After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 379 General Xie

Gu Mingda understood instantly that the person in front of him was a martial artist.

He lowered his head and saw the boots on the tall man's feet, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"Today is the day for my sister's wedding. It is truly an honor for our family that you have the honor of visiting, General." Gu Mingda said with a bow.

The tall man raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency is really smart. You actually know who I am."

When the other members of the Gu family around Gu Mingda heard this, they all looked confused.

Gu Mingda said: "The general is wearing military boots."

General Xie laughed out loud and said, "Lord Gu is very observant. No wonder he was the top scorer in the imperial examination."

When the Gu family encountered the pirates when they entered Beijing, even though Xie Xingchuan was seriously injured, this man never showed up. This was the first time Gu Mingda saw him. Even though he was unhappy, he still asked politely: "General Xie, are you satisfied with today's meal?"

The tall man nodded and said, "Xie has rarely eaten such a satisfying meal in all these years. I am sorry for coming here uninvited."

When Gu Mingda heard this, he felt relieved and thought to himself that this man didn't seem to be such an unreasonable person.

The next second, General Xie's eyes fell on the head of a person next to the Gu family, and he instantly became extremely ferocious.

"What are you still standing there for? Come over here. Are you waiting for me to invite you?" General Xie said coldly.

Gu Mingda immediately said, "Thank you, General. If you teach your children too harshly, it may backfire..."

General Xie said, "Master Gu, there is a saying in the sage book you read, 'If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful tool.' Some children are born to be carved with knives and swords before they have a chance of becoming useful. If they are not carved, they will be like weeds on the roadside, which will die if stepped on."

Niu Niu held Xie Xingchuan's hand tightly. The little girl could sense that Xie Xingchuan had become nervous ever since this man appeared in public.

"Brother, don't worry about this bad guy, Daddy will protect us!" said the little girl with certainty.

Xie Xingchuan showed a bitter smile on his face and said, "My dear, you are still young, you don't understand..."

When Niuniu heard this, she was immediately confused and tilted her head and said, "If you encounter bad guys, why don't you just let Daddy beat them away? Why do you look so embarrassed?"

Xie Xingchuan said helplessly: "But the bad guy you are talking about is my father."

When the little girl heard this, her face looked like it was struck by lightning, and her whole body looked like a cracked stone statue.

Xie Xingchuan was originally in a heavy mood because of his father's appearance, but because of the little girl's silly expression at this moment, he felt as if a corner of the dark haze had been dispelled, and he didn't seem to feel so bad anymore.

For him, the days in Gu's family were just like a dream. This was a beautiful family that he had never imagined existed. How he wished that he was a child of Gu's family.

But unfortunately, his last name is Xie.

"The sprouts of grass and trees can also push away rocks. This thing that seems like anyone can step on it is actually extremely tough." Gu Mingda said to General Xie at this time.

General Xie raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Lord Gu is a scholar, and he may believe in teaching everyone, but we warriors are different. On the battlefield, if we are not good enough and the sword is blind, we may lose our lives without knowing why." General Xie did not give Gu Mingda a chance to refute, but said to Xie Xingchuan, "Do you want me to say the same thing to you a second time?"

When Xie Xingchuan heard such orders, he lowered his head slightly and took a step forward.

Then, he was pulled by a small hand again.

Although Niu Niu has not yet digested the information she just received, it does not stop her from wanting to protect Xie Xingchuan.

The little girl took two quick steps, stood in front of Xie Xingchuan, and said to General Xie: "He is my brother! He wants to stay in my house! He can't go with you!"

As a general who had been on the battlefield for many years, he had no idea how many lives he had lost. General Xie just frowned, and the murderous aura from his whole body was almost overflowing.

The little girl had never seen such a scene before, and her face turned pale.

Xie Xingchuan quickly held the little girl in his arms: "Don't be afraid, Niuniu, it's okay..."

Although the little girl was shaking all over, she seemed to cheer herself up: "Don't be afraid, Niuniu, I'm not afraid at all, I want to protect my brother."

Seeing the brother and sister like this, Gu Mingda couldn't help but say to General Xie: "The child is still young, why don't you continue to stay in my house for a while."

General Xie saw the excitement of the Gu family from beginning to end today. He saw the marriage between two ordinary people being arranged by the Queen Mother, and also saw the closeness between Niu Niu and Li Shunfu.

Others did not know Li Shunfu, but he had seen him before. One year, he was ordered to escort the empress dowager to the Huguo Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to burn incense and pray for blessings. Li Shunfu also accompanied the empress dowager and was said to be the most trusted eunuch chief steward around the empress dowager.

General Xie had previously known that Niu Niu had entered the palace to pray for a child, but he had no idea that this little girl actually had such an ability that the empress dowager valued her so much.

It was precisely for this reason that he suppressed himself and waited until the wedding banquet was over before planning to take Xie Xingchuan away. Even until now, he was negotiating with the Gu family and had no intention of falling out.

"Lord Gu, my son started training at the age of three, and learned martial arts at the age of five. He has learned good marksmanship. From the moment he was born, he was destined to be on the battlefield. The capital city is peaceful and prosperous, but his injuries have healed now. After resting for such a long time, it is time for him to return to Binzhou with me." General Xie said.

Gu Mingda frowned slightly, his face full of reluctance.

Xie Xingchuan bent down and said to Niuniu seriously, "My dear, I want to go to Binzhou with my father. My leaving the capital does not mean that we are no longer a family. It's just that I belong to the battlefield."

There were tears in Niu Niu's eyes. She was too young and could not understand the meaning of parting at all.

"I went to Binzhou, just like you entered the palace. Although you had to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, you would have to come out sooner or later. The same goes for me. I will come back sooner or later." Xie Xingchuan tried hard to explain to the girl.

The little girl reluctantly understood, but she was still very sad. She cried and said, "But when I was in the palace, I really, really... missed you guys... If you went to Binzhou, would you... would you also miss us very, very much?"

Seeing the little girl's face covered with tears and nose, Xie Xingchuan felt his nose sore. Thinking back to the time he spent as a son of the Gu family, it felt like a dream.

"As a real man, you should be strong and resilient. Why do you have to act like a child?" General Xie said with a cold face.

Xie Xingchuan's body stiffened.
