Chapter 168 Someone is harming
The carriage of the general's mansion slowly drove into the garrison of Nandu. The wheels rolled and raised a light cloud of dust. The deep and shallow ruts on the ground seemed to tell of an extraordinary journey.
Two young generals came upon hearing the news. They were tall and straight, full of heroic spirit, and their faces were filled with warm smiles. However, when Luo Lingfeng jumped off the carriage, he originally opened his arms with joy, wanting to give his two cousins a warm hug. However, what he never expected was that the two cousins completely ignored his existence and ran straight towards Luo Lingyue's carriage.
Luo Lingyue jumped off the carriage lightly, her skirt fluttering in the wind like a blooming flower. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like a silver bell, full of joy. She ran towards her two cousins happily, shouting, "Third cousin! Fourth cousin! I'm here to see you! I've also brought you some fine wine that I brewed myself!"
At this moment, Luo Lingfeng's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't help feeling a little lost. Looking at the close interaction between Xiao Qi and his two cousins, he felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, he knew that the depth of family affection did not lie in temporary indifference. He believed that as long as he worked hard to cultivate this family affection, it would become more indestructible.
An Junsi squinted at him and whispered, "What? Are you jealous of Xiaoqi? What a pity! You are a younger brother. If you were a younger sister, we would spoil you just as much! In the An family and the Luo family, the least valuable thing is the son!"
Luo Lingfeng pursed his lips. Tsk! When his mother raised him as a daughter, his cousins spoiled him to death. Later, when they found out that he was a younger brother, they beat him up!
Talking too much about the past brings tears to my eyes! He followed An Junsi silently into the garrison.
An Junyi looked at the graceful Luo Lingyue in front of him and couldn't help but smile dotingly: "Wow! Our little baby has grown up to be so beautiful! It's really a good thing for that bastard Xiao Jinghan!"
At this time, Xiao Jinghan was holding a jar of wine called "Zui Liu Nian" and following closely behind Luo Lingyue. He secretly sighed in his heart that it seemed that Luo Lingyue's two cousins didn't know that he was the "asshole" they were talking about!
Luo Lingyue's face was as red as a peach blossom, and she introduced her two cousins with a smile: "Third cousin! Fourth cousin! This is my fiancé Xiao Jinghan!"
However, one of the cousins did not take the wine jar. Instead, he glanced at him with a slightly teasing look: "Hey! Are you the legendary sickly prince?"
Another cousin, An Junzhi, raised his lips slightly and said jokingly, "Third brother! Since you call him a sickly person, then hurry up and catch the jar of wine! Don't tire our Xiao Shizi out!"
Faced with such a situation, Xiao Jinghan could only laugh awkwardly: "Haha, then I will hold this wine jar for my cousins!"
The group slowly walked into the garrison camp, and Luo Lingyue finally met her second uncle, An Qingke, whom she had only heard of but never seen.
An Qingke is completely different from An Qingxuan. He is tall and strong, and looks like a man of steel! He is straightforward and upright. Once he has determined a truth, he will stick to it unswervingly.
In contrast, An Qingke perfectly inherited the appearance and character of Duke Anguo. The other children of the An family, such as An Qingxuan, An Qingyi and Concubine An, are more like replicas of their mother Mo Yuxin, possessing stunning and peerless beauty.
Luo Lingyue walked forward quickly and called out in a tender voice, "Second Uncle! I specially brought the fine wine that I brewed myself, you must taste it! By the way, where is my eldest cousin? What happened to him?"
An Qingke frowned and answered worriedly, "A few days ago, your cousin was ordered to go out on patrol. After he came back, he had a splitting headache. The military doctor diagnosed him and said he had caught a cold. But after taking several doses of medicine, his condition did not improve at all, but became increasingly serious. Yesterday, he was so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed!"
Luo Lingfeng was extremely anxious when he heard this, and he stood up immediately: "Uncle! This is urgent, I will rush over to treat my cousin first! I am worried that he is not suffering from an ordinary cold, but poisoned!"
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale instantly! An Qingke shouted anxiously to An Junsi: "Hurry up and take Xiaoliu and the others back home! I have to write a letter to my eldest brother to explain the situation!"
Luo Lingyue quickly tried to dissuade him, "Second uncle, don't be anxious. Let's wait until Sixth Brother has seen the doctor before making any plans. Sending a letter to First Uncle now will only make him more worried!" Her tone was full of concern and worry, and her eyes were fixed on An Qingke, hoping to calm him down.
An Qingke sighed: "Well then! You guys go and see Junyuan! I have official business to attend to, so it's inconvenient for me to accompany you back!"
An Junsi brought Luo Lingfeng and his party to the gate of the Jiedushi's residence. When the guards at the gate saw the visitors, they hurried forward and saluted An Junsi respectfully.
An Junsi nodded slightly, indicating that they did not need to be polite, and then led everyone straight into the mansion.
After entering the mansion, An Junsi took Luo Lingfeng and others directly to the reception room. At this time, a middle-aged man was standing in the hall. This man was Zhang Dong, the housekeeper of the An family.
An Junsi stepped forward and said to Zhang Dong, "Uncle Zhang! These are my cousins and Prince Xiao. You must follow their instructions!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong immediately bowed and said, "Meetings, Young Master, Young Miss, and Prince Xiao."
An Junsi turned to Luo Lingfeng and said, "Xiao Liu, after you treat your elder brother, if you have anything to say, just tell Uncle Zhang. I still have official business to attend to, so I can only accompany you in the evening!"
Luo Lingfeng nodded to show that he understood. He knew that An Junsi was a senior official with a lot of work to do, and it was not easy for him to take time out to bring them here.
Zhang Dong is an old servant of the An family. He has followed An Qingke since he was a child and has been loyal to him through thick and thin. Over the years, he has been by An Qingke's side, taking good care of his daily life and has won the trust of the An family.
At this moment, Zhang Dong respectfully said to Luo Lingfeng and others: "Master, Miss, Master Xiao, please follow me." After that, he turned around and led everyone towards the inner courtyard.
Walking through a courtyard, Zhang Dong described in detail the people and events that An Junyuan had come into contact with. He sighed and said, "My cousin! The military doctor has come several times, and we have specially invited a very famous local doctor to come. But they all said that my cousin just caught a cold! I'm worried... I'm worried that someone wants to harm my cousin!"
Luo Lingfeng frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
After Zhang Dong looked around to make sure no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "The eldest young master is in charge of the military's personnel dispatch. I'm worried that someone is coveting his position..."
Luo Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and asked in astonishment: "Does Second Uncle know about these things?"
Zhang Dong sighed deeply and replied, "The Second Master said that we think too much of people's hearts! He doesn't believe that anyone would murder the eldest master!"
At this time, Luo Lingyue suddenly asked: "We? Uncle Zhang, who else thinks so?"
Zhang Dong pursed his lips and said softly, "Military Advisor Wang Zijun also thinks so. He has been guarding the eldest young master's bedside for the past two days!"
