Chapter 324 Recognition

After eating hot pot, Chu Lingxuan accompanied Chen Afu to the silver shop to buy some jewelry and ornaments, and asked Luo Yuan to buy famous snacks and specialties in Beijing. The things for returning home were basically bought.

However, if Wang Liuzhi really had a relationship with Wang Cheng, he would not be able to return home on time on the 21st.

Chen Afu spent the whole night in anxious waiting.

The next morning, Chen Afu made many egg tarts again. This time she did not use mangoes. There were only a few mangoes left, and she planned to take them back to Tangyuan. She made thousand-layer puff pastry egg tarts with some raisins in them, which was another flavor.

She made a lot of them. In addition to the family, she gave 40 to the Queen Mother and 20 to the Rui Wang Mansion. However, she did not give them to Li. Since she had already torn her face, Chen Afu was no longer polite to her. She was the master of the inner courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion, how could she be bullied by a sidekick.

After finishing, she started to pack up again. If Wang Liuzhi had no relationship with Wang Cheng, she would leave the capital tomorrow afternoon. After staying overnight in Tong County, he took a boat back to Dingzhou Prefecture the next morning.

At about 9:00 p.m., the personal soldiers who went to inquire about the news came back. Not only did the personal soldiers come back, but they also brought Wang Liuzhi with them. Chu Lingxuan asked them to come directly to Zhuxuan to report.

There was a screen in the hall. Chu Lingxuan received the two outside, and Chen Afu hid on the other side of the screen and peeked.

When Wang Liuzhi, wearing a soldier's uniform, followed the personal soldiers in, Chen Afu's tears flowed out. She was sure that this person was her uncle Wang Cheng. Because he looked very much like Wang and Chen Alu, although he had a short beard, his appearance could still be clearly seen. His eyes were not big, he had some double eyes, his nose was very straight, his lips were a little thin, and his body was thin and small.

Wang Liuzhi didn't know why he came to the Marquis's Mansion to see General Chu, and he was very nervous. As soon as he came in, he wanted to kneel down to Chu Lingxuan, and Chu Huai, who was beside him, quickly supported him. Chu Huai had heard about Wang Liuzhi's possible identity, but he didn't dare to let him kneel down.

Chu Lingxuan asked Wang Liuzhi to sit down and had tea served. He said with a pleasant face, "Don't be nervous. One of my relatives thought you looked like her old friend and asked me to ask for help." He then asked, "What's your name? How old are you this year? Where is your hometown?"

Wang Liuzhi quickly stood up and clasped his fists. Chu Lingxuan asked him to sit down and answer.

Wang Liuzhi said, "My name is Wang Cheng. I'm 32 years old this year. My hometown is Xiaoli Village, Yi'an County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Jibei Province. I was sold there. Because I was young, I have forgotten where my real hometown is. I only remember that my name is Wang Cheng, but my adoptive father named me Li Gousheng. Nineteen years ago, my dynasty went to war with the Western Regions, and I joined the army and went to the front. My adoptive father's family treated me very badly. As soon as I entered the barracks, I changed my name back to Wang Cheng..."

Before he finished speaking, a woman's sobbing came from the other side of the screen.

Chu Lingxuan also became excited. There was no doubt that this Wang Cheng was Ah Fu's uncle. He stood up and said, "Afu, come out."

Chen Afu came out crying and said to Wang Liuzhi, who had already stood up and looked surprised, "Uncle, my mother's name is Wang Juanniang, and I am your niece Afu."

When Wang Cheng heard his sister's name, he burst into tears and choked, "You are my sister's daughter? Oh my God, how could it be such a coincidence. My sister, my sister, was the best person to me when I was a child... I only remember three things when I was a child. My name is Wang Cheng, my sister Wang Juanniang is a child bride, and my sister called me Xiaodi... In order to remember my sister, she also named my son Wang Xiaodi... I have always wanted to save more money to take back to Xiaoli Village, ask my adoptive father's family about my life experience, and want to find my sister. But I am incompetent, and I haven't saved much until now..."

Wang Cheng cried and said, and some of the words were not clear, but Chen Afu understood it all and cried even harder. Chu Lingxuan patted her back to comfort her.

The servants brought the basin, and the two washed their faces and began to chatter again.

Chen Afu talked about Wang's recent situation. Wang Cheng heard that his sister was doing well, and when he saw that his niece was actually married to the prince of the Marquis's mansion, he cried with joy again.

After that, Wang Cheng roughly talked about his life in recent years.

Nineteen years ago, he entered the military camp. Although he was young, he suffered a lot since he was a child. He did all kinds of work at a young age, and learned ironmaking, which forged a flexible posture and quick reaction, so he was assigned to the scout camp.

Chen Afu knew that scouts were equivalent to scouts or special forces in previous lives.

Because Wang Cheng endured hardships and had no worries, he was the kind of person who dared to fight and was not afraid of death, and accumulated a lot of small military merits. Two years later, he was sent to complete a particularly important task. They knew that a prince of the enemy country was going to come to the front line to comfort the enemy troops, and they also knew the route and time he was going to take, and the task was to assassinate the prince.

Before leaving, his superior General Zhao said that he should do a good job and he would be promoted when he came back this time.

In fact, this is a death squad. In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, there are only fifty members. Even if they can complete the mission at the risk of death, few people will return to the camp alive.

Wang Cheng was still very happy. He thought that if he died, he would die, but if he could come back alive and get promoted, his adoptive father's family would not dare to provoke him, and he could ask where his original home was. He returned home in glory and could also help his sister. He knew that the life of a child bride was not easy.

They sneaked into the enemy's hinterland and ambushed in a forest that the prince had to pass. When the prince rode by on horseback, they ambushed in the trees and shot arrows at the same time, piercing the prince like a sieve.

There were hundreds of people escorting the prince, and they were outnumbered. In the end, only a few people escaped with injuries. Half of Wang Cheng's palm was cut off and he was injured in many places. He fainted when he ran back to the barracks.

When he woke up, General Zhao told him very embarrassedly that they had completed the mission very well. Marshal Ye was very happy and said that he would reward these people who came back. However, because his injuries were so severe that it was thought he would not survive, his military exploits were falsely claimed. And that person's background is very powerful, and they can't afford to offend him.

Originally, the man told General Zhao that Wang Cheng would be killed even if he was not dead. But General Zhao couldn't bear it, so he found a relationship and took Wang Cheng to another military camp far away from here. Since Wang Cheng was disabled, he was sent to feed the horses.

Wang Cheng was honest and knew that he couldn't afford to offend those officials, and he didn't want to cause trouble for General Zhao, so he had to endure it and never mentioned it. Because he was willing to study hard and the horses he fed were strong and disease-free, he stayed in the army. Even after the war, the commander was reluctant to let him return home. Later, the army changed defenses and followed the army here again.

He always wanted to save some money and go back to ask about his life experience, so he didn't find a wife. Nine years ago, when he was twenty-three years old, he met Wu and was teased.

He saved the Wu family, and the Wu family thanked him and boldly confessed that she was willing to commit herself to him. He saw that Wu was good at embroidery, and she was very similar to his sister in this way, so he promised to marry her...
