Chapter 368 Return to Qingzhou
Sun Tu actually knew Hu Rong's feelings for him, but for a moment he didn't know how to make a decision, so he could only bring the person back to Qingzhou before making plans. A young girl who was unmarried was sincere to him and even faced many powerful enemies for him that day. Sun Tu is not a heartless person, and he can't hurt others' hearts now. As for his feelings for Hu Rong, maybe there is also, but because the two parties don't have much contact, it's not as strong as they have to marry her.
In addition, Sun Tu also knew that he had Yaer in Qingzhou, and he agreed to marry her early in the morning, which took another month or two... Perhaps she would give up when Hu Rong was brought back to Qingzhou and let her know that she was about to marry Yaer soon.
With some tangled thoughts, they headed east. Compared to the speed of their previous adventure skiing, this time they returned much slower. It took them seven or eight days before they finally saw the familiar Qingzhou City again.
At this time, the entire city of Qingzhou City had already received the news that Sun Dujian had returned, and had already come out early and waited in the eastern suburbs. When he saw the Sun-word banner rising from the end of the road and the familiar army came forward with great courage, the people cheered, and countless people suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The Qingzhou army is victorious, Sun Dujian is mighty!"
Soon, the shouts came out, and finally became the unanimous shouts of tens of thousands of officials and civilians, making all the officials and soldiers from miles away hear clearly. This also shocked the people of Zhuhu Village, who had just arrived in Qingzhou, and even their faces turned a little pale. They really didn't expect that the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou would be so united and respect Sun Tu so much!
When Sun Tu rode his horse to these people, Huang Wenbing stepped forward with great strides in the crowd of elders and came to him and said with deep tribute: "I led my Qingzhou military and civilians to congratulate the governor on his return to defeat the powerful enemy. After today, the name of our Qingzhou army will surely spread within the world, and we will no longer have the danger of bandits!"
Seeing this, Sun Tu quickly dismounted, helped him up, and then helped others with whispering, saying loudly: "Everyone doesn't have to be so polite. Although I defeated the Liangshan bandit this time, my credit is the one of the soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou. If it weren't for everyone's full support, my Qingzhou would not have won the victory today! I also believe that as long as you and I continue to be one, everything in my Qingzhou will flourish and a great day is right in front of me."
As soon as these words were spoken, cheers resounded throughout the fields again. Then, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians surrounded a few hundred people and returned to Qingzhou City. The people along the way fed and ate the pots of slurry and welcomed the soldiers to return triumphantly. The prosperity of them was not something that words could express.
Zhu Biao and others were also excited. Thinking that their family would become a member of this glorious Qingzhou army in the future, these people were becoming more and more motivated and wished they could enter the military camp today and start practicing with the Qingzhou army tomorrow.
Feeling the respect of the military and civilians in the city for themselves, Sun Tu was also full of excitement and smiling. Until he walked forward for a while, he saw a slender figure standing among the crowd, looking at him with admiration, his heart suddenly throbbed - it was Ya'er.
Sun Tu was actually full of indebtedness to this girl who loved her wholeheartedly. I don’t need to mention the past. This time, I clearly agreed to marry her in the first lunar month, but because of the Zhujiazhuang incident, it broke its promise again. This hurts a woman so much.
This time, she returned and brought Hu Rong back. Once Ya'er knew her feelings, she would probably be disappointed and sad. At this moment, Sun Dujian, who would not timidly retreat even when he met a strong enemy, actually felt timid and did not even dare to face Ya'er's gaze.
Yaer, who was originally smiling and waiting to meet Sun Tu, suddenly noticed his avoidance, which made the girl's sensitive heart tremble. Soon, with her daughter's unique sixth sense, Yaer discovered the key to making her third brother lose her composure, the beautiful woman who had been following behind him and was also staring at him affectionately with a tender and watery look.
"She is..." Ya'er's heart suddenly tightened, but it was not completely confused. After a careful look, she finally recognized Hu Rong's identity: "Isn't she the sister who killed the enemy with her third brother in that small town last year? Could it be that they..." An extremely uneasy mood had already risen from her heart.
Ya'er has always regarded Sun Tu as the heaven and is proud of his continuous success. However, as Sun Tu's status has become higher and higher, she is becoming more and more inferior. In the past few years, the third brother has become a great hero in everyone's mind and a high official in the court, but what about herself? She is still just a little girl, a little girl who is nothing if she leaves the third brother, and she doesn't even know how to survive. She is really worthy of the third brother. Can she share his worries?
She remembered very clearly that when a thief attacked in that town that day, Sister Hu was the one who could kill the enemy side by side with the third brother. This time she should have killed the enemy with the third brother, so she came back together... Compared to herself, Sister Hu might be the more suitable candidate to be the wife of the third brother.
The inferiority complex hits her face like a tide, which makes Yaer feel suffocated while being sad. Do she want to give up her attachment to the third brother and help them? She actually doesn't mind sharing the love of the third brother with others, but is that sister Hu willing to accept her? Will the third brother feel embarrassed because of this? She can no longer help the third brother, and she really doesn't want to make him feel embarrassed anymore.
In just a short moment, Ya'er's heart was already a lot of entanglement, and she even thought about quitting and leaving to fulfill Sun Tu and Hu Rong. Her eyes were also filled with sadness and attachment. She just stared at Sun Tu who was getting closer and closer, and she didn't know what to say.
Sun Tu, who had been hiding from her gaze, also noticed the sadness in the girl's heart at this moment. Without turning around and looking, he had already guessed why Ya'er had such thoughts, which made his heart tighten and hurt.
I must never let Ya'er suffer such grievances, even if it hurts the heart of another woman who loves me!
Making up his mind, Sun Tu suddenly lifted the reins and rode his horse forward for two steps. When he rushed to Ya'er, he spread his long arms and quickly hugged the light and slender man. Then, in front of the surprised eyes of the military and civilians in the city, he shouted loudly: "My Sun Tu uses heaven and earth as his proof, and will marry Ya'er in three days!"
After the words came, everyone around was stunned for a long time, and then they burst out again with a fierce cheer that could lift the whole day: "We are going to congratulate the chief minister on the wedding..."
