Chapter 243: Teng Ying and General Teng Reunite
Chapter 243: Teng Ying and General Teng Reunite
When Teng Ying heard the gatekeeper say that the general had returned, he trembled.
She was happy but nervous at the same time as she was about to meet her husband after twenty years of separation.
Teng Xixi hugged her mother's hand and jumped up and down, saying excitedly:
"Mom, did you hear that? The soldier just said that the general is back. My dad is now the general of the cavalry. Could it be that my dad is back?"
Teng Ying did not respond to her daughter's words. She slowly looked back with anticipation and nervousness.
Not far away, dozens of war horses were rushing towards the gate of the military camp.
The group of people in military uniforms on horseback looked very majestic.
On the warhorse running in the front sat a tall and burly man, his silver military uniform particularly eye-catching and eye-catching.
Jiayu looked back, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.
Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
As they were approaching the entrance to the military camp, Teng Jingyun noticed several people in strange costumes on one side of the entrance.
With a quick glance, I was met with a pair of eyes that couldn't be more familiar.
The moment their eyes met, Teng Ying's eyes were filled with tears of joy and pride.
She remembered that before traveling to the modern era, her husband was still a captain, but she didn't expect that he has now become a general guarding the border.
"Xu~"
After recognizing that it was his wife Teng Ying who had been missing for twenty years, Teng Jingyun immediately reined in his horse.
As the warhorse slowed down in an instant, its hooves were raised high, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Teng Ying watched the warhorse stop in front of her, almost touching her. She was stunned with shock.
When the horse's hooves landed, Teng Jingyun lifted his battle robe, immediately turned over and got off the horse, standing in front of his wife.
The two of them looked at each other with red eyes. Without saying a word, they recognized each other through the look in each other's eyes.
Twenty years have passed. Although we are no longer young, our appearance has not changed much from the beginning, except for some traces of time.
Teng Ying looked up at her husband, tears fell, and she choked up:
"Husband, I'm back. Your Ah Ying is back."
Teng Jingyun didn't say anything and simply hugged his wife in his arms, pouring all his twenty years of longing for her into this hug.
Jiayu discovered that Teng Ying looked so small and frail in the arms of the tall and burly general that it seemed as if she could be strangled in half with one hand.
Even from a distance, she could feel the full sense of security emanating from the general on behalf of Teng Ying.
The soldiers at the door looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that the person coming was really the general's wife?
Hasn’t their general been missing for twenty years?
Is it a sequel?
They are always by the general's side, but they have never heard that the general has remarried!
Teng Jingyun slowly let go of his wife's body, and carefully held his wife's delicate and fair face with his rough big hands. He gently wiped away the tears on his wife's cheeks with his thumbs, and asked in a gentle and distressed tone:
"Aying, where have you been these years? Have you suffered a lot?"
As soon as her husband expressed his concern, Teng Ying's tears were like a collapsed dam, and she couldn't stop them.
She cried and shook her head: "No, I haven't suffered in these years."
Jiayu looked at Teng Ying and felt distressed as he told lies.
How could there be no suffering?
In modern times, a husband is just a husband in name only. He can’t help her at all when she is busy and he still eats and drinks her food.
I don’t know how much hardship I went through to raise two children and to expand the Teng Group.
In the end, she was severely beaten by her modern husband and was almost sold to a perverted old man.
If they had not been time travelers, Teng Ying and her son would have ended up in a miserable situation.
"Dad, how could my mom not suffer? She suffered a lot."
Teng Xixi felt sorry for her mother and spoke out.
This somewhat childish voice successfully attracted Teng Jingyun's attention.
Teng Jingyun turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
In the girl’s face, I saw myself and my wife when we were young.
Could this be his daughter?
When his wife disappeared, she was pregnant.
Is this child the one that was in my wife’s belly back then?
Teng Jingyun looked at Teng Xixi, tears welling up in his eyes. He grasped Teng Xixi's shoulders and asked:
"Child, you are my daughter, right?"
Teng Xixi nodded happily with red eyes:
"Yes, father. I am your child. We finally meet. Woo woo woo."
As he spoke, Teng Xixi threw herself into his father's arms feeling aggrieved.
Teng Jingyun hugged his daughter, gently stroked her back, and said:
"Child, Dad will make it up to you and your mother in the future and will not let you suffer anymore."
After saying that, he also hugged his wife in his arms and cherished her.
Looking at the family of three hugging each other, Jiayu curled his lips with relief.
When it was almost time, she deliberately coughed twice:
"Ahem, General Teng."
Thinking that the Queen was still present, Teng Ying immediately came out from her husband's arms and wiped away her tears.
Teng Jingyun looked to the other side and found that there was another woman there.
He hadn't looked closely at who this strangely dressed woman was before, and now when he looked at her carefully, he didn't recognize her.
Since the unification of Da Qi, Teng Jingyun has been guarding Gaos.
Even when the emperor and empress got married, he did not go back to attend.
Naturally, I didn’t know that Jiayu was the current Queen.
After thinking carefully and realizing that he had never met this woman before, Teng Jingyun asked:
"Who is the girl?"
Teng Ying asked in surprise:
"My dear, this is the current Queen of Daqi. Haven't you seen her?"
Teng Jingyun was shocked, "Empress?"
Why did the Queen come to the border military camp?
Why is he here with his wife and daughter?
Jiayu smiled and said:
"Madam Teng, it's normal that General Teng doesn't know me."
"After Daqi unified the Central Plains, General Teng has been guarding the border and has never returned to the imperial capital. Naturally, he has no chance to see me."
Teng Ying nodded in understanding:
"I see."
Teng Jingyun thought that his wife would not lie, and the woman in front of him must be the Queen.
After coming to his senses, he immediately knelt on one knee with his fists clasped:
"General Teng Jingyun pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Upon hearing the noise and seeing the situation, the soldiers around were also ordered to dismount and kneel in salute.
Jiayu said to everyone:
"Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite."
Not long after, Jiayu, followed by Qilin, patrolled around the military camp to see the environment of the camp and the mental state of the soldiers.
At this time, there were only Teng Jingyun and his wife in the general's tent.
Looking at her husband who was tidying up the bedding so that she could have a good rest, Teng Ying didn't feel happy.
She thought about the fact that she had been married in modern times and had lived with that man for twenty years. She wondered if her husband would dislike her if he knew about it.
Although her body had never been touched by Teng Shi, she had been married for the second time after all...
If the husband minds the title of second marriage, will he feel disgusted with her?
"Okay, Ah Ying, have a good sleep first. We can talk after you have rested well."
"I have asked the deputy general to make arrangements for my daughter. Don't worry about her."
"As for the queen, she said she would leave later, so there is no need to make any arrangements."
After making the bed, Teng Jingyun turned around and said to his wife.
Seeing that his wife looked worried, he asked with concern:
"What's wrong? Are you not used to it here?"
Teng Ying shook her head. "No, I just have a lot to say to you, but I don't know how to start."
Teng Jingyun put his arm around his wife's shoulders, helped her sit down on the bed, and said softly:
"Just say whatever you want to say. I'm listening. No matter what you've been through over the years, you will always be the most important person in my heart."
Teng Ying burst into tears and threw herself into her husband's arms...
After an unknown amount of time, Jiayu stopped patrolling and returned to Teng Jingyun's tent.
As soon as he came in, he saw Teng Ying asleep. Teng Jingyun stood by the bed, holding his wife's hand, looking at her sleeping face with gentle eyes.
It was as if a lost treasure had finally returned to my hands, and I couldn't take my eyes off it for a moment, for fear of losing it again.
Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Teng Jingyun turned his head to look.
Seeing that it was the Queen, he put his wife's hand back, stood up and walked over.
Before he could speak, Jiayu spoke first:
"General Teng, I have personally sent your wife and daughter to you, so I can rest assured and focus on other things."
"I have other things to do today, so I'll take my leave now. As for what your wife and daughter have been through in the past twenty years and how they met me, they will tell you the truth later."
Teng Jingyun said: "My lady, I will send someone to escort you..."
Jiayu interrupted him:
"No need, I have Qilin alone, which is enough for me."
"Da Qi was able to unify the Central Plains overnight thanks to Qilin, so you don't have to doubt his ability. He can protect me well."
At this point, Jiayu glanced at the sleeping Teng Ying and said:
"General Teng, there is something your wife may not have the courage to tell you, so I will tell her for her."
"In order to make a living and for the sake of her unborn child, she happened to meet a man who treated her well, so she chose to marry that man."
"But that man hates women and only likes men. In the past twenty years, he has never touched your wife."
"Your wife might be worried that you mind her being married, and she wouldn't know how to tell you about her experiences over the years."
Teng Jingyun looked at his wife with love and heartache, and said to Jiayu:
"In fact, for me, as long as my wife is still alive, I don't mind whether she is married and has children or not. Over the years, my original intention has been to hope that she is alive."
"Now that I have finally recovered what I lost, why would I care about my wife's past? I am already feeling sorry for her."
When Jiayu heard Teng Jingyun say this, he curled his lips in relief:
"Okay, then General Teng, I don't have anything else to say, so I'll leave first."
Teng Jingyun followed Jiayu out of the tent and said:
"My lady, I will take you to..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw Qilin grab the Empress's hand and then disappear in an instant.
Teng Jingyun was stunned.
After coming to his senses, he exclaimed:
"The rumors are indeed true. Daqi really had the help of an immortal, which allowed us to defeat the millions of Dajin and Beilin armies alone and unify the Central Plains overnight."
"It seems that the young man just now was the Qilin Immortal!"

Before returning to Xijia Village, Jiayu went to Xie's house.
She wanted to ask whether Mr. Qian was really here to apologize.
As the distance from the military camp to Xie's house was short, Jiayu endured for twenty seconds and did not let himself faint before arriving at Xie's house.
Xie Yao was not on the first floor, so she went straight to the second floor.
Thinking that Xie Yao should be in her father's room taking care of her father now.
When she walked to the door of Xie Yao's father's room and caught a glimpse of two figures inside, Jiayu stopped and secretly hid at the side of the door to peek.
Father Xie was lying on the bed with his back facing up. Qian Yunchen was sitting beside the bed, patiently rubbing medicinal wine on Father Xie.
Xie Yao held the bottle by the bed and looked at his father with heartache.
While applying medicine to Xie's father, Qian Yunchen said in an apologetic tone:
"Thank you, Boss. I'm really sorry. It was my elder brother who failed to discipline his son and caused his son to come out and bump into you, causing you to be seriously injured."
"But please rest assured, Mr. Xie, my Qian family will double compensate for the losses during the period when Xie Garden was closed."
"I will come to take care of you every day until you recover."
Father Xie did not refuse Qian Yunchen's offer of medicine.
He thought that the Qian family was indeed wealthy and powerful. If the Qian family wanted to take over his Xie Garden for themselves over the past twenty years, why did they wait until last night to take action?
I'm afraid it's that young master Qian who's doing bad things outside without his family's knowledge.
"Young Master Qian has received the punishment he deserves. Young Master Qian, this matter is over now."
"I have long thought about closing my business. As for compensating Xie Yuan, there is no need to do so."
"Mr. Qian, you are so kind to me. I appreciate it. Now that I have someone to take care of me, I won't waste Mr. Qian's precious time."
Qian Yunchen said firmly:
"After all, this is the fault of my Qian family. I must personally take care of Master Xie to atone for my sins until Master Xie recovers."
Seeing that Qian Yunchen was determined to do so, Xie's father asked his daughter to persuade Qian Yunchen:
"Yaoyao, please persuade Mr. Qian on behalf of your father. It's not like your father has no one to take care of him."
Xie Yao looked at Qian Yunchen, and was startled when he saw his gentle and affectionate eyes.
After realizing that something was wrong with her, she quickly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and said to Qian Yunchen:
"Master Qian, I am taking care of my father, you don't have to..."
"You are a girl, how can you be taken care of by a man like me? This matter is settled."
The other party's doting yet irresistible tone left Xie Yao speechless.
Seeing this, Jiayu smiled slightly, and instead of going out to say hello to Xie Yao, he left with Qilin.
"crunch~"
When Xie Yao heard the sound of the window being smashed, he shuddered.
Qian Yunchen immediately chased out of the room and stood in the corridor, observing the surroundings, and asked:
"Who?"
Qian Yunchen frowned when he saw that one of the windows at the end of the corridor was broken.
He thought: "That mysterious man appeared twice today and ran away quickly. Who is targeting Xie Yuan? What is his purpose?"
"No, for Miss Xie's safety, I have to find a way to live in Xie Garden so that I can protect Miss Xie at all times."
At this time, Xie Yao in the room lowered his head and thought.
I thought to myself, "Could it be that Qilin brought the boss here and then left?"
"Strange, why doesn't the boss come in and say hello to me?"

After returning to Xiaoxi's home in Xijia Village and chatting with Xiaoxi for a while, Jiayu said:
"Xiao Xi, let's talk again when we have time. I have something to do. Please help me get Chief Li over here. I will take him home."
Xiao Xi: "Okay."
But not long after Xiao Xi left, he hurried back, panting and saying:
"Miss Jia, Chief Li, he, he,"
Jiayu stood up in worry and asked hurriedly, "What happened to him?"
