Fragrance Returned

After closing the doors and windows, Xunxiang began to trot around the house.

Feifei was so happy that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she spread her wings and ran with her master.

I sweat more and more and the fragrance becomes stronger and stronger.

Xunxiang lay on the bed and Feifei pressed close to her.

After a period of darkness, the vision suddenly became brighter. The endless sky was dotted with stars, twinkling and twinkling. They were so close to her, as if she could reach them with her hands.

The camera slowly slid down, and I saw that the sea was as boundless as the sky. The waves were surging gently. Several large ships were rising and falling with the waves, and the white sails were shining silver under the starlight.

The sea tonight is so gentle, like gently shaking blue satin. Xunxiang had a feeling that this was not the place she had dreamed about a few days ago.

The camera went down further and saw many people standing on the deck. They were all wearing military uniforms with a white rope tied around their waists.

These people are showing filial piety.

Finally I saw the face I thought about day and night, it was Ding Lichun, the eldest brother!

He stood next to Wang Qing, who was looking ahead with a monocular telescope.

As the camera got closer and closer, the faces of Wang Zhen, Zou Qing, and Qian Lei flashed by, and finally settled on Ding Lichun's entire face and half of Wang Qing's face.

Ding Lichun's eyes were full of sadness, there were blisters on his mouth, he had lost weight and became darker.

Wang Qing took off the telescope, shook his head, and said things like "nothing" and "the last night."

He looked sad, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Xunxiang guessed that they probably knew that Dong Yihe was dead, but they did not give up and were still searching.

Wang Qing knew the truth and was just pretending to be sad. And it’s really sad that the eldest brother doesn’t know the truth.

After a while, Ding Lichun and Wang Zhen got on a small boat with two soldiers and continued to search in the vast sea.

The sea water stirred up by the oars wetted Ding Lichun's clothes and face. He looked around and shouted "General Dong" from time to time.

I couldn't hear his voice, but I could feel how hoarse it was.

Seeing that sad and anxious face until I woke up.

Xunxiang breathed a long sigh of relief, and tears of joy welled up.

Daddy Dong has escaped successfully and his eldest brother is still alive.

Amitabha!

Xunxiang wiped her sweat and got up, walked over and opened the small window.

The quiet and bright starry sky is just like in the dream, and the wind is particularly soft tonight.

I hope Daddy and Mrs. Dong will be safe and smooth in another world and realize their lofty ideals.

I hope my eldest brother will come home soon. She and her family miss him.

Two days later, another battle report came from Fujian.

The Dalishui army won a complete victory.

The Japanese pirates received information from Shen Mou. In early September, King Jing, the son of Emperor Dali, would board Dong Yihe's warship. Shen Mou replaced the cannonballs provided by the court with cannonballs soaked in water. The rebellion of Goryeo The army will also be dispatched to intercept.

The Japanese pirates then dispatched more than half of their warships, hoping to eliminate Dong Yihe, their henchman, and King Jing, the most powerful rival of King Qi, in one fell swoop.

Dong Yihe saw that a huge sea overflow would occur in the area of ​​Mingqi Island a few days after the tenth day of September, attracting all the Japanese warships to the waters near Mingqi Island.

Before the battle even started, all the Japanese warships were swallowed up by the overflowing sea.

Afraid of enemy suspicion, the Dong family's army had no time to retreat completely. Dong Yihe's large "Fu Lou" warship and five medium-sized "Mengchong" warships also disappeared in the sea.

The Dali army is doing its best to search and rescue, and there is little hope of recovery...

This news excited the emperor and Qun. Fusang is a small country. If half of their warships and tens of thousands of naval troops are destroyed, Japanese pirates will not dare to invade for at least several decades.

Although Dong Zongbing died in battle, he was more important than Mount Tai and died well.

The emperor knew that a miracle would never happen and Dong Zongbing would not come back, so he had to wait until the exact news that he could not find it was sent back to Beijing before he would reward the Dong family.

As soon as the news came out, Xun Xiang went to Ding Mansion and Xun Yibo went to Dong Mansion.

Xun Xiang knew what was going on, and Dong Ping also knew what was going on, but they always had to act like it.

The Xun family, Mi family, Shen family and other families who had good relations with the Dong family all went to Fengenhou Mansion to comfort Dong Ping.

Dong Ping fainted "sadly". His mother had died just over half a year ago, and his father was gone again. No one can bear the death of both parents within a year.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao felt uneasy.

They guessed that Dong Yihe had successfully escaped, and he would definitely arrange the escape route for Lichun.

But I still feel uneasy without getting the exact news about my son.

As soon as Xunxiang entered the main courtyard, Ding Zhao took her to the side room, where Ding Zhuang was waiting.

Xunxiang whispered to them, "I dreamed about my eldest brother yesterday. He was alive and well, and seemed to be looking for someone. My eldest brother has lost weight, and I feel so sad."

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao absolutely believed in Xun Xiang's dream and were completely relieved.

Ding Zhuang suppressed his laughter a few times, "Ruyue's heart is just soft. She was afraid that we would be worried, so she gave Xiangxiang this dream."

Xunxiang is funny. Grandpa will always find the best reasons for her dreams.

She went to Zhang's bedroom.

Zhang's eyes were swollen from crying and she fell ill in bed. Ding Lichun was Dong Yihe's bodyguard. Dong Yihe was killed in battle, so Ding Lichun must have died as well.

Ding Liren also came back and served in front of the bed.

Xunxiang took Zhang's hand and persuaded, "Mom, eldest brother will be fine. I am extremely prosperous and will definitely protect eldest brother and nothing will happen to him."

It was hard for her to say anything else, and she had to use her fortune teller to explain things.

Ding Liren also said, "Mom, I believe what my sister says. You see how many things happened to our family, but they all came out safely in the end."

There was a glint in Zhang's eyes, "Is your eldest brother really going to be fine?"

Xun Xiang said firmly, "It's definitely fine."

Ms. Zhang felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that her son would be fine.

After the soup was boiled, Ding Liren held it in his hands and Xunxiang fed it to Mrs. Zhang one by one.

Not long after, Ding Chi and his wife, Mrs. Xue, Xue Tian and Ding Zhen's family came.

Ding Chi is still like that. His condition has not worsened, but he is frighteningly ugly and has difficulty moving.

Looking at his worried father and elder brother, he wanted to say something like, "With the fragrance covering them, everything will be fine at the beginning of spring." But he swallowed the words.

Now, he didn't dare to say another word about fate.

Ding Zhen's family was also worried. Wang Qing and Wang Zhen are both on the battlefield. I wonder how they are doing.

After dinner, Xunxiang and Ding Zhen went to Yang Mansion to visit Yang Shu together.

Ding Lichun and Yang Shu's marriage was scheduled for October 26th, and the Ding family was about to send out their appointments in half a month.

This is Xunxiang's first visit to Yang Mansion.

Xunxiang was the princess. The carriage entered the main entrance and after getting off the carriage, she was directly invited to Yang Shu's courtyard.

Mrs. Yang, Grandma Yang, and Miss Yang are all here.

Mrs. Yang's eyes were red and her face was ugly.

She cried and said, "Shu'er cried so hard. How could such a good child like Li Chun be so lucky? That thing, that thing, ugh..."

Xunxiang saw that Mrs. Yang regretted listening to her daughter and was unwilling to marry her into Ding's house again.

Xun Xiang understood this. After all, no one wanted to leave a young daughter widowed. (End of chapter)
