"Hey, this is a long story. It's not far from my home. If you don't mind, why don't you come over and sit with me?"

Luo Tianbao was eager to know the situation of his master and others, so he immediately agreed after hearing this. Everyone had no choice but to follow behind. The group finally came to an alley next to the escort agency. The Ding family lived in a small courtyard, and the place was not small.

It just seemed a bit depressed, and at this time there were only Mr. Ding and Mr. Gui in the house. He finally calmed down the child, and was busy making tea and serving water to entertain everyone. Luo Tianbao was an old acquaintance of him, so when he saw this, he hurried forward to help.

Seeing this, the Xia Shu sisters couldn't sit still.

"Young Marshal, you can just leave this kind of thing to us sisters, why don't you need it?" The Shu sisters asked Luo and Ding to take their seats, and they went down to work. Ding Gui couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw this.

"Tianbao, who are these two girls?"

"He is my subordinate."

"Oh, I heard about it too. Tianbao, you are now a prosperous person. Unlike people like us, you are destined to be poor all your life."

"Fourth brother, don't say that. Don't you still have such a small courtyard? In the past, who in our escort agency could have such a courtyard? It was too late for everyone to envy you."

"Hey, this yard is not mine, I rented it. The capital has not been peaceful in the past two years, so the rent is low. Otherwise, how can we afford to live here?"

"I see, by the way, who was the child just now?"

"That's my grandson, whose nickname is Ding Bao'er."

"Your grandson... I remember that this child was less than one year old when I left, but he has grown so big now?"

"Who says it's not the case? You've been gone for nearly three years, and many things have changed."

"What about his father, Xiao Xizi?"

"I went out to work. Isn't the capital now undergoing major renovations? He is helping at the construction site right now. Otherwise, what would our three generations of grandparents have to eat? In fact, if it weren't for taking care of Xiaobao, I would also go out to find work."

"What about my fourth sister-in-law and Xiaobao?" Luo Tianbao just asked casually. Unexpectedly, Ding Gui's expression changed after hearing this. Luo Tianbao noticed that something was wrong.

"What's going to happen to them?"

"Oh, I didn't want to mention these things originally, but Tianbao, you are not an outsider, so I'll tell you the truth. Your fourth sister-in-law and Xiaobao'er are both gone."

"How? When did it happen?"

"This is a long story. Not long after you left, the rebels began to storm Xiaguan. The chief escort felt that it was not safe here in the capital, so he took everyone to Longzhou to take shelter for a while. I was originally going to follow.

Go, but your fourth sister-in-law, Lao Han, has a leg problem and can't walk. In addition, Xiaobao was also young at the time, so it was very inconvenient to take him to escape. I was a little lucky at that time, thinking that the capital might not be the best place.

It was so easy to lose, so I didn't leave in the end. Now that I think about it, if it hadn't been like this, your fourth sister-in-law and the others might not have died." Ding Gui couldn't help wiping his tears when he said this, and paused for a while before continuing.

"Later the rebels took over the capital, and Xiaoxi and I made a living by carrying work for others. Although life was a little tight, it was still peaceful. But one day Xiaobao went out to buy groceries and met several rebels.

When a group of bastards saw how beautiful Xiaobao's mother was, they wanted to force her to be rude. What the hell did Xiaobao do? She resisted with all her strength, but in the end, a rebel got angry and pushed her. This child is also suffering.

, he hit his head on a stone and died on the spot. By the time we arrived, everyone was almost freezing."

"Your fourth sister-in-law was originally not well-behaved, and because of this incident she became so angry that she fell ill. She passed away last winter, leaving only us and the three of us struggling to survive. To be honest,

If I didn't feel sorry for this child, Xiaobao, I wouldn't want to live. What was a good family has turned out to be like this." Ding Gui couldn't hold it back when he said this, and burst into tears. Everyone present felt uncomfortable when they saw this,

In fact, this is not only Ding Gui's family, the people of the capital have suffered a lot during the two years that the rebels have occupied it.

Luo Tianbao felt somewhat guilty when he thought that the rebel army was now in close contact with the rebels. He felt that it was difficult to face Ding Gui, so he immediately comforted him. After all, Ding Gui was also a warrior, and his willpower was considered among ordinary people.

I was relatively strong, and after crying for a while, my emotions finally calmed down.

"Forget it, forget it, don't mention these sad things, Tianbao tell you, how have you been in the past few years?"

"Well, actually, that's all..." Luo Tianbao briefly told his experience in the past few years. Of course, many of the grudges and resentments in it were mentioned in one sentence without going into details. Even so, Ding Gui still

Extremely surprised.

"So Tianbao, you come to the capital this time to accept the emperor's appointment?"

"Absolutely." Luo Tianbao said a little embarrassed.

"Okay...you are really promising this time. When I was in the escort agency, I felt that my brother would be good in the future. If the chief escort had recruited you as his son-in-law, I'm afraid things would be different now."

Luo Tianbao became nervous when he heard this. Ding Gui was quite close to him back then, and he knew everything about him and the Gao sisters. He was embarrassed to say it in public, and it would not be good for Dong Yan to hear it.

, so he quickly changed the topic: "Stop talking about this, fourth brother, do you know where the chief escort and the others are now?"

"I know, just last winter, before your fourth sister-in-law left, Wen Tieniu from our bodyguard agency came to visit me. He originally went to Longzhou with the chief bodyguard and the others, but then he kept writing letters from his hometown.

Urging him to go back to Songzhou, he had no choice but to leave everyone. He happened to be passing by the capital and came to see us acquaintances. He said that the people from the escort agency have now settled down in Longzhou, but they can't do business for the time being. Everyone is a little agitated.

After being drafted into the army, some of them stayed in the local area to make a living, and their lives were more or less sustainable. The chief escort also took good care of everyone and helped everyone who encountered difficulties. He now owns a hundred acres of land in Longzhou and a

With my previous savings, life is still stable, but I just miss us old guys and our two daughters."

"Two daughters? I know Xiaoyue went to Xiangzhou with her husband's family. Why, Xiaolu is not with him anymore?" Luo Tianbao couldn't help but wonder after hearing this.

"You don't know yet? Xiaolu is also married. She is married to Doctor Guo, the military governor of Longzhou, and is now serving as a concubine. Now I heard that she is fighting with the rebels in Jinzhou with Doctor Guo, and is no longer with the chief escort and the others."

"Xiao Lu is not old yet, why are you in such a hurry to get married? And I remember that Dr. Guo is not too young this year. Is Xiao Lu suitable for him?"

"Hey, it's not just young. Dr. Guo is already fifty this year and is older than our chief bodyguard. Don't you understand what's going on here? This marriage was not brought up by the chief bodyguard and his family, but by Guo

By chance, the doctor fell in love with Xiaolu and insisted on marrying her as his concubine. This man now has a heavy army and is the same as the Tu Emperor in Longzhou. If he proposes to you, do you think the chief escort dares to agree? Then will you still stay in Longzhou from now on?

? So in the end, she gritted her teeth and agreed to the marriage. I heard that Xiaolu cried so many times over this matter that she almost committed suicide. In the end, everyone persuaded her hard before she gave up the idea. In fact, in the girl's heart

I’ve been pretending to be you.”

Luo Tianbao was quite sad when he heard it at first, but he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the last sentence: "Fourth brother, where did you start with these words?"
