"Didn't you ask someone to take Ge Weng and Xiao Ping'an to Yangjing?"

Zhang Cuihua asked with a surprised look on her face.

Su Ping's back suddenly froze in place, slowly turned around, and asked word by word: "What did you say?"

"Forehead……"

Zhang Cuihua took half a step back and her voice became softer: "Don't you know? A group of people came not long ago and picked up Ge Weng and Xiaopingan on horseback."

For some reason, Zhang Cuihua always felt that the boy next door who was friendly just now suddenly became a little scary.

"It seems that you invited me here. I don't know the details. Muramasa invited me here. You can ask him when he comes back."

Zhang Cuihua added another sentence.

Invited by myself...

When did you send someone to pick up Ge Weng?

Could it be...

No, we cannot jump to conclusions easily.

Su Ping held a trace of luck in his heart and hurriedly rushed to Ge Yuan's house.

"Su Ping!"

Zhang Cuihua's call suddenly came from behind.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything else going on?"

Su Ping took a breath, barely controlled his facial expression, turned around, and asked with a smile.

By this time, Zhang Cuihua had already noticed something was wrong from Su Ping's abnormal reaction.

She gritted her teeth and said:

"Otherwise, don't go. We in Xiaohe Village will have enough food for you."

After a moment of silence, Su Ping nodded.

Zhang Cuihua watched Su Ping leave, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably distressed.

It can be said that she is the person who knows Su Ping best in the entire Xiaohe Village.

She watched Su Ping grow up, watched Su Ping lose his mother overnight and become sensible overnight.

Not to mention treating him as her own, at least to her, Su Ping was not much different from her younger brother.

But this time when Su Ping came back, she felt a little strange due to the huge changes.

Although he was equally polite and courteous, he always felt that something was wrong.

There seemed to be a lot more in those eyes.

"Why……"

Zhang Cuihua shook her head and turned back to the house, "People have to grow up."

the other side.

Su Ping quickly climbed over the hillside and arrived in front of Ge Yuanwai's house.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual, except that the doors to the yard and house were locked.

Su Ping had a sullen face, and with the instillation of talent, he violently opened the two door locks in succession.

The house was tidy, which made him feel relieved.

At least, it doesn't look like he was kidnapped by force.

Maybe Zhang Cuihua heard it wrong.

However, a piece of white paper lay quietly on the confession table of Zhongyuan Sheng's statue, which caught Su Ping's attention.

Su Ping's heart tightened, and he walked over and unfolded the paper.

The next moment, the paper was shattered by violent force.

There was only a very brief sentence on it.

【You know where to find them】

"Dingguo Duke's Mansion!"

Su Pingping felt like frost, and squeezed out four words from between his teeth.

Although there are no names of people or places on the note.

But he was almost certain that it must have been left by someone from the Dingguo Palace!

Su Ping's reason reached the critical point of collapse in an instant, and his entire chest was filled with thick and violent murderous intent.

He had never imagined that the Duke's government would use Ge Weng's family to threaten him.

However, although Ge Weng and Ge Ping'an had a better relationship with him than other villagers, they did not have any blood relationship.

If we don't talk about morality, these two people are not even Su Ping's weaknesses.

Therefore, Su Ping didn't take it to heart.

And now...

This thing really happened.

Su Ping pursed his lips tightly, his teeth bleeding from biting them.

Through this incident, the Duke's government has shown its determination to defeat him.

But why?

Why are those people still unwilling to let me go even after Duke Dingguo dies?

This is completely different from what you imagined.

What is the wife of the crown prince planning so that she must use herself?

Time passes slowly.

Little by little, Su Ping gradually suppressed his anger and murderous intent.

As far as I am now, is anger useful?

Useless.

And there's a good chance it won't be used for a long time.

Xiaohe Village is here, so what if I go to exchange for Ge Weng and his son and come back?

It is absolutely impossible for these villagers to move elsewhere.

The Duke's Mansion doesn't even need to do anything else. Just knowing where Xiaohe Village is is enough to eat him to death.

Unless... give up Ge Weng, give up Ge Pingan, give up the entire Xiaohe Village...

Just like before, I chose to flee the Northland and abandon the people in the Northland who might face the barbarians...

Give up?

Su Ping staggered.

Suddenly, Zhang Cuihua's serious look flashed through her mind.

'Then why don't you leave? Our Xiaohe Village will not miss you a bite to eat.'

This sentence sounds very hypocritical.

But just such a hypocritical statement made Su Ping slowly straighten his back.

give up?

It's not impossible.

But this time I gave up.

I will get to know new people in the future.

New friends, new teachers, new neighbors.

Among these people, there will always be a few that you can't let go of.

Then what?

If you encounter this situation again, should you give up again?

At this moment.

Zhang Cuihua's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"The door is open. Su Ping must be inside. Muramasa, you must persuade him later..."

"The Duke of this country is definitely not a good person, he can force Su Ping to do this..."

While thinking about it, Xu Shan and Zhang Cuihua walked into the yard together, and just met Su Ping coming out of the house with a bright smile.
