Jingu never expected that his actions of helping Liu Ru would get a reply so quickly. But unfortunately not the reply he had imagined so far.
Initially Jingu thought Sima Feng would give him a gift once he said he was going to repay his wife's debt. The gift he thought of was money. But who would have guessed that the man gave her another gift instead.
" Dissolve this bandit village and start living like society in general. I will forgive you for all the evil you have done before. Not only that, I will also prepare jobs for the heads of the family. Hows it? "
Sima Feng's ultimatum made Jingu a dilemma, as if he was at a crossroads and had to choose which steps he should take.
Jingu really never expected that Sima Feng would find out the other identities of their village so quickly.
The village of bandits, where the bandits live where Jingu leads. But they are not violent bandits who rape or kill their victims. They would only steal and rob the caravans of the rich merchants who happened to pass by. Considering this, Sima Feng easily forgave them.
" When did you find out, Your Majesty? " Task Jingu curiously.
Sima Feng raised one eyebrow. He thought Jingu would dodge but who would have expected the man to admit it straight away.
" No matter how I find out. You better think about what choice you're gonna make. Think wisely as a leader. It is not forever that you will live safely if you continue to act as bandits. "
Sima Feng also added. " You know those rich merchants have money that can move government officials. Just wait until they find your hideout and flatten this village to the ground. "
Jingu didn't want to admit it, but everything Sima Feng said was true. All this time they lived on the run and always felt anxious. Afraid, if one day the officers come and exterminate them.
" I'll think about it. Whatever decision I choose will determine the fate of dozens of people here. "
" good. I'll give you time. Remember that! I didn't offer this opportunity twice. You know very well by letting go of you guys has made me cheat for going against the law. So I hope as a leader you'll be smart enough and not miss this opportunity. "
One more thing Sima Feng never did but he did now, turning a blind eye to the punishment he should have given Jingu and his group. Liu Ru's influence had completely changed her way of thinking.
After that short talk, Sima Feng went back inside the room to see the peaceful face of his wife who was focusing on reading Grandma Wu's medicine book.
Smiling, Sima Feng stroked the top of the woman's head.
Liu Ru smiled then closed the book for a moment. " How are you guys talking? did you offer him money? how much is that? "
Liu Ru was curious about the gift Sima Feng had given her. In her mind, her husband would give money to Jingu in return for helping her.
" Is that what you're thinking? it seems that you and Jingu have the same thoughts. Unfortunately that's not what I gave you. "
" Not money? so what do I give you? is there anything better than money. "
" You are this. " Sima Feng pinched slowly at Liu Ru's cheek.
" I gave him a better chance at life. At least in the future, Jingu and everyone can live a better and quiet life and be free from misgivings. "
Seeing his wife still silent with her confusion, Sima Feng was sure his wife still did not know the facts regarding Jingu and their village.
" Have it, don't think about it. I promise I'll finish everything and I'm sorry to get you through this. " Said lirih.
" What are you saying. It's not all your fault. We just lack communication. Let's make this all a lesson for the future. After all, it is not natural for married couples to fight. I'm sure the emperor and queen who loved each other must have fought. "
Reminded of her parents, Sima Feng chuckled. " As long as I live to be their son, I've never seen them argue at all. Every day I have to put up with their loving show. "
" No need to be envious. We can be like them too. "
Liu Ru nodded. " We'll both try. "
The woman then let out a rough sigh. Reminded of the family, made him think back of his son.
" I miss Xiao Yi. Can't you bring her here, my husband? "
Looking at his wife's expression, Sima Feng could feel the wife's longing for their son.
" all right. I'll bring her here with A Fei. They must be happy to meet you. "
Because his wife had been found, Sima Feng immediately wrote a letter to tell the good news to his brother and son. He asked Bingjie to give it to him and at once picked them up.
Sima Feng also received news from Ling He that Gu Xinzu had been captured as well as the former king of wei.
One by one the problems were finally solved as well.
******
Bingjie who received the important task immediately darted carrying Sima Feng's letter towards the inn where the two people who were the destination were staying.
" Uncle, you came alone? where's sister? " Sima Fei was astonished when she saw Bingjie coming alone.
After giving his regards, Bingjie took out Sima Feng's letter. " Daughter, my arrival to deliver a letter from the prince. "
Sima Fei quickly snatched and opened the letter. Sure enough if the letter contains the latest news about his brother-in-law.
" Uncle, is this really all. My sister found sister-in-law? " I cried after reading the letter in his hand.
Sima Fei was still unsure of the contents of Feng's letter, even so she fully wished that it was all true.
" Fright princess. Therefore the prince sent me to fetch you and the little prince. Please prepare yourself before you go there. "
" What prepares you. Let's go right now. "
Sima Fei did not care about the preparations. What in his mind at this moment was meeting with the brother-in-law. So after that, he told Xiao Yi the good news and immediately pulled the boy to go with him.
Bingjie brought the two to the bandit village where Sima Feng and Liu Ru were. During the trip, Bingjie also explained how Liu Ru's health was according to Sima Feng's orders.
" So, princess and little prince, the second prince said after you met wangfei, please don't interrupt his rest. "
It wasn't Sima Fei if he couldn't read the hidden intentions of his twin brother. With a sneering expression, Sima Fei said. " Ck, A Feng is really narrow-minded. He forbade us both from bothering him, but he did it himself. I'm sure he himself didn't budge at all from the side of brother-in-law. "
Bingjie grimaced hearing him, 'that's right' her inner self. However, what Sima Rui's favorite daughter said was very appropriate.
After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the bandit village.
As the three walked towards Grandma Wu's cottage. There was a pair of eyes that kept watching A Fei ever since he entered the bandit village. After making sure correctly and confidently, with a feeling of enthusiasm and impatience he immediately ran to tell the news to someone.
