Chapter 453: News from Inquiry

Mrs. Chen cried and said, "I told him not to let him go, but he insisted on going. It's a good thing, his life is gone."

“My third son is only sixteen years old. He has been gone for less than half a year and his body has not been found. Why is my third son so miserable—”

Gu Fei had no way to comfort her mother, so she went out and read the letter from the military. There was no information in it. It simply said that Sanlang died for the country while fighting the Nanzhao people.

There is no body and the specific cause of death is not known. How can people accept this?

Gu Fei got up and went back to his room. He sat in the room for a long time. He got up and wrote a letter. Then he took the letter out and handed it to Liu Zhu. "Go to the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion and find a boy named Laifu. Give this letter to him." Give it to him and let him pass it on to Brother Shitou."

Liu Zhu received the letter, drove the mule cart and headed for the city.

Ms. Chen was so sad that she lay in bed and couldn't get up.

Gu Fei slept at home all night and had nightmares for most of the night.

In the dream, Saburo was in a dark place, shackled all over his body, shouting, "Sister, help me—"

Gu Fei woke up from her dream in the middle of the night and cried for a while before falling asleep.

The next day, Gu Fei looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and a stone came over.

Gu Fei invited him to the hall to talk.

Shitou said: "I have found out what the girl asked me to inquire about in yesterday's letter."

"Two months ago, the barbarians from the Nanzhao Kingdom harassed the border. General Fuyuan led his troops to fight a battle with the barbarians. Although he won, in this battle, tens of thousands of people were killed, missing, and captured. ”

"General Fuyuan is quite considerate. All those who are missing or captured are declared dead in battle."

"Anyway, most of those who are missing and captured will not survive. If they are declared dead in battle, at least their families can get some pension money, otherwise they will have nothing."

"Besides, this money is not taken from the army, it is all paid by the court."

When Gu Fei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "So, the third brother is not necessarily dead?"

Shitou nodded and then shook his head, "Miss Gu, it's hard to say, but even if you're not dead, I'm afraid it's more likely to be a disaster."

Gu Fei had an idea in his mind, "I know."

She got up and sent the stone out. When she walked to the gate, she saw Gu Qing jumping out of a carriage.

He just received the letter from home last night, and hurriedly hired a carriage and drove back all night.

The brother and sister went into the house together. Chen held Gu Qing and cried for a while. Gu Qing came out with red eyes to discuss the funeral affairs of San Lang with Erlang Gu Fei.

With his father away at home, Gu Qing is the one who makes the decision.

There is no corpse here, so Gu Qing meant to just set up a tomb.

Gu Fei thought for a while, "Brother, let's not do this funeral for now. I can't believe that the third brother is just gone. He wants to see his body alive and his body after death."

"I've asked Brother Shitou to inquire. Tens of thousands of people died in this battle. Those who were missing and captured were all declared dead. I think maybe Third Brother is still alive."

“Maybe he’s missing, maybe he’s captured, it’s hard to say.”

"I plan to go to southern Xinjiang. Regardless of life or death, I will find my third brother back!"

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Nonsense, the southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away. How can you go to a girl's house? If you want to go, I will go too."

Gu Fei looked at him quietly, "Brother, aren't you going to study anymore?"

“Do you know how rare it is to get an admission spot at Qinglian Academy? If you go there, your studies that have finally improved will be wasted.”
