Three days later, five thousand Xiliang elite cavalry roared in to welcome the aunt and nephew of the guard chief Ying back to the camp to gather together.
Originally, he still had the last trace of fantasy in his heart, but when he saw the leader of these five thousand elite soldiers, a captain who called himself Cai Qingzhi, dressed in plain clothes, came to the court to pay homage, Wei Changying understood everything - Shen Bo was defeated by Pei Yu and others No one knows about the private execution. Since they are not keeping filial piety for the emperor, who else in the world besides Shen Xuan is qualified to accept the Xiliang army's plain clothes
This is nothing more than proof of what he said on the day he applied for the Expo, or at least part of what he said, and it is definitely not nonsense.
Wei Changying felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant!
She clutched her sleeve tightly and remained silent for ten breaths before letting Cai Qingzhi stand up and asked in a low voice: "Are they... all okay?"
She asked cautiously, but Cai Qingzhi answered even more cautiously. He said in a tone where almost every word was carefully considered: "In reply to the Third Young Madam, the Third Young Master and the others... are all fine, but the Second Young Master was seriously injured. The second grandson was frightened... The young master asked the doctor to prescribe a calming decoction, but... the second grandson seemed to have been sleeping these past few days... not very well... so... the young master also hopes that the third young lady will go back and be able to... be able to take care of the second grandson. Young Master.”
As a mother, Wei Changying was sensitive to the fact that he did not mention her second son. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and her voice changed slightly: "Guang'er was frightened. What about... Xie'er?"
"Young Master Fourth Grandson..." Cai Qingzhi looked at the floor tiles not far away and said cautiously, "Young Master Fourth Grandson... has caught some wind chill."
"Just caught the wind and cold?" Wei Changying murmured, and his heart gradually sank: If it was such an understatement, why did Cai Qingzhi not mention it at first, but only answered when he asked
Is this perfunctory
But why did Cai Qingzhi treat himself so badly? Could it be that... Wei Changying pinched his palm hard and cut off his thoughts.
In any case, she hasn't arrived at the Xiliang Army's camp yet.
She has yet to see her two children in person.
Maybe what Cai Qingzhi said is true
Why bother thinking about the bad news? Why believe those bad news? !
There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice. Wei Changying tried his best to think of other things, such as: "In that case, let's set off. By the way, Jing'er is sick, so you guys are walking slowly on the way back. some."
Cai Qingzhi responded cautiously and said: "The Rong people have disappeared thirty miles away from the imperial capital, and so have the bandits. Before the official came, the Third Young Master had an order, and everything must be obeyed by the Young Madam."
"You go down, I'll ask Jing'er to go out together." Wei Changying took a deep breath and said.
After waving Cai Qingzhi away, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie..." As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that whether it was He who had been with her since she was a baby and was loyal and considerate to her wholeheartedly; Huang, who was always by her side when she needed her most, was living in the imperial capital, and now she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
For many years, the confidants who have surrounded me before and after me, after this disaster, all that is left is the Yan Ge who has not recovered yet... Those who are loyal, smart and capable, or as young and beautiful as flowers...
That day we parted ways in the imperial capital, although we made an appointment to meet each other.
But how much eternal farewell is it
At this moment, her heart felt like it was fried, and no one around her who had developed a tacit understanding with her for many years could considerately send condolences or offer timely words of condolence.
After all, Shi Maner and others were young, and they had never thought of having the opportunity to serve the legitimate daughter of the Yue sect. Even though Shi Lin was smart and hurriedly gave instructions, it was not as expected. At this time, he knew clearly that Wei Changying was worried, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing. He just watched his nose and his heart, and stood obediently, but he did not dare to say anything.
Therefore, Wei Changying could only swallow the sadness and fear at this moment. She bit her lip hard, stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said lightly: "Come with me to see Jing'er."
In the backyard, Shen Shujing was lifted up by Shi Li'er and Shi Qing'er, who washed and changed her clothes.
Under the severe filial piety, her face and clothes were almost the same color.
This poor girl has become alarmingly haggard in just a few days...
Now, if it weren't for Shi Lier's strength, he wouldn't even be able to rest on the hidden bag.
Seeing her aunt come in, Shen Shujing's eyes shone a little, and she said anxiously: "Third aunt! Grandpa and the others?" Although she seemed to have some strength in her anxiety, her voice was soft and fluttering, revealing weakness.
"We have almost met your third uncle." Wei Changying calmly stepped forward to straighten her clothes and said in a friendly voice, "They are waiting for us now. Guang'er and Xie'er don't seem to be in good health, we have to hurry up After all, there are no women in the camp, so how can the guards take care of the children?"
As expected, Shen Shujing was attracted by her two cousins. She didn't notice the ambiguity in her aunt's first sentence and asked nervously: "What's wrong with the second brother and the fourth brother?"
"Guang'er was frightened, and Xie'er caught the cold, alas!" Wei Changying sighed, revealing Shi Man'er behind him - Shi Man'er was holding a bowl of steaming soup in his hand, "Not to mention these Come on, we have to get in the car and drive quickly. It will take us four to five days to travel the distance of less than two hundred miles. The doctor said that if you ride like this now, you may get motion sickness and you will vomit badly. But Loss of physical strength. So, good boy, just drink this soothing soup and sleep for a few days before your aunt wakes you up, okay?"
Because she was concerned about her son, Shen Shujing thought that her aunt was eager to go back to see her son, fearing that she would get car sick and delay her trip. She was a considerate and tolerant lady, so she naturally would not refuse. She took the medicine obediently and drank it in one gulp.
Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing the dark long eyelashes on his niece's pale face, Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said to Shi Lier and Shi Qing'er who were serving his niece: "Take good care of Jing'er and don't let her see the plain soldiers outside the car!"
Shi Li'er and Shi Qing'er shuddered and said together: "Yes!"
"...Pack your things and let's go." Wei Changying whispered.
The carriages and horses rustle.
Deng Zongqi stood in front of the door, tiptoeing and watching the team go away. In the long queue, the carriage was quickly overwhelmed by the crowd.
The last thing he saw was Wei Changying's farewell salute before getting into the car... Black temple hair, pale and delicate skin, a few strands of broken hair falling down, brushing against his earlobes... Wei Changying looked like that without beading. Pure and charming...
But pressing down on the miserable weakness like that, for no reason, aroused the deepest throbbing and pity in his heart. If it weren't for Pei Yu, who had been watching coldly by his side and coughing in warning from time to time. For a moment, he almost reached out his hand and tried to stroke her hair for comfort...
But he finally just stood there, motionless to the point of being almost stiff. He heard himself say politely and tiredly: "Sister-in-law Wei, you have a safe trip. I see Brother Yaoye, please tell me..."
The etiquette he had been taught since childhood allowed him to say goodbye to his beloved woman in a calm and orderly manner even if he was absent-minded.
But the emotions in his chest could not be calmed down—
It was not just Wei Zhang Ying who noticed that everyone in the Xiliang army was in plain clothes.
Shen Xuan is definitely gone.
Everyone who heard Shen Bo's words that day thought of his words: Rong people can distinguish people by their horses, and archers who gather together to kill the important people of the Wei Dynasty...
Even Gu Rouzhang, who was usually the least cheerful and cheerful person, was so horrified that he burst into tears after seeing the Xiliang army.
Shen Zangfeng returned to Xiliang in person to mobilize troops, so he must be fine.
But he and Wei Changying's two legitimate sons were said to have broken out of the encirclement with Shen Xuan and his party.
The eldest of the two children was only six years old, so he must be held by a dead soldier or an elder. It can be said that life and death are in the hands of others... On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyesight. Even Shen Xuan, the leader of the Shen family who must be heavily protected, has encountered mishaps. If such two young children are considered to be a burden, And discarding... is not impossible, because Shen Zangfeng and his wife are still young and the children are small. Of course, they are not as important as their grandfathers and uncles who are still in their prime and can take charge of the overall situation, or their uncles who are still young and can go into battle...
Chang Ying should be worried about them... Deng Zongqi thought sadly that this might be the last time he saw Wei Changying with his own eyes.
Because it was not just Shen Zangfeng who noticed and implicitly reminded him.
This time, in order to save Wei Changying, he did not hesitate to reveal his feelings in front of people like Pei Yu, Gu Rouzhang, and Gu Xinian.
With these people watching, even if he had the chance to meet Wei Zhangying again in the future, he would have to refuse.
Otherwise, not only Pei Yu would find him directly in private to question him like last time. Even Wei Changying's reputation will be affected...
The last Xiliang soldier disappeared from sight. Mo Binwei stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Mr. Deng, the days are long, and we must meet someday. Let's go back. I just came to report to the horse. About today In the evening, the front army of the Qingzhou Army will arrive here... The general of the front army is the fifth son of the Su family, and he is also familiar with Mr. Deng. "
Is Su Yuwu coming
Deng Zongqi calmed down, and while exchanging pleasantries with Mo Binwei, he frowned and thought: What kind of excuse should he find to round up Pei Yu's casual remarks to separate himself from Wei Changying, and not let Su Yuwu Suspicious
Although the four or five days seemed extremely long to those who were eager to know the specific news about the imperial capital. However, no matter how long the time is, there will be an end.
At dusk, they entered Yuzhu Town.
This is a small town in Gyeonggi Province.
Because of the terrain and geography, it was now conquered by the Xiliang army as the location of the Chinese military tent.
The most luxurious and comfortable house in town, it is unknown who lived in it in the past. But after the Xiliang Army arrived here, Shen Zangfeng's bodyguard threw a silver note, and within half an hour the place was vacated and cleared out, and Shen Lianshi and other important wounded people were placed there.
Now everyone came and headed straight here.
Shen Zangfeng did not wait for them at the door. Cai Qingzhi carefully explained through the car curtain that it was because he was too busy.
"Now is an emergency, why do you need these false gifts?" Gu Rouzhang said impatiently, "Besides, who doesn't know that Shen Yaoye loves Sister Wei very much. If he can come to pick her up, he will definitely come... Don't be wordy, just drive in, we will Go find someone quickly and ask for details!”
Cai Qingzhi hurriedly said: "Yes!"
After entering the house and getting off the carriage, I saw Shen Die, who had arrived late with a tired look, and apologized in a hoarse voice: "Young Master is busy with business, so I sent the younger one to greet the Young Madam, all distinguished guests and the eldest grandson, but just now the Second Young Master was a little agitated. No, the doctor didn't dare to make the decision, so he asked the young man to come over and have a look."
"How is the second brother doing now?" Wei Changying's hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly: Shen Zangfeng didn't greet him at the town capital, didn't wait at the door, and even now he entered the house and got off the car, he still didn't show up. …
Is he really so busy, or is he... so unwilling to bear it... that he doesn't even dare to come and see him
What is he afraid of? What are you hiding from? Why are you hiding? !
"Second Young Master has a severe fever." Shen Die said softly, "Originally when we set off, Young Master asked Divine Doctor Ji to come after us. But now that the snow has not melted away, I think it will be difficult to walk on the road. Doctor Ji is afraid that he will have to go through it again. It will take a few days to..."
Looking at his cautious and careful expression, and looking at the sparse and sparse figures around him, Wei Changying suddenly felt that there was no way she could hold it back any longer - she clenched her fists hard and asked word by word: "So, I "My son Shuxie, the wind is cold... are you okay?"
