"Yes, it is really open. I went to see it just now." Konggu replied affirmatively.
Wei Yang stood up shakily: "Let's go and take a look."
Konggu saw that the old general and the butler were drinking happily, so he didn't remind Weiyang, and the two of them left the flower hall together.
The general's mansion seemed quiet and empty at night. The evening breeze blew by, and after walking around, Weiyang's drunkenness faded slightly.
She walked into the garden and suddenly wanted to dance. She remembered that she seemed to have danced for Yan Gui on a snowy day, but that was a long time ago.
It’s a pity that Yan Gui is not here, who should I dance for
Wei Yang leaned on the painted red wooden railing by the lake and asked, "Konggu, when do you think the general will be back?"
Konggu thought for a while and said, "It will probably be in the next few days. The general is going to chase Nu Ce. He will definitely catch up with him in one or two days at most. Once he captures Nu Ce and returns to Xiongzhou Prefecture, the general should be back soon."
Wei Yang hesitated for a long time before saying, "Konggu, I'm scared. I don't know why, but I'm very scared."
Under the moonlight, two lines of tears rolled down Weiyang's cheeks.
"Madam, the general is so powerful, he will be fine. Do you want to go and see the camellia the general gave you? It's blooming beautifully."
Wei Yang looked at the flower room in the distance. There was a bright light on inside. The maid who was taking care of the flower room should still be waiting inside. "No, I won't go. Let's wait for the general to come back and see it together."
Watching Weiyang walking towards the yard, Konggu sighed helplessly. The girl and the lady were so worried. She was afraid that the general would not come back and the lady would fall ill first.
Otherwise, she would go back and help her madam to sleep, and then she would write a letter and ask someone to take it to Ding Wu to see if he could persuade the general to come back soon.
Konggu's letter was taken to Xiongzhou City, and the one who received the letter was not Ding Wu but Ding San. Of the five brothers of the Ding family, except Ding San who was recovering from his injuries and Ding Da who was helping in the city, the other three followed Yan Gui to chase Nu Ce. And Yan Gui had been chasing Nu Ce into the grassland for six days and had not returned yet.
Waves of spies were sent out, but there was no news, even Xiaoqing was nowhere to be found.
Ding San held the letter that Konggu wrote to Ding Wu and pondered for a long time. He was really troubled as to whether to reply or how to reply.
"Ding San, what are you looking at?"
Ding San was reading the letter over and over again, hesitating whether to reply or not, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear, scaring him so much that he shivered and the letter in his hand was snatched away.
"Ding Wu, when did you come back? Where's the general?"
Ding Wu took the letter and read it carefully, then folded it and put it in his arms: "The general and Xiaoqing went into the grassland, and we lost contact with him."
"What did you say?" Ding San looked at the dusty Ding Wu, and then looked at Ding Da who followed him in. "Is it just the general himself, or did Ding Er and Ding Si follow the general into the grassland?"
Among the five of them, Ding Si has the best martial arts, and Ding Er is the best scout. It would be better if they followed the general.
Ding Wu pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "Ding Er is injured, and Ding Si went to Yancheng."
Ding San was anxious. "Then why did you come back? You just left the general alone on the grassland?"
Ding Wu said helplessly, "It's not us who want to leave the general on the grassland. The general killed Nu Ce and asked us to bring Nu Ce's head back. He said he and Xiao Qing were going to the grassland to do something and we don't need to follow them."
On the vast grassland, Yan Gui fell on a raised grass slope. Xiao Bai flapped his wings and flew across the sky. He quickly caught a prey and flew towards the grass slope.
