There was a brief silence on Shen Tang's side.
Based on her understanding of Zhao Feng, he would never trouble another person for something he could handle, let alone ask the leaders of other forces for help. What would his serious master Wu Xian think? It took him half his life's courage to ask her this.
Chen Tang agreed readily.
"Whatever you need me to do, just speak up."
"Whatever I can do, I will do it!"
Her promise carries a lot of weight.
When Zhao Feng was still working under her, Chen Tang had intended to recruit him, but his loyalty to Wu Xian had never wavered, and he had never thought that it would come to this. Now that she has the upper hand, even if she is happy in her heart, her character cannot be ruined!
He had to persuade Zhao Feng with gentle words.
"But this should not be done by Brother Zhaode."
It's obvious that it couldn't be Wu Xian.
Zhao Feng did put him in an awkward situation, but his behavior did not constitute betrayal. If Wu Xian was really unhappy, the worst that could happen was that Zhao Feng would be left on the bench forever. There was no need to send troops to surround his old house, let alone almost kill Zhao Feng's two sons.
If Wu Xian really wanted to mess around like this, he would have died long ago!
No matter how bizarre a person's behavior is, it ultimately comes down to their own interests. What good would Wu Xian get out of messing with Zhao Feng's family at this critical moment? Not only would it not bring any benefit, it would also force Zhao Feng to rebel.
Chen Tang repeated: "It can't be Brother Zhaode."
Even Chen Tang, an outsider, knew such a simple truth, and Zhao Feng had followed Wu Xian for so many years, how could he not know it
The more this happened, the more she wanted to defend Wu Xian.
"Feng also knows that this is not what Lord Wu meant, but..." Zhao Feng smiled bitterly, and swallowed the rest of his words as if he had thought of something, "... It's just that some things involve Lord Wu's family affairs. Zhao doesn't want anything else now, he just wants his family to be safe and sound. Then it may trouble Lord Shen..."
There is no need to explain it too clearly, both of us know it clearly.
Chen Tang nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
She asked again: "Wait until this war is over or..."
After hearing Chen Tang's affirmative reply, Zhao Feng's hanging heart finally settled down: "Let's wait until the war is over. If we make it clear to Lord Wu now, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, and it will not be good for Lord Chen." When the two families formed an alliance, it was not appropriate to tear each other apart because of him.
Privately asking Chen Tang to come forward has already put her in a difficult position, how could she be ungrateful and indirectly put her in danger
He said: "The affairs of Zhao's family are not urgent, but there are a few people who need to trouble Shen Jun to take action now..."
Chen Tang didn't even ask about the other party's identity, and agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the message as fast as possible."
She didn't ask, but Zhao Feng's eyes turned slightly red.
"Mr. Shen, why don't you ask who those people are?"
"I believe in justice." From what Zhao Feng said, his family was not in danger for the time being. When the war was over, Zhao Feng asked Wu Xian to leave, and Wu Xian couldn't stop him. If Chen Tang was willing to take him in, Wu Xian would give him some face. This matter was good for Chen Tang, so there was no need to use the word "beg". Zhao Feng probably said this for those people.
As expected—
Zhao Feng said in a hoarse voice: "It's my poor brother."
To be more precise, he is the youngest of his brothers.
"… The reason why I have become so estranged from Lord Wu is because of his death. Lord Wu dragged his feet and refused to give justice. If I don't help him get revenge, I'm afraid he won't rest in peace in his grave. I just never thought they would do things so decisively!"
Chen Tang quietly played the role of a listener.
As Zhao Feng confessed, she finally understood the whole story.
Although the enemies killed by Zhao Feng had a large network of connections, no matter how stupid they were, they did not dare to attack Zhao Feng or his family directly. After all, if Zhao Feng was really provoked, he would go on a killing spree without regard for anyone, who would bear the loss
Not to mention that Zhao Feng was hit by a military stick and his back was covered in blood. If he was not a brave and strong warrior, he would have died long ago.
On the surface, this matter has already been exposed.
No one can use this as an excuse to cause trouble again!
Haha, they can't do anything to Zhao Feng, but what about the family of Zhao Feng's adjutant, the source of everything? He is just an official beside Zhao Feng, of humble origin, and his talent is not comparable to Zhao Feng's. When the pillar of the family dies, the remaining old and weak have no one to protect them.
Rub it however you want.
Could Zhao Feng go crazy again because of a few old and weak people
He immediately sent people to wipe out the family, but he didn't expect that the daughter-in-law of the official sprained her ankle when she was about to give birth. The family sent her to the clinic for treatment, but they missed it. When he came back, he found that the things in his house were chopped into a mess. He was so scared that his soul was about to fly away. He fled to Zhao Feng's old house for shelter at night. So he led troops to surround the old house, frightened the youngest son to fall ill, and the eldest son wanted to go out for medical treatment but was seriously injured.
They don't want to fall out either.
They found a lame excuse that the family heirloom was stolen and asked Mrs. Zhao Feng to hand over the thief. As long as she didn't hand it over, they would surround the old house. There was no guarantee that other uncontrollable accidents would not happen in the old house! Let's see who can survive!
Mrs. Zhao Feng had a strong temper, so naturally she would not agree.
But our arms cannot twist our thighs.
She was also afraid that the other party would really do something desperate.
Helplessly, she could only take the opportunity of the doctor visiting her son to secretly spread the news. People outside were also wary of her trick and checked very strictly. Fortunately, she succeeded and contacted Xu Jie, who then passed the message to Zhao Feng.
When Zhao Feng saw the letter from home, he gave up his last thoughts.
There was no way he would not protect his brother's family.
Before he approached Chen Tang, he also thought about looking for Wu Xian, as a way to give each other a last chance, but he quickly gave up the idea. Tianhai still had Wu Xian's confidants, did the confidants pass the news to Wu Xian? And why did they allow the farce to happen
Coupled with the complicated interpersonal relationships and in-law relationships between the families in Tianhai, Zhao Feng was so confused that his brain was about to explode. He was afraid that Wu Xian would take action, which would intensify the conflict and kill the officials and their families. Zhao Feng couldn't afford to gamble, so he went to Chen Tang.
Human life is at stake, so Chen Tang takes direct action.
It’s a big one every time!
Of course, she didn't ask Gong Xichou to do this.
This time it was Yun Ce who took over. Yun Ce's Wudan Totem gave him a natural advantage when traveling, and he was a new face in Tianhai. He was quite strong and could fight, run, and fly. Chen Tang asked, "Is Yuan Mou willing to make this trip?"
After hearing the whole story, Yun Ce did not hesitate.
He said, "I am willing to go!"
He could not stand the evil of bullying the weak, and he sympathized with the fate of his subordinate's family and admired Zhao Feng's great righteousness.
I have no complaints about this trip.
Chen Tang also wrote a personal letter for Yun Ce to take with him. After he picked up the person, he could use this letter to ask Xu Wenzhu to help send the person away safely. After that, he could return to the front line. Maybe he could even catch up and beat up Huang Lie's troops.
Yun Ce clasped his fists and said, "I will be back soon."
I went to the logistics department to get some dry food and set off immediately.
Zhao Feng came to see his daughter and returned without staying for long. Wu Xian sent someone to check on Zhao Wei's injury. If it was an hour ago, he might have been touched by Wu Xian's kindness, but now he reacted coldly.
Wu Xian didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, his daughter's life was in danger, so how could his old father be in the mood to be nice to her? He thought about it and realized that he had been too distant from Qin Li's people recently. Even if he didn't plan to use them again in the future, he couldn't leave them alone. So he ordered his guards to pick out some effective medicine from his private storehouse and send it to Zhao Wei. Regardless of whether his life could be saved, at least he had to save face.
When Zhao Feng heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He returned to the tent and just as he lifted the curtain, he was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes. Before he even took a step, he was dragged inside with great force.
"How's Dawei?"
"I heard that Dawei was seriously injured?"
"Old Zhao, how is our daughter?"
"Oh, you're always dithering. It really drives me crazy. Are you still Dawei's father?" All I could hear was chatter.
Zhao Feng saw the haggard Qin Li and asked: "Who alarmed you? Don't you know that you urgently need to rest now?"
Qin Li's dark circles under his eyes are very obvious.
After the battle on the front line ended, he collected the scribe's way and went back to his tent to sleep. Not long after he fell into a deep sleep, there was a noise outside the tent. When he woke up, he received a piece of bad news that almost made his heart stop! A group of people were waiting for news here.
Qin Li asked calmly, "How is Dawei?"
Zhao Feng said: "It's okay."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Zhao Feng sent them all away and told them not to crowd in here. Don’t they have their own tents
Qin Li was difficult to dismiss because he knew Zhao Feng too well.
"What happened?"
He raised his hand under the tent cloth to block out the eavesdropping words.
Zhao Feng curled his lips: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
There is nothing to hide from Qin Li.
Qin Li's forehead veins could not help but emerge, and his already tired eyes twitched frequently. An unspeakable pain came from the depths of his mind. He held his forehead with a pale face, and Zhao Feng comforted him: "Mr. Chen has agreed to help."
Qin Li took several deep breaths before he recovered and said, "You did the right thing. I was careless before."
The implication is that he approves of Zhao Feng's choice.
Zhao Feng laughed at himself, "Even if we are careful, what's the use? They are always arrogant and will kill whoever they want. As long as they are still under the rule of Lord Wu, how can they escape the revenge of this gang? This time they are lucky, they can still find some protection from the lady, and they will not be wiped out overnight... If they are sent somewhere else and found..."
By then, it will really be out of reach.
Qin Li rubbed his forehead. For the first time, he thought, "Why haven't Huang Xiguang and his men come over yet?" The sooner the battle is over, the sooner it will be over and the sooner it will be back home. Staying at the front line means you can't take care of the rear. Even Qin Li feels that this is too passive...
But the reality is disappointing.
The sneak attacking troops were ambushed by Chen Tang. Huang Xiguang was much more cautious and no one knew what he was planning behind the scenes.
On the other side, Yun Ce rushed to Tianhai as fast as possible.
He flew arrogantly all the way until he entered the territory of Tianhai.
Zhao Feng’s old house is easy to find.
His old house was surrounded for several days, and the people of Tianhai were discussing the matter secretly. There were all kinds of rumors, some saying that Zhao Feng's house was hiding a thief, some saying that Zhao Feng surrendered to the enemy on the front line and implicated his family, and some saying that Zhao Feng was killed in battle.
Yun Ce disguised himself and hid in the crowd.
Secretly observed the position of the guards outside Zhao Feng's house.
Most of these guards were dressed as household guards, among them there were seven or eight low-ranking officials and second-class superiors, and the rest were ordinary people with sturdy bodies, muscular bodies, and bright eyes. Yun Ce knew at a glance that these people had been on the battlefield and had killed people. They would be considered the elite among the elites if they were on the front line. But now they were guarding someone's house, which was ironic.
It was already dusk.
Yun Ce waited for dark and replenished some dry food.
Zhao Feng’s house was not very big, and Yun Ce could just climb over the wall. As soon as he landed on the ground, he saw the mourning banners under the eaves.
He was shocked. Is there a funeral at home
Could it be that General Zhao’s two sons didn’t survive
Sneaking into the mourning hall, he saw three coffins placed there, and a woman was guarding the place burning yellow paper. Yun Ce guessed the identity of the coffin owner, and an old servant brought soup: "Madam, you should have some, don't overwork yourself..."
The woman had obviously been crying for a long time and her voice was hoarse.
"Take it away. I don't have much appetite."
Yun Ce deliberately made a noise, which frightened the two people below, and the woman even drew out her long sword.
He said sternly, "Who is it? Get out!"
"Madam, don't panic. Yun has no ill intentions."
Yun Ce jumped down from the beam, landing gracefully like a white feather. The young man's handsome face brightened the dark mourning hall for a moment. Perhaps because he looked too decent, the woman let down her guard a little and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Yun Ce, and I have a long history with General Zhao."
Yun Ce did not fly the banner of Chen Tang.
In this matter, the smaller the lord's presence is, the better.
The woman suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Is there any evidence?"
evidence
Yunce really does have it, but it was not given by Zhao Feng.
He took out the token that he had specifically asked Zhao Wei for from his arms.
The woman looked at the token, then at Yun Ce, as if she wanted to say something, but Yun Ce could not hide the satisfaction and trust in her eyes: "To make a long story short, I am here to pick him up. General Zhao has entrusted me to take him out of the mansion..."
"No, you don't need to bring it."
"No need? Has the person escaped?"
Although it was a wasted trip, it's still good news.
Before Yun Ce could even smile, the woman pointed at the three coffins in the mourning hall and choked up, "The funeral will be held tomorrow and carried out through the main gate in an open and aboveboard manner. Thank you, Mr. Yun, for your help..."
This answer made Yun Ce’s eyes widen in anger.
"The three coffins contain..."
Is it that poor family
The woman nodded sadly, holding back her collapse, and whispered, "It's too late... It's been seven days too late..."
On the evening of the next day, after she had tried every means to spread the news, the woman went into labor. Because there was no midwife at home and no doctor could be hired, they had to do it themselves. However, the woman was frightened and the fetus was in an abnormal position in her abdomen, with both legs pointing downwards...
Anyone with a little experience would know that this baby could not be born. If there were experienced midwives and doctors, they might be able to turn the baby back to the normal position. This time, the guards did not stop them.
only-
You guys try and see if you can invite them!
The medical clinics in Tianhai were closed, and there was no famous midwife to be found. What was there to understand about this situation? They were planning to force the pregnant woman to death, killing two people with one corpse!
I can't take it anymore, sister-in-law - please, this child must survive, please cut open my stomach!
