Chapter 55: Straight Ahead

She immediately refused.

I didn't expect that I would say the hint so clearly, but I was unceremoniously refused, and Aunt Fang was stunned.

But the aunt couldn't tolerate Wei Ji making such a mistake, and her old man had many ways to pinch her, plus Wei Yuan used his clear childish voice to shout "Second Sister", so the helpless Wei Jia handed over the jade pendant to Pei Rang, asking him to be fully responsible.

After receiving the jade pendant that was worth a lot of money and engraved with the word "Xuan", and then listening to her say the specific plan of action, she would at least ask someone else-what is going on with this jade pendant? But Pei Rang didn't say anything, nodded to show that he understood, put away the jade pendant and turned around and left.

It stands to reason that the entourage of this operation are all real people with lofty ideals, although they are still unknown, but in the memory of the guard, these people are all famous all over the world for adhering to the belief of sincerity and goodness, and even give up their lives for this reason.

So this matter is nine times out of ten, even if there is a deviation, it is also Wang Xuan's kid who suddenly regrets the debt, but watching Pei Rang gradually walk away, Wei Jian felt that his heart was hanging inexplicably, and he couldn't help but speak: "Brother-"

Pei Rang stopped and turned his head: "Huh?"

Wei Yin Yin advised: "Be careful in everything. ”

Pei Rang pursed his lips and smiled: "Hmm." "In an instant, it was as bright as a star.

Wei Ji watched Pei Rang walk out of the courtyard gate, and stood in place for a long time before returning to the west courtyard.

At that time, Yajia and Wei Yuan were both lying on the stone table, head to head, fiddling with the Kong Ming lock that Pei Rang gave her.

Seeing this scene, Wei Jian slowly stopped, leaned against the nearby tree with his arms around his chest, and couldn't help but think: In this life, in the isolated courtyard in the Langya Palace, can you often see such a picture - Yajia, who will never grow up, and Nuo'er, who is becoming more and more sensible, snuggle together to study the gadgets that children like......

However, Wei Jian didn't wander for too long, because Wei Yuan, who was always looking at the door, had already spotted her, dropped Kong Ming's lock and ran over, raised a smile and said crisply: "Second sister." ”

Wei Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to touch the top of his hair, and said softly: "Will you fight?"

Wei Yuan puffed out his cheeks and frowned: "I'm much younger than the third sister, she can't play well......"

Although Ya Jia's mind is stuck in childhood, her talent in some aspects is unmatched by Huan Yu and Wang Xuan, but Wei Yuan is born blunt, and even if he is an adult, he will not make much progress.

Waiting for Aunt Fang and Aunt Fang to leave one after another, Wei Yuan looked at Ya Jia, who was still fiddling with Kong Ming's lock there: "Second sister, I'll tell you a secret." ”

"What?"

Wei Yuan pulled Wei Ji lower, leaned on her ear, and whispered to her: "I actually don't want to be a marquis of ten thousand households like Wei Qing." ”

Wei Ji raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want to be?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, just don't be a marquis of Wanhu. ”

Wei Ji blinked: "That's it......"

Wei Yuan nodded heavily: "This is a secret that only the two of us know, don't tell SΓΉ Niang and Big Sister!"

"Why?"

Wei Yuan said indignantly: "Let them know, they will definitely say that I am useless." ”

"Well, I don't say. ”

Wei Yuan grinned: "It's really like what my father said, the second sister who is a disciple of Nangong is different from my mother and the eldest sister." ”

Wei Yu was stunned: Her father would say this kind of thing to Wei Yuan?

So on the morning of the originally scheduled "big day", Wei Jian accompanied his sister and younger brother, staring at the wood-carved sundial carried from elsewhere, and spent it neither fast nor slowly.

Recently, he suffered a big setback in catching birds, and finally regained his confidence in delivering news, and the dog hole was so slippery, it was almost catching up with the original Huan Yu, it kept going back and forth between the inner and outer courtyards, and finally brought back a strange old cloth bag after lunch.

Wei Jian untied it and saw that the handwriting on the old cloth strip contained in it was also something she had never seen before, but the content was worth rejoicing, saying that a box of jewels and a box of gold taken out of the Wang family had been escorted back to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying.

Despite his misgivings, Wei Jia wrote a note of gratitude and put it in an old cloth bag for Yudu to send back.

In the evening, Yudu took back a bag again, this time it was Pei Rang's, and there were a few smooth and round small stones in it, and in the pile of cloth prepared for him by Wei Ji, one of them was written on it, but the handwriting was still the same as before: Lang Jun, something may have happened to Pei Rang, I am waiting outside the west corner of the Wei Mansion now, hoping to meet and talk in detail.

After looking at it, Wei Jian only felt a sigh in his heart, how could he still sit still, and suddenly got up and walked into the house.

Wei Yuan, who was sitting next to her, hesitated: "Second sister?"

Wei Yu didn't stop, and said as he walked: "Ah Yuan, you play with the third sister, the second sister has something to do, and she must go out immediately." ”

Walked quickly to the door, slammed the door open, and made a bang, startling the aunt in the house: "Song?"

"Auntie, I'm in a bit of a hurry now and I have to rush out immediately, let's talk about it later!" Wei Ji said as he got into the bedroom, lifted the lid of the box and turned out the sword box, took out the Long Yuan sword and threw the sword box aside, grabbed the bag at the bottom of the box, didn't care about restoring the box to its original state, put on men's clothes and carried the sword out.

The aunt looked at Wei Ji's expression and vaguely felt something, but she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth several times, and finally after Wei Jia walked out of the room, she said, "Be careful!"

Wei Ji turned his head and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay." ”

But she was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, but was blocked by Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang didn't look at Wei Yan's expression, she just chattered vigorously: "Second girl, the eldest girl hasn't eaten since last night, and I'm sad again, crying that poor man, Sister Ruizhu has been persuading for a long time and hasn't persuaded her, or you just go over and take a look, she has always wanted to talk to you before, but the housemother didn't agree, but let her stay like this, she has to make trouble......"

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Ji raised his hand holding his sword and pulled her aside: "I can't die of hunger for three or two days, I still have serious things to do now, don't get in the way!"

Aunt Fang still wanted to continue lobbying, but when she saw the sword in the guard's hand, she was silent, and when the guard went to the stable, Aunt Fang quickly ran back to move the rescuers, because of the cheapness of the distance, Ruizhu, whose face was wrapped in a medicinal cloth, took seven or eight servants to intercept the guard.

Ruizhu, who had been taught a lesson, saw Wei Jian again, and nodded his head and flattered himself to the fullest: "Second girl, no matter what, you and the eldest girl are sisters who have broken bones and tendons, she has suffered such a big crime, why don't you take a look and say a few words between sisters!"

The distraught Wei Ji returned mercilessly: "Since you dare to gamble, you should be prepared to lose, and you should bear the trouble you broke through, how can you expect others to be responsible for your mistakes?"

Rui Zhu was choked by Wei Zhen's face red, and she must have to educate her a few words before she changed it, but now it is different from the past, so she can only smile and say: "What the second girl said is very true, very ......" and said: "The second girl is planning to leave the house, what do you want, just give an order, you really don't need to run in person!"

The guard on the horse condescended and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

Ruizhu's waist bowed even more: "Second girl, if you really don't want to see the eldest girl, then don't go, but in such a critical period, you can't leave the house, once the Wang family knows about it...... "There are many people, and she can only order until the end."

But Wei Jian didn't even say anything this time, and drove his horse straight away.

Ruizhu and the others saw that Wei Jian was really here, and they dodged in a hurry, you pushed me and I hit you, and finally fell into a mess, "Oops", "Mom" endlessly.

The guard didn't look back, so he galloped in the yard, and came all the way to the West Corner Gate, and saw a few people waiting outside the door and Pei Rang's horse, but he didn't see Pei Rang.

The young man who wrote her note was named Zu Que, who had been held up as filial piety but did not respond to the order, and his friend was extremely puzzled, and he replied with a smile: Good birds choose trees to perch!

Wei Jian turned over and dismounted, but he didn't care about being polite, and went straight in: "What about my brother and others?"

Zu frowned, and said bluntly: "It's gone!"

Wei Ji's face was bloody: "How could it be gone, did you leave the Wang family and go somewhere else?"

Zu Que shook his head: "No." "Don't wait for the guard to ask, take the initiative to speak:" At that time, I waited for Shun lΓ¬ to take out the property from the mast, drove out, and saw that I was about to walk out of the Wang family, but I don't know what Pei Xiaolang saw, immediately changed his face, and explained a few words, let us take the first step, he himself hurriedly turned back, I waited for the treasure chest, left and right and waited for Pei Xiaolang to come back, so I went here to ask, but the people in the house said that they did not see Pei Xiaolang come back, and we rushed to Wang's house, because Pei Xiaolang insisted on Wang Shiyi Lang's jade pendant in and out, it was to be very polite to us in the gatehouse, he said that he did not see Pei Xiaolang out of the house, and helped me contact other gatehouses, no one has seen Xiao Lang with Wang Shiyi Lang's jade pendant go out, and Xiaolang's horse is still tied to the same place. ”

Wei Jian took a deep breath: "So, my brother was detained by the people of the Wang family?"

Zu Kuo still shook his head: "No." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The porter finally helped me and others to contact Mashi, Matsuzhi asked the servants who swept along the way, and they all said that they hadn't seen Pei Xiaolang turn back and expand the scope to search, but there was still no news. ”

Wei Ji thought, "When you went, did you see Wang Xuan?"

Zu Ke said simply: "No, Wang Shiyi Lang asked Wei Zhi to say that Lang Jun might not come, so he went to get busy first, when we arrived, he seemed to be discussing with the prince and Wang Luan, and in the afternoon, he had already gone to Langya Palace." ”

Wei Ji's heart was in turmoil: "A good big living person, in broad daylight, can he still disappear out of thin air?"

Zu Que echoed: "This is the strange place, there are so many people in and out of the Wang family, but no one has seen Pei Xiaolang after that." ”

Wei Ji took out Pei Rang's bag: "Then where did you get this?"

Zu Ke said with a solemn face: "It was picked up by the servants of the Wang family." ”

Wei Jia's heart hung up: "Where did you pick it up?"

"At the entrance to Wangjiahou Mountain. ”

Wei Fei got on his horse: "If you are really detained by the people of the Wang family, I will take a trip in person!"

"But......" Zu Que wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't speak, and Zu Que turned over

A few of them climbed into the hired carriage and followed the guard straight to the king's house.

Knowing that Wei Ji would definitely come, Maji waited for her outside the main gate of the Wang family.

Seeing Matsuji, Wei Ji didn't talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "I'm here, can I let my brother go?"

Matsuji arched his hand and said, "I've seen Lang Jun." He was neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Lang Jun, Pei Xiaolang really wasn't detained by us." "In front of so many people, naturally you can't tear down the body of Wei Yan's daughter.

Knowing that Matsuji is not a liar, she just can't help but say: "It's not that I'm being detained, is it because my brother is attached to your royal family's luxury and is reluctant to leave?"

Majiji also had a solemn face: "It's true that it's not detained, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm just trapped." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Lang Jun, can you take a step to speak?"

Wei Ji looked around, this is indeed not the place to talk, now is not the time to be rash, if you want to take Pei Rang out as soon as possible, then cooperate, so she turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to Zu Que, and followed Mast Zhi to a secluded corner.

"Lang Jun, according to the guess below, Pei Xiaolang probably entered the pagoda in the back mountain. ”

Knowing Pei Rang's whereabouts, but looking at Maji's expression, Wei's heart became more and more tight, but after a period of buffering, she gradually calmed down: "What's the mystery of that tower?"

Maze Zhi was not originally the Wang family, and he has been floating outside with Wang Xuan over the years, and the affairs of the family are not very clear, but he still knows more or less about this tower: "The tower is a forbidden place for the Wang family, and it is rumored that there are many organs in the tower, not to mention outsiders, it is the Wang family's own people, if you break by mistake, there is no entry or exit." ”

Wei Jian took a deep breath: "What kind of results will those who break in by mistake get?"

Matsuji couldn't bear it: "There are no dead corpses!"

"There's always a chance to survive, right?"

Maji shook his head: "No exceptions. He added: "So the lord once told us not to try to break into the tower in vain, it doesn't matter, don't even enter the back mountain casually." ”

Wei Jian doesn't believe in evil: "Since it's your royal family's own tower, there should always be a way to deal with it, right?"

Maji nodded: "Yes, but only the patriarch or those who have been authorized by the patriarch can enter, and I heard that in the past few years, the old patriarch has entered the tower only a handful of times!"

Hearing this, the guard arched his hand and said, "Thank you, the mast supervisor, for telling me the truth!"

Mast Zhi hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare to be." ”

The guard continued: "I also have to ask the mast supervisor to show me the way." ”

Maze Zhi exclaimed: "But the prince is not in the mansion at the moment, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back tonight, so the girl is going to break through?" emphasized the word "girl".

"I just wanted to get my brother out!"

Maze dissuaded: "I can't help it, after that Pei Xiaolang is a servant, there is no need for the girl to make senseless sacrifices, besides, Pei Xiaolang has been in for so long, I'm just afraid of ......"

The guard raised his hand to interrupt him: "Before going down the mountain, I made a covenant with him, vowing to live and die together, if the mast supervisor is afraid of taking responsibility, it is inconvenient to tell him, and the guard will not be reluctant!"

Matsuji moved to the front of the guard to block her way: "I have sent someone to inform the lord that he will be back soon, and the girl may wish to wait a little longer." ”

Wei Jian said categorically: "But my brother can't wait." Maze still wanted to stop her, but Wei Jian unceremoniously offered the Longyuan Sword: "I hope that the mast supervisor will make it convenient!"

Maji is a comprehensive all-rounder, encountering such a military expert of the garrison, naturally not an opponent, he knows the way of the times, let the garrison pass, while sending people to urge Wang Xuan to rush back, while instructing people to notify, no one is allowed to reveal the specific location of the pagoda, if possible, let the palace attendants try to stop the garrison......

Seeing that Wei Jian came back, Zu Que and the others surrounded him and asked with concern: "How was the talk?"

Wei Ji's gaze passed over the faces of Zu Cu and the others one by one, and finally made a cautious gesture, bit his lip, and said in a low voice: "Gentlemen, if I still don't return before noon tomorrow, one of the boxes of the belongings that the monarchs have taken today can be divided in, but I still have a mentally incomplete sister, and my brother has an elderly grandmother, I hope that you will hand over that box of belongings to the two of them and escort them to Nangong!"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Zu Que took the lead and said: "At the beginning, I took a fancy to Lang Jun as a person who can achieve things, and I followed without saying a word, and I could share a lot of wealth by running together.

Wei Ji bowed again, and then said with a straight face: "It is precisely because he knows the ability of the monarchs that Wei entrusts the most important relatives to everyone, and the monarchs also know that the journey is far and risky, and carries a large amount of property, I don't know how many bandits will be encountered, and what is distributed to everyone is really hard money!"

Zu Que continued: "Okay, leave them to wait outside, Zu Mou will go in with Langjun!"

Hearing his words, the rest of the people were not to be left behind, scrambling to follow the guard in, but the guard refused, she walked quickly to the two horses standing side by side, but walked around the snow to Pei Rang's horse, first reached out to touch its long black mane behind the neck, and then leaned against its horse face with his forehead, and said softly: "Luo Sheng, please!" Then flew on the horse, lay on the horse's back, and rushed straight into the open side door of the Wang family.

Not to mention that she is a stranger, even her own family can't gallop in the courtyard, the porter was caught off guard, and she took the opportunity to break in, and Zu Que also planned to follow her, but when he stepped on the snow, he didn't cooperate at all, and secondly, the porter was also on guard, and he couldn't do it in the end.

Without waiting for the first wave of attendants to come to stop her, Wei Ji took out the brocade bag that she had brought by the way when she took the Longyuan sword before, and poured out the jade plate engraved with the word "Xuan" inside, she felt that a small jade pendant engraved with the word "Xuan" could allow Pei to let them enter and enter the Wang family freely, so this "Xuan" brand that was much larger than the jade pendant would definitely be better to use.

As she expected, when she saw the attendant of the jade plate, she invariably stepped back - Weizhi is indeed Wang Xuan's supervisor, but he is not the housekeeper of the family, and the attendants in the palace will listen to him, but in view of the fact that in the near future, Wang Xuan will inherit the position of patriarch, and Weizhi, who is in charge of him, is likely to become the chief of the Wang family, and he will sell him face.

The incident happened suddenly, Maji only asked them to block the intruder, but he didn't say what the identity of the person who came over was, and suddenly saw the extra-large and extraordinary material "pass", who dared to offend?

The road that Pei Rang's horse took with the guard, although it was not wide, was very smooth, except for the people who deliberately rushed over to stop her, there were almost no servants of the Wang family, and even if they encountered the wall, Ande was also a high gate, and they could get through guΓ² without dismounting.

The most important thing is that there are no idle people waiting to come and go, and there will be much less interference with the residual taste, which can make Pei Rang's horse find his whereabouts faster - let the people of the Wang family show the way, it is better to ask Pei Rang's beloved horse to be reliable!

"Jingle bell, jingle bell-" From ethereal to clear, it is the tower bell, although the sound is a little smaller than the eaves bell of Luoyuantai, but it gives people a very similar feeling.

After turning another corner, I looked up and saw a towering spire!
