Chapter 400: Goodbye
Wei Minwen was not at home, and Wei Ji's chief steward also came. Wei Minwen took him to the government office.
They did not return until the hour came.
The requirements of the Yuxian County Defense Battalion were not excessive, and many businessmen made promises on the spot. Some excuses had to be discussed in a good manner, and the city defense battalion was not embarrassed. A three-day deadline was given.
Wei Ji and Zhang Ji promised the grain, and the Yun Clan's horse gang promised horses. Grain and horses are readily available. It's just that in this way, the Yun clan's stronghold here is an empty shell, and it has to be transferred from elsewhere.
The next day, the Yuxian County Defense Battalion came to haul grain and pull horses, and several big stewards were not idle. Zhang Xing was worried about an accident, so she also followed to watch. It's just that she didn't get out of the carriage.
The people from the city defense camp looked polite, and the shop went around inside and out, and when the things were pulled away, they said thank you.
Zhao Zixing's words were also round, with a smile, and he only said: "Yes, yes, in order to ensure the safety of the people of Yuxian County, you put life and death out of the way, and we admire it very much." This bit of food, compared to your high righteousness, is really nothing, and it deserves a word of thanks. β
The person sent it away, and the smile on Zhao Zixing's face was accepted, and he touched his chin, which was obviously reluctant.
The food they dragged back at the risk of their lives had not yet been warmed up, so they had to give it to others, and it would be distressing for anyone to change it.
But as the owner expected, it is difficult to stay with the things that appear in front of people.
Well, Gu Yongfeng and Xiao Fugui, if he has to choose one, then he should choose Gu Yongfeng.
"Mr. Zhao." Gu Yu called Zhao Zixing, who was about to enter the house.
Zhao Zixing turned around and saw Zhang Xing getting out of the carriage, and hurriedly greeted him.
Zhang Xing stood under the eaves and looked at the door plaque above her head.
"Take it off." She said. This plaque has been in existence for eight or nine years, and it is the first plaque she intends to hang up when she intends to do grain trading.
Zhao Zixing nodded, and beckoned the guy who had not yet entered the door to take a ladder to get the door plaque of the chapter grain store.
Gu Yu walked forward with Zhang Xing, and turned his head to look at the guys taking the plaques, and his heart was full of emotion. He looked at the plaque that he hung up. At that time, he hadn't been here for a long time, and he hadn't yet recognized all the words, so he followed the uncle's side to learn to do things.
Mr. Hu pointed to a few words on the door plaque and said, "Do you recognize it?" Chapter Grain Line! β
He didn't admit it all, but he knew that he was selling grain, and he couldn't help but be very excited at that time.
People who have never gone hungry never know their cravings for food.
He then knew that as long as he worked hard, he would never go hungry and cold again.
It was only a few years before the door plaque had to be taken down.
Of course, he knew that taking down the door plaque did not mean that the seal was bad.
At this time, everyone is short of food and clothing, day and night, hanging the signboard of the grain store, that is a live target. When people are forced to the point where they have no way to live, they can do anything.
Take down the door plaque, that's no way to do it. As long as the people are still there and the food is still there, there will always be a day when it will hang up again.
Zhao Zixing followed, and Gu Yu didn't look back anymore.
The shop was in a mess, the floor was littered with spilled grain, and a few rice buckets were empty.
Zhang Xing turned to the backyard warehouse, the bamboo ring had been put away, and the huge warehouse looked extremely empty.
Zhao Zixing reported the number in a low voice.
Zhang Xing didn't speak, the grain she pulled back from Yu'an, since she entered the city, she knew that she might not be able to keep it, so she didn't receive it in the big warehouse. Now that he has been pulled away, he is actually not much sad.
She is not short of food.
The guys' severance money was paid, and someone came over to say goodbye. Zhang Xing asked Zhao Zixing to go out, and after standing in the grain depot for a while, she went out.
There were a lot of people on the street, and there were soldiers on horseback coming in a row, and He An hurriedly drove the carriage aside,
Zhang Xing heard the sound of neat footsteps outside, and lifted the curtain of the carriage. Unexpectedly, I saw an acquaintance at a glance.
Gu Xichao sat on horseback, with a straight posture and a solemn face. Perhaps because of the long-term battlefield, there is no trace of the former suave son and brother on his body, but Xiao Kill Shen Su, which makes people cold for no reason.
Seeing that she was about to come, Zhang Xing quietly lowered the curtain of the car and listened to the neat and uniform tapping sound.
It seems that it won't be long before Yuxian County will experience a big war. She thought.
There are only three cities in the Gu family's hands now, but they are worth more than a dozen of other cities. She heard the stone say that the water and land routes in Huaiyang Yu County, Jin'an are all connected, and it is convenient to come and go, and there is a large mountainous area in the middle, which can communicate with each other. It is said that it is one city, and in times of crisis, it can be topped with three. If Xiao Fugui wants to win any of them, he must attack together in three ways, otherwise, it is easy to lose his head and tail.
She doesn't know how to fight, but the last sneak attack on Yuxian County was a precedent.
Xiao Fugui got all the Jin An, but in the end he was taken back, with heavy casualties.
If Yuxian really fights, it's easy to say if it wins, but what if it loses?
She had to think about the way back.
When it comes to war, no one can guarantee victory.
The carriage stopped, and she lifted the curtains. It's already home.
"Is the second master back?" As she entered, she asked.
The mother-in-law guarding the door nodded in a row, "I'm back." β
She went to Jincui Courtyard, and met the big girl Chunsheng next to Yun Jinlan on the way, and she hurriedly stopped her: "What's wrong?" β
Chunsheng bent his body and replied, "Grandma, our wife has a seizure." β
When Zhang Xing heard this, she hurriedly quickened her pace, and asked as she walked, "Did the midwife call?" β
"It's already in." Chunsheng replied.
When he arrived at Jincui Courtyard, Zhang Xing saw Wei Minwu pacing back and forth at the door of the house. He saw Zhang Xing, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, regardless of the presence of many people, he pulled and asked, "Xing'er, are you back!" Jinlan she ......"
Yun Jinlan in the room screamed again, and Wei Minwu's face turned pale with fright.
Zhang Xing comforted: "Don't panic, it'll be fine." I'll go in and take a look. β
They have prepared a lot, Yun Jinlan is not an ordinary woman, she has also run with the horse gang before, although there was a period of instability during pregnancy, but the later stage is fine. They invited Lang Zhong to the house to check the pulse every day, and also said that it was expected to be these days.
When she entered the room, Fu Xianglian was also there, standing aside and talking to Yun Jinlan in a low voice.
"How?" Zhang Xing asked.
"It's been more than an hour, and the head hasn't opened yet." The midwife replied.
Zhang Xing went over, grabbed Yun Jinlan's other hand, and told her to exert herself, "Exhale slowly first, don't be in a hurry." When the seizure comes, you push harder. β
Yun Jinlan nodded slightly from Zhang Xing in pain. Fu Xianglian is also a person who has come over, and she has already told her this. In fact, according to them, she felt much better than before.
From Mao Shi to Hai Shi, Yun Jinlan's attacks became more and more intensive. Zhang Xing and Fu Xianglian were in the room all the time. Wait until the midwife cries, "It's coming! Zhang Xing couldn't help but get nervous.
With Yun Jinlan's scream, the child's cry followed. Zhang Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Madam, it's a young master!" The midwife smiled and reported for duty.
"Good!" Zhang Xing took the child and showed it to Yun Jinlan. She was still conscious, and when she saw the infant child, she smiled.
Wei Minwu was still waiting outside. When Zhang Xing took the child out, she said softly: "Mother and son are safe!" β
Wei Minwu jumped up with joy, shouted three times, and ordered his entourage, "Reward!" All are rewarded! β
Everyone in the courtyard congratulated, and Ye Hexiang stood next to Wei Yunhai and couldn't help but look at Zhang Jinbao.
Zhang Xing returned to his yard, the little brother was already asleep, pursed his mouth, and there were tears on his face.
ββ¦β¦ The nurse hugged it, and after he took a bite, he refused to eat it again, and his mouth was curled and he had to come down. Everyone can't do it, no matter how you coax it......" Mother You whispered to Zhang Xing about the little brother's breastfeeding.
After hearing this, Zhang Xing couldn't help but reach out and touch the little brother's face.
"In the future, call us Brother Xi!" She said to You's mother.
Mother You was stunned for a while, and then she realized that this was the name of the little brother in the future, "Hey, good! Our brother Xi will be blessed in the future! "Xi, with joy, indicates that there are both blessings and auspiciousness.
The second young master of the Wei family did a very simple job, so he invited Li Dahe and his wife and Uncle Ye's family who lived in Wutong Lane, as well as Uncle Fu next door.
Wei Yunhai gave his second grandson a nickname, called Tiezhu. Wei Minwu expressed his displeasure on the spot. Helplessly, under the mixture of Uncle Fu, he took one of the words, column.
As for daimyos, they are usually taken after they are three years old.
Not long after Brother Zhu'er's washing, the sound of war, which had stopped for more than a month, sounded again. Yuxian County is no longer allowed to enter, and they can still go up to see Gu Yu on the city tower in the past, but now they are not allowed to let in, and they will be driven away even if they get close.
They could only stand a short distance away and count the heads on the wallsβmore than before.
Zhang Xing discussed with Wei Minwu, if Yuxian really couldn't hold it, where would they go?
Definitely can't stay in town.
Xiao Fugui is not a good person.
Zhang Ji, Wei Ji, Yun Clan, three big signboards, looting one is enough for them to eat for a long time, especially Zhang Ji!
Who doesn't know that there is food?
In these days, food is more important than people!
Since you can't stay in the city, you can only run up the mountain. The place where Yuxian County meets Jin'an is Qingmeng Mountain, and Shi has taken Zhang Xing to it several times before. At that time, Zhang Xing didn't expect that there would be a day when she would flee for her life here, so she didn't remember the terrain or anything.
There are naturally good places for Tibetan people in Qingmeng Mountain. The stones that came out of the bandit's den were clear to the nearby terrain, and he told Zhang Xing about several such places.
Zhang Xing only remembers a rough idea.
It doesn't matter, though. The Yun Clan's horse gang is used to walking mountain roads.
Wei Minwu had already sent good men to explore the way. When they come back, everything can be assured.
Sycamore Lane has started to secretly pack up things. Wei Minwu also whispered to Uncle Fu.
Although Gu Yu and the others can't go up to the city wall, they can still listen to the situation in Yuxian County. Today, outside Yuxian City, there have been many people stationed in King Fu. I heard that there are people in the city who provoke every day. The city defense of Yuxian City paid little attention to it, and only put arrows down and drove away.
In this regard, Wei Minwu nodded and said: "We have enough reserves in Yuxian County, so we really don't need to pay attention to it." β
Zhang Xing felt that it was probably Yuxian who was waiting for news from Heyang.
No matter how much Yuxian County has reserves, can it be more than Xiao Fugui, who has now won most of Jianghuai?
As for Xiao Fugui, why didn't he seize the opportunity? She couldn't think of it.
Wei Minwu was well-informed, "Although Xiao Fugui has integrated the Heyuan Army, he doesn't value them. I heard that after beating Yu'an, he had a trouble inside. Several generals under Liu Shaoping united to fight against the water, but they were restrained. After killing a wave of people, it stopped. β
"And this?" Zhang Xing was surprised. This is the first time she has heard of this news.
However, it's right to think about it. Liu Yihan has been the king in the Heyuan area for so long, how will the people under his command change their banners so easily and die for Xiao Fugui? Xiao Fugui doesn't seem to be a big-hearted person.
Wei Minwu said with a smile: "If Liu Yihan had a daughter, maybe this matter would be easy to do, but unfortunately, he only got a son, and he was still short-lived." β
If Liu Yihan had a daughter, would he be able to marry Gu Luo's family? This is much more solid than a forged alliance.
Zhang Xing knew what Wei Minwu meant, she lowered her head and took a sip of water.
The union of Gu Luo's two families is indeed a wise move, and she has not heard of any discord between the two armies so far.
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a whining sound.
"This? Xiao Fugui is here? Wei Minwu said with a frown.
Zhang Xing also stood up, and there was no horn sound when the battle at the city gate came in the past.
"I'll take a look!" After Wei Minwu dropped a word, he left in a hurry.
Zhang Xing also began to feel uneasy, and the people sent by Wei Minwu to Qingmeng Mountain had not yet returned.
The sound of the horn alarmed everyone, and even Fu Xianglian came over.
"Xing'er......" she looked at Zhang Xing with a pale face.
Zhang Xing squeezed her hand, "Don't panic first, the second brother has already gone over to take a look." β
Fu Xianglian nodded and pulled her son Wei Junbao to her side. Zhang Xing had already greeted her, and she had also packed up the things that should be packed.
It's just that Wei Minwen is not at home, and she is still panicked.
Zhang Xing whispered to Xia Zhi: "You go to Wutong Lane and let Mother Xiao bring Uncle Li and Uncle Li over." β
Not long after the summer solstice went out, Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu came over.
Uncle Fu's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was carried in. Zhang Xing and Fu Xianglian saw them and hurriedly came over.
"Where's Min Wu?" Uncle Fu asked.
"He's out and have a look." Zhang Xing said in a low voice.
Aunt Fu's hands were cold, and she looked at Zhang Xing speechless.
They had already escaped before, could they survive this time?
Just a few days ago, Xiao Fugui took Zhanghe Town, and escaped from the city by luck, saying that there were already more dead than living people in the city, and the street where the Fu family's compound was located was burned by the fire, and I don't know how many dead and injured people were inside, and the whole street was unrecognizable.
When the news came, even Uncle Fu was silent.
