Zhang Xing and Shi arrived at the front hall of the main courtyard, and Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu were indeed already waiting.

"Big brother and second brother." The stone shouted.

The two sat down. Wei Minwen has always felt that Shi is full of gangsters and is not worthy of his sister Zhang Xing. After more than a year of seeing each other, he saw that the stone's behavior was not only not restrained, but even more terrifying. The demure and gentle Zhang Xing stood beside the giant tower-like stone, like a young bean sprout.

He was very unhappy. His sister is excellent in everything, and she is born with such a bandit-like character.

"It's not like there is no door at home, why do you climb over the wall in the middle of the night?" Wei Minwen said with a frown.

Zhang Xing knew her eldest brother's knot. He had always felt that the stone that had been a bandit was not worthy of him. But she knew in her heart that her past with the stone determined that she could only be with the stone for the rest of her life.

As for the reason for coming in over the wall, the stone told her last night.

Shi entered the city in the middle of the night, and his appearance had changed greatly, and Yu Bo, who was guarding the door, did not recognize anyone. These years are not peaceful, and the night is too small. Uncle Yu was desperately blocked from entering, and he had to let people inform the masters of the inner courtyard and let them confirm it.

The stone waited impatiently, and saw that the courtyard wall was not too high, so he simply climbed in.

As a result, as soon as I came in, I met the outer courtyard patrolling, and the two sides almost fought. Fortunately, Sun Xin arrived later.

Zhang Xingshi has not yet opened his mouth to explain the reason. Wei Minwu laughed, compared to his eldest brother Wei Minwen, he felt that the stone was very good for his spleen and stomach. Neither of them is honest people.

"Big brother, this husband and wife, who haven't seen each other for a year and a half, isn't it unusual to be anxious? Don't worry about that, as long as the person is okay. Wei Minwu smiled at Wei Minwen.

Shi hurriedly rushed at the second uncle to thank him for relieving the siege.

Wei Minwu smiled and asked Shishi, "How did you get over the past year and a half?" At the beginning of the year, we heard that your whereabouts were unknown, and we all thought something had happened to you. ”

Shi smiled and said, "It's my fault that makes the eldest brother and second brother worried." At that time, I was in a hurry, and my whereabouts were not good to tell the outside world, so I could only report my disappearance. ”

"You, were you really in Xiao Fugui's camp during that time?" Wei Minwu asked. This is their guess.

Shi smiled, "Sort of, I have an old relationship with that Liu Chongwu, I once saved his life before, and after leaving the Shen family's camp, I followed Liu Chongwu." ”

"You kid, you can hide it tightly enough. Did Shen Qian or Shen Huaijin let you go? Why don't you give us some news, during that time, Xing'er's life was not easy. ”

Shi looked at Zhang Xing, the corners of his mouth were upturned, "No, I was going to go by myself, when I fought Heyang, I was a little injured, and the medical officer had to say that it would take some time to get better, I was so idle that I begged Shen Huaijin and asked him to allow me to return home, but when I walked halfway down, I met Liu Chongwu, and I simply followed him." ”

In fact, he has been thinking about Zhang Xing, thinking that she is about to give birth. It is said that a woman's birth is like passing through a ghost gate. He couldn't put it down, and wanted to go home and take a look. After meeting Liu Chongwu halfway, the kid didn't let him go, and Shen Huaijin also asked him to follow Liu Chongwu and act cheaply when he saw the opportunity. In order to make him die, he also told him that Zhang Xing had given birth to a big fat boy for him, and the mother and son were safe.

During this period, he also wanted to send a message here, but Yu'an Zhanghe fell in a row, and Liu Chongwu was always staring at Xiao Fugui's side, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Xiao Fugui was really killed by you?" Wei Minwu asked again.

This matter was also asked about the stone last night. He has always been by Liu Chongwu's side, and the infighting in Xiao Fugui's army was almost provoked by him, and Xiao Fugui's whereabouts of escape were also revealed to Shen Huaijin by him.

"Yes." Stone replied with a smile, "That old thing still wants to take a boat back to the source of the river and daydream about it." ”

The pride in the stone's words was palpable, and it was the same last night. Obviously, he was very happy to be able to kill Xiao Fugui. Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu also had smiles on their faces. The stone has made such a great achievement, and the reward must be indispensable.

Only Zhang Xing's expression was the same. The stone narrative is brief, but the danger is different, the Huai River is so turbulent, Xiao Fugui is sitting in a boat, and there are die-hard henchmen around him, the stone jumped into the river alone, chased after him, and cut off the other party's head. If you are a little careless during this period, he will not be able to come back.

She knew that the stone was bold, water-based, and could kill and fight, but it was still too dangerous to do so.

Thinking of what he said before, he would never let Xiao Fugui go. This is a fulfillment of the oath.

Her heart was even heavier.

The personality of the eyes must be repaid, there are good and bad.

"You sneaked back?" Wei Minwen asked.

"Is that difficult?" Shi smiled and said, "I also made a report." "Promotion and fortune are just around the corner, so he won't be stupid, don't run away." Shen Qian and Shen Huaijin are also about to come here. ”

The stone's words made Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu nervous, Shen Qian and Shen Huaijin were coming, so their next move would soon begin. Fighting is closely related to doing business, and whether they can grasp the opportunity is especially important for them. The shops of Yunzhang and Wei are not all in the same place.

"Are they going east or north?" Wei Minwu asked in a low voice.

"To the east, Anyang. I heard Shen Huaijin say that the military grain and grass have gone through the waterway in advance, and there is no doubt that it must be Anyang. The stone replied.

Wei Minwu looked at Zhang Xing, some time ago, Jin Yao came to pull grain, and he was also a boat. At that time, he thought that the ship was about to arrive in Huaiyang, and he felt strange in his heart. Xiao Fugui is in the Yuyang area, this is about to start a war, shouldn't the food go to the Yu'an area? Why did you go to Huaiyang? Now it seems that where the dozen or so boats of grain are going to Huaiyang, it is clearly going to Anyang. The Shen family had already planned to attack Anyang.

Anyang is not Jianghuai here, Anyang's prosperity is second only to Kyoto, if the old emperor is still alive, there is a new capital.

Zhang Xing looked up at Wei Minwu and asked, "Second brother, what do you think the Shen family's chances of winning Anyang are?" ”

Yun Wei Zhang all three have branches in Anyang, but in terms of familiarity with Anyang, it is still Wei Minwu. When the new capital was built, Wei Minwu was one of them. Although he later escaped, he stayed there for several years.

Wei Minwu thought for a moment and said, "Sixty percent." ”

The garrison of Anyang is Yan Changmao, the brother of the Empress Dowager Yan, who can be regarded as the benchmark figure of the Yan family, and his martial arts are not bad, and his subordinates are also full of talents.

Although the Northwest Army is powerful, it may not be able to win against such a figure.

Zhang Xing had also heard of Yan Changmao. She is now in the same boat as the Shen family, so she naturally hopes that they will win.

Sixty percent of the odds of winning are not high, Yan Changmao has a geographical advantage, and he is not afraid of how long it drags on. But the Shen family can't do this. The longer the war drags on, the more backup support is needed. Jianghuai's harvest this year is not good, and I don't know what the situation will be next year. But Zhang Xing felt that even if it was good, it was not as good as the years before the war. The sharp decline in the population, especially the able-bodied workforce, is a hard wound.

Most of the grain she recorded came from Jianghuai, and the harvest was not good, so naturally she couldn't send too much up.

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu also frowned, Yun Weizhang said that it was three families, but they were still one family inside.

Zhang Xing looked at the stone, "Stone, what do you think?" She asked.

"I think it's eighty percent, at most next year." Stone said with a big grin.

Wei Minwen frowned and said, "You said it lightly, you can win the battle next year, you can't be that Yan Changmao?" ”

Shi picked up a few fruits to eat, and said without raising his head: "Yan Changmao's sister-in-law is not in good health, and my father-in-law is over there." ”

"You mean—Yao Qingshan?" Wei Minwu said in surprise.

Zhang Xing also stared at the stone. Stone's father-in-law, Yao Qingshan, is known as the medical saint, and he actually went to Anyang! How long did the Shen family start plotting against Anyang? With such a nail, the Shen family's chances of winning are indeed a few percent higher.

Shi looked at Zhang Xing with a smile and said carefully: "It is estimated that few people know about this matter, and my stepfather himself said it on my side, so it can't be wrong." He has been there for a year or two, and Yan Changmao is still polite to him. ”

The two brothers of the Wei family stopped talking and looked at Zhang Xing silently. Not long ago, Zhang Xing almost fell into the hands of Yao Qingshan's daughter. This Yao Qingshan told Shi Shi such a secret thing about his whereabouts, and their relationship was difficult to manage.

The stone also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, looked at this, looked at that, and asked, "What's wrong, this is?" My stepfather went to Anyang, but he didn't want to go by himself. ”

Zhang Xing naturally knew that Yao Qingshan would not run to Anyang inexplicably, Yao Mingzhu was a concubine by Shen Huailin's side, and Shi was on an errand in Shen Huaijin's army, his head was pumped, and he went to Anyang to treat Yan Changmao's son?

"It's fine." Zhang Xing said with a smile.

Shi didn't believe what she said, and he asked Wei Minwen, "Big brother, what happened?" ”

Wei Minwen sighed, Zhang Xing's matter, he also felt a little unspeakable. Wei Minwu interjected and said, "Does your stepfather still have a daughter?" ”

"That's right." Shi nodded and looked at Zhang Xing. Yao Mingzhu's matter, Zhang Xing knows.

"Is your senior sister an aunt by Shen Huailin's side?"

Shi's face couldn't help but become cautious, "Is something happened to my senior sister?" He asked.

Wei Minwen snorted. Wei Minwu's face was not good-looking, "Your senior sister is fine, nothing happened!" It's Apricot, she almost ruined Apricot's name! ”

The stone looked at Zhang Xing, "Xing'er?" ”

Zhang Xing knew that Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu in the back probably couldn't speak, after all, it was a matter in the backyard of the women.

In fact, to ask her to say that everything has already happened, and she is not damaged, it is meaningless to say it, but it makes it difficult for the stone to do. That Yao Qingshan is also very affectionate to stones, and he told him such a hidden thing as going to Anyang. Yao Mingzhu - she and Shi were so good, and she hasn't forgotten it yet.

She believes the same is true of stones.

However, the words have already been said and said, and there is no point in hiding it any longer.

"Big brother and second brother, let me tell you." Zhang Xing said, looking at the stone, "Your senior sister is now living in the Yuxian Mansion." Some time ago, she gave me a post asking me to come over and speak. I didn't think much of it, so I went. As a result, I don't know if it was in the tea or the dim sum, I was drugged, and I almost couldn't get out. ”

Shishi's face slowly became heavy, and he lowered his head, "Did she do it?" Are you sure? He said.

Zhang Xing felt a little nervous in her heart.

Wei Minwen couldn't hear it at first, stood up, and said, "Li Xiaoxuan, what do you mean?" You mean we've framed your sister, right? ”

Stone quickly stood up, "No, no, I didn't mean that......"

Wei Minwen remembered Zhang Xing's danger at that time, if it weren't for Gu Xichao, the consequences would be unimaginable. He really couldn't look down on the stone, and he brushed away with hatred.

Wei Minwu also stood up, compared to protecting the calf, he was no less than Wei Minwen. He pointed to the stone and said, "You shouldn't have said that!" "When he was done, he was leaving.

The stone hurriedly tried to stop it, Wei Minwu pointed at Zhang Xing and said, "If you have anything to say, you should tell Xing'er!" With that, he also left.

The stone came over and hugged Zhang Xing, "Xing'er, I said the wrong thing, you can beat me." ”

Zhang Xing felt a little depressed by being hugged by him, and wanted to struggle. However, the stone was clung to death. Her strength was not enough to see at all, so she had to sigh and say, "What am I going to do with you?" You and her have been in love for so many years, and you don't believe it for a while, but there are also some. ”

Even if it was her, didn't she believe it at first?

The stone hugged Zhang Xing, did not let go, and shouted over and over again: "Xing'er, Xing'er......, my father-in-law and senior sister, you don't know, I used to be in Qingmeng Mountain, if they hadn't saved me and protected me, I wouldn't have survived......"

Zhang Xing could hear the heaviness in the sound of the stone. There are many things she has not experienced in stone, such as being a bandit in Qingmeng Mountain, such as fighting in the Northwest Army, but she feels that she can understand and imagine the difficulties.

"I know, let it go, I'm out of breath." Zhang Xing said, "The eldest brother and the second brother can't think about it at once, don't blame them." ”

The stone let go of Zhang Xing, still holding her hand, "How can I blame the eldest brother and the second brother?" If only you had told me earlier. ”

Zhang Xing smiled, "I think she may also have a last resort." ”

Shi lowered his head and pinched Zhang Xing's hand, and said lightly: "No matter what I have to do, she has already done it." ”

Zhang Xing couldn't figure out what Shi was thinking in his heart, and thinking about this matter was indeed enough to make him embarrassed. Gu Yu probed outside the door. Zhang Xing broke free of the stone's big hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Yu replied: "Madam, the old lady asked you to go over." After glancing at the stone, he lowered his head again, "Let the master go with him." ”

This is Ye Hexiang also knew about the stone coming back. Zhang Xing just didn't want to talk about Yao Mingzhu anymore, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

The two met Wei Yunhai, Ye Hexiang, Uncle Fu and others together, and Wei Minwen sent people to Uncle Ye's house in Wutong Lane. Around noon, two tables of banquet were set up in the main hall, and family and friends gathered to celebrate the return of the stone. 10
