The relief of worries
When Xie Wei did not leave Jinling, he went all the way to the west and went straight to the frontier, because he was worried about what danger he would encounter when taking the path, so he always avoided all the trails and tried to take the main roads and official roads.
Although she really wanted to see Chang Jiyang and wanted to tell him the truest words in her heart these days, she didn't want to lose her mind because of her anxious mood.
Because in this way, the degree of danger encountered has been greatly increased, and she thinks that she is still more desperate for her life, so she perfectly missed Chang Jiyang's people who rushed to Jinling from the trail, and slowly went to the frontier alone.
She never even thought that she could meet Chang Jiyang on the road, because in her opinion, this was simply impossible, the border war was tight, how could Chang Jiyang turn around and go in the direction of Jinling at this time?
So Xie Wei has been cautious, pretending to be a man, rushing to the frontier without showing the mountains and water, when approaching the several counties where the war is tight, many people who fled moved their families, but Xie Wei did not feel afraid, she believed that Chang Jiyang's ability would definitely be able to hold the frontier and not let the thieves succeed.
But she was wrong, and when she arrived at Tongning County, which was poisoned by the war and had almost no people in the Great Song Dynasty, she couldn't help but be stunned.
From the mouths of the only remaining soldiers in Tongning County, I learned that the imperial court did not send people to Tongning County at all, and everyone retreated again and again, and they did not dare to retreat after arriving in this Tongning County, because if they retreated, there was really no way out.
Several counties were lost, and the morale of the soldiers had long been lost, and all that was left was timidity.
Xie Wei had no way to believe the words of the soldiers, and there was no way to believe that Chang Jiyang, who had set off so long earlier, did not come to Tongning County, and Xie Wei couldn't imagine what happened to make Chang Jiyang delay this operation.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are no more than two reasons, one is that the imperial court ordered Chang Jiyang to go back immediately, which shows that Jinling City has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the other is that Chang Jiyang left with his troops privately, and did not come to Tongning County, nor did he go to Jinling, obviously to rebel......
The tragedy on the side of Tongning County was far worse than Xie Wei imagined, the enemy army launched an attack that night, and the momentum seemed to have accumulated for many years and had nowhere to volatilize, when Xie Wu fled with the large army, he was unfortunately caught by the enemy army who caught up.
She didn't dare to reveal her identity, and was held as a prisoner by the soldiers and with the others, but she didn't embarrass her in any way, but forced them to cook and do laundry every day, and do many things like slaves.
Xie Wei had never done such work when she was a princess, and she was forced to do it in the barracks for more than a month, her hands were already rough as dead trees, and her face was black, and she looked very greasy because she couldn't take a bath.
However, this is also what Xie Wei hopes to become, because a face that is too prominent is not a good thing in the barracks, and only if it is humble enough to be ignored can it be possible to live.
"Have you heard? The emperor has died, and today the crown prince ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Yuanming!"
Several middle-aged women were talking quietly on the side, but the whole person was stunned when she heard the news, since she came to this barracks, she didn't know anything about the outside world, and there was no way to get the news she wanted to know.
Seeing them say such earth-shattering news at this moment, Xie Wei couldn't control his emotions, and excitedly stepped forward and asked, "What you said is true......? Father, is he really?"
"Look, I've driven another one crazy, and my father is shouting to the emperor, if you're a princess, then I'm still the queen's mother!" one of the women looked at Xie Wei with disdain, and she didn't see Xie Wei very pleasant on weekdays, because Xie Wei was slow with her hands and feet, so many times she did twice as much work as Xie Wei.
The posture of working partially to relieve worries makes people not see that they are lazy, as if they are working very hard, but in fact they do not do much work, which makes women unable to find an explanation if they want to find thorns.
"That is to say, if you have this kung fu daydreaming, why don't you hurry up and wash your clothes! Pretending to be crazy and stupid all day long, you want us to help you work, don't you?" Another woman also helped, pulling the woman to move to the side, "By the way, is what you just said true or false? Is Da Song really going to be finished? So what should we do in the future?"
"Of course it's true, when I went to dry my clothes just now, I passed by the boss's tent and heard it by chance, and I can't be wrong! If I hadn't run fast, I guess they would have treated me as a spy!" When the woman said this, she glanced at her worries, lowered her voice and continued, "I also heard that the crown prince is not the prince more than a month ago, but the previous king, it is said that at that time, a lot of accidents have happened in Jinling City, and many people have died!" Jinling City originally sent people over to support the frontier, but when something like that happened, everyone ran back, and we were so miserable!"
"Oh my God, how could such a thing happen? If it weren't for this incident, we wouldn't have ended up so badly, maybe this incident was provoked by King Ding, and now that he has become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what kind of situation we will fall into in the future?"
Hearing their words, Xie Wei's heart was dull for a while, but in just over a month, so many things had happened, and she didn't know anything, and she didn't even know if Chang Jiyang was still alive now.
She didn't even have the opportunity to go back to wear linen and filial piety for her father, she loosened the clothes in her hand weakly, and sat on the ground weakly, and what came to her mind was the scenes in the palace......
Xie Wei never imagined that he would fall to such a point as a princess, Wei Wei and the Great Song Dynasty, would fall into such a field today, the people who wanted to see him didn't see it, he wanted to leave but he couldn't help himself, and as a son and daughter of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no way to make any contribution to the Great Song Dynasty.
After a while, Xie Wei grabbed the clothes in her hand again, and she gritted her teeth and made a great determination, that is, she planned to assassinate the enemy commander tonight and poison a battalion of the enemy army.
She didn't know how much impact her approach would bring, but it was better than doing nothing and waiting for death in vain, maybe as soon as the enemy commander died, the enemy army would be self-defeating!
It's better to have a chance than not to have a chance, and even if the hope of this opportunity is slim, you must try your best!
