Suddenly hearing Wei Lai's voice, He Zhi's body was obviously stiff for a moment. However, after that moment of stiffness, when she looked back again, except for the usual smile on her face, she had regained her calmness again: "General Xiao Wei is here, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

He Zhi's voice was calm with a little coldness, although he was still generous and never rude, but the estrangement and distance were clearly placed in front of Wei Lai. Wei Lai saw these in his eyes, and his heart was extremely sour.

I barely hooked the corners of my lips, but found that I couldn't laugh a little. Wei Lai couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't force himself anymore, and said bluntly: "Jin Rui, I know I'm sorry for you, but there are some things I still want to say to you." After a pause, seeing He Zhi frowning slightly, obviously not wanting to hear it, he said again: "I said mine, if you really don't want to listen, just take it as a deaf ear." ”

It's all said and done, whether it's out of upbringing or something else, He Zhi can't say anything again. So she just glanced at Wei Lai lightly, then turned her head back and moved her gaze out the window, obviously planning to ignore the other party.

Wei Lai didn't feel displeased with this, and even felt a little glad in his heart that Miss He was so self-contained, if someone else had encountered this incident, she would have been kicked out long ago. And now, as long as He Zhi is still willing to see her and listen to her, then there will always be a chance for the relationship between the two to ease, after all, He Zhi is not a hard-hearted person.

The mood relaxed a little, Wei Lai didn't care about He Zhi's appearance of wandering in the world, and said lightly: "My Wei family is a family of military families for generations, and it has been passed on to me for at least seven or eight generations, but the establishment of this dynasty has only been more than two hundred years. This dynasty is still martial, and there are many wars, and the Wei family is almost full of people. In my generation, I am the only one left in the once prosperous Wei family. Miss He, you come from a famous family and a scholarly family, you may not know the struggles of our people, but if my father hadn't asked my mother to report my household registration as a man before he set out on the expedition, maybe there would have been no Wei Lai in this world. ”

He Zhi seems to be wandering in the world, but there is someone talking to her next to her, where can she not hear? Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she heard every word Wei said, and even when she heard the last sentence "There is no such person as Wei Lai in this world for a long time", her heart couldn't help jumping, and she felt a little depressed and heartache inexplicably.

Wei came to see He Zhi, and didn't see any reaction from her, so he continued: "This world is not peaceful, the imperial court frequently uses soldiers, and the people pay taxes very heavily. Although military families have to send people to join the army in times of war, they are tax-free. My great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and the elders of the same clan all went to the frontier battlefield because of that sentence and never returned.

"My father is also gone, and if there is no more male in the family, I am afraid that my mother and I will not be able to live after all these years of taxes. Because of my father's last words, we survived in the end, and passed sixteen years in peace. It wasn't until seven years ago that I turned sixteen, and it coincided with the recruitment of the Dingbei Army, so I had no choice but to follow.

"When I left Changning Town, I never thought that I would be able to come back alive one day. I just thought that as long as I didn't die for a day, then my mother could live in peace and stability in her hometown. So in the barracks, I practiced hard, and on the battlefield, I desperately wanted to live, just to live one more day and let my mother have one more day of peace. At that time, I never thought that I would one day be able to enter the eyes of Marshal Wei, and he has been supported by him over the years, otherwise I would not have been able to become a loyal general from a nobody in the army, and even without him, I might have been a loess hand long ago. ”

These words were really emotional, and Wei Lai had never said them to anyone else, but when he said it at this time, his heart was full of amazement. She didn't look at He Zhi again, sighed and then moved her eyes out the window, but instead of looking at the crowd on the street, she looked at the white sky outside the window: "Jin Rui, you have asked me more than once why I am bent on resigning, I didn't know how to answer at that time, but now I don't say it, you should know it too, right?" I am a woman, how can I be an official or a general? ”

Over the years, Wei Lai has never thought about becoming an official, let alone marrying. From the beginning to the end, she never even had the luxury of expecting herself to come back alive, her greatest wish was to live a little longer. Because as long as she is still there, the Wei family is there, the name of the military household is there, and her mother can live without worrying about food and clothing in her hometown guarding a few acres of thin fields.

When the Dingbei Army returned victoriously and led the black-armored cavalry back majestically, Wei Lai was actually a little dazed and in a trance in his heart. The seven or eight generations of the Wei family, let alone a general, even the lowest rank of officers, have never done it from the ninth rank to accompany the captain of Rong, because it is difficult for ordinary sergeants to become officers. As the most ordinary sergeant, the Wei family is almost like cannon fodder on the battlefield, except for Wei Lai, no one has had the opportunity to come back alive from the battlefield after seven years in the army.

Wei Lai returned to the capital in a trance, but on the one hand, he was incredulous and wanted to resign as much as possible. However, the facts can't always be as expected, Marshal Wei is unwilling to let go, He Shangshu fell in love with her and wanted her to be her son-in-law, and there was a Miss He who always disturbed her mind, so in the end, Wei Lai became Miss He's fiancé in a daze.

By the time Wei Lai came to his senses, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

Of course, after returning to Beijing, Wei Lai didn't say anything more, because He Zhi knew all this. Even if there is something she doesn't know, by now, with her intelligence, she should have thought of it.

He Zhi really thought of it. She didn't waste this day and night, even if there was still a little girl like Xi Qiu by her side, who was disturbing her thoughts from time to time, but she thought of no less things than Wei Lai. Even compared to Wei Lai's cranky thoughts, she thought more, but no matter how much she thought about it, it was not as good as listening to Wei Lai's words.

From Wei Lai's words, He Zhi heard her sadness, and even more heard her helplessness. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you may really not be able to blame Wei Lai for this, because she really didn't do anything except hide her identity.

He Zhi still didn't look back, but her eyes were getting more and more trance when she looked out the window. She is not an unreasonable person, but it is inevitable that she will be a little angry when it comes to the end, and at this moment, she finds that she can't even do it.

Who's to blame?

Wei Lai? She was just trying to keep herself and her mother alive, so she had to hide her identity and struggle to survive. Marshal Wei or He Shangshu? One of them is just reluctant to remove his good generals and cherish talents. One is a woman who loves her and wants to help her find a lover.

So after thinking about it, He Zhi felt that she was probably the only one who was wrong in the whole thing. Kneel and beg to return to the field
