The spring sun is long, and not long after the time comes, the sky has already flashed a touch of fish belly white. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a group of seven or eight people hurried in on horseback with torches, but they were finally blocked outside the city by the tall closed city gate in front of them.

The gates are opened at dawn and closed at dusk, and they are not allowed to be opened or closed at will unless there are special circumstances, which is the same for all cities. It's just that the gate of an ordinary city can be opened with a warrant from the chief of the city when there is an emergency, but the gate of the capital can only be opened by an urgent military report except for the holy decree.

Obviously, this group of people did not have the ability to knock on the gate of the capital division, so they could only stop their horses and linger outside the city gate to wait.

"How long will it take for the gates to open?" A voice suddenly broke the silence around them. The person who spoke seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse and faintly anxious.

At this time, it was still early, and the whiteness of the fish belly on the horizon had only just spread, and if it weren't for the lighting of the torches that were about to burn out in their hands, people with good eyesight would only be able to see a few figures faintly in this darkness.

One of them habitually looked at the sky too much, and replied, "There is still about half an hour." The capital has arrived, General Wei, you can get off the horse and rest for a while. After a slight pause, he added: "Look at the legs too." ”

"Not necessarily." It was too troublesome to get off the horse with a broken leg, and Wei Lai answered without hesitation. She didn't look at the few people around her, only frowned and stared at the closed city gate, as if she could make the city gate open earlier and faster.

There was no one around to speak, but half an hour was not short after all, and almost everyone except Wei Lai got off their horses and rested. Someone patted the neck of his mount, and touched the sweat of his hand without surprise - they had been on the road for two days day and night, and the horse had changed three or four times, and now they were sleepy and tired, but fortunately the capital had arrived.

"General Wei, let's eat something." Taking advantage of the break, someone handed over dry food.

"Thank you." Wei Lai took it, but he didn't eat it immediately like everyone else, but took a sip of water and moistened his lips almost chapped, so he took a small bite of dry food and ate slowly.

This group of people was sent by Marshal Wei to Sanhe City to find Wei, and it was just an unrelenting struggle, but when they were rushing to Sanhe City all the way, they really let them find people. After that, he naturally brought Wei Lai the latest news from Jingzhong - Miss He and Aunt Wei thought she had died and were both seriously ill.

After that, General Xiao Wei, who was already in a hurry, naturally couldn't sit still anymore, and forcibly abandoned the carriage regardless of his injured leg, changed horses and followed these people all the way to the capital. On the road, not only do you have to endure the pain of a broken leg, spend more effort to control the horse by other parts of the body, and dare not eat and drink more, for fear that people will have three urgencies.

With Marshal Wei's warrant, the horses were changed again, and the carriage originally had to travel for five or six days, but it only took two days to arrive. But everyone can see that by now, Wei Lai is at the end of his crossbow, but he refuses to fall.

Nibbling on dry food, the few people accompanying him all looked at the only person who was still sitting on the horse, and some people moved their eyes to Wei Lai's broken leg that was still on the splint. They are all good soldiers in the army who have followed Marshal Wei for many years, and it is not uncommon for them to march for three days and three nights with a military order......

A few people who were gnawing on dry food looked at Wei Lai's legs, and estimated that even if they were fine, this leg would probably be useless

。 Thinking about the importance that his marshal attaches to General Xiao Wei, he can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

Half an hour was not a long time, but the sky was gradually brightening, and many people were waiting to enter the city outside the city. Compared with the tension of other cities along the way, the capital seems to be the least affected, at least the faces of these people waiting to enter the city are full of flatness, and there is no trace of panic and helplessness.

At dawn, the gates opened as scheduled.

************************************************************

After being quiet for a while, the Wei family's small courtyard has become lively again in recent days, and the doctors carrying the medicine box have come in and out, and I don't know how many have come. It's a pity that no matter how high the doctor's medical skills are, he can't cure the sadness, he just prescribes some medicine to nourish the body, and the rest can only be seen by Aunt Wei herself.

He Zhi went out early and returned late every day, spending all day at the Wei family, arranging everything in an orderly manner. After a few days, her face was still pale, and the blue and black under her eyes were even a little thicker, and even the fat powder could not cover it, but her eyes gradually became brighter.

Mrs. He saw all these in her eyes, but she was distressed but helpless. She knew that Wei Lai had become a knot in her daughter's heart, and she couldn't stop her daughter from running to Wei's house, and she couldn't stop it.

For Aunt Wei, He Zhi is really dedicated, and she must go over early every day to guard. This day was no exception, and she went out at dawn, and waited for the carriage to drive from the quiet east of the city to the increasingly noisy south of the city.

He Zhi closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage to recuperate, she was in a nightmare a few days ago, and she was worried about Aunt Wei's condition in the past few days, and she had never rested well, so that now she looks like she is still in good spirits, but she always feels that her mind is confused. Every day on the way back and forth, she seemed to be able to fall asleep by relying on the carriage, but her spirit was tense and she could not rest.

There seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and He Zhi leaned on the carriage and was half asleep, still thinking in her mind: Who rode the horse to the south of the city? Suddenly remembered Xi Qiu's eager call: "Miss, Miss, wake up, look outside, the one who came over on a horse seems to be General Xiao Wei......"

General Xiao Wei?

He Zhigang's brain was still thinking about the sound of horses' hooves for a moment, and then he opened his eyes violently.

By this time the coachman had stopped the carriage and blocked the alley, which was not very wide.

"Don't stop here in front of you, it's in the way." The sound of horses' hooves approached behind, and someone shouted.

It wasn't Wei Lai's voice, but He Zhi was still nervous and hesitant. All the emotions in her heart passed in an instant, but her hand had unconsciously lifted the curtain of the carriage, and when she regained her composure, she had stepped on the carriage bench and got off the carriage and stood on the side of the carriage.

didn't tidy up her clothes, there was no maid to help her, so she stepped on the carriage and stepped on the carriage to get out of the carriage by herself......

The rare gaffe made He Zhi feel embarrassed for a moment, but now was not the time to worry about this. She still remembered Xi Qiu's words, so she hurriedly looked up at the back of the car.

Some people, even if they stand in the middle of a sea of people, can make people see it at first sight. It's not because they're special, it's because they're too important in the eyes of those who seek them.

So as soon as He Zhi looked up, he saw Wei Lai who was blocked behind the carriage.
