Ye Fengmian and Shi Changpu were talking on the city wall, and a small colonel came to report that someone was coming from Bianliang and wanted to find them, Shi Changpu hurriedly pulled Ye Fengmian down the city wall and walked towards the barracks.

The person who came was none other than Yang Zhixin, who was not happy but nervous when he saw Shi Changpu, which made Shi Changpu and Ye Fengmian's hearts lift.

Ye Fengmian took him to his big tent and asked him to sit down, and he slowly told them that something big happened to the Shi family, and he didn't know what the reason was, Mrs. Shi had really passed away, and then Master Shi also passed away, but fortunately, Yan'er stayed by their side and arranged the funeral for them.

This accident really made Shi Changpu feel painful, he hugged his head and cried bitterly, only hating himself for leaving home like this, and he didn't even say his last resignation to his mother, and he never saw his mother again.

A small school heard crying outside the tent, and hurriedly ran to report Shi Baoxing, Shi Baoxing hurriedly ran over and asked what was going on? When Shi Changpu's parents passed away, he was also shocked, Shi Changpu's parents were not very old, they were middle-aged, how could they really pass away.

Shi Changpu cried even more fiercely when he heard Shi Baoxing's question, he took it for granted, it was because of his departure from home that his mother was sad, so that he passed away, his father must have gone with his mother, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he only hated himself for not arranging things properly, so that there was today's disaster.

Who can persuade Shi Changpu now, he can only watch him cry bitterly.

It wasn't until it was dark that Shi Changpu gradually calmed down, and Ye Fengmian prepared incense, candles, and paper money, and Yang Zhixin accompanied him to the outside of the barracks to pay tribute to Mrs. Shi and Master Shi.

In the cold wind, facing this pile of burning paper money, Shi Changpu cried so much that his voice was hoarse, he was now full of regret and couldn't forgive himself.

At this time, Ye Fengmian was even more sad in her heart, she understood that if it weren't for herself, Mrs. Shi would not force him to marry Yan'er, so that Shi Changpu would escape from the house in such a hurry, it was all for her, and at this moment she could do nothing but accompany him to cry in this howling north wind.

But Yang Zhixin didn't know this, he only thought that Shi Changpu was wholeheartedly coming to the border pass, although he regretted it in his heart, but this was loyal to the country, which was pitiful, just to persuade him to mourn and change, or take care of his body, and he had to count on them to guard this pass.

When he returned to the big tent, Ye Fengmian asked Yang Zhixin carefully, what was going on, and how did he find here?

Yang Zhilu said that Shi Changpu had already returned to his big tent, so he said to Ye Fengmian: "I don't know the specific things, I just heard Yan'er say that Mrs. Shi was invited by the queen to take advantage of the banquet, and after coming back, she felt unwell, and she went before dawn." When Master Shi saw that Mrs. Shi was dead, he went to ask to see the emperor, but he didn't want to die after coming back. What is it for, Yan'er doesn't know, she ran to find the emperor and the queen mother, but she didn't get any news, only the queen mother called for a thick funeral, and took Yan'er to accompany her in the palace. Now Yan'er is in the Queen Mother's place, I heard that the battle was won here, and the court has a reward to be transported, so I asked for this order, I thought that I was coming to the border pass, but I didn't want to hear that you were here before I arrived at the Weilu Army, so I came to you as soon as I arrived here. ”

Ye Fengmian frowned: "Are you saying that Mrs. Shi and Master Shi both passed away after returning from the palace?" ”

Yang Zhixin nodded: "Because the matter is not very clear, I didn't dare to tell Brother Shi about it, I was afraid that he would be in a hurry." It's so far away from the capital, no matter how angry he is, it's going to be bad. ”

Ye Fengmian also nodded: "You're right, with his temperament, he will definitely go to the emperor to ask for clarification." ”

Yang Zhixin also frowned: "That's right, although Mrs. Shi said that she was seriously ill, but I have also seen it, and there is nothing unusual about her complexion, I think she just didn't want Brother Shi to go on the expedition to pretend, but I didn't expect that she would really die, how can I say to Brother Shi this time, but mine is not." ”

Ye Fengmian knew that this matter was not so simple, where was Mrs. Shi's illness, she was indeed pretending to scare Shi Changpu. Although Shi Changpu often doubted in his heart, but it was their mother, even if he pretended, he would not disobey her, it was his fault that he ran out in such a hurry, she felt so uncomfortable, she really wanted to find a place where there was no one to cry.

When the tent was raised the next day, a patrolling colonel came to report that Xiao Jiyuan had not returned to the Liao mainland, but had marched to the Yongbian army after attacking the Weilu army, and now he had probably arrived at the Yongbian army.

Shi Baoxing was shocked when he heard this, this Xiao Jiyuan was difficult enough, he actually bypassed the Weilu Army to attack other places.

Ye Fengmian and everyone were busy asking, but do you need to rescue the Yongbian army?

Shi Baoxing shook his head: "No, this Xiao Jiyuan is cunning and changeable, if we abandon here and go to save the Ningbian army, I am afraid that he will come back again." The Liao people are outside the fortress all the year round, and they are good at traveling in the snow, but they are afraid that we will be attacked by the enemy at that time, and we will not be able to protect ourselves. ”

After Shi Baoxing said this, he lowered his head and saw Shi Changpu standing there with his head hanging and not saying a word: "Changpu, what do you think?" ”

Shi Changpu was still sad at this time, he could hear what he was saying anywhere, and when he heard Shi Baoxing ask him, he couldn't answer for a while.

Shi Baoxing frowned: "The eldest husband can afford to let go, since ancient times, there is a saying that 'loyalty and filial piety cannot be perfected', how can you be worthy of the second elder in the sky, how can you be worthy of the people who rely on you to survive here, and how can you be worthy of the vast imperial grace!" ”

Shi Baoxing's three "how can you be worthy" made Shi Changpu cheer up, and his slender eyes also opened at this time, yes, at this critical moment, thinking about his private affairs, how can he still be regarded as a dignified seven-foot man, only after such two battles here, how many families have lost their relatives, and what is he worth.

Shi Baoxing saw that he had already cheered up, but he came to provoke him again: "You are not appointed by the emperor here, and there is no need to stay, if you miss your family and worry about your family, don't worry, you can leave at any time, although the Weilu army is in danger, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city may turn into powder, but this will be here, and the city will definitely be in the city, and the city will die, and you will never retreat." ”

After that, he asked the three armies under his tent: "Who still wants to leave, you can stand up now, and you will not force anyone to stay!" ”

The three armies said in unison: "I am willing to live and die with the general!" ”
