Chapter 107: Farewell

The southeast incident caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although the incident happened suddenly, but there are traces to follow, this year is a cold winter that has been rare for decades, and the snow has come exceptionally early, not to mention the north, even if there are blizzards in various parts of the south, this is not yet the New Year, there has been frequent news of frost damage.

At the same time, this also led to the premature closure of the sea in the southeast coastal areas, the sea surface is full of ice, fishermen can not go out to sea to fish, pearl fishing, those sea countries scattered all over the coastal waters, the island area on which to survive is narrow, the land area is fragmented, can not grow food at all, self-sufficient.

If it is an ordinary year, although the winter is long and difficult, if enough food is stored to survive the fishing ban period, all difficulties can be solved when spring comes.

Only this year, the snow demon is menacing, the cold wave is pressing, and it is expected that it will take at least three or four months for the ice at sea to show signs of melting, and if this is the case, a large number of people will definitely die of famine.

In addition, the lack of resources at sea is not only a problem of food, but also a lack of cotton clothes to survive the winter, and now it seems that such cold weather is showing signs of further deterioration, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death if they delay.

Under such a persecutive situation, the leader of the sea country brazenly launched the war again, although it was menacing, but it was also extremely helpless.

After all, in previous years, although there were constant wars with the Yan Dynasty, the private trade between the people was still very close, and they exchanged precious sea pearls and seafood for food and clothing, and bought weapons and timber with gold and silver, although the price was not low, but they were also happy.

Although their country is small, they also want to try to make themselves stronger, buying weapons to defend against war, buying timber to build houses and warships, over the years, they have witnessed their gradual growth step by step from the 'southern barbarian people' to the current 'sea bandits'.

In the last war, both sides suffered heavy losses, and the signing of the contract also had the meaning of recuperating after a truce, but this time, natural and man-made disasters continued, and if this continued, they would have to starve to death and freeze to death.

Chen Wei has always paid close attention to the dynamics in the southeast, and has planted a lot of spies, but now that the civil strife in the sea has just ended, his vitality has been greatly damaged, and he should be unable to fight again.

Therefore, although he knew that the other party would inevitably make a comeback when the time came, he should also be more than capable at the moment, so he didn't take this matter too seriously.

Now, Qingjia is pregnant, and all his thoughts are on her and the unborn child, where is there any mind **** to pay attention to this.

No, it was precisely because of such carelessness that the thunder was shocked when he heard the news today.

The outbreak of the Southeastern War at such a critical time is really tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and making matters worse.

Chen Wei went back to the house, Qingjia just opened the window, looked outside with a surprised face, and said to Chunhong: "Hey, is this snowing?" ā€

Huadu is located in central and southern China, with four distinct seasons all year round, and although the winter is cold, there is very little snow, and the last time was five years ago, before she met Chen Wei.

Qingjia was very surprised, this year's snow came unexpectedly early, even if there was snow in previous years, it was mostly after Chinese New Year's Eve, and the snow was not so big.

Fluttering and sprinkled, wrapped in silver.

Chunhong hurriedly brought her a thick cloak, for fear that she would catch a cold and feel uncomfortable, and muttered: "My good lady, don't patronize and watch the snow and pay more attention to your body, if you want to have a headache and brain fever, the general may be more anxious and angry." ā€

Qingjia was on the rise, Chunhong tied her cloak like a puppet and then carefully helped her up, but before the master and servant could walk to the door, they saw Chen Wei returning with the snowstorm.

Dressed in a silver robe with a black fox coat, his face is like jade, his temperament is noble, and his long body is jade, like a heaven and a man, floating out of the dust.

"Why is it so heavy outside?"

He took Qingjia from Chunhong's hand, and then casually covered her with the big hood behind her cloak, which suddenly made her look a lot more delicate.

"You see you don't know how to hold an umbrella when you come back, and you don't know if your clothes get wet, so what if you get sick."

Qing Jia saw that his shirt was mixed with a little snow, so he laboriously tiptoed and reached out to pat him, but before he finished, Chen Wei held his hand, and a warm kiss fell on her eyebrows.

"How could I get sick with you."

Qingjia saw that he was making fun of himself, so he turned around and ignored him, but he happened to be in his arms, Chunhong and the other maids didn't dare to disturb when they saw that the couple were intimate, and quietly retreated.

The two of them said incomprehensible words for a while, and the atmosphere was very quiet and warm.

Just as Qing Jia was immersed in the endless warmth of meeting and snuggling, Chen Wei suddenly changed his words and said: "Jiajia, there are changes in the southeast, and I am afraid that there will be a war in the near future." ā€

At this time, Qing Jiazheng untied the jade pendant on his waist and played with it in his hand, when he heard this, his heart suddenly froze, and as soon as his hand slipped, the jade pendant fell from his hand to the ground and shattered in half.

Qingjia was stunned for a moment, then struggled to get up and bend down to pick it up, but was hugged by Chen Wei's shoulders, and in an instant, flustered was not enough to describe her helplessness at the moment.

"Jiajia ......"

He looked at her instantly pale face worriedly, and his heart was also troubled.

Qing Jia settled down, looked at him, wanted to speak several times, and finally turned his head sideways, his heart was like numbness.

What should she say?

If it is a woman who understands righteousness, then she should tell him righteously that she will not be a burden to him, let him go to the southeast with peace of mind, for the sake of his family and country, for the sake of the people, expel the thieves, and protect his loyalty.

But......

She touched her belly, and the child seemed to sense his mother's mixed emotions and became agitated.

Qingjia's hand unconsciously grabbed the placket on his chest, gradually tightened, and the bone joints were white everywhere, which could see the entanglement and struggle in her heart.

The righteousness of the country, she knows, and she understands the loyalty to the country.

However, she is just an ordinary woman after all, the battlefield is so dangerous, if she can, she really doesn't want to repeat the frightened days of the past years.

What's more, she now has a child.

She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes already wet: "...... Will you go? ā€

Chen Wei heard the uneasiness in her tone, and there was a throbbing pain in his heart, and he hurriedly comforted: "This matter is still undecided, and it doesn't necessarily have to be me." ā€

Qing Jia didn't feel much more relaxed because of his words, and his tone was quiet: "Why are you going to fight again, didn't you sign a contract......

Obviously, it didn't take long to stop, why at this time.

Chen Wei was stung by the grievance in her words, and opened his lips and didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a long time, he reached out to hug her, stroked her long hair, and said: "The southeast sea country, the land of projectiles, this year the sea is too early, they have been wars and natural disasters for a long time, food and clothing are short and cannot survive the winter, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, so they naturally want to find an opportunity." ā€

Qingjia didn't understand this, and he couldn't understand it, but he just fell on his knees, and his feeling of loss was beyond words.

Chen Wei told her the current situation as if telling a story: "...... No one was born a robber, and in the early years, the relationship between the imperial court and them was not so uncontrollable, and although the relationship was not close, there was still some official trade between them. ā€

"The island they lived on was too small to grow grain and cotton, so they had to exchange food and clothing with the imperial court. It's just that at that time, the officials within the imperial court were very corrupt, and they tried their best to squeeze each other in each other's business transactions, and the often very valuable Donghai sea ginseng could not be exchanged for many things necessary for life. ā€

His voice seemed to have been soaked in ice and snow, clear and sweet, which made people suddenly lose their attention when they listened to it, and Qingjia also listened carefully, this really seemed to be a story, a very distant and sad story.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Later, they gradually reduced their trade with the imperial court officials and began to trade directly with private merchants, which was naturally not tolerated by the law. ā€

"In the eleventh year of Yong'an, officials and businessmen in the southeast colluded to seize and seize several of their cargo ships, in order to take them for themselves and fill their private pockets. Completely enraged, they formed a militia and guards, wounded the local court officials, and recaptured their merchant ships. When this matter reached the imperial court, the whole country was furious, and the emperor sent troops to crusade, which was more than ten years. ā€

Qingjia gradually became absorbed when he heard it, and couldn't help but be substituted for it, and there was even some injustice behind him: "How can this be......"

Chen Wei smiled and touched her belly, and in an instant, the little guy in her stomach kicked over and had a 'close contact' with his palm.

"The war has been protracted, and the imperial court's troops have gone batch after batch but have never been able to attack for a long time," I don't know what came to mind, the corner of Chen Wei's lips pulled out a sarcastic smile: "The so-called 'contracts' signed are not countable." ā€

Although they have opposing positions and each is its own master, Chen Wei is not disgusted with the people of the sea country, and no one wants to live in a stable life, licking blood all day long.

In recent years, there have been many wars, and both normal and private trade have been affected, and they cannot obtain the resources they rely on for survival by fair and reasonable means, so they naturally have to fight and rob them.

After all, survival is the most basic human instinct.

It's just that the war is too inopportune to happen at this time.

He doesn't love war, but he is also not afraid of war, but he can't leave her alone.

Qingjia listened to the endless sentimentality, but he didn't know whether to feel sorry for himself or be indignant at the unfair treatment of those pirates.

The mood is really complicated, it is clear that those hateful 'robbers' are about to separate their husband and wife.

But after listening to Chen Wei's complaints, she unexpectedly didn't hate them.

So Qingjia only forced out one sentence in the end: "...... So can you not go? ā€

Chen Wei looked at her, speechless for a while, and wanted to answer her: Well, okay, I won't go.

But this is not up to him, and according to the current situation, I am afraid it will not be as he wishes.

If it weren't for the delicate situation now, Fu Anrong would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and would definitely say something in the emperor's ear and let him go on the expedition.

As long as he is out of the Dragon Court, it will be convenient for Tang Younian to attack the prince, after all, he exists as a variable, and no one can figure out his attitude, if he really has the heart to intervene in this battle for succession, then maybe there will be some 'accidents' that affect the overall situation.

Second, Chen Wei's departure from the dynasty is naturally conducive to Fu Anrong's solid favor and concentrating on dealing with Gu Yan.

How could she let go of such an opportunity?

Chen Wei was silent, Qingjia couldn't bear to embarrass him, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I won't ask, what you say is what." ā€

This is not helpless, Qingjia knows that he is not to blame.

……

On the second day, under the holy decree, the general Chen Wei ordered 30,000 troops to march to the southeast.

Qingjia was unexpectedly calm when she received the news, perhaps because she had already prepared in her heart, so she didn't cry tears and make people feel distressed.

Chen Wei is dressed in a military uniform, with a tall posture and a heroic spirit.

Qingjia stretched out his hand and touched the armor on his body, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you like this......

Chen Wei couldn't control the strong reluctance in his heart, but he still had to comfort her: "Jiajia, if you want to cry, cry." ā€

Seeing her holding back tears to send him away like this is really tender and difficult to let go.

Qingjia shook his head lightly, his eyes were firm, and said: "I want to be a mother, and being a mother is strong, so I can't shed tears casually." ā€

Yes, she's going to have a baby, so be a good role model.

But......

Qingjia still couldn't control his reluctance and sorrow, and said, "Then can I go with me?" ā€

She looked at him expectantly, asking so cutely, so patheticly.

Hearing this, he collapsed before her emotions, stretched out his hand to hug her, and said in a deep voice: "This is just a temporary farewell, I will come back before you give birth." ā€

No matter what the cost, I won't leave you alone.

It's just that......

Why hasn't he left yet, but he's already thinking about her.

Qing Jia held back his tears, choked in his throat and couldn't speak, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Okay...... Let's go, don't miss the hour. ā€

God knows, every word she says at the moment is so heavy.

Chen Wei slowly squatted down, half-kneeling on the ground, his face against his high bulging abdomen, and was silent for a long time.

Qingjia's hand stopped in mid-air, and it took a long time to gently place it on top of his head.

"You've got to come back safely, you know?"

I don't know if it's easier to be sentimental when you're pregnant with a child, it's not the first time you've faced such a separation, but you're reluctant to be sad at any time.

Chen Wei lowered his eyes: "Okay." ā€

……

At the moment of separation, Qing Jiamu sent him away.

The vast snow curtain covered his departing back, and she couldn't wait to catch up, the ends of the earth, with him.

The child in the womb is also moving in the womb at the moment, as if he is also waving goodbye.

Qingjia put one hand on the place where the child was agitated, and said softly: "Are you reluctant to be a father?" ā€

The only thing that answered her was the silence of the falling snow, and there was a murmur:

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Mother too. (To be continued.) )
