Chapter 14: A Crisis Strikes
How did Li Weizhen appear at the border?
This is one of the four princes of the capital, born in the Hou Mansion, and he is famous, to put it mildly, there are not too many people who hold his stinky feet, and he is extremely noble when he doesn't do anything in the capital, why did he come to such a place at such a time?
Lan Jiayin saw this suddenly, in addition to the unbearable disgust, he also secretly felt strange in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Their shelter from the rain is not small, but the focus is on the construction of parapets and gates, so the hall is very simple, not very wide, Mingshun speaks in a small voice, she naturally hears every word clearly.
"Quarrel with your family?" Don't look at Lan Jiayin with a straight face, looking cold, but in fact, he is secretly guessing in his heart, "Li Er is wearing a good skin, and he has always been a favored object in his family, so he won't be abandoned because of a quarrel, right?" ”
She was secretly thinking there, in fact, the real answer was really not complicated at all, the reason why Li Weizhen would ask for the drudgery of coming to the border to Xuanping Hou to announce the decree before the holy car was just to find an opportunity to meet Lan Jiayin in the west.
Even if he has learned the news of the engagement of the beautiful woman, Li Weizhen still can't let go of Lan Jiayin in his heart, even if he is no longer someone who is rightfully around him, but he still can't help it, he wants to see with his own eyes this girl who is honest and smart, and has left a mark in his heart, how is he doing now?
Li Weizhen was full of bitterness, gritted his teeth all the way to the west, no matter how hard and tired he was, he didn't say a word, even if he was sick, he never asked for a few days off, he just wanted to hurry up and finish his errand, so that he could do what he wanted to do.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that when I was going back, I originally planned to make a detour to Pingjing to meet the woman I had to meet, but I ran into it halfway in advance!
Looking at Lan Jiayin's low-key appearance of dressing up in disguise and only bringing a few cronies, Li Weizhen guessed that most of her came after the Xuanping Hou Shizi in the army in front of her.
With this heart-wrenching cognition, Mu Lingxuan's peerless appearance became clearer and clearer in his mind, after all, this prince had been in the capital for a long time, and the aristocratic circle in the capital was so big, and most of the people who came and went were familiar faces that they had seen since childhood, and when they suddenly came to the face, everyone couldn't help but pay attention to it.
For Mu Lingxuan, who has met several times at the banquet, Li Weizhen is quite impressed, who is not only the heir of the princes of one party, but also has a handsomeness that is not inferior to him, such a good man with Zhilan Yuxiu, it is really difficult to ignore.
At that time, Li Weizhen also admired the handsomeness of the prince of Xuanping Hou, who would have thought that the young general he admired and admired actually became Lan Jiayin's second fiancé!
originally thought that the reputation of the divorced women was damaged, which made it difficult for these poor women to find a good mother-in-law, and almost had to drag on for several years, and only when the wind calmed down did they find a distant place to marry, so Li Weizhen always had a vague expectation in his heart.
How can God be ruthless and retribution is unpleasant, Lan Jiayin not only quickly decided on her in-laws, but also the candidate for her fiancé is only better than herself, not worse.
"How did the girl who originally belonged to me lose it?" Li Weizhen really couldn't figure it out, he just felt that the world was spinning, and the pain in his chest was unbearable, and the reason why he could still stand without falling down was because he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Lan Jiayin, so he barely relied on his heart to hold on.
At this moment, no matter how unwilling Li Weizhen was to admit it, he could only smile bitterly, "It seems that Qin Zhen really likes Xuanping Hou Shizi." ”
"I just don't know, did she like me as much as she does now?"
Breaking free from his wandering thoughts, Li Weizhen even seemed to lose the courage to look at Lan Jiayin again, he looked at the figure of his beloved woman, bowed deeply from afar, and said apologetically: "The subordinate is rude, please don't be angry with Lan Gongzi, this official is just sheltering from the rain here, and after the rain stops, he will leave immediately, and he will never stay longer." ”
From the chaotic and incoherent words of these three people, the smart Song Qiaofang is not difficult to hear the problem, and after thinking about it for a while, can you still know that the noble son of the Qing noble son who is sick in front of him and can blow it to the ground with a gust of wind is Li Weizhen, the second son of Anxin Houfu who divorced Lan Jiayin when the Lan family was in trouble? !
She already got along with Lan Jiayin very well, plus Hu Qinghui couldn't rest assured that she was a friend before leaving, and she had turned her back on people, and she had asked her for good words several times, only to let Song Qiaofang not see outside, so she treated Lan Jiayin as her own sister, and didn't let Lan Jiayin be lonely and lonely.
Song Qiaofang has been working hard to do a good job since she agreed, yes, the relationship between her and Lan Jiayin is getting better and better, this will humiliate and bully the man who has bullied her sister is in front of her, how can she be a sister and ignore it?
The anger churned all the way from the bottom of his heart to his throat, and he was about to say something to ridicule this negative man, a few unpleasant words about the soft bones, but Lan Jiayin saw the clue in time, pulled her hard, and glared at her with a look, it was really fierce, what Song Qiaofang wanted to say, under the shock of this look, all of them were forgotten.
Seeing that the other party didn't even bother to give a reply, Li Weizhen really wanted to walk up to Lan Jiayin and ask a few words face-to-face, it didn't matter whether he was dead or alive, but he was looking for relief.
What's the matter, now there are people all around, and it's not a place where you can do more entanglement.
Even if he can be embarrassed, what about Lan Jiayin?
If the matter reaches the ears of the Mu family, how will she be?
Thinking about it like this, Li Weizhen was most discouraged, and he couldn't bear to be rejected by his future in-laws, so he could only grit his teeth and hold the little girl's arm tightly, almost using all his strength to sit back in place.
He pinched the tender flesh on his leg with his hand, and he couldn't faint through the pain, and in the eyes of others, he just lowered his head and didn't talk to anyone, looking depressed and sad.
Following Li Weizhen's side, except for the two literary and historical scholars, most of them are guards and sons, these people are all from good backgrounds of noble families, and they are clear about the ideas of the Lan and Li families.
Seeing this, these people are all bright-eyed, secretly excited in their hearts, looking forward to the further development of things, I have to say that since ancient times, gossip is not limited to women.
Seeing the eyes of those on the other side, back and forth on Lan Jiayin and Li Weizhen, Mu Jiu was in a hurry!
He followed Mu Lingxuan to the capital, and he had seen Li Weizhen several times, knowing that this was his master's number one rival, and he still remembered the things of his concubines and children at the beginning, and the people who were supposed to be in the capital suddenly appeared at the border, and he also looked like he had no feelings for Miss Lan Wu, Mu Jiu couldn't help but panic.
Look at this kid again, he looks like a weak chicken who is soft and sick, his little face is pale and his body is erratic, it happens to be the kind of little white face that women love the most!
In case Miss Lan Wu is bewitched by this male vixen, and the old relationship between the two recurs, isn't it her own son who suffers? !
Mu Jiu, who automatically made up for his own prince with a green hat, was really like being in the cold winter for the thirty-ninth day of the lunar month, and it was cold from the top of his head to the center of his feet, and he shivered!
Secretly screaming 'not good'!
grabbed Mu Qi beside him, walked quickly to the corner of the door, and the two put their heads together and discussed in a low voice.
After a while, I saw Mu Jiu go out, but Mu Qi was vigilant, and urged Ma Long to find a house for people to rest, according to Mu Jiu's statement, this was to take the opportunity to separate Lan Jiayin and Li Weizhen, so that the two would not have a chance to contact.
Mu Qi has been by Mu Lingxuan's side for six or seven years, and there are countless difficult things and big things that have been done under his hands, but none of them are similar to the things in front of him, he is not only wary of Li Weizhen, who is silent, but also pays attention to Lan Jiayin's expression, he is really nervous all over his body, and after a while, the clothes on his back are soaked with sweat.
The outpost occupies a lot of land, but the renovated residence is not rich, Ma Long and Mu Qi are good friends, and Lan Jiayin is his master's fiancée, so he quickly contributed his house to let Lan Jiayin and Song Qiaofang live.
Seeing that Jinwen and Sister Ling followed the little soldier who led the way upstairs to clean up the bed for their young lady, Ma Long vacated the other two better rooms and gave Li Weizhen and his party a rest.
After the tea, both sides cleaned up the house, and then they went everywhere, and the extremely awkward atmosphere in the hall finally ended with the departure of the people on both sides.
Ma Long let out a sigh of relief, looked at the two teams of people who went upstairs on the left and right, shook his head and lamented, "Alas, the wealthy family, grievances and hatreds, what a living drama!" ”
After sighing, he also went out of the hall door, went to the kitchen first, and told him to cancel tonight's banquet, just let people send the food directly to his personal room, and save these people from meeting again, and it is uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
Out of the kitchen, Ma Long beckoned a few of his subordinates, according to the routine rules, checked all over the outpost, and finally climbed the sentry tower and told the sentry, "It's raining heavily tonight, the sight is not good, you can pay more attention, the two groups of people living in the station are all very promising, at this juncture, we must not make any mistakes." ”
Fortunately, it is the combination of the old and the new who are on the sentry here, and the two veterans are grinning casually, while the two recruits are very serious and respond loudly.
These two children are not very old, and they were very serious when they got the advice of their own team leaders, and they really widened their eyes this night, and they didn't dare to neglect their duties at all.
Seeing that the middle of the night had passed, the rain had barely stopped, and there was nothing wrong, the two veterans were snoring one after another, and the little soldiers under the eaves thought that the night had been spent safely.
As soon as my heart was relieved, I listened to the soldiers who went to patrol the parapet and shouted, "Ah! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The soldier under the eaves rushed out suddenly, he poked his head out of the arrow stack, rubbed his eyes, and repeatedly made sure that there was indeed a red light in the distance, and immediately shouted again, and let people ring the alarm bell, and with the exclamation of the four of them, it was not long before the whole outpost was lit up with candles.
Ma Long and the hundred people under him are Mu Lingxuan's subordinates, all of whom are good men who have fought on the front line, so although they are nervous but orderly, they listen to the chief in the dark, and the captain of Wu each assigns tasks, who guards the wall, who goes to the arrow battlement, the door of the warehouse is also opened by the warehouse manager, and the weapons stored inside are distributed little by little.
"How long has the light been on?" Malone asked.
The soldier immediately replied, "It's been a quarter of an hour now." ”
"It's only half an hour from there, even if it rains badly, it won't last long, I don't know if it's a false alarm over there, or if there is really an enemy attack?" Ma Long muttered a few words in his heart, and he couldn't help but praise the two vigilant soldiers.
Then he assigned a new task, "The situation will be determined in a while, you two will go and light the beacon fire as soon as possible, we are already in the mainland, and the enemy has run here, either he is dizzy, or there is a big conspiracy, and the news must be spread as soon as possible." ”
"Do it well, you will be rewarded when the matter is over!"
The eyes of the two little soldiers lit up instantly, and they answered the word 'order' in a loud voice, and they both leaned on the parapet wall to peek out.
Marlon went downstairs and ordered three clever brothers, and asked these three to take advantage of the enemy's pre-arrival skills, hurry out on horseback to lurk, and if it is really an enemy attack, they will hurry to report for help, if there is a misunderstanding, they will come back and continue to sleep.
"Horse team rate, is there any hostile situation?" Li Weizhen, who had been tossing and turning and had never been able to sleep, was the first to rush to Ma Long's side, and he also had two capable guards by his side.
Seeing this, Ma Long's heart suddenly lit up, "God, why did I forget?!" This master also brought a lot of people, so this will not just be able to top. ”
Thinking about it like this, his attitude towards Li Weizhen couldn't help but be much better, and he said warmly: "Not necessarily, the sentry who kept vigil on the parapet saw that the warning light ten miles away was lit, whether it was a misunderstanding or a real hostile situation, it will be clear in a while." ”
At this point, Li Weizhen really didn't know what it was like, Xu was too emotional, and everyone was numb.
He heard about Mu Lingxuan's team in front of him, and it was less than two days in front of him, and the jealousy and unwillingness accumulated along the way were like a fire, burning him restlessly, and he wanted to see Mu Lingxuan right now, no matter what else, at least he could ask if this person was sincere to Lan Jiayin, right?
Li Weizhen, who has always been calm and indifferent, couldn't suppress his impulse, he privately led a team of strong people to go first, but as a result, Mu Lingxuan didn't catch up, but he met Lan Jiayin by mistake, fortunately, he didn't die, in this fart outpost, he encountered an enemy attack!
This tossing in the middle of the night, if it is really a misunderstanding, it is fine, in case there is really an enemy attack, just like this, the small outpost guarded by less than two hundred people, can it be supported?
Even if it can hold on, how long?
If one is captured by the enemy, what will Lan Jiayin do in the outpost?
