The day of parting came quickly, and three days later, Emperor Wanhua issued a holy decree, requiring the army to be mobilized within five days to go to the border to defend against the Hu people.

Emperor Wanhua did not change his mind in the end, and insisted that Wei Guogong and Wei Xing lead the troops out together, and Wei Guogong knew that this qiē was instructed by King Gong, and King Gong wanted to uproot Wei Guofu in one fell swoop.

As Emperor Wanhua became more and more favored by Concubine Wan and trusted King Gong more and more, the court presented a one-sided situation.

And with the holy decree of the expedition, Emperor Wanhua also repeatedly urged the King of Jin to return to Hengji Island. King Jin procrastinated again and again, and invited the queen mother to intercede, but he couldn't change his brother's mind, and King Gong arranged a nail trouble on Hengji Island, so he had to leave for Hengji Island.

King Jin knew that King Gong was going to make a move, and at the same time, he was anxious and worried, but he was helpless. He offered his wife to accompany him to Hengji Island, but was refused. Emperor Wanhua forcibly detained Meng Yuyan in Shengjing on the grounds that he didn't want him to ignore the business because of his children's personal affairs, which was undoubtedly to use Meng Yuyan as a pawn to blackmail the King of Jin. This made King Jin feel a little more annoyed in his heart, but he had to obey the order.

The queen mother knew that the emperor was confused, and no longer persuaded him, only chanted and chanted Buddha in the Buddhist hall every day, praying for God to bless the great Yong country, and the queen was grounded for no reason and was not allowed to step out of the palace. Emperor Wanhua also named Concubine Wan as a noble concubine and asked her to manage the harem on behalf of the empress.

In a short period of time, King Gong held the former dynasty and the harem in his hands.

When the army was opened, it was also the time when the king of Jin left Beijing. Everyone can see clearly that Dayong is about to change.

Due to the rush of time, the excess four seasons lotus paste was not made in time. An Ruolan had no choice but to stuff a lot of wound medicine and qi-replenishing pills into it when she was helping the guards pack up.

Although she wanted to prepare a few good food, clothing and other items for him, it was inconvenient to carry too much luggage for the march and war, so she had to carefully select and pack some of the most commonly used and practical things for him.

The night before parting, the couple was daunted to death. They were all reluctant, so they just hugged the su and said it all night.

The next day, the sky was clear. The blue sky is like a wash, it is a rare good weather, and it is also a suitable day for a long trip.

Sending the guards to the gate of the city, An Ruolan had red eyes. I put those familiar advice on my lips again.

"I know you're serious and don't care about anything. Even if you eat and sleep, you will forget to sleep, but you need strength to fight, and you need spirit to march and arrange, how can you fight a good war if you don't eat well and sleep well? I don't care how busy you are and how urgent the situation is, in short, you must eat and sleep well, otherwise you don't have to come back to see me. ”

"I've prepared a lot of good medicine for injuries, and you don't have to save it. Big and small injuries just work. Don't worry, I've prepared enough. Even if you use it with your father, it's enough. There are also some other ones that you can share with your subordinates, and it is better to have two more friends in the army than two more enemies. ”

"There are also sachets, I know that you always keep your body when you are on Hengji Island, and I have prepared several for you this time, all of which have the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing qi, and you can put them next to your pillow when you sleep, which can help you sleep peacefully."

"Because it's in the barracks, all the armor you wear, I didn't prepare it for you, ** prepared five sets, all of which are the softest, most comfortable and durable fabrics, you wear them first, and then I will ask someone to send them to you if they are damaged." There is also a set of gold silk soft armor, which was brought back from the sea by my father-in-law before I got married, and I also brought it to you, you must remember to wear it at any time, I heard my father-in-law say that the soft armor can't even shoot through the arrow. ”

"I heard that the west is very hot during the day but very cold at night, you must pay attention to keeping warm at night, don't get caught in the wind chill, the soft armor can still keep warm, and you can wear it when you are resting."

"And ......"

Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, but no matter how much she told her, she didn't think it was enough. As long as it wasn't in a place where she could see it, even if it was properly arranged, she still wasn't at ease, not to mention that he was going to the battlefield.

Wei Xing has been holding her hand tightly, without any impatience, and his eyes are full of deep love and reluctance precipitated by parting.

Staring at his deep and clear eyes, An Ruolan finally felt a little more at ease, and all his worries finally turned into one sentence: "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Wei Xing nodded solemnly, tightening her fingers.

He didn't say anything, but he knew she understood.

The horn sounded, and when it was time to set off, An Ruolan subconsciously clenched his hand, and the next moment forced himself to let go slowly.

She had never known it was so difficult to let go of her fingers.

She couldn't suppress the reluctance and worry rolling in her heart, but she still tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Go ahead." ”

At this moment, she was like standing on the edge of a cliff that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and the mountain wind gushing from the bottom of the cliff blew her bloody, but she wanted to stand on the edge of the cliff and make an indifferent gesture.

The mountain wind is the pain of parting.

How could Wei Xing not understand the reluctance and suffering in her heart, because he was the same. In the past, he never thought that he would regard the private affairs of his children as more important than protecting his family and defending the country, and he knew that he would sneer at it, but now, he wanted to be a person who he looked down on, if it weren't for the precarious blood in his heart, I am afraid that he would have thrown away his armor when she held back tears.

All kinds of tastes in his heart, the surging reluctance and love made him abandon the past shame and embarrassment, in front of everyone, he hugged her tightly into his arms, and kissed her passionately in the corner of her forehead, until the mother next to him reminded him to return to the team.

An Ruolan misestimated her courage, and when he turned to leave, the corners of her clothes fluttering in the air, she still couldn't help but burst into tears. But she didn't call him, just watched him return to the front of the group and watched him turn on his horse with great agility.

Wei Guogong, as the chief general of the army this time, announced the departure, and the mighty army went west along the official road.

An Ruolan slowly followed behind the army, walking in the dust, she didn't know how long and how far she walked, until the flag disappeared from the horizon, she didn't stop.

She didn't have anything she could do for him, but at least for the road. She wanted to go with him.

Wei Xing did not look back, he was afraid that once he turned back, he would never be able to return to the team. Wei Guogong rode over and patted him on the shoulder. Ignore his red eyes.

The boy had tears and did not flick, but he forgave his son for his weakness this time.

When Duchess Wei Guo found An Ruolan, she was unbearable, her clothes and dresses were blackened by dust, and she couldn't see the original color, and her face was even more gray, with tear stains. There is no trace of the delicate appearance of the young lady.

Duchess Wei Guo was shocked and distressed, so she got into the carriage and moistened her with tea. wiped her face and persuaded her in her mouth: "Mother knows that you are reluctant in your heart, but this kind of thing will often happen in the future, you have to get used to it." Otherwise, how are you going to get through it? ”

She didn't say the comforting words that fooled people. Because she knew that her daughter-in-law was a sensible person and strong, and she didn't need those useless comforts.

An Ruolan smiled gratefully, took the handkerchief and wiped her face, and said, "Mother don't worry, what I know is only the first time, and it is inevitable that I can't help it." It made my mother laugh. ”

Duchess Wei Guo shook her head and smiled, and said, "There is nothing that you can't laugh at." When I was your age, my father-in-law cried every time he went on an expedition. And I have to quarrel with him. You have done a good job, you are stronger than me, and you are more reasonable than me, and being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in Wei Xing's life. ”

This is what she said in her heart, although her son is quite dependent on his daughter-in-law, even more than her mother, but she can't hate it at all, because her son is more filial and considerate than before, respects her, and her daughter-in-law is also well-behaved and filial like a daughter, and she is full of only joy.

An Ruolan was unconscious, blushed slightly and said: "Mother has always been the greatest woman in my heart, Ruolan is far inferior." ”

In her previous life, she only felt that her mother-in-law was vulgar, no matter how good her mother-in-law was to her, she looked down on her, and now, especially when she just sent her husband on the expedition, she only had infinite admiration in her heart.

Behind every soldier who spilled his blood, there is a woman who is looking forward to it day and night, they pretend to be strong during the day, tossing and turning at night, gathering less and leaving more pain makes them resolute and brave, how many days and nights of fear, how many tears of joy and tears of reunion after a long absence, everyone who can persevere is worthy of admiration.

Compared with women who can only plot and calculate in the back house, their silent waiting and inclusive love are the most beautiful.

Anluolan is proud to be a part of it.

Duchess Wei Guo was moved when she saw her eyes that became brighter and firmer after being washed with tears. She is a person from the past, and she knows what such a look represents, and she can't help but feel pity when she is moved.

Pulling the person into her arms, Duchess Wei patted her back and said softly: "If you want to cry, cry, everyone comes like this, no one will laugh at you." ”

The warm embrace made An Ruolan's nose sore, but she didn't cry, she just hugged her mother-in-law, who was also reluctant at the bottom of her heart. The mother-in-law must have been more worried than her, because her husband and son were on the battlefield, so she couldn't let her worry any more.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law comforted each other, and the distance between their hearts took a big step.

Back in the city, An Ruolan did not immediately return to the Weiguo Mansion, but went to the South City Gate, and the King of Jin set off from the South City Gate today, and she was going to see him off.

Duchess Wei Guo was not worried about her and went with her.

When he arrived at the city gate of Denan, King Jin had not left and was saying goodbye to his family and friends.

King Jin first explained clearly to a trusted friend and subordinates, and then spoke to his wife and children. In the past few years, he has not been able to accompany Meng Yuyan, but the relationship between the husband and wife has eased a lot, especially after An Ruolan got married, the relationship between the two has recovered a lot.

At this time, King Jin's eyes were full of reluctance, and he held Meng Yuyan's hand and whispered: "I'm not in Shengjing, don't be careful when you act, if there is anything difficult, go into the palace to find the queen mother to help, although the royal brother now listens to King Gong's words, he is still a little afraid of the queen mother,"

Meng Yuyan nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about me, there are also people placed by King Gong on Hengji Island, you must also be careful in your actions, don't fall for those conspiracies, and beware of someone plotting." ”

King Jin's chest was hot, he nodded cautiously, and told his two sons again, and then with a little regret, he planned to set off.

An Ruolan waited until they were all finished before getting out of the carriage and walking over, giving a salute and saying with a smile: "I heard that my uncle left Beijing today, Ruolan came to see you off." ”

Seeing her, King Jin and Meng Yuyan were very excited, but in front of the public, it was inconvenient for them to make suspicious moves, so they could only suppress their joy and be moved, and said with a faint smile: "Ruolan has a heart." ”

Seeing An Ruolan's wolf appearance, and thinking that the army was set aside today, and the guard punishment was also among them, Meng Yuyan couldn't help but ask: "You just sent the guard punishment over?" ”

Meng Yuyan was very dissatisfied with the matter of the guard's expedition, but she was a deep house woman and couldn't even keep her husband, so what else could she talk about? I can only watch my daughter suffer.

An Ruolan didn't hide it, and smiled and bowed his head.

King Jin frowned, but he didn't say anything. He had also been a soldier and knew his duties as a man, as a soldier, so he was able to immediately defend the decision to be punished, despite his dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, although An Ruolan was reluctant, there was no resentment and grief, and King Jin and Meng Yuyan felt better.

Duchess Wei Guo also came over to greet King Jin and his wife, wishing King Jin a safe journey. Anyway, the current Weiguo Mansion and the Jin Wangfu are grasshoppers on a rope in the eyes of the world, and they don't need to avoid a lot.

It's just that An Ruolan glanced at it and found that except for some officials, no one else came to see off King Jin, even the Wenxin Marquis Mansion and Meng Guofu, which made her feel uneasy.

King Jin saw her thoughts and said with a smile: "Now is a special period, the fewer people involved the better." ”

An Ruolan nodded in understanding.

The situation of the Jin king's faction and the neutral faction in the court is becoming more and more dangerous, many officials of the Jin king's faction have been dismissed and investigated for trivial matters, and a few big trees in the middle have also been hinted at returning to their hometowns, and more and more people have switched to King Gong's command.

This is not a lack of human affection, but a force of circumstances.

There are outsiders, although King Jin has a lot of things to say to An Ruolan, but he has to hold it in his stomach. Glancing deeply at his daughter, he only said a few polite words, and then got into the carriage and left.

Seeing her relatives go away again, An Ruolan's heart swelled with sadness again. She also realized her own insignificance again, and although she did it all over again, she was still powerless to change many things.

and Meng Yuyan's mother and son comforted each other a few words, and the Duchess of Weiguo took An Ruolan back to Weiguo Mansion and released the noisy Wei Shao.

In the family, Wei Shao was the most opposed to Wei Xing going to the border, and she even clamored to go on the expedition instead of her brother, but as a last resort, Duchess Wei Guo had to lock her in her room, and she didn't even dare to let her go, for fear that she would really follow the army to the western border.
