Chapter 404: Returning (1)
Tongguan is the gate of Qin, Jin and Henan, the terrain is very dangerous, the surrounding mountains are even mountains, the peaks are even peaks, the valleys are deep and the precipices are absolute, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, the middle passes a narrow sheep intestine path, only allows a car and a horse to come and go, it is the place where the soldiers must fight since ancient times. And Tongguan is directly the throat of the land of Shaanxi, if the Tongguan is broken, the land of Shaanxi is flat.
Now the land of Guanshan belongs to the imperial court, but in fact it has become a feudal town, and it is mainly up to the Zhe family to have the final say. The Zhe family sits in Hanzhong, although Zhe Yanzhi is in power, but his mother Murong Zuilei and aunt Murong Miyan control him very strictly, and will never let him run away from the banks of the Yellow River again. After introspection, Zhi Yanzhi also felt ashamed, recruited troops, devoted himself to running the Guanshan region, and after striving for strength, he led his troops to the north and rescued his uncle Zhi Keqiu and his brother Zhi Yanwen.
Thinking of his uncle's pleading, he couldn't help it, although he was an uncle, what was the difference between him and his father. When his father died early, his uncle took his orphan and widow home and treated him like his own son. Now he is trapped in Hudi, but he is powerless to save him, so he can only look far away to the north and wash his face with tears.
Because the Song was heavily damaged by Jin, the Western Xia was not willing to be lonely, and successively attacked the northwest frontier and captured several cities. When Zhi Yanzhi heard this, he immediately sent troops, and he contacted the Northwest Seed Family, Yao Family, Yao Gu, and attacked in three ways, and the Western Xia soldiers were defeated. As a result, although there was friction in the borderlands, it was a lot quieter, and the prestige of the Zhejia generals spread again in the northwest.
Now the Tongguan guard will be able to ask for the righteous son Zhi Yanhong, he will guard the Tongguan, and the Jinkou invasion can only look at the pass and sigh, and retreat in defeat. The Zhe family is famous in the northwest, and Zhe Keqiu is the best among them, and in the years of fighting with the Western Xia, he took in many orphans.
Among them, seven brave children were adopted by him as righteous sons, with the surname of Zhe and the name of color, from the oldest to the smallest, they are Zheyan red, Zheyan orange, Zheyan yellow, Zheyan green, Zheyan green, Zheyan blue, and Zheyan purple.
The seven were sent to a critical place to defend the land of Guanshan for the Zhi family. The seven people felt great pain because the king did not accompany the army, and often suggested that Zhiyan should work hard to save him in his lifetime.
Approaching the end of the year, the weather is as cold as the city wall of Tongguan, which makes people shiver in helplessness. Zhe Yanhong didn't dare to be careless at all, he was patrolling the gate at any time to see if there was a sneak attack by the enemy, and at the same time to see if there were any lazy guards. On this day, the defenders came to report, and someone knocked on the pass, claiming that he was asking for a good friend, and there was his latest news. Zhi Yanhong was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly went out to greet her.
There were only three people under the pass, and the one in front seemed to be not afraid of the cold wind, like a pine tree standing in front of the pass, standing straight. But strangely enough, his collar was cocked up to cover most of his face, as if he didn't want people to see his true face.
Zhi Yanhong walked up to him and took a closer look, and suddenly he was like being struck by lightning, stunned like a puppet, opening his big mouth and not moving. After a while, tears flowed out, and then he was pleasantly surprised: "Father! Then he fell to his knees and cried.
The man helped Zhi Yanhong and said: "Hong'er, hold back your tears, don't spread the news of your father's return first, and talk about everything in detail when we enter the customs!" ”
Hanzhong, in the folded house.
Murong Miyan was like an old hen who was eager to find a nest to lay eggs, circling around the living room, and from time to time asked her sister Murong Zuilei, who was also anxious next to her: "Eldest sister, is this true?" Is the master really coming back? Jin didn't abuse him, did he? Has he been wronged or hurt? ”
Murong Zuilei also said anxiously: "Abuse? Wronged? Hurt? Have it? ”
After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Yan Zhi said that my uncle will arrive today, and I don't know anything else." Ah! It can't be that Jin Ren sent back the inhuman form tortured by his uncle, right? ”
The maid Hanchun laughed and said: "The two princes are calm and don't be impatient, the young master has already said that the master is safe and sound." After a while, the young master will bring the master back, won't he know? ”
Realizing that they were embarrassed in front of their subordinates, the sisters looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at their daughter-in-law Zhou, who was also anxious but pretended to be calm, and they all sat down on the chair and pretended to sleep, but they couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts.
The two sisters, who have Xianbei blood, have been married to the brothers of the Zhe family for more than 40 years, except for worrying and missing their husbands and sons who have been fighting on the battlefield, they have never been so excited and excited as today. First Reading Network
During the Daguan period, Zhe Keshi died, her sister Murong Zuilei cried to death, and Miyan also cried into tears when she comforted her sister, and the sisters lived in the same house from then on. Later, the father and son were captured by the Jinren, and the identities of the sisters were exchanged, but they were still in tears.
After crying, the sisters became extremely strong, and without men, women had to live as individuals. After Zhe Yan fled back to his hometown in defeat, the two of them immediately redeployed officials in various places in Guanshan, and vowed to train elite soldiers to fight Jin Kou to the death, and rescue Zhe Keqiu's father and son.
Once a woman is strong, she is more resilient than a man; Once a woman is disappointed, she is more complete than a man.
In the days when her husband and son left, Murong Miyan didn't want to infect others with sadness, she was as strong as an iron-clad woman. He took the four maids Hanchun, Yaxia, Hanshuang, and Hate Winter as righteous daughters, and trained dozens of female soldiers, led his daughter-in-law Zhou and a team of female soldiers to inspect the lives of the people, inspect the situation of the barracks, and leave her resolute figure everywhere on the land of Guanshan.
Under the influence of the two of them, the weak Orihiko has become the iron man he is now, and he has become a handsome talent who can take charge of himself. And their disappointment in the Song court also reached its lowest point, it was precisely because of one weak and brainless emperor after another, with a group of ministers who only knew how to enjoy themselves, that there was such a nesty court, and their husbands and sons were also trapped.
Now that Gaozong has succeeded to the throne, he is as happy as his father and brother, and he has no intention of recovering the Great Song Dynasty, so when can he rescue the father and son of the Zhe family?
The court can't count on it, and it has to rely on itself to save people, which is the ideal of all the people in the Zhe family, and it is also the reason why the Zhe family has become a feudal town. If you are disappointed to the extreme, you will have a crack, and eventually you will drift with the waves like ice cracking on the surface of the river, drifting farther and farther.
The wait before reuniting with loved ones was long and anxious, and finally the longed-for familiar face stepped into the living room. Looking at the home that can only be walked in a dream, the wife who can only appear in a dream, is stunned for a while.
It's the same with looking for smoke, and the husband who looks forward to coming back through the autumn water appears in front of him, but he is speechless, only tears ripple. For a long time, she threw herself into her husband's arms and cried, like a wronged child, not caring at all about the image of the tough Iron Lady in the past. folded the old tears and hugged his wife tightly, for fear that the world would be separated again.
There was a lot of crying in the living room, and after a long time, Murong Zuilei wiped away her tears and said, "Uncle should be a great joy when he returns, why are you crying?" My sister didn't invite my uncle to sit down, and we celebrated as a family! ”
Miyan smiled embarrassedly, wiped away his tears, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates to serve tea and pour water. Zhe Keqiu sat on the top seat, looked at the door and sighed, without saying a word, mechanically picked up the teacup and put it on his mouth, but he didn't drink water and put it down.
At this time, Zhi Yan, who came in with Zhi Ke, said: "Uncle is tired of traveling and driving, and he is already hungry. Butler, hurry up and let the back kitchen prepare the meal, we have to pick up the wind and wash the dust for our uncle! ”
The housekeeper was about to go out in response, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not hungry, and I don't have the heart to eat and drink!" After saying that, he was there in a daze again.
After being dull for a long time, Murong Miyan looked at Zhou, who was still holding his grandson in tears, and suddenly thought of a very serious problem, and hurriedly asked, "Master, where is Wen'er?" Why didn't you bring Wen'er with you, where did he go? ”
Fold can beg to cover his face with his hands, and there is nothing to say. She shook her husband's shoulders and cried, "Say! What happened to Wen'er? How can you leave your son alone? Is your heart a piece of iron? ”
Zhe Keqiu suddenly hid his face and cried, who said I don't care about my son? My son is a piece of meat in my heart, and I lowered my gold for my son, and now I am returning for my son. Do you know how much pain I feel in my heart? I have betrayed the country and humiliated the prestige of the family, and the separation of flesh and blood has broken my liver and intestines, and the person I also want to come back is Wen'er, but does the cunning Jin man agree? Was it easy for me to live in humiliation until now? But how can these words be said to his wife, who is already in pain, he can only swallow the bitterness and bear it alone.
The living room was full of crying again, Zhou had become a tearful person, and the son in her arms also cried loudly, calling him for his father again and again.
At this time, a person who came with a request suddenly scolded: "What are you crying for? Zhe Yanwen has a good life in Dajin, he married Princess Dajin, and now he is a Dajin concubine, you should be happy. Hurry up and get down to business, and don't forget the task given to you by His Majesty! ”
