Chapter 13: Vengeance

When Wei Xun rushed back with Chen Qingzhi, Hui Ze had already packed up the bodies of Yang Baihua and his wife, and was busy packing up the bodies of the others in the courtyard.

Chen Qingzhi saw the tragic situation in front of him, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"It was Yang Zhao who did it!" While Hui Ze was busy with the things in hand, he said to Wei Xun and Chen Qingzhi.

"Yang Zhao?" Chen Qingzhi didn't know why. Wei Xun briefly told him about Yang Zhao's relationship with the family.

"Since they are brothers, why can they be so poisonous?" Chen Qingzhi said in a sad tone.

"Where's Yanran?" Wei Xun asked anxiously.

"In her room."

"I'll go see her." With that, Wei Xun ran away.

After Hui Ze neatly placed the body in the courtyard, he walked in front of Chen Qingzhi, who had been standing, "Brother Chen, what should I do now?" Hui Ze's whole body was covered with blood, and his face was also covered with tears.

Chen Qingzhi came to his senses, "Huize, don't worry. Let's take care of the aftermath first, and then make plans after Brother Yang and them are in the ground. I immediately sent someone to inform Xu Jin and asked him to rush back immediately. ”

On the day Xu Jin rushed back, the wind and snow changed from the previous fluttering and sprinkling, and they all became fierce and wild. The cold wind howled across the earth, rolling up bursts of frost and snow mist, and large pieces of snow smashed densely to the ground, completely enveloping the world in a miserable white.

Like a snowman, covered from head to toe with thick snow, Xu Jin stumbled in from the gate. The non-stop progress along the way, coupled with the anxiety churning in his heart, finally made his body unable to hold it anymore at this moment, and just ran a few steps inside, he fell headlong.

Wei Xun hurriedly went over to help Xu Jin up. Chen Qingzhi came over and said, "This is not good, hurry up and take him to change his clothes and boil some ginger soup for him!" ”

Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes, and he heard Wei Xun saying loudly, "Wake up, wake up, it's okay!" ”

Chen Qingzhi appeared in front of him next, "Brother Xu Jin, are you okay?" ”

Xu Jin struggled to sit up, "Brother Chen, I'm fine, quick, take me to see Brother Yang and them." ”

Coming to the mourning hall, two sets of fine coffins are placed in the middle, and the spiritual plaque incense case and other proper furnishings are readily available.

Chen Qingzhi said to Xu Jin, "These are all ordered by His Royal Highness King Ye, and after King Ye came to mourn, he was too sad and fell ill when he returned home." ”

Kneeling beside him, Yanran, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, looked dull. Xu Jin walked up to her and squatted down, calling out to her softly, "Yanran, I'm back......"

Yanran slowly raised her head, and when she saw Xu Jin in front of her, she suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Xu Jin's clothes, and cried bitterly.

Xu Jin didn't stop it, and let her vent to her heart's content. After a while, Yan Ran gradually restrained her emotions, wiped her tears, and said to Xu Jin, "You persuade Hui Ze, since the day of the accident, he has been chanting, and he has not eaten or drunk for several days, I am afraid that if this continues, he will ...... He ......"

Hui Ze had been kneeling in the corner next to the coffin, closing his eyes and chanting, Xu Jin came to him, but there was still no response.

Hui Ze's eyes were deep-set, his face was bloodless, his lips were dry and cracked, and he was much thinner.

"Hui Ze, Hui Ze." Xu Jin called out to him softly.

But Hui Ze didn't respond.

"Huize!" Xu Jin raised his voice slightly.

Ren Ran didn't respond in the slightest. But the fingers that were playing with the Buddha beads began to tremble more intensely.

Xu Jin stood up and looked at Hui Ze silently. Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped Hui Ze in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Wei Xun hurriedly hugged Xu Jin from behind, "Xu Jin, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Jin shook off Wei Xun, stepped forward, grabbed Hui Ze's shirt, and lifted him up.

Wei Xun still wanted to pull, but Chen Qingzhi stopped him and shook his head gently.

"You chant the scriptures here until you die, and put your life on the line, can Brother Yang and Mrs. Yang come back to life?" Xu Jin shouted angrily at Hui Ze.

"So what else can I do?" Hui Ze replied in a small, sad voice, "I can't do anything, what else can I do but chant sutras?" ”

"You don't want to avenge them?"

"Revenge?" Hui Ze looked at Xu Jin with blank eyes, "The world is so big, where can I go to seek revenge?" ”

"As long as you keep this life, you will have a chance sooner or later."

Xu Jin's words made Hui Ze's eyes regain some anger.

"Think about it." Xu Jin threw Hui Ze back to the ground. Turning to Chen Qingzhi and Wei Xun, he said, "I have to go get him something to eat." ”

"You can rest well." Wei Xun said to Xu Jin, "I'll go buy some for him." ”

Hui Ze ate some porridge bought by Wei Xun, and his stomach gradually became active, and even his thinking, which had solidified due to anxiety and self-blame, began to recover.

"Jin, you say, how can we take revenge?" Hui Ze asked impatiently.

"Revenge must be avenged! But this time it's not as good as when I was in Huaishuo, this sea of people is vast, we don't know where this Yang Zhao is, it seems that we have to think about it in the long run. ”

"Don't be impulsive, you two!" Yan Ran interjected, "Yang Zhao is also a military general, and his martial arts are no worse than my father; Even if I find him, you two won't necessarily be opponents, and I don't want to lose you again......" Yanran said, choking again.

"Miss Yang is right, you must not be impulsive this time." Chen Qingzhi said, "In fact, King Ye has asked him to investigate the eyeliner of the Northern Wei Dynasty on his behalf, and I believe there will be news soon." ”

Chen Qingzhi picked a feng shui treasure outside Jiankang City and buried Yang Baihua and his wife here.

On the day of the funeral, King Ye also brought news that the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty appointed Yang Zhao as the general of Pingnan in Luoyang City, commanding the Lei Army and specializing in the war against Liang.

"It seems that this Yang Zhao should have reached a deal with the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he used Brother Yang's head in exchange for fame and fortune." Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "And looking at the current situation, if you two want to take revenge, I'm afraid it's difficult to get close to him......"

"Yes, in this case, if you rush to take revenge," Wei Xun said worriedly, "It's suicide at all, you two must think clearly." ”

Xu Jin buried his head in silence, but his eyes flashed with rage.

Hui Ze suddenly asked, "Brother Chen, is it the meaning of fighting against Liang in the special affairs of Liang?" ”

Chen Qingzhi nodded.

"In other words, as long as there is a war with Daliang, Yang Zhao will definitely appear on the battlefield, right?"

Chen Qingzhi nodded again.

"Brother Chen, can you let the little monk join your army as well?" Hui Ze asked resolutely.

Everyone's eyes were full of surprise and turned to Hui Ze.

"That's right! Huize! Xu Jin reacted, "Isn't Brother Chen's training just to fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty!" As long as we follow Brother Chen to fight, we will definitely have a chance to meet Yang Zhao. On the battlefield, even if Yang Zhao has three heads and six arms, we will definitely be able to catch the opportunity! ”

"Makes sense!" Wei Xun also echoed, "If there is a chance then, I will also try to help you!" ”

"You both went, what should Miss Yang do?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

"Brother Chen doesn't need to worry, I can take care of myself." Yanran said, "We are already a family, and this revenge will be avenged!" ”

"That being the case, it's not good to say much in the next, the little master Huize is coming, of course you are welcome in the next."

After the first month, Xu Jin and Hui Ze were ready to go to the barracks.

Yan Ran and Wei Xun kept sending them out of the city.

"You can go in peace, don't worry about me, if I have the chance, I will visit you." Yanran said with a smile.

The two nodded, "Brother Wei Xun, please ask you to take care of Yanran for us." ”

"Don't worry, I'll go with her every day, don't worry."

Chen Qingzhi and Chen Sibao have been busy raising military salaries for the new year recently. After all, Zhu Yi's two boxes of gold, Chen Qingzhi felt that he could not use them or try not to use them.

Back at the official office, Chen Qingzhi was preparing to deal with some official business, and Ma Funian came again.

"Master Chen, Mr. asked the students to invite you to Huaiyue Tower for tea."

"The people of Zhongshu are really interested." Chen Qingzhi said a little helplessly, "In this case, please wait for a while, I will deal with some affairs and go immediately." ”

When he arrived at the private room of Huaiyue Building, Zhu Yi greeted Chen Qingzhi very cordially and warmly.

After a period of greetings, Zhu Yi cut to the topic.

"Brother Xian, you see that I am a student, a scholar, but I always like to study military books. At present, there is no suitable position for him in the DPRK, you can see if you can join the army in your army, and if necessary, you can also give you advice and help. Zhu Yi twisted his slender beard and looked at Chen Qingzhi with a smile.

"Wen Cai is the protΓ©gΓ© of Yan and his brother, he must have a good belly, and when he comes to my small military camp, I'm afraid he is a condescending talent."

"He can serve under such a talented person as Brother Xian, that is unbelievable, how can he say that he is talented."

"But the life in the military camp is hard, I'm afraid that I will be wronged by Wencai."

As soon as Chen Qingzhi's words fell, Ma Funian pounced in front of Chen Qingzhi and said loudly, "Students should eat and live with the soldiers, share weal and woe, and hope that Master Chen's book will be completed!" ”

"Hahaha," Zhu Yi stroked Chen Qingzhi's back, "Brother Xian, you see that Wen Cai is so sincere, don't dislike him, just fulfill him." ”

"In this case, I will ask Wencai to pack up, and when spring begins, I will take him to the barracks."

"Do you really promise him?" Wei Fang's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Qingzhi incredulously.

In the courtyard of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, Chen Qingzhi and Wei Fang walked towards Wei Rui's room, chatting as they walked.

"Then what else can I do, can I not promise him?" Chen Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

"Do you know what is the purpose of Zhu Yi letting his protΓ©gΓ© join the army?"

"How can you not know below," Chen Qingzhi smiled slightly, "It's nothing more than to spy on me, and find out the details of our army by the way." ”

"Now that you know, how are you going to deal with it?"

"There's nothing in our army that needs to be deliberately hidden, so come if he wants to." Chen Qingzhi looked very relaxed.

"Anyway, you have to be more guarded, don't take it lightly."

"Brother Yuan is at ease." Chen Qingzhi arched his hand and said, "Today's things are complicated, and I haven't come to visit Yongchanghou, I don't know if Mr. has improved?" ”

Wei Fang shook his head, "Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, this famous doctor in Jiankang has been invited all over the place, but there is still no improvement." ”

Entering the room, Wei Rui was lying on the couch, gasping slightly. Hearing the two of them come in, Wei Rui turned his face sideways and greeted in a trembling voice, "Ziyun, you haven't been here for a while." ”

"There are too many troubles these days, and I neglect to visit my husband and hope to atone for my sins." Chen Qingzhi approached Wei Rui and said softly.

"The old man also heard that what happened in the Yang Mansion was indeed tragic." Wei Rui said tremblingly, "The old man knows that his limit is approaching, you don't need to spend your time on me, an old man, train your troops well, and don't live up to the old man's expectations." ”
