Chapter 390: Reunion
Looking at Li Fuguo's figure disappearing into the darkness, Wang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, he knew that at least he had passed another level tonight. The story he weaved was enough for Li Fuguo to think about it for a while, and he would definitely verify the authenticity of his story, but among the parties involved, Li Guinian and Shen Qiurong were already dead, and the concubine Niangniang would be tight-lipped again, and Li Fuguo actually couldn't find anything.
Maybe one day the truth will come out, but maybe by then, the truth won't matter too much.
When the cold morning came, when the east was just showing the white of the fish's belly, there was already a commotion in front of the Wang family's mansion. More than a dozen carts lined up, and dozens of mules and horses stood in the cold wind with their luggage on their backs and white steam.
After a few moments, the woman boarded the car, the man rode his horse, and everything was ready. The driver of the leading cart snapped his whip, and the convoy rumbled down the street. Everyone in the car and everyone on the horse looked back, looked at this big mansion that had lived for more than a year and was repaired by hand, and waved goodbye to a few people who stayed at the door to watch the house, Li Xin'er, Lan Xinhui and several maidservants were actually red-eyed.
"Why doesn't my cousin look back at the old mansion? Anyway, I have lived in a home for a year, look at Xin'er and them, a handful of snot and tears. Wang Yuan asked the men's beauties around him with a smile.
Gongsun Lan chuckled and said, "What is there to cry about, it's a joy to leave the capital." In fact, I don't have the slightest attachment to this place, if there is anything that makes me nostalgic, I just pity the dozen or so plum blossoms I personally tended to in the back garden. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "What my cousin said is very true, I have a relationship in my heart, and I don't have much nostalgia for the capital, I can't wait to leave the capital as soon as possible, and the farther away the better." As long as the person you like is around, a house is not worth crying about. ”
Gongsun Lan smiled: "You have a ghost in your heart, you are different from me, don't have anything to do with me." Don't think I don't know anything about you, last night Li Fuguo came to you, and you made up a lot of lies to deceive him, I'm afraid that Li Fuguo will see through your lies and come to you to settle accounts. ”
Wang Yuan was surprised: "It turns out that my cousin knows everything, and I was going to discuss with my cousin, but when I think that my cousin has been quiet for a few days, I can't bear to disturb it." I didn't expect my cousin to take the initiative to protect me secretly, and my cousin was too good to me. ”
Gongsun Lan took a sip and said: "I'm just afraid that you will kill someone, no one will take care of this big family, and I will take care of your wife and children for you, otherwise I don't care." ”
Wang Yuan laughed, and as he spoke, the team had already walked in the direction of Dongfang Gate on the main street. Half an hour later, the group walked to the inner square of Jinguang Gate, the main gate of the West City. The sky was already bright, and the clouds in the east were already fiery red, and soon the red sun would burst out.
When the team arrived at the square, they saw more than 200 cavalrymen standing in line at the gate of the city, and saw the king's chariot coming, and two horses galloped over.
"See the general, Liu Dehai is polite." One of them is Liu Dehai, who has been injured for a few days.
"See the general, Zhao Qing, the captain of the personal guard battalion, has been waiting for the general here for a long time." Another young general also bowed his hand immediately.
Wang Yuan knew that these were two hundred guards who followed Xian Yu Zhongtong to the capital, and when Xian Yu Zhongtong left Beijing, Yang Guozhong specially asked him to leave these two hundred people as his escorts on this trip, and Zhao Qing was the leader of these two hundred guards.
"What happened to General Liu's leg injury? It's a long journey, and it's a hard trip, can you afford it? Wang Yuan smiled.
"Don't worry, General, the wound has healed, and it's no big deal. Thanks to the general for asking for merit for me, the former Japanese military department issued a promotion document, and I was promoted to a ranger general. Liu Dehai said with a smile.
"Congratulations." Wang Yuan nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at Zhao Qing and said, "Captain Zhao, I'm afraid I'm going to have to work hard for you along the way." We are not familiar with the road to Yizhou, so we can only ask you for things on the road. ”
Zhao Qing arched his hand and said: "Where the general speaks, this is the duty of the humble position." Xian Yu said when the marshal left, the humble post will be your personal guards from now on, and you will be able to do it even if you command. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, you can discuss more with General Liu along the way, if you have any suggestions, you can inform General Liu, and he will come to report to me." ”
Liu Dehai and Zhao Qing responded in unison, and the team converged in one place, because they had to wait for Liu Jun, so they had to temporarily stay in a corner of the square inside the city gate. Wang Yuan led the horse and chatted with the people around him, and suddenly saw two people walking out of the crowd of onlookers from afar, and walked towards Wang Yuan, and several guards stepped forward to stop them. The two men shouted as if they were very excited, and the soldiers scolded them, and some of them had already picked up their whips.
"What's going on?" Wang Yuan frowned and asked.
"General, it's two people, and they insist that they are your old people, so they have to go forward." Zhao Qing replied.
Wang Yuan said: "Old man? Bring them over. ”
The two civilians were brought in by the soldiers, their ragged faces covered in dirt and their hair dishevelled from the struggle.
"Who are you two?" Wang Yuan frowned and asked.
"Wang Gongzi, you don't know us anymore? The slave is Shannier, this is my brother Tan Ping. The little people with unkempt hair cried.
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and finally recognized that these two people were the brothers and sisters in the mountains who led him through the Xida Mountain that day. The tall one is Tan Ping, and the one who speaks is Tan Nier.
"Why are you in the capital? How did you get to be like this? Wang Yuan said in astonishment.
"Woohoo." Shannier suddenly burst into tears, rubbing her palms on her face, and after a while, she became a big flower face.
The young man Tan Ping was relatively calm, and looked at Wang Yuan without saying a word. Wang Yuan hurriedly ordered the two to be led into the team, stood by a carriage, and asked them why. Shannier sobbed and cried, but Tan Ping began to tell quietly.
After separating from the brother and sister on the way to Yunzhou that day, Tan Ping took his sister Shannier to Yunzhou City, and it was already the second day that Wang Yuan and they sent troops to Jushiguan overnight. The brother and sister sold their furs, and after looking around the city, Wang Yuan couldn't find it, and they couldn't delay any longer, so they returned to the mountains the same way. Unexpectedly, when I returned to my home in the mountains, I found that my home had been burned to ruins by a fire. The siblings panicked and found their dead mother and seriously injured father in the snowdrift.
Mr. Tan used his last bit of strength to inform a pair of children passing by, it turned out that Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan's tracks on the snow were discovered by the soldiers and horses chasing them, and they followed them all the way to the valley. When they learned that Wang Yuan and the others had crossed the mountains to Yunzhou, the officer who led the troops was extremely angry and knew that they could no longer catch up with Wang Yuan and them, so they burned down the house and killed people to vent their anger. The old man fought hard and finally waited for the return of his children.
After Tan Ping said this, he couldn't help but tears rippled, and Shannier on the side cried loudly again. Gongsun Lan comforted her in a low voice on the side, and several women of the Wang family also knew what was going on, and they all sympathetically surrounded her to comfort her.
"I'm the one who killed your family, I'm sorry." Wang Yuan was responsible.
Tan Ping said: "Wang Gongzi Mo said that, everything is providential, you saved my sister's life, and my father decided to help you, this is all cause and effect." I'm going to get revenge, but my dad won't let me fight hard. Daddy said, you are a member of the government, if you want revenge, you have to find you, if the prince can agree to help me take revenge, it is possible to succeed. If the prince is unwilling, my brother and sister will not be able to take revenge in this life. ”
Wang Yuan said: "So your brother and sister came all the way to the capital to find me?" ”
Tan Ping said: "Daddy passed away after not long, and my sister and I had nowhere to go after burying my father, so I discussed with my sister and went to find you according to my father's explanation." When I went to Yunzhou to inquire around, I heard that the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou had won a big victory at Boulder Pass, and said that Wang Gongzi also went with the army, so he stayed in Yunzhou and waited for Wang Gongzi. However, after the army returned to the city, my brother and sister tried to find Gongzi several times, but they were all blasted out. A few days later, I learned that my son had returned to the capital, and my sister and I followed you all the way to the capital. My brother and sister didn't know how we got here, we begged for a few bites without food, ate a few mouthfuls of snow without water to drink, and finally entered the capital last night. Just now, my sister and I were resting on the side of the street, and I heard that the name of the prince was famous, so I rushed to take a look. God is pitiful, if it is really the prince of the king, the emperor lives up to his heart. ”
Wang Yuan and the people around him felt sorry in their hearts, Gongsun Lan was extremely fond of Shannier, and she no longer hated the dirt on her body to tidy up her clothes and hair.
"The death of my parents was caused by me, and I caused them to be harmed. Your brothers and sisters can come all the way to me, which is the trust in me. Don't worry, I'll do my best to get your revenge. But now we are going to Jiannan to take up our duties, and you two have no place to go in the capital, so you might as well follow us." Shannier followed my daughters in the family, Brother Tan, I can let you join the military and be a personal guard by my side. What do you think? ”
Tan Ping and Tan Nier both knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Wang Yuan for taking him in. Wang Yuan helped the two of them up, and ordered someone to change the clothes of the two brothers and sisters, clean up, and eat something or something. After a while, as soon as he calmed down, he saw a crowd of horses' hooves on the street, and a large group of carriages and horses rushed into the square from the street.
