Chapter Thirty-Nine: Twilight
Listening to Liu Xinyu's words, Wei Zeng stared at her for a while, and then opened his mouth and said: "Since you are leaving, I will not stop you, I just hope that you can become a chivalrous and respectable chivalrous woman like your aunt in the future." You are willing to let go of the hatred in your heart, and everything is fine; I will always be in Yishan in the future, and if you want to find me, you can come at any time. ”
Liu Xinyu listened to Wei Zeng's words, turned his head over, and didn't want to look at Wei Zeng anymore. But her heart was a little sour, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
"Xinyu, are you really leaving? Isn't it good for you to be with your aunt all the time? Wendy reluctantly.
"I'm really leaving, if I don't discipline them well, my dad will make more mistakes. I'm also very reluctant to aunt, but I'm really leaving, I'll go to see you often when I'm free in the future. But auntie, you can't always be bullied by this bad guy in the future, or I'll be sad. Liu Xinyu couldn't help but cry as he spoke. But she had already decided in her heart, and she quickly wiped away her tears and walked towards the depths of Yu Mountain with a few black-clothed people.
"She's still so young, she's going to leave us, how should she take care of herself in the future." Wen Di was sad in his heart, and said crying on Wei Zeng's shoulder.
"She's young, but she's sensible, not to mention that with those Death Cultists taking care of her, she'll be fine." Wei Zeng gently patted Wen Di's back and comforted.
Han Taozi just watched all this quietly when she came closer, and the curiosity in her heart grew bigger and bigger. She had also heard about the Death Sect, and she also knew that Wei Zeng had wiped out the Death Sect in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect that Wei Zeng would actually take in the enemy's woman and raise her.
"Everything is getting more and more interesting, I originally thought that General Wei had fought on the battlefield for many years and was an invincible warrior, and I also admired him because of his persistent pursuit of what he wanted. Now it seems that there are other unknown things in his heart. It only takes time, and maybe I'll be able to find out all this. Han Taozi said secretly in her heart.
Wei Zeng comforted Wen Di for a while, and finally let Wen Di come out of his sadness. Wen Di has always been very arrogant, and he doesn't seem to care about anything, but Wei Zeng knows that everyone's heart needs to be comforted, and everyone's spirit needs to be cared about, and an ordinary person is like this, and an unusual person is no different.
As the twilight was grey and the sun was setting in the west, Wei Zeng and Wen Di continued on their way, intending to find a sheltered place to spend the night. Han Taozi quietly followed behind the two, watching carefully and thinking carefully.
Wen Yi was still a little sad on the road, so Wei Zeng chatted with Wen Di about what he had seen and heard along the way, and some trivial things in Yishan. Wendi was also infected by this warm atmosphere, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
As night fell, the trio lit a bonfire in a sheltered place at the foot of the mountain. Wei Zeng spread the blanket on the ground and let the two women rest first, while he himself sat by the campfire, wearing a thick coat, sometimes closing the curtain to recuperate, and sometimes adding a little firewood to the campfire.
Under the warm bonfire, Han Taozi, who was wrapped in a blanket, was also drowsy, and between the blurs, he heard the sound of the bonfire flickering, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Zeng staring at the sleeping Wen Di, his eyes were full of tenderness and love.
"General Wei, I'm following you two like this, am I disturbing you, don't you think I'm sorry." Han Taozi said slightly apologetically.
"It's nothing, it's boring to walk all the time, and one more person is less lonely. If you have time, talk to Wen Di more, Wen Di is a person who can't calm down, and now that Xinyu is gone, she has no one to talk to, and she will be suffocated. Wei Zeng replied.
"What about you, can't you talk to Lady Liu? I think you two have a good relationship. Han Taozi asked
"I don't like to talk, and I don't want to guess women's minds, I'm not suitable." Wei Zeng said.
"But I can see that you like Lady Liu very much. Why can't you open your heart? Han Taozi asked.
"What you see is wrong, don't be cranky. I have feelings for Wendy, but not what you think. I'm going to do her best, but I can't promise anything. After Wei Zeng finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.
The bonfire crackled, and Han Taozi looked at the burning bonfire, not understanding why Wei Zeng said what he said just now, and unconsciously fell asleep.
Han Taozi returned to Sanlu Town in her sleep, where Lan Qi was still boiling tea and beckoning passers-by. Han Taozi hurriedly ran forward, took the teapot to make tea for Lan Qi, and received pedestrians. After a busy time, Han Taozi turned around and looked at Lan Qi, just thinking about getting a compliment. But when he saw Lan Qi in the study, he frowned, thinking about some countermeasures.
"Master, I've made tea for you, you can rest well." Han Taozi said softly.
"Just put it there, you have to finish your homework today, and you have to remember what I taught you clearly. If there is the slightest omission, you will be in big trouble if you use what I teach you in the future. Lan Qi didn't raise her head, but said in a cold tone.
Han Taozi put down the tea, quietly walked out of the study, and glanced back at Lan Qi, feeling a little sour in her heart, as if she felt aggrieved because she was not praised by Lan Qi, and it seemed that she was worried about Lan Qi thinking hard and not being able to rest for a moment.
Everything was blurry in the blink of an eye, and then it was bustling and blooming, and everywhere was verdant and pleasant. It's just that in this beautiful Jiangnan garden, Fan Yuyi walked alone, looking up at the sky with sadness in his eyes, completely ignoring the beautiful scenery of the garden.
"The scholars are responsible for me, the Jiangnan wealthy families are responsible for me, and even the officials around me are responsible for me. No one knows my heart, everyone is fighting for selfish interests, and if I let it go, the great rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably lose all prosperity. Fan Yuyi couldn't help but sigh.
"But I know you, I know the love in your heart, and I believe that you will be able to influence everyone." Han Taozi stepped forward and said.
But what's the use? You're still going to go, and I'm going to take care of everything. Fan shook his head and walked into the distance.
Han Taozi hurriedly chased after her, wanting to explain something, she knew that Fan Yuyi was hard, but she also had a hard time in her heart.
Just stumbling under his feet, Han Taozi fell to the ground, and when he looked up, Fan Yuyi's figure was gone, and even all the beautiful scenery was gone.
The earth was stained blood-red and oozing blood, and the sky was cloudy, without any light, except for the burning fire and the gray and black that drifted around.
Hideous faces appeared all around, drums of war, shouts of killing, leaving only pieces of bones and rivers of blood.
Han Momoko was scared and stood up to escape from here, but everyone stared at her, brandishing blood-stained weapons to turn her into one of the countless bones. Han Taozi cried and ran away, but she couldn't escape after all.
At this moment the earth trembled, and a rumbling sound came, and everyone stopped and looked into the distance.
Han Taozi clearly saw Wei Zeng's figure, appearing in the sky, killing endless demons and monsters. Under the iron horse, no one could stop him, and everything became peaceful in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Han, you're okay, everything will be fine." Wei Zeng came to her side and said.
Han Taozi wanted to say something, but suddenly darkness enveloped everything, and when Han Taozi opened his eyes again, he only saw the bonfire that had been turned to ashes and Wei Zeng's concerned gaze.
"Miss Han, are you having a nightmare? Everything will be fine. Wei Zeng said.
Han Taozi looked at Wei Zeng and nodded, and couldn't help crying.
"You're so cowardly, you dare to come out and walk around? We don't have time, the Zhan Turks are coming, let's hurry up. Wendy said, standing aside.
Han Taozi couldn't hold back her crying, and sure enough, she heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and through the still faint skylight, she could see people and horses moving in the distance.
"The Zhantu people are going south to plunder again, and it seems that our road back to Yishan this time is still very difficult to walk. Now is not the time to rush, let's go to Cha Yi first, and wait for the limelight to come before hurrying. Wei Zeng said.
Wen Di and Han Taozi had no opinion, so they avoided the Zhantu people, and together with Wei Zeng, they rushed to the place where Gu Chayi was now.
In winter, there is also some desolation in the Yu Mountain, but in the desolate deep mountains, there are also some people who are trying to survive, so everything does not seem bleak.
Gu Chayi and Wei Zeng were also reluctant to give up, thinking that Wei Zeng would return to Yishan directly when he came back from Yanbei, but he didn't expect Wei Zeng to come back to see, which was really unexpected. As soon as Gu Cha received the news, he immediately came out with the generals.
"Good brother, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. I thought that if you go, we will be separated for a few more years, but it seems that this time, I will also thank those Zhantu people. Gu Chayi said with a smile.
"The people of Zhantu block my way back, and I can only come to my brother, it seems that it will be a long time before everything is restored. Then take this opportunity and I'll get together with you old brothers. Wei Zeng said with a smile.
"Haha, no problem, no problem for as long as you want. We and some brothers wish to be with their General Wei every day! Gu Cha said with a big laugh.
"But I wonder if the Janturians usually go south in the autumn to plunder? But this autumn they didn't move, but instead sent troops in this winter, which is very unusual. Wei Zeng asked.
"What else can it be for? For the sake of eating. Throughout the summer of this year, the Iron and Blood Army has been fighting against the Zhantu people, driving the Zhantu people to the north of Mobei. The place was too cold, and there was no pasture, so the Zhantu people naturally couldn't afford to raise too many cattle and sheep. In the winter, they have nothing to eat, and they will go south to plunder. Now that the Iron Blood Army is attacking Xu Huai, and the defense of the northern border is empty, how can the Zhan Tu people let go of this opportunity? Gu Cha replied.
"I see, everything is just a matter of life." Wei Zeng groaned.
In the following days, Wei Zeng stayed here, talking about family life with the old generals, and life was quite easy.
After settling here, there was no threat from the enemy, everything gradually became orderly, and the life of the soldiers gradually improved. Wei Zeng saw it in his eyes, and his heart was relieved.
In these days in the northern part of Yushan, Wei Zeng has not been idle, and has been helping his old subordinates to arrange all the affairs for the coming year.
what land could be reclaimed as arable land to feed the families of the soldiers; where fortifications must be built to defend against possible dangers; Which places must be cleaned up so that they can be used as channels for escape in the future, Wei Zeng is meticulous in handling them, no matter how big or small. Fortunately, Wei Zeng has a wealth of experience, so he doesn't have to crawl around, everything goes smoothly.
It's just that this time the Zhantu people raided for a long time, and there was no sign of retreat after a month, Wei Zeng finally couldn't sit still, and he took a few people to investigate.
The Mobei grassland is still the same desolate, and there is no one to see at all. But Wei Zeng knew that the raiding team of the Zhan Tu people was moving around here, and maybe if they didn't pay attention, they would meet them.
Wei Zeng just wanted to catch a person and find out the movements of the Zhantu people, and he had no intention of confronting the Zhantu people head-on, so he explored a road that the Zhantu people often passed, so he turned over and dismounted, hid on the side of the road and waited for the opportunity.
Du Feng and Zhao Jiahui arrived with Wei Zeng, hiding in the front and back sides to investigate. Wei Zeng waited for a while, but did not find any trace of the Zhantu people, so he walked to Du Feng and said:
"I'm curious, you used to be the governor of Jiangnan, and you were also a high-ranking power, why are you willing to follow us now and hide your name in this deep mountain? Are you willing? ”
"It seems that Madame has already told General Wei who I am. That's right, I'm Dufeng, and I've been in charge of Jiangnan for a few years before, but that's all in the past. There is nothing to be unwilling to, the previous ones died early, and now I am just a nobody, only willing to survive silently in the mountains. Du Feng listened to Wei Zeng's words, but was stunned for a moment, and then regained his composure and said.
"You must have a bitterness in your heart, and if you don't want to say it, just let it be. I won't tell anyone who you are, since you are willing to live incognito like this, everything is up to you. But you must know that the people in Yushan are all people who have survived a hundred deaths, and they have experienced life and death together, and everyone has long been indistinguishable from you and me. You are willing to live incognito like this, naturally there is nothing. But when you're willing to reveal your identity, I think people will still be willing to be friendly with you. Wei Zeng said.
Du Feng was silent, as if thinking about something, his eyes closed and opened, his brows furrowed and stretched, but in the end he still did not say a word back.
At this moment, Zhao Jiahui's shout came. Wei Zenghe and Dufeng looked into the distance, and a Zhantu man rode a horse and ran towards here. (To be continued.) )
