Chapter 47: The Sound of Falling Rain and the Wind
Wei Zeng returned victoriously from defeating the iron-blooded army, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a celebration party should have been joyful. But Wei Zeng and Qi Weilun almost quarreled because of the invasion of Kansai. Wei promoted the resolute attitude of the army in Guanxi, and Qi Weilun looked at the overall situation, believing that only after the Central Plains could he enter Guanxi. The disagreement between the two made the civil and military officials worry.
Then Weizhen kept crying, and Wei Zeng comforted him on the side. The two said something that others didn't understand. Seeing this, everyone knew that the two had some private things to discuss, so they retired one after another.
Wei Zeng returned to the room with Wei Zhen, originally the husband and wife reunited after a long absence, and they should be very affectionate, but now there are more unpleasantness.
"Zhen'er, don't be sad anymore. I don't feel good right now. I decided to go to Kansai because I had already decided in my heart. I owe her a promise that I feel uneasy to let her suffer alone in Kansai all these years. I just want to have a clear conscience, but now I don't know what is right or wrong. On my way to Shifeng Castle, I asked myself many times if I should go to Kansai. When I have the thought of not going, I am overwhelmed by the pain. I just want peace of mind, and I really don't mean to hurt you. Wei Zeng put his hand on his head, closed his eyes and frowned.
"I just couldn't stop crying, and I didn't mean to upset you. Since I knew that Sister Feng was suffering in Kansai with her child, I also wanted Brother Wei to bring her back as soon as possible. As for your choice, I will accept it. But now, when I learn that you are going to Kansai soon, I find that I don't want to leave you at all. You and Sister Feng have a deep affection, and it was only because of a misunderstanding that our marriage was caused. If you choose her, then what am I? If you have to lose it eventually, why get it? Maybe I should have left you a long time ago and practiced medicine alone to save people. It is only because of greed that there is today's suffering. Weizhen said while crying.
"I understand the feeling of gaining and losing. How can I make you feel this pain? You are my dearest person, I will use my power to protect everything for you, and I will not let you be harmed. I don't mean to abandon you, it's just that my heart wants me to go to Kansai, but I really don't mean to abandon you. Wei Zeng walked to the bed and comforted.
"I used to think that as long as I stayed by your side, I would have nothing to ask for, and I would never be lonely for the rest of my life. But for the past year, I have been waiting for your return every day, and I have gradually understood that my heart is not as wide as I thought. I just want to be able to stay with you alone for the rest of my life, without the involvement of a third person. Not only do I not want to leave you, I also want you to be the only one in your heart. Am I being selfish? But I found that this was what I really thought. Yuzhen wanted to hold back his tears, but after saying that, he cried again.
"It's me who is wrong, it's me who made you wait for a year. I won't make such a mistake again in the future. But Li'er has been waiting for me, how can I leave her alone? It's me who is wrong, it's me who shouldn't have too many people in my heart. But as fate would have it, what could I do? I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to let down my pity. If anyone is going to take on all this, let this one person be me. Zhen'er, stop crying. If you still believe me, don't cry. Trust me, I'll think of the best of both worlds. Wei Zeng sighed as he spoke, holding Weizhen in his arms, and couldn't help but caress him.
"You have said that your heart has made you go to Kansai, how can a person go against his heart? I don't want to leave you, I don't want to live without you. Wei Zhen cried in Wei Zeng's arms.
"My heart is also with you, after so many years of getting along, don't you know me? I will never fail the people who are sincere to me, really, I will not fail you. Wei Zeng still soothed.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Zhen fell asleep in Wei Zeng's arms. Wei Zeng pulled the quilt over and put it on Weizhen's body, and then remained motionless, for fear of waking up Weizhen, who had just fallen asleep.
With the moonlight shining in from the window, Wei Zeng gently wiped the tears on Wei Zhen's face and fell into deep thought.
"I know the feeling of gaining and losing. I can't ask for it, and I've never been convinced. Now I understand that what I can't ask for and what I gain and lose turns out to be what comes with each other. I didn't realize it before, but the time has not come. I won't live up to it, so Kansai is a must-go; I won't hurt her, and I'll always be waiting for her. How to ...... both" Wei Zeng's heart was clogged when he thought of this, and he couldn't help but tremble: "There must be a way to have both, even if there is none, I will find one." ”
When he woke up the next day, Weizhen's mood calmed down, and after knowing Wei Zeng's decision, Weizhen chose to believe Wei Zeng. Other than that, there's really no other option.
Wei Zeng's attitude of sending troops to Guanxi was very resolute. Qi Weilun couldn't persuade him, although he was unhappy in his heart, but considering the overall situation, he still prepared for Wei Zeng's expedition.
Because of the trouble caused by sending troops to Guanxi, Wei Zeng has been a little tired for several days. Fortunately, Weizhen and Qi Weilun are both people who know the general situation, although they both have their own ideas in their hearts, but at least they will not force Wei Zeng to make some decisions.
A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Diaoling, who was guarding Yushan Pass, came to the city lord's mansion and asked Wei Zeng for leave, saying that he would go to the Siqing Sea to worship Liu Hexin.
Since taking refuge in Wei Zeng, Xu Diaoling has been guarding Yushan Pass, and in the past few years, Yushan Pass has become a scale, resisting the attacks of the demon sect several times, so that Shui Qingliu returned in vain.
In fact, Xu Diaoling has always wanted to find an opportunity to worship Liu Hexin, but in the past few years, the Yanbei Righteous Army has been fighting, and he really can't get out. In case Yushan Pass is lost and Shifeng City is besieged, the Yanbei Righteous Army will be in danger.
Wei Zeng returned victoriously, Yanbei was rarely peaceful, and Xu Diaoling came to ask for leave.
Wei Zeng immediately agreed, and a person on the shore of Siqing Sea made his heart fluctuate again.
Wei Zeng felt ashamed of Wen Di, although Si Qinghai was not far away, he never went. Now he is physically and mentally exhausted, and after Xu Diaoling left, he quietly came to the shore of Siqing Sea.
Wei Zeng quickly stepped up and came to Siqinghai earlier than Xu Diaoling. Seeing that there was an extra spiritual mound next to Wendi's mother's grave, Wei Zeng knew that it was the place where Liu Hexin was buried.
After Wei Zeng stepped forward to worship, he looked at the hut by the sea, but it was difficult to take a step forward.
The door opened, and someone stepped out of the house. Wei Zeng hurriedly dodged. I saw a man and a woman walking out of the house, and Wei Zeng recognized that it was Wen Di and the nine-tailed fox warrior Zheng Duxing.
When Wei Zeng saw Zheng Duxing, he had an impulse to step forward, but after thinking about it, he held back.
"Zheng Duxing is a man who is scheming, but he should be sincere to Wen Di, I just hope that Wen Di can be happy in the future."
Wei Zeng let go of his clenched fists, left the place, and hurried back to Shifeng City to prepare for the future war in Kansai.
"Zheng Duxing, I said that I am doing well now, and I don't need anyone to help. You can take all these things. If I can't even support myself, won't all these years of wandering the rivers and lakes be in vain? Wen Di handed over the things Zheng Duxing had brought to him and excused himself.
"I understand what Miss Wendy means. But now it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, this box of mooncakes is just in time, and the girl can't refuse. Otherwise, I would have thought that I had offended the girl. Zheng Duxing said.
"When is the right time, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for several days." Wendy laughed.
"Yaodong has a long way to get here, and I encountered some wind and waves, I came late, but I didn't mean to miss the Mid-Autumn Festival, this heart is also acceptable to Miss Wendi." Zheng Duxing handed the moon cake to Wen Di and said.
"Yaodong is not close here, you came from afar to worship your father, I naturally appreciate this intention. I took the mooncakes. But I still say the same thing, I am in the mood to do anything else during the period of filial piety for my father, so you don't have to bother about it anymore. Windy politely refused.
"It's been almost two years since my predecessor died, and this filial piety is not so law-abiding. Does the girl want to keep the filial piety for Liu's predecessor for a lifetime? Zheng Duxing couldn't help but say.
"Three years of ancient rites, there is still more than a year left." Wen Di said slowly with a calm gaze.
"Since this is the girl's decision, I will respect it. I'll be back in a year's time, and hopefully the girl will give me a chance when she does. Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains that 'the past cannot be admonished, and the future can still be chased', I hope that the girl can get out of the sadness of the past, and tomorrow's life will be better. Zheng Duxing finished speaking and left.
After Wen Di sent Zheng Duxing away, he couldn't help but look at the north, feeling a little lost in his heart, and said secretly: "It's been almost two years, why haven't you come yet?" ”
In a blink of an eye, he saw three bunches of incense inserted in front of Liu Hexin's grave, obviously someone had worshipped, and Wen Di wondered who would come? I was shocked: "Could it be that he is coming?" ”
"Wei Zeng, Wei Zeng, is that you? You come out. Wendy shouted around, but there was no answer but an answer.
"What was I thinking? Like a madman. Now that he has a foundation and a wife, what is he doing here? Wendy smiled wryly and went back into the house.
Autumn in the north is always crisp, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it begins to rain continuously. An autumn rain and a cool, there is naturally little warmth in the north wind, and dead branches and leaves are very common scenes. However, the barren land in the south is still verdant, but the rain is still there.
Because of the rain, Fan Jiyi postponed his attack on the southern thieves. After more than a year of victories, thousands of people have gathered around him. Fan is confident that as long as time is given, it will not be a problem to pacify the south.
Fan Yuyi was planning how to attack after the rain had passed, when Fu Zuci hurriedly walked into the house.
"Why is Zu Ci in such a hurry, what can't be said slowly." Fan Yuyi glanced up and said, and then thought about things to himself.
"Something big happened, the Jingshi was conquered, and the Iron Blood Army was defeated."
Fan Zhiyi's body shook, and the pen in his hand fell on the table. Fan Zhiyi calmed down a little, picked up the pen again, and then said slowly: "What should come will always come, the soldiers will come to block, the water will cover the earth, there is nothing to worry about." ”
