Chapter 031: The Storm Rises Again
The army was not allowed to drink together for no reason, so Wei Ba said that he had to ask his father before he could feast Fu Xing. Wei Feng has been in the middle for many years and is much more experienced, so he directly asked Zhuge Liang to have a banquet for Fu Xing. With Zhuge Liang's permission, this matter can be done confidently.
After getting Wei Yan's consent and the promise to attend, Wei Feng immediately got busy. He has followed Wei Yan since he was a child, and he is used to seeing his father like a hedgehog, catching and stabbing whom, there are few friends of the same age around him, he has been lonely for so many years, and finally has a new friend, and the joy in his heart can be imagined. He specially asked people to bring fine wine from the city of Chuyang, slaughtered a sheep, and set up a sumptuous banquet, waiting for Fu Xing's arrival.
Although Wei Ba was not good at socializing in his previous life, he had a lot of dinners between colleagues, and although he didn't like this kind of occasion, he was no stranger to it. Seeing that Wei Feng was so excited, he also made a few jokes. Wei Wu squatted aside and watched from the beginning of slaughtering sheep, as if in the blink of an eye, the sheep that had been skinned would run away. Wei Ba felt pitiful when he thought about it, as the son of General Zhenbei, he was so concerned about eating a bite of mutton, this life was really not easy.
In fact, the Wei family's financial resources are not weak. There is such a large manor, a complete range of workshops, and tens of thousands of subordinate populations, plus the tax income of Wei Yan Hanzhong Taishou, Zhenbei General Yulu and Duting Marquis, under the care of Mrs. Zhang's clever management methods, the annual income is very considerable. However, the Wei family's expenses are also very considerable, there are so many people to support, especially the various expenses of the three thousand parts are amazing, to train an ordinary soldier into a fierce pawn, especially an elite like the Wei family's military pawn, a huge investment is inevitable.
Most of the Wei family's income was spent on the training of martial artists. In addition, although Wei Yan has a very bad attitude towards other people, he treats his subordinates very favorably, even if it is a county soldier outside the ministry, he also rewards it every once in a while, so that even if the Wei family has gold and silver, it is inevitable that they will be overstretched. Because of this, several people in charge of the Wei family are similar to those in charge of Chen, and they subconsciously try their best to make money.
The wine was ready, and the mutton was also simmering slowly in the pot over low heat, with a fragrant aroma that tempted Wei Wu to sip from time to time. But Fu Xing never came, and even Wei Yan was a little impatient to wait, and took the initiative to come and ask Wei Fengdao: "What's the matter, what time is this, why hasn't it started yet?" What about Fu Xingren, haven't arrived yet? ”
Wei Feng couldn't figure it out, he looked at the sky outside: "It should be coming soon." ”
Wei Yan was unhappy: "How can this be reasonable, do you want me to wait for him to be a junior?" ”
Wei Ba was a little worried, he looked at the undulating peaks of Yangping Mountain in the night outside, and suddenly said: "Daddy, big brother, do you think Fu Xing was detained by Liu Yan and can't come?" ”
"How dare he?!" Wei Yan blurted out.
Wei Ba smiled helplessly, and was about to say something more, when a guard outside hurriedly walked in with a young slave girl. Wei Ba immediately closed his mouth, he didn't know this slave girl, but from her clothes, it could be seen that this was an official slave and maid who did miscellaneous labor in the baggage camp. At this time, someone from the baggage camp came, and his expression was so anxious, I am afraid it is not a good thing.
"The slave maid meets General Zhenbei." The slave girl saw Wei Yan with an angry face at a glance, and immediately bowed down.
"Raise your head and speak." Wei Yan was not in a good mood, but he did not have the habit of getting angry at a slave girl. "You're in a hurry to see me, what's the matter?"
The slave girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and raised her face with a large blue spot: "General Huiyu, I escaped from the baggage camp, and I have an urgent matter to tell General Zhenbei." ”
Wei Yan was stunned: "Escaped? "Fugitive slaves are to be killed, and if there is less, they must be punished heavily. This slave girl took such a risk to come to Wei Yan's camp, there must be something very important, and she is about to pay a heavy price for it, so how can Wei Yan sit idly by. However, the baggage battalion is not only managed by Yang Yi, but also a direct organization of the Chinese army battalion, even if Wei Yan is a general in Zhenbei, it is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the baggage battalion.
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and his tone returned to calm: "You say, what's the urgency?" ”
"Slaves and maids did chores in the camp and sometimes helped to care for the wounded. Not long ago, a person was sent from the post-general's camp, he was seriously injured, and the skin and flesh of his whole body were broken, and the people in the post-general's camp took care of him and said that he was not allowed to wash and apply medicine, and that he should slowly die of pain. ”
When Wei Ba heard this, he suddenly felt that his cold hairs stood on end, and a cool breath rushed straight to his head from his back waist. He realized that the wounded man was probably Fu Xing, or the slave girl would not have gone to the camp of the general Zhenbei to tell the truth. He was just about to speak, but Wei Yan raised his hand and motioned for him not to speak. Wei Ba looked up and saw that his father's eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was murderous.
"Who's that man?"
"The slave maid heard from the people in the general camp that his name is Fu Xing."
"Really?" Wei Yan's eyes were not only sharp, but even his voice was full of murderous aura.
"How dare a slave and maid come at the risk of being a leader?" Although the slave girl has a lowly status, she has an unyielding momentum that would rather die. Wei Ba couldn't help but glance at her more, and found that in addition to a big blue spot on her face, which seriously affected her appearance, her face shape and facial features were very upright, especially a pair of eyes that were big and bright, even if she looked at Wei Yan, she did not show weakness.
"Well, if it's true, I'll save your life. If there is a lie, you know the consequences. ”
The slave girl bowed slightly: "General Xie." ”
Wei Yan snorted coldly, didn't say more, and immediately turned his head to Wei Feng and said, "You lead ten people to the baggage camp to ask for people." If anyone dares to stop him, cut him down for me. ”
Wei Feng answered, turned around and was about to leave. Wei Ba was startled and hurriedly stopped Wei Feng. "Daddy, big brother, how can the baggage camp break in? The prime minister blames it, how is it good? ”
"Humph!" Wei Yan looked at him unhappily: "Fu Xing saved your life, and he is the benefactor of my Wei family." When a benefactor is killed, how can we sit idly by? Even if the prime minister blames it, I have to bear it, what are you afraid of. ”
Wei Ba hurriedly shook his head and said, "Daddy, it's not that I'm afraid. I think there might be a mystery in this. ”
"Really?" Wei Yan sneered: "Tell me, what is the mystery?" ”
Wei Ba quickly sorted out his thoughts. This matter is actually not complicated, Liu Yu was crippled by Dunwu, Liu Yan was even more twisted off his finger by him, and slapped him so much, it is not surprising to retaliate against Fu Xing, although it came too quickly, too direct and too rough. But thinking about the temper of Liu Yan's father and son, this is also reasonable. Liu Yan injured Fu Xing, but sent him to the baggage camp to make him wait for death, which was clearly a trap, and the prey was the father and son of the Wei family. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more direct to be killed in the rear general's barracks?
"I think this is a trap set by Liu Yan, that is, that is, we want to break into the baggage camp. At that time, not only will Fu Xing not be saved, but we may also be put into it ourselves. ”
After listening to Wei Ba's analysis, Wei Yan had an understanding. He thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "I see." Ah Feng, you take some people to the baggage camp first to see what the situation is. If someone stops you, don't force you, just protect Fu Xing. ”
"Whoa." Wei Feng turned around and went out of the tent, ordered twenty guards, and left in a hurry.
Wei Yan stood up and flicked his sleeves: "Aba, go, come with me to the Hou General's camp and go to accompany the Hou General." ”
"Daddy?" Wei Ba was taken aback, why did Dad still have to go out in person, this is too much to give Liu Yan face, right? But when he looked at Wei Yan's face again, he felt a little suspicious, when did Dad become so calm?
"Rubbing something, it's not a little faster." Wei Yan snorted, raised his legs and walked out. Wei Ba didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly followed, and after taking two steps, the slave girl caught up and shouted: "Alas, the general ......"
Wei Yan didn't look back, waved his hand and said, "You come with me too." ”
"Whoa." The slave girl responded happily and followed closely behind Wei Ba. Wei Ba turned his head to look at her as he walked, and just saw her blue spot, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. What a face, all ruined by this blue spot.
When the slave girl saw Wei Ba looking at her, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly and hid her dirty hands in her sleeves. Wei Ba saw her shyness, couldn't bear it, and said slowly: "Don't worry, since General Zhenbei has promised you, he will naturally protect you." ”
"Thank you, General, Major."
Wei Yan didn't hesitate, and took a dozen or so guards out of the camp with Wei Ba, and went straight to the camp of the later general Liu Yan. Liu Yan belongs to the Chinese army, and his battalion is also within the scope of the Chinese army. Although he was a general, he had never fought a battle, and he only had more than 1,000 men under his command and occupied a camp. Just in a corner of the camp of the Chinese army. Wei Yan arrived at the front of the camp, but did not enter, stopped a hundred steps outside the camp gate, restrained the war horse, and waited quietly, while looking at Liu Yan's camp, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Wei Ba followed behind Wei Yan, and he couldn't see Wei Yan's expression, but with his understanding of Wei Yan, he had already predicted what was going to happen, and he couldn't help but feel nervous for a while.
After a short time, a horse galloped over, rushed to Wei Yan, and gave a salute on the horse: "General, the young general has arrived at the baggage camp, and he has been surrounded by people, and he can't get out." Fu Xing was also there, his injuries were very serious, and both legs were broken. ”
Wei Yan nodded, kicked the war horse lightly, and walked forward slowly, the already tall figure became clearer and clearer under the torch in front of the camp gate, as tall as a mountain.
The guards guarding the watchtower saw the heavily armed Wei Yan coming out of the darkness, and immediately became nervous, they pulled their bows and arrows, and rang the gong for the alarm, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Stop coming, move forward, don't blame the arrows for not having eyes." ”
Wei Yan was unmoved, and continued to urge the horse to move slowly, until he walked to the camp gate, and then said calmly: "Zhenbei General Wei Yan, come to visit the Hou General, please report." "---New week, ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
