198. Return to Beijing
Su Muling, who had just picked the Soul Rejuvenation Grass, heard a few dog barks not far away, and then there were footsteps. was so scared that she didn't bother to find Wei Huai'an and ran away.
But Su Muling's feet were not good yet, so he only ran a few steps, and there was another tingling pain in his ankle, and Su Muling fell directly to the ground.
Before Su Muling could turn around, a black shadow rushed out behind him and pounced directly on Su Muling......
Su Muling closed his hands and shaved at the black shadow, and screamed loudly: "Huai'an...... Save me! ”
Wei Huai'an was concentrating on hiding by the river at this time, staring at a sika deer that was drinking water, and when he heard Su Muling's shout, he turned his head and ran back.
From a distance, he saw a wolf dog about to pounce in front of Su Muling, Wei Huaian jumped up, grabbed the wolf dog's tail and was about to throw it to the ground......
"Shizi, don't!"
Pomegranate's exclamation saved the wolfdog's life.
Wei Huai'an turned around the ground a few times, and only after unloading his strength did he put the dog down.
Su Muling, who was half frightened to death, also saw the creature at this time, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Awesome? Pomegranate? ”
Bangbang was dizzy by Wei Huai'an, and when he heard Su Muling's voice, he still struggled to climb over, rubbing his big head in her arms aggrievedly, humming.
"Miss, I've found you." Pomegranate also knelt on the ground, plunged into Su Muling's arms, and competed with Bangbang for favor.
"Pomegranate, this is ...... Are you the one who saved us? ”
Wei Huai'an stared at the middle-aged man who appeared with the pomegranate, and his originally tense nerves finally relaxed his vigilance.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Shizhou below." Fang Shizhou hugged his fists and saluted.
"Brother Fang, this is our young lady, this is the mighty Hou Shizi, thank you for taking me to find them."
Su Muling was helped up by the pomegranate, and also saluted Fang Shizhou: "Thank you, Brother Fang." If it weren't for Brother Fang, we would have died a long time ago. ”
"This is not the place to speak, Ling'er, you take Pomegranate and Brother Fang up the tree first, and I will come over to meet you when I hunt the prey."
"I'll stay and help you." Fang Shizhou took the initiative.
Wei Huai'an looked at the iron ring in his hand and drew his sword: "Okay, I'll help you go to this iron ring first." ”
Fang Shizhou happened to feel that the wrist of the iron ring was painful, he took a step back, stretched out his hands, and closed his eyes.
Just listen to "Oooo With a few muffled sounds, the iron ring on Fang Shizhou's wrist was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Pomegranate tore two pieces of cloth from her undershirt and bandaged his wrists, which had been worn out by the iron rings.
Looking at Wei Huai'an again, Pomegranate raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Shizi, are you injured?" ”
"Minor injury, it's fine." Wei Huai'an's face was a little red, and Su Muling knew that it was caused by an infection in the wound.
"Huai'an, I'll put the medicine on for you first."
Su Muling pulled Wei Huai'an to the river, pulled out a strip of cloth from his body, and moistened it with water. Picking up Wei Huai'an's shoulder, he gently wiped the wound around with a cloth, and at the same time put the small handful of soul revival grass that he had finally obtained into his mouth and chewed it quickly.
The wound was cleaned, and the medicine was chewed. Su Muling spit out the medicine in his hand, carefully dressed him, and then took out a strip of cloth to bandage it carefully.
"Be careful, don't tear the wound open again."
Su Muling whispered and tidied up his clothes.
Wei Huaian smiled and agreed: "Okay, listen to you." ”
Su Muling and Pomegranate returned to the big tree where they were hiding with their sticks.
Half an hour later, Wei Huai'an and Fang Shizhou returned, bringing with them the two hares that had been roasted in the cave.
A few hungry men sat or stood and ate the two hares so much that they filled the bones into Bangbang's belly.
It was already noon. Wei Huai'an decided to drive out of the mountain. Because of their excellent and sensitive hearing, they avoided the search of the private soldiers several times.
Three days later, they finally came to a path. Where there is a road, there are people. They followed the path to a small village. Pomegranate gave a family a few taels of silver, and they changed their clothes and bought the family's donkey cart. After inquiring about the direction of the capital, Pomegranate led the stick back to Songjiang first, and the others took a donkey cart to the capital.
……
When the mighty prince returned home, the eldest princess couldn't close her mouth happily, and hurriedly asked her grandmother to instruct her small kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes.
In the upper hall, the eldest princess and Mrs. Hou sat upright, urging the subordinates to see where they were from time to time.
The subordinates went wave after wave, and finally Wei Huaian helped Su Muling to move into the main room step by step.
"Huai'an? Miss Sue? The eldest princess and Mrs. Hou were surprised to see the two of them dressed up in the village.
"It's ...... What's going on? How do you dress like that? "The silver was robbed?
"The folk girl knocks to see the eldest princess, Mrs. Hou."
Su Muling was about to kneel down and salute as she spoke, but was stopped by Wei Huai'an.
"Grandmother, Ling'er's foot is injured and it is inconvenient for her to salute."
Wei Huai'an's anxious voice woke up the eldest princess. She hurriedly asked Wei Huai'an to help Su Muling to sit down.
"How did you get together?" Didn't Su Muling set fire to the house and fly away?
"Grandmother, whether my father is at home or not, I have something important to tell." Wei Huai'an couldn't wait to see Wei Yao now, and didn't have time to explain the eldest princess's doubts.
"Your father is in the study." Mrs. Hou hurriedly replied.
"Trouble grandmother and mother to take care of Ling'er, Huai'an will come when she goes."
Wei Huai'an didn't leave after speaking, staring at the eldest princess and Mrs. Hou with a pair of eyes.
Mrs. Hou was stared at a little stunned, but the eldest princess reacted, glanced at him, and promised in her mouth: "You can go with confidence, Miss Su has a grandmother to take care of." ”
Wei Huai'an got the eldest princess's assurance, and then turned around to leave.
"Huai'an!" The eldest princess stopped him. "Come back soon, Grandmother has prepared your favorite meal."
"Okay."
Wei Huai'an smiled softly at Su Muling again, and then walked out quickly.
Wei Huai'an came to the study, Wei Yao was about to go out, and when he saw Wei Huai'an coming back, Wei Yao let him into the house.
"Why did you come back so soon?"
Wei Yao sat down in front of the window, looked at Wei Huai'an and frowned: "What?" Robbed on the road? ”
Wei Huai'an sat down, picked up Wei Yao's cup and drank all the cold tea inside, and then told Wei Yao what had happened in the past few days.
Wei Yao heard that Wei Huai'an was almost killed by Nangong Yi, so he slapped the table and stood up: "Okay, he Nangong Yi, he actually rebelled, and he wanted to kill my son, Huai'an, follow me into the palace to face the saint." ”
Wei Yao was about to leave after speaking, but Wei Huaian pulled his sleeve: "Daddy, wait, I also brought back the benefactor who saved my life." He was a private soldier captured by Nangong Yi, and he was willing to testify against Nangong Yi's rebellion. ”
Wei Huai'an had a headache for his father.
"Bring it together."
Wei Yao flicked his sleeves and left.
Wei Huai'an was very glad that Wei Yao did not ask Su Muling to enter the palace with him. He is a little selfish, Xiao Wenxuan is now the prince and lives in the East Palace. Nangong Yi rebelled, and the emperor was bound to let the crown prince intervene in the ruling of this matter. When Su Muling entered the palace, he inevitably met Xiao Wenxuan, and Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan met...... Wei Huai'an was unwilling.
In the palace, the emperor listened to Wei Huai'an and Fang Shizhou's descriptions, and his face became more and more ugly.
Nangong Yi was going to rebel, which he never expected.
If it was someone else standing in front of him at the moment, the emperor might have investigated them for spreading rumors. But kneeling below is the only son of Wei Wuhou, who is the least troubled person among the nobles in the capital.
Wei Huai'an's words, the emperor had to believe it.
"You said that Nangong Yi has 10,000 private soldiers?" The emperor looked at Fang Shizhou and asked.
Fang Shizhou lowered his head and replied affirmatively: "Yes." Nangong Yi's troops in the dense forest were about 8,000. It is said that there are still thousands of private soldiers hiding near the capital. As long as Nangong Yi gives an order, these people are the dead soldiers who will achieve his goal. The power is not to be underestimated. ”
"Prince, what do you think?" The emperor moved his gaze to Xiao Wenxuan.
"Father, Nangong Yi lost both the soldiers and the people who chased and killed, and he would definitely think that his father would send people to encircle and suppress him. The father sent someone to go at this moment, and the son thought that Nangong Yi should have already moved. ”
Xiao Wenxuan, who had been sitting at the bottom and did not speak, stood up with a solemn face.
"However, the place outside the city that can accommodate so many people is none other than the wilderness near the junction of Li Village and Merlin. Therefore, Erchen suggested that his father send troops to encircle and suppress these two places," the emperor listened to Xiao Wenxuan's analysis and nodded affirmatively.
"Get up. Ander, pass on Liang Fei. ”
Father-in-law An hurried to pass it.
Liang Fei, the commander of the Nine Gates, soon arrived, and the emperor ordered him to take 30,000 soldiers and horses to the wilderness at the junction of Li Village and Meilin and the dense forest where Su Muling found them to hunt down the rebels. Fang Shizhou served as a guide to guide Liang Fei.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 50,000 garrisons in the city, and if you transfer more than half of them at once, the safety of the capital ......" Liang Fei was a little worried.
"At the moment, more than 10,000 people in Nangong Yi are the biggest threat to the capital. If these people are not eliminated for a day, the capital will not be at peace. You take people to go back quickly, find Nangong Yi's rebels, capture Nangong Yi alive, and his subordinates will not surrender and will be executed. ”
There is King Ping in the front, Nangong Yi in the back, plus several sons born to him, the emperor doesn't know how many people still think about him under the dragon chair behind his back. 10,000 private soldiers are hiding around the capital, which is terrifying to think about.
Wei Huai'an followed Wei Yao back to the Weiwu Mansion and came directly to the upper room.
Wei Huai'an lifted the curtain and saw that the eldest princess was taking a nap in the room, he quietly walked to the courtyard and stopped a girl and asked her, "Where is Miss Su resting?" ”
The girl stared for a moment and replied, "The prince is asking the original Prince and Princess Ning?" ”
"Yes. Where is she? Wei Huai'an frowned, hearing the title of Prince Ning and Princess Ning, he felt awkward in his heart.
"Back to the prince, not long after the prince and the prince went out, the prince sent someone to pick up Prince Ning and Princess Ning."
What the? Wei Huai'an grabbed her arm and glared at her: "Who let her go?" Who would dare to let her go? ”
The girl had never seen Wei Huai'an look like this, and she was so frightened that she stammered and couldn't speak: "The son of the world...... The ...... of the Prince"
"The prince sent someone to ask for someone, who would dare not let go?"
The eldest princess woke up at some point, and was supported by two grandmothers and stood under the porch.
