83. Family letters
These days, the rain is quite comfortable. Liang Weng was too busy to deal with trivial matters in the country, and General Yao personally went to Xian Zhu Lake to supervise the formation to prevent the captured Xia army from causing trouble.
The only one who can come to invite rain is Zong Zheng of Qiu Chi Kingdom. Because the Penglai banquet of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a state banquet, and Invite Yu, as the protector of the country, should also attend with a national gift. Invite Yu grew up in the underground palace since she was a child, and naturally no one asked her what to do or what not to do. This time, I was thoroughly taught by Zongzheng, and I knew what it meant to learn the rules for the first time in my life.
She deeply sympathized with Zimo at this time, but she thought about how boring he was when he first learned the etiquette of the festival. It's annoying, but since you don't want to lose face in front of the enemy country, you have to learn obediently.
On the first day of the fourth lunar month, Qin Zhongzhi brought his mother's first letter to his family.
The letter is very brief, "I hope that my son will be safe every day." "Along with the letter, there was also a packet of sugar chips and cakes made by my mother.
Qin Zhongzhi couldn't bear to be relieved when he saw Yu Yu crying while eating sugar cakes, "Now the girl's mother is called 'Qingyin Shitai', and the people who went there said that they asked Shitai to write a letter to the girl, and Shitai put down the pen a few times, and finally wrote this sentence." Our people also asked her, is there anything else to instruct? Mrs. Shi said, there are too many, but nothing is so important. ”
Invite Yu listened to the tears, and the tears flowed even more fiercely, "Why didn't she come to the revenge pool with your people?" Doesn't she want me? ”
Qin Zhongzhi sighed before he said, "Mrs. Shi said that she has taken refuge in the Dao Sect and forgotten her past. But Weichen felt that Mrs. Shi was afraid of dragging the girl down. It is easy for the girl to protect herself now, but if someone takes the safety of the teacher as a hostage, it will inevitably make the girl hindered. Weichen sent the children of the subordinate clan this time, although he was careful and careful, it was inevitable that someone would pay attention. Shitai's business, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for long. Girls need to plan ahead. ”
Although Qin Zhongzhi's words were not good, he said them to the point, and Yu Yu listened to the head and said, "I have too few people to use now, and when the people sent by my father come, I will send a few good people to protect my mother secretly." ”
Zimo also said at this time, "After you left for the Xia Dynasty, I went out to prepare supplies and met the general. The general also mentioned the safety of his wife, and it was not unarranged for him to be by his side. ”
Invite Yu awkwardly refused to appreciate it, "If he hadn't married that fox spirit into the door, how could my mother become a monk!" Pretending to be a good person here at this time, I don't know what kind of idea I have! ”
Zimo knew that Invite Yu was wrong, and said with a smile, "Then what did you tell me to bring a bearskin knee pad and elbow pad for the general?" ”
Seeing the deflated appearance of inviting rain, Zimo couldn't help but pat her head and said, "How can a family have an overnight feud?" The general has been doing things for you for so many years, you should know. This time I went to ask for someone, and he handed me the list at that time, saying that someone had already prepared it. As soon as you open your mouth, you will enter the pool of hatred one after another, in case of human eyes. ”
The rain is silent. She has an indescribable emotion for her father, before entering the underground palace, she was the pearl of the palm of the sky favored by her father, the girl of the Tan family. She loved her father, sometimes even more than her mother. But after entering the underground palace, although he knew that his father had a lot of unavoidance, he still couldn't complain. To this day, she herself doesn't know how to face her father.
Zimo knew that she was entangled in her heart, and comforted, "If you can't figure it out for a while, don't think about it again." Maybe in the future, you will naturally figure it out. ”
Invite Yu sighed slightly, nodded very lightly, and then instructed Qin Zhongzhi, "The people from my father's side will be handed over to you to receive." Slowly infiltrating in, don't be anxious, and definitely not let the Liang family and the Yao family notice. ”
Qin Zhongzhi had just stood beside him for a long time without squeaking, and at this time, he heard Yu Yu instructing him, and hurriedly received the order, "Yes, Weichen will be careful." Seeing that Yu Yu had nothing else to say, he bowed down and said, "Weichen retired first. ”
It wasn't until Qin Zhongzhi walked away that Zimo asked, "Are you afraid that he will turn against him one day?" After all, he'd done it once. ”
Invite Yu was not worried at all, "Qin Zhongzhi is a loyal and righteous person. Although they were hostile to each other at the beginning due to their different positions, Qin Zhongzhi did not have a trace of betrayal to the old master of Tuoba Pojun, and could even be called a dedication. When he chose to submit to me, he had already made complete plans for Tuoba Po Army. What's more, the skin will not be attached to the hair? In his present situation, if I fall, how can his ambitions, his position as prime minister, and even his life be unharmed? ”
Zimo still has concerns about Qin Zhongzhi, "When you entrust him with his life, if he can still be unswerving, it is not too late to trust him." ”
Following his mother's letter, Invite Yu finally waited for Yao Zhongjian's news.
When he returned to China that day and saw that Yao Zhongjian was not there, he ordered Liang Weng to send someone to visit in private, and he couldn't let go of any clues. A month passed in the blink of an eye, and they finally found the news on the Qiuchi border. An attendant who had been with Yao Zhongjian all the way was still alive.
When the attendant was brought up, he was ragged and unkempt. Although he was still conscious, he had obviously been tortured and had large and small scars on his body. When the man was pushed up to the temple, he seemed to be unsteady on his feet, and he threw himself on the ground and did not move.
When Invite Yu saw his appearance, he remembered the day of parting, and everyone said goodbye to her in high spirits, and it was inevitable that he couldn't bear it in his heart, and his tone eased a lot, "You raise your head." ”
When the people on the earth heard the sound of inviting rain, they were first agitated, and then, as if in disbelief, they brushed away the messy hair in front of them with their hands and looked at the temple. When he saw the rain, the seven-foot man burst into tears.
He reluctantly tightened his legs, forced himself to kneel, and then bowed to Invite Yuxing, "I think it's rare to see Xianji in this life." ”
His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and although he was angry, he was extremely respectful.
Invite Yu glanced at Qin Zhongzhi from the corner of his eye. A group of men and horses were all dead, and the bodies could not be found, but this man survived. With Qin Zhongzhi's character, he would never trust this person. And Liang Weng, he has been sitting quietly since he was just now, probably avoiding suspicion. The envoys were all selected by him, and whether this person was an internal ghost or not, Liang Weng would not ask more about this matter.
Invite Yu was not in a hurry to interrogate, and passed the imperial doctor to treat the person's wounds. Because there were too many wounds, many of which were in hidden places, the imperial doctor could only simply apply some wound medicine to help him bandage it.
Invite Yu ordered someone to take his arm and let him sit on the ground before asking, "Which way did Yao Zhongjian go?" ”
The attendant replied in a low voice, "Lord Yao took us around in a big circle, and after arriving in Jeju, we went up the Yellow River again. ”
"Where was the attack?"
"East Qinzhou."
Invite Yu Liu frowned slightly, how could he be there? If you want to start, whether it is on the bank of the Yellow River or in a remote village, you can do it. Why did you choose the prosperous East Qinzhou?
Yao Zhongjian's route was chosen by himself, and it is said that no one should know except for the people in the team.
Invite Yu unconsciously rubbed the corners of his forehead and continued to ask, "Who did it, did you see it clearly?" ”
