Chapter 66: The Long Road Back to Beijing

We can only receive life if we give our lives. - Rabindranath Tagore

============================

Nishiyi Annex. The spring cold is thick.

A servant cautiously came in and reported: "Lang Jun, they are back." Wan Yanliang has been murderous on his face since the day he came back.

He waved his hand, and the little servant got the order, and immediately went down to lead them in.

The flower hall was suddenly covered with cold air.

The men stood with their heads bowed to one side.

"How?"

"There is no news from the Mongolian side, although there was indeed a woman dressed similarly to Miss Jane before, but the subordinates have already confirmed it. And the direction of Western Xia has also been searched. ”

"Similar attire?"

"It is the same as what Lord Lang described, and it was found near Linhuang. But the woman said that a merchant girl who claimed to be going to Western Xia gave her money and exchanged clothes and accessories, and she did not know this person. ”

I see. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, she was really smart.

"Search for your way back to Shangjing." He thought for a moment, "I'll lead the team myself." ”

"Also," Haya added, "the mysterious organization has destroyed a new batch of hundreds, and they have broken the tendons of these shooters, so that they can no longer go on the expedition." If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will make a big fuss. I heard that among this group of people, there is also the younger brother of General Pucha. ”

"General Pucha? Where did he come from? ”

"It was the father of General Pucha and the child of a Han girl, who returned to the sect on Yuan Xi to recognize his ancestors. General Pucha valued this younger brother very much. ”

"No matter how much you value it, it's a waste, and you can't make any waves."

"General, he's not among the wounded. He's missing. ”

Wan Yan Liang thoughtfully knocked on the small table, and the attendant standing next to him immediately stepped forward to fill the tea obediently, he unintentionally swept the teapot, and his brows furrowed. On that day, it was such a thing, so his head.

He stood up at once.

If Janeway were to return to Shangjing now, she would have heard such rumors from the streets.

The son of the prime minister, the hussar general Wan Yanliang went crazy for a woman, and openly disobeyed the order to go to war, just to take the sick woman to Mongolia for medical treatment. Zong Gan was so angry that he vomited blood, and almost drove this son out of the house.

Fortunately, Lord Lang is a person who values love and righteousness, and he is most assured that such a brother who is "not a climate" has come forward to protect him, and he is fooling around.

I also heard that this woman was originally a palace maid in the palace, violated the palace rules, and was fined by the queen to confiscate the Huanyi Courtyard.

If there is something good, he will immediately ask: "Isn't the prime minister going to be angry to death?" ”

In addition, someone immediately added: "I heard that I can't get out of bed for more than ten years because of my anger, you think, the expedition is imminent, but he disobeyed the military order for a lowly Han girl, how will the prime minister gain a foothold in the court in the future." ”

Of course, all the rumors did not involve Wan Yanyong.

It seems that just like his noble and indifferent temperament, he has nothing to do with these vulgar fans, and only occasionally someone says: "I heard that after this triumph, the little prince of Luwangfu will marry the Wulinta tribe." ”

But such a voice was quickly drowned out in the unrepentant discussion of Wan Yanliang and the girl's whispered longing.

And the protagonist in the center of the rumor vortex is going out with a black face at this time, turning over the red and brown horse, carrying the anger of being injured and the hatred of revenge, and quickly whipping away in the direction of Shangjing.

*********************

Wei Zhuang woke up in a sweet dream, and was greeted by Jian Wei's big eyes, he was stunned for two seconds, and said to himself: "Dreaming again in the morning?" ”

She tilted her head.

He was shocked, wasn't it, the hallucinations came out.

A smile broke out on the face in front of him, and a shudder knocked on his forehead: "Awake?" ”

Only then did he slowly come back to his senses, and before thinking about it, he asked, "You...... How could I be here. ”

She sent it away without a few words: "Are you going to join the army?" ”

He nodded, his face a little red: "The eldest brother sent a letter asking me to go to him." ”

Her heart moved, and she lowered her body and ordered: "If someone asks you, don't say that, just say that you were forcibly conscripted." ”

"Why?"

"I can't explain it to you now, but it's right to listen to me anyway." She looked around cautiously.

"And where are we going?"

"Go back to Beijing." She was succinct, "Don't go to the army when you go back, don't go." ”

He looked at her solemn appearance in a daze, and had a lot of questions in his heart, but another emotion eroded his thoughts faster, and his face became more and more red: "Since last time, I have often gone to the place where I broke up and waited for you, but neither you nor your uncle came over......"

She looked at him and was a little embarrassed: "Later, ah, there was something else later." ”

"That's right." He laughed.

Meng Qiufeng coughed beside the carriage, and she opened the curtains.

He pointed to the fork in the road ahead: "When we get to the intersection in front, we have to go separately, and it is that side that goes to Beijing." When the time comes, you will go on the road with Li Laosi and them. ”

He threw the little package in: "You forgot to take it when you left." Janeway thanked gratefully. There's a lot of value in there.

He turned his head and glanced at Janeway again, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't start.

The carriage parted ways with Meng Qiufeng at this T-junction.

After half a column of incense, Meng Qiufeng slowed down his speed, and he took out a scroll of paper from his arms, which was the map on Jian Wei's body.

Zhao Zhi's words echoed in his mind again: "If she is sincere, she will be sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty afterwards; If, she has betrayed...... You can do it. ”

When he got the map, he wondered why she didn't admit it, why she lied.

She didn't mention going back to the Southern Song Dynasty at all, on the contrary, she was going back to Beijing, and the rumors about going to Beijing were all true.

Meng Qiufeng didn't dare to think about it any further, he took a breath, and only allowed one thought to exist in his mind, he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than miss a single thought.

There can be no slip of the tongue, he thought of his sister's stunning face, for you, I am not willing to risk any failure.

A man in black on the side patted his horse and walked two steps quickly: "Third brother." ”

He tilted his head.

"Really?" The man still had a hint of hesitation, "She was personally brought back by His Royal Highness King Xin, and she is His Royal Highness's own cousin." ”

"Isn't the one who died in the Huanyi Courtyard my sister?" A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "If for the sake of the great cause of the family and country, my sister can die without complaint, and the person His Highness handed over to me to deal with can't he sacrifice a little for the sake of the society?" ”

He looked at the man in black fixedly: "We can't afford to be lucky, we can't afford to fail." ”

Yes, in front of Jiangshan Sheji, human life is like a dog, and all feelings are insignificant.

In some parts of the real world, human life is more noble than anything else, human rights are born, the state is established by the people according to the contract, and the original intention of the establishment is to protect the lives of the people, so they do not think that they should sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country, and surrender is recognized here. But in this era, in this dynasty, it is not possible, the country and the nation are connected, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. There is no right to surrender here, because the price of surrender once is enough to destroy a civilization.
