Chapter 90: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Worry
The night is as cool as water, the night wind pulls up the clothes of the people in front of the window, the long and wide brocade robe rolls with the wind, the friction of the cloth hunts in the air, the branches outside the window are swayed by the wind, most of the land in the south of the Lingnan is plain, and there are few mountains to block it, so the wind here is much stronger than the capital. Wei Sa seemed to be very satisfied with the coolness brought to him here, and let the wind hit his cheeks, only squinting slightly.
"Hulala" a snow-white pigeon landed on his window, "cooing" in a low voice, Wei Sa stretched out his hand to hold it up, the pigeon seemed to be very familiar with him, the petite head rubbed and rubbed on his palm, gently pulled out a paper roll from the copper ring on its ankle, patted its wings, the pigeon seemed to know that he had completed the task, spread his wings and flew away, not even a feather fell.
The content on the note is very short, looking at the handwriting, there is no doubt that Bai Jiang is there, there are only more than ten words, Wei Sa sat down on the chair with the note, and his hanging heart finally let go a little.
Bai Jiang wrote very clearly, telling him that Ruoxi was still fine with Wei Cheng.
Well.
Put the note on the lamp and candle and light it, and gradually turn into a puddle of gray ashes, blown by the wind, scattered and fled. The speed at which the panic dissipated reminded Wei Sa of his indecision when he left that day. Indeed, the news brought by Bao Yan was that he saw Ruoxi being taken away by Wei Cheng, and when he heard this, the unhappiness and anger that instantly rose in his heart made him ignore other problems, Ruoxi is not a woman who doesn't know the situation, he thinks that Ruoxi should not betray him because of his marriage with the moon moon, Wei Sa closed his eyes fiercely, and he was suddenly annoyed that he was biased at that time.
A strong wind blew in, and the faltering flame of the candle was extinguished with a pop. The room went dark in an instant, and the atmosphere was dull and quiet, only suitable for mourning the past.
Maybe I should really think about why I am so attached to her.
Is it because of her eight-sided exquisiteness? No, there has never been a shortage of such women around him, and there are people who are more eloquent than Ruoxi, is that because of her appearance? What's more, it can only be said that his face is not ugly, and he should not be attracted to him who is used to seeing the country. So what the hell...... Why? Wei Sa took a breath, his body and mind were completely relaxed, and suddenly, a pair of eyes full of hatred and determination came into his mind. The eyes that were as clear as autumn water flashed with a thick hatred, just like this dark night, and the thick could not be dissolved.
Reaching out and touching his chest, the injury inside had already fully healed, but it was only the small golden arrow that was pulled out by the imperial doctor in time, Wei Sa hooked his lips and showed a cold smile. The arrow wound left a round scar on his chest, like the pair of round eyes he saw on the city wall, which remained deep in his heart and could not be removed.
Yes, he finally found an answer for himself, and the reason why he was attracted to her was probably because of this, right? The contemplation and sorrow that passed by chance in her eyes confused his memory, and her eyes were so much like the man. Clenched his fists in some pain, Wei Sa leaned back in his chair, at first he was curious and suspicious of her and paid special attention to her, but ...... After paying more attention, this curiosity gradually changed its taste, making it difficult for him to resist the signals brought by his body, so he had the confusion of that night.
The white palm that was grabbed slapped his forehead, he left the capital for more than half a month, he suddenly missed the eyes that made him unforgettable for more than ten years, and the precipitation after the separation constituted a stronger thought, for a while, he actually wanted to throw away the mess in Lingnan, and rushed back to the capital quickly, she was alone in Wei Cheng, it was always too dangerous.
"Your Highness." Bao Yan called out in a low voice, and Wei Sa opened his eyes, "Come in." ”
"Your Highness, news from the west." After Bao Yan entered the room, he couldn't get used to the darkness of the room for a while, he hesitated, he didn't know why he suddenly didn't have the courage to take a step forward, Wei Sa's melancholy aura exuded from his body at the moment deterred him.
"Say."
"Lord Eagle...... On the way to the border pass, he was attacked by assassins, but fortunately he was rescued by his men in time, but ...... The Eagle Lord was seriously injured and is now on his way back to Beijing. After Bao Yan finished speaking, his heart was much more comfortable.
Wei Sa's eyes were shining like two stars in the sky in the dark, he was not too surprised, there have always been people who want the life of the Eagle King Wei Lie, and there are not a few, but in recent years, his status and the power in his hands have discouraged those people, and they dare not attack him recklessly. It seems that this time, Wei Lie's opponent is definitely prepared.
"How's it hurting?"
"The wound is on the left rib, it is a sword wound, a sword penetrates, and the injury is not light." Bao Yan sighed, "It's such a long way to return to Beijing, Lord Eagle ...... this time Hey......"
"Do you know who did it?" Wei Sa thought of a few candidates in his mind, but he felt that none of them were possible.
"I don't know. No clues have been found, but the information specifically indicates that the assassin is a person. ”
"Just one person brought down all the Eagle King's close guards?" Wei Sa smiled and shook his head, could it be that the guards around Wei Lie were all useless ornaments? "Keep checking and don't attract the attention of others." He sat up and tidied up the clothes on his body, he suddenly thought of another point, the Eagle King Wei Lie, whom Xiliang had always avoided like a tiger, was hit hard, and Xiliang's confidence was much harder, would the King of Xiliang, who loved his daughter like his life, still put Princess Xianyue in the palace of the Great Qi Kingdom? Thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Call Yuan Xing to come over, we should also have a quick battle in Lingnan." He stood up, the gloomy mood just now was swept away, and his heart had already flown to Miyagi, where there was someone to worry about.
***
"Your Highness." Fu Bo watched Wei Cheng pacing back and forth in the palace, his expression was very solemn, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. "The Eagle King is in distress, the form is different, and you have to think about it in the long run."
Wei Cheng wrinkled his eyebrows and put his hands on his shoulders, "It's really an unforeseen situation, isn't there a lot of masters around my uncle?" How could it be so badly hit? He was very puzzled, and at the same time, he began to worry about other things, "This matter must have been received by the third child, and the whole court will know about it tomorrow, and this time the Eagle King Party will fall apart." Fu Bo, prepare some things and send them to the ministers you mentioned earlier before my uncle returns to Beijing, those people are all discerning, they know what the overall situation is, and it should not be difficult to convince them. ”
He turned around, a smile on his handsome face, "It's just that you have to be ahead of the third person." Hehe, God bless me, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity fell, and the third child is not in the capital, it is an excellent time to do it. ”
Fauber replied yes and slowly exited the palace.
The next morning, Wei Ying was full of sadness, looking at the ministers of His Royal Highness with a solemn expression. "The Eagle King is unwell and has now returned to Beijing." He said it for a long time, what else could he say? How can such a thing as an attack be easily said in front of hundreds of civil and military officials? It's just that he didn't say it, these people had already received the news, right? He rubbed his eyebrows, showing a tired look, "Cheng'er." You talk about it. ”
"Father," Wei Cheng took a step, "Erchen thinks that the first thing is to send someone to pick up his uncle, the way back to Beijing is far away, and my uncle is unwell, so it is naturally good to have more people to take care of him." ”
"yes, that's right."
Wei Cheng's words were extremely tactful, but everyone knew the meaning of it, and if there were any more branches on the way back to Beijing, it might be difficult for Wei Lie to return to the capital alive. Then, their deterrent effect on Xiliang will be greatly reduced, and Wei Ying naturally does not want to see this kind of thing.
"Hey, Sa'er is not here, this matter will be fully entrusted to you, take your uncle back to Beijing, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and other matters can be discussed with the minister, hey." Wei Ying let out a long sigh again, the white hair on his sideburns trembled with his movements, showing his old state more and more, and he waved his hand, "Retreat." ”
He is already old, and his ambitions have dissipated somewhere, and his favorite thing to do now is to sit in the imperial garden, watching the flowers and the sunset, and even the morning morning is starting to get bored. "Cheng'er, let go of your hands and feet to do it, in the end you young people in this world." Before he left the dragon chair, he said to his son.
"Yes, father, son, will do his best." After Wei Ying's figure was completely gone, the corners of Wei Cheng's mouth were hooked with irrepressible laugh lines. The ministers glanced at each other, Wei Ying's last sentence was too obvious, no matter who the Wei Cheng brothers were, the matter of inheriting the unification would not be far away, they ...... You should also see the situation clearly as soon as possible and make a long-term plan for yourself.
"Your Majesty......" The guards came in to pass the word, but when they saw the empty dragon chair, his gaze naturally fell on Wei Cheng, "Your Highness." ”
"Something?"
"Lord Furong...... Outside the temple...... He said that he would meet the Holy One. "The guard was very embarrassed. Wei Chengran nodded, she should have known about Wei Lie, and it was inevitable that she would make a fuss.
"This king is going to see her, and if you have nothing to do, please retreat from the court." He said it extremely politely, but there was already a hint of arrogance in his eyes. With that, he strode out.
"Big brother." When Wei Cheng came out, it was Wei Furong and Wei Ziyan who rushed over after hearing the news. Wei Ziyan's eyes were red from crying, and when she saw him snorting aggrievedly, she came over and grabbed his sleeve, "Big brother, uncle, he won't ......" Before she finished speaking, tears fell again. In comparison, Wei Furong looked very calm, the sadness on her face was so shallow, and she squeezed two tears.
Wei Cheng patted his sister's hand, no wonder Wei Ziyan was even more sad, she was lively and naughty like a boy when she was a child, she liked to ride a horse and shoot arrows, Wei Lie was also in the palace at that time, she liked Wei Ziyan very much, taught her to ride a horse and hunt, Ziyan followed behind Wei Lie like a little tail all day long, and her uncle shouted shortly.
"Uncle Jiren Tianxiang will naturally be fine, besides, the eldest brother will send someone to pick him up soon, and promise to give you a good uncle." Wei Cheng let his tone be as relaxed as possible, but in his heart, he was really not sure if Wei Lie would come back alive. After all, he was old and badly injured.
Wei Ziyan finally broke into tears and smiled, and took her sleeve to her tears, "I believe in you, big brother." Looking at her smile, Wei Cheng also laughed, turned his head to Wei Furong, who had not spoken, and said, "Furong, you don't have to be too sad. Wei Furong nodded. Okay, I still have some things to take care of, so you two sisters can go back and get some rest. "He still has to hurry to the Qingyin Palace.
When Wei Cheng and his guards left, the last bit of sadness on Wei Furong's face also reined in, and she glanced coldly at Wei Ziyan, who had a sad look, "My father is not dead yet, you are crying happily." ”
"You!" Wei Ziyan raised her head and stared at her with red eyes, "You are not allowed to curse your uncle." "How did she say such unlucky words?
Wei Furong sneered twice, stopped talking to her, and turned to leave. She has always had a very vague impression of Wei Lie, she only remembers that he is an extremely strict father, never smiling, she was very afraid of him when she was a child, and when she was older, she was still afraid of him. She didn't understand why her father always talked and laughed at Wei Ziyan, naturally, she blamed all these sins on Wei Ziyan, who robbed her father's love.
