CHAPTER XXXIV
After the night was done, the next day the reinforcements were escorted into the border and joined up with the previous advance party. Prince Shi Shu ordered to go to Jianzhou for a temporary rest and recuperation, and set off to return to the capital three days later. Shi Shu, Ning Zeqing and his entourage stayed in Wei Mansion.
Wei Mansion is the house of General Wei Zhan. Forty years ago, General Wei Zhan followed the founder of the country, King Liwang, to conquer the battlefield, opened up half of the territory of the Zi raid, and now he is also the confidant of the Ming King.
The one who came to support last night was Wei Zhan's granddaughter Wei Qin. Due to the early death of his son, leaving only one daughter, Wei Zhan poured all his efforts into her, and also taught her the way to lead the army, and the army praised her. Recently, the old general was unwell, and after receiving a letter from the prince, he arranged for his granddaughter to go to answer it.
After entering the city, I saw General Wei Zhan and all the soldiers at the entrance of the city to greet him.
Qu Mingli already admired the martial arts person, and after seeing the old general, he felt even more cordial. He is over the age of six, still no signs of fortune, the physique of his youth is still retained to this day, although a little sick, but there is no sense of delicateness, when he came out to kneel to welcome the prince, it is also polite and thoughtful, without half of the old man.
If Uncle Xiu Gu reached this age, he should have such a body. Qu Mingli thought so.
Wei Qin also inherited his grandfather's bones, and his gestures are all generous and heroic, without a sense of restraint, which is very different from the general famous ladies.
"Old minister Wei Zhan pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince." When General Wei saw someone, he wanted to kneel down and salute.
Shi Shu hurriedly helped him up: "Thanks to General Wei's rescue, I was able to save the day, and I should thank you this time." ”
The two of them were so polite and walked hand in hand towards the house.
Although the Wei Mansion is large, it is very simple, there is no other decoration except for the necessary furnishings, from simple and simple, even Mrs. Wei, the daughter-in-law of General Wei Zhan, Wei Qin's mother, is not half arrogant, and she is a housekeeper at a glance.
After the general's affairs were arranged, he had a light meal with the Wei family, which seemed to be the delicacies of the mountains and seas that General Wei had prepared with great effort, but in fact, it was some ordinary food such as chicken, duck and fish, which could also be seen from the simplicity of the Wei family.
It was night, Qu Mingli took advantage of the moonlight to come out to breathe, and Ban Fei came to find him, but he just sat quietly beside him and was speechless for a long time.
Qu Mingli sighed, and finally asked, "There should be a lot of affairs in the army today, don't you have to be busy?" ”
Seeing that Qu Mingli finally spoke, Ban Fei relaxed a little: "The general has to think carefully, so let me rest." ”
"And what is he going to do with Yeqi and them?"
Ban Fei sighed secretly, originally he didn't want to mention this, for fear of provoking Qu Ming and couldn't leave his heart, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't get around.
"This ...... I don't know, I'm probably going to check the files of the four of them again, maybe they didn't use their real identities. On the side of Pinguo, they will also send a letter to inquire. ”
Qu Mingli sighed and said, "Although it's not good to think so, I hope I can't find out their true identities." Yeqi said that there are still brothers and sisters in his family, if they find out, I am afraid there will be no good results, Lao Bao also said not to accommodate the country, it should be afraid of implicating other countries. ”
Ban Fei was silent for a long time, and asked him, "You think so much about others, aren't you sad yourself?" ”
Qu Mingli changed his lying position, turned his back to Ban Fei and said, "What does this have to do with whether you are sad or not." No matter what mood I was in thinking about it, he was gone now, and it wasn't something I could control. I just felt that such a good person suddenly disappeared like this, and disappeared in a way that I could never have imagined, which made me afraid of the unpredictability of this world, and the journey became more and more unpleasant, and I was tired of living a lot. ”
Ban Fei patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Originally, everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has their own way to go. You don't have to worry about how Yeqi's path should have been taken, how to go, that's not something that any of us can understand, and you don't have to worry about a person who has changed his identity and purpose, let alone feel guilty for not seeing his difficulties as soon as possible, because no matter who you are, you can't change their thinking and become bigger. As long as you can live your life well, it's good. ”
Qu Mingli became more and more sour when he heard this, how could he guarantee that he would be able to live better than others. The journey of the child attack is only half a year, and the future itinerary is the sea of stars. Just like Yazi, everyone's secrets are hidden deep in their hearts, and how can he tell his worries. If one day, he left for these unknown reasons, would Ban Fei comfort himself like this?
"If I had never left the house, I wouldn't have met Yazzy, let alone these things, would my life have gone a little smoother, and I wouldn't have been so sad in retrospect?" Qu Mingli asked himself.
"How can this work!"
A person suddenly popped out of the corner, Qu Mingli looked back, it turned out to be Wei Qin, and he hurriedly followed Ban Fei to salute him.
Wei Qin motioned for them not to be formal, explaining: "I was sitting and resting on the edge of the corridor, and I overheard you talking, so I wanted to interject. ”
Wei Qin then said to Qu Mingli: "I listened to you, it seems that I regret the decision I made because I lost a friend. Although I don't understand what kind of relationship you have, I don't recognize that you have closed your feet because of your friends.
"Let me tell you this, I miss the feeling of my father holding me in my arms when I was a child, and I cried for a long time after my father died. But if you only put your feelings in regret and self-blame, how can you take the practice of martial arts as a great joy in life now.
Closing yourself off does not change the outcome of the past, but rather misses out on experiencing other good things. Instead of trying to escape and stay away, it is better to take the regret of your friend and keep him in your heart forever, which can be regarded as turning enemies into friends with suffering. If you blindly pursue a life full of sweetness, it is better to live the ups and downs together, but it is worth this life. ”
Ban Fei hurriedly echoed: "That's almost what I said, you don't want to be decadent because of this." Whoever left you, you should move on. If that person knew that you had given up your life because of him, I am afraid that they would be sad. ”
Qu Mingli looked a little embarrassed when he saw them comforting himself like this.
What happened to Yeqi made him have a lot of uneasiness about the unpredictability of life, and he was depressed for a while. After listening to the words of the two, I realized that no matter what kind of mood I was in to accept the facts, I still couldn't stop on the road of my life.
