The medicine maid came back from outside and said to Dr. Wang and Wei Qilang: "I don't know which one is setting off fireworks, but it was a squib that exploded in the air." ”

Doctor Wang and the work in the room all laughed and breathed a sigh of relief, only Wei Qilang thought something was wrong, but Wei Qilang smiled and didn't speak, waiting for the medicine to wrap up all the medicine and hand it to him, he also looked very ordinary, not chaotic at all, only smiled and said: "Thank you Dr. Wang, I will send you the medicine money later." ”

He never brought money with him, but sometimes he forgot it, and Dr. Wang wanted to win him over, so he didn't take it to heart, and excused himself: "It's okay, we're also familiar with it, if you need it in the future, don't be polite to me, even if you come to grab medicine, the medicine servants all know you." ”

"Thank you very much." When Wei Qilang heard him say this, he didn't shirk anymore, he gave up his hand, said goodbye, and left.

As soon as he stepped out of the door of the pharmacy, his smile immediately disappeared, and he looked up at the purple smoke in the sky, and after looking at it for a long time, when the green smoke was about to disperse, he suddenly walked towards the outskirts of the town.

In a place on the outskirts of the town, there is barren sand next door, no grass, no shelter, and people rarely come here, which looks a little desolate.

But at this moment, in that desolate place, there was a pair of soldiers and horses, lightly armed with soft helmets, silver and white armor, holding a spear, a young man stood in front of an extremely strong and tall horse, his eyes were sharp and clear, his expression was tight, his face was fair, his appearance was extremely handsome, a pair of sword eyebrows were raised with a flying momentum, his posture stood straight there like nails firmly nailed to the ground, and the pair of lightly armed soldiers behind him were also like him, with a straight posture.

The horse behind him was snow-white, his limbs were vigorous, his muscles were strong, his eyes were also bright, and his whole body exuded an aura, and he snorted loudly from time to time, and the young man heard the sound of the horse, turned around and raised his hand to touch the horse's head, and whispered: "Your master is coming soon, and you are about to see him, are you happy?" ”

When the horse heard this, he raised his horse's head, and neighed very haughtily, and the horse's hooves kept stepping on the ground, and he seemed to be very excited.

Wei Qilang saw the pair of soldiers and the young man standing at the front from a distance, his expression froze, and then, without hesitation, he walked over.

When he walked in front of the pair of soldiers, the soldiers behind the young man suddenly knelt on the ground suddenly, all of them showed five bodies to the ground, extremely respectful, neat steps, strong posture, it seemed that this kneeling action was as if a person did it, no one spoke, no one raised their heads, they all knelt on the ground respectfully.

And the horse was already looking up and neighing at the moment, and then looked at Wei Qilang's eyes and blinked, and he actually revealed a kind of nostalgia like a psychic, and spread his four hooves, as if he had seen an old friend who had not been seen for a long time, and he walked forward to circle around Wei Qilang, and the horse's tail was also swept around.

Wei Qilang didn't look at the soldiers who knelt on the ground and respected him to the extreme, but turned his head to look at the horse, his eyes flashed with longing and concern, he reached out and touched the horse's mane, the horse calmed down and stayed beside him, and then he turned his eyes to the young man who did not kneel on the ground, and the young man also looked at him as he did, and the two of them were silent.

Half-paid.

"Seventh Brother ......" The young man was the first to break the silence and spoke softly.

Wei Qilang's expression did not change, and when he heard this title, he seemed to be a little confused, and his attitude looked a little tired.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground for a long time, and suddenly said in a very tired tone: "Get up." ”

The soldiers behind the young man stood up neatly as if they were kneeling on the ground, and they all bowed their heads slightly, their eyes did not look at a figure in front of them, and a brave spirit came out vigorously, which was suffocating. Wei Qilang glanced at it and said, "This is the border of the Chu State, very close to the barbarian tribes, what do you mean by releasing purple smoke and calling me over, and bringing the Wei family army over?" ”

When the young man heard this, he didn't speak at first, but turned his head and gave an order, and within a while, the soldiers disappeared in front of the two of them in a blink of an eye, and then he turned his head to look at Wei Qilang and said, "I'm here to pick you up." The Wei family is about to fall apart, and it can't be without you, otherwise sooner or later Su Liuyu will find a reason to impeach him in front of the emperor. ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Wei Qilang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then suddenly said, "Isn't there still a family master?" ”

This time, the young man lowered his head, and only said in a low voice: "You are not here, the court has changed, and various forces are pouring into each other, the Wei family is different from the past, and the old man is about to ...... No more. ”

Wei Qilang's eyes stared when he heard this, and he actually smiled, unusually a little happy, and spit out the resentment that had accumulated in his chest for a long time, and said, "What, he is dying, so I sent you to come to me to pick up this mess?" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly snorted coldly, a trace of boredom flashed on his face, and then he sighed and said: "Okay, you did a good job, I already know that you have been made a marquis, presumably the emperor has begun to reuse you, as long as you are cautious in your words and deeds, and do not rush for quick success, even if Su Liuyu wants to impeach you, there is no handle, then the Wei family will rise up again sooner or later, and I am no longer needed." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at him, remembering that time he was not by Aru's side, she almost lost the fetus in her womb because of her innocent accident, as long as he thought about it, his heart was gloomy and depressed.

After being silent for a while, he looked at the ground and said calmly: "That trip to Yecheng, in the name of Liu County, I will deliver goods to you, I will help you for the last time, and I will not be in the future, so you don't want to bother me again." ”

"But after all, you are the lord of the seven provinces, the crown of the three branches in the world, and the dignified Zhongshu Ling, if you leave for no reason, what should we do?" This person is the third son of Yongping Mansion who was made a marquis a few days ago, the general of Xia Xingzhi.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Wei Qilang, he changed the conversation, "Before I came, the old man asked me to bring you a message, he said that he was sorry for you and Orange, he was about to die, this is going to the underworld to make amends for Orange, if you have the heart, come back when the Su family is about to cover the sky with one hand." ”

"Reparation? Isn't he the most unwelcome of my concubine's mother? People have been dead for many years, so why bother saying that they want to go to the underworld to accompany their sins at this time. Wei Qilang said lightly, expressionless, "He said this at this time, just to let me see my mother's face and pull the Wei family." ”

Wei Qilang closed his eyes, thinking of Dong Ru in his mind, now that she is about to give birth, she has been with him for so long, and now he can't let go of her more and more, since he can't let go, only by completely solving these things can he really be with her.

said in a low voice: "What is the champion of the three branches, with a Su Liuyu and ruthless means, he can still bring down the Wei family." That's it, the Wei family is also a place to raise me, I won't abandon it, you go back, when the time comes, I will go to the capital. ”

When Xia Xingyi heard this, his face was relieved, and then he said: "Xue Yao misses you deeply, waiting for you to go back and marry her." ”

Wei Qilang listened, his expression remained unchanged, and he only said "I have a wife" and turned around and walked back to the town, leaving Xia Xingzhi and the pair of soldiers who appeared like ghosts standing, and the horse saw that the master was gone, and he was also anxious to keep plowing the ground with four hooves, but as if he was afraid or understood, he just stood in place and did not follow.

Jianglin Town belongs to the Qingzhou boundary, and the city of the political envoy who governs the largest administration of the Qingzhou boundary is Yecheng, and Yecheng is the largest city on the border of Chu within a radius of thousands of miles in the north.

In late autumn, the weather gradually turned cooler, Dong Ru's body became heavier and heavier, and the little guy in his stomach seemed to be unwilling to be locked in such a small place, and he moved from time to time as if he wanted to rush out, making Dong Ru's body even more tired and sleepy. Wei Qilang has rarely been to the rice shop recently, and Dong Ru is not sure which day she will give birth, so he takes care of her worriedly, and has prepared all the spare supplies she needs when she wants to give birth, just in case.

On this day, the weather was just gray, Dong Ru woke up, not that she couldn't sleep well, but five days later it was the biggest annual festival in the entire Qingzhou jurisdiction: the Wedding Festival. 【Remarks】

This festival is not spread from the Han people, but because Qingzhou is the most border state in the north of Chu State, Chu State is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by wild border land, the mountains and rivers are treacherous, birds of prey and beasts come and go frequently, and many people live in the barbarian uncivilized people, this wedding festival is spread from, a traditional festival of a minority of famous people who live on the border of Qingzhou for generations.

Since the founding emperor of Chu State unified the Seven Kingdoms and shocked the world, these surrounding barbarian tribes who wanted to settle in the Central Plains have honestly restrained a lot, and Chu has also opened the country, accepting these barbarian minority tribes to move to Chu to settle down, and opening trade, encouraging merchants to communicate with each other, and it will be safe and sound in the long run.

On the contrary, these Han people who live on the border have a lot of contact with a few famous ethnic groups, and their influence is mutually dissolving, and even their festivals are accepted, and over time, it has become the most grand annual festival in Qingzhou, but it is also a unique festival that can only be found in Qingzhou.

Dong Ru got up early, and also urged Wei Qilang to get up quickly, and while getting dressed slowly, he said: "Get up quickly, clean up, let's go to my father and mother to talk to see if they go to Yecheng to go shopping, if not, you can accompany me." ”

Wei Qilang was not happy, but he still got up quickly, worried that she would bump into it, so he took the shirt from her hand and put it on her, frowned and said, "Do you have to go?" This festival is not unique to this year, and you can go there next year, because you are so heavy that you can't go far. ”
