The geographical location of Nanyuan is special, and the weather will become warmer soon after the Spring Festival every year, which is the most lively time of the year in Chaoyang City.

However, there is another thing that quickly spread in Chaoyang City and has become a topic of conversation among the people after dinner, that is, General Wei, who has been stationed on the northeast border all the year round, is about to return to Beijing.

If you want to say that this General Wei is really young and promising, he has become a general at a young age, and he is really a rare talent, but it is rumored that his appearance is a little worse.

Some people also said that he came back to Beijing to get married, and I heard that he had a marriage contract with Zhang Yuan, the daughter of Lord Zhang, the head of the Criminal Department, and saw that Miss Zhang had already passed the marriage, so the emperor specially transferred him back.

In the early years, there were always some nameless small countries harassing the northeast border of Nanyuan, often plundering the grain and livestock of the local people, so the emperor ordered him to send him to garrison the frontier, but he did not expect that he would not return for eight years.

"What should I do, miss, the slave maid heard that General Nawei is about to come back! If he comes back, the young lady will have to marry the general's mansion! The maid's voice sounded a little impatient, and the figure kept moving around the room.

The person who spoke was Ning Xiang, Zhang Yuan's personal maid, and the reason why she was so anxious was because she was worried about her own young lady.

"Miss! You have something to say! "People outside say that although this General Wei is young and promising, his appearance is extremely ugly, and he is not born, he was destroyed on the battlefield, and she also heard that because of the perennial garrison on the frontier, this General Wei has extremely dark skin, and the whole person looks like a piece of coal.

When I think of the people who are soldiers, they are all strong men with five big and three thick, and there are no black spots on the skin, but I am afraid that I will have nightmares if I look at a few hideous scars on my face! Her young lady was born so beautiful, wouldn't it be a waste if she married such a reckless man.

After hearing her words, the person in front of him not only did not get angry, but said with a smile: "You also said that I want to marry, and it's not you, I don't worry about what you are anxious about." ”

After saying that, she continued to move in her hand, this is the handkerchief that she started to show when her father mentioned to her last year when she mentioned her marriage to Wei Yan, and then because of her body, she has been delayed and failed to show it early, and now it is almost finished, she must be able to give it to his future husband on the wedding night, thinking of this, her face is hot, and she is a little shy.

"Miss! It's not that you don't know what people outside say about that General Wei, you really want to marry that ugly bastard! ”

"Hugh has nonsense, General Wei is a great hero who defends his family and country, and his appearance is naturally a talent, how many women in Chaoyang City want to marry him."

The maid pouted unhappily. "Miss hasn't seen General Wei again, how do you know that he is a talent, I think you are the only one who wants to marry him in Chaoyang City." People outside said that if they didn't have a marriage contract, they were afraid that it would be difficult for General Wei to find a daughter-in-law, and which girl wouldn't dislike him when she heard it.

As soon as she finished speaking, her young lady's hand was pricked by the needle, and blood beads immediately came out. "Miss, are you alright?"

Zhang Yuan put her finger in her mouth and sipped it, she has a lot of work for such a big woman, and she has never been hurt by this needle, but today is the first time, she shook her head, "It's okay." ”

"And said it's okay, you've never hurt your hand, it's all because of that ghost general, I think the old man was deceived, what kind of noble man is a bad man."

"Shut up, if you keep talking, be careful that I will punish you."

Ning Xiang knew that she had made a mistake and quickly knelt on the ground. "Slave... The slave knew she was wrong. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't blame her in her heart, because her marriage contract with General Nawei was indeed a red thread deliberately forced by her father.

When she was born, there was a group of people who happened to live in her house, her father wanted to let the Taoist master calculate for her, to see what her fate would be in the future, who knew that the Taoist chief after seeing her face changed greatly, holding his beard and pondering for a long time before saying that she stepped on the lotus and was born with a lotus flower mark on the sole of her feet, and there will be a great catastrophe in her life, if you don't get the help of nobles, you are afraid that you will not live more than twenty-eight, and your father was furious and drove him out of the house.

Her father had just been driven away, but he immediately ran to find him, for after he had gone, her father opened the shroud and looked at the soles of her feet, and found that there was indeed a lotus flower mark.

The Taoist who went and returned only left two birthdays and left, and did not explain the meaning, one of them was hers, and the other was the noble man he said, in order to find the person with the birthday on the paper, her father almost secretly checked the birthdates of men and women in Chaoyang City, and finally found that the person who matched the birthday was only the son of General Wei.

If it is an ordinary person, it is okay, but it is the son of a general, her father is just a small head of the criminal department, how can he climb to the general's mansion, fortunately, her mother is friendly with the general's wife, so when she is older, her father asks her mother to often take her to the general's mansion as a guest, and the general's wife, who has come and gone, actually took the initiative to mention the marriage, so the two families made a marriage contract for them.

She didn't know that this matter was deliberately done by his father, but later because the outside world's evaluation of her fiancé was too bad, her father was afraid that she would not want to marry so he told her about it, in fact, even if her father didn't tell her the reason, she was willing to marry Wei Yan.

In the palace, Jun Yan stayed in Funing Palace as always and was reluctant to go back, Jun Hao thought that he was scolded by the kite concubine again, but he heard him say that the kite did not scold him but did not want to go back.

Jun Yan grew up in the palace since he was a child, except for the palace, he has only been to the palace, he can know where he has gone with his eyes closed in such a big palace, and the palace has been familiar to him, when will he have the opportunity to go to other places to see!

"So you just don't want to go back because of that?" If it's because of this, then there's no point in him staying in this Funing Palace and not going back.

"It's not all because of this, my mother has been worried about it recently, sometimes I suddenly stare at me and look at me for a long time, and I didn't respond when I asked her what's wrong, and I was stared at by her this morning and my scalp was numb."

After listening to him, Jun Hao thought in his heart, the person opposite will turn fourteen years old in June this year, it seems that Concubine Kite is afraid that there are some things that she can't hide, so it's like this, I really don't know what she thought at the beginning, risking her own flesh and blood life, what is the purpose.

"She's probably worried about you."

"What do I have to worry about, by the way, do you know that General Wei is coming back?"

"Hmm."

He had heard of this person but had never seen it, even Jun Yan had only seen it two or three times when he was a child, but he had never been in contact with it.

"I heard that he was disfigured, and I think it must be that God is jealous of the talent and is reluctant to take his life, so I started on his good-looking skin." Although I only glanced at it a few times in a hurry, that face can definitely be said to be good-looking.

Wei Yan, who was on the way back to Beijing, suddenly sneezed, he has always done things above board, but he didn't expect that there would be people who would say bad things about him behind his back, he didn't know that there were more people who said bad things about him behind his back, but he didn't know it.

His father had already sent him a letter to let him go back, and he didn't want to go back because his days in Qizhou were so nourishing, and he didn't want to get married, so he kept dragging it out, but he didn't expect the emperor to personally order him to go back.

The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, although he is not afraid, but if he resists the decree and does not obey it, it is not his Wei Yan who will be punished, but the entire Wei family.

"General, we have three days to reach Chaoyang City."

"It's okay, there's no hurry." He deliberately made the horse go very slowly so that he could arrive later, so he didn't care how long it would take.

As he walked, suddenly the birds parked in the treetops on both sides flew in all directions as if frightened, and even the oncoming wind carried a hint of danger.

Wei Yan had already noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't say it, and the lieutenant general next to him seemed to have noticed something unusual, and called him, he compared the action of individual words to let his subordinates continue to move forward, and suddenly the deputy general behind him shouted General be careful, a man in black attacked him from his right side, he quickly leaned back to avoid the sword, and then a large group of men in black rushed out of the forest to surround them.

The man in black at the head shouted at him. "Guard, your time of death has arrived."

He hasn't been back for eight years, and he can make enemies across thousands of mountains and rivers, it's not easy, presumably the other party knew that he didn't bring many people back, so he wanted to take the opportunity to solve him. "Then can Your Excellency tell me who wants me to report to Lord Yama at such a young age?"

"Hmph, the dead don't need to know so much, let's die." After saying that, he rushed towards him.

The man in black never expected that although there were not many people led by Wei Yan, all of them were first-class masters, and he brought so many subordinates who were not his opponents, and he soon fell behind and was captured by him.

"Say, Who sent you?"

"Hmph, leave the question and ask me underground." After saying that, he immediately bled and fell down.

Wang Fei stepped forward to probe his breath, then shook his head. "It's dead, it's poison."

He clapped his hands and looked back at his foal. "It's hurt, let's take a break and give it some medicine." After speaking, he walked and sat on the ground, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Wang Fei couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then took out a bottle of hemostatic medicine from his arms and sprinkled it on the injured part of the horse's body, the horse may have felt the pain and trembled all over, and dusted off the medicine powder that had just been sprinkled, and he had to patiently give it again.

Jun Ye heard from an informant that General Wei would arrive in Chaoyang City in three days, but he did not see him return after three days, and he sent someone to ask only to learn that he had been seriously injured by an assassination on the road, so he was delayed, and he was afraid that it would take two days to arrive.

Wei Yan is a prodigy of leading soldiers, he does not seek fame or profit, and he also voluntarily guards the frontier to maintain peace, which makes Jun Ye a little unpredictable, and he ordered that the real culprit behind this matter must be thoroughly investigated.
