Chapter 40: Relatives Meet

From the point of view of location, in the periphery of the entire camp, there are dozens of tents next to each other, which seem to be extraordinarily huge, and inside each of them, there are nearly 100 young people sitting on the ground, as if carved out of a mold, everyone from head to toe, full of dirty sludge, hair is glued together, and the whole body is constantly exuding a stench, these people are sitting on the ground, holding their knees with their hands, their eyes are dull, and their expressions are huddled together, and the spirit of the whole person seems to have been sucked away, it is simply a group of walking dead。

Suddenly, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a cold wind that was not biting, but felt unusually obvious, immediately swirled and rushed in, and the lights inside swayed, and the light became flickering and dimming, and these people sitting were almost instantly alarmed, and then completely subconsciously huddled together, desperately shrunk into a ball, like a group of chicks who saw the eagles flying over to hunt, and could only rely on this useless way to relieve their inner fear, which looked pitiful and ridiculous.

Lan Yunxuan, who was wearing a long robe that had simplified a lot from the style and was more convenient to move, showed a warm smile behind his back, he stood sideways at the door, stretched out a hand, and invited to the side: "Let's go in together." ”

As the representative sent by the capital this time, Zhang Wei, who was a permanent attendant in the palace, subconsciously looked at the people inside the moment the curtain was opened, the bleak scene, those wooden people, made him feel a little shocked, and after a few breaths, he finally reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Lan Yunxuan and said, "Mr. Lao." ”

In fact, the actual identity of these two ancestors in the tent is very high, after all, His Majesty the Emperor insists on an expedition to Liangguo, and the probability of its success and failure is really unclear, because there are too many factors in the middle that can interfere with the final victory or defeat, and no one can predict the outcome.

In order to avoid accidents, or to avoid being forced to conscript soldiers by the imperial court, these powerful families or adults sent their children to serve in the Imperial City Guard, after all, no matter how the whole country is mobilized and dispatched, it will not even leave no one to guard the important places in the capital.

Moreover, the family or force behind them has achieved the ultimate in defending the country, and their influence is extremely great, no matter what, they can get a piece of the pie, so they don't need to let their children go to the front line to take risks, and risk their lives to fight for the future like those mud legs.

For these wealthy families who have been inherited for hundreds of years, they have a cold-eyed attitude towards the change of dynasty, anyway, no matter how they change, they are all the objects to be enveloped by the imperial court, how can they be willing to follow the gambling table for the sake of Duanmu Shuofeng's idea of being alone, so this time, Gu Xuan really relied on this group of captives to grasp the hearts and minds of the major wealthy lords in the country, including those high-ranking and powerful bigwigs.

Zhang Wei was in front, Lan Yunxuan was behind, and the two of them walked in one after the other, and the people inside quickly recognized the person walking in front after they came to their senses, even if there was really someone who didn't know, there were other people who gave points and explanations on their behalf.

"Grandpa Zhang!"

"It's you!"

"It's Grandpa Zhang! It's Grandpa Zhang!"

"You're coming! You're coming!"

"Father-in-law Zhang, save 。。。。。。 ”

As soon as he saw Zhang Wei and recognized him, the souls of these people all came back, and they all became extremely excited, and quickly stood up, and some people immediately wanted to ask the other party for help, but just halfway through the words, he suddenly saw Lan Yunxuan, who came in with him, standing behind Zhang Wei, who had been smiling and standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes suddenly became shrunken, and he silently swallowed the second half of the sentence that he had not finished speaking.

Seeing this, the smile on Lan Yunxuan's face did not change in the slightest, he opened his mouth and said unhurriedly: "Ah, it seems that I am in the way here, then you talk first, and I will go out and wait." ”

This is a kind of self-confidence, there is no need to watch from the sidelines, because you can't play any moths, as if Gu Xuan imprisoned these second ancestors of the country like this casually, because he knew that it was impossible for these people to escape, and these embroidered pillows didn't have the courage to take risks at all, if Gu Xuan let them go here and secretly took the others away, maybe these people would stay here for a few days before they dared to come out of the tent.

Not to mention that Zhang Wei didn't have the intention of playing any tricks, he also knew what these second ancestors were, if he wanted to say that he cooperated with them to play some tricks, maybe they would sell themselves directly, but he didn't object, just turned around and thanked sincerely: "Thank you sir for your understanding." ”

Lan Yunxuan waved his hand and turned away silently, as soon as he left, these second ancestors, who were still trembling with fright just now, immediately surrounded them, one by one, looking at Zhang Wei, tears couldn't help but welling up in their eyes.

Where have they been wronged when they are so big, although Gu Xuan did not deliberately torture them, but think about it, what kind of life they lived in the past, it was brocade clothes and jade food, extravagant, every day they called friends, spent all day drinking, but now, they don't eat well, sleep well, can't take a bath, their bodies stink so badly that they attract flies, and they have to be crowded with so many people, they are simply a group of pigs in captivity!

After all, not everyone can be like Gu Xuan, calmly accept this gap between the top and bottom, and be able to endure a life that is different from the past.

"Grandpa Zhang, help us!"

"Father-in-law Zhang, I'm Wang Cunxun, do you remember? You hugged me when you were a child!"

"Grandpa Zhang, yes, is it my father who asked you to come? My father, that's the 。。。。。。 ”

"Where's my father?" Father-in-law Zhang, where's my father?"

"Grandpa Zhang!"

Everyone stood around Zhang Wei in the center of the circle, and after holding it in his stomach for several days, he finally found a suitable person to talk to, and he kept talking, Zhang Wei saw this, and could only quickly appease first: "Sons, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"

After a while, the scene was a little calmer, these second ancestors, all looked at him with blank eyes, waiting for the next thing with anticipation, after all, in their opinion, Grandpa Zhang came to visit them today, which means that they are willing and want to save them.

Moreover, Gu Xuan actually made it clear to them very bluntly early in the morning, he just wanted to use the lives of their gang as an exchange condition for entering the city smoothly, unless there was no room to refuse this proposal, then he would kill them in order to save rations, before that, Gu Xuan would never use a knife against them, but the more it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would definitely be for them, so they would be in a hurry, after all, who wants to put their lives in the hands of others all the time!

"Our family is here today, and it is indeed entrusted by your relatives, and at the same time, this is also the meaning of Da Situ, and it is also the meaning of the imperial court. Zhang Wei paused slightly, and then continued, "But how to make your sons go home safely and smoothly still needs to be negotiated with them." ”

Although in his opinion, it is basically impossible for the imperial court to agree to open the city gates, surrender directly, and let the enemy in for the sake of these people's lives, but how can this kind of thing be said at such a time, he will not directly erase the hope of these people for life.

However, Rao is like this, these sons and brothers, the little hope in the eyes of the second ancestor still slowly dimmed, they lowered their heads, hung their heads, a desperate mood began to spread, someone sighed, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, what else to negotiate? David has been defeated, is there anything to hold on?"

When Zhang Wei heard this, he glared at him, and hurriedly asked the man, "David was defeated?"

The man felt that his hope of survival was not very good, so he didn't bother to be polite to this eunuch anymore, so he directly sneered: "Heh, if it weren't for the defeat of the front, why would they dare to attack all the way to my David's capital?"

This is true, in fact, there is some truth, after all, if the front line is not defeated, why should the other party divide troops to attack the capital of their country, this is completely meaningless, you attack the supply line is more useful than running to the capital, if you lose the Liangguo, you now occupy the capital for a fart, don't you have to spit back when the time comes?

Zhang Wei was silent for a while, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This news, our family will also bring it for your sons, and please rest assured that the court will never ignore your sons, and Da Situ will do his best to let your sons go home safely!"

"Are you leaving?

As soon as they heard this, these people felt a little relieved, but then they were a little panicked, after all, it was not easy for a "mother's family" to come to visit, where were they willing to let him go away so quickly, as soon as Zhang Wei left, the spirit they had just raised was estimated to collapse again, so they immediately surrounded each other again, and kept talking to keep each other.

"Father-in-law Zhang, my father, oh no, it's the imperial court, what does the imperial court mean?

"Yes, Grandpa Zhang, why didn't my father come to see me? And my mother, where is my mother?"

"What about my grandfather, Grandpa Zhang, you can help me bring a message, please let him save me, save his grandson, I will be obedient when I go back!"

"Grandpa Zhang, please, help us!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

Zhang Wei secretly begged me to have a fart, but he couldn't say these words, so he could only stretch out his hand, pressed it, and continued to comfort: "Our family also knows that your sons' current situation is very difficult, but please rest assured, the court will definitely find a way, no matter what, it will definitely save your sons!"

At this point, it is useless to say more, no matter how many people try to keep them, Zhang Wei still squeezes them out, and as soon as they arrived at the area at the door, these people seemed to see the forbidden land of Lei Chi, and they didn't dare to go beyond half a step at all, so they could only stand helplessly inside, reluctantly watching each other leave.

And Lan Yunxuan also waited at the door, closed his eyes and recuperated, after hearing the sound of the other party coming out, he opened his eyes, greeted him, and then said with a smile: "If there is nothing wrong, I will send you away." ”

Zhang Wei didn't dare to snub him, so he quickly bowed down again, and then said, "There's nothing else, there's Mr. Lao." ”

After a group of people left under the escort of Lan Yunxuan and a team of Rakshasa soldiers, or under the surveillance, they walked to the edge of the moat, and went down along the rope tied before, got on a small boat, rowed water full of green algae, and returned from the waterway along the same road, and when they arrived in the city, the sky was already slightly brightened, and even if you listened carefully, you could hear the faint sound of shouting and beating in the distance, which was the workers who volunteered to build the Huangtian Sect Temple.

After entering the city, this father-in-law Zhang did not immediately rush to the Xie family's mansion to report to Xie Shi, but called out a person from the team alone, whispered two words in his ear, and then saw that the person broke away from the team, and one person went to the west sneakily, and the others lowered their heads, neither daring to ask nor to take a second look.
