Chapter 543 Chapter 66 So Brother

"They didn't settle in Jiuxian, and they didn't even enter the city at all, so they continued south?" Changxian, in the afternoon, the courtyard is covered with snow, and the ice ridges under the eaves reach the ground.

But because the earth dragon was burning in the house, Wei Changying was only wearing a jacket. She is plain and unadorned, but she is naturally beautiful, and she still makes the few Shi family 'daughters' who are serving her in their youth and 'spring' ashamed.

It's just that Wei Changying, who has already dressed up filial piety for her mother-in-law, is not satisfied with her appearance like 'jade' at the moment.

Through the embroidered curtain, after listening to Shi Lin's advice from Shi Lin, who rushed back after rushing to Jiuxian County to inquire about the news, her eyes gradually became solemn, "You go, please come over with me, except for Sister Deng, Jing'er and the entourage!" ”

Shi Lin heard the suspicion and anger in her tone, and said quietly with a slight surprise on his face: "Yes!" ”

He quickly invited Deng Zongqi, Pei Xinfu's 'wife' and Gu Xinnian to come.

After these people arrived, Wei Changying asked Shi Lin to serve tea, and sent him to retreat with the 'daughters' of the Shi family.

Shi Lin did not 'show' any dissatisfaction or expectation - he was the most measured person to be able to occupy a place in a family like the Wei family. With him taking the lead, those young 'daughters' of the Shi family thought that they had served Wei Changying with their hearts, and there were no other 'women' in front of Wei Changying, so they should be half of their henchmen, right? was swept by Shi Lin's eyes, although he didn't know, he still put on a submissive appearance and retreated respectfully.

Wei Changying noticed that for Shi Lin, his heart bowed slightly.

After the scene was cleared, Gu Rouzhang, who was the most anxious about 'sex', couldn't wait to ask: "Sister Wei, don't you have any news?" ”

"There's news, but it's just a suspicion at the moment." Wei Changying pursed her lips, and first briefly said that in the wine shop outside the county seat of Jiuxian County, some people occasionally found that the 'waiter' guard in the passing team was the inner 'waiter' - of course she couldn't say anything like a child's peeping, so she directly said that she found the inner 'waiter', and then the Wei guy suspected that the clan was passing by, so he reported the news to him.

Gu Rouzhang asked in surprise: "Who is in the clan?" I guess it's from the East Gate, right? Is there only a member of the clan? Are there any nobles who are with you? In this world, it stands to reason that everyone should go together when they meet...... I wonder if they've ever seen our family? ”

"I don't know yet." Wei Changying looked around at everyone and said, "But there is a problem, this sect only made a sharp start in that wine shop, and did not enter Jiu County, and continued to go south!" ”

She emphasized, "This person only has dozens of guards!" ”

"Only a few dozen cavalry guards? I heard that this left is close to Changxian and Jiuxian Taiping, leaving this piece, there are many bandits like cattle 'hair'. Even the purest Gu Rouzhang was stunned, "With such a small number of people, I don't even want to recruit more people in Jiu County...... Who is this? So bold? ”

She is simple, her second brother is not simple, and she thought of the key point at the moment: "If you are chased by the Rong people, you will not stop and fight in the roadside wine shop." He has not been chased by the Rong people, and now in this world, bandits and homeless people are almost everywhere, even if that person's 'guards' are all brave enough to block a hundred, it is impossible to guarantee that he will be fully protected! Since there is a shortage of manpower, how can you not go into the city to replenish or ask the people in the city to ask for help on your behalf? If you don't enter the city, then there must be an inside story! ”

Deng Zongqi and Pei Xin glanced at each other, and their faces sank: "Among the kings who have stayed in the capital over the years, the fiefs of King Run, King Dai, King Ying and King Cai are not in this direction; The Shuren Shen Jia had been deposed from the throne for several years, and had long lost control of the fiefdom, and it was useless to go back; The twelve princes of the first emperor were not favored, and their biological mother had died, and no one mentioned his title until the death of the first emperor, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was crowned a king of Su - but he had not yet designated a fief for him! The heirs of the first emperors below the twelve princes have not yet reached the age of kingship......"

"Could it be to whom?" Gu Rouzhang guessed.

"No, it won't." Gu Xinian said lightly, "In addition to being chased by the Rong people, it is worth taking the risk of rushing forward in this kind of world, or you want to go back to the fiefdom to stabilize people's hearts." If you defect, you should focus on stability after escaping. Otherwise, before they have run to the sphere of influence of the backers, they will first ask the bandits and homeless people on the road to be killed, wouldn't it be wronged? ”

Gu Rouzhang was 'confused' and confused: "Then this person is strange, it is said that since he uses the inner 'servant' to act as the 'attendant' guard, it has nothing to do with the clan's decision." The people of the clan have never heard of such a person who is not afraid of death, let alone looking for death, why do you need to look for bandits, directly hitting the sword of a soldier or raising a sword to kill yourself? Why take such a risk? She thought for a moment, "Do you think ...... Are they bandits in disguise?! Didn't you take advantage of the accident in the imperial capital and want to pretend to be the clan to do something bad? ”

Without waiting for others to answer, she thought of another possibility, "Or are they in a hurry and don't know that there will be bandits in the county after a long time?" Alas, these people are also stupid! ”

"Rouzhang, don't think about it, it's not your '' business." Gu Xinian glanced at her and said.

Gu Rouzhang said "coloredly": "Second brother, what you said is not right, now that it is a very good time, since we are walking together, how can we push everything on you, and I will sit back and enjoy it?" ”

Miss Gu and the current daughter-in-law of the Pei family think that what they said is reasonable, reasonable, and understands the overall situation, which can be described as a manifestation of the righteousness of helping each other in the same boat...... Why should you have a few words of praise from Gu Xinian, such as "Rouzhang, you have really grown up" or "Rouzhang is becoming more sensible"?

And yet—

Gu Xinian looked at her with a hint of pity, and said in a careless and understated tone: "Oh, what I mean for my brother is that Rouzhang is really not suitable for such things as ''." ”

The "......" hall was silent for a few breaths, and Wei Changying, Deng Zongqi, and Pei Xi elegantly picked up the teacup to taste tea almost at the same time.

Gu Rouzhang thought about his second brother's words for five breaths before he became furious: "Second brother! What do you mean by that? ”

"Mrs. Deng contracted a cold when she broke through, because we couldn't identify what the 'medicine' in Sister-in-law Wei's package was used for, so she delayed the treatment and is still bedridden!" Gu Xinian's expression was calm, and he said eloquently, "And although the eldest grandson of the Shen family did not catch the cold when she broke through, she was frightened, and she still has a blank expression!" Although it is said that after arriving in Suoyan Town, there are people serving the two of them, but how do you think the subordinates here can compare with what we used when we were in the imperial capital? Not to mention that the two of them are not very capable of seeing things now, if the subordinates who 'serve' are not careful, they will even steal and 'rape' and play tricks...... Didn't you wronged them? ”

“…… What does this have to do with my lack of fitness to '' about this? Gu Rouzhang asked with a confused face.

Pei Xi seemed to sigh softly.

Gu Xinian said gently: "Silly sister, after saying so much, isn't it just to remind you that we must leave someone to watch in front of them, lest they be treated badly?" He said, "Look, sister-in-law Wei wants to talk to us about things, and it is inconvenient for me to be a man with your husband and Brother Deng, this candidate is not you, who else can it be?" ”

"I see." Gu Rouzhang pouted and said, "Alas, it'......s very boring to accompany them in the room all day long."

"You just said that you can't push everything to us in these extraordinary times...... Gu Xinian sighed, "When is it, why are you still so ignorant?" ”

Gu Rouzhang, who thought that he was very sensible now, hesitated for a moment, finally made up his mind, stood up and said: "Then I'll go, don't worry, I will keep an eye on people personally, and I won't let anyone treat them badly!" ”

"......" watched her leave, Wei Changying and the others were speechless!

And Gu Xinian took a sip of tea calmly, and said: "Rouzhang likes to grab words the most, but he can't say anything...... She doesn't have to delay her work here, now let's get down to business! ”

Coaxed Gu Rouzhang away with a few words, but he was suspicious that Gu Rouzhang had just asked and answered a few words......

The crowd was speechless again......

After settling down, Wei Changying said: "Do you remember the lie that Xuanjia Wei answered at the East 'Gate'?" ”

This sentence was like a boulder entering the pool, and it immediately set off an uproar in the hearts of the three people: "Do you suspect that it has something to do with this person?!" ”

"Isn't this man suspicious?" Wei Changying asked rhetorically, "What do I think, I can't think of a clan protected by dozens of 'attendants' in disguise, why dare and why they are in such a hurry?" It's no secret that Jiuxian County is not far away from the past! According to common sense, after the clan withdraws from the imperial capital, they should be like us, first get rid of the pursuers, and then find an opportunity to join up with other clans or nobles! What's more, Jiuxian County has the property of my Wei family and the Qu 'Yin' Min family, and our two families have no grudges against the clan, and besides, this time the imperial capital fell into the hands of the Rong people, and it was the time when the monarch and the ministers worked together! This person didn't even inquire about whether Jiuxian County was peaceful and if there were any dignitaries in the city who could accommodate him...... Just keep going! ”

"We don't know the situation of the people who retreated from the East Gate." Wei Changying looked at them and said quietly, "Who knows, is this person because he was found out of his previous lies, so he didn't dare to stay or enter the city because he was afraid of meeting someone who was deceived?" ”

After a moment of silence, Deng Zongqi said: "No matter what, since it is a clan that has broken through from the imperial capital, let's catch up first, stop the people, see who it is, and then make a calculation." ”

Although his proposal was simple and violent, Pei Xi and Gu Xinian agreed after a little thought.

Because even the clan ...... In the case of several generations of faint monarchs, and now even the imperial capital is occupied by the Rong people, Wei Zuo has declined to the point that he can't even keep the temple, although the scholars who suffered a big loss in the loss of the imperial capital are still deep-rooted. They are not afraid of offending any clan!

Since he is not afraid of offending, this fastest and most direct method to prove Wei Changying's guess is naturally used.

The three of them all sat down and acted on their words, and since they had already made up their minds, they immediately got up and said, "Since the other party has dozens of horse guards, ordinary guys are not very useful. We must wait for the 'guards' to go before we can be sure, otherwise if there is a conflict, we will not be taken by the other party. ”

"You bring these two bottles of 'medicine'." Wei Changying had doubts when he heard Shi Lin talk about the situation of this pedestrian as early as noon, so he prepared things while he had lunch, and introduced at this moment, "The bottle on the left is the wound 'medicine', and the bottle on the right is ...... It is a poisonous 'medicine' of the divine doctor's vein, but it will not be fatal immediately. The number of guards on the other side is not worth mentioning compared to the bandits after the county for a long time, but it is a lot compared to our manpower. If you have the opportunity, you don't have to fight in close quarters, you just need to use this poison on the arrow, and find a way to stain the other party's blood with a little ...... This poison is slow to say that no one can solve it except for the divine doctor, even if you know the antidote, and the 'medicine' materials are complete, you can't do it in ten days and half a month. By that time, the man would have died long ago! ”

The three of them were overjoyed and said, "Sister-in-law's plan is very good!" We really don't have as many people. ”
