Zhu Lei finally got rid of the Ji Yi people, and he couldn't take care of the appointment with his colleagues, so he ran directly to the Jiang family.

After receiving the news, He Shi left the matter and rushed back, looked at the harmony between the family and the outside of the house, and asked in surprise: "What are you doing calling me back in such a hurry?" ”

"Master, you must help the apprentice!" Zhu Lei was really scared, with his familiarity with Jiang Zheng and his wife, there was no need to make a big gift on the New Year's Day, but he knelt down in front of He Shi with a "plop", and wailed, "The apprentice went to the appointment of his colleagues today, but he was stopped by Miss Ji halfway......

When he said this, He Shi was taken aback: "Miss Ji?!" Isn't she under the control of Uncle Ji, and she won't even let us Mingpeitang come? ”

"How do you know?" Zhu Lei said with a sad face, "It's not easy for the apprentice to get out!" No, I didn't dare to go to my colleagues, so I came to you first...... You have to say in front of Mrs. for the apprentice, the apprentice has never thought of provoking Miss Ji. Can...... But Miss Ji, she stared at the apprentice, what should I do? Can't you come back? ”

He Shi had a headache and said, "You are quieter!" Don't think that our family can talk casually! I don't want to think about it, this wall has ears, in case I hear something and run out and pass it. That's it, Miss Ji's reputation has been ruined, isn't it your fault? ”

Zhu Lei wanted to cry without tears, thinking to himself why was he so unlucky? I knew he wouldn't be coming back!

At this moment, he said: "That disciple or go back to the army?" ”

"Isn't it empty of heart when you leave now?" He sighed, "You stay at home first, I'll go see Madame and talk to Madame." If the lady sends a message telling you to go, you can go again. ”

He scolded him again, "I asked you to marry earlier, but you just didn't listen!" Now you know what happened? ”

…… When Wei Changying heard that He asked to see her, she was busy coming in, and asked with a smile: "Isn't my aunt looking at the accounts?" ”

He smiled reluctantly and said, "I have a little private matter that I want to talk to my wife about alone." ”

Next to him, Lian Ju and the others hurriedly looked at Wei Changying, and when they saw Wei Changying's head, they retreated together and closed the door.

At this time, He Shi said that Zhu Lei met Ji Yiren on the road and was entangled by her, and Wei Changying heard that the whole person was not good-this righteous daughter...... Why doesn't this righteous girl have any girl's reserve?!

She ran to herself and asked who she wanted to marry, this is what the mother and daughter said behind closed doors, no matter how shameless it is, no outsiders know anyway. When you go out, you can still put a shelf!

actually ran to the man in person to force marriage...... The man who dares to do this in these years, unless the family is too much higher than the woman, is it also ironclad to be charged with molesting and sent to the official or lynched? !

is Shen Shuming's unconscious nephew, he likes Princess Qingxin, and he didn't run to the palace to call Princess Qingxin to follow him...... I also asked my uncle and aunt to discuss and ask for the lord!

After drinking two sips of tea and suppressing the shock, Wei Changying calmed down and said: "I believe in Zhu Lei's character, and I saw last time that he was indeed uninterested in Yiren." Auntie, don't worry about this, let me ask what is going on with the Ji family? ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and retired with a thousand thanks.

And then Ji Chunmian, who was invited over, heard that his daughter actually ran out of her father's care, and ran to the street to stop Zhu Lei...... Ji Chunmian's face turned from red to blue, from blue to green, and he could speak after a while: "I don't know, I'll go back and take a look." ”

…… Ji Chunmian went back this time, and the result was that he came back two days later and proposed to resign from the errand of helping the manager in Mingpeitang with Wei Changying.

According to the agreement she made when she took over, the days are actually over now.

And Wei Changying listened to what she revealed in her tone, and after resigning from this, she wanted to go back and stare at her daughter in person, and it was not easy to stop her. gave a generous thank you gift as a reward for Ji Chunmian's hard work in the past six months.

Ji Chunmian took care of it personally, and sure enough, Ji Yiren didn't find a chance to go out next, let alone find Zhu Lei.

It wasn't until Zhu Lei returned to the army that Ji Yi was allowed to go to Mingpeitang.

When she saw Wei Changying, she was very aggrieved, and said hatefully: "My mother and mother, none of them are good!" ”

Before the words fell, he was silenced by Ji Chunmian's cold glance.

Wei Changying was not angry, and said with a smile: "When you grow up, you will know whether we are good for you or bad for you." ”

The Jiyi did not dare to provoke their mother, so they turned their heads to the side in protest.

…… Shen Shuxie happened to be next to him at this scene, he didn't know the cause and effect, and he didn't know that Wei Changying didn't take it seriously, so he ran to his father to complain very angrily.

So in the evening, Shen Zangfeng asked his wife: "I heard that an Yiren talked back to you today?" ”

"Children have a little temper, how do you know such a thing?" Wei Changying asked curiously.

"Xie'er felt sorry for you, so she ran to tell me, and asked me to teach Yiren a good lesson for you." Shen Zangfeng also felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, "I casually asked him how to teach the method, but he tried to stuff the family method into my hand." ”

Wei Changying scolded with a smile: "He is really so attentive, he was also there at that time!" Why didn't I see him come out and give me a head? ”

"I also asked, he said, because he felt that he couldn't beat the Yiren - last time he was stuck in a tree with a kite, and he wanted to find someone to build a ladder to get it, but the Yiren passed by and saw it, and directly took off his shoes and climbed up a few times, picked up the kite and threw it down, and it was only a moment before and after. When he was done, he picked up the fan thrown on the flowers and went to Yan'er to play......" Shen Zangfeng laughed, "This kid is ......"

"Bully the soft and fear the hard!" Wei Changying smiled, "Ming'er, I'm going to give him a good lecture!" ”

But after getting up the next day, Wei Changying didn't care about reprimanding the second son - because it was not yet dawn, the couple was woken up.

Through the window, the voice of the subordinate who came to report the news trembled slightly: "The Rong people raided Xuanshui City, and now Xuanshui City has been broken!" ”

Shen Zangfeng sat up suddenly, and after just a few breaths, he finished dressing, and only said to Wei Changying, who got up in a hurry: "You continue to sleep, and calm the backyard after dawn." Then he hurried to the front.

He said so, but where can Wei Changying sleep?

Then he called the maid to change his clothes and freshen up, and asked someone to bring the map: "The name of Xuanshui City is familiar, where is it?" ”

The maids in front of her were literate, and they helped to find it, and soon found it - on the map, in the northwest direction of Xiliang, in the middle of the terrain representing the mountains, there was a small gate.

This is one of the cities of Xiliang Pass, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The reason why it is not as important as Diecui Pass in terms of strategy is because it is not like Diecui Pass, once it is broken, there is no place to rely on it. Xuanshui City was built in a narrow mountain stream, and behind it, there were three checkpoints: Chishui City, Baishui City, and Dushui City. Then there is the heart of the West Liang of Pingchuan.

And outside Xuanshui City, it was Qiudi's territory.

After Mushuer's subjugation, the Chodi split into two tribes, Ugumeng and Ayitahu, which Ugumun had defeated and annexed a few years earlier.

However, it was not completely annexed, and a small number of Ayitahu tribesmen, unwilling to join Ugumeng, escorted Ayitahu's grandson Zhelu to flee and did not know what to do.

And although Ugumeng barely unified Qiudi, he was also greatly injured. So the grassland that nominally belongs to him, he can't actually manage it.

This piece outside Xuanshui City is one of the places he can't control and temporarily loses.

But even though he was left here, he wasn't worried.

Because the outside of Xuanshui City is extremely flat, and the soil is not fertile, it is of little use except for grazing. There is no terrain to rely on, the Wei people have temporarily occupied it, not to mention that it is not very useful, once the Di people become strong, it is not difficult to snatch it back.

Sure enough, he lost this place, and Shen Zangfeng didn't mean to take the opportunity to take it down at all - the Shen family's eyes were on the Central Plains, a barren piece of land on the frontier, and the Shen family was not uncommon.

All in all, Xuanshui City should have been the place where Xiliang was least likely to be chosen as an attack point.

Because after breaking Xuanshui City, the following three cities will definitely increase their vigilance...... Without passing through these three cities, you can't enter the heart of Xiliang and touch the foundation of the Xiliang army.

In fact, the four cities of Xuanshui have never been beaten through, which shows the stability of this place.

But now not only is Xuanshui City broken, but even the Rong people are attacking!

Even the most ignorant of military strategy has a little unsightly face at the moment: if something goes wrong, it will be a demon, and the Rong people appear on the territory of the Di people and attack Xiliang...... Also chose the most difficult route to attack, what is this?

Wei Changying looked at the map, and suddenly thought of the nephew Shen Shuming who was missing: "Is it related to Shu Ming?" But Shu Ming was sent to Xiliang by his father earlier, and the place where he was stationed was not Xuanshui City! What military secrets does his kid know? ”

It's not that she underestimated Shen Shuming, it's just that Shen Shuming was a fool before the Shen family suffered a big change, and then he was an ignorant child. Generally speaking, such a person really falls into the hands of the Rong people, and I am afraid that he will not be punished for half a time, and he will be recruited.

It's just Shen Shuming...... Did he recruit any help?

What does he know about everything?

I'm afraid that Shen Shuguang, who is now cultivated as the next lord, knows more family secrets than him!

Could it be that the Rong people want to rely on Shen Shuming as a hostage to force Chishui and the other three cities to surrender themselves?

Wei Changying felt that although her husband loved Shen Shuming, Shen Zangfeng would never do this kind of thing for the sake of a person and bowing to a different race.

He has always been a qualified valve owner, and never puts personal preferences above the family!

However, she was confused, but Shen Zangfeng knew as soon as she heard it why the Rong people wanted to attack Xiliang from here.

In the front yard, after gathering everyone, he looked around and said slowly: "It seems that the reason why Shu Ming disappeared was because he fell into the hands of the Rong people - I remember that the guards of the three cities of Chishui, Baishui, and Dushui were all from the 'Jithorn Guard' under the command of the eldest brother back then!" ”

The hastily assembled crowd will be shocked!

"But when I was in the imperial capital, that colleague of Zhao Wuxin, who raised horses for the big house?!" Shen Yongkun asked subconsciously.

…… That is Shen Zangli's henchmen accumulated in Xiliang for several years, although they are loyal to the Shen family, they are even more loyal to Shen Zangli!

In a sense, they are to Shen Zangli what the Xiliang Army is to the Shen family. Nominally, the Western Liang Army was the army of the Great Wei, but it was the Shen family who really obeyed orders. If the orders of the Great Wei monarchs conflicted with those of the Shen family, they would have submitted to the latter; The same is true of the "Jijian Guard", they are nominally subordinates of the Shen family, but in fact, Shen Zangli's order is above everything else for them!

Just like after Zhao Wuxin's only son died, he was carried back to the Taifu Mansion by a war horse, Zhao Wuxin didn't even shed a single tear, but his first thought was to rush to the main house, in exchange for Shen Zangli's eldest daughter Shen Shujing to fight for a chance to break through!

is still so protective of Shen Zangli's daughter, let alone Shen Zangli's only son?!

Thinking that in order to let the guards of the four cities of Xuanshui be able to watch each other and not drag each other back, they deliberately selected four "Jijian Guards" who had a good relationship to garrison, but now, ......

Shen Youjia hurriedly said: "The last general asks for his life, and immediately leads the army to Dushui City to check the movement!" ”
