[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 504

It's just that Wei Changying's desire to bully his younger brother again after a few years of separation was stranded - six days later, Huoxian County, the only way from Fengzhou to the imperial capital, was captured by the homeless, the treasury was ransacked, and the county ordered the following officials to be killed by the homeless!

When the news reached the court, the officials were furious!

Taibao Su Pingzhan was very happy at first, after all, this was a reasonable opportunity to increase and advance troops.

But he was not happy for two days, counting that the official document of the imperial court ordering the Qingzhou army to rush to the aid of Huo County was still on the way, and the news that Qingzhou was eight hundred miles in an emergency, and because of the obstruction of Huo County, Su Pingzhan almost wanted to vomit blood - Siam attacked!

…… More than ten years ago, in order to be knighted, a younger brother of Su Pingzhan fabricated reasons to fight all the way to the left of the capital of Siam, and built dozens of Beijing temples along the way, killing Siam's vitality. At that time, the Su family plundered countless times, and according to common sense, Siam's national strength had not recovered at this time, and it did not have the ability to invade the Great Wei.

Of course, this is not available, according to the Great Wei more than ten years ago.

Now this small country in southern Xinjiang is obviously looking at the internal and external troubles of the Great Wei, and has taken advantage of the fire to rob it.

And I don't know if I heard that the north of the Great Wei is facing the pressure of the Beirong army, and Siam is actually pressing the whole country this time. The Su family was caught off guard, not only did they kill and injure many of the children of the clan, but they even lost a few cities, and even the neighboring prefectures of Qingzhou and the first important town in southern Xinjiang were besieged!

In this case, even if the Taishi racked his brains, Su Pingzhan did not hesitate to send his henchmen and guards, and rode his own mount overnight to recover the previous official document that asked the Qingzhou army to exterminate the rebels in Huoxian County, and immediately returned to Qingzhou!

As soon as the Qingzhou army left, Wei Changfeng and his entourage, who came to the imperial capital to greet their relatives, were extremely embarrassed to be blocked behind Huocheng.

This is not only because the private soldiers of the Wei family have been in peace for a long time, even if they are diligent in training, they will inevitably be in a hurry when they go into battle for the first time, but also because Wei Changfeng entered Beijing to pick up his relatives, even if he knew that the road was not very peaceful, he brought a lot of private soldiers with armor...... But, who would have thought that a kiss would have to attack the city???

It has always been necessary for the siege side to succeed in outnumbering the defenders.

But now whose private soldiers can compare with the number of homeless people?

Moreover, the lives of the homeless people are as cheap as grass, and the private soldiers carefully raised by the Wei family are very precious compared to them - as long as Wei Changfeng is not dizzy, he will never let the private soldiers attack Huocheng without any siege equipment.

If you don't go from here, the detour will be nearly a thousand miles away.

Nearly a thousand miles away is still a trivial matter, the key is that Huoxian can be occupied by displaced people, if you take a detour, who knows if you will encounter similar things again? After all, now the people are changing everywhere, and the displaced people are surging.

If you don't go that far, there is a path in the middle. But the small roads and horses are not passable, and even people have to be cautious and cross several dangerous places to pass. This kind of place can only send a few servants to send a letter to try, even if it succeeds, there are still hundreds of miles of road to the imperial capital after Huoxian, and this road may not be much more peaceful than Huoxian.

In this case, no one dared to ask Wei Changfeng to take this path......

Therefore, Wei Changfeng could only stop outside Huoxian very awkwardly, in a dilemma.

When the news reached the imperial capital, the sideburns of Taishi and the others turned much whiter, and after discussion, because Shen Xuan refused to let the remaining 20,000 Xiliang troops recover Huoxian on the grounds that the vicinity of Gyeonggi was not peaceful and needed the Xiliang Army to assist the Yulin Army to defend Gyeonggi. Therefore, the princess had no choice but to send someone to explain to Su Xiuqin and Princess Lingxian - because their daughter was old and the marriage date was set again, they were wholeheartedly looking forward to their son-in-law coming to the imperial capital.

But now that the Shen family is not out of the army, the Imperial Forest Army has no hope at all - the Rong people are going to invade the Holy Lord and refuse to ask the Royal Forest Army to send out a single soldier, not to mention whether the wedding of the granddaughter can be held as scheduled?

Therefore, the princess and his wife were full of chagrin, but they had no choice but to send someone to take the path to send a letter to Wei Changfeng, ordering him to return to Fengzhou first. Wait until this passage in Huoxian is opened before going to Beijing...... The marriage date of the two sides has been set, Su Nianchu will already be regarded as a member of the Wei family, in case Wei Changfeng waits at the bottom of Huo County, then many homeless people, what three long and two short does this son-in-law have, wouldn't Su Nianchu's life be over?

In the middle of this, Princess Lingxian held the hope of what happened, and invited Wei Changying to come over the mansion to talk, mentioning that the Shen family still had 20,000 Xiliang troops in Gyeonggi. But Wei Changying has no choice, according to her selfishness, of course, she also hopes that her brother can get married as soon as possible and spread out. However, although Xiliangjun is from the Shen family, it is not her turn to be a backhouse woman.

Besides, about not sending the Xiliang army to Huoxian to quell the turmoil, Mrs. Su also told her, if it is not peaceful today, leaving an army in Gyeonggi, the family is determined. Moreover, the siege of the city is not as good as defeating the enemy, because of the tight terrain of Huoxian, even if the city wall is not as high and thick as Yanzhou, and the trench is not as deep and wide as Yanzhou, but it is not so easy to fight.

Xiliang Army is gone, what if it is trapped?

Speaking of this, Wei Changying can only say yes no matter how regretful she is.

So this reunion of sisters and brothers at the head of the boom was swept away before it started.

In this case, the most embarrassing, helpless and aggrieved is of course Su Nianchu. She is also nineteen years old, but the wedding date was disturbed by the current situation, so she could only continue to live in her mother's house, which was really embarrassing.

Although this can't all be said to be the fault of the Wei family, Wei Changying still gave her a special opinion, and gave her a pair of gold-inlaid jade mandarin duck bracelets at the bottom of the box when she got married, saying that it was a family heirloom of the Wei family: "Listen to my grandmother, this is my great-grandmother who got a piece of good jade at that time and asked a craftsman to make it." Since then, it has been passed down from generation to generation in the Wei family, and when I left the cabinet, my grandmother took pity on me for marrying far away and made an exception to put them in the dowry. Originally, I wanted to return to the Wei family as a congratulatory gift after you passed the door. But now that the long wind is blocked by the homeless people, and it can't come for a while, you can take it first, just think about it. ”

Originally, Su Nian first saw that the jade quality of this pair of bracelets was as clear as the moonlight, and the craftsmanship was exquisite, and it was extraordinary. But now that I heard that it was the heirloom of the Wei family, I hesitated.

Wei Changying persuaded her, half forced and half coaxed her to accept it, and comforted her with kind words, and then left.

After she left, Princess Lingxian came to see her daughter, saw the pair of bracelets, and heard that they were heirlooms from the Wei family, but because Mrs. Song doted on her granddaughter, she let her take them out - but although Wei Changying couldn't bear to blow the elders' hearts, she didn't want to take advantage of her mother's family, so she used Su Nianchu to pass through the door and return the things - the princess was very happy, and put the bracelet on for her daughter with her own hands, looked at the Hao wrist that was the same color as the jade, and said: "You don't have to take it down, just wear it like this." ”

Su Nianchu was a little reluctant: "Sister, she said it was an heirloom of the Wei family." ”

"So what does it matter? You're not a careless person. Seeing her daughter rubbing the bracelet face, Princess Lingxian was obviously quite moved, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Although this thing is good, our family is not without it." It's just because it's the Wei family's heirloom bracelet and it was sent by Mrs. Wei herself, so it's worth paying special attention to. But Mrs. Wei said that your husband couldn't come to the imperial capital for a while, she sent this pair of bracelets over in advance to give you a thought, if you don't wear it, hide it in the box, what kind of thought? ”

Su Nianchu thought about it......

And Wei Changying returned to the Taifu Mansion, and before he sat down to drink tea, he heard another bad news - Shen Shuguang was almost bitten by a mastiff!

The huge mansion of Taifu Mansion, although the guards are like forests, many times the manpower is not as good as the animal power, so in order to be optimistic about the door, the outer courtyard also has more than a dozen heterogeneous mastiffs, all of which are fierce and ferocious. I have never seen this kind of mastiff Wei Changying, but I have also heard that when each head lands on all fours, it is taller than Shen Shuguang.

The mastiff who went to the guard yard was originally trying to be fierce, and with the power of the Shen family, he didn't have to think about the fate of biting someone. Therefore, it is not a strange thing for children, even adults, to be bitten to death by this dog.

When Wei Changying heard the news, he was frightened! The whole person is not good!

The servant who came to report the news hurriedly said that someone happened to pass by to save Shen Shuguang, and the second grandson is now very good - even after saying it several times, Wei Changying came back to his senses and ran to the upper room like crazy!

When I arrived at the upper room, I didn't have to tell anyone to break in all the way, and I saw a lot of people in the hall, and there were several figures kneeling in the hall. But Wei Changying didn't bother to pay attention to it now, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw Shen Shuguang being held in his grandmother's arms with tears on his face, and the horror in his expression had not yet faded.

Sensing that his mother was coming, Shen Shuguang's somewhat dull gaze turned a little, and he cried loudly, broke away from his grandmother's arms, threw himself into his mother's arms, and pulled her skirt tightly with his little hands, crying so much that his voice changed.

Wei Changying was distressed and annoyed, first grabbed him, and then hastily gave Mrs. Su a salute, and touched his son's whole body without any scars, so he let go of the snack. Looking at her son lying in his arms and being overly frightened, his eyes that were active and agile before were full of panic at the moment, and he was a little sluggish, and he didn't answer anything, but just hugged his hand more and more hard - the anger in her heart was difficult to suppress, she hugged Shen Shuguang hard, raised her eyes and asked, "Mother, what's going on?" Aren't mastiffs always only in the outer yard? How could I almost bite Hikara? Could it be that Guang'er ran away to the outer courtyard? ”

When she went out, she originally put Shen Shuguang in Jintong Courtyard, so that people were not allowed to leave the courtyard. But Mrs. Su thinks that there is a small pool in Jintong Courtyard, although it is not deep, and the people will definitely keep an eye on it, it is not safe enough. It was because he insisted that when Wei Changying went out, he sent Shen Shuguang to himself. Although Shen Shuguang is naughty, because of his young age, his heart is still naïve, and he is mainly coquettish in everything, and he has not been infected with the habit of commanding and persecuting his subordinates. The subordinates in front of him are not crazy, and will take him to the outer court.

How could it happen that you were almost bitten by a mastiff?

Because she was worried about her son, Wei Changying was emotional at the moment, with obvious questioning in her tone.

It's just that at this moment, she didn't have the heart to take care of Mrs. Su's mood.

However, Mrs. Su also understood her feelings now, and did not scold her questioning, but sighed and said, "Heng'er, this evil obstacle! It's a shame that Zhu Lei is passing by, otherwise he ......" Speaking of this, she glanced coldly at the hall.

Following her mother-in-law's line of sight, Wei Changying found that among the people kneeling in the hall, the first person was the biological mother of her youngest brother-in-law, Shen Yongheng, Miao, and the next one kneeling was Shen Yongheng, and the mother and son were trembling and cautiously peeking at themselves.
