[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 550

…… Wei Changying, who had red eyes, held the candlestick in one hand and covered the fire with the other, and cautiously shone into the curtain, and saw the two children lying side by side, closing their eyes and closing their eyes, as if they had fallen asleep.

Although this bed was only used by the original owner to rest alone, Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie had not grown up, and the two children did not feel crowded when they slept here, and it was convenient for the servant to take care of them.

At this moment, the two little brothers didn't know how long they had been sleeping, and their faces were ruddy, which made Wei Changying feel relieved.

She put the candlestick outside the tent, made a silent gesture to Shen Zangfeng, leaned over, and carefully kissed her two sons on the foreheads one by one. In the end, I reluctantly got up.

Shen Zangfeng stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched the children's cheeks, and said in a low voice: "They are all asleep, let's go ahead and talk." ”

Wei Changying and Gu Rouzhang only arrived in Yuzhu Town at dusk, and then asked Shen Die, rushed over to treat Shen Shuxie and Shen Jishi, and then changed their clothes and bathed...... Then the husband and wife met and hugged each other and cried...... then ate a few bites of food indiscriminately, and had to take care of Shen Shuxie, who was unconscious, and comforted Shen Shuguang, who had been stimulated and his temperament had changed greatly, until the two children fell asleep at this moment, and the husband and wife could breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, both Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying felt tired.

But no one wants to go to sleep - after being separated for more than a year, suffering a big farewell, being able to get together, if you don't give a general idea of the situation after your parting, even if you are tired, how can you rest peacefully?

Because now that both of them are wearing filial piety, it is inconvenient to live in the same room, so they went to the flower hall in front of the discussion and asked the subordinate to make a pot of strong tea to refresh themselves.

“…… Father, what about them? After waving off the subordinates, according to Wei Changying, she couldn't wait to ask her second son Shen Shuxie how she could only breathe a breath, but when these words came to her mouth, she saw her husband's gray sideburns, she paused, and then changed her words and asked the elders first.

Although he had known the news several days ago, Shen Zangfeng's breathing was still heavy at the moment, and his eyes showed an unbearable pain, and he said in a low voice: "You know after the eldest brother asked for it." Father and uncle, fourth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, and Liu Er all suffered misfortune when they broke through. I sent troops to expel the Rong people outside the imperial capital, but I only found a few things that my father and uncle had with me, as for the rest of the ......"

This news was even more tragic than expected-the lord of the dignified Xiliang Shen clan, the Great Wei Xiang Ningbo, the son of the Shen clan...... They are all well-known nobles in the imperial capital, but now they are not only dead in the hands of the Rong people, but even have a missing corpse......

Wei Changying was stunned for a long time before he said, "I heard from the sixth brother that the second brother was wounded by an arrow. Na Xie'er...... Doesn't seem to be hurt? Nor is it like a wind chill? ”

“…… Xie'er almost died! Shen Zangfeng turned his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Father...... After being killed, the second and sixth brothers escorted him and Guang'er to flee to the west. It was easy to get rid of the pursuers that day, and when he dismounted to rest, the dead soldier who was responsible for protecting him untied him from his body and looked at him, but found that he was completely out of breath...... At that time, the second brother was seriously injured, and Guang'er was so frightened that she didn't seem to be able to speak...... The sixth brother is young, and he usually hasn't taken care of anything, and when he heard the dead man say that he was afraid that Xie'er would be cold when he tied it to his body, he put on an extra coat, so he thought that Xie'er was suffocated when he was chased and killed...... So he told the second brother directly, Xie'er is gone......"

Even though Fang had leaned over and kissed the second son's warm forehead, Wei Changying was still shocked when she heard her husband tell her story, pinched the tea cup in her hand that sketched pear blossoms, and asked in a low voice: "That...... Xie'er...... And then? ”

"The second brother was hit by an arrow, and he was only a little bit away...... At that time, there was too much blood, and the whole person was groggy, and after listening to the words of the sixth brother, he didn't have time to think about it, so he believed it and asked the sixth brother to bury Xie'er on the spot, and he forcibly made a mark. ”

Shen Zangfeng lowered his head, and he didn't know if he took this opportunity to blink the tears from his eyelashes, "At that time, they just temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the Rong people, and not long after Xie'er was buried, the spies who stayed behind took the injury to report, and the Rong people caught up again." The second brother could no longer ride a horse and refused to move again, so he insisted that the sixth brother and the rest of the dead soldiers who could ride horses escort Guang'er to the west. In the snowy night, they also did not die, but they ran into the spies I scattered! ”

After a pause, he continued in a hoarse voice, "After I received the news, I immediately sent troops to pick up the second brother, and fortunately I went one step earlier and killed a team of Rong people who had been behind them...... At this time, most of the dead soldiers around the second brother were gone, and even the second brother was dying, but when the accompanying military doctor treated his wounds, he found that he was hiding a tightly wrapped Xie'er in his arms. ”

"It wasn't until the third day after the second brother was taken to Yuzhu Town that he woke up and didn't know the reason......"

"At first, Xie'er was indeed suffocated, but she did not die as the sixth brother thought, but fell into suspended animation. It's just that the sixth brother is young, and he mistakenly thinks that Xie'er has unfortunately died, and the second brother is seriously injured and unable to investigate carefully, so he buried him. Fortunately, at that time, they were short of men and horses, and they had to guard against the Rong people from continuing to chase them, so they had no time or power to dig a deep pit in the ice and snow, and Xie'er was only covered with a shallow layer of soil. ”

And although the deceased soldier with Xie'er committed suicide and apologized, he was stopped, but he felt guilty, so he took off his robe and wrapped Xie'er into the ground. As a result, not long after the sixth brother left with Guang'er, Xie'er didn't know whether she was frozen, or if God had mercy on us, so she woke up under the soil and even cried......"

Shen Zangfeng said gloomily, "At that time, the second brother and the remaining dead soldiers after the break were all attentively listening to the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers, and they suddenly noticed it. A dead man with a broken arm went over and brushed away the dirt and took Xie'er out. But at that time, the sixth brother and the dead man who could ride a horse had already left. Although some of the remaining people had no leg problems, they were all not lightly injured and could not go away with Xie'er. So the second brother ordered Xie'er to be put in his arms, even if the Rong people didn't know the second brother, at least they could judge the second brother's extraordinary identity from the clothes, and they could also deduce that Xie'er was taken by the second brother, and he must be an ordinary child. The second brother thought that maybe they would not harm Xie'er for the time being because of this, even if they threatened us in the future, it would be a chance to survive. ”

Wei Changying raised her sleeves to hide her face, and was dazed for a long time before she said astringently: "God is pitiful!" ”

"It's just that Xie'er was suffocated in the end, and buried in the soil for a while, if it wasn't for the fact that she was buried and wrapped in three layers of robes to protect her heart, she would have a little heat......" Shen Zangfeng smiled bitterly and said, "So the cold has entered the heart, and the doctors in the army and the doctors who can be found here are helpless." When Ji went to the west and came out of the cool west, it was just in time for the heavy snow after the New Year, and it was difficult to travel. I thought this kid was ...... After all, it has nothing to do with us...... But he didn't want to, he didn't waste his second brother's blood to protect him, and he actually survived until you came...... Thank goodness you brought the pills that Aunt Huang gave you. Not only Xie'er, but the second brother will not have this medicine, I am afraid that it will ......."

After a pause, he sighed lightly, "By the way, that Zhu Lei, when he broke through this time, if he hadn't blocked three arrows for Guang'er, relying on the second brother to block the arrows for Guang'er alone, he might not be able to keep Guang'er safe!" Although the three arrows in him are not critical, he has also lost too much blood in the end, and he is still recuperating on the couch. It's just that I can't get free these days, so I only went to thank him once. You free your hand and ask him what he has in mind......"

"I made a note of it." Wei Changying wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "If you want to repay your kindness, this time I also took the risk of breaking through because my sister Gu invited them to the door, and my mother also spoke." Otherwise......"

Speaking of this, she suddenly shook her whole body, and after saying goodbye, she looked at her husband fixedly, and said word for word, "The east gate is a trap!" ”

"I know." Shen Zangfeng nodded calmly, a flash of water flashed in his eyes, and said softly, "Our grandfather, second uncle, and third cousin are gone." ”

Although she had heard it once from Shenbo, Wei Changying still felt as cold as a knife, and she said in a trembling voice: "Fang Cai Rouzhang was originally visiting Xie'er, but it seems that he was sent by the enemy to call him away halfway...... Could it be said? ”

Shen Zangfeng was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "Those who retreated from the east gate, ten ...... Don't save one! ”

"What?!" Wei Changying was stunned!

"The emperor was also destroyed in it." Shen Zangfeng's face showed extreme fatigue for a moment, he closed his eyes slightly, his eyebrows were furrowed, and said, "The clan has suffered heavy casualties, and among the kings, except for King Run, there is still no news about the rest of the people. Duanmu's Duanmu family was killed by an arrow witnessed by someone, Duanmu Haomiao was seriously injured, and now he is still lying in the courtyard next door, if Doctor Ji can't arrive as soon as possible...... I'm afraid it's not very good. After the Liu family went out of the east gate, they were blocked, that is, they went north, and it is difficult to say how the loss will be now. But I don't think it's necessarily less ...... than others."

Wei Changying took a deep breath and said, "Then ...... cousin Song?" ”

Ruiyutang has declined over the years, but this time it has escaped this catastrophe. Wei Shengyi's branch, Wei Changying can't say that he is angry with them, but the degree of concern at the moment is really not as good as his cousin. As for the Zhihondo, it is even more so.

"Cousin Song...... I don't know. Shen Zangfeng shook his head and muttered, "However, the spies recently heard a piece of news from the city, but it was aimed at Fengzhou Wei. ”

Wei Changying was stunned: "For Fengzhou Wei? ”

"You told me the inside story of the great victory in Fengzhou before, and mentioned that your grandfather and Changfeng confirmed that Mo Binwei was the real hero of that great victory, and it was found out by a piece of Rongren amulet that Mo Binwei entrusted people to pass on to Changfeng, isn't it?" Shen Zangfeng rubbed his temples on both sides and asked softly.

The reason why he spoke softly was that it was late at night, and that he was really tired.

Wei Changying hurriedly moved his seat, came to his side, and raised his hand to gently rub it for him.

Shen Zangfeng put down his free hand, and simply closed his eyes to speak to recover his energy.

"Is there such a thing...... At that time, Changfeng also told me that the talisman was not something that ordinary Rong people could have, and I was afraid that it was a noble thing among the Rong people. Wei Changying whispered, she vaguely guessed something, "Could it be that the Rong people who attacked the imperial capital this time?" ”

"The third prince of the Rong people, the Lu Zhen Qi Dan, is the uncle of the Rong people. After the Rong people entered the city, this person was determined to take revenge on the Wei clan of Fengzhou. Shen Zangfeng said tiredly, "According to some people who escaped from the city by luck in the past two days and were picked up by spies, he found the Wei Mansion at first. But the Wei Mansion was already empty, and the second uncle Wei and his cousins retreated with the crowd, and before leaving, the two cousins killed their wives with their own hands...... Shelu Zhen Qidan was furious in disappointment, and wanted to take out his anger on the servants of the Wei Mansion. As a result, there was a servant woman who was afraid, and he learned that his purpose was to seek revenge on the Fengzhou Wei clan, so he recommended Zhibentang to him......"

Wei Chang won his hand...... The Wei family will know the main hall and the Ruiyu hall in private, but from the outside, or to outsiders, there is only one family surnamed Wei in this world, and that is Fengzhou Wei!

No matter how much this sect is divided, you can't write two words in one stroke!

Ordinary scholars still think that the Zhibentang respects and respects the Ruiyu Hall of the Sect, and the Ruiyu Hall loves the Zhibentang of the Sect, not to mention the barbarians?

I don't know if the servant woman was really afraid of the cruelty of the Rong people and took these subordinates to vent, or was it a loyal servant of Ruiyutang who deliberately caused trouble?

Wei Changying walked for a moment before continuing to rub her husband's shoulders and asked softly, "Then, Zhibentang?" ”
