Chapter Ninety-Four: A Turning Point
Lu Shengping's words were brought to the imperial capital, Huo Zhaoyu and the others were so angry that they died, but after discussing it, they didn't dare to fight for their lives - if they dared to fight this one themselves, they couldn't be intimidated by a fu person, right?
The problem is that Wei Changying mentioned Yunxia Huo straightforwardly, obviously daring to disobey her, and in her anger, she will desperately attack the entire Huo family. Even if Shen Zangfeng died, the Shen family would definitely be much worse than before, and it was not impossible to say that it was falling apart. But to remove the Yunxia Huo clan from the world's famous families, it is really not impossible to do it if there is a reason!
For this reason, Huo Zhaoyu could only suppress his anger, promised Lu Shengping, and immediately sent someone to recover Shen Zangfeng, and at the same time expressed his willingness to hand over the person who had this bad idea before, one of his clan brothers named Huo Hao.
Just for the reputation of the Huo family, of course, it can't be said that he fought bloodily as the front-line coach, and when he blocked the Rong people against the epidemic, he took the coach's family and threatened the coach to die...... So I deducted a reason indiscriminately, and begged not to die so undignified with a thousand cuts......
Lu Shengping asked Wei Changying, but Wei Changying refused, and sneered in front of the envoy sent by Lu Shengping to Chicheng: "I don't want to admit it when I do shameless things!" How can there be such a good thing in this world! Tell Lu Shengping, as I said before, this Huo Hao has to be cut with a thousand knives, that is, a thousand knives, and not a single knife is missing! β
Huo Zhaoyu was forced to be helpless, so he thought about it and went to ask Gu Xinian, and rushed to Chicheng to ask for Wei Changying to intercede.
It's just that Wei Changying didn't bother to see Gu Xinian as Huo Zhaoyu's accomplice, so he only asked the Huang family to go out to send Gu Xinian: "The queen of my family will keep in mind your kindness for rescue back then!" But now that it involves the rise and fall of my Shen family, the queen does not dare to abolish the princess because of Si. Please go back to Second Master Gu, otherwise, our queen will have to return her life to you! β
When it came to this, Gu Xinian had nothing to answer, so he didn't dare to say it repeatedly, leaving the salute and leaving.
In this way, Huo Zhaoyu was forced to the extreme, and he really thought of a way to come out - he first announced the disappearance of his brother Huo Hao, and sent people to search for him with great fanfare. Then, a few days later, in a remote place, I naturally found the clan brother who was tied up by the "thief" and cut by a thousand knives!
"This Huo Zhaoyu is really resourceful!" The Huang family personally held a bowl of steaming sheep to Wei Changying, and said with a sneer, "This not only meets the queen's request, but also preserves the dignity of his Huo family, and he has also come up with it!" β
Lian Ju said on the side: "It can be seen that he is still afraid of the queen, the queen said a thousand cuts, he dare not disobey!" β
"Don't he dare to disobey?" Wei Changying sneered and said, "I think he is smart!" β
Lian Ju was surprised: "Why did the queen say that? "I just thought about it, although Huo Zhaoyu's hand perfunctory Wei Changying, it made Wei Changying annoyed because of it? However, Huo Hao is a child of the scholar clan in the end, and even if the Huo family is not as good as the Shen family, he always has to be face-saving. Huo Zhaoyu let this step go to this point, and he was already very humiliated.
Even if Shen Zangfeng was here, he would probably be counted as having passed on this request.
Wei Changying glanced at her and said, "I'm talking about cutting off the people who used our mother and son to coerce their husbands before, this Huo Hao is just a scapegoat pushed out by Huo Zhaoyu!" He was chopped into mashed meat, and he was not the same person before, no matter how painful and undignified his death was, it was just perfunctory! β
Lian Ju sighed: "It's not him?" Who's that?! How can you give that person the guilt? β
"What a fool, who can call Huo Hao to be punished with a thousand knives, it's not Huo Zhaoyu, who else can it be?" Huang sighed, but said to Wei Changying, "But before General Lu only said that someone in the imperial capital did this, but he didn't say who it was...... Now the owner doesn't know what to do, so you might as well pretend to be confused. Huo Zhaoyu has already taken the clan brother out and softened with you. The forbidden army under his command is not very good, but now he is in cahoots with Wen Yanzi...... If General Lu hadn't been able to suppress him, how could he have deliberately hidden him when he told you? β
"I know that, too." Wei Changying stroked Xiong with his hand, slowly exhaled, his eyes flashed coldly, and said, "It's just that Fujun has now entered the Hanhai Gobi, I don't know if Lu Shengping's people can catch up with him...... Huo Zhaoyu gave me this soft at this time, which is not a good thing! In fact, whether it is him or me, the so-called use of the epidemic to dominate the other party is just talking at this time! To put it simply, we can't afford to do it. Even if it's really out of the way, how many people can be passed on to this cold day? β
Huang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his face became solemn: "You mean...... Will they ......? β
"Stabilize me first, then kill us!" Wei Changying sneered and said, "Otherwise, why would I call Lu Shengping and all the soldiers who closed the road earlier to Wanzhou, but let him let dozens of horses go to the north and south?" to the north is to find the place where the plague is buried; To the south is to report to Fengzhou......"
Speaking of this, her face darkened, and she said, "But those who go to Fengzhou, I only tell them to report safety." Over the years, I have relied on my mother's family enough, and I really don't dare to worry about my grandfather and grandmother anymore. Fortunately, now my father is in charge of Changfeng, and my grandfather and grandmother have not taken the initiative to ask about things in order to experience, so I think I can hide it. β
Huang hurriedly reminded: "Then you must hide it from Madame!" Although the lady is still in the prime of life, her mind is relatively simple, and she may not be able to hide it in front of the old lady! β
Mrs. Song is actually of a medium level among the famous nobles, and in general, she is up to the requirements of a qualified nobleman. Helplessly, Mrs. Song is shrewd and careful, far better than ordinary people, Mrs. Song has always had nothing to hide in front of her mother-in-law - unless Mrs. Song is willing to pretend to be confused.
It's Wei Changfeng's wife, Min, although her background is not high, but her mood is not in se, which is very reliable.
"The letter will not be sent directly to Ruiyu Hall, it will be handed over to Zhu Shi." Zhu Shi followed Ji to Fengzhou to treat Wei Zhenghong that year, because he had a meritorious service to serve Shi Ji to get sick on the road, and when the age came, Wei Changying wrote to her to stay in Fengzhou to match people.
As the niece of the He family, and the person who served Wei Changying, Mrs. Song personally pointed her out to a young and handsome steward in the outer courtyard, and her husband was also happy. They were rewarded as stewards of a pawnshop a few years ago, and they don't live in the Ruiyu Hall anymore, but because of their former feelings and the relationship between the family and the children, they can often enter the Ruiyu Hall to report things.
Let Zhu Shi hand it over, she will not peek and do tricks, and she can hide it from the eyes of the people in Ruiyu Hall.
The Huang family breathed a sigh of relief: "The fifth young lady in the family is very stable, and I don't think I will let the old lord and the old lady in the family worry about it." "Wei Huan and Mrs. Song are really old, and they have let go of the worries in this life, and now in addition to teasing their grandson, they are just waiting for the day.
In this case, it is not certain when it will be ...... So until the Wei family's life and death are at a critical juncture, no one dares to bother them with things.
Now although the Shen family is facing a crisis, it is the Shen family after all-for the Shen family, asking Wei Huan and Mrs. Song to work hard for the Shen family, which is not only unreasonable, but also sweeps away the face of the Shen family.
Therefore, for Wei Changying to send someone to Ruiyu Hall to report safety, and ask his father, younger brother, and brother-in-law to help, and hide the truth from his grandfather, grandmother and mother, the Huang family is very much in favor - Wei Changying does not send someone to get to the bottom of it, in case Huo Zhaoyu and these people take advantage of any loopholes, and ask Wei Huan and Mrs. Song to have something happen, it is too late to cry!
"Then are we going to retreat to Xiliang now?" Huang thought for a moment and asked.
Wei Changying looked out the window lonely, and said, "Wait a few more days, wait for the news of your husband." If we really can't catch up with him, we'll ...... We'll talk about that then. She hesitated, and in this hesitation, there was another murderous intent!
Soon after the Lantern Festival, there was still no trace of Shen Zangfeng and his party.
It seems to have completely disappeared into the Hanhai Gobi.
Wen Lingzi really couldn't hold back, and used the excuse that the Rong people had approached Yanzhou - although they were intimidated by the death of the Wei army before, even with the blessing of their great sacrifice, the amulet and the like, and led the horse that Ji Qubing thought could avoid the epidemic, they still didn't dare to enter Yanzhou City.
But there are not many ways to hit Yanzhou City to detour south...... The most terrible thing is actually that spring is about to start at this time, who knows if the Rong people will come to sweep the epidemic again?
With these reasons, all parties tacitly agreed that the Yong army would cross Gyeonggi and go north to meet the enemy. It is necessary to take advantage of the cold weather when fleas and other things cannot come out, and hit the Rong people as hard as possible.
Under the intimidation of the epidemic, whether it was the Li people who had not eaten for many years, or the scholars who swept the snow in front of their doors, they all broke out with great enthusiasm and unity.
Wei Changying, who was in Chicheng, listened to the news from the imperial capital, and it was all about how the Shishu worked together to help the Yongjun...... I only felt a blank space in my heart.
She didn't have the heart to think about any plans in the world at this time, as long as Shen Zangfeng was safe, those remnants of the army were all dead, even if the Xiliang Shen clan was gone, she would admit it.
But Shen Zangfeng has never heard from him, the snowy Hanhai Gobi, and the grassland whistling in the white-haired wind, never know how many people and livestock have been devoured.
If you think about it on the bad side, Shen Zangfeng is gone, then she, Shen Shuguang, Shen Shuxie, and even don't know where the place of worship is.
With the Yongjun all the way north, there was no news with Shen Zangfeng one after another, and Wei Changying was no longer able to hide the yin haze in his heart in front of the juniors.
Even the most innocent and naughty Shen Shuxie didn't dare to make trouble with her, and every time she asked for peace, she was careful not to mention her father...... Si Xiali, the Huang family has already instructed that no one is allowed to say words like "Shen Zangfeng, the north, and the epidemic" in front of Wei Changying.
So as not to add pressure to Wei Changying, who has long been exhausted inside, but who is in charge of the overall situation.
"Some people say that people have to endure hardships more or less in this life, I always thought that this was wrong, I have never suffered since I was a child." One day, Wei Changying thought of "When I was in my mother's house, the elders loved me like a treasure; After leaving the cabinet, my in-laws, aunts and uncles are not difficult to get along with, and my husband treats me like a pearl...... Even if there is a little gap between the concubines, it is a trivial matter. For I am the first to enjoy and the last to be sorrowful? β
She thought of her sister-in-law Shen Zangzhu, the young and widowed Shen Zangzhu, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, elegant demeanor, and a general bearing. But if you look at her eyes carefully, they are like stagnant water, even if they look at Shen Shuxi, they will be faint and cold after all.
I thought of the Queen Mother Cai who Duanmu Xinmiao wanted to keep, and the Queen Mother was probably because she had a son, and she often had a smile on her face...... At least in front of people, but her sideburns, which were pale before thirty, and despair deep in her pupils......
"Am I going to follow in their footsteps?" Wei Chang Ying thought in amazement.
She didn't know if she had the courage or the ability to hold on to the next situation and protect the children of the two after Shen Zangfeng left.
"I used to look forward to having a daughter, but after my husband left last year, I found that I was not pregnant, and I was very sorry. Now that I think about it, it's actually a good thing. Guang'er and Xie'er, I'm not sure to protect them, let alone add another one? β
Thinking like this, tears fell unconsciously.
She thought she knew how important her husband was to her, but now when she was about to accept this fact, she realized that Shen Zangfeng was far more important than she thought.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Wei Changying slowly wiped away her tears and said to Lian Ju: "You go and invite General Lu to come." "In her life, before leaving the cabinet, her mind was on practicing martial arts and having fun, and after leaving the cabinet, she was on the back house and her children. Even her husband didn't put much thought into it because of the lack of gathering and leaving and the loyalty of her husband.
For the world's major events, for the struggle for power and profit in the front yard, it is never an exaggeration to say that it is a layman.
If she was alone, she wouldn't be too lazy to think about it, either she would come up sadly and go with Shen Zangfeng, or go back to Ruiyu Hall and learn from Shen Zangzhu for a lonely life.
But for the sake of Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie, she must stand up.
"Who doesn't start learning? Is it true that someone is born with the ability to do anything? My grandmother always said that I was very intelligent, and I should start learning now, and it may not be too late. She thought of giving herself some courageβbut not far from the yard, she ran in with her skirt like crazy, and cried out in tears, "There is news of the lord!" β
"Bang!"
Wei Changying got up suddenly! The small table in front of me and the bits and pieces on the small table all fell down!
"Yes...... What's the news?! βοΌγ
