Chapter 50: Love
General's Palace.
After Qingzhou came back, he first went to the yard of his grandmother and mother-in-law to ask for peace, and the two of them did not embarrass her, please be safe, Qingzhou went back to his house, forsythia inquired about the news from the outside, only that Wan Zi'an was obsessed with bowing (polo) these days, and for a while he was playing with some sons of the family and the children of the eunuchs, and he was playing on horseback for a few hours.
The Ning family was only worried that the bow was too dangerous, for fear that the only son would have a good one, but Wan Mu was in favor, only saying that the grandson was not in good health, and the bow could strengthen his body, which was better than him going to those hooks and draw boats, not to mention Wan Zi'an's noble status, who in this capital didn't know that he was the nephew of General Zhenyuan's relatives, and who had the courage to dare to hurt him?
When Ning saw Wan Mu say this, she closed her mouth, only her heart kept mentioning that she had to send several small servants to follow Wan Zi'an every day, for fear that he would hurt when he bowed, she was so careful that Wan Mu only shook her head when she looked at it.
Qingzhou listened, her eyes were still quiet, she knew that Wan Zi'an did not marry the lord of Yunyin, she would definitely take this anger out on herself, when she returned home, she was ready to be humiliated by Wan Zi'an, or blamed by her grandmother, but she never thought that they had never embarrassed her, even Wan Zi'an went out early and returned late every day, and occasionally met, but she regarded Qingzhou as nothing as before, which made Qingzhou breathe a long sigh of relief.
In the following days, Qingzhou has been living in a simple place, in addition to going to the elders' yard every day to ask for peace, is to stay in his own house, as the days pass day by day, it is getting closer and closer to the day of the expedition from Wanzhong Mountain.
Chen's house.
"Everything is arranged?" After the henchman grandmother entered the house, Jiang raised his eyelids and whispered to the grandmother.
"Madame rest assured, everything has been prepared, and the old slave also inquired about the news from the general's mansion, saying that Mrs. Wen is going to Xiyan Temple tomorrow to offer incense, and the second lady will also go, and the old slave has already let people ambush on the way according to Madame's instructions, just waiting to serve the second miss." The grandmother's voice was low and cold, and the last sentence was even more revealing of an unknown cold atmosphere.
Jiang pursed the corners of his lips, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes, and he continued to command the grandmother; "Remember to tell those people that I don't want Chen Qingzhou's life."
"What does the lady want?"
Jiang's eyes were cold, and he opened his mouth word by word; "She and Wan Zi'an have never had a round house, and she is still a virgin, so letting those people ruin her innocence is not more painful than killing her?"
"Madame, don't worry, the old slave understands." The grandmother was respectful, and as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice; "Madame forgive the old slave for talking too much, although the second miss is a cheap breed born of a cheap maid, but after all, she married into Wanfu, and there are this layer of in-laws, and there is no harm to the master's career, if this time really ruined the second miss"
"You know what?" Jiang Shi reprimanded and said; "My son is as light as she is about to be drafted into the palace, and she will be the emperor's concubine in the future, and Chen Qingzhou is just married to the general's mansion, just a million mountains, how can she compare with the emperor?"
"That's what Madame said." Mama lowered her head.
"Just do as I say, let those people be careful, and don't reveal their identities." Jiang Shi lowered his voice.
"Yes, ma'am."
When Mama retreated, there was a sneer on the corner of Jiang's lips, and when she looked in the mirror, she lightly opened her lips and slowly spit out three words; "Chen Qingzhou"
The child born of a cheap maid is a cheap maid after all, how can a mere concubine be worthy of such a scenery?
Thinking of the powerful General's Mansion, remembering the salute that Wanzhong Mountain gave to the Su family, and thinking of Chen Jinzhong's importance to the Su family mother and daughter these days, Jiang clenched the comb in his hand, and finally threw the comb on the ground with a "snap".
Early in the morning, the carriage of the General's Mansion slowly moved towards the mountain.
Wen Minyi and Qingzhou sat in the car together, Wen Minyi looked at Qingzhou's white cheeks, and smiled; "My aunt asked you to accompany me to Xiyan Temple early in the morning to offer incense, did it disturb your rest?"
Qingzhou shook his head, "Auntie is serious, Qingzhou has always been used to getting up early. ”
Wen Minyi nodded and continued; "Your uncle is about to go to war, I really can't rest assured, I always want to go and give the Bodhisattva a stick of incense."
Qingzhou let out a soft "um", remembering that when he was in Yanzhou that day, Wan Chongshan was seriously injured, and the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, no wonder Wen Minyi couldn't rest assured.
Qingzhou remembered that day, Wan Zi'an said those unbearable words in front of Wen Minyi, but she couldn't raise her head, she half-covered her eyes, she didn't know how to face her aunt, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to stay quietly aside, and walked towards Xiyan Temple with Wen Minyi.
When he reached the mountainside, he heard a sudden commotion outside, followed by the sound of the commander of the guards drawing his sword, shouting to the surroundings: "There are bandits, go and protect the two ladies quickly!" ”
Wen Minyi and Qingzhou were shocked when they heard the movement, and they couldn't think of who had the courage to attack the ladies of the General's Mansion.
"Bold thief, do you know who the person in the car is?" The commander roared angrily, raised the machete in his hand, and hacked and injured two people in an instant, this time Wen Minyi went up the mountain to enter the incense, and did not want to show off, because he did not bring too many attendants, and those bandits obviously came prepared, rushed out of the dense forest, and entangled all the attendants, the commander was anxious, and heard an exclamation from the carriage, it was Wen's voice, he was just about to turn around to save him, he saw several bandits surrounded him, he raised his knife to block the sword moves that fell on his body, and raised his eyes to look, I saw that several thieves took a woman from the car, and they put her body on the back of the horse, and the group walked away in an instant.
"Young lady?" The commander was so shocked that he recognized that the captive was the light boat.
Barrack.
Two days later, it was the day of the expedition, and the things in the general of Wanzhongshan were deployed one by one, and the main tent was full of high-ranking generals in the Wanjia army, and he saw the herald rushing in, first kneeling on the ground and saluting, and then saying; "General Qiyu, something happened to Madame and Young Madame."
"What's wrong?" Wan Chongshan's eyebrows tightened, and he suddenly stood up.
"According to Commander Fang, Madame went to Xiyan Temple with the young lady early in the morning to pray for the general, but unexpectedly met bandits on the road, and those bandits took the young lady away."
Wan Chongshan's heart changed, he didn't say a word, just threw the official document in his hand on the table with a "snap", and strode outside.
"General?" The people in the main account were stunned when they saw this, these generals are all old men who have followed Wanzhong Mountain for many years, and they all understand the character of Wanzhong Mountain, knowing that he has always been Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change color, but now he will lose his temper for a woman, leaving behind the military under discussion, which can be described as unique.
"General, General Tang is also in the army, the general can send General Tang to look for someone, and ask the general" Jiang Zhen chased out the main account, and saw that Wanzhongshan was already on the horse, and he hurried forward, wanting to persuade Wanzhongshan to retract his mind.
"Sir knows my mind, so why bother to say more." Wan Chongshan put down these words, and without delay, he only led a light horse to leave the barracks with a roar.
Jiang Zhenyi looked at the man's back in the distance, and just sighed.
Qingzhou has been groggy, she only remembers that she sat in the carriage with Wen Minyi, when the thieves lifted the curtain, both of them were startled, those thieves did not pay attention to Wen Minyi, but stepped forward and grabbed her body, she was just about to struggle, the first thief raised his hand, and a force was at the crook of her neck, knocking her unconscious.
Qingzhou's body kept jolting, I don't know how long it took, those bumps finally stopped, she tried to open her eyes, and saw that the sky was already dark, those horse thieves took her off the horse, she didn't know where she came, her nose was filled with a musty smell, someone put her on the ground, Qingzhou was confused, and saw several men standing in front of her, those people smiled lewdly, and she was like a lamb to the slaughter, there was no way to avoid it.
"Who are you?" Qingzhou hoarsely voiced, trying her best to speak, she desperately retreated, but she couldn't exert any strength in her body, she could only be forced by those people to herself.
"Brothers, look, this girl is still a chick!" I don't know who shouted as if she had found a treasure, and the rest of the people all gathered around, and Qingzhou was soft, only to feel that someone tore open her sleeve, revealing her white arms like congealed cream.
Looking at the red point above, several thieves were fierce, seeing Qingzhou lying there with a snow-white complexion, they all wanted to ruin her innocence on the spot, a few people fought for me, but they fought for who opened the bud first, Qingzhou was desperate in her heart, she looked towards the beams of the house, but she really wished that there could be a white silk, so that she could die.
Suddenly, Qingzhou heard the sound of horses' hooves in a daze, and pressed towards here.
The thieves also heard the movement, and stopped fighting, and one of them was about to step out of the door, when he saw a flash of sword, and the man did not know what was happening, so he let people stab a sword into the heart, and fell on the spot.
Several bandits were shocked, and when they all looked out, they saw a tall figure like a bloody eagle, raising their swords and rushing in.
"Who are you?" Several thieves were heartbroken, and asked in a trembling voice.
Wan Chongshan didn't say a word, drew his sword and went up, only killing all those bandits.
Qingzhou was still lying there, until Wan Chongshan picked her up, when the man's face was clearly reflected in the pupils, her tears finally fell one by one, her voice was very soft, so light that people could not hear clearly.
"Why is it always you" Her face was full of tears, and the pear blossoms were as pitiful as rain, and when he looked at Wanzhong Mountain, he couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his arm, and hugged her in his arms.
Qingzhou didn't struggle, she buried her face in the man's arms, only tears fell line by line, Wanzhongshan because of the fight of Fang Cai, the placket on his chest was already slightly loose, suddenly, something fell from his arms and fell in Qingzhou's eyes.
It was the sword spike she had woven with her own hands that day.
