That night, the team entered the depths of the valley, which was deserted and overgrown, as if the trees that had grown for hundreds of years stood towering in the sky, and the dense branches and leaves obscured the moonlight, and the moonlight could not penetrate at all.

The team set up camp on the spot, saying that it was a tent, but it was a simple shed, but Wei Tengfei gave the best place to Xiaowan and Hanxi. The soldiers under him are all self-disciplined, and they will never make the two female dependents feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

In the deep mountains and old forests, there is no condition to wash with hot water, Xiaowan thought that the cold tide would not be able to stand it, but seeing that she directly scooped the cold water on her face, she quickly handed her the handkerchief, and asked with a smile: "Cool, right?" ”

Hanxi shook his head and said weakly: "Sister-in-law, you also wash." ”

After the two of them washed briefly, they put on their clothes and lay down, only then did Ling Chaofeng come and tell him that there were wild beasts here at any time, so they could sleep in their clothes so that they could flee quickly.

Xiao Wan naturally wanted to follow Xianggong, but Hanxi was very pitiful, if she left her, she couldn't think about it for a while, it would be Xiao Wan's sin. So he patiently separated from Xianggong, secretly took a sip of incense, and stayed by the eldest lady's side with peace of mind.

Not long after they lay down, they gradually leaned together unconsciously, so that they could be warm and at ease, back to back, the distance between each other gradually narrowed, and Xiaowan naturally began to shout Hanxi's name, no longer so raw.

Hanxi asked her: "Sister-in-law, what did General Wei do when he went into the mountains, did he catch the bandits?" ”

Xiaowan didn't dare to reveal it casually, so she coped: "I don't know, I just came with me." ”

Han Xi said: "Isn't Shopkeeper Ling running an inn, why would he deal with General Wei?" ”

Xiaowan thought for a while and said with a smile: "I haven't asked carefully, wait until I ask next time, and I'll tell you later, okay?" ”

Han Xi smiled: "Sister-in-law, can't you say it?" ”

Xiaowan turned over and replied ashamedly: "You are a smart girl who has studied, much better than me, since you can understand, don't blame me?" ”

Hanxi also turned around, shook his head and said, "How could I blame my sister-in-law, I suddenly came out and caused you so much trouble." I'm just curious and asked casually, I only think about my mother now, my mother is fine, everything else can be done. ”

"I heard from Xianggong that General Wei thought it was too difficult to walk, and said that as long as he sent the people, he didn't care about anything else, so he would hire a carriage to send Mrs. Bi directly to Xiping Mansion later." Xiao Wan comforted Han Xi and said, "On the road, I will definitely not endure hardships, but when I get there, I have to serve labor or something, and General Wei is not good to interfere in this matter." ”

"In that case, then why didn't he tell me to follow."

"When you arrive at Xiping Mansion, your mother is going to be tried and punished again, she must not want you to see how miserable she is, Hanxi, can you figure it out? Don't get me wrong, the general is nosy. ”

"Yes, I can't get him wrong. General Wei is a good man, and I am grateful to him. Hanxi was full of guilt, "I don't even know how to repay him, I still made him angry, and he saved me for the second time." ”

"You've known each other before?" Xiaowan asked.

"It's ...... last year" Hanxi said that he was forced by his father to marry Wei Tengfei, and even asked her to seduce Wei Tengfei by any means, and the more he said it, the more sad he became, "Daddy, he is not only sorry for my brother and mother and son in the industry, but also to me, to my brother, to my mother and grandmother, in his eyes they are just chess pieces." We were a mess, but he was at home, this world is really unfair, but he is my father. ”

Xiaowan touched Hanxi's arm, covered her with more thin quilts, and said softly: "Now that Bi Gongzi has set up his own door, and in the future, he will break out of the world in the imperial court with Ershan, he will definitely be more amazing than your father, they love you so much, they will protect you." ”

She thought in her heart that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and rich and noble families may not be happy, and she can marry her husband and meet such a good family, she must cherish it.

"Sleep, we may be on our way early tomorrow morning." Xiao Wan said, patting the cold tide, the two snuggled and fell asleep unconsciously.

The people outside the tent were also leaning together in twos and threes to keep warm, Ling Chaofeng closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard something strange in the surrounding woods, he turned over, vigilantly observed the movements around him, and saw a pair of blue light in the dark, I don't know what was approaching, but it seemed to feel that this place was not easy to deal with, and left again.

"Are you alright?" Wei Tengfei also came over, holding a sword in his hand.

"It's okay, let's go." Ling Chaofeng said, "No one comes to this mountain forest on weekdays, and the beasts here are quite fresh when they see people. ”

Wei Tengfei smiled: "I haven't stayed in such a dangerous place for a long time, it's weird to be excited." ”

General Wei was a few years older than Ling Chaofeng, already in his early thirties, but he was full of youthful vigor. Naturally, in a calm and majestic place, a glance can make people frightened, and the Sichuan and Chongqing army is famous, but it is not a joke.

Ling Chaofeng and he met him in a hurry for the first time in General Shen's tent, and later due to fate, they came to the inn on the way to the queen's draft in Beijing, and after they met again, they became friends.

The two observed for a while, and after confirming that no wild beast was approaching, they went to sit down by the campfire, and General Wei smiled: "I didn't expect you to get married so soon, and the next time I go to Beijing and see smoke, I should be talked about by her again." ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: "Fate is here, I can't help but want to grasp it, Xiaowan and I have also gone through some ups and downs to be successful." The general's prestige is far and wide, and all the women in the world are willing to marry you, but fate has not arrived, and the one who should have come has not yet appeared. ”

Wei Tengfei laughed, shook his head and said, "This is not like Shopkeeper Ling, who actually said something to me about fate." ”

Ling Chaofeng disagreed, and said with a smile: "When the general's beauty appears, you will naturally think so." ”

"But for now...... But this is not the time for me to pursue the love of children. Wei Tengfei's expression suddenly became serious, "I heard that the prince of Xiluo Kingdom has been in Beijing for a whole summer, and he has asked me everywhere to teach me the culture of Daqi, and even wants to study the national defense and military of my Daqi. The emperor doesn't care, he is everywhere, and he doesn't get into trouble, he is humble and polite, so people can't catch the handle. ”

Ling Chaofeng listened quietly, naturally he already knew these things.

"What does the emperor mean, I'm a rough man, unpredictable." Wei Tengfei said, "We are thousands of miles away from the Xiluo Kingdom, and the sea is separated, if we really want to fight, will we fight over, or will they fight over?" Is it offensive or defensive? ”

Wei Tengfei said a lot of things, and he was even more blunt about Ling Chaofeng: "You all say that the Sichuan and Chongqing army is famous, but in fact, the prestige is all in my father's place. After I took over the army, I only swept away the bandits a few times, and put down a few rebellions of the remnants of the Zhao State, and the common people benefited, of course they said that I was good, but I never really killed the enemy on the battlefield. The emperor attacked the Liang State and didn't take a single soldier of my Sichuan-Chongqing army, I really couldn't sit still day and night, so I met you in General Shen's military camp, but in fact, it was too unstable to do that. ”

"Across the sea, it is too difficult to expand the territory, and I have made countless enemies for more than 30 years, so it is really difficult to deal with it." Ling Chaofeng said, "What I said as a layman may not make much sense, but there is no war in the world, which is the royal road to the rejuvenation of the country." ”

Wei Tengfei said with a smile: "If you want the world to be war-free, you can't ask outsiders not to bully us, but to ask us to be strong, so that they don't even think about it." ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Your Majesty, he is the same as you, and he has never been on the battlefield. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding.

Today, this great country has really been passed into the hands of the younger generation.

Thousands of miles away, in the quiet capital, in the palace of King Shen, the study is still lit up.

Shen Qing heard that her father was still busy with official business, so she brought a supper from the kitchen and entered the door and said, "Daddy, you're hungry." ”

Shen Zhe put down the letter in his hand, saw his daughter Qianying slowly approaching, and said pitifully: "Why haven't you slept yet, this morning I went to Huguo Temple with my aunt and grandmother to offer incense, and I accompanied you all day, so I'm tired." ”

"I have something on my mind, and I can't sleep." Shen Qing said, took his father's hand, and told him to go to the table for supper.

"What's on Daddy's mind about Xiaoqing'er, did she come to tell Daddy?" Shen Zhe smiled dotingly, "What about your mother, does she know, when she turns around, she will be angry when she finds that we don't take her." ”

Qing'er said coquettishly: "Daddy thinks about everything about his mother, I want to be jealous." ”

Shen Zhe patted the back of his daughter's hand, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Dad eats supper, you say it slowly." ”

The daughter sat down on the side, looked at her father gently, and was relieved to see him eat in one bite.

"Isn't it an unhappy thing?" Shen Zhe asked again.

"I don't know...... Shen Qing lowered her eyes, sank her heart, and said, "It's all said outside that the emperor's brother is choosing people, and he wants to make peace with Xiluo Kingdom, and that blue-eyed prince." ”

Shen Zhe frowned slightly and put down the spoon.

Shen Qing said: "Daddy, the emperor's brother, did he choose me?" ”
