On the fifth day of the fourth month, the mighty dart bureau escorted through Baisha Town, and the dart masters came to visit Xiao Wan, who had been cut off by Ling Chaofeng to continue his life, and also took the children's clothes made by his wife from home to give her and the children.

Although everyone now knows that Pei'er is the child adopted by Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan, they also regard Pei'er as the flesh and blood of Ling's shopkeeper, and look forward to a new master of Lingxiao Inn in the future.

It's just that right now, the people in the inn are worried, it's been more than ten days, if you go faster, you can go back and forth between the capital and Baisha Town. But Ershan is nowhere to be found, he can't be waited for here, and there is no news from the capital.

Sending away the people from the dart bureau, Xiaowan asked Uncle Biao to go to Lizhou Mansion to pick up Lian Yi, this matter can't help but discuss with her, she is Ershan's fiancée after all.

Soon after Uncle Biao left, Aunt Zhang came to the house to look for Xiaowan, and sure enough, when she saw her packing her things, Aunt Zhang sighed in her heart: "Evening, do you want to go to Beijing?" ”

"It's not going to Beijing, it's just looking for it along the road." Xiaowan said, "Ershan is Xianggong's most beloved brother, I am his sister-in-law, I can't ignore him." ”

suddenly lost her husband, the sky fell, and the delicate little lady grew up overnight.

She is now the innkeeper and Pei'er's mother, and she has to take care of the two of them, taking care of Susu's family.

Once a bowl of noodles with lying eggs can be happy for a long time, the little lady who eats her eyebrows is gone, looking at Xiaowan's strength and courage, Aunt Zhang is not happy at all.

How much she hopes that the morning wind is still there, how much she hopes that Xiaowan is still that delicate little lady, watching her mischief being cleaned up by the wind and shouting for help, it is sweet in her heart.

Soon, Meng Lianyi was picked up by Uncle Biao, and was shocked to hear that her sweetheart was missing, she was quite calm, and asked Xiaowan: "What are your plans?" ”

Xiaowan said: "I want to take you to find Ershan together, all the way to the capital, if you meet him in the middle of the road, persuade him to go back." Xianggong is gone, and he can't change anything when he comes back, I hope he can get fame and marry you in a beautiful way. ”

Lian Yi immediately agreed, and set off after saying yes, just go home and say a word on the way, so he and Xiaowan packed up their things together.

In the evening, she waited for Daqing to pick up Susu, and Xiaowan asked Daqing to take care of her at the inn these days, and she and Lian Yi took Pei'er and Uncle Biao on the road together.

The night is getting deeper, Pei'er is full and sleeps sweetly in Xiaowan's arms, Xiaowan looks at him intently, and now the more she looks at this pair of little horns, the more cute she feels.

And now, calm down, if she doesn't look at her son, she will miss her father-in-law.

Everyone thought that she had calmed down and accepted it, and was slowly getting better, no, she was just hiding her scarred heart.

She doesn't want others to be pitied, she doesn't ask anyone for sympathy, and she doesn't allow anyone to laugh at her, she is Ling Chaofeng's woman, she can't embarrass her husband.

"Late, did you sleep?" Aunt Zhang asked outside the door.

"No, auntie, the door is open for you to come in." Xiaowan said, put Pei'er on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Aunt Zhang was holding a bowl of noodles with poached eggs lying on them, and she said, "You didn't eat much for dinner, I'm afraid you're hungry." ”

Xiaowan said: "I'm hungry, Pei'er, this little thing, always can't be fed, and it's about to empty me." ”

She gulped down the noodles, but she was never as happy as before, as if she had poured them into her stomach just to give her strength and milk to her.

When she finished eating, Aunt Zhang said, "There is a sentence I want to ask you." ”

Xiao Wan bowed his head and said, "Auntie, you say." ”

Aunt Zhang sighed lightly, and now it is claimed that the cause of Ling Chaofeng's death is that he fell from a cliff, and he did not say that he was chased and killed, which is what Xiaowan meant.

But everything that happened at that time, they all saw it, Wei Tengfei was misunderstood by her, and maybe until now, she still thinks that it is Wei Tengfei's fault.

But Wei Tengfei will not hunt down Ling Chaofeng for no reason, and the only one who can send Wei Tengfei is the current emperor.

Aunt Zhang said: "Do you want Ershan to continue to test your fame, do you plan not to tell Chaofeng the cause of death for the rest of your life?" Otherwise, how do you tell him to be the courtier of the faint king? ”

Xiaowan nodded: "Say it or not, Xianggong won't come back, I don't want other people's lives to be messed up." Without these things, Ershan can soar and become a useful person to the people and the country, which is also the wish of Xianggong. But if the emperor can't tolerate him, there is no way. ”

Aunt Zhang thought for a while and said, "Your uncle and I thought that you would want to seek revenge on the emperor." ”

"I thought, I wanted to kill him." Xiao Wan's eyes were cold, "But in that case, the queen mother will have no husband, I know how painful it is to lose her husband, I can't let her suffer as much as me, the mother is innocent." ”

"Late ......"

"What's more, I can't kill him at all, can I, a fool's dream." Xiaowan smiled bitterly, raised her calm eyes, and said to Aunt Zhang, "Don't worry, I just hope that everyone can live a good life, whether they hate or resent, I won't pass it on to anyone." I treated Xu like that day, I must have scared Pei'er, and I scared you, I was also very tired, I don't want to be like that again. ”

Aunt Zhang thought about it, and hugged Xiaowan, the once soft little lady would be coquettish in her arms, would whisper to her, and even she didn't understand the private things of the boudoir, and would come to ask her, they were not mothers and daughters, but now they ......

Xiaowan's body is cold, her breath is cold, and she is not even willing to open her heart to herself.

"Later, my aunt is waiting for you at home, and you have to come back early." Aunt Zhang said with tears in her eyes, "Remember to come home." ”

"I'll come back when I find Ershan, I don't like the capital." Xiao Wan said.

The night passed, and the next morning they set out.

Pei'er was very excited, this little guy couldn't tell that his father had just died.

Because Lian Yi had never seen Pei'er when she was born, she thought that Pei'er was an adopted child like others. Since it was adopted, it was normal for the shopkeeper Ling not to be sad without him, seeing that Xiaowan loved this little doll like his own son, even Yi naturally liked it.

They went all the way to the capital, inquired about the whereabouts of Ershan all the way, and walked very slowly, Rao was like this, and there was no way to meet Ershan halfway.

Failed again and again, failed again and again, everyone gradually lost confidence, and even worried about whether Ershan would take the waterway.

On this day, the carriage entered the desolate place, and when it came, passers-by reminded that bandits and robbers had been haunted here recently. Last year, the imperial court suppressed it, and they suffered countless casualties, so this year they made a comeback and intensified their injuries to the people passing by.

Xiaowan and his party were very low-key and cautious, but they seemed to be in a bad situation, and any unlucky thing could happen, seeing that the distant city wall came into view, they were about to enter a stable area, but the robbers chased after them, and more than 20 people rode horses, whistling and waving horsewhips, and surrounded them.

Xiaowan was in the carriage, and he had already taken out all the gold and silver, and when he had no choice, he just wanted to save his life.

But the robbers rushed over, lifted the curtain, and when they saw Xiaowan and Lian Yi, they immediately shouted loudly to the brothers: "What a beautiful little lady, come and see." ”

"Brute, get out!"

Uncle Biao was furious and got into a fight, although he was burly and had kung fu, he couldn't resist so many people, and he was quickly subdued.

Xiaowan didn't want Uncle Biao to be hurt, and shouted loudly: "Give you all the money, don't hurt us." ”

Several robbers surrounded her, giggling, looking directly at the little lady with fine skin and tender flesh, swallowing greedily and fantasizing about obscene things.

"Little lady, sleep with my uncle for one night, and I'll let him go." The robber laughed, and stretched out his hand to come lightly.

Suddenly, a great earthquake trembled, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, frightening people's souls.

"It's the Sichuan-Chongqing army!" One of the robbers shouted loudly, and they immediately didn't care about the beauty, gold and silver, and rode their horses to scatter and fled, Xiaowan saw the flag in the smoke and dust, and she recognized the word, Wei.

The army came like the wind, and quickly swept away the robbers, these two dozen people, just small minions, Wei Tengfei was ordered to come to exterminate the robbers' lair.

Xiaowan and Lian Yi hid in the carriage with Pei'er in their arms, and Uncle Biao stood in front of the car, only to see the ground shaking, flying sand and rocks, and thousands of iron horses speeding past them.

When the surroundings finally quieted down, Xiao Wan poked his head out, and he couldn't see anything in the distance, Uncle Biao jumped into the carriage and said, "Let's go quickly." ”

Let's say that Wei Tengfei led the order to exterminate the robbers and bandits, which is an easy matter, and he is also idle in the capital, and the thousand soldiers he brought cannot be wasted. Hearing that there was a local excerpt that the people were disturbed by robbers, Wei Tengfei took the initiative to petition and brought people out to practice their fists and feet.

He didn't expect to meet Xiaowan on the road, when he rode past the carriage, from under the flying curtain, he saw Xiaowan hiding in the carriage, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

After quickly exterminating the bandits, he led the troops back, and within a day's effort, he caught up with Xiaowan's carriage, and he ordered the team to follow slowly and not disturb her.

However, Xiaowan's side, stop and go, stop and ask if there is the whereabouts of Ershan when he passes through any village or town, and such a large army follows behind, walking so slowly, it will inevitably delay the return to the emperor.

So the large army took a long detour to overtake Xiaowan, and Wei Tengfei took a few people to protect her along the way.

Uncle Biao had long noticed that someone was following them, and Xiaowan also knew that it must be Wei Tengfei, but this person and her were inseparable from her husband's murder, and she didn't want to see him at all.

They continued to walk to the capital, this day to the river, Uncle Biao took Pei'er to get off the car to get water, Xiaowan and Lian Yi waited in the car, but their horses were frightened for some reason, and suddenly ran forward madly, Xiaowan and Lian Yi were thrown in the carriage and turned around, Uncle Biao heard the movement and rushed to come, with his skills, he couldn't catch up anyway.

Seeing that her mother was in danger, Pei'er was about to incarnate, but she saw a white horse rushing up and catching up with the carriage, a tall figure jumped up from the horse's back and jumped on the carriage, the horse neighed fiercely, but was finally subdued.

Xiao Wan and Lian Yi were shocked, the curtain was lifted, revealing Wei Tengfei's face, and he looked at Xiao Wan worriedly: "Xiao Wan, are you okay?" ”

Lian Yi didn't know Wei Tengfei, and looked at them blankly, Xiao Wan coldly avoided her gaze and didn't say anything.

Uncle Biao and Pei'er chased after him, and Lian Yi heard Uncle Biao salute Ling Chaofeng: "General Wei." ”

She asked Xiaowan softly: "Is it the general of Sichuan and Chongqing?" ”

Xiao Wan bowed his head, and then picked up his son and urged Uncle Biao to go on the road, completely ignoring Wei Tengfei's existence.

But after that, Wei Tengfei was always guarding not far from her, and even heard that Ershan was gone, so he sent out a few people who followed him to find it, and in this way, they were getting closer and closer to the capital.

That night, a golden light rushed to the palace of the capital, and when Ling Chaofeng opened his eyes, he saw a huge dragon hovering in the sky.

As soon as Pei'er arrived in the mortal world, he became extremely powerful, who could have imagined that he was in the heavenly realm, and he was just a chubby little golden dragon.

"Daddy, my mother is coming." Pei'er's voice was still so milky, which was very inconsistent with his majestic and domineering appearance, "When the time comes, with me protecting my father, I won't be afraid of demons and monsters attacking you, I won't let my mother see me, she won't know." Daddy, my mother misses you so much, she thinks about you all the time, you must go and see her. ”

Three days later, Xiaowan and his party finally entered the imperial capital.

Crossing the moat, passing through the majestic and strong, prosperous and lively scene, suddenly jumped into view.

"Pei'er, the capital has arrived,......" Xiaowan sighed, "This little guy, thinking about the capital, is asleep at this time." ”

She patted her son's buttocks, and when she saw that Pei'er refused to wake up, she stopped caring about him, jumped off the carriage, and stepped on the land of the capital.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came in front of you, but it didn't go behind you, as if it stopped abruptly in front of you.

Ling Chaofeng's immortal soul was separated from the stone statue, and at this moment, as before, he was standing in front of Xiao Wan, looking at his beloved wife.

Xiaowan looked ahead in a daze, but there were no lively streets in her eyes, no passers-by, empty, nothing entered her eyes.

"Xianggong ......" she shouted unconsciously, tears slid down her cheeks, I don't know why, after losing her husband for so long, he was so ruthless that he didn't even want to come in his dreams, but at this moment, she felt that Ling Chaofeng seemed to be right in front of her.

"Late, late." Ling Chaofeng reached out and stroked Xiao Wan's cheek and gently wiped away her tears, and on Xiao Wan's face, it was a breeze that blew away her tears.
