Chapter 409: Wei's Most Outstanding Boy
The sun is setting west, and the gates are closing.
Suddenly, the general on the tower of the city looked awe-inspired, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, at the end of the road, a horse galloped forward, raising red dust like mist.
After a few moments, dozens more followed.
Although the number of people is small, the momentum is somewhat amazing.
The city gate general frowned and looked at it for a while, and seeing that they had not slowed down, he ordered in a deep voice: "Close the city gate!" ”
The guards below began to urge the last group of people to enter the city, and the man on horseback who led the way seemed to notice it, and sped up even more, and in a few breaths, he was outside the city gate.
"Stop him!" The generals on the tower hurriedly shouted.
The guards below rushed up in unison, flashed their spears at the man on horseback, and finally saw the man restrain his horse and slow down.
It was only slowed down, and the horse did not stop, but the man on the horseback suddenly burst forward, jumped forward, grabbed the spear of one of them, and swept away a row of spears in an instant, and even led the guards to be unstable.
The man fell back on his horse, pointed his spear forward, and shouted angrily: "I am Gan Mingcong, who dares to stop me!" ”
This shout was like thunder.
"It's General Gan!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the guards hurriedly bowed their heads and gave way.
Gan Mingcong held a spear in one hand and a reins in the other, and galloped away on the main road in the city.
The general's face on the city tower sank like water, and he whispered to the soldiers around him: "Go and inform General Wei that Gan Mingcong is here!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozens of horsemen who followed behind Gan Mingcong also arrived under the city gate and stopped, not rampage like Gan Mingcong.
The general breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask questions, but he took the initiative to report his name first.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qin and Her Royal Highness the King of Jinling County have arrived! Open the gates of the city quickly! ”
After Lin Zhizhi and Lin Jiaruo entered the city, they did not go to the Wei family's mansion first, but went straight to the Wei Changhuai family under the leadership of Gan Mingcong's personal soldiers.
Although Wei Changhuai is also surnamed Wei, he was born in a very inconspicuous side branch of the Wei family.
He lost his father at a young age, had no brothers and sisters, and lived with his widowed mother.
When he was seven years old, he was favored by General Wei and was selected to practice martial arts in his own family; At the age of eleven, he went to Lushan with Gan Mingcong to learn art; At the age of fifteen, he learned the art of war and tactics with Gan Mingcong.
At the age of sixteen, he galloped to the aid of Gan Mingcong and became famous in a battle.
Although he has been hidden under the light of Gan Mingcong, looking at the entire third generation of the Wei family, there is no better young general than Wei Changhuai.
But now, someone wants to ruin this Wei's most outstanding boy!
When he saw Wei Changhuai's appearance, Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but cover his mouth, and tears came out of his eyes.
I haven't seen each other for half a year, and I judge two people.
He leaned against the head of the bed, his face was as gray as ashes, hugged Gan Mingcong, who was crying in grief, patted his shoulder weakly to show comfort, raised his eyelids, and showed a bitter smile to Lin Jiaruo and Lin Zhizhi.
When he was outside the border, he went deep into the enemy territory, still full of vitality, returned to Suzhou, and returned to his own home, but he was brutalized so far.
"Why?" Gan Mingcong cried out, "Why did they do this to you? Your surname is Wei too! ”
General Gan laughed. A woman's faint voice rang out from the corner.
Lin Jiaruo only then found that there was a person standing there, with a gray cloth coat and a looming face.
"Changhuai is just a fatherless child next to the Wei family, how can he be compared with the noble descendants, he is like this now, I'm afraid he is not even qualified to have the surname Wei."
The woman's voice did not fluctuate, but it made a sudden stab in the heart.
Lin Jiaruo took a deep breath and asked calmly: "The Wei family, why did you abolish Wei Changhuai's leg?" When he said the last few words, he couldn't help but tremble.
He is a young general who gallops on the battlefield, and he is about to become the governor of a major town in Daizhou, even for ordinary people, it is an unbearable pain, not to mention such a young and famous general.
How vicious is the person who started it!
After Wei Changhuai's personal soldiers sent such a thunderbolt on a sunny day, not only Gan Mingcong, but even her and her eldest brother couldn't wait for a moment, and galloped all the way to Suzhou non-stop.
They don't know what happened yet.
"They said that General Wei Xiao secretly released General Gan, disobeyed the old general, and violated the family law; If you go out to the army without permission, you will be punished for two crimes, and you will be punished with 30 rods! "It was Wei Changhuai's personal soldiers who answered Lin Jiaruo.
"How can the rod thirty be wasted two legs!" Gan Mingcong jumped up, his expression furious, "Someone must have deliberately tried to harm Changhuai!" Who is it! ”
The woman in the corner sneered and said, "General Gan, what are you pretending to be stupid-"
"Mother!" Wei Changhuai finally opened his mouth, and with a hoarse whisper, with a little pleading, stopped the woman's words.
Gan Mingcong was just carried away by anger for a while, and when the woman said this, what else could not be thought of, and his face changed in an instant.
Wei Changhuai sighed lightly and said to him, "You don't want to be for me-"
He said half a sentence, as if he didn't know what to say, sighed again, raised his head, looked at Lin Zhizhi, and asked softly, "Does Your Highness think my leg can still be saved?" ”
"What about the doctor? What did the doctor say? Gan Mingcong hurriedly asked, his mood finally stabilized.
Wei Changhuai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The soldiers couldn't help but reply on his behalf: "At first, the doctors in the city refused to treat the general, and then the brothers made trouble in their own mansion, and General Wei asked the doctor to come and see-" His expression darkened, and he shook his head, obviously useless.
"I'll go find them!" Gan Mingcong gritted his teeth and dropped such a sentence, and rushed out.
"Hey-" Lin Jiaruo was about to call him, but Lin Zhizhi pressed his hand to stop him.
"Let him go!" He said lightly, "Let him make trouble for a while, and leave this matter to me to deal with, and you can't let the culprit hurt your muscles and bones, only if Mingcong goes, can you do it quickly!" ”
Lin Jiaruo bit her lip, still uncomfortable.
There is only one person who can punish Wei Changhuai with both family law and military law.
That person is one of the three generals of the Jingnan Army, the ruler of the Wei family's 150,000 army, the real power figure in the Wei clan second only to General Wei, the only male in the second generation of the Wei family's lineage, and Gan Mingcong's uncle, Wei Qi.
Wei Qi used a trick to deal with Wei Changhuai, and whoever questioned and investigated it had no trace.
Could it be that he could only let Gan Mingcong beat him up? But he is Gan Mingcong's uncle, what can Gan Mingcong do with him?
"I'm not reconciled!" Her heart burned with anger and tears.
He patted her on the shoulder, looked up at Wei Changhuai, who looked gloomy, and said, "Your leg may not be saved!" ”
With a calm voice, he lit up the faces of everyone in the room.
"I know a doctor who is good at straightening bones, and before I got here, I sent someone to find him!" He said, his eyes still showing regret, "It's just that this time, you will definitely not be able to go to Daizhou in time!" ”
