Wen Yi's hand trembled, she almost didn't hold the letter, she hurriedly grabbed the letter tightly, and settled down before continuing to read it.

The letter did not go into details, but only mentioned that in the military report from northern Xinjiang, it was mentioned that in the great battle ten days ago, the two roads of Beiwangcheng joined forces to attack the enemy's camp at night, and wiped out the enemy's main force, while the armies of Huaixi and Hedong separately intercepted the enemy's west and north routes, in order to completely annihilate its remnants. Liu Dongxing and another young general each led 3,000 men and horses, and took the small road to outflank the enemy's rear camp and cut off its rear road, among which Liu Dongxing failed to reach the agreed meeting place, but set a trap on the way to trap the two generals sent by the enemy to ambush, and destroyed his relatives with fire, and burned one of them to death, and the other was seriously injured, and fled with only a few personal soldiers, killing more than 2,000 enemies in total. Because the fire was too big, the flames soared into the sky, and another young general spotted the enemy's ambush in time and repelled them. The fire spread to the enemy's rear camp, not only cutting off the enemy's retreat, but also burning most of the remaining grain and grass. However, Liu Dongxing himself was injured in the battle, his hands and head and face, and he was also burned by the fire, and his life was not in danger, and he has now returned to Beiwang City to recuperate.

When Wen Yi saw this, the whole person relaxed, and almost fell softly on the chair, only feeling cold sweat on her forehead. After a while, Fang relented, slowly straightened up, shook his head, and read the letter again.

Since the barbarians have been defeated so far, they must be unable to fight again, right? It's July now, and it won't be long before the imperial army will return to the court, right? Liu Dongxing was injured...... Where is the hand injury? Where is the head and face injured? And the burns are not bad? The letter only said that he was not in danger of life, but to what extent?

Wen Yi remembered the rumors about Liu Dongxing's injury in his previous life, saying that he was disabled and had broken his appearance, could it be true? She slammed to her feet, took a few steps out, and then suddenly stopped, deflated. Northern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from the capital, and no matter how anxious she is, she can't rush over to see her husband in person immediately.

Wen Yi turned around twice in place, wanting to talk to her grandmother, but stopped when she walked to the door. If you don't even have a quasi-letter, why worry the elderly? If you want to explain the origin of the letter in her hand, wouldn't it also leak Luo Mingmin's affairs?

Wen Yi was full of sorrow, but she had nowhere to complain, so she could only put away the letter secretly, thinking that she would find a chance to meet Mrs. Zhongli and ask clearly. It's a pity that Luo Mingmin is going to Qingzhou, and she doesn't know when she will come back, so if she wants to inquire in detail, she can only be cheeky to find Mrs. Zhongli, who is not very familiar. If it was something else, she might not be able to pull this face, but in the here and now, she can't care much about it.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long, and the lady in the left neighbor's house sent a post and invited her to tea.

Whether it was Mrs. Lu or the servant at home, they all thought that the "post" sent by Wen Yi to Shuping yesterday had been replied, and the other party was a courtesy exchange, not only sent a letter in the morning to say hello, but also directly invited someone to be a guest in the afternoon. Mrs. Lu also instructed her granddaughter not to be rude, you can find out the identity of the other party, if it is a family with a clean family, you can come and go often in the future.

Wen Yi knew the truth, so she could only smile bitterly, and only took Qiu Guo alone to the house of the neighbor on the left.

The surname of this family is Zhu, the hostess is a forty or fifty-year-old, mediocre but very kind woman, saw Wen Yi, greeted a few words, and briefly mentioned the experience of her husband is the secretary of the general administration, because he is too old, he is about to die, and it is really an unexpected joy to be able to find a quiet house in the capital to support the elderly, and I hope to be able to come and go with the neighbors in the future, and get along harmoniously.

She also mentioned that someone bought the house opposite, but I don't know who will move in.

Wen Yi had doubts at first, how could the General Administration Department be so generous, in order to facilitate contact with Jiang Yao in just a few days, he bought two houses in Yangjiaer Hutong, but now it seems that it is also taking advantage of the trend, not entirely for the sake of the Liu Jiang family, but he is a little relieved, guessing who the right neighbor will be.

Mrs. Zhu invited Wen Yi into the house to serve tea, but the guests sat down, and she left by herself, seeing Wen Yi stunned for a while, and then heard footsteps, and an acquaintance came out from behind the large screen at the back of the main house, it was Mrs. Zhongli. Wen Yi was taken aback and hurriedly stood up: "Why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Zhongli smiled and pointed to the back of the house: "That's the back door, and that's where I came in." In the future, I will see Liu Yiren here, and I can also hide people's eyes. ”

Wen Yi was amazed, but quickly reacted and said, "That letter ......"

Mrs. Zhongli smiled and said, "Brother Luo explained before leaving, if there is any news of General Koyanagi, I will send it to you." We also have people in Northern Xinjiang, but we are not just staring at General Koyanagi, and the news on the letter is that I have synthesized the reports of several manpower to find out, so I can't go into more detail. However, it is certain that General Koyanagi's life is fine, so please be relieved by Yanagi. ”

Wen Yi's face flushed slightly, and she solemnly saluted and thanked her: "Thank you Mrs. Zhongli for telling me, it is already an unexpected joy to get the news of my humble husband, I don't dare to take advantage of the public for selfishness, but I ......"

"Where did it get to this?" Mrs. Zhongli smiled and waved her hand, "The military report of the imperial court will only mention the general situation of the battle, but the military report of our general administration department has always been more detailed, not referring to the battle situation, but referring to who participated in the battle, who led the troops, who was the vanguard, who was killed in battle, who was injured, who was captured, who was killed or injured in the enemy, and so on." As long as there are generals who can count the number of names, they must be reported. Therefore, General Koyanagi's injury was mentioned in the official document, and I am just a favor. Liu Yiren rest assured, the generals of our court, all those who are injured, are divided into minor injuries and serious injuries. General Koyanagi was not seriously injured, so it can be seen that there is no major problem. ”

Wen Yi only felt that his heart hanging in mid-air was slightly lowered. Since it was only a minor injury, it did not hinder her life, and it would not cause disability, in addition to feeling sorry for Liu Dongxing, she was more relieved. As for the damage to her face, she doesn't dislike it as a wife, and others don't have to pay attention to it. However, Beiwangcheng is far less comfortable than the capital, and I only hope that Liu Dongxing's injuries can be properly cared for.

She sighed, and asked Mrs. Zhongli with a reluctant smile: "I read the words on the letter, the main force of the enemy seems to have been almost suppressed, presumably the day of the imperial court is not far away?" ”

Mrs. Zhongli smiled, "That's true. Liu Yiren will sit back and wait for the good news, it won't be long before General Koyanagi will be back."

Wen Yi has really sat at home and waited for the news, but this wait is two months. In the golden autumn of September, the weather in the capital has cooled down, and every household has begun to make winter clothes and prepare charcoals. At this moment, news came from the imperial court that the army returned to the court and would arrive in the capital in a few days.

Wen Yi had already received the news from Mrs. Zhongli, and immediately instructed everyone in the family to clean up the courtyard house. The main house collapsed, and the study and weapons room used by Liu Dongxing were all cold and needed to be reorganized; And the autumn and winter clothes that Liu Dongxing was going to wear were also prepared, and they were all taken out and put on the smoker cage to be hot and hot, so that as soon as he returned home, he could put on warm new clothes; Wen Yi also ordered someone to re-prune the flowers and trees in the courtyard, scrub the floor of the whole house, and even the doors, windows, and pillars were re-painted; The family members all shared half a horse of new cloth and two catties of cotton to make clothes, and the decent maid and mother-in-law also rewarded jewelry.

The Liu family's house was renovated, and everyone was happy on their faces, just waiting for the man to come back.

Wen Yi sent people to inquire about the schedule of the army and the time he arrived in Beijing every day, and he was happy, anxious, and worried, for fear that Liu Dongxing's injury would really be good, but more of a peace of mind, at least, he was back, and he would no longer be alone thousands of miles away, risking his life every day.

Seeing her granddaughter fidgeting, Mrs. Lu couldn't help it, and specially called her over: "The army is all in class, but it hasn't arrived in the capital yet, everything is fine in the east, what are you worried about here?" It's not time to rest, and when he returns, he will be happy to see your good looks. ”

Wen Yi couldn't say that Liu Dongxing had been injured, so he could only hang his head and respond. Mrs. Lu hated her and counted her down before letting her go back.

Mama Zhao came to Wen Yi privately and comforted her: "Miss, don't take the old lady's words to heart, she is anxious for you for more than two months, you are always worried, the old lady is afraid that something happened to the uncle, you deliberately hide it from her, and let the grandmother quietly go to the cousin's wife and Mrs. Luo Si to inquire about it, knowing that there is no aunt's name among the martyred soldiers, so she calmed down and persuaded the young lady several times, but the young lady answered, and the back was still like that." When the old lady saw it, I was really afraid that you had something to hide. Now that my uncle is clearly going to return safely, the army is only three days away from the capital, miss, you are still like this, what are you afraid of? ”

Wen Yi knew that her grandmother had done so much behind her back, and she was moved, so she said: "Actually, I'm not afraid of anything, Xianggong is coming back, I am really happy in my heart." Just before...... I was told that he was injured a little, and I was afraid that he would be badly injured and I didn't know the details, so I was upset. Although he wrote a letter home, he didn't mention it in the letter, so I knew that he was trying to hide it. If it really doesn't matter, what does he hide from me? Don't tell your grandmother about this, I'm just worried about it alone, and I don't dare to let her old people worry too. ”

Mama Zhao was startled and hurriedly said, "Really? It doesn't matter, right? Who told Miss? Did the man tell the truth? Suddenly remembered someone, "Could it be that Luo Gongzi inquired?" ”

Wen Yi nodded: "It's true, but it's not Big Brother Luo." Mama forgot? After he left Beijing two months ago, he has not returned. I just wanted to find him, and I couldn't find him. ”

Mama Zhao thought about it, then lowered her voice and said, "Don't be afraid, Mama has a way." The Zhu family, who lives next door to our house, heard that his master is from the General Administration. Does the young lady know about the Department of General Affairs? I have never heard of it in the past two months, his wife often came to talk to the old lady, the old lady remembered it in her heart, and asked her cousin and wife to inquire, only to know what the general secretary was doing, there is nothing in the world to hide from them Mrs. Zhu is very familiar with the old lady, and the person is kind, if the young lady is really anxious and wants to know how the uncle is injured, why don't you ask her to help ask? ”

Wen Yi was dumbfounded, and after a pause, he said: "No need, I will be able to see people in three days, why bother the Zhu family again?" ”

Mama Zhao blinked, noncommittal. The next day, Mrs. Zhu invited Wen Yi over for tea again, and Wen Yi saw Mrs. Zhongli again. The latter smiled and comforted her: "General Xiaoyanagi is all safe, Liu Yiren doesn't have to worry." Wen Yi suspected that Mama Zhao had said something to Mrs. Zhu, and her heart warmed, and she thanked Mrs. Zhongli.

On the day when the army arrived in Beijing, the whole capital was in a sensation. Therefore, the war lasted for half a year, and won several great victories, and the barbarians were beaten to the point that their vitality was greatly damaged, and even the general who commanded the army was cut down by General Xiao Ruan, and several royal children died on the battlefield, and only a few remnants fled back to the barbarian royal court, and I am afraid that the climate will not be formed for several years. When the news came back, the whole country rejoiced, so countless people poured into the streets to witness the victorious army.

Wen Yi couldn't wait for news at home, as soon as he heard that the army had returned to the camp, General Xiao Ruan and General Shangguan were about to lead their troops into the court to meet Jin, and all the soldiers in the army would accompany them, so they immediately ordered their families to slaughter chickens and pigs, drink and cook, and prepare Liu Dongxing to celebrate when he returned home, and then went to ask his grandmother to go to the street to meet Liu Dongxing.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help her, so she had to let her go, and told her to bring a few more people and take the car to save herself from being crowded. Wen Yi responded and left quickly, Mrs. Lu looked at her back, shook her head with a wry smile, and Mama Zhao smiled beside her: "Don't blame the old lady, their young couple separated when they got married, and now everyone is going to go home, and it is common sense for the young lady to be anxious." Mrs. Lu said, "Why don't I understand this?" It's just that she's too anxious, so that outsiders can see it and laugh at it. ”

Wen Yi didn't know about the conversation between her grandmother and Mama Zhao, at this moment, where could she care about whether others would laugh at her? As soon as she got into the carriage, she asked Wang Xiaoer to drive in the direction of Zhengyangmen in the capital, and when she arrived at the place, she was catching up with the crowds of people, only a large avenue opposite the city gate was vacant, ready to let the soldiers enter the city, on both sides of the avenue, all the people who came to greet each other, many of them were the women of large families who came by carriage. And the people shouted loudly in the crowd, his son was in the army, and he was about to enter the city, Yunyun.

Wen Yi's carriage was squeezed into an alley because it came late. Shu Ping, who came with him, went to the front to probe and sweated profusely and reported: "Big * milk, you can't get by, let's be here, the front is really squeezed, and I can't even insert a needle."

Wen Yi was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a commotion in front of her, someone shouted "Coming, coming", she couldn't take care of it, she lifted the curtain of the car to look, and saw several generals riding tall horses, surrounded by neat sergeants, coming into the city, and the second in line was like the Shangguan general who had met once. The general next to him was in his thirties, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Miss Ruan Er.

The people were cheering, but Wen Yi turned his eyes to the back of the team, which were several young generals, among whom had served as Liu Dongxing's companion. Wen Yi stared at the group of generals tightly, trying to recognize Liu Dongxing, but the more his eyes opened, the more blurred his vision became, and when he wiped his hand, he realized that he was crying, and couldn't help but curse himself, how could he cry if he hadn't found anyone yet?

Suddenly, she had a strange feeling in her heart, as if someone was looking at her, she looked up and followed that feeling, only to see a young military general who had just ridden into the city gate looking at him from a distance, with a beard on his face, but his eyebrows were very familiar, and his eyes were full of tenderness, and he smiled at herself.

Wen Yi couldn't hold back any longer, tears flowed down her face, but the corners of her mouth showed a reassuring smile.
