Chapter Seventy-Three: Commitment

Xie Zhiyun and Yu Hanzhao just came over to help interrogate the lady of the Wang family, and the follow-up arrest was naturally worried by the halberd.

After the interrogation, Xie Zhiyun wanted to go home, but before she could speak, she heard the guard say, "Madame, do you want to walk around the camp?" ”

From the beginning of entering the camp in the western suburbs, there were countless eyes that seemed to fall on Xie Zhiyun, and Xie Zhiyun could feel it no matter how clever he was.

But there was only curiosity in that gaze, without a trace of malice, and Xie Zhiyun didn't say anything.

Hearing Wei Ji's words at this moment, she said: "After all, the camp in the western suburbs is an important place, and I am afraid that it is inappropriate for me to wander around as a market." ”

The halberd smiled, his handsome face glowing in the sunlight.

"How could it be inappropriate? Madame has never been to the camp in the western suburbs, and she is not very familiar with the camp, and if something happens in the future, she will not get lost after getting acquainted. ”

He said so, Xie Zhiyun thought about it, and said, "What about the second brother-in-law?" ”

The garrison was prepared.

He pointed ahead, Xie Zhiyun looked up, and saw a team of soldiers leading a horse over.

"That's her third brother's horse, and the second brother-in-law should be willing to ride home."

Today is to accompany her, Yu Hanzhao sat in the carriage.

Xie Zhiyun immediately did not hesitate: "In this case, let the second brother-in-law go back first." ”

When Yu Hanzhao was arranged, Wei Ji said, "Madame, please." ”

The camp in the western suburbs covers an extremely wide area, and a whole mountain forest at the foot of the Xibi Mountain is built into a camp, and most of the soldiers' barracks are built in the mountains and forests, built along the mountain, hidden and regular.

Xie Zhiyun had just the right smile on her face, and her eyebrows were also relaxed and indifferent, she followed the fingers of the halberd, and looked at the grass and trees in the camp seriously, looking quite focused.

"This is the council chamber, this is the Armaments Division, and behind the Armaments Division is the warehouse, where weapons and uniforms are stored."

"This is my father's tent, there is my tent, and there are a few tents for the generals, and they are all discussing in my father's tent."

Since the establishment of the palace in Yezhou, Wei Cang has rarely come to the camp in the western suburbs, and this place has been handed over to the Wei Halberd to dispose of, so to speak, the Tiger Talisman of the Wei Family Army has been vaguely placed in the hands of the Wei Halberd.

He was mostly in the governor's mansion on weekdays, and occasionally at home, he was always busy with the ministers of various provinces.

Xie Zhiyun was a little surprised: "Why did my father come to the camp in the western suburbs?" ”

The halberd's footsteps paused slightly, and at this moment, no one around, or no one dared to step forward to disturb the young general and the young lady, the two of them were empty, only the wild grass on the ground swayed.

He didn't expect Xie Zhiyun to be so keen, and with a simple sentence, she grasped the suspicion in her words.

Wei Ji sighed, raised his eyes again, and looked at Xie Zhiyun.

There is an indescribable tenderness in his gaze, but that tenderness is hidden in the depths of the stars, making it impossible to see his true heart.

"At the beginning of April, I will lead the army to suppress the bandits," the halberd said to her in a low voice, word by word, "Recently, there have been remnants of rebellion in the old Wucao department, which have disturbed the people under the mountain, and my father has consulted with several generals, and it is decided to take advantage of the beginning of spring to suppress the bandits. ”

I don't know why, Xie Zhiyun only felt a hissing in his ears.

High and low chirps echoed in her ears, and she could barely think she could hear the Halberd's words.

But she didn't miss a word, and she could hear it clearly.

The halberd said to her, "I'll go for a few days, and as long as this trip goes well, I can return home as soon as possible." ”

"I'll be back sooner to celebrate your birthday."

Xie Zhiyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and for the first time in her life, she realized what it means to be upset.

It's rare that her mind is so messed up that she can't even tell whether she is happy or sad.

She couldn't even answer the Halberd's promise.

She wanted to tell him that it was only the nineteenth birthday, which was not that important, and she also wanted to tell him that it would be better to come back earlier, and when the spring breeze was warm, they could go to the suburbs.

But when those words came to his lips, they only turned into three words: "That's it." ”

The halberd looked down at her, his face calm, and there was a little tenderness in his eyes.

After all, he was still a little reluctant.

Xie Zhiyun didn't say anything, didn't make him promise, didn't let him stay, didn't get angry, and didn't rejoice.

She just stood there calmly, just looking away from the stars in the depths of his eyes.

The halberd reached out and patted her forehead gently, his voice smiling.

"Don't worry about me," the guard said, "The old Wucao tribe is a rabble, there are less than a thousand people in total, and they are hidden in the vast Taiji Mountain all year round, and their tracks are secretive, so they can't be wiped out." ”

The halberd was very patient, and he made it clear to her word by word.

"In addition, there are constant wars outside the eight states, and there are people who have entered the mountains one after another, so that they can not be completely extinguished, and recently in the spring, the people have begun to prepare for the new year's cultivation again, and these mountain bandits will see the opportunity and prepare to rob a batch of property."

"The plan of the year lies in the spring, in order to allow the people to cultivate new rice with peace of mind, this is the spring to suppress bandits."

"Not dangerous."

The halberd said so much in a row that he didn't stop until he was so dry that he couldn't stop talking.

He looked at Xie Zhiyun, and the tenderness between his eyebrows was almost overflowing.

He never liked to hide himself, nor was he a forbearant character, but at this point, he finally understood what kind of mood he was in.

He was reluctant to thank Zhiyun, reluctant to leave her alone in Yezhou, and reluctant to leave her.

But in this troubled world, unless there is a day when the world is peaceful and the country is unified, this short separation will always come.

If he lingers in the warmth of Yezhou, lingers in the carved and painted pillars of the Suguo Mansion, and lingers in the title of the little grandfather, for the people, their separation will be goodbye.

He understood this from the first day he went to war at the age of fifteen.

Hearing his words that were not dangerous, Xie Zhiyun slowly raised his head.

She lifted her eyes lightly and looked at the halberd with those eyes that were as gentle as water.

"Is there really no danger?"

She finally asked what was deep in her heart.

She didn't dream of him going on an expedition, and she didn't know if he was safe.

If it had been in the past, if she had dreamed of those things, she would have only been worried, worried about the success or failure of this battle.

But at this moment, the prophetic dream that did not come made her more and more anxious.

She was afraid that she had missed something, that she had not worked hard to fall asleep, so that she would miss something.

Her voice was light and her tone was light, but the halberd could clearly feel her concern.

This worry was the first time he felt it from her.

At this moment, contentment filled his heart, making his hands and feet warm.

Gentle and silent, but gentle and powerful.

"My halberd will never die on the battlefield, I promise you."
