Chapter 232: Fan Xu, Wei Xu
Many of the soldiers around Fan Xu were wounded, and the road to Shuzhong was difficult, and his movements became extremely slow, because he was worried about being chased by Cao Wei's army, Fan Xu had to grit his teeth and ask some people to leave.
He only brought a few warriors and three hundred strong soldiers with him.
Not long after entering Shudi, he didn't expect an old family member who had grown up with him since he was a child to catch up from behind, and brought a news that made Fan Xu completely collapse: his mother and sister had committed suicide because they couldn't bear the humiliation of Song Tai and others.
Fan Xu fell from his horse.
Fortunately, everyone rescued each other in time.
The old family is old, and they have been responsible for taking care of Fan Xu for many years.
Seeing him, Fan Xu finally felt that he had seen his relatives.
"The old slave secretly escaped from Qingzhou, and inquired all the way to find out where the son was, but the old slave was exhausted and couldn't walk too far every day, and he didn't catch up with the son until today." After the old family finished speaking, they sat on the ground and gasped.
Fan Xu squatted beside his old family and was speechless.
"Childe should not be so sad, leave a useful body, and avenge the old lady and young lady in the future." The old family persuaded him, suddenly glanced around, and lowered his voice, "Please also ask the son to retreat from everyone, the old slave has the old lady's dying letter here." ”
"Where's the book?" Fan Xu asked in surprise.
The old family continued to look at the warriors behind Fan Xu.
Fan Xu had to wave his hand at everyone and ask everyone to go farther.
Seeing that everyone really left, the old family stood up, but they were still not at ease, and pulled Fan Xu into a dense forest on the side of the road, and then took out a letter written on the white silk from his arms with trembling hands.
Fan Xu unfolded it, and before he could finish reading it, his eyes suddenly turned black and he fell to the ground again.
This time, the old family did not rush to help, but squatted beside him, sighing incessantly.
After the time of half the incense, Fan Xu woke up and grabbed the collar of the old man.
Is what the letter says true? You grew up with me since I was a child, do you know the truth? ”
The old family slowly stood up, took a few steps, and suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground.
"The old slave should die, he shouldn't have hidden the matter for many years, however, this matter is too important, and the old slave and the old lady are forced to do this."
Looking at the appearance of the old family, Fan Xu realized that things were indeed as written in his mother's letter.
Here's a shocking secret:
Fan Xu was not born to Fan Ru, his father was Wei Yan, a famous general in Shu that year.
According to the old lady's letter, when Wei Yan was guarding Hanzhong, the old lady was working as a maid in a large family. This person is good friends with Wei Yan and often invites him to his home as a guest. Every time, it is necessary for the little girl of the year to serve on the side.
Wei Yan is quite fond of the little girl.
The owner of the family sent the little girl to Wei Yan's mansion.
Half a year later, the little girl became pregnant.
Such a good thing has become an intolerable thing in the eyes of Wei Yan's original wife.
The little girl must be a maidservant, her identity is too low, Wei Yan, as a county guard, naturally does not dare to confide in this matter easily, even if she intends to cover up, she can't do anything, worried that the little girl will be killed, Wei Yan took some silver taels, sent a personal attendant around her to take her away, and named the child in the little girl's womb Wei Xu.
Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong for many years, and clashed with Cao Wei's men and horses several times, although he finally kept Hanzhong alive, but it was inevitable that the local people would suffer.
At the end of the last battle, the little girl and the entourage were captured by Cao Wei's army, and even Wei Xu, who was still in infancy, was also taken away.
I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want the little girl to be favored by Fan Ru, who was leading the troops at the time, and forcibly married home.
Fan Ru treats the little girl very well and regards Wei Xu as his own child. Shortly after the death of his eldest wife, he straightened the little girl and became his wife.
If it weren't for this war, Fan Ru was killed, and Fan Xu fled, the old lady probably wouldn't have told the truth for the rest of her life.
"Could the old man be the old attendant?" Fan Xu was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Since I am the son of Wei Yan, what proof should I have?" ”
The old family knelt on the ground, and after a long time, he took out a yellowed white ayako from his arms and handed it over.
"This is a handwritten letter written by General Wei Yan back then."
Fan Xu was frightened.
"Back then, Mrs. heard that General Wei Yan accompanied Zhuge Wuhou on the expedition, and she also thought about asking the old slave to take her son back to Shu, but she was moved by General Fan Ru's kindness, and there was a young lady by her side. Later, when he heard that General Wei Yan was beheaded by Zhuge Wuhou, he told the villain not to show the slightest rumor. It's just that now it's different, the son is homeless, and the old lady has no choice but to ask the old slave to tell the truth. The old family added, "The old slave heard that although General Wei Yan was killed by Zhuge Wuhou, the queen of Shu Han did not involve his whole family because of this, so it can be seen that he also knew General Wei Yan's grievances." If the prince is bent on Shu, he may be able to continue General Wei Yan's unpaid ambition. ”
Fan Xu's hands trembled.
This was indeed written by Wei Yan back then.
Wei Yan not only admitted that the child was his own, but also asked his descendants in the blood book to treat their children well when they met them.
Fan Xu sat on the ground, speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, a warrior's voice came from outside the woods: "Major General, there is a Shu army blocking the road ahead, do we want to tell the truth?" ”
Fan Xu jumped up, wiped away his tears, and pulled the old family up.
"The old man can't go out and show the news, I have a reason."
The old family nodded and followed Fan Xu out of the woods (Wei Xu will be called Wei Xu in future chapters).
The one blocking the road was indeed a detachment of Shu Han.
After listening to Wei Xu's words, the samurai at the head were a little surprised.
"Since the general came to vote for me in Shuzhong, did he have a recommendation on him?"
Wei Xu shook his head.
"Poor people don't know the characters in Shu, how can they recommend it."
The old family behind him stepped forward and stood in front of the samurai,
"Although my son-in-law doesn't know the characters in Shuzhong, the villain knows General Dong Qi, and he can be regarded as an old friend. If the general is willing to accept us and send someone to the capital to inform General Dong Qi, he will know our identity. ”
The samurai was taken aback.
Dong Qi is now the favorite general by Liu Yong's side, and the official worships General Zhennan, who doesn't know?
"Since I know General Dong Qi, I will invite you into my city first, and wait for General Dong Qi to repair the book." Samurai said.
What the old family said was telling the truth.
Dong Qi is the deputy general next to Wei Yan in the past, and this old family member is also Wei Yan's entourage, although they haven't seen each other for many years, they still remember each other.
This is a very small county town in Shuhan, and the warriors are also unknown, but the hospitality to everyone is still very thoughtful.
A few days later, Dong Qi really sent someone to pick up his old family and Wei Xu to the capital.
A few days later, Dong Qi personally took Wei Xu to see Liu Yong.
"Although Nai's father was killed by Zhuge Wuhou, everyone knows that Nai's father was wronged, and if the first emperor was still alive at that time, he would never allow such a thing to happen." Liu Yong personally walked down the steps to help Wei Xu who was kneeling on the ground to help him up, and sighed, "I am now short of talents in Shu, such as the general and other loyal ministers also have a tendency to wither, the general abandons the dark and turns to the light, which is really a great luck in my Shu." I am about to renovate the ancestral hall for the former heroes, which can be regarded as a remembrance of the old generals. A separate sacrificial place was also set up for Miss Wei Qing'er to commend her merits. ”
"The villain thanked His Majesty on behalf of his father and sister." Wei Xu said.
Although he had not met his biological father and this little sister, Liu Yong's arrangement was enough to move him.
