Tiansheng West, empty Shengcheng.

The western border is a land of loess, close to the desert, with little water and mountains, barren and poor.

Kongsheng City is the last city on the edge of Tiansheng, under the guard of the Shi family's army, it has lived in harmony with the neighboring Yue Xia Kingdom for nearly 20 years, and the people have recuperated and recuperated, and it can be regarded as a sign of prosperity.

The city gate is open to trade outside the territory, and the market is full of people, which is very lively.

Shi Qinghuan sat at the window on the second floor of the restaurant, looking at the city that was no longer what it once was, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

In less than seven days, Shi Qinghuan traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Kongsheng City.

She used to stay here for several months, following her eldest brother's military camp, touring the city, and even the small turmoil around this empty city, there were many of them that she pacified.

But in the blink of an eye, there is no longer what this city once was.

There is no longer who they once were.

After drinking all the tea in the cup and looking at the hour, Shi Qinghuan got up straight and left.

Then they arrived at an empty house.

The house is an empty house that her eldest brother once bought for her, although it is not big, but it is remote and quiet, just so that she can come to play often.

Now the house is still empty, but it is very clean, although there is no one, but someone should come to clean it from time to time.

Shi Qinghuan's expression was dark, and after thinking about it, he sent a letter out.

After that, he waited in the restaurant far away from the courtyard.

She needs to know the details, the details of her eldest brother's escape.

And these details, I'm afraid only one person knows best.

The deputy general who has followed his eldest brother since he was a child, and he is also the general of Kongsheng City today, Wu Wei.

When Shi Qinghuan came to the border city, he was mixed with Wu Wei.

The eldest brother was busy with official business, so he asked Wu Wei to accompany Shi Qinghuan around.

At that time, Wu Wei was only a crown, young and energetic, and Shi Qinghuan had a similar personality, and after getting along, they could be regarded as close friends.

His personality Shi Qinghuan is trustworthy, but if it is said that ten years will change a lot of things, Shi Qinghuan does not dare not doubt it, after all, there are too many betrayals he has seen.

Therefore, she passed the letter first, directly in the name of Shi Qinghuan.

After that, stay in the restaurant, and if the afternoon is not as before, you will come alone.

If she betrays, she will be arrested.

She is in a restaurant, her identity and appearance are not what she used to be, and she is not afraid of his move.

Everything was in order, Shi Qinghuan sat by the window, waiting for the result.

As night fell, a fast horse galloped and finally stopped in front of the house.

It's noon.

Wu Wei cautiously looked around, and then entered the courtyard.

Shi Qinghuan waited for a long time, and after making sure that only after Wu Wei was alone, he made a detour through the back door and entered the courtyard.

From a distance, Shi Qinghuan saw Wu Wei, who was waiting anxiously in the front hall, was already thirty years old, and he was much more mature than before.

"Qinghefang is no longer there, I wonder if the five-spice pure brew can still be drunk?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Wei was stunned and turned around excitedly.

Qinghefang's five-spice pure liquor is Shi Qinghuan and his favorite wine ten years ago.

This wine is not very good in the market, but they all like it.

Wu Wei looked at the figure walking slowly not far away, dressed in men's clothes and wearing a veil, but this breath and feeling were no different from those years.

"Miss Shi Er?"

Shi Qinghuan didn't respond, but continued, "Five-spice pure brew with some clove powder is a must. ”

This is their unique way of drinking, and in this world, I am afraid that only the two of them know.

Therefore, hearing this, Wu Wei directly determined Shi Qinghuan's identity.

Quickly stepped forward, his eyes were full of excitement, "Are you still alive?" ”

Shi Qinghuan took a step back and stood in the shadows.

"General Wu, don't step forward again, I'm a dead sinner, don't implicate you."

"What are you talking about? The Protector Mansion has been wronged for ten years, and we all know it in our hearts, but it's a pity that General Shi made us swear to protect the border city and never interfere in the affairs of the court, otherwise, we will definitely go to Beijing to ask for an explanation for the Protectorate Mansion, and there is..."

Wu Wei's eyes were red, "We all thought that no one in the Protector's Mansion survived... I didn't expect you to be alive, but it's been ten years, since you're still alive, why did you come to me now? ”

Wu Wei said it sincerely, and Shi Qinghuan felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

The entire Shi Jiajun is like a family to her.

She drank wine and danced with them over a campfire under the moon, and fought side by side in the turmoil.

All this is her indelible memory.

In the Zhengyang Rebellion that year, Xu is Cheng Yangfeng also took care of the safety of the border city and disposed of the Protector Mansion, but stayed behind to serve the Shi family.

Shi Qinghuan's heart was sour, "You... Are you all right? ”

"We're all right, how about you? After so many years, how did you come over by yourself? ”

Wu Wei wanted to step forward, but after hesitating for a moment, he retreated, just looking at her eagerly, "Don't worry, since you are still alive, stay here with peace of mind, this time, no matter if he Cheng Yangfeng is still a saint, no one will want to hurt you again, otherwise, our entire Shi family army will not be this Tiansheng soldier." ”

"Wuwei, it doesn't have to be like this, I'm fine."

A sentence of noon wei made tears flash in noon's eyes instantly.

This is what she used to call him, seemingly casual, but now it sounds, it is extremely warm and familiar.

Shi Qinghuan didn't have time to reminisce and went straight to the topic.

"Wuwei, I'm here because I want to ask you something."

"Do you want to ask the general about it?"

"Yes, I got the news that the eldest brother was not beheaded at the beginning, but escaped?"

"How did you find out? Does anyone else know? ”

It seems to be true.

Wu Wei was so nervous, and determined what Shi Qinghuan was thinking.

Shi Qinghuan hurriedly explained, "It's Wei Qi, but don't worry, he is dead, and I am the only one who knows about it." ”

"That'll be fine."

"Do you know where Big Brother is?"

Wu Wei sighed, "I don't know." ”

"What was the situation back then? Since the eldest brother is alive, why has he disappeared for ten years? ”

"This incident was also an accident, when our army worked together to rescue the general and send him out of the barracks, he was not found out, and only two people were sent to escort him.

"Acts of God?"

Shi Qinghuan suddenly remembered the dossier he had read before, "The dust ten years ago? ”

"Yes, that dust was the biggest in decades, and our entire Kongsheng City was almost destroyed, and many people died, not to mention the villages and towns outside the city, and at that time, the general was outside, and we haven't heard from the general since."

Hearing this, Shi Qinghuan's figure flickered, and the trunk of the tree propped on one side was stabilized.

My heart was beating non-stop.

Could it be that the big brother...

Shi Qinghuan couldn't believe it, and Wu Wei hurriedly said, "Don't worry about it first, after all these years, I have been sending people out to look for it, but I have not been able to find the general's body, I think, he may still be alive, but he doesn't know where he went, or if something happened, he will not be heard from all the time." ”

Shi Qinghuan took a deep breath, and his eyes were resolute.

In any case, she was going to find it.

Whether dead or alive, she must find it until it is found.

"You just said, outside the city, where is the route you took to send your eldest brother away?"

"In Tiansheng, it was Cheng Yangfeng's eyeliner, and the general couldn't get out at all, so we sent him out of the border city."

"Outside the border city, is it..."

"That's right, it's Sifang City."
