30 Chapter 30
The car was parked in the shadows not far from the city gate, and in front of the city gate there was the sound of the army's footsteps gradually moving away, and the roof of the car was clanging, and the guards were covering it with sackcloth and piling up grain bags, disguised as a cart carrying grain and grass, so that they could go out of the city together in the procession.
Fu Yunwan sat alone in the car, holding Xie Zhan's spiritual position, and shrunk in the corner.
At the time of parting, Huan Xuan returned the spiritual position to her.
He kissed her forehead, and his voice was strangely gentle: "Even my share will be sacrificed together." β
At that time, she was stunned, and she didn't know what to say, he carried her into the car, stuffed a few l cushions for her tightly, and said: "I'm just here to watch, I'll come back when you get out of the city, don't be afraid, I'll come over immediately if something happens." β
The doors and windows were locked by him, she couldn't see where he was going, she only heard a vague voice outside, and he was whispering to Duan Xiang to explain something, it should be all precautions along the way.
It wasn't until the car moved around and left him that Fu Yunwan's stunned state of mind suddenly reacted, and he hurriedly moved to the door, unable to see or hear, but he could feel that he was looking at her somewhere nearby, tears slid down all of a sudden, and he wanted to say goodbye, but at this time, he couldn't make any noise, so he bit his lip and endured it.
The regret in her heart increased a thousand times in an instant, she was so rude, even if she forgot to thank him just now, she should have said goodbye to him, but let him go like that, when he closed the door, he looked at her with heavy eyes, and he must have been very disappointed in his heart.
For a while, he blamed himself and felt sad, he couldn't stop his tears, he wiped them and fell off them, and a drop fell into the spiritual position in his arms, when he was full of sorrow, he heard Duan Xiang outside and commanded in a low voice: "The lady sits firmly, don't make a sound." β
Fu Yunwan held back her tears and shrank in the corner of the car. The spiritual position was hidden in her arms, dried by the body temperature, and the sound of wheels sounded one after another around her, and there were several real grain carts in the team, surrounding her car in the middle, taking advantage of the night to do an excellent cover, the surrounding darkness could not see the five fingers, the sound of the wheels and horses' hooves, sandwiched with the cold air of the winter night, penetrating through the invisible gaps, lonely and noisy moments.
Fu Yunwan held his breath, his mind was full of confusion, and the car suddenly stopped again. "Who?" There was an unfamiliar northern accent asking, and the surrounding cars and voices were quiet for a while, presumably the garrison guarding the city was verifying their identities.
Fu Yunwan hugged the spiritual position tightly, didn't dare to move, heard Duan Xiang answering something, the originally black carriage vaguely leaked a few glimmers of light, maybe it was the soldiers who raised the fire to check the grain truck, and for a moment the fear reached the extreme, remembering that Huan Xuan was nearby and didn't leave, the pounding heart gradually calmed down again.
In the shadows not far from the city gate, Huan Xuan involuntarily leaned forward, looking closely at the city gate, and couldn't see clearly in the dark, but he personally did the customs clearance paperwork, and the guards who escorted him were also wearing Chinese military uniforms, and the city gate guards could not detect whether it was fake.
But at this time, she still feels nervous, her breathing is a little stagnant, thinking that she is in the car, she should be more nervous and scared, maybe she is holding the spiritual position tightly and trembling, right?
There was a moment in my heart that I regretted letting her leave alone, and another moment I thought that she must miss Xie Zhan very much at this time, right? Xie Zhan cares about her so much, always considers her as meticulously as a child, if Xie Zhan is still there, he will definitely accompany her in person, and don't let her alone, but he is not Xie Zhan, he is a martial artist, and a martial artist always dies faster than ordinary people in this troubled world.
When Xie Zhan is away, he can still entrust her to him, and if he also dies, who can he entrust her to? He always wanted to let her learn to live on her own while he was alive and within his ability.
The team under the city gate moved again, the document verification was completed, the garrison opened the door and let it go, Huan Xuan couldn't help but take a step forward, and there was a strong reluctance in her heart, and when she got out of this city gate, she really left.
In the carriage, Fu Yun couldn't help but move to the window, knowing that he couldn't see it, but in this way, it seemed that the fear in his heart could be less, Huan Xuan was watching over there, with him, he would never let her have anything to do.
But at that moment, he heard the sound of the shaft turning, and the gate closed behind him.
In an instant, she realized very clearly that she had left Yejing, and she was getting farther and farther away from Huan Xuan, and she was alone for the long road ahead.
Click, the last sound, the heavy city gate was completely closed, Huan Xuan's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but take another step forward, Wu Hu poked out of the shadow, and immediately pulled it back, at this time, it was not appropriate, and he could only show up when she completely left the range of the city gate.
Quietly hidden in the shadows, until the last sound died off, Huan Xuan urged the horse to come out, and stood at the other corner of the city wall to look back. She was gone, and she couldn't see each other for at least five or six days, which made him suddenly regret giving her Xie Zhan's spiritual position just now. She must be reluctant to let go of the spiritual position at this time, in the past five or six days, she may spare a moment to think about him?
Outside the city gate, the car stopped again, the grain bag on the roof of the car was removed, the door lock was unscrewed with a click, and Duan Xiang whispered outside: "It's two or three miles out of the city, there is nothing to do right now, let's rest." ()β
Fu Yun couldn't sleep at night, everything tonight was an experience that she had never had before, since she was a child, the farthest place she went to was nothing more than that time to go to Kunyufeng for Xie Zhan's funeral, the first time she went out of the house to go so far, and she was alone.
Holding Xie Zhan's spiritual position tightly, his hand hurt a little, and it was the reins that were sharpened on the part of the road that he had just ridden. Before she knew it, she had ridden a horse on her own, and now she was alone in this bumpy cart, going to a place she had never been before, and all this was like a strange and tense dream.
Leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed, his consciousness wandering in a half-dream. remembered that Xie Zhan took her to Zhangshui for purification on March 3, and took her out of the city to worship during the Qingming Festival, and the final picture stopped in the dark night, Huan Xuan supported her waist, and his big hand was calm and powerful.
What is he doing at this time?
When Huan Xuan arrived home, it was already five watches, and Wang Shu was guarding the door with a solemn expression: "Zhang Kang's letter.? ()? [()] "Come []+ watch the latest chapter + full chapter" ()"
Huan Xuan glanced at him, and saw the same worry in his eyes as himself. After receiving the first two letters, I have already started to check the people I usually use one by one, and I didn't find anything suspicious, but the third letter was still delivered, indicating that there are still people on the other side by his side.
Who will it be?
Huan Xuan tore it open, and hurriedly read it by the light,
Wang Shu saw that his expression was not good, and hurriedly asked, "What do you say this time?" β
Huan Xuan pinched the letter, tore it in half with a thud, and crumpled it in his hand: "Private matter." β
Zhang Kang knew his current predicament well, and once again persuaded him to return to the south, not only promising the future, but also putting forward a condition: if he was willing to cross the river and return to Shun, then he would lobby the Gu family and accept Fu Yunwan's return to the sect.
In this way, even the relationship between him and Fu Yunwan is well understood, and this kind of being looked down upon by others
() It's really not a good feeling to be thorough, he has never felt like this after so many years of crisscrossing the battlefield.
Throwing the crumpled letter to Wang Shu: "Look at it yourself." β
Wang Shu unfolded it and hurriedly read it: "I'll check it again immediately." β
"Wait," Huan Xuan stopped him for a long time, "focus on the people Xie Langjun gave me in the early years." β
Half of the people he commonly uses are brought out by himself, and half are introduced by Xie Zhan one after another, he believes in Xie Zhan, but these people are all old people of the Southern Dynasty, and they are deeply involved with Jiangdong, and it is very likely that one of these people carried Xie Zhan behind his back and made Zhang Kang's internal response.
Wang Shu agreed, thought about it and said, "Fu Shi Niang has already guessed that Fu Niangzi has left the capital. β
Huan Xuan was a little surprised, but not surprised when he thought about it. Fu Jiao is completely different from Fu Yunwan, and the hearts and eyes of the girls in the Fu family are not as many as Fu Jiao alone. That day, he said that he would send her back to Fu's house after helping her heal her injury, but she could see at a glance that Fu Yunwan was depressed, and saw that the relationship between them was delicate, so he said that he could help solve it, and said that it was not okay for him to blindly force her like this.
It was because of these words that he changed his mind and Xu Fujiao stayed. This person is very good at observing words and feelings, and observing people's minds, these skills may be very useful in ordinary times, but unfortunately in this troubled world, a mess comes down, and no matter how much heart and eyes are empty. "Just don't let her see outsiders, don't pay attention to anything else."
Before the words fell, someone outside the door had already reported: "General, Miss Fu asks to see." β
Sure enough, I can't stay in peace. Huan Xuan sat down on the couch: "Bring it in." β
"General," Fu Jiao knelt down as soon as she entered the door, the injury on her leg was not healed, and she twisted to the side weirdly, "The slave has a word of advice." β
Huan Xuan was condescending and said lightly: "Say." β
Fu Jiao prostrate on the ground: "The slave is willing to pretend to be the seventh sister and open her eyes and ears." β
"What do you mean?"
Fu Jiao looked up at him with a sincere expression: "The slave has been thinking for a long time, the person behind the curtain asked Sister Ji to bring the slave here Since it is for the seventh sister, then he will definitely spy on the movements here in secret, if he finds that the seventh sister is not in the house, the seventh sister may not be safe on the road......"
Huan Xuan suddenly glanced sideways, cold and abnormal, Fu Jiao was startled, and said forcefully: "These are all guessed by the slave himself, if he guesses wrong, he will ask the general for forgiveness." β
Huan Xuan was silent. He also thought of this, and didn't want Fu Jiao to intervene at first, this woman had too many eyes, and he couldn't believe it, but since she had already guessed, it was indeed more appropriate for her to pretend to be Fu Yunwan to attract attention than to pretend to be closed. Leng asked coldly, "What do you want?" β
"The slave just wants to ask the general for protection," Fu Jiao spied on his expression and replied cautiously, "If the slave is useless, the general will drive the slave back sooner or later, so he is willing to do his best to help the general achieve his wish." β
Huan Xuan couldn't be sure how many points she said was true or false, and after a long time, he called Wang Shu: "Take it and clean it up and move it into the backyard." β
Whether it's true or not, she is just a powerless woman, if there is a change, she can be restrained at any time, and she is not afraid that she will be able to turn the sky upside down.
The day after Fu Jiao left, it was already dawn, Huan Xuan closed his eyes and took a nap, and he was calculating in his heart where Fu Yunwan went, the guards outside the door reported to him, and the lieutenant who announced the decree came to the door: "The general Huan Xuan is also the governor of Huainan, leading the eastern army of the northern mansion, and accompanying him."
Expedition to Yanzhou. β
Beifu Eastern Army (), Yuan Rong's cronies, the main force β()βγCome []_See the latest chapter_ Complete chapterγ (), Yuan Rong is now going to be assigned to him. Yuan Rong will never give up, if he is incompetent, can not take over from Yuan Rong, from then on his prestige will plummet, if he forcibly seizes, Yuan Rong will definitely regard him as a mortal enemy, the officers at all levels of the Eastern Army are northerners, and they will definitely oppose him openly and secretly, no matter how they choose, he and Yuan Rong are bound to be a fire.
/>
Killing two birds with one stone, a good idea to fight.
Huan Xuan straightened up and took the holy decree.
***
In the evening of this day, Fu Yunwan settled in a market town a hundred miles away.
In order not to attract attention, the escorted guards have changed out of the color of the Chinese military uniform, dressed up as the slave of the northerners, she also changed the decay, the men wear hats and sit in the car, Duan Xiang pretended to be the steward, and Ajin Ah Sui dressed up as a personal slave, at first glance, it looks like a rich and noble family of the northerners visiting relatives and traveling.
Duan Xiang chartered a whole inn, made a fire and cooked with his own dry food, even the water was checked again and again, boiled and then used, Fu Yun was very tired after a day of car, and was resting in the room, suddenly heard a terrible cry outside, looked out of the window, and saw a shed on the road facing the street outside the inn, and a stout man in the shed pressed a woman with an axe in his hand, and was cutting the woman's arm.
Fu Yunwan buzzed in his head, and fell to the ground with a thud.
There was dizziness in front of him, and there was blood gushing from the broken arm of the woman, and the face distorted by fear and pain.
wanted to vomit, wanted to scream, gritted her teeth and refused to scream, and on the verge of fainting, she still firmly remembered that Huan Xuan said that she could not reveal her identity, and that she could not be heard by outsiders that she was a woman. The vest was close to the ground, cold to the bone, shaking hands and trembling to the foot of the couch and knocking a few l, trying to make a movement so that the two female envoys who were cleaning up the bedroom next door could hear.
Ah Jin heard the movement and came over, and when he saw her fall to the ground, he was so frightened that he ran over and hugged her hands: "Lady, what's wrong with Lady?" β
She couldn't hold her strength slightly, Fu Yunwan was paralyzed and couldn't move, her face was white, and she could only make a voice for a long time: "Outside, there are people, killing people." β
Ah Sui ran over, looked out, and covered his mouth so that he didn't scream.
"Go and call Duan Teamzheng, call him." Fu Yunwan ordered intermittently, "Tell him." β
Ah Suifei ran out to find Duan Xiang, Ah Jin hugged him with all his might, Fu Yunwan also struggled hard, and finally got up and sat on the ground on the couch. I didn't dare to look out the window, but I couldn't stop the sound, the terrible cry was hovering in my ears all the time, and my brain was dizzy, and I couldn't figure out how anyone could kill people in the streets of this market town in broad daylight.
The crying suddenly became quieter, and it was Ah Jin who closed the window. Fu Yunwan covered her heart and gasped, Ah Jin poured a bowl of water and helped her drink a few l, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, patted her back and whispered comfort: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." β
Fu Yunwan was afraid, and there was an indescribable feeling in addition to the fear, as if something she had never seen before tore off her disguise in front of her, and it was bloody before she could speak: "Hurry up and call Team Duan to save her." β
Ah Jin lowered his head and said for a long time: "Lady, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not what you think." β
"How's that?" When Fu Yun arrived late, tears suddenly welled up, and he choked up and asked.
"The slave looks like he has been sold to be a vegetable cook." Akin's
() His voice also changed, and he cried, "I'm afraid it's too late to wait for the Duan team to rush over." β
Vegetable man. What is a vegetable man. Fu Yunwan was stunned: "What is a vegetable man?" β
"If the food is gone, just eat people." Ah Jin wiped his tears and turned his head, "That's how the slave's aunt was sold." β
Fu Yunwan's eyes were dark again, and he clung to the feet of the couch so that he didn't fall. I vaguely remembered that I had seen it in a book before, but I never dared to think about it, and I didn't expect that one day I would see it with my own eyes, and choked up: "You go quickly, let Team Duan save her." β
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Ah Sui came back: "Team Duan has already gone." β
The next time was unbearable, at first I could faintly hear the cry, then I couldn't hear anything, and I don't know how long it took, Duan Xiang came back: "Lady." β
He lowered his head, and his face was also heavy and unbearable: "The person is gone, I gave the money to buy it, and let people carry it outside and bury it." β
Fu Yunwan listened in a daze, unable to cry, as if something was hurting his heart. In just such a short cup of tea, the person is gone, and the cry just now is clearly so poignant, she heard it.
"The one who fled from the war in Yanzhou couldn't eat, and her man sold it to a butcher shop for 3,000 yuan." Duan Xiang glanced up at her, "I'm afraid there are many such people along the way, lady, lady is only afraid of ......"
Duan Xiang wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to comfort her, Ah Jin Ah wiped his tears and didn't speak, Fu Yunwan leaned on the foot of the couch, his throat was blocked, and he could only breathe out for a long time.
In the past, she only said that she was bitter, but now she knows that there are many people in the world who are different kinds of suffering, and their flesh and blood may become the suffering of other people's meals at any time. What's even more terrifying is that along the way, you will meet more such people.
I couldn't sleep this night, as soon as I closed my eyes, the woman's painful and distorted face shook in front of me, and Ah Jin, the small couch on the side, moved, with a thick nasal voice between her breathing, and she didn't sleep, Fu Yunwan lowered her voice: "Ah Jin, your mother ......"
After a long time, I heard Ah Jin's choked voice: "The slave's Ye Ye led a family to desert from Jingzhou, and when he fled to Yuzhou, he had no food, the slave's mother and sister starved to death, and the eldest father and younger brother couldn't look at it, Ye Ye had no choice, so he sold Ah Niang to the restaurant and sold it for two thousand yuan......
Fu Yunwan closed her eyes, and the painful and distorted face immediately appeared in front of her eyes, mixed with Ah Jin's face, and she couldn't tell the difference: "What is your aunt's name, and where is she from?" β
"Nu doesn't know," Ah Jin shook his head, tears running down the corners of his eyes, wetting the pillow, "I remember that people call her the fourth aunt." β
Fu Yun was speechless for a long time. has a husband, gave birth to at least three children, and provided for the life of the family with a body of flesh and blood, but he has not even left his name and place of origin. In the midst of intense grief and indescribable anger, I suddenly remembered what my mother had said, and all the people in Shi were men, and no one had ever written about those women in troubled times.
Those women, those who were sold and eaten, and who did not even have their names left. When my mother was alive, she was always writing, asking, listening to every woman in the family, listening to the stories of every woman she met, she didn't understand it before, but now she does, and she wants to write something for them.
Dressed up, found the pen and ink from the luggage, those words almost flowed out of the heart, and there was no hesitation when writing: the fourth aunt, I don't know the surname and hometown, Jingzhou Jin's wife also, the soldiers fled with their husbands, to the border of Yuzhou, mother-in-law and eldest daughter
starved to death, the fourth aunt of the golden mane was a vegetable person, and she got 3,000 yuan to provide food and clothing for the old and the young, and to live. The fourth aunt and the youngest daughter, Ah Jin, traveled 100 miles outside Yecheng for the rest of the story. β
The light behind her was lit up, Ah Jin held the oil lamp high and lit it for her, Ah Jin didn't know much, and could barely distinguish the two words of the fourth aunt, and was taken aback: "The lady wrote it, is it the name of Nu Aniang?" β
"Yes, that's what I wrote about her." Fu Yunwan put down the pen and shook her hand, "Do you remember anything else about her?" I'll write it down for you. β
Ah Jin cried and said: "The slave's aunt is very good at cooking, the slave loved to eat the carved hu rice she made when she was a child, I don't know how to do it, it is very fragrant and sweet, and the taste slave will never forget for the rest of his life." β
Behind him, Ah Sui also got up, and interjected timidly: "The slave's mother will also make carved rice, when the slave was three years old, Aya sold her to another family to give birth to a child, and after giving birth to two little Langjun, the master mother drove back, the family had no money to support, Aya sold her to another family, and the slave never saw her again, and I didn't know if she was still there." Can a lady help a slave write? β
"Okay." Fu Yunwan's eyes were hot, she got up to change a new piece of paper, and dipped her pen in it, "Say it, I'll write it down for you." β
β¦β¦
This night, the three of them talked and wrote, and the fourth watch barely closed their eyes for a while, and after the fifth watch, they got up again and hurried. The farther away from Yejing, the more people fled on the road, men, women and children, wearing single clothes and bare feet in the winter, one by one hungry to the bone, farther away on the side of the road can see people falling down, I don't know whether they fainted, or have frozen and starved to death.
Fu Yunwan secretly watched from the crack in the window, feeling extremely sad in his heart, and the corners of his eyes were wet all the time. They carried food and clothes with them, but she firmly remembered that Huan Xuan had said that Duan Xiang would be heard if she could save it or not, and how she could save it, so she endured and endured the compassion that surged in her heart without saying a word.
Duan Xiang had already seen it, approached the gap that covered the window with his body, and said in a low voice: "It's not safe on the road, you can't expose your belongings, although these homeless people are pitiful, they can do everything for a bite to eat, Lang Jun don't look at it, everything is at the disposal of his subordinates." β
Fu Yunwan closed the window and retreated into the car, his heart turned back and forth, thinking about Huan Xuan's advice, and thinking about the life experiences of Ah Jin and Ah Sui last night, when they couldn't get along in any way, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves mixed with whistling outside, and there were screams and cries of women and children, Fu Yunwan's heart jumped suddenly, I didn't know what happened, I just felt like I was trapped in hell, and there were screams of suffering everywhere.
The car turned sharply, avoiding the side of the road to give way, Fu Yunwan didn't dare to open the window, listening to the whistling horse's hooves stopped not far away, the leader seemed to be asking, Duan Xiang patted his horse to respond, his voice was high and low, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.
I don't know how long it took, Duan Xiang came back, the convoy set off again, Duan Xiang's voice was nervous: "There are southerners in Langya who have risen up and killed the county guard, and the imperial court urgently dispatched troops to suppress it, this is the first batch of troops to set off to the past, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to walk along the way." β
Fu Yunwan remembered that he had followed Xie Zhan to see the map a long time ago, Langya was not far from Yanzhou, if Langya was taken by the southerners, Yanzhou would be even more vulnerable to the enemy, no wonder the imperial court was in a hurry to send troops to suppress it, but these people were all officials and soldiers, why did the displaced people seem to be very afraid of their appearance, crying so miserable one by one? I couldn't help but lower my voice and asked, "What are those people crying about?" β
Duan Xiang hesitated and didn't speak, and Ah Jin said on the side: "The lady doesn't know, the people are afraid of the officials and the army, just as they are afraid of bandits. β
"Why?"
"Like bandits, they also want to kill people, rob money, and rob women." Akindao.
Fu Yunwan was shocked to the extreme, listening to the noise and fighting outside, the cries of women and children, and the screams of men, and suddenly thought, what about Huan Xuan? With so many officers and soldiers under him, will his people be like this?
Yejing.
The Eastern Army camp is at the mouth of the lonely gorge more than ten miles outside Yejing City, and when Huan Xuan arrived, Yuan Rong was also there, dressed neatly in full armor, holding a spear, straddled the horse and said: "Why, General Huan came alone and dared to rob my Eastern Army Camp?" β
Huan Xuan raised his eyes, and the sun was like golden scales, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eastern Army drew their swords together, and the sound of killing was like thunder!
