Su Wan woke up in a daze. Hearing the noise outside, his heart froze and he suddenly woke up: "What's going on? What's going on outside?"
Li Lin pulled the clothes aside and threw them to her. He got up and flicked the wick on the bedside lamp stand. The room became much brighter. He said, "Something must have happened. Please change your clothes. I'm afraid something will happen soon." The garrison came to check.”
Su Wan didn't hesitate after hearing this and quickly changed her clothes. As soon as she changed her clothes, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Open the door! Open the door quickly! The government is investigating the case!"
"Open the door, open the door!"
The guards in the yard also got up early and were gathering in the backyard courtyard. Xiao Sang and Xie Sian were standing together. Seeing this situation, they were really panicked and their faces were pale.
"Sir, madam."
"Let someone open the door."
Two people were ordered to open the door, and the rest stood in the yard.
At this time, the night was filled with darkness, there were no stars in the sky, and a cool bright moon hung in the sky. The night wind was blowing coldly. Su Wan couldn't help sneezing, feeling a little cold, and stretched out his hands to gather the clothes on his body.
"Are you cold?" Li Lin turned around and asked her. Before she could speak, he told Xiao Sang and Xie Si'an: "Go get a cloak for Madam."
"No need." Su Wan shook his head, "Since we're here for inspection, it's not a big place and people should leave soon. It's normal for us to get up in the middle of the night and change into clothes, but if we prepare a cloak, it would be a bit deliberate. ”
At this moment, a group of seven or eight soldiers entered the courtyard. They searched around the courtyard and found no suspicious people, so they asked to see the documents.
There are two documents in this document. One is a road guide. In this era, you can't just go wherever you want. If you are traveling far away, you need a road guide. It says where you are from and what you are going to do.
The other is the customs clearance document. You need a customs clearance document when crossing the border. It also explains where you are from and what you are going to do. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to cross the border.
The guard took out the prepared documents, and the leader of the team glanced at the people in the yard. This couple looked very eye-catching. The man was handsome and the woman was delicate.
After reading the document, he gave it a cold look and asked, "Going to visit an old friend in the capital of Wei?"
Li Lindao: "Exactly."
The leader looked at him again, then returned the paperwork and left with the people.
After the people left and the door to the outer courtyard was closed, Xiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief and almost sat down on the ground with weak legs.
Xie Si'an was helpless and slightly disgusted: "Look at your potential, is it just an inspection? It happens all the time in this border land. It is the most normal thing. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Sang took a long breath and felt that her heartbeat was still a little fast. She reached out and covered her heart: "Have I never seen this before? Please help me quickly, my legs are still a little weak."
Xie Sian was a little disgusted, but he still reached out to help him.
Su Wan looked at the moonlight, feeling a little cold, and her heart felt cold: "Did something happen?"
Li Lin said: "Something happened at Shui's house. It's cold outside. Let's go back to the house first."
After that, he added: "Two more people will be on guard tonight, and the rest should go back and rest."
"Yes." Everyone accepted the order and then made their own arrangements.
The couple went back to the dormitory where they lived. The room blocked out the night wind and was much warmer. Su Wan went to the table and poured himself a glass of water to drink, and then poured another one for him.
"What happened to the Shui family?"
Li Lin took a sip and then sat down on a chair nearby: "I heard that a thief broke in and killed someone."
Su Wan's hand trembled: "Who? Where is the girl from the Shui family?"
Li Lin paused for a moment, a little silent.
Seeing him like this, Su Wan didn't understand anything. Although he said before that Miss Shui would not survive, it was just that the night had not passed before something happened.
There was a chill from head to toe, which made her head buzz and she was a little confused.
"Did something happen to the Shui family girl?"
He hummed and saw that her face was a little pale, so he could only say: "They chose the road themselves. Once she set foot on this road, it was destined that she would not be able to leave Dongzhao alive."
How can one person's life and death be compared to one's family, country, and world?
"Awan, you..."
Su Wan lowered his eyes: "You don't have to persuade me, I know the truth. If she is what she is today, I can only blame the Shui family for being stupid and blaming her for not marrying like this. There are many clans in Dong Zhao." , there are many noble sons in the world, but..."
But she took the wrong path and wanted to marry into the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty.
"I just feel that today I saw a float, so red, and a girl as young as a flower. She should have gotten married happily, but instead she turned around like this..."
It is really sad that a bright and bright life was lost like this.
That night, Su Wan tossed and turned, but couldn't sleep anymore.
The next day, the city gate was still not open. The garrison sent a team to suppress the bandits. Su Wan and Li Lin went to the teahouse again, found a quiet corner in the lobby, and listened to the people in the teahouse discussing the matter. .
"Did the government really send troops to suppress the bandits?"
"Of course it's true. The army left the city this morning. It was huge and there were at least a thousand people."
"But those endless bandits are so easy to destroy. Isn't this a waste of effort?"
Not only the people, but also the garrison were very troubled by the bandits in the Endless Mountains. It was easy to send troops, but the Endless Bandits were really difficult to exterminate. If there was a real danger, these people would rush into the Endless Mountains. In the mountains, the vast and endless forest is really hard to find.
After the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits left, these people gathered together again.
Or rather, many refugees who have no food to eat will gather here and become a new group of endless bandits.
It's really a headache to kill them all.
"I heard that the Shui family gave money to the garrison to suppress the bandits. The girls from the Shui family are going to marry to the royal family of the capital of Wei. After this suppression, these people can calm down for a while."
"Hey, I heard that something happened to the wedding party at the Shui family last night."
"I live nearby, and officers and soldiers came to check last night."
"I heard that a thief broke in and killed someone."
"What? Killed someone?"
"What about the bride?"
"I don't know. It is said that the Shui family's courtyard gate is tightly closed now."
The two of them sat there and listened for an hour. They had drank enough tea. No one mentioned anything about the bride's accident. It seemed that either nothing happened, or the Shui family concealed the matter and asked for another bride. Go up.
