Just when Wang Dan was full of speculation and gloomy and silent, Hun Xi had already returned. Seeing Wang Dan's expression, she wanted to make a point, but hesitated, and finally sighed softly instead. It would be better to urge people to clean up the mess.
For a long period of time after that, apart from sending his subordinates to come and change the dressings for the sheep, he always excused himself to practice medicine and avoided seeing Wang Dan's family.
The relationship was like this, there were no more troubles with each other, no one was willing to take the initiative to speak for the first time, and it gradually faded away, and they didn't even remember why they stopped interacting with each other in the first place.
The medicine poured out for the sheep did not reveal the whereabouts of his hidden pill. In the end, he grew into an "orphan" hero. No one except his family knew that he had this problem, because it did not affect his daily life and he did not He didn't take it seriously and pestered Hun Xi all day long to teach him how to control a horse. He would follow Hun Xi wherever he went. Over time, he actually developed a body of excellent horse riding skills that was as good as Hun Xi's.
Compared with Yang Zhen, Wang Chang prefers the behavior of a scholar, reading, practicing calligraphy, and playing the piano. Yang Liu'er suspected that he was the soul of a girl. He was so quiet, well-behaved, and never messed around, so he was happy to do it. She taught him everything she knew, including the "winding up the beam" given to him by Tongliang. She also taught him how to practice music since he was a child. It didn't take long before he could play it decently! This makes Yangliu'er very proud.
Wang Dan showed no discrimination towards his two sons. When he cooked delicious food, each one had a share. When he brought gifts back, they must be of the same value and he followed their wishes. He was considered a conscientious father. .
Originally, the family lived a happy and peaceful life, just as Wang Dan had imagined when he decided to retreat to the mountains and live in seclusion. Until that day, he suddenly received an urgent letter from Huaxi, calling him to go there urgently. Attack Pengcheng together.
The journey from Weiguo Chaoge to Pengcheng was nearly 900 miles. Without Hunxi's help, no matter how good he was in Qinggong, his feet would not be able to run as fast as his four legs, and Yang Zhen was also clamoring to follow. After thinking about it again and again, Wang Dan decided that the three of them would go forward together. Anyway, there was still a son in the family. Even if the father and son were in the same boat, the Wang family would not be left without an heir.
Yangliu'er agreed without even shedding a tear, and personally prepared luggage and dry food for the father and son.
The road here is long and dangerous, war is coming, and people are fleeing from all directions, running around like headless flies.
Hearing that Pengcheng was about to be in trouble, more and more Song refugees fled from Pengcheng to Weiguo, even blocking the road. Wang Dan and his party of three, one person and one rider, immediately changed to the mountain road and moved forward.
Running day and night, running for twelve consecutive days, Pengcheng was finally in sight.
When Hua Xi met Wang Dan and his three men, they had been fighting hard for several days. Most of them had been killed or injured, and almost half of their troops, food and fodder had been consumed. He saw more and more casualties, but the Pengcheng defenders remained stubborn. Why? None of them can be captured.
"Dan, Lao Zuo and I have been fighting hard for several days, but in the end we were unable to capture the enemy. There is really nothing we can do. I just wrote a letter asking you to come out. Is there any good strategy for you?"
Old Hua Xi burst into tears, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he grabbed Wang Dan's arms and said.
"I have an old relationship with the Pengcheng guard. I went to my house at night and talked to him. If I can be persuaded, I will open the door and surrender. If not, I will kill him myself and will not show mercy. Just wait for me. News. My son, please take care of me!"
Wang Dan asked Hun Xi to be optimistic about Yang Zhen and decided to go into danger alone.
But how could the young Yang Zhen agree to such an opportunity without his own participation? So he also kowtowed to Hua Xi and requested that he and Hun Xi meet outside the city.
"Although I am young, I can drive a good horse. When I sneak into the city, I can take the opportunity to steal the horse, help my father, and achieve great things together! Please allow me, old general!"
"Okay, okay! You are really a hero! So, please take care of yourself. I am outside the city and waiting for you with good news!"
Hua Xi was overjoyed and lovingly supported the sheep.
"Then, you must stay with Hun Xi and stay together, is that clear?"
Wang Dan asked Yang Zhen solemnly.
"bright!"
The topography of Pengcheng is like a small basin, with mountains blocking it on three sides, leaving only one side facing the river. It leads to Pisu in the south, Yanji in the north, and Biansi in the west. This place is full of potential for rapid changes, and there is no more qualified place than here to protect the dangers of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. It can be said that this is the throat between the north and the south, and military strategists will naturally compete for it.
Between the mountains and rivers, the offensive and defensive forces are different: inside the city is an excellent fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack; while outside the city is a vast battlefield. No wonder Hua Xi and Lao Zuo are experienced in hundreds of battles and have rich experience. I can't even chew this hard bone.
Wang Dan and his three men abandoned Pingcong Mountain and let the dense mountain forest serve as an invisible barrier. They squatted until late at night. The Pengcheng defenders were exhausted. When they were half asleep, they climbed and slid into the city, avoiding the two groups. The passing patrol team finally managed to sneak into the city without any danger.
Outside Pengcheng, the war was intense; the people in the city were mobilized to strengthen the military and carry military supplies and supplies. A lot of rice, flour, grain and oil were also piled up along the way. This made Yang Zhen very happy, and he was doing it as he walked. He copied a few things to eat, but Hun Xi found out. She was so angry that she grabbed his ears and told him to hurry up and keep up with Wang Dan.
"How long has it been and you're still greedy!"
"Yo yo yo! Okay, I don't want to eat. It's okay if I don't eat! I'll put it on and eat later." Yang Zhen had never eaten this Pengcheng food and was curious about everything he saw, especially the big bucket that had not been covered yet. There were sesame seed cakes in a bamboo basket with a tight lid, and the aroma wafting from them aroused the greed in his stomach.
"Go quickly, don't let anyone find out!"
Wang Dan was fast, but Hun Xi was quickly left behind because she had to keep an eye on Yang Zhen. The three of them were divided into two groups.
The situation was urgent and Wang Dan couldn't delay any longer, so he flew back and told Hun Xi the meeting place: let them get a pair of Pengcheng people's clothes, then find a carriage and meet at the city gate where garbage is transported.
The black shadow flashed, and Wang Dan's figure merged with the skyline of the buildings in Pengcheng and quickly disappeared.
"Abba, let's go. How about we go to Bindu?"
Yang Zhen touched the sesame seed cakes in his arms and then remembered the business.
"Let's go! Find a room and put off your shirt first."
As soon as he heard that he was going to find some clothes to wear, Yang Zhen looked down at his own clothes, pressed the biscuits again, and said, "I must find a shirt with a bag!"
"I know! You are just a glutton. If I had known this, I would never have brought you here!"
Seeing that he was so unsure of the importance, Hun Xi frowned with disgust and looked at this silly kid who only cared about eating.
"haha okay!"
