"I don't know the details." Wu Xinyuan was afraid that they would do it again, so he quickly added, "But I know that Beiling gave you fifty thousand taels of silver.
The Lord used this money to transfer back to the capital. "
"Is Mrs. Wu involved?" Wei Qingyan asked.
It hurt to say any more words. Wu Xinyuan shook his head subconsciously, and the gap touched the dagger. It hurt so much that his nose and tears came out together, "Madam is usually in the back house, and I rarely see her. I beg you to spare my life. I don't dare to do it again." He did something evil..."
Rao?
How could he be spared?
Her people didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the plot of such a villain. How could she be worthy of them if she spared him.
Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes, turned his arm, and thrust the dagger into Wu Xinyuan's throat...
The next day, noon.
Jingzhe and his party were waiting in the col next to the official road. He had been riding a horse and had run back and forth on the official road several times, looking anxious.
It has passed the time appointed by General Wei, and the prince and the others have not returned yet!
Waited for another half hour.
He got on his horse again and said, "No, I have to go back to Yu County to see if something happened to the prince and the others."
"Let's go together." Yan Lan and others also stood up.
As soon as everyone got on their horses and left the mountain col, they saw two horses running towards them from a distance.
"Miss Chang, it's Miss Chang and the others." A guard shouted first.
Jingzhe hugged the horse's belly and rushed forward, "My lord, are you okay?"
"Nothing, let's go back to Beijing." Shi Yu shook his head slightly.
Over there, Yan Lan also checked Wei Qingyan with her eyes. Seeing that there were no injuries on her body, but her face was not very good, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Wei Qingyan half-closed his eyes and said to everyone calmly, "Let's go."
Then he rode forward.
Shi Yu followed, and the others hurriedly followed.
Due to delays during the day, everyone missed the inn in the evening, so they directly found a flat land near the water and lit a bonfire to rest.
Everyone was roasting dry food or collecting firewood, but no one spoke.
"Ugh..." A sound of retching broke the silence.
Yan Lan turned her back to everyone and squatted on the ground with her mouth covered.
"Miss Chang, Yan Lan hasn't eaten since yesterday." Jingzhe squatted next to Wei Qingyan and whispered, "She vomited when she smelled it. She must have been frightened."
It is true that Jingzhe is worried about Yan Lan, and it is also true that she wants to talk to Wei Qingyan.
Although the silent General Wei is scary, he dare not disobey his master's orders.
Wei Qingyan glanced at Yan Lan, stood up and walked into the nearby forest. Not long after, he came over with a bamboo joint as thick as his arm.
Seeing this, Jingzhe understood what she was going to do and hurriedly took it, "Miss Chang, I'll come."
Cut the bamboo joints into three bamboo tubes, wash them, and fill each tube half with water.
The clever guard had built a simple stove out of stones, put the bamboo tube on it, and the water boiled in a short time.
Wei Qingyan tore the dry biscuits into pieces, threw them in, stirred them with a bamboo skewer, and turned them into batter.
"Drink something to make your stomach feel better." Wei Qingyan handed a cooled bamboo tube to Yan Lan.
"I'm sorry for affecting you." Yan Lan apologized very much.
She didn't mean to do it, but as long as she ate, she would think of the appearance of the bandits before they died, and the smell of burning corpses in the air, and her stomach would turn uncontrollably.
It was like this at the inn last night, and it's like this again today.
In order to take care of her, everyone tried their best not to eat meat. Knowing everyone's good intentions, she stayed away. Unexpectedly, the smell of sesame cakes wafted over, and she couldn't help but vomit it out.
Wei Qingyan held her hand and felt her pulse without leaving any trace.
It wasn't a slippery pulse, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "No one blames you."
Everyone has a first time.
"However, no matter what the situation, you must ensure that you have sufficient physical strength."
Because you don’t know whether there will be danger at the next moment or whether you will be able to eat the next meal.
Yan Lan instantly thought of Yan Qing and Wei Qingyan.
When the news of their deaths reached Linzhou, there were several versions, but the one that impressed her the most was, "I heard that the National Protectorate Army was trapped in the mountains and was so hungry that they were all skin and bones. It's pity that the hero of Wei Dynasty died of starvation." ghost."
"Miss Chang, does it feel uncomfortable to be hungry? They said that my brother and Qingyan left hungry."
After asking, she felt rude again.
Miss Chang seems to be a capable person, how could she ever be hungry.
But the person next to me answered, "Yes, I feel flustered, weak, and my stomach is cramping and burning."
Yan Lan was slightly startled, and soon thought that Miss Chang was lost back then, and she must have suffered hardships outside when she was young.
She didn't know how to comfort her, and she even thought of the pain her loved ones had gone through before they died. She raised her head and took a sip of the batter in the bamboo tube. Her stomach was churning, and she gritted her teeth and pursed her lips before swallowing.
Wei Qingyan silently followed her back.
I didn't spit out the first sip, so I took the second sip...
When she finished drinking from a bamboo tube, Yan Lan's eyes were full of tears. She was choking and felt uncomfortable. "When the Luo family is settled, I will go to Huangshaling to see my brother and bring him lots of delicious food."
"Okay." Wei Qingyan responded.
At night, everyone takes turns on duty.
After Yan Lan fell asleep leaning against the tree, Shi Yu sat next to Wei Qingyan, "Why didn't you tell her that Yan Qing was not in Huangshaling?"
"Let her take it easy." Wei Qingyan took a bite of the dry biscuit and chewed it carefully.
Wu Yuchu pursued Yan Qing to erase the traces that she had sent troops to Ganzhou, but when she didn't see Yan Qing's body, she asked Wu Xinyuan and others to evacuate.
It can be seen that he is sure that Yan Qing will not survive.
Who is the person behind him? In whose hands did Yan Qing die?
She has yet to find out these.
He didn't even know where Yan Qing's body was, so how could he bear to tell Yan Lan.
Yan Lan was already depressed, so at least let her wait for a few more days to digest what she was seeing.
"Miss Chang is going to find out who is behind Wu Yuchu, right?" Shi Yu handed her a water bag.
Wei Qingyan turned to look at him, "Your Majesty, don't you doubt why I know what happened three years ago?"
She was silent all the way because she didn't want to tell lies.
After killing Wu Xinyuan, she also killed several principals of the county government who were involved in the evil.
He cooperated all the way and never asked a question.
Wei Qingyan didn't believe that he wasn't curious.
"I believe in Du Xueyi." Shi Yu once again handed the water bag to Wei Qingyan and said in a soft voice, "What you do is harmless to me. We are not enemies. Others are not important, even to me. You should be thanked."
If he hadn't followed her to Yu County yesterday, how would he have known the truth back then.
There was a trace of self-blame on his calm face, "I didn't know about Yan Qing's troop deployment. I didn't... didn't find Yan Qing's body next to Xiao Yan, so I should have paid attention.
I was careless, Yan Qing is Xiao Yan's close guard..."
Even if he died, he would die next to Xiao Yan.
Wei Qingyan took the water bag in his hand, took a sip, and swallowed the dry cake in his mouth.
Of the 20,000 national defenders, 10,000 died when they set up an ambush in Beiling. When Shi Yu went there, their bodies were difficult to identify. The other 10,000 died in Huangshaling, mixed with the corpses of the Beiling army...
The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood were filled with broken arms and bodies.
Shi Yugui was a prince, so he didn't notice the body of a guard. It was normal and he couldn't blame him.
However, Shi Yu didn't suspect that there was anything fishy about Huangshaling?
She returned the water bag to Shi Yu, "When the prince arrived at the battlefield, did he notice anything strange?"
