Haofengyuan is the residence of Zheng Guogong and his wife.
After dinner, Duke Wei Qin of Zheng went to the garden for a walk. After February, his heart blossomed one after another. Recently, apart from eating and sleeping, he spent the rest of his time in the garden. inside.
So when Wei Shuyi came to Haofeng Courtyard, his mother Duan was the only one sitting in the hall.
Wei Miaoqing, who heard that his brother had returned home, followed him closely.
"...How is it? Is there any new news from Suining? Is Xu Zhengye really attacking Luoyang?"
Duan asked hurriedly: "I heard from my second uncle that at court this morning, the officials were all talking about Suining's memorandum? Bah, these people have their own agendas! Since I mentioned that I granted Suining the title of The general started to find faults everywhere! In my opinion, being in the capital was really a injustice to them. They really should be sent to Luoyang. Anyway, their mouths would block the rebel army's swords if they cut them off! Having said that, you can just let it go Did they take the opportunity to plot against General Sui Ning and Chang Da? Are you going to tear them apart...have you stopped their bad mouths?"
"..." Before Wei Shuyi had time to answer this series of questions, he only heard the waves coming after him——
"When it comes to Mrs. Chang's message, there are a lot of vitriolic words everywhere!" Wei Miaoqing said angrily: "That day, the eldest husband of the Wu family also said something in public in Dengtai Tower. Mrs. Chang's message read It's not orthodox enough, every word and every sentence is just arrogance. It's just a boast, it's obviously to enhance his reputation, but it's praised and circulated everywhere. It can be seen that the current atmosphere of the literary world is really worrying, which makes him extremely disappointed..."
He added: "He has also written an article, which is quite orthodox. It is so orthodox that it makes people hold their noses and cannot read it. As soon as the article is opened, the sour smell can spread out of the capital! If it is crumpled and thrown in, In the henhouse, the chickens will be so smoked that they will burst into tears and will no longer be able to lay eggs!"
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
He became anxious: "Then how can we get rid of the guilt?"
"There is only one possibility." Wei Shuyi said: "Unless she can kill Xu Zhengye with her own hands like what she said in her message."
"As soon as Xu Zhengye dies, the rebel army will be defeated. By then, not only will she have no fault, but she will have merit. Naturally, there will be no more accusations in the court."
When big words come true, they are not big words, but great achievements.
Wei Miaoqing frowned tightly: "... According to my brother, is it possible that Mrs. Chang can kill Xu Zhengye?"
"Based on the current known situation..." Wei Shuyi shook his head: "This is not possible."
Xu Zhengye had already passed Xuzhou, but she was still pursuing her from behind. It would be difficult to catch up, let alone cross thousands of troops to kill Xu Zhengye?
Xu Zhengye wouldn't give her this chance either.
Even Xu Jun did not need to conquer Luoyang, but only needed to conquer Bianzhou... Bianzhou would defend it to the death, and once there were tragic casualties, her crime would be determined.
"...How can this child be so careless? Why do he have to act like a hero and write such an essay, and give others the opportunity to make a fuss in vain!" Duan was worried: "It is said that Xu Zhengye was deceived by her essay. The appeal went to Luoyang, so it becomes her fault even if it is not her fault!"
Wei Shuyi thought without saying a word. Did she really have no expectations for the current situation?
"Then what should we do?" Wei Miaoqing was so anxious that she started gibbering: "...It's time to rain down a fire from the sky to stop Xu Zhengye and the others, so that Mrs. Chang can catch up and chop him with a sword!"
Wei Shuyi looked at her worriedly: "...How about you go and pray to the Buddha?"
Wei Miaoqing's expression perked up and she stood up immediately: "Yes... I'll burn incense right now!"
Seeing his sister leaving so solemnly, Wei Shuyi rubbed his temples.
If one day, his sister really becomes a princess, or even a princess, he really can't believe what a wonderful scene it will be.
If faced with competition for favor in the harem, she would probably choose between being mean and careless. Between being framed and being framed, choose to show up.
Faced with such a daughter, Duan was rarely silent for a moment.
Wei Shuyi signaled Changji to close the hall door.
Duan subconsciously looked at her son who suddenly became cautious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wei Shuyi speak in front of him: "It is not impossible for Mrs. Chang to kill Xu Zhengye."
"Just like no one believed before, she could actually kill Ge Zong and Li Yi with her own hands." Wei Shuyi said: "She can always do things that others think are impossible..."
"Mother, have you ever thought about why this is?"
Duan looked at him puzzled for a moment: "Everyone in the world knows this, is it because they are born generals and have extraordinary talents?"
"But from my son's point of view, the talent that can truly amaze the world should be glimpsed at a young age, rather than suddenly appearing one day sixteen years later." Wei Shuyi said.
Duan was startled.
Wei Shuyi said slowly: "I guess that the source of Mrs. Chang's "talent" may be that she has experienced things that ordinary people can't imagine. "
Duan was confused when she heard this: "What could that be?"
Wei Shuyi shook his head: "Ordinary people can't imagine that although my son is very human, he still couldn't come up with an answer for a while."
"..." Mrs. Duan frowned and thought for a moment: "Or...as mentioned in the slogan, the guidance of the savior immortal?"
This sounds very absurd, but at this moment, Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes slightly... Is he an immortal?
"My mother once read to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Chongyue, so I know the former Crown Prince quite well... In my mother's opinion, does Mrs. Chang look more like the eldest princess, or does she look more like the former Crown Prince?"
This question was so sudden that Duan's eyes trembled: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Wei Shuyi saw her reaction in his eyes: "I once heard that General A Dian say that Mrs. Chang is very much like the late Crown Prince, very similar."
Duan's breathing stopped for a moment, and many chaotic pictures began to appear in his mind.
In the past, those things that she automatically exclaimed and attributed to "fate", now
At this moment, he suddenly changed direction and rushed towards another exit.
"Did mother think of something?"
"I..." Mrs. Duan wanted to speak, but she couldn't explain in detail. After all, she couldn't expose His Highness's secrets, so she omitted all the clues and left only one incomparable saying: "Then if you say so... Could it be that he is possessed by the former Crown Prince?"
No wonder she made such assumptions, after all, she was a complete theist!
This absurd speculation that had been lingering in his mind made Wei Shuyi's breath stop for a moment.
Outsiders only say that he has no resemblance to his mother, but there is one thing that has made him exactly the same as his mother since he was a child, and that is his fear of ghosts.
The prerequisite for fear is faith.
I believe it is possible for such things to exist in this world.
Wei Shilang, who had always been as steady as an old dog even when Mount Tai collapsed, forced himself to calm down and asked, "Can mother tell me the basis for such a guess?"
He had just seen his mother, who rarely used her brain, showing that her brain was clearing up quickly.
Duan's expression was already a little flustered: "Mother knows some of His Royal Highness's old habits... When I thought about it just now, I felt that it fits very well!"
For example, was the box she dug out really just a dream from His Highness...or was His Highness right in front of her? !
This guess made Duan almost faint.
Wei Shuyi still wanted to seek proof: "What are the old habits? Mother, can you tell me more about them?"
Duan said categorically: "No!"
She was already so confused that she had to keep the secret secret for His Highness, but her disgusting son was still asking questions. Her mind was already on fire!
Faced with her son's confusion, after all, it was her own family, she simply said bluntly: "In short, just listen to me when I say it is appropriate, and don't ask anything else! There are some things I can't express to you clearly, so I just I have sworn not to leak any private matters involving my old friend!"
He said simply and rudely: "If you don't want your mother-in-law to be struck to death by lightning, you will have to attend the funeral tomorrow, so don't ask any more questions!"
"...?" Wei Shuyi rarely showed an expression as if he was being tortured.
Mrs. Duan no longer cared about his life and death, and began to walk up and down the hall holding the handkerchief: "How could it be like this? Is it true that there is such a thing as resurrecting a corpse...are those words in the book...actually true?"
Hearing the words "borrowing corpses to bring back souls", Wei Shuyi couldn't help but think of some of the words he heard when he interrogated the kidnapper couple in Hezhou.
——"It looked like it was dead... but suddenly it came back to life!"
——"Monster! It must be a monster!"
"..."
Those words that he heard indifferently at that time suddenly caused him to have a completely different state of mind and a cold sweat.
Wei Shuyi swallowed slowly, raised his sleeves, and slowly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After an unknown amount of time, the hall door was pushed open with a creak. Both mother and son were frightened, with pale faces, looking towards the door in horror.
Zheng Guogong, who was humming a little tune, walked in and was startled when he saw this: "...What's wrong?"
Duan: "You... why are you pushing the door open!"
Zheng Guogong looked innocent, this is his yard!
He did not refute, but chose to accept the situation and asked uneasily: "But what happened?"
Why do both my wife and my son, who has always been calm and collected, look like they have seen a ghost?
"No...nothing." Wei Shuyi stood up and saluted his father with force: "Father and mother had rested earlier, and my son resigned."
"this……"
When Zheng Guogong looked at his son who was walking away in vain, his heart rose in his throat. Even Zi Gu was like this, and he still said "nothing happened"?
"Madam..." Although he was shaking himself, he still supported the trembling Duan, helped her to the inner room, and asked in a trembling voice: "Madam, tell me the truth, is it your wife?" Gu, did he... commit any serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?"
Although he is an elegant person who can only appreciate flowers... okay, he admits that he is a loser, but a loser also has the right to know, right?
Duan, who was speechless, pushed him away, staggered towards the bed, buried her head between the soft pillows, and burst into tears.
Zheng Guogong froze on the spot, with only two words left in his mind - it's over.
…
Wei Shuyi, who was regarded by his father as having "committed the grave crime of confiscating his family and annihilating his clan", left Haofeng Courtyard and felt a coldness coming from behind him from time to time.
"You..." He looked at Changji beside him: "You walk behind me and keep an eye on me."
Changji glanced behind him subconsciously. What did Lang Jun ask him to look at?
He was about to ask, but his husband said cautiously: "Don't ask anything."
Nagayoshi: "...Yes."
Wei Shuyi walked a few steps and suddenly stopped when he passed a fork in the road.
After a while, he changed his route.
"...Brother?" In the Buddhist hall, Wei Miaoqing, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with great piety, was surprised when he saw someone coming: "Brother is also here to ask the Buddha to send down fire from heaven?"
"...No." Wei Shuyi said as calmly as possible, "I just suddenly wanted to burn incense."
Wei Miaoqing understood, blinked at him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you here to pray for Mrs. Chang's safety?"
Hearing those three words, Wei Shuyi was so excited that he almost dropped the incense in his hand.
Wei Miaoqing looked at him teasingly and said that she didn't like Mrs. Chang. She was obviously more nervous than anyone else.
With this in mind, Wei Miaoqing looked at her brother with a look that said, "Let's see how long you'll keep talking back."
For the first time, Wei Shuyi didn't care to feel the eyes of the people around him.
After lighting the incense and leaving the Buddhist hall, Wei Shuyi's mood calmed down a little.
Incense is really useful...
He so comforted himself.
So, looking as usual, he went back to the residence to bathe and change clothes. He also handled official duties for half an hour, and then returned to the bedroom, put on his clothes and lay down to rest.
I just told the boy: "No need to turn off the lights, I still have uses..."
He added: "Everyone is asked to take turns guarding the outer room and not to leave."
The boy didn't dare to ask more about the reason, but he became wary in his heart. After Lang Jun said this, could he have a premonition that there would be an assassin in the night?
The boy didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately went down to arrange the matter, and specially found the strongest nurse to guard him.
Wei Shuyi lay on the bed, tossing and turning until late at night. He finally closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly and sat up.
wrong……!
If she was resurrected by His Highness the former Crown Prince, then...
Of course, the possibility of such strange things happening is very rare. Zi Fu said that strange things can cause confusion. He just said, if, if, if it happens...
If it's true, then she... "she" contains the soul of a man? !
man!
He actually treated a man...?
Wei Shuyi sat stiffly for a long time, his expression changing as if he had been struck by lightning.
Immediately, he felt that he should not bear such a tragic and helpless feeling alone, so he pulled another person out - this matter... Cui Ling'an, does he know?
He even wanted to write a letter to Cui Ling'an immediately, the kind that was urgent at 800 miles!
…
The Chunwei exam is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days.
Before the end of spring, Cui Ling'an, who was far away in the Anbei Protectorate, did receive an urgent and secret letter from the capital.
To be precise, it's a secret message.
…
On the same day, Cui Jing secretly left the northern border, led his light cavalry, and rushed to Hedong Road, all the way south.
"Speaking of which... how did Governor Cui predict in advance that there would be a secret order for him to leave the northern border?" After Cui Jing left, Qin Governor asked the reporter in the office next to Cui Jing in confusion.
Governor Cui left suddenly, without a word of explanation.
But the recording office next to Governor Cui quickly came over, so Qin
Only then did the Protector find out that Governor Cui had already made arrangements for his affairs after leaving the Northern Territory in every detail, and he just asked the reporter's office to relay the arrangements.
The reporter also shook his head.
Yes, how did the Governor predict the future?
Is it possible to predict the location of the Holy Will even though we are thousands of miles away? Or... have you already made preparations to help the girl from the Chang family?
…
However, Cui Jing had only been away for five days when one of his companions, a light cavalryman, was injured and turned back. With great difficulty, he fell off his horse when he returned to the Anbei Protectorate.
After hearing the news, the Protector of Qin arrived quickly and saw the light cavalryman being helped into the mansion in the front yard.
When Qin Duhu saw this, his face tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support the light cavalry.
"Qin Duhu..." The cavalryman was seriously injured. When he saw Qin Duhu, he finally spoke with difficulty, "We... encountered an ambush."
Protector Qin's expression changed drastically: "How could it be...that Governor Cui would now..."
"Grand Governor, something happened..."
After the cavalry said this, he completely passed out.
Qin Duhu's face turned pale and his body became stiff for a moment.
Something big is going to happen now!
…
