Chapter 23 Visit

It has been ten and a half months since the grain and grass issue in Xingchuan this time, Emperor Wei Ren entrusted Zhu Yu with a letter, saying that the matter was over and he was asked to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.It happened that Wei Yao was going to Jiazhou to condolence to the border guards at Xuanyu Pass, Zhu Yuzheng wanted to go with him, but it was only a matter of two or three days. It was his childhood vision to see the border of Wei's country, and now the opportunity is rare Naturally, I couldn't miss it, so I replied and delayed for a few more days.

The food, clothing and shelter of the border soldiers were not very good. Wei Yao was going to buy some food, clothes and other things one day in advance.

The sun shines through the paper windows and shines warmly in the room.Ning Qing curled up under the quilt, leaving only half of her face outside. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, and her face was still slightly flushed.

Wei Yao was used to getting up early, and after cleaning his face and dressing, he sat on the chair and waited for a long time. The tea in the pot had already run out, but the people on the couch still had no intention of getting up.Originally, he didn't want to be with Ning Qing, because Fei Tian was used to messing with people, he was talking nonsense, and he insisted on them being together, Zhao Min, who was "not strong in the army", actually followed suit, Zhu Yuhe Tian Cheng is more peaceful, but pretends to be deaf and blind, and is happy to watch the theater.

Ning Qing finally moved, but turned around and continued to sleep wrapped in a quilt.Wei Yao was already impatient with waiting, and seeing this made him even more furious, he went directly to the side of the couch, stretched out his hand and lifted it, only to see the quilt flying up into the air, spinning around, and falling straight to the ground.

"Huh?" Ning Qing felt a little cold in his sleep, and couldn't find the quilt anywhere, and finally opened a slit.When Fang opened his eyes, he saw Wei Yao staring at him unkindly, and the quilt that he used to cover his body was already lying on the ground pitifully.As soon as he thought about it, he knew it was bad. Before going to bed last night, he swore that he would get up early today. It must be too early to see the sun now, but he is such a clever person. He put his arms to protect himself, and said in horror: " Although we are married, what are you going to do in broad daylight!"

Yo, still beat back?

Wei Yao laughed back angrily: "If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I don't mind sacrificing myself to do what you want. Hurry up and wash up."

Ning Qing knew he was in the wrong, so he pursed his lips embarrassingly, and immediately got up to prepare.

After breakfast, the market was bustling, and Ning Qing was carrying a bunch of miscellaneous things in his hands before he finished walking a street.Wei Yao stared at him suspiciously: "Didn't you come to help with the purchase? Are you sure you still have spare time? Could it be that you have six arms?"

Hearing this, Ning Qing seemed to hear something ridiculous, dismissively said: "You look down on people too much, isn't it just a thing, I'll get it for you!"

But after a while, Ning Qing's rhetoric was smashed to pieces by Wei Yao's actions.When the man went to the store, he ordered a few boxes of things to look at, and finally saw a dozen boxes stacked neatly on the ground, which were taller than people.Ning Qing looked pale, and pointed at those boxes in disbelief: "Zhao Zhuo, I really can't carry these things back with six arms, right?"

Wei Yao laughed and said, "Who was talking nonsense just now?"

"It's me!" Ning Qing decisively pulled Wei Yao's arm as a hero who knew the current affairs, "Look at my thin body, I shouldn't be so cold-blooded and ruthless, right?"

The proprietress and the clerk in the nearby shop were staring at them with great interest, as if they saw something novel, and their eyes as big as copper bells were shining with the light of testing the truth.

Wei Yao couldn't help but shake off him and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about it."

"Oh..." Ning Qing understood.

Just at this time, Zhao Min and Tian Cheng came to the shop with a carriage: "My lord!"

After the two of them greeted each other, they worked together to load the box onto the carriage. Ning Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and entrusted them to bring the things in his hands back to the inn when they were not prepared.

Before leaving, Fei Tian went to see Aunt Sun.After Lin Ruode was escorted to Beijing, the Xuanji Grain Shop closed and changed hands. Wang Er did such immoral things for Lin Ruode, and was imprisoned after the incident was revealed.He brought the blame on himself, that is, poor Aunt Sun was implicated innocently, because of this, some unreasonable neighbors ridiculed him a lot.

Fei Tian hesitated in front of the door, but the door suddenly opened, and Aunt Sun said in surprise, "Why are you here? Come in quickly, what are you doing at the door."

Aunt Sun enthusiastically took care of him to drink water and eat snacks, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Who can't see him like this, Aunt Sun smiled, just like she did back then: "I know you feel guilty, it's okay, son. Wang Er did such an outrageous thing, he deserved what happened to him, how could Aunt Sun will blame you."

Fei Tian finally felt relieved, and only after he relaxed did he realize that everything in the room was neatly arranged, which looked a bit awkward.He asked, "Aunt Sun, what are you..."

"Oh, now I have nothing to do when I stay at home alone, and Xiao Zhuanger also asked me to accompany him to study. I have packed up my things and will leave tomorrow." Aunt Sun smiled, "I also hope I can see you again before I leave, fortunately my wish has been fulfilled."

In the past, Aunt Sun was restrained by Wang Er and cared about her son all the time, but now she can finally enjoy family happiness with her son.

"What a coincidence, I'm leaving Xuanzhou tomorrow, and I'm here to bid farewell to you today. I wish you a safe and smooth future, and I hope Xiaozhuang'er can go to high school."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Sun said happily.

"I put away everything today, so Aunt Sun will make pancakes for you again."

"Thank you, Aunt Sun."

Seeing Aunt Sun walking slowly into the kitchen, Fei Tian looked bewildered.When I was young, I was able to leave freely for my own survival, but after a few years, I couldn't be free and easy.

When Aunt Sun came out with the plate, Fei Tian was no longer in the room, and the door outside was also closed.There was a package of things on the table, she put down the plate, opened it to see, it was a few ingots of silver.

Aunt Sun only felt a sore nose, and said with a smile: "This child."

-

The next day, everyone drove to Jiazhou with three full cars.

This time they went to Xuanyuguan station, where there are few people and the road is bumpy. Walking on the road, you can clearly feel that there are fewer and fewer people, and the place is getting deserted.Even so, it can't stop the beautiful scenery and majestic mountains.

Knowing that they were coming, Cao Xu went down to the foot of the mountain to greet them. After entering the mountain, he found that the weather was a bit muggy and there were more mosquitoes than usual. Fei Tian killed two of them within five steps.

Zhu Yudao: "General Cao said earlier that there are many mosquitoes in Xuanyu Pass this year, I didn't pay attention to it, but today it seems to be true."

Cao Xu smiled nonchalantly: "It's like this in the woods. It's hot early this year, so there are more people in this season than usual. We people have rough skin and thick flesh, so it doesn't matter if we feed mosquitoes."

When the border guards saw the three carts of luggage, the scene was like a hungry wolf seeing meat. Cao Xu suppressed him for a few words before holding back his ready-to-move hands and feet, but his mood was still happy, and his eyes never left those things.

Cao Xu couldn't help it, and apologized: "I'm sorry, they are all people who have never seen the world."

Wei Yao smiled: "It must be that they haven't eaten anything new for some time, don't restrict people, just let them go."

When Wei Yao said so, Cao Xu said loudly: "Brothers, take something to make a fire and cook, and move quickly!"

"Yes!" The soldiers cheered in unison.

When soldiers are away, the food and accommodation conditions are naturally not as good as those at home, but those who have been away all the year round have already regarded it as normal, and they don't think it is anything.Wei Yao used to eat the last meal in northern Xinjiang and forget the next one. There were days when he saw cattle and sheep on the wine table, and it was normal to chew grass with soldiers before the food and grass arrived.The soldiers defended their homes and defended the country with their blood and blood. When they came to see them, the gold and silver rewards were not as good as bringing more clothes and food.

Dozens of people gather around a cluster of campfires, and it is quite interesting to eat together.After dinner, a pair of soldiers were about to go to the Beacon Tower to change guards. Zhu Yu finally waited for the opportunity and went with Ning Qing and Fei Tian. .

Cao Xu wanted to ask him something a long time ago, but he was in a hurry a few days ago and didn't have time to wait. Today he finally had a chance and said directly: "General, I heard that you married a wife earlier. Is the general iron tree blooming?"

Zhao Min couldn't hold back his laughter, Tian Cheng suppressed his smile and gave him a worried look.

"I said, Brother Cao, you are too uninformed. How come you only know that the general is married, but you don't know that the object is a man?"

"Ah?" Cao Xu didn't think well, but he also found it strange. He never felt that the general had such a preference before. "General, do you like men? Why, why don't we know?"

Wei Yao put down the teacup that Cao Xu finally found out by rummaging through boxes and cabinets, raised his eyes and asked, "So what if you know, have an idea?"

"No, no, no." Cao Xu hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy, and said with a dry smile, "Just like you, the King of Hades, you can't agree even if you like men."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing." Cao Xu hurriedly changed the subject, "It's a pity that I am far away in Jiazhou, and the general can't go to ask for a wedding drink when he gets married. I haven't seen the face of the respected wife. I don't know which young master he is marrying?"

Zhao Min said: "Young Master of Ning Xiang's family, haven't you seen him, you followed us just now."

"What?" Cao Xu couldn't believe it, "You mean out of the three people just now? Which one?"

Wei Yao said lightly, "The one with the best looks."

Cao Xu thought about it hard, and it turned out to be that one!When he had a rough meeting last time, he felt that this person was different, and he was right.

"Yes, she looks pretty." Cao Xu agreed.

Zhu Yu and the others admired the scenery of the frontier and were intoxicated by it. They returned to the station when it was dark. Ning Qing was still talking with Zhu Yu about what he had just seen when he bumped into a person. He took a closer look and said with a smile: "So it is General Cao, what's the matter?"

Cao Xu smiled kindly: "It's nothing, it's just that I just found out that this is Mrs. Sister-in-law, so I'm here to say hello."

who?Mrs. sister-in-law?him?

Ning Qing snorted coldly: "General Cao looks young, so that's... oh, what a pity, what a pity."

After Ning Qing finished speaking, he left. Zhu Yu and Fei Tian patted him on the shoulder, shook their heads and left without saying a word, leaving him alone in the fog.

It wasn't until dinner time that Ning Qing took away the chicken legs he wanted to pinch several times, obviously he couldn't finish it himself, and would rather share it with others than give it to him. Sex, hurry to ask Zhao Min for advice.Zhao Min was shocked when he heard the words, and then laughed out loud. After laughing, he told him the way. Cao Xu suddenly realized and regretted it.

In the morning of the next day, everyone packed up their luggage and said goodbye after breakfast.Cao Xu's face was gloomy, and he was stuck in yesterday's incident. One of his guards came to report in a panic: "General, it's not good! I just found out that several soldiers didn't come to eat. When my subordinates went to check, they found that they all had fever. Now It burned so badly that everyone was confused!"
