After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

Wei Qing carried his two nephews into the hall. His eldest sister-in-law, Yang, quickly said to the two children, "Come down quickly and stop making trouble for your uncle."

After putting the two children down, Wei Qing greeted his parents, brother and sister-in-law one by one.

Wei Qing's elder brother, Wei Lang, was also a military commander and a lieutenant general in the imperial army stationed in the capital. When he saw Wei Qing, he simply called out, "Second brother," and then his expression became heavy, and he said nothing more.

Duke Dingguo said to his wife, Madam Xu, "The three of us need to discuss something. You should go down first."

When Yang heard this, she quickly picked up a child in each hand and followed her mother-in-law out.

Duke Dingguo waved his hand for the Wei Lang brothers to sit down, then looked at Wei Qing and asked, "Have you heard about Pei Shaofeng's situation?"

Wei Qing nodded: "I heard about it in the palace just now."

******

Pei Shaofeng is one of Wei Qing's few friends in the capital. The two are of similar age. When they were young, they often practiced martial arts together and got along like brothers.

Pei Shaofeng comes from a family of military generals. His father, General Pei Kang, has been leading the Pei family army to garrison southern Xinjiang.

When he was young, Pei Shaofeng lived with his mother in the capital. When he was fourteen years old, his mother died of illness, and Pei Kang took Pei Shaofeng to southern Xinjiang.

Although Pei Shaofeng is young, he is very skilled in martial arts. Following his father, he has developed a set of practical skills.

Over the years, the father and son guarded the southern border and led the Pei family army, fighting bravely and repelling the attacks of the Southern Yi barbarians time and time again. As a result, Pei Shaofeng was promoted to a third-rank general at a young age.

Pei Kang never remarried after his wife passed away. As a military general, although he loved his only son very much, he was ultimately a grown man and was not very thoughtful.

Pei Shaofeng, however, was in the military camp, where he spent his days training his troops and studying military tactics. After all, he faced the vicious and cruel Southern Yi barbarians every day, forcing him to stay on his toes.

In this way, day after day, Pei Shaofeng was already in his twenties, but still had not married.

In recent years, the Nanyi barbarians have become more ambitious and have been trying to expand their territory towards Daqing. However, at the gate of southern Xinjiang, they have been repeatedly defeated by the Pei family army led by Pei Kang and his son Pei Shaofeng, and have been unable to expand forward at all.

The leader of the Nanyi army was Kuban, the son of the Nanyi leader Wudun. Because he was repeatedly defeated by the Pei family army led by Pei Shaofeng, he hated Pei Shaofeng with a vengeance.

Cuban was a treacherous and cunning man. In their most recent encounter, Cuban feigned injury and fled. Pei Shaofeng, unaware of the ruse, pursued him on horseback. Just as he was about to catch up, Cuban turned and threw a packet of poison powder into Pei Shaofeng's eyes.

Pei Shaofeng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes, darkness in front of him, and fell off his horse.

The Nanyi soldiers who had been lying in ambush here rushed forward and pinned Pei Shaofeng to the ground. The extremely cruel Kuban came up and immediately cut the tendons of Pei Shaofeng's feet with a knife. Pei Shaofeng fainted from the pain.

Just as Cuban was about to take Pei Shaofeng away, Pei's army troops were already shouting and rushing over. Cuban had no choice but to abandon Pei Shaofeng and lead his men to flee in panic.

When the Pei family soldiers arrived, they were filled with grief and anger when they saw Pei Shaofeng's miserable condition. General Pei Kang even nearly fainted.

That night, led by two deputy generals, the extremely angry Pei family army massacred the camp of the Nanyi barbarians and killed more than 30,000 enemy soldiers. Unfortunately, Kuban escaped under the protection of a group of personal soldiers and was not caught.

When Pei Shaofeng woke up and found out that he was blind and disabled, he was completely desperate and wanted to die. However, he couldn't see or walk, so he couldn't even wish for death.

When Emperor Qingyuan learned about Pei Shaofeng's injury in the capital, he was also very sad. He asked Pei Kang to send Pei Shaofeng back to the capital and prepared to let the palace physician take another look to see if there was any way to treat him.

Seeing that his son had become disabled and the conditions in the barracks were really limited, Pei Kang had no choice but to decide to send his son back to the Pei Mansion in the capital to recuperate.

"I hope the imperial physician in the palace can find a way to cure General Pei's eyes," Duke Dingguo said at this time.

Wei Lang and Wei Qing nodded in unison. With their hamstrings severed, their legs were doomed. Now they could only hope the imperial physician could find a way to heal their eyes.

"General Pei will be back in a couple of days. There's no one in charge of his house, so you should visit him often and help him solve any problems," Duke Dingguo said to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Yes, son, I understand."

As the father and his two sons were talking, the maidservant beside the old lady came in and said that the old lady wanted Wei Qing to come over.

A smile finally broke out on Wei Lang's face. He said, "Grandmother has been nagging me many times, saying that if you don't come back, she'll ask me to go to the Imperial Guards and bring you back. You're back today, so I don't have to run an errand."

As soon as Wei Qing stepped into the old lady's courtyard in the back garden, he heard his grandmother's voice coming from inside the house: "Why hasn't my dear grandson come yet? Go out and check on him for me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing hurried a few steps, entered the house, knelt down and said, "Grandma!"

The old lady loved her little grandson the most. When Wei Qing was born, he was as delicate and cute as the dolls in New Year pictures, and the old lady loved him very much.

Later, it was discovered that the grandson had a headache, which made the old lady very distressed. She burned incense and prayed to Buddha all day long, hoping that the gods would bless her little grandson and help him recover from the illness as soon as possible and live in peace.

At this moment, the old lady waved to Wei Qing repeatedly and said, "My dear grandson, come here and let your grandmother see you."

Wei Qing stood up, walked a few steps to the old lady, and knelt down again.

The old lady touched Wei Qing's face with both hands and said, "Look, you've lost weight again. Tell me, how can you live without someone who understands your feelings?"

Wei Qing's scalp tingled, knowing it was about to begin again. Sure enough, he heard the old lady say, "My dear grandson, when will you bring me a granddaughter-in-law? I won't be able to close my eyes until I see you get married."

The old lady began to wipe away her tears as she spoke. Nanny Liu, who was serving her, quickly advised her, "Don't worry, old lady. Second Young Master, it won't be long before we bring you a grandson's wife that will satisfy you."

Wei Qing knelt on the ground, feeling helpless. Every time he came to see his grandmother, she would keep saying these words, which made him afraid to come to her now.

"Uncle, uncle!" Wei Yizhao and Wei Yizhong ran in, panting. They first greeted the old lady, and then one of them took Wei Qing's hand and said, "Uncle, come play with us for a while!"

Wei Qing was having a headache because of what the old lady said. When he heard it, he quickly said, "Okay." After saying goodbye to the old lady, he took his two children and left in a hurry.

Looking at Wei Qing holding the child's hand, the old lady took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her tears. Aunt Liu knew the old lady's worries and advised: "Old lady, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I think the second young master must be a blessed one. Don't worry, old lady."
