Kneel down and beg to return to the field

The house Wei Lai bought in the capital was not that big, but it was just a courtyard with two entrances, which was naturally incomparable to the Shangshu Mansion with a deep courtyard.It's just such a small courtyard. Although the atmosphere was gloomy when He Zhi came last time, he was still somewhat angry. When he came here again this time, he only felt a dull and dead air.

The person who opened the door was Wang Hu. Since he came back with the black armored cavalry a few days ago, he ran to Wei's house without even returning to his own house. Aunt Wei has been ill these few days, thanks to the help of him and a few colleagues. take care of.Although he never said anything swearingly, on the way back, he was full of guilt and decided to take care of Aunt Wei as his own mother in the future.

Wang Hu followed Wei Lai to meet He Zhi once, but now when he saw him again, he saw that the person who was in full bloom at the beginning was only pale and haggard.The guilt in his heart was even worse, and when he led the people to Aunt Wei's room, he couldn't help persuading him: "Miss, take care of your health, the general will definitely not want to see you like this."

He Zhi had heard many things like this, so she didn't understand the truth, but sad things were beyond her control.So Wen Yan could only smile, thanking the other party for her kindness, but everyone could see how reluctantly she smiled.

The two yards are really not that big, and after a few steps around the screen wall, we arrived at Aunt Wei's house.

Like He Zhi's courtyard in Shangshu's Mansion, this courtyard is filled with the bitter smell of medicine, obviously the owner of the courtyard has been ill for a long time.

He Zhi's heart sank a little, and she hurried into Aunt Wei's room without thinking about it.Just looking at it, I couldn't hold back the tears I had endured for many days—the old man lying on the hospital bed had sunken eye sockets, and his hair was half gray. how much.

He Zhi was suddenly afraid that the person in front of her would leave just like that, she didn't even bother to wipe away her tears, so she hurried forward two steps.It wasn't until he got to the bed, reached out to hold those withered hands, and felt the warmth of those hands, that his heart dropped a little, but the tears fell even harder.

She was very scared, afraid that Mrs. Wei would not be able to bear the blow, so she went like this.This fear is not only because she promised Wei Lai to take care of her mother, but neglected her for so long, but also because of the guilt that has always existed in the deepest part of her heart.

He Zhi has always been intelligent.When Wei Lai confessed his identity to her back then, she already understood why the other party retreated in a hurry. Naturally, she also knew the reason for everything that happened before and after. At this moment, her plan turned into a huge rock weighing on her heart.

During those drowsy days, He Zhi wondered more than once: If Wei Lai hadn't met her, if she hadn't said "OK" to her father on Mid-Autumn Festival, would she have been able to escape? ?No one will stop her resignation memorial, and no one will push her to the battlefield again after she returns to her hometown. She can be disarmed as she wishes, and she will live a peaceful and stable life from then on...

These thoughts made her breathless for a time, until today, seeing Aunt Wei who was so ill was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He Zhi thought, maybe she really shouldn't provoke Wei Lai.

Wei Lai is her calamity, and she is also Wei Lai's calamity, or death calamity!

Although he never admitted it before, at this moment He Zhi still couldn't help thinking: Maybe he is the real Kefu, and he will never go out to harm others in the future, and let this be the case in this life.

Holding Aunt Wei's hand, He Zhi cried uncontrollably.

Sanhe City is really not close to the capital, and the war has just ended, and the rebellious King Anping escaped in the Sanhe War, and the investigations in various places have become extremely strict. Wei Lai has a seal in hand and official position. It's not easy to walk along the way.

Probably because King Anping has never been caught, the more he went to the capital, the stricter the interrogation became.When the carriage was stopped for interrogation again, the good-tempered little General Wei almost couldn't hold back his temper.

Knowing that the army had returned to the court, Wei Lai was actually a little anxious.Although it would save a lot of trouble not to go back with the black armored cavalry, but if she goes back too late, she is afraid that the news of her injury and disappearance will have to be sent back, causing her mother and Miss He to worry, which is not a good thing up.

I hurried all the way to calculate the time, but still sadly found that I couldn't keep up with the speed of the army, not to mention the delay of many inquiries.Wei Lai calculated with his fingers, and found that when he was walking halfway, the counter-insurgency army would probably be able to return to Beijing. When she hurried back, it would be at least ten days and a half months later!

At this time, Wei Lai didn't know that the news that she was injured and fell off the cliff had already grown wings and flew back to Beijing. Miss He and Aunt Wei were worried about the suffering, and it was not just ten and a half months.

This road became more and more anxious, especially after approaching the capital, Wei Lai found that even his own seal was not working well, and the daily checks were enough to cause headaches.At this time, Wei Lai also understood that he might not be able to enter Beijing in a short time with the letter that he sent out to report his safety, and he might have to walk behind her, so he became even more irritable.

"Who is in the carriage, get out of the carriage and check." The sergeant guarding the city gate yelled outside. The long-term check obviously made him a little anxious, and his tone was full of impatience.

Passing by a small town, he had to check it when he entered the city, and he had to check it again when he left the city. If he didn't take a long detour, Wei Lai really didn't want to go to the city!

But what can I do if I want to hurry?So he could only endure his temper patiently, got out of the car with a cane, and threw the seal that had never been collected to the officers and soldiers guarding the city-although the city is small, it is not too far from the capital, and the strict interrogation cannot be tolerated. She sat in the carriage, and Wei Lai obviously didn't want to stay here for too long.

Fortunately, the seal of the fourth-rank officer made people care. After checking the seal, the sergeant's attitude improved a lot. After calling a few people to check the carriage up and down, he quickly let them go.

Wei Lai climbed into the carriage again leaning on his crutches, and the coachman seemed to be used to it, driving the carriage silently and continuing on.

He had never realized that he had to pass through so many city passes on his way to Beijing before. Wei Lai really wanted to ask the coachman, how many cities and passes are there ahead?But it's useless to think about it, and finally give up.

The horse's hooves rattled, and the body shook from time to time. The jolting of a carriage with no shock absorption measures was no better than riding a horse. At least Wei Lai, who had been riding a horse for a long time, had been jolted to the bone in the past few days. It hurts.

Feeling uncomfortable all over, Wei Lai, who was still getting restless, leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and was just about to rest for a while, when he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind.And along with the horseshoe, there seemed to be someone shouting...

"General Wei, General Wei, stop the carriage in front..."
