Chapter 71 Borrowing troops
Xue Zhen saw that Fang Chen had gone far away before turning back to the house. It was cold outside, but the bedroom was very warm. When he stepped in, he felt that his face and hands were hot, and Shen Xuanji didn't know when he had got up and was dressing up in front of the mirror.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Xue Zhen untied the big mangan, handed it to Mother Hua, and came up to take the horn comb in Lan Qing's hand.
Shen Xuanji just got up, and his long hair was like a black waterfall, almost hanging to the ground. She was about to reach out to stop her, but she suddenly remembered that on the night she and Xue Zhen got married, Xue Zhen also dried her hair so gently, so she stopped and smiled softly at Xue Zhen in the mirror.
Xue Zhen also smiled at her. When Mother Lanqing and others saw that they seemed to have something to say, they didn't hang around the room, and they all went out to do their own work.
"I know you're not happy." Shen Xuanji felt that the rhinoceros horn comb was slightly cool and slipped over his scalp. Xue Zhen was well mastered and would not make her feel pain.
She looked at Xue Zhen in the mirror and saw his eyebrows drooping. He was still as handsome as ever, but he also faintly showed a little warmth like jade.
Although it was less than six years since she first saw him, these days, like water, slowly and silently left marks on him and her. Nowadays, Xue Zhen is no longer the idle prince who smiles in the long corridor in the palace. He has enthusiasm and responsibility on his shoulders. Even if he can't solve his problems, at least he can't add additional burden to him. Shen Xuanji knows all these truths, but...
It's just that sometimes there is always a gap between people's reason and emotions.
She couldn't forget the humiliation of being given a cane. Before that, she had always thought that although the emperor did not like her, she took care of the lofty of heaven. After that, she knew how ridiculous and naive she was. In the palace, there is no affection, let alone face.
She couldn't forget the heat of the blood splashing on her face, nor could she forget the hatred that filled her chest at that time. She wanted to revenge and see with her own eyes how the person on the dragon chair and the smiling woman behind him would die in the end.
She can't forget the coldest winter, a bleak and ice everywhere. Her grandmother, uncle and cousin, who have always favored her, have been humiliated. To this day, the third cousin Wei Bing is still waiting for an unknown tomorrow in prison.
And the originator of all this now only wants to recall her husband with a light secret decree, just as his shield.
Does he think everything is so simple? Just like a light edict at that time, he sent her and Xue Zhen to Qiyi. From beginning to end, how could he ever think about one point for them?
From beginning to end, he did it for himself!
The more Shen Xuanji thought about it, the worse his face became. When he was about to say something, he looked in the mirror and saw Xue Zhen holding her long hair in his hand, which also looked thoughtful.
He has been so magnificent that even Shen Xuanji almost forgot that he still had such a hesitant and soft side. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and half of his face was immersed in the morning light, shining with melting light. His eyelashes were very long, casting a shadow on his nose, and his lips opened slightly. He seemed to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Shen Xuanji turned his face and looked at him, and saw the warm light in his eyes. Seeing her looking at him, he smiled again.
In his heart, it should also be difficult to choose, right? On the one hand, it is the country in his dream, and on the other hand, it is the woman he wants to spend this life with, and he can't let go of any of them.
Shen Xuanji suddenly felt a little selfish. She turned around and put her hand around Xue Zhen's waist. Because her stomach was round, her arms had to be stretched out long, and she was a little naive.
Xue Zhen was stunned, and then leaned down and kissed Shen Xuanji's hair.
The two had no superfluous words, but made a decision between the rhinoceros.
Since you have married him, whether the road ahead is rough or tranquil, follow him and don't look back...
However, in Qiongjiang City, because of Xiang Yuan's death, his family was sold. Only Shen Coral took out the name of "Princess Anzhen" of Weixi and Cai Yin escaped the disaster. However, since Xiang's family was copied, although she avoided the fate of being sold as a slave or a prostitute, it is impossible to live in Xiang's house again.
The soldiers who came to raid the house were like wolves and tigers. It was impossible for Shen Coral to clean up a few bodies, but he and Cai Yin were pushed out of the house. She staggered outside the gate and saw several soldiers putting their hair on the car. They fainted. At this time, they didn't seem to wake up, their feet hanging on the ground and their heads were invisible.
Shen Coral looked at her embarrassed appearance, and the past came to her mind like a dream. How did Xiang's aunt move her, how she turned against her relatives in order to Xiang Yuan, how Xiang Yuan insulted and scolded her after marriage, and how she was frustrated... One by one, it was in her mind frame by frame Turn it over.
That's it. She wiped her tears and never looked at her aunt again. She turned around to help Cai Yin, who was pushed to the ground and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
The word "go" is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do. By this time, it was already evening, and the sky was getting dark, the pedestrians on the street were getting thinner and thinner, and every family was smoking. Cai Yin followed her side and looked at her eagerly. Anyway, we have to deal with tonight first, and then find a way to survive tomorrow. Shen Coral thought and reached out to touch his head. Unfortunately, she has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha these days. She is simple and has only a few blue glazed hairpins on her head, which are worthless.
She touched her earlobe and wrist again, which were empty. I don't know when the red treasure ring she used to wear on her finger was torn off. She gritted her teeth and reached for her neck.
It is a coral pendant, which was sent by Shen Xuanji when she was born last year. It was also a tribute from a small country in the south, but Shen Xuanji found a craftsman to carve it into a little rabbit, which is her zodiac.
The coral was bright and ruddy. At first sight, she knew that it was not extraordinary. At first sight, she couldn't put it down and would never leave.
But now, the Wei family is difficult to protect herself. She can't come to involve them in this matter. Even if the people of the Wei family don't hate her, she doesn't have that face.
Only by herself, Shen Coral untied the pendant, took Cai Yin's hand, and walked towards the pawnshop, hoping that it would not be closed.
She lowered her head and walked quickly, very much not to listen to the comments of the onlookers, but those words came into her ears, and she could only grit her teeth and lead Caiyin to go faster and faster. The two of them walked straight out of the street and came to another street before exhaling.
Shen Coral looked up and saw a banner with the word "dang" hanging not far away. She was overjoyed and said to Caiyin, "Look, that shop hasn't closed yet. Let's buy you noodles, okay?"
Although Caiyin was confused, she knew that the coral rabbit was her favorite thing, so she shook her head.
Shen Coral's heart moved, and tears gushed out. Regardless of his identity, he hugged Caiyin and cried on the street at dusk...
When Fang Chen returned to the "Wei Army" camp, regardless of the wind and dust all the way, he came to the tent to see Wei Jia.
Because Wei Ye's whereabouts are not clear, Wei Jia is in charge of the military affairs of the "Wei Family Army" on her behalf. She was a director in the commander's camp during the day and returned to a small tent next to rest in the evening. When Fang Chen came in, she was writing a letter. Hearing him come in, she raised her face and nodded slightly. "General Fang, thank you for your hard work."
She is not wearing armor, but only wears a snow-blue regular dress. Although it is a women's dress, it is a short dress with the cuffs and legs tied up and legs, which is very different from the dress of ordinary women's wide-sleeved long skirts. Only the front is embroidered with a few cold plums of the same color, which is slightly soft.
Fang Chen said a few polite words, then sat aside and looked at her eagerly.
Wei Jia saw it, smiled secretly, and deliberately didn't go to see him. And beside her stood a teenager in uniform, who looked like 14 or 15 years old, but he smiled in a low voice.
He was very beautiful. With such a smile, he became more and more beautiful, and the whole tent lit up.
Wei Jia glanced at him and finally looked at Fang Chen, "General Fang, please tell me if you have something to say. Yelai is not an outsider."
Fang Chen was seen through by her and scratched his head with some embarrassment. He still looked solemnly and arched his hand to Wei Jia, "This time, the last general is a word for the ninth prince..."
He was originally a martial artist and was not good at words. Based on his memory, he repeated Xue Zhen's words. After saying that, he looked up at Wei Jia and saw her frown slightly with her forehead.
"I have heard many rumors in the court. I also thought of the method of the ninth prince, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp." She stood up after the case, "Although Princess Jiu and I are cousins, we are only friends in those years. We only look at General Fang's style and know that Uncle Shen is very good at governing the army." She turned her eyes to the distance and seemed to remember something, "My mother died early. When I was a child, I relied on my aunt to raise me more at home. It was really the same affection as my biological mother."
When Fang Chen heard her mention Shen Mingyuan and his wife, he was also heartbroken and couldn't help echoing, "Mrs Shen is loyal and Gao Hua, and she can set an example for women."
Wei Jia nodded, "It is reasonable that I hold military power on behalf of my father, and should not be biased, but as today's people are panicked, if it is..." She closed her mouth vigilantly, stopped and said, "It's better to sit and wait for death... In fact, this is not just for the ninth princes and the princess, but more for' Wei Jiajun's future..."
Her voice was getting lower and lower, but Fang Chen knew that she was willing. He was happy and was about to open his mouth when he suddenly saw a deputy general outside and couldn't help running in. "Big girl! Outside, outside..."
Wei Jia's delicate eyebrows, "What's the style of such a panic? What's the matter?"
"The people of North and North Jin sent the coffin of the commander!"
