Hello Chang'an Chapter 426

"Lang Jun, why don't you go and say thank you to Mrs. Chang?" Changji seemed puzzled, but in reality he was urging him - while Governor Cui was away, Lang Jun should hurry up and express his gratitude!

"...There's no rush." Wei Shuyi, who was standing next to the carriage, quietly clenched the peace charm in his hand as he spoke, and said, "Wait a moment."

Before he could wait too long, Chang Suining came over accompanied by Tan Li.

Tan Li looked around as he walked. When he saw him, he immediately waved and shouted, "Shilang Wei!"

Wei Shuyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath before daring to look away.

Looking at the person walking towards him, clutching the peace charm in his hand, Wei Shuyi felt a struggle in his heart.

At this moment, he had a very contradictory feeling. He was afraid that this peace charm to ward off evil would not work, but he was also afraid that it would be too effective and might hurt her.

Weighing the two, he seemed to be more afraid of the latter.

Wei Shuyi sighed silently in his heart, let go of his hand as if resigned to his fate, and let the peace talisman fall from his hand.

After bringing Chang Suining to him, Tan Li saw that a classmate was injured and hurried forward to ask for help.

Changji stepped back about ten steps in acknowledgment, found Yuanxiang's location with sharp eyes, stood with his arms folded, and conveyed a proud look in time.

Chang Suining glanced at Xuance's army who was finishing up, and said, "It seems that Wei Shilang didn't gamble this time, but he just had bad luck."

Xuance's army will appear here, and Chang Ji will lead the way, which shows that Wei Shuyi asked Cui Jing for help in advance.

In order to wait for reinforcements to arrive, he could even stay here and wait instead of rushing on the road, which shows that he is cautious and responsible.

But who would have thought that Kang Dingshan's men would block the place directly.

Hearing the hint of praise in her words, Wei Shuyi gave a slightly stiff and bitter smile: "Yeah, I'm not very lucky."

After a moment, he added: "Fortunately, Governor Chang arrived in time and saved us from the disaster."

"But..." he tried to ask: "How did Chang Governor know that Wei and others were here?"

He couldn't even help but wonder, did "she" have any... omniscience? The ghosts and gods in storybooks always have many differences from ordinary people...

"Is it difficult to guess?" Chang Suining said nonchalantly: "Based on Wei Shilang's behavior, it is not difficult to guess that Wei Shilang will choose to take the water route."

That's it...

Wei Shuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile that he thought was the same as usual: "I really understand, Governor Chang."

But if it were normal, he would probably change this sentence to "The person who knows me is always a lady."

In comparison, the current attitude is more of a silent "keep yourself content".

Chang Suining glanced at his **** fox fur and said, "Shilang Wei's face doesn't look good. Is he injured?"

"It's just some skin injuries at most!" Wei Shuyi said with a dry smile: "It's just that it's too cold here..."

Chang Sui Ning also smiled slightly at him: "Don't be careless about skin injuries. Minister Wei should go back to the car first and let the doctor take a look at the injury."

"That's fine." Wei Shuyi felt as if he was being pardoned.

Seeing him leave after giving a salute, Chang Suining's eyes fell on where he was standing just now. He saw a red and yellow talisman half buried in the snow. He couldn't help but feel two points of understanding, three points of not being able to compliment, and five points. Want to make fun of.

After Wei Shuyi got on the carriage, he took a clean cotton towel and wiped the cold sweat from his hands.

When the accompanying doctors got into the car, they saw Wei Shilang sitting cross-legged in the car and lighting incense devoutly.

Yes, Wei Shuyi's car is also equipped with an incense burner.

The doctor was a little surprised. Wei Shilang had just experienced the shock of life and death, but the next moment he could sit down and burn incense... Ya, Ya!

After being admired by Yade, the doctor knelt down and bowed to Wei Shuyi in an extremely dignified manner, paying great attention to his manners.

Since ancient times, incense has been considered to have the effect of healing the body and mind, and even communicating with the gods of heaven and earth.

Wei Shuyi smelled the fragrance in the car, and just now he felt much more at ease.

When the doctor looked at his injuries, he looked at the back of the girl not far away through the gap in the car curtain, and his emotions were up and down beyond words.

The situation was completely under control. Except for a small number of rebels who fled, under the suppression of Chang Sui Ning's men and Xuance's army, all the remaining 300 rebels were killed.

Many officials were so frightened that they hid in their cars and shivered.

The Forbidden Army also suffered many casualties. Not to mention the hundreds of injured, thirty-seven people were seriously injured and died.

And because the commander of the Forbidden Army commanded relatively well and did not lose his position in the most critical moment, most of the officials under the protection of the Forbidden Army were only slightly injured or frightened. The most serious ones were that one of the two fell. One arm suffered a stab wound, but his life is not yet in danger.

He Wuhu and others gathered the bodies of the thirty-seven Forbidden Army soldiers together, had their waistbands removed, and handed them over to the commander of the Forbidden Army who was also seriously injured.

The medicine for wounds prepared by the medical officer was not enough, so Chang Suining asked shepherd's purse to take out the medicine for wounds prepared by them, send it over, and help bandage it.

Not long after, the bandaged commander of the forbidden army limped in front of Chang Suining and knelt down to salute.

Chang Suining hurriedly raised her hand to support him. At this moment, she saw the other person's appearance clearly and was very surprised: "Master Lu?"

"That's right! I didn't expect to see Governor Chang here today, and the Governor had to step in to rescue me!" The man who was helped upright by Chang Suining could only clasp his fists heavily: "Lu Chong is very grateful!"

Chang Suining came to his senses and said, "It turns out that Mr. Lu went to serve in the Imperial Guards."

As early as when Chang Sui Ning had not left Beijing, he had met Lu Chong.

This started when Chang Suining set up a trap to save her brother. At that time, she found many families who had been harmed by Ming Jin, and Lu Chong was one of them.

Lu Chong's daughter was murdered by Ming Jin. He sought justice for his daughter, but was dismissed from his position and could only make a living in the **** agency.

Afterwards, Ming Jin was convicted and executed, and Lu Chong was reactivated.

When he was first established, he could only hold a seventh-grade military position. Over the past year or so, the emperor had been cleaning up various places, resulting in frequent transfers of official positions in the capital and many vacancies. Lu Chong had outstanding abilities and was recommended by his former colleagues and friends. Entered the Forbidden Army.

The imperial army in the capital was divided into sixteen guards, who were not subordinate to each other. The one Lu Chong was transferred to was the Zuotun Guard among the sixteen guards.

For more than half a year, he performed very well and was promoted from the sixth rank to the lower fourth rank, and now he is appointed as the Zhonglang General of Zuotunwei.

Chang Suining listened and said with a smile: "Now I should change my name to General Lu."

Lu Chong looked grateful: "I can be re-appointed because of the kindness of Chang Jishi in the past."

If the girl in front of him had not set up a trap to convict Ming Jin, he would have never had the chance to see his daughter's enemy beheaded, and he would have been destined to spend the rest of his life in despair.

When people's circumstances change, sometimes all it takes is the appearance of a noble person.

To him, the person in front of him was both a noble person and a benefactor.

The benefactor's own "encounters" were also astonishing. When he heard the news from the front in the capital, he felt incredible.

Lu Chong was full of words and wanted to talk more with this incredible benefactor, but when he saw the general of Xuance Army coming over, he also thanked him and could only go back to the car to rest temporarily.

"I never thought I would meet Governor Chang here!" Lieutenant General Yu was pleasantly surprised and took out two letters from his arms: "It's just right, so there's no need to bother Shilang Wei to hand it over!" Chang Suining took it. You can tell who each of these two letters came from from the signature on the envelope -

"Thank you for your hard work, General Yu."

Chang Suining thanked him, found a small horse, sat down in front of the stove where the doctors used to boil water to treat wounds, warmed his hands, and opened Cui Jing's letter first.

—Brother's letter is thicker and more rambling. If you want to see the real deal, you should open Cui Ling'an's letter first.

But Cui Ling'an didn't mention too many serious things in this letter. At the end, she was actually allowed to "hibernate" in peace?

Looking at the word "hibernation", Chang Suining smiled and felt warm all over.

Ahead, He Wuhu's old banditry broke out, and he had already led his subordinates to "plunder" all the weapons and horses left by the rebels.

Yuanxiang and Changji both went to help carry the corpses of the rebels and clear the roads. While the two were working with their legs and feet, their mouths were not idle. In this verbal confrontation, Changji was obviously at a disadvantage, so much so that he became angry. , he just waved his fist: "...Cui Yuanxiang, don't go too far, you really make me anxious, I can do anything!"

"Can you do anything?" Yuan Xiang's eyes were full of provocation: "Then you can finish moving these corpses yourself, ride on horseback for an hour, eat up all the snow on these two mountains, and then go to the forest to catch Bai Shi A hare came back and was roasted for me to eat—I'll see if you can do it!”

Faced with such a retarded speech, Changji was so angry that his lips trembled and he was completely defeated.

He never thought that Cui Yuanxiang, who was so busy fighting, would still have time to practice his oral skills!

In this room, just when Chang Sui Ning was about to open brother's letter, Tang Xing came over and said, "Sir, Hong Chen is still alive. I don't know what to do with it?"

"Since he's not dead, let's not let him die for now."

Tang Xing agreed.

Since hot water was needed to treat injuries and keep everyone warm, more stoves and firewood piles were set up everywhere. Most of these heating items were carried on the envoys' cars and horses.

The charcoal fire and firewood made a crackling sound as they burned, and occasionally a few red sparks flew out. Chang Suining finally finished reading his brother's letter in front of the stove.

Just as she was about to put the letter away, someone handed her an empty tea cup.

When Chang Suining took it, he looked up and saw Wei Shuyi.

He changed into a clean cloak, and his hair crown seemed to have been rearranged, matching his mood.

He sat down opposite Chang Suining, picked up the teapot from the stove, and poured a cup of hot water for Chang Suining and himself.

He seemed to have regained his former composure: "I was in shock just now, and I haven't thanked Governor Chang yet."

Chang Suining didn't care about this. He held a hot cup of tea and said, "I was just going to find Minister Wei—"

Wei Shuyi looked at her across the stove, and saw that her face was even warmer under the firelight, and the fear in his heart was a little lighter. He thought, no matter how you look at it, she is just a human being...

Isn't it that the reason why people are afraid of ghosts is because ghosts are terrifying, and they often kill people by tearing out their hearts and drinking their blood?

But she is neither scary nor has she ever cut out her heart and drank her blood...shouldn't she?

Wei Shuyi held the tea cup tightly and forcefully told himself - never, never, impossible.

"...Shilang Wei?"

Wei Shuyi suddenly came back to his senses, coughed slightly, and pretended to be calm: "I couldn't hear clearly what Chang Governor said just now."

Chang Suining repeated: "I want to take Hong Chen away, and I want to ask Wei Shilang for a convenience."

Wei Shuyi nodded: "There is nothing wrong with it."

He didn't ask her what the purpose of taking the person away was. He thought it was probably for interrogation. But after a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Why did the governor Chang let the eight men of the Kang family go?"

Chang Suining looked at him with some surprise - even if he was so afraid, he could still be so thoughtful, it was indeed him.

"I think he is more useful alive than dead."

When Wei Shuyi heard what Chang Suining said, he had a rough idea in his mind and said cooperatively: "In this case, I will just pretend that I don't know about it and let them not explore further."

The people he refers to are the officials and the imperial troops.

"Thank you." Chang Suining nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of hot water.

Wei Shuyi was startled and asked subconsciously: "Is this water, this pot, clean?"

Chang Suining raised his eyes and looked at him: "Not clean? Then what are you going to do for me?"

Wei Shuyi: "...it's just for you to warm your hands."

How could he pour such water for her to drink? You should at least wash the tea cup and make her a pot of tea, right?

"You warm people's hands, and you use such an expensive tea cup?"

Wei Shilang, who has always been known for his fastidiousness, said "ashamedly": "...there are no priceless tea cups in my car."

"..." Chang Sui Ning was silent for a moment, but he was the one who had to be there in the car to deliver Duan Zhenyi's precious teapot even when he was incognito.

"It's clean." She could only say, "I watched them burn it."

As he spoke, he took two more sips.

When you are out on the march, there is no need to pay so much attention to it. Just boil the water and it is non-toxic.

Wei Shuyi watched her drink, but couldn't take a sip, and his thoughts gradually became distracted.

Until Chang Suining asked him: "But do you have something to ask me?"

Thinking of the red and yellow peace talisman that he threw in the snow, she said: "Ask whatever you want, and I can answer you truthfully."

What he wanted to ask must also be what Duan Zhenyi wanted to ask. Now, she could give Duan Zhenyi an answer.

Wei Shuyi thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Not yet."

He thought that this situation was not the best time.

After he went to Dongluoba and finished his mission, he would try to ask again.

In other words, on this rare occasion of reunion, secretly, he was unwilling to reveal the secret that "she" was "him".

At this moment, he still thought that she was her, so he could stay in this self-deception for a while longer.

Wei Shuyi lowered his eyes silently and took a sip of water from the cup.

He had probably never drank such rough white water in his life. The water was very astringent, but after entering his throat, he unexpectedly felt a hint of sweetness in his mouth.

This sweet feeling was just like his state of mind at this time.

Uncharacteristically, he did not chatter as usual. He just sat quietly by the fire and drank water. He hoped to sit like this for a while longer.

Bad news: Xiao Cui was not written about.

Good news: There will be an extra update, but it's very late, after 0:00 according to my poor hand speed, so I'll check it out tomorrow morning! Everyone go to bed early!
