Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 52
A surprise attack outside the city did not affect the people in Yezhou City.

At noon, the golden sunshine shines into Nanyang Street, and the people in the streets and alleys are constantly flowing, and it is very lively.

In the street market, the people who are starting a new day’s life are full of smiles. The cook in the small restaurant is waving a spatula and frying the most commonly eaten vegetables and rice noodles in the big pot. There is a woman in front of the stove who is cooking together. Mother talked, and handed her the eggs she brought, and asked her to add them to the stir-fried noodles.

The child she was holding by her left hand was drooling, looking eagerly at the cauldron with smoke curling up from it.

Behind them, young men carrying firewood passed them by.

The firewood on his body weighed tens of kilograms, and the pole was bent under the weight, but it seemed that he could not bend his back.

"New firewood, two coins per catty, buy now and get free."

His yelling echoed in the streets and alleys, as if with wings, he flew up and down into the market square on the other side.

A scholar wearing patched clothes stepped into a neat and clean bookstore on the corner of the street. On the bookstore, the three big characters of Pinduzhai were neat and elegant, implying the fragrance of books.

The little bookboy at the door didn't dislike the poverty of the scholar, he raised his round face and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Song, what book do you want to read today?"

Mr. Song was a little embarrassed, but he didn't shrink back. He asked in a low voice, "May I ask if Second Master is here?"

The little book boy smiled brightly: "Yes, the second master is waiting for sir?"

As he spoke, a young gentleman wearing a green straight gown walked out from the back hall quickly. When he saw Mr. Song, he immediately laughed.

"Brother Song."

Scholar Song also bowed to him: "Thank you brother."

The second master they talked about was Xie Zhixing.

This small reading room in the house not only sells books, but also allows scholars to read and copy books. As long as you spend five Wen, you can stay here and copy all day. You can bring your own pen and paper, and you will have enough ink.

Pinduzhai was opened after Su Guogong’s government settled in Yezhou. There are many and complete books in the store, and there are many rare copies that have not been seen, so it quickly became famous among local scholars in Yezhou.

Song Shusheng's family was poor and he couldn't afford books, but he was able to scrape together five cents every now and then to copy and study books by farming every day. This was a rare opportunity for him, so he always cherished it.

Xie Erye met recently.

Just as Xie Zhixing wanted to continue discussing the book on waterwheel building with him, he heard noisy discussions from outside.

"I heard that the grain cart sent from Yongfeng warehouse encountered wolves, and the soldiers are protecting the grain."

"Oh, why are there wolves? Are the soldiers all right?"

"My God, that's scary."

The people outside were talking about it, and the timid ones covered their ears directly, as if they didn't dare to listen.

The local people in Yezhou have never seen wolves, and there are no wolves near Yezhou!
Xie Zhixing originally wanted to go out and ask what happened, but when he heard the word Yongfengcang, his face immediately changed.

He remembered that sister said that day that she was going to Yongfeng warehouse to do business, and she would be free when the food was shipped back to Yezhou.

The food team was attacked, and the wolves were infested. Will sister be in danger?

Xie Zhixing's face was pale, and he didn't even have time to say a word to Song Shusheng, so he hurriedly said to the bookboy, "Where are the horses in the shop? Bring me one!"

This was the first time he spoke to the bookboy in such a cold and hard manner, and the little bookboy trembled with fright, a little frightened.

"Master, Missy said... said..."

That's right, sister won't let him ride a horse.

But now my sister is in danger, I don't know what kind of danger I will encounter, if he only cares about himself and looks forward and backward, in case something happens to my sister...

Xie Zhixing didn't hesitate at all, he roared angrily: "Get ready for the horse!"

When Pinduzhai was in chaos, Zhengyang Street, Zhoumu Mansion, Wei Ji had already put on his armor and got on his horse.

His face was full of coldness and solemnity, there was no smile on that handsome and extraordinary face, and there was only ice in the depths of his eyes that was too thick to melt.

The cold ice was poisoned and stained with blood, seeing people killing people, seeing ghosts killing ghosts.

Xiao Zhong followed him on horseback, speaking quickly: "Finding that the young lady's carriage was missing, Vice General Liu and Captain Feng immediately mobilized most of their staff to find the young lady's trace, and have already begun to investigate near Nanlu Mountain."

Xiao Zhong was not an ordinary servant, he happened to be in the queue behind when the incident happened, he didn't have time to catch up with the carriage, and was shot by a cold arrow on the rocky road, which made the carriage disappear in front of him.

Xiao Zhong made a decisive decision, and immediately reported a word to Feng Fang, and then went straight to Yezhou City.

Wei Ji understood many things without asking.

He had a cold face, and the aura around him was even colder than a winter night in the north.

"The most urgent thing is to find the young lady," Wei Ji said coldly, "and send another 500 people to follow me out of the city to find someone."

"Have you caught it alive?"

The two were talking, and the whole team galloped out from the State Shepherd's Mansion. The sound of the horses' hoofs kicking, and stepping on the bluestone road was almost earth-shattering.

The people heard the horses galloping from a long distance, and immediately made way to watch the blue-shirted army gallop out of the city.

The elderly grandma patted her chest and whispered, "Fortunately, there is a Duke."

"Yeah, fortunately there are major generals. If it weren't for them, there would be no Yezhou today."

"With them here, we won't be afraid of wolves."

Wei Ji didn't hear the discussion of these common people, he could only hear the whistling wind in his ears, and Xie Zhiyun's talking and laughing that day.

"I am Young Madam Wei, who dares to touch me?"

"What am I afraid of? I've never been afraid."

"Young master, don't look down on people."

At that time, he also felt that Xie Zhiyun didn't need to be afraid. She was accompanied by government soldiers when she went in and out, and even if she went back to her mother's house, she would be protected. Who would dare to touch the future mistress of Su Guogong's mansion in the border of Yezhou?Do you think it's too long?

But there are so many desperadoes who think their lives are too long.

Hearing Wei Ji's question, Xiao Zhong lowered his head: "As soon as something happens, my subordinates rush back to Yezhou, and I don't know what to do next."

Wei Ji hummed coldly, and the sweat dripped off Xiao Zhong's forehead immediately.

Because of their improper guards, the young lady disappeared. If the lady is fine, it’s okay, but it’s only thirty or fifty military whips. If the lady has an accident...

Xiao Zhong gritted his teeth, he couldn't even forgive himself.

Wei Ji drove like lightning all the way, and went straight out of the city. Along the way, he had no time to think about it in his mind, and never thought about the consequences of Xie Zhiyun's serious accident.

Xie Zhiyun will be fine.

She was so young, so healthy, so fresh, so lovely.

She has the best future yet, and she won't die.

Wei Ji's face sank like water, his hand holding the rein was bruised, and his movements became more and more rough.

"drive!"

Hearing a roar, Tayun ran wildly, rushing all the way to the bloody place on the ground.
