Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 73 Promise
Xie Zhijun and Yu Hanzhao just came to help interrogate the Wang family's wife, and Wei Ji would naturally worry about the follow-up arrest.

After the interrogation was over, Xie Zhiyun wanted to go home, but before she could speak, she heard Wei Ji ask, "Madam, do you want to take a stroll in the camp?"

Since entering the camp in the western suburbs, there have been countless eyes that seem to have fallen on Xie Zhijun, and Xie Zhijun can feel it no matter how insensitive.

But there was only curiosity in that gaze, without any trace of malice, so Xie Zhiyun didn't say anything.

Hearing Wei Ji's words at this moment, she said: "Western Suburb Daying is an important place after all, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to wander around like a market place."

Wei Ji smiled, that handsome face seemed to be shining in the sunlight.

"Why is it wrong? Madam has never been to the camp in the western suburbs, and she is not very familiar with the camp. If you come back in the future, you will not get lost after you get familiar with it."

He said so, Xie Zhiyun thought for a while, then said: "What about the second sister-in-law?"

Wei Ji was already prepared.

He pointed forward, Xie Zhiyun looked up, and saw a group of soldiers leading a fine horse coming.

"That's her third brother's horse. The second sister-in-law should also be willing to ride home."

Yu Hanzhao took the carriage today to accompany her.

Xie Zhiyun didn't hesitate immediately: "So, let the second sister-in-law go back first."

After making arrangements for Yu Hanzhao, Wei Ji said, "Madam, please."

The camp in the western suburbs occupies a very large area, and the entire forest at the foot of Ximang Mountain was built into the camp. Most of the soldiers' barracks were built in the forest, built close to the mountain, hidden and orderly.

Xie Zhiyun had a just right smile on her face, and her brows were leisurely and indifferent. She followed Wei Ji's fingers and looked at every plant and tree in Daying seriously, appearing quite focused.

"This is the meeting room, and this is the Armament Division. Behind the Armament Division is the warehouse, which is dedicated to storing weapons and military uniforms."

"This is my father's tent, over there is my tent, and there are several other tents that belong to the generals. They are all discussing affairs in my father's tent."

Since the establishment of the government in Yezhou, Wei Cang seldom came to the camp in the western suburbs. This place has been handed over to Wei Ji. It can be said that the tiger charm of the Wei family army has been vaguely placed in Wei Ji's hands.

Most of the time, he was in the state shepherd's mansion, and occasionally at home, discussing matters with the civil servants of the various mansions, and he was always very busy.

Xie Zhiyun was a little surprised: "Why did father come to Daying in the western suburbs?"

Wei Ji's footsteps paused slightly. At this moment, there was no one around, or no one dared to disturb the young general and young lady. There was nothing around them, only the weeds swaying on the ground.

He didn't expect that Xie Zhiyun was so perceptive, and with a simple sentence, she grasped the doubts in the words.

Wei Ji sighed, raised his eyes again, and looked at Xie Zhiyun.

There is an inexplicable tenderness and nostalgia in his eyes, but that tenderness is hidden deep in the stars, making it hard for people to see his sincerity.

"At the beginning of April, I will lead the army to suppress the bandits," Wei Ji said to her in a low voice, "Recently, remnants of Wucao's old troops have made troubles and disturbed the people down the mountain. My father discussed with several generals, and decided to take advantage of it." Start spring to suppress bandits."

For some reason, Xie Zhiyun only felt a hissing in his ears.

High and low chirps echoed in her ears, she almost thought she couldn't hear Wei Ji's words clearly.

But she didn't miss a single word and could hear clearly.

Wei Ji said to her: "I'll just go for a few days, as long as the trip goes well, I can go home as soon as possible."

"I'll be back earlier to celebrate your birthday."

Xie Zhiyun's eyelashes trembled slightly. For the first time in her life, she realized what it means to be upset.

Rarely, her mind was in such a mess that she couldn't even tell whether she was happy or sad.

She couldn't even answer Wei Ji's promise.

She wanted to tell him that it was just his 19th birthday and it wasn't that important. She also wanted to tell him that it would be better if he came back earlier, when the spring weather would be warm and they could go outing in the countryside.

But those words came to his lips, and in the end they only turned into three words: "That's it."

Wei Ji looked at her with lowered eyes, his face was calm, and there were bits and pieces of tenderness in his eyes.

After all, he was still a little bit reluctant.

Xie Zhijun didn't say anything, didn't make him promise, didn't let him stay, didn't get angry, and didn't feel happy.

She just stood there so calmly, but slightly moved her eyebrows and eyes away, not looking at the stars in the depths of his eyes.

Wei Ji stretched out his hand and patted her forehead lightly, with a smile in his voice.

"Don't worry about me," Wei Ji said, "The old tribe of Wucao is full of mobs, and there are less than a thousand people in total. They hide in the vast Taiji Mountain all the year round, and their whereabouts are secretive. That's why we can't wipe them all out."

Wei Ji was extremely patient and told her every word clearly.

"In addition, wars continue outside the eight states, and people have entered the mountains one after another, so they can't be completely wiped out. Recently, in the spring, the people started to prepare for the new year's farming, and these bandits saw the right time and prepared to rob a lot of property. .”

"The plan for a year lies in spring. In order to let the common people cultivate new rice with peace of mind, this spring came to suppress the bandits."

"Not dangerous."

Wei Ji talked a lot in a row, and didn't stop until his mouth was dry.

He looked at Xie Zhijun, and the tenderness between his brows was almost overflowing.

He never likes to hide himself, and he has never been a forbearing temperament. Having said that, he finally understands what kind of mood he is in.

He couldn't bear Xie Zhiyun, couldn't bear to leave her alone in Yezhou, couldn't bear to leave her.

But in this chaotic world, unless the world is peaceful and the country is unified one day, this short separation will always come.

If he lingered in the warmth of Yezhou, in the mansion of Duke Su with carved beams and painted pillars, and in the title of that little prince, for the common people, their separation would be a farewell forever.

He understood this from the first day he entered the battlefield at the age of 15.

Hearing his words that it was not dangerous, Xie Zhiyun slowly raised his head.

She raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Wei Ji with those gentle water eyes.

"Is there really no danger?"

She finally asked what was deep in her heart.

She didn't dream about his going to war, so she didn't know if it was safe or not.

If it was in the past, if it was before she dreamed about those things, she would only be worried, worried about the success or failure of this battle.

But at this moment, the prophetic dream that did not come made her even more anxious.

She was afraid that she had missed something, that she hadn't worked hard to fall asleep, so that she would have missed some information.

Her voice was shallow and her tone was light, but Wei Ji could clearly feel her worry.

This anxiety was the first time he felt it from her.

At this moment, satisfaction filled his heart, making his hands and feet warm up.

Gentle and silent, but gentle and powerful.

"My Wei Ji will never die on the battlefield, I promise you."
