Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 39 The troops are divided into several groups
  Lu Yi stretched out his hand and called "Shao'er."

"uncle."

Wei Shao walked up to Lu Yi, held his hand in mid-air and said, "This is my wife, Pei Ying."

"Okay, that's great, good boy. In order to save my old bones, you two must have suffered a lot, right?"

"As long as you live, I will atone for my father's sins. You must not blame him."

"I know His Majesty's thoughts. We brothers, who have been with him through life and death, conquering the world, are in the way of the prince. He is old, in poor health, and will not live for many years. He just wants us old brothers. , accompany him underground to keep him company.”

Hearing this, Wei Shao wanted to comfort him, but then he thought that what he said was true and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he was at a loss, Pei Ying took over and said, "Uncle, now that you and your family are safe, don't think about what happened in the past. The days ahead will be long. As long as you and your aunt are healthy, you can enjoy The blessings of children and grandchildren and the happiness of a family are extremely lucky.”

"Shao'er, your wife's words make sense. I have been fighting and running around all my life. Now all my brothers have been killed by Your Majesty one by one. I can live on, so what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Pei Ying continued: "Wei Shao is worried that your life will be difficult, so he has prepared money for you."

Princess Hanxiang refused, and Pei Ying advised: "I'm afraid life will be more difficult than before in the future. This is just a small thought. Aunt, please accept it. Don't refuse anymore, it will make you look awkward."

Lu Yi signaled his wife to accept it, and Princess Hanxiang's face was filled with gratitude.

Lu Yi understood that his survival was entirely due to this couple, and he was extremely grateful.

In the past few days, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. At this moment, he is finally out of danger and has escaped death. For him, he has mixed feelings in his heart.

Wei Shao and Pei Ying could not stay too long. After arranging things, Wei Shao drove the carriage and the couple set off on their way back to the city.

"Wei Shao, uncle and aunt, they are really deeply in love. They will be a pair for the rest of their lives, only two of them. It's really enviable."

Hearing her words, Wei Shao couldn't help laughing.

Pei Ying asked in confusion: "Why are you laughing?"

"Uncle, he also has three concubines."

"What? Where are those concubines?"

"Perhaps my aunt sent me away before we arrived."

"Well, I thought my uncle only had one wife, my aunt. You men are really all the same."

Hearing the unkindness in her tone, Wei Shao said: "It is normal for men in the Wei Dynasty to have three wives and four concubines. The number of wives and concubines of Uncle Lu is already small among the high-status princes and generals of the Wei Dynasty."

"That's true. Brother Zhong has eight sisters-in-law in his house alone."

After Pei Ying said this, she suddenly turned to look at Wei Shao.

"I remember you said that when I return to Chang'an this time, I will give you as many concubines as possible. What kind do you like?"

"No need, that's just me teasing you. I'm not interested in women."

Hearing this, Pei Ying felt incredible.

"Wei Shao, don't you like men?"

Wei Shao coughed twice and answered her: "No, I like you."

"."

In the side hall of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, Wei Yuan was sitting in the main seat, and Xiao Shen was kneeling on the ground, recounting everything that happened in the palace of Prince Xiang of Han Dynasty in the past few days.

At first, Wei Yuan didn't have much reaction when he heard that Wei Shao was attacked by an assassin. However, when he heard that Ma Xi might have been ordered by others to assassinate Wei Shao, Wei Yuan frowned and seemed to be thinking. What are you wearing?

"Your Majesty, the King of Peiping said that you are his father and the tiger's poison does not eat its children. You will definitely not send anyone to kill him. Then it is very likely that this servant Ma Xi serves the two masters and was ordered by others to assassinate Peiping. king."

Wei Yuan frowned and asked Wu Xun beside him: "Has Duke Pei arrived?"

"not yet."

"Go and urge me." "Yes."

In the side hall, after hearing this, Pei Kai said to Wei Yuan: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, you might as well go to Ma Xi's house to check. If he really serves others without telling your Majesty and has two intentions towards you, he should be killed without mercy. But there is no evidence." , if we kill people, we are afraid that we will be criticized."

"Then Duke Pei will lead his people there."

"Your Majesty, I am the father-in-law of the King of Beiping. This matter involves the King of Beiping, and I will be inconvenienced."

"Okay, I'll send another person there."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After a search, a hundred taels of gold and a letter to assassinate the King of Peking were found in Ma Xi's house.

The letter was not signed, but Wei Yuan recognized the handwriting at a glance as Ban Miao's.

He said nothing with a gloomy face. After a long silence, he said: "The doctor ordered Ma Xi to accept other people's money. He was so bold as to murder the prince. He will be beheaded immediately."

"I accept the decree."

"Xiao Shen, after returning to Dingtao Kingdom, tell King Beiping that you are ready to leave for Liu'an Kingdom. I am waiting for good news from him."

"Yes."

After Pei Kai and Xiao Shen left, Wei Yuan asked all the palace officials to leave, leaving only him and Wu Xun.

Wei Yuan handed the letter to Wu Xun. Wu Xun looked at the handwriting on it and found it very familiar, but he was not sure, so he looked at it carefully several times.

"It's the queen."

Wu Xun didn't dare to answer.

"This vicious woman dared to take away my people and kill my son under my nose. I think she has had enough life."

"Your Majesty, calm down. The Queen is the mother of the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Wei Yuan clenched his fist and smashed it towards the table. Wu Xun said nothing.

Xiao Shen bid farewell to his parents at home. When he was leaving, Pei Kai arrived on horseback.

"Brother Pei, what brought you to me?"

"Brother Xiao, don't make fun of me. Shen'er, I have something. Please help me take it to Dingtao Kingdom and give it to Wei Shao."

Xiao Shen took the small wooden box from his hand and placed it in the baggage.

"Uncle Pei, do you have anything else to say to them?"

Pei Kai thought for a moment and wanted to speak, but then swallowed his words.

"Let them go home as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Looking at Xiao Shen walking away in the flying dust, both Xiao Ting and Pei Kai fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Ban Zhuo and his party had arrived in Lu'an Kingdom under the escort of Bai Zheng.

King Lujiang's eyes and ears had already sent the information to Liu'an State ahead of them.

Seeing Ban Zhuo coming from Chang'an, Yun Zheng ordered his people to close the city gate tightly and not allow them to enter.

Ban Zhuo was used to relying on Ban Miao's power and prestige. He had never been treated so slightly, but he had no choice but to scream outside the city gate.

"The rebel thief Yunzheng, the King of Peiping has led an army to conquer the Dingtao Kingdom. The rebel thief Lu Yi committed suicide in fear of crime. Your Majesty ordered people to chop him into meat paste. Your Majesty has already known that you conspired with the Marquis of Huainan and King Xiang of Han to rebel. Just wait to die."

Ban Zhuo kept talking outside the city, but Yun Zheng didn't respond at all.
