Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 152 Wang Jiulang had an accident (1)
Five days passed after the main courtyard was cleaned up.Zheng Yuanyi picked an auspicious day, surrounded by his clansmen, and moved to the main courtyard.Zheng Ruode got a separate courtyard and rarely went out on weekdays.In addition to playing the piano every day, I just read some books to pass the time.

It has been seven days since Wang Jiulang went to Yongzhou, and it was five days since Li Yun went to suppress the bandits.

Three days later, some big clans who moved south suddenly returned to Phoenix City.Not as well-dressed as when they left, the big clans who came back were in a state of disarray. There was even a group of big clans that had hundreds of people when they left, but only a few dozen came back.The gentry in the city who had not yet left were shocked and sent people to inquire.After asking, I found out that on the road, not only did I encounter bandits disguised as refugees, but also a small group of barbarians.Many big clans were exterminated, and they were lucky enough to escape back.

When the news reached Wubao, the people of the clan said that Zheng Yuanyi was wise and did not move south rashly, otherwise they might be the ones who were exterminated, and they were even more convinced of the clan leader Zheng Yuanyi.This was unexpected by Zheng Ruo.However, when she heard the surprise attack by barbarians, she began to worry.

I wonder if Wang Jiulang reached Yongzhou safely?There was no news from Li Yun. Zheng Ruo knew that he would fight this battle for about a month, so he was not worried about him now.I just thought that Wang Jiulang still had no news, lost his previous calmness, and began to slowly become irritable.

Time gradually arrived at the end of August, and the heat still did not dissipate.It is night, the moonlight is like water, flowing quietly.

Suddenly there was a scream from the Hengwu Garden in the main courtyard of the Zheng Mansion, and there was extreme panic.Liu Xu, who was sleeping in the ear room outside, heard this, hurriedly lit the lamp, and walked in.

Zheng Ruoyong was sitting on the couch, her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, her temples were wet with sweat, and her eyes, which were originally Gujing Wubo, were filled with fear at the moment, looking straight ahead without focus.She didn't even know that Liu Xu had come in.

"Girl...girl..." Liu Xu called softly several times, seeing that she still didn't recover, she stretched out her hand and pushed her.

"Huh?" Zheng Ruo blankly turned her head and looked at her personal maid in a daze.

"Girl, have you been haunted by a nightmare?" Liu Xu put the oil lamp in his hand on the desk and asked softly while sitting on the bench.

Zheng Ruo closed his eyes, forgot the scene in his mind, nodded lightly, and said to Liu Xu: "Is there still water in the room? It's wet with a handkerchief. I want to wipe it off. My body is wet. It's sweat."

"There are still some left, the slave will bring them here."

Zheng Ruo tidied up under the service of Liu Xu.But she couldn't fall asleep anyway, after dismissing the catkins, she simply got up, opened the window, and there was a gentle night wind blowing outside.In a day, only this time is the coolest.

She recalled the dream just now.

In the dream, Wang Jiulang was standing on the city wall in black clothes, with a feathered arrow stuck in his chest, slowly falling towards the city wall.Below is a dense army of Hu people.

She pressed her left chest, and to this day, her heart is still beating very fast, chaotic and out of order.

The night wind was blowing, and in the scorching heat of the night, she shivered for no reason.A kind of fear slowly climbed up from the bottom of my heart and spread to all limbs.

In the last life, nothing happened to Wang Jiulang until she died.She thought, maybe it was because she was too concerned about Yongzhou affairs during the day that she had dreams at night.However, in the last life, there was no such thing as Sima Chu letting the Hu people into the Central Plains, at least it didn't happen this year, and the Hu people invaded three years later.But now, Sima Chu suddenly left the city and disappeared...

Although she was reborn, she didn't know whether Wang Jiulang had been to Yongzhou at this time.

She thought, if the dream tonight was an early warning, would something really happen to Wang Jiulang?If something happened to him and he didn't arrive in Yongzhou in time to dissuade the officials there from opening Qingshui Pass, would the Hu people invade immediately?

This reminded her of the barbarians they encountered when they fled back to the city some time ago, and Zheng Ruo became more and more anxious.If the road to the south has already been blocked by barbarians, then the road to the south is no longer safe, and there is no news from Wang Jiulang...

Looking at the flickering stars in the sky, Zheng Ruo felt for the first time that what she was facing was the difficulty of life and death.The way back was blocked, and it was the safest way to stay in the city, but if something happened to Wang Jiulang as in her dream, Phoenix City would become a dead city sooner or later, and in the end there was still no escape from death.

Once again, it made her feel the tough tactics of fate.It was as if at the moment of rebirth, the moment she decided to change her destiny, fate also appeared in front of her in an irresistible manner, setting up problems for her one after another, making her feel difficult every time.However, she never thought of bowing her head.

Fleeing is death, staying is also death.What should she do?She crawled through her hair a little irritably.

Pressing her right hand lightly on her left chest, she comforted herself that maybe this was just a dream.Didn't Wang Jiulang still want to bully her in the future?If it was normal, she would think of the humiliation she suffered in her previous life, and would wish to eat Wang Jiulang's flesh and drink his blood.But now, she is grateful for Wang Jiulang's bullying in the future. After all, it will happen ten years later. After all, at this time in the last life, she has not encountered such a problem...

But in the last life, father and elder brother are gone.Now, Dad is the patriarch... She dare not think about it any further.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she didn't know what to do...Wang Jiulang, oh, Wang Jiulang...she felt her forehead throbbing suddenly, and the worry in her heart gradually climbed up her brows, forming a wrinkle that couldn't go away.

The next day, she appeared in the hall with a pair of black eyes.Zheng Yuanyi and Zheng Jinxiao were already sitting at the side. Seeing her coming, Shi Yue immediately asked someone to serve a food table and set it up in front of the three of them.

After breakfast, Zheng Yuanyi took the towel handed over by the maid and cleaned his hands, then asked with concern: "What happened to Ah Ruo last night?"

Zheng Jinxiao also heard the terrified cry last night, and looked at her with the same concern.

Zheng Ruo shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

Looking at the blackness of her eye sockets, Zheng Yuanyi said: "Let's take a good rest today."

"Father, my daughter wants to go out."

Fahua Temple really did as Zheng Ruo said, the well water has become shallower and shallower, and now there are more and more refugees in Phoenix City, it is not peaceful.
