"Young Master, I advise you not to leave seclusion. In recent years, our relationship with the Jurchen tribe has not been very good. Especially recently, I saw our garrison walking back and forth on the street yesterday. According to my experience , This is not right, maybe there will be a fight soon."
The postmaster didn't know Wei Ruo's identity, but since the other party was escorted by the guards of Prince Rui's Mansion, he must be either rich or noble. If something happened to such a person in his post at this moment, he would definitely not be able to afford it.
"Has there been any news from the garrison in the past few days?" Wei Ruo asked again.
She wanted to know if the news about Brother Xiaoyongs capture had spread.
"There is no big news. I just heard that..." The postmaster hesitated to speak.
What did you hear?
"I, a small postmaster, dare not discuss matters in the military camp." The postmaster's words stopped abruptly.
Hearing this, Wei Ruo raised his head and glanced at Yu Zixiu, and saw Yu Zixiu walking up to the postmaster and showing him a token.
Uhthis
You dont have to worry, our identities dont take any side, you just need to tell me the rumors you heard truthfully.
The postmaster thought over and over again and answered truthfully what he heard: "My two nephews are both serving in the army, so they heard some words. It is said that the local garrison is not very satisfied with the new deputy garrison. The two nephews are not very satisfied with the new deputy garrison. There have been several disputes. I also heard that the garrison master mentioned to his subordinates several times that the new deputy garrison is just a yellow-haired boy and cannot hold a big position. "
Then the postmaster added: "I only heard these things, nothing serious. Shouldn't it be a big deal if the rumors don't match up?"
No. Wei Ruodao.
Just disagreement is really not a big deal, but if you deliberately harm your colleagues because of disagreement, then it is a big deal.
On the way here, Wei Ruo was studying the capture of Xu Zhengyong, because he had never heard of any serious conflict between the two armies.
Since we havent fought, how can we take prisoners?
Now that he heard the gossip from the postmaster, Wei Ruo felt more and more that something was fishy.
Perhaps the garrison deliberately arranged a solo mission for Brother Xiaoyong and gave him wrong instructions, trapping him in the enemy camp and leading to his capture.
But this is just Wei Ruo's guess. Even if this conjecture can be confirmed now, it will not be of much help in rescuing Xu Zhengyong.
Even if we want to delve into this matter, we have to wait until the second brother and Xiao Yong brother return safely.
Wei Ruo asked the postmaster some more about Ji Town, and then asked him to leave.
It was getting late now, it was pitch dark outside, and it was no longer convenient to move around.
Yu Zixiu had people bring food to Wei Ruo and Xiumei, but neither of them had much appetite.
Even though they had not been able to eat properly during this journey, and even though their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were extremely heavy and they did not dare to rest for a moment.
Wei Ruo didn't know how to comfort Xiumei, because she couldn't comfort herself either.
This is war, **** and cruel.
Death can happen at any time. It can be someone else or a loved one they cherish.
The power of an individual is so insignificant in the face of war.
She could only pray that her loved one would return safely.
###
Early the next morning, Wei Ruo came out of his room very early.
In fact she stayed up all night.
Wei Ruo walked to the yard of the inn and looked up at the sky.
The sky is gray and weighing heavily on the earth.
Having a low, breathless feeling.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Yu Zixiu asked: "Miss, it's still early, please rest for a while."
Wei Ruo shook his head. Then Wei Ruo told Yu Zixiu: "Send a few people to inquire about the whereabouts of the second brother and the others."
"Don't worry, Miss. I have already sent people to search for you after arriving at the inn yesterday. Ji Town is not big, so I believe we will be able to contact you soon." Yu Zixiu replied.
Hopefully its good news.
Miss, dont worry, the master is trustworthy, and there is nothing he cant do.
No matter how powerful he is, he is still a human being, and being a human being cannot mean that he is invincible. I hope that he will be invincible, but I have to worry about him being in danger.
Yu Zixiu looked at Wei Ruo and suddenly felt that perhaps their master was not wishful thinking, and perhaps the young lady's feelings for him were not purely brother-sister love.
While Wei Ruozheng was talking to Yu Zixiu, he saw that the subordinates sent by Yu Zixiu to look for Wei Jinyi had returned, and Zhang Yi came back with him.
Zhang Yi came with Wei Jinyi, and finding Zhang Yi also meant that they found Wei Jinyi.
"Miss!" Zhang Yi rushed in angrily, "Miss, I can't take care of that much anymore. Please follow me to see the master immediately!"
Zhang Yi was so anxious that he didn't care about etiquette for a moment and just wanted to take Wei Ruo away quickly.
Okay! Lead the way! Wei Ruo said nothing and asked someone to lead the horse directly.
Yu Zixiu also quickly arranged for everyone to set off to protect Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo and others, led by Zhang Yi, went straight to a farmhouse on the edge of Ji Town.
Wei Ruo didn't ask any questions along the way. She didn't want to think about anything at the moment, she just wanted to see Wei Jinyi quickly.
That is a very common house in Ji Town. It has a courtyard with one entrance and three bays. The house and walls are made of yellow mud mixed with stones.
Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Wei Ruo got off the horse, but because she was not skilled, she stumbled and almost fell down. Fortunately, Xiumei had quick eyesight and hands to catch her.
Wei Ruo, who stood still again, did not pause for a moment and went straight into the courtyard.
There are all Wei Jinyi's people in the courtyard, and they are standing with serious expressions at the moment.
Miss, the master is in the room on the right! Zhang Yi said to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo then ran straight into the house, entered the main room, turned right and entered the bedroom.
Xiumei, who came in with Wei Ruo, suddenly saw Xu Zhengyong sitting in the corner of the hall after entering the door.
Because the house was relatively small, cotton blankets were laid out on the ground for the injured to rest. Xu Zhengyong was one of them.
She ran over quickly.
Brother Xiaoyong!
Xiumei hugged Xu Zhengyong excitedly.
I have been worried for a few days and finally feel relieved. The feeling cannot be described in simple words.
Xu Zhengyong was stunned when he was suddenly hugged.
After a while, Xu Zhengyong realized that there were still people in the room, and thought that this was not the time for children to love each other, so he gently pushed Xiumei away: "Meimei, I'm fine, I made you worry."
Xiumei also recovered from the initial excitement.
When she realized what she had done, Xiumei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took her hands back.
After Xiumei calmed down, she carefully looked at Xu Zhengyong's condition and saw that he had many scratches all over his body, and the originally shiny armor was full of tears and stains.
Xiumei couldn't help but asked with concern: "Are you seriously injured? Does it matter?"
Im fine, I only have superficial injuries, but its Wei Jinyi...he...
