67.12.6

Wei Shao had already left, and Wei Yan had been lying on the wilderness like this, like a dying person.

Just now, he tried his best to knock down Wei Shao. The same was true for Wei Shao. He didn't keep his strength.

At this moment, his nose was still bleeding slowly. But he did not move, allowing the warm blood column to slowly flow down his face, gradually seeping into the mud under the back of his head.

It has been half a month since it rained, and the soil in the wild is dry.

Wei Yan's breath was filled with a bloody smell mixed with the smell of earth. But this smell made him feel a happy catharsis.

He didn't know how long he had been lying, but suddenly, from the distance of the wilderness, a line of shadows of seven or eight people dressed in ordinary Han people appeared, and rushed towards him. When he got closer, the leader ran to Wei Yan, helped him up, and stopped the bleeding for him.

Wei Yan pushed away the future and got up from the ground, like a drunk man staggeringly and heading forward.

"Young master!"

Hu Yanlie knelt behind him. The seven or eight Hun warriors who were walking with him also knelt down and called him in unison.

Wei Yan seemed to have not heard it and continued to stagger forward.

Hu Yanlie got up from the ground and chased after him.

"Young Master! Wei Shao has a rift with the Young Master! Is the Young Master really willing to be restrained by him for a lifetime? The Young Master really doesn't care about the blood relatives of father and son?"

Wei Yan slowly stopped.

The night wind rustled in the wilderness, and under the dim moonlight, his back seemed to condense into a stone statue. Suddenly, he turned around and roared, like a furious lion, and rushed towards Hu Yanlie.

Hu Yanlie was punched by him and threw himself on the ground. He got up and said, "The young master is of noble blood. Now he is just a pearl in the clam. Sooner or later he will be known to the world..."

Wei Yan punched Hu Yanlie again in the chest.

Hu Yanlie fell down again, and blood was spitting out of his mouth. He struggled to get up from the ground for the third time, saying, "Once the young master returns, he will make achievements soon..."

Wei Yan's eyes were blood-red and his expression was ferocious. He pulled out Hu Yanlie's waist knife and slashed at him in front of him.

Hu Yanlie was not afraid at all: "I fell into Wei Shao's hand on the Sanggan River that day. If the young master had not been merciless to rescue him, Hu Yanlie had already buried his bones under the sand of the river. How could he stand here today? The Hu Yan family swore loyalty to the king of Rizhu, and the young master killed me, Hu Yanlie was willing to die!"

"Young master!"

The row of Hun warriors behind him surrounded Wei Yan and knelt down together.

The blade was fixed on Hu Yanlie's head. The moonlight reflected a white light like water on the blade with its fangs and wolf head.

Wei Yan gasped quickly, his eyes that showed the sword light were frantically shaking, his shoulders trembled slightly, his throat slowly whirred, and suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

"Young master——"

Hu Yanlie was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help each other. At this moment, his body was fixed. He saw a man standing dozens of steps away. He was tall and slender. The moonlight cast his figure on the ground. He didn't move, and he didn't know when it came, but he didn't notice it.

The man suddenly took a step forward and walked over. Gradually, the moonlight shone out a face that Hu Yanlie could even copy and engrave with his eyes closed.

"Wei Shao!"

He exclaimed, and the Hun warriors on the ground immediately stood up, drew their swords and stood in front, ready to go.

Wei Shao reached a place seven or eight steps away, stopped and his eyes were cast towards Wei Yan.

Wei Yan slowly straightened his waist and looked at Wei Shao through the row of Hun warriors blocking him.

The two looked at each other.

The weeds under my feet were lying on the ground by the wind. There was a sound of breathing that became heavy due to tension in my ears. There was a silence in the distance, leaving only the sound of the night wind blowing through the mountains.

After a long time, Wei Shao said, "When will you start interacting with the Huns?"

His voice was not angry at all. His voice was calm, as if he was just asking for something ordinary.

Wei Yan raised his head, faced the deep blue night sky, and exhaled a long mouthful of air that brought the bleak and cool autumn night outside Yuyang City, and closed his eyes.

"I will go to see my grandmother and give her an explanation."

He threw the knife in his hand suddenly, opened his eyes, his expression had returned to calm, and he walked away.

"Young master!"

Hu Yanlie shouted at Wei Yan's back, and saw that he did not look back. He looked at Wei Shao again, staring at him with alertness, and finally slowly retreated. After retreating for more than a dozen steps, he led the Hun warriors to leave quickly, and his figure disappeared into the dark wilderness.

Wei Shao turned his head slowly, stared at Wei Yan's departure back, and suddenly rushed to chase after him, pulling his collar from behind.

"What do you want to explain? Instruct you to secretly interact with the Huns? Do you want to anger your grandmother to death?"

Wei Shao gritted his teeth and said authentically.

Wei Yan stood stiff for a moment and slowly turned around.

"Even if you can ignore my offense, I am ashamed. Grandmother Daren and Dazhi, everything is decided by her."

His expression was as bleak as the crescent moon above the night sky.

Wei Shao's face turned pale, his teeth clattered, he suddenly grabbed the palm that was still wrapped in gauze, and then knocked Wei Yan over to the ground with a heavy blow.

"Unless I die, you can't stop rushing to my grandmother and talking nonsense! I can't let you have a second thought!"

Wei Shao said.

...

Wei Shao left again and never returned.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Qiao, who could not wait for him, also sent someone to the east room and quietly went to take a look. When he came back, he said that nothing was abnormal. The lights in the east room were all gone, and it was impossible for the male king to stay there at this time.

Xiao Qiao tossed and turned alone on the bed. She couldn't think of what happened to him after he sent Zhu back to the east room, but she didn't return all night.

She was a little restless. She got up early the next day and sent someone to the yamen office. When she came back, she said that Wei Shao had never been to the yamen office last night.

Today is the day when Qiao Ci and others bid farewell to Yanzhou. Wei Shao did not return and no one knew where he went. Xiao Qiao had no choice but to pack up and call Qiao Ci over and lead him to go to the north house to bid farewell to Mrs. Xu.

When she took Qiao Ci in, she was thinking that Mrs. Xu might know where Wei Shao went last night.

But Mrs. Xu obviously didn't know his whereabouts. She didn't see Wei Shao walking with her, so she asked Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao told the story of Zhu's house last night, and Wei Shao sent her back to the east room, and then told her about the passage that she had never returned.

Mrs. Xu asked: "Can you go to the government office to see it in the morning?"

"I've sent someone. I've come back and say that my husband is not here. I haven't been there last night."

Mrs. Xu pondered slightly, then looked at Qiao Ci and smiled and said, "Today you go back to Yanzhou, your brother-in-law should send you a trip. I think there was a reason for the incident last night, and he had not returned yet. Please wait, and grandmother will send someone to search for it."

Qiao Ci hurriedly said, "My brother-in-law must have something to do and has not returned yet. I have been disturbed by this time. I am very grateful to my grandmother, brother-in-law, cousin and others for their kindness. Last night I was lucky to practice General Li and others. This morning my brother-in-law has something to do, so there is no need to send him off."

Mrs. Xu asked Xiao Qiao to keep him for a while. After Xiao Qiao took Qiao Ci away, she sent someone to ask Zhu and Gongsun Yang respectively.

Zhu soon arrived at the north room and said that when he heard that his son came back last night, his face was bruised and swollen, he was worried about looking over. Then his son took her back to the east room, and he left after she arrived. She didn't know what happened again, so that he did not return all night.

When she spoke, she was afraid to look at Mrs. Xu and kept her head down.

Mrs. Xu looked at her for a moment and let her go.

The person who went to ask Gongsun Yang also returned. He said that he had never seen him after Jun Hou left the table last night. There was no emergency and unexpected news in the yamen office.

While Mrs. Xu was pondering alone, a servant suddenly came in and said happily that the male king had just returned and came to the old lady.

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, she heard the sound of familiar footsteps approaching, and a figure entered the room. It was Wei Shao, and she came in and greeted Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked him to get up and looked at it. As Zhu said, he had indeed had scars on his face and couldn't help asking questions.

Wei Shao looked calm and smiled, "I was so drunk last night that I accidentally fell off my horse and scratched it. But there were some minor injuries in my skin, so my grandmother didn't have to worry about it."

Mrs. Xu was suspicious and saw that he didn't tell the truth, and stopped asking about this. She asked him where he went last night.

Wei Shao said: "I was busy during the day yesterday and there were many guests. I remembered that the government office had something to do before, so I wanted to go over and deal with it first. I met an old friend on the way and invited me warmly, but I was disrespectful, so I went to have a few glasses of wine. I didn't expect that I would get drunk all night and I returned this morning. It was my grandson who was unfilial to me."

Mrs. Xu looked at him and nodded: "Your brother said goodbye today, so you can go and send it for a while. You haven't welcomed him when you come, so you can go and send it as a gift."

Wei Shao should have stood up and left. Mrs. Xu looked at his back and suddenly said, "Your cousin didn't see anyone else since yesterday? I heard that he didn't come back all night last night. He and Mr. Qiao have always been together, why didn't they come to see him off today? Do you know where he went?"

Wei Shao hesitated slightly, then stopped, turned around and smiled, "Last night, I really misled the problem. I threw my face and forgot to report to my grandmother for this matter. My brother rushed to Dai County overnight. Because he was afraid of disturbing his grandmother's rest, he had never come to say goodbye and asked me to see my grandmother and complain on his behalf."

Mrs. Xu said with concern: "What happened to Dai County? Is it important?"

"Don't worry, grandma, it's not a big deal. I just want him to deal with it myself." Wei Shao said hurriedly.

Mrs. Xu pondered for a while and smiled: "The time is almost over. You can go first."

Wei Shao responded respectfully and then turned around and left quickly.

...

Xiao Qiao waited around, but he couldn't wait for Wei Shao to come back. Seeing that it was getting late, it was not too late, but he was not good to ask Qiao Ci and his party to wait for nothing. He was dressed up and waited for a while before leaving. Before leaving, he suddenly learned that Wei Shao was back. As expected, he saw his figure appearing in a hurry and then sighed. He hurriedly welcomed him into the room and served him to change into the clothes he was traveling.

Xiao Qiao helped him dress, and saw that he was standing there silently and looked cold, as if he had fallen into an unknown world of his own. It was very different from when he was intimate with her before going out last night.

Because of the last experience, this time I didn’t bother him at first. It was not until I finally helped him tie his belt that I asked softly: “What happened to you, my husband, last night? He left and did not return. I was worried all night.”

After she asked, she raised her bright eyes and looked at him. Seeing Wei Shao's mind as if he had returned to his orifices, he heard a sound of oh, lowered his head and met her gaze, paused, and said, "Nothing big is going on." His tone was still very cold.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qiao knew that he was unwilling to talk to him. He stopped asking questions. After serving him to put on his clothes, he went out with him. When he walked to the door, Wei Shao suddenly stopped again, turned around, stretched his arms towards her, hugged her, and let go, and said in a somewhat apologetic tone: "I worried you last night. I will send you brother out of the city now."

Xiao Qiao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, husband. I'm sorry."
