In fact, at that time, he also wanted to join the play between his father and his younger siblings, but why didn't he join in the end? It would be great if it was added at that time...

"...Tomorrow, I will declare to Your Majesty that you will be transferred to Xiyan City, and you will not be allowed to return to Beijing without an edict!" His father's stern voice seemed to sound in his ears again. He couldn't go back to Beijing either.

Finally, his consciousness gradually dissipated, and the whole person completely fell into darkness.

"...Little brother, this little brother, wake up, wake up, it's time to take your medicine!" In a daze, it seemed that someone kept calling in his ear, he felt very noisy, and wanted to make The other party stopped screaming, but his throat hurt like a fire.

"Little brother, little brother, wake up, wake up!" The voice was persevering, as if he would not give up until he was called up, and he even felt a big thick palm on his shoulder constantly pushing gently. he.

"Little brother, wake up, it's time to take the medicine, little brother, wake up quickly..."

He struggled and squeezed a sentence out of his throat with difficulty: "Okay, so noisy..."

"Little brother, are you awake?!" There was a rather obvious surprise in the other's voice, and the force of pushing his shoulders involuntarily increased a bit.

"Who, who are you?" He tried to lift his heavy eyelids, and he seemed to see an unfamiliar face in the blur.

"Just wake up, come, take the medicine!" The man didn't answer him, but just stretched out his hand to help him lean on the head of the bed, the wound on his body was involved in his movements, and he groaned in pain. Cold sweat instantly oozes out of his forehead.

"Sorry, sorry, the people of Yamano are a little rude, are you all right?" the other party asked apologetically.

This pain made Wei Chenglin sober a lot, and it also made him see the person in front of him clearly.

Appearing in front of him was a square-faced middle-aged man dressed as an Orion in his forties, looking at him with concern.

He looked at the place again, and saw that it was a simple thatched hut. Except for the old wooden bed that made a 'squeak' sound when he was lying, it was in the center of the house. The square table with a broken corner, and the two barely intact benches next to the table.

Did this man save him?

"Little brother, drink the medicine first, the injury will heal faster." The big man smiled and brought the still steaming medicine bowl over.

Wei Chenglin hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, took the medicine bowl and thanked him softly, and drank the medicine as soon as he raised his head.

"Little brother, I think you are dressed like a man from the government, right? But you got hurt when you went to suppress the bandits? Alas, the guard is so young, how can those people on Qingfeng be so easily exterminated. "The big man sighed.

Wei Chenglin was silent.

It is true that he underestimated the enemy, otherwise he would not have nearly lost his own life, and I don't know how the situation on Lailu's side was.

"Little brother, you are young. If you want to do a career, you should leave this Xiyan and go somewhere else! This Xiyan is no longer a place for ordinary people to stay. Unless the general Wei of the year is reincarnated, otherwise This Xiyan...difficult!" The big man kindly advised.

"General Wei?" Wei Chenglin looked at him suspiciously.

This General Wei is not the General Wei he thought, right?

Seeing him ask about 'General Wei', the big man was obviously refreshed, and his eyes lit up: "General Wei, don't you know? My grandpa used to be his soldier when he was young. My grandfather also participated in the battle of the Nine Dragons Formation!"

"The Rongdi people are so arrogant and fierce, but when they meet General Wei, they have nothing to do. There is also General Murong, who pursued the Rongdi general Baletu for thousands of miles and took off his head. That heroic force is hateful. I was born decades late!"

Speaking of this, the big man looked regretful.

Wei Chenglin finally determined that the General Wei he was referring to was his great-grandfather. Also from his great-grandfather's generation, Wei's prestige reached an unprecedented level.

"...General Wei and General Murong join forces, there is no invincible battle in this world!" The big man slapped his thigh and came to the final conclusion.

"...To be jealous, disregarding the righteousness of the Wei family and the Murong family..." His father's scolding was still in his ears, and he was a little dazed, and finally remembered that the ancestors of the Wei family and the ancestors of the Murong family were on the battlefield. A cooperating general.

They used to be the most trusted comrades on the battlefield. After decades, their descendants were jealous of each other and wanted to kill each other. If the ancestors knew about it, I'm afraid...

"After talking for so long, little brother, I still don't know your surname? My surname is Tu." The big man patted his head and asked with a smile.

"My surname is Wei." For the first time in his life, Wei Chenglin felt that he was not worthy of this surname, and he dared not let anyone know that he was the descendant of that General Wei.

"Your surname is Wei? It's really a coincidence. They all say that they have the same surname. Maybe you and General Wei were a family five hundred years ago!" The big man laughed.

Wei Chenglin smiled reluctantly.

"Brother Wei, you can heal your wounds here first. I will go to the garrison in the afternoon and ask them to come and pick you up. Are you working in the garrison?"

"...Yes, thank you Uncle Tu."

The big man smiled and told him a few more words before leaving.

Wei Chenglin was lying on the bed, thinking about the melee last night, his arrangements for more than a month had finally come to nothing, not only could he not be able to exterminate the mountain bandits, but he was also frightened by the grass, and I was afraid that there would be many casualties.

At this moment, he suddenly had a strong doubt about his ability.

Can he really continue the glory of Wei's great-grandfather's time as his grandfather expected? Isn't it really exaggerated to get those accolades since childhood?

Never has he been so depressed, so deeply immersed in self-loathing, as he is now.

Those accolades, he thought, were really just because of who he was, not because of his talent. And the errands he has done in recent years are not really big things. If someone changed, he might not be able to do worse than him.

Everything he has obtained over the years is only because of the shadow of his ancestors and the halo of the Wei family. It's ridiculous that he doesn't know anything, and he thinks he is extremely smart. How can he know that in the eyes of others, he is just a ridiculous and sad person.

Now, in addition to the four Jin Ling guards, he has taken countless lives...

Thinking of the officials who might have been sacrificed last night, he suddenly became desperate.

If my father knew that he had killed so many people again, he would be even more disappointed in himself...

"Prince." A somewhat familiar low voice suddenly sounded in the room. He looked over, and saw Lai Lu in gray clothes appeared before him at some point. When he met his gaze, his face was obviously loosened.

"My son is late, please punish the prince." Lailu knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Get up, I don't blame you, I'm useless myself."

Lailu glanced at him in surprise, then lowered his head again.

"Last night, how many people died?" After a while, he heard Wei Chenglin ask in a hoarse voice.

Lailu was silent for a moment: "Four people."

Wei Chenglin only felt a sweetness in his throat, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground, but thanks to Lailu's quick eyes, he supported him.

Those who participated in the bandit suppression last night were carefully trained by him over the past year, and now four people died in just one night, teach him and teach him how to explain to his father in the future!

Overwhelming despair swept through the sky, his face was white, and his body kept shaking, and he didn't know whether it was because of the pain of the wound or the grief and anger he felt because of the four dead officials.

In the end, his eyes darkened, and the whole person passed out.

When he woke up again, he was already in the garrison.

He braced himself and went to see the four officers who were killed in action in person. Seeing the original live people lying silently, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

"My subordinates have informed their family members, and now their family members must be on their way, why don't the prince go and rest for a while?" Lai Shou saw that his face was really ugly, and he was a little worried.

"No, it doesn't matter to me." Wei Chenglin shook his head.

Seeing that he insisted, there was nothing he could do for his birthday. The only option was to help him to the next room, so he couldn't keep facing the four corpses like this, right?

A burst of cries suddenly came from the room next to the room where the four dead officers were parked, which also made Wei Chenglin, who had been sitting motionless, tremble in his heart.

The cries of grief and grief were like a sharp dagger, stabbed straight into his heart, knife after knife, merciless.

"Prince?" Seeing his pale face, Laishu called out worriedly.

Wei Chenglin didn't seem to hear it, he sat silently, and he didn't know how long it took until the crying from the next door subsided, and he asked as if in a dream, "Are you also Jin Ling's bodyguard? I killed Ping Yan and the other four. , you must hate me as much as the people next door?"

Lai Shou was stunned. He didn't expect that he would ask such a question. He was silent for a moment, and said, "This subordinate is indeed Jin Ling's guard. But, Shizi, this is different. Several people died differently."

"What's the difference? They both died because of me." Wei Chenglin murmured.

Lai Shou frowned, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the prince in front of him seemed to have lost all self-confidence overnight and became self-doubt.

"On the battlefield, there is no eye for swords and guns, and casualties are inevitable. Those who can follow them have put their life and death aside. However, Ping Yan and the others... death is not worth it." Lai Shou replied calmly.

"The guards of Jinling were originally the guards of the old prince. They were all people who followed the old prince to fight in the battlefield. In the world of peace, he was unwilling to disarm and return to the fields, and he voluntarily stayed in the palace of the prince. Jin Ling guards are heroes on the battlefield, they only die for the righteousness of the country and the common people, in addition, unless the Wei family is on the verge of extinction, the Jin Ling cannot be easily used."

Wei Chenglin was speechless for a long time.

He seemed to have heard his grandfather talking about these words. Maybe it was too long, or maybe he never took these words into his heart. He only thought that Jin Ling guards were also guards, but their martial arts skills were higher than ordinary guards. What is the difference between the other servants in the house?

However, he did not expect that the guards were still the same guards, but using the Golden Order to instruct them to act for their own grievances would humiliate the persistence in their hearts for generations.

He thought that what his father scolded him was right. He was indeed disloyal, unfilial and unjust. He had no idea of ​​the overall situation of the family.

He is not even a mountain hunter!

Because of the death of Ping Yan and others, Laishou kept holding his breath in his heart, but because of his duty, he had to protect him all the way to Xiyan. Feel a lot easier.

Looking at Wei Chenglin's terrifyingly white handsome face, which was very similar to the deceased predecessor of the grandfather, he sighed inaudibly.

It's okay to feel guilty, but I'm just afraid that he doesn't know how to repent, and that's the kind of effort that has failed the grandfather of the country.

"Does the prince know who did the grandfather of the country when he almost fell off the cliff?" Wei Chenglin's heart was like a river overturned, and he suddenly asked himself again.

Wei Chenglin was stunned for a while, and it took a while to remember that the carriage that his father was riding in had suffered an accident, and he almost fell off the cliff.

Listening to Lai Shou's question now, could it be that it was not an accident back then?

"Yes, who is it?" At that time, he was still young and didn't know much about many things. Now that he thinks about it carefully, there are many strange things about that accident.

"It was Queen Zhou in the palace who made a deal with Prince Cheng privately. Queen Zhou assisted Prince Cheng to release Prince Cheng's heir, and King Cheng helped her to get rid of the prince." Lai Shou replied.

Wei Chenglin asked again with trembling lips, "What kind of grievance did the Empress have with her father, and why did she kill her father?"

"Can the prince still remember the unjust case of Marquis Zhongyi?"

"Naturally remember."

"Because of the Hou Ye case, the noble concubine, who was still the king's concubine at that time, was silenced by the late emperor. It was the prince of the country who saved her with all his might, and he and His Majesty tried their best to hide the news that she was still alive for so many years. How will the queen in the palace think, and how will she hate the person who saved the noble concubine, the prince is a smart person, so naturally there is no need for his subordinates to say much."

Wei Chenglin swayed, touching the wound on his body, and the pain caused his entire face to twist a little, and the cold sweat dripped down drop by drop.

It's Queen Zhou, it's Queen Zhou who wants to kill her father!

"Lord Zhou Mao Zhou has been secretly doing things for His Majesty for so many years. If it wasn't for Queen Zhou's affairs that year, how could he be a mere minister of the Honglu Temple now. Even if the concubines and concubines are different, they are always brothers and sisters, so how can they be? Everything is clear." Pingshou meant something.

Wei Chenglin is not a fool, he understands as soon as he hears his words, his pale face is a bit ugly, and his already riddled heart has been stabbed a few times by his words.

Queen Zhou and Lord Zhou could not tell the difference, because they were of the same clan and family, and they were brothers and sisters in the same room. Even if Your Majesty saw that Lord Zhou had been following for many years, he would not care, but what about the concubine? What about His Royal Highness?

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also put it down gently, what about the noble concubine? She is obviously His Majesty's original wife, but she has not only been anonymous for so many years, she has not even been able to show her face to others, and she has been suffering from the pain of her brother's injustice for many years.

After finally returning to the palace, she suffered repeated black hands from the Empress, so how could she not hate her.

It's ridiculous that he didn't know anything about it, and was fascinated by love and fascinated by his heart.

No, what my father said is right. What always confuses people is not beauty, but human incompetence and lack of responsibility. All of this, in the final analysis, the problem still lies with him.

He is selfish and cold and has no idea of ​​the overall situation of the family. Because of his own selfishness, he ruined the righteousness of the Wei family and the Murong family, and also implicated the loyal guards in the house. Not to mention that his father would not easily forgive him, so he It's who I am now, and I can't forgive myself.

"Don't tell your father about the injury." Seeing him being silent for a long time, his face was as white as paper, and his shaky body made people worry. When Lai Shou was about to call the doctor, he listened to his instructions.

He paused, and finally nodded in response: "Yes."

The sound of footsteps coming and going from the outside, as if someone was carrying something in and out, he knew that the family members of the officials must have brought them back.

The fallen leaves return to their roots, no matter where they are, even if they die, their souls also return to their hometown.

Wei Junhang and his wife in the capital did not know that their eldest son, who was far away in Xiyan, experienced life and death on the good day of their daughter's marriage.

On the day Wei Yingzhi returned home, everyone from the eldest princess to the youngest brother Xiang had grown their necks.

"Dad, why didn't the fourth sister bring the fourth brother-in-law back? I have finished eating the porridge, and my mother said that when I finish eating the porridge obediently, the fourth sister will bring the fourth brother-in-law back." Brother Xiang was a little gloomy.

Wei Junhang was also very anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Hearing the younger son's question, he smiled and leaned over to hug him, pinching his face: "I don't know about being a father, but you cleaned up yesterday. The burden, if the fourth sister doesn't come back, you have to find her."

Brother Xiang nodded seriously: "Yes, if she doesn't come back, I will find her and bring her back."

As he spoke, he broke free from his embrace and ran out with a bang, but after a while, he came in with the little baggage he had packed up yesterday.

Seeing the little child pretending to be holding a small burden and looking like she was going to go out, Shen Xinyan couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on, let Mother see what Brother Xiang has packed up?" She waved to the little guy.

The little guy ran to her side again, obediently, handed her the small bag in his hand, and said in a milky voice, "I brought the little tiger and sweet-scented osmanthus, and when I saw the fourth brother-in-law, I will take it. Give him the sweet-scented osmanthus, and ask him to return the fourth sister to me. If he refuses, I will give him the little tiger too."

"Hahaha, you kid is planning to bribe your fourth brother-in-law!" Wei Junhang laughed loudly, and when he leaned over to take a look, there was indeed a cloth tiger made by Chunliu for him, and a tightly wrapped bag. Sweet-scented osmanthus, he couldn't help laughing again.

The eldest princess wiped the tears from her laughter, beckoned Brother Xiang to come to her side, and hugged him and kissed him hard.

"Grandma's careful liver, why is it so painful!"

The atmosphere in the room was just right, and a cheerful voice came from outside.

"Grandma Four is back, Grandma Four is back!"

As soon as Shen Xinyan heard this, she subconsciously stood up and couldn't wait to go out, but Wei Junhang grabbed her.

"Who is the fourth aunt?" Brother Xiang tilted his head in confusion, his big eyes rolling.

"The fourth aunt is the fourth elder sister of the young master." Chunliu explained to him with a smile.

As soon as the voice fell, the little guy rushed out like a small cannonball. The eldest princess wanted to hold him, but the little guy ran too fast, she couldn't hold him for a while, and watched him collide with the front. On Yunfu who was leading Wei Yingzhi into the door.

Yunfu looked down and saw that his legs were being hugged by the little guy. He was about to speak, and when he saw the little guy making a "Yeah" sound, he immediately released him and turned to the new wife beside him.

"Fourth sister..." Aijiao's sweet voice rang out immediately.

As soon as she entered the door, she was treated warmly by her younger brother. Wei Yingzhi was very happy. She squatted down and pinched her younger brother's chubby cheek. She couldn't help but kiss her again. Then she smiled and said, "Brother Xiang misses her sister?"

"Think, think about it, fourth sister, don't go with fourth brother-in-law, and stay at home as before." Brother Xiang put his arms around her neck and acted like a spoiled child.

"Come here, let the fourth brother-in-law hug me!" Fearing that Wei Yingzhi would agree with her, Yunfu hurriedly picked up Brother Xiang and carried him into the room all the time, facing the house full of relatives.

"His Royal Highness, Grandpa, Madam." He saluted habitually, and as soon as he said the words, the eldest princess smiled and said, "I'm still calling Your Highness, should this title be changed?"

His handsome face blushed, and he was a little ashamed, but he honestly changed his words.

"grandmother."

After getting a resounding response from the eldest princess, he called to Wei Junhang and Shen Xinyan: "Lord Father-in-law, Lord Mother-in-law."

Wei Junhang laughed and patted his shoulder: "Good son-in-law!"

Shen Xinyan looked at the pair of son-in-law with a smile, but her eyes finally fell on her daughter. Seeing that she looked very good, her eyes always drifted on Yunfu's body inadvertently, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two have known each other since childhood, and have been growing up noisily, but sometimes it is difficult to see their intentions when they are too close together. She is afraid that her somewhat carefree daughter will inadvertently hurt other people's hearts.

Now it seems that the young couple is living a good life.

"How will Yunfu treat you?" Although she thought so, she still asked worriedly when the mother and daughter were alone.

"It's very, very good." Wei Yingzhi blushed and replied with a little discomfort.

"What about those people in Zhao's residence? Are you embarrassed?" Shen Xinyan asked again.

"They think, don't look at me, but I'm the kind of person who is easily bullied." Wei Yingzhi snorted coldly.
