AWB Chapter 17 Funeral
Chapter 17 Funeral
As Wu You said, Na Yuchao really just acted to scare people. After Emperor Daxin promised them benefits, they packed up and left the border between the two countries.
Although Wu Zhan was not angry, he was helpless.Besides, not having to fight a war is a blessing in itself, and the most important thing now is to deal with the snow disaster.
Although the government has adopted a series of remedial measures and allocated relief money, the money distributed by the above has shrunk a lot after being stripped and withheld by local officials.
Wu Zhan clenched his fists, then let go and sighed. Now that the military officers are declining, how can he control them? That's all. If you can't control others, you should be yourself first.
Thinking of going to supervise the soldiers' drill today, he set off for the school grounds.
Walking along the street, the common people greeted Wu Zhan enthusiastically, and some even brought out their own cabbage and eggs to give him, but Wu Zhan declined them one by one with a smile.
Most of the people live in poverty. If they are fine in normal times, these things are even more precious in the current snowstorm situation.I am used to the darkness in the officialdom, and the simplicity of the common people made Wu Zhan feel at ease.
Walking outside the school grounds, the sound of soldiers practicing could be heard from afar. Wu Zhan nodded inwardly, a little satisfied. It seemed that the soldiers were not lazy.
Walking into the school grounds, I found a person standing on a high platform in the school grounds. This person was wearing a silver-white armor with a high ponytail. Because he often basked in the sun, his skin was not as white as ordinary women, and his eyebrows were full of heroism. At this moment, he was staring at the soldiers in the audience very seriously.
At this moment, with her hands behind her back, she was seriously watching the soldiers in the school field practicing.
Wu Zhan was a little surprised. Didn't this person go to Jinzhou to suppress the bandits?How did you come back so soon?
The woman on the high platform also noticed Wu Zhan. She put away her serious expression and smiled at Wu Zhan, "General Wu is here."
Wu Zhan walked through the area where the soldiers were practicing, walked up to the high platform, bent down and cupped his hands: "Commander."
Waving her hand indifferently, Zhang Wenqi signaled him not to be so cautious, and said with some helplessness: "How many times have I said it, but you just can't change it."
Wu Zhan still replied seriously: "Etiquette is undeniable. Is the commander's trip to Jinzhou to suppress the bandits going smoothly? How could he return here so quickly?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Wenqi seemed a little worried, she sighed, "The banditry has not been resolved, the mountain where the bandits camped is dangerous, and now it is snowing heavily, the mountain is even more difficult to climb, Your Majesty asked me to wait first Go back to the border to deal with Yuchao's affairs."
Seeing Wu Zhan's frown getting tighter, Zhang Wenqi deliberately changed the topic, "How is your little bully now? You didn't go back to spend her birthday with her, so I don't know how angry she will be."
Hearing Zhang Wenqi mentioning his daughter, Wu Zhan smiled wryly: "That's something that can't be helped. The country is the first and the second is the second. We can only wrong her first."
Zhang Wenqi knew that this man was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so she couldn't help but sigh that the Holy Majesty had a good eye. Seeing that the soldiers were practicing similarly, she ordered the deputy general to assign today's tasks to them.
Then he motioned Wu Zhan to follow him, and the two changed places to talk again.
Zhang Wenqi is Chang Anhou's second daughter and Zhang Boyu's aunt. She is now 35 years old, but she is not married.
Talking to Wu Zhan while walking, "I heard that the bully of your family doesn't like my nephew anymore, but he likes the daughter of Yongdinghou's mansion."
Wu Zhan frowned when he heard the words, a little surprised, what else?
"Then what is the appearance of the girl in the Yongding Marquis Mansion? What's her temperament? My family needs a strong restraint. If her personality is too soft, I'm afraid it's not very good."
Zhang Wenqi laughed, unexpectedly Wu Zhan had already started to inquire, this reaction was beyond her expectations, I thought he would disagree with this matter.
"You are a strange person, shouldn't you be surprised first?"
Wu Zhan smiled when she heard the words, "I owe her a lot. If she likes it, I will fully support it. Why be such a villain."
Wu Zhan felt that he owed his daughter too much, and he would not stop anything that could make his daughter happy, unless what she was obsessed with was harmful to herself.
Zhang Wenqi shook her head when she heard the words, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. You said that you might be stupid if you stayed at the border for too long. The daughter of the Marquis of Yongding is famous for her gentle personality. I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain you." The one at home."
"Uh, gentleness also has its advantages. It would be even better if my daughter could learn to love others, so that she would not have to run wild every day and lose her shape."
Looking up at the sky, Zhang Wenqi found that the snow seemed to be showing signs of stopping, and she felt a little joy in her heart, lamenting that this damn thing was finally coming to an end.
"I see that the snow is showing signs of stopping, and the left and right borders are fine. If possible, you can go back and spend a new year with your crazy girl. I think she will be very happy."
Wu Zhan felt a little moved in his heart. It was true that he hadn't seen You'er for a long time, and his face was tinged with joy, and he solemnly thanked Zhang Wenqi.
Some couldn't stand this man's serious behavior, and there was a bit of impatience on his face, "I said, why don't you listen to me? I really can't stand you."
Seeing Wu Zhan's more reserved appearance, Zhang Wenqi sighed, and now the two of them have walked to the city wall.Zhang Wenqi looked at the vast expanse of white in the distance, and then remembered her failure to suppress the bandits.
Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, there shouldn't be any merchants coming to Beijing, but there are always some people who are not afraid of death, wanting money or life, even in such bad weather and road conditions, they have to risk their lives to do business.
That bandit was originally a merchant of Jie's past, not to mention that supplies are popular everywhere now, and he dared to bring rice and grain to Beijing for sale. He really thought he had lived too long and lived too well.
Zhang Wenqi sighed, thinking about what happened some time ago, she felt uncomfortable.
Although the caravan that entered Beijing was to blame, it was still a citizen of Daxin after all. When I first received the news, I felt bad. Unfortunately, even if I used the fastest speed, I still could not prevent the tragedy from happening. When we arrived at the scene, there was only one person left in the caravan, and I rescued him.
After being rescued, he didn't feel joyful, but just lost his soul and hugged the dead body of a person on the ground, crying until his heart broke.
Taking a closer look at the identical appearance of the two, they should be twin brothers, and I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart.
Zhang Wenqi was not a person who would comfort others by nature. If she spoke up, she was afraid that it would cause some more spiritual harm to the young man, so she just asked his name silently and sent him back to his home.
Seeing Zhang Wenqi's distracted look, Wu Zhan asked, "Does the commander have something on his mind? Is it about suppressing bandits?"
When he came back to his senses, he smiled slightly: "Well, it's not a big deal, let's go, we can't chat here anymore, there are still many things to do in the army."
After finishing speaking, he strode back, and Wu Zhan hurriedly followed.
At the moment in Jinzhou, there is a group of people wearing hemp and filial piety, carrying a pair of coffins and walking on the official road. Because the government has measures, the official road is covered with dirt, so the road is not very slippery now.
There was a man next to the coffin. The man's face was a bit delicate, but he was a little better than ordinary women, but now his eyes are dull and his face is very haggard.
After the group of people walked away, some people near the official road began to discuss in low voices.
"Whose house is that? Who left?"
"It belongs to the Mo family. The young lady of his family has left, what a crime! In this cold weather, why hold on to those stinky money."
"The Mo family? Are you talking about that rich businessman from Jinzhou?"
"Isn't it that Mo's house? Who else would want money so much and risk their life besides his family? It's a good thing now. My daughter's life has been taken into account. I think his young master's mental state is not very good. I heard that The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very good, alas!"
Mo Ziyi couldn't hear the discussion behind her, or she was in a muddled state these days. Everyone thought that the Mo family had left the young lady, but in fact it was the young master who left.
That day my elder brother said that he was going to Beijing, and he asked him to take him with him because he wanted to play.
Passing through an area where bandits were rampant, he changed himself into men's clothes, smeared dust on his face, and laughed at him for worrying too much.
After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he wanted to arrange for someone to send him back home. His attitude was extremely firm. This time, he had no choice but to obediently plan to go back.
On the way back, I suddenly felt palpitations, and my intuition was not good, so I turned around and left the servant to go to the place where the two parted, but I didn't know that I would see a scene like hell.
The thieves were holding machetes and laughing presumptuously. The blood was sprinkled on the white snow, which was particularly eye-catching. His brother hadn't died yet. When he saw him, his eyes widened slightly, and when his lips opened and closed, he understood He said run away.
Those thieves found me and laughed maliciously, and I ran back desperately.
Feeling the voice of the bandit behind him became more and more obvious, his heart was filled with despair, maybe he was lucky, and was finally rescued by a female general.
But I was not very happy, I found my brother's body, hugged his body that had no temperature and cried bitterly.
The female general sent herself back home. She thought it was her brother's funeral, but she didn't expect it to be mine.
My father told me that it was I who died, and I was my brother.He said that I, Mo Ziyi, died, and Mo Ziyi survived.I didn't know that people could be so selfish. He killed my brother, and he didn't even intend to let him be buried in his own name.
But his own people are soft-spoken and can't do anything.
Holding his spirit card in his hand, he felt very ironic, thinking that he was indeed dead, and it was his heart that died.
A group of people continued to walk towards the mountain, everyone's face was full of sadness, and finally arrived at the place of burial.Mo Ziyi watched from the side, watching that gentle person being gradually buried by the loess.
The heart also fell silent one by one.
