Chapter fifty-eight: growing suspicion
Slightly stunned, Sanniang quickly understood.
"Decided?" She looked back at him, clearly seeing her own reflection in his eyes, as well as a lot of reluctance deep in his eyes. From the moment she saw him coming on horseback, she actually guessed that, but
...I still can’t bear to part with it!
"Can you not leave?"
They had spent less time together and more time apart, but when they returned to Qizhou, their husband and wife were truly separated.
"No." Wei Ci insisted, speaking softly but cautiously: "Sanniang, compared to myself, you are my life. Only when you return to Qizhou can I feel at ease."
Today's northern border will become a dangerous place, nothing like the small battlefield it used to be. This is a duel that even the adoptive father is not sure about. In recent years, the northern border has fought countless small battles with the Qiang, and both countries have consumed a lot of money.
In terms of military strength, the Kingdom of Jin suddenly stepped in. Although Daqi is not afraid of it, the military strength in the north is indeed not as good as the two countries in the alliance.
"Madam, believe me, a true man will never break your promise once he has promised you."
I will never break my promise!
Yes! He promised her that he would never walk in front of her. Even if it was for her, he would live with her till the end of his life.
"You are my husband, of course I trust you." The corner of Sanniang's mouth raised, and the broken shadows condensed in her dark eyes, revealing a faint smile: "It has been a year since I came out, and I miss my mother too, Xuanxuan
I haven't even met my grandmother yet!" She smiled, raised her hand to stroke the dust that fell on his cheek as usual, and said softly: "Husband, I will go home and wait for you."
This time, Sanniang will definitely be obedient and return to Qizhou to wait for her husband, her great hero, to return home in triumph.
"Okay, you go there with the other women in the village in a few days, and I will arrange for someone to pick you up in Shili Town. I also sent a letter back to my mother, and she will ask someone to pick you up on the way.
"
Thinking of leaving, Wei Ci was reluctant to leave, and he couldn't help but talk too much: "By the way, you are pregnant now, don't work too hard and don't worry too much. When I leave later, you can just pack some soft goods for the road.
, I will prepare the rest for you. I will ask the driver to drive slower. If you are tired on the way, find an inn to rest for two days before leaving. If you want to eat something, just ask the person escorting you to buy it.
"
"What should I do if I miss my husband?"
After listening to every word of advice, Sanniang felt even more reluctant to give up. Perhaps she was too sentimental and sad about spring and autumn during pregnancy, which made her heart feel uncomfortable and her eyes were sore.
Wei Ci's eyes darkened slightly, and he gently touched her swollen belly with his other hand. There was also a bitterness of reluctance in his heart, but he forced himself to comfort her and said: "You forgot, we are a married couple, and we are united in you."
Being by your side means that I am also by your side." Looking at her chin, which had lost a lot of weight, she couldn't help but warn her with distress: "When you go home, you need to eat more to supplement your food. If there is nothing in town, you can ask Wei
The housekeeper will find someone to go to the capital to buy more. It doesn’t matter if you lose the child, don’t lose yourself, you know?"
Although the child was not an accident, Sanniang was his favorite.
In fact, there was no need for Wei Ci’s advice. From the day Mrs. Wei, who was far away in Peach Blossom Town, received the letter that Sanniang was coming back with a heavy belly, everyone in the house became busy, ranging from the midwife and wet nurse to Sanniang’s favorite snacks.
Everything is available and has been prepared for a long time. Two rooms have been specially set aside in the house to store the things that the future husband or young lady will buy.
Sanniang sniffed and laughed: "I understand, husband, why have you become so nagging? If anything, I will shed tears."
"Pregnant women are most afraid of crying. It hurts the eyes. I just don't say it." As parting was about to begin, Wei Ci felt very unhappy. He raised his hand and plucked the hair beside her ears and said, "The training in the army is more strenuous now.
, I shouldn’t be out for too long, I have to go back.”
"Dad, you have just come and you have to leave!" Xuanxuan, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly hugged his neck tightly and said, with a little loss on his face.
Wei Ci tapped his forehead with his head and said with a smile: "Son, you are a young man now. You have to help dad take care of your mother. When you can carry a long tassel, dad will teach you how to ride a horse and shoot arrows."
Upon hearing this, the little guy's eyes sparkled and he said happily: "Dad taught Xuanxuan how to ride a horse and shoot arrows. You must keep your word."
"You brat, when did I ever lie to you?" After saying this, Wei Ci raised his eyes to meet the amused eyes of Sanniang next to him. He was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have lied to this brat a lot. Perhaps it was because of his consideration.
As a strict father, Sanniang smiled and said nothing, but the little guy listened seriously.
Some stories should be buried deep in your heart! After all, the warmth of a family at this moment is so beautiful that no one can bear to break it.
After seeing Wei Ci off, Sanniang took Xuanxuan and started packing.
.
It's night, half-moon covers the face, and the stars twinkle.
There was silence in Nuo Da's army. The bonfire basin that illuminated the camp made the crisp sound of burning firewood from time to time. The oil lamps dotted on the watchtower also flickered a few times due to the night wind through the dull yellow lanterns, and then dimmed again.
Suddenly, the patrolling soldiers wandered back and forth in the night. If there was any disturbance, they would be vigilant and check carefully to ensure the safety of the camp.
Next to the large meeting room, a dark shadow appeared in the corner. Under the dark night, through the dim light of the bonfire, it glanced at the two soldiers guarding the room with cold eyes, as if there was a flash of hesitation in the eyes.
, but he quickly hid it, and finally disappeared quietly into the darkness.
Walking on a dead end chessboard, struggling to move forward step by step, he... couldn't stop.
At midnight, the patrolling soldiers noticed something strange in the main tent. When they checked, they found someone rummaging around in the tent and immediately alerted the generals. When Shangguan Tou and Wei Ci arrived, the two agents who had infiltrated the army knew that they had been exposed.
, immediately bite the poison hidden in his mouth and commit suicide decisively.
Shangguan pinched the mouth of one of them, took a cold look, and said in a cold voice: "He is a dead soldier of the Jin Kingdom."
"It's strange. All parties are on tight guard. Not even a fly can be let out from outside the country. How did this dead soldier from the Jin Kingdom sneak into the military camp?"
Now that the northern border has already entered a state of deep alert, it is difficult for Xi Zuo to sneak in, unless... there are spies in the army to help Xi Zuo sneak in so quietly. And those with this ability will definitely have a high status in the Daqi army.
.
Shangguan Tou and Wei Ci were both shocked when they thought of the emergence of high-ranking secretaries in the army. They looked at each other and saw the suspicion and suspicion in each other's eyes, but they winked at each other calmly.
"Come here." Shangguan Tou ordered the soldiers nearby: "Take care of these two corpses and reinforce a group of patrolling soldiers. This is a tense situation. You all should cheer up the general to avoid any disturbance."
No one will be allowed to let it go, and if there is any infiltration again, military law will be dealt with!"
"Yes." The patrolling soldiers took the order and quickly carried Xizuo's body and retreated.
When the training soldiers were carrying the corpses away, Huo Xiaoguang, who looked like he had just woken up and ran in a hurry, happened to pass by the two corpses. He glanced at them expressionlessly, then hurried over and asked nervously: "Brother Tou,
Brother Ci, what’s wrong?”
"There are spies from other countries mixed into the army. This matter is of great importance. I have to report it to my adoptive father." After saying that, Shangguan Tou strode towards the camp of King Zhenbei.
Wei Ci glanced at Huo Xiaoguang and saw his sleepy look. He patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Brother Tou and I will resolve this matter. It's still late at night, so you can go to sleep!" After saying that, Wei Ci's expression changed.
He followed Shangguan Chuan deeply.
Regarding the country, the country, the country, the safety of millions of people, and even the safety of his own children, which was more important than his life, even though they were brothers, Wei Ci felt a little suspicious and defensive at this moment.
Looking at the backs of the two foster brothers leaving in a hurry, Huo Xiaoguang turned away his gloomy look, his eyes were cold, his eyes suddenly shone, and he turned indifferently and returned to his tent.
After tonight, he will never be Huo Xiaoguang again.
In the Zhenbei King's tent, Shangguan revealed what was going on. The Zhenbei King was sitting by the bed with his coat on, his face dripping with gloom. Now that the North had the ability to bring Xi Zuo into the main camp quietly, except for a few of his
With only one confidant, there are only a number of adopted sons.
