At noon, Wei Changtian slowly got out of the carriage surrounded by everyone.
He was still wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he left, and he seemed to be... fatter than before.
Good guy, even though he was in jail, except that he couldn't come out, he didn't suffer at all!
We ate delicacies from mountains and seas, and drank exquisite wine.
I only eat and sleep every day. How can I not gain weight?
It can be said that except for occasionally worrying about whether Qiu Yun was rescued and how he would judge, Wei Changtian basically lived the most relaxing life since time travel.
And he was quite satisfied with the final result.
Qiuyun came to the rescue.
Distribute the frontier yourself.
Note, this is not to send troops to the border areas.
The difference between the two is huge.
"Son, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Caizhen's voice rang in her ears, and the plaque on the door in front of her was still the same.
"nothing."
Wei Changtian smiled and stepped over the threshold.
I'm back!
…
Although Wei Changtian is back temporarily, he will leave again soon.
According to the final "judgment result", he was required to leave Beijing within three days. The destination could be any of the seventeen cities on the border, but he could not bring his family with him.
This is also understandable.
After all, it is "dispatching to the frontier", not "traveling to the frontier".
The three-day period starts from today, so Wei Changtian still has two days to deal with various matters in the capital.
When he returned to his yard, three old hens jumped up and down, giving him a warm welcome.
They don't know what their owner has been through, they just wonder why no one has fed them rice recently.
Entering the back room amidst the crow of the chicken, Qiu Yun was lying on the bed looking at him with tearful eyes.
"Master!"
The voice was very weak, and judging from the movement trend, he probably wanted to stand up.
"Lie still and don't move."
Wei Changtian quickly pushed her back, turned to Lu Jingyao and Yuan'er who had been following him back from Tianlao and said:
"You guys go out first, Qiuyun and I will stay alone for a while."
"yes."
The two women nodded and quietly exited the room.
In fact, they had a lot to say to Wei Changtian, but they also knew that they should give the opportunity to Qiu Yun first.
The door closed gently, Wei Changtian looked at Qiu Yun and said with a smile: "I heard that you can get out of bed in a few days?"
"Um."
Qiuyun nodded, recalling the rumors Yuan'er told her.
Most of these rumors discuss why Wei Changtian wanted to kill Liu Yuanshan.
One version said it was to avenge her.
Qiu Yun didn't know what Wei Changtian was doing, but when she thought about the mica mushroom that the prince found from nowhere even the emperor didn't give it to him, she always felt that it had something to do with her.
Thinking of this, tears fell from his eyes.
"Hey, hey, why are you crying now!"
Wei Changtian wanted to wipe Qiuyun's tears, but as soon as he reached his hand out in the air, he was caught by a small hand.
While Qiu Yun was crying, he held Wei Changtian's hand tightly and choked intermittently:
"Mr. Master, why are you so nice to me?"
"I, I'm just a maid, my life is worthless, I will die if I die..."
"Stop it!"
Wei Changtian frowned, and his tone suddenly became serious: "If you don't take your own life seriously, then why did I work so hard to get you that mica mushroom?"
"I……"
Qiuyun instantly realized his gaffe.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, but she just pressed her hands harder, as if she was afraid that Wei Changtian would run away if he got angry.
However, Wei Changtian was not actually angry, just a little helpless.
He knew that in such a world, the concept of "human beings are distinguished by their superiority and inferiority" was very deep-rooted, and he didn't expect Qiu Yun to understand what "created equality" means in just a few words.
"Qiuyun..."
After thinking for a while, he changed to a more acceptable statement and continued: "Although you are a maid, you are my maid."
"What's more, you are still my woman."
"You have to know that based on this alone, I would dare to kill even the emperor, let alone the prime minister."
"Master!"
Upon hearing such treacherous words, Qiu Yun hurriedly reached out to cover Wei Changtian's mouth.
However, Wei Changtian grabbed her wrist and looked at her seriously.
"I'm not joking, so what about the emperor? He is not as important as you in my heart."
"You, Yuan'er, my father, my mother, Qiao Ling...you are the ones I care about."
"I can do many things for you, but I don't want these things to become meaningless."
"Do you get me?"
"..."
Qiu Yun looked at Wei Changtian blankly, and after a long while, he nodded solemnly.
"Sir, I understand...I will definitely live a good life in the future."
…
After coming out of the room, Wei Changtian immediately went to Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen.
Although Wei Changtian has gained a lot of weight in the past ten days, both of them are more haggard than before.
How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are.
In the secret room, the three of them first discussed where they would be "assigned" to, and soon reached a consensus - Shuzhou.
From Wei Xianzhi's point of view, Shuzhou is Liang Zhen's territory, and if someone is there to protect him, his son will at least not be prone to accidents.
From Qin Caizhen's point of view, Shuzhou is the territory of the Tianluo Sect. If someone is there to protect him, his son will at least not be prone to accidents.
From Wei Changtian's point of view, Shuzhou is Xiao Feng's next stage of the mini-map. There are system points to earn... and at the same time, with Liang Zhen and the Tianluo Sect protecting him, at least he will not be prone to accidents.
The three of them hit it off immediately, and after confirming the matter, they chatted for a while about the future "development route" of the Wei family.
The Neiwei and Hualing Guards will leave the Xuanjing Division within three months, one will join the Imperial Guard, and the other will return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Although the Xuanjing Division still retains one guard and three offices, losing the Hualing Guards means losing the huge power of "supervising hundreds of officials".
Such a "seizure of power" was a huge blow to the Wei family, but Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen did not regret it.
To be honest, even if Ning Yongnian asked the entire Xuanjing Division to exchange Wei Changtian's life, they would probably agree.
In fact, if Wei Zhaohai hadn't come forward, Ning Yongnian would have really planned to take over the entire Xuanjing Division.
All I can say is that a second-grade master still has enough face!
After another long discussion, the three finally determined the Wei family's sixteen-character "development policy" for the next period of time.
Keep a low profile, provoke Liu Xu, look to Shuzhou, and leave a way out.
Therefore, Wei Changtian's trip to Shuzhou was ostensibly a punishment, but in reality he still shouldered the important task of "opening up wasteland" for his family.
"Son, when you arrive in Shuzhou, you first go to Tianluo Sect to meet your grandfather, and give this letter to him by the way."
Qin Caizhen handed over an envelope as she spoke.
The grandfather of Wei Changtian she mentioned was none other than the leader of the Tianluo Sect, Qin Zhengqiu.
"Mom, I understand."
Wei Changtian nodded and put the envelope away. When he looked up again, another envelope appeared in front of him.
It was the "life-saving letter" that he gave to Wei Xianzhi that night.
It seems to be of no use at the moment.
"father."
Holding the envelope in his hand, Wei Changtian thought for a moment and then asked: "Have you read this letter?"
"No."
Wei Xianzhi's eyes were a little complicated.
It is true that he did not read the letter, but when he thought that the value of the content written in the letter was actually worth the two guards of the Xuanjing Division, he felt a little uneasy.
"Changtian, I know you are hiding something from your mother and me."
"Since you don't want to tell us, we won't ask."
"But you have to remember, you must be extremely careful when you act in the future!"
"Shuzhou is not a capital city. You have to make your own decisions about many things, and we can't help you..."
This is the first time Wei Changtian has seen Wei Xianzhi talk so much.
He listened until the end, then hesitated for a while, and finally put the "life-saving letter" back on the table.
"Dad, you should keep this letter."
"If the Wei family encounters any big crisis in the future, you should just show the letter to Ning Yongnian and you should be able to get through it."
"..."
Wei Xianzhi looked at the envelope and was stunned for a moment, then patted Wei Changtian heavily on the shoulder.
