Chapter 99: Ask Shangwu City

Wu Ya'er knew how he was born.

His mother never told him that when he was sensible, her mother was already insane, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, but regardless of whether she was sober or confused, she loved him, took care of him and taught him like all mothers do.

But except for Aunt Wan and a few others who loved and cared for him, everyone else despised and hated him.

They truly love and care for their mother, but the more they like their mother, the more they dislike and hate her.

He was caught by a very kind old servant woman, who told her that his mother had encountered bandits, been kidnapped, and been humiliated by the bandits. She was pregnant and gave birth to him. He was an adulterous child. She said that if he had any sense of shame, he would do it for his mother.

Well, you should die.

At that time, he didn't understand what it meant to have a child through adultery, so he ran to ask his mother, but Aunt Wan stopped him.

Aunt Wan told him bluntly that this was not a good thing, it was a sad thing for his mother. Don't ask. As for what it meant, he would understand it when he grows up.

He grew up very quickly. When other children of the same age could only act coquettishly, he understood the origin of his birth and grew up.

This is an identity that anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing.

But Wu Ya'er never felt inferior or embarrassed, nor did he die as many people expected.

His life was given by his mother. If his mother didn't let him die, he would never die. He would use all his strength to live.

He had felt guilty about his mother and wondered whether his mother would have lived a better life without him.

But it was only a moment.

For him, there are no ifs in the world, and there are no ifs for his mother.

He is invincible and fearless. The reason why he does not reveal his identity is because he does not want his mother to be missed. If his identity is exposed one day, he has nothing to fear, and he will not hide and dare not see others.

He just stood here, waiting to see who could do to him.

But now that his identity has not been revealed, the woman stood in front of him and looked at him, and his armor was shattered.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Li's shout could be heard in his ears.

Wu Ya'er looked at him, calmed down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Li looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you laughing and sighing from time to time? Did you listen to what I said?"

Wu Ya'er said calmly: "I'm thinking about other things."

Wang Li asked: "What are you thinking about? What's the important matter?"

Wu Ya'er smiled, did not answer, and urged his horse to gallop forward.

Wang Li cheered and urged his horse to catch up.

"Don't want to say?"

"Is it something insignificant?"

"Look at you like this, smiling sometimes and pulling a face, you look like this..."

"Oh, I know!"

Wang Li urged his horse to cross in front of Wu Ya'er, pointing at his face and shouting.

"You look like the storyteller said, you are in love with spring!"

Wu Ya'er was stunned, then laughed.

As winter turns to spring, the recovered Hebei Road becomes more and more stable. The city gradually becomes prosperous, refugees become permanent residents, businessmen gather, restaurants and tea shops slowly open, and storytellers make a living.

Wang Li has listened to storytelling and opera several times.

"Those young girls who miss spring are just like you, sometimes sad and happy."

Wang Li pointed at Wu Ya'er and screamed a few times.

"Crow, tell me, do you have a crush on someone's older girl?"

Wu Yaer shook him off with a riding crop: "I have a wife! I have sons and daughters!"

When Wang Li saw the soldiers and generals who were not far and near, he could only shout with his own voice, "That's fake."

Wang Li whispered, and Wu Ya'er also knew what he was talking about.

That's false.

He knows.

But he wants her to become real.

He was very sure that even if she knew his origin, she would not despise him. Although she was a little girl, she was very courageous, just like him.

However, how could he drag her into making a fool of himself and being humiliated? She was already so unfortunate and suffered such terrible torture.

In this life, he can know her, see her whenever he wants, talk to her, write to her, walk with her, eat with her... it's enough.

Wu Ya'er raised his head to look at the spring wilderness, then lowered his head to look at the green grass under the horses' hooves.

"Who, who, where did you meet?" Wang Li chased after him and continued to ask with great interest.

Wu Ya'er raised his head and looked at him: "Have you heard from those people in the past few years?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment: "Who are they?"

Wu Ya'er moved his lips and seemed to find it difficult to speak, but finally he said it: "Shangwu City."

...

...

Soldiers and horses were scattered in the field. Wu Ya'er and Wang Li dismounted and stood on the hill.

"Xiao Han killed several people from Shangwucheng ten years ago." Wang Li recalled, "Later, Aunt Wan moved with her aunt, and there was no trace of anyone from Shangwucheng anymore."

He looked at Wu Yaer.

"Didn't we analyze it a few years ago? The people over there have given up and all traces have been cut off. You also said you would never mention them again. What happened today? Did you find anything?"

Wu Ya'er shook his head: "No, I just remembered my origins."

Wang Li was one of the few people who knew Wu Ya'er's origins. He was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Whatever you think, you are yourself. The past has been cut off. The reason why you are who you are today is just because of you."

Own."

Wu Ya'er smiled at him: "Brother Li, I know, don't worry."

Wang Li didn't believe it: "You know what else are you asking?"

He didn't feel anxious or ashamed because of his origins. He was just worried that his origins would hurt another person.

Wu Ya'er said: "I am now known to everyone in Daxia. I'm afraid those people will guess that my mother didn't give me a name when I was a child to protect me, but when she was sick, she called me crow several times.

Someone should have heard of his nickname."

That's it. Wang Li rubbed his chin and thought: "Probably not. There are so many people with the surname Wu, do they really dare to think of it?"

Wu Ya'er said coldly: "They have a guilty conscience when they do evil and thieves. They will inevitably think too much when they hear my name."

Wang Li spat and cursed: "These things, if you don't go to them, dare to come to you? You don't need to worry about the crows. I think they are impatient with these beasts."

Wu Ya'er held him back: "I'm just guessing. Brother Li, don't alert others. If they don't take any action, I will naturally not have anything to do with them."

Wang Li nodded: "I understand, I know how to do it."

Wu Ya'er said, "Let's go." He whistled to the big black horse beside him. The big black horse snorted and gnawed on the tender grass, biting off a piece of ground and running over.

Wang Li didn't move and looked at the wilderness for a moment, then suddenly said: "Crow, are you really attracted to some girl?"

Wu Ya'er looked back at him, smiled, said nothing, and got on his horse.

Wang Li yelled and chased after him: "You must have fallen in love with some girl!"

For people like them, the concept of home only comes to mind when they want to start a family.

Wu Yaer clapped his horse and galloped forward.

He has fallen in love with a certain girl, but it doesn't necessarily have to be announced to the world.

The world used to be pale in his eyes, but when there was a girl he liked in this world, the pale world became colorful.

This is enough.

He galloped into the spring breeze with a smile on his lips.

...

...

The warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers have not made the people of Songzhou City any happier.

The city gates no longer collect money, but there are more soldiers and horses running around inside and outside the city, making everyone always feel nervous about the impending rain.

Sure enough, this day finally arrived.

Groups of soldiers and horses with armors and weapons rushed past menacingly. People on the street were frightened and scattered. Fortunately, a group of officials and servants followed behind and shouted, "Officials are handling the case, while others are waiting to avoid it."

In recent years, apart from asking for money and food, what else does the government have to do?

But it was still a greeting, and the people came out to watch in fear, and soon the detailed news spread.

It's not that the rebels are attacking the city, nor that the guards are fighting for territory, but that Shangwu City is about to be looted.

These words shocked the people even more.

How is that possible!

Shangwu City is the largest aristocratic family in Songzhou. The Wu family has a thousand-year reputation and is willing to do good and benefit the countryside. It can be said that without Shangwu, this city would not exist.

Although the Wu family has had its ups and downs, its family has never been raided in every dynasty.

These troubled times are really...ridiculous.

People rushed to watch.

The four gates of Shangwu City were tightly closed and airtight, keeping soldiers and horses out.

The soldiers and horses did not attack by force. Several officials stood in front of the door and shouted with their heads raised.

"It's not a house raid! Go and tell the Second Master not to be frightened. We're just asking about some things."

After they called out, a master in charge finally appeared on the city wall and gave a cold salute to the officials under the city gate: "If you want to ask anything, adults, please come in and talk. It's just that the place at home is small and we can't entertain so many soldiers."

The officials didn't mind and said one after another: "That's exactly what it is."

Why did you bring so many troops? The master in charge did not ask these officials to tell lies. Since they took a step back, he would naturally take a step back.

The city gate slowly opened a crack, allowing only one person to pass through. There were groups of armed guards behind the gate. If soldiers and horses surged up, they could close the gate in time.

The officials kept their word and squeezed in one by one. The soldiers and horses remained outside the city. The city gate was closed, cutting off the outside world. The people were noisy and buzzing with various speculations. Everyone did not wait too long.

Soon the city gate opened again.

This time the door was opened much wider. In addition to the officials, there were also gentlemen from several households in the Wu family.

"Then I'll help you, sir." They saluted the officials.

The officials responded with smiles: "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Is everything okay? The people were surprised, but after the officials got on their horses, a Mr. Wu also got on the car with a face and followed behind the officials. The officials moved around, and the soldiers and horses followed. At first glance, the man in the car was

Mr. Wu seems to be being escorted...

"Don't panic, everyone. The government is investigating spies recently and has caught some people. We need to ask Mr. Wu Jiu to help identify them."

Several officials thoughtfully stood outside the gate of Shangwu City and announced loudly to clear up the confusion of the people.

It turned out to be like this. The people were relieved. However, if a master from the Wu family was invited, would he put up such a big battle?

"You don't understand. This is not for us to see, but for the adults in the court."

"Don't you know? The emperor is coming to our place! The investigation is very strict now."

"Hey, the question asked about the Wu family, do they really have any problems..."

"Yes, the Wu family is very philanthropic. Many people have come to join him in recent years. Who knows if there are any rebels among them..."

"Shh, don't dare say such nonsense."

The people were talking a lot. In order to quell this discussion, the gates of Shangwu City were opened, and free entry and exit resumed. Waiting until dusk, Master Wu Jiu came back unscathed by car, and officials were polite to see him off in person.

The speculation and discussion disappeared in a hurry.

In a restaurant facing the street outside Shangwu City, two people watching the excitement returned from the window to the table.

"Mr. Wei." Zhong Qi's dimples were full of doubts, "You have already shown such a large array to the people, why don't you really take advantage of the situation and arrest a few people?"

Wei said: "General, don't be anxious. Such a large formation is not for the people to see, but for the people of the Wu family."

Zhong Qi asked: "Shock and scare them?"

"No." Wei Tuo shook his head and smiled, "It's to seduce them."
