"They have nothing to do with this matter. They are innocent, so why bother to implicate them."

Zhang Siyuan's words were like a sharp blade thrust into the hearts of Prince Ling and Xuanyuan Ke.

Zhang Siyuan originally went to the border for the Great Zhou Dynasty. When they came to this small Zhangzhuang and the Zhang family, wasn't it just to invite Zhang Siyuan to the border?

But now, a trip to the border puts his wife and children in danger. How ironic is this?

Xuanyuan Ke stood up immediately and looked at Zhang Siyuan seriously.

"Please rest assured, General Zhang. No matter what happens, I will definitely send my wife and children home safe and sound."

Prince Ling also nodded, "Even if the eldest nephew cannot do it, I will send him back to you intact."

With the assurances from the Crown Prince and Prince Ling, Zhang Siyuan was relieved.

Wen Xu and Pei Yuan on the side felt uncomfortable watching this. If the border war had not displaced countless people, they would not have persuaded Zhang Siyuan to go to the border, and would even have asked him to stay in Xiao Zhangzhuang.

After staying in Xiaozhangzhuang for so long, they also found that Xiaozhangzhuang was far more comfortable than the capital city.

Rather than go to the capital and suffer, it would be better to stay in Xiaozhangzhuang.

But everyone knows how critical the border is now.

If it weren't for the Wang family's young generals, those foreigners would have started burning, killing and looting wantonly in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wen Xu closed his eyes and tried to calm down his mood. Pei Yuan also turned his face to the side angrily.

The two people in front of him were the prince and the prince.No matter how much dissatisfaction they have, they can't express it in front of the two of them.

Moreover, these two men were different from the emperor. The emperor valued civility and suppressed military power, but this was not the case with these two men.

With his worries gone, Zhang Siyuan thought about Zhu Qiuqi and his children who were still in Jishi Hall.

"Pei Yuan, go to the county seat for me to see Qiu Qi and the children."

Pei Yuan looked at the sky and knew that if the children were okay, it would be time to bring them back.

After nodding towards Zhang Siyuan, Pei Yuan left.

Before going to the county town, Pei Yuan found Wufeng and hooked up a carriage to him.

Wufeng was obviously a little reluctant. He was a war horse and didn't like the job of pulling a cart at all.

Seeing this, Pei Yuan patted Wufeng's mane.

"Stop making such a fuss, I want to lend you a few young masters to go home. If you hurt my sister-in-law and several children, I'm afraid my elder brother will be angry."

I don't know if Wufeng understood Pei Yuan's words. He was still making a fuss just now, but now he snorted and calmed down.

Seeing Wu Feng like this, Pei Yuan chuckled.

Suddenly he remembered that when he saw Wu Feng at the horse market before, Wu Feng was almost hacked to death.

The person who sold Wu Feng to the horse market was someone he had never wanted to believe.

Thinking of Rong Jiao, Pei Yuan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the reins.

"Don't worry, I will never leave you to anyone else in the future."

Wufeng twitched his ears, just tilted the horse's head into Pei Yuan's arms, and did not make any extreme reaction.

Pei Yuan touched Wu Feng's horse's head, thinking a lot in his mind.

In Jishi Hall, Zhu Qiuqi and Zhou Meixue saw that the children were all alive and kicking when they woke up, and they felt relieved.

Seeing the injuries on her son's face, Zhou Meixue felt very distressed.

"Zeyang, are these injuries on your faces caused by those people?"

Although Zhou Meixue is just a village woman, she can still see bruises and bruises clearly.

The injuries on the faces of several children did not look like they were hit by someone, but rather there were many bruises.

Zhang Zeyang shook his head, "At that time, someone wanted to take away Jing Yatou, and we wanted to hold that person back."

"Unexpectedly, the man was extremely strong. Both Jinbao and Chenchuan were thrown out. The injuries on their faces were scratched on the ground. My injury was caused by another person throwing me into the carriage. I was in the carriage. It was rubbed out."

Zhang Zeyang said calmly, but Zhou Meixue and Zhu Qiuqi frowned.

Neither of them expected that such a thing would happen to several children, nor did they know how hard the two men's attacks were, which actually caused the children to be so seriously injured.

Looking at Zhang Siwang on the side, Zhou Meixue couldn't help but slap her husband on the body.

"It's all your fault. Why don't you know how many children you're watching?"

Zhou Meixue's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, which made the listeners feel sour in their hearts.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuqi wanted to stop him, but Zhang Chenchuan spoke first.

"Auntie, I don't blame the uncle. When the uncle went in to check out, he told us not to move around in the carriage. It was us who had to run out. Unexpectedly, we met those two people..."

Thinking of what happened at that time, Zhang Chenchuan felt extremely regretful.

If they had not wandered around at that time, they would not have encountered such a thing.

Seeing the guilty expressions of the children and Zhang Siwang, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but sigh.

She also learned some things from Wang Ling's mouth before. It was no accident that the children experienced this today.

"Okay, this matter is not your fault, nor is it your uncle's fault. Someone is targeting our family, so they took action against you."

As Zhu Qiuqi finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhu Qiuqi in surprise.

"Qiu Qi, this..."

Zhou Meixue seemed a little confused about Zhu Qiuqi's words.

"Just like our family's life is much better now than before, some people are dissatisfied. They don't dare to take action against adults, so they will target a few children."

Zhu Qiuqi knew that the person behind this was probably not an ordinary person, but facing Zhou Meixue, the others, and several children, she did not dare to tell her true guess.

Zhou Meixue couldn't help but frowned when she heard this.

"Why are there still people like this? It's too abominable to attack children behind your back!"

Zhang Siwang on the side shook his head helplessly, "Do you still remember your natal brother?"

"At first, I wanted to force my mother to take out the money at home, but when I defuse the bomb, I fell to death."

When she heard her husband mention her natal family, Zhou Meixue's face suddenly darkened.

She has long known what her mother's family is like. Now that the Zhang family has changed so much, the reason why her mother's family did not dare to come to visit her is because they feel guilty.

However, after Zhang Siwang's reminder, Zhou Meixue finally understood.

"Those thousand-killing things!"

"Mrs. Zhu, this is the food sent by the shopkeeper of Zhenxi Pavilion. It is said that what happened to the child in their Zhenxi Pavilion is also their responsibility."

Liu Zixuan carried a food box into the door and took out the hungry meals sent by Zhenxiu Pavilion.

Zhu Qiuqi stood up hurriedly, "Zixuan, please thank the shopkeeper for me. This matter was caused by our carelessness and has nothing to do with the shopkeeper."
