"If I take you to the He family, it's fine for you to stay for a short time, but if you stay for a long time, it's really not a good idea. Then, you will have to consider the mood of the He family. Jin Cuihua, the troublemaker, will definitely say something unpleasant to you."

Wei Sixian was afraid that her younger brother and sister-in-law would feel uncomfortable, so she advised them earnestly.

"Sister-in-law, you and your two children are my relatives now, and you will be my and Qingshu's support in the future. How can I ignore you? When the situation stabilizes, if you want to sell the house, sell it and buy a house in Ningyuan County. If you don't want to sell it, continue to live here."

"Anyway, the money I earn from my grocery store can be used to support my nephew's education. The only way out is to study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and become a high-ranking official. Don't worry, I value my nephew as much as Erlang. As long as he is willing to study, I will support him to continue his studies no matter what."

Only after receiving Wei Sixian's promise did Aunt Wei feel relieved.

Their son's education is the only way out for the Wei family.

After comforting her brothers and sisters-in-law from her natal family, the Wei family moved to Wei Sixian's small house.

The small house is ordinary and relatively safe.

I'm afraid that the two-story house will be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Although the Wei family has controlled Wei County for many years and has not oppressed the common people, they are still... unpopular.

Wei Sixian was really scared.

They are afraid that their brother will die, and those who have had conflicts with the Wei family will add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation. That would be really speechless for them.

the other side.

He Qiudi soon reunited with Feng Shiyan.

Feng Shiyan woke up from a good sleep feeling refreshed and arranged the post-war reconstruction of Wei County in an orderly manner.

Yesterday afternoon, news came from the great victory in Liu County.

Many of the Western Rong people were defeated and dispersed.

Yesterday in Wei County, nearly five thousand Western Rong people were killed, fifteen thousand were captured, and thousands escaped from the back mountains of Wei County.

Feng Shiyan had already arranged for Chen Rongjing and a general to chase after them.

If you walk towards Da Zhou from the back mountain of Wei County, you will reach Ningyuan County.

He had also sent people back to Ningyuan County to pass on the message and have people set up an ambush outside the mountain, trying to block the group of Western Rong people who were fleeing towards Ningyuan County in the mountain, and not let them break into Ningyuan County and harm the people.

After a morning of reorganization, the relevant matters in Wei County were basically arranged.

Feng Shiyan left some people in Wei County and ordered the camp to move back to Lan County. He Qiudi returned to Lan County with them before sunset.

He Qiudi and He Qingya said goodbye to Feng Shiyan and returned to the Feng family.

He Baozhu didn't see He Huaiping and He Huaibi, and she couldn't help but get anxious.

"Qiu Di, where are your second and sixth brothers?"

He Qiudi was afraid that He Baozhu would get anxious and something bad would happen, so she hurriedly said, "Fourth sister, second brother and sixth brother are both fine. Second brother performed well and had outstanding abilities. The postmaster of Wei County died for his country, so His Highness let him take over the postmaster's position. Sixth brother stayed in Wei County to help him."

"Really? That's great! Dad and Mom will definitely be very happy if they know."

He Qiudi nodded, "Yes, my father and mother will definitely be very happy to know this. A lot of things happened during this trip to Lan County. Many Xirong people escaped from Wei County, and many of them fled to Ningyuan County. After passing through the stone mountains of Wei County, they will be connected with the mountains on the north side of Ningyuan County, and it is easy to get to Fenghuang Mountain. Pomegranate Village is at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. I am worried and plan to go back tomorrow. It happens that the army from Ningyuan County that came to support Lan County will return tomorrow, and I will go with them."

He Baozhu nodded.

"The crisis in Lan County has been resolved for the time being. As we agreed before, after this incident is over, I will take Yourong and Youhua back to Pomegranate Village. Let's set off together tomorrow."

He Baozhu originally wanted to ask why He Qiudi dared to follow the army to Wei County, but after thinking about it, she decided not to ask.

There is no need to ask.

After He Qiudi finished his meal, he walked around the city and released some water.

It'll be enough for a while.

The Western Rong people failed to capture the city twice, and this time they suffered heavy losses. They will not attack in the short term.

What they have to guard against is that the Fengshi Banquet will not be held at Huangquan Pass.

He Qiudi planned to return to Shiliu Village and then come to Lan County to release water after a while.

Early the next morning.

He Qiudi went to say goodbye to Feng Shiyan, and then took He Qingya and her sister, He Baozhu and her mother and daughter, accompanied by Yang Si, Yang Ba and Yang Jiu, and followed the troops back to Ningyuan County.

It was almost noon when they arrived at Pomegranate Village.

It was only twenty days from the time I left Pomegranate Village to the time I returned, but Pomegranate Village had changed a lot.

At the intersection leading to the village, there were barricades, and the fields in the village were marked with wooden stakes and ropes as warnings.

The broken walls around where the villagers live have been repaired.

Young and strong people were arranged to guard important positions.

Seeing He Qiudi and the others coming back, everyone greeted them.

They were also curious about not seeing He Huaiping and He Huaibi. He Qiudi didn't have time to explain to them and was anxious to return to the He family.

Old Mrs. He was at home. When she heard the noise, she came out to greet them.

When he saw He Baozhu, Feng Youhua and Feng Yourong, he burst into tears.

"My son, my sweetheart. During this period, the Western Rong army was approaching, which frightened everyone. I missed you and couldn't eat or sleep well all day long. There was no news. I finally waited for you to come back."

He Qiudi and He Baozhu hurriedly said, "Mother, we are unfilial children and have made you worry."

Old Mrs. He asked again, "Where are the second and sixth sons?"

She thought that the two sons gave up the carriage seat to Baozhu and her three sons. They rode on horses and went to the village to drink water.

But when Yang Si and the others came back following the carriage, He Huaiping and He Huaibi were nowhere to be seen, and Old Lady He could not help but be frightened.

"Mother, don't worry, Second Brother and Sixth Brother are fine. Go back to the house first, I will tell you slowly."

After returning to the house, He Qiudi asked Old Lady He to prepare the matter, hiding all the bitter and bitter details along the way, and told everyone the good thing that He Huaiping was appreciated by the adults and was appointed as the Wei County Postmaster.

Old Mrs. He was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time.

Mr. He was smoking a cigarette and was stunned.

He Huaizhang was the first to speak: "What? My second brother is the postmaster of Wei County? My second brother is not even a student, and he is not a proper soldier. He has never fought in the battlefield and killed enemies, and has never made any achievements. How can he be qualified to be a postmaster? Be careful that his virtue is not worthy of the position, and he will eventually bring trouble to the He family."

He broke his guard.

He studied hard for so many years and finally passed the imperial examination to become a scholar. He only managed to get a teaching position by deceiving his parents.

How could my second brother, a rough man from the mountains, be so lucky as to become a postmaster?

"Brother, Qingshu is worthy of being your daughter. She also said what you said."

He Huaizhang frowned: "You have met Qingshu and Sixian, so why didn't they come back with you?"

He Qiudi pouted and said, "I'm not going the same way as them. Qingya and I have to rush from Wei County to Lan County to pick up Qinglu and Sanlang, as well as Fourth Sister and the others. Besides, Wei County Magistrate and Old Lady Wei are alone, and maybe my sister-in-law will have to stay in Wei County to deal with the aftermath."

He Huaizhang's face changed: "What? My wife's brother is gone?!"
