Return the Sword

"I'm thinking, once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, and three times is also an accident. I don't know what the third time is." Wei Wan's answer was wrong, but Xue Zhao was about to burst into anger. At that time, he turned the topic back at the right time: "I have also considered what the girl said, so don't worry about it."

Xue Zhao's anger suddenly had no place to vent, and it was choked in his throat, whether he was advancing or retreating. After thinking about it, he had to hold his hands together: "What should be said has already been said, since the city lord I've made a decision, so I won't bother you anymore, and I'll leave."

"Wait a minute."

Xue Zhao sat on the couch with one foot, just sitting with her feet down. She didn't expect Wei Wan to ask her to stay. When she raised her head, she just met Wei Wan's dazed but warm gaze, and her mouth suddenly became a little dry. : "Why...how, is there anything else?"

"Miss, you have been staying in this city for a while. If nothing happens, you can come to the east gate tower tomorrow morning. How about watching a play?" Wei Wan said it lightly, but the meaning in it is not ordinary.

He wanted her to watch the battle.

Wei Wan then said: "If you don't want to, that's fine. Wei doesn't force it. It's just that the news reported by the girl is really important. Using gold and silver things as rewards also tarnishes the girl. I thought the girl would be more interested in it." , don't think that Wei is being abrupt."

When Xue Zhao heard this, he was certain in his heart, this person has said all the good and bad things, so what if she shouldn't, gold and silver things, I really don't know that a person like her who walks outside needs this kind of thing the most Well, the words at the moment are also beautiful: "It's not a force, it is also my generation's luck to see Dunhuang City defending against the enemy outside the country with my own eyes." He agreed.

"That's very good." Wei Wan nodded, "At tomorrow's day, there will be someone from the City Lord's Mansion to pass the message, and then the girls will come together." Saying this, Wei Wan untied the white jade pendant from her waist and showed it to Xue Zhao: "With this as evidence, there is no doubt about seeing this as me."

The cloud-shaped jade pendant with the animal face pattern, the beast looks like a divine bird, and also like a crouching tiger, both sides work together, with only a few knives, it has the demeanor of everyone.

Xue Zhao took a closer look, and probably remembered it, but she was still a little strange. Although this jade pendant is precious, it does not match the identity of the person in front of her. Inevitably there is suspicion of imitation.But judging from its gentleness, it should be worn frequently on the body, which makes Wei Wan very happy.

Every gentleman should dress according to rank, like the high-ranking official who wears purple, and the prostitute who can't be different for life. Although he is a border guard, Wei Wan shouldn't know that this white jade is not suitable for his status.

I don't know if Wei Wan has the ability to read minds. He didn't hear Xue Zhao's answer, and immediately said to Xue Zhao's heart: "This is what I engraved when I was young. Most of my mother's things are gone now. Although it is tangible and intangible, it is still a thought.”

Wei Wan's tone was still normal, but Xue Zhao somehow felt a bit of melancholy from it. She curled her fingers and said softly, "Sorry, I didn't know there was such a past, I offended."

Wei Wan shook her head: "It's all in the past, there is no offense or no offense."

Xue Zhao didn't believe what Wei Wan said on the surface was so simple. If he really didn't offend him, what would he say about his direct brother's methods? It was too much for half a sentence, so she quickly changed the subject, looked at Wei Wan and tied the jade pendant back again: "You mean you carved this yourself, how old were you at that time? City Lord Wei is really talented, Very incomparable."

This flattery can be regarded as inferior, but Wei Wan looked at Xue Zhao, just smiled and didn't expose it: "If you like it, girl, Wei can also give you one. This one was engraved when I was young. It's not easy to see, and now, although I dare not say that it is hard to find, it is still possible to get a thousand gold treasures."

"How did this happen?"

"It was Wei who saw the girl pleasing to his eyes and just sent him off."

"..." Xue Zhao felt that his neck was a little stiff: "It's pleasing to the eye or something, the city lord is joking."

"The theory of eye relationship, ghosts and gods don't know, I don't know the girl's name yet, so I don't know if I can tell you." Wei Wan suddenly whispered, but seemed to think of something, and raised her tone: "My name is Wei Wan, and I am grateful that the girl does not dislike her." , just be an ordinary friend, how about it?"

If you say ordinary, how can you say that you are a close friend.But the other party was so serious about it, Wei Wan couldn't be perfunctory, and immediately reported the name on the identity document that she used to disguise herself when going out.

"Xue Zhao, that's a good name." Wei Wan said with a smile after pondering for a while.

When the two sat and chatted until Xiang Wu, Wei Wan in the middle was afraid that Xue Zhao would be thirsty, so she was very considerate and asked him to make tea. This Dunhuang is connected to the Western Regions and the Central Plains. The tea is not bad, and the tea set is no less than that of the imperial court. It is a plain white glazed bowl, with thin ice and green snow, and the skill of the tea maker is not bad. After drinking lightly, you will feel the fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

When Xue Zhao bid farewell at the end, he was quite in high spirits.

And when Wei Wan sent the man to the gate of the courtyard and walked back, Zhao Ke was waiting for him on the road. Zhao Ke had been catching a knife under the eaves for a while. Seeing him appearing here, Wei Wan felt a little strange, so she explained first: "I have already found the girl I was looking for, I don't know if you are satisfied."

"Satisfied? I haven't seen the person yet...wait a minute." Wei Wan's eyes dodged a little: "Could it be her you're talking about?"

"Xue Zhao, the document I read in the identity registration of the inn is also the name, and it should be correct." Zhao Ke didn't wait for Wei Wan to have any questions, and continued: "Of course it's impossible to follow the map, but fortunately the owner of the restaurant still remembers it." According to his appearance, I took him around various inns, and I happened to see Miss Xue Zhao going back, the weather and place are favorable, and both are indispensable, and I have a predestined relationship with Mr. Lang."

"Zhao Ke." Wei Wan flicked his sleeves, and went to look at the files again: "Just talk about it."

"You can be a teacher or a friend, or you can be a teacher and a friend." Zhao Ke saw that Wei Wan didn't want to talk anymore, so he had to say: "It doesn't matter about the big things, and please don't hurt others too much."

When Wei Wan heard this, he was depressed. He entered the room, and only his voice came out: "A Central Plains person, I overthrew their court, and the Central Plains person is not a Central Plains person anymore. I just watched." She's funny and doesn't mean anything else."

"Xiao Langjun, although we are far away from the Central Plains, we are not from the Central Plains..."

"The Central Plains always claims to be a state of etiquette, teaching people poetry and books, but I don't do those dirty things myself. If such a Central Plains person, I'd better not do it."

"Central Plains is not always full of people like this. Some teach people poetry, books, rituals and music, and some people corrupt poetry, books, rituals and music. We..." Zhao Ke didn't continue, because when he got into the room, he saw Wei Wan's The expression, he is beyond words.

Wei Wan held the dossier in one hand, sat upright on his knees, flicked his wide sleeves, and held a cinnabar pen in the other hand. When he saw Zhao Ke, the previous anger on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye. He disappeared, and the whole person returned to his usual appearance of a humble gentleman: "Zhao Ke, although I said that, I also know that you are right. I am also from the Central Plains. No matter how much I hate this identity, I will still Central Plains people."

Zhao Ke was silent.

"I know what I'm doing." Wei Wan's voice softened suddenly, he seemed to be still reading the words on the file, but his hands trembled a little: "Uncle Zhao, just like back then, we can ignore so much, Is it ok?"

The answer is of course no.Zhao Ke squirmed his lips twice, just sighed, but just as he was about to retreat, Wei Wan stopped him again: "Don't ask me what my intentions are, but you can also find out his background."

This is about Xue Zhao, Zhao Ke sighed slightly, it was a promise.

It was the tenth day that the Yuezhi people besieged the city.Under Wei Wan's order, apart from the thousands of soldiers he had previously wiped out from the Yuezhi team who were still helping to defend the city, only those stragglers from Chengwei's Mansion were left in the entire city, who could occasionally be seen by the people. The Wan Dunhuang soldiers only carried out daily drills in the camp in the northwest of the city, as if the war in front of them, which was about the life and death of Dunhuang City, had nothing to do with them.Obviously, if Dunhuang City is breached, those people will not be able to please them.But even if some people have doubts, since they can't get close to the important military camp, they can only worry.

More than a thousand soldiers defending the city for ten days is already the limit.But Dunhuang has fallen into such a situation, so we can know what the situation is in the southwest of Dunhuang, Yangguan in the northwest, and Yumen, but this is the case, Jiuquan, Wuwei, and Zhangye, which are the four counties in Hexi, still wait and see. It can be seen that the Yuezhi people The bribery method is superb, I really don't know if the urgent courier can reach Chang'an City safely.

Fortunately, the city of Dunhuang was able to hold on for many days. When Wei Wan came to the city wall, there was still some flesh and blood on the battlements that had not been cleaned.Wei Wan was dressed in a Hu suit, which was always bright in color, so it was rare for the soldiers defending the city not to recognize him.What's more, Hu Shuo, the town general in charge of security, is introducing the current situation of Dunhuang City next to Wei Wan.

"Fortunately, my lord has prepared enough weapons before, but now there are fewer and fewer people fighting. Please allow the people of Dunhuang to wear armor to defend against the enemy."

"Do you also think that the people in the northwest camp will not be driven by the city lord?"

"Subordinate..."

"It's the second quarter of Yin time, I want you to stay until Mao time, can you do it?"

Hu Hua watched the Yuezhi people below the city use stretchers to move the dead to the bonfire and burn them one by one to avoid blocking the way forward, so he gritted his teeth: "Yes."
