"Because I have already promised others," Wei Suo said calmly.

Guan Yu thought for a while and asked, "Is it Cao Pi?"

Wei Suo nodded.

"I heard that Cao Cao doesn't approve of this marriage." The parents ordered the matchmaker's words about the marriage, oh, this excuse is really easy to use.It is simply a must-have skill for half a dozen mandarin ducks!

Wei Suo smiled and said, "But uncle will not agree to the marriage you mentioned."

She originally only thought about Zhang Yida's future, but now that Second Brother Guan joined the team, she could see clearly the respective positions between the two.

"How do you know?" Guan Yu asked.

"Both the general and I know that the current imperial court is Duke Cao's court, and the emperor is just a golden bird raised by Duke Cao, not an eagle that can fly high. And your elder brother, Liu Bei, will he be loyal to such an emperor, or will he be loyal to such an emperor?" Loyal to Duke Cao"

Guan Yu was silent.No way, my elder brother has the ambition to help the world and stabilize the country, and one day he will bring peace to the world and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.Whether it is Cao Cao or the emperor who has a false name, he is not the object of his brother's allegiance.

Although he didn't speak, Wei Suo knew what he was thinking. "But my uncle is loyal to Duke Cao, no matter whether he is a minister or a king. If I fulfill your request, when the two armies are at war, how should I deal with myself?"

Cao Cao will not be loyal to the emperor forever, and Liu Bei will not always be subservient to Cao Cao.One day soldiers will meet each other, if Zhang Yida and Xia Houyuan meet on the battlefield, these two people will only miss their country and not their family, and there will be no room for mercy for those who fight.But, as far as she is concerned, why would she ever want to see anyone get hurt?

Guan Yu stood up and smiled generously, "Everyone says you are crazy and stupid, but you see it more clearly than anyone else." After that, he said "Farewell" and picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the ground and walked out of the tent.

The next day, news of the rebellion among Yuan Shu's remnants came, and Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Yida to lead troops to attack.

Before leaving, Zhang Yida came to Wei Suo's tent.

Wei Suo, who had just woken up, heard someone coming in, looked up, and saw Zhang Yida standing at the door of the tent, with the bright red rays of the rising sun falling from behind, casting a tall and silent silhouette on the ground.

Seeing that he was just standing there without speaking, Wei Suo couldn't help asking him, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yida walked into the tent without saying a word, held Wei Suo in his arms, rubbed his cheek against the top of her head, and said softly, "Wait for me to come back."

The horn of the expedition sounded, Zhang Yida let go of Wei Suo, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Wei Suo frowned and looked at his back as he went away. Didn't Brother Guan make it clear to him yesterday?Why is Zhang Yida still acting like an idiot today?

Forget it, I guess the second brother Guan forgot to reply to Zhang Yida yesterday, and he will remember it when he gets bored on the road, and he will make it clear to him then.Thinking about it, Wei Suo yawned and rolled off to sleep back into the cage.

Yuan Shu's army was not resistant to fighting, and the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shu's remnants was even more scumbag.Therefore, after Liu Bei dispatched Guan Yu and Zhang Yida, he did not set up camp and wait for them to return, but set up camp and returned to Xudu first.

Although Liu Bei didn't like Zhang Yida being with Wei Suo, he never made things difficult for her.He set up a carriage for Wei Suo, had a lot of food and clothing along the way, and asked someone to take care of him.

After walking for about half a month, Wei Suo returned to Xudu with Liu Bei's army. It was November of the fourth year of Jian'an.

Gate of Captain's Mansion

"Thank you General Liu for taking care of you all the way." Wei Suo saluted Liu Bei

"You don't need to say thank you for the effort of raising your hand." Liu Bei returned the gift, his attitude was always indifferent.

"Farewell, I will repay the general's kindness in the future." Wei Suo didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, saluted again and turned to enter the door.

Entering the house, the old servant Wang Wu stared blankly at Wei Suo for a while before welcoming her in. "Scholar... Lady, you are not..." Wang Wu pointed at Wei Suo with trembling fingers.

"What's the matter with me?" Wei Suo touched his cheek, could it be that he got tanned in recent months?So much so that even the old servant couldn't recognize him when he got home?

Wei Suo was thinking that there was a person walking towards him, with delicate features and a charming demeanor, but it was Juan'er who was received into the room by Xia Houheng.Long time no see, she looks more and more charming.

Juan'er also looked shocked when she saw Wei Suo, she covered her mouth and said, "Scholar lady, why are you..., haven't you already..."

Seeing the way the two looked at her, Wei Suo felt something was wrong in his heart.It stands to reason that Zhang Yida had already written a letter to his uncle, and according to his uncle's temperament, he should have sent someone to the city gate to pick her up long ago.But when he arrived at the gate of the city, he saw only the soldiers guarding the city, but no servants at home. Wei Suo was a little strange at first.Now at home, Wang Wu and Juan'er looked like this again, what happened?Why do they look like they have seen a ghost?

"Where are my uncles and aunts? Take me to see them," Wei Suo said to Juan'er.

"The general and his wife have gone out"

"Where did they go? There are so many people outside, why are they going out? Isn't this a crowd?" Wei Suo remembered that when he just entered the city, there were crowds of people in the city, shoulder to shoulder, and it was difficult for vehicles and horses to move.Liu Bei took a long detour before sending her to the door of the house.

"I'm going to Sikong Mansion," Juan'er said, lowering her head, not daring to look at Wei Suo.

So this is ah!Lao Cao called, no matter how many people crowded the road, uncle still had to go.Wei Suo nodded and asked, "What about Brother and the others?"

"Going out too." Juan'er lowered her head.

"Are you at Sikong's mansion too?"

Juan'er nodded slightly with her lowered head.

Wei Suo noticed her abnormality "Juan'er, look up at me"

Juan'er raised her head tremblingly, but she still didn't dare to look into Wei Suo's eyes.

Seeing her like this, Wei Suo knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he waved his hand, "Go and prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

As soon as Wei Suo finished speaking, Juan'er ran down quickly, as if fleeing the scene of a disaster.

After taking a bath, Wei Suo woke up, and a servant girl came to pass the word, saying that the general and his wife had returned, and called the lady to meet him.

Wei Suo came to the front hall, bowed to his uncle and aunt, only to find that brother and the others were all there, winked at Hou Xia and sat down in his seat.

"Ah Suo, when did you come back?" Uncle asked solemnly

"Just this afternoon"

Xia Houyuan and his wife looked at each other with worried faces.Looking at her elder brothers, Xiahouheng and Xiahoucheng looked at her worriedly, while Xiahouba drank his tea indifferently.

I only heard my uncle Xia Houyuan say, "Four months ago, I sent someone to Xiangyang to pick you up. I haven't seen you back for a long time. I was worried that something happened to you, so I went to Xiangyang Liu Biao to ask for a question or two. After asking, I found out that there was a man in Xiangyang. The remnants of the Yellow Turban invaded, and the place where they invaded was near the address of Mr. Sima Hui. I sent someone to Xiangyang to investigate in person, and found the carriage sent to pick you up and the body of day lily. We thought you had..."

"Think I've died in the chaos?" That's why Wang Wu and Juan'er, who were guarding the gate, looked at her with expressions like seeing a ghost.But didn't Zhang Yida send a letter back to report his safety before?

Xia Houyuan nodded heavily, and then asked: "What happened, why did you come home now?" And alone?

"Uncle, the people you sent to pick me up were attacked by the Yellow Turbans, and the entire army was wiped out. If Zhang Yide hadn't appeared in time to save me, I would have died in Xiangyang together."

"Zhang Yide, Zhang Fei?"

"That's right, he was the one who saved me. As for why he appeared in Xiangyang, I don't know." Although she didn't plan to marry Zhang Yida, she wouldn't sell him either.

"Since that's the case, it's only a month's journey from Xiangyang to Xudu, so why are you returning home now?"

Wei Suo recounted what happened on the road, only omitting Zhang Yida's marriage proposal.

"In that case, it's thanks to Zhang Fei," Xia Houyuan said.

"That's right, without him, Ah Suo would never see his uncle again."

Xia Houyuan let out a 'huh', frowned and lowered his head in thought.What does Ding know about her husband's annoyance? "Tell her, she will know sooner or later"

Wei Suo glanced at Xiahouyuan and his wife, then at Xiahouheng and his brothers. What are they going to tell her?What did they hide from her, the heavy look on her aunt's face, Juan'er's dodge, brother's worry, all these told her that what she was about to hear was not good news.

"Today is the day when the second son gets married," Xia Houyuan said after a long silence.

"Oh, which girl did you marry?" Wei Suo made his voice as calm as possible.

"The girl of a prominent family of the country party"

"So that's how it is." He lowered his head and sipped his tea, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.It turns out that today the crowds in the city are crowded and the roads are impassable because the second son of the Sikong family got married, and Juan'er ran away in a hurry because she was afraid that she would ask about it.It's really time for her to come back, and it just happened to catch up with him to get married.At the beginning of the year, he even asked her if she would like to go to Qinglu together, but now who in Qinglu is joining hands with him?

"Zihuan had already asked Sikong's consent, that's why my father sent someone to pick you up, but who knew that the news that you died under the hands of Huangjin came back. Mrs. Bian couldn't bear Zihuan's sadness, so she asked Ren to marry him. House girl," Xia Houheng said.

just one step away...

Wei Suo closed his eyes, drank the tea in the cup, could not tell the bitterness spread between his lips and teeth.Wei Suo bowed to Xia Houyuan and Ding Shi, got up and left, and went straight to the gate.

Zhang Yida had clearly sent a letter to his uncle, but they had not learned that she was alive until now. Who exactly sent Zhang Yida's letter?Only Wang Wu, the gatekeeper, knew about this matter.

"Wang Wu, has any letter been sent to the mansion in the past month?"

Seeing Wei Suo, Wang Wu was still a little scared, turned his head to think for a while, and replied tremblingly, "There was a letter not long ago."

"Who has this letter now?"

"Mr. Erlang took it"

Lord Erlang is Xiahouba.There was a buzzing sound in Wei Suo's head, did he actually receive Zhang Yida's letter?Just as he was thinking about Xiahouba's voice coming from behind him.

"I withheld the letter from Zhang Yide," Xia Hou said bluntly.

The author has something to say:

☆, ending

"I withheld the letter from Zhang Yide," Xia Hou said bluntly.

Wei Suo looked at his indifferent face, and asked in a choked voice, "Why?" She knew that Xia Houba had always been at odds with her, but Zhang Yida's letter was just to say that she was safe, to let her uncle and aunt know that she was still alive, so there was no need to worry about her. She is worried.Why did he withhold Zhang Yida's letter from the whole family.

"At that time, the second son was already preparing for the marriage. If he knew that you were still alive, he would definitely regret the marriage desperately. The Ren family is a prominent family in the township party, and Sikong intended to win over. If the second son really regretted the marriage for you, how could the Ren family do it?" Hugh, how could Sikong spare my Xiahou family?"

"So you even hid the truth from your uncle and elder brother?"

"Based on the friendship between elder brother and Second Young Master, if he knows, Second Young Master will definitely know about it too."

Wei Suo was silent.The reason for her rejection of Zhang Yida is that the two will have opposing positions in the future and it will be difficult for them to deal with each other.But she never thought that being with Cao Pi, who has the same stand, would bring so many worries to her family.

Seeing her silence, Xia Houba immediately sneered and said, "I said earlier that you are not Ah Suo, but father and uncle Quan just didn't believe it. Now that you have caused such a disaster, I think they still believe you?"

Hearing what he said, Wei Suo couldn't help wondering, "What trouble have I caused?"

"In order to save Zhang Fei, you risked entering Cai Mao's mansion alone, and then humiliated Cai Mao. Isn't this a disaster? Zhang Fei's letter is clearly written, and the tone of the letter is not so much gratitude as it is It's love, I just don't know if you two have ever..." Xia Houcheng paused here, as if he was concerned about Wei Suo's face, but also as if he was afraid that the word would dirty his mouth. How could you be so disregarding your reputation for someone you don't know?"

At that time, she entered the Cai Mansion for Zhang Yida, firstly because she believed that Zhang Yida would be able to rescue her, and secondly because she was determined to be a bodyguard to trick him.It was a matter with a clear conscience, but Wei Suo lowered her head guiltily at this time. If there were no such interests involved, would she still do this for Zhang Yida?She wasn't the original Xia Housuo, but because Xia Houyuan and Xia Houcheng were so sure, everyone believed that she was just crazy because she had smashed her head.Now, like her predecessors, she is called a monster.If uncle and Ah Cheng knew that she was not Ah Zuo, would she still be able to stay in this family?

"How are you doing?" Wei Suo asked Xia Houba.

Forget it, Xiahou's family treated her well after all, so why bother to make uncle sad again.I just don't know what kind of conditions are needed for Xiahouba to keep this secret?

"Leave Xiahou's house before the second son finds you," Xiahouba said coldly.

"Okay, let me prepare for a while," Wei Suo said.

Xia Houba took a deep look at Wei Suo: "I'll do it for myself" and turned to leave after speaking.

Wei Suo stood there blankly, saying that it would take some time for her to prepare, but where should she start.She ran thousands of miles just to go home, but when she got home, someone came to tell her that this was not her home in the first place.The world is so big, where is her shelter, and where can she go?

Ever since she decided to leave Xiahou's house, Wei Suo locked herself in her room and re-studied "Yu Gong". She couldn't stay in Xudu anymore, but where else is it safe? ?According to the history of the Three Kingdoms that Wei Suo knew, Soochow seems to be fairly peaceful, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei successfully attacked Soochow.Therefore, during Wei Suo's lifetime, the place can be temporarily protected from the invasion of war.After deciding on the destination, Wei Suo began to pack his things.

In the morning of early winter, before the sun rose, the city of Xudu was shrouded in thin mist.Under the cover of fog, Wei Suo quietly left through the back door with his packed luggage and headed for the east gate.

After walking a few steps, the sound of horseshoes came from the front.In the thin white mist, one can vaguely see a tall figure wearing a red cloak galloping towards him.

'Woo' Seeing someone in front of him, the rider reined in his horse and stopped.A jade face appeared in the mist.

"Zhang Yida," Wei Suo called out to the people coming.

Why do you appear here, neither early nor late, impartial, always when I have nowhere to go.

"Second brother told me, you said that Xia Houyuan would not agree to my marriage with you, just because I am loyal to my elder brother, and he is related to Cao Gong. You said so"

"That's right." Wei Suo looked at the person in front of him, still a little unsure.

"You also said that if you marry me, when I meet Xiahouyuan on the battlefield, you don't know how to deal with yourself, but?"

"good"

"It is the duty of a soldier to die on the battlefield and wrap his body in horse leather. No matter who the opponent is, he will be in danger of life and death. Could it be that without Xiahouyuan, I will be able to leave the battlefield safely? Could it be that without me, he will be safe in life?"

Wei Suo didn't answer

"Since that's the case, what's your embarrassment?"

"no"

Immediately pass a hand "up"

Wei Suo stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yida's hand and sat behind him, asking, "Where are you going now?"

"Come back home"
