don't fight the general

As dusk fell and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the earth, Cui Wei reined in his horse at the intersection of the official road and looked towards Yunzhou City in the distance.

Familiar place, similar weather, after a few months, the situation has turned upside down.

He hurried all the way back to Yunzhou, and he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the capital along the way.The Holy Majesty passed away, and the second prince Yan Cong rebelled. After the Suwei army resisted for more than a month, they finally fell in isolation and helplessness. The Empress Cui fell into the hands of the rebels. Cong intends to pursue, but the rebels in the southwest are gradually approaching the capital, making him no longer distracted.

At this time, this kind of news is considered good.Although Yan Jing and Yan Jue disappeared, it was considered excellent news if they had not fallen into the hands of the rebels. As for Cui Qiao... as long as people are still alive, there is still hope.

Fu Yue patted his horse forward, stopped beside Cui Wei, followed his gaze towards Yunzhou City, and couldn't help but sighed softly, and then comforted him in a low voice: "I'd better go back to the camp first after traveling all the way." Let's take a rest and discuss the follow-up matters later."

"En." Cui Wei replied, staring at the high wall of Yunzhou City, he could see a thin figure standing on it in a trance, looking at him tenderly, "Fu Yue, you said Brother Jing... ...where will it be now?"

"I don't know," Fu Yue replied frankly, "but Yan Cong's own strength is limited, and he has no power after leaving the capital, and we are in the northwest, so as long as we leave the capital, we are safe. It’s just that it must be inconvenient to take a child on the road, but it will always come back.”

Cui Wei wrapped the reins around his hands a few times, turned his gaze and glanced at the mighty but exhausted army behind him: "Take everyone back to the camp first, I will go to the city."

Fu Yue was stunned and couldn't help calling his name, but when his eyes fell on his face, he still couldn't bear it.Since they got the news in Beiliang King City that day, they have been running all the way back, and Cui Wei himself has been sleepless... All his worries are in the capital, and now the good and bad are unpredictable, how can he rest.

Fu Yue can still recall Cui Wei's expression when they heard that Yan Jing was also recalled to the capital during the serious illness of the sage.From the perspective of a bystander, one can feel Cui Wei's worry.

Fu Yue hesitated for a while, thinking about the current situation, and returned to the army in time, Cui Wei probably still couldn't rest, so he nodded and said softly: "Then you should be more careful, if there is no news, don't be too urgent, first When we return to the army, we will discuss it in the long term."

Cui Wei hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled at him, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.In those eyes that were always clear and pure, there were too many emotions hidden at this moment because of too many burdens.He waved his hand at Fu Yue, turned his horse's head around, waved his whip, and headed towards Yunzhou City without looking back.

Once again, the picture was ingeniously similar to the day of the expedition, but this time, there was no handsome and handsome figure leaning against the city wall waiting for his arrival under the city of Yunzhou.

In fact, Cui Wei knew in his heart that there would be no news about going to the city. He sent people back to Yunzhou in advance. Apart from knowing that his mother and other family members of the Cui family had arrived in Yunzhou a few days ago and settled down, there was no one else. A little other news.No one knows where Yan Jing is now, and no one knows when he will be able to return to Yunzhou.

But Cui Wei still wanted to go to the city to have a look, other than that, he didn't know what else he could do.

No matter what the current situation in the Central Plains is, and no matter who owns the capital, it seems to have no effect on Yunzhou City, which is thousands of miles away. It is still as quiet and peaceful as ever. Compared with when Jing was wandering around the city together, there is no difference.

For ordinary people, it may not matter whose hands the world will end up in. All they can care about is whether their current peace can be maintained.

Cui Wei walked through the city leading his horse. He intended to see the young and old in Cui's mansion, but he still came to the gate of Prince Rui's mansion unknowingly.

The scene a few months ago is still vivid in his memory, for Cui Wei at this moment, there is a kind of inexplicable cruelty.In the past few days, he asked himself more than once, if he had known all about today, would he have gone to Beiliang without hesitation that day?

But the final answer is still yes. It will be a matter of time to fight Beiliang. If this opportunity is missed, Beiliang will become a serious problem for Wei in the future.However, Cui Wei thought, he should be able to handle it better, at least to give some protection to the people he cares about in the capital when he leads the army out.

But a lot of things were unexpected. Emperor Yongchu was as cunning as Emperor Yongchu, and he couldn't predict what would happen today. Cui Wei was really good at marching and fighting, but he was really lacking in judging the situation and people's hearts.

He didn't expect to have a chance to do it all over again, he only hoped that there would be room to make up for it, so that the people he cared about could escape by chance and give him a chance to protect them again.

Cui Wei hesitated at the gate of the palace for a long time, and finally couldn't help but knocked on the door. The porter opened the door and came out. Seeing this familiar young man, he was startled at first, and then said in surprise: "This, this, this...Young master, you have been here for a long time." In the future, did you come to see our Highness?"

Cui Wei felt his heart beating violently when he heard those two words, and couldn't help but look inward: "Your Highness, he..."

"His Royal Highness went to the capital earlier, and he hasn't come back yet!" The concierge couldn't help but said, "I heard that the capital is in chaos now, and there is no news of His Highness. Everyone in the mansion is very worried. How can you help me, my lord?" what news?"

Cui Wei lowered his eyes slowly, and shook his head lightly: "I also... have no news, so I want to try my luck."

The concierge couldn't help sighing: "Hey, I hope that my highness will be safe and sound."

Cui Wei clenched his fist hard, then let it go slowly: "Yes."

He pulled the rein of the horse and turned the horse's head. The porter was stunned behind him: "Sir, won't you come in and have a seat?"

Cui Wei shook his head: "Wait for your Highness to come back, and wait for him to invite me."

Cui Wei led the horse, and walked towards the city gate in a somewhat distraught manner. The sky had gradually darkened, and the pedestrians and vendors who came and went on the street had dispersed one after another, and each returned to his home.But only Cui Wei suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go.He also didn't want to go back to Cui's house anymore, his elder sister was trapped in the imperial city, Yan Jue was missing, and he didn't know how to explain to the old and young in the mansion.

Seeing that the city gate was right in front of him, and the closing time was getting closer and closer, Cui Wei sighed slowly, just like what Fu Yue said, it is better to go back to the camp first, and then make a long-term plan.

He led the horse out of the city gate, and was about to get on the horse, when suddenly a carriage rushed straight up from the official road, so startled that Cui Wei took the rein of the horse and took two steps back, but he still hadn't recovered However, the carriage stopped a few steps away, a slender white hand lifted the curtain, and a cold and pale face appeared in Cui Wei's vision.

Cui Wei seemed to have been drained of all his strength, he stood motionless on the spot, watching the man get off the carriage and come to him step by step.A few months have passed, this face that often appears in midnight dreams has become extraordinarily haggard, with slightly protruding cheeks, and light blue stubble on the chin. Xiang Zi's eyes, which always contained a gentle smile, were bloodshot, but when his eyes touched Cui Wei, he raised the end of his eyes upwards, revealing a slight smile.

Yan Jing was still holding Yan Jue in his arms, and came to Cui Wei step by step, his eyes were slightly flushed, his lips were smiling slightly, his eyes were fixed on Cui Wei, his Adam's apple trembled slightly, and after a long time, he let out a soft sigh : "I've heard about the battle in Beiliang. Although there are ups and downs, it's okay. My general has returned safely."

Cui Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was water in his eyes. He raised his head slightly, and met Yan Jing's eyes, with all kinds of emotions lingering in his heart. He opened his mouth, and finally just called out in a shy voice: "Brother Jing..."

A few months ago, he led the army to go out, and Yan Jing went out of the city to see him off, and it was here that the two of them parted.Cui Wei was terrified and had mixed feelings on the way back, but he never expected to meet Yan Jing here again when he was almost desperate.

In the past few months, too many things have happened in the northwest and the capital. The two of them have experienced countless dangers, and they have escaped from death to meet today.Cui Wei didn't know how many words were backlogged in his heart. He wanted to ask Yan Jing if he was well, and even more wanted to say sorry to him - he had promised to keep Yan Jing comfortable and comfortable in this life, but left him alone to experience all kinds of ups and downs.

But in the current situation, he couldn't say anything, he just looked at Yan Jing motionlessly, just like Yan Jing didn't do anything, just looked at him quietly.

Yan Jing fled all the way from the capital to the northwest, a few guards, and a baby who knew nothing. The hardships involved are beyond words, but the only thing that can calm his mind is the rumors he heard on the road——Xuanping Hou Cuiwei He led the Northwest Garrison to severely injure Beiliang, killed the king of Beiliang, and returned with a big victory.

He once thought that he had lost everything, but he didn't expect to get it back once.

Now seeing this person standing in front of him safe and sound, the heart that had been hollowed out seemed to be slowly filled.

Yan Jing thought, God still left him a way out after all, for the rest of his life, he at least saw a little hope.

He took a step forward, hugged Yan Jue who was sleeping peacefully with one hand, and put the other on Cui Wei's shoulder, leaned slightly, leaned closer, and touched Cui Wei's forehead, feeling the warm body temperature of the young man, couldn't help it Letting out a soft sigh, the shock along the way, and the exhaustion of running for days appeared before him, so that he couldn't help closing his heavy eyelids, and just like that, he fell on the young man with Yan Jue in his arms.
