Chapter 305 Heading to Feishui
"Brother, you..."
Before Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Yue had already pulled her and said hurriedly: "You go pack your things, I'll go explain to my uncle, we'll leave immediately."
Zhang Yue had no intention of eavesdropping.
When he came back today, he heard that a high-ranking official from the capital had come and asked for Xu Yuan by name.
Zhang Yue was afraid that there would be trouble in making a wish, so he came here.
Just then I heard Xu Yuan talking about the Battle of Feishui.
The soldiers at Feishui were all brought by him from the capital, and he had a deep relationship with them. The reason he left Feishui for the capital was because the bandits had been almost wiped out.
Now that his brothers' lives and deaths were uncertain, Zhang Yue couldn't bear it for a moment.
After making a wish and returning home, he immediately packed his clothes and dry food.
When I was carrying the bag out, Zhang Yue also came back.
Xu Wenxian watched Xu Yuan carrying his bag, with thousands of words in his heart, and only sighed: "Yuan'er, the battlefield is not like the officialdom, you must protect yourself, you are very concerned about your brother, understand?"
Xu Yuan nodded, "I know, father, don't worry."
"When a child travels a thousand miles, it is inevitable that he will worry. But your father believes in you, so go and do what you want to do."
Xu Yuan rode on the horse, and when he heard Xu Wenxian's words, he couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Father, I will be back."
Xu Wenxian nodded.
Zhang Yue took the bag, got on his horse and left without saying anything else.
The two men moved quickly, and by the time Zhang Qingyu and Wen Shufang chased out, Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue had already left.
Wen Shufang said, "These two kids, what's wrong with saying a few more words if you want to leave? Why are you in such a hurry?"
After complaining, she couldn't help but say, "I didn't say to pack two more clothes, bring more food, and bring Yuan'er. She is a girl, how can she go to the battlefield?"
Wen Shufang sighed repeatedly, complaining in her words, but her tone was full of worry.
Xu Wenxian did not answer, but lowered his head slightly and said: "I'm going to the government office and will be back later."
-
Chen Shan waited in the yard for a long time, but Xu Yuan never came back.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he simply knocked on the door and asked, "Is Miss Xu back?"
The person who opened the door was Zhang Qingyu.
Chen Shan had lived nearby for several months, and the few people were familiar with him, so Zhang Qingyu did not hide it and said directly: "Yuan'er went to Feishui."
"what?!"
When Gongzi Qin, who had just left, heard this, his voice suddenly rose: "What is Miss Xu doing at Feishui?"
One is Sishui County, the other is Feishui City.
One is in the northernmost part of Tianqi, and the other is in the southernmost part.
Even if you travel light or as fast as you can, it will still take more than a month.
Xu Wenxian said, "Come in and talk."
Chen Shan and Gongzi Qin looked at each other and followed him into the yard.
Xu Wenxian said, "Yue'er was fighting bandits at Feishui before. Today, I heard that Tianqi and Nanxing were fighting and Feishui was lost. I was a little worried about my former brothers, so I decided to go with them."
Xu Wenxian evaded the main point and continued, "I have already gone to the government office to resign today, and the school has been handed over to the county magistrate."
Chen Shan asked: "Why is this?"
Zhang Qingyu and Wen Shufang also looked at Xu Wenxian.
However, they always listened to Xu Wenxian and took Xu Wenxian as their leader, so they didn't ask why.
"I want to go back to Beijing." Xu Wenxian straightened his sleeves and said, "The sky in Sishui County is too small. Yue'er should go to a better place to show his talents. Now I am still young. If I take the national exam, I can get a job. If Yue'er returns to the court one day, it will be helpful to him."
After Xu Wenxian finished speaking, his voice became lighter, and he continued, "What's more, the Xu family's case has been vindicated, and my father, brothers, and sisters are still alive. People always want to return to their roots. I have been wandering outside for several years, and it is time for me to go back."
Xu Wenxian's voice seemed a little distant.
He thought about this matter for a long time and wanted to say it out loud several times, but swallowed it back.
Until today, Xu Yuan’s departure gave him the strongest motivation.
He wanted to leave Sishui County and return to the capital.
There lies the future of the two children.
Chen Shan thought for a moment and asked, "If that's the case, how about I escort you to Beijing?"
"I know what Master Chen is worried about, but since I have already thought about it, I have a plan to deal with it. Those old friends in the capital will at least give me some face."
"Mr. Qin and I were ordered to protect Miss Xu. Now that Miss Xu has left, I have to return to the capital to report. It's not a big deal, we can go together."
After Chen Shan finished speaking, he glanced at Gongzi Qin and said, "You go chase Miss Xu and Master Zhang. I'll go back and pack my things and leave Sishui tomorrow."
Gongzi Tan did not dare to delay and immediately said, "Okay."
The two of them left after talking. Wen Shufang said, "Wenxian, are we really going to the capital? What about the fields? What about the land? And the crops..."
Zhang Qingyu was also a little hesitant, "Yes, our home is here too."
Zhang Qingyu has never left Sishui County in her life. She dares not and does not want to leave.
"Today, Yue'er told me that Yuan'er has someone she loves, but the social status of the two is so different that she can only go back to Sishui County. I have also noticed these days that Yuan'er's heart is not in Sishui County. She has done so much for me as a father. If I had done it back then, she wouldn't be so depressed today. No matter what, as a father, I have to fight for her."
Zhang Qingyu was silent.
After making a wish, he was unwilling to see the matchmaker.
She also guessed that Xu Yuan had someone he liked, but she never thought that this would be the reason.
"But, but this is all we have, we..." Wen Shufang was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Now in Sishui County, their family is considered well-off.
Even so, they still cannot be compared with the dignitaries in the capital.
Xu Wenxian said, "In fact, there is more than one reason. When Yue'er went south to suppress the bandits, he was about to return to the court when he suddenly received a secret letter from the capital saying that the prince had killed Yuan'er. He rushed to the capital in a panic, and it was exactly what the people with ulterior motives wanted. He was imprisoned as soon as he arrived in the capital. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, he would have returned that day with two corpses."
"It's fine if others bully me, but don't let them touch my children. If I don't go back and fight for my two children, the same thing will happen countless times. The two children can escape this time, but what about the next time? Do you really want Chen Shan and Gongzi Qin to protect Yuan'er for the rest of his life?"
After hearing Xu Wenxian's words, Wen Shufang and Zhang Qingyu fell silent.
Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue came back, and although they didn't say anything, they could see that a lot had happened to both of them.
But they never thought it was such a serious matter.
The courtyard fell silent.
After a long time, a sigh was heard from inside the house, and Zhang Yue's father Qing Yi came out and said, "Wen Xian is right. Although Yue'er didn't say it, as a father, I can see that he wants to establish a career. Yue'er is stubborn. If he goes to the capital, who knows how others will plot against him. For the sake of the child, we should go."
Zhang Qingyi finished speaking, still looking worried: "But, if we go to the capital, where will we live and what will we eat? Besides, I heard there is no land in the capital..."
If I don't go to Beijing, I will be worried about my two children.
Going to the capital city was even more troublesome for them as they had to work hard in the fields. Food and accommodation became a problem.
"Don't worry, big brother. I will make arrangements when we get to the capital."
After Xu Wenxian finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said in a fainter voice: "Pack up your things tonight, and we will leave for the capital early tomorrow morning."
