Chapter 52: The Bandit Soldiers Are Coming

Wei Feng's advice undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance, and his eyes were full of gratitude. In the rain, accompanied by the neat footsteps of the army leaving the city, Wei Feng's singing came with the wind, a little desolate and tragic, and full of ambition and passion: "When we see the wind and rain in the city, Wu meets the golden swords, the emperor's carriage turns around, the river gallops again, the lonely phoenix heads to the west sea, the flying geese bid farewell to the north sea, and therefore it is vast, and we wave to thank the Gongqing!"

Everyone was shocked and all exchanged surprise eyes. Chu Shuang couldn't help but stroke his beard and praised: "This poem is magnificent and contains ambition to show great success. General Wei expressed his ambition with poetry, which is different from the current Xuanyan landscape poetry. If General Wei abandoned Rong and followed the literature, he would not be inferior to Guo Pu, Sun Chuo, Xie Anshi, Tao Qian (Tao Yuanming), and perhaps it is not impossible to become the ancestor of his own poetry and prose!"

Mrs. Chu then praised: "Xuanyan landscape poems are whining without any illness, empty and full of depressed spirit. My ears are about to be called out. General Wei is moved by emotions and takes a unique approach. He is truly a talented person!"

Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Lingyuan with admiration and ordered: "Lingyuan, you are not allowed to have any other thoughts. Apart from the identities of many high-ranking scholars and ladies, what other things do you have to compare with? You are not allowed to look down on this and that. Your marriage is settled. If General Wei can get his scholarship within three years, it would be okay if you wait for him for a few more years!"

"Mother! When will the little girl wait? Could it be that he will be a poor family for the rest of his life, and the little girl will wait for him for the rest of his life? And isn't the second brother following him? Even if the little girl doesn't marry him, he won't turn against him, right?" Chu Lingyuan was about to cry in grievance, and hurriedly shook Mrs. Chu's arm without hesitation.

For Chu Lingyuan, since the family has decided to marry her to Wei Feng, she has nothing to say. The noble women of this era have all the awareness of dedicating themselves to the family, and at most they are not happy. They will regard this life as ruined. They recite scriptures and worship Buddha more and live a life, hoping to marry a good man in the next life, but what scares her the most is that they lose the Red Pill. What should they do if they can't hand over the Red Pill on the wedding night? If you tell me frankly, don't mention whether you have the face to say it, it's still a question whether this person will believe it! Which woman in the world will take her Red Pill? Isn't this a big deal?

Mrs. Chu didn't understand Chu Lingyuan's entanglement at all. She glared at her with dissatisfaction and said bluntly: "Empress Mingmu (Yu Wenjun) was 24 years old and married Emperor Xiaoming. You are only sixteen years old this year. Why are you anxious about? In short, my mother is optimistic about General Wei. From today on, anyone will come to ask for a marriage to her!"

Chu Lingyuan knew that her mother had a deep affection for Wei Feng, so she turned her attention to Chu Shuang for help.

To be honest, if Wei Feng could really obtain the status of a gentry, Chu Shuang would be willing to take him as her son-in-law. Although Wei Feng used all means and killed people without blinking, thinking from another perspective, does not this exactly mean that this person's strength? After observation in recent months, Chu Shuang also agreed with Mrs. Chu's assertion that Wei Feng is quite self-disciplined.

The Chu family is already obviously weak and needs a strong backer as support. More importantly, the Chu family cannot escape Wei Feng's control. That day, it pushed back the marriage of King Langya and invisibly guilty Sima family. The threats and dissatisfaction in Kong Dao's words are still vivid in his mind. He should use his daughter to Wei Feng as a talisman.

In-laws are in trouble, but Wei Feng ignores them and will always be despised by the world! So Chu Shuang nodded and said, "Lingyuan, your temper needs to be changed. If you get married, you have to learn how to be a wife with your sister-in-law!"

Suddenly, all Chu Lingyuan's luck was completely shattered. Women of this era could not have reason to strive for happiness for themselves. She just felt that her mood was just like this gloomy weather, full of haze!

Chu Lingyuan's lost expression fell into Chu Shuang's eyes and didn't take it seriously. As for her daughter, what else can she do if she doesn't want to marry and seek a blessing for the family? He just glanced lightly and called out: "General Wei vowed to go on an expedition to fight against the court to quell the rebellion. All we can do is to guard the city and ensure that Yangxian will not cause trouble. Okay, everyone will go back, everyone will do their duty and soothe the people. Never get up! I will take one step first and say goodbye!"

Chu Shuang bowed to everyone and took his wife and children to the mansion.

Time flies, and in a flash, three days passed. After Wei Feng left Yangxian, he dispersed the scout alert and marched day and night, heading south along Zhenze (Taihu Lake), bypassing various cities and gentry manors in Wuxing, and arrived on May 13th, in the northern bank of Zhejiang, which is Qiantang County (now Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province).

Wei Feng immediately ordered the entire army to cut wood and build rafts, and did not dare to delay at all. You must know that the distance from Shangyu to Shanyin is less than a hundred miles. Once Sun En finished his rest, he would be able to reach Shanyin in one or two days. However, Wei Feng's three thousand men had to cross the river and still had to travel 150 miles. Time was extremely urgent, and thanks to the daily devil training, the whole army was exhausted, and gritted his teeth and could barely support it.

Yangxian, the city was also full of tension. The news that Sun En gathered to rebel had already spread throughout the city, and various beasts were even more vivid. For example, in order to practice immortality, Sun En, eating the hearts and livers of boys, and also specially insulted the girl before she arrived in order to absorb the pure yin energy of the virgin. The thieves under his command were also lewd and plundered, and did everything they could. Anyone who did not follow the thief and did not hand over his wife and daughter's property would be killed without mercy! According to well-informed people, traces of thieves appeared in the neighboring Wuxing and Yixing eastern part. Two counties were already under the thief's hands, and thousands of people in the two cities were slaughtered, which made Yangxian even more nervous!

On this day, the rain and rain for several days have temporarily stopped. At noon, the sun shone directly into the earth through the broken clouds, evaporating the water vapor, making it sultry and unbearable. Chu Shuang's family was sitting in the pavilion to rest. The faint sound of military orders made everyone feel heavy and they lost the interest in speaking.

A sudden burst of rapid footsteps came from a distance, and everyone couldn't help but look up. A guard covered in clothes was approaching quickly, which made everyone feel heart-warming!

The guards came near and hurriedly bowed: "Report to the Lord of the House, more than 10,000 bandits have arrived at the East Gate of Yangxian. General Jiang's special mission is to report, please don't worry!"

There are tens of thousands of people at the first time. How can we not worry about this? But as the leader of a county, Chu Shuang also understood the importance of visiting the front line in person, so she suddenly stood up and gritted her teeth and said, "It's true that I'm here, I'll go and have a look!"

Mrs. Chu hurriedly said, "Chu Lang, let's go up to the top of the city to take a look, otherwise, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you will always feel uneasy!"

Chu Lingyuan also said, "My mother is right, the little girl is going to go too, to see if there is any thief who is fierce!"

Chu Shuang was speechless for a while. At this time, she was still acting cute, but she didn't care about scolding her and waved her hand impatiently: "Let's go, go, go, go, you can go, you can gain some knowledge!" As she said that, she took a quick step down.
