Wei Zhenyuan has been operating at the border for more than ten years. Except for the Hanguguan camp, he must have his own secret operation. This place is Jiupanzhai. After their defense was breached by the army's plan, the remaining remnants retreated there.
Now the soldiers on the mountain are headless, and Wei Zhenyuan is injured and cannot move for the time being, so Wei Ling can only go back to preside over the overall situation.
Wei Ling didn't stay at Cheng's house much, and left with someone the next morning, leaving only Meng Ji and the captain named Yu Dazui.
These two were both civil and military. If Meng Ji was a shrewd man who loved to use his brain, Yu Dazui was a reckless man.
Wei Zhenyuan's arrangement is actually very meaningful. First, they need to keep a low profile. Yanger Village originally had an outsider, and it was easy to be noticed. Didn't even dare to show up.
Second, Cheng Duo is an unusually sturdy person. When he is not in the mood to kill, it is not a problem to hit ten, not to mention that he uses all his strength.
Wei Zhenyuan actually admires Cheng Duo very much in his heart. If this man is his soldier, he will definitely support him, but he is his brother-in-law... His good brother himself is not rare enough. It was already someone else's home.
Therefore, Wei Zhenyuan has a complicated feeling for Cheng Duo. Just like most father-in-laws, no matter how much he appreciates it in his heart, he still has to dislike it on the surface.
Especially in front of Brother Yong.
That night, Brother Yong sat alone at the table to settle the accounts. Because there was a discrepancy between the records in the account book and the amount of copper coins in the cash box, Brother Yong took an abacus and dialed it back and forth, and kept saying something in his mouth: "It's still ten less. Wen, where did I remember wrong?"
Cheng Duo didn't say a word, and after helping to string the coins, he sat aside and drank tea, leaving Brother Yong to worry alone.
Wei Zhenyuan on the couch couldn't take it anymore: "Brother Yong, you've done it three times, it's only ten cents, don't look for it if you can't find it. I don't believe that some people dare to stand in front of Lao Tzu for ten cents of money. It's embarrassing for you!"
After he finished speaking, he glared at Cheng Duo, and the object he was referring to was obvious.
"No, the accounts should be clear and unambiguous! Otherwise, today's ten cents, tomorrow's one hundred cents, and the day after tomorrow, one thousand cents!" Yong Ge'er refused righteously, not understanding his belated old father at all. Caring.
Wei Zhenyuan suffocated: "Then, that father will assign you an accountant from his hands. You are the young master of the Wei family, so you don't need to do these trivial matters in person."
"Brother Cheng said that the premise of asking for the accountant is that you want it yourself. You can understand it, otherwise you won’t know if you’re blinded by the people below.”
It was Brother Cheng who opened and closed his own little brother, Wei Zhenyuan felt sour in his heart and couldn’t help but say, “You brother Cheng knows everything, why doesn’t he come by himself? Manage?"
"I just started learning. Brother Cheng asked me to manage accounts for my own good. Besides, I only manage adobe accounts. If I don't understand this account, how can I help Brother Cheng manage the entire brick and tile workshop in the future? "
After Brother Yong finished speaking, he turned his head to seek Cheng Duo's affirmation. Cheng Duo saw that his cheap father-in-law was speechless and touched his head with a smile.
"..." Of course Wei Zhenyuan knew that Brother Yong was right, and Cheng Duo was also doing it for Brother Yong. According to the information from the people he sent, before Cheng Duo's appearance, the two sons of Yong Ge'er's adoptive father had bullied him enough. He was too busy to make a living. How could he have the opportunity to read and manage accounts?
And if Cheng Duo just saw Yong Ge'er's face, he only needed to hide him in the backyard to serve him after getting married. Now, he is working hard to teach him knowledge and etiquette, to teach him to manage his family business, and to do his duty even more than his own father. Wei Zhenyuan faced this man who slapped his own little cabbage. He was happy to be good to Brother Yong, but he was also sour; he was not good to Brother Yong, and he might not be able to help but want to destroy him... just like Yong Brother's two brothers, if they have the ability, stay in Yu Fangshan and don't come back, otherwise he will definitely let them taste the taste of being bullied by others!
Cheng Duo saw that he was almost done, and gave the cheap father-in-law down the stairs at the right time: "Brother Yong, General Wei is right, you have done the calculation three times, and there are always ten articles in and out. I can't find it in the accounts of the day, at this time What should I do?"
"Look for the one in front!" Brother Yong's eyes suddenly lit up after his prompting: "Ah, why did I forget, I lost ten wen for Aunt Da Zhuang the day before yesterday, and I will make it up for her today. It's up!"
Brother Yong turned forward as he spoke, and found that he had indeed made a note the day before yesterday, and immediately became happy: "Brother Cheng, look, I found it!"
Wei Zhenyuan couldn't help but pick on the prick again: "He I must have known it for a long time, I would rather sit and drink tea than tell you."
Brother Yong frowned, and finally found that his father was deliberately targeting Brother Cheng, and dissatisfied: "Brother Cheng has taught everything he should teach, he doesn't say anything. It's also to train me. My abacus is not good in the first place. It's easier to do it a few more times!"
"Why are you always targeting Brother Cheng? He even saved your life. If you keep doing this, I, I'll call Brother Hall to pick you up and leave."
Brother Yong lowered his face, lowered his head and wrote the accounts unhappily, refusing to look at Wei Zhenyuan again.
He thought that this biological father loved him, but as a result, he kept destroying his relationship with Brother Cheng!
He has such a good husband as Brother Cheng, so he doesn't care about his biological father!
Wei Zhen Yuan saw that Brother Yong was serious, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed: "Brother Yong, Dad didn't do it on purpose, Dad was just afraid that he would treat you badly..."
"Brother Cheng treats me well!" Brother Yong stared fiercely. Glancing at him, he touched his eyes again: "When you didn't show up, Brother Cheng was the best person to me besides my father."
Wei Zhenyuan was directly stabbed in his heart, don't look at him in Brother Yong In front of him, he had the cheek to call himself his father, but in fact Brother Yong refused to call him, and he felt uncomfortable.
Now that he saw Brother Yong wipe his eyes again, he immediately became at a loss: "Then, the night I came, what happened when he said he wanted to punish you?"
"?" Brother Yong is confused, what is Brother Cheng? Is it time to punish him?
Instead, Cheng Duo coughed awkwardly and looked at Brother Yong. In an instant, Brother Yong seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and his white face quickly turned red.
He, he remembered! This punishment is not another punishment, it is the boudoir interest between him and Brother Cheng!
"You heard it wrong, how could Brother Cheng punish and punish me!" For the sake of Brother Cheng's reputation, Brother Yong bravely squeezed out a sentence.
My brother and his husband were flirting with each other, and his face turned red after a while. Wei Zhenyuan didn't understand it at first, but when he saw the two husbands, one was embarrassed, and the other had a stern face and couldn't see his expression. But after a while, Wei Zhenyuan realized that Cheng Duo, such a calm man, had a faint blood in his ears...
Wei Zhenyuan's eyelids jumped, and he began to feel embarrassed before he knew it, and he also coughed lightly: "Yes, yes, then That's good, Dad misunderstood."
Then he looked at Brother Yong carefully: "Brother Yong, don't be angry, Dad apologizes to you, okay? Dad won't do it next time."
"You have to apologize to Brother Cheng." Yong Brother is a talkative brother. Seeing Wei Zhenyuan's low voice, his heart softened again, but he still asked him to apologize to Cheng Duo.
Wei Zhenyuan knew that he was careless, his brother-in-law's status in his brother's heart was not generally high, and he could only do it wisely.
Cheng Duo didn't take it to heart. First, Wei Zhenyuan just found his biological brother, and he couldn't help but want to make some noise to attract his attention; secondly, Wei Zhenyuan had already accepted him, if he didn't treat him as his own, he wouldn't Will pick his thorn face to face.
This guy is just like an old child now, let's make a fuss, his brother Yong has a way to treat him!
While Wei Zhenyuan was recovering from illness, Xidu really became chaotic. A small group of Rongmen began to enter and loot. Even the bandit gangs that used to only rob caravans began to be restless, pretending to be Rongmen to make trouble everywhere.
Soon rumors spread in the western capital that the Rong people entered the pass because the Wei army was defeated at Hangu Pass. From the death of the soldiers to the death of the soldiers, and the fleeing, the main general Wei Zhenyuan, along with his confidants, all disappeared.
Later, there was a gossip that Wuwei general Yuan Kui found evidence that Wei Zhenyuan was betraying the enemy, and this defeat was probably intentional.
Wei Ling received the news and came to Wei Zhenyuan on horseback overnight to discuss: "General, this incident must be a trap. Yuan Kui showed evidence so quickly, obviously he had prepared it long ago, and the purpose is to keep us speechless!"
They At this moment, it is death to emerge, and it is death not to emerge.
Wei Li spit: "Damn, fortunately the general is wise, otherwise we might have been silenced if we fled back to Xiling after the defeat!"
"General, what should we do?"
Wei Zhenyuan shook his head silently, He Kuntai Tibetan Great, the only roster that can be used as evidence has been handed in by him. With He Kuntai's prudence, he will never stay again.
And the so-called "evidence" that Yuan Kui brought out must have been written by the Rong people. Today is just an eleven or twelve year old child. Empress Dowager Fu and the family are busy fighting with each other. Either party wants to win over He Kuntai. It is difficult for them to come out with concrete evidence, let alone nothing?
"At this moment, shouldn't it be time to send someone to get back to your family before He Kuntai lied about the military situation?" Cheng Duo said suddenly.
Wei Zhenyuan and Wei Ling were shocked at the same time, Wei Ling said: "What do you mean, Cheng Duo?"
Cheng Duo calmly said: "The imperial court is dull, and even the generals guarding the border have surrendered to the enemy. Do you have any other choice?"
Cheng Duo is regarded as It was obvious that his cheap father-in-law and brother-in-law were either condemned to death for treason, or they could only rebel. And as soon as they die, Brother Yong's identity is likely to be hidden, so they must not go down that road.
The rest of the generals looked at each other, although they thought Cheng Duo was a little shocking. But after thinking about it, the left and right are all dead, and the ants are still alive, not to mention they still have family members.
Thinking of this, five or six generals were loosened: "General!" "General..."
Wei Zhenyuan smiled wryly. The Wei family has been loyal and good for generations. Could it be that a hundred years of fame will be buried in his hands?
Don't say that his father Wei Laohou is still alive, just say that his four brothers who died will jump up from the coffin in anger?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Brother Yong became a little nervous: "Dad?"
Don't blame him for being cunning and calling someone at this juncture. His husband has said that, if his father doesn't agree, then Brother Cheng will be in danger.
Wei Zhenyuan was really excited: "Brother Yong, what are you calling me?"
Brother Yong pursed his lips, and after the first sound, it was easier to speak later: "Father, you will do as Brother Cheng said, right? Cheng? Brother never does anything unsure, can you trust him once?"
Wei Zhenyuan suffocated, and his brother's elbows turned out of the gate, so he finally called him Dad, it was for his husband!
However, Brother Yong begged him. Wei Zhenyuan thought that he was dying to see him for the last time, but in the end he became a drag on Brother Yong... How can this be done!
He looked at Wei Ling, and Wei Ling's eyes flickered: "General, don't look at me. When I came out, my grandfather said, let's act according to the opportunity and don't stick to the rules of the court."
Wei Ling didn't think so at the time, but now Then again, his grandfather might have expected this day. He has lived for such a long time, and he has never seen anything. What's more, of his five sons, now there is only one uncle left, and he is the only grandchild.
It can be said that he has devoted his life to Da Xia's duties, and has not left anything behind.
Wei Zhenyuan was a little shaken, but thinking of the disparity in the strength of the two sides, he could only smile bitterly.
There are 170,000 or 80,000 lions in the northwest, and their Wei family army now has less than 20,000 people left. How can they win?
"Father-in-law, I wasn't joking when I said I helped you kill He Kuntai. Although he is a general with many guards and generals around him, he must leave the camp, right? As long as he dares to come out, I will be sure to kill him. ." The
main general is dead, and the rest of the people are much easier to subdue.
Seeing that Wei Zhenyuan didn't believe it, Cheng Duo asked him to reject the others, leaving only his eldest brother-in-law Wei Ling: "I'll show you something."
"What?" Brother
Yong had already guessed it, and was moved to hold him. His hand: "Brother Cheng."
Cheng Duo deliberately joked: "Your father accepts this, he will never have the confidence to trouble me again in the future."
Wei Zhenyuan glared at him, did Cheng Duo want to get a wine bottle and let him stop ? He is dreaming!
Wei Zhenyuan immediately thought of the white jade wine bottle that Cheng Duo took out when he was treating his injuries. That thing, including the wine bottle, should be worth 1,800 taels. However, he may have underestimated the cost of raising the army. The annual military cost of Chaotang is at least several hundred thousand taels!
