Chapter 201 Puts Pressure on You

The Northwest Mine is located in a remote area. Because of an incident, it was sealed off and few people

care about it. Ge Lao came here as soon as he left the village.

The people of the Wei family army were busy.

Rong Di was dirty and learned that he was coming. He immediately put down the work at hand. Maybe he was very thirsty, he drank two large pots of water in one breath.

"How is the general?"

If he hadn't been assigned something, he would definitely be by Wei Zhao's side to take care of him.

"Everything is fine."

Ge Lao: "How is the mining going?"

"Not enough manpower."

Rong Di: "It has to be slower."

In recent years, most of the mines in Xishan have been dug up one after another. But even so, Rong Di was still surprised when he came to take over.

This is really a wealth of heaven.

While digging, you can still dig up human bones. It can be seen that countless people have died in landslides in recent years.

Yes, the mines are all owned by the court, not privately.

Every time mining is carried out, the one on the throne must give an order and send people to survey the terrain and give corresponding guidance.

What do ordinary people know?

Rong Di spat, "Those officials have big appetites."

Mining privately is all done secretly, so won't something go wrong?

The county magistrate handed the excavated ore to the prefect with both hands. The prefect gave half to the governor and used the other half to bribe people, waiting for his official position to be promoted.

Rong Di: "If I knew the general was interested, I would have taken action long ago. How could it be their turn?"

"Before, the general left me in the blacksmith shop to be responsible for the forging and transportation of weapons. It would be better for Chi Yu to be left by his side and go to the border to fight."

"But this is not because I am not valued."

Rong Di: "Now I am busy, and Chi Yu may not know that the general is alive."

When he said this, he couldn't stop being proud.

"He only knows how to transport coffins."

"Poor thing, when he was in Ze County, the general didn't even mention meeting him."

"People are really incomparable."

In the past, Ge Lao might have to cater to him.

But now...

He looked at Rong Di with pity.

"Really?"

The voice was cold and came from the far right front.

The light in the cave was dim, and the man had restrained his breath, so Rong Di did not notice his presence.

Chi Yu strode out from the darkness.

The first thing he did when he came to Ze County was to see Wei Zhao.

It was Wei Zhao who saw him after he came down the mountain to send Yu Tingwan into the clothing shop.

Chi Yu did not argue with Rong Di, ignoring Rong Di's surprised expression, and said in a businesslike manner: "How many people do you want?"

When he returned to Shangjing, he calmly settled the Wei family soldiers who were traveling with him.

The royal family did intend to recruit them, but the Wei family army was brought up by the Wei family. In recent years, the court's military pay has been repeatedly reduced, and it has been deliberately difficult. It has always been subsidized privately by Wei Zhao. The Wei

family army is only loyal to the children of the Wei family.

Emperor Ying Qian only knew that Wei Zhao was dead and the Wei family had no more heirs. The Wei family army was disbanded, and he, the deputy general, became a decoration.

Chi Yu: "I will call as many brothers as

possible." "Try to empty them out in two months, and three months is the latest deadline."

Rong Di: ???

"Why... are you here?"

Ge Lao: "You asked the wrong question."

He said unhappily: "You should ask him if he was responsible for the general's fake death!"

Since he learned that Wei Zhao was still alive and that he had stabbed himself, Ge Lao felt something was wrong.

As for the coffin, how could Wei Zhao faint and Fu Meng escort him away from the border without anyone noticing?

If there was no one to help, who would believe it?

And this person must be capable to ensure that there was no disturbance and fool everyone.

Rong Di: ? ?

? What?

His eyes widened suddenly.

"You!"

Chi Yu admitted with a knife on his waist: "I did it."

"I prepared the coffin and the replacement body for burial."

Rong Di scolded: "Are you sick?"

"Why did you do that?"

Facing Rong Di's questioning, Chi Yu did not think he was wrong.

The Chi family is also a well-known family. He could have stayed in Shangjing and relied on the protection of his ancestors to get an official position.

But he had been obsessed with martial arts since childhood, and was defeated by Wei Zhao, so he followed him.

After Duke Shun died, he accompanied Wei Zhao to the capital and then went back to the capital again, over and over again.

Obviously everything had changed for the better.

Duke Shun's mansion was more prosperous.

Chi Yu also watched Wei Zhao's tense heart breathe and relax.

But...

ever since the general secretly returned to the capital, I don't know what happened, but when he returned to the border, he became particularly depressed and decadent.

He became less and less talkative day by day.

Until the eve of going to the battlefield.

Wei Zhao came to his side.

[“When you wanted to join the Wei Family Army, your parents didn’t agree. They were afraid that the swords would be blind and something would happen to you.”]

Wei Zhao’s eyes were empty and his voice was particularly ethereal.

[“It’s true that military generals are not afraid of life and death, but they are also mortal bodies. It’s hard for you to follow me through life and death all these years.”]

[“Since your elders are worried about you at home, you should get married and settle down after returning to Beijing.”]

He was confused at the time.

After forcing the enemy back on the battlefield, he witnessed Wei Zhao raising the Broken Cloud Spear in the direction of Shangjing.

He was not far away from Wei Zhao, and he could obviously stop him, but he didn’t step forward, but covered him.

“The general doesn’t want to live.”

“He has his reasons for everything he does!”

Chi Yu: “I follow the general’s lead, is there anything wrong with that!”

As for Fu Meng carrying people away, Chi Yu still thought it was Wei Zhao’s order.

The general must not want to be buried there.

Then him! Of course he has to cover up!

Rong Di wanted to take action.

But...

Rong Di: "You are right."

If it were him, he would do the same.

Don't question the general, whatever he does is right.

Rong Di: "But why didn't you tell me."

It made him cry bitterly! He cried all day.

Chi Yu frowned and said coldly: "It's true that I care about the general, why should I care about you?"

Rong Di:...

"That's right."

He humiliated himself.

He and Chi Yu don't have a good relationship.

Ge Lao was simply convinced.

I thought the two could fight.

But Rong Di reacted like this.

The general's left and right arms are not very smart.

Ze County.

Yu Tingwan walked into the house reluctantly.

Wei Zhao was half sitting, and the quilt on his body slipped down. He didn't look at Yu Tingwan, but lowered his head and fed rice to Qingya carelessly.

But his thin lips moved.

"All night?"

"It made you so happy?"

Wei Zhao said faintly: "You haven't even tried it, and you know it?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

She knew that Wei Zhao's self-esteem was at work, and he would hold a grudge.

She walked closer: "It's my fault."

She said too harshly to Wei Zhao.

"I put pressure on you."

Yu Tingwan: "But I'm doing this for your own good."

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows and finally looked up at her. Just look at what nonsense this girl can say.

Yu Tingwan sat down beside him: "It's one thing that we can't do it, but we can't let others look down on us."

Wei Zhao: ...

He pulled the corner of his lips.

Yu Tingwan was afraid that he would be cold, so when she bent down to twist the quilt for him, the back of her hand was covered with warmth, and her fingertips were gently kneaded by him.

It was obviously a normal action.

But he moved closer, just nose to nose.

The breath intertwined, tender and silent.

Wei Zhao had calluses on his hands because of martial arts training. When their skin touched and rubbed slightly, a strange current passed through, bringing numbness.

Yu Tingwan's eyes trembled.

Later she realized that what she told Liu Yan seemed to be... wrong.

Wei Zhao's voice was beside her ear, as if it was spoken close to her ear.

"My hands can do a lot of things, but you can't do them yourself."

"I didn't do it because I was afraid of scaring you, and I was afraid that I couldn't help myself."

Wei Zhao smiled: "Do you want to know what it is?"
