“Bang.”
The wooden basin in Cheng Yue'e's hand fell to the ground, and the water in the basin splashed all over the bluestone tiles in the yard.
But no one cares about these little things at this time.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zou Yun and the letter she handed over, their eyes filled with excitement and a bit of disbelief and fear.
They were afraid that they had misheard Zou Yun's words and were therefore disappointed.
"Yunlan, Miss Zou just said..."
"What I just said is..."
Cheng Yue'e's voice trembled.
Wei Yunlan tightly grasped her trembling hand hanging by her side, looked at her red eyes and the tears in her eyes, and said firmly with force in his palm: "Sister-in-law, we have found my brother!"
Cheng Yue'e finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.
Wei Yunlan hugged her gently and patted her on the back.
She knew that although her eldest sister-in-law never said much, she had been under too much pressure all along. She had to take care of little Jiarong and consider Jiayan's emotions. Even if she missed her eldest brother, she didn't dare to say much.
Now that her elder brother's whereabouts have been found, she can finally put the stone in her heart aside.
"Sister-in-law, everything will be fine. Stop crying, Jiarong and Jiayan are still watching." Wei Yunlan whispered in Cheng Yue'e's ear, then raised the letter in his hand, "Let's go into the house first and see what brother said in the letter."
Hearing this, Cheng Yue'e nodded hurriedly, wiped away her tears, and then pulled Wei Yunlan back and walked quickly towards the main hall.
Xiao Jiayan, who was walking over with Cheng Yue'e, finally reacted at this time. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Gao's clothes, raised her head, and asked with some expectation and some disbelief: "Grandma, is Daddy coming back?"
Gao curled up the corners of her mouth and nodded.
This smile was finally much more genuine than the smile he had put on whenever this topic was brought up in the past few months.
Reaching out and holding Xiao Jiayan's hand, Gao's tone was not usually cheerful, "Come on, grandma will take you in and listen to what your father said in the letter."
The Wei family members filed into the main hall. Zou Yun said to Wei Yunlan, "Miss Wei, this happy event is worth celebrating. If there is any inconvenience at home, you can leave later today."
There is still nearly an hour until the pre-arranged departure time.
Wei Yunlan shook his head and said, "Just stick to the scheduled time."
"Well, at one o'clock in the morning, we will wait for Miss Wei outside the city." After saying that, Zou Yun turned around, and before it got bright, he quietly climbed over the courtyard wall in the direction he came from.
The Wei family gathered in the main hall, except for little Jiarong who couldn't speak yet and was led away by Guixiang. The rest of the people sat upright, staring at the letter on the table.
"Sister-in-law, please open it."
Wei Yunlan handed the letter to Cheng Yue'e.
Cheng Yue'e looked hesitantly in the direction of Wei Maolin and Gao, who nodded slightly at her with encouragement in her eyes.
Only then did she muster up the courage to pick up the letter on the table.
As soon as he opened it, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly flipped through the paper, divided the stack of letter papers in his hand into two halves, and handed the upper half to Wei Yunlan.
"Sister-in-law?"
"Yun Lan, these first few pictures... were given to you by Mr. Xiao first."
Under the gaze of everyone in the room, Wei Yunlan looked slightly embarrassed and hurriedly took the letter.
The handwriting on the letter is indeed Mr. Xiao's.
In addition to the matter of finding Wei Mingyi, the content also included the recent major changes in the southwest. When Wei Yunlan saw the name of Qin Zheng, the commander of Yizhou, mentioned in the letter, he was surprised.
This name is not unfamiliar.
In the previous life, the northern barbarian army invaded Dayong. The army stationed in the north was unable to resist and defeat was inevitable. The local garrisons formed their own factions and ignored the orders from the capital and retreated to their own bases.
Only Qin Zheng, the commander-in-chief of Yizhou, who was far away in the southwest, responded to the court's call, gathered troops along the way, and rushed to the capital for support.
When he arrived, the northern barbarian army was attacking the capital.
It was also thanks to the timely arrival of the 10,000 troops he led, who held out outside the city for two days, that Tianshu Pavilion was given more time to lead the people in the city to escape.
Finally, when the Northern Barbarian cavalry broke through the city gate, it was said that the heads of Qin Zheng and his military advisor were chopped off by the Northern Barbarian prince who led the army.
Hanging high on the city wall, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open!
They are true heroes, just like those sincere people in Tianshu Pavilion, who are willing to use their lives to protect the people of Dayong.
If such a person could be accepted by the prince...
"Father, mother, madam...I am writing to you..." Cheng Yue'e held a few pieces of letter paper and read aloud.
It turned out that on the day of the flood, Wei Mingyi was patrolling the river with two of his officers. When the upstream dam broke and the flood came, he stretched out his hand and pushed away two children who were playing on the shore. It was too late for him to dodge, and he was swept into the flood and separated from the rest of the people.
But perhaps God protected him, the flood did not sweep away his life, but washed him to a bank downstream, where he was saved by an old man. The old man's two sons had joined the army, and he and his wife were the only ones at home. However, they had extra money and lived a rich life, which was considered to be relatively good in the whole village.
The old man spent money to hire a doctor and get medicine for Wei Mingyi, and took care of him for several days before he woke up from his high fever and coma.
But at that time, people from Heilongzhai passed by the village and not only robbed the village’s money and food, but also killed all the villagers who tried to resist.
The old man and his wife also died in their hands. However, Wei Mingyi was favored by the third leader of Black Dragon Village because of his good looks. The third leader was reluctant to kill him and brought him back to the team...
At that time, Wei Mingyi was so ill that he could not remember his name, and even his memory of being rescued was a little vague.
The third in command of Black Dragon Village told him that he was his savior and asked him to repay his kindness by "giving himself to him".
Although Wei Mingyi could not remember the past events clearly, he remembered that the "A Yue" he called when he was unconscious was someone else, and it was definitely not the third in command Wu Yue in front of him.
Later, as the people from Black Dragon Village traveled all the way from Tanzhou to Yizhou, Wei Mingyi's memory gradually recovered.
After knowing that Wu Yue was not his savior but the enemy who killed his benefactor, he had been planning to destroy Black Dragon Village and avenge his old man and the villagers.
Mr. Tao, whom he met in the village, had the same goal as him. The two conspired for many days before finally finding an opportunity to reveal the movements of the Black Dragon Village to the Yizhou government, which led to the Yizhou garrison sending troops.
Although the process deviated slightly from the plan due to the fact that Commander Qin was illiterate, fortunately the result was good.
Eventually, it attracted the Crown Prince of Tanzhou, and the effect was better than expected!
