What did that person say? Wei family? Yes, they just introduced themselves.
Wei Xu...
Wait, Wei Xu?!
Everyone's eyes fell on Wei Xu's tall and straight figure, and they all looked behind him at the same time.
Wei Chen, Wei Qing, Wei Yan...
They were all Wei family men who died in battle, how could this happen? !
The guards suspected that it was someone pretending to be someone else, but at this time, the guard on the city wall came over.
The moment he saw Wei Xu, his face changed instantly.
The city gates were wide open.
Wei Xu said sternly: "Put on armor!"
Everyone put on their armor in unison.
Every movement is sonorous and powerful, and everyone's eyes are full of determination.
Wei Xu: "Unfold the flag!"
Gui Bu took the flagpole from the carriage and waved his hand. The Wei family flag with black characters on a red background began to flutter in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The soldiers defending the city were instantly filled with awe.
Several children fell asleep in the carriage.
Li Wan held Wei Xiyue in her arms, listening to her father-in-law's voice that shocked everyone, feeling the movement of armor and war horses, and her eyes became moist little by little.
The Wei family has waited for this day for too long.
Although Su Xiaoxiao has been married for a short time, she has experienced the ups and downs of everyone in the Wei family, starting with Wei Ting.
At this moment, her blood began to boil.
She touched the three little kids who were sleeping in all directions.
Emperor Jingxuan wanted to exterminate all the descendants of King Nanyang.
Since the day they entered the capital, the three of them have been hiding from place to place, not daring to let anyone discover their true identities.
Even though they are so young and seem to understand nothing, they will subconsciously hide when they meet strangers.
They also know in their little subconscious that they cannot see the light.
From then on, they could finally live openly in the sun.
A group of people entered the capital.
For the people in the city, today is just an ordinary day in their long lives.
Until they saw the Wei family’s flag and the shining golden armor under it.
The warhorse slowed down and walked steadily on the long street.
For some reason, the noisy street suddenly became quiet.
The people stared in amazement at the generals riding their horses towards them. The one leading them was wearing golden armor, had a stern face and a fierce aura.
Behind him were four young generals in silver armor.
Everyone was surprised at first, but as they looked, someone in the crowd recognized the Wei family's flag.
"It's the Wei family army!"
A commoner said.
A vendor nearby said, "Didn't the Wei Family Army disband long ago? It disappeared after the war five years ago!"
Another commoner said, "Look at the banner! The word 'Wei' is written on it in such a big size!"
"Is it the Wei family?"
"The Wei family only has the number one scholar Wei and his female relatives. Where can they find so many male descendants?"
"I remember this set of golden armor! It belonged to General Wei Xu! When the Wei family went to war, I saw them off on the roadside! I won't be wrong!"
"Didn't General Wei die in battle?"
"I heard he's not dead."
More and more people recognized Wei Xu, and the streets were packed with people.
A brave young man stood on tiptoe and asked, "Are you General Wei Xu?"
Wei Xu said: "I am."
It really is General Wei!
General Wei is back alive! A young man said, "That's the eldest son of Wei! Behind him are the second son of Wei, the sixth son of Wei, and the seventh son of Wei!"
The companion asked, "How do you know?"
The young man said excitedly, "I recognize their armor! I was there when the seventh son of the Wei family was paraded as the top scholar, and I was also there when he went to war! I know him!"
"That's right, it's Master Wei II!"
Someone recognized Wei Qing.
His appearance has not changed much, but the accumulation of time has made him more dignified and reserved.
There are more tattoos on Guibu's face, and his aura has changed greatly. The young master Wei, who was once handsome, upright and kind, now has become more fierce and decisive.
Wei Liulang took off his mask before entering the city, revealing his face with faint scars.
When we met again, he was in a completely unrecognizable state.
"His hand...his hand..."
An old man looked at the prosthetic limb exposed under the armor plates of Wei Liulang and suddenly couldn't hold back his tears.
The people along the street were all speechless. Many of them had red eyes and wiped their tears with their sleeves.
He was also a child when he went to war.
The old man walked towards the few people tremblingly.
Wei Xu was worried about hitting the old man, so he and his sons stopped their horses.
The old man touched everyone with trembling hands and said with sobs: "It's good that you're back... It's good that you're back..." -In a teahouse, Xiao Duye was drinking tea with his staff.
Suddenly, I saw everyone in the teahouse running out, and I couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
The accompanying guard said: "Let's go and take a look!"
The guard came out of the teahouse and saw Wei Xu and his entourage riding towards them through the crowds of people.
His first reaction was that he was dazzled.
When he heard the crowd shouting "General Wei", he hurried back to his room and stammered, "Your Highness, General Wei... General Wei Xu is back!"
Without waiting for him to mention that there were several young masters from the Wei family, Xiao Duye walked out with a suspicious look on his face.
He squeezed through the crowded crowd and came to the long and wide street.
Although the streets were packed with people on both sides, no one was riding a horse or driving a carriage on the street. All the people spontaneously blocked the way home for the Wei family.
Xiao Duye stared at Wei Xu in a daze, then looked at Wei Chen and others and Wei Ting behind Wei Xu.
His eyes widened instantly.
How...how...is this possible? The royal prince is in front, so he should greet him politely.
Wei Xu did not even dismount from his horse, but said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am in armor and cannot kneel before heaven and earth. I am sorry that I cannot perform the full ceremony for Your Highness."
Xiao Duye opened his mouth, but was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Wei Xu rode his horse and walked past Xiao Duye with his son as if no one was around.
It was not until they had gone far away that Xiao Duye suddenly came to his senses.
Wei Xu returned to the capital, and the dead sons of the Wei family came back to life.
What is going on?
Also, didn't they dismount and salute just now? He is the prince!
What do the Wei family want to do? Do they still have the royal family in their eyes?!
The Wei family members left arrogantly. Xiao Duye gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Go back to the palace! I want to report this to my father!"
The Imperial Palace.
Emperor Jingxuan had just finished discussing important matters with his ministers.
There were another bunch of memorials impeaching Qin Canglan at the morning court today, saying that Qin Canglan was warlike, ambitious, and that raising troops would harm the country. He should be deposed from his position as the Grand Marshal of the Army and recalled to the court immediately.
Naturally, there are also people who excuse Qin Canglan, saying that Qin Canglan is doing this for the prosperity of the Great Zhou for a hundred years. Beiyan has evil ambitions and will come back unless they are beaten to tears.
Emperor Jingxuan was not in a hurry to deal with Qin Canglan. Anyway, he had cut off Qin Canglan's food supply, and there would always be a day when Qin Canglan would bow his head and beg him for food.
What he cares about most at the moment is Wei Xu's affairs.
The envoy who went to southern Xinjiang returned, and the second son also returned to Beijing.
The second son suffered a lot and is still recovering at home.
However, according to the second son and the envoys, they did not see Wei Xu in southern Xinjiang, nor did they hear any news about Wei Xu.
So is Wei Xu alive or dead?
If the Great Zhou was attacked from all sides, he naturally hoped that Wei Xu could survive.
But now, Wei Xu has no value in living, and will instead become a threat to him.
He would not kill Wei Xu. After all, killing a meritorious official would bring eternal infamy.
So he could only hope that Wei Xu would die at the hands of the people from southern Xinjiang.
"His Majesty!"
A young eunuch hurriedly came to the outside of the imperial study, "The city guards have sent news that the Wei family is back!"
Emperor Jingxuan asked: "Wei Ting?"
The young eunuch said, "Also, there is Wei Xu!"
Emperor Jingxuan paused for a moment and asked, "He came back alive... or his body?"
The young eunuch trembled and said, "Alive! Alive! Not only General Wei Xu is back, but even the eldest son of Wei, the second son of Wei... and the sixth son of Wei... who died on the battlefield, are all back alive!!!"
Click.
The brush in Emperor Jingxuan's hand fell.
