Chapter 75 The Master is Back! The Master is Leaving!
September 25, Wei Mansion.
At noon, Wei Changtian slowly got off the carriage surrounded by the crowd.
He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he left, and he looked... fatter than before.
Good fellow, although he was in prison, except that he could not get out, he did not suffer any injustice! He ate the best food from the mountains and the sea, and drank the finest wine.
All I do every day is eat and sleep, how can I not get fat?
It can be said that apart from occasionally worrying about whether Qiu Yun had been rescued and how he would judge her, Wei Changtian basically had the most relaxing days since he traveled through time.
He was quite satisfied with the final result.
Qiuyun was rescued.
He was exiled to a remote frontier.
Please note that this does not mean being exiled to a remote frontier as a soldier.
There is a huge difference between the two.
"Son, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Caizhen's voice rang in her ears, and the plaque on the gate in front of her remained the same.
"nothing."
Wei Changtian smiled and stepped over the threshold.
Grandpa is back!
…
Although Wei Changtian has returned temporarily, he will leave again soon.
According to the final "verdict", he was required to leave Beijing within three days, and his destination could be any of the 17 border cities, but he was not allowed to bring his family with him.
This is understandable.
After all, it means "being exiled to the frontier", not "going to the frontier to enjoy life".
The three-day period starts from today, so Wei Changtian still has two days to deal with various matters in the capital.
When he returned to his yard, three old hens jumped up and down and gave him a warm welcome.
They don't know what their owner has been through, they just wonder why no one has fed them rice in recent times.
I walked into the inner room amid the sound of "cuckoo, cuckoo" of chickens, and saw Qiuyun lying on the bed, looking at me with tearful eyes.
"Young Master!"
The sound was very faint, and judging from the trend of his movements, he seemed to be trying to stand up.
"Lie still."
Wei Changtian quickly pushed her back, turned around and said to Lu Jingyao and Yuan'er who had followed him back from the prison:
"You guys go out first. Qiuyun and I will be alone for a while."
"yes."
The two girls nodded and quietly left the room.
They actually had a lot to say to Wei Changtian, but they also knew that they should give the opportunity to Qiu Yun first.
The door closed gently, Wei Changtian looked at Qiuyun and smiled, "I heard that you will be able to get out of bed in a few days?"
"Um."
Qiuyun nodded, recalling the rumors that Yuaner had told her.
Most of these rumors discuss why Wei Changtian wanted to kill Liu Yuanshan.
One version says that it was to avenge her.
Qiuyun didn't know what Wei Changtian wanted, but when she thought about the mica that even the emperor didn't give to her but the young master found from somewhere, she always felt that this matter had something to do with her.
Thinking of this, tears began to fall from my eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying again?"
Wei Changtian wanted to wipe Qiuyun's tears, but before his hand reached halfway in the air, it was grabbed by a small hand.
Qiu Yun cried while tightly holding Wei Changtian's hand, and said intermittently with sobs: "Sir, why are you so good to me?"
"I, I'm just a maid. My life is worthless. If I die, I die..."
"Stop!"
Wei Changtian frowned, and his tone suddenly became serious: "If you don't take your own life seriously, then why did I risk my life to get that mica for you?"
"I……"
Qiu Yun immediately realized her slip of the tongue.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just used more force with her hands, as if she was afraid that Wei Changtian would get angry and leave.
But Wei Changtian was not actually angry, he was just a little helpless.
He knew that in such a world, the idea that "people are divided into high and low classes" was deeply rooted, and he did not expect that a few words would be enough to make Qiuyun understand what "created equality" meant.
"Qiuyun..."
After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian changed his words to something more acceptable and continued, "Although you are a maid, you are my maid."
"Besides, you are my woman."
"You should know that based on this alone, I would dare to kill not only the prime minister, but even the emperor."
"Young Master!"
Hearing such outrageous words, Qiu Yun hurriedly reached out to cover Wei Changtian's mouth.
However, Wei Changtian grabbed her wrist with a serious look.
"I'm not kidding. So what if he's the emperor? He's not as important as you in my heart."
"You, Yuan'er, my father, my mother, Qiaoling...you are the ones I care about."
"I can do a lot for you, but I don't want these things to be meaningless."
"Do you get me?"
“…”
Qiu Yun stared at Wei Changtian in a daze, and after a long while she nodded very solemnly.
"Sir, I understand... I will live a good life from now on."
…
After coming out of the room, Wei Changtian immediately went to Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen.
Although Wei Changtian has gained a lot of weight in the past ten days, both of them look more haggard than before.
Poor parents in the world.
In the secret room, the three of them first discussed the question of where they would be "exiled" to, and soon reached a consensus - Shuzhou.
From Wei Xianzhi's perspective, Shuzhou is Liang Zhen's territory, and there will be people to protect him there, so his son will at least be less likely to get into an accident.
From Qin Caizhen's perspective, Shuzhou is the territory of the Tianluo Sect. Once there, there will be people to protect her, so her son will at least be less likely to get into an accident.
From Wei Changtian's perspective, Shuzhou is Xiao Feng's small map for the next stage. There are system points to be earned there... At the same time, with Liang Zhen and Tianluo Sect protecting him, at least he won't be prone to accidents.
The three of them hit it off immediately, and after confirming this matter, they talked for a while about the Wei family's future "development path".
The Inner Guard and the Flowered Feather Guard will be separated from the Xuan Jing Division within three months, one will be incorporated into the Imperial Guard, and the other will be returned to the Censorate.
Although the Xuan Jing Si still retained one guard and three offices, losing the Hua Ling Guard meant losing the enormous power to "supervise all officials."
Such a "power seizure" was a huge blow to the Wei family, but Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen did not regret it.
To be honest, even if Ning Yongnian offered the entire Xuan Jing Division in exchange for Wei Changtian's life, they would probably agree.
In fact, if Wei Zhaohai had not stepped forward, Ning Yongnian would have really planned to take over the entire Xuan Jing Division.
It can only be said that the second-grade master still has enough face! After discussing for a long time, the three of them finally determined the sixteen-character "development policy" of the Wei family in the future.
Keep a low profile, sow discord between Liu and Xu, keep an eye on Shuzhou, and keep a way out.
Therefore, Wei Changtian went to Shuzhou on this trip, ostensibly to be punished, but in fact he was still shouldering the important task of "opening up new land" for his family.
"Son, when you arrive in Shuzhou, go to Tianluo Sect first to meet your grandfather and give him this letter."
Qin Caizhen handed over an envelope as she spoke.
The grandfather of Wei Changtian she mentioned was none other than the leader of the Tianluo Sect, Qin Zhengqiu.
"Mom, I understand."
Wei Changtian nodded and put the envelope away. When he looked up again, another envelope appeared in front of him.
It was the "life-saving letter" that I gave to Wei Xianzhi that night.
It seems to be of no use at the moment.
"father."
Holding the envelope in his hand, Wei Changtian thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you read this letter?"
"No."
Wei Xianzhi's eyes were somewhat complicated.
He indeed did not read the letter, but when he thought that the value of the contents of the letter was actually equivalent to that of the two guards of the Xuan Jing Division, he felt a little uneasy.
"Changtian, I know you are hiding something from me and your mother."
"Since you don't want to talk, we won't ask."
"But you must remember to be extremely careful in the future!"
"Shuzhou is not the capital. You have to make your own decisions on many things. We can't help you..."
“…”
This was the first time Wei Changtian saw Wei Xianzhi being so talkative.
He listened to the whole thing, then hesitated for a long time, and finally put the "life-saving letter" back on the table.
"Dad, you should keep this letter."
"If the Wei family encounters any major crisis in the future, it is better to show the letter to Ning Yongnian directly, and they should be able to get through it."
“…”
Wei Xianzhi stared at the envelope in stunned silence for a moment, then patted Wei Changtian’s shoulder heavily.
