760 A talented maternal relative
As night deepens, the weary poor simply want to sleep soundly to relieve their fatigue and forget their rumbling stomachs. Only when asleep can one truly feel no hunger.
Many people are destined to have a sleepless night!
Sergeant Wei quickly returned to his neighborhood. His small courtyard, with three rooms, was already densely packed with makeshift structures, along with two additional simple thatched huts. Every available space had been utilized.
These two simple rooms were where her two sons lived in the summer or when the weather wasn't cold.
Now that my son is all grown up, there are only three rooms in this house, which is not enough, but there is nothing I can do about it!
You could go to the more remote outskirts, but that's even less safe.
As for purchasing from within the royal city, Lao Wei had never even considered it.
Rice is expensive in the capital, let alone houses; how difficult it is to build something so large!
Old Wei himself was already considered lucky, since although he was far from the city center, he still had a courtyard where he could live in peace. Because of this, even though his family was poor, his son's marriage had been arranged long ago.
They were all colleagues in the military. The woman's family background was average, but they were familiar with each other.
I'll just wait until next year when I'm old enough to settle down and start a family before looking for a job!
The opportunity is right in front of you tonight!
Elder Yun's voice was like thunder, awakening countless people from the same era. The general they once admired had returned, still as domineering and powerful as ever!
The shouts that echoed throughout the royal city were filled with disdain and mockery!
However, it also awakened the memories of former comrades-in-arms.
A former hero from the common people, he was once domineering and powerful, and time has not changed him; now, he has only gained more vigor.
As if the earth and sky were shaking, a leader finally emerged, and dragons and tigers led the way, so that everyone could be like dragons and tigers.
Old Wei rushed home with lightning speed, pounding on the wooden door. His voice was low and urgent: "Quick, quick, check the door! Are Rui'er and Xiao Hai home?"
"Yes, yes, Father, we're all here!" Hearing her father's familiar voice, now filled with urgency and concern, it was clear that something urgent had happened.
The two sons, who had been awakened by Yun Lao's voice, had already gotten up and were looking around in the yard. Upon hearing the voice, they quickly opened the wooden door.
"Father, what happened!"
"That sound was terrifying!" said the eldest son, Rui'er, with a hint of nervousness and curiosity.
Old Wei hurriedly explained, there wasn't enough time, and quickly said, "Hurry up and put on your shoes and grab your rifles."
After a moment's thought, he whispered, "Attach the muzzle too!"
The eldest son, Wei Rui, was slightly taken aback, but immediately said, "It's Father!"
The spear, a wooden spear, is a long spear used for combat drills in the army, but the spearhead is made of iron and is used to kill enemies on the battlefield.
Seeing his two sons quickly put on their shoes, attach their gun barrels, and stand in front of him, he was momentarily dazed.
Nodding slightly, he was quite satisfied and said in a low voice, "Tonight, General Yun will be in charge of the northern district of the royal city, which is the area where we live."
I'm going to another team soon. You'll be following Brother Tang and obey his orders. Do exactly what he tells you to do; don't act on your own.
Looking at his wife standing silently and patiently waiting at the door, he felt a pang of guilt.
He continued, "Starting tonight, all areas within the northern district of the royal city will be under the jurisdiction of Elder Yun. This is a rare opportunity, so you will participate in this operation today and join in legitimately."
This is a rare opportunity, a task that will certainly be risky tonight and in the days to come. If you are afraid, lay down your spears now, and I will not blame you.
Looking at their youthful faces, Old Wei felt a pang of reluctance. He had been racking his brains trying to figure out what jobs to prepare for them next year.
This royal city is no less populated than before, and jobs were easy to arrange then, but now jobs are difficult to get done.
Tonight is the opportunity. The northern region of the capital will definitely be reshuffled. Some deals that have long been displeasing to General Nian Qiangguo have been viewed with displeasure, but his actions have affected too many people and he can hardly resist them. He can only maintain order in his own small area.
Now that Elder Yun has spoken, there's no need to worry about the pressure; it will probably be completely eliminated tonight.
A cornered dog will jump over the wall; a cornered rabbit will bite!
I'm going to report for duty tonight, and I'm taking the time to come back so that my child can seize this incredible opportunity and legitimately arrange his future job.
If the two are afraid, they will not be overly criticized, after all, they are still children and have not yet reached the age of marriage.
"Father, we're not afraid!" came the almost unanimous reply, their voices resolute and firm, like those of adults who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen the ways of the world. Now that the opportunity was before them, they seized it without hesitation.
'Good, as expected of the Qilin of my Wei family, quick, let's go!' A hint of satisfaction and envy.
But there was no time for further words. He glanced quickly at his wife and whispered, "Lock the door. Don't open it for anyone. Wait for us to come back!"
Before he finished speaking, the person was already at the door!
"Yes, my husband!" Old Wei's wife hurriedly closed the door, peering through the crack at the father and his two sons in the distance, tears streaming down her face, hoping for their safe return!
All that could be heard was Old Wei's hurried knocking on the door, "Old Han, Old Han, get up! You must have heard that Elder Yun came down from the mountain to take charge today."
The message just came from above: if you are not injured or disabled, or if you have a suitable male in your family who is willing, go find Hu Laosan immediately.
I'm leaving, could you please let them know?
Old Wei hurried on and found Old Han's comrade-in-arms, who had lost an arm, but still looked as imposing as ever when he wielded a knife!
Old Han hurriedly opened the door. Before he could even speak, he nodded repeatedly and looked at the anxious Old Wei, saying, "Thank you, General."
I understand, Lao Wei, you go quickly.
Don't worry about this, I'll notify the others right away, and I'll take some willing people to find Hu Laosan shortly!
Old Wei clasped his hands in a deep bow and immediately took his two sons and left first!
The sound of running footsteps was like the hurried pace of warhorses, or the rushing flow of a mighty river.
The area north of the royal city is vast, but the army is concentrated in only one of the rear areas.
The effeminate nobleman, the spring night was too short, the beauty in his arms, now had hideous eyes and a broken neck!
His face, filled with fear, was a constant struggle against dread.
Wan Liuxiong, a relative of the Wan family and a young master who is attached to the Wan family, is a powerful figure in the northern region. Although he cannot afford to offend many, he can still enjoy himself every night.
With a gentle wave of the hand, servants skillfully carried it away.
Wan Liuxiong's face was sinister, as if he wanted to vent the resentment he felt during the day when the young masters of the Wan family were fawning over him.
He muttered to himself, 'The bloodline of the Wan family cannot be allowed to flow outside. Otherwise, if the direct descendants of the Wan family find out, they'll probably laugh at me. At that point, I, a distant relative beyond the fifth degree of kinship, will be abandoned!'
