Chapter 332 Farewell
The cold wind whistled like a howling ghost, the bare branches struggled and twisted painfully in the strong wind, and the branch-like lightning flashed in the distance, as if to tear the black curtain apart, illuminating the This dark valley.

After the rumbling thunder, the pouring rain fell from the pitch-black sky, hit the ground, and splashed water. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or blood, and it snaked along the road to the distance.The wind was filled with a strong smell of blood, which could be heard clearly even miles away.

At the foot of Donglin Mountain, corpses were lying all over the place.All of them had ferocious faces, glaring and canthus teeth, and they would not rest in peace.These invincible sons who fought in all directions did not kill them on the battlefield, but died tragically under the frame of their compatriots. The deep hatred was expressed in the final form.

Among the corpses all over the ground, suddenly there was a figure, struggling to get up from the ground, staggering over one after another, familiar or unfamiliar corpses, as if looking for something.On the other side of the valley, there are shadows, as if many people have rushed over from a distance, murderous intent is everywhere.

After a while, they seemed to realize that there were still people in the valley who hadn't died yet, so they screamed, and in the dark they shot their bows and arrows, and in an instant, countless arrows shot from all directions in the valley.

A flash of lightning pierced the sky, covering the entire front in day-like brightness. A soldier stood among the piles of bones with disheveled hair and blood all over his body. The cold rain poured on him without any cover. Blood water spread from under his body to the surroundings, washed by the rain, and finally flowed into the nearby soil ditch.

His body was full of arrows, and he looked like a hedgehog covered with needles. Most of his face was hidden in the helmet, and only his long dead gray hair stood out.

"Wei Que—" Luo Tiandu yelled, and woke up suddenly, gasping for breath, his face full of fear.

Even though it was mid-winter, she was covered in cold sweat and drenched her clothes.

It was already late at night, and the room was pitch black. She raised her sleeves, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her heart was beating hard.

Although everyone said that Wei Que was dead, Luo Tiandu couldn't believe it. How could Wei Que, who was so arrogant and domineering as a God of War, die so tragically at the foot of Donglin Mountain?
She felt that it must be Wei Que's blindfold, he must have managed to escape, hid in some mountain, and was waiting for someone to rescue him right now.

The scene in the dream just now was so vivid, as if it happened right in front of her eyes, she couldn't bear it anymore.Whether it is dead or alive, she must go and see for herself before she gives up.

She has always been an actionist. Originally, when she knew the news of Wei Que's death, her first thought was to go to Donglin Mountain to look for him. Now she had this nightmare again. She couldn't bear it anymore. She jumped out of bed and hurriedly cleaned up. After flipping through, I cleared out a few pieces of usual change of clothes, packed a bag, took out the treasure box containing my belongings, took out the cash inside, took out two silver notes, and put the silver in two. Scattered and hid the banknotes on her body, then put the burden on her shoulders, hugged the treasure box in her arms, regardless of the darkness outside, led the little mare Wei Que bought for her, and walked away My son trotted to Luofu.

"Dang-dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! It's dry and foggy, beware of candles."

The sound of the watchman calling the watch came from a distance, and it was already the fifth watch.

When we arrived at Luo Mansion, the entire Luo family was pitch-black, with no lights at all, only two lanterns hanging at the gate, creaking in the cold wind, and the dim yellow candles in the fire cage were restless. Jumping, lighting up a palm-sized area in front of the door.

Luo Tiandu got off his horse, buckled the copper ring on the door, and knocked vigorously twice, shouting while knocking: "Open the door! I'm back."

Xu Shi fell into a deep sleep, and it took a long time before he heard movement inside, followed by Zishu's yawning voice: "Who is it? Staying awake in the middle of the night disturbs people's slumber."

"It's me." Luo Tiandu called through the door.

Zishu was stunned when he heard that, he even opened the door and said, "Little lady, why are you back at this time?"

Luo Tiandu threw the reins at him, and walked back holding the lily box.

Zishu was confused, looked at the small bundle on the horse's back, and said to himself, "What's wrong?"

In the backyard, Luo Baisu heard the sound and got up. Although he didn't have to go to court in the morning, he had to go to the yamen every day to get up, so it was time to get up at this time.

As soon as he moved, Fang Shi also woke up, asking: "What time is it?"

Luo Baisu was wearing court clothes, and said, "It's still early, you go to bed, I'll go out to eat breakfast by myself."

Recently, Fang was very worried about Wei Que. She couldn't sleep all night, and her spirits were much worse. Even so, she struggled to get up and said, "I'll go make you some breakfast."

After finishing speaking, he put on his clothes, lit the lamp, and walked out the door. When he saw a figure standing in the courtyard at some point, he couldn't help being startled. He raised the lamp in front of him and asked, "Who is this?" Their family doesn't have as many rules as other officials' families, and the yard is always full of maids and daughter-in-laws. She and Luo Baisu never leave anyone in the yard.

"Mother, it's me." Luo Tiandu responded.

Fang was taken aback: "Xiaodu? Is that you?"

Luo Baisu also came out when he heard the voice, and asked, "Who's here?"

"Xiaodu is here." Fang turned around and said in a daze.

Luo Baisu also raised the lamp, saw that Luo Tiandu's expression was a bit wrong, and said, "Xiaodu, why are you here at this time? Is something wrong?"

After all, it is the girl's business that is important. When Fang saw Luo Tiandu, she didn't go to make breakfast herself. She asked Xiqiao who came in to make breakfast. She dragged Luo Tiandu into the house and found that Luo Tiandu was cold. It's cold, it's very cold, and I can't help nagging again: "You child, how long have you been outside? Your clothes are frozen, come in and get warm."

There was a kang burning in the house, and Fang didn't pay much attention to it, so she let Luo Tian sit in the warmest position on the kang, wrapped her tightly with a quilt, and poured a cup of hot tea that had been heating on the stove , and handed it to her: "Hurry up, drink some hot tea to warm your stomach."

Luo Baisu frowned and said, "What's the matter with you? You came from the Wei Mansion in the middle of the night?"

Luo Tiandu put the treasure box into Fang's arms and said, "Mother, keep this for me."

Fang opened it and saw that there were several land deeds inside, as well as some treasures and jewelry, which looked very expensive, and knew that they should be rewarded by the palace.

"What are you doing?" Fang asked in surprise.

Luo Tiandu took a sip from his teacup, recovered his breath, and said calmly: "I'm here to tell you two, I'm planning to go to Donglin Mountain to find Wei Que, I only have these valuable things at home, I'm afraid I'll lose them , so bring it here and ask your mother to keep it for me."

"Ah?" Fang was dumbfounded, and said angrily, "Are you crazy? What are you going to do in Donglin Mountain? There is a war over there now, are you going to die?"

Luo Tiandu said: "I know that Wei Que must not be dead, Wei Que is so good at martial arts, and he grew up in the mountains and forests, so he must have hidden somewhere where no one else can find him. I'm going to find him. "

When Fang heard this, her heart ached.Why are her two children so miserable?She just said that Luo Tian has good eyesight and picked a good son-in-law, but this happened, and now even this child is bewildered.

"Xiaodu, listen to me, I know that your son-in-law is dead, and you feel very sad, but you can't leave me and your father alone and run to seek death?" Fang's voice was choked up.

Luo Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, I'm looking for Wei Que, so why did I go to seek death?"

Luo Baisu also said: "The court's decree has come down, there must be no mistakes. Xiaodu, people can't be resurrected after death, you should think about it."

Luo Tiandu stubbornly said: "I know he is not dead, even if he is dead, I will still find his bones."

Luo Baisu was furious, but when he thought that Luo Tian had experienced the saddest thing in the world these days, he couldn't hold back his anger no matter how angry he was, and softly persuaded him: "Master He of the Ministry of War has already set off for Yangxia Pass. Dad greeted him as early as when he left Beijing. If there is news about his son-in-law, he will let us know. Xiaodu, it's so cold outside and it's snowing everywhere. Aren't you the most afraid of the cold? Listen to Dad If you don't want to, just stay at home, and if there is any news, Dad will definitely tell you."

Fang also said: "Xiaodu, listen to your father, it's so chaotic outside, you are a woman, and you will be of no use there if you go there. If there is something wrong with you, you are killing me. Is it? Xiaodu, mother begs you, for the sake of mother and your eldest sister, you should stop thinking about it and stay at home. Huh?"

Luo Tiandu gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I don't trust people in the imperial court."

The fact that Wei Que's life and death are unknown now is caused by the court's intrigue and scramble for power. The princes, emperors and grandchildren dare to plan clearly, what else can't they do?The fourth prince is dead, but there are still several princes and grandchildren in the palace. Even if the eighth prince and Wei Que are not dead, except for the emperor and empress, no one else in the palace will want them to come back. Bao Buqi was not at all worried about how many people among the people sent by Emperor Tianqi got the secret order to kill the two of them.

It's not that Luo Baisu didn't think about it, but the news of Wei Que and the Eighth Prince's death was sent by a side report, and the side report would not be false. Luo Tian firmly insisted that Wei Que was still alive, even if it was this The child and Wei Que are deeply in love with each other, they can't accept this reality for a while, and they are just deceiving themselves.Furthermore, even if Wei Que was not dead, he would never let Luo Tiandu go to the border at this time, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Luo Tiandu said: "Father, I know you are worried that I am alone and it is not safe to go outside. I am not alone, someone will accompany me. I still remember when I went to Chunning City to pick up my eldest sister, I followed me there. Those two young generals? Wei Que left them in Shangjing, I will let them accompany me to the border, they are both skilled in martial arts, they will definitely protect me along the way."

"It's not okay to be accompanied by someone." Luo Baisu still flatly refused, "Even if there are thousands of troops to protect you, I can't let you go to the border at this time, it's too dangerous."

Luo Tiandu said: "Father, mother, whether you want it or not, I will definitely go to Wei Que. I am here today to tell you two elders."

Luo Baisu said angrily: "If I say no to go, then no!"

"Father, mother, what's the matter? Xiqiao said that Xiaodu is back, where is she?" Luo Mingdu heard Xiqiao say that Luo Tiandu was back, and hurried to find someone, just in time to hear Luo Baisu roaring loudly, Can't help being surprised.When her father was facing the family members, he always had a pleasant face and rarely spoke so loudly.

Luo Baisu didn't have time to explain to her, and said: "Mingdu, you came just in time, accompany your sister to her room to rest, no matter what happens, she is not allowed to leave the room for half a step!"

He knew that Luo Tiandu had always been very courageous, and if he didn't keep her locked up at home now, if she was not careful, she would really leave Luo's house and go to the border.

Luo Mingdu has always been obedient to Luo Tian, ​​but at this time, he hesitated for a moment, and persuaded him: "Xiaodu, listen to your father, the border is too dangerous now, you can wait until the battle is over before going, when I I will go with you, and I will definitely bring my brother-in-law back." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she felt that her little sister was really pitiful, and she was just newly married!The husband-in-law died outside.

Luo Tiandu said: "Sister, I'm afraid Wei Que won't be able to wait until that time."

Luo Mingdu also felt sad, although she sympathized with Luo Tiandu very much and cared for her heart, if something happened to Qi Jin when she and Qi Jin were in love back then, she would go to Qi Jin desperately, but now Luo Baisu's Her complexion was really ugly, she quietly tugged on La Luo Tiandu's sleeve, and said: "Xiao Du, you must have not slept well since you came so early, let's go to the room to rest first."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Luo Tiandu's struggle, he dragged her out.

With Luo Mingdu's strength, Luo Tian can easily break free, but she has always raised this eldest sister as her daughter, and she is not willing to be rough on her. Secondly, Luo Mingdu is too thin and skinny now. It seemed that she couldn't bear it.

Luo Mingdu dragged her into the room, closed the door, and said: "You take a break, I'll make you breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

Luo Tiandu shook his head: "Sister, I can't eat anything, and if I don't find Wei Que, I won't feel at ease."

"If... if brother-in-law, he really—" Luo Ming didn't say the words behind, but the meaning is self-evident.

Luo Tiandu firmly said: "I want to see people in my life, and I want to see corpses in my death. Even if he is trampled into mud by Beiliang's war horses, there will always be clues. As long as he is still alive, no matter whether he is injured or disabled. , I will bring him back home, and if he dies, I will bring his bones back, and I will never let him throw his body in the wilderness. Sister, I have made up my mind, you can't stop me."

Luo Mingdu glanced at her, and went out without saying a word. After going out, Mrs. Fang came over and locked the door with a big brass lock.

Luo Tian felt powerless for a while, and after a while, Fang brought someone over again, and with a few crackles, he nailed the window from the outside, and said, "Xiaodu, I know you won't be able to listen to what I say now." , you just rest at home, and I'll bring you breakfast later." It was as if she wanted to lock her up.

Luo Tian was speechless for a while, and was about to pick up a chair, and smashed the window out, when he heard the sound of a lock being unlocked outside, then Luo Mingdu came in, handed her two silver tickets, and said, "Father has gone to the government office , Niang is taking Zijin to the Master's place, now, let's go."

"Eldest sister..." Luo Tian was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected it.

Luo Mingdu smiled and said: "If it were me, I'm afraid I would go out to look for him like you. My brother-in-law is a good man, Xiaodu, you must bring him back."

Luo Tiandu nodded, hugged her vigorously, and then walked away without looking back.

There were two silver-armored young generals standing outside the door, and when they saw her coming out, they said, "Mrs. Wei."

Luo Tian whistled once, and saw the filly come running out "scrambling" and snorted at her.

Luo Tiandu got on his horse, glanced at Luo Mingdu who sent her out, and Fang Shi who hid behind the door and thought he was hiding a secret from no one to see, then turned around and walked away with a hard heart.
