Chapter 599 Let Brother get a headache

Du Wan and Marshal Wei chatted for an entire time in private.

No one knows what he talked about.

Finally, Marshal Wei ordered the withdrawal of troops and the Northwest Army returned.

In just a few days, the northwest changed the weather.

Marshal Wei announced his surrender to the court, and everyone in the Wei family would return to Beijing, including himself. This so-called rebellion seemed to be a cloud of smoke, which appeared quickly and went quickly.

Wei Ge and others were taken down the mountain that day.

After all, they did not dare to act rashly. They stayed on the mountain until nightfall came, and Du Wan did not appear. Instead, they waited for the person who picked them up, which was sent by Marshal Wei.

They will know about withdrawing troops when they go down the mountain.

What ambition is that he is completely lost by Princess Jiaoyang.

Some generals who don’t know the inside story will not be angry at first, thinking that the Wei family is threatened, but just as they are about to make trouble, they are suppressed by familiar insiders. The ones who were captured by Du Wan were not the only ones of the Wei family. They will not be promoted when they are released. However, when relatives and friends come to ask, they will still give some tips.

In this way, under the threat of powerful force.

The people from the upper class of the northwest were strangely quiet.

The generals at the upper level were silent, and no matter how the people below thought, they could only obey the orders.

Du Wan slipped around the key cities in the northwest.

Until early morning of the third day.

Someone saw a person standing on the top of the high observation deck on the city wall. The person standing underground could only see a small shadow, but he could vaguely see clearly that the man was wearing a hat, holding a long sword, and frolicking his clothes.

At such a high place, the man still stood very steadily.

It seems that you should be born to stand on a high place and look down on all living beings.

When the man rubbed his eyes and wanted to look again, the top of the observation deck was already empty.

Du Wan jumped off the city wall from the top of the observation deck.

The soldiers guarding the city were shocked when they saw her and were about to ask who she was.

I just felt like there was a flash in front of me, no one was left?

He hurriedly reported to his boss for such a strange thing.

After hearing about the other party's outfit, the boss silently suppressed the matter and reported it upwards. Then, he reported one by one until the news reached the old marshal's ears.

The old marshal has become much haggard these days, but he dared not fall down and still sits straight with his backbone.

Wei Zhongyuan said: "Father, is the princess showing up?"

"Wait until she comes to the door."

"Do we... really want this?"

"Otherwise, what's going on, do you think?" The old marshal looked sideways at Wei Zhongyuan.

Wei Zhongyuan put his fist on his thigh and clenched it tightly, "The worst thing is that the fish will be defeated."

"Silly! Not to mention that the fish dies, the net will not be broken. So what if the Wei family dies? Who will remember us a hundred years later? Or do you naively think that you will become a hero who is famous in history?"

The old marshal asked Wei Zhongyuan's face turned red.

After a long time, the old marshal said again: "The historical books were written by later generations. Maybe they will record a chapter in the future. The Wei family will be rebelled and the whole family will be destroyed, and there will be more than death."

"..." It's really possible.

Du Wan, who was eating noodles on the street nearest to the Marshal's Mansion, happened to hear the conversation between the old Marshal and Wei Zhongyuan.

Suddenly, the old marshal in the mansion heard a chuckle.

The chuckle was very far away, or it could be said to be very close.

The man was not in the mansion, but the voice came in, "Master Wei is a sensible person."

"..." Marshal Wei's hands, which were swaying on his legs, shook slightly, "County, Princess?"

The old man who shouted this sound was extremely bitter and awe in his heart.

What is this ability? This...

When he was young, he once worshipped an old man from a hidden world as his teacher and asked him to teach martial arts.

Before his death, the master warned him that when he met the children of aristocratic families, especially those with a long history, he would be able to get along well, and he would not get involved in the relationship with him or her.

Master said that ordinary people... can't afford to offend them.

Marshal Wei thought his family was powerful enough and could not be considered an ordinary person.

Now it seems that he was wrong in his understanding at the beginning.

What the master said at the beginning was not worthy of being offended, it had nothing to do with power...

Wei Zhongyuan was the first to know about Marshal Wei’s abnormality, “Father, what’s wrong with you?”

"Didn't you hear the princess speak just now?" Marshal Wei looked at his son.

Wei Zhongyuan was stunned, "No."

"That's nothing. The princess should be nearby. Please let everyone in the mansion pay attention and don't offend the princess." Marshal Wei suppressed the huge gap and bitterness in his heart, hoping that the younger generations would not be afraid of being disgusted with the princess.

Wei Zhongyuan met his father's strange eyes and understood something. He must have happened just now, but he didn't know. Then he followed his father's words: "Don't worry, Father, everyone stayed at home obediently and didn't go out."

“All good kids.”

"Yes, our Wei family has been open and honest all their lives. If they weren't forced to survive, they wouldn't have been rushing to rebel. Now the prince is in charge of the government affairs. I heard that the court has become much more peaceful."

“…”

Next is the father and son, one by one, one by one, and they are full of helplessness.

They said why they had to rebel, how forced they were, and said that the court had not paid military salaries for many years, and the food they sent every year was old and mixed with a lot of sand, so they could not eat it at all. The warm clothes were even more excessive, and there was not even a little warm cotton inside, all of which were grass floss.

Not to mention the medicinal materials sent, they are all inferior and often default.

Every year, when there is a shortage of medicine in the military camp, many people will die.

In the past two years, natural disasters have continued, and the lives of soldiers in the northwest have become even more difficult.

Du Wan, who was eating noodles outside, was eating happily, but she ended up thinking harder and more. As far as she knew, the emperor's uncle had not treated Northwest badly in the past two years.

She didn't know what the food was, but the military pay was definitely not enough. Where did the money go?

With her help, the emperor is no longer short of money and should not be greedy for this amount of money.

Either the Wei family lies, or someone interferes with it, quietly gives the army's salary, and successfully conceals the matter? It's not easy at this time, not something that one or two people can do.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the food, pay, clothing, weapons and other supplies of the military.

Du Wan couldn't help but think of the dead Shangshu Ma.

At that time, Ma Shangshu actually sent someone to assassinate their brother and sister. Not only Du Qian was surprised, but even Du Wan was surprised. You know, in the hall, Ma Shangshu cooperated very well and admitted his conscience quickly. Both of them thought he would be a wise man, but they really didn't expect that he would secretly kill the brother and sister. It was also the time when Du Qian almost had an accident.

Du Qian also made a special investigation again for this.

After learning that it was the fact, Du Wan solved the problem neatly.

Looking back at this time, Shangshu Ma was indeed quite abnormal. Could it be... caused by guilt?

Forget it, send the news back to the capital and let the elder brother get a headache.

?        ?ps: Today’s update is about to end, so I will sort out the subsequent plot. There have been several times when a certain author almost stopped updating. I thought everyone was waiting, but I still held it back. It was really not easy...
