I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives
Chapter 55 Danger Surrounded
In the temple, Chen Jia leaned quietly against the head of the bed, his face as pale as snow, but his eyes were still sharp and alert.
Chen Jue paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety and anger.
At this time, the Duke's confidants hurried back to the temple.
His face was covered with sweat and fatigue, but he held a piece of ponytail tightly in his hand. The confidant walked quickly to Chen Jia and Chen Jue and presented the ponytail to them.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the ponytail, and they saw that there was still a piece of wire remaining on it.
The iron wire glowed eerily in the dim light, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the iron and copper wires were double-wrapped around a familiar material.
Chen Jue recognized this material at a glance. It was a material commonly used to cast swords, spears, and farm tools.
Looking at the remaining horse armor, some of the fuse was faintly visible on it.
A chill surged in Chen Jue's heart, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
Chen Jue clenched his fists tightly, "He is determined to kill me!"
When Chen Jia looked at the evidence, she couldn't help but think of Wei Lang.
Fortunately, Wei Lang sent her out at that time, and out of caution, he left her with Wei's personal guards.
These guards really lived up to expectations. At the critical moment, they discovered something strange and acted decisively, specifically snatching back the horse that was struck by lightning from other people.
If it weren't for their decisive actions, we might not even be able to find these key evidences now.
Now it seems that when I was escorting military supplies with Wei Lang, it was a very correct decision to guard the post stations and the people along the way.
After all, people’s hearts are hidden, and no one can predict what will happen. We can only be careful and act cautiously.
Speaking of the post station, the more Chen Jia thought about it, the more he felt that the post station was also very strange.
After all, the war horses and some supplies were temporarily transferred at the post station. Could there be some conspiracy hidden in this?
"Brother, we can't ignore the clue of the post station. It may contain the answers we need."
"Sister, should we send another person to the post station to investigate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
The brother and sister looked up and saw Wei Lang rushing over, exhausted.
Chen Jia opened her eyes slightly, looked at Wei Lang, and asked softly: "Rui Qing, why are you here?"
Wei Lang did not answer immediately, his eyes were fixed on Chen Jia.
His eyes were full of tension, worry and fear.
His clothes were a little disheveled, his hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that he had been in a hurry.
Suddenly, Wei Lang took a big step forward and hugged Chen Jia directly.
His movements were somewhat hasty, as if this was the only way to confirm that Chen Jia was still alive.
Wei Lang hugged Chen Jia tightly, his body trembling slightly.
His heart was filled with fear. If he didn't watch out for a moment, someone would kill Chen Jia without leaving any trace. This fear overwhelmed him like a tide.
All kinds of terrible scenes kept appearing in his mind. If Chen Jia really met with an accident, he didn't know how he would face it.
These days, after Wei Lang learned the news that Chen Jia was in trouble, he fell into extreme tension and anxiety.
He cared about Chen Jia so much that he was going crazy with calmness.
He couldn't imagine what his world would be like if he lost Chen Jia.
From the moment he learned the news, he rushed over without stopping and stayed up all night.
He had only one thought in his mind, which was to see Chen Jia as soon as possible and confirm her safety.
Wei Lang hugged Chen Jia and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..."
His words were full of affection and attachment, and his arms were warm and solid.
Chen Jia could feel Wei Lang's nervousness and concern.
She patted Wei Lang's back gently and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Wei Lang slowly let go of Chen Jia, looking at her pale face, his heart aching.
He gently stroked Chen Jia's cheek and said, "I will never put you in danger again."
Chen Jia smiled and nodded gently. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring. Although it was a little weak, it was full of emotion.
Wei Lang stood in front of Chen Jia, tears glistening in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Yi Yi, I have asked for permission to have Huan Yi check all the post stations along the way and all the military arsenals, and make sure to investigate the lightning strike thoroughly. I will never allow such a danger to happen again."
Chen Jia listened quietly to Wei Lang's story, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She didn't expect that Wei Lang would think of going with her, and she was pleasantly surprised by this feeling of mutual understanding.
She looked at Wei Lang, and the light in her eyes became softer.
"Rui Qing, it must be very hard for you to rush here from Kyoto."
"As long as I can see you safe and sound, it's all worth it."
"It took four days from the time I got into trouble to the time you came here. Could it be that you..."
"I haven't slept a wink in the past three days and three nights. In addition to personally confirming your physical condition, I also want to tell you that I have applied to His Majesty to be personally responsible for the logistics of all supplies in Xia Pi, and to let you and Chen Jue be my deputies."
Chen Jia couldn't help but admire that Wei Lang was absolutely smart.
He not only took her safety into consideration, but also made the best arrangements for the entire situation.
What made her feel even more heartwarming was that Wei Lang personally supervised the military supplies and watched over them in person in order to ensure her absolute safety.
She knew that Wei would definitely be dissatisfied, after all, this was a very risky thing to do. But Wei Lang was able to do this, which moved her deeply.
"You've done so much for me, I...I don't know how to thank you."
Wei Lang gently held Chen Jia's hand and said, "Yi Yi, you don't need to thank me. As long as you are well, it will be the greatest reward for me."
Chen Jia felt a sour and uncomfortable feeling in her throat. She never expected that her life would one day be valuable.
However, although she was touched, Chen Jia wanted to know more about Wei Lang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and how the Wei family allowed him to be a quartermaster.
"How did you negotiate with Wei to risk your life and come to the front line in person?"
Wei Lang pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "I negotiated a condition with the family, which is that this battle can win over the military connections."
Wei Lang knew that this decision was also a gamble for the family, but he was willing to give it a try for Chen Jia.
Chen Jia frowned slightly, she knew this was not easy.
The Wei family plays an important role in the court, and their decisions often affect the rise and fall of the entire family.
Wei Lang was willing to take risks for her, which made her both moved and worried.
"You are really taking a gamble by doing this. Is it really worth it for me?"
"I have high standards. It's rare that I like a woman. Of course I will do whatever it takes to keep you."
With tears in her eyes, she leaned gently on Wei Lang's shoulder, closed her eyes, and felt his warmth.
She learned to be strong after she fled Shouchun with Chen Jue and begged on the streets all the way.
Wei Lang broke down her strength and let her know that a woman can also be cared for by a man, and it feels great to be cared for by someone.
At this time, Chen Jue stood aside, looking at Wei Lang and Chen Jia, feeling jealous, but he also knew that only Wei Lang could protect his sister at this moment.
He walked up to Wei Lang and said solemnly: "Brother Lang, thank you. From now on, the Duke Zhao's Mansion and the Wei family will prosper together and be of the same blood."
Wei Lang looked at this nominal brother-in-law, but in reality, a potential love rival, with a dark and ambiguous look in his eyes.
