After being married, she was held in the sky by a foolish husband

Died in battle... on the battlefield...?

Cui Chengyan, he...

As if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, Wen Liang felt his hands and feet were cold.

He grabbed the old man and asked anxiously: "Old man! Did you remember wrongly?! It's that..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man shook him off impatiently, and said with a straight face: "You young man is also very strange! That traitorous spy will die as soon as he dies! What's the use of asking questions?"

"That's it!" The people who were listening to the story also echoed. "If you are a spy, how can you die in battle? According to me, the spy who betrayed my great Qi should be punished by everyone! Death on the battlefield is considered cheap for him!"

"That's right! Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime! Is it going to implicate the nine clans?!"

……

The fleeing people vented their anger towards the Beidi people on this unknown spy. Wen Liang let go of his hand in a slump, opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything.

Cui...Chengyan...how could he be a spy of Beidi people?

How could he... die on the battlefield?

Wen Liang was upset, and the hand holding the teacup was trembling.

The group of people who fled from Rongzhou had rested enough and were ready to leave.Wen Liang asked again, except for a few who agreed with the old man, the rest said they didn't know about it.

The thread ends here.

In the past, it was only Cui Yuanwai who disappeared, but now...is Cui Chengyan's life and death uncertain?

Wen Liang had never experienced such a flustered feeling. Under the scorching sun, his eyes almost went dark and he fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" The kind aunt hurriedly supported him, "I think you look very bad, why don't you rest for a while? You child, why do you have to go to Linzhou?"

"Being entrusted by others, I have to go." Wen Liang pretended to be calm and stabilized his mind.He thanked his aunt for her kindness, took his horse and was about to set off.

Looking at his lonely back, the aunt couldn't help shaking her head.

☆

After a long journey, Wen Liang finally arrived in Linzhou City in the evening of the third day.

As the kind lady said, the gates of Linzhou City were closed tightly, and soldiers guarding the city stood on the walls, as if they were besieging the city.Those inside cannot come out, and those outside cannot enter.

Wen Liang looked at the city and sighed, is it really going to return without success?

When he was at the tea shop, he asked the people who had fled from Linzhou City about the situation of Qijia Embroidery Village.It's just that their arguments were also very confusing, which made Wen Liang unable to make up his mind.Some said that when they escaped, they saw the Qijia Embroidery Village was still open, while others said that almost all the shops in Linzhou City were closed when they left.

It seems that if you don't go to the city, you won't get the result. Wen Liang inquired around the village outside the city gate, and finally found a secret way into the city.

This secret road is guarded by the village chief, and it costs three qian kuai to enter and exit the city, which is like making war fortune.

But he has no choice, other than this, there is no other way to enter the city.

☆

At night, Linzhou City.

It was not easy for Wen Hao to enter the city, but he found that the city was eerily quiet.

There are some articles and household items scattered on the street, and there is almost no light on the side of the street.Except for the people waiting to leave the city at the entrance of the secret road, it was difficult to see other people in the entire Linzhou City.

Could it be...is this really an abandoned city?

According to Mrs. Cui's address, Wen Liang quickly found Qijia Embroidery Village.

The door of Qijia Embroidery Village was closed tightly, and the doors and windows seemed to be covered with dust.Looking left and right, Wen Liang didn't think it looked like he had opened the door during the day.

"Who are you?"

A small door on the side of Xiuzhuang was opened a crack, and the sound came from it.

Wen Liang hurried over and saluted: "Excuse me, is this the Qi Family Embroidery Village?"

The man's voice was a little old, and he said vigilantly, "Who told you to come?"

He didn't admit it or deny it, as if he knew early on that someone would come.

"Mrs. Cui from Qingzhou City." Wen Liang said. "She handed me a letter, asking me to deliver it to Qi Yuanwai."

Although this person is suspicious, Wen Liang also has his own plans - since he can open the door from the embroidery village, he has a close relationship with his family. Judging from his behavior, he looks like the manager of the embroidery village.

"Qingzhou City...could it be..."

The door suddenly widened, and an old man with white hair walked out.

He looked at Wen Liang sharply, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you...from the Cui family?"

Judging from his age, he is undoubtedly in charge.Although it was uncomfortable to be asked, Wen Liang still replied respectfully: "I am a friend of Young Master Cui, please rest assured that I am definitely not a bad person."

The old man looked at him for a long time before he sighed and let him in.

The side door leads directly to the backyard of Xiuzhuang. There are no lights in the house, and there is no atmosphere.Wen Liangzheng felt strange, but heard the old man say: "I am the shopkeeper of Xiuzhuang, you can call me Seventh Uncle."

Wen Liang politely cupped his hands: "Uncle Qi."

Uncle Qi entered the room and lit the lamp, and Wen Liang finally saw the situation in the room clearly——

Except for some necessary household items, there are only some piles of food left.

"Miss married to Qingzhou City... It's been many years." Uncle Qi sighed while pouring tea. "The young master has grown into an adult. I heard that he passed the Tanhua exam? It's not in vain that the old master loved the young master so much... Sigh, it's a pity that good luck tricks people..."

Wen Liang was full of doubts, but since Uncle Qi was an old man, he could only let him sigh.

"Come, have a sip of tea." Seventh Uncle handed him the teacup and said again. "Actually... we all know about the Cui family's misfortune in Qingzhou City... my uncle is missing, and the lady stays behind closed doors... Even a fool knows what happened to the Cui family..."

Hearing what uncle Qi said, Wen Liang almost choked on the tea.

What's the meaning?Could it be... The Qi family already knew about Mrs. Cui's current situation?

"Drink slowly, it's not enough." Seventh Uncle saw his disheveled face and guessed that he must have suffered a lot in order to hurry. "It should be troublesome to come from Qingzhou City, right?"

"No trouble, no trouble." Wen Liang thanked Uncle Qi for his kindness, and said cautiously, "Then Uncle Qi... this member of Qi..."

Although Uncle Qi loves to chatter, Wen Liang always remembers his mission.

The purpose of his trip to Linzhou was to find Qi Yuanwai and move rescuers.

"Qi Yuanwai..." Uncle Qi murmured, looking at Wen Liang, he shook his head helplessly. "You are late."

I'm late?how you said that?

Wen Liang looked at Uncle Qi in surprise: "Could it be..."

Uncle Qi nodded before waiting for him to finish, and said, "Yes...Young Master, he...is not in Linzhou City for a long time."

"Now... the Qi family in Linzhou City... I am the only one left!"

☆

Uncle Qi's words were undoubtedly a thunderstorm, which exploded in Wen Liang's ears.

For Mrs. Cui, Qi Yuanwai was undoubtedly the last straw, but now Uncle Qi told him that this straw had already been broken by itself?

"Before the news came out from Rongzhou, the young master didn't know where he got the news. He stocked up the grain, rice, oil and noodles and exchanged the bank notes."

"At that time, the news from the Cui family had just arrived. I advised the young master to go to Qingzhou City to have a look, but he thought I was meddling."

Speaking of this, Uncle Qi smiled miserably: "The young master said, the water thrown by the married daughter. After the young lady is married, she is the Cui family, and has nothing to do with our Qi family. So... so cruel...how can he say it?" ..."

"Later, the young master took the family members of this mansion to other places in the name of traveling."

"Where exactly did I go... I don't know, except for me, there are only a few girls and women left in the Qi family who refuse to leave."

……

Uncle Seven was so moved that he burst into tears.

But Wen Liang also understood——

I'm afraid Mrs. Cui sent him to deliver the letter wishful thinking that she had a good relationship with her natal brother?As a result, not only did they not regard her as a married woman as their own family, but they also planned their retreat early and escaped?

No wonder, some of the people who fled from Linzhou City said that this Qi Family Embroidery Village is no longer the original Qi Family Embroidery Village.After Qi Yuanwai inherited the family business, he lowered the cost and raised the price. How can he still have the simple style of the old Qi Yuanwai?

Wen Liang knew that the letter in his hand could not be delivered, and his eyes dimmed a little.

Uncle Qi was still choking with sobs: "Miss...Miss, is she okay?"

Wen Liang couldn't see the old man being sad the most, so he said some comforting words indiscriminately, so that Uncle Qi could feel relieved.

"Ms. Cui is... very good, she has no worries about food and clothing, but she misses your natal family very much, that's why she sent me to Linzhou to have a look." Wen Liang said. "Uncle Qi, don't worry, I will definitely not tell Mrs. Cui about the changes in the Qi family. You... don't be too sad."

The Qi family can't count on it either.

Mrs. Cui is still under house arrest in the inner courtyard of the Cui Mansion in a disguised form. The news from Linzhou City will soon spread to Qingzhou City. If Uncle Cui knows about the situation of the Qi family, then Mrs. Cui... can she stay comfortably?

Sons and husbands disappeared one after another, and her own brother ran away. Mrs. Cui was also the jewel in the palm of Lao Qi's members, and her life went smoothly. How could she bear such a blow?

If Mrs. Cui asked...how should he answer?

Wen Liang didn't dare to think about it.

When he returned to Qingzhou City, he only felt like a puppet, dumb, silly, confused, and chaotic.

If there were only a few people talking about the rumors about Rongzhou City before leaving, then when they came back, there would already be a lot of rumors.

Some said that General Wei won the battle and took back the territory occupied by the Beidi people.Some said that Prince Qing's son was in an ambush with his troops and was seriously injured. Others said...

No matter which version it is in, that unknown Lord Overseer will always be charged with being a spy.Some said he was dead, some said he was locked up, and some said he had fled to Beidi people...

At first, Wen Liang would argue with them, but after listening too much, he became numb.

Rumors are not true, so he doesn't believe them.

However, when he walked into the gate of his house and looked at Xiaoyu and Cui An with red and swollen eyes...he couldn't help but not believe it.

"My lord!" Xiaoyu's voice was hoarse, and she had cried countless times. "News from the government office... say, say..."

It was sobbing.

Wen Xin's eyes were also red. She wiped her face and pretended to be calm: "Brother, my sister-in-law is gone."
