Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 359 The nine brothers are here
"I have taken note of what the second brother said."

She answered as if it were a routine matter, and Song Run didn't dwell too much on this question.

The journey went fairly smoothly, but when they arrived at Jincheng County, the people they had agreed upon did not arrive.

"The fourth master took leave and said he would be able to leave at a later date. The fourth princess and several children caught wind and cold due to the beginning of spring, and they have not recovered after taking medicine for half a month. Now that we are setting off, we are worried that the fatigue on the road will aggravate the condition. Sixth master I also sent someone to report my illness, saying that I had a headache."

The two of them would find reasons not to come. Song Run had already expected it. He glanced at Lao Qi and Lao Ba, and did not want to embarrass the two of them. He ordered: "Then wait here for a few days and wait for someone to report the news. If you can't keep the promise after ten days, If you are traveling, your family will stay here temporarily."

He had made up his mind to ask everyone to leave the northwest together. Although Song Yuan didn't know why, they all left and only their family members were left here. This was not a good thing.

Song Fu next to him didn't say anything, which made Lao Qi and Lao Ba feel guilty, but Song Yuan didn't feel anything. While waiting in Jincheng County, he even went to find the Jincheng County Magistrate and learned that he had already done it for him. Regarding the expansion of trade with the south, Song Yuan immediately said that he would help promote this matter when he returned to Jingzhao.

They waited patiently in Jincheng County. On the tenth day, Song Chen and Song Bun arrived as scheduled, accompanied by their family members. Looking at their tired expressions, you can tell how strenuous the pursuit was.

According to the original plan, after leaving the northwest, the family members could travel slowly, but they had to rush back to Jingzhao. The safety of the family members was left to Ma Xu's unified control, and everyone else also retained people they trusted to protect them.

Song Run had already said hello to these things, so no one had any objections. However, the family members left behind were not taken care of by the second sister-in-law. Instead, Song Run directly pointed out that Lao Ba's wife was taking care of everyone.

The second sister-in-law is quiet, gentle and soft-tempered, but the eighth sister-in-law is not. She is a hot-tempered little pepper. She is quick to do things and is much better than Song Ling, who is stupid and picks up troubles. It is because she is too good that she and Song Ling are not the same after marriage. She was discordant and looked down upon his villainous appearance. During these years in the northwest, she lived alone in Xijun with her two children and rarely interacted with Song Ling.

Song Run entrusted the matter to her, and she immediately agreed readily. The other sisters-in-law also had no objections. This was not a matter of exerting authority, but it was very hard work. They all had to control their children, and they were really not strong enough.

After making arrangements, Song Run and his brothers rushed to Jingzhao at high speed. They set off at dawn every day and rested their horses late at night. This speed was comparable to a rapid march. Not only the horses could not bear it, but also the people.

Halfway through the journey, Song Yuan felt that her bones were about to fall apart. She slowed down and wanted to hide behind and take a rest. Upon seeing this, Wei Yan immediately slowed down, and before he could ask her what was wrong, he did the same. Song Ling, who was lagging behind, suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, then turned around and vomited out.

Others reined in their horses and stopped. Song Ling's bodyguard quickly dismounted with a water bag. Song Ling vomited a few more times, his face turned red from vomiting. He almost fell off the horse and knelt on the ground and vomited out a lot of food. residue.

"What's going on?" Song Run had already dismounted and came over, and Song Fen came over quickly to help him, with a worried look on his face.

Song Ling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I must have eaten the wrong thing."

"What did your father eat?" Song Run asked the bodyguard, who quickly recalled it.

They were all busy surrounding Song Ling. Song Yuan took the opportunity to lie on the horse and rest. Wei Yan was afraid that something might happen to her, so he quickly brought a water bag over: "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell too?"

"My back hurts. I've been bumping all the way, and my bones are about to fall apart." Song Yuan shook off the stirrup, relaxed his body and lay on the horse, and then he felt better.

Wei Yan's face was full of sympathy: "Your Highness is not in such a hurry to cross the road. It's just that you are not used to it for a while. Please add a cushion to His Highness's saddle."

"No, I'll just lie down for a while." Song Yuan looked at Song Ling quietly: "Looking at the situation of Bage, he can probably take a rest." She guessed it right, Song Run told him to rest for half an hour before rushing on, and Wei Yan immediately took it The mat was placed in a cool place. Song Yuan got off the horse and stretched. After walking for a while, he sat down and stretched out his legs to relax. Song Ling sat next to her and saw Song Yuan staring at her, weak. His face suddenly turned dark.

"Are you kidding me?" he asked angrily.

"Huh?" Song Yuan was confused, then turned away and ignored him.

Song Fen went to Song Run and asked, "Second brother, has something big happened in Jingzhao?"

When he asked this question, everyone else's ears pricked up. Song Run drank some water and looked at him seriously before saying, "No."

"Since there is no such thing, is it too urgent to rush on like this?" Song Fen was a little dissatisfied: "Although the brothers are all rough men marching and fighting, is it inappropriate to go through such trouble for no reason?"

He was the first to object, and Song Chen, who couldn't bear it, also joined in: "Second brother, if there is something important in Jingzhao waiting for us to go back to discuss, then brothers will naturally not have any objections, but since there is not, it is not worth traveling like this. ”

Song Run looked at them: "You have been in the army for so many years, but you can't stand it anymore? How can you lead troops to fight with such a weak body?"

"This is not a matter of leading troops to fight. There is no need to fight so hard." Song Chen said hard: "Second brother, isn't this a torment for others?"

Song Run took another sip of water: "We will continue setting off in half an hour."

He didn't agree to slow down his journey. Song Fen was very angry, but he also knew that Song Run had such a temper. He couldn't help but give up.

Song Yuan turned a deaf ear to the fact that they were choking. She fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk. Wei Yan sat next to her and watched quietly. Song Ling took a rest for a while and finally recovered. She found that Song Yuan was taking a nap, and she was thinking bad thoughts. She woke up, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, Wei Yan stopped her.

"What's wrong, Mr. Eighth?" Wei Yan held Song Ling's wrist tightly, looking unkind.

His tone was not serious, but everyone else heard it. Song Pun, who was already tired and angry, shouted in a low voice: "A Ling!"

What's wrong with Song Yuan's napping?Why do you have to provoke me if you don't have enough money?Why are you acting so childishly when you are not a child anymore?
Song Ling shook Wei Yan away unconvinced and then waited patiently.

Although Song Run didn't let go of the rush, he rested early at night, delayed his departure time, and rested frequently during the journey. Song Pun, who was originally full of resentment, couldn't find anything to say, so he followed him all the way.

It happened to be a rainy day when they arrived in Jingzhao. They planned to change their clothes before entering the palace, but someone was waiting at the city gate early and asked them to enter the palace immediately.

This posture was so scary that no one dared to delay, so they hurriedly entered the palace. When they arrived at Taihua Palace, they discovered that Song Zhu, who was stationed in Chenliu, had also been called back.

Well, all the nine brothers who haven’t seen each other for several years are finally here.
