Chapter 386: A virtuous gentleman
In the former site of Pingyang City, some areas seem to have traces of excessive fire. Most of the streets have been blocked by collapsed houses. The soil from half a person to one person is high, and bricks and stones are everywhere. Some of the wooden forks that have not yet been completely rotten in the original house structure are mixed with some trees, as well as weeds and shrubs growing on it, blocking the original streets and alleys, and only the main roads that run across the north and south in the center of the city are somewhat more beautiful. In the weeds, you can still see some residual bluestone slabs.
There is an area in the city, such as the original county government office, and perhaps it was the royal palace of the Marquis of Pingyang before, but after so many years, the slightly more expensive things have been cleaned, and even some tiles and wooden beams are gone. The only thing left is a piece of ground that is relatively flat and empty compared to other parts of the city.
Fei Qian looked around, nodded and said, "Well, it's pretty good... Uncle Ye, find some soldiers to clean up..."
"Jun Fei Lang, can't you really set up camp here? This city is already... You see, even the canals in the city have been running for a long time..."
Huang Cheng was a little surprised. Although this place is still a city, it has become so dilapidated...
Fei Qian smiled and said, "There must be water wells in the city, but they may be blocked. If they are dug up again, there will be water... Besides, there are still some residual walls here, which is better than blowing the cold wind in the wild, right?"
Of course, Huang Cheng just said that when he saw Fei Qian confirming, he was not vague in his execution. He immediately assigned personnel to sort out Pingyang County, and began to level the ground at the location where it might have been the county government or the old Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Fei Qian found a stone, blew the dust on it casually, then sat down, picked up a branch, and drew it on the ground.
According to Fei Qian's original plan, he was to go north, pass Puzi County, and then march into Yong'an. However, Lu Chang died unexpectedly in Xiangling, which made Fei Qian feel the seriousness of the situation...
The location of the old Pingyang County is almost on the same horizontal line as Xiangling, but it is located on both sides of the Fen River. Xiangling is closer to the Fen River, while Pingyang is a little further away from the Fen River. If you go down from Yong'an along the Fen River, one side is Xiangling, and the other side must pass through Pingyang...
Fei Qian roughly drew a schematic diagram, frowned, and drew a circle on the area surrounded by Pingyang, Xiangling, Yong'an and Linfen...

At this moment
Linfen County.
In the past few days, Yong'an County was captured by the Yellow Turban Thiefs, and the atmosphere in Linfen County became tense. The city gate, which had always been wide open, has only opened one now, and soldiers have been added at the city gate, and people who have been traveling in detail were investigated to prevent the Yellow Turban Thief from hiding into the city.
A gust of dust flew away in the distance, which attracted the attention of the soldiers on the front of the city. He quickly rang the gong for warning, which immediately caused a panic at the entrance of the city gate. The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the suspension bridge were completely ignored, and there were still some people on the suspension bridge, and quickly turned the winch hard.
The few woodcut people who were still on the suspension bridge were about to enter the city, suddenly stood up unsteadily and fell into the moat with a few thuds, but they did not dare to scold them. They hurriedly swam to the shore, grabbed the long spear pole that the soldiers stretched out, and climbed up with their strength, so as to try to enter the city before the city gate was closed.
Yan Chen was getting closer, but stopped, and sent a rider from afar, shouting loudly: "Don't panic, we are from the Wei clan in Hedong, not the Yellow Turban thief!"
Hearing this, everyone in the city and under the city suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
When the carriage approached, a sharp-eyed man saw a white-clothed man sitting upright on the carriage that lifted the curtains. He couldn't help but shouted: "It's the young man from the Wei family! It's the young man from the Wei family here!"
Wei Qing was from Pingyang at that time, and his mother had an affair with a man named Zheng Ji in the mansion of the Marquis of Pingyang and gave birth to Wei Qing. It is believed that Zheng Ji might not have been an unknown junior at that time, but because Wei Qing was too famous later, and Wei Qing did not live well in Zheng Ji when he was a child, so although he was Wei Qing's biological father, Wei Qing ignored it. Therefore, after Wei Qing was appointed as the Marquis, people naturally ignored Zheng Ji...
But later Princess Pingyang married Wei Qing, so the relationship between Marquis Pingyang and Wei Qing was quite close. Later, Wei Qing's descendants were implicated due to the witchcraft disaster. The people from the Wei court, including the queen, princess, Princess Yangshi, Princess Zhuyi, etc., were cleaned up completely. Even Marquis of Pingyang at that time, Cao Zong, was expelled from the country because of this case...
Later, although the descendants of the Wei family received 500,000 yuan to restore their family, the entire Pingyang City had declined. Later, as Pingyang City shrank, Pingyang Hou died out of his descendants, and the Wei family gradually moved south. Later, the Wei family built a new ancestral hall in Linfen to worship Wei Qing...
So in fact, the people in Linfen are still very familiar with Wei Ji. After seeing clearly that they are indeed the young man from the Wei family, they restored the order of the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate rushed to the side of the people who were stuck near the door hole because of this emergency, so they asked Wei Ji and his party to go to the city first. However, they did not expect Wei Ji refused to go first, but instead let these people enter the city first. Not only that, they also ordered the guards to give some money to the people who fell into the water as compensation for frightening them.
Several soldiers above the city wall looked at each other, whispering and talking.
"The Wei family is really worthy of being a family of poetry and books. Look, this gentleman's demeanor, tsk..."
"Of course, when it comes to the Wei family, this is it!" A soldier gave his thumbs up and praised, "The Wei family is really kind! You don't know, I have really met the young man from the Wei family!"
"Hey! Who hasn't seen it before! That's under the city!"
"That's different. I've spoken to the young man of the Wei family!" The soldier stood up proudly, and even his worn-out robe became radiant.
"Really? You guy can't fool us, right? Just because you still see the young man from the Wei family? Don't joke..."
Everyone started to cheer.
"Ah! I'm not kidding! Two years ago, my father was sick and happened to be tight. He couldn't afford a doctor. Seeing that my father was getting worse and worse, he heard that the Wei family could get a loan, so he went to try it. However, he didn't expect that Wei Xiaolangjun happened to be present at that time, so he made a decision to lend me two thousand yuan, and the monthly interest rate was only fifty yuan! This was the cure of my father. The Wei family was really kind! The Wei family's little husband was even more kind!"
Everyone nodded and praised...
The high temperature was thirty-nine degrees for three consecutive days, and the highest today is 40 degrees. Dear friends, I don’t know what to say anymore...
His mother...
It's only June now...
