Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

433 Rescue 2

“Ah Zhi, if I don’t fight with you, will you… be happier?”

Zhou Heng’s eyes were a little sad. He wanted his brother, not the cold throne.

He did not come back to compete with him.

Zhou Zhi looked at Zhou Heng and smiled faintly. He lowered his eyes and hid all his thoughts in them.

Zhou Zhi did not answer Zhou Heng. He let go and sat quietly without saying anything.

Zhou Heng swallowed. At that moment, he thought that he understood Zhou Zhi, but Zhou Zhi did not say anything. In an instant, the two brothers seemed to be thousands of miles apart.

When the carriage arrived, Zhou Zhi lifted the curtain and went down.

The steel frame was heavy. Zhou Zhi stopped in his tracks and said coldly, “We can’t go back to the past. Big Brother can only walk forward. I’m the same. I hope Big Brother can adapt to the coldness in the capital as soon as possible.”

Zhou Zhi got off the carriage and slowly walked into the residence.

Jin Liu said calmly to Zhou Heng in the carriage, “Young Master Zhou, please come down.”

Zhou Heng’s expression darkened and his heart ached.

He got off the carriage and followed Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi’s residence was not small, but it was very monotonous. There were not many sceneries in the residence, just like him, lacking vitality.

Zhou Heng’s heart ached even more.

Zhou Zhi returned to the main courtyard. As soon as he entered, Zhou Heng was stopped by the guards guarding the main courtyard.

Jin Si said lightly, “Young Master Zhou, you won’t stay here. Please follow me.”

Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Zhi’s back until he disappeared from his sight. Then, he retracted his gaze and followed Jin Si.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Jin Si said, “Young Master Zhou, you will stay here tonight. Please.”

Zhou Heng nodded. “Thank you.”

He pushed the door open and entered. After lighting the candle, he closed the door. Then, he walked to the bed and lay down. He closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

On the other side.

Zhou Zhi leaned against the bed and looked at the memorial in his hand. Jin Si came over and reported, “Master, he’s already gone to bed.”

Zhou Zhi nodded lightly and said, “All of you can go down. I don’t need anyone to watch over me. I’ll sleep by myself for a while. Tomorrow morning, when they come to pick him up, let him go.”

Jin Si and the others left.

The surroundings fell silent. Only then did Zhou Zhi put down the memorial. He looked at his legs with a deep gaze. He reached out and pressed on the empty spot with a painful expression. He endured the pain and swallowed his sobs as he muttered, “If these were still around, we might really be brothers in arms.”

Unfortunately, that was impossible.

The pain of incompleteness accompanied him for the rest of his life and could never be changed.

Unless the broken limbs could be regenerated… It was impossible, just like how there were no gods in this world.

Wei Xiaotian returned to the Wei residence and went straight to the study to report to Wei Guangrong. Wei Guangrong was waiting for him in the study.

When he entered, Wei Guangrong looked up from the desk and asked Wei Xiaotian, “How is it?”

Wei Xiaotian walked forward and lowered his head to answer, “Father, the people on the other side have interfered. Our people had just surrounded him when the imperial guards arrived. The people over there are paying more attention to Zhou Heng than we thought.”

Wei Xiaotian hid the fact that he wanted to kill Zhou Heng and the fact that the Su family members besides Zhou Heng were highly skilled in martial arts.

Wei Guangrong frowned. “Then it seems that this Zhou Heng is really his man. It seems that he wants to help Zhou Heng recover his identity next.”

“Father, what should we do? If he succeeds, with his status as the eldest son of the Empress, the throne might fall to him in the future. At that time, our family…”

Wei Xiaotian looked worried. With his assassination, if Zhou Heng really became the emperor in the future, he would be the first to deal with the Wei family.

Neither Zhou Heng nor Zhou Zhi could tolerate the Wei family.

Wei Guangrong also thought of this. He frowned. This was the difficult thing now.

“Father, we can’t hide it from Sister anymore. If she’s deceived by Zhou Heng, she’ll misunderstand us.”

Wei Xiaotian said again. By saying this, he was reminding Wei Guangrong to hurry up and not take too long to think. Otherwise, the situation would become more and more disadvantageous for the Wei family.

Wei Guangrong pondered for a moment and said helplessly, “I’ll go to the palace tomorrow and tell your sister about this. Let her choose another prince from the royal family as soon as possible.”

No matter who the Wei family supported, they could not support Zhou Zhi and Zhou Heng.

As long as it wasn’t them, anyone was fine.

Wei Xiaotian nodded. “Alright, I’ll take my leave then.”

“How many people did we lose this time?”

Wei Guangrong looked at Wei Xiaotian and asked. There were probably not many people he had secretly raised left.

Wei Xiaotian lowered his head and replied, “Father, we lost more than 40 people.”

Every secret guard was meticulously nurtured. He was also heartbroken that they were sacrificed, but he had no choice. A failure was a failure.

“Let’s lay low for the time being. The Wei family has suffered a serious loss and needs to recuperate.”

Wei Guangrong sighed with heartache. The fruits of his many years of cultivation had been wasted just like that. He had not gotten any benefits at all.

This made him feel incomparably heartbroken. What sins had the Wei family committed to meet these two princes?

Wei Xiaotian nodded and left.

Su Xiaolu and the others returned to the general’s residence. When they returned, everyone else had rested. Only Father Qi was waiting for news. Seeing that they were back, Father Qi looked at Qi Xingfeng and asked, “You’re back. Where is he?”

Qi Xingfeng’s face turned red. He had not thought of how to explain this complicated matter in the shortest possible way.

Su Chong explained to Father Qi.

Father Qi frowned. “Is the Wei family crazy? How dare they do such an outrageous thing!”

Just because Zhou Heng had yet to recover his identity, they could kill him because they did not believe it. Even his son didn’t let Zhou Heng off.

“It’s getting late. Rest early. We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Father Qi suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

This matter was complicated and could not be rushed.

Su Chong and Su Xiaolu nodded.

Su Xiaolu returned to her room. Su Xiaoling lay down. After Su Xiaolu fell asleep, Su Xiaoling asked, “Xiaolu, did it go well tonight?”

Su Xiaoling was afraid that Su Xiaolu would hide it from her. Before Su Xiaolu could answer, she said, “Xiaolu, I can’t accompany him through this. I also know that I can’t change anything, but I still want to know what happened. I want to know as much as I can.”

Su Xiaolu leaned on Su Xiaoling’s shoulder and said slowly, “Sister, things didn’t go well today. The Wei family doesn’t believe in Third Brother’s identity. They invited him over not to prove anything, but to kill him.”

“Zhou Zhi was originally involved in this matter, so when the Wei family took action, Zhou Zhi’s men rushed over. Originally, Third Brother was coming back, but he wanted to see Zhou Zhi. He wanted to say something to Zhou Zhi, so he followed Zhou Zhi back. Tomorrow morning, we’ll pick him up.”
