"Where are we going? Grandma's place probably hasn't eaten yet. Let's go have a meal?"
Shen Yuechan thought that Mi Ya'er wanted to go back to Shou'an Hall, but Mi Ya'er narrowed her eyes and said, "It's time to go and meet the guy from Qinfang Courtyard."
I saw Mi Yaer speaking with an indifferent expression.
Shen Yuechan came back to his senses, and his expression became sharp for a moment, and then the two of them walked hand in hand towards Qinfang Courtyard.
At the same time, the Shen family's carriage slowly drove out of the Shen family's old residence, bypassing the alley, and found the most prosperous ancient street in Qingyuan City. The sun had not yet risen, but the streets were already bustling with activity. .
There are bosses selling breakfast, hawkers carrying burdens, vendors who get up early to set up stalls, and ordinary people rushing to the early market. There are also three or five children chasing each other on the streets. The whole neighborhood is booming and full of fireworks.
Liu Yingying opened the car curtain, rested her arms on the window, rested her chin on her arms, and watched intently.
Although I have lived in Qingyuan City for more than four months, I am actually not familiar with it. The wealthy families have strict control over their children, especially women, and there are not many opportunities to go out. When I first came to Qingyuan, it was The first time, the second time when he went out to buy silkworm eggs with Ling'er, the third time when he went to Hanshan Temple, and the fourth time when he left this time.
More than four months passed by in a flash, but it seemed like a long time.
Like a dream.
There was a chill in the morning wind. I don't know how long I watched it, but my face was numb from the wind. Liu Yingying finally slowly lowered the curtain, rubbed her slightly numb arms, turned around and returned to the carriage.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Mrs. Wu asking with concern and nervousness.
"But it smells bad outside?"
"But it's more important. If you feel uncomfortable, just eat a plum to suppress it."
He added: "Is the carriage going too fast and causing a bumpy ride?"
With that said, he hurriedly went to tell the driver to drive slower, for fear of bumping up Liu Yingying and her stomach.
Seeing this, Liu Yingying hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm very fine."
He added: "No matter how slow we go, we won't be able to reach the dock by noon."
Liu Yingying felt a little helpless. Ever since..., Wu has been like a big hen, always protecting her little chick, for fear of being snatched away by a sudden eagle.
In fact, Wu's worries are not limited to this. If her daughter is pregnant, she will be even more worried about the return ship. After all, pregnancy is unstable in the early stages, and her daughter Ying'er is born with seasickness. Of course, what worries her the most Still counting——
"Ying'er, what happened to that girl in colorful clothes yesterday? Do you know?"
It turned out that yesterday and after the wedding ceremony, the family returned to Qinfangyuan and started packing their bags non-stop. Yesterday was all thrilling, but Liu Yingying didn't say a word after returning.
For example, how can Ying'er and Hongfu's identity be exposed?
For another example, why does Hong Fu appear again who looks exactly like his daughter?
For another example, yesterday, why did the Yao girl next door spend so much effort to frame her daughter?
Of course, what shocked her even more was how her daughter completely got rid of the label of Hong Fu in the face of such irrefutable evidence.
Although she clearly saw it with her own eyes, she was clearly confused.
All these are full of doubts.
I don’t know if it’s her illusion, but I always feel that all this is related to——
Wu couldn't help but lower her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on her daughter's still flat belly.
But Liu Yingying silently avoided her sight and said, "Nishang is an old acquaintance of mine. Yesterday... she just wanted to help me."
Liu Yingying was prevaricating Mrs. Wu casually, clearly not wanting to continue this topic. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Liu Yaoyao's little head next to Mrs. Wu opposite her. She got up too early today, and she clearly didn't want to continue. Didn't wake up from sleep.
Then he sat over and put Yaoyao's head on her knees, patted her gently, and said to Wu, "I have to take a nap for a while. The lady will call me in advance when we get to the pier."
After saying that, before Wu could respond, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep on the small table beside him.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu could only sigh slightly, and quickly found a thin blanket to cover the two of them. After a while, she could only slowly close her eyes and take a nap.
Wu closed her eyes. Not long after, she saw Liu Yingying opened her eyes again. After a long time, she gently freed her hand from under the pillow. After a closer look, she saw a Buddhist bead tightly held in her hand. After a while, , and looked up again, only to see that the carriage in front of him was familiar for no reason. It was not the carriage he and Shen Yueling took when they left the house in the past, nor was it the carriage they took when they went to Hanshan Temple, but... It was the car that Shen Lang and I shared on the return trip.
This is the carriage named Shen.
Seeing this, Liu Yingying clenched her teeth for a long time before forcing herself to close her eyes again.
The carriage drove slowly along. Liu Yingying fell asleep for a while, but was awakened by a burst of noise. Then, she suddenly heard a violent neighing sound of a horse: "Uh-"
Then, the carriage suddenly came to an emergency stop as if it had encountered some kind of surprise attack.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the whole carriage shook violently, almost throwing several people on the soft couch off the carriage. Liu Yingying sleepily covered her abdomen with one hand and held half of her body tightly with the other hand. Liu Yaoyao, who was thrown out, was stunned. Se was startled and said: "What happened?"
When she said this, Liu Yingying suddenly pulled Liu Yaoyao up. When she raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Wu getting off the bed with a nervous look on her face. She firmly protected Liu Yingying and Liu Yaoyao on the soft couch and said : "This is...what's going on?"
Liu Yingying had no time to care about anything else at this time. She supported Wu's hand on the edge of the carriage and pulled the curtain. She saw Taoyao running over in the distance. She said with a nervous look on her face: "Girl, something happened up front." "
As she spoke, Liu Yingying looked in the direction that Taoyao pointed, and she saw people in the distance running around with their shoulders and burdens on their shoulders, and a swarm of swarms swarming in this direction, as if they were running for their lives. I don’t know what happened.
Tao Yao grabbed an old man and asked, "Old man, what's going on up front?"
The old man looked horrified and said: "Escape quickly, the city gate has been broken——"
After finishing speaking, before Tao Yao had time to ask any more questions, she saw the old man pulling Tao Yao's hand and running away in a rolling crawl.
In the middle, many people didn't even care about their shoes or the burden on their shoulders. They just ran away, shouting as they ran: "Run away, run away, there are people killing people and setting fires in front of them -"
"Come on -"
In the midst of the chaos, an earth-shattering roar came from the distant direction of the city gate. It was the shouts of soldiers, mixed with the clang of horse hooves, and even the ground shook.
When Liu Yingying saw this, she looked startled.
At this time, the driver who was rushing ahead suddenly shouted loudly: "Miss Liu, sit still."
He took the carriage and began to turn around and flee.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn around, a sharp arrow suddenly shot straight into the corner of the carriage. The whole carriage shook violently, and someone in the distance shouted: "Look, that's the Shen family's carriage -"
"The prince has an order to shoot and kill a member of the Shen family and be rewarded with a thousand gold coins. Anyone who captures the head of the traitor Shen Lang will be rewarded with a hundred thousand gold coins -"
As the soldiers in the distance shouted excitedly, they heard a sudden and violent boom in the distance. The city gate collapsed with the hammer of thousands of gold, and the whole ground shook.
Thousands of soldiers and horses rushed in together.
Chapter 158
"My fellow officers and men, the Shen and Mi families have conspired to rebel. Your majesty's private visit incognito has been hijacked by the Shen family. Today, I fight for the emperor. All my fellow officers and men, please follow me today to capture two old thieves alive, eradicate the remnants of the rebels, and rescue your majesty— —”
On top of the city gate, after the last city guard was killed and thrown off the city gate, the city gate opened wide, and thousands of cavalry took the lead in carrying a coffin. The coffin was not sealed, and a large word "Lai" was engraved on the front. Looking closely, I saw a young man lying in the coffin. His whole body had been buried neatly and gorgeously, but it had already dried.
The coffin entered the city gate first and was carried high by more than ten soldiers.
The atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
After the coffin was entered, not long after, King Pingnan, who was in his fifties, supported by four veterans, slowly entered with a horse rope and a spear in hand. King Pingnan's face was covered with ravines, but he was still young but... He already has an air of age, with maturity and sternness that are not seen on the face of young people. He looks like a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but at this moment, he and the four veterans behind him have a white cloth tied on their foreheads. .
When riding to the city gate, I saw him silent for a long time, and suddenly he spoke with a cold and majestic aura, shouting word by word to the soldiers in front of him with sorrow and anger: "The eldest son of Shen, Shen Lang, will be executed." Kill my son, the dog's body is still cold, today I will use the rebel Shen Lang's head to pay tribute to my son's spirit in heaven."
"If the traitors are not eliminated, my son's coffin will not be sealed—"
He sang loudly.
Like a sleeping lion, roaring in grief.
His grief can be heard for ten miles.
As soon as he said these words, a general behind him raised his spear high and shouted loudly: "Eradicate the rebels and avenge the prince——"
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers around him raised their spears and shouted: "Eradicate the rebels and avenge the prince——"
"Eradicate the traitors and avenge the crown prince——"
A sound wave spread to more than ten miles outside the city. Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the ground in half the city shook.
Then, teams one after another raised flags and rushed towards the entire city, heading straight to the Shen family in the city.
At the same time, the carriage Liu Yingying was riding in ran away with all her strength, followed by eight cavalrymen in hot pursuit. One of the leading generals was so happy that he even shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's see who can win the first place in the Shen family today." Tou, avenge the eldest son!”
The general shouted encouragement, and in an instant eight sharp arrows were shot at the carriage. In an instant, the Shen family's carriage was shot into a sieve, and one of the arrows passed directly by Wu's door. Liu Yingying With sharp eyesight and quick hands, he pulled the person away and dodged a hidden arrow. Then he quickly lifted the small table on the soft couch and blocked another one in an instant——
"Quick, hide behind me!"
Liu Yingying suddenly looked nervous and roared.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wu was so panicked that her feet slipped and she was thrown off the soft couch. She almost fell out of the carriage. Liu Yingying's expression changed drastically. She pulled the person while protecting Yao behind her. Yao, you still have to protect your belly.
"drive--"
Horse-drawn carriages raced through the chaotic streets.
However, they saw the enemy leader suddenly squinting his eyes and swinging out an iron eagle claw, directly hooking the roof of the carriage. As he pulled hard, a violent bang was heard. , the entire roof of the carriage was torn off, and in an instant, the carriage was torn apart and crumbling.
Just hearing a groan, the carriage was forced to slow down.
The eight enemy troops rushed up and surrounded the entire carriage. Only a few people waved their spears and were about to stab the driver and the carriage, but they saw that it was too late and that it was faster. , the coachman suddenly pulled out the soft sword from his waist and started fighting with people on the street one against eight.
I saw that the driver's sword was fierce and unusual, and in the blink of an eye two people were stabbed off their horses.
The leader of the other side narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and began to look directly at him, daring not to underestimate him. The six people began to adopt an encirclement strategy, and surrounded the coachman.
The fighting outside was extremely fierce. Wu and others were from the back house. Never had they seen such a brutal moment. They immediately softened and trembled all over. Their thoughts were messed up and their brains were frightened. There was a blank scene, and Yaoyao shrank in Wu's arms and was so frightened that she started crying.
Liu Yingying also turned pale with fright.
She carefully opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside. Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, a sharp arrow was nailed directly to the window. She was so scared that she immediately retracted her hand.
However, even though he was afraid, he also knew that the situation in Qingyuan City had changed drastically. Someone actually broke down the city gate. They were planning to rebel. For a moment, he thought of what the thieves shouted outside just now, and also thought of the attack on Hanshan Temple in the past. This incident is obviously directed at the Shen family. But now that the city gate has been broken, the team in front of them is the forward sentry, and there will be endless soldiers and horses chasing after them. Now the carriage is damaged and the driver is alone. If you can't resist for a long time, the only result of being huddled in this carriage is to wait for death.
Her heart was so nervous that it was beating wildly. Liu Yingying pinched her thighs desperately, forcing herself to calm down, and quickly worked on her brain. However, in an instant, she saw Liu Yingying raising the small table and trying her best towards the back wall of the carriage. Smash it hard.
Once, twice——
The rickety carriage was quickly smashed open by Liu Yingying. Regardless of her physical discomfort, Liu Yingying kicked the obstacle away and jumped out of the carriage. She quickly hugged Yaoyao down, gritted her teeth and shouted at Mrs. Wu: "Mother , Hurry, come down quickly——”
However, the fighting was fierce in front of the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, a person was thrown into the carriage. Wu was so frightened that she screamed and her legs went weak. Liu Yingying gritted her teeth and was about to climb up to help the person down, but she suddenly noticed a trace of it. Something was wrong. She froze and slowly turned her head. Then she saw a fallen enemy soldier slowly getting up from the pool of blood. Half of his face was stained red with blood. At this moment, he pulled out the dagger from his waist bit by bit with a ferocious expression. Staggering in the direction of Liu Yingying.
Liu Yingying tightly held Yaoyao in her arms, and quietly pulled out the sharp arrow on the carriage. She saw that the man was about to pounce fiercely, but when the two were about to stab each other, they saw With a bang, the other party suddenly said "uh", and then fell directly to the ground.
His bloody hands tightly grasped her dress, then he spat out blood, and when his hands were loosened, he died immediately.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a sharp arrow stuck in the back of his neck. The sharp arrow pierced his throat.
Liu Yingying suddenly raised her head and saw a black horse roaring from the end of the chaotic street. The horse was dressed in black robes, leaning against the horse's back. He held an arrow and bow high in one hand and tied the rope with the other, and he was flying. Come running.
