"Be good, go wash up first."
Pei Yubing wanted to say something else, but seeing that Chu Huizhou was only concentrating on the matter at hand, he couldn't say much and turned around and went back to his room.
After breakfast, the group continued on their way.
There was silence along the way, as if what happened last night had never happened.
But the closer he got to Luo City, the more uneasy Pei Yubing felt.
She opened the curtain and stared blankly at the scenery outside the carriage. She didn't know what to do next. The unknown was scary.
Will Chu Huizhou leave when he arrives in Luocheng?
Thinking about it, sleepiness came over me.
In a dream. sunny.
In the huge wing room, bright yellow gauze curtains rippled in the wind, and a bright red wedding handkerchief was spread on the carved and inlaid bed. On it was the word "happy" embroidered with gold and silver silk threads, which was exquisite and luxurious. The light rosewood incense fills the sense of smell, quiet and beautiful. In front of the dowry set up against the window, a woman smiled with her eyes open. She was dressed in a bright red dress, with the dazzling blood-colored Bianhua flowers outlined by the warp lines, and the interlaced lines layer upon layer. The colorful wedding dress reflected her delicate face, and her red lips were as red as fire, and she was so delicate.
Anxiety and sweetness intertwined, she sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, pinching the silk handkerchief nervously.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a petite figure rushed in.
"Sister, the auspicious time is coming soon, are you ready?"
Pei Shuxue looked up at the visitor and nodded.
moment. Boom. Thunder rolls.
Dark clouds squirmed, blocking the sun, and the sky became dark.
Suddenly, a strange feeling came to his heart. The wooden comb in Pei Yubing's hand paused and got stuck in Pei Shuxue's hair. The long hair that was originally straight now looked like it was knotted.
Pei Yubing looked outside through the window, and the noisy sound seemed to be approaching her.
what happened? The uneasiness grew stronger.
"Sister, let me go out and take a look. You are just sitting there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed open from the outside in, and a bloody figure collapsed to the ground.
"Miss, go quickly..."
The two sisters looked back at the same time.
Pei Shuxue exclaimed when she saw this. Regardless of the heavy dress, she ran to the door with her skirt in hand, "What happened?"
Pei Shuxue's eyes turned red as she looked at the personal maid covered in bloodstains.
"Two ladies, the barbarians have invaded and the city of Yingzhou has fallen." The maid stretched out her bloody hand, grabbed Pei Shuxue's sleeve and wrist, and said with her last breath, "It's too late, two ladies, leave quickly." Then she slowly moved away. Fall down.
Pei Yubing didn't have time to think too much. She tried to calm her heartbeat and pulled up the sad Pei Shuxue. "Sister, let's go quickly. Let's go find daddy."
The two walked through the inner courtyard.
Along the way, screams, shouts, weapons clashing... all kinds of sounds came and went, echoing throughout Yingzhou City.
Roaring thunder exploded in the sky, hitting people's hearts again and again.
The two sisters held hands and walked carefully.
The attacking barbarian soldiers were already red-eyed, flying dust was swirling in the air, and everyone's swords had a touch of blood.
The fallen corpses, the crawling wounded, the mottled blood... the sky seemed to be getting darker.
"Daddy, daddy." Uneasiness spread in Pei Yubing's heart.
After passing the Duozu Mountain, Pei Shuxue picked up a long knife and held it tightly in his hand.
"careful!"
Pei Yubing raised his head and saw a man leaping into the air from behind the rockery, slashing straight at them with a sharp knife.
Using both hands and feet, Pei Shuxue quickly used a long knife to block it. The swords collided with each other and made a harsh friction sound. Then he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the enemy to the ground. The knife fell and ended the man's life.
The sound of "tapping" footsteps came from far away. Pei Shuxue was about to pull Pei Yubing away when suddenly, a pair of strong hands pulled the two of them into the gap between the two rockeries.
"Jiang Yun!"
When they meet someone close to them, the two sisters' tense and suppressed emotions are suddenly released.
Pei Shuxue quickly threw away the long knife in her hand. The long knife was still stained with the blood of the soldier just now. Just now, she killed a person with her own hands. Without thinking, fierce and decisive. She was shocked by herself like this.
Fortunately, she had learned self-defense skills, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"You two ladies, the prefect sent me to meet you. Follow me."
The two of them followed Jiang Yun carefully and finally met their father.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
The two sisters called at the same time.
The two of them stepped forward at the same time, hugged their father tightly, and sobbed softly.
They had just tried their best to suppress the tears that were rolling around them. After all, they were only women, and they were the daughters of a noble prefect. They had never seen such a scene before.
Taishou Pei sighed deeply, and put his hands on the heads of his two daughters respectively, again and again, as if to comfort them.
The change happened so quickly that no one expected it.
"Dad, why did the barbarians suddenly invade? What happened?" Pei Yubing asked tremblingly.
"Bing'er, Xue'er, listen, Jiang Yun will take you out of the secret room in a while. You go to Luo City, and there will be someone there to help you."
"What about you, dad? Aren't you coming with us?"
Pei Yubing was even more uneasy when he saw his father confessing like this.
Governor Pei shook his head. Now that Yingzhou city was lost, how could he, as the governor, leave just like that?
"You go first, and dad will join you later."
"No! Let's go together."
"Yes, daddy, we don't want to be separated from you."
"obedient."
Seeing that he was helpless, Governor Pei had no choice but to show his usual majesty as the head of the family and growled.
At this time, Yingzhou City, which was shrouded by "dark clouds", suddenly lit up.
The weak flames spread quickly with the help of the wind, sweeping across Yingzhou like an angry sea beast. Countless people ran, fought, and twisted in this fire until they fell...
"Let's go!" As he spoke, Prefect Pei pushed open the secret room door.
The two sisters were pushed inside, and when the door to the secret passage was closed again, they felt like two worlds separated by one door, blocking out the fighting and chaos.
After exiting the secret passage, there was a carriage parked at the door.
Several people looked around nervously. Time seemed to stand still, the air seemed to be frozen, and every second here was suffering.
"Jiang Yun, I leave it to you to ensure that they reach Luo City safely." Prefect Pei looked at Jiang Yun beside him with a determined look.
Jiang Yun had been with him for so many years, through life and death, and he had given all his hopes to Jiang Yun.
"Master, don't worry, my subordinates will escort the two young ladies to Luo City safely." Jiang Yun vowed to show his loyalty to the death.
"Okay, you go quickly." Prefect Pei pushed the two sisters.
The two sisters grabbed their father's sleeves and were reluctant to let go.
"Daddy."
Pei Yubing was afraid. She was afraid that after this farewell, she would never see her father again.
Prefect Pei touched Pei Yubing's head and comforted him softly, then turned to Pei Shuxue, his eyes full of apology, "Xue'er, daddy is sorry for you. Today is your big day, but who knew..."
