Chapter 246: Different Paths to the Same End

In Bianjing City, in front of the Hou Mansion, a man and a woman stood on the spot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe man was sitting on a six-wheeled vehicle, it was Li Jingxian, and the woman was standing next to her and holding her young son, it was Ah Qiu. Han Xiaoyue said goodbye without saying goodbye, and the two had plans to find the Li brothers and sisters to help. But when I arrived at the Hou Mansion, I found that the door of the mansion had already been closed and the seal of the official mansion was pasted. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing why.

Ah Qiu secretly glanced at Li Jingxian. She could see at a glance that Li Jingxian had already shown an anxious look on his face, and secretly said in his heart: "Jingxian must have been anxious!" After thinking about it, she hurriedly comforted: "Jingxian, don't worry, I'll ask first." Li Jingxian nodded and looked back at a silk shop opposite the mansion gate. Ah Qiu understood her intentions, so she hugged Tong'er and turned in.

The shopkeeper of the silk shop thought that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door, but he saw that it was a country girl. Indeed, the dress of Li Jingxian and A Qiu is indeed different from the dress of the people in Bianjing City, and it slightly looks more rustic. The shopkeeper was about to welcome him, but before the word "Huan" could be spoken, he swallowed it back again, and said angrily: "Ah, girl, what is this expensive?" A Qiu gave a deep salute and said: "The shopkeeper, I want to inquire with you about something." There is a family living in the Hou Mansion opposite, but the old Tang Wang's family?"

The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyelids, shook his head and said, "Girl, don't you see clearly? What I want to ask is, who lived in the Hou Mansion before, but the old Tang Wang?" the shopkeeper nodded yes. Ah Qiu continued to ask, "So now, where did the old Tang Wang's family go?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper glared and said, "Why do you ask this?" Ah Qiu thought for a moment and said: "The two sons of the old Tang King are my old friends, and they happened to be passing by, and they were thinking about coming over to visit. ”

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and then looked at Ah Qiu's side and saw that there was no one left and right, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then you still dare to come?" Girl, don't ask! Now if you talk about the Hou Mansion in private, you will kill your head!

The shopkeeper was very scared, but when he saw that there was no one around, he couldn't help the urge to talk a few words in his heart, so he lowered his voice and said, "Girl, there is no one else anyway." Since you asked, then I'll tell you, you are not allowed to tell others!" Ah Qiu listened, and said happily in his heart: "Look at this shopkeeper, this matter must have been held in my heart for a long time!" Thinking about it, he nodded in response. The shopkeeper coughed lightly and continued, "Old Tang Wang was beheaded by His Majesty two months ago!"

"How can this be?" Ah Qiuwan didn't expect that this would be the result, and said in surprise, "Isn't the old Tang king already demoted to a marquis, why did he still lose his life? What about his family?" After hearing this, the shopkeeper came to his senses, as if he knew some great secret, and said mysteriously: "Haven't you heard of this? The eldest son of the old Tang king killed all the soldiers guarding the city at the south gate, a total of thirty-two people, and fled with the second son! His Majesty issued a decree that the whole country should arrest these two people, and the old Tang king was beheaded for the crime of rebellion. For such a long time, those two sons haven't even seen a figure, do you think it's weird?"

Ah Qiu continued to ask: "Rebellion, why do you want to rebel?" The shopkeeper said: "I heard that there was a vote of people who wanted to leave the city that day, and the daughter of the old Tang King insisted on blocking it and was beheaded. And all this was done under the noses of the soldiers guarding the city at the south gate. You say, if anyone saw the murder of your loved ones, they let the murderer go. Whose body is this matter resting on, and who can not be in a hurry?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper seemed to feel that his tone was getting higher and higher, so he lowered his voice a little and continued, "No, when the eldest prince learned about it, he was furious, and he slaughtered all the soldiers who were guarding the south gate at that time. ”

After hearing this, Ah Qiu nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "This is bad." The Li brothers and sisters, one died, two ran away, and even the old Tang King was in a different place. Then, Ah Qiu asked, "Who is that vote?" The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Then how do I know?" However, seeing that they each hold swords, they must have practiced martial arts. There are so many of them, if I had been far away!"

Ah Qiu listened, looked at Li Jingxian, who was waiting in front of the mansion, and said to himself: "If Jingxian knows, I'm afraid I'll lose my soul again!" The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and the little thing buried in his heart was finally told to people, and he seemed to be very happy, so he smiled and said: "Girl, that's all I know." Again, let's go, don't get involved!"

Ah Qiu smiled: "Then thank you shopkeeper, farewell!" said and left some broken silver. The shopkeeper took the silver with peace of mind, looked at the back of Ah Qiu leaving, and instructed: "Girl, don't tell others!"

Out of the silk shop, Li Jingxian anxiously rocked the six-wheeled cart to meet him and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" Ah Qiu thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Just as she was about to speak, someone suddenly stepped forward and said, "Two, inquire, this ......" The two of them heard the sound and went to see that the people who came were actually Zhao Zhun and Zhao Mo.

The last time they met, Zhao Zhun was still the commander of the troops who returned from Shu, and Zhao Mo was also the princess of Changyou of the Great Song Dynasty. When they met again, not only did Li Jingxian cripple his legs, but he also had a daughter with Ah Qiu. And Zhao Zhun has also been disarmed and returned to the field, Qingsi has become full of white hair, Zhao Mo is no different from ordinary village women, and the two of them have no extravagance at all.

The four of them looked at each other for a moment, only feeling familiar to each other, but they didn't know why.

Zhao Zhun first opened his mouth to break the silence and said: "Two, we seem to have met ...... somewhere" he said, looked at Li Jingxian and said, "This brother, have you ever been a soldier in my Great Song Dynasty?" Li Jingxian shook his head and said: "I was born in Shu, how could I be a soldier in the Song Kingdom...... I also think where we've met, I just can't remember for a moment......"

Zhao Mo recalled carefully. To be able to find the Li brothers and sisters at the same time, there must be mutual friends, and when they had an idea in their hearts, they asked, "Do you know Han Xiaoyue?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Jingxian suddenly remembered the identities of the two of them, and hurriedly said: "Oh! Are the two of you the handsome and the princess who attended Brother Han's wedding in the Kuzen Temple?" Zhao Zhun nodded and said: Yes. If I'm not mistaken, you're that little brother next to Xiaoyue!"

Li Jingxian nodded and said, "Under Li Jingxian." As he spoke, he introduced Ah Qiu, and then looked at Zhao Zhundao, "Dashuai, how can you ...... it for a few years" Zhao Zhun listened, waved his hand and said: "Such a trivial matter, don't mention it." We came to Bianjing this time for Han Xiaoyue. I heard that the Hou Mansion of the Old Tang King is nearby, have you ever found it?"
