Chapter 279: Piercing Thirty-Seven
Without Su Qingni's action, the blood droplets were killed by several children. The thirteenth elder brother looked at the corpse of the blood droplet, and he was not able to accept the truth for a long time. The royal elder brothers have some of their own forces in their hands, but most of them are to win over the courtiers and the subordinates and guards in the living mansion, and he is really the only one who raises killers by himself like the fourth elder brother. The fourth brother of his own family is too bold. He's not afraid of Huang Amma, you know?
Immediately, the thirteenth elder brother smiled bitterly, the fourth brother was hiding so deeply, how could Huang Ama know.
For a while, the thirteenth elder brother felt that the fourth brother was very unfamiliar. The fourth brother he knows is only a small part of what the fourth brother is willing to let him know, right? What about the brotherhood between them?
The thirteenth elder brother's smile was extremely bitter, and this realization made his heart ache incomparably.
Su Qingni stepped forward and patted the thirteenth elder brother on the shoulder, which was comforting.
The thirteenth elder brother said in a hoarse voice: "I feel like a failure as a man. I thought that Huang Ama really felt sorry for my son, but I didn't expect him to turn his face and give up on me ruthlessly and knock me to hell; I thought that the fourth brother really regarded me as a brother and would not hide anything from me, but I didn't know that the fourth brother had so many secrets, and I didn't know it. Father-son love, brotherhood, I haven't really gotten anything. ”
What could Su Qingni say, she could only pat the thirteenth elder brother on the shoulder comfortingly.
On the other side, several children buried the bodies of the blood droplets and walked over.
This place can't stay any longer, Su Qingni asked everyone to get into the carriage, and Xiao Jia drove the carriage to Tongzhou overnight.
On the way, Su Qingni asked several children to wear human skin masks made by themselves, and all of them changed their appearances, letting Xiao Bing and Xiao Ding dress up as boys. In this way, when they arrive at the notice, they encounter the person at the sticky pole, but they are not recognized by the person at the sticky pole.
The group stayed in Tongzhou for a few days and then boarded the fleet to go to sea. Su Qingni asked the opinions of several children, if they were not willing to go to sea, then she would arrange for them to live in other places, and she would give each of them 5,000 taels of silver as a settlement fee. But several children were reluctant to be separated from Su Qingni, and after this incident, they were afraid that the sticky rod and the blood droplets would not let them go, and since they fled, they would flee further.
So, everyone, including the baby, got on the boat that went out to sea.
They didn't know that not long after they got on the ship, a few people came from the best main ship in the fleet, and one of them was their old acquaintance: Brother Jiu!
In the past few years, the ninth elder brother has seen clearly that Master Kong has no intention of passing the throne to the eighth elder brother at all, otherwise he would not suppress the eighth elder brother like this. The eighth elder brother also understood that he was unlikely, so he chose to help the fourteenth elder brother and support the fourteenth elder brother to ascend to the throne.
But the ninth elder brother was not convinced by the fourteenth elder brother, he felt that the fourteenth elder brother was not right-minded, and he had already shrunk behind the eighth elder brother to calculate, and he looked down on the fourteenth elder brother's means. Moreover, the relationship between his brother and the fourteenth elder brother is not close, and the fourteenth elder brother is in power, but it may not let him go to sea if he wants to.
Brother Jiu is now disheartened by the battle for the throne, so it is better to run his own business well! On the issue of going to sea, since it is unlikely that the new emperor will go to sea by himself, it is better to sneak out and take a look at the outside world while Huang Ama is still there. Huang Ama is his own father, even if he is angry and leaves without an edict, he will not really do anything to himself. What's more, my mother is still there, and she can still help herself speak. Replace it with a brother as an emperor and hang it.
After Brother Nine got on the ship, the steward reported the affairs of the fleet to Brother Nine.
After hearing that two adults with seven teenagers and a baby came from the boat, Brother Jiu's heart moved, that baby can't be the person that Fourth Elder Brother is looking for, right? Although Fourth Elder Brother is secretive, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Fourth Elder Brother has sent so many subordinates to find a baby, as long as some people in the capital know the news.
What's more, the fourth elder brother is a low-key one, and Lu Ying is not a low-key one. She made a very high-profile fuss, so that everyone in the capital knew that the fourth elder brother had an outer room, and the outer room was still the daughter of a thief. Even the emperor in the palace knew about Lu Ying's existence, and called the fourth elder brother to the palace to scold.
Hehe, now the fourth child has no good impression in Huang Ama's heart. How good it used to be, but now it's all exposed because of a woman. Hmph, I don't believe that Huang Ama will give the throne to this son who can't hook up with the thief.
And the old fourteen...... Nine elder brother is not sour. What's so good about that woman surnamed Lu? Even the old fourteen were so fascinated by this woman that they even went to the fourth child's mansion and beat the fourth child.
Hehe, their mothers were so angry that they vomited blood, and they couldn't wait to swallow that Lu Shi alive. But this Lu clan is very powerful, and he has not been caught in the capital for so long.
"Get someone to find out where the pedestrian came from. "Brother Nine instructed the steward.
"Yes. "The steward answered.
The Thirteenth Elder Brother knew that the Ninth Elder Brother was also in the fleet, and he became interested in their group. Leaving the Tongzhou port, the thirteenth elder brother felt that the whole person was free, and in the next few days, he simply took off his mask and appeared in front of people in his original form. He did not think that the sailors on the ship would recognize him.
It's true that the sailors don't know the Thirteenth Elder Brother, but there are people in the fleet who know him!
His subordinates did not investigate the origin of Su Qingni and his party, so Brother Jiu decided to go out to test it himself.
The ninth elder brother came to the ship where the thirteenth elder brother was riding by a small boat, and as soon as he went to the deck, he saw the thirteenth elder brother standing on the bow of the boat enjoying the sea scenery.
Ninth Elder Brother: "Old Thirteen!"
The thirteenth elder brother turned around: "Ninth brother!"
Brother Jiu: "......"
Thirteenth Elder Brother: "......"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Brother Jiu spoke: "Aren't you imprisoned? ”
Thirteenth elder brother: "Ninth brother, the prince is not allowed to leave Beijing without an edict." Has Huang Ama allowed you to go to Beijing? Has you been allowed to go to sea?"
Brother Jiu: "......"
Thirteenth Elder Brother: "......"
After looking at each other for a long time, Brother Jiu suddenly smiled: "Old Thirteen, I thought you were the filial son of the old man, but it turned out that what you did before was just superficial work." ”
The thirteenth elder brother replied with a smile: "My brother has always been filial to his father, but he loves to play a little. Isn't it the same for Brother Jiu?"
Brother Jiu nodded: "Yes, we just love to play a little bit and want to go out to play." ”
Thirteenth Elder Brother: "Since the destination is the same, there will be Brother Lao Jiu to take care of you along the way." ”
Brother Jiu: "Thirteenth brother, don't worry, the elder brother will take care of the younger brother." ”
