Chapter 2 Sudden Changes
"Little master, the luggage is packed. Ping'er said.
Lin Peng nodded. Then he looked at Bai Mo, who was sitting there staring at him blankly, and patted his shoulder. Bai Mo comprehended, climbed up in three or two, and sat obediently on Lin Peng's shoulder.
In the courtyard, the subordinates were carrying bags of things to the carriage outside the door.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a fight outside the palace. Because most of the soldiers who stayed behind in the palace returned home with bounties. Now there are only 30 people inside and outside the palace, and they are still mainly domestic servants.
After a while, I saw dozens of samurai dressed in black and masked with swords rushing in from outside.
"Kill them all. The masked samurai at the head shouted.
Those who fled everywhere, chased and slashed, and the palace was suddenly in chaos.
Steward Wang held a knife to resist and shouted, "The old slave is in the way, Madame go quickly." ”
"Be careful yourself. Peng'er went with her mother. Jia Shi pulled Lin Shan and Lin Jing and ran to the back door. Lin Peng also picked up Bai Mo and hurriedly followed.
At this time, the courtyard was full of corpses, bloody, and miserable. The masked warriors also chased after the back door, and they chased after them.
Jia Shi looked at the masked warrior who was approaching step by step, looked at Lin Shan and Lin Jing who had already run out of the back door, and looked at Lin Peng who was holding her hand and running out of the door. She smiled, took out the letter in her shirt, and stuffed it into Lin Peng's waist.
At the moment when Lin Peng rushed out of the door, Jia broke free of Lin Peng's hand holding her and retreated into the door. Close the back door, plug in the deadbolt, and you're done.
Lin Peng understood Jia's intentions, tears welled up, he rushed back and slammed the door, shouting, "Mother, come out quickly." ”
"Peng'er, live well. Jia shouted with his back against the door.
"Mother......
"Hurry up, hurry up...... " Jia shouted with all his strength.
Lin Peng paused, then turned around and ran out with Bai Mo in his arms.
The back mountain is high and wooded, which is easy to hide, and Lin Pengfei also ran up the mountain. I don't know how long I ran, I only know that I was exhausted, and Lin Peng sat down against a big tree.
I saw that his whole body was scraped and tattered by the stones and branches on the way to escape, and even his face and fingers were scratched with blood.
Even Bai Mo was not spared, the white hair had been dyed by Lin Peng's blood and sweat, as well as the ash raised on the mountain by the branches of the branches, and it was as dirty as a small ball of mud.
I didn't have time to think about anything else, I looked at the direction he was running from, and found that no one was chasing him, so I gasped for breath with relief.
"I don't know what happened to my mother, even my sisters have been separated. I don't know if they are dead or alive. Lin Peng thought to himself and couldn't help but worry. The bloody scenes just now appeared in his mind one by one.
As if he understood Lin Peng's thoughts, Bai Mo jumped on his shoulder and patted him.
Lin Peng leaned on Bai Mo and said secretly: "It'll be fine." ”
For the next few days, Lin Peng has been hiding in the back mountain. Eat some nuts when you're hungry, and some snow water when you're thirsty. Although there are tributes in the mountain temple all year round, the target is too big and easy to be discovered. Therefore, Lin Peng went back to rest when it was almost dark, and by the way, he ate some tributes to replenish his strength, otherwise he would have to freeze to death in this cold weather.
Lin Peng is careful to go out early and return late every day. Obviously, although no one came to chase him, he still knew the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. The masked warriors won't give up easily.
"What the hell happened?" Lin Peng was puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of the letter his mother had tucked into his waist.
These days, thinking about running for his life and surviving, he has forgotten all about his faith.
Lin Peng took out the crumpled letter pinned to his waist, then unfolded it and took out the letter paper in the middle, reading it word by word. Looking at it, his tears fell involuntarily.
The letter was written by Lin Mufeng. From the content, Lin Peng learned that a few months ago, there was a great chaos in the Banner Palace, and the three princes of the country killed their father and usurped the throne. The crown prince was anxious to show that the guards from all over the country would enter the palace to quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, the third prince had already prepared, and as early as three years ago, he had attracted guards from all over the country. Even Lin Mufeng had been in contact with the three princes' overtures, and he had lived in officialdom for a long time, so Lin Mufeng naturally knew the purpose of the three princes, so he politely refused. Unexpectedly, the third prince sent someone to secretly contact the deputy general and the general of the last city, and bribed them to secretly kill Lin Mufeng if necessary, forcing the soldiers of the Rongwang Mansion to submit to him.
Obviously, the three princes succeeded, and Lin Zhan was killed by the deputy general in the counterinsurgency battle. Lin Mufeng noticed that there was a change and a few personal guards broke out, and he felt ashamed of the lord and the previous king, and wrote a good letter to explain the aftermath, in order to prove his loyalty, and for the peace of the royal palace, he killed himself.
Who would have thought that the third prince did not intend to let his family go, and sent someone to kill them all early.
Losing his father and brother, his mother and two sisters were uncertain about their lives and deaths, and as the youngest child of the Lin family, Lin Peng, who had been clothed and fed since childhood, couldn't help but be a little confused for a while.
Bai Mo just looked at Lin Peng, who was a little sluggish, silently climbed on his shoulder, and leaned lightly.
"I want revenge, yes, I must. At a certain moment, Lin Peng suddenly stood up, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by an incomparable perseverance.
Lin Peng picked up Bai Mo and said to it: "We must take revenge, but first we have to find our mother and sister." ”
Bai Mo looked at the strong Lin Peng in front of him and nodded deeply.
The next night, Lin Peng quietly went down the mountain with Bai Mo and sneaked back to King Rong's mansion. But the front and back doors were sealed, and apparently there was no one inside.
Just when he was at a loss, two night watchmen walked this way while chatting. With a dodge, Lin Peng hid in the corner.
"I heard that this Rongwang Mansion offended the forces in the palace, and the whole family was killed. One of the night watchmen said.
Another night watchman continued: "Everywhere was killed, and the lady of the palace and several children were reportedly arrested and imprisoned in Dali Temple, saying that they were going to be beheaded for public display. ”
Hearing this, Lin Peng's heart suddenly chuckled, and he had mixed feelings.
"Eh, no, the little young master of the palace heard that he escaped. These days, the headhunters of the Tianfu Ya are looking for it in the heavens and the earth. The night watchman said again.
The first night watchman chimed in: "Where can you escape? ”
"I don't know how to save my mother and sisters. Lin Peng leaned against the corner and pondered.
At this time, Bai Mo patted Lin Peng and danced in the moonlight.
Lin Peng understood in an instant: "You mean we can go to Uncle Wei?" Oh, yes, maybe only Uncle Wei can help me now." ”
