On the official road leading to Gu County, the horse's hooves splashed a burst of dust, and more than a dozen soldiers in armor galloped past, and some timid passers-by saw this situation, and hugged their heads to avoid it, only to see the backs of those people disappear, before they dared to whisper in their mouths: "This is not a peaceful world, when will it be peaceful." ”

These burly men are naturally Shen Zhuo's cronies in the camp, and the one who started was Shen Zhuo himself, his expression was tense, and the horses he stepped down ran fast and urgently, and he had thrown the soldiers behind him a few feet away.

Wan Fu was also among them, and he and the soldiers fell behind Shen Zhuo, and among them was a square-faced soldier who complained to Wan Fu while beating his horse: "Damn, if I am asked to catch this Yongning Hou, Lao Tzu will have to chop him into meat puree." ”

Wanfu wiped a handful of sweat, and he said viciously: "You don't need to do it, our uncle will definitely not let this guy go!" ”

The soldier who spoke took the time to roll his eyes at Wanfu, and he said, "You still have the face to say, if you didn't lose your wife, why would we be like this?" ”

Wanfu was anxious, he turned his head and argued: "What do you know, there are many of them, I rushed up rashly, I can't save the eldest grandmother, don't say it, when I am arrested together, who will report to the uncle?" ”

The soldier snorted and said, "If you are afraid of death, just say it!" ”

Wan Fu's face was flushed with anger, and he said, "You are a brave and unscrupulous soldier, you don't know as much as I do." ”

When the two were arguing, a clumsy voice came from the front: "Don't talk too much, don't hurry up." ”

The two of them were silent in unison, and after Shen Zhuo finished speaking, he whipped a few times, and the horse ran faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, he distanced himself from the soldiers behind him.

There is still a short distance to Gu County, all the soldiers followed Shen Zhuo to bury their heads on the road, at this time, the person in front of the road explorer rode back to pass the word, he stood on the horse pedal, and said to Shen Zhuo: "My lord, I suspect that I saw the servants of the Yongding Marquis Mansion in front. ”

Shen Zhuo's eyes darkened, and he said, "Bring it here." ”

Wanfu and a few other soldiers went forward with the spies, Shen Shu stopped his horse and stopped in place, without a trace of expression on his face, looking up at the direction of Gu County in the distance.

In less than a moment, his soldiers drove a group of people who looked like domestic servants to come from afar, Shen Zhuo grabbed the horse's belly, walked a few steps forward, he glanced at these people, and said in a deep voice: "Which of you is in charge?" ”

These people were indeed the servants of the Yongding Marquis Mansion who were left behind, and one of them was a forty-year-old elder who recognized Shen Zhuo, and he knelt in front of Shen Zhuo with a 'plop', and howled: "Lord Shen, this is none of our business, the person who escorted Mrs. Zun to ask for a reward is the eldest master of my family." ”

One of Shen Zhuo's soldiers whipped him and shouted, "My lord didn't ask you, who told you to talk too much." ”

Chang Sui slapped his mouth twice, bumped his head a few more times, and waited for Shen Zhuo to ask, Shen Zhuo stared at him with both eyes and asked, "What about Zhao Ji?" ”

Chang Sui was so frightened that he trembled, and he said: "After arriving in Gu County, the master left us and took Mrs. Zun into the county seat. ”

In an instant, Shen Zhuo's face turned pale, his eyes were cold, at this time, whether it was Yongdinghou's servant or Shen Zhuo's own cronies, everyone did not dare to say anything.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Zhuo beckoned to Wanfu, Wanfu came to Shen Zhuo nervously, he looked up at his uncle, only to see the corners of his mouth drooping, with an indescribable yin owl in his expression, Wanfu seemed to be the first time to see such an uncle.

"You take a few people, go to Changyang quickly, and take Brother Yu'er over." Shen Zhuo said.

Wan Fu replied yes with his hand, and then galloped away with a few soldiers on horseback.

Wanfu left, Shen Zhuo looked ahead without saying a word, and the servants of the Yongding Marquis Mansion who were kneeling on the ground trembled with fear, lest they anger Shen Zhuo and invite a catastrophe.

A close soldier stepped forward boldly, and he asked, "My lord, are we still going to Gu County?" ”

"No need." Shen Zhuo said expressionlessly.

Then the soldier asked, "What will happen to these people?" ”

Shen Zhuo glanced at them and said in a flat tone, "Kill." ”

The servants below were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they cried out one after another: "Lord Shen spares his life, this is all the decision of the eldest master, and it has nothing to do with us slaves." ”

Shen Zhuo turned a deaf ear, he turned his horse's head and returned to Qin County.

Gu County, Gu Sanniang looked at An Shi in front of her, she was wearing a plain brocade robe, and there was no hairpin ring on her head, but she hadn't seen her for a few months, and her demeanor seemed to be more than ten years old.

After escaping from the capital that day, they had a total of more than 3,000 people in this small court, plus more than 30,000 royal guards, and fled all the way to Gu County, losing more than half of the people and horses, and the little emperor's biological mother Li Concubine couldn't stand the fright and died of illness on the way.

Right now, the An family and the little emperor and others live in the mansion of the county order of Guxian County, this mansion is just a two-entry mansion, naturally not compared with the palace in the capital city, but this county is in danger, and it is impossible to say that the city gate will be broken one day, where do they dare to complain.

The previous Concubine An has now become the Empress Dowager An, when Gu Sanniang was looking at her, she was also looking back at Gu Sanniang, thinking that Gu Sanniang fell into her hands, there was a trace of madness in Empress Dowager An's eyes that could not be hidden.

Until Zhao Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted: "Queen Mother, the traitor Gu has been caught, as long as she is a hostage, the traitor Shen Zhuo will be jealous, and then it will be the day for us to fight back." ”

He was reminding An Shi Mo to forget to promise him benefits, how could Empress Dowager An not see his thoughts, she smiled slightly, and said: "Zhao Qing has merit in capturing the prisoner's wife, and when he returns it one day, the emperor will reward him for his meritorious deeds!" ”

Listening to her words, Zhao Ji was overjoyed, full of feeling that he had chosen the right path, and he said excitedly: "This is what Weichen should do." ”

Empress Dowager An encouraged him a few more words, and then gave a look to the little eunuch beside her, and the little eunuch politely invited Zhao Ji out.

There were only Empress Dowager An and Gu Sanniang left in the house, as well as Liu Wupo who was holding Brother Hu'er, and there were a few palace maids, Empress Dowager An slowly walked down the steps, she stood in front of Gu Sanniang, and said, "Mrs. Shen, don't come unharmed!" ”

Gu Sanniang was extremely disgusted with Empress Dowager An's hypocrisy, so she pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything.

Empress Dowager An didn't care, she lifted her sideburns and said, "It's a pity, I've escaped for so long, and I still haven't been able to escape from the palm of my hand." ”

Seeing that her eyebrows were full of pride, Gu Sanniang's lips turned upward, and she said, "The little woman is not lucky, I admit it." ”

Empress Dowager An approached her and said, "Not only is your luck bad, it seems that Shen Chu's luck is also not good, tell me, will you be a widow again?" ”

Gu Sanniang raised her eyes to look at Empress Dowager An, and she said coldly: "It's hard to say whether I will become a widow again, but Empress Dowager An, you became a widow at a young age, and you can't remarry like me, I hope you can plan for yourself." ”

"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to the Queen Mother!" A grandmother beside Empress Dowager An didn't say a word, and slapped Gu Sanniang when she came up, Gu Sanniang was beaten so that her eyes were full of stars, and her cheeks immediately became swollen.

"Big grandma!" Liu Wupo screamed, looking at Gu Sanniang worriedly, they are now under the eaves and have to bow their heads, why bother to talk to An Shi again.

Empress Dowager An looked at her sarcastically, and she said, "Do you want to provoke me, I advise you to recognize the reality." ”

As she spoke, she paced close to Liu Wupo, wanting to take a look at the little brother, Liu Wupo subconsciously took a few steps back, not wanting to, the previous beating grandmother slapped Liu Wupo in the face again.

Liu Wupo is old, how can she withstand this slap, her body is crooked, she slumped on the ground, but her hands are still protecting Brother Hu'er, Gu Sanniang saw this, her face changed greatly, she rushed over and hugged Liu Wupo, and shouted: "Fifth woman!" ”

Liu Wupo was beaten to the point of dizziness and tinnitus, she has been in the Jiang family all her life, serving the old and young masters for generations, and has never been so humiliated, the old mother wanted to snatch the little brother in her hand, Gu Sanniang pushed her away, and stood in front of Liu Wupo.

Mama sneered, and she said, "Mrs. Shen, it seems that your masters and servants are all people who don't know the times." ”

After speaking, she beckoned two palace maids to pull Gu Sanniang away, and snatched the little brother from Liu Wupo's hand, the little brother was surprised and cried.

Gu Sanniang's eyes widened, she stared at Empress Dowager An, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Empress Dowager An didn't answer her words, the old lady hugged Brother Tiger in front of her, she reached out and touched the little brother's face, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "The facial features don't look like Shen Zhuo." ”

Gu Sanniang didn't say a word, she stared at the Empress Dowager An tightly, for fear that her next step would be unfavorable to the little brother.

It's just that Empress Dowager An obviously didn't plan to do this at this time, she waved her hand, and the grandmother hugged the little brother and retreated behind her, and Empress Dowager An looked at Gu Sanniang again, and said with a smile: "You fell into the hands of this palace, I don't know how Shen Zhuo plans to save you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a little eunuch trotted in and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, Prime Minister An asks to see you." ”

The Prime Minister An he called in his mouth was An Ruhai, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager An, and when he heard that Gu Sanniang had been caught, he hurriedly came to see the Empress Dowager An.

Empress Dowager An said: "Xuan." ”

The little eunuch went out to spread the word, and in less than a moment, he saw An Ruhai enter the inner room, he glanced at Gu Sanniang, and said happily: "Queen Mother, this is really God's help, Shen Zhuo and Gu's husband and wife have a deep relationship, let's catch Gu's, I'm not afraid that he won't retreat." ”

Empress Dowager An frowned slightly, and she said lightly: "Brother, don't think that we will win the game, throughout the ages, men have competed for the country, how could he have retreated half a step because of a woman." ”

An Ruhai knew that he was speechless, Shen Zhuo was his sister's ex-husband, although so many years have passed, she must be uncomfortable when she says that he loves another woman deeply.

An Ruhai bowed her head and was silent, Empress Dowager An looked at Gu Sanniang, and then said to An Ruhai: "However, since the Gu family is in my hands, I have to make good use of her value, and I will leave these things to my brother to do." 166 Reading Network
