273 Flowers of the Other Side
Xu Miaoyi waited for the number of officers and soldiers to search for "bandits" around the mountain, and then began the next plan - the golden cicada came out of its shell. Their group of "bandits", together with Zhu Shouqian, all changed into the military uniforms of the garrison of the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum prepared in advance and wore waist cards.
Zhu Shouqian painted his face yellow, wore a big cotton jacket, cotton pants, and a beard, made a few old scars on his face, and then put on his waist knife.
Xu Miaoyi and his entourage swaggered into Soushan's team and walked out of the encirclement in a grand manner.
When they arrived at the Huai River ferry, everyone took off their military uniforms, put on civilian clothes, dressed up as a caravan, and went all the way north.
At this time, the Huai River had not yet frozen, the north wind was blowing, Zhu Shouqian's face was flushed, his breath was unstable, lying in the grass hut at the ferry, his body was weak, the road to escape was very hard, and he was about to be unable to support it.
"Cousin, wait a little longer, it will be better to get on the merchant ship." Xu Miaoyi put two pieces of ginseng under the root of Zhu Shouqian's tongue and held it in her mouth, and quipped: "Sixteen years ago, I was kicked out of the Yanwang Mansion just three days after giving birth to Zhu Gaoxu, and was forced to go to Beiping to settle the domain. Fortunately, the boat ride is more comfortable, there is no need to bump in the carriage, you see that now I am in good health, Zhu Gaoxi is only sixteen years old, and he is taller than his father. “
Now, there is no turning back, Zhu Shouqian nodded, and pretended to be relaxed: "I know, I, who is a cousin, can't lose to my nephew." “
Xu Miaoyi smiled, "Yes, it's so embarrassing." “
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the attendant outside shouting: "Our ship is coming!" “
Xu Miaoyi is thoughtful, the escape plan is linked one by one, there must be someone to answer everywhere, this big merchant ship was bought by her a long time ago, and the shipwrights and merchants on it are all disguised by the people of Yanwangfu, and they must be foolproof.
Xu Miaoyi helped Zhu Shouqian out of the grass house, the merchant ship slowly docked, the captain wearing a hat on the bow of the ship put down the pedal, Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Shouqian stepped on the pedal and walked to the deck of the merchant ship, the deck was slippery, Xu Miaoyi stood unsteady for a while, and saw that she was about to hit the railing, the captain pulled her shoulders and hugged her in his arms.
"Zhu Di?"
"Brother-in-law?"
Zhu Di said with a calm face: "What are you doing in a daze?" It's so cold outside, why don't you go in and warm up. “
Zhu Di also ignored Zhu Shouqian, and half-hugged Xu Miaoyi into the cabin.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhu Di checked from head to toe, and saw that Xu Miaoyi was safe and sound, so he began to teach his wife a lesson, "You are too impulsive!" Why don't you talk to me? Will I not say yes? Last time my daughter was kidnapped, I was far away in the northeast to fight, you didn't wait for me to come back, and took the risk of forming an alliance with the Tatar Ministry to save your daughter. But you came to Fengyang to save Zhu Shouqian, and deliberately left me under the pretext of leaving me, it's just-"
The rest of Zhu Di's words were blocked by Xu Miaoyi's kiss.
But Zhu Di was very angry and couldn't let it go easily, he quickly pushed his wife away and continued to teach: "It's just reckless and ignorant!" Do you think that the letter from the fifth brother-in-law Feng was just accidental? No, it must be a trap for the East Palace! Feng Cheng has been released from the prison of the Criminal Department, and there is something unspeakable-"
Xu Miaoyi stood on tiptoe and kissed her husband again, and when the merchant ship re-anchored and opened the middle of the Huai River, Xu Miaoyi was willing to let go of Zhu Di, whose anger gradually subsided, "I know, I know, but I still have to save my cousin." Just like you, knowing that there is danger, you have to follow my footsteps and come to Fengyang to save me. “
Zhu Di was still angry, and asked, "Is I important or is your cousin important?" “
Xu Miaoyi hugged Zhu Di and kissed her, "It's all important, you are all the people I swore to protect." If you are in danger, I will do the same to save you. “
Zhu Di still had a stiff face, "If your cousin and I both fall into the river, will you save that?" “
Xu Miaoyi was stunned, and the three kisses were uneven, is this to quarrel to go back to Beiping? She rolled her eyes and thought of a plan to lead the way to the east, and pretended to jump to her feet, "Hey! It's almost there, I haven't settled old accounts with you, and I partnered with my cousin to deceive me, and I have been deceived for more than 20 years! “
Zhu Di waited for this sentence, and hurriedly continued: "Okay, the old accounts and the new accounts will be settled together, the two of us will settle the matter, and from now on, no one is allowed to turn over the old accounts, and they will be revealed!" “
Xu Miaoyi saw that her husband let her go, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, "Okay, a word is a deal!" High fives for vows! “
Clapping his palms together, Zhu Di immediately changed his face, his face was full of smiles, and then his fingers were interlocked, holding Miaoyi's hand tightly.
Xu Miaoyi realized that she had been fooled, "Ah, you did it on purpose!" You're not angry at all, are you? You're just trying to find a reason to go down the stairs and not allow me to go through old accounts! ”
Zhu Di said with a smile: "You said it yourself, we can't turn over old accounts when we look forward in the future." ”
Xu Miaoyi choked, and Zhu Di kissed her, "From now on, you are not allowed to act without permission, otherwise I will still be angry." ”
Xu Miaoyi regretted it, "I'm old, and I still play this kind of trick, and my skin is thicker than the ship's board!" ”
Zhu Di immediately said: "You go back on your word and say that you are not allowed to turn over the old accounts......"
Although the planks are thick, they are basically not soundproof, and the words spoken in the cabin next door seem to be in the ears. Zhu Shouqian lay on the couch, quietly listening to the quarrel between Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi, the cold wind was howling outside, but he tasted the quiet years.
Bang!
There was a loud bang, and a violent explosion shook Zhu Shouqian off the bed.
"Artillery sneak attack! All troops on alert! ”
"The big ship is in the water! Abandon ship and board the boat! ”
…… However, Zhu Shouqian was instantly deaf and couldn't hear anything, and the violent concussion caused his fragile skin to burst almost completely, bleeding outward, every capillary was broken, the whole person was red, and all seven orifices were bleeding!
Zhu Di ran over, picked up Zhu Shouqian, and just walked out of the cabin, another cannon rang out, blowing the cabin to pieces. The huge air flow knocked the three of them together into the corner.
Bang!
The third shelling, but this time the artillery fire fell on the water, stirring up a thousand waves.
The huge waves swept the merchant ships like a waterfall, and Zhu Shouqian, who was covered in blood, was "washed" by the waves, and his body was as pale as paper. Zhu Di, who was soaking wet, took off his clothes and wrapped himself around Xu Miaoyi.
Zhu Shouqian, who was on the side, trembled, sneaked out an oiled paper bag from his arms, opened it, and secretly rejoiced: It's okay, it's not soaked.
Zhu Shouqian swallowed the medicine powder in one go. Xu Miaoyi turned around and happened to see this scene, "No! ”
Zhu Shouqian saw Xu Miaoyi hugging him, crying and saying something, but he couldn't hear it at all, and shook his head, "Cousin, this is Xu's unused half pack of puffer fish ovary powder, I secretly took it away when I left, and I have been hiding it close to me, just to prepare to cut myself off on the way to escape, so as not to affect you." I'm so sorry for letting you run for nothing. ”
Xu Miaoyi cried: "No, my cousin has never been a burden!" You have been burdened with infamy through the ages, and you have protected me with your life for decades! I don't regret saving you! ”
Zhu Shouqian didn't know what his cousin was talking about, he reached out to wipe away the tears on Miaoyi's face, and reluctantly pulled a smile, "You said it, the ovaries of the puffer fish are highly poisonous, and there is no cure, ...... Come on! ”
Tetrodotoxin paralyzed his nerves, Zhu Shouqian began to convulse, and he grabbed Zhu Di's wrist with his last strength, "Brother-in-law, I'm leaving, you ...... You have to be good...... Take care of ......"
The nerve poison quickly paralyzed the brain, and his lips and tongue did not obey the call, Zhu Shouqian had to turn his head and look at Xu Miaoyi fixedly, his vision was quickly blurred, he blinked, and tried to look at his cousin for the last time, until his pupils went out.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth, forcibly took Xu Miaoyi away, and jumped off the icy Huai River together.
Bang!
The artillery fire rang out again, blowing the merchant ship in two parts, and the merchant ship sank.
Zhu Di dragged Xu Miaoyi onto the boat, and the boat rose and fell on the Huai River, avoiding the attack of artillery fire, and soon drifted to the opposite bank, where the shore was bitterly cold, and the silt was frozen into iron lumps.
The guards were about to land when a group of men and horses rushed to the shore and shot arrows at the boat!
There was an artillery sneak attack in front, and a bow and arrow in pursuit. It looks like we're going to be wiped out, and there will be no room for survival!
Xu Miaoyi felt that her grief was frozen in her body by the cold water and cold wind, and there seemed to be countless steel needles piercing her whole body, like rolling on the needleboard, and her cousin's death was like an ice hammer piercing the heart! It hurts and it hurts!
The guards held up a piece of the exploding shipboard as a shield to protect Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi. The cold wind is coming, almost freezing the group of people who have just escaped from the cold water into ice sculptures!
In the midst of the stalemate, another group of men arrived, and they lit up the □□ with the pursuing party shooting arrows from afar!
The team on the shore instantly fell into a large piece, and someone pointed to the flag of the sneak attack □□ team and shouted: "It's the Shenji Battalion!" ”
Camp Divine Machine! It's the emperor's man!
Seeing that the opponent was strong, the pursuing team did not dare to make a mistake, so they hurriedly raised their hands and shouted: "Stop shooting!" It's all your own people! “
The Shenji Battalion is the elite around the emperor and is well-equipped, led by Ji Gang and Mingyue.
Ji Gang snorted coldly, "What are you doing?" Playing with guns on the Huai River in winter? What about fried fish for the New Year? ”
The leader of the pursuit team handed over the waist card with both hands, "This lord, we are the people of the Fengyang Mansion Guard, and we were shocked to hear that King Yan went out of the domain without permission and intended to rebel, and we were ordered to besiege and rehabilitate!" ”
Ji Gang glanced at his waist, "Which of you has seen King Yan?" ”
The leader pointed to the boat not far away and said, "Which one is the rebellious King Yan, I saw it, it is the person in the portrait!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I saw it too! ”
"We've all seen it!"
Ji Gang asked, "Really?" You're not mistaken? ”
"Nope!" Everyone replied in unison.
Ji Gang smiled: "Very good, then I don't have to bother to distinguish who is innocent, let's die together!" ”
After a dense burst of gunfire, the south bank of the Huai River was stained red with blood...... 166 Reading Network
