Chapter 422: The Great Families

The matter was urgent, and Cui Zixuan decided to set off overnight.

This is only seven hundred miles away from Daliang, Cui Zixuan and his party traveled day and night, it took five days, and finally it was only more than seventy or eighty miles away from Daliang City, in fact, if it wasn't for his despair and excessive vomiting of blood and hurting his body, he would have arrived half a day ago.

It's night now, looking at the distant Daliang City under the twilight, every time I came here in the past, how I was like an arrow, and how scared I was at the moment.

Cui Zixuan stopped galloping his horse and looked ahead with his head tilted up, but in a few days, he had lost weight and his posture was still upright, but anyone could feel the uncatharsian despair that shrouded him.

At this moment, Cui Zixuan tilted his head slightly, and he asked in a dumb voice towards the guard beside him, "Did you hear any sound?"

The guard listened attentively to his example, and after a while, he whispered, "It's the mountain col on the right, and there is movement there." ”

"Check it out. ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, there was a faint crying sound from the mountain col, and in the blink of an eye, several guards hurried towards Cui Zixuan, and said in a trembling voice: "Lang Jun, it's the old lady, they are out of the city, and when they heard our movement just now, they hid in the mountain col." ”

Cui Zixuan grimaced, and he ordered in a dumb voice: "Sweep away all traces, let's enter the mountain pass." ”

"Yes. ”

This col is not big, but it is densely packed with people, and when Cui Zixuan entered, he saw his grandmother, Mrs. Lu and other family elders at a glance.

In the dim moonlight, Cui Zixuan only glanced at it, and found that this small col was hiding thousands of people.

- I'm afraid that all the descendants of the family who are still in Daliang will flee here.

Cui Zixuan wanted to sneer, but in the end, he just had a cold face, and he strode towards Old Madam Cui.

At this time, hundreds of family elders also noticed his arrival, and some clan elders led by Mrs. Cui hurriedly stood up, they looked at Cui Zixuan with blank eyes, and their cloudy eyes became bright at this moment, as if Cui Zixuan's arrival brought them hope.

In the past, I never felt that at this moment, Cui Zixuan only felt a heartfelt disgust and exhaustion.

He strode up to Old Madam Cui, and did not salute her, he had a wooden face, his eyes swept over these elders who were either afraid or desperate or looked at him with hopeful eyes, and after a while, Cui Zixuan asked in a dumb voice: "What happened in the city? Is Chai Rong dead?"

Old Madam Cui and Old Madam Lu froze at the same time, and after a while, some clan elders nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes." While there was chaos in the city, we went out of the city. In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Cui hurriedly said, "Xuan'er, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”

Cui Zixuan asked, "Where to go?"

Old Madam Cui hurriedly replied: "The farther away from the beam, the better!"

Cui Zixuan wanted to laugh, in fact, he didn't notice that his expression at this time was terrifyingly cold, strong disgust and exhaustion, woven into the most thrilling despair, only to see him staring directly at Old Madam Cui coldly, and asked in a dumb voice: "In this world, is there still a place where we can go?"

Old Madam Cui was stunned and froze. The clan elders behind her also froze.

Cui Zixuan looked at them coldly, and said in a dumb voice: "The family's thousand-year-old foundation, thousand-year-old reputation, and all the descendants of the family have all been bet on Chai Rong by us, and now, Chai Rong has been poisoned by you, in this world, which country and place is willing to take us in?"

Old Madam Cui and Old Madam Lu turned pale, and Old Madam Cui slowly fell to the ground. The clan elders who were full of expectations for Cui Zixuan and longed for him to turn the tide again were all ashen at this time.

Cui Zixuan retracted his gaze, he looked at the two thousand five hundred guards he brought, and said in a dumb voice: "Call everyone up, let's get ready to go." ”

Mrs. Cui Wu shouted from behind, "Xuanlang, where are you going to take everyone to?"

Cui Zixuan didn't look back, his emaciated figure was cold, "Wherever you can escape, you can go!"

......

Later in the Zhou barracks.

Li Zongnan and several family members were gathered in Cui Zixuan's tent. Although Cui Zixuan is gone, he has always been the leader of the family, and his camp also has a detailed map of Hou Shu and various secret information left by him, so this time, these family members will gather here whenever they have free time to discuss the next strategy for cutting down Shu.

Just as their argument arose, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and in the blink of an eye, a Cui Zixuan's trusted guard rushed into the tent. As soon as he saw the children, he fell to the ground with a thud, and struggled to support his upper body, and he gasped and said anxiously to the children: "Great, it's not good......

Li Zongnan hurriedly asked people to help him up.

The guard has been following Cui Zixuan since he was a child, and he is the most stable, as soon as he relieved himself, he glanced at the camp tent and said, "It's an internal matter of the family, let outsiders out." ”

Li Zongnan hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the guards to clean up the people around them.

When there were only a few descendants in the camp, the guard said with tears in his eyes: "Da Liang, something happened to Da Liang. Old Madam Cui and Old Madam Lu sent assassins to assassinate Chai Zongxun at Chai Zongxun's birthday banquet, but unexpectedly stabbed His Majesty Chai Rong by mistake, and the blade of the sword was coated with poison. Lang Jun asked, there is no solution to the poison!"

Li Zongnan and the others instantly turned pale.

At this time, the guard continued: "Also, the assassins at that time had fallen into the hands of the royal family, and the clan elders were afraid that something would happen, so they moved some Xiao Langjun out of Daliang at that time. ”

Speaking of this, the guard took out the letters and tokens that Cui Zixuan had written in a hurry from his arms, choked up and continued: "Lang Jun said, let all Lang Jun immediately assemble the team and escape from the barracks before Zhao Kuangyin reacts." ”

Li Zongnan opened the envelope tremblingly, there were only a few lines on the letter, and sure enough, Cui Zixuan asked them to leave the barracks immediately.

What is it like to be alone in a bloody struggle in the dark, but at the last moment of dawn to fall back into the boundless abyss of despair? For a moment, Li Zongnan only felt a dull pain in his heart, and his eyes were also blackened...... Forcibly spitting back the blood that had surged to his throat, Li Zongnan said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, go and call Cui Xin, Lu Gan, Zheng Xing, Wang Dynasty, and Li Yan over." ”

"Yes!"

......

At this time, Zheng Xing and Lu Jian were in Zhao Kuangyin's tent, and the three of them stood in front of a map of Houshu, whispering a few words from time to time.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and a soldier shouted outside the camp tent: "General, Daliang has sent a flying pigeon to pass the book." ”

Although it is a book of flying pigeons, the book is made of two or three pieces of paper folded. Zhao Kuangyin walked over, he took the flying pigeon book, and opened it to read.

After a glance, Zhao Kuangyin was stiff, and in a blink of an eye, he continued to read as if nothing had happened, and after a while, he handed the letter to Shi Shouxin, the deputy general on the side.

After Shi Shouxin got the letter, he was also stiff.

Zhao Kuangyin took his hand and walked slowly to Lu Gan's side, he and Lu Gan looked at the map on the wall together, and after a while, Zhao Kuangyin sighed softly: "This Hou Shu is very good, I don't know how long it will take to fall into our hands?"

While sighing, he took out the saber hanging on the wall, and with a whoosh, the long sword was unsheathed, and Zhao Kuangyin admired the blade of the saber in the sunlight reflected in the tent.

On one side, handsome and melancholy, always a noble son with affection in his eyes, Zheng Xing, the sister-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang, turned his head, and he glanced at Zhao Kuangyin.

Zheng Xing glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, and then withdrew his gaze, but at this moment, his vest was cold, and a sharp pain hit, Zheng Xing turned his head slowly, slowly, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin standing behind him in astonishment, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood foam, Zheng Xing muttered and asked, "For, why?"

At the same time, Shi Shouxin, who had read the letter, also waved his hand, and several swords were placed on Lu Yan's neck at the same time.

Facing the two stunned noble sons, Zhao Kuangyin took the letter from Shi Shouxin's hand, he shook the letter in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "The major families of Daliang, under the leadership of the old lady Lu of the Fanyang Lu clan and the old lady Cui of the Cui clan of Boling, used a highly poisonous sword to assassinate the prince Chai Zongxun, and accidentally injured His Majesty Chai Rong, and now His Majesty is bedridden, the imperial doctor diagnoses, and His Majesty's life is only a few days!" The two of you can't help it, Zhao Kuangyin has the great grace of His Majesty, and he has to avenge him!"

"So that's ......" The blood foam in Zheng Xing's mouth kept gushing, his eyes were already sloppy, and as Zhao Kuangyin pulled out his sword, he smiled dumbly and said, "So that's the case...... I should have known this a long time ago...... I should have ...... a long time ago" He didn't finish his words, those melancholy and affectionate eyes, there was endless remorse and disgust at this moment, exhaustion and relief poured out, until his body fell to the ground with a thud, Zheng Xing's slightly open thin lips and wide eyes, as if he was still saying "He should have known a long time ago!"

On one side, Lu Yan closed his eyes heavily, and under the staring eyes of Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin, he slowly pushed away the sword blade on his neck, and said elegantly and in a low voice: "Let me do it myself." With that, he slowly paced to Zheng Xing's corpse, he bent down, and after slowly stroking Zheng Xing's dead eyes, Lu Yan stretched out his right hand to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin handed over the sword that had just killed Zheng Xing to Lu Gan.

Lu Gen put the bloody sword blade on his neck, he closed his eyes, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, tears, Lu Gen was hoarse, as if crying and laughing: "We should have known a long time ago, they only have a little power in their hands, and they will be more than enough to lose!" Speaking of this, the sword blade in Lu Gan's hand was strangled heavily, and with a stream of blood gushing out, his long jade body fell to the ground with a thud.
