The mountains on both sides of the official road have long been loosened because of the private bombing of the mountain and quarrying in recent years, and the heavy snow two days ago happened to trigger this avalanche, and the overwhelming snow mixed with loose rocks piled up on the road surface, and the original official road was filled with falling rocks, and it has become unrecognizable.

In the field of vision, it was still a dazzling white.

As the sun sank in the west, the glow on the horizon became ethereal on the snow.

The government has not yet sent people to come, and most of the people at the scene are ordinary people watching the excitement, and there are also family members of passers-by who have an accident crying on the side, shouting the names of their relatives at the same time, and for a while, there is a mess in all directions.

The wind blew, and the snow in the high places was blown up, and the snow was swept up all over the sky.

The mountains on both sides suddenly became a little fragmented, and the mountains and rivers were colorless.

"Young lady, don't worry, maybe the prince is still in Youzhou and hasn't encountered this avalanche." Taozhi carefully helped Shen Qingli get out of the carriage and comforted softly, "It's so cold outside, you better go back to the carriage and sit for a while!" ”

"That's right, young lady, the matter has come to this, why don't we go back home and wait for news!" Cuizhi couldn't help but shudder, and followed suit.

Shen Qingli didn't speak, walked quickly to the pile of gravel, looked at it carefully, and then struggled to climb onto a big stone on the side of the road, panicked so that Taozhi and Cuizhi hurriedly stepped forward to help, she looked at the endless official road in front of her, and seemed to see Mu Yunting, who was galloping on a horse, was instantly submerged by the sudden mountain rocks, tried to suppress the tears that were almost flowing, and hurriedly turned her head and instructed Taozhi: "Taozhi, you see if there are any people from the government here, if there is, quickly call one." ”

Taozhi turned his head and ran towards the crowd, and in a moment, two young men dressed as guards came to Shen Qingli in response, they were here to maintain order.

One of them recognized Shen Qingli, and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute, "My subordinates have seen Mrs. Shen." The other also stepped forward to give a salute.

"What about you?" Shen Qingli asked urgently, "Why didn't he come?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, my lord is at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to come over tomorrow." The guard replied with a frown.

"You quickly call him over and say I'm waiting for him here, hurry!" Shen Qingli was suddenly out of breath, such a big thing happened, and he still had the heart to rest at home.

The guard turned on his horse and galloped away.

In a few moments, a carriage came to a hurried halt in front of it.

An old man in an official uniform walked up to Shen Qingli tremblingly, stroked the clothes on his body, and saluted with a solemn face: "Jingzhou Governor Wang Ningxi has seen Mrs. Shen. ”

This prefect looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, with a round figure and narrowed eyes, looking like a wealthy businessman rather than an official, Shen Qingli couldn't help but continue to look at him, pointed to the wolf in front of him and said, "How does Lord Wang plan to deal with this matter?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Shen, the lower officials will immediately send someone to clean up here tomorrow, and I hope Mrs. can rest assured." Wang Ningxi hurriedly straightened his waist and replied, looked at Shen Qingli, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Shen, speaking of which, let's still kiss!" The eldest young lady of your mansion is the niece of Neizi, and my niece can have a concubine like Madame, it is her creation! ”

"Lord Wang, this avalanche happened suddenly, have you ever thought about how many people are pressed on this road? Are you waiting for tomorrow? Shen Qingli was in the mood to chat with his relatives, and commanded with a sinking face, "Listen, the top priority now is to save people, you quickly send people along the road to search for and rescue survivors overnight, it is best to mobilize the whole city to come and save people, the more people in this kind of thing, the better, be fast!" After thinking about it, he added, "You tell the villagers that anyone who comes to participate in the rescue will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and if the survivors can be rescued, they will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. ”

Wang Ningxi's expression suddenly turned grim, and he hurriedly took the order and left.

As soon as the news came out, the people of Jingzhou almost all went out in the city, carrying shovels and hoes to save people, Shen Ke also rushed to hear the news, and saw that Shen Qingli had a clear command of how to save people from the rubble and how to clean up the road, so he stepped forward and said: "Li Niang, this matter is a matter of the government, why do you bother to take care of these things, you have to spend your own money." ”

After settling the people who came to the rescue one by one, Shen Qingli responded in a dumb voice: "I don't care if this matter is a matter of the government, I just want to save my husband." ”

Shen Ke sighed lightly, becoming more and more unable to understand this sister, and hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, he will be fine." ”

"He's fine, I'll spend money to eliminate the disaster." Shen Qingli leaned on the cold carriage, looking at the long official road in front of her, the scenes of the two getting along kept appearing in front of her, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she finally admitted that she had him in her heart, Mu Yunting, I can't lose you......

At some point, a carriage had quietly stopped behind the brother and sister.

Then, a handkerchief was handed over.

"Mr. Szeto? What are you doing here? Shen Ke looked at the visitor with some surprise.

"Sir......" Shen Qingli hurriedly wiped his tears, and also said hello mechanically, unexpectedly, the two had not met in the capital, but they met here.

"I just went to the house, and I heard that you were here, so I came over to have a look." Situ Kong saw that Shen Qingli didn't take his handkerchief, so he just stuffed it into her hand, and then retreated to the side of the road.

The two lowered their voices.

"The last assassination failed, all because of your good brother-in-law, the helm is the same, and you have to get rid of him." Situ Kong looked at Shen Ke with deep meaning, then looked at the huge scene in front of him, and frowned, "If he can escape this catastrophe, he will definitely go to the mansion, so it's up to you." ”

"But he is my brother-in-law after all......" Shen Ke heard this, his face turned pale, and he turned his head to look at Shen Qingli, "If I personally killed him, I don't think my sister will forgive me in this life." ”

"Shen Lang, I originally thought that most of the sons and daughters of the dynasty were gentlemen, and although your brother-in-law had some military exploits, he was not enough to become a threat to us, but it was beyond my expectations, and right now, he is our biggest opponent." Situ Kong looked at Shen Ke expressionlessly, glanced at Shen Qingli out of the corner of his eye, and said hatefully, "If I had realized this earlier, I wouldn't have let Li Niang marry him, I would rather live with her like this than push her to other men, I was really dizzy." ”

Shen Ke sighed heavily, and said in a voice that couldn't be lower: "Sir, just look at the posture in front of you, my sister has already been moved by him, even if he is gone, she may not be able to go with you, this matter still needs to be considered." ”

"I've made up my mind." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Situ Kong's eyes, and he said word by word, "The hatred of losing the country, the hatred of taking his wife, I and him are already incompatible." ”

Shen Ke was silent for a long time, and sighed faintly: "Dare to ask Mr., which is more important, Li Niang or him?" ”

"Naturally, it's Li Niang." Situ Kong looked at that person out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt heartache, if something happened to him today, would she also be sad and cry here?

Half a year ago, he believed she would.

But now, he doesn't know, now that he thinks about it, he was really wrong, how could he be willing to let his beloved woman marry another man, let her worry about other men, and make her grief for other men......

"Naturally, it's Li Niang." Situ replied thoughtlessly.

How could he forget the years when the two of them lived together, in the depths of the pear blossoms, he taught her to paint, she was talented and intelligent, and he could not forget the picture of her dancing under the pear tree, so that countless midnight dreams, there was always her soft and moving dance in front of him, and he couldn't help but sink into that picture and couldn't extricate himself......

"Li Niang is my sister, I know her temper, if Mr. insists on killing her husband, I am afraid that Mr. will never get her heart again in this life." Shen Ke frowned and said, "Sir, think twice." ”

"Do you want me to watch her, live in harmony with him, and give him offspring?" Situ Kong looked at Shen Ke coldly, and said hatefully, "Are you greedy for the comfortable days now, and you are shaken by our restoration plan, I tell you, the people on our boat, no one wants to be alone, the consequences of betrayal will definitely be worse than death." ”

Shen Ke smiled bitterly: "Mr. is too worried, I am a child of a family in the previous dynasty, how can I not support the restoration plan, but this matter is handled by me, it is really inappropriate, I hope Mr. will forgive me." ”

"Are you sure you don't step on two boats?" Situ Kong asked expressionlessly.

"If the gentleman had doubted, he wouldn't have told me about it." Shen Ke said calmly, "If I had two hearts, I would have entered Beijing as an official a long time ago, is it still necessary to stay in a desolate place like Jingzhou?" ”

"Okay, I'll do this myself, you just need to cooperate with it." Situ Kong turned around and left, thought about it, and then turned back and said, "Don't think that I like Li Niang, so I can't bear to hurt her, if she spoils my business, I won't let her go." As he spoke, he strode away.

The moonlit treetops, the ground was white.

Shen Ke stood in place for a moment before he walked towards Shen Qingli in a complicated mood, and when he saw her looking at the crowd without blinking, he stepped forward and said softly: "Li Niang, go back!" I'm here to keep watch, and I'll let you know if there's news. ”

"No, I'm not going back, I'm going to wait for him here." Shen Qingli shook his head, smiled at him, and said, "Besides, even if he comes back, he will definitely have to arrange someone to clean up the road first, and he must also guard here to search and rescue the people who were pressed by the rocks, so it is most suitable for me to be here." ”

"Li Niang, do you think that their nobles in the capital are very disdainful of our previous dynasty, thinking that we are phoenixes who have shed their hair and are not as good as chickens?" Shen Ke asked suddenly. R1152
