An Zi often turned around and instructed his personal guards, "Hurry back to the garrison with the men and horses, and the matter here will end here." ”

He was originally suppressing bandits in a mountainous area about 500 miles away from Chang'an City, and when he was tracking down those bandits recently, he accidentally got a news that someone had colluded with the bandits to wash the grange on the outskirts of Chang'an.

An Zichang didn't take it seriously, but just sent scouts to follow the group of bandits.

As a result, in the evening of this day, the scout sent someone back to report that there were not only bandits, but also a group of other capable people, who seemed to be people from the rivers and lakes, colluding with the group of bandits, and to deal with several granges on the outskirts of Chang'an, including the Zhuangzi of Xiao Duwei's family.

Anzi often knew that Du Hengshuang was recuperating in the grange on the outskirts of Xiao's house, and when he led his troops out to suppress bandits a few months ago, he also went to Zhuangzi to see her, and he knew that she was recovering.

After receiving this news, An Zichang immediately felt that there was a problem. Even if it was a coincidence, he couldn't watch the Xiao family's Zhuangzi being ransacked by the homeless.

What's more, there are three women on the Zhuangzi, and if you get involved with the homeless people, the end will definitely be very miserable.

An Zichang secretly took 500 of his own guards, left the station of the bandits, and returned to the suburbs of Chang'an.

It was almost too late.

An Zichang's personal guard leader hurriedly answered "yes", and asked: "Do you want to call back the 300 people who went to chase the mule cart?" ”

An Zi often remembered the little mule cart that escaped from the path just now, he thought it was Du Hengshuang in it, but now it seems that they used a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain.

As long as Du Hengshuang is safe, Anzi often doesn't bother to care about others.

Wave your hand. An Zichang turned over and got on the horse, "No need to chase, let them come back......"

Zhu Susu said anxiously: "Why don't you use it?" Knowing that the painting is in it! ”

Anzi often knows that Du Hengshuang's personal maid is called Zhihua, she is a very pretty and clever maid, loyal to Du Hengshuang, and hurriedly changed her words: "Then continue to chase, remember to kill the pursuing homeless, and leave no one behind." Pick up the mule cart again. Saying that, he ordered Zhu Susu to lead the way, and he was going back to the main house with Du Hengshuang.

An Zichang's personal guard is a scout. Very vigilant. Just as he was about to say yes, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he smelled a scorching breath in his nose.

As soon as I looked up, I looked at the place where the smell had come from. In the night sky to the east. It's like a cluster of fireworks. Flaming flaming arrows fell from the sky and landed on the roofs, haystacks, and bushes of the village.

The entire Zhuangzi suddenly became a sea of fire.

Even their carriage and horse sheds here have sparks affected.

An Zichang darkened his face and cursed in a low voice. Looking up at Zhu Susu, he asked, "Who did you provoke?" - This is obviously to kill them all! ”

Zhu Susu hugged the unconscious Du Hengshuang, very aggrieved, and muttered: "Did your old man get angry by mistake?" Instead of scolding those who want to kill us, blame us for causing trouble?! I want to know who Lu Dao has offended......" After speaking, I was a little weak-hearted, Du Hengshuang, a woman in the house, didn't seem to offend anyone to this extent, but the people she offended seemed to be really a lot, but I don't know who in Lu Dao is so generous......

The war horses brought by Yasuko began to stir restlessly in the increasingly strong smell of burning.

The entire night sky was lit up by the fire.

There are also some villages around the grange.

Before the homeless people attacked the village, those people didn't know much about it.

But now the fire lit up half of the night sky, and the village was terrified by the barking of dogs and chickens.

Many villagers woke up from their sleep and began to beat gongs and drums to proclaim, "The water has gone!" Let's go and help put out the fire! ”

"Let's go! Can't stay here! Anzi often picked up the faint Du Hengshuang from the crook of Zhu Susu's arm, put it on his horse, and then turned over on the horse.

An Zichang's personal guard also brought a horse and asked Zhu Susu to get on the horse.

The group galloped like lightning, and under the cover of the fire, quietly left the Xiao family's grange and came to An Zichang's grange fifty miles away.

An Zichang also has a grange outside Chang'an City, and it is much more numerous and much larger than Xiao Shiji.

An Zichang's father was originally An Guohou of the Great Zhou, and he himself was the An Guogong of Daqi.

Moreover, his grange is heavily guarded, unlike Xiao Shihe's Zhuangzi outside Chang'an City, it is really a farm, except for the head of the farmer's farm, there are not even a few guards.

The twelve guards who came with Du Hengshuang and them this time were temporarily sent by Xiao Yi for the Xiao family's eldest and young grandmother.

Of course, this can't be said to be Xiao Shiji's fault.

Before he followed King Yijun on the expedition, he was just a small six-rank official, and he had always been operating in secret, and his reputation was not obvious outside. It can be said that he was a nobody before he became famous on the battlefield. The Xiao family has set up a small grange outside Chang'an City, which is also a matter of recent years.

Who would have a hard time with a businessman, or a six-grade petty official's grange?

Besides, the grange outside Chang'an City is like hemp, and they are all various powerful families in Chang'an City, as well as relatives outside the royal family as masters.

If you want to talk about safety, except for Chang'an City, it belongs to this piece of security.

No one expected that there would be such a big mess here.

And An Zichang's Grange needs to be heavily guarded because he has too many troubles of his own.

The emperor of the Great Zhou died at his hands, and the princess of the Great Zhou has not surrendered to the Great Qi so far, and is still operating in private, which not only shakes the foundation of the Great Qi, but also has been sending people to try to assassinate An Zichang.

Anzi has long been accustomed to the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and he sleeps in a different place every night.

He is a little better in Chang'an City, and it is safe to live in Jingzhao Yin Xu Shao's Mansion.

But as soon as he left the city, he was surrounded by heavy guards, and he never acted alone.

This time he brought Du Hengshuang and Zhu Susu to his grange, and he only quietly entered the courtyard from Houzhuang, without alarming the people in Qianzhuang.

Only the guards of the back village informed the guards of the front village, and they knew that someone had entered the village to live temporarily.

Anzi Chang's guards did not follow.

They quietly returned to the city without an edict this time, if they were caught. There will be trouble.

Those sergeants are all An Zichang's henchmen, and if An Zichang suffers a loss, they won't be able to please him. Moreover, military generals are not like civil officials, and people with two faces and three swords never end well, so no one thinks about selling the lord to seek glory.

Of course, the most important thing is that An Zichang is a person who does not eat oil and salt, and he is famous in the court. If you want to yin him, unless you kill him in one blow, he will repay you tenfold.

These "notoriety" are outside. He does something out of the ordinary. No one dared to delve into it.

Besides, Emperor Yongchang is very fond of him, who will take a straw stick to stab the tiger's nose and eyes?

At present, An Zi often arranges for Du Hengshuang and Zhu Susu to live in his grange, and the people in the front village don't care, and the people in the back village only say that they are relatives of the An family. I came from Anxi to join my family.

Anyway, An Zichang hasn't married yet. Everyone knows that the Anguo Mansion in the capital can't live in the road. It is normal for a relative who sent the autumn breeze to live in the grange.

Zhu Susu put Du Hengshuang in the bed in the back room and placed her to sleep.

Out to the outhouse. Zhu Susu saw An Zichang holding a horsewhip in his hand, and there was an indescribable gloom and murderous aura on his handsome and jade-like face.

"Thank you An Guogong for helping, this time it is really thanks to An Guogong, otherwise the two of us would really not be able to escape." Zhu Susu sincerely thanked An Zichang.

An Zichang stood up and said to Zhu Susu: "Just now my guards came back and told me that the little mule cart had been found. ”

Zhu Susu was overjoyed, "What about painting?" Where is she? ”

"Zhihua is not in it." An Zichang's voice was faint, but it was like a heavy hammer, knocking on Zhu Susu's heart.

"Not in there? So where did she go? Zhu Susu asked with a trembling voice.

An Zichang's eyes darkened, and his voice was deep, "I don't know what to say." My guards killed all the homeless people they could see, but they didn't find the body of Zhihua. ”

Zhu Susu's face was miserable. Will the experience of Zhihua be miserable? Although she never thought that the woman had been raped, she had to commit suicide to show her innocence. But in the hands of that herd of animals, it is better to know that the painting is really not as good as dead......

"Have all the homeless people who pursued Zhihua been killed?" Zhu Susu asked with a look of resentment, and his hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, letting the nail dig deep into his palm.

An Zichang didn't shake his head, nor did he nod, but said lightly: "Anyway, everything they can see has been killed, and as for whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net, I don't know." After speaking, An Zichang said impatiently: "Don't keep talking about painting." Eighty percent of her lives won't survive. When Hengshuang wakes up, you can just talk to her. There's one more thing, I'm going to leave when I'm done. ”

Zhu Susu was silent for a long time, and slandered An Zichang's coldness and dog-eyed low-sightedness in his heart, and then asked, "What's the matter?" Can't you send us back to Chang'an? ”

An Zichang looked around, walked to Zhu Susu's side, lowered his voice and said, "That's it." - You can't go back to Chang'an for the time being. ”

"For what?!" Zhu Susu's eyes widened, his face full of puzzlement, "The Xiao family's Zhuangzi has been burned, we have no place to live, if we don't go back to Chang'an, do we live here with you?" - You are willing, I am not willing, and Hengshuang will not be willing! If you let Brother Xiao come back to know about this matter, what will he think? Are you intentionally letting Brother Xiao misunderstand Hengshuang? After speaking, Zhu Susu narrowed his eyes again, and said with an unkind expression: "You won't covet Mrs. Xiao, right?" - You are a foreign man, you shouldn't call Hengshuang's name, you should call her Mrs. Xiao. ”

An Zichang smiled, touched his nose, and said slowly: "I don't care about Hengshuang." If Xiao Shiji is estranged from Hengshuang because of this incident, such a man doesn't want it. ”

Don't say anything else, just this sentence is very temperamental to Zhu Susu.

But the problem is that Zhu Susu is not a person in this world, and in the future after a thousand years, the status of women is not so low, and they will not be considered unchaste and unclean because they are called by other men.

She didn't take many of the rules here seriously, but An Zichang was different. - He is not from the Hereafter.

Zhu Susu rolled his eyes, "The matter between husband and wife, even if it is noisy, suspicious and jealous, it is also a kind of taste, I want you to judge whether others are worth it, don't you eat salty radishes and worry about it?" You don't have to break up other people's husbands and wives to be happy, right? ”

Although Anzi is not very familiar with Zhu Susu, he has also heard a lot about Zhu Susu.

Hearing this kind of words from her mouth, An Zichang was speechless for a while. After a while, the temper of the poisonous tongue attacked, and he said with a light smile: "I didn't know that a woman who was willing to be a concubine in order to cling to the powerful would say such things." ”

Zhu Susu was thick-skinned, automatically filtered out the unpleasant voice, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with being a concubine?" I didn't squeeze out my wife and wanted to take the position myself? - Don't be a concubine, then you men don't take concubines. Quickly let the emperor make an order, all men are not allowed to take concubines, and violators will be punished by the nine clans! Look if there are any women who are concubines! ”

Anzi was often stunned. It was the first time he had been blocked like this. And after the blockage. He really didn't have anything to say.

"What do you see? Again, I said the same. What is a woman a concubine for, not to have a bowl of rice to eat, a few good clothes to wear, and good jewelry to wear. Later, I gave birth to a child. Don't you have to work like yourself? - If it weren't for the sake of living better. Do you think a woman is really willing to be a concubine with a low reputation?! Zhu Susu was furious when he talked about this. She wants to be a concubine for the powerful, but it's not because with her identity, she can't be the main room!

If there is a rich and handsome man with high power who is willing to marry her. How brain-dead does she have to be to show that she is willing to be a concubine and not a wife?!

She is also forced by this evil society!

An Zichang was speechless, listened for a long time, tilted his head and said: "Hearing you say this, a woman being a concubine is like a beggar looking for a golden job." ”

"Of course. treats men as proprietors, and concubines are just buddies. It's not easy for everyone to live, come out to mix bowls of rice to eat, you don't need to despise it like this, right? ”

An Zichang shook his head, "I haven't heard such words. I only heard that women said that it was because they liked men that they were desperate to become concubines. - If you can't marry a wife, you can only be a concubine. doesn't care about the name, just because she likes him. ”

Zhu Susu almost wanted to cross his waist and laughed, and said happily: "An Guogong, to be honest, do you believe this?" Seeing that An Zichang had a strange expression and didn't speak, Zhu Susu chased after him again: "An Guogong, don't make up words and quibble." If you really believe this kind of nonsense, there are already many people around you. ”

An Zichang laughed instead, "In fact, why bother to investigate the truth and falsehood? - There are a lot of warblers and swallows around me, so you don't have to worry about me. Then he explained it slightly, "...... Speaking of which, Hengshuang and I are relatives, and we are not outsiders. And Xiao Duwei and I still have some friendship. It doesn't matter if you live here, I'll send him a letter. ”

There should be no misunderstanding that way.

Zhu Susu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "You said it earlier, it scared me to worry in vain." ”

An Zichang held the tip of the horsewhip and tapped it lightly on his forehead, and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you." I'll get down to business. - You can't go back to Chang'an for the time being. I just received news that the group of homeless people who attacked the village had something to do with a very powerful person in the palace. If she wants to deal with Hengshuang, you will be sent to death when you return to Chang'an. It's better to hide from me for a while and wait and see what happens. And Captain Xiao is out on the expedition, and I'm worried that Hengshuang will not be able to support it alone. It's better to wait for Captain Xiao to come back, and then you can go back to Chang'an. ”

Zhu Susu was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he said: "It turns out that it is related to Hengshuang." I thought I had offended someone......"

An Zichang sighed, pointed at Zhu Susu with a horsewhip and said, "You think it has nothing to do with you?" With you, that person wanted Hengshuang's life even more. Anyway, you're in a lot of trouble. Let's hide and see what they're going to do. ”

Zhu Susu frowned, walked around the room with his arms crossed, thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate." It is precisely because there are people who have to deal with Hengshuang that we can't hide. We should return to Chang'an openly and honestly to see if the sinister villain hiding in the shadows will play tricks again. ”

An Zichang couldn't wait to knock on Zhu Susu's elm head, and scolded in a low voice: "You also know that Lu Dao is in the dark, and you are in the light, why do you want to send it to be a target?" Do you know what it means to have an open gun that is easy to dodge, and a hidden arrow that is difficult to prevent? ”

"But hiding here, if that person knows, he will secretly kill us......" Zhu Susu stared at An Zichang suspiciously, "The people in the palace ...... Who is in the palace? ”

Anzi often saw Zhu Susu like this, and he didn't want to tell her the truth, so he said in a harsh voice: "The nobles in the palace, where can we figure it out?" After a pause, he said, "If you hide from me, others will not know the truth." You can rest assured of this. ”

"Reassured? Why do you reassure me? "Zhu Susu doesn't know much about An Zichang, except that he is the Duke of An Guo who was personally crowned by His Majesty, and now he is the same as Xiao Shiji, and is known as the "Imperial Shuangbi" God of War in the army. I don't know what else he can do, and I don't know his deeds very well.

An Zichang smiled and said, "When Hengshuang wakes up, you can ask her." I know why Lu Dao is hiding here with me, and the people outside will definitely not find it. After speaking, An Zichang looked at the white sky outside the window, and said, "I'm leaving." You can live in peace, the people here are my confidants, and I know that you are relatives from Anxi, and you will not be suspicious. In two days, I'll have people spread the word. Soon you will be burned to the ground. It's about to be passed to Chang'an. "Is this going to die?

Zhu Susu was skeptical of this method, but thinking that An Zi often said that she would send a letter to Xiao Shiji, she also felt that there should be no problem.

As long as Xiao Shiji is not suspicious of Du Hengshuang, no matter what rumors others spread. It shouldn't be able to shake the relationship between the two husband and wife.

And this thing. It's really a big trouble. It is related to the lives of the two of them, and they must not be reckless.

Think deeply, no matter what misunderstandings there are in the future. As long as people are alive, there will be a day when they will be explained.

If you only care about the branches and vines, pretend to be pretentious for the so-called "name and festival", and give up your little life, then even if Xiao Shihe misses Du Hengshuang for the rest of his life, what is the point?

Du Hengshuang has become a dead man, and Xiao Shihe will have a new wife. When the time comes, the newcomer Wen Xiang nephrite is in his arms, which man will remember the original wife lying alone in the loess ridge?

People are growing, and they can't fight for the breath of the moment.

So what they need most is to live, and they must survive.

Only by surviving can there be a day to avenge oneself and a day to expose the other party's conspiracy and tricks.

If you want to step on the bones of my Su Su and my best friend to enjoy your glory and wealth, no matter who it is, I will curse you to die without a place to bury!

After An Zichang left, Zhu Susu was in a mood for a while, so he stabbed the villain with paper, wrote the word "noble" on it, and took the upper of the shoe and slapped it more than a dozen times before he could slightly understand the hatred in his heart.

This night, Zhu Susu just slept on the kang under the window for one night.

In the second half of the night, a heavy thunderstorm that had been brewing for a long time finally poured down.

The fire on the Xiao family's village was quickly extinguished, but at the same time, the traces of last night's battle were washed clean.

There is not a single living mouth on the Zhuangzi.

The villagers outside did not dare to go in, but they were just pointing and looking at the gate that had been burned to the ground, poured by the heavy rain and emitted black smoke.

It took ten days for the officials in the city to arrive late to investigate the case of the destruction of the Xiao family grange. This is not to be mentioned later.

Zhu Susu woke up in An Zichang's grange the next day, and looked at Du Hengshuang on the bed opposite, as she expected, yesterday she fled and killed, and the night breeze blew, and Du Hengshuang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, had a high fever again.

Fortunately, when Zhu Susu fled for his life last night, he still carried the medicine box that he never left with him.

She checked Du Hengshuang's pulse and determined that she was not a recurrence of her old illness, but just a cold. But the wind and cold in June are not very easy to treat, especially Du Hengshuang's body is weak, if it is not good, it will hurt her vitality and make her from a healthy person to a person who lingers on the sickbed all the year round and has to rely on medicine jars.

Therefore, Zhu Susu's treatment of Du Hengshuang this time is different from the last time. The last time was to take a strong drug. This time, it is necessary to use warm medicine to nourish, slowly drive away the wind and cold, consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and will nourish the body.

Langzhong, who is good, can not only cure diseases, but also regulate the body. It is easy to heal diseases, but conditioning the body is not something that everyone can do. Most people think that conditioning the body is the best thing to do, but in fact, it is not. Just like cooking, the most skill-testing dish is not the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but ordinary home-cooked vegetables, such as stir-fried cabbage. In this way, you can really see the skills of a chef.

In the same way, for Lang Zhong, the most important thing is not to treat incurable diseases, but to regulate a weak person to be healthy and normal.

Du Hengshuang fell asleep for a few days before slowly waking up.

Zhu Susu slowly told her that she knew how to paint.

"The girl is missing. I think she is a good person and has a good reward, and she will definitely be fine. Zhu Susu couldn't bear to say that Zhihua must have encountered an accident, so he still used a tactful method to persuade Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang listened silently, his eyes a little hollow.

"An Guogong said, let's stay here with peace of mind, and he will send a letter to Brother Xiao and tell him not to worry."

When Du Hengshuang heard this, he was a little moved, and his ice-like face became a little popular.

"Really? Will he write letters to his uncle? Du Hengshuang asked. Because Xiao Shi and King Heyi fought hard with Liu Zhou in the north, and heard that the Turks also went south in a big way this year, Du Hengshuang was very worried.

Zhu Susu nodded, "He said he would." ”

Du Hengshuang was silent again, and after a long time, he asked, "Susu, when will we go back to Chang'an?" ”

Zhu Susu's heart sank. Unexpectedly, as soon as Du Hengshuang woke up, he asked about it.

“…… Shuang'er, let's take a long-term view of this matter. An Guogong said that the matter was a bit tricky. We can't go back to Chang'an for the time being. And ......" Zhu Susu paused, seeing that Du Hengshuang's eyes were full of doubts, he couldn't help but say angrily: "An Guogong said that someone wants our lives." Let's go back now, without Brother Xiao by his side, he is worried that something else will happen, and when the time comes, there will be a bigger mess, and it will be irreparable. I also think it makes sense. ”

Du Hengshuang sighed, rubbed the corners of his forehead with his hands, thought for a long time, but still shook his head and said, "It's not proper, what's the matter with us living here?" Let's go back. If you are worried that the Xiao family will not be able to protect us, we can go back to the Xu family. ”

Xu Shao is Jing Zhaoyin, and he is deeply respected by His Majesty, so he won't be able to protect them, right?

Zhu Susu smiled bitterly, "Doesn't Duke An Guo know the identity of Lord Lu Daoxu?" But he said that Lord Xu may not have any choice but to get that person. ”

Du Hengshuang sank his face and said calmly: "Who is it?" Why can't you get along with us? ”

"It's not that you can't get along with us, but you want our lives. Frost, you can't go down with a woman's kindness. "Zhu Su is the right way, and he dispelled all Du Hengshuang's illusions with one hammer.

Du Hengshuang pursed her lips, her face gradually became paler, and even her lips disappeared bloody.

"There are always such people in this world, and if you get in their way, they must get rid of you as soon as possible. In short, until now, it is a life-and-death relationship. If you are benevolent and righteous, you have to feed the tiger with your body, and you can go back to Chang'an alone, but I want the cat to hide here for a while to avoid the limelight. Zhu Susu said unceremoniously, "Also, after you go back, you will definitely be killed soon." When the time comes, when I sacrifice Zhihua, I will tell her that the master who sacrificed his life to save him has been so stupid as to kill himself. - You died unjustly......"

said that Du Hengshuang finally couldn't keep his calm mood, and covered his face and cried.

Speaking of which, Du Hengshuang is only eighteen years old, unlike herself who has lived two lives, and she is already about the same age as Long Xiangye and Fang Yuniang, so she is naturally much more mature than Du Hengshuang, an authentic little girl.

I have experienced so many things, but Du Hengshuang has always been a flower growing in the greenhouse. Even when her father Du Xiancheng passed away, she didn't suffer much impact, and she grew up peacefully under the support of Fang Yuniang.

After getting married, Xiao Shihe's feelings for Du Hengshuang needless to say, except for her mother-in-law Long Xiangye who occasionally made her uncomfortable, there was really nothing uncomfortable.

Zhu Susu felt that he understood Du Hengshuang's mood very well.

But she couldn't let Du Hengshuang go on like this.

Every little one grows up.

Every girl will become a woman. She is already a mother and a wife, and she has to shoulder her responsibilities.

"Have you ever thought about your two children? I see you've been sick for two years, are you really sick and confused? Zhu Susu unceremoniously knocked Du Hengshuang.
