Chapter 280: An Unexpected Shot

A sharp arrow came into the air, trembling its tail feathers and piercing the city gate tower, and the letter carried on the arrow was quickly delivered to Xiao Tan.

Yunzhou has been besieged for nearly half a month, and the reinforcements that are finally looking forward to opening suddenly tore apart the pseudo-Qi company camp outside the city and broke into the north city gate.

In the military report sent by Yu Jian, the code words used in the Xiao family are not bad, and the banner of the reinforcement army and the battle to kill the enemy army can also be seen clearly in the city tower. The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, and the soldiers and horses defending the city who have been holding back the fire in the city will naturally cooperate with the attack according to the prompts of the letter in a timely manner.

The troops who came to help shouted the latest news from the north in a thick Yandi accent and Hu in the fight against the enemy, saying that the Yanzhou Prefecture had been broken by the Xiao family's army, and the whole territory had been restored.

Such shocking news made it impossible for the pseudo-Qi generals who were originally fighting for time to attack Yunzhou to continue to conceal and suppress the ordinary soldiers under their command.

It will be pseudo-Qi, but most of the soldiers come from Yandi, and the "old master" who came to fight in Yunzhou was somewhat reluctant. As soon as he heard that his hometown had returned to the Chen Dynasty, the pseudo-Qi soldiers who knelt down on the battlefield for a while were like crops harvested in the autumn, forming stubble.

The crisis in Yunzhou was relieved without danger, but when welcoming the reinforcements into the city, Xiao Tan not only did not feel relaxed, but even more heartbroken.

On the same day, he received an arrow book outside the city, thinking that he was taking the sixth brother of Yunzhou soldiers and horses to the north to lead his troops or his cronies to come back to help, and the city gate was opened and cooperated well.

But as soon as the actual cooperation began, it was immediately discovered that something was wrong, the 6,000 soldiers and horses who came to help were just under the banner of Xiao Hong, and they didn't know each other from the generals to the soldiers, and there were still most of the Hu people in the army.

If it weren't for the younger sister-in-law Zhou who immediately emerged from the reinforcements, she said that the young man who led the army was named Du Huan, and he was her cousin. Xiao Tan and the guards in the city must really think whether this team of people is actually an unknown foreign enemy who came to deceive the city with fake reinforcements.

From the end of October to the middle of November, officials of all sizes in Yunzhou City were extremely busy with various matters such as the placement of Mo soldiers who came to help and the recruitment of pseudo-Qi soldiers.

Even with the endorsement of the sixth grandmother of the Xiao family. The Mo people are always outsiders, that is, they must treat each other warmly and be careful to take precautions, who let the strong soldiers in Yunzhou City and nearby garrisons be transferred to recruit Yan, there is not the slightest sign of return.

The common people of the city could not bear such many hearts. The fear of the sudden crisis suddenly relaxed, and the oppressive atmosphere in the market became warm and gossipy.

Xiao Liu's grandmother, who has been inconspicuous since marrying into the Xiao family, has been silent, but surprisingly attracted her mother's family to "save" Yunzhou at a critical juncture. For a while, the mysterious Zhou family became the hottest topic in the city.

The hotter Zhou Manyun returned to Yunzhou, the more uncomfortable her mother-in-law Mrs. Xu became. But fortunately, Mrs. is lenient, and she doesn't have to wait for her daughters-in-law to be quiet, which also gives Manyun time to accompany the person who is really lingering on the sickbed.

When the gate of Yunzhou City was opened, Xiao Wan rushed to the western suburbs to rummage through the ruins and ruins, and then recaptured the sisters who were unfortunately killed one by one...... Then, the right leg, which had only been lightly disabled many years ago, suddenly broke softly, and the whole person fell to the ground, unable to stand up and walk again.

Muscles and bones are fine. It's just that the heart disease is difficult to go, and it may be a serious illness that is the same in the past life and the present life.

Zhou Manyun, who was sitting on the edge of Xiao Wan's couch, sighed secretly, stretched out his hand and tightly squeezed the eldest sister's thin hand like a chicken claw.

Just now, Xiao Wan, who was comforted by her, actually took the initiative to mention that Mrs. Xu had drugged Man Yun and begged for her forgiveness.

"Sister! Yuche's poison, in fact, I can solve it...... If I hadn't been honest with you at the time, maybe you wouldn't be where you are today. ”。 Tears welled up in the corners of Man Yun's eyes, and his cheeks were flushed with shame.

"Don't do your business. I'm going to take my life! I thought you didn't know that your mother poisoned you to remind you. ”

Xiao Wan, who was sitting on the pillow, widened her eyes, Huo Di grabbed Man Yun's hands and said seriously: "It's not just poison that reminds you of it. If the mother-in-law deliberately wants to find a daughter-in-law, not to mention that she will leave according to the seventh, it is not too much to give death. If Xiaoliu comes back, you'd better let him take you. Leave the Xiao family together. ”

Leave? It would be nice if I could leave. Wealth and glory are always more important than death, but for Xiao Hong, let him cut off his relatives because of this, how long can he stay with him with peace of mind?

Man Yun sighed lightly and said, "Sister! Little Liu...... After all, he is his biological parents, and he is the most difficult. He had read to me that it was probably his mother who doted on his young son the most. I was confused for a while. ”

"He's stupid! Xiao Xiaoliu has been a fool since he was a child. There are three sisters and brothers, and my mother is only the eldest brother who hurts the most, no matter what, as long as Xiao Ze is good. Did Xiaoliu tell you that he was raised by his mother as a girl before he was five or six years old? ”

"I mentioned it once in Jiangnan many years ago." , Zhou Manyun hesitated.

"When I was young, I didn't think I had anything. But when I got older, especially when I had children and daughters, my thoughts were different.

I have a bad relationship with the Qin family, and the pair of children I brought back are also surnamed Qin, and they all look like Qin Yu, and sometimes I feel annoyed when I look at them, but after all, my own flesh and blood still can't bear them to be angry in the Qin family, and I don't dare to neglect my upbringing.

People in the world are the same, I see that those who love their daughters turn their daughters into boys, and how can they ever teach good men as girls. ”

"My husband said that it was because he was beautiful when he was young, and his mother-in-law felt that he was young so she played like that and let him pretend to be ......"

"Do you think my mother is a fun-loving person?" , Xiao Wan interrupted Man Yun's words in a loud voice, and sneered: "If it's just a joke, Daddy just needs to stop drinking, why bother taking the little brother out of the inner courtyard with the face of his wife, throwing him in front of Xiao Ze, and letting him take his younger brother to eat together." ”

"Sister mean that Madame did it on purpose? Back then, my father-in-law asked my eldest brother to take my husband, so that my eldest brother could protect him? ”

"How not?" , Xiao Wan's face crossed a trace of sadness, and she said sharply: "She gave birth to three, but there is only one eldest brother in her eyes." I'm a daughter, needless to say, and Xiao Liu, who is also a concubine, is estimated to be a secret enemy who will replace Xiao Ze like other cousins in her eyes, and she will not be able to live if she is not deliberately raised. ”

"Could it be because of Xiao Hong's birth? Like Uncle Zheng, he is not a mother? Man Yun somewhat believed what Xiao Wan said, and when he lowered his head, he remembered the allusions in the history books.

"I don't know. But back then, Hong Diming said that he would only marry you alone, if she really loves her little brother. How could he bear that he didn't have a son-in-law inheritance. gave medicine to his wife, and then stuffed the concubine's room, purely to make the little six family restless. For Xiao Ze, she has always beaten him to be good to his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law Qin, and to stay away from the concubine's room. ”

Xiao Wan's eyes flashed with indignation, and she counted Xiao Ze's backyard with her fingers. In addition to the first time to lead to personnel through the room. Xiao Ze's other concubines Teng have nothing to do with Mrs. Xu.

"If you have more children, it will inevitably be unfair. Sometimes it's really impossible to be a junior. Manyun's voice was dry.

At this time, she secretly compared Xiao Hong's backyard in her previous life, and the important driving force behind the huge backyard was Mrs. Xu, and she agreed with Xiao Wan's words in her heart. Mrs. Xu may really dislike in addition to her, as well as Xiao Hong.

"Manyun! Don't feel that it's just for my mother, you little couples can still be sincere. It's good for dad and eldest brother to love Xiaoliu, but, but people will change! ”

Thinking of the ruins devoured by Zhu Rong in the western suburbs and the charred corpses with unbearable cruelty, Xiao Wan raised her hand to cover her face. choked with tears, "They also loved me very much, and even did not hesitate to turn their faces with Emperor Xiaozong in order for me to avoid entering the palace." But now, when they want to get that position, even a small Qin family refuses to move lightly for me. Who is rare for their world, set up an archway to be a widowed eldest princess, it is better to live than to die......"

"Sister! Do you still have Jia'er and her brothers to take care of? ”

"Actually, if I die like this, maybe my father and mother will still think of me. It's more painful for them! ”

Therefore, in her previous life, Xiao Wan would have boiled herself to death less than a month after winning the title of Princess Gongyang?

Man Yun rested his hand on the eldest sister's shoulder. A long sigh of sadness.

People in the world have different ideas, and everyone values them differently, Xiao Wan is not a good mother who is dedicated to her children, and now she can't use her children as an excuse to persuade the heartbroken Xiao Wan.

Qi Yan who became a monk? Locked in the backyard, how can I know so many irrelevant people after the second half of my previous life......

A clenched fist knocked on the stuffy skull, and Zhou Manyun suddenly lifted Xiao Wan's shoulders. With a twinkle in his eyes, he raised his voice: "Sister! You might as well ...... It's better to become a monk and become a female crown! ”

"Monks?" , The brother-in-law's sudden suggestion stunned Xiao Wan.

"Actually, you didn't find Qi Yan's body, right, he also mentioned to you before that he would leave Yunzhou and enter the mountain to cultivate. Maybe you stayed in the city that day, and he had already left first because of a misunderstanding, and the pseudo-Qi soldiers came to burn the village and kill people. The possibility of knowing is also dead, and the clue is broken......"

"You said he might be alive!" , Xiao Wan's withered face immediately showed extremely excited vitality.

It's just a bluff, and Man Yun still redescribed the possibilities of Qi Yan's possible life very sincerely, and drilled out of her cuff the silver that swam towards Xiao Wan's ear, dragging out a silver thread.

A little red dot like a mosquito bite suddenly appeared, Man Yun smiled gratefully at Yinzi, and continued to continue to Xiao Wan, who had gradually lost his eyes: "If Qi Yan is still alive, but you die with self-abandonment, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" What's more, you don't want to die as the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, do you......"

The Xiao family, who was thinking about climbing on the chair, would not allow Xiao Wan to leave the higher they climbed because of the world's opinion, otherwise they would be drowned in the spittle of those so-called upright people.

And the Qin family refused to abandon Xiao Wan's excellent talisman and turned against the Xiao family. Even if Xiao Wan died in her previous life, Qin Yu, who was attached to Princess Gongyang, was still alive and well, although she did not have any achievements.

If your parents don't rely on it, you try to see if you can rely on yourself.

With the help of the elixir of phantom calming, Man Yun's persuasive voice was thin, "You can not only leave behind the glory, but also have a way to live." For the sake of national peace and security, or pray for the blessing of parents...... Find a grandiose excuse to ask yourself to become a monk, not to mention the world, but you can also secretly find Qi Yan. ”

"Go find him!" , Xiao Wan muttered and repeated, her eyes were misty, and her yellow cheeks were blushing, just like a girl who had just fallen in love. (To be continued......)
