Although it was indeed a bit dangerous to rashly contact Cai Yu's caravan, Zhao Yu also learned some of the latest news.

For example, he reaffirmed that the Liangcheng army's actions that night were to completely wipe out his Luyang Zhao clan, because after these people destroyed his Xianghou Mansion that night, the next day it was convenient for the whole county to search for all people related to Luyang Xianghou, even Zhengxiang and other places were not spared.

What made Zhao Yu feel complicated was that according to Cai Yu and others chatting in private, he Luyang Township Marquis Mansion, who was detained for colluding with the rebels and attempting to rebel for a felony, did not escape during the escape that night......

His brother Zhao Yin, dead?

Mr. Ram, dead?

Chu Xiao, the guard who protected his brother Zhao Yin, and Zhu, the maid who his mother entrusted to take care of Zhao Yin, are all dead?

And the most outrageous thing is that even he, Zhao Yu, was 'killed'.

"It's a pity, according to my master, how smart the second son is, the reason why my Luyang Freemasonry Association was founded and why it was able to trade with Wancheng Military Market is because of the second son's ......."

"Respect the second son."

In front of the bonfire, many people poured the wine on the ground with a sigh on their faces to pay tribute to the second son who suffered from the disaster of the family, and Zhao Yu didn't know what kind of expression to make.

He's still alive, but why is he dead?

As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly thought of a possibility: it was very likely that Cao An died for him.

『Cao An ......』

Zhao Yu felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Cao An's kid is not very good-looking, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and he doesn't have any opinions, but it is undeniable that he is loyal to the Xianghou Mansion, just like his uncle Cao Ju.

Suddenly, Jingnu reached out and grabbed Zhao Yu's hand.

Zhao Yu turned his head over, only to find that Jing Nu's face was pale.

He suddenly realized: Ah, Jingnu's brother is also dead.

Jing Nu's younger brother is called 'Li', is the name given by the Wei Chang Zhang Chun, he is two years younger than Jing Nu, when they were sold to the Xianghou Mansion by their second uncle and second aunt, Jing Nu was favored by the Zhou family, and 'Li' followed the Wei Chang Zhang Chun and was trained as a guard.

According to what Jing Nu once said to Zhao Yu, his younger brother 'Li' was very longing for Zhang Chun, and seemed to intend to follow Zhang Chun's surname Zhang, and that night, Jing Nu's younger brother fled with Zhao Yin, Mr. Ram, Chu Xiao and others, because of the relationship between the chasing soldiers, he was separated from Zhao Yu, Jing Nu, Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Cao An and others halfway, and Zhao Yu didn't know what the situation was on his brother's side at that time, and now it seems that his brother Zhao Yin's side did not escape from Ascension.

And Jingnu's younger brother ...... There is a high probability that he is also dead.

Of course, considering that he, Zhao Yu, was also 'killed', the news that Cai Yu and others said may not be reliable, what if his brother Zhao Yin and others survived? Although this possibility is indeed very ethereal in Zhao Yu's opinion.

Zhao Yu reached out and held Jing Nu's hand, pinched it lightly a few times, and felt Zhao Yu's care, Jing Nu raised her head, forcibly endured the grief in her heart, and couldn't wait to throw herself into Zhao Yu's arms and cry loudly, but because Cai Yu and others were around, she held back stubbornly, lowered her head and silently nibbled on the cake.

It has to be said that only when people reach a desperate situation can they sharpen their will more and more.

In the face of the bad news inadvertently revealed by Cai Yu and others, Zhao Yu and Jingnu were not defeated, especially Zhao Yu, but he became more and more firm in his beliefs.

In the early morning of the next day, Cai Yu and others continued to Yexian.

And Zhao Yu and Jingnu were also preparing to go to Ye County on this trip, but even if they were on the same road, Zhao Yu still decided to separate from Cai Yu and others, pretending that his brothers were going to try their luck at the work site in Luyang.

Cai Yu and the others had no doubt, and after accepting the thanks of Zhao Yu and Jingnu, they drove the carriage and left slowly.

Looking at the 'Lu Ye Gongji' banner waving in the wind, Zhao Yu still felt a little difficult to let go of in his heart.

Lu Ye Freemasonry, he originally founded this chamber of commerce, in order to expand his Luyang Zhao clan's momentum, but I didn't expect that God would make people, Lu Ye Freemasonry was built, but his Luyang Zhao clan fell overnight, think about it carefully, it's really not as good as heaven.

"Now that I'm 'dead', I'm afraid that Wei Pu, Lu Kuang and the others are not fighting for power in preparation, right?"

Zhao Yu let out a long breath.

In order to better control the Luye Freemasonry, he deliberately allowed Wei Pu and Lu Kuang to compete with each other, turning a blind eye to all kinds of discord between them, who would have thought that it would become like this?

However, Zhao Yu can't take care of these at present, and he urgently goes to Ye County to join Mao Gong.

However, he is still very clear about one thing: the Luyang Freemasonry was founded by him Zhao Yu, and he will come back after all!

"Let's go, let's go to Ye County too."

"Hmm."

With Jingnu, Zhao Yu also embarked on a journey to Ye County.

The current location of the two of them is actually in the county of Yexian County, but there is still a distance from the county seat.

On the way to the county seat of Yexian, Zhao Yu and Jingnu were transported to the caravans heading to Wancheng several times, and almost all of these caravans were hung with the banner of 'Lu Ye Gongji'.

Zhao Yu was silent, took Jingnu's hand and walked with her head down, letting those caravans pass by them.

When approaching the county seat of Ye County, Zhao Yu told Jing Nu to be vigilant, and the two cautiously approached the county seat.

I have to say that Zhao Yu's vigilance was by no means unnecessary, because at the gate of Ye County, they did see the soldiers of the Liang Cheng army, and those soldiers searched those who tried to enter the city one by one.

"Still?"

Zhao Yu hurriedly pulled Jingnu away quietly, standing in the distance and frowning.

There were soldiers of the Liangcheng Army stationed in Ye County, and Zhao Yu knew it for a long time, and he wondered why these soldiers hadn't left yet? You must know from the chatter of Cai Yu and others that the four members of his Luyang Zhao family have all been confirmed dead, in this case, what are these Liangcheng soldiers still searching?

Don't......

"Someone must be alive!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

But who will it be?

Zhang Ji? Zheng Luo?

Still is...... Someone from his brother's side?

Zhao Yu couldn't confirm it at the moment, but the scene in front of him made him realize that this trip to Ye County was probably going to come to an end.

After all, there are not many people who have seen him so far, and it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers of the Liangcheng army will have his portrait in their hands, in case these soldiers see through their disguises, then, not to mention Cao An's sacrifice is not only in vain, but he and Jingnu obviously cannot escape the pursuit of those soldiers.

"Young master, what should I do?" Jingnu asked in a panicked whisper.

Zhao Yu glanced up at the sky and quickly made a decision: "Let's go to Yingshan Mountain in the north tonight." ”

At this time, it was past noon, and since there was no way to enter the county, there was only a place to settle down in advance, after all, I couldn't expect to meet a kind person like Cai Yu I met last night every time.

As for what to do next, Zhao Yu thought about it for a long time, and decided to come to Ye County tomorrow to see the situation, and see if he could sneak into Ye County and find that Mao Gong.

is different from Liu Wei, Zhao Yu has greater expectations for Mao Jue Mao.

The reason is that Mao Gong and his father Luyang Township Marquis have known each other for more than ten years, not to mention that Mao Gong watched him Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu grow up, this Mao Gong can almost be said to have watched his father Luyang Township Marquis grow up, and moreover, Mao Gong has a hard background, and it is said that he has a close relationship with an important minister in the royal capital.

Zhao Yu thought about it carefully and felt that instead of going elsewhere, it was better to find a way to find Mao Gong.

It's a pity that he doesn't know the situation in the Ye County Ya at this moment.

At the same time, in the county office of Ye County, Mao Jue and Mao Lao County Lingzheng looked at an official document in his hand angrily, and his eyes were split.

"Fart!"

He scolded loudly and smashed the official document in his hand at the person in front of him, a general of the Liang Cheng Army.

I saw that the bamboo document slammed the face of the general of the Liang Cheng Army with a snap, and the latter also showed a little anger because of this, and said with a glare: "Mao County Order, what do you mean by this?" ”

Unexpectedly, Mao Gong was not afraid, his eyes were bigger than the general, and he scolded angrily: "The Marquis of Luyang colluded with the rebels? Bullshit! …… Other old men don't dare to guarantee that Zhao Gongyu, the old man met him when he was eleven or twelve years old, watching him grow up, watching him get married and have children, I don't dare to say whether he is influenced by the old man, but if he really commits any crime, the old man will not spare him first. This sentence was mentioned by the old man when he was a teenager! And he has never disappointed the old man, he has helped the township all these years, and he can be called the sage of Luyang, and now, don't you wait to kill his family, but also frame him for colluding with the rebels? How can the old man make you wait for your wish! …… ! This kind of absurd public order, the old man will not accept it! ”

The general of the Liang Cheng army had a deeper anger on his face when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Mao County Order, this is my Liang Cheng ......"

Mao Gong glared at the general and scolded: "Then Gu Yuanchang is dizzy!" In order to please some people, he doesn't even want backbone and cheek! ”

The general of the Liangcheng army was dissatisfied: "Mao Gong don't want to humiliate Gu Junshou, if Lord Gu learns about it......"

"What about that?" Mao Gong glared and scolded: "You called that Gu Miao to the old man!" Does he dare to come?! If he Gu Miao is here at the moment, the old man spits on him, what do you think he dares to do? ! ”

The general of the Liangcheng army showed a little unswerving on his face, and even subconsciously reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, but for some reason, he finally let go, and his tone slowed down a lot: "Mao Gong, we are just acting on orders, if you have any personal dissatisfaction, please go to Liangcheng to discuss with Lord Gu, but today's official document, you must have to accept it, you also know the reason, my Liangcheng is the 'southern capital', and I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to control the counties of Henan, as long as you are still the head of a county, you must not disobey the order." Otherwise, it will be disobedient and disrespectful, and the general will only offend ......"

"You offend it?" Mao Gong opened his eyes and scolded: "The old man has been a county official for more than 20 years, and he has never dared to bully others, but today the old man will put his words here, you try it!" ”

“……”

The general opened his mouth, as if he really had any concerns, and was silent for a long time, he clenched his fists and said: "Mao Gong, you are only acting under orders, why should you be embarrassed by your subordinates?" …… In this way, I will give Mao Gong half a day to think about it, and before dusk today, if Mao Gong is still indifferent, he can only be ordered to take over the county government and announce the news. ”

With that, he turned around and walked away quickly, ignoring Mao Gong's pursuit to the door of the study and throwing the official document outside.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! ”

Looking at the back of the departing general, Mao Gong was full of anger, beat his chest, and trembled with anger: "The court is defeated, the traitorous ministers are in power, and in broad daylight, they slaughter people's families and slander their reputations, Gongyu ......"

Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed, he reached out and grabbed his chest, his face was full of pain, he leaned against the door of the study and slowly fell, and the old servant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Mao Gong, Mao Gong! …… Someone, Mao Gong fainted! ”
