"PS: I'm sorry for last night's second update, because this chapter I think should be connected. Speaking of this chapter, I wrote 9,000 words for nine hours, revising and revising again and again, and I was really exhausted, so I went to rest...... Anyway, the first volume of 'Tiger Cubs' is over."

———— the following text————

After dinner that night, the Luyang townsman came to the main house in the front yard and rummaged through the ancestral genealogy in the side house where the spiritual seats of the ancestors of the past generations were located.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Yu also followed to see it.

Through this genealogy, he knew for sure that although his Luyang Zhao clan claimed to have a single lineage, only two brothers appeared in Zhao Yu's generation, but this was actually incorrect, because in Zhao Yu's grandfather's generation, he Zhao had three males.

What's even more incredible is that Zhao Yu's grandfather, Zhao Xiang, is actually the youngest of the three brothers.

For the other two, the Luyang townsfolk added notes above their names, one wrote 'Linzhang' and the other wrote 'Xiapi'.

And below these two people, there can be children and grandchildren, and it seems that the people are prosperous and prosperous than their own families.

It's a pity that when Zhao Yu wanted to take a closer look at the names of those people, that part of the genealogy was taken by his father, the Marquis of Luyang.

Seeing his father's unswerving expression, Zhao Yu didn't say anything very interestingly.

But in his heart, he was still surprised.

It turned out that his Luyang Zhao clan had two side branches in the past three generations alone, one was the Linzhang Zhao clan and the other was the Xiapi Zhao clan, all of which were separated from his Luyang Zhao clan.

However, what surprised him the most was that his grandfather Zhao Shen replaced the two brothers with the youngest in the family and inherited the title of Marquis of Luyang.

Zhao Yu guessed that maybe in his grandfather's generation, the three brothers had a huge conflict in order to inherit the family business, and finally his grandfather's father, that is, his great-grandfather, passed the name of the Marquis of Luyang to his grandfather, so the other two brothers left home angrily, and so far they parted ways, and they all corresponded.

Zhao Yu felt that this guess was still relatively reliable, but how specifically, although he knew that his father must know something, but looking at his father's unswerving face, he was not easy to ask.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to ask, after all, it was at least forty or fifty years ago, and it was enough to know that the three branches of the Zhao clan had a bad relationship with each other.

Leaving behind the confusion in his heart, Zhao Yu continued to rummage through the family tree.

After careful searching, the father and son were convinced that there was no one named 'Zhao Yu' on the family tree, and they thought that it should be other people with the surname Zhao.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu asked curiously: "Dad, did the person named Tong Yan reveal the situation of that Zhao Yu?" For example, how old is the person, whether it is male or female, and most importantly, is there a portrait? ”

The Marquis of Luyang shook his head and said, "This is the most troublesome, that Zhao Yu, there is no portrait." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it a big crime of rebellion?" There is no portrait? How so? ”

"I don't know." The Luyang townsman shook his head.

"That'...... How old? Zhao Yu asked again.

"I don't know." The Luyang townsman shook his head again.

Zhao Yu didn't know what to say.

A person who has committed a major crime of rebellion and rebellion, except for knowing one name, the rest of his appearance and life experience, the court actually knows nothing?

He frowned and asked, "Dad, this fairy proverb...... Is he really a member of the court? ”

Hearing this, the Luyang Township Marquis still shook his head: "I don't dare to guarantee it, but he did take out the seal of the Liangcheng Commander......"

"Liang Cheng?"

"In ancient times, the capital of the Wei Kingdom, the Liang City called Daliang at that time, was not Liang County north of our Luyang."

"Oh." Zhao Yu nodded suddenly in understanding, and then asked again: "This proverb ...... I feel suspicious, will he still come to our house? ”

The Marquis of Luyang nodded and said: "When he said goodbye today, he said that he would go to the county seat of Luyang first, ask Liu Gong about the situation, and come to visit our family after a while, and let me wait for him at home, and he must not spread the matter, nor report to anyone, otherwise he will be punished for the crime ......of harboring."

Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this: "Listening to this, he suspects our family?" ”

Luyang Xianghou smiled bitterly and sighed: "After all, Zhao Yu's surname is Zhao ......."

"There are so many people with the surname Zhao in the world......"

Zhao Yu muttered unhappily, but the matter has come to this, even if his father and son complain in their hearts, what can they change?

As it turned out, it seemed that the boy proverb was really a court official.

A few days later, an army reportedly from Liangcheng came to Yexian and Luyang, took over the city defenses of the two counties, and searched everyone who entered and left the city.

For a time, the hearts of the people in Luyang and Yexian fluctuated, and rumors spread everywhere, but fortunately, the two county commanders Liu Wei and Mao Jue immediately came forward to refute the rumors, saying that the army sent by the imperial court was only searching for a criminal, which calmed the commotion.

But although the identity of the Tong Yan was confirmed, there was one thing that Zhao Yu could never understand: The Tong Yan didn't even have a portrait of Zhao Yu, how to arrest the latter?

What's even more strange is that how can Tong Yan be sure that Zhao Yu is hiding in Luyang and Yexian?

One night in late October, Zhao Yu lay on the bed and thought about it, but unfortunately until late at night, until he was sleepy, he didn't come up with a reason.

I don't know how long it took to be more, but in a daze, Zhao Yu felt that someone was pushing him: "Young master, young master." ”

"Oh, it's the Silent Girl......

Listening to the familiar voice, Zhao Yu didn't care, and opened one eye sleepily, but saw that Jingnu was only wearing thin obscene clothes, and kept pushing him with her hands with her face full of panic, and there was even a little crying in her eager voice: "Young master, young master, wake up quickly......"

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Yu asked a little impatiently, but immediately, his complexion changed, and he sat up on the bed with a little shock.

Because he heard all kinds of noisy sounds all around, some people screamed, wailed, screamed, and even faintly heard the sound of Jin Ge caused by the violent impact of swords.

He suddenly lost his sleepiness, and asked Jingnu in disbelief: "What's the matter?" ”

Before Jing Nu could speak, she saw Zhang Ji rushing in from the open door and asked eagerly, "Jing Nu, is the second son awake?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Zhao Yu sitting up on the bed, and he didn't care that Jingnu hadn't dressed yet, so he stepped forward and said eagerly: "Second son, please put on your clothes immediately, Ma Cheng and I will protect you to go to the inner courtyard......"

Zhao Yu nodded, and then asked with a slight frown: "Zhang Ji, what's going on outside?" ”

I saw Zhang Ji take a deep breath to calm down his mind, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what's going on, I just slept well, and suddenly Uncle Ying sent someone to call us, saying that a group of soldiers tried to forcibly rush into the mansion......"

"Soldiers?"

Zhao Yu suddenly frowned.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Are those soldiers from Liangcheng?" ”

"It should be!" Zhang Ji nodded, and said with a calm face: "This group of soldiers suddenly rushed into the mansion and arrested people everywhere to kill people......

"Murder?" Zhao Yu interrupted Zhang Ji's words with a shocked expression: "Why? ”

Zhang Ji said with a calm face: "Some guards from the palace stepped forward to question, and only then did I learn the reason, those soldiers said that we were harboring the felons who rebelled......"

"What?"

Zhao Yu couldn't believe it.

However, just as he was about to ask in detail, he saw Zhang Ji raise his hand and interrupted: "Second son, now is not the time to explain, please put on your clothes immediately." …… Ma Cheng and I are waiting outside the house, please be sure to hurry up! ”

After that, he saw that Zhao Yu had no objection, so he turned around and quickly walked outside the house.

"Harboring a recidivist? That Zhao Yu? What a joke!'

Looking at the back of Zhang Ji leaving, a layer of cold sweat unconsciously oozed from Zhao Yu's head.

"Young master."

Jingnu had already brought clothes for Zhao Yu and urged Zhao Yu eagerly.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Zhao Yu didn't dare to delay at the moment, quickly put on clothes with Jingnu, and went outside the house to meet Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng and Cao An.

At this time, Zhao Yu looked at the entire west courtyard, only to see that the townhouses opposite the pool were brightly lit, and in each house, the domestic servants and maids in the house were packing up their things, and then fled to the middle courtyard in groups with their bags.

"Second son?"

"Hmm. …… Walk. ”

didn't care about what to say, Zhao Yu took Jingnu and Cao An, and immediately fled to the courtyard with Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng. When passing by the eldest brother Zhao Yin's house, Zhao Yu seemed to think of something and asked, "Zhang Ji, where is my brother and Mr. Ram?" ”

Zhang Ji said without looking back: "The eldest prince and Mr. Ram have already gone to the backyard first. …… The eldest prince originally wanted to wait for the second prince to go together, but I asked them to go first. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded and rushed through the round gate with the group.

I have to say that although the scene was chaotic, the people in the house also kept order, and when they saw Zhao Yu and his party, they gave way one after another.

Of course, there were also people who asked Zhao Yu about the reason for the attack on the Xianghou Mansion.

Even Zhao Yu himself didn't know about this, how could he explain it to these panicked servants?

Passing through the courtyard gate, Zhao Yu paused slightly to look in the direction of the mansion gate.

At this time, in the direction of the palace gate, there are many dots of fireflies flying......

No, it wasn't a firefly, but a torch, whether it was the guards of the Xianghou Mansion or the Liangcheng soldiers who had entered the mansion, the two groups of people were holding torches in one hand and swords in the other, and they were fighting to the death in a roar of exhaustion.

Vaguely, Zhang Ying's angry roar could still be heard: "Stop!" Obstruct! …… Raised by a son of a bitch, Lao Tzu fought with you! ”

"Uncle Ying!"

After a burst of exclamations, I didn't know what was happening in the distance, only that the guards in the distance became more and more angry.

"Kill all these bitches!"

"Avenge Uncle Ying!"

『Zhang Ying......』

Zhao Yu subconsciously clenched his fists.

Of course he knew Zhang Ying, that was the brother of the guard chief Zhang Chun, the first batch of people who retired from the Wancheng Army and came to his hometown to be a guard, because of his old qualifications, this uncle who likes to be lazy was arranged to be on duty at the gate of the mansion, and he did not send any junior among the guards on weekdays.

"Zhang Ji ......"

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Ji.

"Let's go, second son."

Zhang Ji took a deep look at the fight between the two groups of people in the distance, and took a long breath, looking quite calm, but it was not difficult to guess from the green tendons in his left hand that he was holding the scabbard of the sword, in fact, his mood at the moment was far from being as calm as it seemed.

And at this moment, there was a faint swishing sound outside the house, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng heard the voice, their faces changed greatly, and they immediately used their bodies to protect Zhao Yu and Jingnu.

In the blink of an eye, countless arrows rained down from the sky.

A miserable howl immediately sounded around Zhao Yu and the others.

"Poof."

A domestic servant in the house was hit by an arrow in the neck and fell headlong in front of the quiet girl.

With the help of the light of some torches around her, Jingnu looked at it blankly, suddenly screamed "ah", and subconsciously buried her head in her arms.

"Aunt Zheng......"

Gently patting Jingnu's back and silently comforting her, Zhao Yu looked at the corpse on the ground and his pupils shrank slightly.

He knew that in the past, the clothes he had changed and washed would be handed over by Jingnu to these aunts in the front yard for cleaning.

He looked around, only to see that after Fang Cai's wave of arrows, the people who were still surrounding him fled in horror, looking for a place to hide, but many people also fell on the cold ground, covering the wounds of the arrows and wailing.

And among them, several people were silent, full of horror, their eyes open, unable to stare.

Archery?

Most of the people in the mansion were unarmed, no different from civilians, and the army from Liang County used bows and crossbows to slaughter?

Hugging the frightened Jingnu, Zhao Yu was shocked and angry.

At this time, Zhang Ji's voice caught his attention: "Ma Cheng, you ...... Are you okay? ”

"No, it's fine." Ma Cheng's voice mixed with cold air reached Zhao Yu's ears, Zhao Yu turned to look, but saw that Ma Cheng's expression was a little unnatural, and he didn't seem to want Zhao Yu to look at his back.

However, Cao An exclaimed from the side: "Ma Cheng, you have been hit by an arrow in the back!" ”

"Do you want to talk more?"

Ma Cheng glared at Cao An fiercely, and when the latter held his mouth and felt that it was boring, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, and seeing Zhao Yu's worried look on his face, he said with a smile: "It's not in the way, second son, it's just a flesh wound." …… This place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave quickly. ”

Seeing that Ma Cheng was still full of breath when he spoke, Zhao Yu relaxed a little, but he couldn't help but look at the courtyard again.

"Let's go, second son."

Zhang Ji quietly blocked Zhao Yu's line of sight.

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and didn't say anything superfluous, and there was no need to say anything more.

Mixed in a group of domestic servants in the house, Zhao Yu and his party quickly fled to the inner courtyard, only to see that in the courtyard of the inner courtyard, there were about thirty or forty people standing, most of these people are women and children, some are the families of the guards in the house, they gather together in fear, and there are also young maids in the house, hugging each other, some crying, some comforting.

And Zhao Yu's mother, Zhou, is taking Zhao Yu's brother Zhao Yin to appease those who are uneasy at the moment.

From the side, the faithful maid Bamboo followed closely.

"Mother." Zhao Yu shouted from afar.

Zhou turned his head, walked over quickly, and hugged Zhao Yu in his arms, she touched her son's body while asking with concern: "Yu'er, are you okay?" ”

"The child is fine." Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "It's Ma Cheng, he was injured in order to protect the child and Jingnu......"

Zhou turned his head to look at Ma Cheng gratefully, Ma Cheng was flattered, and waved his hand again and again: "It's not in the way, madam......"

It may be that this action touched the wound, and the painful Ma Cheng even crooked his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji said to him: "I'll take the arrow for you, right?" ”

Ma Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Please." ”

However, as soon as the words fell, I saw the Luyang townsman retreat to the inner courtyard under the protection of a group of guards.

Seeing this, the ladies in the courtyard surrounded each other.

"Townsman, what the hell is going on?"

"Townsman, what is the origin of those villains? Why did they break into the house and kill people? ”

"Townsman ......"

This gossip asked, and the Marquis of Luyang was speechless.

At this time, a guard named Chu Xiao shouted violently: "What is the noise?!" Be quiet! [PS: Book friends DJ don't have time to make a cameo.] 】

With Chu Xiao to stop the chaos, the Luyang townsman was able to walk from the crowd to his wife and two sons.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and Zhou asked in the calmest tone possible, "The situation ...... Isn't it bad? ”

The Luyang townsman nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why are there so many people, why don't you let them run for their lives?" ”

As he spoke, he summoned Cao Ju and asked why.

Cao Ju explained with a calm face: "The side and back doors of the mansion are guarded by many soldiers outside, and it is easy to break through, so I tried to send a few guards to help them escape, but they were blocked, and almost all the people who rushed out were shot dead on the spot, and the rest were ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. ”

"......" Luyang townsman frowned and did not speak.

At this time, Mr. Ram walked from Zhao Yin's side to Luyang Xianghou, and said in a low voice: "Xianghou, things are getting more and more wrong. …… From the very beginning, this matter was very strange, obviously a felony who plotted rebellion, but what he looked like, how old he was, and what his background, the people sent by the court to arrest him never mentioned it, until tonight, he suddenly launched a surprise attack on my township and marquis's mansion, and I felt that the other party was afraid that he was not going to kill people and frame him. ”

The Marquis of Luyang frowned and said bitterly: "But why? Whether it was these Liangcheng soldiers, or the person who called himself a proverb, I had never met them before, so I didn't have any resentment, why did they do this? ”

Mr. Ram obviously couldn't guess what he was thinking, and he stroked his beard and said, "Anyway, this thing is very strange, that fairy proverb...... It's hard to say, but I think that the townsman can't sit still, and should immediately find a way to break through, and flee into the county seat or Ye County with his wife and two sons, seeking the protection of Liu Gong and Ye Gong! ”

"......" Luyang Township Marquis frowned and said nothing.

At this time, Zhang Chun, the head of the guard who was covered in blood, came here from the direction of the front yard, and saw that the Marquis of Luyang Township was talking with Mr. Ram and Cao Ju, and he walked over quickly.

"Countryman."

Luyang Xianghou nodded and asked nervously, "How is it?" ”

Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers of Liangcheng are not powerful, but that group of beasts has a lot of hands, I'm afraid there are thousands of people, and our people can't stop it......"

Seeing this, Mr. Ram immediately said his proposal, and Zhang Chun nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, break through, concentrate the surviving guards and servants, I will escort you, your wife and the two sons to break through towards Ye County, if Ye County is blocked by this group of beasts, we will flee to Yuncheng...... As Mr. Ram said, something is wrong with this, and I also feel that the army of Liang County is not hunting for key criminals at all, they are simply trying to kill us all. There must be some conspiracy behind this! ”

"Breakout ......"

There was a little hesitation on the face of the Luyang townsman, and he couldn't bear to look at the ladies and maids around him.

"Townsman, I can't take care of ......"

As if guessing the thoughts of the Luyang townsman, Zhang Chun lowered his voice and said, "The top priority is to ensure the safety of you, your wife, and your two sons......"

"Uhh

The Marquis of Luyang hesitated for a long time, then let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "Zhang Chun, if you can't go against it, you escort your wife and second son to Ye County, if Ye County can't go, then go to Yuncheng to find my father-in-law...... I'm going to try to negotiate with the other side again. ”

"Townsman?"

"I've made up my mind." Luyang Township Hou Zhengse said.

Since you have to negotiate with the other party, you naturally need to make some preparations in advance.

The Marquis of Luyang immediately ordered Cao Ju to lead the guards to the warehouse in the inner courtyard to move out of the spare oil jar in the house, pour the oil on the ground, and take the futon and other flammable materials, and pile them on one side in case of emergency.

A moment later, a group of guards from the palace and a large number of domestic servants from the front yard hastily retreated to this side, and lined up nervously, only to see that some of them were holding sticks, some holding pitchforks, and some holding kitchen knives, their faces were so pale that they seemed to be shaking their hands.

The next moment, with a clattering sound, a team of soldiers in armor appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, the Luyang Township Marquis patted the back of his wife's hand, and despite the persuasion of Zhang Chun and others, he pushed everyone away and walked to the front of the team, shouting loudly: "I am Zhao Jing and Zhao Gongyu, the Marquis of Luyang Township, and the soldiers on the opposite side are led by Captain Tong Yandu?" …… Your army entered my hometown for no reason, could it be that there is any reason and misunderstanding? I don't know where Captain Tong is? Can you talk to us in person? ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice on the other side replied: "My lord has an order, the Luyang Zhao family harbors and conspires against the felons, and the crime is complicit!" Immediately punished! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers raised their crossbows towards the crowd and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh-"

A salvo of crossbow bolts.

"Countryman!"

Several loyal and courageous servants rushed to defeat the Luyang townspeople, but they still couldn't avoid the Luyang townspeople being hit by two arrows on the spot, and the rest of the crowd, even those innocent young maids, were mercilessly shot by crossbow arrows.

"Protect the townspeople!"

For a while, the crowd was in chaos, but the guards, who had already been instructed by the Luyang townspeople, immediately lit the oil on the ground with torches, forming a barrier wall of fire, and then they continued to throw flammable chairs, bedding and other objects into the sea of fire, making the sea of fire more and more vigorous, forcing those soldiers not to dare to step forward, and retreated again and again.

Seeing that the fire was burning more and more, igniting the buildings on both sides, Cao raised his eyelids and muttered: "I have to do it, the ancestors of the Zhao family don't blame ......"

Suddenly, his face was stunned: it's broken!

At this time, Zhang Chun had already taken the opportunity to drag the Luyang townsman who was hit by the arrow to the back, and immediately carried it to the north house.

"Husband? Husband? ”

Zhou ran to her husband's side in a panic, and by the light of the candle flame, she looked at the arrows in her husband's chest and abdomen in shock, and the clothes that were gradually stained with blood.

"Townsman, let me see your injuries."

Saying this, Zhang Chun stretched out his hand to untie the clothes of the Luyang townsman, but was grabbed by the Luyang townsman's wrist.

I saw the Luyang townsman staring at Zhang Chun and said: "Zhang Chun, while those soldiers have not yet gone around to the back door, immediately lead everyone to escape through the back door, if you can, bring others, it is a ...... to live."

Zhang Chun seemed to realize something, but in an instant, he broke free from the hand of the Luyang townsman, and without saying a word, he pulled out his sword and cut the clothes of the Luyang townsman.

At first glance, he was silent.

Because the crossbow bolt was so deep that it had already hurt the heart.

With such an injury, it is almost impossible to survive the rest of the escape.

Zhou Shi felt that her husband's attitude was a little wrong, and it was not until she saw her husband's injury that she understood, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted, but fortunately she was supported by Zhu and Jingnu's second daughter, and asked eagerly: "Madam?" Madam? ”

"Daddy......"

At this time, the brothers Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu also gathered around their father.

Even if it was Zhao Yu, he was a little at a loss at the moment, and his brother Zhao Yin was even more open at the moment looking at his father's wound, clenching his fists, and his little face was flushed.

"I'm fine."

The Marquis of Luyang reached out and pulled the shirt on one side to cover the wound, and then touched the brothers' faces with his bloodstained hands.

At this time, Cao Ju walked to the side of the Luyang townsman from outside the crowd, and said calmly: "I'll bandage the townsman, Zhang Chun, you go and take your wife and the two sons to break through, don't delay." ”

"Cao Ju ......" Luyang Township Marquis wanted to speak and stopped.

Cao Ju smiled slightly and urged Zhang Chundao: "Go quickly." ”

Zhang Chun nodded, turned to Zhou, Zhao Yin, and Zhao Yu and said, "Please ask the lady and the two sons to break through immediately!" ”

Zhou stepped forward and touched her husband's hand, smiled warmly at her husband, and just when the Marquis of Luyang was about to speak, she turned her head to Zhang Chun and said, "Please, Zhang Weichang." ”

At this time, Cao Ju also shouted at Cao An beside Zhao Yu: "Cao An, come here!" ”

Cao An walked in front of his uncle in a few steps, but saw his uncle bending down, putting his hand heavily on his head, and whispering a few words in his ear.

"Remember?" Cao Ju said sternly.

"Remember!" Cao An nodded heavily.

Immediately, under the leadership of Zhang Chun and a group of guards, Zhou took Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Cao An, Zhao Yin, Mr. Ram and the rest of the domestic servants and maids in the mansion towards the back door.

At this time, there were also some guards guarding the back door of the mansion, and when they saw Zhang Chun and others coming, they immediately greeted them.

"How's it going?" Zhang Chun asked.

One of the guards replied, "There are still guards outside, waiting for us to rush out and die." Just now, Steward Cao ordered me to try to lead people to break through, but as soon as I opened the door, I was almost shot into a sieve by arrows, and those who rushed out were basically dead......" After that, he glanced at the people behind Zhang Chun, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to break through?" ”

"Hmm, we must break through as soon as possible!"

Zhang Chun said with a calm face: "In order to resist those soldiers, the townsman ordered Cao Ju to set a fire in the backyard, and those soldiers were blocked in front of them, and they would inevitably go around to the back......"

When the guard heard this, his face immediately became solemn: "Then we have to hurry." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Chun glanced a few times along the crack in the door, and then looked back at the crowd and whispered: "The guards took the lead in killing out, and then you rushed out together, Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Chu Xiao, Zhang Wei, Xu Ke, you and others are desperate to protect your wife and protect the two sons, understand?" ”

"Understood!" A guard lowered his voice and replied.

Seeing this, Zhang Chun took a deep breath, suddenly opened the back door, and immediately rushed out with a sharp blade in his hand.

Sure enough, under the night outside the back door of the Xianghou Mansion, there was indeed a group of soldiers of the Liangcheng Army in ambush, and when they saw the back door open, they immediately surrounded them, holding bows and crossbows.

In this case, Zhang Chun blocked in front of him, protected his face and throat, and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid! Rush over! ”

"Oh!"

The guards of the Townsman's Mansion shouted in unison, and rushed at the soldiers with torches in their arms.

At this time, the domestic servants, female dependents, and maids in the mansion also took the opportunity to rush outside the mansion and escaped.

With the sound of bowstrings, the men fell to the ground one after another, and only some of them were lucky not to be hit by the arrow, and fled into the distance.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji, Chu Xiao and the others turned their heads to Zhou, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yin and said, "Madam, two sons, hurry, take advantage of now!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou held Zhao Yin's face, kissed his son's forehead, and immediately looked up at Mr. Ram, and said solemnly: "Sir, you take Yin'er first." …… Yin'er, please. ”

Mr. Ram was stunned for a moment, but then seemed to understand something, and nodded heavily.

Immediately, Zhou instructed his personal maid again: "Zhu'er, you go with Mr. Ram and them, remember, take care of Yu'er for me." ”

"Madame......"

As soon as Zhu was about to speak, he heard Zhang Chun shouting loudly in the distance: "Quick! Zhang Ji! Chu Xiao! …… You fuck you! ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiao didn't care about anything else, picked up Zhao Yin and put it behind his back, and said in a low voice: "Go!" ”

Several guards immediately followed.

Zhu looked at Zhou hesitantly, but was grabbed by Mr. Ram's wrist: "Go!" ”

Seeing a few people leave quickly, Zhou turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and Jingnu again, only to see that she squatted down and kissed her youngest son Zhao Yu on the forehead like she had just done to her eldest son.

At this time, Zhao Yu suddenly asked, "Mother, do you want to stay?" With Daddy? ”

Zhou was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "Why do you ask that?" Mother is just ...... Just ......"

Seeing his son staring at him seriously, Zhou couldn't go on, talked helplessly, reached out and touched Zhao Yu's hair, and complained: "Too smart children are not likable, ...... Yu'er"

After that, she sighed, and then said with a smile: "Husband and wife, they should be born together and die together...... Your father has been bullied by his mother for more than ten years, and now that a catastrophe is coming, how can his mother bear to leave him alone? Your dad will be lonely. ”

"Mother......" Zhao Yu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Smiling and touching his son's head, Zhou turned his head to look at Jingnu and gently admonished, "Jingnu, take care of Yu'er for me, okay?" ”

"Madame......" Jing Nu nodded vigorously, unable to sob.

"Zhang Ji!!"

In the distance, Zhang Chun's roar was heard again, angry and eager.

Seeing this, Zhou Shi hugged Zhao Yu and Jingnu in his arms, pushed them away after only a while, and said to Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng and several other guards with a serious expression: "Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, please!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng nodded heavily, one carried Zhao Yu on their backs, the other carried Jingnu, and together with Cao An and the rest of the guards on the side, they broke through towards the night in the distance.

Behind Zhang Ji, Zhao Yu looked back at his mother, and saw his mother standing at the back door, looking at them gently.

"Take care, my two ......."

Seeing his eldest son and second son disappear into the night one after another, Zhou closed the back door, like a noblewoman, and slowly walked to the main house of the north house.

At this time, the fire in the north house has spread quite badly, but the main house has not yet been affected.

In the main house, Cao Ju was already in the couple's bedroom, helping the Luyang Xianghou to bandage his wounds, and when he looked up and saw Zhou returning to the house alone, his eyes widened in horror: "Madam? You ......"

Zhou waved his hand, made a silent gesture, and immediately asked, "Where is the township?" ”

Cao Ju sighed with emotion, and said respectfully: "I have bandaged the wounds of the townsman. ”

"I'm sorry for you, Steward."

"Madame's words are serious."

After thanking Cao Ju, Zhou walked to the bed.

Seeing this, Cao bowed back and gently closed the door.

At this time, the Luyang townsman had become more and more weak due to excessive blood loss, and when he opened his eyes and saw his wife, he was not surprised, but sighed slightly.

Immediately, he asked calmly, "What about Yin'er and Yu'er?" ”

"I was taken by Chu Xiao, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng to break through, but I don't know if I can successfully escape this catastrophe."

"Yes, yes."

The Luyang townsman coughed twice and continued: "More than ten years ago, there was a nameless monk who traveled for them...... Ahem, I've seen the faces for them, you and my two sons are both human kings! How could he die so easily? ”

"The appearance of the human king?" Zhou frowned and asked, "How come the concubine has never heard of it?" ”

"Hmm......" Luyang Township Marquis muttered, "I haven't told anyone. ”

Hearing this, Zhou angrily pinched her husband's waist lightly, and said angrily, "Can you really hide it?" What else is there to hide from the concubine? ”

"It's gone, it'......s gone," the Luyang townsman begged for mercy while pumping cold air.

Immediately, he struggled to sit up, but he didn't want to touch the wound, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What are you doing?" Zhou supported her husband distressedly and helped him sit up on the bed.

The townsman of Luyang shook his head and just looked at his wife quietly.

As if with a clear mind, Zhou sat on the side of the bed and rested her head on her husband's chest.

I don't know how long it took, the Luyang townsman suddenly said: "Madam, I'm sleepy, let's rest first......"

"Ah, husband first...... Let's rest first, concubine...... And then came ......"

However, there was no response from the Luyang townspeople.

Where her husband couldn't see, two tears couldn't stop flowing out of Zhou's eyes.

By the time she quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves and raised her head again, the Luyang townsman had already closed her eyes, as if she was really asleep.

"What do you say is embarrassing, I'm afraid that others will laugh at me, and I won't call my wife, and in the end it's not ......"

With a chuckle, Zhou stood up, walked to the table, stroked his long sleeves, knocked down the oil lamp on the table, and let the oil burn on the table, regardless of the lamp oil stained on the sleeve.

Immediately, she returned to the bed, raised her hand to remove the golden hairpin from her bun, and leaned over her husband's arms, her cheek against her husband's still warm chest.

"Afterlife...... I want to be a husband and wife......"

"Whew-"

At this time, Cao Ju was standing outside the main house with a sword.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked back at the main house and found that the couple's house had burned for some reason.

He sighed and nodded.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of armor, and immediately, many soldiers poured in from the direction of the back door, neatly lined up in front of the main house.

Seeing this, Cao Ju's face turned pale, he shook his sleeves heavily, and then slowly raised the sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, it's late at night, my master has rested, and I won't see any guests!" ”

“……”

A general glanced at the main house of the North Mansion that was gradually burning, and then at Cao Ju, who was alone, and waved his hand casually.

"Shoot the arrows!"

……

……

Near dawn, in Yingshan Mountain on the northeast side of Luyang County, only Zhao Yu and Jingnu stood on the mountainside, looking at the raging fire in the direction of the Xianghou Mansion.

After a while, Zhao Yu said seemingly calmly: "Zhao Yu, Tong Yan...... Or there are others, whoever they are, who will have to pay for it. …… Ten times, a hundred times the price. ”

Behind her, Jingnu gently hugged Zhao Yu and couldn't cry.

That night, a young tiger lost its nest, lost all its dependence and everything, and had to start sharpening its minions.
