Volume 1 The Relationship is Deep and Shallow Chapter 4 The Mansion is Destroyed
At this time, the Lianfu is quiet and tranquil, the night is dark, the sky with sparse moon and stars shrouds the earth, the cold breeze keeps swaying the luxuriant osmanthus trees in the courtyard, so that the loose osmanthus and branches and leaves shake off the ground, and the vast dark night reflects a trace of desolate atmosphere.
At this time, Lian Shangshu was patiently coaxing the two children to sleep, and Mrs. Lian was sitting on the side reading a book, looking up at this warm scene in the house from time to time, and her heart unconsciously gave birth to some warmth, and the happy appearance of the family made her satisfied.
"Daddy, Yao'er wants to go into the palace tomorrow to play with Brother Moyu..."Lian Yuyao was lying on the bed, but she was never coaxed to sleep, her round eyes were wide open, and she raised her eyes to look at her father who was sitting on the edge of her bed, and her mouth kept chattering.
After she came back from the palace that day, she kept shouting that she wanted to enter the palace to play with Song Moyu.
Lian Shangshu didn't take it seriously at all, just thought it was a child's fairy tales, and every time it was a few words to coax the past, but Lian Yuyao always remembered it in her heart, and from time to time she mentioned it to her father, this time it was the countless times she had thought about it.
"You go to sleep quickly, when you wake up tomorrow, Daddy will take you to the palace to play." Lian Shangshu was helpless by her, so he could only continue to coax and coax him.
The daughter is still young and doesn't understand the rules of the palace at all, and it is useless for him to explain more, so he can only coax her step by step.
"Then Daddy is not allowed to lie to Yao'er anymore, he will definitely take Yao'er to find Brother Moyu tomorrow!" Lian Yuyao babbled again.
"Okay, okay, Daddy promised you that he would never lie to you this time." Lian Shangshu covered the quilt tightly for her, and replied with a doting face.
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door, and then the hurried voice of Lian Shangshu's personal guard Lu Tianqi sounded: "My lord, my subordinates have an urgent report!" ”
When Lian Shangshu heard this, he stood up with some doubts, then walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.
"My lord, it's not good......" Lu Tianqi whispered in Lian Shangshu's ear.
When he finished everything, Lian Shangshu was instantly shocked and urgently ordered: "Quick! Get in the carriage! Let's leave for the palace now! ”
"My lord, I'm afraid it's too late, this matter is obviously coming for adults, if you go rashly this time, there must be no return, for today's plan is to transfer Mrs. and Son, Miss and all the family members of Lianfu first, and then let's find a way to get out, otherwise the entire Lianfu will not be guaranteed if it drags on." Lu Tianqi analyzed worriedly.
He already felt that something was wrong when he received the gossip that Concubine Lian had been grounded just now, and now the more he thinks about it, the more terrible he feels.
"Okay, let's get going!" Lian Shangshu felt that Lu Tianqi was reasonable, so he immediately turned around and went back to the house, woke up the children who were lying on the bed and were about to fall asleep, and packed up his wife and children in a panic.
"Master, what's going on?" Mrs. Lian saw that as soon as Lian Shangshu returned to the house, she was in a hurry, she immediately put down the book and got up and walked to Lian Shangshu to ask, at this moment her mood was a little faintly uneasy.
"Yu Xin has an accident in the palace! Now it is even more implicated in our entire Lian family, and now that the palace has sent someone to arrest us, we have to leave quickly, otherwise once we are arrested, there will be no return! Lian Shangshu explained anxiously.
When Mrs. Lian heard this, her face was instantly full of horror, she felt a little weak legs, and her body was almost unstable, after all, a woman's family, the first time she encountered this kind of danger, her heart was extremely frightened, but she thought of the safety of her two children, so she quickly cheered up and hurriedly helped Lian Shangshu pack up.
Subsequently, Lian Shangshu and his wife hurriedly walked out of the gate of Lian Mansion with their two children and their families, and sat in several carriages.
But their speed still couldn't keep up with the officers and soldiers who came to arrest them in the palace, and before Lian Shangshu and Mrs. Lian could get into the carriage, they were surrounded by the officers and soldiers sent by Xiao Xiangguo.
"Lord Lian, even now, you still want to escape?" Led by Xiao Xiangguo's subordinate Li Zhongming, he walked out of the group of officers and soldiers, walked in front of Lian Shangshu and his wife, slowly approached them step by step with a sword, and stared at the two with a cold smile.
"Weichen has always been loyal to the emperor, and it is absolutely impossible to do anything rebellious! This matter must be framed, and if you want to add to the crime, why should you excuse it? Lian Shangshu drew his sword out of the sheath, while protecting the lady beside him, and led her to retreat cautiously step by step, while raising his sword and pointing directly at Li Zhongming, vigilantly guarding against him approaching step by step.
"Let's wait for Lord Lian to go to the prison and talk to the people of Dali Temple, this official is only responsible for arresting a rebel like you." Li Zhongming chuckled disdainfully.
Then, he raised his hand and gave an order gesture to the officers and soldiers behind him, and the officers and soldiers instantly rushed up in unison, ready to arrest Lian Shangshu and the family members of Lian Fu.
Lian Shangshu reacted quickly and pushed the lady beside him into the carriage, and shouted to Lu Tianqi behind him: "Take Mrs. and Miss Gongzi away first!" ”
Then he held the sword in his hand and exchanged hands with Li Zhongming, between the sword light and sword shadows, the sword aura struck people, and the entire gate of Lianfu was filled with a desolate killing aura for a moment, and there was a cold collision sound between swords and swords.
"Your Excellency!" Lu Tianqi shouted hesitantly, and quickly took Mrs. Lian into the carriage.
While fighting fiercely with Li Zhongming, Lian Shangshu shouted at Lu Tianqi, who was sitting at the head of the carriage hesitatingly: "Hurry up!" ”
Lu Tianqi was very helpless, knowing that it was the top priority to escort his wife and Miss Gongzi away safely at this time, he couldn't take care of Lian Shangshu, and immediately drove the carriage to break out of the encirclement in the chaotic battle between the officers and soldiers and the guards of the company's mansion, and quickly drove towards the outskirts of the city.
"Apocalypse, you leave with your two children! I'll stay with my lord..."Mrs. Lian was dragged into the carriage by Lu Tianqi just now, and at this time, in the strong bumps of the carriage, she staggered to the head of the carriage, and pleaded with a worried cry, she really couldn't worry about Lian Shangshu's safety.
"Madame, don't worry, my subordinates will take you away first, and after escorting you out of the city safely, I will come back to help the master, so that I can have no worries." Lu Tianqi ignored Mrs. Lian's request, and kept speeding forward in the carriage.
"Woo woo woo ~ brother, Yao'er is scared!" Lian Yuyao hid in Lian Zhiheng's arms, looking at the scene of the fight outside the carriage window, which was extremely bloody, she was so shocked that she cried instantly, and kept whimpering.
"Yao'er, don't be afraid! Brother is here! Lian Zhiheng stared worriedly at his father, who was fighting with people behind the carriage, and covered Lian Yuyao's eyes tightly with trembling hands, preventing her from seeing the terrifying scene of swords and blood outside the carriage.
Lian Zhiheng himself stared intently at the chaotic battle scene in the distance behind him, his heart was full of fear, although he was still just a child, he knew what this situation meant......
Suddenly, Lian Shangshu looked back at the carriage where his wife and children had left, and at the moment of distraction, he was stabbed in the heart by Li Zhongming's sword, he instantly spit out a mouthful of blood, knelt straight to the ground, and kept following the direction of the carriage, and then fell in a pool of blood without blinking.
This scene was seen by Lian Zhiheng, who was getting farther and farther away, and he watched his father being stabbed to death with a sword outside the carriage window.
At this time, he already understood the meaning of life and death, his tears instantly burst out of his eyes, the pain in his heart was entangled, he opened his mouth slightly, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Dad! ”
He hugged his sister tightly in his arms, but his hands were still tightly clasped around her eyes, preventing her from seeing the sad scene outside the carriage window.
Mrs. Lian and Lu Tianqi also saw the scene where Lian Shangshu was stabbed to death by Li Zhongming, and they felt powerless, after all, there was still a group of officers and soldiers chasing behind them at this moment, and they could only try their best to flee for their lives.
Mrs. Lian looked at her husband who was lying dead in a pool of blood from a distance, raised her hand to cover her mouth and cried bitterly.
A few hours ago, they were a happy family, but now they are separated forever.
Lian Yuyao quietly hid in her brother's arms, covering her ears in horror and ignoring everything outside, although she was still young and didn't know what life and death parting was, she didn't see the tragic scene of her father's death with her brother's protection, but she still understood that they were experiencing terrible things.
Lu Tianqi tried his best to drive the carriage to the outskirts of the city, came to the mountains and forests, and hurried to the mountain, but there were more and more chasing soldiers behind, the carriage became more and more bumpy, and the mother and son in the car all felt slightly unwell because of the severe shaking.
Suddenly, at the moment when Lu Tianqi was a little relaxed, an arrow from the pursuer hit the horse's body accurately, causing the entire carriage to be overturned, and several people in the carriage were thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Tianqi didn't care about the pain in his body, quickly helped up Mrs. Lian, who was also injured, picked up Lian Zhiheng and Lian Yuyao, who were crying because of the fall, and continued to flee for their lives in the deep forest, but the arrows behind him kept shooting towards them one by one, and the scene was extremely thrilling.
In a hurry, Lu Tianqi had to put the two children down first, picked up the sword and turned around and swung it hard, blocking the arrows that kept shooting at them one by one.
"Madam, you take Childe and Miss to run first! Subordinates hold them back! Lu Tianqi handed over the two children to Mrs. Lian and said on his own.
"No! You're too dangerous! Mrs. Lian objected again and again, insisting that Lu Tianqi flee with her.
"Madam, your subordinates are strong in martial arts, and they will definitely be able to stop them, so you go first, and your subordinates will catch up with you later." Lu Tianqi hurriedly pushed Mrs. Lian and her two children into the deep forest, while he stayed behind to fight with the officers and soldiers chasing from the rear.
Mrs. Lian didn't insist anymore, and immediately led the two children to run quickly into the deep forest.
But she had barely taken a few steps when she was hit by a sudden flying arrow, and she instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.
The two children stopped in an instant, squatted on Mrs. Lian's side, shook her body anxiously, and shouted in a panic with crying: "Mother! Mother! What happened to you? ”
"Mother, no... Run, you two... Remember... Good... Stay alive... You know? Mrs. Lian used her last strength to instruct the two children.
"Don't! No! Yao'er don't leave her mother's ......" Lian Yuyao was vaguely aware of the pain of parting with her blood relatives at this time, she stretched out her fleshy little hand, grabbed her mother's hand tightly, kept shaking her head, her red little face was covered with tears, and she cried out in grief.
