Chapter 212: Bad News on the Way to Escape
I haven't seen him for a year, whether it's Sima Tan, or Ah Qi and Xiao Hu, they have all become a little unrecognizable to Yang Xianrong, their edges and corners are more distinct, their eyes are more resolute, and although their bodies are thinner than before, they have grown a lot taller, they should have a very bad year.
The three of them also felt a lot of emotion when they saw the sheep Xianrong, and they knelt at her feet and cried without even seeing the ceremony, saying that they had grown up, and they still retained some children's hearts after all. They don't have much time to get along, and they can't all waste it on crying, so Yang Xianrong pulled up the three of them and asked Xiao Hu to go to the door to let the wind out, so as not to let outsiders approach, she pulled the other two to sit together, and waited for their emotions to calm down before asking them what happened.
The faces of the two suddenly became ugly, and they couldn't say why, Yang Xianrong was anxious, and when he saw the two of them like this, his heart became even more anxious, something must have happened The two of them didn't dare to let her know. "What the hell is going on?" She asked anxiously: "I can only stay for a while, you can tell me the matter quickly, and then what to do, I can think of another way." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ah Qi suddenly burst into tears, he knelt up straight, kowtowed to the sheep three times, and then said, "Grandmother is dead, and Sister Nian'er is gone." ”
The two sentences slashed into Yang Xianrong's heart like two thunderbolts, and she couldn't even understand the meaning of these two sentences, so she muttered for a long time: "What?" ”
Sima Qin was also in tears, he hugged Yang Xianrong's stiff body, and cried in her ear and said: "Queen Mother, we are incompetent, we didn't protect our grandmother and Nian'er's sister, and the third sister, we ......" Sima Qin cried and couldn't go on.
"Third sister?" Yang Xianrong's mind was blank, and it took a long time to realize who the third sister was, "Xuanhua?" What happened to Xuanhua? ”
"The third sister disappeared with Nian'er's sister, we have been looking for them, but we can't find them." Sima Qin wiped her tears, choked up and said: "After the third sister and Nian'er sister disappeared, my grandmother was worried about being reborn and fell ill, and then the plague came, and my grandmother unfortunately contracted the disease and did not survive. ”
Yang Xianrong forced herself to calm down, she didn't have much time, she had to force herself to listen to everything calmly, sad or broken, she could only wait until she returned to the Sogo Hall to vent, she breathed heavily, and engraved what Sima Qin said in her mind word by word.
On the day of Sima Zhen's death last year, Sima Qin and Sima Xuanhua took everyone out of the palace from the east gate, and Yan Sheng answered, and soon went out of Luoyang City, and met with the Sun family and the sheep attached couple, everything went well, and they have been hiding in Tibet in the following days, Sima Yue has not given up tracking Sima Qin's whereabouts, and even a few times they were almost wiped out.
Because they have been following up on the news of Luoyang, they don't dare to run too far, they have been hiding in Henan, making fun of hardship, and they can get by, but their group goal is too big, and after being found again, they decided to hide in two ways, and then reunite in one place. Sima Xuanhua took Nian'er and the Sun family to be protected by Yan Sheng, while Sima Qin and Yangfu's family were protected by Xiao Hu.
At that time, they had just escaped a search, and Sima Yue probably knew that they were hiding in Henan, so most of the people sent were also in Henan, and after discussing it, they decided to go south, first to ensure their own safety, and then there was hope for the rest of the matter. With such a decision, the group only waited for a chance to leave. Because they had not been found, after a few days, the search for them finally slowed down, and the men divided their troops into two ways according to the plan.
Who knows, the plan was leaked out, the two groups of people were blocked in the process of escaping, Yan Sheng's henchmen and brothers were all killed, Xiao Hu was also seriously injured, and almost fought for his life to reluctantly bring Sima Qin and others out, they hid in a cave in the mountains, and waited for Xiao Hu's injuries to heal a little, and then set off to continue south as planned. It was already two months before I saw Sun again.
Sun was dragging the sick body to meet them, after encountering the pursuers, Yan Sheng led people to cover their retreat, and they had already reached a safe place, but in the middle of the night, the pursuers suddenly arrived again, and took away Nian'er and Sima Xuanhua, Yan Sheng hurriedly took people to chase, the battle on both sides was fierce, taking advantage of the chaos Sima Xuanhua ran away with Nian'er, so far there was no news, they waited for a long time at the agreed place of convergence, and neither of them arrived. Immediately after the outbreak of the plague, Sun first contracted the disease, and then Su Chen and Ah Di also fell ill, Yang Fu took charge of the patient and took care of him every day, and in the end, Sun died of the disease, Su Chen and Ah Di survived, but although they recovered, their bodies were not as good as before.
After the plague passed, they knew that they couldn't wait for Sima Xuanhua, so they simply ventured back to Henan, wanting to look for the place where they had lost. Because the plague has just passed, the magistrates everywhere want to celebrate, and there is also the meaning of praying to the heavens, so during the Shangyuan Festival, many cities have held lantern festivals, and the people have just experienced life and death, and it is rare to be able to take a breath, so they have gone out, and the streets of that day are lively that has not been seen for a long time.
Sima Qin and the three of them secretly went out, they didn't go to join in the fun, but they felt that Yi Nian'er was so lively, if she was in the local area, she would definitely beg Sima Xuanhua to take her to see the lights, Sima Xuanhua responded to Nian'er's needs, and would definitely agree to her, so they wanted to try their luck, maybe they could find Nian'er at the meeting, the reason why they didn't tell Yang Fu was that they knew that they would definitely oppose it, and the lantern festival was lively, but it was also dangerous. Sure enough, not long after they appeared at the Lantern Festival, their pursuers spotted them, and there were only three of them, and they were eventually captured.
Yang Xianrong listened to the whole story quietly, and at the end, asked, "Does your master know that you have been arrested?" ”
Sima Qin nodded. Aqi continued: "Daddy also secretly went to the Lantern Festival that day and saw us being arrested with his own eyes. ”
Yang Xianrong raised his hand to wipe the surging tears, and then asked, "Who is it?" ”
Aqi wiped his eyes and asked a little inexplicably, "What who?" ”
Sima Qin said calmly: "The two sisters of the Wei family. ”
Their group was already temporarily safe, and Sima Yue's people had not found them and planned to retreat, but just when they had just divided their troops to go south, the pursuers suddenly came up again, and there was no other possibility except that someone had reported their whereabouts.
The Wei sisters have been on an errand with Sun since the last time they followed them back to Luoyang, the two of them are smart and diligent, and have eyesight, they are very much liked by Sun, this escape, they took the two sisters with them, and they wanted to let the two go home when they arrived in Henan, who knew that they were chased all the way to Henan, and there was no suitable opportunity at all. It was in this process that the mentality of the two sisters also changed. From the fact that they knew that Yang Xianrong was the queen, and that handsome son would be the prince of the dynasty in the future, the two of them stayed in the Yangfu with all their hearts, and climbing the high branches was only the first step. When Sima Qin had not yet entered the East Palace, the two of them were very attentive to him, Sima Qin had not yet gone through the affair, and he could not be indifferent to the overtures of the two good-looking girls, so he made a promise to take them into the palace when he returned to the East Palace in the future.
Later, Sima Qin entered the palace, it was difficult to protect himself, and the matter was gone, the Wei sisters listened to the masters of the Yangfu and thought that Sima Qin was going to be the emperor, so they were not in a hurry, and waited for the day when they entered the palace with joy, who knew that the palace did not enter, but one day they ran out of Luoyang again, and then they heard that the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, but the one who ascended the throne was not Sima Qin.
The subsequent downfall of life made the Wei sisters more and more unbearable, and several near-deaths made them even more frightened, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore, and denounced them before the sheep decided to flee in two ways, and after that, everyone scattered and separated, and the sisters did not know where to go.
Yang Xianrong hatefully shook the square table in front of her, these two sisters were left by her at that time, looking at them obedient and well-behaved, who would have thought that at the critical moment, she was the culprit who lost her mother and daughter. Yang Xianrong was unacceptable, and the fire in her heart burned, but she was still helpless.
Yang Xianrong fell into a deep mood of sadness and frustration, in this troubled world, her strength is too small, she never wants much, just to protect the family around her, but today, there are fewer and fewer people around her, she can't do anything at all.
Yang Xianrong raised his eyes, looked at the two children who were also deep in self-blame, thinking that they were also unable to sleep these days, on the one hand, they had to face their unknown future, on the other hand, they also had to face the sadness after Yang Xianrong learned the truth, they were only teenagers, and they had this troubled world, and this unlucky family background, it was already the biggest misfortune.
Yang Xianrong couldn't be harsh on them anymore, she endured the discomfort in her stomach that kept churning, hugged the two of them tightly, and said: "If you come, you will be safe, we don't know what will happen next now, you must be careful, the food at the entrance must be checked clearly, the few eunuchs left behind in the Chongming Hall should not be too trusted, if there is something, secretly find the guard who let us in today, let him find a way to tell me, and wait for me to clear my thoughts." ”
Sima Qin nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother." ”
Azie's sad mood has not passed, he was brought up by Sun, he has a deep affection for his grandmother, when Sun just left, he was completely unable to speak and do things, and cried when he moved, especially when Sun was buried, he threw himself on her grave and cried until he fainted. In his heart, Sun is kind and kind, and he is a kind person, who would have thought that such a person would leave in this way, and he could only be simply buried in a wasteland, and he didn't know if there would be a chance for her soul to return to her hometown in the future. It wasn't until half a month later that Ah Qi slowly cheered up, he was not sad, but he knew that there were more important things to do, and what his grandmother was most worried about before leaving was Nian'er and her aunt, so he had to do his best to find Nian'er and protect her aunt.
It's just that today, when talking about these things again, his grief swept over him again, so he cried breathlessly, and it wasn't until Yang Xianrong had to leave that he sobbed and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will take care of the prince's brother." ”
