The place where the Xue family is located is far away from the main building of Rongguo Mansion, and there are two doors here.

One gate leads to the depths of the Rongguo Mansion, and the other leads to the main street outside the courtyard.

Because it is a separate courtyard, it is relatively quiet.

Previously, only Baochai's family lived here, but now Xue Zhen and Baoqin also live here, which is more or less lively than before.

When Xue Pan was at home, Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Rong often came, and it was more lively here.

After Xue Pan left, he became a lot more deserted.

Tonight, it's lively again.

The main masters of the house are here.

Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, and Qin Keqing all arrived here.

Aunt Xue is the host, so she naturally came forward to entertain her. Baochai is now in charge of the business of Rongguo Mansion and also comes forward to receive it.

These people were all notified by Jia Lian to come here just after returning from the old ancestor.

When Jia Lian notified, he also deliberately said the precautions.

The first is that the ancestors cannot be allowed to know, and the second is that they are not allowed to bring people here. Not even a personal maid.

At this time, these people gathered together, and they were all full of doubts. I don't know what Jia Lian brought them here for.

However, judging from this pomp, everyone has a sense of ominousness. It seems that Jia Lian wants to say something important.

The servants of the Xue family were ordered to stay in their own rooms. They are not allowed to go out of the house, and the masters here do not need to be served.

Xue Zhen was arranged by Jia Lian to wait at the gate of the street, and no one was allowed to come in.

Li Kun and Baoqin were arranged to guard the people leading to the Rongguo Mansion and not allow people to enter.

Jia Lian went to the two doors to check it again, and then came back.

When I got to Xue Pan's room, I led Xue Pan out. I came to the house where everyone was.

"Brother Lian, what's going on, it's time to talk about it this time, but we're in a hurry?"

Jia Yu had been waiting for a long time.

"It's a last resort to bring you all over tonight. Because something big happened, I had to tell everyone. ”

"What the hell is going on, why is the old lady hiding it?"

Mrs. Wang also realized it, and she felt an inexplicable irritability in her heart.

"It's about Baoyu, Third Brother Huan and Brother Rong. I didn't dare to let the ancestors know, for fear that the ancestors would not be able to stand it. ”

"What's wrong with Baoyu? Isn't it in Bukui? ”

"Baoyu and the others are not in Bukui, something happened to them."

"What's wrong?"

Madame Wang stood up.

"Auntie, don't worry, Baoyu's life is not in danger at the moment."

"What about Brother Huan'er and Brother Rong?"

Jia Zheng finally couldn't sit still.

"They ......, don't be impatient, Brother Pan, come on, from beginning to end, in detail, don't fall behind."

"This ......." Xue Pan hesitated again.

"Say, always let your family know, tell the truth, don't hide anything."

"You wicked beast, tell you what you say. In the past, your mouth was always non-stop, and when you came back today, why didn't you speak? ”

Aunt Xue was a little anxious when she saw her son's expectation.

"Okay, then I'll say it."

"After leaving home that day, we followed the army all the way to Windura. When he arrived at Bukui, he didn't go to the Fu Corps to see Feng Ziying. We thought that the Nafu Corps were all the people of the fourth brother Min, and the fourth brother Min had something to say, and when he was called there, he broke us up and trained us according to the recruits. ”

"In this way, we will not be able to go into battle to earn military merits. So I didn't get through the door and went straight to South Ventura. ”

"After two days in South Windura, he followed the army to North Windura. As soon as the army entered North Ventura, 8,000 Tatars surrendered. We thought the battle was going to be fought, so we sent a letter to our family. ”

"Unexpectedly, the Tatars surrendered by fraud, they should cooperate with the inside and outside, and they attacked from inside and outside, and they defeated our army of 150,000."

"At this time, our Wangjiafu Corps has been dispersed. I was behind Baoyu, Brother Huan, Brother Rong, and Mingyan, so I ran out first.

We ran for a day and a night, and finally arrived at the South Windula Pass, where we found that South Windula was also occupied by the Tatars. ”

"We wanted to come back, so we went to the secluded place. At last we found a small wood, and we couldn't walk anymore, so we dismounted and prepared to rest here. ”

"At this time, everything we could throw on us was thrown away, and we had been hungry for a day and a night, thirsty for a day and a night. None of them could walk, so I left the cigarette behind and guarded them. I went looking for something to eat and drink. I think it's good to catch a hare or something. ”

"I walked around the grassland for more than an hour, and finally caught some fish and got some water to go back."

"When I returned, I saw a herd of horses outside the grove, and when I saw it, it was the Tatars."

"I think it's bad now, Baoyu and they are afraid that something will happen. But at this time, the enemy is outnumbered, and I am alone, and I am definitely not their opponent. However, I can't leave Baoyu and the others alone. ”

So I crept over and tried to get them out. When I could see them, I saw that several of them had been captured by a dozen Tatars. ”

"Huh? Caught? How good is that? ”

Xue Pan was interrupted by Mrs. Wang.

Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng were already crying. Mrs. Xing and You Shi also quietly wiped their tears on the side.

"Didn't a few of them want to run?"

Jia Zhen couldn't sit still.

"Brother Zhen'er, don't worry, even if you catch it, it doesn't matter, we can redeem it in the future."

Jia Yu also felt that something was wrong, so he pretended to be calm and said.

"Yes, we can redeem them, even if we have more money. Brother Pan, tell me quickly, which Tatar captured them? ”

Mrs. Wang was concerned and confused, and she was already panicking.

"If it's just caught, it's okay, it's just that the Tatars, they're not human at all, they're unexpectedly, ......."

"What's going on? Say it! ”

Aunt Xue was also panicked.

"Aunt Xue, don't scare Brother Pan, let him speak slowly. Brother Pan, don't be afraid, say it, say it, and you will feel better in the future. ”

At this time, Xue Pan was already trembling, and looked at Jia Lian pitifully.

Under Jia Lian's interrogation, he had already told Jia Lian about this matter.

Still, when I talk about it now, I still have lingering palpitations.

Taking the cup of tea handed over by Jia Lian, Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued.

"It's not that they don't want to run, they just can't. Fight and fight, only at the mercy of the Tatars. ”

"How did the Tatars do it?"

At that time, Baoyu and the others surrendered, knelt on the ground, and begged the Tatars for mercy. However, the Tatars say, it is okay to spare your life, but ....... ”

"But how?"

Jia Zhen picked up again.

"The Tatars say, 'Of the four of you, only two will live.' The other two had to die. ”

"Huh?"

Although everyone already knew that the four of Baoyu were in danger, they did not expect the Tatars to treat them like this.

However, they no longer dare to ask who is dead and who is alive.

However, in my heart, I still vaguely hope that my own people can survive.

"If the Tatars kill someone, it's better to say something. Unexpectedly, they came up with even more vicious tricks. ”

"What about the Tatars?"

At this time, everyone was already in turmoil, as long as Jia Yu was still sober.

"They actually called Baoyu and the four of them to duel, saying that two of them had to be killed, and the other two would survive."

Jia Yu was about to speak again, but Jia Lian shook his hand and stopped him, so he didn't say it.

At this time, the third brother of Huan made the first move. He drew his sword and took advantage of Brother Rong'er's unpreparedness, just ....... ”

"What's the matter?"

Qin Keqing asked eagerly.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Jia Zhen was also full of tears.

He had already thought of the terrible outcome, but he still had a glimmer of illusion in his heart.

"Just kill Brother Rong."

It seemed that it took a lot of effort for Xue Pan to finally say this.

As soon as Xue Pan's voice fell, he heard a loud sound, and Qin Keqing leaned back and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, You Shi and Wang Xifeng didn't care about their sorrows, and hurriedly went to see Qin Keqing. shouted again, pinched people again, and after drumming for a while, Qin Keqing cried out and woke up.

Mrs. Wang and the others were about to help Qin Keqing to the room of Xiwu Baochai, when they saw the door being kicked open, and a crutch came in first, and then Jia Mu stumbled in, holding the cane, and beat anyone when she saw it.

"You bastards, you hide it so hard from me! Bastard stuff, stuff ....... ”

The old lady scolded and beat indiscriminately, and suddenly threw herself on the ground and fainted.

Everyone hurried to take care of the old lady, and hurriedly carried her to the kang, so as to wake the old lady up.

It's summer, it's getting dark, and the old lady is getting older and feeling lighter. At this time in the past, many people chatted with her for a while every day to accompany her to relieve her boredom.

As soon as I finished eating today, I left, and I waited for a while and no one came. The old lady was a little puzzled.

At this time, the stupid eldest sister came back from playing outside, and said that everyone had gone to Xue's house.

The old lady thought that everyone had gone to Xue's house to see Xue Pan. I was also excited in my heart, first, I came here to see the excitement, and second, I felt that I should also go to Xue's house to comfort me. So he came down accompanied by Mandarin Duck and Amber.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Li Kun and Baoqin looking around at the door, and remembered that the stupid eldest sister said that those masters didn't even bring maids, so I had doubts in my heart.

Seeing that the old lady was coming, the two naturally didn't dare to stop them. It's just that the people are not here.

The old lady is an old person, and she is even more suspicious in her heart. So he forced himself in, and asked Li Kun and Baoqin to follow him and not make a noise.

Li Kun and Baoqin didn't know what was being discussed, and the old lady said so, so naturally they had to be obedient.

And when he had entered the house, he listened secretly in the outer room, and heard all the things that were spoken by all the people in the inner room.

Hearing that Jia Huan killed Jia Rong, he couldn't hold back anymore, so he broke in.
