Chapter 2: Life and Death
It's late at night.
The cold wind outside the window has stopped howling, and so has the snow.
The young lady was already asleep and snoring evenly.
Mei sat by the door, closed his eyes and breathed.
For some reason, her mind was very confused tonight, and she had an ominous premonition as if something was going to happen.
In my mind, I remembered the scene from three months ago.
On that day, she was ordered to lead people to pretend to be bandits, and ambushed the officers and soldiers escorting gold to the Shendu in Langshan.
But while transporting the gold away, she accidentally found a box in the chest, which contained a wolfskin book.
The wolf book was written in two languages, and she naturally recognized the Chinese characters in them.
It was an alliance between the Liuzhao tribe and Yang Su, one of the nine elders of the Kai Sui Dynasty, in the previous dynasty.
The content of the covenant is an agreement between the Liuzhao tribe and the previous dynasty. The tribe of the six edicts will submit to the previous dynasty, and if someone holds this alliance in the future, he can order the six edicts. It also has the seal and signature of the king of the six edicts at that time...... Originally, Mei didn't care about this covenant, so he put it on his body casually. However, as she was about to deliver the gold to her destination, she was suddenly attacked by an ambush that wiped out almost all of her men and slightly wounded her.
Those who ambushed her, although masked in black, hid their identities.
But Mei can still recognize that the person who is the leader is Mrs. Lan, who she has always regarded as a sister, one of the three gentlemen of the old and cold.
Why did Lady Lan ambush her?
You know, they're all in this together!
Mei Niangzi immediately realized that the situation was not good, and she didn't even take revenge on Mrs. Lan, but fled overnight and came to Zizhou to shoot the flood.
In Zizhou, she didn't show up, let alone meet the other person among the three gentlemen, Zhulangjun.
Mrs. Lan poisoned her, God knows if Zhu Langjun also has bad intentions?
She hid in Shehong County for three days, and sneaked into the other party's house while Nazhu Langjun was not at home one day. found the young lady who lived in Zhulangjun's house, and after leaving a letter, he fled overnight and hid in Xindu County.
Subsequently. She also asked her old servant Lao Lu to go to Ba County to fight an outpost.
After hiding in Xindu for two months, seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Mei took the young lady to leave Xindu and prepare to meet Lao Lu in Ba County. Her goal was very clear, after arriving in Ba County. She would go north from Shannan Road to Luoyang to find Yang Shouwen. The six edicts were the gift that Mei used to forgive sins and obtain Yang Shouwen's forgiveness.
What exactly is the Six Edicts and Elephant Book?
She doesn't know much either!
But there is one thing she knows very well, that is, Mrs. Lan's attack on her will never be a personal will.
She and Mrs. Lan don't have any grievances, why did Mrs. Lan harm her?
The only possibility is that the lord behind them wants to kill her...... But what is the reason? She still hasn't figured it out. In the eyes of outsiders, the three monarchs of Sui Han are unrestrained and no one can control them. But Mei knew it in her heart. The three of them can have today, completely because of the support of the benefactor behind them. Since Mrs. Lan wants to kill her, what about Zhu Langjun?
Who Huang Wenqing is, Mei knows very well in his heart.
A guy who is elegant on the outside but vicious on the inside.
This person is two-faced and stabbed, and his methods are vicious...... Although Mei thinks that his methods are vicious, he is still much inferior to him.
The top priority is to leave Shu as soon as possible and go to the Shendu to join Yang Shouwen.
That Yang Shouwen is now famous. has made great achievements in Cheung Chau before, and it must be a spring breeze. What's more, although Luoyang is dangerous, if Yang Shouwen can accept her. Her benefactor was afraid and couldn't help her.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Writing this, all the officials must have also known Mei's identity.
That's right, she is the Mei lady in the three gentlemen of the old Han, and the girl next to her is also the young lady that Yang Shouwen never forgets.
The night is getting darker.
The snow has stopped though. But there were still dark clouds outside.
Mei Niangzi leaned against the door, sleepiness came to her, and she couldn't help but take a nap.
But at this moment, a dog barking came, which woke up Mei Niangzi.
It was the middle of the night, and it was freezing cold.
If there are no people, how can dogs bark?
She shuddered, walked quickly to the bedside, and woke up the young lady.
"Master, do you want to leave?"
The young lady slept in a daze, rubbed her eyes with her little hands, looked at Mei Niangzi and asked.
Mei Niangzi motioned to her not to speak, "Young lady, get dressed." ”
She whispered in the young lady's ear, then took the poncho from the hanger, picked up a black-sheathed sword from the table, and stuffed it into the young lady's arms. She wrapped the young lady's petite body in a snow poncho, picked it up, and then picked up another white-sheathed sword on the table, and walked briskly to the window, and then gently pushed the window up.
Outside, there's no one!
Although Mei Niangzi was holding the young lady, her skills were very flexible, and she was not affected at all because of the extra person in her arms.
The room where she was located was on the second floor.
Downstairs was thick with snow, and she jumped down with her young lady in her arms, then rolled in the snow and rolled over.
"Master......"
"Don't be afraid, young lady, Master is here...... Close your eyes, get some sleep, and when you wake up, we'll be safe. ”
Mrs. Mei's fair face showed a kind smile, then she lowered her head, touched the young lady's forehead, and then carried her on her back and tied it with a big belt.
"Young lady, let's go."
She whispered, and ran wildly.
At the same time, the door to the guest room was suddenly kicked open.
A group of people burst in from outside, armed with torches.
When one of them saw the window open, he hurriedly ran over to look outside, and immediately exclaimed, "They have gone through the window." ”
The other walked over to the bed and reached out to test the temperature on the futon.
"They just left, inform Lang Jun, let's chase."
As he spoke, several people jumped out of the window, while the others turned and walked out of the room, speeding down the hallway.
In the hall downstairs, the shopkeeper and his fellows collapsed in a pool of blood.
A few guests woke up from their sleep, opened the door and were about to shout, when they saw a black shadow pass in front of them, followed by them and fell to the ground, without breath.
"Huang Si, be clean, don't leave a single one."
Someone downstairs gave a deep order, and the few people upstairs broke into the other guest rooms without saying a word.
In the guest room, there were bursts of screams.
A young man downstairs picked up the register on the counter, glanced at it, and landed on Mei's name.
"Ba County!"
The corners of his mouth twitched, he sneered, and threw the register into the brazier.
"Burn down the inn, and the rest of the people will follow me."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The snow is deep and it is very difficult to walk.
Although Mei Niangzi is extremely skilled, she has a person on her back, and after a while, she also feels that her physical strength is weak.
Behind him, a dog barked.
Her face changed, and she glanced to the left and right, and her eyes fell on a boulder by the side of the road.
The boulder has a peculiar shape, about two meters high.
Mei Niangzi rolled her eyes, walked two steps quickly, jumped onto the boulder, and stuffed the young lady into the pit and gap at the top of the boulder.
"Young lady, hide here and wait for me to come back."
"Master......"
In the young lady's heart, there was a bad omen, and she couldn't help but shout softly.
Mei Niangzi smiled, a bright smile appeared on her face, and gently patted the young lady's cheek, "If it wasn't for the master being too stubborn, you wouldn't have to suffer like this with the master." Hide here and wait for me to come back. If I hadn't come back by dawn...... You just get out of here. Remember, Lao Lu betrayed us, don't believe him.
If you have a chance, go to Luoyang and find your brother Yang Shouwen...... Remember, it's called Yang Shouwen! ”
The young lady's eyes were shining with tears.
She had a hunch that she would never see Master again!
"Master, don't go."
"Silly boy, it will be even more dangerous for Master to take you.
After you meet Yang Shouwen, remember to tell him something...... Mrs. Lan's name is Su Yun, she is the eldest lady of the Su family in Suzhou, and Zhu Langjun's name is Huang Wenqing. Also, the copy of the Six Edicts must be given to your brother...... Remember, don't think about avenging me, get out of here immediately and find a way to Luoyang. ”
Mei Niangzi didn't wait for the young lady to speak again, knocked her unconscious with one palm, and then wrapped her in a white wolf skin, covering her face even more.
The dog barks, getting closer.
Mei Niangzi glanced at the young lady again, gritted her teeth, and jumped off the boulder.
She waited for a while in the snow when she saw a flickering fire in the distance, getting closer and closer.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and ran wildly towards Qingshidu. After a while, I saw more than a dozen horses passing by the boulder, and a few mastiffs accompanied by them, chasing in the direction where Mei Niangzi fled...... (To be continued.) )
