"Queen Mother, silence, don't make a sound. If it is discovered by some thieves outside, it will be dangerous. ”

In a dusty utility room with a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the inn, there was a low voice. The two of them hid in these miscellaneous objects, and through the miscellaneous objects in front of them, they hid their figures.

Empress Dowager Dong nodded, indicating that she understood, and the palm that covered her mouth was released. As soon as the palm of her hand was released, Empress Dowager Dong immediately took a few big breaths, but the dust in the utility room made her frown and feel a little uncomfortable.

However, she also knew that it happened suddenly, and it was very fortunate that she could not be found by those thieves. There's no room to pick out what to hide in, and where it's relatively clean.

"Queen Mother, are you okay?" The palace maid next to her asked cautiously.

She lowered her voice, her voice was very low, so low that only the Empress Dowager Dong and herself could hear clearly, at this juncture, even if she had escaped the search, no one knew if there would be a second search or she had to be careful.

The incident happened suddenly, and she could only do this, and the action of covering the Queen Mother's mouth just now was a disrespectful action. On other occasions, at other times, she knew very well that being killed with a cane might be the lightest option.

She had to do this again, if she didn't do this, if the Queen Mother was discovered by thieves, the consequences would be much more serious than this.

She is just a palace maid, although her status is quite high compared to other palace maids. But her identity is all based on the love of serving the Queen Mother for so many years. Compared with the identity of the Queen Mother, it is even more worthless, it is completely one in the sky and one on the ground.

The Queen Mother must not fall into the hands of thieves, these bold and reckless thieves actually put their ideas on the royal convoy, which is really unimaginable to the palace maid. It was also successful, and the current silence of the entire post house undoubtedly means that the soldiers who were originally guarding the convoy have been killed, so there will be no movement at all.

If the Queen Mother falls into the hands of thieves again, this incident is likely to become the biggest laughing stock of today, and it will also be the biggest stain on the royal family. In this case, she has no way to do more things, she can only hide the Queen Mother, hoping that these thieves will leave as soon as possible, and then she can run to the nearest county town to ask for help, so that the local government will send troops to protect the Queen Mother, and at the same time send troops to encircle and suppress the thieves.

Only, when will these thieves leave? This is undoubtedly still an unknown, and the palace maid worriedly observed the small square world outside the open door through the gap between the debris and the debris. She was most afraid of someone coming in again, rummaging through them, and finding them, and that would be bad.

On the other side, the Empress Dowager Dong was extremely embarrassed, when she woke up from her sleep, and after being taken to the utility room by the most trusted palace maid around her to hide, the clothes on her body were very messy, and she was still the underwear she wore before falling asleep. Now, there is a lot of dust on the bottom coat, and the whole dress has become gray and simple, and you can still see tangled spider silk on it.

Empress Dowager Dong is old, and it is extremely difficult to fall asleep every day, and she has the habit of sleeping very lightly and waking up suddenly, so there will always be someone around her who is serving her. Because of this habit, she woke up immediately after the initial movement.

I thought it would be just a small thing, but I didn't expect that the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations. Fortunately, the palace maid beside her reacted in time and took her to hide here, otherwise she would have been caught by those thieves now.

didn't speak, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't think of why there was such an interception and killing this time, according to reason, in the territory of Sili, there should be no thieves. What's even more coincidental is that the timing of the thief's appearance will be when she is heading towards the river, and the idea will be hit on her head.

Empress Dowager Dong has not yet reached the point where her eyes are dizzy, her eyes can't see clearly, and her head can't figure it out, for her, all this seems to have only one good answer. These thieves, not real thieves, are most likely the army!

Otherwise, how could an ordinary thief defeat those soldiers sent to protect her so easily, or so fast! The more she thought about it, the only conclusion she had to come to in the end was all this, in fact, it was all He's poisonous plan.

Otherwise, why would she go back to the river? This was not all Ho's means, so she had to go back to the river and could not continue to stay in the palace. And because he went back to the river, he was attacked by thieves on the way, so that now the future is bleak, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.

What to do?

Rao is the Empress Dowager Dong used to be the mother of a country, and now she is still the empress dowager with a noble status, and she has seen many storms and waves in the court, and I don't know how many battles there have been. But now, she has nothing to do.

In the courtyard of the pavilion, all the palace maids were gathered here, under the strict supervision of the surrounding cavalry. None of the palace maids could escape the gaze of the cavalry next to them, nor could they make any small movements, and the surrounding cavalry could completely suppress them when they found that the palace maids were moving.

Hua Xiong sat on the back of the war horse, the quiver on his back was empty, and every arrow he had just shot took the life of a soldier in the pavilion. In the back, he simply waited directly, waiting for these cavalry under his command to handle all the things, he didn't think that the cavalry under his command had any reason to deal with it well.

People should have all been killed, those who had nothing to do with it, etc. The only thing left is the most crucial thing for him to do when he comes here this time.

Compared with finding the Empress Dowager Dong, other things are much smaller. It's the same with killing, no matter how many people you kill, there is no way to compare with the Empress Dowager Dong, Li Ru told him in person, the value of the Empress Dowager Dong is much higher than that of thousands of troops.

Looking at the palace maids who were concentrated, Hua Xiong's gaze slowly swept over the faces of each palace maid, and all that came into his eyes were young and beautiful girls. In Liangzhou, such a girl is rare, and her skin is so watery, full of youthful vitality.

Liangzhou is windy and sandy, coupled with environmental reasons, the girl's appearance will be relatively poor.

Beautiful, that's all. Hua Xiong didn't have any extra thoughts, he was looking for it, looking for any trace of the Empress Dowager Dong.

He hadn't seen the Empress Dowager Dong, but that didn't prevent him from finding him. All the palace maids present were young, and they only needed to find an old woman inside, and Hua Xiong didn't think he would be blind.

"No?" After Hua Xiong looked at it, he muttered to himself.

"How could it not be?" He still didn't believe it, but what he saw and saw was the traces of those young palace maids, the gray-haired old women who were completely every day.

The palace maids in the courtyard were nervous, especially when some people raised their heads and came into contact with Hua Xiong's gaze, the uneasiness gradually expanded. Hua Xiong was obviously the leader of the thieves in their eyes, and now looking at them like this, he didn't know what he was doing, how could he not make people frightened?

Hua Xiong's brows furrowed even deeper, he didn't believe that Empress Dowager Dong would suddenly disappear and disappear into the post house. The intelligence is not wrong, including what he sees now, these palace maids, those soldiers just now, and the eunuchs who were killed, all show that this is indeed the place where the Empress Dowager Dong stays.

"Is everyone here?" Hua Xiong asked the cavalry next to him, he had to make sure that everyone had been found and the women had been brought to him.

"It should all be here." The cavalry originally wanted to say that everyone was here, but after thinking about it, seeing Hua Xiong's deteriorating face, he still didn't dare to pack the ticket.

"Should? Hum. Hua Xiong sneered, "Keep looking for me, and you must find out the Queen Mother for me!" ”

The cavalryman's body trembled, and he could hear the intense anger in Hua Xiong's words.

"Yes!" The cavalry quickly answered, jumped off the back of the warhorse, and led the others to run towards the rooms of the pavilion.

He didn't dare to stay here any longer, in case he waited for Hua Xiong to get angry, he would be the first to bear the brunt.

Hua Xiong got off his horse and approached the palace maids.

As Hua Xiong approached, there was some commotion among the palace maids, and some palace maids were already watery in their eyes, and tears were about to burst out of their eyes at any time.

"Do any of you know the whereabouts of the Queen Mother?" Hua Xiong asked.

After saying that, he saw that no one from the palace maids answered, and the panic on his face became even heavier, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He tried his best to make his tone softer and no longer so loud, and asked again: "Do any of you know the whereabouts of the Queen Mother?" If anyone knows, then I'll let her go. ”

This time, Hua Xiong obviously saw that the eyes of some of the palace maids lit up, and they dimmed at a speed of 4.

"I don't know, we don't know anything." A palace maid replied in a low voice, and every time she said a word, she would look at Hua Xiong once, and then her head quickly drooped.

If a man says that he doesn't know anything, he is dead, and if he were a woman, it would be the same fate. The reason why Hua Xiong didn't do it was because of the state of these palace maids, and the panic they showed was not at all like lying.

Chances are, they don't know anything.

But more likely, someone in this knows something, but she didn't say.

Hua Xiong walked towards a palace maid and stood in front of her, looking at her condescendingly.

If he couldn't find the Empress Dowager Dong, then he wouldn't let go of any of these palace maids here.
