Chapter Ninety-Three: A Strange Death
Chu Yue'an's hands had already prepared a few silver needles that were ready to shoot out, and he frowned even deeper: "Do you know my eldest brother?" ”
"Are you Brother Chu's sister?" The bearded man said in surprise.
Chu Yueyun hurriedly said: "She is Chu Yue'an, the second lady of Ninghou Mansion, and I am Chu Yueyun, the fourth lady of Ninghou Mansion, and we are all Chu Qinghua's sister!" ”
"You turned out to be the younger sister of Brother Chu, and it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, don't hide it from the two young ladies, Brother Chu and I met in the barracks, and we are brothers who were born and died together!" The bearded man sighed.
"But why would you now?" Chu Yuean asked puzzled, "But what happened?" ”
"Girl." The bearded man looked at Chu Yue'an and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Chu's death is strange...... I'll make a long story short, at that time, we sent troops to attack the enemy, using deception as bait, but when we lured the enemy to the agreed place, there were no reinforcements, our brothers fought desperately to kill the enemy, and only five of us fought out of the encirclement of thousands of people, poor my Chu brother died without a whole body! The five of us were hunted down and killed before we returned to the barracks, saying that the five of us collaborated with the enemy, the conscience of heaven and earth, this is **naked slander! ”
The man wiped his tears and continued: "God has no eyes, I am the only one of the five of us who escaped from each other's hands, and then I thought about it carefully, our thousand brothers died strangely, since I escaped death, I must have to tell their grievances, I came all the way to the capital, and before I entered the capital, I was almost arrested as a chaotic party, thanks to one of my life and death brothers to report to me, I escaped." I can't enter the capital at all, and if I can't enter the capital, how can I avenge my brothers? ”
"What does this have to do with you being this mountain bandit?" Chu Yue'an asked again.
"I haven't done anything hurtful, I have only robbed past merchants, I have never robbed the common people, and I have not robbed the people's daughters, I just want to be a big vote, take a person with status as a hostage, and let the court send a big official to talk to me, so that I will tell him about the grievances, and he will tell the saint again. Even if the government exterminates us, we have to have someone who can speak, right? I'm a big boss, I don't have any connections, and I don't have any other way! The man sighed and said, "For the sake of my brothers, I can only give up everything!" ”
Chu Yuean frowned and said: "That's the case, I only know that my brother sacrificed his life for the country, but I didn't expect that there would be a deed in this." ”
"Sister, I just saw that you are not surprised, quite the demeanor of Brother Chu, if my goal is not achieved, you must remember to investigate the deaths of my brothers clearly and avenge them!" The bearded man knelt in front of Chu Yue'an, "I beg you." ”
"Since my brother's death is unknown, how can I sit idly by?" Chu Yue'an said, "You must stop being mountain bandits, find a safe place to hide, if you can trust me, leave the rest to me." What do you call this big brother? ”
"My surname is Xia, my name is Xia Hu, and Brother Chu used to call me Brother Xia."
"Brother Xia, by the way, how do you know that there are people in the White Horse Temple today?"
"Someone sent us a message that an important person had come to offer incense today." Xia Hu said, "And also told us that someone would pick us up in the backyard." ”
Sure enough, as I expected, there was an internal response bought by the Jade Concubine in this White Horse Temple.
At this time, a man suddenly broke in and said in surprise: "Oh no, there are all officers and soldiers outside, we are surrounded!" ”
"What!" Xia Hu's eyes rolled, "I'm afraid that we have already set a trap waiting for us!" Brothers, let's rush out later! ”
He glanced at Chu Yue'an and said solemnly: "If I have no way to live today, the rest will be handed over to you, sister, I know that this matter is very important, and it should not be borne by a woman like you, but I have no other way at the moment!" ”
Chu Yue'an nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't let my brother and his brothers die in vain." ”
"Brothers, rush!" Xia Hu raised the big knife in his hand, "Let's fight our way out of the encirclement!" ”
The mountain bandits rushed out with him, and the originally tense courtyard suddenly became deserted, and Chu Yueyun sat on the ground: "They finally left, but they scared me to death." ”
Many of the maids began to cry.
Chu Yuezi looked coldly at the four maids in the room, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, today's events, what you heard tonight, all of them are blocked in your stomach, and no one can say it, do you hear?" ”
Chu Yue'an's expression has always been indifferent and calm, it is rare to see her show such a cold and cold expression, she is wrapped in a layer of murderous aura all over her body, as if she is judging the life and death of people, so that people dare not doubt the truth of her words. Now that today's events have leaked out, they have no doubt that they will be killed.
"Second sister, what the hell is going on?" Chu Yueyun asked.
"I'm afraid that Xia Hu and they have long been targeted by the government, but they haven't done it, and then after Concubine Yu went down the mountain, she revealed the news that we were still here to Xia Hu and them, and as soon as Xia Hu and them made a move, the officers and soldiers were dispatched." Chu Yuean said.
"Concubine Yu wants to kill us, even if we are lucky not to die, if we fall into the hands of the mountain bandits, we will not be able to live well for the rest of our lives." Chu Yueyun felt cold all over her body, "I didn't expect that it was the eldest brother who saved us." ”
After a while, I saw several officers and soldiers with torches running to the courtyard and standing outside the house, and then a majestic man strode in, the man's face was heroic, his eyes were bright, he was wearing a golden crown, wearing a black suit, and staring at a pair of black gold-rimmed cloud-soled boots, like a god of war.
He glanced at all the ladies in the room and asked, "Are you all alright?" ”
Chu Yue was blessed: "Thanks to your timely arrival, we are all fine." ”
"I didn't expect that it was His Royal Highness the King of Jin who brought people to save us." Chu Yueyun also stepped forward to salute, "Today, our sisters are also lucky, there is no danger." ”
It turned out that he was Yuwen Junyi, the king of Jin, the only son of the first queen.
"It's okay for you guys to be fine." King Jin smiled indifferently, "This king was ordered to suppress the bandits, if the mountain bandits disturbed the two young ladies, it would be the king's fault." ”
At this time, an officer and soldier reported outside the door: "Lord Wang, the bandit leader Xia Hu has been killed, and the rest of his life has been captured." ”
"This king still has important things to deal with, I will leave first, the two young ladies can continue to stay here and return to Beijing tomorrow, this king will send someone to guard, you can rest assured." King Jin said, ready to turn around and leave.
Chu Yue'an took two steps forward and asked, "Your Highness, why did the mountain bandits suddenly loot the White Horse Temple?" ”
