Chapter 348: The Matter of Yan Liu

"According to what the concubine saw, the county lord is already old now, and she has her own sense of proportion in what she does, if there is anything, we might as well explain it to the county lord in one go, and save the county lord from committing it again in the future. Even if the Duchess heard about it, she would only be grateful for the queen's teaching, and naturally, the palace also had some words that she wanted to explain to the county lord alone. ”

The voice landed, and he didn't hear anything wrong with it in front of him? Only this last sentence made him tremble.

The queen listened, this time it was rare to stand on the same line as Concubine Xian, she lowered her eyes, shivered coldly, and glanced at Zhou Hongyan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Concubine Xian's words are not bad, she can't help but call Zhang Yuge, Mrs. Xiao and the princess saw the joke, the county lord should come with the palace."

This trip must be more than auspicious, Zhou Hongyan wailed in her heart, but the came to call her, and she didn't dare not listen. Fortunately, today's farce, because of the queen's intervention, can be regarded as a perfect end.

Watching the queen and their figures gradually walk away, Xu Ruru and Su Jiao both let out a long breath.

"It scared me, I didn't expect the queen mother and the virtuous concubine to come over at this time, so that they could see Zhou Hongyan's true face clearly."

Xu Ruru quietly patted her chest, Su Jiao wanted to laugh when she watched from the side, and couldn't help but look back at Yuge.

"That's true, fortunately, there is no danger, it's just a song, you seem to know when the queen mother and they came, and I didn't even notice it."

Seeing this, Yuge shook his head lightly with a slight fright on his face. "It should be a coincidence, anyway, if Zhou Hongyan hadn't done a lot of injustice, she wouldn't have been punctured so easily."

"Let's not talk about that, Sister Zhang, I really didn't expect it. I thought you would have some trouble with me because of my third brother's affairs, but I didn't expect you to be willing to speak for me, but it made me look at you with admiration, I didn't expect you to be so angry. ”

Xu Ruru gently pulled Su Jiao, casually threw this talk out of the clouds, opened a pair of watery eyes, and looked at Zhang Yuge with some admiration.

Zhang Yuge was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses, lowered her eyes, and smiled very kindly. "It's nothing, it's just that the road is uneven and pulls out a knife to help, but you and I used to be concubines, and I don't want to see Her Royal Highness the princess and suffer from her idleness."

Seeing this, Su Jiao blinked, and seeing that Zhang Yuge was still as kind and enthusiastic as before, she waved away the strange feeling she had just had, and pulled Xu Ruru and Zhang Yuge's wrists together with a smile.

"Anyway, we are all happy here, I think today's effect is quite good, Concubine Xian, she will definitely come to the banquet, then in the next few days, I am afraid that there will be more trouble for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Naturally, let's wrap it up on this princess." Xu Ruru nodded, and patted her chest proudly, although she didn't know what Su Jiao's intention was to ask for this, but it was better to be able to create some movement than to live a mediocre life all the time.

However, under the mountain range of Yanzhou, that is, the situation on Xiao Huai'an's side, which Su Jiao is most concerned about, is not as easy to solve as in the palace.

Although the rain has been a little light in the past few days, the previous mudslide came so suddenly that many soldiers were still buried under the mud.

Dian Tao was wearing a hat, he didn't even have a coat on his body, he was drenched with cold, he was holding a hoe in his hand, and the muscles of the whole body were tense and straight, and he was on the verge of rage.

And on this dirt slope formed by the landslide, there are many soldiers dressed like him, who are also wielding shovels and hoes and are struggling to rescue.

"Quick! Hurry up, pay attention to safety, we must rescue our brothers as soon as possible, if you haven't arrived in Liuzhou, you will give your life to this ghost place, but it will make people laugh to death, everyone must work hard, we must rescue everyone. ”

Dian Tao roared angrily, and the movements of his subordinates did not stop at all, from the landslide the day before yesterday until now, he had not closed his eyes, and the teams in front and behind the troops did not know how many people were killed.

Fortunately, this is a relatively calm and stable Yanzhou, otherwise if it were a vicious place where other bandits are prevalent, I am afraid that the remaining people may not be able to survive.

He poured the dirt from the road into the bamboo basket he was carrying with a spade, and he almost couldn't stand up because he was so hard that he was just in his early thirties, and today he looked like he was several years old in an instant.

Wei Lu, who joined the army next to him, was a weak scholar, and he could say a few words to Dian Tao on the theory of military training and the art of war on weekdays, but at this time, he could only help shout slogans.

He had been following Dian Tao's side, and he noticed that Dian Tao's feet were staggering, and the whole person was suddenly startled, and hurried to help Dian Tao to the stone on the side, and rested for a while.

"Lord Captain, you better rest first, if you are also tired, how about you tell me to wait?"

Wei Lu is only in his early twenties, and he looks very polite, although Dian Tao is a relatively arrogant personality, but he also appreciates this kind of young and heroic talent, so Su Rili has a good relationship with Wei Lu.

He let out a long sigh and hammered his hand on his knee a few times, but the hoe in his right hand never let go. "I'm old, I haven't traveled far for a long time, and I'm really delicate."

"But Xiaowei, do you know that we can't stop now, the news of our accident in Yanzhou must have been sent to the capital, if you don't hurry up, I don't know what people think of our seventy-two battalions, but fortunately, before leaving, Lord Xiao was very wise to divide into two ways, otherwise I am afraid that the casualties will be more serious."

Hearing this, Wei Lu lowered his eyes, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and when he saw Dian Tao struggling and trying to get up again, he had to sigh and forcibly hold the person down.

"My lord, you better rest for a while, and leave the rest to your subordinates. It's just that the adults just mentioned Lord Xiao, and the adults think that there will be a figure of Lord Xiao in this pile of ruins. ”

"What are you talking about, Lord Xiao is so vigorous when he stretches out his hand, how can he be under this, just take 10,000 steps back and think, if he is really here, we should speed up even more."

Dian Tao frowned when he heard this, he didn't mean to reprimand Wei Lu, but this was also a situation he didn't want to see. Dian Tao was shocked by what he said, and he didn't care about resting, so he snatched the hoe back from Wei Lu's hand and continued to join the fighting soldiers.

The battle on Yanzhou's side is estimated to last for a long time, and there is no news from Liang Xin's side on the other road.

As for Liuzhou, Xu Rulie took Su Lian to live in the city during this time, and from the conversations of passers-by, he heard some news about Xiao Huai'an leading his troops to this side.

However, it is rare that Xu Rulie acted very low-key, and only silently recorded the situation on both sides of Xiao Huai'an and Liuzhou in his heart, but he did not react at all on the surface, and he did not bear to let Su Lian know.

It's just that after waiting for Su Lian's confinement to pass, she has to start thinking about revisiting the old place she still remembers in her memories.

"Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry, you have just come out of confinement, you should be recuperating well, where do you remember, I will go over and run."

Xu Rulie's eyes were full of happiness and concern, and he was concerned about Su Lian, after Su Lian gave birth to a child, it was strange to say, it is estimated that he has untied a knot in his heart, and the whole person's spirit has recovered a lot, and his face has become a lot rounder, and the original melon seed face has also become a standard goose egg face.

"That's not to say, I feel like I've recovered a lot now, and how can I know what this place means to me and my mother if I don't go there myself,"

Su Lian shook her head gently, she was holding Wan'er in her arms, although Xu Rulie was still a little worried, but in fact, the husband and wife had already prepared, and Lu Bai also went to plan the route early and prepare the car.

"Also, I hope Wan'er can understand my past clearly, and not live in the fog all the time like me."

Xu Rulie listened, and didn't want to go against Su Lian's intentions, so he happened to see Lu Bai come back, so he helped Su Lian to get into the carriage together.

The first place in Su Lian's memory was the abandoned well that she first heard about Master Su from her mother Qin Shuihe in her previous memories.

But it is not so easy to find an abandoned well, and now that the whole city of Liuzhou is under martial law, no one is allowed to go out of the city casually, so Lu Bai can only take Xu Rulie and them first, and go to the few abandoned courtyards on the edge of the city.

Su Lian sat in the carriage with her head down, her eyes drooping, and there was a hole in her eyes.

"I remember that my mother was always very gentle, and perhaps it was because of this that so many men fell in love with him. My separation from her was next to that abandoned well, and I didn't even know where my mother ended up dying,"

"But I think if I can identify that place, I may be able to find out who killed my mother in the first place, and what is the relationship with my mother."

Wan'er was wrapped in swaddling clothes and slept very peacefully at this time. Xu Rulie glanced at him, then turned his head and carefully hugged Su Lian in his arms.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way to find out. Don't be sad, what your mother did, you are only you after all. ”

As he spoke, the carriage arrived at the first location that Lu Bai found. Feeling that the carriage had stopped, the two of them came back to their senses, Xu Rulie picked up Wan'er with one hand, and helped Su Lian get out of the car with concern in his eyes.
