Looking at the appearance of several women looking at death as home, Du San felt anxious for a while. Of course, he understood the thoughts of these women, and from his traditional ideology, he even felt that the old lady could only embody the demeanor of the general's wife by doing so.

But emotionally, he really couldn't bear to leave them like this.

……

Two months ago, a sudden mutiny almost caused a catastrophe to the Great Jin Kingdom, and after the incident subsided, it was found that someone was greedy for military salaries to trigger this mutiny. And the spearhead of all the investigation results was finally pointed at the general Meng Changsheng.

The official in charge of the investigation sent the book to the capital, and the emperor was furious when he saw Long Yan, and immediately ordered Meng Changsheng to be removed from his military post and put him in prison.

After Meng Changsheng was imprisoned, almost the entire military camp participated in the joint petition to avenge Meng Changsheng's grievances.

As for whether the emperor has read the joint letter of these soldiers and no one knows, but not long after the joint letter was sent, the emperor issued an edict, directly declaring that Meng Changsheng's crime was unforgivable, and ordered to raid the house, no matter how big or small, all the men were beheaded, and all the women were imprisoned and waiting to be released.

said that they were waiting for the fate, but in fact, their fate had already been determined, and they were nothing more than sent to Lefang and reduced to official prostitutes.

It's just that before the later procedures were completed, Beiyi, who had been suppressed by Meng Changsheng before, couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack on the Great Jin Kingdom

The Beiyi people live in the bitter cold land all the year round, and they are brave by nature, fierce and aggressive, and their soldiers are extremely strong in combat.

On the side of the Great Jin Dynasty, because Meng Changsheng was unjustly killed, many of the officers and soldiers in the army were disheartened and had no intention of fighting, so the two armies fought, and the Great Jin side was almost collapsed at the touch of a button. Beiyi took advantage of the victory to pursue, attacking the city and plundering the land all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

However, the bad news is far more than that, and several small affiliated countries around them saw that the Great Jin Kingdom suddenly became so weak and weak, and a large area of the land was lost, so they could no longer bear it, and they raised troops one after another and joined the army that carved up the land of the Great Jin.

In less than a month, most of the land of the Great Jin Kingdom was lost.

The emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and heard that the thieves were powerful, and the soldiers were pointing directly at Jiangyang, Kyoto, so he could no longer sit still, and took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military out of Jiangyang overnight, and went straight to Sucheng, the rear of the Jin Kingdom.

Externally, they claimed that they were going to hunt for caracals.

Meng Changsheng's family members were also thrown in the prison because of this, and no one cared about it.

Meng Changsheng's wife Li thought that the Meng family was full of martyrs, and finally ended up like this, she held her anger in her heart, and felt that it was really insulting to the innocence of the Meng family to go out like this.

Du San was originally a personal guard by Meng Changsheng's side, and after Meng Changsheng was imprisoned, he was always very anxious in his heart, but others spoke softly, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't help much. But he has followed Meng Changsheng for many years, but he can see the situation of the battle situation very clearly.

When the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty abandoned Jiangyang with hundreds of civil and military officials, he thought that there would be today. So he lurked in the capital and waited quietly.

At this moment, these women swore to defend the innocence of the Meng family and were unwilling to leave, although Du San admired such a practice conceptually, but intuitively, this young man who had experienced life and death on the battlefield felt that the reason for living could overshadow everything.

So he hurriedly said: "Madam, the emperor has already left, they have long forgotten about you, let's go." ”

The old woman shook her head firmly: "It doesn't matter if the emperor forgets us or not, but the integrity of our Meng family must not be lost." ”

Du Sanyi was speechless, he didn't have much ink in his belly, compared with this famous general, he could think of very few words, but he still didn't want to give up, and said: "But now that the city gate has been broken and the soldiers have entered the city, you stay here and wait for death, and maybe you ...... and humiliation. ”

These words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head, but the faces of the women still did not loosen in the slightest.

The old woman looked down at the girl who was leaning on her arms, and by the light of the fire that came in through the aisle, she could vaguely see the beautiful appearance on the girl's little face, but because she had been in this cell for so long, she had not been properly groomed, and her body and face were covered with some dirt, which covered a lot of her face, like a bright pearl covered with dust.

The old woman's eyes gradually softened when she looked at the girl, but her eyes wandered, as if she was looking at the girl in front of her but thought of someone else in her heart, and only heard her say leisurely: "The emperor is really ruthless, and he didn't leave one for my Meng family even if he was connected to the fire." Although Yun'er is a girl, she is now the only one in my Meng family. ”

As she spoke, she raised her wrinkled hand, stroked the girl's head a few times, and then turned her head to look at Du San, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Du San, you have followed the general for many years, and it is rare that you still remember us lonely widows at this time. Today, I will entrust Yun'er to you, you can take her there. ”

"Grandmother ......"

Meng Shiyun was only thirteen years old, and she was still a child, and she didn't fully understand what the old woman said before, but at this time, she knew that she seemed to be separated from her grandmother and mother, and her heart suddenly felt sad.

The old woman ignored Meng Shiyun, her eyes were still looking at Du San, and she continued: "If you can escape, you can go to her grandmother, if they are afraid of being affected and refuse to take you in, then you have to find a way to live on your own." But there is only one thing, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I hope you don't treat Yun'er harshly, otherwise the old body will be a ghost, and I will never spare you! ”

Du San immediately kowtowed heavily, and said like a nail for the time being: "Madame, don't worry, as long as I Du San is here, I will never let Miss suffer the slightest grievance!" ”

"That's good." The old woman nodded and said, "Then you can go." This is a girl raised in the boudoir of our Meng family, and she has never been touched by the wind and rain, so you have to bear more. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed Meng Shiyun, indicating that she would go to Shanmu's side.

Meng Shiyun called out to her grandmother, and her voice was already a little crying.

As the daughter of the Meng family, she has been pampered since she was a child, like a flower in the warmth, beautiful and delicate, but she has never experienced the slightest wind and rain, and the sudden great changes in the family have made her heart almost collapse. For more than a month in this prison, she felt like she was in a demon cave, thinking about leaving here all the time. But at this time, she suddenly wanted to be separated from these remaining relatives, and she was unwilling to go with a strange man.

The face of the old woman, who was originally full of love, suddenly sank, and the momentum of the housewife suddenly appeared: "Don't cry!" ”

Meng Shiyun was really frightened, biting her lower lip lightly, trying her best to hold back the cry, but her body trembled slightly.

She looked at her mother and aunt on the side, and by the dim light of the fire in the aisle, she could faintly see that her mother and aunt's eyes were also faintly flashing tears.

"Go ahead." Her mother calmly comforted her.

Meng Shiyun looked at the indifferent expressions of several women, and suddenly had a feeling of life and death, and couldn't hold back the grief in her heart anymore, and cried out: "Grandmother, mother, aunt, let's go together......" As she spoke, she also knelt on the ground.

Du San also hurriedly echoed: "Madam, you better go with me!" ”

Several women immediately shook their heads, and the old woman said, "You don't need to say more, let's go, it's too late." ”

Seeing that they were resolute-willed, Du San knew that it would be useless to persuade them any longer, so he kowtowed to them a few times, then took Meng Shiyun's hand and stood up decisively: "Let's go." ”

Meng Shiyun was reluctant in her heart, and was pulled forward by Shanmu, while crying and turning back. It's just that her body is weak, and she is pulled by Du San, who has a lot of strength, so she can only follow involuntarily

The two of them left the prison, and at this time, the entire Jiangyang City had fallen into a panic, and the cries of escape and the sky-high flames in the direction of Xicheng filled the entire night sky. Meng Shiyun was still crying and shouting for her grandmother, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and her crying was a little quieter.

And when she saw several corpses lying in the door of the prison, she was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly reached out to cover her small mouth, her eyes full of fear.

Seeing that she was scared like this, Du San hurriedly comforted: "Miss, don't be afraid, let's go this way." The two walked past the corpse and soon came to the street, but at this moment, in a casual turn around, Meng Shiyun suddenly saw a thick smoke rising from the prison, and the raging flames flickered in the smoke, and the location where the smoke rose was where cell A was located.

Meng Shiyun suddenly understood what had happened, and for a moment she felt that her liver and gallbladder were broken, and she couldn't help herself, and the tears she had just held back dripped down like beads again, crying "Grandmother, mother" knelt on the snow.

Du San's heart was like a knife, he immediately knelt on the snow, kowtowed a few times to the place where the fire rushed up, then stood up and pulled Meng Shiyun: "Miss, let's go quickly." ”

Meng Shiyun was heartbroken at this time, slumped on the snow and almost lost her mobility, blindly crying.

Du San pulled a few times but couldn't pull her at all, he couldn't help but be very anxious, in a hurry, he turned his heart sideways and said, "Miss, offended." With that, he picked her up by the waist, carried her on his shoulders, and turned to run along the street in the direction of Nancheng.
