Chapter 824: Name Change
This pair of "Xie" brothers are the King of Min and King Lu who escaped death.
On that day, the two resolutely drank the poisoned wine, and then closed their eyes in severe pain, thinking that they would go to Huangquan.
Unexpectedly, the two of them soon opened their eyes again.
The moment they saw each other, the two were shocked and speechless for a long time.
"Second brother, where are we?" King Min opened his mouth blankly: "Could it be that our brothers are on the road hand in hand, this is the underground of Huangquan?" ”
King Lu was also at a loss: "No, I know." ”
This is certainly not Huangquan.
Both of them were changed and were now in the carriage. There were only two of them in the carriage.
King Lu of Min was weak and unable to move. But ears can hear, eyes can see. Outside the carriage was the familiar sound of wind and horses' hooves, and as far as the eye could see, what was seen was the most ordinary carriage.
But for the two of them, this "normal" is too abnormal.
Didn't they die with poisoned wine? Why is it in a carriage? Where is this carriage going to send them? All kinds of signs point to an incredible speculation.
After a long time, King Min said in a low voice: "The seventh brother let the two of us live." ”
King Lu's expression was complicated, and he snorted.
"The fourth brother is really dead." King Min's thoughts gradually cleared: "He is the mastermind, and the seventh brother has always been hostile to him. So he didn't let him go. The two of us have never had any grudges with the seventh brother. Therefore, the seventh brother couldn't bear to kill us! ”
King Lu was silent for a moment before he said, "I, not enough, seventh brother." ”
If it were me, I would never be kind if I had such a bright opportunity.
King Min pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "If it were me, I would never take such a risk." ”
To send them out of Beijing under the noses of Empress Dowager Yu and the courtiers, I don't know how much effort it will take. Sheng Hong was by no means a spur of the moment, and he must have been secretly planning for a long time.
Letting them go is not half beneficial to Sheng Hong. Instead, you have to take a lot of risks. Once this matter is leaked in the future, for the newly enthroned Son of Heaven, it will be a ready-made handle to fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Yu.
If it were him, how could he do such a thankless job?
Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots and cutting off all the signs of danger is what the descendants of the Sheng family should do. Sheng Hong is also too soft-hearted......
King Min thought, and there were two more touches of coolness on his face. When he turned his head to look, he saw that King Lu was also full of tears.
The taste of escaping death is not in it, and you can't experience it at all.
……
After the carriage left the capital, it did not stop day and night.
King Lu and King Min were poured with soft tendons and could only lie down or sit. Because of the hurry, the only food I can eat every day is hot water and steamed buns.
However, at such a critical juncture of escape, it is fortunate to have food for the stomach. The two of them have no intention and will not find fault with these.
The two were mostly silent for a long time, and occasionally talked to each other.
"There are more than a dozen guards outside the carriage."
"There are a lot of people, and they are eye-catching."
"Well, the seventh brother is careful and cautious."
"Where is he going, us?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's to send us to Shudi, which is the territory of the seventh brother. And there are many mountains and forests. If we are placed in that inaccessible place in the deep mountains and old forests, no one will notice. ”
"That's fine."
Unexpectedly, the two were not sent to Shudi, but to Fujian.
The young guard who accompanied the two along the way was Zhou Quan's cousin Zhou Lang. Such confidential matters, Sheng Hong has to hand over to his confidants.
Zhou Lang sent King Min of Lu to a mansion, gave the two of them the antidote to house arrest, and then presented a letter written by the new emperor himself.
After King Lu and King Min bathed and changed clothes to fill the Son of Heaven, they read the letter together under the candlelight.
"Second brother, fifth brother."
"When you see this letter, you have already arrived in Fujian."
"It is said that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, and there are no siblings in the heavenly family. You murdered the third brother together, and I have to personally carry the poisoned wine and send you on the road with my own eyes. I don't want to think about it again in my life. ”
"I won't kill you, I'll do my best to save the lives of my two brothers. I also hope that the two brothers will live up to my good intentions. From now on, change your name and surname, and go to sea to find another way. ”
"There are many islands overseas, and there are many barbarians. After you go, choose a suitable island to stay. The goods you bring with you can be sold at a high price on overseas islands. Two of them contain silver and gold, enough for you to settle in. ”
"Our brothers, we will never see each other again in this life. However, I still hope that you will live safely in a distant land. ”
……
After reading the letter, the two brothers cried again.
Sheng Hong has done this for them, they don't appreciate it anymore, and they are in vain!
Therefore, even if they complained about the family names like Xie Er and Xie Wu, the two of them still silently obeyed Sheng Hong's arrangement. After that, the two brothers recuperated for a few days, and then showed themselves as Xie Er's son, Xie Wugongzi.
Zhou Lang left more than a dozen guards for them and returned to Beijing to resume his life.
They boarded the ship with dozens of boxes of porcelain, two boxes of gold and silver, and more than a dozen guards.
On five huge ships, there were dozens of merchants. The people on board the sea are complex and do not know each other. They were in the middle of it, and it was quite a bit of a stinging eye.
However, the two vomited for several days in a row, and the bearing of the famous and noble son was almost completely vomited. While it provoked everyone's ridicule, it was not so eye-catching.
At this time, the king of Min opened his mouth to laugh at himself, saying that he was like a pickle soaked in a jar.
King Lu felt that this metaphor was vivid, and couldn't help laughing.
The two brothers smiled bitterly, and after a while, they felt their stomachs churn again, and each retched a few times. My stomach was already empty, and I couldn't vomit anything if I wanted to.
"That's all for a pregnant woman." King Min couldn't help laughing at himself: "When Xiaoxiao was pregnant, she always had to vomit a few times a day. I still laugh at her from time to time, she is alive and well, and she becomes delicate when she is pregnant. Now, I'm not even as good as Xiaoxiao back then. ”
King Lu couldn't help but miss Zhao Changqing's appearance when she was pregnant. In contrast, he seems to be more miserable now.
When I think of my wife, I feel a strong sourness in my heart.
They faked their deaths and hidden, and Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao didn't know about it at all. For them, their husbands are really dead...... How to calm the pain of bereavement?
The corners of King Lu's eyes were dry, and he didn't want to cry weakly anymore, so he cheered up and turned his head.
But seeing King Min burst into tears, he whispered while crying: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry for you." Forget me in this life! Stop worrying about me as a bastard husband. Xiaoxiao, you live well......"
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
King Lu's nose was sour, and hot tears slipped down his face.
