Sister-in-law Li rushed back to the village by the small road, and began to gather the villagers from house to house. Everyone came to take the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, and Sister-in-law Li wiped her tears and looked at Dark One and Yuening. "I ...... When I was returning to the village with my father-in-law today, I met a group of officers and soldiers, probably coming towards Yueyi and Ning'er. ”

When everyone heard this, they whispered, and some men in the village stood up and shouted: "Let's hide Brother Yue!" ”

Sister-in-law Li shook her head, choked up and said, "My men are afraid that when the officers and soldiers come to the village, the secrets of our village will be revealed...... Tell me to come back alone, he, he's afraid it's ......"

When everyone heard this, the crowd suddenly fell silent. As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly stood up, "At this time, it is up to the two of us, sister-in-law, you and the eldest brother are not for me and Ning'er, and it will not be like this, you quickly find a place to hide, and I will save Brother Li back!" After saying that, he performed light skills and disappeared outside the village.

At this time, the people in the village suddenly lost their sense of proportion, and gradually panicked, the most respected person in the village was Granny Guo, she helped Yuening to stand up, and said loudly: "The woods at the entrance of the village are arranged according to the five elements of gossip, if the officers and soldiers come, they can still support for some time, let's quickly pack up and hide in the back mountain!" ”

The villagers all took action, Sister-in-law Li couldn't support it anymore, her eyes were empty and she looked outside the village without saying a word, Yuening walked to Sister-in-law Li with tears in her eyes, and held Sister-in-law Li's hand, "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for me, my eldest brother wouldn't ......"

Sister-in-law Li wiped her tears, touched Yuening's face lovingly, stabilized her mind, suppressed the choking between her words, and said softly: "You have been in this village for some time, and we have long regarded you as our own sister-in-law." If you are a relative, why bother to say these unsightly words. ”

Yuening held Sister-in-law Li's hand tightly, and called out sadly: "Sister-in-law......" Sister-in-law Li rubbed Yuening's head, stood up, and took Yuening home to pack up and prepare to evacuate to the back mountain with the villagers.

Dark One walked all the way, walking towards the main road according to what Sister-in-law Li said, and finally in the opposite direction of the village, he saw the cart that Brother Li had pushed to buy in the morning. There was no one nearby, the officers and soldiers were long gone, he looked at the things on the cart, gently touched the red cloth and the delicate dragon and phoenix candles, and guessed that Brother Li and the team of officers and soldiers had an entanglement in this vicinity, and even the cart was left behind, and he hurriedly ran to the forest.

Dark One ran through the trees, following the footprints on the ground, and saw Brother Li tied to a tree from a distance, his body already stained red with blood on his neck. He hurriedly ran over and found that Brother Li's body was already cold, and the clothes on his body were also searched in a mess, so he hurriedly untied the rope and put Brother Li down.

Brother Li's eyes widened and he lay on the ground full of fallen leaves. This is not the first time that Dark One has faced life and death, but in the past month, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li have treated him like brothers, and even Brother Li's death was caused by him, he smashed his fist on the tree fiercely, and the fallen leaves fell to the ground, and they also covered Brother Li's corpse.

Darkly knelt down, kowtowed to Brother Li a few times, straightened his clothes more neatly, and when he was tidying up his pants, he found that Brother Li was a eunuch! He had long guessed that all the orphans in this village might be orphans of the previous dynasty, and now he was even more sure that Brother Li had this catastrophe for himself and for the sake of the village, and he respected him even more in his heart. He picked up Brother Li's body and ran towards the back hill of the village.

Gonggong An climbed away with the old man on the nearby mountain, and there was still one last cave left, and there was no news of Huizong in the front. He kept praying in his heart that the last cave must find Huizong.

The old man pulled Grandpa An to climb in the mountains, Grandpa An was already tired and out of breath, the old man was still breathing, he pulled Grandpa An, and Grandpa An smiled at him.

"Soon we will be in the cave, if your brother is not there, he may have gone to the capital with the exiles." Grandpa An drank the water in the water bladder, shook his head, and gasped, "No, he...... He certainly wouldn't go to Beijing alone. ”

The old man's eyes flashed slightly, shook the dust off his body, and pulled Grandpa An up. "Let's go, we'll be there soon."

The two finally reached the final cave. Father-in-law An didn't care about the abrasions on his body, and hurriedly walked into the cave, the old man put the grain in the big bucket at the entrance of the cave, and everyone saw that the old man was coming, and they all greeted him. Father-in-law An squeezed out of the crowd, and at a glance saw a man curled up in a pile of torn clothes in the innermost part of the cave, he hurriedly stepped forward and turned the man over, but the man covered his face with his clothes again, and Father-in-law An called softly: "Master?" ”

The man's body shook, he suddenly turned around and sat up, looked at Grandpa An's fallen cheeks, and said softly in a hoarse voice: "You ......" and couldn't speak anymore.

At this time, Huizong's clothes were in tatters, his face was covered with dust, his beard was long, and his hair was knotted because he had not been taken care of for a long time. Gonggong An hurriedly handed him two slightly better white-flour steamed buns, only to see him gobble down the steamed buns. At this time, those homeless people were all eaten and shrunk in the cave, and the old man came over, saw that Father-in-law An gave Huizong a little bit of a haircut, and then asked, "But have you found your brother?" ”

Father-in-law An nodded hurriedly, "Uncle Lao, this is my brother, we are going to leave today to find relatives at home." The old man nodded, looked at Huizong, and saw Huizong sitting precariously, waiting for Gonggong An to take care of him with his eyes closed, so he said to him, "This brother of your family, I have searched all the caves near here in order to find you." ”

Huizong opened his eyes, looked at the old man, and did not answer, stood up, shook the dust of his clothes, and walked out of the cave. Father-in-law An thanked the old man and hurriedly followed.

Gonggong An helped Huizong to walk down the mountain, and neither of them spoke. Huizong suddenly stopped and looked at Grandpa An. "When did you come out of the capital to look for me?"

Gonggong An hurriedly knelt down, bowed to Huizong, and choked with tears: "Long live Lord, the slave has finally found you, slave...... The slave heard that the long-lived lord was lost in Beijing, and he was anxious, and those old ministers all let King Ning ascend the throne, I saw that the situation in Beijing was complicated, and I didn't dare to stay for a long time, and I didn't dare to tell others, so I went on the road alone to find you......"

Huizong looked at him and said lightly: "This journey has also suffered you." ”

Gonggong An hurriedly shook his head and kowtowed to the ground a few times, "Long live the master, the slave is dull, in the situation in Beijing, the slave can't trust others, the slave, the slave was sent to the palace by his father and mother at the age of four, and was sent to the long live by the emperor at the age of six to serve, the slave, the slave doesn't know how to live without you...... They all thought that Long Live Lord you had gone, but the slave knew that Long Live Lord would definitely live! ”

Huizong saw that his words were sincere, and said, "How do you know?" ”

"Long live Lord, the slave has served you for ten years, and you are the only one in the slave on weekdays for the past ten years, the slave thinks, if you really go, the slave can't live alone, go down with you, and then be a master and servant underground!"

"That old man is right, I have suffered you all the way, and when I go back to Beijing, I will definitely reward you."

Gonggong An shook his head, "The slave just did his duty, the master of the slave said that the slave died for the master, which is the greatest glory!" ”

Huizong stood up, stopped talking, and helped Gonggong An to continue walking down the mountain.

In the Taishou Mansion, Chen Bozhan sat in the front hall for dinner. The old man who followed Father-in-law An looking for Huizong walked into the hall, the old man sat on the chair, picked up the wine on the table and moistened his hands, and rubbed his neck with his wet hands, and suddenly dragged it, and his face was covered with a human skin mask! This person turned out to be the young man with a jade pendant in the ruined temple that day! With a somewhat cynical smile on his face, he looked at Chen Bozhan and picked up the wine glass on the small table, "You, do you remember me?" After speaking, he sat at the table with a big grin, picked up Chen Bozhan's wine glass and took a sip, "Well, the best bamboo leaves, drink this good wine, how can you do it without some side dishes?" After speaking, he put down the wine glass and looked at Chen Bozhan with a little deep meaning, Chen Bozhan's little guy was stunned, and when he saw Chen Bozhan wanting him to go down, he said yes and left the house.

The room fell silent, and even the sound of their breathing could be heard clearly. Chen Bozhan sat and played with his wine glass, watching the young man opposite from the beginning of his face to the restlessness in the back, he sneered in his heart, but he remained silent. Finally, the young man couldn't help but speak, "General Chen, if it weren't for ......" Before he finished speaking, the wine glass that Chen Bozhan was playing with rolled off the table to the ground and shattered at once.

"What does the second son of Shang have to say?" Chen Bozhan raised his head slowly, with a sneering smile on his face, which suddenly blocked the young man into a little speechless.

"Chen Bozhan, if I hadn't told you the news of the Holy Heaven, how could I have this celebration wine today!" The young man snorted coldly, and after speaking, he looked at Chen Bozhan with a somewhat provocative face.

"Then I'll thank the second son, son, please." After speaking, Chen Bozhan spread his hands and pointed to the door, the young man's breath was stagnant, and he looked at Chen Bozhan in disbelief, "Don't you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”

"On that day, the saint was so depressed and hidden in the panic temple, competing with the beggars for food, but you saw it, the sacred heart is unpredictable, do you understand this truth?"

Although the young man is not deeply involved in the world, because he is the son of a family, he understands the deep meaning of some words without words, his face becomes difficult to see, and his voice unconsciously carries a bit of flattery: "But I am also his savior after all......

"Benefactor?" Chen Bozhan sneered, "This benefactor of the Son of Heaven is not so easy to be!" After speaking, he stood up and walked around behind the young man, "The benefactor of the Son of Heaven, if he didn't know that the little beggar who helped him grab food that day was the son of the Shang family pretending, and the Shang family has been an official for generations, and the second room has been doing business all year round, although it is not as famous as my Chen family or Qiancheng Villa, but it is also worry-free, and when the old general Shang is eighty years old, the saint even came to the Shang Mansion to congratulate him on his birthday, although you are the son of the second room, but you have also seen the saint ...... from afar" Before the words were spoken, I saw that the young man's face was pale, and his originally straight waist suddenly softened, Chen Bozhan was like a ghost again, lowered his head and sighed softly in his ear: "This benefactor, do you deserve it?" ”

The boy slipped off the chair and sat on the ground, at this time the little maid entered the house with a few small dishes, and just saw the young man sitting on the ground with a panicked look, and hurriedly put the wine and food on the table and helped the young man up. And the young man no longer dared to look directly at Chen Bozhan, just sat on half a chair tremblingly, rubbing his hands uneasily, Chen Bozhan sat down calmly, picked up the wine jug that the little girl had brought in and put it in warm water and scalded it carefully, and did not look at the young man. After a while, Chen Bozhan scalded the wine, poured a glass and drank it all, and when the young man saw this, he hurriedly filled the wine glass again. Chen Bozhan nodded with satisfaction, but the young man's hand pouring wine suddenly stagnated, the young man sneered, and stood up, "I'm afraid that the general has long known the news of the saint, since I found the saint so easily, why did the general search for so many days but still can't find it?" ”

"You're very clever...... Chen Bozhan smiled.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sue the Holy One?"

"I'm afraid you won't have this chance." After that, the young man only felt a slight pain in his neck, and then lost consciousness, and the whole person was paralyzed, and his face flushed, "Tell the old bustard, find a few girls to serve our Shang Gongzi well!" ”

The little guy hurriedly dragged the boy down. Chen Bozhan picked up the wine glass on the table, poured it down happily, grinned, and smiled, "Who dares to be the emperor's benefactor?" You guys, all go and save the emperor, he is a person with such a high heart, and now he has a down-and-out appearance for you to see......" After speaking, as soon as his hand was forced, the wine glass instantly turned into powder.
