The wind rose again, and the dark clouds in the sky gathered densely in Liangzhou City, and the clouds seemed to sink down layer upon layer. The roaring thunder suddenly exploded, as if to warn the world of the approaching storm. Not a drop of rain had fallen, and the dark clouds were gathering more and more, and the gusts of wind blowing through the hall were biting cold. At such a time, a solemn army surrounded a house, which was covered with several layers inside and out, as if not even a single mosquito was willing to let it out.

The door was still closed, and the man in armor sitting on the red horse didn't say a word, but the sarcasm in his eyes reduced the solemn aura that emanated from his body a little. The man didn't say a word, and with a light gesture, a few small soldiers wanted to open the closed vermilion door. Just as the creeps passed, the door was gently opened from the inside.

A housekeeper stood at the door alone, bowed to the man neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said in a calm tone: "General Lu, please inside, the prince is waiting for you in the courtyard." ”

The man squinted at the lonely butler with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. After a while, he rode into the house with his head tilted back and rode haughtily. The butler didn't say much, lowered his head but had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and followed the man into the house.

Two chairs were moved from the courtyard, one empty and the other sat the owner of the mansion. The man didn't move, didn't look at the man who rode into the mansion, just quietly savored the tea in the cup. It seems that the cup of fragrant tea has a special charm, and the tea in the teacup has not been tasted after a stick of incense.

General Lu, who was on the horse, arrogantly looked down at the man sitting on the chair from his horse, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Seventh Prince is so interested, he still has the leisure to drink tea when he is dying." ”

The Seventh Prince, who was sipping the tea, finally put down the teacup, smiled and raised his eyes to look at General Lu, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "General Lu, don't come unharmed." What are you doing right away, let's taste this newly arrived West Lake Longjing. ”

General Lu suddenly burst out laughing, and after laughing, he got off his horse neatly and sat down next to the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince just quietly, washing the cup with his hand and changing the cup, poured a cup of tea for General Lu himself, "General Lu, please." ”

General Lu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked at the Seventh Prince with an unchanged expression.

The Seventh Prince was still quiet, chuckling, "Why don't you drink it?" This tea was brewed with the first drop of condensation on the chrysanthemums in the yard this morning. There seemed to be a slight mockery in his tone, almost inaudible.

General Lu put the tea on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, then exclaimed: "Good tea!" "I praised this tea before tasting it, which also highlights that the quality of the tea is indeed of the highest quality. After speaking, General Lu drank the tea without raising his eyelids, "Lu is really a blessing, I can still let the prince pour tea for me in this life." As soon as the words fell, he put the long sword tied around his waist on the shoulders of the Seventh Prince.

"Catch the thief!" General Lu's voice fell, and the soldiers outside the door swarmed into the Qi Palace. At this time, the tranquility of the Seven Kings' Mansion was finally broken, and the soldiers tore the clothes of the maids and stabbed them into their bodies with spears in their hands. The cries and shouts of men and women were chaotic, and it was not known who had knocked down the candle flame, and the fire in the house began to grow stronger and stronger.

At this time, the Seventh Prince was still holding the teacup in his hand, but the hand holding the teacup tightly betrayed his emotions. He looked at General Lu, his eyes were full of anger, unwillingness, and some obscure emotions, but he didn't say a word.

General Lu finally couldn't help but be angry at this time, "The Seventh Prince really doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin." Is there anything else you would like to say to the emperor? ”

The Seventh Prince calmed down his emotions and smiled sadly, "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes?" When he had finished speaking, he stopped speaking, as if waiting for death to come.

General Lu was silent for a while and said, "Ji Ji, this is all your own doing. ”

At this time, a small soldier ran over and whispered a few words to General Lu, and after hearing General Lu, he angrily threw the teacup on the ground and said, "The seventh prince is delusional to delay time to let the princess escape with the prince and the county lord, is it too delusional?" Search for me! To live to see people, to die to see corpses. They must not be allowed to escape! ”

The soldier saluted respectfully and replied, "Follow the general's orders." After receiving the order, the little soldier began to take some soldiers to search for the princess and the two children.

Watching the departure of the little soldiers, it seemed that General Lu had also lost the patience he had always maintained, and finally cut the long sword in his hand through the neck of the Seventh Prince. The sword seemed to be very sharp, and the Seventh Prince's head was cut off without suffering too much, but the eyes still had that sad and angry look, but there was no trace of luster.

General Lu put the head in the box and rode in the direction of the palace. And the remaining adjutant is waiting for the results of the search, counting the heads. Countless shiny places in the sky, caused by thunder and lightning. The silver serpent danced, the thunder roared, and finally the storm had begun to come. Large raindrops fell from the sky, as if washing away the grievances of the Seven Kings' Mansion. As the rain continued to increase, the blood and rain in the yard mixed together to form a pool of blood.

On the other side, a woman with messy hair ran wildly in the bamboo forest with two children, a man and a woman. As the rain intensified, the soil became moist and soft. The woman and two children were running in the dense bamboo forest with muddy feet. The woman who shuttled through the bamboo forest protected the children to escape, but because of the sharpness of the bamboo leaves, the woman's body had been marked with blood. The woman's blood had begun to seep out of her clothes, which had been wet from the rain, and had begun to stain them in large patches. The little girl exclaimed, "Mother! You're bleeding! ”

The woman didn't care about it, so she could only take the two children to the depths of the bamboo forest in a panic and continue to escape. "Yan'er, Qin'er, don't be afraid, my mother is fine. Come on! ”

At this time, the little boy seemed to be physically exhausted, and gradually he could not run, and the rain soaked his clothes, and his steps became even heavier. So they stopped. "Mother...... Mother...... I run...... I can't run anymore. The woman glanced at the little boy and the little girl distressedly, but she was afraid that the pursuers behind her would catch up, so she still pulled the two children and continued to run.

"Stop!" A soldier chased after him and stabbed the spear in his hand into the woman's waist from behind, and the blood on the woman's body quickly dispersed, and she looked like a bloody person at this moment. The woman smiled sadly at the two children: "Yan'er, Qin'er, run!" Take the jade pendant and return to her mother's hometown...... Good ...... Live well! As the words fell, she pushed the two children forward and stuffed the jade pendant into the hands of the older girl: "Qin'er...... Take good care of your brother. Mother wants to ...... I am leaving you. With red eyes, she let her child go, lunged forward, pulled the spear out of her body, removed the hairpin from her head, turned and plunged the hairpin into the soldier's heart, biting down on the soldier's neck. When she had done this, it was as if she had lost all her strength and fell down like a piece of paper.

The two little children had never seen such a scene before, and they both stood in place. Suddenly, the shouts of the pursuers behind came, and they had just recovered from the shocking scene they had just seen. The little boy watched his mother collapse silently to the ground, his eyes unable to close because of anger and hatred and a hint of worry. Crying loudly: "Mother! Mother! ”

The little girl's tears continued to overflow from her eyes, and because the rain was so strong, the rain dripping on her face and tears were mixed together, but she couldn't cry out. The soldiers, who were a little farther away, heard the cries of the children and shouted: "They are over here!" ”

The girl couldn't bear to leave, but she was afraid that she and her brother would also become ghosts under the knife, and she couldn't clear her father's grievances, and she knew that she couldn't let her father and mother turn a blind eye. I had to quickly cover my brother's mouth and pull my brother to continue to escape deeper into the bamboo forest.

The little girl and the little boy kept running, and when they came to the side of a river, there was no way to run. The pursuers behind also caught up, and the little girl pulled her younger brother and stood on the stone and slowly retreated, looking at the group of soldiers in despair. Unexpectedly, the younger brother's feet slipped and fell into the river, because they held each other's hands, and the little girl ran for a long time and was physically exhausted. also fell into the river with his younger brother.

The soldiers looked where they had fallen, but saw no sign of them. The rain is still falling, and the river is getting turbulent because of the torrential rain.

Yes, with such a heavy rain and such a turbulent river, two children must have no way to survive if they fall. After pondering by the river for a while, the adjutant decided that the two children would not survive, and planned to abandon the search and return to the general's palace.
