In a dwelling on the outskirts of Xizhimen, you can vaguely hear the momentum of the ten thousand armies passing by, and in the courtyard in front of you, there are nearly 20 family members lying horizontally and vertically, all of them are gray-headed and dirty, with hemp rope wrapped around their arms, without gritting their teeth with indignation, and their faces are full of unknown fear.

They are all personal servants in the Huangtao Mansion, and their task is just to take care of the house, but they were subdued by the "strong gangsters".

The only one who survived was of course the Li family, at this time she had just splashed the Jiang family with a scoop of cold water, and out of humanity, she still changed the wet clothes for the Jiang family with the help of several mothers-in-law in the Chu Palace.

Jiang had already been diagnosed with hysteria, and even people couldn't recognize it, so she was lying on the bed and splashing, and she didn't know who she was scolding, and the mother-in-law easily put the dry clothes on her body, and she also received a claw on one face, three long scars, stomped her feet and said: "This can't be done, you have to tie your hands and feet." ”

And Gu Qiuyue and Zhang Minghe were in the courtyard, listening to the words of the prince's own soldiers: "The prince has gone out of the city, he just passed through here earlier, he rushed to the Xishan camp, the city has become a pot of porridge, the eight gates are closed, we can only enter and exit through the Xizhi Gate, Huang Tao has lost, and most of the more than 10,000 soldiers who were brought to the palace have broken bravely, but he got out safely, I don't know where he went...... His subordinates inquired that Huang Kui seemed to be leading troops to attack the Weiguo Mansion, but Su Shizi had already made arrangements, and depending on the situation, it was difficult to succeed for a while. ”

Zhang Minghe had already heard Gu Qiuyue say a rough idea at this time, and analyzed: "Huang Tao must go out of the city to join the Son of Heaven, maybe he is going to confront His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if we send Huang Tao's wife and children to His Royal Highness as hostages, maybe it will have a miraculous effect." ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Minghe thought simply, he didn't expect that there would be such a big mess in a hurry, and he didn't know much about Huang Tao, just thinking that since Huang Tao had arranged his family in advance, he should take care of it.

Gu Qiuyue disagreed: "You don't know, although Huang Tao still takes care of his family, but at the beginning, for the sake of the situation, he gritted his teeth and gave his eldest son hostage, regardless of life or death, it can be seen that the overall situation is current, Huang Tao can distinguish the importance of the matter, and then use his wife and children to threaten it is bound to be ineffective, I think, it is better to take these people to the city, and threaten Huang Kui to stop." ”

After all, Jiang is Huang Kui's biological mother.

Etiquette is supreme, the filial piety of parents, the righteousness of brothers, respect and humility are orderly, and they are the constraints.

The world is like this, for example, even if Huang Tao doesn't care about his wife and children, but the father is the son, the husband is the wife, he is a venerable, and he is not punished by the etiquette law, as long as he is ruthless.

But Huang Kui is different, don't say that the Jiang family, that is, Huang Ke is his brother, and he is a head higher in etiquette, and Huang Kui will be somewhat restricted.

Just like Huang Tao thinks that compared to Wei Guogong, Su Xun is a soft pestle, Gu Qiuyue also thinks that Huang Kui is better to bully.

"Don't care if Huang Kui can enter the Weiguo Mansion or not, since we have taken these people, of course we have to come in handy." Gu Qiuyue made a decision to let the Jiang family and Huang Ke and his wife be sent into the inner city through Xizhimen and escorted to the Weiguo Mansion to "relieve the first fire".

But when he encountered trouble, it was Huang Ke, who was passively sober, probably expected that today was unusual, and he couldn't afford it, so he begged Gu and Zhang to raise their noble hands: "My mother is seriously ill, I can't stand it, and my inner son is just a weak woman, I implore the two of you not to embarrass the female dependents, as for my life and death, but with the two of them." ”

The other party was so polite and reasonable, which really embarrassed Gu and Zhang.

Especially Gu Qiuyue, knowing that Huang Ke was ruthless and his father was a true gentleman, and he couldn't get up in front of him, he hesitated, and seeing that the Jiang family's situation was indeed delirious and quite miserable, Gu Qiuyue was really ruthless.

As for Wei, she is just Huang Kui's sister-in-law, and she doesn't have much of a threat.

It was to discuss with Zhang Minghe again: "People must be taken away, but our dignified men are really a little lacking in virtue for the sick and weak women, so it is better to ...... I took Huang Ke to the Weiguo Mansion, and you will temporarily place these two female dependents to be executed. ”

Of course, Zhang Minghe will not object, his brain is hot today, in order to "speculate", how could he have thought that this mixing is such a big thing, completely beyond the scope of business interests, as long as it succeeds, maybe it will be able to give his children and grandchildren the opportunity to enter the office, and then work hard for ten or eight years, it is not impossible to reinstate the knight, no matter how bad it is, he can become a confidant of Su and Chu from now on, and the benefits are countless, but his knowledge is limited, of course, he has to listen to the arrangement of Gu Qiuyue, the confidant of the king of Chu.

He also said that in the Weiguo Mansion, in Yuanying Hall, there was a gloomy cloud.

It was the Li family who cried breathlessly, she and the only son of the second master Su Ke fell into the hands of the Huang family, and now they are still trapped in Baihuayuan without knowing the life and death, and when they heard the drastic changes in the city, Huang Tao led the crowd to force the palace, and the victory and defeat could not be passed on to the ears of the women and children in the private mansion for a while, but there were rebels who attacked the house.

At present, the second master, the third master, including the fourth master are all in the yamen, only the Xu family presides over the overall situation in the Guogong Mansion, San Lang can't be counted on, although Erlang has the experience of being an official, everyone knows that he is not very reliable, Shilang is a good boy Although he also walked the imperial examination, he has practiced martial arts and riding since he was a child, but he is still young and has not encountered a real war, which still makes people suspenseful.

Xu Shi also complained to himself: "Second sister-in-law, it's all my negligence, my mother-in-law has already told me, but I think about it...... Gorou is at home whether he is practicing riding and archery or studying, and he has no worries, but he didn't expect ......" to be taken hostage by his sister-in-law Huang.

It's no wonder that the Xu family, she is a daughter of a family, and she was born after the founding of Dalong, and she has not experienced war, and she only thinks that the Huang family's goal is Dong Yin's mother and son, and all her thoughts are focused on this, who would have thought that the Huang family would attack the second room, the second master Su Ke is a typical scribe, never involved in military power, and should be the most non-threatening.

Although the Weiguo Mansion has long had the idea of delegating power, and does not want his nephew to be too involved in military affairs, but the Su Xun brothers have not been slack off in riding and shooting swords in addition to receiving culture and education, just for self-protection, so although Gorou is young, he also started riding and archery training early, and today morning, Gorou went to the horse farm as usual to start an hour of riding and archery training, and then he should go to the school to listen to the lecture.

Gorou is only a little more than a year older than Brother Shun, and he just passed his seventh birthday not long ago.

And with the daughters of the family getting married one after another, the inner house women's school has been withdrawn, the old Guogong is an orphan, the Su family is not a big family, and there is no clan science, so it is specially for Wulang to invite Mr. enlightenment, and the natural school is set up in the front yard.

Today, Xu's got the news, knowing that the big change was imminent, and first informed Ritchie, and the other second sister-in-law couldn't help, so she only asked her to pick up Gorou back from the front yard.

It was on the way from the horse farm to the school that he was missing, and the two little maids, one of them and a maid, did not know where to go.

Xu had already instructed him to be careful with the access control, and it was impossible for Gorou to go out.

She immediately thought of the Huang family.

Sure enough, when he went to Bai Huayuan, he was threatened by the Huang family.

Although Dong Yin has not yet come out of the moon, the situation is urgent, and he can't take care of too much at the moment, so he also got out of bed to help the Xu family arrange the deployment, and then comforted: "Mrs. has taken the fifth brother in hand, for fear that we will hurt the third brother, now there are pro-soldiers in the front yard, and there is also the Jingwei arranged by the prince outside, it is not easy for the rebel to come in, and it is even more impossible for the lady to communicate with the thief, but in my estimation, there is both the anti-party attack on the house, it should be that the palace has already gained the upper hand, and the anti-party plans to take us hostage, if this matter is passed to Baihuayuan, Mrs. will also panic, maybe, will use the fifth brother as a hostage to threaten us to open the door and ban, as long as the lady brings the fifth brother out, there is a way to save it. ”

At that moment, Xu Shi began to arrange it, so that the two strong men standing guard in front of Baihuayuan heard that there had been an attack on the mansion against the party, but she ignored it when she discussed it carefully with Dong Yin, and Li Yin gritted her teeth and looked very hideous.

As Dong Yin analyzed, Huang's captivity of Wulang is indeed just to protect San Lang, although Xu and others will not harm San Lang no matter what situation they face, Huang Tao's brothers and sisters are the same thing, San Lang is the flesh and blood of Wei Guogong after all, and he has never harmless people to seek power. However, those who are vicious in their own hearts will naturally not believe that others will have good intentions, in Huang's heart, Su Xun and his wife are bound to be jealous of San Lang, friendship and harmony are only on the surface, there are incidents outside today, if it is done, if San Lang has a case, it will be her defeat, so she must protect it.

Originally, the Huang family really didn't think about Wulang, she intended Dong Yin's mother and son, but although the eldest princess and Wei Guogong were not at home, the Xu family was also very strict, although the Huang family could enter the Songtao Garden with a shelf, but there were many guards in this place, and it was impossible for the Huang family to take hostages with only Jian Nu.

She also thought about using Mama Jiang, but unfortunately Mama Jiang was not alone by Xiao Shisun's side, and she didn't find a chance.

Huang happened to meet Wulang, and coaxed him to follow him to Baihuayuan, in the end he was just a child, although he learned a period of riding and archery, he was not very proficient, although he was followed by a few followers, he couldn't stand the crowd in Baihuayuan, and he was quickly subdued.

Ritchie is a broken household, what the overall situation is undoubtedly in vain with her, how can the only son be at ease when he is taken captive, if the Xu family sends someone to attack, first of all, Ritchie will have to scratch her face.

The Huang family has the idea that the Son of Heaven will win, as long as the situation outside is certain, the Weiguo Mansion will become a crime in a blink of an eye, and at that time, no one will take care of her and San Lang anymore.

The elder brother has "the skill of following the dragon", and she and Saburo will naturally be forgiven by the Son of Heaven.

Who would have thought that when it came to the next day, I heard that there was a counterattack on the mansion and a confrontation with the soldiers of the Guogong Mansion.

The Huang family was greatly flustered, if the Son of Heaven wins, the eldest princess and the empress dowager will naturally be detained, and even the second master, Su Xun and others will be reduced to prisoners, how can the Guogong Mansion dare to confront Jingwei, in this situation, is it not that the momentum outside is not good, and the elder brother changed his strategy to kidnap Xu and others in hand to coerce Su Xun into submission?

Thinking of this possibility, Huang fidgeted.

Sure enough, she let people bring Gorou out, and ordered the rest of the people to still bolt down, guarding Baihuayuan, she was escorted by two strong men, and personally set up a dagger on the neck of Goro, whose hands were bound, all the way to the inner house, to Yuanying Hall.

Seeing that his son was forced to his throat by the dagger, Li's grief and indignation rushed to the heavenly spirit, and he rushed to Huang's and scolded endlessly.

Huang was unrelenting, and as soon as the blade was horizontal, there was a blood mark on Goro's neck.

"If you dare to take a step closer, Gorou will die, second brother-in-law, if you want to save Gorou's life, immediately persuade the third brother-in-law to order the soldiers to stop."

Sure enough, Huang hit this idea.

"You slut, poisonous woman, a scourge of a thousand cuts, I can't let you go as a ghost!" Ritchie's eyes were blood-red, his hair was scattered, but her son was controlled by Huang's hands, she could only beat her chest and scold, and the market slang was constant, but obviously Ritchhe's pungency did not affect Huang's mood at all.

The mask of the Duchess of Grace and Virtue has been completely torn off, and she makes no secret of her sinister malice and contempt for Ritchie.

Such a vulgar and barbaric woman turned out to be a concubine with her, and she was even more liked by the eldest princess than her, and the Huang family's resentment had already been boiling, so she simply stopped being polite: "Li's, your son's life is in the hands of the Xu family, as long as she gives an order and lets people from outside enter the Guogong Mansion, I will immediately release Goro." ”

"Fart! Huang, you're still talking here, I'm really stupid? If you let the thieves enter the house, don't say Goro, the life of the family is difficult to protect! Ritchie squirted out a mouthful of saliva, but the distance was still far away, and the pollution was not enough for Huang's.

But this rebuttal was really much unexpected by Huang, but it occurred to her that Ritchie had fallen into the calculations of Xu and others, otherwise with her brain, it would never have been possible to analyze it so clearly.

Huang sneered, but resumed his polite title: "Second brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, he is just a civil official, and does not involve military power, if he surrenders to the saint in time, he may not be implicated, the purpose of the Jingwei is only Dong's mother and son, the second brother-in-law said that I am a rhetoric, but I have not thought about it, those who claim that the Son of Heaven's pro-army is a thief, and coax your family will be convicted is a rhetoric." ”

Sure enough, Huang was satisfied to find that Ritchie looked at Dong Yin in surprise, and swept towards Xu with questions.

Huang slowed down his tone: "Second brother-in-law, in fact, I don't want to embarrass you, and I have no malice towards Gorou, so you have to be careful not to be used and manipulated by others and do things that you regret." ”

"Second sister-in-law, don't ......" Xu was very anxious.

Ritchie stepped forward: "Sister-in-law, it's me who is not good, it's me who is ignorant, you must not harm Gorou, what do you want me to do, just say it, as long as I can save Goro, as long as our family is safe and sound, I can do anything." ”

Without waiting for the Huang family to speak, the Xu family had already made a decision immediately, and ordered the servant: "Take down the second lady!" ”

Ritchell was extremely sensitive, and he didn't wait for the servant woman to get close, so he pulled Dong Yin in front of him, and removed the golden hairpin and went straight to Dong Yin's throat: "Don't come here, dare to take a step closer, and I will kill Dong!" ”
