For several months, Shan Heng would go out with firecrackers as long as he could.

Mrs. Shan's eyebrows are almost knotted at home, but looking at the firecrackers since they entered the house,

There are more and more smiles in his grandson's eyes, and his heart is like a muggle that he can't unscrew, and he is reluctant to tear it open.

Seeing that his relationship with Shan Heng is getting stronger and stronger, Firecracker is secretly happy in his heart,

It's just that after the secret joy, my heart can't help but feel melancholy.

Where to go in the future, whether to grit your teeth and stay in Shan Mansion, or to leave quietly after Shan Heng marries his wife,

She didn't dare to think about it, and she forced herself not to guess the ending.

However, what should come will always come, and what you have to face will have to be dealt with sooner or later.

The old lady is no longer looking for her fault, and occasionally sees her like air,

She has become a single house again, the most idle person, not drinking tea and reading books all day long,

She went to the garden to tease the crickets and enjoy the flowers, but she never climbed the tree again.

Three days later, in the evening.

Ruyu ran to Shan Mansion to look for her in a mess.

"What's wrong?"

She felt uneasy in her heart.

"Something happened to the second lady!"

"What's going on?"

"To be exact, something happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion...."

"Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Firecrackers wondered: "What will happen to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"The night before yesterday, Si Yanjin, the proton of Kun Jiang, escaped from the house and disappeared.

The prime minister sent people to search the whole city, but no one was found, and the prime minister wanted to suppress the rumors and then secretly look for people.

Who knew that he was told to the emperor, the emperor was furious, and the party took the opportunity to slander the prime minister.

said that he and Si Yanjin were distant relatives, but it must have been the prime minister who colluded with Kun Jiang and deliberately let Si Yanjin go. ”

"Si Yanjin fled?"

Her mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Yes, the emperor was furious, put Cheng in prison, and ordered the Heng Mansion to be copied.

dismissed the people in the house, and all the family members were exiled to Suihe. ”

Ruyu's eyes were red.

"What? Raids, exile? ”

Firecrackers were shocked by her words and almost collapsed on the ground,

The journey to exile was arduous and long, and most of the prisoners died halfway through the river before they reached the Sui River.

Even if you are lucky enough to get to Suihe, you will work hard all day, eat and sleep in the open air, and you can't last more than a year and a half at most.

As soon as these two ladies were exiled, it was equivalent to sending them to death.

"No, no, they can't be exiled."

The firecracker's brain exploded, and when he got up, he accidentally knocked over the teacup.

It's impossible to find Shan Heng for help, he has always been quite close to the prime minister, and it's good not to be implicated in this incident.

The Qi Mansion will not succeed, Master Qi will not dare to take this risk, and it will be a big sin to burden the Qi family with all the children at that time!

So who do you go to? That's right....

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she turned her head and asked Ruyudao.

"When will you go?"

"Early in the morning."

"Madame in prison?"

"Exactly."

"You can't move your hands in the Imperial City, it's too difficult."

"Do you have a solution?"

Ruyu's eyes widened.

"You have to go out with me, it's a long way, can you still hold up?"

She looked at Ruyu's bloodless face, as if she might faint in the next moment.

"Yes!"

Ruyu nodded firmly.

"Let's go!"

The firecrackers brought some silver taels and clothes, and stuffed some pastries into the baggage at will.

pulled Ruyu out of the door.

When he passed by the gate, the guards at the gate did not stop him.

Everyone knew that this woman had a great relationship with the waiter, so naturally they didn't dare to ask more.

"The squire came back to help me tell him that I had something to go out for two days."

"Yes....."

The guard replied with a blank face.

"Let's go...."

"I think they're all a little scared of you..."

Ruyu muttered in a low voice.

"They're not afraid of me."

Firecracker shook his head helplessly.

The two went to the market to rent a carriage before it was dark.

Hurry out of the city in a carriage before the gates close.

Two days later, the sky was slightly bright.

Fifty miles outside the city, on the chaotic slope of horses, there is a group of mountain bandits in ambush,

Among them, there are two people, firecrackers and Ruyu.

"Brother Hu Oak, the officers and soldiers will arrive in a while, we will see the opportunity,

Thousands of quick battles, they are outnumbered, we can't fight. ”

"Don't worry!"

Hu Oak crouched beside her with his face covered.

"Also, brothers, be careful to evacuate as soon as possible if the situation is not right.

Don't fight for your life! That's all I have to say here! ”

Firecrackers turned around and clenched their fists at everyone to show their gratitude.

"Huh! You are the life-saving benefactor of our Hu family, not to mention that this time the second lady is in trouble,

Our lush cottage will definitely help! You say don't you? ”

Hu Oak turned to ask the bandits behind him.

"Of course!"

Everyone said in unison.

"Hear me, Firecracker Girl!"

Oak raised his chin at her, motioning for her to put her heart in her stomach.

"But then again, why haven't these officers and soldiers come yet?"

His squatting legs were a little numb.

"It's coming, it's coming! It's coming. ”

Someone behind him whispered.

Leaned forward to take a look at the firecracker, and sure enough!

Not far away, the officers and soldiers escorted the family members of Hengfu and were coming towards the foot of the mountain.

"Girl, do you know why this is called Ma Lanpo?"

Hu Oak asked suddenly.

"I don't know ....."

Ruyu and Firecracker both shook their heads.

"Look at it...."

Hu Oak waved his hand mysteriously, and more than a dozen horses behind him were untied.

They rushed down the hillside one after another.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I was still eating grass in an orderly manner,

But after a while, they began to roar and bump into each other.

The firecrackers took a closer look, but there was a nest of bees chasing after them.

They rushed along the path, in the direction of the officers and soldiers escorting the exiled prisoners.

"Why do bees chase horses?"

Ruyu was puzzled.

"Pollen on the horse's buttocks?"

Firecrackers seem to understand something.

"Yes!"

Hu Oak knew that the firecrackers would definitely guess, so he was not surprised.

"A mile west of the Maranpo slope, there is a valley of flower gods, and the valley is full of strange and fragrant wild flowers.

And because no one picks it all year round, the road has been blocked, and every summer, every time there are horses passing by,

There will be pollen on the buttocks and the horse's tail, and when the horse comes to this hillside,

The hornets in the hornet's nest on the plane tree below the slope will be attracted by the pollen on the horse's tail and be caught behind the horse.

That's why some people call this place a horse slope. ”

"Look, the horses are heading towards the officers and soldiers!"

Ruyu pointed in the direction of the horse's gallop.

"I saw the second lady, at the end!"

Firecrackers looked at the second lady, the third lady, and the little young master all followed at the back of the line.

Not far in front was Heng Bian, but he didn't see Young Master Heng Yuan.

"Action!"

Hu Oak tied his face towel tightly, waved his hand, and led the mountain bandit brothers along the bushes for cover.

Slowly approach the slope.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the slope, the exile was scattered by the horses, and the second and third ladies fell to the ground.

The officers and soldiers who escorted them were only concerned about fleeing for their own lives, and completely ignored them.

Qi Xiaoyun saw that a horse was rushing towards her like crazy,

My heart was sad,

That's good! Anyway, I went to Suihe, and I didn't live for a few days.

It's better to die like this, although the death may be a little ugly,

But it's just a random roll of straw mats and discarded to mass graves!

Who knew that she had just closed her eyes, but she felt someone hold her waist and pull hard,

The mustang grazed her arm and galloped away.

She turned her head, but a pair of sword-like eyes stared at her.

The man cut off her anklets with a knife and yelled, "Hurry up, go to the slope!" ”

Then they fought with the officers and soldiers.

Qi Xiaoyun looked at the chaos in front of him, and he had no direction for a while.

Just as she was dizzy, two familiar calls suddenly came from behind her.

"Madame....."

"Is that you?"

Even though the two women in front of her were covered with faces, she still recognized them at a glance.

"We're here to save you, come with us!"

Here, Hu Oak has already pushed the little young master and the third lady over,

Ruyu held the second lady, and the firecrackers pulled the little master,

Stumbling up the slope.

"Stop! Hold it! ”

The three soldiers saw that the prisoner had run away and hurriedly chased after him.

The little young master looked back while running, and accidentally stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to grab the little young master's legs, they found that they were tripped by something, and when they looked down, it was Heng Bian.

"You guys get out of here!"

Heng Bian clung to the legs of the officers and soldiers and did not let go.

"You turtle grandson, dare to get in the way of Lao Tzu's business!"

The officers and soldiers kicked Heng Bian's head fiercely.

"Young Master Heng Bian...."

The firecrackers helped the little young master up, and looked at Heng Bian's face covered with blood.

"Let's go! Leave me alone! ”

"Brother!"

The little young master saw that Heng Bian was beaten, and he was anxious to rush back.

"Don't come here, let's go!"

Heng Bian's eyes were already blurred with blood: "Take the vine away!" ”

Seeing that Heng Bian was getting weaker and weaker, a few officers and soldiers not far away noticed the movement here,

The firecrackers finally had a heartbeat, and they dragged the little master and ran away.

Ruyu dragged Qi Xiaoyun all the way, followed by an officer and soldier chasing after him.

Qi Xiaoyun has been eating for several days and nights, and his body soon lost his strength.

The steps under their feet became slower and slower, and the officers and soldiers blocked them on the hillside, raised their knives and slashed at Qi Xiaoyun.

Qi Xiaoyun and Ruyu hugged each other, closing their eyes and waiting for the knife to fall on their heads.

But all they heard was a scream, and when they opened their eyes.

But it was Shen Kite who stood in front of them, and he had already fallen in a pool of blood.

The two of them were shocked, and watched as the officers and soldiers raised their knives towards them again, but the knives did not fall.

The throats of the officers and soldiers had been neatly slit by Hu Oak from behind.

When! The knife fell to the ground and rolled down the hill along with the corpse of the soldier.

"You.... Why did you save me? ”

Qi Xiaoyun walked up to Shen Yuan, stared at her incredulously and asked.

"Sister... I... I said... I have not harmed your children...."

"I... I know. ”

Qi Xiaoyun squatted down and slowly took her into his arms.

"Help me... Help me take care of Fuji'er...."

She looked up and saw that the firecrackers were running up with the vines,

The bandits on the hillside were already answering them.

"Okay, I will."

Qi Xiaoyun nodded.

"Hurry up, they're catching up!"

Hu Oak ran over and urged.

"Let's go... Leave me alone! ”

Shen Yuan's bloodstained hands kept pushing Qi Xiaoyun.

"I ....."

"Let's go!" Hu Oak pulled her up.

"Take care of Fuji'er for me!"

Shen Yuan lay on the ground, using the last of her strength in the direction she was leaving.

Then, his eyes closed and his head fell.
