Chapter 280: Brother and Sister in the Old Years

Mrs. Yongninghou's eyes darkened.

Qin Luan saw it in her eyes and knew that her grandmother must still remember the events of that year, but she didn't want to mention it or think about it.

Among the people seated, only the second uncle lowered his head, and the whole person was embarrassed.

Mrs. Hou sighed: "I remember." ”

The chaos of the previous dynasty should be counted from when, each has its own version.

The men of the royal family are not prosperous, and they will not live long.

At a young age, the dragon robe was added, and the emperor died after not sitting for a year or two.

Of course, there could be no heirs, so I had to let my younger brother succeed to the throne.

After repeating it several times, the younger brother was not enough, so he had no choice but to go to the clan to raise a young child for a year and make him the emperor.

In this way, there are many princesses and eldest princesses, and there is no shortage of noble and powerful horses.

Emperor Changxing is the one who has lived longer among those little emperors.

But what's the use?

He's just a puppet.

Moreover, the general trend has gone, and even his group of brothers-in-law and uncles can't control the chaos in the world, and they just want to make some benefits from it, and he, the emperor, might as well not be an emperor.

In the third year of Changxing, Zhao waved the pole to revolt, and soon after, Qin Yin raised troops to follow.

Powerful people from all over the country have risen one after another, quickly seizing the city and developing and growing.

There are alliances, there are mortal enemies.

There are allies in rebellion.

In the sixth year of Changxing, when Zhao Hui led his troops to the expedition, the garrison city was attacked by the allies.

Mrs. Hou was brave and good at fighting, and she carried the command banner and stopped them together with the soldiers and women who were left behind.

It's just that the allies bared their fangs in the city, leaving them, the women and children who stayed behind, the old and weak, and even the guards of the city walls were lost, so they could only delay as much time as possible and let those who were unable to resist go first.

It wasn't until she was exhausted that she escaped from the city.

Those people only wanted the city, they only wanted money, and they did not kill all those who fled, and gave them a little respite.

However, there are many, many people who have not escaped.

Mrs. Hou lost two sons.

Her real eldest son and second son died in the city in order to protect the young Qin Wei and Qin Zhi.

The little Qin Wei crawled out of the city with his younger brother on his back, and when he saw his mother, the two children couldn't even cry.

Not only the Qin family, but also the sons and daughters of the Zhao family, who are nowhere to be found.

There was no way to go back to the city to find someone, so Mrs. Hou could only endure the pain of losing her son, and together with other people who still had the strength to spare, she took the escaped people to the side towns.

Soon, they waited for the rescue force.

It's just that the garrison city is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The main army is still fighting in front of it, and it cannot be withdrawn, and these soldiers who only rely on the rescue are unable to overcome the high city walls, so they can only leave here with the reinforcements and go to the cities occupied by other Zhao families.

Two months later, they won the battle.

The lord seems to have accepted the grief of losing his children, regained his strength, and led the army to fight back.

The army is approaching the city.

When the sky was about to dawn, two children appeared in the distance in front of the tent.

The soldiers on the tower stared at them for a while, not daring to confirm it, and invited Qin Yin to come up.

Qin Yin, whose eyes were like eagles, looked at it in a daze for a long time.

He recognized it, but he didn't dare to recognize it.

Where are those two children like the son and princess of the lord's family?

The beggars wallowing in the mud were cleaner than the two of them.

The pair of children were the young Zhao Lin and Zhao Gui.

When Zhao Hui heard the news, he didn't care about putting on shoes and clothes, and rushed out with his long hair scattered, holding the child and crying.

Zhao Lin and Zhao Gui also cried.

Zhao Gui was tired of crying, so she was carried back by Mrs. Hou, groomed and sorted out for her, filled her stomach, and fell asleep.

After Zhao Lin finished crying, he became proud.

That day, Zhao Lin wanted to take Zhao Gui out of the city, but unfortunately the two children ran the wrong way and almost hit the rebels in the face, so they had to hide in the side houses.

By the time the rebels had passed and they had come out again, it was too late.

There was no hope of escaping from the city, so Zhao Lin came out of the drummed children's clothes from the house, put them on for himself and his sister, and painted his face dirty.

When the rebels closed the city gate and counted the number of people in the city, he and Zhao Gui were standing in the crowd.

The rebel generals, the people who didn't have time to leave, none of them knew their brothers and sisters, they only regarded them as ordinary boys.

In the hot summer, the corpses in the city need to be cleaned up so as not to cause the epidemic.

The rebels were too lazy to do so, so they threw it at the surviving civilians.

Zhao Lin worked as coolies for them.

Although he is young, he is willing to work, and he does not cry bitterness, but only asks for a little food to fill his stomach.

Someone took pity on the two children and gave them a little ration, but anyway, the small appetite was too small to eat a few bites.

Seven-year-old Zhao Lin relied on that little childlike strength to support himself and his sister, and he was also waiting for news from his father.

He knew that his father had won the battle.

He knew that his father was coming back to reclaim the city.

He suddenly heard that some people in the rebels suspected that Zhao Hui's children were still in the city.

Before the rebels searched on a large scale, Zhao Lin took advantage of the night to crawl out of the city through a dog hole at the foot of the city wall that was only big enough for a child to get out, and hid in the forest with Zhao Gui.

After waiting for several days, I drank water to quench my thirst, and the fruit was full.

One night, I encountered a big insect that went to the river to drink water, thanks to Zhao Lin's ability to climb the tree, and carried Zhao Gui all the way to the top of the tree.

The big worm was not interested, drank the water, looked at them for a quarter of an hour, and left.

Then they waited for the army to be stationed.

On the flag flying high, the word "Zhao" is written.

They found a home.

Recalling the scene back then, the eldest princess's eyes were also a little red.

Although she was young at that time, those difficult memories were deeply engraved in her mind.

She still remembers how proud her brother was.

Proud, he protected her.

Obviously, no matter how much she drags down, with her brother's ability, she can escape from the city on the same day and evacuate with the others.

Not rescuing her is not something to blame.

But the brother carried her on his shoulders and resisted in his heart.

She couldn't get enough to eat, and he was even hungrier.

The brother never left her alone until he brought her back to his relatives.

On the side, Mrs. Yongning Hou calmed her mind.

She knew the reason why the eldest princess brought up the old thing.

If they want to get out of Qiyang Mansion, these old faces can almost say that they have no chance.

The only ones who can give it a try are new faces.

Just as their brother and sister were able to survive in the city and not be taken hostage, because no one knew them.

"Is there a portrait in the city?" Mrs. Hou asked Ah Rui.

Ah Rui shook his head: "There is no portrait yet." ”

"Erlang's daughter-in-law, Ah Feng, Ah Luan," Mrs. Hou nodded, "They are all fresh faces in Qiyang." ”

When Qin Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "What about me, what about me?" No one recognizes me! ”

When Ji heard this, he glared at his daughter.

She has regarded the sending of the edict as her mission, the eldest prince has excellent martial arts, and the eldest girl has a profound Taoism, and they are all capable people.

What about Mandarin Ducks?

In the school field, Ah Yuan is indeed not inferior to her peers, and men of the same age are all defeated by her.

But what they have to face is not the school field, but the fight for their lives, when one fights ten, what can Ah Yuan do?

She even bragged for charms, but she only dared to brag about "one hit five".

Out of breath!
