According to some of the remaining memories in his mind, Xu Jingluo quickly figured out the route and went straight to Caiyun Garden, where the Zhang family lived.

"Four, four girls? Is it really you? ”

Mama Cao, who was serving in front of the Zhang family, just came out of the room and happened to meet Xu Jingluo who was coming, and in surprise, she immediately brought her into the room and shouted loudly: "Madam, Sister Luo is here." ”

Zhang was originally leaning on the head of the bed to embroider, but when he saw Xu Jingluo walking in, he immediately stood up from the side of the bed excitedly, lost the pattern in his hand, and greeted him with a smile, but soon said very nervously: "Luo'er? Why are you here? No one found you on the way, did you? “”

Xu Wanjun once gave a death order, no one was allowed to let Xu Jingluo step into the general's mansion for half a step, and warned the Zhang family many times that if he was bumped into and met her in private, he would be expelled immediately and never returned.

The Zhang family was timid and unassertive, and did not have the courage to disobey Xu Wanjun's order at all.

In the first two years, she quietly asked a few considerate maids to send some silver and clothes to Xu Jingluo to Zhuangzi, but unfortunately Aunt Zhao caught her and reported Xu Wanjun.

Xu Wanjun was furious and punished her severely, causing the Zhang family to almost sweep out of the house.

Now seeing his daughter who he hasn't seen for a long time, Zhang's mood is very complicated, both surprised and a little worried at the same time.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter sneaked in through the corner gate, and no one found me on the way."

Xu Jingluo took a few steps forward, held Zhang's hand, and said eagerly: "Mother, my daughter will leave after asking about something, did the eldest brother send a letter from home before, talking about the war on the front line?" ”

"What letter? I haven't seen it. ”

Zhang said with a blank face: "As far as I know, the front-line soldiers are like bamboos, and they have won several battles, and the imperial court has already posted a list in the city and told the people." ”

Xu Jingluo was stunned when he heard this.

How many victories have you won? How can the statement of the imperial court be so different from what the eldest brother said?

She checked that the letter was indeed written by her eldest brother, and the news that the defeat of the Southern Zhou Dynasty had been decided was probably reliable. However, why did the imperial court lie now that the Southern Zhou Dynasty had the upper hand? Is it really deliberately concealing the truth of the facts and whitewashing the peace?

"Mother, father, has he come back?"

Xu Jingluo now just wants to hurry up and let Xu Wanjun take a look at the letter written by her eldest brother to her, and by the way, inquire about the current situation in the army.

If the Southern Zhou Dynasty is indeed about to be destroyed, the imperial court still blocks the news and creates the illusion of national peace and security, which is tantamount to pushing thousands of people into the fire pit, and the heart is ruthless and vicious!

"My lord hasn't been home for six days since he last went to court." Zhang frowned, and said with a sad face: "It is rumored that half a month ago, Lafayette was riddled with evil diseases, and all the civil and military officials were placed by His Majesty in the Heart Cultivation Hall to accompany him, and it is not clear when he will be able to come back." ”

When Xu Jingluo heard this, he was immediately surprised.

Six days ago, it seemed that the eldest brother sent the letter to Zhuangzi!

In other words, in fact, it is fake that the Holy Lord placed hundreds of civil and military officials to accompany Lafayette, and it is true that he secretly discussed to save the decline of the Southern Zhou Dynasty?

If it is as I expected, I am afraid that the Southern Zhou Dynasty is not far from the period of destruction!

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jingluo hurriedly took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang's hand.

"Mother, this letter was sent to my Zhuangzi by my eldest brother, you have seen it."

Zhang Shi shook his hand and unfolded the letter, and after quickly browsing it, he was suddenly shocked, stunned, his hands trembled even more, and Zhang Huang said in a daze: "The handwriting on the letter is indeed written by Jing Sheng himself. In this way, the old man really let the saint be placed under house arrest in the Heart Nourishing Palace, and Nan Zhou is about to die! So, I—What are we going to do? ”

Xu Jingluo saw that the Zhang family was so frightened that she seemed to have lost her soul, so he hurriedly helped her back to her seat, and while stroking her back, he said: "Mother, don't panic, the Beiliang barbarians haven't come over yet, let's sort out the gold, silver, soft and other things in the house as soon as possible, take away all the big bags and small bags, and flee elsewhere!" ”

"That's right! Escape, must escape! “

Zhang came back to his senses, turned his head and asked Mama Cao beside him, "Where are Jingling and Jing'an?" Mama Cao, you can quickly call the two of them over. ”

"Sister Ling and Young Master An went to Jingxin Lake early in the morning to row and haven't come back, and the old slave immediately went looking for them!"

When Mama Cao heard the news of Nan Zhou's death, she was also so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and after she finished speaking tremblingly, she hurriedly ran out of the room.

Seeing that the Zhang family was still twisting the handkerchief with his hand, constantly wandering, and looking anxious with burning eyebrows, Xu Jingluo stepped forward and persuaded: "Mother, it's useless for you to stand here in a hurry, it's better to sort out the valuables in the room as soon as possible, and when the younger brothers and sisters come back, we will flee immediately." ”

When Zhang heard this, he said with some hesitation: "Luo'er, what your eldest brother said may not be accurate, don't leave for the time being, and it's not too late for the master to return home to inquire about the situation." ”

When Xu Jingluo heard this, he couldn't help but help his forehead, feeling pity for Zhang's family.

Thinking that at the beginning, Zhang's family was a famous lady, regardless of the opposition of his family, married Xu Wanjun, who was poor and destitute at the time, paid out of his own pocket for him to practice martial arts, accompanied him to Beijing to participate in the martial arts test, and took care of and encouraged her husband meticulously, and finally Xu Wanjun won the first place in martial arts in one fell swoop, and made steady progress all the way until he was canonized as General Zhenyuan.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wanjun took revenge, disgusted with Zhang's neglect, ignored it, and pampered Aunt Zhao, the concubine of Xinna, and obeyed her words.

If the country is about to die, such a wolf-hearted negative man, I am afraid that he will really leave the Zhang family and flee with his favorite concubine.

When Xu Jingluo pondered, Zhang's suddenly stopped, took out a bulging money bag from under the cage, handed it to his daughter, and said: "Luo'er, my mother still has some savings here, you take it, take Runtian and Yi Bao and run away quickly, don't worry about your mother and your younger brothers and sisters, take care of your health." ”

Xu Jingluo's thoughts were pulled back to reality by her words, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, pursing his lips and saying, "Mother, are you sure you won't leave with us?" ”

Zhang's head bowed slightly, and his tone was a little helpless: "I am from the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, no matter how ruthless he is, I can't leave alone, this is called women's way." ”

After a pause, he reached out and touched Xu Jingluo's thin cheek, and said in a choked voice: "Luo'er, I have made you suffer all these years, and my mother did not deliberately ignore you and the two babies, but I really had to ...... it."

"Mother, don't say it, I know it." Xu Jingluo put the money bag in Zhang's hand and said, "The money, I don't want it, mother, please take it back." The mother must take care of her health, and raise Jing'an and Jingling to become talents in the future, and her daughter is not filial and will leave first. ”

Zhang is a traditional and conservative woman, and her temper is also very stubborn, Xu Jingluo knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he didn't bother to waste his tongue, turned around and walked out.
