Chapter 269: Old Grudges



This turmoil came without warning, and dispersed extremely quickly, on Chinese New Year's Eve, when everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year, the victims were encouraged by people with hearts, launched attacks on major grain stores and wealthy households, and after attacking them, they frantically grabbed food, in addition to many thieves who fished in troubled waters, they disdained food, but they went for gold and silver wealth, for which many mansion compounds were killed and injured, and the fire reflected the night sky.

When the officers and soldiers who got the news rushed over, they only caught some of the victims who had snatched food, and all of them were locked up and put into the prison and began to be busy fighting fires, and the New Year's night was covered with blood, and screams and cries could be heard everywhere, as if they had suddenly entered the Shura Hell.

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is the most painful loss among the big families who suffered this time, because the father and son of the Zhenbei Hou are not there, and the guards left behind were also dismissed by the Cui family for one reason or another, and the strength was empty, and as a result, the thieves took advantage of the situation, not only lost a lot of property, but many courtyards were burned down, Nangong Fan's biological mother, Zhenbei Hou's concubine also died in this chaos, and her daughter Nangong Min disappeared in the chaos.

However, the remaining people, because they were locked in the house by Cui's order, could not get out, and the place where the concubines and concubines lived was not very gorgeous, and they were ignored by the bandits, but they saved their lives.

Nangong Fan was so busy that he didn't even bother to go back to Zhenbeihou Mansion to take a look, Emperor Jinxuan is currently controlled by him, he is a puppet, he is doing everything in front of and behind the scenes, who knew that such a big thing would happen all of a sudden, he really wished he had three heads and six arms.

But it is said that Liaodong, which is calm and calm, no one knows that the Central Plains has long become a pot of porridge, and after the lively New Year, Mo Youran led everyone into production with enthusiasm, and Zhenbei Hou has already run out of food, and all rely on the supply of Liaodong to be regarded as no problem.

Nangong Xiao led two embarrassed men and women into the gate of the Mo family. After entering the door, he handed the two people to the maid: "Take them to the bath and change their clothes." ”

The little maid immediately took them down, and the man and woman looked back at Nangong Xiao's figure entering the inner courtyard. They glanced at each other, lowered their heads and left without saying a word.

Dong Li put one hand on his stomach and felt the aerobics of the little guy who was getting more and more active inside, and held a book in the other hand and looked at it slowly. Nangong Xiao looked at her soft eyebrows, and a smile spread out at the corner of her mouth. Gently walked over and stretched out his hand from behind to wrap his arm around her shoulder: "What are you looking at?" Be careful not to hurt your eyes. ”

"You're back?" Dong Li immediately showed a big smile without hesitation, put down the book and took his hand: "How about sitting down and resting for a while?" All the food has been delivered? ”

Nangong Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and drank it dry, and put down the cup: "Yes, we went in time, if it is a few days late, the Zhenbei Army will run out of food, and I was pulled by those deputy generals for a while." I almost couldn't get out. ”

Dong Liang pursed his lips and smiled, leaning on the table with his chin in one hand and looking at her husband: "Did those lieutenants talk about any sisters and sisters of the right age in their own family that they want to introduce to you?" ”

Nangong Xiao was dumbfounded, there really is, but does he dare to say that to his daughter-in-law? cautiously looked at his wife's expression, and laughed dryly: "You have to believe that I am wholeheartedly devoted to you, no matter how the wind and rain are outside, I will not move." ”

"Virtue!" Dong Li gave him a blank look, in fact, he didn't need to ask to know that such a young, handsome and accomplished young man was also a powerful prince. There are more people staring at him, even if he knows that he already has a daughter-in-law, there will still be people who want to enter the door without giving up, even if they are willing to be a concubine. But the problem is that the husband and wife are reluctant. They don't know how many rotten peach blossoms they've blocked these days.

"By the way, I rescued a couple in the woods today." Nangong Xiao felt that this topic was more dangerous, and if he continued, he estimated that he would sleep on the ground at night, so he quickly changed the topic: "I was going to hand it over to Youran, but the two of them insisted that they would repay the grace of saving their lives, and they would die to make cattle and horses for our family." ”

"No, I don't." Dong Li flatly refused, "How much does it cost to raise a person?" How much do sheep, cows and horses cost? People don't do as much as cattle and horses, and they are easy to be selfish, so send them away quickly. ”

Nangong Xiao looked at her depressedly, a little depressed: "I thought you would say that they were so pitiful or something like other women, and then take the initiative to accept them and give them good treatment." ”

Dong Li rolled her eyes, she was not a fool. Besides, the locals all know how dangerous the forest is, and most of the people who will appear in that place are not locals, and it is possible that they are deliberately waiting for Nangong Xiao to go up, and they don't even know the origin of the people, so she doesn't want to be afraid.

"It's worthy of being my daughter-in-law, but she's smart and clever." Nangong Xiao applauded and praised, and then lowered his voice and said mysteriously to his daughter-in-law: "Why did I leave them?" I felt that these two men were coming from a bad place, and the sachets they were carrying seemed to attract the attention of the beasts, and if it weren't for the wind, we would definitely have been attacked by the beasts on the way back. ”

"You mean to say that the two of them deliberately used special spices to attract wild beasts to attack them, so that you would see the sword drawn to help?" Dong Li nodded understandingly, well, yes, there is this possibility: "Then what do you think their purpose is?" ”

"It's just that I want to get in here, I just want to see what they have in mind, so I took the initiative to bring people back." Nangong Xiao smiled cunningly and cunningly, and his eyes were shining: "I think it's more reassuring to keep them by my side and watch them nearby, so I pushed the boat back with me, but okay, you are not allowed to contact them when I am not by your side." ”

Dong Li pursed his lips, and understood that his husband was worried about himself: "When I am rare! It's time to go to dinner, my father and mother are in a hurry, so I quickly change my clothes. ”

Nangong Xiao got up to change his clothes, and Dong Li took this opportunity to say to the three little puppets placed on the Bogu shelf: "You keep an eye on those two people, and if there is anything wrong, notify me immediately." ”

The three puppets moved their arms and legs to indicate that they had heard, and one of them whispered a cheer: "Finally, there is something to do, and when I get here, I am about to grow hair." ”

The long-haired ones were zombies, not ghosts, Dongli pouted and saw Nangong Xiao come out. Immediately stepped forward, the husband and wife went out to eat at Xu's place as usual, and the three ghosts took this opportunity to float out of the puppet and circle around the house. Wait for the sky to get dark and make a move.

The husband and wife brought back by Nangong Xiao took a bath and changed out of the tattered clothes on their bodies, wearing the subordinates and above issued by the Mo family, and the man's black tights. It is convenient to move, and the upper body of the woman is a jacket. The same tight waist and tight sleeves, the lower body is cotton pants of the same color, and a skirt is added outside, unlike the long skirt that reaches the ankles like in the capital, only to the knees, which is also for the convenience of movement, after all, it is not as particular as the capital here. They can't be like the women of big families who don't have to do any work, they can wear that kind of long flowing skirts, but they have to do a lot of things, not only to serve in the house, but also to go home to help the family to help the family farm and work or something. Most of these are locals, their hometowns are here, and they all have to go back to help in their spare time.

"Xianggong, do you see that? It doesn't seem to be very strict in their homes! "The woman pulled up her hair casually, revealing a face, which was not particularly good-looking. It's a pair of eyes that are very bright, but it's a pity that the lips are very thin and slightly pulled down, revealing a bit of meanness, and it seems that he is a very shrewd and powerful person.

"I saw it. Unfortunately, I don't know what's going on inside. The man grabbed his hair and competed with him, and tied it up hastily: "Didn't the gods say it?" That woman also has some very powerful forces around her, if God is not by our side today, we can't deal with those inhuman existences at all, and we still need to think about it in the long run. ”

The woman pursed her lips, seemingly unwilling, but she also knew that what her man said was reasonable, and she hatefully threw the tattered clothes she had changed into on the ground: "I'm just unwilling!" The slut killed my brother, and I still have to pretend to please her under her hands, I'm not reconciled! ”

"Madame, be quiet!" The man rushed up with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and covered her mouth: "Grandma, don't you look where we are now?" This is not the god we used to be, be careful when you speak, and you have ears across the wall! ”

The woman took his hand with a resentful face and stepped on the instep of the other party's foot fiercely: "It's all your fault!" If you hadn't provoked that woman's sister, you wouldn't have made such a thing! ”

The man is angry in his heart, it is not what it used to be, the Divine Cult has been dispersed, he no longer needs the help of his wife's mother's family as before, and he no longer needs to endure his wife's arrogance, but many years of habit make him always subconsciously endure it when facing his wife's temper, and then regret how he was stupid again.

"We have to deal with that woman, and we have to fulfill the instructions of the gods to take the power of the Zhenbei Army into our hands, this matter cannot be completed overnight." The woman vented and turned to sit aside: "Unless we control those two maids like before and control those people, those people in the Zhenbei Army are loyal to the Marquis of Zhenbei and will definitely not obey our orders." It's good to find a way to turn them into puppets, but I hate that those two maids are so useless that they can't even get rid of a child! ”

"What's the hurry, this is just the beginning." The man glanced at the woman's back in disgust, and missed his women who had been married with dew, any of them were more beautiful and gentle than this woman, but now there was only such a spicy thing by his side: "What happened to the hairpin?" Can you find it? ”

"I'm wondering too." The woman's mean lips pursed a hard arc and slammed the table hard: "It's just a copper hairpin, no one can look down on it except for the maids below, but until now I haven't felt that anyone is controlled by the power on the hairpin, do you say the hairpin has been thrown away?" ”

Although the hairpin was not worth much, it was extremely exquisitely made, and those maids would definitely be reluctant to throw it away if they saw it, but it was a bit strange that no one had been controlled until now.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me!" The locked door was suddenly knocked away from the outside, and a man in a white robe stood at the door, glowing faintly in the night as if bathed in moonlight.

Chu Liangchen passed by here and saw the three ghosts floating there with angry faces, and came over to check with curiosity for a while, who would have thought to hear such wonderful words, and took out the hairpin from his sleeve: "Is this what you are looking for?" But if you want to get it back, you have to answer a few questions from me. ”

The man came back to his senses from the initial panic, and noticed that there was only one person at the door, and no one else was accompanied, as long as he killed this person, no one would know their secret, and suddenly pounced on him with a fierce light, and his skills were extremely clever.

Chu Liangchen held the hairpin in one hand and put on a gesture of a Buddha smiling with flowers, and when he saw the man pounce on him, he didn't dodge, and with the other hand, he put on a mysterious posture and hit it: "Since you don't want to tell me, then I have to come and see it myself, and the soul dementor ** should be more useful."
