The inner city, the old house of the Qu family.

"Mother, it's time to take your medicine."

Qu Sheng held a bowl of boiled medicinal soup and pushed open the half-hidden door.

"Put it on the table."

Mrs. Qu held a red candle and leaned over the desk without looking up.

Qu Sheng smiled, "This bowl of medicine at night should be taken while it is hot." ”

"Mother is looking at something, so seriously."

She put the bowl down, leaned over to glance at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, "This is the first time I've seen such a detailed map." ”

"Mother is studying the map late at night, is she going to open the family shop somewhere else?"

Mrs. Qu raised her head, sighed and shook her head, "You, you're really a hard worker who sees money." ”

Qu Sheng was suddenly unhappy, biting her lip and breathing, "Mother, what are you talking about, I don't work, what about our family business?" ”

"My life is almost gone, what is this idea outside the body?"

Mrs. Qu sighed again, and suddenly said to the inner room, "Aunt Pan, are you ready?" ”

"Miss, you're all set."

Mama Pan lifted the curtain and moved a few boxes out.

"It's too much, let's make it a little more streamlined." Mrs. Qu opened them one by one and checked, "You don't need to bring so many clothes, it's best to make a little more space for food and medicinal herbs." ”

"Understood, the old slave will go and prepare."

Mama Pan nodded and walked out of the room quickly.

It was only at this time that Qu Sheng suddenly came back to her senses, "Mother, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Prepare to flee, what else can you do?"

Mrs. Qu tested the temperature and drank the medicinal soup in one go, and there was a trace of blood on her pale face.

"You may not know that Cangyuan City is already in danger at this time.

As long as you wait for the possibility of leaving, you must not hesitate.

Otherwise, when the opportunity passes, I am afraid that there is no way to go to the sky, there is no door to enter the ground, and I can't even run out. ”

"Why did Mother say that?"

Qu Sheng was full of doubts, "As far as my daughter knows, although there is some chaos outside now, when the three families get rid of the bandits outside the city, everything will return to normal......

"Back to normal?"

"Maybe some people will be able to return to normal, but there are many people who will never return to normal."

Mrs. Qu smiled faintly, "How do you know that the three families in the inner city must unite as one, in order to exterminate the bandits?" ”

"How do you know if those warriors who are far away from Cangyuan City now are alive or dead?"

Qu Sheng shivered, only to feel that even in the steaming conservatory, his whole body was cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

"Where did Mother get the news?" She asked, with a trembling voice.

"Aunt Pan, it's better for you to tell her."

Mrs. Qu lowered her head and began to look at the map again.

"Yes, miss."

Mama Pan said, "This is all the news that the old slave's daughter has just passed back." ”

"Is it Aunt Xiao Zhong?"

Qu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't she be sent back to the Central Plains by her mother in the summer?" ”

"Little Miss, after Zhong Yi went to the Central Plains, he secretly joined the Qinglian Sect by chance, and was favored by a certain deacon inside, which can be regarded as entering a position close to the core."

Qu Sheng frowned, his expression puzzled, "Qinglian Sect? Why have I never heard of this name, and is it related to the red lantern club that rises in the city? ”

Mama Pan said, "The Red Lantern Society is just a branch of the Qinglian Sect, and it is also the main force in this rebellion.

Even the Red Lantern Society members that Miss Xiao saw on weekdays were just peripheral members to woo.

Their real core backbone, and even the figures above the altar master of the incense lord, are rarely revealed in front of people at all. ”

Qu Sheng slowly calmed down and muttered to himself, "So, this bandit trouble is actually related to the Qinglian Sect, and the situation has reached a critical level?" ”

"We don't know the specifics, after all, Xiao Zhong is only close to a core figure, not the real core.

Her own knowledge is limited, and her actions are even more restricted.

In this situation, it is not easy to have a few words to pass on. ”

"Mama, what should we do now?" Qu Shang picked up the teacup, and then put it down, and for a while there were some six gods and no masters.

Mama Pan sighed, "That's why we will pack up our things and be ready to escape from Cangyuan City at any time." ”

"It's just that it's difficult to get in and out of the city gate now, so I have to stop and wait for the right time."

Qu Shang fell silent and took a sip of tea.

Suddenly, a noise rang out in the distance.

Faintly, you can still hear what seems to be someone screaming.

Mama Pan got up suddenly, first blew out the fire candle, and then quickly left the room.

Qu Sheng was nervous in his heart, and his palms were full of sweat.

Through the crack in the window, she saw the red light rising into the sky outside, which looked eerie and bewitching on the dark and snowy night.

There was a door click, and Mama Pan went and returned.

"The Zhou family, the Xu family, all lit up a fire."

"There was fighting on both sides, but the scale is unknown," she said briefly. ”

Mrs. Qu put away the map, "Aunt Pan, prepare the carriage, we are ready to leave at any time." ”

……………………

Wei Rongxing sat in the room, and he hadn't been able to come back to his senses until now.

Zheng Suyun and Wei Hong next to him looked even more confused than him, and even felt a little at a loss.

Starting from the doorway, along the corridor to the east and west wings, two rows of young men with sharp blades stood silently.

The aura of slaughter emanated from them, colder than the howling wind and snow outside.

Wei Hong drank the tea in one gulp, and after a while, he felt that his stomach was a little distended.

I want to go to the thatched house, looking at those people in Tsing Yi with murderous faces, she didn't dare to go out.

I can only hold back.

But he couldn't control the tension in his heart, and continued to pour tea into his mouth cup by cup.

"Brother Tao, where has my brother gone?"

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and asked the nearest Tsing Yi man at the door.

Click!

The man actually knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully, "If you go back to the eldest lady, your lordship is practicing in the firewood room, and I ordered people not to go in and disturb them." ”

"Oh, oh...... I'm going out for a bit. "Wei Hong's legs are weak, as if he is stepping on cotton.

"Please forgive me, my lord, my lord strictly ordered, it is dangerous outside, you and the old lady can't go out."

"I, I want to go to the hut, can't I?"

Her cheeks were red and she was on the verge of crying.

At this moment, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and it came from the courtyard.

In an instant, all the people in Tsing Yi knelt down.

Wei Tao was wearing only a single coat, and his body was steaming with raging heat, and the snow melted everywhere he passed, revealing the ground.

He quickly came to the door of the main house, lowered his head, and showed a gentle smile to Wei Hong, "The eldest sister doesn't dare to go out, is it because she is afraid of the dark, and the younger brother will accompany you." ”

Wei Hong raised his neck and stared blankly at his younger brother, who was nearly two heads taller than him, and his body was about to touch the door frame, and he even forgot the feeling of bloating for a while.

She blinked her eyes and muttered to herself, "You're not Brother Tao, how can my brother be so tall?" ”

Wei Rongxing, who was sitting in the room, was even more shocked.

As a carpenter who collects herbs and can build houses, his sensitivity to length is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people.

You only need to visually inspect it, and you can casually say the length, width and thickness of the furniture panel, and the error is not much worse than that measured by an ink ruler.

Wei Rongxing clearly remembered that when he went to pick him up at the Hu family's new house at night, Tao Ge'er was not this height.

As a result, how long has it been, and it has grown nearly a foot in height?

The difference between the two is too great!
