On the fourth watch, the lanterns of the night market on the streets have been extinguished, and only a few people come and go on the streets.

The faint moonlight shines through the cracks in the old eaves, reflecting the silhouette of the street.

The stalls and shops lining the streets were closed, except for the occasional faint candlelight from a few small doors.

From time to time, the watchman in the distance banged the gong in his hand, making a crisp gong sound, making the whole street even more silent.

The bluestone pavement of the street has been carved with traces of time, and the rain in the past two days has made it seem that the bluestone pavement has a long time, as if it is silently telling the vicissitudes of history.

The willow trees on both sides of the street, although many of the willow leaves have been blown off by the wind, are still verdant and graceful, and a few nocturnal animals still take advantage of these times to quietly shuttle through the streets, as if looking for something.

In this late night, everything on the street seems to be asleep, and the prosperity is naturally asleep, and everything on the street becomes mysterious and ancient at this moment. It was as if time had stood still here, and at that moment, the wheels of a carriage gurgled on the bluestone slabs......

"Aunt Cousin, are you cold, we will be home soon." The two sisters, Xie Yi and Xie Yihua, who were staying in the carriage, hugged Murong Shu's side, took Xie Hao'an's cloak and draped it on Murong Shu's body, and said with great pity.

Xie Hao'an did not hide anything from the sisters Hua'er on top of this incident, although this matter was a scandal to some extent.

But first of all, it should be the shameless Murong family who feels ashamed of this matter, and secondly, Murong Shu has a bad fate today, if he doesn't tell Murong Shu's identity and origin at the first time, then ...... With Murong Shu's current situation, he will only suffer more gossip, and he Xie Hao'an wants to protect Murong Shu well, and he doesn't want Murong Shu to suffer from gossip again, especially in the Xie family and the Gu family......

Therefore, after Xie Hao'an exchanged 100,000 taels of silver tickets for Murong Shu's freedom for ten days, he immediately told the two sisters Xie Yi and Xie Yihua the ins and outs of this matter.

And the two sisters of Xie Yi and Xie Yihua were not worried about the Xie family's shame and discrimination because of Murong Shu's status as a flower girl in the Qinglou now, but they felt very sorry for Murong Shu's experience, and they couldn't wait to do all their best to take good care of their ill-fated cousin.

"It's okay, I'm not cold, where is this, I've been fetching water in the ice and snow, besides, it's not that I'm going to be at Xie's house soon, I'm really too late to be happy!"

"Aunt Cousin, it's good if you are happy, our Xie family has everything, and our Xie family is also a good person, besides, Aunt Cousin, you are so good-looking, I think my grandmother will be very happy when she sees you!"

"yes, yes! Grandmother must have wanted to keep her cousin by her side as soon as she saw you, and when the time comes, the family will be reunited, and we will never come back to this place! Xie Yiyi said with a big grin, not noticing at all that what he said inadvertently poked Murong Shu's sore spot, and Xie Yihua, who was delicate, immediately quietly pinched Xie Yi as soon as he heard what Xie Yi said, and signaled Xie Yi not to say anything more.

Xie Yi was also pinched by this, and immediately reacted to what he said was inappropriate, and was about to explain, but he saw that Murong Shu smiled and said without mind:

"You don't have to be so careful, I didn't steal, I didn't rob, I have lived to the present with my own ability, and there is nothing I can't say, besides, you can't afford me, there is no me in your heart, now, I can see it clearly."

"Let's just say that the three people outside us, although they have very different personalities, in my opinion, they are still the most enthusiastic good brothers as when I was a child! I just don't know, my three good brothers, in the future, what kind of beautiful girl they want to match! I heard that Brother Chen Chan is now a general, and his physical strength should be quite good! The bride of the future must have to work hard! Murong Shu joked loudly with a smile.

Murong Shu's words reached the ears of Chen Chan, who was riding a tall horse outside the carriage, and the three of them looked at each other, all of them were quite helpless, this little girl is old and bold, and this kind of joke is still with them.

"No matter how much you talk and talk more, be careful that I now throw you off the carriage and let you walk on your own on this ground!" Chen Chan frowned, slowed his pace, walked to the window of the carriage, and patted the window with his hand to warn.

Murong Shu smiled slyly, and then stuck out his tongue, causing Xie Yi and Xie Yihua to chuckle.

"Aunt cousin, aren't you from Yuzhou, why are you so familiar with General Chen and Liang Liugongzi, who grew up in the capital?"

"Like...... It seems like...... You've known each other for years? Xie Yi looked at Murong Shu and Chen Yun's familiar and presumptuous attitude, and was quite curious in his heart, then thought about it, and finally asked curiously.

"Meaning, you are really a clever girl, indeed, although I am a native of Yuzhou, I do have known your little uncle, General Chen Chan, Liang Liulang and several other people, because of fate, I have really known each other since childhood."

"Oh? Cousin, tell us about your childhood! We're really curious! Little uncle, this man told me everything, but he didn't tell me about his childhood! Very stingy! When Xie Yi said the last sentence, he deliberately said loudly to Xie Hao'an outside the carriage.

Xie Hao'an just shook his head when he heard this, quite helpless, but he still continued to let Murong Shu and Xie Yi talk wantonly in the carriage.

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you a little bit about a few of us."

"In the past, although the old house of the Murong family was in Yuzhou, my mother was still in the world at that time, and the relationship with your grandmother was also the best, and Yuzhou and Kyoto were not far apart, so every time your grandmother's birthday, my mother always came to Kyoto to congratulate your grandmother on her birthday.

So my mother reluctantly took me every year, together in Kyoto, back and forth, and you are familiar with your little uncle, I remember that it should be when I was six or seven years old, that year was your grandmother's full birthday, so, at that time, my mother took me to live in the capital for half a year! ”

"That is half a year, there was a kidnapping case in Kyoto, do you know?"

"Yes, yes! Although I was only three or four years old at the time, I later heard my mother and father chatting about this matter, at that time, there was a former dynasty church called the Yin-Yang Sect, in order to support the descendants of the former dynasty abolished prince, set up a shocking situation, kidnapped many children of important officials of the court! ”

"Among them...... I remember that my uncle was kidnapped at that time...... It's hard to become a cousin, aunt, and you! "Thank you for exclaiming!

"Exactly, at that time, the sons and daughters of many important officials of the court were kidnapped, including your little uncle, Brother Chen Xuan, Brother Liang, as well as the second brother of Qi you know, the son of the Yan family and the brother of the Li family, and I was arrested with your little uncle at that time, and I ......was arrested by the way."

"Ahh Cousin, you're so unlucky! ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, the blessing and the misfortune depend on each other, although it is said that I suffered a kidnapping, but if it weren't for this kidnapping, how would I know these good brothers of mine~"

"So...... Cousin, is this why you all got married? ”

"That's not it, when my parents died young, everyone thought I was a disaster for my father and mother...... After the death of my parents, the elders of the clan seized my family property and embezzled my family's tribes. Chen Chan heard the movement in the car and suddenly spoke.

"Exactly, exactly, my Liang family offended the villain back then, my father was degraded again and again in his career, and many people avoided my Liang family. Liang Liulang also said out loud.

"Then why were you arrested?"

"It's all your fault Xie Jiashu for making a big move~ Although the two of us are not the sons of important ministers, your little uncle is your grandmother's heart, and before we were kidnapped, we had already become each other's childhood playmates because of some things, when I heard that your little uncle was tied up for only two days, the two of us were anxious, and your Uncle Chen Chan directly acted as the 'Dali Siqing', pulled me up, and began to find the whereabouts of your little uncle."

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, or because the officials who handled the case back then were also part of the rebels, so the gang was too careless, and they arrested so many children in a few days, and they were all locked up in the same place, and they were also locked up in the downtown area.

Children encounter a strange environment, naturally crying night and night, even if the group of people coerced and intimidated, it is inevitable that the neighbors heard the sound, you Chen Chan brother was more mixed in the market back then, often deal with the flowers, although the flowers are humble, but when it comes to finding out the news, it can be said that to a certain extent, even Dali Temple can not compare. ”

"So, you found the nest of those guys!" Xie Yihua, who had been listening to the story quietly in the carriage, couldn't help but ask out loud when he heard this.

"Exactly, however, we are still very smart, and there are no two children to save people with their bare hands, my family was still a little related to Dali Temple at the time, so I dragged to the Dali Temple at that time An official who was responsible for investigating the case accompanied us to investigate."

"As a result, I didn't expect that our Liang Liulang's related household officials happened to be part of the rebellious ministers and thieves, and because of this, the two of us were also arrested." Chen Chan said coldly.

"I remember I said at the time, let you go to Yan Guogong first."

"Hahaha, I don't know my heart, besides, how did I know that the person who was so gentle towards us at that time would be a bad person...... How do you know...... Yan Guogong, who looks like an ice cube...... He's a good guy...... I thought that our good brother An was a good bamboo shoot...... Hee-hee-hee~" Liang Liulang said embarrassedly.

"Huh!" Xie Haoan laughed silently.

"And then! Afterward! Little uncle, aren't you all arrested, how did you escape! Xie Yi said in the carriage.

"Later...... Later, because we were locked up together, we got to know each other, and then we overheard that the group of people wanted to threaten our family with us, and after the fact, they didn't plan to let us go at all, so we children were ready to save ourselves. ”

"Help yourself! Little uncle! I've heard that those big men are outlaws! How did you get out of danger? ”

"What about the outlaws, conceit, is their biggest weakness, they think we are just a bunch of children, they don't take us to heart at all, and there are only two or three little ones guarding us during the day, and the others, but anyone who has a little status and real ability, go to follow their master to plan something big."

"And we kids saw this and came up with a trick to escape."

"Huh? What's the trick? Xie Yihua thanked the two sisters and said suspiciously.

Murong Shu smiled and said: "At that time, before our elder brother Chen Shu touched into the place where we were being held, he had already explored the surrounding environment clearly, and knew that as long as we could get out of that courtyard, a few hundred meters further on, there would be a street, and the street would definitely be full of patrol officials and private armies of various families looking for people. ”

"So, that day, your little uncle was ruthless, injured himself, made a hard cut on his arm, and shed a lot of blood, those little uncles, naturally didn't dare to let your little uncle have an accident at that time, so they immediately opened the door of the room, wanting to take your little uncle away to stop the bleeding."

"It was at this time that we took out the fragments of the rice bowl that we had hidden a long time ago, and scratched their necks while they were squatting down to check on your little uncle."

"Speaking of which, that should be the first time that our people have seen blood, I remember, it should be Ah Shu and Ah Jing who did it." Liang Liulang said.

"Well, yes, Ah Jing and I have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and we are the most ruthless, after those two people were injured by us, they didn't have time to hit us, and they were knocked unconscious by a few of you with other stones, bowls and chopsticks, and then, we worked together to subdue the remaining guards.

You let me run out into the street and move the rescuers. ”

"Speaking of which, it's also dangerous, it was really bad luck that day, as soon as Ah Shu ran out, those big people came back unprecedentedly, and they found out what we did, they punched and kicked us, and after the beating, they immediately wanted to hide us in another place, fortunately, at the moment when they were taken away, the rescuers arrived!"

"Yes, on that day, all of us hung up the lottery and almost died......"

"But the good thing is...... It's hard to come to you~" Liang Liulang said with a smile.

The rest of the people also looked at each other and smiled at the moonlight, no longer spoke, and only continued to walk on this road by the moonlight.
