Chapter 150: Tian Huo
After the early dynasty, Tian Huo went to see Zhou Xuemei with a gloomy face, only to see that she was groggy, and kept shouting "Wen Fu" in her dream, his mind flashed, and he immediately went to report to King Chen, "Your Majesty, the envoy has been shouting Wen Fu's name, and the minister thought that Wen Fu should have left Changxi Mansion and returned to Longcheng to rob the envoy, so he did not hurt the two maids of the envoy.
According to Wei Chen's inference, Wen Fu's purpose should have been to send the peace envoy to Mrs. Wen, but because he was not familiar with Ciyun Nunnery, he mistakenly took Miss Gongsun's room for Mrs. Wen's room.
The peace envoy should have found a problem and wanted to leave, but accidentally fell and was injured, Weichen thought that he should take down the Wen family as soon as possible, as long as he found the truth about Wen Fu, he could reveal it. ”
Tian Huo's remarks actually can't resist scrutiny, but King Chen has long wanted to move the Wen family, so he used the reason Tian Huo said to send someone to take down all the people of the Wen family.
The people of the Zhou family's Wen family met in the cold palace, and Zhou Xuemei's father Zhou Boli looked guilty and hid his face and cried bitterly, "In-laws, it is our family that has affected you!" ”
Wen Tao, the head of the Wen family, looked carefree, "Life and death have their own certainty, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
He knew in his heart that if he surrendered to King Chen like the Gongsun family, the Wen family would definitely be fine, but he couldn't bow his head to such a faint king.
Mrs. Wen was embarrassed, but her waist was straight, "The master said very much, the concubine has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, and she has long looked down on life and death, but it's a pity that Xuemei, she stayed in Longcheng in order to fulfill her filial piety, but she became a victim of the power struggle!" ”
Mrs. Zhou looked at her unconscious daughter, and she was crying with grief.
The rest of the Zhou family also cried silently.
Zhou Xuemei had actually woken up a long time ago, but she didn't dare to move, so she could only pretend to be unconscious until late at night, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Mrs. Zhou kept holding her, and was the first to notice that she was awake, and was about to make a sound, when Zhou Xuemei covered her mouth.
In the dark, no one else dared to speak, seeing Zhou Xuemei quietly walking to the door to observe the movement outside, she kept standing, and the others didn't dare to make any moves, just watched.
She waited until it was almost dawn before she continued to lie back and pretend to be unconscious.
Everyone knew that she was fine when they saw her agile appearance, and because she pretended to be dizzy, everyone knew that there was a reason for it even if they didn't understand, and they all tacitly agreed not to mention it.
The palace people came to deliver a few meals, during which Mrs. Zhou wanted to feed Zhou Xuemei a little, but she didn't swallow a mouthful, so Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wen secretly hid some of the food, and waited until it was dark to let Zhou Xuemei eat it.
This time she started to act as soon as it got dark, according to the news given by Tian Huai, the secret passage is in the waste well of the cold palace, the waste well is in the side courtyard next door, from the courtyard where they live to the side courtyard will pass through an open area, after last night's observation, she found that there are not many guards in the cold palace, only two at the gate, but there are a lot of soldiers patrolling outside, almost a group of people pass by in less than a quarter of an hour, as long as they move quietly, there will be no problem if they do not alarm the two soldiers.
Zhou Xuemei made up her mind and gestured several times in the dark, everyone almost understood what she meant, and their faces were solemn, but no one said anything, because this was their only chance.
So many people walking around at one time are too quiet, and score several waves.
Zhou Boli resolutely let the old and weak women and children in the family go first, Wen Tao also asked Mrs. Wen to follow the women of the Zhou family, Mrs. Wen was unwilling, Zhou Xuemei pleaded, she could only sigh and agree.
Zhou Boli and Wen Tao glanced at each other in the dark, tacitly, and walked to the door together, leaning on the door frame to complain to the moon.
"In-laws, are all those people in your family sleeping?" Wen Tao's voice was very small and very depressing, but he could hear it clearly in the quiet night.
Zhou Boli sighed and said in an almost loud voice: "Sleep!" You just came here yesterday, I don't know what to say, we have lived here for a long time, we have long been used to it, you can adapt to it after a while, hey! If it weren't for our family, you wouldn't have been affected like this! ”
"Say no more! The matter has come to this point, and we also admit it, my old life, if it is gone, it will be gone, but it will be bitter for the eldest daughter-in-law, she is young."
Wen Tao and Zhou Boli were talking without a match, and Zhou Xuemei quietly slipped away from the back door with the others.
The hearts of the two of them were about to rise to their throats, but they were still chattering unhurriedly, from reminiscing about the past to sighing for the Ming Dynasty, the south and the north of the world were talking nonsense.
When everyone arrived at the waste well, Zhou Xuemei's eldest brother dragged the strip of cloth down the well without saying a word, and when he landed, he dragged the strip of cloth, Zhou Xuemei had a bottom in her heart, and quickly let the children go down first, followed by Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wen, she was the last to go down the well, and by the way, she tore off the strip of cloth.
The two of them who have been talking here estimate that the time is about the same.
Zhou Boli yawned and said, "Sleep, you can still see the morning sun tomorrow." ”
"What the in-laws said is, then go and rest!" Wen Tao responded, and the two got up and walked inside, and when they almost arrived at the place, they immediately slowed down their pace and slipped through the back door.
The two soldiers guarding outside pursed their lips disdainfully, they were both dying and pretending to be open-minded and hypocritical!
After Zhou Boli and Wen Tao landed safely, the two of them did not dare to come out and hurriedly drilled into the small hole.
Zhou Xuemei asked them to go first, and she stayed to plug the entrance of the cave, so that the people above would not know the mystery inside if they didn't jump down the well.
After doing this, she followed the group, and the group slumped forward, walking for almost half an hour, and finally straightened their waists.
Tian Huai led a group of black-clothed people here.
Zhou Xuemei's eyes lit up when she saw him, and hurriedly stepped forward, "I have done everything you explained, but this secret passage is not hidden, and they will find us sooner or later when they find out that we have run away." ”
Zhou Boli asked suspiciously, "Who is this?" ”
"It's me." Tian Huai pulled down his scarf.
Everyone was dumbfounded, "Tian Shizi! ”
Tian Huai hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "This is not the place to talk, you go first, my people will answer outside, and I will take care of the aftermath here." ”
Since he came, he naturally wanted to give King Chen a big gift.
Zhou Wen and the others saw that Tian Huai seemed to have a backbone, and they had blind confidence in escaping from Dragon City.
After dawn, the Praetorian Guards went to the cold palace to deliver food as usual, and as soon as the door opened, they found that it was empty, and King Chen was furious when he received the news, and scolded Tian Huo with his head and face, "This is the person you brought!" A group of living people ran under the noses of the Praetorian Guards! You don't know anything! What do you do with these wastes? Tian Huo! Give you a day to catch those traitors, and if you haven't found anyone before dark, come and see you! ”
Tian Huo was drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly summoned people to arrest people, but they turned the cold palace upside down and didn't find half a figure, seeing that half a day had passed, he could only run back to the Xiwu Marquis Mansion to find Tian Rin for help.
