Chapter 500 War Horses

Because of the urgency of the time, after Wei Changying rushed to the upper room, Mrs. Su, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and flower hairpin, put her arm around her eldest granddaughter, Shen Shujing, and only faintly admonished, "Be careful on the road, and when you see them in the future, take more care of Ming'er and Yan'er."

Liu, who was sitting on the first seat at the bottom, dressed in the same gorgeous clothes and makeup as Mrs. Su, did not know if it was because her only son was far away in Western Liang, and her husband was willing to stay with her mother and daughter, and the knot that had been in her heart for many years was suddenly dissolved, so she did not look frightened and miserable, but was vaguely happy, and she nodded her head toward Wei Changying with a smile. I'm sure you'll be able to help me with this."

Sixth young lady Huo Qing Ling from the middle of last year since the body is very bad, about this reason, this moment did not appear here. The rest of the concubines are all sobbing silently, they are not qualified to talk much here.

Mrs. Su saw that Gu Rouzhang and the others were getting anxious, and Gu Rouzhang, who was the most impatient, was even about to speak. Gu Rouzhang, who was the most impatient, was even about to speak, and the sound of shouting and killing from the west gate was very close, so she commanded, "There's nothing more to say, Chang Ying, you go with them quickly!"

Wei Changying bit her lip and said, "Yes." She added, "Daughter-in-law, these two ambassadors know martial arts and horsemanship."

"Then bring or protect and serve you." Mrs. Su's eyelids didn't lift a bit, faintly said, "Outside would have prepared four horses for you to ride, crosswise to stay but also cheap Rong people."

Wei Changying got permission to look at Shen Shujing at the top of the table--such a young niece--but when Shen Shujing touched her aunt's gaze, she just smiled and owed her body, "My niece wishes your aunt a safe journey! My niece must stay behind to serve my grandmother and the elders, so I won't see your aunt off!"

See both Mrs. Su and Liu did not send word to let themselves by the way to bring Shen Shujing, obviously not too optimistic about the escape of their line of people, or think that after joining the door never out of the Shen Shujing after the possibility of their escape will be greatly reduced.

Wei Changying's heart ached, and without further words, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Su, and after standing up, he whispered to Gu Rouzhang and the others, "I've kept you waiting, let's go!"

"Sister Wei is courteous, Mrs. Su, all of you, we'll take our leave now!" Gu Rouzhang and his party would not delay, and immediately all stood up, saluted towards the hall, and said in a deep voice.

Just as they reached the door, an old crippled footed servant with a diaphanous cloak in his hand suddenly came in from outside Liu was surprised, "Zhao Wuxin, how did you get here?"

It sounded as if the old servant was an underling of the big house.

At this time, Wei Changying and the others certainly wouldn t pay attention to him ...... were about to pass by him, but they heard Zhao Wuxin say in a deep voice, "Third young lady, please stay!"

Wei Changying was stunned, and as she slowed down, she heard Zhao Wuxin say quickly, "My son was among those who broke the back with the Grand Duke, and he was killed in battle! But the horse he rode on was always taken care of by the old slave, so he even dragged the body of the old slave's son back to the back door of the old slave's residence! This horse is not as good as the Third Young Lady's 'Red Flame', but it is also better than the four horses outside the house! Moreover, my son's fate was not good, he was shot by the Rong people as soon as he came up, and before the fierce battle, this horse had almost no wear and tear!"

Gu Rouzhang was delighted when she heard this, "This is really great, where is the horse?" Her rouge horse can not be robbed, Pei Jie and others are also their usual mounts, this time to bring Wei Changying together to break out, the most worried is that the Shen family to take away the "red Yan", leaving all the incompetent horses, will not be able to keep up.

Now that we have this horse, even if it's not as good as Red Flame, it's still better than the one that Mrs. Su brought out from the stables just now.

As a result, that Zhao Wuxin didn't answer after hearing Gu Rouzhang's words, but instead stared at Wei Changying and said, "Old slave has a request."

Mrs. Su and Liu at the top turned pale and were about to reprimand him.

But Zhao Wuxin came next, shaking his cloak in his hand, and said something other than allowing himself to travel with him or something like that, but rather, "Please, Third Young Lady, take Miss Da Sun with you!"

"Xinyi Pavilion at the moment no one to watch the door, the old slave dare, just went in to find this women's wear cloak, I do not know if it is Miss Da Sun's. But it can also cover the gorgeous clothes on Miss Da Sun!" Zhao Wuxin said word by word, "Miss Da Sun doesn't know how to ride a horse and must ride with someone. Originally, Madam could only take out four worn-out horses, if Miss Sun was allowed to travel with her, it would inevitably result in the young lady and Miss Sun both being unfortunate! But with the old slave's son's warhorse, I think it's enough to bring Miss Sun to leave the imperial capital!"

"Zhao Wuxin, you!" Liu stood up in shock!

Wei Chang Ying took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, looked back at the hall, and said in a deep voice, "Jing'er, come over here and put on the cloak!"

"Many thanks, Third Young Lady!" Zhao Wuxin sniffed and handed his cloak over to Qin Ge, and it was only at this point that he exploded with the sorrow of his son's death, trembling as he leaned back against the door pillar and slowly sat down, choking back sobs, "In that case, the old slave's son was not skilled in martial arts, and his death at the hands of the enemy wasn't a total failure to help the Grand Duke!"

Before the words were finished, he was already bawling!

In the hall, Mrs. Su went back and wiped her face, pushed Shen Shujing, who was speechless due to the shock, and said in a sad voice "Child, go quickly! Zhao Wuxin only has one son, you can't let him down!"

Shen Shujing blankly went down the hall and walked to Liu "Mother ......"

"Quickly go with your third aunt! Mrs. Gu and the others have already delayed too long for you!" Liu cried tears of joy she had just stood up in surprise, but now she simply dragged her daughter to the door, took the cloak from the qin singer, put it on her daughter in three tries, pushed it to Wei Changying, and said deeply, "Thank you, Third Sister!"

Kneeling down again, he actually kowtowed violently towards Gu Rouzhang and the others, "Thank you all!"

But Liu only kowtowed this head down, the cries of Aunt Guo in the concubines, who was only sobbing in a low voice before, suddenly increased, and cried out in grief, "Young Lady, since you can take the two ambassadors with you, take Yue'er with you as well!"

"Shut up!" Before Wei Changying replied, Mrs. Su, who was at the top, suddenly shouted, "Gag her with me!"

But although Mrs. Su's attitude is clear, Shen Shujing is usually letting the spoiled younger siblings, heard a body shock, subconsciously to pull his aunt towards the outside Wei Changying said "Third aunt, Yue'er, she is smaller than the niece ......"

"Let's go!" Wei Changying bit his lips hard, but ignored Shen Shujing's modesty, instead tightly pulling her towards the gate of the mansion in big strides!

Shen Shujing hesitated for a moment, but struggled up with force, "Third Aunt, you take Yue Er away, she ......"

Wei Chang Ying frowned, but he heard Gu Xi Nian snort coldly first and said, "Don't be confused, virtuous niece! When Zhao Wuxin gave that horse to sister-in-law Wei, his request was to bring you along instead of your cousin! As the saying goes, one who is entrusted is loyal to another! Besides, who can blame your family's second house for not having such a loyal servant?"

...... Being gradually left by them in the upper room at the back, Aunt Guo watched the door slowly close after being dragged away from Zhao Wuxin by Liu herself, still not dying, desperately struggling, shouting, "The second house is already like that madam you ......"

"Kill her!" Seeing that the two grannies who went up were not sure if they were horrified by their next fate and lost some strength, and could not actually hold Aunt Guo down for a moment, Lady Su's eyes flashed sternly as she angrily shouted!

This order, however, was better executed than gagging Auntie Guo, one of the grannies held Auntie Guo's arms from behind, while another drew the dagger in her sleeve and stabbed Auntie Guo several times in the vitals of her heart the nearby concubines all fled screaming in fear, and Auntie Guo, drenched in blood, but not yet dead, cried out ''Rou'er has gone mad, Yi'er is dead! The only one left is Yue'er, now the two maids can go, why can't Yue'er go! Yue'er small, unlike Miss Da Sun already adult so heavy ...... Miss Da Sun herself also said to let Yue'er's is not it?!"

Mrs. Su coldly looked at the collapse in a pool of blood can not stop struggling and shouting, but the breath gradually weakened Aunt Guo, there is hatred and disdain in the eyes "This is the Li child in the Western Liang personally saved the people endured the pain of the loss of the only son, rushed over to send with the Jing child's way of life, in order to report the Li's grace! What's the point of giving it to the second house? The real son of that bastard thing! If it is not urgent, I really want to ...... originally he killed the Duanmu clan after scaring crazy Zuo Er, still can take away the moon child ...... but he also crazy, just run to the front yard, the road also have other people to take care of him! Such a father, Zuo'er and Yue'er with us on the road, perhaps better!"

Liu is not even look at Aunt Guo a glance, went forward to persuade "Mother you eliminate a dissipation of anger, this time the things of the second house who did not expect, Aunt Guo also can not bear the blow, which is such a mess up. In any case, nowadays the third younger sibling they have already gone away ......"

Speaking here, she knelt down again and made a big bow towards Mrs. Su, crying and laughing, "Jing'er left in a hurry and didn't have the time to say goodbye to you, mother, daughter-in-law made up this gift on her behalf. Daughter-in-law even thanked mother for allowing the third sibling to go alone before, otherwise Jing'er wouldn't have been able to ride a horse, and they didn't have much of a friendship with Mrs. Gu, so where did she get the chance to live?"

"There is a reason why I let Chang Ying go with them." Lady Su raised her hand, signaling Liu to get up, and called for hemlock wine to be brought in, saying softly, "The six valves in the sea have aligned their lintels, yet each family's situation is different. Song, Wei, Duanmu three families have private soldiers, but not like my Shen family, as well as Su, Liu three families need to defend against foreigners, so in terms of money, these three family savings far from Shen, Su, Liu can be compared, just look at the dowry of the long ying know Wei family heritage of its rich! She is alive and well, and the Shen family's provisions will not be afraid of the Wei family not to help....... The world does not know how long it will take for the world to be in chaos, and since there is such a marriage, how can it be easily given up? In addition, that Gu Rouzhang mentioned 'Red Flame' in his words, not letting Chang Ying go with them, once they survived, told the Wei family to know about it ......."

Mrs. Su wearily shook her head, ''Your father and I actually didn't originally think of letting Chang Ying die, we had planned to let her gamble on her luck in the secret room just like Ning'er and Qingling. But before handing over too much stored grain, and did not expect the Rong people to break through the city so quickly, the storage in the secret room is very limited, once the Rong people occupy the imperial capital for a long time ...... Gu Rouzhang and these people come to the door, maybe it's the will of heaven ......"

Speaking here, Liu had already drank the hemlock and smiled softly, "Mother is well-intentioned." Hundreds of years of prestige family, operating in the imperial capital also as long as Wei Zuo, of course there are secret rooms and dark passages in the house of Taifu.

But the culvert can not pass over the city wall to the outside of the city, both in the city, in the final analysis, but also to the problem of grain storage.

The male heirs fled on the strength of their sharpness, and the women, their chances of survival were here.

But this chance of survival is as inaccurate as the dangers that may be encountered during a breakout.

Being discovered is naturally no blessing, but even if it stays undetected, there's still a problem ......

"It's your father who prepared well earlier." Mrs. Su laughed bitterly, watched the crowd in the hall gradually fell, he also will hemlock drink a drink, murmured, "Now the imperial capital of each family is afraid that only my Shen family because of the previous preparation of grain and grass to the Western Liang army, the secret room has enough for several months of grain, right? The other families have secret rooms and also useless ...... months, can recapture the imperial capital?"

She set a good example, since she was also forcing her daughters-in-law and subordinates to accompany her to their deaths, in order to save more grain for her daughter Shen Zangning and her sixth daughter-in-law, Huo Qingling, to live a few more days, so that they could wait until the Wei people recovered the empire-except that in the arrangement of Shen Xuan and his wife, the ones who entered the secret room were Wei Changying and Shen Zangning, which wasn't just because of the special status of Wei Changying among the daughters-in-law, and the reason why the couple's two beloved youngest daughters were so close to their hearts. This is not only because of Wei Changying's special status as a daughter-in-law and the fact that Shen Zangning is the couple's beloved youngest daughter.

The darkness of the closed room, the lack of companionship, the knowledge of strong enemies and the separation of family members made it easy for Wei Changying and Shen Zangning to break down, even if they were both open-minded women. At that time, it would be the same as Shen Shurou, who had been frightened to death because she knew that her mother had killed her concubine brother in order to let her father take her away, and then was killed by her father. ...... Before Wei Changying arrived at the upper room, Mrs. Su personally fed her hemlock wine and carried her to the inner room... ...

But Gu Rouzhang and the others came to the door, wanting Wei Changying to break out together; Liu's couple had long had the will to die together; Duanmu was killed by her husband; Su Yuyin was far away in Xiliang; Pei Meiniang was deeply disliked by Mrs. Su; and this quota of accompanying Shen Zangning into the secret room undisputedly fell to Huo Qingling.

"Ning'er, but I hope you are safe!" This life's experience in a flash like water and flow in front of the eyes, Mrs. Su eyes light gradually dim, voice imperceptible spit out the last sentence with the Rong people shouting and killing sound surging to the Tai Fu House, glazed wine from her hands slipped, fell into countless fragments, each piece of the fragments, are reflected in the imperial capital and the sky of the great fire everywhere!
