Chapter 163 The Arrow

The carriage galloped forward quickly, and the sound of fighting came from behind.

Mrs. Lin hugged Gu Mingzhu tightly in her arms: "Zhuzhu is not afraid, her mother is by your side."

Mrs. Lin felt that her daughter in her arms was not only not crying, but instead carefully avoided her belly, as if she was afraid that the carriage would accidentally bump into her.

Mrs. Lin was in a daze and always felt that Zhuzhu was no different from ordinary girls now.

The carriage stopped before running far, and then there was a sound of fighting in front of him. It seemed that the road ahead was blocked.

"Don't panic, madam."

A voice came from outside the carriage, and Gu Mingzhu recognized that it was Zhou Zesheng.

Mrs. Lin lifted the curtain and saw Zhou Zesheng pretending to be a guard, and stepped forward and whispered: "Mr. Wei arranged for me to wait to protect Mrs. Wei."

Mrs. Lin nodded. The Wei family guard's expression was firm, and there was an extraordinary calmness between his eyebrows and eyes, which made him feel a little more confident.

Mrs. Lin said: "It is hard for Lord Wei to think so thoroughly."

At the critical moment, Mrs. Lin felt more and more that Lord Wei was a person with a cold face and a warm heart. No wonder the Wei family has always had a good reputation in the court and the country. In the words of my father, if the family tradition is good, the descendants can only last for a long time if they are good at doing well.

But Gu Mingzhu was thinking about Zhou Zesheng's words. She was surprised when she saw her uncle in Lord Wei's yard. Now that she was ordered by Lord Wei to come to protect them, this made her feel even more unusual.

When did my uncle meet and Lord Wei? I stayed to help, and I was obviously very close to Lord Wei. My uncle has been working in the garrison for many years, and the Wei family is in the capital. How did the two of them have a friendship?

As Gu Mingzhu thought about it, the rebels were temporarily suppressed, and the servants pulled the carriage and continued to walk forward.

Mrs. Zhou Ruzhang was so scared that she was scattered. Zhou Ruzhang shouted: "Who is it? Don't you know that the prince is here?"

When she lifted the curtain, she happened to see a man and a horse rushing up the path, holding a long sword and slashing at the Cui family's guards. Her fierce appearance made Zhou Ruzhang tremble.

"Mother, what should I do? Who are the people who come? They are not even afraid of the imperial soldiers. Could it be that they are going to rebel?"

The robbery and killing the imperial guards is undoubtedly a rebellion.

Mrs. Zhou San's mind was in a mess and couldn't think of a reason. They were drinking tea and snacks, but suddenly something happened. They knew nothing about who was coming. The bandits and bandits wanted to escape immediately when they saw the government. They would not come to meet them. At this point, they were only thieves.

Who wants to rebel?

"Don't panic, don't panic," Mrs. Zhou San comforted Zhou Ruzhang, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, it's okay. Our Zhou family has saved His Highness the life of His Highness. If your Highness doesn't save others, he will save us."

Zhou Ruzhang rushed to Mrs. Zhou San, and his whole body was trembling.

"Where is the Cui family? The Cui family will also protect us?" Zhou Ruzhang said, "My brother-in-law must have given me before leaving." He believed that Cui Zhen must have made arrangements. In the past few days, she often went to Mrs. Lin to ask about her well-being. Just now, she brought a bowl of hot tea to Mrs. Lin.

Zhou Ruzhang looked out from time to time, and the Gu family carriage was surrounded by guards not far away.

There are no many people in the Gu family. These are clearly from the Cui family. Zhou Ruzhang bit his lip tightly. Why did the Cui family care about the mother and daughter of the Gu family? Have you forgotten that if the Gu family hadn't had what happened today?

"Madam," the voice of the manager's mother came from outside the carriage, "Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't know where he went. There was no one in the carriage and horse protected by the East Palace. Now it is Lord Lu and Mr. Cui from Taiyuan Prefecture who are taking people to fight against the enemy."

Zhou Ruzhang covered his mouth, as if the sky above his head had collapsed suddenly. If the prince was not here, who would they expect?

Mrs. Wednesday still held a glimmer of hope: "Impossible, I was watching His Highness ride in front of her horse before."

"I've gone to see it. Your Highness is really not here." The manager's mother said confidently.

Mrs. Zhou San said, "What about Wei Yuanchen?" She also had some friendship with Wei Yuanchen.

The manager said: "Mr. Wei doesn't know where he is."

The wife collapsed there on Wednesday.

"Mother, what should we do?" Zhou Ruzhang said tremblingly, "Without the protection of the Eastern Palace, our family doesn't have many people. What if... if... the order is lost..." She dared not think about it.

Mrs. Zhou San's mind was moving quickly. She felt that she had thought clearly about everything before and after: "We have to follow Mrs. Lin and keep an eye on Mrs. Lin's carriage and horse. Wherever the lady goes, we will go, and we must chase it tightly." It's very simple. Lu Shenzhi of Taiyuan Prefecture is a civil servant, and only Cui Wei is a military general here. Who do they rely on if they don't rely on Cui Wei?

The Zhou family manager responded: "I understand, and it will make people keep a close eye on the chariots and horses of the Cui family's female family."

As soon as the manager finished speaking, Lu Shenzhi's voice came from outside: "We will go south if we fight back the rebels in a while, everyone will follow us, don't get separated."

Cui Wei wiped the blood splattered from his face and went to check on Mrs. Lin's situation.

Mrs. Lin's face became even more ugly because of panic. The tortures she suffered these days made her hair look white on her temples, and she seemed to be ten years older than before.

Cui Wei said: "Mom, don't be anxious. Although there are many rebels, fortunately, most of our guards have gone through war and will soon be able to fight a path of blood. Then we will escort you out."

Mrs. Lin grabbed Cui Wei's hand: "Who is so bold? What are they going to do?"

Cui Wei has not figured out the situation now: "Mother, among those rebels, there is someone... I seem to have seen it."

"What?" Mrs. Lin's eyes widened in surprise, "Where have you seen it? Did you take a look?"

Cui Wei pursed his lips and looked very solemn: "I saw it when I went to my uncle's place. The man seemed to be doing things next to my uncle and was very close to him."

Mrs. Lin seemed to have seen a ghost: "You are not mistaken?"

"When the man saw me, his face was a little strange. He shouldn't be wrong," Cui Wei said. "It's a pity that my elder brother is not here, otherwise I can discuss with me, and at least I can figure out what's going on right now. After my elder brother left, it was Wei Yuanchen who arranged everything. Wei Yuanchen was guarding against me everywhere, and I couldn't find out the news."

Mrs. Lin held her hands tightly: "The Wei family bullies too much." But soon she thought of Cui Wei's words again. Could it be that those people were really sent by her younger brother?

"Your uncle...isn't it..." Mrs. Lin didn't dare to think about it. The word "rebellion" was too terrible.

Cui Wei remained silent, and Mrs. Lin became even more panicked.

"Mother," Cui Wei said, "There are some things that my elder brother doesn't let me say. In fact, my uncle probably can't escape this time. My aunt has admitted that the Zhao family was instructed by my uncle to sell war horses, which is a death sentence. Moreover, my elder brother also said that my uncle privately raised his troops... The private garrison of troops on the frontier is regarded as a rebellion."

So it's a dead end no matter what.

Mrs. Lin's three souls and seven spirits seemed to have pulled away from her body, and her younger brother rebelled: "Why did he do this? It's impossible, he is dedicated to serving the country, it's impossible."

Cui Wei had no time and was about to leave: "Don't worry, my son must protect his mother even if he fights to death."

Cui Wei was about to leave, but his arm was tightly held back by Mrs. Lin: "Why did your uncle send troops to siege us?"

Cui Wei said: "I thought about it carefully. If this is my uncle's army, they might want to rescue Han Yu and others, and then they want to capture the female relatives as hostage. His Royal Highness and Wei Yuanchen are not here, so they may be able to deal with other changes and cannot get out for the time being."

Capturing female relatives as a constituent? Mrs. Lin said: "Your uncle won't arrest us, he...he must have arrested Gu Lin. Yes... it's their mother and daughter. Your uncle will end up with the result today, and they are all harmed by the Gu family."

"Brother Wei," Mrs. Lin's hand was even harder, "Your uncle is not a cold-blooded person, he will not harm us. If you really see him, don't kill him."

Cui Wei's expression was complicated: "Mom, don't worry, I... know what's going on in my heart."

"Brother Wei, you are a kind child, you must listen to your mother..."

The curtain was lowered, and Mrs. Lin's voice came to an abrupt end.

Cui Wei just left the carriage.

"Swoosh swish swish" arrows shot out from both sides.

"Go away quickly," Lu Shenzhi ordered, "protect the carriage and walk one by one, and we will go to the front and meet again."

In addition to the female family, there was also a clumsy prison car. Feng Anping and others took the prisoners out of the car and tied them to the horse's back. When Han Yu saw everyone in chaos, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had expected this day.

Han Yu's voice was hoarse and stared at Feng Anping: "You will all die... You are self-righteous and can see through everything, but in fact you have been held in the palm of your hand for a long time. Maybe you will find out the truth, but the result will always be the same, and you will definitely lose."

Feng Anping punched Han Yu in the neck. This was what Chujiu taught him. He exchanged several kilograms of beef for this move, but it worked very well. Han Yu fainted.

Lord Lu ordered them to meet in front. When he saw that the Gu family and Cui family were escorted out, he couldn't help feeling well.

"Let's go, let's follow."

...

"Madam," the Gu family carriage had just thrown off the rebels behind him, and the manager stepped forward and said, "The Cui family carriage was not right, they suddenly stopped."

Mrs. Lin lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw Mrs. Cui Si being helped out. Mrs. Cui Si took two steps forward and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Go and have a look." Before Mrs. Lin could finish her words, the guard who had been guarding next to her quickly walked over.

"Mrs. Cui Si was shot."

Mrs. Lin was shocked. Seeing that the others had not yet caught up, she immediately got out of the car to check. Gu Mingzhu also followed Mrs. Lin.

As soon as the two of them walked to Mrs. Cui Si, they saw that Mrs. Cui Si's dress was soaked in blood.

Seeing the arrow on Mrs. Cui Si's body, Gu Mingzhu frowned. No, the arrow was very short and small, and it was shot from a small crossbow.

The small crossbow is so skillful that it has a close range. The person who shot this arrow is very close to Mrs. Cui Si.
