"They ran away," Mrs. Wang said, wiping her tears. "As soon as we turned around the mountain, a lot of refugees suddenly ran out from both sides. They grabbed things when they came up and killed people if they couldn't grab them. The cow carrying your grandfather's coffin was frightened.
The car rushed into the field and overturned."
"Your uncle is so cruel that he turned a blind eye. I couldn't leave your grandfather alone, so I asked people to carry him. But the servants were also frightened. As soon as your uncle called over, they all ran to protect the second room.
He escaped, and our carriage accidentally overturned when we were going down the field."
Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "Qinggu ran after your uncle, stopped in front of his car and begged him to save us. Your uncle said that life and death depended on heaven, and then someone pushed her away and ran away. After that, it was a mess.
, the rebel army rushed over, and Qinggu disappeared in the blink of an eye. Sanniang, I will not allow you to get close to the second wife in the future. I will remember this hatred for the rest of my life. If you are still nice to them, then you are not my daughter."
Zhao Hanzhang agreed repeatedly and looked around anxiously.
Fu Tinghan invited his subordinates to search together. After turning over the corpses and injured people, they found no one.
Zhao Hanzhang was both happy and anxious, "It's good news that she hasn't been found. Let's go ahead first. She might have been trapped and moved forward."
Zhao Ju also said: "Sanniang, there is another group of people coming over there, it seems they are still a refugee army, let's leave quickly."
The crowd turned the bullock cart over, repaired it slightly, put the bullocks on it, and carried the coffin up.
The entire wheel of the carriage was broken and could not be repaired. Zhao Hanzhang helped Wang sit on the horse and asked Fu Tinghan to take Zhao Erlang to ride.
The group of people set off, hoping to avoid the refugee army that was still coming this way. When the common people saw it, they ignored their sadness, wiped away their tears and took their relatives to follow.
Following Zhao Hanzhang and others, they still have a chance to survive. If they fall behind, they will either join the refugee army or be killed.
After the group had walked out for a while, they saw a person staggering in the opposite direction. Zhao Hanzhang had sharp eyes and recognized her from a distance. He was overjoyed and said, "It's Qinggu!"
Qinggu also caught a glimpse of Zhao Hanzhang who was riding in the front. She couldn't help crying and laughing, and limped towards them.
Zhao Hanzhang kicked the horse's belly and went up to meet her. Just as he was about to jump off the horse to pick her up, Wang had already slid off the horse in advance and hugged Qing Gu. The two of them started crying.
Qinggu saw the blood all over Wang's body and couldn't help but touch her body, "Madam, where are you injured?"
Wang rolled up her sleeves, revealing the bruises on her wrists, "Look, those rough guys tried to catch me, and it hurt me so much."
Qinggu felt distressed, "We have ointment in our luggage. When we rest later, my slave will bring it to you and rub it in. It will be fine tomorrow."
Mrs. Wang also looked at her worriedly. Seeing that she was covered in mud and her clothes were torn, she hurriedly asked: "How did you do this?"
Qing Gu cried and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay. I went to beg the eldest lady and asked her to come back to rescue you and Erlang. But their carriage and horse were too fast and the rebels chased me. I was squeezed into the ditch. Wei.
I hit my feet and it took me a while to get up."
When she got up, she saw that everyone was gone, including the rebels. She was worried about Mr. Wang, so she limped back.
She was already mentally prepared to leave and never come back. Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang not only rescued the Wang family, but also brought back so many strong men, she was so happy that she whispered to Zhao Hanzhang: "Sanniang, let's go after the prince."
, can these parts still belong to us?”
She hinted: "Why don't we just turn around and go to Runan."
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at her approvingly and whispered: "I plan to do the same."
But I don't know what the situation is outside now. If there are too many rebels, they can't wander around outside, so we still need information.
Zhao Hanzhang pondered deeply, how could he get the news and also transfer all these parts to Runan?
The sky was getting dark, Zhao Hanzhang and the others caught up with them. She swept around and pointed to a relatively empty clearing and said: "Stop setting up camp and rest here tonight. Uncle Qianli, look ahead and see if you can find anything."
Can we find uncle and the others?"
Zhao Ju agreed, took two people and went down the road to search.
It was getting dark, and there were refugees sitting or paralyzing in the fields on both sides of the road. When they saw that Zhao Hanzhang and others had horses and swords, they all got up and moved away.
Zhao Ju led his people to search far away, but did not find Zhao Ji. Instead, he brought back Mr. Chen and his daughter. There was only a servant beside the father and daughter. When he saw Zhao Hanzhang, he was surprised and pulled his daughter up.
In front of him, he saluted repeatedly and said, "My dear niece, you are finally back. I know you are a lucky person and will be fine. You have returned safely."
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly and returned the greeting: "I'm sorry that Mr. Lao is in the way."
He glanced at the little girl beside him, with a hesitant look on his face, "Why are Shibo and his sister lagging behind? Where are brother Shi, aunt and the others? Can you see my uncle?"
She looked worried, "I don't know if they are still safe."
"Don't worry, niece Xian. They are running ahead and are safer than us. If they are faster, they should have caught up with the army by now."
Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."
Mr. Chen glanced at the strong men around her, and he was so greedy, "To be honest with my niece, my daughter and I were separated from our family, so we fell behind. It's getting late now, so we can only wait until tomorrow to set off. Although
It’s hard to ask, but I still have the audacity to ask. I wonder if niece Ming Rixian would like to give us a ride?”
Afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would refuse, he hurriedly said: "Niece, don't worry, my daughter and I are in good health and our walking speed is not slow. We can keep up with your pace."
"What did Shibo say? You and I have been neighbors for many years and have gotten along very well with each other. How dare we ignore this important matter of saving lives? Don't worry, I will definitely have someone send you to the army."
Mr. Chen was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Why, isn't niece Xian going?"
Zhao Hanzhang sighed, looked back at the coffin not far away and said: "Shibo also knows that my grandfather has left a last wish and wants his soul to return to his hometown. It is extremely unfortunate that he encountered the disaster of war every year. How can I return the favor?"
How can I ignore his last wish? So I decided to carry the coffin back to my hometown and let my grandfather rest in peace."
After spending the day together today, Mr. Chen already knew that she was a very courageous girl, but he still didn't expect that she could be so courageous and very filial. After thinking about it, he still reminded: "Then you have to be careful and try to avoid her."
Let's go to Yingchuan. I heard people said that there was a snowstorm in Yingchuan last year. It didn't rain again after spring this year, so refugees were everywhere. Many people became bandits and came out to beg for work with the refugee army. If you want to go to Runan, then
Take a detour from the front and go around Yingchuan."
This was something Zhao Hanzhang didn't know. She hurriedly asked: "Besides the refugee army, I wonder if the Huns will go south to pursue them?"
The refugee army could go around and abandon their wealth to save their lives, but they would be doomed if they encountered the Xiongnu army.
