In the evening, in a small town called Qingqiao Town in Ruzhou, Lin Jue met up with the group of people who set off first. As early as early this morning, Guo Bing and his son traveled all night under the escort of more than a hundred guards.
, here we met the little princess and others. Guo Bing originally urged to hurry up, but the little princess and others refused to leave. I heard that an army of 50,000 people was chasing my husband and them, and my husband wanted to stop 50,000 people in Akicang Town.
The pace of the imperial army's advance made the little princess and others feel anxious.
The little princess said that if she wanted to leave, the prince and princess could leave first, but she would not leave. Her husband was blocking the enemy from behind. If something happened, she would have to go back to collect the body. She could not just leave. Although her husband meant to buy time for everyone to leave.
The son was able to escape for a while, but she decided to go against her husband's wishes.
Everyone also firmly agreed with the opinion of the little princess. Everyone had pessimistic thoughts in their hearts. Even if a few hundred people attacked an army of 50,000, it would be a disaster. If something happened to my husband, what would everyone do to escape? Accompany him.
Death is the right thing to do.
Even the princess agreed with the little princess's opinion. An angry Guo Bing scolded everyone for being stupid. At this time, his mother-in-law and mother were not decisive enough. But he was helpless. No one paid heed to his current order. Furthermore, there was a reason that he could not refuse. Guo Kun
The injury has worsened and you cannot continue on the road. You need to stop to recuperate or find someone to treat you. If you are bumpy again, the injury may worsen.
Therefore, when Lin Jue and others were fighting to the death in Akicang Town, the young princess, the prince and others did not leave Qingqiao Town for even half a step. Instead, they waited here to death.
When Lin Jue and other hundreds of riders arrived at the town facing the setting sun, exhausted and dusty from the journey, the Lin family's wives and concubines came to welcome Lin Jue with tears in their eyes at the main road at the entrance of the town.
I was angry and happy to see everyone. What I was angry about was that I thought everyone had arrived at Xiangcheng, fifty or sixty miles ahead. As a result, they didn't even enter Xiangcheng area and were still here in Ruzhou.
In a small town not far from the territory. But happily, although they were only separated for a few days, it was as long as ten or eight years. In the past few days, there have been fierce battles, several close calls, and almost
I said goodbye to my wives and concubines forever. Now I see them unscathed. It's like a dream, which makes people sigh.
All the wives and concubines also felt the same. They were separated for only more than three days, but these three days were so long and anxious that they made people crazy. Although they did not see all the dangers that Lin Jue experienced, they all understood that Lin Jue was in the capital.
What had he faced? It was simply incredible that my husband could escape from death and rush out with a large number of people.
The girls were beaming with joy and talked about what happened after they said goodbye. Lin Jue didn't want them to be frightened. When Qianqian asked, Lin Jue just said it simply and clearly, and omitted many scary parts, trying not to frighten them. But even so.
, after hearing the story of the escape, all the girls remained silent and sighed.
"I never expected that such a huge change would happen in the Zhou Dynasty overnight. Guo Xu is really not a human being. He killed his father and brother, and even the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong were not spared. He is really worse than a beast." The little princess sighed through gritted teeth.
All the girls nodded and scolded Guo Xu for his behavior as a beast. Lu Wu turned pale and silently turned away from the crowd and walked away. Lin Jue sighed, left the crowd and followed Lu Wu to the road.
In the willow forest nearby.
"Lv Wu, don't be sad." Lin Jue said softly behind Lu Wu.
Lu Wu turned around, her eyes filled with tears, and she suddenly threw herself into Lin Jue's arms and began to cry.
"Although...even though I haven't been in contact with them for a long time,...they are always my biological parents." Lu Wu sobbed.
Lin Jue wiped her tears and said softly: "I understand that flesh and blood are connected to the heart. No matter how distant we are, the love of flesh and blood cannot be separated. What's more, the emperor and Concubine Rong have taken us very seriously. I understand your mood.
Lu Wu, don't be sad, I couldn't rescue your parents, and I feel very guilty in my heart."
Lu Wu shook his head and said: "That's none of your business. The thief Guo Xu is worse than a beast and has a murderous nature. Who would have thought that he would not even let his father and brother go? Besides, our self-protection is not enough in this situation.
How can you save people? This matter has nothing to do with you."
Lin Jue sighed and said: "You are always so considerate. In the past few days, I have actually felt very guilty. It was because I underestimated the whole thing. If I had noticed Guo Xu's ambition and the traitor around the emperor earlier,
If I had taken precautions in advance, things might not be so bad. In short, I feel really guilty in my heart. But Lu Wu, I promise you, I will definitely kill Guo Xu and Lu Zhongtian, and I will definitely avenge the emperor and Concubine Rong. I
I only make this promise to you, not to anyone or anything."
Lu Wu said softly: "He is the emperor now, how can you kill him?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Things in this world are ever-changing and no one can predict them. Just like us, we were living a comfortable life in the capital a few days ago, but now we are no longer on the run? Guo Xu has now seized the throne. Look,
It seems that the scenery is the same for a while, but who can guarantee that he will not fall into our hands in the future. Moreover, with Guo Xu's temper, he will have to make a lot of troubles after he ascends the throne. I am afraid that there will never be a peaceful life in the world. I am really worried.
very."
Lu Wu said softly: "I don't understand any of this, and I don't want you to take risks to avenge me. It's better for us to rush to Luoyan Valley and settle down. As for whether the young master should be an official or not, Lu Wu is not interested at all. As long as
As long as I can stay with you, I can do whatever I want."
Lin Jue hugged Lu Wu tightly and sighed softly: "Yes, as long as we can be together, it will be fine, as long as everyone is safe. I don't want to live a life of wandering and fighting, but the trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping.
, things in this world are always difficult to satisfy. But no matter what, we are together, and I will not let you get hurt."
Lin Jue brought Lu Wu back to the crowd. Fang Huanqiu and his wife came over. Both mother and daughter saluted Lin Jue. Lin Jue was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Fang Huanqiu said: "Senior brother killed that thief Wu Chunlai. My father will be able to rest in peace. My mother and I were very happy after hearing about it."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "So that's what happened. Wu Chunlai deserved his death and he should have died a long time ago. Master, are you happy that the evildoer is going to kill him?"
Mrs. Fang nodded and said with a smile: "Why are you unhappy? When my husband was alive, the biggest regret in my heart was that he taught Wu Chunlai, an unscrupulous person. If you clean up the house for him, he can go away clean. Husband is in Quan
It’s time to rest in peace.”
Lin Jue nodded
Said: "Not only Wu Chunlai, but all those who harmed Mr. must die. Only death can forgive their sins. This is the oath I made after Mr.'s death. My wife is also a witness."
Mrs. Fang sighed: "Lin Jue, the most right thing your husband has done in his life is to accept you as his closed disciple. Mrs. Fang thanks you for everything you have done."
Lin Jue hurriedly smiled and said: "Master's wife is obviously an outsider. Are we still outsiders? Why do we need to say such things?"
Mrs. Fang nodded and said, "That's right. When Huanqiu's one-year mourning period expires, you will marry her. Mrs. Fang has settled her worries, Huanqiu has settled her wish, and your husband will feel at ease. We are all a family. Already."
Fang Huanqiu blushed and said in a low voice: "Mom, why are you talking about these things at this time? Really."
Lin Jue laughed, but after Huanqiu said this, Lin Jue also thought of business. This was not the time for joking.
Lin Jue summoned everyone to discuss the situation at hand in the willow forest by the roadside. Lin Jue expressed his own views on the situation in front of him.
"Everyone, although we successfully blocked the pursuit of the army in Akacang Town, the situation is still very serious. The soldiers and horses from the rear must be following. And I am not only worried about the soldiers and horses in the rear, I am worried about the soldiers in the front. Ma. Qingqiao Town where we are located is still 150 miles away from Funiu Mountain, and this is already within the territory of Ruzhou. I think Lu Zhongtian must have informed the defenders of Ruzhou and the nearby Caizhou of Tangzhou. The soldiers in Dengzhou and other places must have also received orders. As expected, they will all be dispatched to participate in the containment of us. The current situation is that we have blocking soldiers in front of us and chasing enemies behind us. It can be said that the situation is full of crises. There is no room for optimism. Every moment we delay here, a large number of enemy troops will get closer. Therefore, everyone must have a clear understanding."
As Lin Jue spoke, he used branches to draw shapes on the ground. The situation was clear at a glance.
"Brother Lin is right. It's okay for us to stay here. The reason why we desperately blocked Lu Zhongtian's pursuers in Akicang Town was because we hoped that the large group of troops could go further. As a result, you are here. This But a lot of time has been wasted. Now there are hundreds of women and children, hundreds of heavy vehicles, and they can move like a tortoise. It will take years and months to reach the destination. Oh, it’s really a headache." Ma Bin said loudly. .
The little princess stood up and saluted you all and said: "It's my fault. It's because I didn't know what to do and didn't act according to your husband's instructions and insisted on staying here waiting for you. I apologize to all my brothers and uncles. But we really can't leave. We have to Without news from you, we feel uneasy and cannot leave."
Shen Tan waved his hand and said: "My lord, there is no need to apologize. In fact, getting together is not necessarily a bad thing. As Jun Ma said, the soldiers and horses from Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Ruzhou and Caizhou will definitely surround us after getting the news. If we go forward rashly, we will encounter If they are caught by them, it will be all over. Without Lu Zhongtian's imperial army to attack, we will have to be coerced into surrendering. So in my opinion, what the princess did was a prudent thing. Let's go together. , we can have someone take care of us to avoid the situation where family members, women and children are kidnapped.”
Ma Bin said: "That is true, that situation is even worse. But it is also very troublesome now. Brother Lin, what are your plans?"
