Chapter 169 It's a pity to choose to die
"Walk half a li along the official road, and then leave the official road and go northwest for about half a miles. You will see a village. There are about a dozen families in the village. Don't disturb the villagers. Enter the village directly from the east entrance of the village, cross the village, and come to the west entrance of the village. There is a stream under the wooden bridge at the west entrance of the village. Go upstream along the stream. When When you meet a small mill half hanging on the stream, you will turn to the east. There is no way east for a messy forest slope. However, you can go up the mountain. If you enter the mountain, you will find a place to hide. Ten days later, you can go to the small mill to have a look. As long as the door of the mill is tied with red silk, you can go down the mountain. On the contrary, if it is white. If you have silk, you still need to hide in the mountains for a few days, but you must remember that when you go up the stream, don't run along the west coast. You must take off your shoes and socks, go into the water into the stream, and wear shoes and socks again when the small mill folds the shore, otherwise it will not play the role of confusing the direction of pursuit." Lang Dingyuan said in a letter to Li Ren, so Detailed and detailed advice.
When Li Ren thought about it, he really saw a path away from the official road. Unconsciously, he was refreshed and ran with all his strength. In fact, Li Ren knows that because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Li, Li's party has too many grievances and has made enemies. Even if his father Li Jin is still alive, although he may not be killed by everyone, it will almost be like a mouse crossing the street and panicked all day long. Who is willing to help them? Because he knew, Li Ren made up his mind from the beginning. Who could help him and avenge his parents who were killed by Lou Xun? His own life was willing. He had not changed this determination and would not change. However, Li Ren never expected that even if he was willing to break the kettle, he still failed to achieve his long-cherished wish. He only took his own life for nothing.
"Dad, our father and son have misread Lang Dingyuan." Li Ren looked up to the sky and sighed on the cliffs of the mountain. "But it doesn't matter. Dad, mother, the child will come to accompany you. In the future, our whole family will always be together, and you will no longer feel lonely underground." After saying that, Li Ren looked back and was slowly forcing The forbidden guards who came up to surround him.
Originally, everything was no different from what Lang Dingyuan told in his letter. He only climbed over the messy forest slope. It was not a road that could go up the mountain to hide in the mountain, but a cliff. There was neither a way to escape nor a way back.
To put it bluntly, I still believe in Lang Dingyuan too much. Because he fled in a hurry all the way, Li Ren didn't even have time to judge the terrain he entered. In fact, the real way to enter the mountain should be to run all the way up the stream. Unfortunately, it is useless to regret it at this time. Li Ren smiled contemptuously at the shaking figures. He was not afraid of death and did not hate Lang Dingyuan's betrayal. He just regretted that as a son of man, he failed to pay off blood debts for his tragically dead parents. As a husband, he will no longer be able to take care of Zhen Mei and Yaner.
The sky can't open its eyes, even if it's dead, it can't fall into the hands of Lou Xun. Li Ren took a deep breath and jumped off the wall.
"Cousin Ren!" Zhen Mei's sobbing and tearful face appeared in front of Li Ren's eyes.
"Cousin Ren, don't leave me, don't leave me alone!" At the moment when Li Ren fell, he seemed to see Zhen Mei stretching out his hand to him.
"I only have one relative, cousin Ren!" Zhen Mei in the phantom lost her voice and cried bitterly.
"Mier...!" Li Ren roared like a beast in despair.
"I actually jumped off the cliff, ah!" The commander of the imperial garrison scolded an an anxious, "If you want to jump, you can jump early. I have been chasing you for most of the night, so you gave me this hand. Search for me left and right! Search around me carefully to see if there are any of his friends hiding here." The leader was full of fire and shouted very unwillingly, "In addition, find some more people to go down for me to see if he is dead."
"This...how does this go down?" The two guards stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The knife-like mountain wall was bald and there was no place for hands and feet to climb, and the black abyss of white fog floated under the mountain wall, as if they were opening their mouths to devour every unfortunate person who fell. The two guards shrank their bodies inwardly to their heads. Ling said, "Can we still have a life if we fall down like this? I think it's okay if we don't go down. If we are really worried, we can wait until dawn, let's go to the foot of the mountain to see if there is any other way. If we can go around under this cliff, isn't it much more convenient than looking for it in the black light now?"
"Humph!" Yu, the commander of the guard, was so angry that he wanted to say something more. Suddenly, he heard that someone was climbing up at the bottom of the mountain and reported to him, "The commander, the little mill, a woman has been found in the little mill!"
The leader was shocked and quickly led his subordinates down the mountain. They were busy chasing the assassins before and did not notice that there were still people in the mill. However, when they searched at this time, they really found a person. The leader couldn't help getting excited again. At least he caught someone, so that he could go back to the emperor.
The woman was dressed in black from head to toe and was tied to a pillar in the mill. Seeing the guards of the forbidden army, her eyes widened in horror and trembling all over.
The leader pulled off the woman's face and covered the thin black veil on half of her face. At this time, he saw that the other party was actually an old woman. The leader thought it was unlucky, but he caught such a thing for a long time. So he came forward and slapped the old woman viciously in the face. "Say, what does the assassin have to do with you? Do you have any other associates?"
The woman was slapped by him and almost fainted. Naturally, she couldn't answer a word.
He led a posture that he would never give up. He suddenly grabbed the woman's hair again and shook the other party hard. "Do you think so? Don't pretend to be dead. Let me tell you, if you don't tell me honestly, there are still a hundred kinds of torture waiting for you, so that you will live worse than death!"
The woman was pulled in pain and cried and moaned, "I, I don't know any assassins. I've been tied here for three days. Master, please, help me!"
"Save you? It's quite good to pretend!" The leader smiled strangely and said, "Then tell me, who tied you here, and why did you tie you here?"
"They, they are the masterpieces of the State of Wu. They say they want to threaten the emperor with me. Please, my lord, if you don't save me, I will die here!"
The woman's words stunned the leader. He and his subordinates looked at each other and suddenly burst into a long laugh, "Use you to threaten the emperor? Joke, this is really the biggest joke I've heard today. What's your name? Can you, an old and ugly woman, still threaten the emperor?" After saying that, the leader pulled the woman's hair hard.
"I'm Ning Tanger, I'm Ning Tanger!" The woman couldn't stand the pain and cried louder, "Please, take me to see your emperor?"
"Ning Tanger?" The leader's eyelids jumped and frowned.
"Look at her face, boss!" The subordinates beside him pointed at the woman in surprise.
The leader loosened the woman's hair, clamped the woman's jaw with one hand, and raised her face to the light. It was really strange. The leader stared at the woman. The wrinkled face, his slap in the face just now was very heavy. According to common sense, ordinary people's cheeks would not crack. At least there will be deep finger marks, but this old face is almost unresponsive, not even half a mark.
The leader stared suspiciously for a long time, and then ignored the woman's panic. He explored her head, neck and jaw with his other hand. Finally, he let go of the woman and ordered her subordinates word by word, "Take her away and we will go back to the palace immediately."
In the palace, Lou Xun sat on a wide dragon chair, holding a woman in her arms. The woman snuggled up to him tightly, while her fingers were still boringly rolling up her forehead hanging hair. Lou Xun gently patted her on the shoulder, took a sip of hot tea lazily, and then leaned her body on the back of the chair lazily and narrowed slightly. He sewed his eyes and stared at Lang Dingyuan, who was leaning to the ground, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"The words of returning to the emperor", although Lang Dingyuan crawled and did not look up, his tone was still cold and calm. "Two days ago, a man who claimed to be He Ning ran to the Hu Ben camp to find the old minister, saying that he was transmitting a letter to an old friend of the old minister. The old minister knew that this friend had surrendered. Wu quietly accepted the letter first, and then invited He Ning to drink a cup of tea. In the process of tea, He Ning was surprised and encouraged him to persuade the old minister to surrender Wu. The old minister refused to argue with him, expelled him from the Hu Ben camp, and asked him to tell the old friend of the old minister. The duty of the old minister was It is to ensure the safety of the Beijing Normal University and the stability of the Beijing Normal University. How can they be allied with the tiger? Unexpectedly, He Ning was annoyed and threatened that the State of Wu had been prepared in the capital, and they alone could take the emperor's head.
"My head? Zhuo Yuanle, this bastard!" Lou Xun slapped the table angrily when he heard the words and turned the tea cup to the ground. A palace man was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground and picked it up.
The woman in Lou Xun's arms got up at this time, put her arms around Lou Xun's neck, and said coquettishly, "Oh, your Majesty, don't be angry. The people of the Zhuo family are all homeless dogs. Naturally, they bark everywhere. Why do you have to see like them?"
"Humph!" Lou Xun's cold face pulled down the woman's hand abruptly. "Don't make trouble. I still have something to do. Why don't you go back to the harem to rest first?"
"No, Your Majesty, I just want to accompany the emperor here and guard the emperor." Shuanger is coquettish and cheating. She pulls Lou Xun's sleeve but refuses to leave. "Ok, your Majesty, it's the worst thing is that I won't interrupt. What's more, if it's not for the emperor, you can make a coincidence. Even my concubine will die under the assassin's sword. It doesn't matter if my concubine dies, but there is no one around the emperor. The assassin deserves to die. I also want to hear what's going on and help the emperor figure out the context.
"Ok, okay, if you want to stay, just stay." Lou Xun pulled his sleeves impatiently. "Then you can only listen to it. When I didn't ask you, don't many mouths know?"
"Yes, thank you, emperor." Shuang'er was relieved and sat aside honestly this time.
Lou Xun turned around, pinched a letter on the table on his left hand, and shook to Lang Dingyuan and said, "Is this the letter you are talking about?"
Lang Dingyuan looked up and then bent down again, "If you go back to the emperor, this is the one."
Lou Xun thought for a moment and said, "Mou Kun, it seems that Mou Kun is indeed a great general brought out of your Hu Ben camp."
"This son is not talented, he is not angry!" Lang Dingyuan said lightly.
