Chapter 208
We are both fallen people from the end of the world
Although Xiao Zhuo has judged the current situation for himself, Shen Yuexi is still a little worried.
What did Maipu think of the second prince's call for the world to resist Emperor Yongde? Now that the decisive battle between Xiao Zhuo and the Jingzhou Army was about to begin, she didn't want to have a fire at home.
Ma Pu is now leading the army as Nanping's second line of defense to defend against Xiao Beiheng in the north. If Nanping is in a tight situation, his Xiliang army will go to support it, which can be regarded as Nanping's reinforcements.
If something happens to him, whether it is Xirong's attack or Xiao Beiheng's attack, Xiao Zhuo will face a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides.
She returned to Leshan from the front line and went to see Ma Pu first.
Going into battle was not something she, a weak woman, could do, but she could still help Xiao Zhuo sort out things at the rear.
Maple gave her a big reassurance.
"Xiao Zhuo saved my life and my father's life, and now he helps our Mei family fight against the Jingzhou army," Maip said without any hesitation, "Our Mei family and Jingzhou have sworn hatred. If Xiao Zhuo defeated the Jingzhou army, and I will obey my father's order and hand over Xiliang."
When Shen Yuexi saw that others were talking about this, she didn't have to worry.
The so-called Jun has no joke. After the death of Meicheng, the king of Xiliang, Meipu is now the lord of Xiliang. Although Meicheng said that he would give Xiliang to Xiao Zhuo, but the premise is that Xiao Zhuo avenges the Mei family and wipes out Jingzhou. Maipu is now Reaffirming her vows without any hesitation, she had nothing to worry about.
Everything went according to plan, and Shen Yuexi started thinking about Shen Lan.
This cousin had a bad impression in my memory. To be honest, I didn’t particularly want to save her. After all, the original owner had a very cold relationship with her. He had never had any contact with her since he came here. To say it was worse than Xiao Xiao’s. Zhuo's cousin Li Wan is very close to her. It's just that she agreed to Xiao Zhuo before, so she reluctantly helped her.
She called Qiang Lin and told him about rescuing Shen Lan from Yongwei.
Qiang Lin shook his head like a rattle: "Master, I can't handle this."
It was the first time that Shen Yuexi saw Qiang Lin rejecting her proposal so straightforwardly, so she asked why.
"Your sister is already married to Xiao Kai. Let's rescue her? What's going on? Since she was married to Xiao Kai, she died together with Xiao Kai when the city was destroyed. That was the ending she deserved. "
"Ah, you mean that if her husband dies, she will die with him?"
Qiang Lin looked at Shen Yuexi strangely: "Master, aren't you Yan people like this? If she marries a man, no matter what her husband is like, she can't leave. Even if her husband dies, she can't leave." She cannot remarry. If she takes the initiative to leave her husband, she will be reviled and despised."
"Uh...even if she was forced to have that man by her parents?"
"That's right," Qiang Lin said, "If we save her, we will harm her. She can't live without Xiao Kai."
Shen Yuexi muttered in her heart: The imprisonment of women in ancient times was really cruel. No matter whether you like a man or not, once you marry him, you can never leave him again.
But Xiao Zhuo is also an ancient person, and his thoughts are like this. But he still asked her to save Shen Lan.
"Master, I understand what King Zhao means," Qiang Lin said, "If he wants to attack Yongwei, Master, your sister is there. If he doesn't attack Yongwei, your sister will die in the chaos... King Zhao is mainly afraid This will become a hidden danger. Once the master thinks of it in the future..."
"Oh, I understand, I understand." Shen Yuexi nodded.
Xiao Zhuo was afraid that it would affect the relationship between husband and wife, so he asked her to do this.
Hey, Xiao Zhuo didn't know that she wouldn't be sad if Shen Lan died. They were strangers to each other in the first place.
But if she ran to Xiao Zhuo and explained that it was okay, it was okay even if her sister died. It would also appear that she was too inhumane. She didn’t like to put such a label on herself. In addition, she had already agreed to Xiao Zhuo, so she still continued to It’s good to keep doing this.
"Qiang Lin, you should do this for me." She persuaded him nicely.
Qiang Lin said: "Master, there is no need to plead. Qiang Lin will do whatever you ask Qiang Lin to do. He just needs to explain to the master how powerful he is. Since the master insists, I will leave now."
"You just need to rescue her before attacking the city. If the city is breached and Xiao Kai escapes, you can send her back."
Shen Yuexi wrote another letter to Shen Lan. She held the brush and stroked it one by one, with beads of sweat covering her forehead, and finally finished it.
The letter said that the people who were going were sent by her younger sister Shen Yuexi. She felt free to leave with them so that she could save her life if the city was broken and the army was defeated. After she settled down, she would be reunited with Xiao Kai.
Qiang Lin took the letter and left.
Two days later, when Shen Yuexi and Li Wan were using twigs to scratch the cats basking in the yard, Qiang Lin came back.
When he came back, he called Shen Yuexi to a deserted place, knelt down and said, "Master, I failed."
"Ah, is the Jingzhou Army's defense too tight and you can't get in?" Seeing the apology on his face, Shen Yuexi thought it was because Yongwei's defense was too tight and the secret guards couldn't get in, "Get up, I don't blame you. "
"No, I saw your sister." Qiang Lin stood up and said, "I also showed her your letter, but she refused to come with us."
"Don't want to leave?"
Qiang Lin said: "Yes, Master. Shen Lan refused to come with us. She asked me to relay a few words to Master. The following are her original words."
"explain."
"Sister, let's not talk about past grievances. You and I are both poor people who were sent away by the Duke's government as a self-protection item."
After hearing this, Shen Yuexi remained silent.
This is indeed the case. She and Shen Lan were both forcibly sent out by the Duke's Mansion. No one asked about their wishes or what they thought. She was given to Xiao Zhuo, and Shen Lan was given to Xiao Kai.
Qiang Lin continued: "...My sister has been exiled with Xiao Zhuo for so long, and she must have suffered a lot. Now things are bright and clear, Xiao Zhuo has been crowned king, and my sister can live a good life. That day when we met at the inn, it's not that I didn't recognize you. Jingzhou The army is about to attack Xiliang. If we recognize each other, it will only bring danger to you, my sister. I am Xiao Kai's wife, and my life is no longer up to me. The day Yongwei City is destroyed will be the day I am freed."
Time of liberation?
Shen Yuexi's heart moved, she raised her eyes and said to Qiang Lin, "Why did she say that?"
Qiang Lin said: "I didn't know this at first, but later Prince Jing's Crown Prince Xiao Kai came back, and we left. I was not far away at that time, but when I heard Xiao Kai...beating and scolding your sister, I turned back." go back."
"Xiao Kai is beating and scolding my sister?" Shen Yuexi said in surprise.
"Yes, I know it from their conversation. When Zhuzi's sister married Xiao Kai, she was beaten, scolded and abused by Xiao Kai almost every day. Her whole body was covered with injuries. Many times, old injuries were added before they healed. Xinsheng. After my subordinates learned the news, they left Yongwei and came back to report to the master."
Xiao Kai is a scumbag!
Shen Yuexi broke the small branch in his hand in half.
She thought that her sister's following Xiao Kai was the same as her following Xiao Zhuo. Although she was forced to come here, she met a man worth trusting her for life.
When they first met at Longsheng Inn, Doctor Hua said that her sister Shen Lan seemed to be injured, but she didn't take it seriously.
There are so many scumbag men in the world. It seems that I am just lucky. My sister Shen Lan is so pitiful. She was forced to marry a man she had never liked, and she was abused by that man day and night.
No, she must rescue her sister. Qiang Lin can't, she will go there herself.
