Yan Wushuang Extra Episode (7)

As soon as Uncle Xu came back from the outside, he heard Xiao Wu say that Yan Wushuang had passed out.

"Why did Xiao Hei faint?" Xiao Hei was the name Uncle Xu gave Yan Wushuang.

Xiao Wu said with some guilt: "I told him that his adoptive mother was killed by Tong Chunlin." He has been very sad when he got the news, and urgently needs to find someone to talk to. Xu Bo, on the other hand, was obviously not a good person to confide in.

Many people in Shengjing fled outside, and there were many vacant houses. Uncle Xu took Yan Wushuang and Xiao Wu to hide in the cellar in the backyard of a large family. Originally, the family left behind the concierge and the wife who guarded the house. It's just that everyone is dying. Hearing the call from the Donghu people, the front-foot master's house left, and the back-foot concierge and mother-in-law also packed their things and ran to the countryside. If Donghu people come, they can still hide in the mountains in the countryside. But if it is in the city, it will be so unresponsive every day.

The cellar was poorly lit and poorly ventilated. But now it was night, Xu Bo half opened the entrance.

Light up the kerosene lamp with a torch, and the cellar is instantly lit up. Looking at Yan Wushuang, who was lying on the cotton wadding, looking gray and disfigured, Uncle Xu didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and pinched him. .

Yan Wushuang had never met Uncle Xu before, and when he woke up, he saw him asking vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Uncle Xu said: "I am the old Xu who is in charge of the warehouse in the Marshal's Mansion. Madam entrusted me to take you out of Shengjing."

Yan Wushuang knew that dragons and tigers were hidden in the marshal's mansion, so he didn't doubt the words: "Where is my mother? Where is my mother now?" When he said this, there was a look of pleading in his eyes.

Uncle Xu said calmly: "Madam has been killed by Tong Chunlin. Shen Dong and the others were all killed by Tong Chunlin. Even the servants who escaped were taken back by officers and soldiers." It is estimated that Mrs. Zhang also It would never have occurred to Concubine Song and the brothers of the Song family that they would not even let the marshal's servants go unnoticed.

Yan Wushuang grabbed Uncle Xu's clothes and asked, "Why? Why didn't you bring my mother out together." If his mother escaped with him, she would not die.

Uncle Xu separated Yan Wushuang's hands, and said softly, "Do you know why Tong Chunlin besieged the Marshal's mansion? Because the Hunjun listened to the slander and believed that the Donghu people were let in by the marshal, so he wanted to punish Yan's family. Madam didn't want the marshal to be burdened by the marshal. This kind of grievance, stayed and reprimanded Tong Chunlin, and told the truth about the fact that Tongcheng forced the Donghu people to enter the customs." He couldn't tell Yan Wushuang that Zhang stayed to protect her. In this way, Yan Wushuang will collapse.

He even slandered his father for letting Donghu people in, and the veins on Yan Wushuang's forehead burst out. In this world, there are still such shameless people.

Xiao Wu asked, "Uncle Xu, what is the truth?"

Xu Bo said lightly: "The truth is that Song Guifei and the Song brothers colluded with the Donghu people,

Letting them in killed the marshal. Then he beat him up, saying that the marshal was collaborating with the enemy and treason. "

"Why? Why are they doing this?"

Uncle Xu said: "Concubine Song not only wants to be a queen herself, she also wants her son to be a prince. The marshal is the biggest obstacle for her to realize her ambition. As long as the marshal is dead, the queen and the prince can easily live together and be deposed. "

Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth and said: "Concubine Song, Song Huaijin, Song Huaiyu..."

Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "No, young master, your biggest enemy is not the Song family siblings, but that stupid king. If he wasn't stupid and dishonest, the marshal wouldn't die, let alone be splashed with dirty water after he died. "

Xiao Wu was terrified when he heard this: "Uncle Xu, our adoptive father taught us to be loyal to the emperor and love our country..." But what Uncle Xu said clearly meant that they would oppose the emperor and the court. This is completely contrary to his education.

Uncle Xu interrupted him and said, "What do you do to be loyal to such a fatuous emperor? Do you want to guard Liaodong with all your heart like a marshal, and be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason after your death in battle?"

Xiao Wu was a little impatient, but he didn't know how to refute.

Yan Wushuang said word by word: "One day, I will take the heads of my father and mother as a memorial to my father and mother." Therefore, he will not let anyone involved in framing his family. He wants these people to pay in blood.

Xiao Wu was terrified when he heard that.

But Uncle Xu said very relieved: "Okay." He respected Marshal Yan very much, and admired his noble character. But this does not mean that he agrees with Marshal Yan's way of doing things.

If it were him, he would definitely hold Liaodong tightly in his hands and become the local emperor of Liaodong. If this is the case, even if the imperial court can't do anything to him, no matter how many schemes the Song family brothers and sisters have, they will not be able to succeed. It's a pity that Marshal Yan couldn't hear these words. So, he didn't say anything, just quietly guarding the warehouse.

Yan Wushuang hadn't eaten for three days and was very weak.

Xu Bo said: "Lie down, I'll make steamed buns for you to eat." Even though it was late at night, he didn't dare to cook. If there is smoke, it will attract officers and soldiers. So, he just boiled water with a small fire, and then soaked the buns he bought in boiling water to drink.

After eating a large bowl of steamed buns without taste, Yan Wushuang lay back on the cotton wool and asked, "Where did my mother ask you to take me?"

Xu Bo said: "Madam asked me to take you to Pingcheng to find your uncle." Yan Wushuang's uncle was the magistrate of Pingcheng.

Yan Wushuang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing his poor spirit, Uncle Xu said, "Master, take a good rest these few days to recover your spirits. If you are in a hurry, I will take you out of the city when the city gate is opened and the security is not so strict." Now that the city gate is closed, Don't even think about going out of town. However, it is impossible for this city gate to remain open forever.

Yan Wushuang hummed and closed his eyes.

After Uncle Xu and Xiao Wu left, Yan Wushuang opened his eyes and sat up. Looking at the flickering lights, Yan Wushuang's tears fell drop by drop. Parents and elder brothers are gone, and so are the beloved elders in the house. They were all dead, leaving him alone.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Yan Wushuang hurriedly wiped away her tears, then lay down and closed her eyes.

Xu Bo heard the sound just now, and knew that Yan Wushuang was not asleep. Sitting next to Yan Wushuang, he said softly, "Madam actually asked me to take you to Chuncheng to find Tang Xingping, the big shopkeeper of Eternal Life Trading Company."

"Tang Xingping?" He had never heard of this person.

Xu Bo said: "Since Madam explained, this person should be very reliable." Logically speaking, the Marshal's Mansion should not have anything to do with the big shopkeeper of a commercial firm. But since Mrs. Zhang gave such an order, there must be her reasons.

Yan Wushuang stared at him and said, "Why did you say you were going to Pingcheng to find my uncle?"

It's not that Mrs. Zhang can't trust her elder brother, but because of her relationship with relatives. People in the imperial court will definitely stare at his eldest brother. Yan Wushuang defected to him, tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

Uncle Xu didn't say anything, of course he had his reasons: "One more person who knows about it means one more danger."

Yan Wushuang didn't like Xu Bo's suspicion: "Xiao Wu grew up with me, I believe he will never betray me."

Uncle Xu felt that Yan Wushuang was still too immature, or that he was protected too well by the marshal and his wife: "Once Xiao Wu is arrested, he will probably confess this under torture. In this way, you will not even have the last way to escape. It's all gone."

Without waiting for Yan Wushuang to speak, Uncle Xu said, "Some punishments make life worse than death, even a tough hero can't bear it, let alone Xiao Wu is just a child."

Yan Wushuang said: "You don't have to say it." He didn't want to hide Xiao Wu, but he knew that Xu Bo was right. It is a long way to go to Chuncheng for hundreds of miles and the road officers and soldiers are chasing him again. The road is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be caught.

Uncle Xu said, "You asked him in front of him. If I don't tell you, what will he think?"

"Xiao Wu is not such a narrow-minded person."

Xu Bo didn't give an explanation for this, but said: "I have my reasons for doing this. Young master, it is for your own good and his own good, don't tell him about it."

Yan Wushuang is not stupid, Xu Bo said he went to Pingcheng to find his uncle, but he told Xiao Wu that he was actually going to Chuncheng to find Tang Xingping. This let Xiao Wu know that he would definitely have a problem with Xu Bo. The three of them can't be separated now.

On the second day, when Uncle Xu went out, he knew that the city gate was open. However, he didn't tell Yan Wushuang and Xiao Wu about this after he went back. Because he knew that the first few days when the city gate was opened was the time when the investigation was the most stringent, and there were even people secretly watching everyone who entered and exited. It will take some time to leave the city.

Three days after the city gate was opened, there was still no news from Yan Wushuang, which made Tong Chunlin a little annoyed.

Lian Guo said: "General, Yan Wushuang must have left the city. If he is in the city, we can't miss him." They searched three times, but they couldn't find anyone. .

Tong Chunlin shook his head and said: "Impossible, Yan Wushuang must still be in the city. There are many people who have been favored by the Yan family. Now Marshal Yan has only one drop of his blood left. These people will risk their lives to protect him." And this, It was also the reason for Tong Chunlin's irritability.

Lian Guo's complexion changed slightly: "General, I will lead my troops to search the city again."

Tong Chunlin nodded.

At this time, the guard outside reported that Eunuch Duan had come. Hearing this person, Tong Chunlin showed disgust.

After being beaten last time, Eunuch Duan was also afraid of Tong Chunlin. Ask Tong Chunlin before doing anything, and only dare to do it after getting his consent.

It was also Eunuch Duan's work to capture the maid who escaped from the Marshal's mansion. It's a pity that Ping'er and Xi'er, whom the Zhang family relied on the most, committed suicide, and others know little about it. So, no useful information was asked.

Tong Chunlin looked at Eunuch Duan and asked with a sullen face, "What's the matter?" He was very impatient to see Eunuch Duan now, it was this eunuch who made him unable to advance or retreat now.

Eunuch Duan said: "General, Yan Wushuang hasn't been found yet. Our family has an idea, and we can definitely lure Yan Wushuang out."

"explain."

Eunuch Duan's idea was to hang Zhang's body on the city wall: "General, I heard that Yan Wushuang is very filial. If he knew about this, he would definitely take the risk to collect the body."

Hanging Zhang's body on the city wall will not attract Yan Wushuang, but will make him hate him to the bone. In addition, it will cause public outrage. Tong Chunlin looked at Eunuch Duan like an idiot, and he didn't know how he got to his current position just because of his IQ.
