Chapter 332: Looking for Someone

The group of six people didn't waste any time on the road and headed straight north.

In addition to Siyuan Siyuan and Xiaodouzi, there is also a man named Zhang Yong who is very powerful in martial arts. I heard he is a sharp archer.

There was another one, the leopard that Su Qingyu hadn’t seen for a long time.

Huabao is now following Ma Mingwen. He fights bravely on the battlefield and is not afraid of death. He is very valued by Ma Mingwen.

This time I was also thinking about his past experiences and knew that he had some clever tricks and tricks that I was afraid Su Qing would use on her journey to concubine. So let the leopard follow.

"You're following my godfather and you've already been promoted. Don't you want to bring your mother over to enjoy the blessings with you?" Su Qingyu teased him.

Hua Bao scratched his head: "We have only settled down in Vietnam in the past few months. We were running around here and there before, so we couldn't care less about it. We brought my mother here because, firstly, there was no one to take care of her, and secondly, I was afraid of her. Not adaptable.”

Su Qingyu still remembered what he said, to make great achievements and return home in fine clothes to see his mother.

"And I don't even know if my mother is still alive. Sister, have you sent a letter back to your hometown?"

"My father sent a letter back, but he didn't receive a reply."

"Hey, maybe my mother even thinks I'm gone."

After hearing this, Zhang Yong said: "Forget it, there is still an old lady for you to worry about. My family members are all dead, and I am the only one left naked."

Siyuan Siyuan seemed to have found a soulmate: "So did we. We both still watched our family members die in front of our eyes. If it hadn't been for being saved by the King of Yue, we wouldn't be where we are today.

"Yes, the King of Yue has been kind to us."

The men became familiar with each other instantly.

Along the way, everyone pretended to be brothers and sisters looking for relatives, carefully avoiding people and heading north.

After leaving the territory under the jurisdiction of the King of Yue, we slowly saw some homeless and hungry people on the road. The further north you go, the more down-and-out people you see on the road.

They have dressed very low-key, just like ordinary people.

But they are still different from the ordinary people who have patches on their bodies and look disgraced.

As they walked, everyone was looking at them.

Many people came around to beg them for food and money.

It startled the six of them.

I didn't dare to walk on the main road, so I took the narrow paths.

Su Qingyu was in a daze. Ever since she entered the mountains, she had food, drink, and a warm house to live in. She thought the world had become better.

When I came out, I saw that the world was even more chaotic.

It was even worse than when she escaped from Fengting Town with her family.

After crossing the Huaihe River, the road became even more chaotic.

From time to time, I saw a corpse lying on the road, which was beyond recognition.

Su Qingyu was so frightened that she didn't even dare to look.

There were many bandits blocking the road along the way. Fortunately, Zhang Yong and others were here, and their hands and feet were very powerful, and they were solved in a few clicks.

Su Qingyu's heart beat violently.

She was afraid that if something happened to her, what would Xiaobao do? What if she really became a child without a father and a mother.

On this day, a group of people missed Sutou and slept in the wild.

The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.

Everyone gathered some firewood and lit a fire to keep warm.

"Miss, are we still going to Fengxiang?" Siyuan asked her.

Along the way, the farther north you go, the portraits of Cui Sheng and Lu Bocheng hang everywhere.

Many people who didn't know the truth threw things at their images when they heard that the two of them had abandoned the city and fled, ignoring tens of thousands of soldiers. The two images were covered in dirt.

Su Qingyu felt very sad.

She knew that Lu Bocheng was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

He has been in the army for five years. If he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would have found a way to escape back.

It was Wu Quanzhong who came to the throne. He didn't want to bear the taint of the massacre, so he framed the blame on the two of them and let them take the blame.

"Miss, the security becomes tighter as we go north. Even if General Lu is still alive, we won't know where to look for him once he hides."

"Fengxiang has killed so many of his brothers, so he will definitely have some contact with it. And Fengxiang is not far from the capital. Let's quietly go to the Cui family to find out if there is any news about Marshal Cui."

After going through many hardships, the group finally arrived in the capital Chang'an.

Outside the city of Chang'an there were people dying of hunger, but inside the city of Chang'an there was prosperity visible to the naked eye, with people singing and dancing in peace.

The streets seemed unaffected by the change of dynasties. There were many shops, shop flags were flying, and pedestrians strolled leisurely.

There is not a single beggar to be found on the street.

Su Qingyu thought of the ragged people wandering outside the city gate and let out a long sigh.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, if he doesn't want to see it, his subordinates will naturally stop him from showing up.

The group found an inn, stayed there, and began to inquire for news.

Inn prices are shockingly expensive.

A room with one bed costs two taels of silver per night. The middle room with two beds costs 20,000 yuan.

They were still looking for an ordinary inn.

The price was so expensive that Siyuan and others were stunned.

After settling in, the next day, the six people divided into two groups to inquire about the Cui family.

After asking around for a few days, I discovered that the Cui family's house in Chang'an had been vacated long ago. Even the general branches and side branches were moved cleanly. I don’t know if he escaped or was liquidated by the new emperor.

Su Qingnao wanted to inquire about the married daughter of the Cui family, but she didn't expect everyone's expressions to change.

I can't even hear the name Cui Sheng.

Su Qingnao had no choice but to hold back for fear of disturbing the situation.

Finally, Hua Bao used his previous experience in the market to inquire about the ancestral graves of the Cui family.

I heard that there have been servants guarding graves for generations.

The group of people went over to find out.

Unexpectedly, when they got there, they saw only graves and the gravekeepers' houses were all smashed.

They searched around and found that no one had lived there for a long time.

They stayed there for most of the day and searched for most of the day, but had no choice but to return to Chang'an City.

Su Qingmei couldn't help but feel disappointed.

They had been out for a month, and there was no news at all. Maybe they were really dead.

Maybe Wu Quanzhong just wanted to find a random name to pretend and let them take the blame.

Huabao ran out for a few days. When he returned to the inn that day, he said to Su Qingmei mysteriously: "Sister, guess what I found out today?"

"What?" Su Qingmei was a little surprised and looked at him with a little expectation.

Others also gathered around.

"I heard that the Fengxiang army was not completely killed, and 10,000 elite soldiers escaped with the princes and princesses."

"Ah?"

"The new emperor must have thought that Marshal Cui and General Lu had hidden the princes and princesses, and wanted to find them, and then..." He made a killing gesture.

"But I heard that Wu Quanzhong made the Shuo Emperor who abdicated the throne the King of Jiyin, and asked him to take the remaining princesses and princes to Caozhou?"

Huabao looked at the door, leaned his head closer, and whispered: "I heard that not long after the talent arrived in Huaiyin, Wu Quanzhong sent someone to give him poisoned wine, and he... poisoned him to death."

"Ah. Who told you that?" Everyone was shocked.

He had already won the throne, but he demoted people to remote places, and he also poisoned them to death?

"I asked around and it seems like a lot of people know about it, but no one dares to tell anyone. But the fact that the last emperor died can't be concealed."

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat. Wu Quanzhong was so ruthless, could Lü Bocheng have already...

No, no, he must still be alive.
