So I play chess

Chapter 16 Tongcheng Prefect
Wen Liang didn't believe Wen Gu's words, but since the eldest lady didn't want to talk about it now, he didn't have to ask.

Taking the risk and reaching this step, at most, it can be regarded as halfway, and it is not just a coincidence that there is no mistake in the halfway.

It's not too late to inquire after the Liangzhou army has settled down, so let's focus on the present first.

Wen Liang called someone in and dragged out the corpses one by one.

Yang Wantang would never have imagined that he was a nobleman during his lifetime, but he would lie in a pile with his servants after his death.

The spring rain has not stopped outside, and the sky is still cloudy.The candlelight in the hall also seemed to be a little darker, and the bloody smell did not dissipate because the corpses were dragged out, but it seemed a little more weird.

After finishing all this work, Wen Gu looked at Liu Shi, as if he just remembered her just now.

Mrs. Liu was terrified at first, and had been sitting there frozen and motionless. Seeing Wen Gu looking at her, she took a lot of effort to get down from the chair, and knelt and crawled to Wen Gu's feet like Yang Wantang, fearing that something would happen to her. She was so disgusted that she didn't dare to grab her with her hands, and just fell on the ground like this.He begged in a trembling voice: "Miss Wen, I don't know about them. They always keep it from me. Even if they tell me, I dare not speak."

Mrs. Liu didn't know what Wen Gu was thinking, she lost her sense of balance in front of life and death, and her words became blurred.

Wen Gu's eyes were lost for a moment, she had already confirmed the news of her brother's death in the past cycle.But this time is different after all, she has the ability to change the fate of Liangzhou Army.

Wen Gu didn't speak, and Liu Shi didn't dare to move.

"Your son, when did you leave Tongcheng?" Wen Gu's voice was very soft, but Liu could hear it clearly.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Half a month ago, yes, it was February [-]th!"

Liu Shi did not dare to raise her head after speaking, and after a long time, Wen Gu asked again: "At that time, was my brother still alive?"

Mrs. Liu was shocked, Miss Wen's question asked Master Yang and Mrs. Gu, they were all dead, and now she was asked about it.Liu fell on the ground sobbing, not daring to say a word.

There seemed to be no sullen emotion in Wen Gu's tone: "Just say it."

Liu Shi gritted her teeth, kowtowed a few times, and the words burst out together with crying: "Young master, two days before our young master left, already...already..."

Liu Shi never dared to say that word, but kept kowtow.

"Uncle Wen, what day is it when I read the letter?" Wen Gu lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Wen Liang thought for a while, then replied in a low voice: "The first day of March."

"It's too late anyway." Wen Gu muttered softly.

She survived, Liang Zhoujun survived, but her younger brother couldn't survive.

The hope of revisiting the past has been exhausted in the first few cycles. At this time, it is just a fluke for the variables. Although it is sad, it is not distraught anymore.

Wen Gu asked Zhixia to help Mrs. Liu up: "You have no children, how will you live in the future?"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback by the question, and cried, "I can wash, and I can also do needlework, but Mrs. Gu has always only used me as a rough servant girl. I can do all these things. As long as I can live... I can do anything." .”

Wen Gu didn't care whether Liu's words were true or not, as she had already done what she had to do.

"Yeah, it's good to be alive." Wen Gu sighed, "I'm going to repair this house. If you're not afraid, you can stay here."

……

At this time, the western suburbs of Tongcheng.

A group of carriages and horses were slowly moving along the small road. Tongcheng prefect Liu Zhu led a hundred of relatives and servants to press more than [-] carriages and headed westward.The carriage was covered with layers of oilcloth, for fear that people would see the contents inside, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were moving with their property and family.

It's quite a deceptive taste.

Liu Zhu sat triumphantly on the tall horse, swaying with the bumps of the mount, and after walking for a day, his face showed no signs of fatigue, and he was even a little excited.

Although he had been the prefect in Tongcheng for several years, he lived under Yang Wantang's nose every day, like walking on eggshells, so he was not as comfortable as this.

This is not fleeing, this is heading towards the place where the moon is shining.

"My lord, thanks to your foresight, you bought a house in Yongzhou in advance, otherwise, we wouldn't know where we would go." The housekeeper came up and said cheerfully.

"In troubled times, you have to see clearly. Whoever makes plans early will live a long life." Liu said with a smile halfway through, sipped his mouth, and raised his horsewhip at the housekeeper, as if to beat him, "You say again One word escape, and I will let you get out and escape by yourself."

"Yes, yes, yes." The butler cooperated with Liu Zhu's movement and dodged for a while, and even claimed yes with a smile.

Liu Zhu didn't care, and cupped his hands towards the sky, and said, "I, Liu Zhu, have read a lot of poetry and books. I thought that I was ordered by the Holy Spirit to come to Tongcheng to be the prefect. I was full of ambition and wanted to protect the peace of the people. But there is Yang Wantang sitting in the city, What am I, the prefect?"

When Liu Zhu said this, he was a little bit annoyed and a little bit lost.This is not only heard by the housekeeper, Liu Zhu's wives, concubines and children can recite it fluently.

"In times of peace, the common people were afraid of him, and rich households provided for him. Boxes of gold and silver flowed into his mansion day and night. Who knew that there was someone like me in Tongcheng. Now that Tongcheng is in trouble, He must die first, Yang Wantang."

Liu Zhu was very gloating at this time, and the housekeeper also agreed.

It won't be long before we can leave the border of Tongcheng and go west to Yongzhou. The way has already been arranged.With these gold and silver, he will be a rich man for the rest of his life. He has no doubts, and he has long since given up any teenage ambitions.

Liu Zhuo was still having a sweet dream, when suddenly he heard a sound of drinking in front of him.

"Hey! I've been guarding you here for a whole day! No wonder you run so slowly, and you brought so many things with you when you escaped for your life! Can you not be slow."

With this sound, the fire suddenly lit up, and Liu Zhu could see clearly that there were soldiers and horses in the distance.He thought it was the Huaiyang army who had arrived, so he was so frightened that he reined in his horse and turned around.But there are so many horses and chariots, how can there be enough time.

After a while, soldiers and horses rushed over and surrounded them.

Liu Zhu took a closer look and saw that the person who spoke just now was a black robe in black armor.But the Huaiyang army is silver armor, he didn't have time to identify it, there is only one black armor near Tongcheng.

Liangzhou Army!
Liu Zhuo thought quickly, got off his horse and knelt down, crying: "General! The Huaiyang army has occupied Tongcheng, Tongcheng is in a hurry!"

As he spoke, he stretched his hand behind his back, signaling the butler to join him, and they knelt together after a while.

The leader of the Liangzhou army was Lao Zhao, who looked at Liu Zhu with a smile: "This is the first time a prefect kneels down to me, why don't you kowtow again to make me happy again."

Liu Zhu was taken aback, General Wen Zong had met him once before, he was heroic and heroic, not like this.He raised his head and glanced at Old Zhao, and said timidly, "The general was joking."

Old Zhao helped Liu Zhu up and asked, "Prefect Liu, where are you going?"

The other party mentioned his name again, so he must know him, Liu Zhuo said: "I... this is me, taking my family to visit my relatives."

Old Zhao grinned: "Don't go, come with us."
