Chapter 223
"Mapp!"

For the first time, Shen Yuexi became angry with a dead person.

Mape's Xiliang Army originally went to Nanping to support Qiu Liming and the others.She was worried before, and even went to ask Maple specifically.At that time Mape promised resoundingly.

Only now did she know that the Xiliang army was actually there to help Xiao Beiheng.

If Xiao Zhuo had already captured Yongwei, it would be fine, but now Xiao Zhuo was cornered.

She turned around and stared at Maple's body, looking left and right, looking for something to punch someone with.

Mei Dai rushed up from behind, hugged her arms and said, "Don't be angry. My brother did something wrong, but he's already dead, why are you angry with me?"

Shen Yuexi struggled left and right twice, but couldn't move away.

It's not pretending, it's really hard to break free, born with weak chicken attributes.

"Why did he do this? My husband obviously didn't feel sorry for him."

"Sister, don't get excited." Mei Dai supported her shoulders and made her turn around, "My brother has his difficulties."

"He promised well at the beginning," Shen Yuexi shook her head vigorously, "I was afraid that he would make a mistake, so I asked him specifically. He said that he would never break the promise of the King of Xiliang."

Mei Dai shouted: "No matter what the promise is, it is absolutely impossible for my brother to hand over Xiliang to someone like Xiao Zhuo who has no name or status!"

Shen Yuexi froze and asked, "Does he know my husband's true identity?"

Mei Dai lowered her head in shame and said: "Sister, I did it. I heard Xiao Zhuo's secret in Emperor Yongde's dream, so I wrote a letter and asked Zhang Song to bring it to my brother. At that time, I thought Xiao Zhuo Zhuo has the heart to seize Xiliang and wants to stop him, but my brother just attaches great importance to fame. When my brother rescued me from the palace, he told me about this matter. Xiao Zhuo, that is an insult to the ancestors of the Mei family, he would rather die than do it."

Shen Yuexi covered her face with her hands and said: "If you don't give it, you won't give it. Just make it clear. Why do you want to harm us?"

"Xiao Beiheng promised brother that if he is allowed to cross Nanping, he promises not to move to Xiliang..."

"He even believed Xiao Beiheng's words," Shen Yuexi was about to cry, but she almost jumped up on the spot when she heard Mei Dai's words, "Idiot, idiot, idiot... that cruel man can do anything."

Mei Dai was taken aback, let go of her and asked, "Sister knows Xiao Beiheng very well?"

"He's the kind of man you don't know what he's thinking. He can smile at you and lock you up the next day. And when you think he's going to kill you, he gives you horses, Send you away safely."

The more Shen Yuexi talked, the more frightened she became.

She had an inexplicable fear of Xiao Beiheng.Xiao Beiheng crossed Nanping, Xiao Zhuo was attacked by enemies on the back and back, and was wounded, how could he fight against him?

"No, I'm going back to find my husband." She hurriedly jumped off the carriage, "My husband is in danger."

Originally, Xiao Zhuo was injured, but she was not very panicked.After all, the city wall of Yongwei had been blown down by gunpowder, and Xiao Kai didn't do anything good, and even suffered more serious injuries.But when Xiao Beiheng joined at this time, it was different.

"Sister, you can't go."

Mei Dai stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and ran a few steps, reaching out and grabbing Shen Yuexi's wrist: "I understand. If what my sister said is true, Xiao Beiheng is a very rich man, let alone you can go back."

"Let go, I'm going back to find my husband," Shen Yuexi pulled Mei Dai's finger with the other hand, "I can't just walk away like this."

I thought Mei Dai would hold her tightly, but unexpectedly, Mei Dai let go of her suddenly, causing her to stagger and almost fall.

"Go," Mei Dai turned around and said coldly, "The army was defeated and the chaos ran rampant. A beautiful girl like my sister has never thought about what will happen when she encounters the chaos?"

Shen Yuexi turned a deaf ear, moved her wrist twice, and walked away.

After walking a few steps, she stopped again.

It was so dark that I couldn't even see the road.The last time I came to Lusheng Town, I came along the main road in Mei Dai's carriage.At that time, I didn't pay attention to how to walk, and now I have to walk back by myself, it is impossible, okay, I probably hang up on the road in the middle of the night.

Besides, it's too late to rely on feet alone.

She turned her head and ran back to Mei Dai, took Mei Dai's hand and said: "Sister Mei, take me back."

"No," Mei Dai replied very simply, "women like you and I shouldn't be on the battlefield. Once we fail and are taken away by the rebel army, life would be worse than death. Do you want such a result? "

"Husband is still in Yongwei, I'm going to find him." Shen Yuexi held Mei Dai's hand tightly, tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.

"Why do you still care about him so much?" Mei Dai looked at Shen Yuexi in puzzlement, "He is no longer the prince, he can't even keep his title as King Zhao, he has nothing left. Why do you still go looking for him?"

"I don't know, I don't know," Shen Yuexi sobbed, "I just want to find him."

Now she is in a state of confusion, she only knows that Xiao Zhuo is in great danger and she must go to him.As for why, she still hasn't figured it out.

Mei Dai still shook her head: "Once we meet the rebels, you and I will end in extreme misery, do you understand?"

"Then take me to a nearby place, and I'll walk there by myself." Shen Yuexi begged.

Mei Dai turned her gaze to the carriage, gritted her teeth and said, "No, my brother is not buried in peace, I can't go back."

"Sister Mei," Shen Yuexi bent her legs, knelt in front of Mei Dai, and hugged her legs: "Sister Mei, please."

"Why exactly?" Mei Dai couldn't help asking again, "You know that going back is a narrow escape, and you know that going back won't save him..."

"I can help him," Shen Yuexi cried, "I'm not a vase."

"What nonsense is my sister talking about?" Mei Dai sighed, reaching out to wipe away her tears, "Don't cry, our Mei family has received your husband's kindness many times, and my elder brother was saved from pain only after receiving your medicine. , you made a prosthetic arm for him again. I, Mei Dai, will repay the kindness for my father and brother."

Shen Yuexi raised her head in surprise: "Sister, did you agree?"

Mei Dai nodded: "There is no one here in Wusheng Town, let's bury my brother here first. Although it is disrespectful, but brother Jiuquan knows that I will not blame me. Then I will take you immediately Back to Yongwei."

"Okay, okay." Shen Yuexi wiped away tears and stood up.

She also knew that this was already the biggest concession Mei Dai could give.

If he brought Maple back to Yongwei, it is estimated that Maple would have rotted in Yongwei.Moreover, there is a large army fighting in Yongwei City, and the soldiers are in chaos, and even the corpses may be lost.Meipu was Xiao Zhuo's friend after all, and he was the one who saved Xiao Zhuo back then, so he should never be treated like this after death.

Two women held torches and searched for the burial place in Yusheng Town. Although the night wind was cold, there were night owls screaming from time to time.But neither had time to be afraid.

Not long after finding a suitable place, Mei Dai fetched the lamp hanging from the car and put it on the ground, and found two shovels from a nearby courtyard, and handed one to Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi was impatient, picked up the shovel and stepped on it with her foot, using all her strength to step down.

Dig up a palm-sized piece of soil.

I felt that I was working hard enough, but I didn't expect to dig up such a small piece of soil.If you really want to dig a grave, it will probably take a whole day without eating or drinking.

She looked up at Mei Dai with some embarrassment, and saw Mei Dai was kneeling on the ground with her palms folded and talking in a low voice.

"Brother, the Yongwei war is raging, and the clan ancestral hall cannot be returned. However, the green hills are long, and loyal bones can be buried everywhere. The elder brother lives here temporarily, and when the war subsides, the younger sister worships the soul for the older brother, and then returns to the clan to reunite with the ancestors." .”

Shen Yuexi felt that it was inappropriate for him to stand aside.After all, Mei Pu also saved Xiao Zhuo, and there was a reason why he did something wrong later on.So she folded her palms together and said in her heart:
"Mei Shizi, I want Sister Mei to take me back to save my husband. I have no choice but to bury you here. Don't blame Sister Mei, and don't come to me in your dreams."

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods at first, but at this moment, there was a lot of cloudiness around her, so she also said a few words to embolden herself.

While praying there, Mei Dai stood up, inserted the shovel into the ground, pressed down with both hands, and shoveled up a whole shovel of soil.

"Sister Mei, you...you still use this?" Shen Yuexi asked in surprise.

"It was taught by my grandpa," Mei Dai said sadly, throwing the clod of soil aside with a shovel, "Grandpa said that although I am a woman, I am responsible for the rise and fall of the Mei family. Not good. From the time I can remember, I have been practicing day and night...Grandpa said, one day you may dig the grave for your father and brother with your own hands, but I didn’t expect that it would become a proverb.”

Shen Yuexi fell silent.

The old king of Xiliang is a talented man, and he knows things like a god.It's a pity that my son didn't live up to it.The grandson could have been promising, but got leprosy again.In the end, all the burdens fell on Mei Dai's shoulders.

It's unbelievable that Mei Dai can survive until now without collapsing.

"Stop talking, let's dig quickly." Mei Dai swung her shovel again.

Shen Yuexi also picked up the shovel, before digging down, Mei Dai suddenly dropped the shovel and rushed over, grabbed Shen Yuexi's hand and ran: "Run, someone is coming."

Shen Yuexi was not as vigilant as Mei Dai, but after throwing away the shovel and running for two steps, she heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Now there is a great battle under the city of Yongwei, the common people fled and dispersed.There are few people in a radius of a hundred miles.Now hearing the sound of horseshoes, it is neither bandit nor robber.

Thinking of the result of the two being caught by the bandits, her heart pounded, and her legs seemed to go limp.

Mei Dai dragged her to hide in an abandoned farmhouse nearby, closed the door, and the two of them hid behind the door.Mei Dai put her finger to her lips, beckoning her to keep quiet, and pulled out a bright dagger from her waist.

Shen Yuexi looked at the dagger and swallowed.

This dagger was almost stuck in her body, fortunately Mei Dai is not a reckless person.

The sound of horseshoes stopped outside the courtyard, and a man's voice said: "The lights here are still on, people must still be here... There is still heat on the handle of the spade, it is nearby!"

Another male voice said: "Scatter and search."

Shen Yuexi was terrified when she heard that, the other party was really not in vain, she could tell from the shovel that the two of them were nearby, this kind of brain is not something ordinary gangsters can have, could it be that a group of disorderly troops fled here?
Her face was pale, and she looked at Mei Dai who was opposite.It was found that Mei Dai's eyes were closed tightly, and the hand holding the dagger was trembling.

It turned out that Mei Dai was not much less frightened than her.

I was nervous, and with a "bang", the door was kicked open with my foot.

Mei Dai opened her eyes, rushed out from the darkness, swung her dagger and stabbed at the person who came.

With a bang, the dagger spun and flew in the air, before disappearing in a flash.Next, a war knife with a cold light pointed at Mei Dai's throat.
