Chapter 263 The Bottom Line
The city gate of Liancheng was under martial law for two days, and every ten steps outside the city had one post. If there was an attack by an army, Liancheng would be able to respond quickly. Xie Jue seemed to have expected that the capital would not send troops to chase after him. Xie Xun was seriously injured and could not move. Xie Jue stopped in Liancheng two days.

Xie Xun came to look for Xie Jue after crying heartily in Feng Yu's arms.

Xie Jue was in the mourning hall, Zhenbei Hou, his wife and two aunts, the remains of Xie Junhua and Xie Zhang were brought out, in a sense, it was a family reunion.

There were six coffins parked in the mourning hall. Xie Jue was wearing mourning clothes and knelt in front of the futon to burn millet stalks. Xie Xun also changed into mourning clothes. His steps were heavy and the sky was spinning. He was dizzy.He kowtowed heavily on his knees, offered incense to his family members, and knelt beside Xie Jue to burn millet stalks with him.

The two brothers were silent, accompanied each other, and depended on each other.

Feng Yu accompanied Xie Xun to the outside of the mourning hall, did not go in, turned around and left, the courtyard of Liancheng was found temporarily, it was very close to the north city gate, and could leave at any time, the outside of the mansion was full of cavalry guards.

Xu Zhou and Cui Lansong are dealing with military affairs of the iron cavalry. Cui Lansong has also sent a message back to Ningzhou to inform General Cui of the drastic changes in Beijing and China. Feng Yu can feel the restlessness of the iron cavalry. The Hou family is loyal, but they don't know what to do next.People have different hearts, and the imperial court has no hatred for them to kill their father or murderer. Whether they will rebel with Xie Jue and Xie Xun is unknown.

Feng Yu understands that after defecting from the capital, Xie Jue and Xie Xun will face even greater difficulties. There are 10 iron riders, and it is still unknown how many people are willing to follow Xie Jue and Xie Xun.

And what about military supplies?
The largest granaries in Yanyang are located in Jiangnan and the suburbs of Kyoto, which are under the control of the Jiangnan garrison and Kyoto. If the iron cavalry is stationed in Ningzhou, food, grass and military supplies are the most urgent problem to be solved.

Twelve prefectures are also very good, even from the city to Ningzhou, they can't provide the food and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the northern barbarians are still eyeing them.In the civil strife in Yanyang, the northern barbarians will tear up the treaty and start a war, so what should we do?Now if there is another war, no one will provide food for the cavalry.

Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu were talking about something under the tree in front of the door. The three of them were a little frustrated and sad. When Feng Yu came over, Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu waved to her.

"What are you doing?"

"We are releasing Lin Xiao..."

"Shut up!" Lin Xiao stopped Zhang Boxing, Zhang Boxing spread his hands, but it didn't matter, Feng Yu came and sat side by side with them, "I miss Junjun."

"I thought about it too." Zhang Boxing was a little depressed, "With her here, it's very noisy, but without her, it's so boring."

Several people looked at each other and smiled. They all knew that those carefree days in the past are gone forever, and no one can go back.The three of them have been expelled from the family, and the merchants from Kyoto will bring news from Kyoto.

Zhang Boxing thought, it would be good not to involve his family.

Feng Yu remembered that during the Lantern Festival, they enjoyed lanterns together. These young men were wanton. In just half a year, who would have thought that they would make such a decision.

"Do you regret it?" Feng Yu asked.

"I don't believe that Lord Hou would kill the late emperor. It must be a conspiracy. I also don't see the death of a loyal minister and good general. The young Lord has saved my life. If Xiyanshan hadn't come to save me, I would have died. I don't care at all. Regret, I’m afraid I’ll hurt my mother. But Zhang Bolan has the merits of being a dragon, so he will be able to keep them.” Zhang Boxing looked in the direction of the capital, “I’m not very popular in the Zhang family. But I'm so angry, life is so boring. Today's setup to kill fathers and kings is a tyrant at first glance, why do you give your life to him, leave the capital, the sky is far away from the emperor, and follow the young master to wander the world!"

"Are you sure you are wandering around the world, not rebelling and usurping the throne?" Zhou Liyu raised his eyebrows.

"it's the same!"

"Ah!"

Feng Yu laughed, "Where's Zhou Liyu?"

"I'm not a direct descendant of the Zhou family. I've been living and dying since I was a child. I don't have that much thought. I will do whatever the brothers do. They all lead soldiers to save the young master. I can't be greedy for life and fear death. Besides, the Hou family ...I don't accept why I ended up like this."

Zhou Liyu has the same herd mentality as many people in Jingdu Wei. Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing are his best brothers, and he wants to advance and retreat with them.

Sympathy for the Hou Mansion, under such circumstances, no one could just watch Xie Xun being slaughtered by the imperial army like a trapped beast, and Xie Xun even saved their lives.

Lin Xiao leaned back against the tree trunk, with dim eyes, and said lightly, "I'm disappointed. Three days before the accident, I overheard the conversation between my elder brother and my father, and I knew that the crown prince wanted to kill the king and blame the Marquis. I was I was so frightened that I knocked over the vase, disturbed them, and was locked in a dungeon by them. Regicide... When did my Lin family become a regicide knife, and what they were plotting, I knew exactly what it was. Big brother did it Prepare with both hands, if the prince is defeated, my father will take my mother, and I will flee overnight with Yuyan, or seek the protection of the old man. They want to kill the old man's daughter, son-in-law and grandson, and they are plotting to ask for their protection after the defeat. How ridiculous Ah. I advise elder brother not to help the evildoers, but elder brother won’t listen. He and Xie Zhang, Xie Jue and Fang Chuning are descendants of a generation of aristocratic families, and they have been compared with them since childhood. He was brought to the battlefield by his father to achieve what he is today. He is jealous, unwilling, and dissatisfied. He always wants to make a career. He became the commander of the imperial army, but he is not satisfied with being a son-in-law. I want to be a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people. For this reason, I am devoid of conscience, I...I can't accept it. Whether it is the eldest brother or Swift, although I have no prospects since I was a child, I can't do those insane things , They are my blood relatives, I can't cut flesh and blood, I can only flee far away, I don't want to join forces with them, even if my elder brother really becomes a powerful official as he wishes, and enjoys all the glory and wealth, I also think it is the blood of countless people , I'm not cruel enough to pretend that nothing happened."

Lin Xiao was under much greater pressure than Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu, because although Lin Sheng was a big rebel and helped the evildoers, he loved his siblings very much since he was a child.

Lin Xiao had a lot of misfortunes, but it was Lin Sheng who settled them. When he was young, he hurt someone, and it was Lin Sheng who came to the door to apologize. Lin Sheng was like a father to him.

Therefore, Lin Xiao could not accept that Lin Sheng did not distinguish between right and wrong, and had no bottom line to commit evil.

"Don't think too much, I'll be expelled from the house anyway!" Zhou Liyu waved his hand, "Think about it, leave the capital, we will have a new life, and we will follow the young master to wander the world... Oh, no... Raising troops to rebel Well, maybe we can also learn from the dragon, this thing is not so rare."

Several people were amused by Zhou Liyu, and after knowing that their family members would not be hurt, they were actually much more at ease.Jingdu Wei dared to do this, because he was also betting against others.

With so many descendants in the family, is it possible that Yu Wenjing wants to kill all the rich and powerful?

The nine clans of this group of descendants of aristocratic families are all clans.

"If the young master wants to be the emperor, I will be the first to support it. The loyal ministers and good generals of the five generations of Zhenbei Hou died in Ningzhou. For the sake of Yanyang, Yuwenjing is still so worthless. If I were the young master, I would raise troops to rebel. gone."

Lin Xiao put his hands behind his head, "I'm also very confused when I say it, why the emperor can only be a member of Yuwen's family?"

"They were born to be emperors, who made the rule?"

"God knows!"

"In the first place, there are capable people living there. Yu Wenjing's tyrant, he is not worthy. If a son kills his father, it will be struck by thunder." Zhou Liyu said disdainfully, "The late emperor must have regretted giving birth to such a thing."

"I don't understand why he wanted to kill the late emperor!" Feng Yu said, "The late emperor had high hopes for the prince, and he taught him himself since he was a child. The relationship between father and son is very good. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he also handed over his team to the prince. To blame the Hou Mansion for killing the king is really insane."

She asked Thirteen Niang to inquire about her sister's news in Beijing, but there is no news yet, and the prince will take her sister away, so it will not hurt her life for a while.

It's just that her sister was trapped in Miyagi, how could she deal with such a frenzied person, and her brother-in-law died so tragically, she was really afraid that her sister would die with the prince.

But if she stays in the capital, it will only be the crown prince taking advantage of her sister's weakness, Feng Yu is helpless, her hand cannot reach the palace, she wants Xie Jue and Xie Xun to help.But he couldn't say it out loud, the six lives of the Hou Mansion are in the mourning hall, and their brothers must never return to the capital.

elder sister……

Fengyu sent a letter to Shisanniang, and three days after she left, she spread the news in the capital that the new monarch had imprisoned his minister's wife, determined to force Yuwenjing to return her to Fengfu.

A flying pigeon landed on the eaves, Xie Jue's shadow guard whistled, the flying pigeon landed on his hand, and he entered the mourning hall with a message from the capital.

"Second son, a letter from the palace."

Xie Jue took the note, read it, and threw it into the fire. Xie Xun looked at the flames in a daze, "Second brother, where is five six seven eight?"

"In Beijing!"

Xie Jue has always been reticent, "Sister-in-law was imprisoned by him in Yongning Palace."

"This insane thing!" Xie Xun was furious, "He has coveted sister-in-law for many years, how could he let her go, sister-in-law is strong-tempered, and brother died in front of her again, imprisoned in Yongning Palace, there is only one way to die."

"Covet sister-in-law?" Xie Jue asked coldly.

"At the banquet in Beiman's harem, he molested his sister-in-law." Xie Xun was indignant, "He even had a conflict with his elder brother."

"He's really cheap."

Xie Xun grew up so old, and it was the first time he heard his second brother say such vulgar words.

Xie Jue took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, "The new monarch imprisoned his minister's wife in the harem. He can't stop the conversation. As long as the sister-in-law leaves the palace, the shadow guard will take her away."

 Although it is two updates, it is seven thousand words.
