Chapter 222 Sadness
When Shen Yuexi regained consciousness again, she first felt a dull pain in the back of her head, as if she had been hit hard by a heavy and heavy log.The body dangled, as if lying on something moving.

She stretched out her hand, touched the back of her head, and opened her eyes.

The back of the head won't be swollen.

Just when he opened his eyes, what caught his eyes was Maple's frighteningly pale face.

With a scream, Shen Yuexi sat up abruptly, kicked her feet on the ground, and retreated away from Meipu until her back hit the hard baffle.

Nima, it's scary to death.When he opened his eyes, he saw a dead person, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"You're awake, Shen Yuexi." Mei Dai's voice sounded from the front, "I can't find a suitable car for a while, so I can only let you lie down with my brother for the time being."

Shen Yuexi pressed her thumping chest and looked around, only to realize that she was in a car without a roof.This is a special vehicle for transporting grain and grass in the Dayan Army. It is specially made narrow to facilitate walking on the rugged trails.

The wall of the carriage is not high, only two feet, and there is a wind lantern hanging on the inner wall, as the car advances, it knocks against the wall of the carriage.It was pitch black above the head, a hazy moon, a few remnant stars hung in the night sky, and a cool wind whimpered overhead.

It was morning when we returned to the barracks, but now it was evening.Have you been in a coma for so long?
"Mei Dai," Shen Yuexi covered the back of her head and looked at Mei Dai who was driving in front, "So you are not crazy."

Mei Dai's loose long hair has been tied up, but she still wears that cold mask on her face.

"Seeing my brother die in front of my eyes, I almost went crazy," Mei Dai replied without turning her head. "It doesn't matter if you say I'm crazy or not."

"Why did you hit me?" Shen Yuexi touched the back of her head, feeling a burning pain, as if it was really swollen.Can't help but get angry.

Fortunately, the hit was on the back of the head, if it hit the face, it would be disfigured.

This Mei Dai was too ruthless.Her voice was as harmless as hers, but she didn't expect... She thought that Mei Dai had hit Doctor Hua hard, but now she realized that giving her this blow was really hard.

"I just hit it with a horsewhip, does it hurt?" Mei Dai turned her head, the cold metal mask reflected the light, "If I hadn't seen the prosthetic hand you made for my brother, I would have planned to use a knife."

When Shen Yuexi heard this, she noticed that Mei Pu, who was lying in front of her, was wearing the metal prosthetic hand she made on her left arm.

The prosthetic hand was made before, and it has been placed on the table in the big tent. Unexpectedly, Mei Dai did not forget to bring this thing.

At least this prosthetic hand has reached its true owner.

She was a little sad, and whispered: "I promised to do it for him before, but I didn't expect him to come back like this. Don't you want to kill me without this prosthetic hand?"

"Xiao Zhuo killed my father, my mother and concubine, and my elder brother!" The voice behind the mask was crying, "My heart is bleeding, I originally planned to kill you and Xiao Zhuo of."

"You're talking nonsense, you're spitting blood!" Shen Yuexi was furious, and shouted at Mei Dai, "My husband didn't kill your father and king, nor did he kill your mother and concubine, nor did he kill your elder brother!"

Counting all the dead in the Mei family on Xiao Zhuo's head, she would not do it.

This is absolutely framed.

She was calling, but Mei Dai turned around and said, "Hasn't Xiao Zhuo ever had any unreasonable thoughts about us in Xiliang?"

Shen Yuexi immediately calmed down.

What Mei Dai said hit the nail on the head.In all honesty, Xiao Zhuo really has the intention of possessing Xiliang.Not only has it been, but it has been there from the beginning.It's just that he has a friend named Maple, so he hasn't really implemented it.When it was more serious, Xiao Zhuo misunderstood that the person who framed him was Mei Dai, and even imagined more terrible revenge, but these were all verbal.

"He...he..." She faltered two words, not knowing how to reply next.

If there is, it is to admit that the death of the Mei family father and son has something to do with Xiao Zhuo.If you say no, you are talking nonsense.

This virtuous concubine can make Emperor Yongde obey, but she is by no means a fool.

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Mei Dai didn't force her to ask, she turned her head and raised the whip, and lashed again.The horses pulling the cart snorted heavily, and the sound of horseshoes became more frequent.

"Do you know. The moment I saw Xiao Zhuo, I hated you so much." After a moment of silence, Mei Dai continued, "Have you ever experienced that the enemy who killed your whole family is right in front of your eyes. The kind of pain that can’t be helped.”

Shen Yuexi said: "Sister Mei, I admit that my husband is indeed possessive of Xiliang. But he has never done anything to be sorry for the Mei family."

"You are his wife, so you will naturally speak for him," Mei Dai snorted coldly, "Everyone will defend those close to them, but it may not be true."

Shen Yuexi was not convinced, and retorted: "Without my husband leading away the [-] Xirong troops besieged by Xirong, Xirong would have broken through Leshan long ago. Could it be that this is still killing your father?"

Mei Dai stuck the whip on the shaft of the chariot, turned her head and said: "Could it be that what Zhang Song told me was all false? How could my father die if Xiao Zhuo didn't retreat at Ben Niu River on purpose."

"Zhang Song? Is that the bastard who used an assassin to assassinate me and my husband? He actually went to the capital to find you, this despicable villain!"

After scolding Zhang Song, Shen Yuexi still didn't forget to get back to the topic.

"Your father was defeated at the Benniu River. It was because he insisted on attacking. My husband had already made an agreement with Xi Rong to stop the war. It was his insanity that insisted on sending Mei Shizi to attack Zhang Wu."

"What does brain damage mean?" Mei Dai asked, "I have never heard of this word before."

"It's just that my brain is flooded and soaked in water." Shen Yuexi became more and more excited as she spoke, "Don't you know how much you weigh? Did you not know how much you were beaten by Xirong, and you lost two cities in a row? It's so easy to stop the war. It's a shame. Going to fight Zhang Wu. If you can’t beat him, please ask my husband for help. My husband has always been a gentleman who keeps his word. He would rather break the oath, bear the infamy, and try his best to rescue Mei Shizi. As a result, your father felt that this great opportunity should not be missed... He Even an armadillo is inferior, an armadillo knows how to curl up when it meets an enemy..."

Mei Dai didn't respond, she hugged her knees with her hands and buried her face between her arms.

"But you still don't understand him. No matter how much he wants Tu Xiliang in his heart, which thing has really harmed you? On the contrary, he has saved your Mei family time and time again...Now, right now, my husband still He was venting his anger for your Mei family. He was injured in a duel with Xiao Kai and was almost killed by a sword. Tell me, what does he owe your Mei family?"

Shen Yuexi was venting her dissatisfaction, but she saw that Mei Dai was silent, her shoulders twitched slightly, as if she was crying.

Thinking of Mei Dai's situation at this moment, her heart softened again, so she stopped talking.

"You're right, you're right," Mei Dai cried louder and louder, "Your husband is hurt, but you can still talk to him. You can see him cry, you can see him smile …No matter how much pain you endure, at least you can still feel him. But I have nothing left. I can only touch my brother’s cold face and cry, but even this extravagant hope will soon be gone.”

Shen Yuexi took a look at Mei Pu's body. Now that the weather has started to warm up, it will rot if it is not buried.

Mei Dai is right, she really has nothing left.

She got up and came behind Mei Dai, putting her hands on Mei Dai's shoulders: "Sister Mei, I know you are in pain, I can understand it."

Mei Dai turned around, hugged her with both hands and cried loudly.

Ever since Maple's death, she had been suppressing her grief forcibly, and it was only at this moment that she finally vented it out.

"Cry, sister," Shen Yuexi patted Mei Dai's trembling shoulder lightly, "It feels better to cry."

"Sister, I'm not a messy person. I know what you said is true." After crying for a while, Mei Dai stopped her grief and raised her head from Shen Yuexi's shoulder. You talk like that. I was preconceived and wronged you."

She has been in the capital all the time, and she is only hearsay about everything that happened in Xiliang.Later, Zhang Song added fuel to the fire, who was originally full of hatred for Xiao Zhuo.Now that Shen Yuexi talked about the matter, she realized that she had wrongly blamed Xiao Zhuo.

"The misunderstanding has been cleared up, and I have no disease. It is rude to meet each other wearing a mask."

She slowly raised her hands and took off the metal mask on her face
When the moonlight fell on Mei Dai's face full of tears, Shen Yuexi immediately understood why Emperor Yongde was fascinated.Even as a woman, she was attracted by Mei Dai's beauty.

"Sister Mei, you are so beautiful." Despite the inappropriateness, she still couldn't help admiring.

"I used to think that I was an unparalleled beauty. Now I realize that appearance is the least important thing." Mei Dai raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve. "Beauty is not only used to please men, but also to satisfy vanity. , what's the use. I'd rather be as ingenious as you, sister."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, Mei Dai probably meant the same thing as the vase.

Although the vase is beautiful, it is only for people to appreciate, without any connotation, so superficial.

"I have nothing but my appearance." Mei Dai put the mask on her legs. "My father and elder brother are no longer alive. I don't even know what is the point of living."

Shen Yuexi disagreed with Mei Dai's point of view, and persuaded: "Sister, don't look down on yourself. In my opinion, you are better than most women."

A woman who can bear the grief of losing a loved one and pretends to be crazy to hide it from everyone.She had only seen this kind of willpower in ancient stories.

"Sister, you don't need to comfort me," Mei Dai forced a smile, "I'm already disheartened. After my brother is buried, the war will subside. I will stay in front of my family's grave and die."

After Mei Dai finished speaking, Shen Yuexi thought of an important question: Where is Mei Dai taking her?
Only now was he thinking about supporting Xiao Zhuo, and he spoke impassionedly.Later, she was busy comforting Mei Dai, forgetting her own situation.

"Sister, where are you taking me out?"

At this time, the carriage was slowly entering a lifeless town. The houses in the town were like black boulders, one by one in the darkness on both sides of the road.Cold, silent, lifeless.

She has an impression.

This is Wusheng Town, a small town in the south of Yongwei near the junction of the two prefectures. All the residents have been slaughtered by the Jingzhou cavalry.

"King Zhao is about to be defeated, I will take you to escape there," Mei Dai held the whip in her hand again, "After passing through the town of Wusheng, there is a secret post of the Mei family on the south mountain, which was set up by my grandfather at that time. It's very secretive, and most people can't find it, so we'll take refuge there temporarily."

"Husband is about to lose?" Shen Yuexi couldn't believe what she heard, "Why?"

"Xiao Beiheng has already breached Nanping, and is encroaching on the rear route of Zhao Wang's army from the north." Mei Dai lowered her head, "Zhao Wang's army has no chance to win."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback: "How did sister know?"

"My brother told me. The Xiliang army under his command went north... to help Xiao Beiheng."
