A day later, in the prefect's mansion, Situ Qing burst into rage in the study, pointing at Situ Xiong's nose for a long time speechless, the bamboo stick in his hand rattled, but did not hit it down.Finally, he sat down on the chair, waved his hand, and said, "Lin'er, you go out first."

Situ Lin'er gave Situ Xiong a worried look, and walked out of the room.

Situ Qing threw the bamboo stick, went up and kicked Situ Xiong, and said, "Why did I give birth to you!"

Situ Xiong fell on his back, hurriedly got up and knelt down again.

Situ Qing suppressed his anger and let out a long sigh, and said: "Can you use your brains when you do things, why did the woman surnamed Xia imprison the boy surnamed Mei in our yamen's death cell? Do you think she really can't find a place to detain him? He just wants to drag our Situ family into trouble, even if you don't let him go, she will do everything possible to let him go, and finally put the blame on our Situ family. Why are you so stupid..." Situ Qing said. He was so angry that he pounded his forehead with his fist vigorously.

"No, no?" Situ Xiong was dumbfounded, he had never thought about this before.

"Get out—" Situ Qing wanted to say something else, but found that he was so angry that he had nothing to say, he could only curse: "Get out of here, get out..."

Situ Xiong used to make his father angry often, and he was used to it, but this time the situation was really scary. He didn't know that he had caused such a big disaster. When Situ Qing couldn't help but want to kick again, he Hastily knelt and climbed a few steps, stood up and ran.Running out of the house, he saw Situ Lin'er standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "Brother, it's up to you this time, help me to intercede in front of father." After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Situ Qing would chase him out, so he ran away in a hurry.

Situ Lin'er walked into the house, looked at the furious Situ Qing, and said softly: "Father, don't get angry, brother is also unintentional. Besides, from my daughter's point of view, this time the matter is not that serious. The elder brother's matter was suppressed, publicized to the outside world that the guards were not effective, and Mei Shaochuan escaped. At most, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty. With Grandpa in charge, the major incident must be reduced to a minor one, and there will be no big disturbances. "

Situ Qing listened to his daughter's analysis, nodded, and sighed softly: "If your elder brother is as smart as you, I can feel relieved. However, Lin'er, you are still inexperienced and don't understand the dangers here. Ah." As he spoke, he sighed softly, and said again: "That woman surnamed Xia must have been instructed by the old man of the Xia family. If he joins hands with the Ning family to deal with my Situ family, your grandfather will be afraid." There is nothing he can do. At that time, for the sake of the family, he will definitely sacrifice us..."

"Grandpa wouldn't be so heartless?" Situ Lin'er shook her lips and said.

"No?" Situ Qing sneered, and said: "He is the patriarch, why not? If he is not relentless, your father doesn't have to stay in Luo City for so many years. He has already been a minister in the court. gone."

When Situ Lin'er heard this, her face turned pale, and she couldn't say a word.

"That's all!" Situ Qing waved his hand and said, "Maybe things are not as bad as imagined. Maybe this woman surnamed Xia has lived in Mei Mansion for a long time and fell in love with that kid, and deliberately wanted to let him go..." When he said the latter sentence, even he himself didn't believe it, so it was right to comfort himself.After finishing speaking, he felt that it was a bit rude to say such a thing in front of his daughter, so he said again: "I'm tired of being a father, you go back to your room."

Situ Lin'er nodded, and walked out of the room. Looking at the gloomy weather, her face was a bit dazed. After a while, she lowered her head, shook her head slowly, moved lightly with lotus steps, and slowly left.

Situ Xiong, who had already run back to his room, panted heavily, poured all the cold tea on the table into his stomach, then sat down, and called his servants to go out to investigate, and when the servants came back, they said that the door of the master's room was closed , No one came out, so I was relieved.As soon as his own life was safe, Situ Xiong became worried about Mo Xiaochuan, and his mind was full of thoughts about whether Mo Xiaochuan was safe. Explaining that Mo Xiaochuan was fine, he somewhat felt relieved, climbed onto the bed, grabbed a pillow and went to sleep.

In fact, Mo Xiaochuan had already left the city at this time, and the search in the city was of no use. It stands to reason that if someone went out of the city at night, there were records in the city defense. People will leave the city, which is really intriguing, as if someone deliberately released water to prepare for Mo Xiaochuan's escape.

As early as early in the morning, Mo Xiaochuan was quite far away from Luocheng. After leaving the city, he realized that he was aimless and didn't know where to go. He walked subconsciously and approached the Beijiang camp. , a hidden team stopped him.At first Mo Xiaochuan was a little startled, thinking that he was here to arrest him, until he heard someone calling him to be the commander, then he took a closer look and found that the person was actually Qiu Hongye.

After Qiu Hongye stopped him, he took him to the woods not far away. The two sat down, and Qiu Hongye spoke, "Commander, you can't go to the Northern Xinjiang camp."

"Why?" Mo Xiaochuan frowned. In fact, this was the question that had always been in his mind. Why did Beijiang stand still when the Mei Mansion was ransacked? Seeing what Bei Jiang said, was Han Cheng's previous loyalty to Mei Shichang fake, he was very puzzled.

Qiu Hongye seemed to see the question in his heart, shook his head, and said: "The day before the Mei Mansion was ransacked, the entire Northern Xinjiang camp changed, and the young commander should also know about the transfer of Northern Xinjiang a few months ago... ..." As he spoke, he gave a wry smile and said, "General Han Cheng and Commander-in-Chief have been guarding against Chen Guangming, but they don't think that the biggest enemy is actually Deputy Commander Deng. After the transfer in Northern Xinjiang, almost the whole of Northern Xinjiang is him. General Han Cheng was put under house arrest by him, and Lu Shang was also locked up. Anyway, as long as anyone in the army dared to oppose him, he would be arrested. I also didn't openly come out to replace him because I don't like talking on weekdays. General Han Cheng spoke, and then he escaped."

"There is such a thing?" Mo Xiaochuan gasped. He did not expect that Deng Chaoqun was the mastermind hiding in northern Xinjiang. Chen Guangming had been fighting for so many years, but he was just a superficial sandbag.

Qiu Hongye continued helplessly: "A few days ago, General Han Cheng asked someone to bring me an export letter, asking me to try to inform the young commander not to return to northern Xinjiang. It is inconvenient for me to enter Los Angeles now, so I had to send someone to ask Mr. Situ about the situation. The news, he said that he would try to rescue the young commander, so his subordinates waited here. Counting today, it has been seventeen days, and finally the young commander is here."

Mo Xiaochuan listened, took a deep breath, stood up, carried Mei Xiaowan to the edge of the woods, put her down, and said: "Guan'er is waiting for brother here, brother will be here in a while."

The little girl nodded and said, "Brother, come quickly."

"Yeah!" Mo Xiaochuan fondled her little head, and then turned around. When he came to Qiu Hongye's side, he sat down again, with a serious face, and said, "How is my father?"

Qiu Hongye sighed softly, and said: "The commander-in-chief was convicted of treason, but no one on the southern line has the right to convict him, so he was brought back to Youzhou from the southern line, and the emperor personally interrogated him. In the event of a mountain torrent, all the people in the group were swept away by the flood." After finishing speaking, Qiu Hongye looked at Mo Xiaochuan, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The prefect of Mozhou has a good governance, and the Mohe River has been unable to break the embankment for many years. When the Commander passed by, the mountain torrent broke out and the bank of the river burst, and the subordinates thought that this was probably because some people had ulterior motives."

Mo Xiaochuan listened, clenched his fists and rattled, although after he was arrested and imprisoned, he guessed that something had happened to Mei Shichang, otherwise, no one would dare to touch Mei's mansion, but now the same After Qiu Hongye said it, he still couldn't help the anger in his heart. Now he even wanted to rush directly to Youzhou to take the emperor's life.

Mei Shichang's obese figure kept flashing in his mind. Although he didn't get along with him for a long time, and he never called him "Father", but Mei Shichang cared about him, and Mo Xiaochuan was all in love with him. He felt that people are not grass and trees, how can one be ruthless, there is already a family relationship between him and Mei Shichang, but he couldn't feel it before, now that he heard the news of his death, Mo Xiaochuan couldn't bear it anymore.

He lowered his head, clenched his fists and put them on his forehead. After a long time, he calmed down a little, and said, "Apart from these, what else did Han Cheng say?"

Qiu Hongye paused, and said: "General Han said that the young master has only one place to go now."

"Where?" Mo Xiaochuan asked.

"Xiliang!" Qiu Hongye replied very simply.

Mo Xiaochuan was a little surprised, lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and found that he really only had Xiliang to go to.Mei Shichang was designated as a traitor, which is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. In the country of Yan, there is no place for him to live. If he stays here, he can only run for his life all day and live in fear. Moreover, he will sleep tonight , are not necessarily guaranteed to wake up tomorrow morning.

Southern Tang is located on the south line, looking across the river from Yan State, and Chu State is in the southwest of Southern Tang, and the distance is similar. Only Xiliang can be reached after turning over the mountain in front, and it is only a hundred miles away. It is the most suitable and the only one. where to go.

After thinking for a while, Mo Xiaochuan sighed softly and said, "Okay, thank you Captain Qiu."

"Young Commander, please be polite." Qiu Hongye said: "Your subordinate cannot go with you, Young Commander, be careful all the way, and change your name over there."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded.

Qiu Hongye took out another bag of silver from his bosom and handed it to Mo Xiaochuan, saying, "Young Commander should not have any coils on him, you take these and make them on the way."

Mo Xiaochuan didn't refuse and reached out to take it.

After bidding farewell to Qiu Hongye, he took Mei Xiaowan and headed west.When they reached the border between Xiliang and Yan State, Mo Xiaochuan stopped, pulled Mei Xiaowan, and said, "Guan'er, we are leaving here, kowtow to the direction of home. From now on, my name is Mo Xiaochuan, Your name is Mo Xiaowan, there are no Mei Shaochuan and Mei Xiaowan in this world."

Mei Xiaowan was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Because I'm still called by my previous name, it will be very dangerous." Mo Xiaochuan said.

"But Guan'er's name was given by her father, so don't change Guan'er." The little girl said stubbornly.

Mo Xiaochuan thought for a while, and the little girl's name was not as well-known as Mei Shaochuan. Even if she didn't change it, not many people knew it, so she nodded and said, "That's up to you. In the future, others will ask What's your brother's name, do you remember?"

"Mo Xiaochuan!" Mei Xiaowan pursed her lips.

Mo Xiaochuan gently touched the back of her head, and said, "Okay, after kowtowing, we should be on our way." After that, he kowtowed three times heavily. Although he didn't say it out, he knew that he was right. Yan Guo's feelings are very ordinary, and these three heads are all given to Mei Shichang.

He got on the horse again, and he was not used to the weight of the long sword on his back. However, saving his life is the most important thing now, and looking for the sword is not what he can do right now.

"Guan'er, sit down!" Mo Xiaochuan said, pulling the reins.

"En!" The little girl stretched out her small hand and grabbed Mo Xiaochuan's clothes tightly.

Mo Xiaochuan looked back again, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped suddenly, heading towards the territory of Xiliang...
