One of the female generals of the Yang family

【Chapter 55】Liu, a woman who catches trees and pulls branches

However, the news of Song Xiang's going out has been released, and it is not easy to take it back. The delay is urgent, and the only person who can save his life is Song Zhenzong.Qin Xue got up from the bed dragging her sick body, and hurried to the prison, followed by Yang Shun and Zoge.Came to a dark room, where Master Qiao and the three 'Guqiao' sons were in it.

Without warning, Qin Xue knelt down in front of Master Qiao, causing him to get up in panic and go to help him.

"Master Qiao, you are a senior. Even if my father sees you, he should show some respect. You can bear this kneeling." Qin Xue stared at him with a trace of expectation in her eyes.

Master Qiao's eyes dodged, as if he understood what she meant.

"I know that Qiao Su is the child you value most. Although you disapprove of what he is doing now, you don't want to destroy him yourself. However, now that the Yang family has promised to protect the 'Ancient Bridge' well, why can't the Qiao family reciprocate? How about protecting the Yang family comprehensively?"

"Girl." Master Qiao slowly helped her up, "He is Gu's own son, you want me to push him to the guillotine with my own hands, you know, how can I be willing?"

"Master Qiao is confused." Qin Xue took a step forward, "You protected him for a while, and at this moment, you might pull the 'Old Bridge' into doom. If he makes another big mistake, Master Qiao thinks that the emperor will forgive him. Is there everyone in the family?"

Master Qiao lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, looked at the three sons behind him, and finally said: "Nizi is hiding in the cave around the lake."

Yang Shun's eyes lit up, he bowed his hands and left in a hurry.

"Zog." Qin Xue stopped Zog who was about to turn around, "Xiao Jiu is under your protection, I'll go find Second Brother and Hua Niang."

"Qin Xue is like this, how do you leave?" Zog looked at her with worry.

"If I'm like this, I can't protect him. I'm relieved that you're here." Qin Xue patted Zog on the shoulder and walked out of the prison.I asked for a carriage and rushed to meet Hua Jieyu.Seeing her coming, Hua Jieyu was shocked, "Why are you here?"

Qin Xue nodded to Yang Yong, and looked at Hua Jieyu, "Master Qiao told me where Qiao Su is hiding, and Yang Shun has led his troops away."

"So, here?"

"Continue to guard, until there is no news from Yang Shun, we must guard." Qin Xue looked at the tomb of 'Master Qiao' and squatted guarding with everyone.

After a long time, there was finally movement on the road.A carriage came slowly along the dirt road.Sitting in the car was a man with a dusty surface, squinting at the new grave, but didn't signal the driver to stop, moved his body, and buried his head deeply.

"This person not only has eyes, but also can move his hands and feet. He should not be Qiao Su." Hua Jieyu observed carefully behind the short hill.

Yang Yong nodded, "The figure doesn't look like that either."

Qin Xue dragged a small soldier behind him, "You lead ten people and trap the coachman firmly under you, no one can rescue him no matter what, understand?"

The little soldier nodded, waved his hand, and led ten people to chase the carriage along the short hill.

"Hua Niang, Second Brother, it's up to you." Qin Xue nodded to the two, stood up abruptly, "Chasing." With the order, Yang Yong and Hua Jieyu stood up abruptly, even though they didn't understand, and echoed together: "Chase."

Everyone ran out from behind the low hill. At the same time, another force rushed from the dead wood forest in the distance, looking to protect the carriage ahead.Just now the soldier led ten people to chase to the side of the carriage, the three of them wrestled with the clay-faced man on the carriage, and the others dragged the driver out of the carriage and put them under their bodies.

Qin Xue couldn't participate in the battle, so she stood in the distance and looked around.Judging from the two camps, they are evenly matched, and Yang Yong and Hua Jieyu do not have an advantage in this battle.Qin Xue looked at the person pressing on the 'coach man' again, and fixed him very firmly. The 'coach man' didn't mean to resist. It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but because he didn't have the ability. Qin Xue smiled lightly and walked along the low hill Go to the 'driver'.

The hostile party rushed towards the 'coach man', trying to rescue him, but Yang Yong and Hua Jieyu were flexible in their movements and protected him tightly, preventing the rescuer from getting close to him. They held each other for a long time, until shouts sounded in the distance With a sound, Yang Shun stepped on his horse and came with a group of guards.It didn't take long to finally suppress the foreign army.

"Everyone get up." Seeing that the situation was under control, Qin Xue ran to the 'coach driver' and ordered all the people pressing him to get up.

A blind scholar with a haggard complexion was lying on the ground. He was powerless and limp on the ground. He could only turn his neck after several convulsions, and his limbs were completely unresponsive.

"Qiao Su?" Hua Jieyu was astonished, looking at the person she had met before, he was in a mess just like that day.

"Take it down." Yang Shun ordered, and they lifted Qiao Su from the ground and put him on the carriage.

"It turns out that the coachman is him." Yang Yong suddenly realized, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to clean up the mess, Fang was about to lift his foot, Qin Xue ran in front of him, stopped him, knelt on the ground, "Please help me, second brother. "

Yang Yong was startled, and bent to help her up, Qin Xue grabbed his arm, "I beg my second brother."

"This matter, the fourth child can also do it." Yang Yong had already guessed what Qin Xue meant, hesitation appeared on his face, and he seemed to refuse.

"I know that anyone in the Yang family can do it, but it's best for the second brother to come forward." Qin Xue wanted to kowtow, but was grabbed by Yang Yong.

Yang Shun didn't intend to beg together, he didn't want to embarrass Yang Yong, looked at the two kneeling and standing, and chose to remain silent.

After a long time, seeing Qin Xue's pale face, fearing that she would not be able to hold on, Yang Yong sighed, "If I help you this time, Second Brother won't be able to get away."

"Second brother please." Qin Xue insisted on bowing, but Yang Yong didn't stop her, and slowly let go, accepting her salute.

"Forget it, as a member of the Yang family, how can I have the opportunity to 'stay out of the matter'?" Yang Yong helped Qin Xue up, "I will talk to the emperor about this matter, Qin Xue can rest assured."

"Second Brother Xie." Qin Xue looked at Yang Yong gratefully, and only then could she truly feel at ease about Song Xiang's situation.

Yang Yongxian was involved in political affairs and had never participated in gang power struggles. Song Zhenzong knew this better than anyone else, and he also understood that he would not discuss the prince's affairs indiscriminately. Now that he proposed to retrial the prince's case, Song Zhenzong would calm down and listen to many parties It is said that no matter what the result is, after Song Zhenzong received Yang Yong's letter, the rumors that Song Xiang is not the prince will turn around, and he can also pass this period of time safely.

Inside the house, Qin Xue took the decoction from Song Xiang and patted him on the head lightly, "You are really blessed, so many people are willing to protect you."

"Qin Xue really doesn't want to tell me what happened?"

"It's not appropriate for me to tell you about this matter. When that person wants to tell you, you will know." Qin Xue took a sip of the medicinal soup and frowned bitterly.

"Is that person Father?" Song Xiang sat sideways beside Qin Xue's bed, staring at the window of the swinging tree shadow, "He doesn't want me anymore, does he?"

Qin Xue put down the medicine bowl and took Song Xiang's hand, "How could it be? He loves you the most and will never do that."

"Then, what else will happen?"

"It's a complicated matter, related to your mother, if..." Before Qin Xue finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Hua Jieyu stepped into the room with a complicated expression on his face. He looked at Song Xiang with a meaningful look in his eyes Unidentified, he raised his voice and said: "There is news from Xungu Village that a woman rushed to see the prince and said her name is 'Liu'e'."

Song Xiang stood up abruptly, "Mother?"

"Does that person look normal?" Qin Xue was puzzled. Now that the news of Song Xiang's stay in Xunguzhuang has been spread, there may be some bold people trying their best to meet him.

"Master Qin knew that you would ask this question, let him answer, 'everything is normal, too normal'."

Song Xiang looked at Qin Xue, "I'm going to Xunguzhuang."

Qin Xue lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then replied: "No, if Xiaojiu rushes to Xungu Village rashly, she may be attacked on the way, which is too dangerous. Huaniang sent someone to send a letter to her father, asking him to bring the girl to Changping in ten days. , father must also come. Then ask the second brother to send a secret letter to the emperor to explain the matter. None of us know Empress Liu, only the emperor can recognize her."

"The emperor is here? Will he?" Hua Jieyu was puzzled.

"Yes, the emperor will definitely come." Qin Xue was absolutely sure.

Ten days later, Qin Han rushed to Changping City first, and walked into the magistrate's yamen with the woman named 'Liu E'.

Song Xiang was placed in the house by Qin Xue and did not intend to let him meet Liu E.I followed the crowd to meet the woman in the front hall, with light eyebrows and cherry mouth and willow eyebrows. At first glance, although she is not a beautiful woman, she is complemented by the dignified atmosphere of her whole body, which makes people feel very close.

"Are you Qin Xue?" The woman spoke first, without asking where Song Xiang was.

"Yes." Qin Xue bowed her knees and bowed slightly.

The woman nodded in return and looked around at everyone, "What? He didn't come?"

"Counting the time, I should arrive today, maybe it was delayed by something, Madam please wait here for a few days."

"You are smart." The woman sized Qin Xue up, "Sure enough, you have the heroic appearance of your mother back then."

Qin Xue was taken aback for a moment, then said for a while, "Madam has seen my mother?"

"It's the person I call my elder sister. She was as old as you and rescued me from the Liao people. The Xungu Village back then was the world created by your mother's hard work. Your father, Qin Han, was only from Yongle City. A little catcher, after that, he married your mother and became the owner of the No. [-] villa in the world."

Qin Xue looked at Qin Han who was sitting in the main seat, and he nodded, confirming what the woman said.

"Then why doesn't father recognize you?" Qin Xue was puzzled.

"Your mother and I only met once. What's more, she hadn't married Qin Han at that time. After I was rescued, I returned home, and not long after, I married that person. Of course, his At that time, he was not a king above ten thousand people, but a gentle and refined prince."

From the woman's eyes, she could see her nostalgia and nostalgia for those days, and there was a deep regret hidden in her smiling eyebrows.

"Why doesn't Madam want Xiaojiu anymore?" Qin Xue asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Xiao Jiu? Do you call him 'Xiao Jiu'?" The woman was surprised and delighted, and sighed: "He has a brother or sister, also named 'Xiao Jiu', who is the second child of me and that person. But, On the day I escaped, the child was gone. He didn't even let me see his appearance. I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. I miss him and hope he stays with me for a long time " After a long time, the woman sighed and said, "Perhaps he likes his father more, so he doesn't want to go with me."

Qin Xue kept silent, frowned slightly, and stared at the woman's sad face. Her appearance was very pitiful, but she had an inexplicable strength that made it difficult to look away from her. Zhenzong has a good vision, she is an attractive woman, but unfortunately, she is not a competent 'wife' and 'mother'.

After a long time, the woman said calmly: "When I met that person for the first time, we already had a marriage contract. My husband loves me very much, but I betrayed him. For this reason, I blame myself every day, even though I live with that person I am very happy, but there is always a guilt in my heart. Until Xianger was born, this guilt gradually turned into anxiety, which haunted me like a nightmare all day long. Until one day, I heard that my husband was seriously ill. Living alone and alone, I felt that this was a chance God gave me to rehabilitate and let me repay this sin before his death. So I ran to find him and abandoned that person and Xianger. "

Qin Xue sized her up, "Ma'am is not wearing mourning clothes, is it because your husband has been blessed and has not passed away, or has the mourning period passed?"

"He passed away the year I escaped."

"Then why, don't you go back to that person?"

"I think he doesn't want to see me, let alone wait for me. Just like now, you made me wait for ten days, isn't it just to wait for him to come?" The woman sneered, "But, he didn't come. Actually, I know the result, so why should I try it?"

"Who said I didn't want to see you? Who said I didn't wait for you?" Song Zhenzong's voice came from outside the hall.
