Chapter 308： chase

Zhou Shan thought of the old beggar, and remembered the days when he was begging together and couldn't get enough food, and felt a little sad.

"Huinan, outside the city of Yangzhou. It is said that the Yellow River flooded, Grandpa Hai's hometown was flooded, and his family was swept away by the water. He went out to work and escaped, so he could only come out as a refugee. Seeing me only Sitting in the grass in his jacket and crying, he remembered his little grandson who had just turned one year old, so he picked me up. Yangzhou city was blocked and the refugees were not allowed to enter the city, so he took me all the way north to beg."

She nodded to show that she knew, thinking that there was no need to reply, he should be back soon.

"Mother, why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Zhou Yong asked suspiciously.

"Your father just sent me a letter today, entrusted to me. There should be clues about Zhou Shan's life experience, so I couldn't wait to write back." She didn't plan to hide it from them, which is a good thing.

"What about the letter?" they asked in unison.

Pei Xiu showed the letter to them, and the children did not fight for it, and handed the letter to Zhou Shan to let him read it first.

Pei Xiu was also very relieved to see their rare brother and brother's act.

Although they often hit a chopstick rest at the dinner table because of a piece of meat, they still love and care for each other at critical times.

Zhou Shan took the letter excitedly. After so many years, although he is now living a well-off life, he still wants to know who his biological parents are? Why throw him away?

Now that he has a chance to find out, he is a little timid about the nostalgia. After looking at them who cared about him, he took the letter.

Pei Xiu knew that nothing was written in the letter, so she just asked her to check the soles of her feet and ask again.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Shan, who had read the letter, handed the letter to several others with a disappointed face.

They didn't understand why he looked like this, and they only knew after seeing it.

"Mom, why didn't Dad say anything in the letter?" The third child said disappointedly.

"It may be that he thinks that he might get home faster than a letter, and he may not say it face-to-face."

"When will Dad come back?" The second child was really worried for Zhou Shan.

"I don't know, it should be soon. It's the beginning of July now, wait patiently for a few more days to see."

"Alright then." The second child patted Zhou Shan on the shoulder, silently comforting him.

Zhou Shan pretended not to care and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Uncle Zhou and my aunt treat me like my own, and I never thought of looking for my parents. The sea of ​​people is vast, Yangzhou is here with us. There are thousands of mountains and rivers away.”

When he was nine years old without a parent and no mother, he suddenly heard the news that he might have his biological parents, how could he not be excited or care.

He just didn't want everyone to worry, everyone was so kind to him, and he was afraid that after finding his biological parents, he would leave them.

"Yes, mother, Zhou Shan's home should be near Yangzhou City. Dad is going to the capital. How can there be clues? Is there a mistake?"

The boss also reacted at once, no wonder he just felt as if something was wrong.

"I don't know, it didn't say in the letter, you will find out when your father comes back."

"Dad is coming back soon. It's early July, and we've been gone for two and a half months." The third child counted with his fingers.

This time I counted right, it's time to come back.

But they didn't count the accident that happened in the capital, and all the vassal kings delayed their return to their fiefs.

Pei Xiu and the others looked up every day, looking forward to when Zhou Cheng would come back, but they never waited for anyone. The heart couldn't help but mention it, wondering if something happened in the capital or on the road.

The second young master caused a lot of resentment in the city, and there were even fewer hawkers setting up stalls, and no one in the palace maintained order.

The King of Liaodong didn't come back beyond the expected time, and everyone couldn't help guessing whether something was wrong. Recently, the flow of people in the city has also decreased a lot.

Every mansion kept a low profile, and Pei Xiu didn't dare to hold a birthday banquet at this time, so he kissed her daughter, "Your father broke his promise, and he's going to wrong you again."

What she didn't know was that Zhou Cheng couldn't enter the house twice, and the whole group was still being hunted down.

As soon as they left Liaodong, they fell into an ambush by a group of masked men in black on the only way to the capital.

General Yun Hui took out his saber and said, "Be careful, there are only a hundred or so of them. Pick two of them to protect Lord Yushi, and the others will rush with me and disrupt their formation."

"Yes." They clenched their long knives and rushed forward after General Yun Hui. Zhou Cheng and the generals of the palace also followed behind and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

These people are all generals in the barracks who can fight one against ten and have experienced hundreds of battles. The prince was afraid that there would be accidents on the road, so he handed out the news and asked the prince to arrange a few more brave and good generals to go to Liaodong.

General Yun Hui also brought elite soldiers. This group of men in black were well-trained and listened to orders. Unfortunately, they were weaker than them.

What's more, they also had these generals from the Liaodong Palace, all of them were extremely brave. They annihilated the team of more than 100 people with the lowest losses.

After a search, there were no marks on these men in black to prove their identities. The trajectory of the nearby activities can only be determined, and they have just been ambushed in a hurry nearby.

"General Qi, we have lost twenty-two people."

"Well, write down their names and bury them on the spot. Pack up your bags, fix them in place for a quarter of an hour, and wrap up those that should be wrapped."

After General Yun Hui finished speaking, he walked towards Doctor Censor, "Master Censor, please follow me on the next journey. It shouldn't be peaceful all the way, so let's be careful."

"These people are also armed with knives. They look the same as those trained in the army. They must be officers and soldiers." Deputy Captain Yang sat on the side and analyzed.

General Yun Hui thought so too. When they fought, he knew that these people were well-trained and definitely not bandits.

General Zheng also nodded ~ It may be someone from other vassal kings who wanted to prevent us from entering the capital and prevent the prince from making contributions. Be careful with your next itinerary. Vice-Captain Yang, you should also protect Lord Censor. "

"Okay." Deputy Commander Yang had no objection, Lord Censor is very important to them now.

Sure enough, the rest of the way was unbalanced, and basically you could meet a team of people every other day.

The most dangerous thing is tonight, the mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Seeing that they could reach the capital in just two days, they almost lost all of them here.

In the past few days, they have encountered three waves of people, and the number of teams has been decreasing, but each time they encounter more teams than them.

Because of the constant assassinations along the way, most of them were injured and could not travel with all their strength. They had already walked two days longer than expected, and it would take another two days to reach the capital.

I can't make it to the post station tonight, so I can only sleep in the wild.
