Chapter 255 Arrived in Lin'an
"Bastard!"
The leader cursed angrily, glared at Song Ci fiercely, and shouted to the group of soldiers surrounding Song Ci:
"killed!"
Then he led the rest of the people and hurried towards the granary.
Su Zhe, who was hiding in the dark, was waiting for this opportunity. As soon as the large group of people left, he led his men out from the dark.
"Aci!"
Su Zhe knocked down several people and rushed to Song Ci.
"You? Why are you here?!"
Song Ci was shocked, but when the people brought by Su Zhe joined the battle, her pressure suddenly eased.
"It's a long story, just follow me!"
Everyone chopped down the remaining enemies on the city wall and quickly set up a rope ladder from the top of the city wall.
The clamor of fighting in the city grew louder, and fires erupted simultaneously in several locations, not just the granary. Guards at the South Gate were already few in number, and the leader, convinced that Song Ci was already at the end of his strength, had taken away the reinforcements. The South Gate was now empty.
Looking from a high place, Su Zhe looked anxiously at the empty streets.
I don’t know how long I waited, but five figures appeared in the night, and after a few takeoffs and landings, they landed in front of Su Zhe and others.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly!"
Everyone worked together, jumped down from the city wall using a rope ladder, and escaped into the vast night.
The granary in the city not only stored food for the border town defenders, but also stored some food for the front line. Su Zhe and others had hit the jackpot.
The leader and his team finally put out the fire, but nearly 20% of the food in the granary was lost.
"General, the fire is really strange."
The subordinate smelled the burnt aroma in the air and moved closer to speak.
"Humph, the people of Daqi are truly treacherous! They openly stole corpses from the city wall, but secretly set fire to the food here. How did they get in here?"
The leader cursed at his men.
All the subordinates lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"Increase security in the city and conduct a city-wide search."
"Yes!"
The city was still in chaos, but Su Zhe and others had already run far away under the cover of night.
Before entering the city, their horses hid in the forest outside the city. Seeing that there were no pursuers from the city, they found a secluded cave to rest and discuss the next steps.
Song Ci was kneeling on the ground, having taken off the large cloth bag on his back and placed it in front of him.
"Ah Ci."
Su Zhe walked to Song Ci cautiously. He wanted to ask Song Ci what happened tonight, but when he saw the scene in front of Song Ci, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead.
Inside the cloth bag was a pile of white bones.
"When we said goodbye at the pavilion, my father laughed at me when he saw the clothes I had made for him. I promised him that I would study hard and make him a spring shirt when spring comes."
pat!
A tear fell on the bones.
Song Ci's whole body trembled, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the ground, saying in a lost voice:
"Dad, that Beimang man said it was the Han people who killed you. Dad, tell me who it was! Tell me, I'm going to pull him out and chop him into pieces, drink his blood, gnaw his flesh, grind his bones into ashes, and make him suffer the same pain as you did!"
"father!"
Song Ci burst into tears.
Looking at the remains of Marquis Zhenbei, Su Zhe was also shocked.
A famous general ended up like this after his death!
He knelt on the ground and said to the body:
"Father-in-law, Ah Ci and I will avenge you together, and I will also redress your injustice. Rest in peace."
"Ah Ci, my father-in-law has suffered so much. Let's bury him as soon as possible. Ah Ci?"
Su Zhe turned his head and saw that Song Ci's face was pale with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Looking more closely, he saw that there were many scars on her chest, and there was a big hole in her chest with blood dripping out, which had formed a small pool on the ground in front of the remains.
"Aci!"
With Su Zhe's scream, Song Ci fell to the ground with a thud.
……
The spring breeze blows in February.
Unlike the bitterly cold north, the gradually warming south of the Yangtze River is already full of spring, with grass growing and birds singing, and flowers blooming everywhere.
Jiangnan has been a prosperous and wealthy place since ancient times. Ever since the general's ship passed through Jinling, the scenery on both sides of the river has become more and more beautiful.
The atmosphere on the boat was very solemn.
Ever since Pei Heng's old injury recurred, the old lady had been in tears day and night, and Su Li had been constantly caring for her. Xi Jie'er was heartbroken, and for the past few days, she had been crying with the old lady every day, but she was still a child, and she quickly got used to it.
Besides, she had long been accustomed to Pei Heng lying in bed immobile for three years. Now her father had simply returned to that state.
Also, she firmly believed in her heart that since her mother was so powerful that she could help her father stand up again after lying down for three years, she would definitely be able to help her father wake up again now.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
Huan Ge'er, however, was smart enough to know what was going on the next morning after only one glance at "Pei Heng" lying in bed. As they were almost at Lin'an Prefecture, Huan Ge'er found a quiet time and spoke directly to Su Li:
"Mom, Dad should be crossing the Longyou Road soon."
Su Li was stunned at first, then asked:
"Where is the flaw?"
Huan Ge'er shook his head and said:
“I wasn’t quite sure before, but now I am.”
What a great boy! He actually cheated me!
Su Li raised her hand to support her forehead.
She considered herself to be quite smart, but she was still too naive in front of her precocious and almost magical son, and was exposed after being fooled by him.
"Mom, please be careful next time and don't let someone trick you into revealing your identity."
Huan Ge glanced at Su Li calmly, and before turning away, he reminded her,
"Dad has old injuries on his limbs. Although others won't take off his clothes and pants to see, he still has to perform the whole act."
"Oh." Su Li nodded.
"Also, although Aunt Lian's disguise is similar, there are still differences between male and female pulses. Aside from Elder Fei, don't let anyone get close to Aunt Lian, especially doctors and those who understand medicine."
This time, even "Pei Heng" on the bed widened his eyes in shock.
Lian Rong disguised herself as Pei Heng. Apart from Su Li and Pei Heng, only Song Zhi and Song Tao knew about this. How did Huan Ge'er know about it?
"How did you know?"
"Don't worry, mother. I haven't told anyone. I'm going to see Aunt Lu now. We're going to disembark in half a day, so you should hurry up and get ready."
As soon as Huan Ge'er left, Lian Rong on the bed blinked at Su Li repeatedly. Su Li was busy trying to comfort her, but also sighed:
"I have such a smart son. Next time, I should tell him in advance so that he won't be angry with me behind my back and speak in a sarcastic tone."
The journey was smooth and the boat quickly reached the shore after a half-day journey.
Uncle San's family had been waiting at the dock for half a day, counting the days in advance. When they saw the big ship with the word "Pei" on it approaching, they all jumped up excitedly.
"I'm coming!"
As soon as the boat reached the shore and the planks were put up, the fifth and sixth girls rushed up like flying swallows. The third uncle and his aunt also came up to greet them with a group of servants.
"Mother, I've been waiting for you to come."
Uncle San's family was busy paying their respects.
Seeing Ah Li coming out with the children, Third Aunt greeted them with a smile:
"A-Li! Eh? What happened to Heng-ge?"
