The mountain road is rugged, and the frosted mountain road is even more slippery.

The night was gloomy, and there was a strong smell of blood in the forest.

"Over there!" The knife-carrying guard frantically chased the exhausted people in front, watching them disappear into the bushes.

"It must be near here! Search!"

"Zhong'er, you are hiding here!" Du Rufeng looked at his children in despair, "Daddy, go and lure them away!"

"Husband..." Mo shi held onto his hand tightly, she knew that Du Rufeng would never come back once he left.

Du Rufeng choked up and said: "As the head of the family, I can't let you have trouble! My lady, I will work hard for you in the future."

"Father!" Du Zhong looked at his father with red eyes, and firmly grasped his other hand, "No!"

"Zhong'er, you will support this family from now on! Don't cry!" Du Rufeng brushed his hand away, and looked at Du Ruo who was still dazed and confused, "Go to your uncle and find a way to cure Ruo Ruo. Son."

"Uncle Du..." Although Ah Liang didn't get along with Du Rufeng for too long, the warmth of Xuanhutang was enough to make him fall in love with him, and he was also reluctant to sacrifice Du Rufeng.

"It's all my fault..." Wan'er lowered her head and bit her lip in self-reproach.

Chen Shuisu shook his head with tears in his eyes, "I didn't expect the headmaster to be such a ruthless person!"

The master has returned to the Lingshu courtyard obediently, why do you want to kill them all?

"As soon as I lure them away, you will flee in the opposite direction, do you understand?" Du Rufeng knew that he could not hesitate any longer, he broke away from Mo's hand, and stood up suddenly from the grass.

"there!"

Du Rufeng deliberately shook the long grass under him with both arms, and he yelled, "Follow me!"

"Chase!"

The guards of the Lingshu Academy chased after him with their knives, and finally ran away.

Mo's sobbed: "Children, let's go!"

"what--!"

Not long after they ran in the opposite direction, Du Rufeng's miserable cry sounded in the forest.

"father!"

"Husband!"

"Uncle Master!"

"Uncle Du!"

Tears welled up in the eyes, but now is not the time to be sad at all, if you don't run away quickly, no one can survive!

Mo's hoarse voice urged: "Hurry up!"

Several people could only wipe away the tears on their faces and continue to flee.

"Caught in the trap! Hurry up!"

The guards of the Spiritual Shuyuan turned around and suddenly released a loud arrow into the sky.

Another wave of killers dressed as the guards of the Spiritual Shuyuan saw the ringing arrow and chased them in the direction they were fleeing. It didn't take long for them to appear in their sight.

"Mother, there is Dutou ahead!" Du Zhong shouted anxiously with Du Ruo on his back.

Mo looked anxiously, and saw that there was a small boat at the ferry, "Cross the river!"

The river murmured, and a ray of light gradually appeared on the horizon.

Du Zhong jumped into the boat first, put Du Ruo down, and then helped Wan'er and Ah Liang into the boat, and said to Chen Shuisu: "Shuisu, come!"

Chen Shuisu held Du Zhong's hand and let Du Zhong help her into the boat.But she was surprised to find that the small boat was too small, and after a few people got on it, the boat was already very heavy, and as long as it was shaken, cold river water would pour into the boat.

"Mother, come up quickly!" Du Zhong caught a glimpse of the pursuer getting closer, he stretched out his hand hastily, "Hurry up!"

Mo Shi untied the rope that tied the boat, but smiled tearfully, "My child has grown up, so I don't need to worry about it anymore."

"Mother!" Du Zhong shook his head in tears, already knowing what his mother wanted to do.

Mo shi leaned down and pushed the boat away, "Live well! Zhong'er, Ruo'er, take care!"

The small boat can't carry so many people, and the husband is dead, so he should follow after him!

"Not good! They are going to run away!"

The killer rushed to the ferry, but it was too late to jump into the boat.

"I don't allow you to hurt my child!" Mo Shi suddenly hugged the killer in the lead, trying to stop him from going forward, "Zhong'er, Ruo'er, go!"

"Looking for death!" The killer drew his knife, and pierced Mo Shi's chest fiercely.

As the blade left his body, Mo Shi opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, but still hugged the killer's feet tightly, "I will fight with you!"

"Mother!" Du Zhong let out a heart-piercing cry.

Du Ruo's body trembled suddenly, she stared blankly at the tragic death of her mother on the ferry, a ripple flashed in her eyes like stagnant water.

"Don't let them run away! Let the arrows go!" the killer yelled.

The five assassins behind them set up their arrows and mounted their crossbows, aiming at the five people on the small boat.

"Children, go!"

At the moment the first one left the string, Mo Shi stood up with his last breath, blocked the five arrows with his body, and finally fell down the ferry and fell into the river.

"Useless stuff!" The killer leader snatched one of the guns, put on an arrow, aimed at Du Ruo's head, and pulled the trigger.

"call out!"

"Xiao Ruo, be careful!" Chen Shuisu had sharp eyes, and wanted to pull A Ruo up, but the boat was too small, and her movement was too big, causing the boat to capsize, and everyone on board fell into the river.

"Ah!" Chen Shuisu cried out in pain, the arrow pierced into her shoulder, it was a heart-pounding pain.

Ah Liang and Wan'er are really too young, the two of them were washed away by the river and drifted far away.

Du Zhong supported his sister's sinking body with one hand, and swam desperately with the other, gradually approaching Chen Shuisu, "Shuisu, don't be afraid, I'll save you!"

"Take...Take Xiaoruo away..." Chen Shuisu struggled to keep herself afloat in the water, but every time she stroked the water, the wound felt a sharp pain, and she didn't know how long she could last, "Hurry up, Brother Zhong!"

"Shuisu..." Du Zhong shook his head in despair, "No, I can save you! I can definitely save you!"

Chen Shuisu shook his head, "I'm going to die soon... Take Xiao Ruo away... You all have to live well... Do you hear me?"

"Here they are! Hurry up and chase them down the river!" The killer still didn't intend to let them go, several killers jumped into the river and swam towards them frantically.

"Dai Xiaoruo...don't let me down...live well!" Chen Shuisu glanced at Du Ruo, who was still dazed, distressedly, then turned around, stretched out his arms, and while paddling, he was going to stop those few swimming over. The killer said, "Brother Zhong! Let's go!"

Du Zhong nodded heavily with a sob, hooked Du Ruo, turned around, and swam desperately to the other side.

Du Ruo stared blankly at Chen Shuisu's back, feeling some inexplicable soreness in her eyes, and subconsciously said, "Water...water..."

"Sister! Brother will take you away!" Du Zhong safely swam to the shore, not daring to look back at Chen Shuisu. What happened tonight was so sudden that he felt so painful that he was about to suffocate.

With his father and mother gone, Shui Su would not be able to survive, if he and his sister could not survive well, what face would he have to face them on Jiuquan Road?

Thinking of this, Du Zhong took Du Ruo on his back, ran into the reed marsh without looking back, and disappeared without a trace.

"call out!"

Just when the killer was about to slash at Chen Shuisu, a cold arrow hit his wrist squarely.

A group of family generals appeared on the shore, Chen Shuisu recognized that they were soldiers and horses of Song Palace.

"Who dares to kill people in the suburbs of Baling?!" The general shouted sharply, "Your Highness has an order, save people quickly!"

"promise!"

Chen Shuisu knew that her life was saved today, but what about Brother Zhong and Xiao Ruo who escaped, will they have a chance to meet again in the future?

When Chen Shuisu was rescued and returned to Song Palace, Yan Yunshen came to visit in person, ordered the maids to take good care of her, and then left the room.

"How are things going?"

"Return to Your Highness, the brothers and sisters of the Du family still ran away."

"Useless things!"

"It's not difficult to lure them back, just take the bones of their parents..."

"Forget it... Even if they dare to come back, they will only point the finger at the Lingshu Academy, and have nothing to do with this king."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Pretend to bury their parents properly in the name of Prince Song's Mansion."

"promise!"

Yan Yun waved his hand tiredly, signaling that the family would retreat.

A young servant stepped forward quickly and said: "Your Highness, today I intercepted a white pigeon that flew out of the Lingshu Academy. This is the letterhead in the white pigeon's letter bag." handed over.

Yan Yunshen opened the letterhead, and said coldly: "I want to invite Mr. Xu to enter the palace to save Brother Huang, how can this king do what you wish?"

"Your Highness?"

"Let me revise a book, and you will send it to the prime minister's residence in a while. It is inconvenient for me to do these things."

"promise."

Yan Yunshen handed back the letter in his hand to the boy, "Let the white dove continue to carry the letter, don't startle the snake these days."

"promise."

Yan Yun sighed softly, turned around and wanted to go to the study, but thought of another thing, "Is Mr. Lan okay?"

The servant nodded and said: "Someone has been watching secretly, the relationship between Qi Xiangniang and Mr. Lan is probably not simple."

Yan Yun frowned deeply and turned around, "Isn't it simple?"

"The two... I'm afraid they have an affair..." The servant replied awkwardly.

Yan Yun laughed deeply, "It's really strange these days, master likes students, madam likes women!"

"Isn't it? It's ridiculous!"

"Fortunately, there are such absurd things!" Yan Yunshen said something in his words, and waved his hand, "You come to the study with me, I still have some things for you to do."

"promise."

Within a few days, the first snow of the year fell in Baling City.

Wrapped in snow-white fox fur, Shang Qingdai stood under the eaves of the palace, looked into the distance, and murmured: "This year's snow fell really early."

Gong'e behind her replied with a smile: "My lady, the snow fell early this year, and the spring may start early next year."

"Really?" Shang Qingdai responded lightly, turned her head, and looked at the maid quietly for a long time, "What's your name?"

Gong'e knelt down on the ground in fear, and said, "My maidservant's name is Zhilan."

"You don't have to be afraid of me." Shang Qingdai brushed the fox fur on her body, "Get up."

"No." Zhilan stood up obediently.

Shang Qingdai looked at her a few more times, such a timid look was very similar to A Ruo.

It's getting cold, I don't know how many more clothes A Ruoke will wear?

Heart, suddenly tugged, cold to the heart.

Shang Qingdai took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."

"Where is the empress going?" Zhilan asked in a low voice.

Shang Qingdai said in a cool voice: "Go to see the Queen Mother first, and then go to see the Empress Dowager."

This is the only thing she can do for Ah Ruo.
