Chapter 364 The knife is poisonous
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, this saying is embodied in Meixiang. It may not be seen at ordinary times, but every time when encountering a critical moment, everyone in the Liu Mansion, from young to old, regardless of their age, will be unprecedentedly united.
Liu Xiaomei was anxiously wondering how to inform Xiaosan, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Xiaosan and his younger brother and sister running towards them in a hurry not far away.
Seeing Meixiang falling softly in Situ Yidong's arms, Xiao San felt her eyes darken and her body shook unconsciously. Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly. She never expected that the thing she feared the most would happen. At this moment, she felt that their world was about to fall.
"How is the lady?" Xiao San tried hard to suppress his emotions and tried not to let his voice tremble.
Liu Xiaomei could understand Xiaosan's current mood the best, but now was not the best time to explain, and she did not have the energy to comfort him. She just quickly ordered: "The knife is poisonous, and the poisonous blood has been sucked out. Quick, take your sister-in-law and follow."
The children from the Liu family were well-educated. When the younger children, such as Xiao Shiqi and Xiao Shiba, saw the scene, although they were very anxious, they did not show any panic. They did not cry, convulse, or make a noise like the other children.
They all had pale faces and looked worriedly at Meixiang who was lying in Situ Yidong's arms. The older ones held the younger ones' hands and trotted closely behind Liu Xiaomei and Xiao San. Although they could not help much, they would never allow themselves to become a burden to them at this time.
In Fuzhou City, amidst the chattering people, a scene like this suddenly appeared: a tall and resolute man carefully held an injured and unconscious girl in his arms, and two pretty girls, one leading the way in front, and the other guarding the two people to prevent the sudden arrival of the people from accidentally bumping into them. Behind the four people, there were a dozen children of different ages.
"Who are you? Where do you live? Why are you leaving the city?" The soldier guarding the city gate stretched out his hand to stop them.
Although there were reasons for this, a large number of people were stranded in the city due to the Harvest Festival. In order to prevent the people from protesting due to dissatisfaction, which would have created an opportunity for the murderer, the gates of Fuzhou City were not completely closed, but the inspection of people leaving the city was strengthened.
"Please call your captain over." Liu Xiaomei looked at the soldier who stopped them. She didn't make things difficult for him or explain much. She simply held up Situ Yidong's jade pendant and asked him to go and call the captain. Ordinary soldiers could rarely recognize the identity behind this jade pendant.
result......
The soldier who stopped them didn't understand what Liu Xiaomei meant. He just stabbed the spear in his hand into the ground with a clang and shouted angrily, "Be good and cooperate with us. Our boss has ordered that we must inspect today even if the emperor comes. It's no use asking our boss to come!"
Liu Xiaomei was so angry that smoke almost came out of her head. She glared at him fiercely and said, "Open the city gate quickly. You can't afford to delay things." Then she pushed the jade pendant in her hand in front of him again and said, "Take a close look at this jade pendant."
"It's just a broken jade pendant. Do you really think it's an imperial edict? Humph, line up and accept inspection." The soldier's eyes drifted past the jade pendant in front of him. He didn't even see the pattern and words on it and just waved his hand.
Meixiang in Situ Yidong's arms was still motionless, but her face was visibly becoming grayer. If it weren't for her slightly rising and falling chest, Situ Yidong would have been unable to resist putting his hand under her nose to confirm.
He raised his head, glanced at the soldier who had just spoken with red eyes, and said coldly: "If you know this jade pendant, get out of the way. If you don't know it, go find someone who knows it."
The soldier snorted coldly, stiffening his neck and wanting to say something else, but when he looked up and met Situ Yidong's gaze, a chill hit him in the face, and he couldn't help but shiver all over under the midday sun. The words that were in his throat could no longer be uttered.
Another soldier next to him, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, winked at his companion standing behind him, held down the soldier with a gun whose face had changed, and tried to smooth things over: "Sorry, we are short-sighted and cannot recognize your jade pendant. Please wait a moment. Someone has gone to ask our captain."
Time passed by minute by minute, and Liu Xiaomei and the others had never felt that time passed so slowly. Just when Situ Yidong couldn't help but get angry, the captain in charge of the city gate finally ran over.
"I'm sorry, I'm so late!"
Liu Xiaomei looked at the captain with a red face, tried to suppress her anger, and handed the jade pendant to him again, "Excuse me, can we leave the city now?"
After the team leader rubbed his eyes hard and finally saw the jade pendant clearly, he realized that it was the one that the city lord had repeatedly emphasized before leaving. He suddenly felt as if the sky was about to collapse in front of him.
I just felt a surge of blood rushing straight to my brain, my eyes felt dizzy, and cold sweat dripped down my forehead.
"Captain?!" Xiao San shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes, sir, please come in, young ladies." The captain, who was startled back to his senses by Xiao San's voice, responded hastily and turned to the team members standing by the city gate and ordered: "Hurry up and open the city gate and escort the young master out of the city!"
"Captain..." the soldier with the gun shouted, and instinctively moved the silver spear in his hand forward.
"Shut up, you short-sighted guy, I'll settle the score with you later!" The captain cursed harshly and followed Situ Yidun.
Outside the city gate, the Liu family's carriage had already stopped at the city gate. The beautiful woman and Nanny Chen leaned forward and looked anxiously in the direction of the city gate.
As the city gate slowly opened from the inside, Xiao San and Liu Xiao Mei surrounded Situ Yidong and hurried over. "They're coming out! They're coming out!"
Situ Yidong didn't ask anyone else for help and directly carried Meixiang into the carriage that the beautiful woman was riding in.
"What's going on? Is Meixiang's injury serious? Put her down and lie down." The beautiful woman looked at her daughter who was unconscious in Situ Yidong's arms and had no reaction at all, and her heart trembled.
Sitting down quietly, Situ Yidong did not put Meixiang in his arms on the soft mattress that had been laid out in the carriage, but pulled Meixiang closer to his arms and hugged her tighter, as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would never see her again.
"Let's go back to the post station!" He first gave an order to the driver, then turned his gaze to the beautiful woman who was asking the question, "The wound is not serious, the problem is that the knife is poisonous!"
