Chapter 179 Old Debts
Chu Jue, disguised as a bearded man, was brought in by the guards.
He anxiously scanned everyone and asked with concern, "Where are my cousin and the prince?"
"I wonder who you are...?" Xie Pingbei asked cautiously.
Chu Jue quickly tore off two long mustaches and looked at Xie Pingbei and said:
"I'm Chu Jue. My father asked me to tell you something. His Majesty already knows the secret of your Xie family!"
As soon as these words came out.
Xie Pingbei and the old concubine's expressions changed instantly.
Their secret...Xie Lingxi's life experience?
The other members of the Xie family looked confused and had no idea what had happened.
"Now the emperor has ordered my father and the prince to capture you and kill you without mercy. You should run away quickly! Where is the prince and my cousin?" Chu Jue asked with concern.
Xie Ruojiao hadn't come back to her senses yet, and said in a daze, "My brother and sister-in-law are not in the capital, so who is your cousin?"
"That's your sister-in-law. OK, they're not in the capital, so I'm relieved!" Chu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the Xie family and said, "Hurry up and run. I have arranged a passage, but too many people will be too conspicuous and easy to be discovered. I can only take a few people away, you discuss who will run with me?"
"Thank you, Captain Chu! Your kindness will always be remembered by the Xie family." Xie Pingbei expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Although the Xie family army was elite, it was almost impossible for them to break out from the emperor's heavy encirclement.
Mingxinsi secretly assisted them and arranged a way out for them.
"Don't be polite, my cousin is your daughter-in-law, and we are family." Chu Jue patted his chest.
Xie Pingbei knew that this day might come.
He brought Xie Lingxi back not to let him compete for that position, but just to let him live a free life.
However, once the emperor learned of his existence, he would definitely not tolerate him and the Xie family.
This was his choice, he was loyal and righteous, and he had no regrets.
But the rest of the Xie family...
I don't know anything.
They are innocent.
He wanted to send the kids away.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son..." Xie Pingbei knelt down in front of the old concubine and kowtowed heavily: "I can no longer be filial to you. Please take the children and leave."
The old concubine had tears in her eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? I am over 70 years old and you are still young. In the future... the court will need you, and the North will need you. You can't die here. You take the children away, and I will guard the Xie family. I will go to the emperor in person to ask if he was the one who killed your father and Crown Prince Zhaoren!"
She was already old, but when she stood out with a cane, she looked like a towering tree.
Just like standing up when the Xie family army was destroyed in the previous life.
The old concubine always stands up when the Xie family falls.
"The Xie family has a successor, and I don't need to worry about the North anymore. Over the years, for Daxia, for Northern Xinjiang, and for the Xie family, I have endured long enough. Please allow me to stay and fight!" Xie Pingbei's eyes were red and he kowtowed heavily.
Nineteen years ago, Northern Xinjiang suffered a great defeat.
One hundred thousand soldiers of Xie family were destroyed and his father was killed in the battle.
The current Xie family army was rebuilt bit by bit by him.
As the commander-in-chief of the Xie family army and as a son, he has never forgotten this blood debt. However, they have compromised too much for the stability of Daxia and the northern border.
Now the emperor has killed them all, and all the old debts should be settled today!
Even if I die here.
"Since you refuse to leave, then my mother and I will stay here and settle accounts with the emperor together!" Seeing that he was determined, the old concubine did not force him.
She knew that she couldn't persuade her son.
Xie Pingbei was unable to persuade the concubine either.
Then they went together to ask the emperor for an explanation!
Xie Pingbei stood up, looked at Xie Yuanwen and said, "Yuanwen, you are the eldest son. I leave your younger brothers and sisters to you. After you leave the city, go find Ling Xi. Don't worry, he can protect you."
Xie Yuanwen had not yet recovered from all this, and he did not understand a word his grandmother and father said.
I just vaguely understand one key point!
It seems that their family has a grudge against the emperor? Now the emperor is trying to kill them all?
What's the point of looking for Xie Lingxi?
No matter where they can escape to, they will be caught sooner or later.
At this moment, he resented his ancestors very much.
What did he do to offend the emperor and even implicate him, a junior?
It was unfortunate for him to be born in the Xie family.
"No! Dad, I won't go. I won't leave you and grandma! If we have to go, let's go together." Xie Ruojiao didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't want to be separated from them, so she held the old concubine's arm tightly.
The old concubine burst into tears and rubbed Xie Ruojiao's head, "Be obedient and go find your second brother."
Xie Pingbei felt even more uncomfortable when he saw this scene. He looked at Chu Jue and said:
"Captain Chu, thank you for your help!"
Chu Jue was very shocked, he seemed to have heard some huge secret, and went back to ask his father.
The most important thing at this time is to send the Xie family bloodline out first.
"It's okay, leave it to me!" Chu Jue hugged the little Xie Lingan in his arms, and then looked at Xie Ruojiao and others and said:
"Follow me!"
Concubine Li was anxious, "My Lord, can Ruo'e come with us?"
She didn't know whether her daughter was included in their planned evacuation.
"Of course, you and Ruo'e go together!" Xie Pingbei said.
Concubine Li's eyes were moistened instantly, "My Lord, you..."
"Don't worry about me, just go quickly." Xie Pingbei said.
…
Outside the Northern Palace.
Murong Shicheng announced loudly: "The Xie family has plotted to murder the emperor, and they are guilty of heinous crimes. In compliance with the order of your majesty, we are arresting the Xie family rebels. If anyone resists, we will kill them without mercy!"
"promise!"
The imperial guards received the order and countless bows and crossbows flew towards the Northern Prince's Palace.
They even moved a few cannons and bombarded the Xie family.
Xie Pingbei led his troops out of the palace and fought with the Beijing guards with a small number of palace soldiers.
And the backyard of the Northern Prince's Palace.
Chu Jue put on his beard again and quietly escaped with the Xie family.
Chu Shouchen deliberately left a loophole, with Xie Pingbei in front to attract attention and Ming Xinsi behind to cover...
Chu Jue and his men successfully escaped from the palace.
But he had not gone far when he was discovered by the prince's men, who chased and blocked him all the way.
…
Chu Jue and the Xie family ran around in the alleys of the capital.
Xie Ruojiao was afraid that crying out loud would attract the enemy's attention, so she could only cry silently. While running, she looked back in the direction of the Xie family.
"Shh! Don't make any noise, there are people ahead, hide here!" Chu Jue was about to lead them through an alley.
But once he climbed over the wall, he found that there were pursuers on the other side.
Attack from front and back.
We could only find an empty room for everyone to hide in for the time being.
But the footsteps are getting closer...
At the critical moment, Xie Yuanwen suddenly picked up the dagger he carried with him and put it on the neck of Concubine Li beside him.
Chu Jue's expression changed instantly, and he lowered his voice, "What are you doing!"
"It's only a matter of time before they find this place. We need someone to lead the pursuers away..." Xie Yuanwen stared fiercely at Xie Ruo'e who was beside Concubine Li:
"Go out and divert the pursuers!"
