() Su Jin turned his head and looked at the brilliant stars outside the wooden window and sighed: "I came to Huizhou to burn the enemy's food and grass. When I came, I expected that it would be extremely difficult. This is exactly what happened today.
Seven brothers died here. I brought them here, but I couldn't bring them back safely. I feel very regretful."
Chao Chao said: "Master, how can we do such a big thing without harm? We are not gods, and our manpower will eventually be exhausted."
Su Jin smiled and said: "It's best if you think so, but I originally thought I could get out of trouble safely, but I still made a mistake. Yan Sansi was right, strength is the guarantee of success. I once again took a chance on luck.
Heart, but this time God may not favor me again. If I were not seriously injured, I would be confident that I could escape from the city with you, but now it is impossible; so I decided not to drag you down anymore.
, the four of you are highly skilled in martial arts, and if you are not dragged down, you will have a great chance of escaping from the city. I order you to prepare to break out immediately and bring the good news of the state's grain and grass being burned back to Weizhou."
"Master, how can you say that?"...
"I won't leave you alone until my brother dies, so are we still human?"
"Yes, if we want to die together, we don't want to be born in the same year, but we want to die in the same year."
Dynasty Mahan and others kept saying that they were determined not to leave Su Jin and escape for their lives no matter what.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Silly, what's the benefit of dying together? You only have one life, and when you die, there is nothing. That's why it is so precious, and we must cherish it; we must live together if we can survive."
If you die, won't you live up to the life given by God?"
Wang Chao said with tears in his eyes: "Young Master, by saying this, do you doubt our loyalty to you?"
Su Jin raised his hand with difficulty and patted Wang Chao on the shoulder and said: "Several brothers are destined to me, Su Jin. We have lived and died together for many times. The love between us has long been deeper than that between brothers. Although we are master and servant, we are still in the same relationship."
I have never regarded you as servants in my heart. I thought in my heart that if I, Su Jin, could achieve greater things, the four of you would also follow me and get promoted to nobles and honor our ancestors. It’s just that fate has played a trick on people, so I had to make this move.
."
Chao Chao opened his mouth to speak, but Su Jin waved his hand to stop him and continued: "Listen, after you break out of the encirclement, help me send a message to Young Madam Rou Niang Huan Niang and others... and... Miss Xia, tell me, Su Jin, am I right?"
I have let them down by living with them, and I will try to repay them in the next life. If you are willing to stay in the Su family, you can stay. If not, the young lady will definitely give you a generous gift. If you have time in the future, I will take care of you.
My mother and the baby who is about to be born can do it. What I say comes from the sincerity and is definitely not a lie. Who doesn’t want to live? How could I say such a thing until this time? Don’t say too much. If you still treat me like
It’s your master’s words, so do as I say. If it’s too late, it will be too late.”
Seeing Su Jin's firm words, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han and others seemed to be hard to persuade, but how could they leave? Wang Dynasty's thick eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to greet Wang Dynasty, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, walked aside and whispered: "Are you guys here?"
Brother, the young master is determined to drive us away, what do you think we should do?"
Ma Han said: "I won't leave. We will just die together. I have never thought about betraying the young master. Anyway, what should be done has been done. I can do whatever I like."
Zhao Hu also said: "I won't leave either. This time I will disobey the master's wishes."
Wang Chao said: "Since everyone thinks so, I have an idea, but it may cost me my life, but it may also save my life."
Mahan said: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
Wang Chao said: "Now the officers and soldiers are searching intensively. We will all be discovered as soon as daybreak. No one can escape by then. I just remembered that there are two princesses from the Xixia royal family in the inn where we are staying. They are at hand.
, The young master will definitely be able to escape safely, but it is difficult to get back to the inn now; so I think..."
Ma Han said: "Boss Wang, I'm so worried, please tell me quickly."
Wang Chao gritted his teeth and said: "I am afraid that the four of us will have to sacrifice three of our lives to cover the young master back to the inn. I want two of you to go out and face the enemy directly with Xia Jun and lure them away from here. The remaining one
I must be responsible for protecting the young master when he returns to the inn. Which of you will follow me? I tell you, if you go here, you will have a narrow escape from death. It is very likely that you will die here. You need to think carefully."
Ma Han raised his hands and said: "Then it is my duty to do so."
Zhao Hu said: "I'm going too, I'm not afraid of death."
Zhang Long said in astonishment: "You mean you want me, a one-armed man, to escort the young master back to the inn? To be honest, I can fight against the bandits, but the responsibility of escorting the young master is too big for me."
Everyone thought about it. Zhang Long himself was injured and had only one arm to use. How could he carry Su Jin on his back and escape for his life? Chao Chao thought for a while, looked at Mahan and said: "Brother Mahan, it is better for you to stay and escort the young master, we
The three of them go out to lure the enemy."
Ma Han shook his head like a rattle and said: "No, no, I don't have as many ideas as you, and I don't think as thoroughly as you. Brother Zhang Long is right. The responsibility of escorting the young master is heavy. I think it is most appropriate for you to stay."
Zhao Hu and Zhang Long both nodded and said, "Yes, it would be best for Boss Wang to stay."
Wang Chao shook his head and refused, and several people couldn't stop arguing. Then they heard the shouts of killing coming from outside gradually approaching, and they could already clearly hear the Xia army's shouts of orders under the tower.
Ma Han shouted: "Boss Wang, if you are here, we will all be made dumplings. That's it. If the young master is caught by the Western thieves, you will be a sinner."
Wang Chao had no choice but to step forward and give a few people a bear hug, saying: "You must remember, don't risk your life unless you have to, just distract the enemy troops. If you and I are lucky enough to escape, you can stay near the restaurant outside the south gate."
Leave a stone mark in the woods, and we will gather according to the mark when the time comes."
Ma Han said: "Brothers, don't worry, you have to protect the young master and return to the inn safely. The young master's safety will be left to you."
Wang Chao nodded silently and watched the three people get off the pagoda and disappear into the darkness.
Chao Chao came to Su Jin. Su Jin didn't know what the four of them were muttering about, so he whispered: "You guys should go quickly, don't delay any longer."
Chao Chao said: "We have made a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Ma Han will take Zhao Hu and Zhang Long to lure the enemy, and his subordinates will be responsible for escorting the young master to Hui Inn."
Su Jin was shocked: "What? Aren't you asking the three of them to die? You are too bold, you are extremely bastards."
Wang Chao bowed his hands and saluted, "Young Master, I'm offended."
After saying that, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand and cut Su Jin's neck gently, and Su Jin passed out. Wang Dynasty quickly carried Su Jin on his back, tied Su Jin tightly with his clothes torn into strips, and probed his head.
Listen to the movement under the tower.
But suddenly there was a loud shouting of killing under the tower, and the sound of swords clashing was like the clanging of iron. Someone shouted: "The fine work is here, surround them." At the same time, the flame signal shot straight into the sky.
The soldiers and horses searching everywhere received the signal and quickly rushed to the place of fighting. Ma Han and other three people killed more than a dozen people in a row and held up torches to seize the road and fled eastward. The Xia army's men and horses chased closely, and a series of torches were fired.
Going all the way east, we are getting further and further away from the pagoda.
Wang Chao quickly left the pagoda and carried Su Jin all the way south, passing through the dilapidated temple hall and front yard, and disappeared without a trace in the dim eyes of the old temple monk who heard the sound.
…
Dynasty ran all the way and almost ran into several groups of Xixia patrols who went to Beicheng to assist in the search. Fortunately, Dynasty was clever and walked through the alley to the roof. He tried his best and finally returned to the inn; he was about to put Su Jin in the inn room.
By the time he got on the bed, Wang Chao was already soaked in sweat and almost exhausted.
The two brothers who stayed behind to watch quickly brought tea to Wang Chao to help him regain his strength. Wang Chao took a moment to catch his breath and then asked, "Are those two women still honest?"
A brother said: "There was a commotion in the city. They asked several times to see the young master, but we just lied and said that the young master fell asleep and did not let them go out."
Wang Chao nodded and said: "Very good. If you invite them here, please tell them that the young master has invited them and has something to say to them."
After a while, Yeli Duanyun and Li Ahli came to Su Jin's room neatly dressed. Su Jin and Wang Chao's faces were covered with blood and charcoal ash. The two women were shocked and even more surprised.
Seeing Su Jin's unconscious state, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth and screamed.
Wang Chao said: "You two ladies, don't be afraid. Please sit down."
Yeli Duanyun glared and said, "What's wrong with him? What happened outside?"
Chao Chao said: "Young master is fine, he just lost too much blood and fell into a coma. Your military grain depot in Huizhou caught fire and was burned down, so the whole city was shaken."
Yeli Duanyun suddenly covered his mouth and pointed at Wang Chao: "You...you...you did it?"
Chao Chao said: "I don't have time to explain the details to you two now. My young master continues to receive treatment. I would like to ask you two girls to help my young master seek medical treatment. I'll keep it in mind. If my young master gives birth, you two will give birth. If it is my young master,
If he dies, you two will have to be buried with him."
Yeli Duanyun said angrily: "Bah, how can I be buried with this Song pig? Besides, you are still careful. You are so audacious. You dare to sneak into our country and burn the army rations. I knew something was wrong with you."
Wang Chao stood up slowly, holding the handle of the knife in his hand and said: "It's not up to you to decide whether to be buried with him or not. If you continue to be nagging, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Ye Li Duan Yun was trembling with anger, but Li Ah Li said urgently: "Cousin, stop arguing. This young master seems to be seriously injured. He needs to be treated quickly. We have to find a way."
Yeli Duanyun sneered and said: "What can I do? We are their hostages now. We don't even have our own bodies, so how can we help them? Humph, there will be a manhunt in the city at dawn. I think they are dead.
Already."
Wang Chao said angrily: "If we die, you two will not survive."
Li Ahli said: "Cousin, stop talking, help him quickly, we will talk about the rest later."
Yeli Duanyun said: "You are a bad person, but they are thieves of the Song Dynasty. They burned the food and fodder of your father's army of 100,000 people, and you still want to save them."
Li Ahli said: "I can't control military affairs, but I can't just ignore him. Besides, saving him is also saving ourselves, otherwise we won't survive."
Yeli Duanyun sighed and said: "Cousin, you don't know my temper. If it weren't for your consideration, I would definitely not pay attention to these Song Zhus. Anyway, let me think of a solution."
Li Ahli said happily: "Thank you very much, cousin."
Yeli Duanyun rolled his eyes at Li Ahli and said, "It's strange that you came to thank me for this person. Are you stupid?"
Li Ahli blushed and said, "Stop talking nonsense and save people quickly."
Yeli Duanyun was speechless and turned around to walk out. Chao Chao stopped him and said, "Where are you going?"
Yeli Duanyun sneered and said: "Of course I will find a way to save your young master. If you are not worried, just stay here and watch him die."
Wang Chao thought for a moment and realized that Li Ahli was in his hands anyway, so there was no need to worry. The Yeli Duanyun was just a free gift, so he immediately retracted his arm and stopped blocking it.
Yeli Duanyun picked up the lantern on the corridor and went downstairs, his footsteps sounding softly and gradually becoming silent.
