Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin looked at each other, then put the letter away, mounted their horses, and drove off.
Along the way, Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin encountered no accidents and successfully arrived at Kangding City, which is closest to Luoding City.
Outside Kangding City, the two dismounted and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Rongxin stepped forward and shouted to the people on the city tower: "We are Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin, open the city gate quickly."
Kangding City was originally guarded by Zhao Rongxin, but after he received a letter from his eldest brother Zhao Rongxue, he secretly notified his second uncle Zhao Kejiu to guard it. Therefore, now, the guard of Kangding City is Zhao Kejiu.
The soldiers on the city tower were Zhao Rongxin's subordinates and were familiar with Zhao Rongxin's voice. Hearing the words, they immediately lit torches and looked around, finding two people standing vaguely in front of the city gate, but they couldn't see clearly.
"General Xin, is that you? I heard from General Jiu that you were captured by the enemy. Why did you come back?" The young general on the tower was relatively straightforward. He asked what was on his mind.
Zhao Rongxin was already holding back a lot of anger. When he heard this, the anger immediately rushed to his forehead, and his tone immediately turned cold: "What nonsense are you talking about?! If you keep talking nonsense, I will have your head moved!"
The young general shook his head and quickly asked for forgiveness while having someone lower the suspension bridge.
Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin scrambled to climb up the suspension bridge, and then were pulled up.
After landing, the two people quickly left under the surprised eyes of everyone on the tower.
The guard on the tower was stunned for a few seconds, then he immediately reacted and quickly ordered a few soldiers to escort the two of them.
Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin walked quickly and arrived outside Zhao Kejiu's room. Regardless of whether it was midnight, they raised their hands and knocked on the door.
Zhao Kejiu was originally flustered by the failed battle reports one after another. He tossed and turned all night. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the rude knock on the door, and he suddenly felt angry...
"Who is it?! Do you want to die?" Zhao Kejiu shouted coldly as he got up.
"Second uncle, it's me, Rong Xin (Rong Xue)." Zhao Rongxue and Zhao Rongxin said at the same time.
Zhao Kejiu's face was startled, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, he just put on a coat and rushed out.
"Rong Xin, Rong Xue, why are you back?! I heard from the spies that you were captured by Bai Ruoxi, and your father also surrendered. Also, Rong Xue, what happened to your neck?" Zhao Kejiu held the two of them in his hands.
hand, with a surprised look on his face.
Because the incident happened suddenly and because it was far away, the spies only knew that Zhao Kefeng surrendered, but did not hear the specific conversation with Yun Jingchu. Before they had time to inquire further, they reported Zhao Kejiu first, and Zhao Kejiu listened.
, I was so angry and anxious that I almost smashed my room.
That's why Zhao Kejiu was so surprised when he saw his two nephews now.
"Second uncle, it's a long story. My father surrendered for us. Let's go in first and discuss how to save our father." Zhao Rongxue said anxiously with a look of shame on his face.
"Okay, okay, come in quickly." Zhao Kejiu nodded and quickly pulled the two of them through the door.
After listening to the two nephews telling what happened, Zhao Ke was silent for a long time. This matter was too difficult to handle.
If he sends troops to rescue his brother, he will definitely end up with the same fate as his brother - that is, in order to save his brother, he and the people he brings must surrender.
If this vicious cycle continues, the Zhao family will undoubtedly lose.
