The weather today is not good, it is gloomy, and the north wind is blowing hard, blowing on the face like a knife. Looking at this scene, it may snow at any time.
The snow in the northwest will either not fall, or it will snow heavily or even blizzard. It is a good time for a sneak attack. However, Xu Zizhen has no intention of taking action today. If he wants to play, he should have fun. Attacking from both inside and outside can give the Xia army the biggest blow.
Kou Qiaoyi had already packed his luggage for him, his eyes were slightly red, and he bit his lip and looked at him. Xu Zizhen smiled, hugged Kou Qiaoyi, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said softly
He said: "Take good care of yourself and wait until I come back." After saying that, he strode out of the door and never looked back.
Xu Zizhen didn't dare to say anything to Kou Qiaoyi, so he quickly walked out of the government office gate, looked around to see if there was no one, and then turned into a small alley.
The alleys of Lanzhou City extend in all directions. Xu Zizhen went around more than a dozen turns before arriving at the door of a small house. After observing it for a while, he lightly clicked the door.
"Who?" came a vigilant voice from inside.
Xu Zizhen whispered: "Me!"
The door then opened with a creak, revealing an alert face. It was one of Du Jin's men. When he saw that it was Xu Zizhen, he felt relieved and welcomed him in.
Xu Zizhen was a little funny. It looked like a spy meeting. He smiled and walked in. He saw that Du Jin had walked into the courtyard and smiled at him.
"Sorry, I've left you guys alone for so many days. It's a shame." Xu Zizhen quickly apologized. He had really forgotten about these guys these days and didn't even take the time to see them.
Du Jin smiled and said, "I think it's quite good. It's very quiet here and no one disturbs me." After saying this, he looked at Xu Zizhen and said, "A few days ago, it was spread all over Lanzhou City that Mr. Xu personally led five hundred magic machines.
The battalion repelled the Xixia army of 100,000 people and killed the Xia army's vanguard while being surrounded by enemies. It was really brave! No wonder the princess and Lan'er are full of praise for you."
Xu Zizhen was thick-skinned. He didn't feel embarrassed at all when he praised him like this. Instead, he was a little curious: "Xiao Lanlan praised me too? What did you praise me for?"
He was really curious. It was normal for Li Luoyan to say that he was nice, but Yun Shanglan had never seen him a few times and liked to compliment him from time to time. How could this little devil actually praise him?
Du Jin gave him a meaningful look: "Lan'er said that you are the most courageous and responsible man she has ever seen."
Xu Zizhen asked expectantly: "What else?"
"No more."
"No more? That's it?" Xu Zizhen was a little disappointed, but it was better to stop it in front of his uncle, "Ahem... I mean Miss Yun is so complimentary, I am so ashamed of myself, Old Xu."
Du Jin smiled and took him into the house. He sat down and looked at Xu Zizhen a few times: "I also heard that Mr. Xu suffered hundreds of arrows that day. I see that you are acting as usual today. Is it just a rumor?"
Xu Zizhen waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "It must be a rumor. I have been hit by hundreds of arrows and I am still not a sieve? You can only look for me on the grave now."
Du Jin nodded and suddenly said: "Master Xu, it's fine if you have nothing to do. Could it be that you came to me today to look for Sanjuetang or Yuan Size?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned, this little old man is so smart! He was fine with being praised so much just now, but now he blushed a little, and said with a dry smile: "I'm not just doing this, the most important thing is to see how you guys are doing.
How about it, I'm thinking of finding an opportunity to send you to the Central Plains."
Du Jin shook his head and said: "It's not necessary in the Central Plains. If there is trouble in the Yun family, I still have to go back. If Mr. Xu has any use for me, Du, I might as well just tell him."
Seeing his frankness, Xu Zizhen stopped being wordy and simply said frankly: "I plan to sneak into Xingzi Fort today and look for an opportunity to catch Yu Size. I want to ask if you are familiar with that place. If you can, draw it for me.
A road map or something.”
Du Jin was startled: "You want to capture Yuan Size? Are you...are you crazy?"
Xu Zizhen said seriously: "As long as Yuan Size is captured, Queen Xiao will lose a major pillar of support. When we return to the palace, the Xiao family will be wiped out."
Du Jin stared at him blankly, as if he had never seen him before. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Although Xingzi Castle is small, the streets in the city are quite complicated. It would be difficult for me to draw them carefully."
." Xu Zizhen's face tightened and before he spoke, Du Jin glanced at him and then said, "But Du can go with Mr. Xu. I will be familiar with him once he comes to the city. Besides... Mr. Xu can disguise himself as a worker.
Those who are skilled in art will not show any flaws if I walk with them."
Xu Zizhen was startled and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, Miss Yun entrusted you to me just for your safety. The last time you escaped from the valley, you became a traitor to Sanjuetang. It would be too much if they find out again."
It’s dangerous, I’d rather go into the city and explore on my own than let you go with me!”
Du Jin said leisurely: "If I take Mr. Xu into the city, I will be able to get closer to Yuan Size."
"This...!" Xu Zizhen was confused for a moment. Du Jin's words were correct. If it was true to what he said, it would undoubtedly be a good opportunity. As the commander-in-chief of the army, He Size would definitely have many personal guards. If he could
It will definitely be a lot easier if you hang around him.
In the end, Du Jin persuaded Xu Zizhen with a smile, and even a few of his men went with him. Although they were skilled in engineering, they were all very skilled. Xu Zizhen had also seen him last time when the artillery was on fire in the valley.
Xu Zizhen took a few people back to the government office and called Qian Tongzhi out. Qian Tongzhi couldn't hold himself back a few days ago and ran to his room every day, waiting for when to go to Xingzibao.
He had already packed up, and as soon as Xu Zizhen called him, he ran out cleanly.
Shui Liuli and Wen Xian were alarmed and followed them out of the door. They looked at Xu Zizhen in silence. Xu Zizhen suddenly took a few steps and hugged them both. The two of them were shocked and froze there.
.
Xu Zizhen leaned close to her ears and said softly: "I don't know when I can come back this time. If it succeeds, maybe I will go directly to Xixia. If it doesn't succeed..."
The two of them were startled. Shui Liuli didn't care about being shy and covered his mouth. Unexpectedly, Wen Xian's hand also covered his mouth at the same time. The two of them said in unison: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Zizhen reached out with both hands, held their hands each, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, I will come home completely." After saying that, he took a half step back, looked into their eyes, and said,
He smiled evilly and said, "In the past few days, you two can get close to each other as much as possible, so as not to cause jealousy and trouble for me in the future."
Shui Liuli was stunned as if struck by thunder, her pretty face flushed red, and she seemed at a loss. She didn't expect that Xu Zizhen would tell her story so suddenly, and in front of Wen Xian.
What surprised both her and Xu Zizhen was that Wen Xian actually held her hand and whispered to Xu Zizhen: "Sister Liuli and I will naturally get close, why do you need to say more? It's more serious that you come back as soon as possible.
"
Xu Zizhen was stunned and didn't know what to say. Wen Xian's eyes gradually softened, she stretched out her delicate hands to straighten his clothes, and said softly: "Zizhen, remember that sister Liuli and I are waiting for you here, don't forget it!"
A snowflake suddenly fell down, and then countless snowflakes fell across the sky and the earth. Xu Zizhen felt a surge of pride in his chest, and he laughed loudly and said: "It's just a little Feng Size, I regard it like a chicken or a dog.
You two just take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back and marry you! Hahaha..."
