Xu Zizhen acted for several days in a row, only drinking and not eating much every day. Today he was locked up for a whole day, and his hands and feet were trembling with hunger. No matter what kind of food he was, the forbidden soldier did not untie the chains in the end.
, but picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth, ready to feed him.
"Take good care of me." Xu Zizhen was still carefree. Just as the forbidden soldiers stared, a series of screams suddenly came from outside the door. The two forbidden soldiers were shocked and wanted to rush out to see what was going on. But at this moment, the one on the roof
The small skylight burst violently, and the broken tiles and rafters mixed with dust fell down.
There was another figure among the debris and tiles all over the sky. The eyes of the two Forbidden Soldiers were so blurred by the dust that before they could even open them, a long sword appeared in the hands of the figure. A startling rainbow flashed, and the necks of the two Forbidden Soldiers were already covered.
He was cut open and killed on the spot.
What appeared in front of Xu Zizhen was an old man with a thin face, deep and sharp eyes, wearing an ordinary gray cloth robe, and a long sword in his hand that didn't look like a vulgar object. It seemed like a green wave was flowing when he didn't move it.
Xu Zizhen looked at the old man from top to bottom, and then fixed his gaze on his face.
"Young master, don't be afraid, I..." The old man put his sword into the sheath with a wave of his hand, and his movements were smooth and graceful. He was about to say a few words to comfort Xu Zizhen, but found that Xu Zizhen didn't look scared at all. Instead, he stared, looking very unhappy.
He couldn't help but be startled.
Xu Zizhen suddenly yelled: "If you don't come early or late, you still have to come up from the roof. Look at this meat, can you still eat it?"
The food in the three large bowls was already covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were also some debris and wood chips. There was no fat left to eat, so Xu Zizhen's mood was naturally not much better.
The old man was immediately furious. He became famous at a young age and has been famous for decades. How could anyone dare to talk to him like this? He raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "If I hadn't come to save you, you would have died between these two people."
Aren't you afraid when the knife falls?"
Xu Zizhen moved the iron chains on his hands and feet, and said disdainfully: "How can I die so easily? No one can change what God has decided... Stop talking nonsense, help me get rid of this thing first, I will go out by myself
For dinner, by the way, does your world have a separate altar in Xingqing? I’ve never heard of it.”
Tianxiahui? The old man was obviously taken aback, a sneer flashed across his lips, and then he drew his sword again. With a cry, the iron chain was cut, and he said calmly: "I am not a member of the Tianxiahui."
Xu Zizhen just stood up and was stunned when he heard these words: "No? Then you are..."
The old man waved his hand and said no more. Two more men jumped in from the door and urged: "Go quickly, otherwise things will change if you wait too long."
Only then did Xu Zizhen come to his senses. He was still among the officers and soldiers, and he actually had time to chat with the old man.
The two men went back to explore the way. The old man accompanied Xu Zizhen and the other three people and carefully walked out. In the yard outside the door, there were several forbidden soldiers lying in disorder. The air was filled with the smell of blood. Xu Zizhen couldn't bear it and silently
He read: "Brothers, I have wronged you, I will avenge you sooner or later."
When Xu Zizhen came, he was sent in with a cloth cover over his head by the imperial guards. He had no idea where this place was. When he got out of the door, he was shocked to find that this place was already outside Xingqing City. The surrounding area was dark and empty, and he was far away.
A series of tall mountains are clearly visible in the moonlight.
Helan Mountain? Xu Zizhen understood where he was now at a glance. He had already left Xingqing City and had traveled dozens of miles.
The old man led Xu Zizhen down the night in a familiar way. Not long after he came to an intersection, he suddenly stopped and said to Xu Zizhen: "Mr. Xu, you are safe now. I will take my leave now!"
"Hey wait!" Xu Zizhen grabbed him, "Who on earth sent you to save me?"
The old man smiled faintly and disappeared into the night without saying anything.
The surroundings became silent again. Xu Zizhen looked at the direction where the old man left, and then started to walk away after thinking for a moment. Daye came over and asked in a low voice: "Master, why is it different from what you expected? Has anyone seen through it?"
?”
Now they are on a spacious mountain road. They can see if there is anyone around them at a glance, and they are not afraid of being eavesdropped. Xu Zizhen shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy to see through? I am spending a lot of money this time. They
There is no follow-up action because the old fox is not yet at ease and just wants to observe it for a while. Just wait, there are probably some tests waiting for us."
Daye scratched his head and looked confused, obviously not understanding. Zhuo Ya was still a few steps away from Xu Zizhen. Most of Xu Zizhen's low voice did not escape her ears, but her expression remained unchanged. She pretended not to hear, but her eyes were slightly
There was a change, but Xu Zizhen didn't notice.
"Let's go, find a place to eat and sleep first, I can't stand it anymore!"
It is not difficult to catch some game in the majestic Helan Mountains. It didn't take long for Daye to come out and come back with a few hares and a deer. They washed and skinned them and found a sheltered mountain col to make a fire and roast them. After a hearty meal, Xu Zizhen rested
Sitting under a big tree, I was stunned.
When the old man rescued him, he deliberately said the word "Tianxiahui". He wanted to lure the old man to admit it and give him a chance to lie to him, but he didn't accept the trick and didn't tell him where he was. It's not hard to see.
The other party must have some back-ups. As for who the old man is from, there is no one else except Sanjuetang and the Xiao family.
Xu Zizhen thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why the old man left after pretending for a long time. What could be behind this? His head hurt even though he didn't think about it. He simply stopped thinking about it and just got together by the campfire.
After putting down his clothes to sleep, he started snoring soon after.
Zhuo Ya was lying not far away, secretly watching Xu Zizhen sleeping soundly. She didn't know how she felt. Although Xu Zizhen kidnapped Duoqi Dolma outside Jincheng Pass and then kidnapped himself instead, he did not embarrass himself along the way. On the contrary, he
Whatever delicious food is available, I give it to myself first, and I don’t do anything inappropriate to myself.
What on earth is this lewd thief doing? Zhuo Ya is puzzled and can only vaguely guess that his defection must have been premeditated, and his intentions must be considerable.
It was daylight when he woke up. Xu Zizhen didn't understand what the Xiao family's next move was, but he had already decided on his next step, which was to go down the mountain first, follow the ancient Great Wall all the way to the direction of Tubo, and "defect" by himself
"After conquering the Song Dynasty, Xixia could not tolerate itself anymore, so it had no choice but to go to Tubo.
…
In the back hall of the Xiao Mansion, Grand Master Xiao held a book in his hand and was flipping through it slowly, and said lightly: "Did he say something?"
Standing in front of him was an old man with sharp eyes and unsmiling eyes. He was the man who rescued Xu Zizhen. He replied respectfully: "He originally thought that the villain was the most popular person in the world, but the villain didn't recognize it.
"
"Well, what else?"
"The villain asked him if he wasn't afraid? He replied: How can I die so easily? No one can change what God has decided."
Master Xiao suddenly raised his head: "Did he really say that?"
