When it comes to horse thieves, many people's first reaction is that they kill people and come and go like the wind. No one believes that they can fly over walls and come and go silently, but the hundreds of horse thieves in Xu Zizhen's Shenji Camp can do it.
Ever since Xu Zizhen established the Shenji Camp and Bu Fen's horse thieves brothers joined them, they were tortured by Xu Zizhen in an unprecedented way. In addition to sleeping and eating every day, he trained continuously with high intensity, and each leg was always tied with various
Twenty kilograms of lead weight, and other tasks such as speeding in the swamp, climbing on cliffs, etc.
The consequence of this was that when they removed the lead weights from their legs, the wall that was more than ten feet high was almost useless in front of them.
In the past, Xu Zizhen had doubted whether this kind of training was effective. After all, he had seen this trick from TV, but later he finally believed it when he saw the effect. In his words, the original horse thieves were like a group of fierce wild beasts.
Dogs, but now they have been upgraded. They are like a group of wild dogs with grasshopper legs. They can attack when advancing and run away when retreating.
Late at night, Zonghan's mansion looked like an undefended little sheep in front of these wild dogs. The screams started one after another. A hundred horse thieves rushed in from the wall. It didn't take long to kill the little princess.
The residence of Jiao and Xu Zizhen.
There is a team of golden soldiers on duty all day long, but their numbers are not enough, and their skills are not the match of the horse thieves. They were defeated in just one encounter and fled. The door of Gillian's house was kicked open, and Xu Zizhen and Aunt Lan were beaten.
They used a steel knife on the neck to force it out. The little princess Gillian seemed to have been grabbed in a dream. She didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She was just wrapped in a quilt and carried out.
Bu Fen stood in the courtyard, with several captured Jin soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him. He said coldly: "Leave your life to send a message to me, and I will lend you your little princess's head in exchange for some silver.
If he wants to save people, be prepared to get one million taels of silver, do you understand?"
Before the few Jin soldiers could answer, Bu Fen and the horse thieves had disappeared like a gust of wind. Also missing were the little princess Gillian and her nanny Lan Aunt, as well as the nephew who was said to be Aunt Lan.
He is still a patient or something. As for the young prince Wan Yanang, it is said that he has been out on official business these days and escaped by luck.
The Jin soldiers stood up from the ground tremblingly, looked at each other and said: "Quickly report to Commander Zuo."
…
An hour later, Bu Fenshui Liuli and Xu Zizhen were already walking on the road from Datong to Taiyuan. There were not many people accompanying them, only more than thirty people, and there was also a large car. In the carriage were Aunt Lan and those who were already dressed.
Gillian.
It is easy to be exposed in large numbers, so Tang Lunhe led the rest of the Shenji Camp in twos and twos and dispersed through many small roads. Now Xu Zizhen and the others have one horse, and they are all golden war horses stolen from Datong Mansion.
, can be regarded as a small gain.
The sky was getting brighter, and Xu Zizhen was talking to Shui Liuli when Aunt Lan's voice suddenly came from the big car next to her: "Zizhen, can you come here?"
"Here we come, mother." Xu Zizhen responded, drew his horse close to the cart, jumped over, and got into the carriage.
Aunt Lan had a faint smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood. Gillian's expression was a bit complicated, looking both happy and sad. After Xu Zizhen entered, he sat opposite her, glanced at her and asked Aunt Lan: "Mother,
What's wrong?"
"Zizhen, are you planning to go to Taiyuan?" Aunt Lan asked.
Xu Zizhen said: "Yes, there are still people waiting for me to help." He paused and said, "Mom, don't you want to go to Taiyuan? If so, that's fine. You tell me where you want to go, and I'll have someone take you there.
Just go."
Aunt Lan shook her head: "Mom hasn't been back in these years, there is no one at home, and I don't know where to go. It would be okay to follow you to Taiyuan. Maybe I can help you, but Gillian..." said
At this point, she touched Gillian's head, her eyes full of love.
Xu Zizhen understood what she meant, but he was immediately embarrassed. Gillian had successfully escaped from marriage, but she was still a princess of the Kingdom of Jin after all. Should he take her to Taiyuan and let her watch him lead people to kill her people?
If something goes wrong, it will force her into a mental illness.
Just when he was about to speak, Gillian looked up at him and asked: "Xu Zizhen, you...are you going to fight Nian Meihe?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Of course, why should I go to Taiyuan?"
Gillian bit her lip and said, "But Nian Buhe has 100,000 troops. Can you really beat him?"
Xu Zizhen said: "You don't have to fight more than anyone else... Can we be more straightforward? Do you really plan to escape to the countryside and become a village girl from now on, or are you scared now and want to go back to Beijing to beg your emperor for mercy?
you?"
Gillian lowered her head again, just biting her lips tightly. Xu Zizhen did not urge her. After all, she was a young girl in the rebellious period of her youth. It was normal for her to be a little lackadaisical.
After a long time, Gillian finally raised her head again, but now her eyes were extremely firm and she said seriously: "Xu Zizhen, I want to ask you a question, and you must tell me honestly."
Xu Zizhen began to feel a little helpless and nodded: "Then you ask, I can tell you everything except my body measurements which are a secret."
Gillian was not diverted by his joke, and still said seriously: "I want to know, how sure are you that you can beat sticky or not?"
Xu Zizhen laughed and said: "Repulse? You really think highly of me, but since you asked so seriously, I will also answer you seriously. It's hard to say whether he will be defeated, but I can guarantee that he will not come into the city this year."
Gillian's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Xu Zizhen nodded solemnly: "Really!"
Gillian slapped her leg: "Then I decided not to leave and will play with you from now on."
Xu Zizhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is a war, and people are going to die. Do you think it's just for fun? I think you should go back to Beijing instead of joining in the fun here."
Gillian pouted and said: "I won't go back. You have accepted the wet nurse as your godmother. Do you still want her to go back and fall into the wolf's den? So if the wet nurse stays with you, then I will naturally not go back."
Gone."
Xu Zizhen looked at her serious look and didn't know what to say for a moment. He originally planned to rescue Gillian and follow her wherever she went, but he didn't expect that now he was being relied upon and was about to follow Wanyan Zonghan.
The left army is facing each other. What's going on with such a sluggish guy?
But now it was impossible to drive her away in this situation. Xu Zizhen had no choice but to say: "Okay, but let's make an agreement first. If you see me killing you golden people later, don't fall out with me, because this is unavoidable."
Gillian said nonchalantly: "I don't care. If you lose, I will be captured again, and then I will have to marry that loser. Then I really might as well just die." Before Xu Zizhen could reply, she suddenly pulled.
She grabbed his sleeve and said coquettishly, "You are my godbrother now. You can't ignore me. Can you take me to Jiangnan for fun after you beat Nianweihe back? I will definitely not be angry with you anymore!"
