The world is really small. Xu Zizhen did not expect to meet an old friend in Taiyuan City. The man with the ax was none other than Xin Chou, the former Lanzhou guard who had fought side by side with him in the Xixia army.
Xu Zizhen stepped forward and gave him a firm hug. He was overjoyed and said, "Brother Xin, why are you here in Taiyuan?"
Xin Chou chuckled and lowered his voice: "Isn't that what you said?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned, and after thinking about it, he seemed to have said something like this. At that time, he asked Xin Chou to go north, and he would be able to win the battle, which would be more effective than staying in Lanzhou. However, he did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that he would actually come to Taiyuan.
.
Xu Zizhen patted Xin Chou on the shoulder and said happily: "Yesterday afternoon, I felt that the figure who was rushing out of the city looked familiar. I didn't expect it to be your brother. How about it? It's more fun in Taiyuan than in Lanzhou, right?"
Xin Chou smiled and said: "Of course, but since you are here, brother, there should be more fun next, right?"
Xu Zizhen knew what he meant, but didn't say much. He just smiled mysteriously. Xin Chou's eyes suddenly lit up. He was a pure military commander. He could release his greatest energy on the battlefield more than anything he could do.
Happy.
Behind Xin Chou was a group of people, including Bu Fen, Shui Liuli and a dozen horse thieves. They all knew each other when they were in Lanzhou. They probably met here and talked about old times in surprise.
The two of them had just chatted for a few words when Shui Liuli came over and asked with concern: "Does your head still hurt? Do you want me to make you a bowl of hangover soup?"
Bu Fen said with a smile: "How can this boy use any hangover soup? Open the city gate and throw him out to fight the golden dog, and his eyesight will be clear."
Everyone laughed, especially Xin Chou. His face had been tense before Xu Zizhen appeared. He was lying when he said he wasn't nervous. But when he saw Xu Zizhen, everything was forgotten. He and
Like Zhao Su and a few others, he always had an indescribable trust in Xu Zizhen, and it was absolute trust.
Yan Zhao walked quickly from the other side of the city with a sneer on his face: "Xiao Xu, why are you here? I saw you drank too much yesterday, and I didn't ask you to come with me in the morning. Don't blame me."
Xu Zizhen looked in the direction he came from and saw Gao Pujun frowning and thinking about something. Xiu'er stood quietly behind her. He suddenly understood. He smiled and then suddenly pretended to be serious: "Lao Yan, before going out,
Did Master Qi tell you to obey me in everything?"
Yan Zhao didn't understand what he meant, so he just nodded blankly: "That's right."
"Well, now I have a very difficult task for you, which is... to protect Miss Gao at all times, oh, and of course her sister Xiu'er, do you understand?"
"Oh...ah? What?"
Yan Zhao was speechless, as if he suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Xu Zizhen was amused in his heart, but he said with a serious expression: "Miss Gao is an extremely talented woman. She came to Taiyuan to help defend the city, but she is a rich woman after all, isn't she? If something happens, how can you tell me to follow her?
The old man Yong Ye told me? So her safety is left to you."
The surprise on Yan Zhao's face gradually turned into surprise. In fact, Gao Pujun's safety did not need to be concerned at all. What he cared about was Xu Zizhen's "by the way" protection of Xiu'er. Of course he could understand what Xu Zizhen meant. He was trying to trick himself.
An opportunity to get up close and personal with Xiu'er.
"But...but what should you do?" Yan Zhao was happy, but he still didn't forget his duty, even though he wanted to be with Xiu'er and almost went crazy.
A voice suddenly burst out from behind Xu Zizhen: "Brother Yan, do you suspect that my skills are not as good as yours?"
As the words fell, Xiao Nongyu came out from nowhere, looking at Yan Zhao with a narrow and teasing evil smile in his eyes.
Yan Zhao shook his head repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I can't beat you, my sister-in-law, I'll go right now, I'll go right now..." After saying that, he ran to Gao Pujun's side without even looking back.
Xu Zizhen's face was full of confusion: "What did you do to Lao Yan? Look how scared he was."
Xiao Nongyu waved his hand casually: "Oh, when you didn't come back, he kept clamoring to leave the city to find you. I thought he was too annoying, so I beat him up."
"Uh..." Xu Zizhen didn't know what to say. He knew Yan Zhao's skills very well, but from Xiao Nongyu's point of view, it seemed that she didn't waste much effort in dealing with Yan Zhao. So how terrifying must this girl's skills be?
Xiao Nongyu stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Don't be so curious about me. Look, the golden man is calling for formation."
Xu Zizhen was startled and turned back to look outside the city. Sure enough, a group of Jin soldiers rode forward and stopped not far from the city gate. The leader of the Jin soldiers held a big sword and shouted loudly: "The Song people
, do you dare to go out of the city to fight with a certain person?"
There was finally movement in the city that had been quiet all morning, but none of the surrounding soldiers showed excitement. Instead, they fell silent. Xu Zizhen was a little strange. He looked at Zhang Xiaochun, but saw Master Zhang's face solemn and tense.
He frowned and said nothing, neither said he would accept the challenge nor said he would defend.
Xu Zizhen visually measured the distance between the Jin army and the city gate. In his opinion, even if Zhang Xiaochun sent troops out of the city to fight, if the Jin general was killed and the enemy army pressed forward, there would be enough time to retreat back to the city. Zhang Xiaochun had no need to be so conservative.
of.
He hesitated for a moment and then asked what he was thinking: "Brother, do you have any ideas? Are you planning to send someone to fight or what should I say?"
Zhang Xiaochun gave a wry smile and said in a low voice: "Brother, you have just come to Taiyuan, but you don't know something. Although there are more than ten thousand soldiers in the city, the number of generals who can lead the troops to fight is less than two hands. However, Wanyan Zonghan has no less than a hundred generals. Today,
If I accept the challenge, even if I kill the incoming general, countless battles will follow, and I will fall into a battle of wheels, which will be very detrimental to our side!"
Xu Zizhen was stunned, he couldn't count in both hands? There were less than ten generals in Taiyuan City who could be considered as generals? How the hell could he fight this?
In just a short moment, the golden general outside the city cursed even more vigorously, even causing the thousands of golden soldiers behind him to curse at the top of their lungs.
"You are a cowardless bandit. If you have only this little courage, you might as well give up the city to Grandpa!"
"Song people are really as timid as mice. They don't even dare to challenge the grandfathers when they see them coming. I'm afraid they'll wet their pants, right?"
"Hahaha! Thousands of people urinated on the city wall. Such a spectacular scene can only be seen in Taiyuan, right?"
Xu Zizhen suddenly became furious, turned around, jumped up to the top of the city, pointed at the city and shouted: "What the hell! Wash your fucking butts and wait for death. Don't run away if you see me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down and shouted loudly: "Get ready for the Shenji Camp. Follow me and fight out of the city. I need to sober up!"
