Since there was no way to communicate, there was no need to stay. Xu Zizhen wiped his neck with a knife and strode into the door. At a glance, he saw three people huddled in the corner of the room. Their hands and feet were all tied, and their mouths were filled with numbness. Xu Zizhen's long
He breathed a sigh of relief and found that it was indeed true, these three were none other than Duoqi Dolma, National Master Songren and Ciyang.
There were faint footsteps and shouts outside the house. Xu Zizhen knew that the guard's pre-death warning had alerted others. He did not dare to delay any longer and hurried over to break open Ciyang's bonds. Ciyang had good skills, so he could at least
Help him block the armored army for a while before they rush into the village.
But he soon discovered something was wrong. Although Ciyang was awake, his expression was very tired, his body was stained with blood, and he was obviously seriously injured.
"Damn it!" Xu Zizhen cursed and quickly untied the ropes around Songren's hands and feet. Fortunately, Songren stood up immediately and didn't look like he was injured.
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the house: "Who is it?"
"Your ancestor!" Xu Zizhen untied Duoqi Zhuoma's rope and replied outside the house.
Duoqi Dolma took off her restraints and quickly dug out the numbness in her mouth and said urgently: "Uncle, there are many of them, you are too hasty."
"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Xu Zizhen touched her head, then turned to Song Ren and said, "National Master, can you carry Ci Yang?"
As expected of a national master, Song Ren was extremely calm and nodded: "Okay, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to rush out right now."
Of course Xu Zizhen knew it was wrong, but there was no other way. He looked around and found that this house was relatively high-end, at least it had earthen walls, and at least arrows couldn't come in if people didn't go out. He thought for a while and made his decision.
"You just keep an eye here. I'll go out and delay with them for a while. Reinforcements will arrive soon. Don't worry."
Songren smiled slightly: "Since the consort is here, I naturally have nothing to worry about."
Xu Zizhen said no more and strode out of the house. As soon as he stepped out, he saw that he was surrounded by people. The yard was illuminated by torches as bright as day. Facing the door was a thin and sinister man.
, it was none other than Nuqi, the pseudo-Tibetan envoy whom I had just met a few days ago.
Nu Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and three words burst out from between his teeth: "Xu Zizhen!"
Xu Zizhen casually picked up the knife in his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this General Nuqi? As the saying goes, one day is like three autumns. Counting it, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Why, there is such a big formation today?
Do you still want to compete with me? But do you still have gold?"
Nu Qi said coldly: "Of course there is gold, but today I only bet on one thing, and that is your life!"
…
Gao Pujun sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, staring at the occasionally dancing candles on the table. Xu Zizhen visited the church with three people at the same time today, which meant that he probably would not come to her room tonight, although she and Xu Zizhen had been together for a long time.
Although they were married, she still looked forward to having a very traditional and serious wedding ceremony.
Thinking of this, she suddenly blushed. Xu Zizhen had always been a vulgar and scoundrel. He never passed by her in bed. Just a few days ago, he sneaked into her home...
At this moment, someone outside the house suddenly called out: "Miss!"
Gao Pujun suddenly woke up. She recognized that it was Xiu'er's voice. Today was a good day for her. Xiu'er would not disturb her unless there was nothing serious.
She quickly stood up and opened the door. Xiu'er ducked into the room, her face full of anxiety: "Miss, Xu Zizhen has gone out of the city."
Gao Pujun subconsciously noticed something was wrong: "What's the emergency? Do you know?"
Xiu'er said: "I also accidentally met him talking to someone in the backyard. I couldn't hear him very carefully from a distance. He said he was going to save some Tibetan envoy. There were forty or fifty people over there, and he only brought Li Menggao with him.
Favored, and asked King Kang to mobilize the Iron Armored Hundreds."
Gao Pujun's brows furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he walked outside the room, raised his head and shouted: "Come down and talk."
The black shadow flashed, and Xu Shiqi appeared in front of him: "Mother Gao."
Gao Pujun asked straight to the point: "Where did Xu Zizhen go and what did he do? Tell me carefully."
Xu Shiqi was originally from the Gao family, so he naturally didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly made it clear.
The more Gao Pujun listened, the worse his face became. When Xu Shiqi finished speaking, she was so angry that she pointed at him and cursed: "This is obviously a trap. If he wants to die, why don't you stop him? Fortunately, Xu Zizhen always praises you for being smart."
Xu Shiqi was shocked. He knew this best. In the past few days, from arresting people to extracting confessions, he didn't see any problems. Why did Gao Pujun hear that something happened after only hearing it once?
"Follow me." Gao Pujun held the skirt of his wedding dress in both hands and ran outside quickly without caring about his manners. Xiu'er and Xu Shiqi quickly followed.
Not long after arriving at the small courtyard behind the hall, Gao Pujun asked Xiu'er to invite Zhao Gou, and asked Xu Shiqi to call over those who could fight, such as Daye, Su San, Lin Chaoying and Hu Sanniang without disturbing others.
Zhao Gou rushed out quickly. As soon as Gao Pujun saw him, he said: "Your Highness, Xu Zizhen is in trouble. Send people to rescue him quickly."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gou turned pale with fright and quickly asked, "What do Yi Zhi mean by these words?"
Just as he was asking, Daye and others also rushed out. Gao Pujun said urgently: "How can a mere Tubo rebel party enter the government and the public to congratulate them, and how can they cause chaos in the Song Dynasty without being discovered. It is obvious that there are people in the government who are secretly communicating with each other to support them. If not,
The accident must be that the enemy of His Highness and Xu Zizhen must be eliminated quickly. Furthermore, the Tubo, Uighur, Goryeo, and Jin people all lost their manpower in the academy, but there has been no movement for several days. It must not be that they gave up saving people, but that they
Wait for the opportunity."
Zhao Gou was also a smart man, and he suddenly realized when he said this: "Are you saying that the Tubo rebellious party, the traitors in the DPRK, and the Golden Dog jointly planned to deliberately lure Zi Zhen to rescue people?"
Gao Pujun's face turned pale and he clenched his teeth. He nodded and said, "He heard that there were forty or fifty people. I think the envoys from those countries must be in one place. I'm afraid they have already set up an ambush and are waiting for him. This fool is not that big."
Just think about it and go so rashly to die."
Now everyone understood. Su San and Daye jumped up first and were about to rush out immediately. Hu Sanniang shouted: "Why panic when you don't know the enemy's situation? I'll give you a cup of tea and get ready quickly."
Hu Sanniang was once the only female general leader in Liangshan, and she had her own way of leading troops. Daye Su San had always admired her, so he immediately calmed down and went back to prepare his horses and weapons. Zhao Gou asked Xu Shiqi about the location of Huangshi Village.
, quickly left to go to the government army to mobilize people. Not long after everyone came back, Gao Pujun whispered something to Hu Sanniang. Hu Sanniang nodded, and led everyone to ride horses and quickly go out of the city.
Gao Pujun looked at the backs of everyone leaving, biting her lips so hard that there was almost blood. Her heart was already in chaos, but she knew she couldn't. The wind started to pick up, and she took a deep breath. The coolness of the night finally let her
Slowly calming down, she looked up at the vague outline of the moon, turned around and walked towards Wen Xian's room.
