Hu Zhuge's face was already a bit grim. It was obvious that he lost to Zhang Huaxuan in this battle of wits and became angry from embarrassment, and said, "Brother Zhang Huaxuan is indeed a good planner! However, even if Xia Xuan and the others can defeat the commander-in-chief of the Xia family's vassal army Department, but how will brother Zhang Huaxuan break through my second line of defense? Come on! Bring them all up."

Following Hu Zhuge's order, a few more soldiers walked in with a group of prisoners who were tied up. These prisoners were the sons of Xia Cheng who had been recruited into the commander-in-chief of the Xia family's vassal army before. His younger brothers Xia Wu and Xia Wen are also among them.Xia Wu has a strong temperament. Even though he was tightly bound, he was still struggling. When he saw Hu Zhuge, he immediately yelled: "You dog thief! Kill me if you have the guts. Otherwise, I will I will cut you to pieces."

Hu Zhuge turned a deaf ear to Xia Ting's insults at all, but looked at Zhang Huaxuan with a smirk, and said, "How is it? Brother Zhang Huaxuan. With these amulets, I believe those people outside dare not act rashly? Oh! By the way I almost forgot. Brother Zhang Huaxuan probably won't be able to see this scene. To be on the safe side, I decided to ask Brother Zhang Huaxuan to take a step ahead on Huangquan Road. I hope that Brother Zhang Huaxuan will not blame me!"

"Hahahaha!" Faced with these dozens of sharp weapons, Zhang Huaxuan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Zhuge, and said with a smile: "Marshal Sai Zhuge! There is one more thing, is it possible that Sai Don’t Marshal Zhuge want to know? Why do you guys dare to come here alone when you know this is a dragon’s lake and a tiger’s lair?”

"Huh?" Zhang Huaxuan's words hit Hu Zhuge's mind.And just as Hu Zhuge was in a daze, Zhang Huaxuan suddenly swung his hands forward, grabbed the low table in front of him, and just lifted it up.The soldiers around obviously didn't expect that Zhang Huaxuan would be the first to attack, and before they even had time to dodge, the low table directly hit the five or six soldiers in front, breaking into several pieces of wood.

And taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Huaxuan suddenly wiped his right hand on his abdomen, and a cold light flashed from Zhang Huaxuan's abdomen.As the cold light flashed and disappeared, a bloodstain immediately appeared on the face of a soldier closest to Zhang Huaxuan, and he fell to the ground with a shrill scream.Looking at Zhang Huaxuan's right hand, there was actually a long and narrow sharp sword, which was still shaking left and right, with a buzzing sound.

After being stunned for a moment, the soldiers surrounding Zhang Huaxuan immediately reacted, and at the same time raised their weapons and killed Zhang Huaxuan.However, Zhang Huaxuan just raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Before he could see his movements clearly, he had already leaped into the air. With a wave of the long sword in his hand, he immediately chopped off the heads of the two soldiers.And at the moment when he was about to hit the ground, he twisted his upper body and stabbed a soldier who was about to sneak attack him with a backhand sword.

I saw Zhang Huaxuan dancing with his sword in the air, coupled with his wide official uniform, he really had the aura of a sword fairy.The dozen or so soldiers were just ordinary soldiers in the garrison. They thought they would be easy to deal with a civil servant like Zhang Huaxuan.But he didn't expect Zhang Huaxuan to have such superb swordsmanship. In the blink of an eye, he was completely killed by Zhang Huaxuan.

Only the soldiers who were holding Xia Ting and the others were left. Zhang Huaxuan flicked the sharp sword to shake off the blood on the blade, turned his head, and a pair of eyes full of murderous intent moved to the soldiers. They shuddered.Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhang Huaxuan leaping forward, rushing in front of them like lightning, the sharp sword turned into blossoming sword flowers, killing the remaining soldiers in an instant, and Zhang Huaxuan I, however, was not injured at all. [

At this moment, Hu Zhuge was completely stunned. He watched Zhang Huaxuan leap to Xia Ting and the others, and after a few sword strikes, he cut the ropes binding Xia Ting and the others.

Zhang Huaxuan said to Xia Wen and the others: "My lords are shocked! The matter here is not over yet, please take your subordinates to look for the lord and the eldest lord later." Among the lords, only Xia Ziteng and Xia Ting were not there. Xia Ting is one of the masterminds of this matter, so naturally he will not be bound.And Xia Ziteng's identity is also very important, presumably he should be imprisoned with Xia Cheng.

Xia Wu moved his hands and feet, nodded and said: "What Master Zhang said is very true, the only way is to rescue Dad as soon as possible."

And Xia Wen, who was beside Xia Wu, also agreed, but when he turned around, he saw Hu Zhuge standing there blankly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and asked Zhang Huaxuan: "Master Zhang, what should I do with this bastard surnamed Hu?" ?”

"What are you asking? I cut it off with a knife." Xia Wu hated Hu Zhuge to death. If Hu Zhuge hadn't instigated him, Xia Wu would never have dared to do such a thing of killing his father and seizing the throne. In addition, he was arrested by Hu Zhuge just now. As a hostage, for Xia Wu, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, it is a great shame, so he can't wait to chop Hu Zhuge into meat sauce immediately.

"Wait a minute." Just as Xia Wu picked up a long knife and was about to drop it on Hu Zhuge's head, Zhang Huaxuan stopped Xia Wu and said to Xia Wu: "Third Young Master, this person cannot be killed for the time being. We First take him directly to save the lord and the eldest son. When you find the lord, let the lord decide how to deal with this person."

Zhang Huaxuan just saved the lives of their brothers, let alone mentioning Xia Cheng's name, Xia Wu naturally couldn't say anything more, he could only stare at Hu Zhuge bitterly, spit a mouthful of saliva, and angrily went to discuss the matter Walk outside the palace.

Hu Zhuge had regained his composure at this moment, but there was no surprised expression on his face anymore, but he returned to his previous indifference.Obviously he has understood that this time, he really lost.And it was a crushing defeat.Hu Zhuge raised his head, looked at Zhang Huaxuan, smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Zhang Huaxuan, I didn't expect you to be so resourceful, and even to learn such a good swordsmanship. I was really convinced this time."

"Hehe! It's a small skill." Zhang Huaxuan just smiled, not very complacent, and said: "The boy was young and frivolous, and went to learn those swordsmanship skills. It's just that he has been busy with government affairs these years, but he is a lot rusty. Marshal Sai Zhuge laughed."

Hu Zhuge didn't speak anymore, this time he was really wronged by the loss.No one thought that Zhang Huaxuan, who was usually gentle and refined, would be considered a master of swordsmanship.But this time Zhang Huaxuan obviously grasped his desire to kill him and entered the mansion alone, which gave him a chance to rescue Xia Ting and others.But on the other hand, Hu Zhuge's loss this time is nothing to say, after all, Zhang Huaxuan's resourcefulness this time has far surpassed his own.Although he had already guessed his ending in his heart, Hu Zhuge didn't make any gestures of being a child, but closed his eyes, quietly waiting for his ending.

In such a short time, the commander-in-chief of the Xia family's princes' army was already broken by the city defenders led by Xia Xuan and others.Although Xia Xuan is not the kind of general who is known for his bravery, how can someone who can be reused by Xia Cheng and appointed as the commander of the imperial army be mediocre?I saw Xia Xuan rushed to the front, beheading all the rebels who dared to resist, his whole body was covered with blood, he looked like a Shura.

As soon as Zhang Huaxuan, Xia Wu and the others came out of the palace, they saw Xia Xuan rushing over with such murderous aura. Xia Ting couldn't help being taken aback. He had never seen Xia Xuan like this before, and he almost couldn't recognize him. Exclaimed: "Brother Xuan, why did you become like this?"

Xia Xuan also knew that Xia Wu didn't join forces with Xia Ting and Hu Zhuge, so he smiled back when he saw Xia Wu, and he clasped his fists at Zhang Huaxuan and shouted: "Master Zhang, the rebels in the outer court have been cleared out, only the inner court is left." There are still a few rebels in the courtyard who are stubbornly resisting. I believe they will break through soon. And..." Xia Xuan stopped in the middle of speaking, because he had already seen Hu Zhuge behind Zhang Huaxuan and Xia Ting.Recalling that he was forced by Hu Zhuge to hand over his military power a few days ago, Xia Xuan hated Hu Zhuge so much that he gritted his teeth.

Zhang Huaxuan smiled and said to Xia Xuan: "It's the best, General Xuan, let's go with the third son to the inner courtyard to rescue the lord and the eldest son." As he said, Zhang Huaxuan moved his body in front of Hu Zhuge and blocked Xia Xuan. The meaning in Xuan's eyes is self-evident.

Xia Xuan is not a fool either, Zhang Huaxuan did this, of course he understood that Zhang Huaxuan wanted to keep Hu Zhuge.Although he didn't understand why Zhang Huaxuan wanted to keep the traitor's life, it was thanks to Zhang Huaxuan that the rebellion could be put down, so Xia Xuan couldn't refute Zhang Huaxuan's intention.Anyway, these things have to be decided by adults in the end, so Xia Xuan put the blood-stained blade back into the sheath, bowed his hands to Zhang Huaxuan and Xia Ting, and said: "In this case, it is not too late, let's hurry up .”[

Xia Xuan was right. After all, Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng were still in the hands of the rebels. Although Hu Zhuge had already been captured, there was no guarantee that the rebels in the inner court would not jump over the wall in a hurry, which would be bad for Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng.Originally, Zhang Huaxuan put himself in danger this time, just to find a chance to rescue Xia Cheng, Xia Ziteng and others, but he didn't expect Hu Zhuge to save his hand.Only Xia Ting and others were brought out, leaving Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng in the inner courtyard.Now that Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng hadn't been rescued, Zhang Huaxuan and the others didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately everyone rushed towards the inner courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, there were still many important officials of the Xia family army guarding here. The changes in Shangrao these days had already alarmed all the officials in Shangrao City. got involved.And it was Zhang Sailiang, Zhang Sailiang and others who directed the battle at the forefront.

Seeing Zhang Huaxuan coming, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang both heaved a sigh of relief. They were shocked when they heard Zhang Huaxuan said that he would go to the commander-in-chief of the Xia family's army alone to rescue the adults.After all, they were all veterans of the Xia family army, and they also knew that Zhang Huaxuan had good swordsmanship, so they agreed to Zhang Huaxuan's plan as a last resort. Now that Zhang Huaxuan came back safe and sound, everyone was relieved.Immediately, Zhang Sailiang stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Huaxuan, how are you doing? Did you rescue your lord?"

Zhang Huaxuan smiled wryly, shook his head, pointed to Xia Wu and the others behind him and said, "The young masters were successfully rescued, but the lord and the eldest son are still in the backyard. Also, the second son should be in the backyard."

It was Zhang Sailiang and others who discovered Xia Wu and the others behind Zhang Huaxuan, and saluted Xia Ting and the others one after another. Then they stood up straight and said to Zhang Huaxuan with a worried face: "Then what should I do? My lord and the eldest son both In the hands of the rebels, we should be wary."

This was what Zhang Huaxuan was most worried about. He raised his head and glanced at the door that was still fighting in front of him.Although the rebels in the inner courtyard are still resisting tenaciously, Xia Ting's rebellion has now been made public. More than half of them surrendered. It can be seen that the rebels will not be able to support them for long.

Sure enough, before there was even a stick of incense, a gap was opened in the defense line formed by the rebels, and all the soldiers immediately rushed forward and rushed into the inner courtyard.The rebels who were still holding on to the last ray of hope also dropped their weapons and surrendered one after another.Soon, the soldiers took control of the entire inner courtyard, and then Zhang Huaxuan and others stepped into the inner courtyard.Of course, he didn't forget to hold Hu Zhuge.

Xia Wu went to the front this time, and led everyone directly to a small courtyard with a closed gate, and said to Zhang Huaxuan, "Daddy and elder brother were imprisoned here. My fourth brother and I were also imprisoned here before. It was brought out by Hu Zhuge." As he said that, Xia Wu did not forget to give Hu Zhuge behind him a hard look, and it seemed that the hatred was hard to shake.

Hearing Xia Ting's words, everyone glanced at each other. Zhang Huaxuan, Zhang Sailiang and others felt a little strange. They guessed that the rebels might take Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng as hostages, but it didn't happen.Xia Xuan didn't have time to think about it, when he heard Xia Ting say that Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng were in the courtyard, Xia Xuan waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to surround the small courtyard.

Just when Zhang Huaxuan and others persuaded Xia Xuan not to rush to attack, there was only a squeak, and the courtyard door that had been closed before was suddenly opened, making the outside of the chaotic courtyard instantly quiet .Zhang Huaxuan and others looked up and saw a person walking out of the courtyard gate, it was the culprit of the rebellion, Xia Ting.

At this moment, Xia Ting was not depressed about being defeated, but with a faint smile on his face, like a winner, he swaggered out of the yard.Seeing Xia Ting coming out, Zhang Huaxuan frowned, while Xia Wu beside him couldn't help shouting: "Brother, what are you doing to Daddy?"

Xia Ting smiled, nodded to Xia Ting, and said: "Brother, don't worry. Although I am anxious to sit in that seat, I am not so mad that even Daddy will murder him. Daddy is still resting inside , Eldest Brother is accompanying Daddy. If you don’t believe me, you can go in and have a look.”

Although Xia Ting said so, Xia Wu and the others obviously still couldn't believe him, and they all ran directly into the yard.However, Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang did not leave, but stared closely at Xia Ting for a long time. Finally, Zhang Huaxuan sighed for a long time. He had already seen Xia Ting's thoughts. Naturally, the culprit would not be able to survive anymore. Instead of being killed, he might as well find a good time for himself.

However, Zhang Huaxuan didn't mean to stop Xia Ting. Although the rebellion had been quelled this time, someone still had to bear the responsibility. Hu Zhuge and Zhang Huaxuan had other purposes, so he couldn't die yet.So Xia Tinglai had to bear the responsibility alone.Apparently Xia Ting is also a smart person, and he was mentally prepared early on. He glanced at Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang, Xia Ting smiled lightly, and said, "Master Zhang. After the boy dies, please help me take care of me. Wife and children."
