subvert the late Tang Dynasty

When Zhu Wen was on the street, he still felt aggrieved. He obviously hadn't done anything, which made it ridiculous for two self-righteous guys to think they were smart.

Zhu Wen patted the money on his waist, and said in his heart: "I don't believe you two don't come! All the money is with me, and if you don't come, you won't have lunch..." Looking back, Zhu Cun and Zhu Cun were sure enough. Jane followed from a distance behind.

Zhu Wen laughed secretly, anyway, the money was brought, so he simply left the city for Sichuan.

Seeing Zhu Wen walking all the way out of the city, Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen couldn't bear it, so they hurried to follow.Zhu Cun said angrily, "Third brother, are you really going to leave?"

When Zhu Wen heard this topic again, he couldn't help having a headache, ignored Zhu Cun, quickened his pace, and arrived outside the city in a short while.Zhu Wen ran five miles in one breath before stopping.

Although Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen are in good health and have traveled long distances to hunt in the mountains, it is not like Zhu Wen's running training in the army is commonplace.

Panting, Zhu Cun ran up to Zhu Wen, grabbed Zhu Wen, and said, "You...you run...why are you running? I'm telling you...to be kind..."

Zhu Wen's head was about to explode. There are not many records about Zhu Cun in the history books. Zhu Wen really didn't know that he was such a mother-in-law.Just as he was about to explain, Zhu Zhen arrived later.

Zhu Zhen also said calmly: "Third brother, I didn't want to talk about you, but it's obviously that you are wrong. Since you don't like people, why did you come into people's house in the middle of the night? Since you did that kind of thing How can you abandon others and walk away when things come up?"

The three of them spat and quarreled in the official way. Although Zhu Wen knew he was innocent, he was obviously at a disadvantage in the one-on-two argument.

At this time, a luxurious carriage passed by the official road, and there were dozens of knights in bright armor guarding the carriage.The sound of hoofbeats and the sound of the car rumbled. There must be no ordinary people in such a grand car.

Although the three of Zhu and Wen were quarreling fiercely, they still consciously stepped aside.

Zhu Wen inadvertently looked at the carriage, but saw the curtains of the carriage lifted, and a young woman in luxurious clothes was looking towards the three of them.It seems that the woman heard the quarrel between the three and wanted to see what happened.

The carriage drove past quickly, but Zhu Wen suddenly stopped arguing, his eyes fixed on the direction of the carriage, but there seemed to be a monstrous languor in his heart.Zhu Wen saw that although the young woman in the car was wearing a gorgeous palace attire, she was clearly the wife Xiaohui he had been thinking about day and night.

"My God, did she also come here? I don't know what happened to my son." Zhu Wen hurriedly got rid of the two entangled guys, and hurriedly chased after the carriage.

Is it really her?He couldn't help asking himself.It must be her, since she can time travel, why can't she?He was excited, but he didn't notice that the woman in the car was only twenty-eight years old, at least ten years younger than his wife Xiaohui.

Zhu Wen chased all the way, and excitedly called his wife's name, "Xiaohui..."

Seeing Zhu Wen chasing the carriage like crazy, Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen kept calling "Xiaohui" in their mouths.

The two looked at each other, thinking that the youngest is no wonder he doesn't like Huang Gu, it turns out that he is infatuated with the lady of the government, isn't this a toad who wants to eat swan meat?The two had no choice but to follow along.

The woman in the car was also startled when she heard Zhu Wen's shout, "How does that man know my nickname?" The two maids in the same car also looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to the young lady.

The woman in court clothes hurriedly said: "What are you two looking at, I don't know that person."

The maid Xiaoju covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Miss, we didn't say that you knew him. If you are so eager to deny it, isn't it true that there is no silver 300 taels here?"

Another maid, Xiaolan, hurriedly stuck her head to the window of the car, and saw a tall, handsome young man chasing after her.Because there were guards around the carriage, the man could not get close to the carriage.

Women always look twice when they see a handsome man, and the same is true for men when they see a beautiful woman.

Xiaolan deliberately exclaimed: "Sure enough, he is tall and handsome, with a dignified appearance. Although he is dressed in coarse old clothes, it is difficult to conceal his outstanding temperament..."

Xiaolan suddenly turned her head and asked the young lady, "I don't know when the young lady met, Xiaoju and I have been with the young lady all the time, why don't we know anything about it?"

It turned out that the woman in the car was the only daughter of Zhang Rui, the governor of Songzhou, whose nickname was Xiaohui.That day, he took two personal maidservants out of the city and went to Baiyun Temple to offer incense with dozens of guards. It was no coincidence that he ran into Zhu Wen, the doomed evil star.

Zhang Xiaohui blushed and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."

Zhang Xiaohui saw the two little maids were silent, she couldn't help feeling a little bit sorry, and said: "I really don't know that person, I don't know how he knows my nickname... Uh... I don't know if it's one of the three people just now Who is calling my name? No, I have to see who it is..." After that, he stuck his head out of the car window.

The two little maids looked at each other, made a face at the young lady's back, and snickered.

Suddenly hearing the sound of bowstrings, he was thinking wildly, a rain of arrows flew out of the forest, five or six guards screamed and fell off their horses, and this sudden change suddenly caused a group of people to scream.

In an instant, dozens of guards formed a defensive formation, which shows that these guards are also well-trained military elites.As soon as the formation was set up, the second round of arrow rain came again. There was a sound of "橐橐", and the arrow rain hit the shield.

The captain of the guard ordered 20 people to escort the lady's carriage back to the city, one of them flew back to the city to report the news, and he led more than [-] riders.

As soon as the carriage turned around, more than a dozen masked men rushed out of the forest on the left side of the official road, brandishing knives and guns, rushing towards the direction of the carriage.These dozen or so people are agile, and they are by no means ordinary people.

When the captain of the guard gave an order, more than 30 soldiers raised their knives to meet them, and fought with the dozen or so masked men.

Those dozen or so people had flexible footwork and quick movements, and they were able to dodge among dozens of cavalry with ease.But from time to time someone in the cavalry guard fell off his horse and died.

Although Zhu Wen had been a soldier for eight years in modern times, he had never seen such a scene, a sharp sword pierced his throat and blood spattered five steps.It turns out that when a human artery is severed, blood can really splash far away.Zhu Wen was afraid, and instinctively pulled Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen back and ran towards the city.

The three of them hadn't run far, when they turned around and saw more than 30 guards who had been killed turned their backs on their backs, and more than a dozen masked men grabbed their horses and chased after the carriage.Seeing more than a dozen people chasing closer and closer, and Yin Hong's blood on the steel knife in his hand gleamed horribly under the autumn sun, Zhu Wen groaned in his heart.

The [-] riders in the front were galloping at high speed with their carriages, but the speed of the carriages was far from that of the war horses. At this speed, they would have to be overtaken by masked bandits if they could not reach Song City.Zhang Xiaohui was also extremely anxious, she kept urging the driver, and looked at the pursuers from time to time.

Zhu Wen was at war between heaven and man, and there was only one thought in his mind, not to let them catch up with Xiaohui, but when he turned around and saw the bloody steel knife in his hand, he felt guilty for a while.

The chasing soldiers approached in a blink of an eye, and Zhu Wen's heart fluttered, and a tiger pounced on a masked bandit on the horse, and the two rolled away on the ground.

The bandits thought that Zhu Wen was an ordinary citizen and didn't take it seriously. He threw him off his horse by surprise, threw him all over the place, and flew far away with his single hand.As soon as Zhu Wen succeeded in the blow, he hurriedly used the fighting skills he practiced in the army to remove the joints of the man's arms, dislocating his arms and making him unable to resist.

The man let out a scream, almost fainting from the pain.Seeing Zhu Wen's attack, the other bandits were also startled, and hurriedly reined in their horses, but they didn't just stop when they were galloping. When they reined in and turned back, they heard the screams of their companions.

One shot shouted: "Brother Lin, brother Li was murdered by that kid, let's avenge brother Li." Immediately, seven or eight people rushed towards Zhu Wen on horseback.

Horrified, Zhu Wen hurriedly picked up a single knife on the ground and put it across the neck of the restrained bandit surnamed Li, shouting: "Don't come over, anyone who dares to come over will kill him!"

Seeing that the man surnamed Li Huan was not dead, but was held hostage by Zhu Wen, the group of thieves stopped immediately, forming a state of siege with Zhu Wen in the middle.

The man called "Brother Lin" shouted: "The big thing is important, leave him alone, follow me to chase the carriage!"

Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen saw that Zhu Wen was inexplicably embarrassing with the bandits, and they cursed Zhu Wen for being reckless.But after all, brothers are united, Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen winked, and while the bandits were hesitating, they threw themselves down one by one, grabbed their weapons, got on their horses and rushed to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen was moved when he saw Zhu Cun immediately blocked him with a horizontal knife.Although Zhu Zhen was not very old at this time, she was standing side by side with Zhu Cun on a leaping horse and holding a gun, quite a bit of a hero, and she was completely different from the usual foolish money-grubbing kid.

I suddenly sighed in my heart, and thought, they should be born heroes on the battlefield, is it right or wrong for me to force them to live the lives of ordinary people?

The group of thieves were successfully attacked one after another. In their rage, they wished to cut Zhu Wen and the other three into pieces, but the two sides were in a confrontation.

The person known as "Brother Lin" may be the leader of this group of people. Seeing the carriage running farther and farther, but the people under his command got into trouble with Zhu Wen and the other three, he couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "You can't do it because of him." If one person delays the important event, kill them!" When the first to rush forward, the group of thieves also rushed over.

Zhu Zhen tightened her spear tightly, and met the bandit surnamed Lin. The two horses kicked off, and the swords and guns intersected. Zhu Zhen's tiger's mouth was numb from the shock. , Brandishing a big knife, the group of thieves couldn't help him for a while.Because Zhu Wen had a hostage in hand, no one dared to think about him.

After five or six rounds of fighting between Zhu Zhen and the bandit surnamed Lin, she was already unable to do what she wanted.After all, Zhu Zhen was young and had no experience in battle, so she didn't know how to use horsepower, so she relied on a strong force to barely support her.

Seeing that Zhu Zhen was defeated, Zhu Wen felt extremely anxious because the hostage in his hands was obviously not the main person, and the other party didn't take it seriously at all.Just about to step forward to rescue Zhu Zhen, she suddenly heard a soft voice: "Stop! Cousin, don't hurt their lives."

The bandit surnamed Lin slashed down with his knife. Seeing that Zhu Zhen couldn't resist, he was about to cut him off the horse. Hearing this, the knife turned into a slap halfway through, and the back of the knife hit Zhu Zhen's shoulder. Zhu Zhen fell from the horse and was killed. capture.At this time, Zhu Cun had also fallen from his horse, with a steel knife on his neck.

Zhu Wen saw that the person who came was a tall, masked woman in a strong outfit. Although he couldn't see her face, he knew that she was Huang Gu.Zhu Wen smiled wryly and said: "Miss Huang, I never thought that meeting again would be like this. I originally wanted to stay away from Bashu, but somehow I got involved in your dispute."

Huang Gu ignored him, turned her head to look at the carriage that had already gone away, and said: "It seems that we can't catch up, quickly evacuate and bring these three people back, General Huang wants to see them."

Zhang Xiaohui had already returned to Zhang's mansion. Inspector Zhang Rui heard that there were bandits outside Song City who dared to openly attack his guards. Although his daughter had returned safely, he still sent two thousand soldiers out of the city to search.The result is of course nothing.

On the boudoir, Zhang Xiaohui stood alone in front of the window, looking at the shadows of the trees whirling under the autumn wind outside the window, but Zhu Wen's shadow could not stop appearing in her heart.

How did he know my nickname?He must have rushed at the bandits desperately to save me, but I don't know him!how is heWill the robbers kill him?Thinking of the situation where my father's [-] bodyguard cavalry were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour, I felt a twinge of pain in my heart. Is he really dead?Did I die for a woman I've never met?

Tears rolled down her cheeks silently, for the man she didn't even know, not even his name.

Xiaoju comforted softly: "Miss, don't be sad. The soldiers and horses that the master sent out to hunt down the bandits have already returned. Xiaolan went to ask the general who came back to find out about the strong man, and he will be back soon. Maybe the strong man is a good man. If there is a good news, it may be safe and sound, I think that person is very skilled, and the gang of robbers may not be able to do anything to him..."

The sound of hurried footsteps went up the boudoir, Zhang Xiaohui hurried to the stairs, and said anxiously: "Xiaolan, is there any news?"

Xiaolan shook her head and said dejectedly: "I haven't heard any news about him, but I heard Captain Li say that except for the corpses of more than 30 guards, no other corpses were found. Maybe the strong man escaped... "

Zhang Xiaohui shook her head sadly, and asked slowly: "Have you found out what his name is?"

Xiao Lan asked in surprise, "Miss really doesn't know him?"

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Zhang Rui and Mrs. Zhang appeared at the stairs at some point.

Mrs. Zhang was also carrying a tray with a few dishes of exquisite stir-fry and a plate of bright red and oily sweet and sour pork ribs.Mrs. Zhang said: "Xiaohui, have some food first. You haven't eaten since you came back in the morning. This is not your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs that your father asked the butler to order for you."

The two maids hurriedly knelt down to salute the old lady.

Zhang Xiaohui said sadly: "I can't eat it."

Zhang Rui sighed, and said: "Fang is in chaos today, there are bandits everywhere, the salt lord Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao gathered people to plunder everywhere, and all the feudal towns supported their own troops and refused to listen to the imperial court's orders, so the two thieves could not be wiped out after three years of wandering. According to the Malay report, Wang Xianzhi His general Shang Rang hoarded his troops on Chaya Mountain, Huang Chao entered Chaya Mountain to join Shang Rang not long ago, Wang Xianzhi must have gone up the mountain by this time."

Zhang Rui talked and continued: "Oh, the two thieves joined forces to attack the mountains. The pictures are nothing but Chen, Cai, and Song states. The veteran governor of Chenzhou, Zhao Ji, is popular and proficient in the art of war; the governor of Caizhou, Qin Zongquan, is even more powerful. The state is number one in the state. In addition, Caizhou is rich in mules and horses, and the army is mostly cavalry. Only Songzhou has relatively weak troops. It seems that the two thieves will attack Songzhou soon. The bandits who intend to hijack you this time are probably the two thieves. They saw that Song City was weak, but the city was high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they wanted to take you as a hostage and force the city to surrender for their father."

Zhang Rui looked forlorn, the wrinkles on his thin face trembled like knives, gently wiped away the tears on his daughter's cheeks with his dry palm, and said in a desolate tone: "Don't you two thieves know that Zhang is a shepherd of a state?" How could you easily bring down a thief?" He lovingly stroked his daughter's hair and said, "Although I only have one daughter for you, if I dedicate the city to you, which of the [-] people in the city doesn't have a daughter? Well, fortunately, you are a lucky man. , come back safely, if not, I am afraid that my father will not be able to save you from the fire."

Zhang Xiaohui burst into tears, and said sadly: "My daughter knows my father's temperament, and knows that if my daughter falls into the hands of thieves, she must die. She will never make things difficult for her father. My daughter always asks for her own death, but at the critical moment, she gets one. Only a strong man came forward to rescue him, and he survived. It was just that he was troubled by that strong man, and he felt uneasy, so he asked Xiaolan to go out to investigate..."

Zhang Rui asked her what happened at that time, and sighed: "I'm afraid it's more unfortunate than good, but I don't know the name of that chivalrous man. Alas, he is a real chivalrous man who can shed his head and blood for someone he has never met. I only sigh this old man." No chance to see you."
