Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 284 Preparations ([-])

"Zan'er fell into their hands. If I don't go, he will definitely suffer. I have to go this time." At this time, Yao Cunhui couldn't help feeling a little suspicious. This is not like Lu Ying's behavior. , not to mention the possibility of Lu Ying doing this now, if she really wanted to embarrass herself, she should attack herself directly, there is no need to turn such a corner!Moreover, this kind of threat is not like her style, it's almost as good as directly attacking her!

But besides Lu Ying, who else?

Could it be Zhao Jiyuan?If it was him, Wu Jin's ability would be enough to deal with it, if not, even she herself would be a bit puzzled.

Wu Jin didn't dare to say anything more, he clasped his hands and said "yes", carefully handed the letter to Wu Guang, and then went out with Yao Cunhui one after the other.

Yao Cunhui hired a horse-drawn carriage at random in Beijing and went out of the city, heading straight for Luoyan Mountain.At the foot of the mountain, she received a letter to guide her up the mountain. There were only a few lines in the letter, and the handwriting was elegant, like a woman's handwriting. The letter guides up the mountain.

Yao Cunhui did not expect that Xu Wanzhu and Du Zhong were the ones who captured Yao Shizan and led her up the mountain!
As soon as she went up the mountain, she was knocked unconscious from behind, and when she woke up, she found that she was in a cave, and Xu Wanzhu sat in front of her with her arms around her knees, staring at her quietly with a pair of bright black eyes.

"Cousin Wan'er!" Yao Cunhui was surprised and delighted, and when she was about to struggle to get up, she realized that her hands and feet had been tied.

"Cousin Wan'er?" Yao Cunhui looked at Xu Wanzhu in disbelief.

"Didn't expect that? We meet again!" Xu Wanzhu smiled calmly.

Yao Cunhui's heart sank suddenly, not only because of Xu Wanzhu's attitude, but also her attire.She was dressed in plain white clothes, with no makeup on her face, and only two silver hairpins inserted into her bun for fixing, her face was very haggard.

"What's going on?" Yao Cunhui's voice trembled, "Isn't Du Dazhao——"

"He's not dead," Xu Wanzhu suddenly smiled, "Is it a surprise? That day the army from Zhengxi suddenly invaded the village, and the village was destroyed. Nearly [-] people in the family died, and only he and I escaped! Cousin, are we lucky?"

Yao Cunhui only felt cold all over, and murmured: "How could this happen!"

Xu Wanzhu sneered, and his voice suddenly became sharp and full of hatred, "I also really want to know why this happened! It's not the first day for the Western Conqueror Army to arrive in the Western Regions. It has been safe and sound for the past two years, but you went to Luntai, and the hind legs Then came the army to attack the mountain, good cousin, tell me, what is the reason for this?"

"You suspect it's me? I didn't, I really didn't! If I hadn't heard what you said right now, I wouldn't have known this happened at all!" Yao Cunhui looked at Xu Wanzhu in disbelief.

"Wan'er!" A thick male voice sounded from the entrance of the cave, and a man wearing a blue-gray dishcloth bunt flashed in.

Xu Wanzhu ignored Yao Cunhui, got up and walked towards the man, calling out "Brother Du!"

Du Zhong unscrewed the water bag in his hand and handed it to her. Xu Wanzhu took a sip of water before handing it back to him.

"Miss Yao, you are not wronged." Du Zhong came over and said to her with a cold face, "General Shen must have known you for a long time, right? To protect your reputation, of course he will not let us live! Hmph, but I have to ask him for the lives of my brothers! Don't worry, we won't do anything to you before he comes! You have some affection for Wan'er, because of this, I can forgive you You die!"

"Where's my brother? What did you do to him?" Yao Cunhui paused, then suddenly became nervous.

"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with him. When the man surnamed Shen comes and settles the matter, we will naturally let him go!" Du Zhong cast a contemptuous glance at Yao Cunhui.

Yao Cunhui didn't make a sound, just sat there quietly and lowered her head.

Two hundred people in the village died at the hands of the Xizheng army, what else could she say to Du Zhong and Xu Wanzhu?It is too hypocritical to say that the dead are dead.They were calm enough not to kill her immediately!

She prayed secretly in her heart, both looking forward to Shen Quan's coming and afraid of him coming!According to this posture, Du Zhong and Shen Quan may not die forever.Yao Cunhui couldn't help looking at Xu Wanzhu, if two men must die, what should she and Xu Wanzhu do?
Xu Wanzhu also happened to look at her, met her complex eyes mixed with pity, and turned her head with a cold snort.

"Don't you want to see me? I'm here, let me go!" Du Zhong's voice fell, but within two or three sentences, Shen Quan's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. Quietly staring at Eucommia.

Du Zhong froze, turned around slowly, and stared at Shen Quan without blinking.

The surrounding air suddenly became tense, and Xu Wanzhu also stood up, standing behind Yao Cunhui and controlling her, full of vigilance.

"Crack, click" a few slight sounds of joints were exceptionally clear, Du Zhong's hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were full of hatred, and his whole body exuded an uncontrollable violent air.

"You're finally here!" Du Zhong said with a miserable smile, "The spirits of my two hundred brothers are all watching, Shen Quan, take your life!"Shen Quan dodged slightly, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them were inseparable from each other, and could only see the two flashing figures interlaced and hear the whistling wind caused by the struggle.

"Brother Du will definitely win, he won't be so unreasonable!" Xu Wanzhu gave Yao Cunhui a bitter look, not knowing whether he was telling him or warning her.

Yao Cunhui didn't say anything.Although she doesn't know martial arts, she also knows that if the mighty General Zhengxi can't even beat a bandit leader, what kind of general is he?

Sure enough, after a while, there was only a scream, and with a "bang", someone was hit on the ground. The two women were startled and looked down, only to see Eucommia collapsed on the ground, with one hand propped on the ground and the other pressing on the ground. There was a smear of bright red blood flowing from the corner of his chest and mouth.

"Stop! Or I'll kill her!" Xu Wanzhu's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his bosom, and pressed it against Yao Cunhui's neck.

Shen Quan only glanced at her indifferently, and said to Du Zhong on the ground: "A bandit is a bandit. As an official of the imperial court, it is my duty to kill the bandit. Since you refuse to recruit, you deserve to be killed. You should be killed for your brothers." Crying for injustice, those passers-by who were robbed and killed by you, who will call for injustice for them?"

Du Zhong laughed bitterly, raised his head stiffly, stared at Shen Quan coldly and said, "General Shen, I, Du, admired you somewhat, but I didn't expect you to be such a hypocrite! Haha, kill as you want, Shen Da Why does the general have to say such grandiose words!"

"Brother Du!" Xu Wanzhu called out desolately, bit her lip and stared at Shen Quan, the dagger on Yao Cunhui's neck tightened again.

"I don't understand what you mean," Shen Quan raised her eyebrows high, "Why am I being hypocritical?"

Du Zhong pointed at Yao Cunhui, and said sharply: "There are only a few people, why should General Shen put on a show! You sent people to kill the cottage, just because of this woman! To preserve the reputation of this woman, kill and silence her! Recruiting? Haha, ridiculous!"

Shen Quan was startled, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said coldly: "Have you held Hui'er hostage?"

"Brother Shen doesn't know about this!" Yao Cunhui sighed softly, "I didn't tell him, and I also ordered people not to say a word. Du Da is in charge, I think you have misunderstood!"

"Impossible!" Xu Wanzhu screamed: "That night, the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked and killed everyone they saw, without giving anyone a chance to breathe. If the brothers hadn't resisted desperately, Brother Du and I would have escaped too. We didn’t come out. Later we quietly went back, everyone died, and the cottage was completely burned down! Yao Cunhui, I just believed in you, and I believed that you wouldn’t say anything, that’s why—” Xu Wanzhu choked up, His eyes were bleak and resentful.

"How could I say it! I know you're there!" Yao Cunhui smiled wryly.

"You guys are so brave to hold Hui'er hostage!" Shen Quan stared at Eucommia on the ground with frightening eyes.

Du Zhong snorted disdainfully, and said in disbelief: "It's a pity! If I knew this, I shouldn't have been so cheap in the first place——"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Quan kicked him in the face, and said coldly: "If I know about this, anyone can escape, but you can't escape!"

"Stop! Believe it or not, I'll kill her!" Xu Wanzhu's hands trembled.

"You can't kill her," Shen Quan shook his head, "With me here, you can't kill her! If you dare to touch her, I will teach you that life is better than death, and I will pull out all your nine and ten clans and toss them one by one. Believe it or not!"

Xu Wanzhu suddenly thought of his relatives far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and his face changed suddenly.

"I don't think your demeanor is like that of an ordinary girl. You don't want to be so self-deprecating and associating with bandits. I don't know how your parents and relatives know how it feels!" Shen Quan glanced at Xu Wanzhu with disdain.

Xu Wanzhu's face turns green and turns pale, embarrassment unbearable, and she simply shouted at Shen Quan: "Brother Du is a good man, I just want to be lowly and want to be with him, so what! I have no parents, I only have Brother Du!"

"You are a small cottage, and it's not my turn to take care of you. On that day, my general reported to you that you have robbed and murdered business travelers for your crimes. The crimes are obvious, and you should be killed. He took the initiative to invite Ying to go to clean up. I thought about it. Dao Shi is also good, so he nodded and agreed. If you know that you have kidnapped Huier, hum!" Shen Quan gave Du Zhong a cold look.

"You—" Shen Quan deeply humiliated Du Zhong with an expression of not paying attention to others at all. Du Zhong was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"I won't kill you today," Shen Quan ignored his reaction, and said to himself: "There may be something else going on in this matter, and I will inquire about it when I get back. A man should serve his country in his life, and he should die on the battlefield if he dies. Zhan Shan What kind of a hero is a king and doing evil? Your brothers are not wronged! I think you have some skills. If you join the army, you will be able to make a career. Even if you don’t think about yourself, a good girl will follow you, isn’t it? You are willing to let her bear the name of a bandit for the rest of her life!"

Du Zhong was speechless all of a sudden, and glared at Shen Quan bitterly.
