Murong Xue read the simple sixteen words several times.
Obviously, the cloth was sent by people from the Nilin Division sent by Li Jiangyao. Only they can do this, and only they have the ability to do this.
The purpose is to rescue himself again.
Lao Jianhua must have left Dongdu because of some important matters, so good brothers Li Jiangyao and Ni Linsi plan to launch an operation to rescue him at midnight tomorrow night.
The other party did not mention how Murong Xue would be required to cooperate, which meant that he had already made a detailed plan, and he only needed to make corresponding preparations when the time came.
But the question is, what does it mean to "keep an eye on your lady, don't tell her"?
Murong Xue's first reaction was that Ni Linsi had begun to doubt Rui Ji's identity.
Previously, because he learned about Hua Niang, he had also become suspicious of the relationship between Rui Ji and Lao Jianhua. However, after observation and testing, Murong Xue did not find any evidence that Rui Ji was a spy from Feng Chen. Moreover, after experiencing so many hardships and twists and turns, Rui Ji has always been deeply affectionate and unyielding to her, without any sign of hypocrisy.
Just now, Rui Ji was still trying to persuade Murong Xue to keep his reputation as a loyal minister, and would rather suffer hardships with him than waver.
How could such a woman with a profound understanding of justice be the craftsman sent by Lao Jianhua?
Murong Xue felt that all the previous suspicions and speculations had wronged this poor woman.
Nilinsi must have followed Hua Niang's clues to determine that there was suspicion on Rui Ji, so he specifically reminded himself not to tell her about the rescue. But this also means that in the rescue tomorrow night, Li Jiangyao and Nilinsi are very likely not to take Rui Ji with them, and may even take advantage of the chaos to kill this imaginary "spy". .
Murong Xue secretly thought: No, Jiang Yao doesn't understand Rui Ji, Ni Linsi is even more ruthless, but I can't be confused. What's more, Ruiji now has my child, and she can't leave her alone no matter what!
Now he still has some value to Lao Jianhua, and he and his wife have been treated so harshly. Once he escapes alone, won't Rui Ji who is left behind face an even more miserable situation?
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Ruiji asked with concern as she lay on her side on the couch.
Murong Xue pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked at Rui Ji: "Rui Gua'er, you have been weak recently and it is not easy to be too nervous. And I have to deal with Lao Jianhua's interrogation, so I don't have the energy to take care of other things. Therefore, I have always had a question in my mind. I didn’t have time to ask you.”
"What questions?"
"How come your sister Lian Ji...knows martial arts? Why did you show up in Luoyi?" Murong Xue said solemnly: "I remember you said that she was sold by a brothel to a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, and she has disappeared since then. News. But she was with Di Xian’s guards that day and almost stole the prince."
Rui Ji smiled sadly and said, "Ms. sir, I had known you would ask this question. Hua Niang's good friend was really a senior official in the court. His surname was Xue. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was with Lao Jianhua. We have a deep friendship. After the misfortune of Hua Niang, Mr. Xue said hello to Yihongyuan and took care of us sisters, but he did not redeem our lives. Once, Lao Jianhua came to Yihong with him After spending some time in the hospital, he found that Lian Ji had good bones and was suitable for practicing martial arts, so he promised his sister through drinking wine that he would teach her some martial arts skills. In this way, for more than a year, when Lao Jianhua occasionally came to drink, he would teach Lian Ji Ji Wugong, and my sister is also very active by nature, so she was happy to learn some skills from him so that she could protect my useless sister. Later, for some unknown reason, Lao Jianhua disappeared for a long time and never appeared again. "
She took a short break, breathed a weak breath, and continued: "After that, our sisters were spotted by our benefactors one after another, and we left the brothel and went our separate ways, completely cutting off contact. You ask me why Lian Ji suddenly appeared, and why. I will be mixed up with the enemy, and I will not know about it at all, and I will not have time to ask my sister in detail. If my husband is angry because of Lian Ji, and even doubts my identity, I will not be able to defend myself, but I will die to prove my innocence!"
Hearing her words so decisively, Murong Xue did not doubt that he was there and said quickly: "What are you talking about? If I had doubts, I wouldn't ask you in person like this. It's just because there is an important matter in front of me that requires me Give others a clear explanation, so I will check with you. Don't be anxious and sad, and lie down quickly."
Rui Ji was confused when she heard this: "Ms. sir, what are you talking about? What important things need to be explained to others?"
Murong Xue whispered in Rui Ji's ear: "Tomorrow night, people from the court will come to rescue. We must be prepared before midnight."
"Ah!" Rui Ji's eyes lit up and she looked at Murong Xue in disbelief: "Is it true?"
Murong Xue made a gesture of silence, nodded to her, and said in a low voice: "Lao Jianhua has left Luoyi. No one in this place can stop my good brother Li Jiangyao, nor can he stop the supernatural power." Nilin Division. Rui Gua'er, we will be saved tomorrow."
As if inspired by the good news, Rui Ji's spirit immediately improved a lot. She couldn't hide her excitement and said happily: "That's great! Thank you God and God for your blessing! My husband, you don't have to be angry with me anymore."
"We both don't have to be angry anymore." Murong Xue corrected.
Ruiji nodded vigorously, her beautiful eyes full of energy. After a while, she asked slightly worriedly: "Ms. sir, I am weak now and will be a drag on you tomorrow night. What should I do?"
"It doesn't matter." Murong Xue comforted her, "You are so cute, how much do you weigh? When the time comes, I will carry you on my back and you will still be able to walk as fast as flying."
-
Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, Murong Xue and Rui Ji got up and freshened up. While tidying up their clothes, they anxiously waited for the sun to set and night to fall.
This whole day was like a year for the two of them.
The more I look forward to time passing by faster, the more I feel that time is like a snail, lying in place motionless.
During this period, the food delivery boy came twice, but he was not the same person as yesterday. And this change made Murong Xue feel a little restless.
After looking forward and looking forward to it, it finally got dark and dark, and they could hear the drums playing in the Qiao Tower for the third time. Murong Xue and Rui Ji's originally worried hearts were raised in their throats again.
He glanced at Rui Ji, who was slightly uneasy, stood up quietly, walked slowly to the door, and looked out through the gap. In the dim sight, only the backs of four Xuanjia Army soldiers standing guard could be seen, and there were figures patrolling back and forth in the distance.
Murong Xue couldn't help but murmur in her heart. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a gong sound suddenly sounded outside, followed by people everywhere shouting: "The water is leaking! The water is leaking! Come quickly, the back house is flooded." La!"
This is Xie Guang's Taifu Mansion, and the place where Murong Xue was imprisoned is in the side courtyard to the east. Behind it is the residence of Xie Mansion's family members. As soon as they heard that the back house was on fire, the guards in the side courtyard all became nervous and discussed with each other whether they should run over to help put out the fire.
Murong Xue knew that this must be Ni Linsi's method of "making an impact in the east and attacking in the west". He quickly asked Ruiji to take out the cloth belt that had been prepared in advance, put it on himself first, and fixed it firmly. When he ran away later, he conveniently used this cloth belt to fasten Rui Ji on his back.
The two of them were fussing around in the room when a sudden shout came from outside: "Who is this!"
Immediately after four or five consecutive sounds of crossbows, the guards of the Xuanjia Army let out muffled howls of pain, and the sounds of fighting also rang out.
Before Murong Xue could react, the door was kicked open with a bang.
Three men dressed as Xuanjia soldiers rushed into the room, and the leader said to Murong Xue: "General Murong, we are from the Nilin Division, and we have been ordered to rescue you."
After that, he took off a large baggage from behind, revealing a set of military uniforms of the Xuanjia Army.
Murong Xue understood what he meant and immediately asked: "What should my wife do?"
The man was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "We can only take you away alone!"
"That's impossible!" Murong Xue said firmly, "I won't leave her, otherwise I would rather not leave."
The three spies looked at each other in shock, completely not expecting such an unexpected situation.
The older spy on the left said: "General Murong, your humble position is Wang Hai of the Luoyi branch. How about this? You go with our Commander Qiao first, and I will be responsible for covering my wife and finding another way. How about that?"
Murong Xue shook her head and replied without any doubt: "If you want to leave, you must take her with you. I can carry her on my back without getting in the way."
Qiao Shengchun gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "We don't have time to be nagging! Let's go together. Change clothes quickly, Madam... I will carry it!"
Murong Xue quickly put on the Xuanjia Army uniform. Ruiji was so frightened that she couldn't help but peek at the three people standing next to her. At this time, another spy ran in and reported: "Boss Qiao, most of the people in the mansion have gone to put out the fire. The passages have been cleared and the streets outside are under control!"
Qiao Shengchun nodded, and his slightly nervous mood calmed down a little. He said to Murong Xue: "General, Lao Jianhua and Di Xian left Dongdu four days ago. We suspected that there was fraud, so we did not dare to act rashly. . It wasn’t until the brothers from Shaanzhou sent news and confirmed that we had seen the old thief that we launched the rescue plan. Also with God’s blessing, Xie Bao led his troops out of the city for drills at noon today and is not in the house right now, so as long as we act quickly, we will definitely Escape safely."
Murong Xue fixed the last arm armor and said happily: "It's time to leave without further delay!" After saying that, he stepped forward to help up the limp Rui Ji, let her lie on his back, and then used a cloth belt to hold her waist. truss.
Qiao Shengchun looked at them helplessly, shook his head at Wang Hai, and then waved his hand: "Withdraw!"
