Zhuang Xun obviously didn't realize that he still had the value of a hostage, and Si Qin Mi didn't expect that Li Rusi would go straight to the palace.
Now the marriage cannot be concluded. In such a chaotic situation, the whole mansion is on guard, and Zhuang Xun is pacing anxiously.
On the other side, the girl and her mother were also waiting anxiously. He Heng followed Li Rusi out.
"It's okay, it's okay. Your father is very skilled in martial arts, so it's okay." His mother comforted He Tan.
"Mom, my daughter is restless. Why is dad going? Why don't you stay to protect us?" He Tan sat next to Dong and sighed.
"But this is responsibility and obligation. How can your father retreat when he is promoted?" Dong wanted to persuade He Tan from the perspective of justice.
"My father returned to Yu State last time, and his martial arts has improved. In fact, he doesn't need to take this kind of position anymore. He has better choices." He Tan was unhappy, and he was lowered to a captain or something.
"Your father also wants to repay the censor for his kindness. Besides, doesn't he have to go to the battlefield to go to other places?
Tan'er, since you are selling your strength, you will go to the battlefield wherever you are.
Besides, the position of school captain is not low, and it is also the best position that the censor can give to your father at present. "Ms. Dong explained, knowing that He Tan was furious.
"Isn't repayment enough?" His little hand stroked Dong's big belly, where his younger brother was.
"It's far from enough. I saved your family's lives and repaid the favor of one life. What about the other two?" He touched his daughter's little head.
"I can't repay you in this life. Do you really need your father and you to die for him?" He Tan walked into his mother Dong's arms and touched his round belly.
"Then what can I do? It's all voluntary. The censor never forced me to wait. No matter when your father was injured or now, it was your father and I's free will." Madam Dong fiddled with He Tan's hair. , her delicate hair was as smooth as silk, with both children in her arms, she smiled happily.
"I know, I know, Zhuang Xun is the best in the world. It's not like he is as rumored. He has a handsome appearance and a noble temperament, and every woman wants to give him a child." He Tan said gloomily.
"Taida, your brother Xun has never shortchanged you in all seasons, and has never forgotten you during the holidays..." Ms. Dong muttered to herself, either blaming her or simply speaking.
"I know, he regards me as his daughter, and he just wants to accept me as his goddaughter. Is he worthy?" He Tan raised his head, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"You stinky girl, get down on your knees..." Mrs. Dong became furious after hearing this, her face was as cold as ice, and the intimacy no longer existed.
He Tan knelt down and raised his head stubbornly.
"I used to pamper you, and my status as censor was not high enough. People would only treat you as childish when I said this to you. Now that you are about to get married, why do you still speak so lightly? Don't express your prejudice. Do you know that trouble comes from your mouth?"
Ms. Dong reprimanded and said that she was harsh with this young child. When she is sensible, she is really sensible, and when she is stubborn, she is really stubborn. She was frightened because of pity for her before, but today's words made Dong realize that she cannot Don't let her get used to her stubbornness anymore.
The majestic expression awakened He Tan's memories from childhood, and she lowered her stubborn head.
He did speak freely, which was nothing compared to his sweet talk with Si Qinmi.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
"boom……"
"You guys pack up and come with me to the inner house. There are rioters attacking the mansion. Why is Tan Meier kneeling down?" Zhuang Xun pushed the door open and greeted the two of them.
"That's not... I understand." Dong was briefly flustered and nodded.
"The civilian woman is admonishing her, get up, let's go to the inner house." Dong, who had had the experience of escaping once, moved very quickly and reached out to lift He Tan.
He Tan stood up and looked at Zhuang Xun with an incomprehensible look.
Zhuang Xun didn't care either. He helped Dong to walk out. Although Dong's body was plump, she was thin.
He Tan didn't dare to walk too fast. He Tan supported the other side, neither fast nor slow. The atmosphere was depressing. Zhuang Xun didn't pay attention. Although it was not the first time he faced a crisis, he still didn't develop the composure to be calm. He took a special look. Dong's swollen belly.
I regret that the idea of letting Mr. Dong go out of town to rest a few days ago was not implemented. At that time, I was thinking about the bumpy road and the problems of taking care of the people who were leaving the city, so I gave up. But now I feel that I am desperate for my life.
"It's inexplicable, how come there are rebels attacking the mansion." After retreating to the inner house, Zhuang Xun couldn't understand that at this moment, the inner house was filled with officials from Yu State who were stationed in Chengguo, as well as officials from the Ministry of Rites brought by Zhuang Xun, and they were all trembling.
The guards relied on the inner house to resist the opponent, and with He Jung, a martial arts master, the opponent's offensive was temporarily suspended.
"Benefactor, I'm sorry." He Jung strode in, carrying a strong man, as if answering Zhuang Xun's question.
"What's going on?" Zhuang Xun glanced at the half-dead, bruised man on the ground, and turned to ask He Jung.
"These are the people of King Qinghe. It seems that because Mrs. Li led the army to attack the imperial city, these people wanted to seize you as a threat to the benefactor. They were repulsed this time. They are now preparing to gather more troops to capture the benefactor. You." He Jung said he got the information from the prisoner's mouth.
"Is that so?" Zhuang Xun lowered his head and asked the captive man.
"That's it, kill me, don't torture me anymore." The man begged, obviously he had completely lost his spine.
"You're still a desperado like this. Do you have anything else to say? If not, take him out and give him a solution." After confirming that the information was correct, Zhuang Wen sighed and waved his hand.
"Thank you, thank you so much... I don't want to die..." He thanked him first, then was dragged out by He Jung, and the prisoner howled again.
"Then what else do you have to explain?" He Jung's voice was no longer audible, and finally fell silent.
"Five hundred cavalry broke into the imperial city, she is worthy of it." Zhuang Xun could no longer hear the words of the captive behind him, and he could only lament Li Rusi's fierceness.
"It's too tiger. The reputation of "killing a tiger with three punches" is well-deserved. But Lang Jun, it's time to think about how to break the situation. Although He Xingxing has repelled the first wave of the opponent's attack, the opponent has already begun to assemble the next wave of troops. This is not a suitable place. Stay for a long time." Following Zhuang Xun's words, Si Qin Mi first praised Li Rusi for her fierceness, and then made suggestions.
"But where are we going?" Zhuang Xun also felt that it made sense, but the war was in chaos and he didn't know where to go.
"You forgot, Mrs. Jiang." Si Qinmi revealed the person in his dream with one word, and Zhuang Xun suddenly realized.
"It wouldn't be good to bring the military disaster here," Zhuang Xun said hesitantly.
"Mrs. Jiang's place is absolutely safe. There are many guards, and there seems to be some magical magic from the immortal family. As long as you can hide with her and seek her protection, you will be safe tonight at least." Si Qinmi continued, as if to give Zhuang Xun firm confidence.
"Censor, why are you hesitating at this time? You are waiting for death here, why not go out and take a gamble." The officials also suggested.
"Okay, while we are still gathering people for the second attack, let's go find Mrs. Jiang." As for whether Mrs. Jiang is willing to help him, she should be willing.
I no longer care about the question of whether to be ashamed or not. Human life is important. Anyway, this is not the first time I beg Mrs. Jiang.
"It's also my fault for letting Ru Si take away all the guards." Zhuang Wen sighed.
"Just be more considerate next time. Don't neglect yourself because you care about others. I didn't expect this. I am also at fault. But since it has already happened, don't worry about it. Don't tell your sister in the future. She will Feel guilty, go change your clothes, Mr. Wang, you are not easy to move in this state." Si Qinmi was very responsible and took the initiative to take the blame.
"It's not you, it's me. Forget it. As you said, learn from failure and grow. I'm going to change clothes first." Zhuang Xun just sighed. Thinking about it carefully, the decision he made at that time was It comes from my heart, and there is really no need to regret it now. Solving the problem and avoiding the disaster is what I should think about now, not the time to hold accountable.
Upon hearing this, the officials also went to change their clothes.
Zhuang Xun changed the groom's clothes into light casual clothes and returned to the meeting room. Si Qinmi also led He Tan out. He Tan put on a velvet hat and put on a relatively masculine velvet coat. After all, the weather was cold.
"Benefactor, the enemy's second batch of attacks is coming. The second batch of attackers did not adopt a comprehensive encirclement method. They just advanced along the road in the courtyard. The opponent is very anxious now. The opponent's methods are cruel. Everyone in the mansion will be killed. We can't be trapped here, otherwise everyone except the benefactor will die." He Jung brought bad news.
He couldn't use the methods of immortals to deal with mortals. He also felt a little headache. He was not an immortal body. In essence, he was still a mortal. He had not transformed into a true immortal. He would be exhausted after killing too many people. There were evil obstacles to killing people with immortal skills, so he didn't kill many. He himself was obsessed with it.
Immortal magic is useless against high-ranking officials like Zhuang Xun, otherwise He Jung would have exposed his identity and taken these people away with a flying sword.
"The target is me, just hand me over." Zhuang Xun looked at the group of people in the room and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Lang, don't say such nonsense. The other party didn't use bows and arrows or other tools. They were just afraid of hurting you. If you are handed over, the other party will definitely eliminate the root cause."
Sensing that the officials were ready to make a move, Si Qinmi immediately blocked the loophole that Zhuang Xun had used to try to calm down the surrender faction. Huanghuang's beautiful eyes looked at Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun finally understood that sacrificing himself was not an option.
"They arrested you to threaten Sister Li to surrender. Even if Sister Li surrenders, they will not guarantee your safety, Mr. Lang. You will die and the only option is to fight to the death." Si Qin Mi's words blocked the surrender faction's words.
"Then can we find a breakout point?" Zhuang Xun frowned, how could it come so fast.
"There are several ways out, so He Jun suggested dividing the troops into two routes, one to attract people to besiege, and the other to allow other adults and women to leave." He Jung suggested.
"Okay, let's go in two ways, one to attract people, and the other to transfer the women. Madam, you will escort them with guards. Sister Dong and the others will take other roads. He Jung and I will set traps to attract people. After all, the target is me." He glanced at Dong. Zhuang Xun made a quick decision and made the decision to act as bait without the slightest resistance.
His determination made Dong, who was hanging his head and worried, swallow what he wanted to say.
"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, so it would be better for someone to wear cloud-patterned gold armor and pretend to be the husband to attract people. Congratulate Xingxing for his martial arts skills and delay the time. The husband will follow me and leave by a side door." Si Qinmi said That would be called a ruthless person.
"Madam is right, you are thoughtful. My benefactor, please lend me the cloud-patterned golden armor." After hearing this, He Jung immediately agreed, as if he didn't care that he had become a bait.
Zhuang Xun was stunned, not knowing what to say. He Jung actually accepted such an obvious matter of death and life.
"He Jung, you..." Zhuang Xun felt a sense of shame, sacrificing other people's lives to save his own.
"Congratulations on your loyalty..."
"It's not too late, the censor must make a decision early..."
The officials urged, seeing that Zhuang Xun had a tendency to change his mind, they immediately persuaded him.
"That'll be it." When he wasn't being pretentious, Zhuang Xun nodded in agreement.
He Jung led seventy or eighty people, broke out of the deliberately reserved escape route, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Zhuang Xun is running away!"
It was deliberately left as a way to survive. Soon, hundreds of people rushed out from all directions, and the trend continued to increase.
He Jung's three-foot green blade was like an ice-breaking prow in his hand, and those in front of him were like broken ice, and everyone died.
However, there are more and more people like this, and people are gathering around. He Jung is strong, but the guards of the mansion are weak. Number 780 was quickly reduced to number 670, and it was found that He Jung was a tough guy. If you chew, focus your attack on the accompanying guards.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they broke through the simple blockade and a group of officials rushed out. Several officials ran very fast, grabbed the carriage and ran away. Seeing the officials running away, a dozen guards grabbed the horses themselves and ran away. Zhuang Xun Helping Mrs. Dong, she took a step slower, only a broken carriage was left.
Angry, he wrote down the list of these people in his mind, and Zhuang Xun thought about what to do.
The first thing is to help Dong get on the horse, but with Dong's appearance, it is difficult to get on the cart, let alone mount the horse.
Time passed by every second.
The guards in the front yard who were serving as bait couldn't bear the casualties, and saw more and more of their companions die.
"I am not Zhuang Xun, I am not Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun is still in the mansion. My companions can all testify for me that I am not Zhuang Xun." The man pretending to be Zhuang Xun and wearing golden armor shouted.
After hearing his words, the encirclement and suppression people paused for a few seconds. He Jung secretly screamed, and glanced at the group of guards who had lost their will to fight. He stopped protecting them and found a weak gap to rush out.
Seeing He Jung's movements, the group of people didn't dare to stop him, even though they could. They seemed to be afraid of being killed, so they hurriedly gave up their position.
The commander also understood that what this man said was right, and then waved his hand. Now without He Jung's protection and no one to protect, the guards who had lost the will to fight were all strangled to death.
"Go and find Zhuang Xun." Knowing that he had fallen into a trap, the conductor said angrily.
On the other side, Zhuang Xun and others found a frame that was about to be scrapped. They simply put it on the horse and helped Dong sit on it.
The car didn't dare to drive too fast for fear of falling apart, and Zhuang Xun's mood became increasingly depressed.
The sound of horse hooves caught up from behind and stopped the carriage. They were the rebels attacking the mansion.
"Dayu Supervisor and Censor Zhuang Xun is here. Don't you want me to order an order to stop the attack by my subordinates?" Zhuang Xun heard a voice that was somewhat similar to his own.
He Tan, who had been silent all this time, made a male voice. She untied her velvet sweater, took off her velvet hat, tied up her hair and wore a crown. Underneath was a yellow dragon python robe. She was a handsome young man with a female look.
It turned out that Si Qin Mi brought He Tan to change into this kind of clothes. The last thing He Jung said as a prisoner was that these Youguo people heard rumors and thought that Zhuang Xun was male, female, fair-skinned and short, so Si Qin Mi simply made it. A rumored stand-in for Zhuang Xun.
"No, I am Zhuang Xun..." Zhuang Xun probably understood what was going on after hearing this, and wanted to take over the words, but Dong grabbed Zhuang Xun's hand.
"I'm afraid." Tears burst out from the corners of the lady's eyes, her face looked miserable, and she held Zhuang Xun's hand tightly.
"Langjun." Si Qinmi, who was in charge of driving, shouted to He Tan.
"Brother-in-law, please stop talking. I know you are worried that your sister's child has no father." He Tan glanced at Zhuang Xun coldly, a bit arrogant, and a bit pleading in his eyes.
There was no doubt that he was the leader. He had a python robe, a man's body and a woman's appearance, a short stature, and his appearance and figure were all consistent with the rumors. He also admitted his identity, who was it not Zhuang Xun, and completely ignored the real Zhuang Xun's speech. .
Mrs. Dong was about to crush Zhuang Xun's hand, and her eyes were pleading. Don't let her down, don't let her kindness down. Mother and daughter are exactly the same. What else did Zhuang Xun want to say? When he touched this look, his words Freezing in place.
"Then I'll bother the censor." The man on the horse who seemed to be the leader said.
"I can go with you, but I have to let my wife and concubines leave." He Tan showed a strong face, pulled out his sword, and hung it on his neck.
"As long as the censor is willing to wait with me, that's natural." The leader agreed.
"I want you to escort them to Madam Gaoming's Mansion." He Tan raised his face as if he wanted the leader to understand even in the dark.
"This?" The leader hesitated.
"Do you think I will believe that you will really let them go? Shouldn't you release them first and then arrest them?" He Tan said coldly, with a bit of official air.
"Okay!" The leader agreed and looked at the cold sword in He Tan's hand, calculating the pros and cons.
But before they had even taken two steps, they encountered a group of people. The flag looked like it was Mrs. Jiang's caravan escort.
"You guys go over and see if anyone familiar is there?" He Tan issued the order and was with Siqin Mi. She learned etiquette better than Zhuang Xun and she was more talented.
Zhuang Xun looked three times and entered the team and found Lan Qiu. Zhuang Xun was about to ask her to save He Tan in a hurry.
"You have been deceived." The girl let out a wild female voice, her suppression bursting out, and she slashed at the leader with her sword, with no regard for life or death, and a determined look on her face.
The leader was shocked. His martial arts skills could not be matched by the girl's. He deflected the girl's chop and the tip of his spear pierced the girl's chest.
Being so unafraid of death, now they had no one to rely on. They were originally guarding "Zhuang Xun" and were not afraid of anyone taking action.
"Go kill them." Lan Qiu ordered, and several people fled in panic.
But Zhuang Xun no longer cared and rushed to the girl's side.
"Doctor, doctor, is there a doctor..." He blocked the bleeding wound on He Tan's chest with his hand.
"Don't bother, ask brother, now the three lives my family owes you have been repaid." He Tan smiled and felt a little relaxed.
"What three lives, don't talk, don't talk... the blood flow will speed up." Zhuang Xun was in a hurry and at a loss. He tore off his clothes and planned to bandage He Tan. He Tan's pupils were confused and he was smiling.
"I have to say that I really hate Brother Xun. Now I can say it in front of you, and no one will accuse me. I already knew about your bad behavior. Ahem, it's very important, right..." The tone changed. He was weak, and the corners of his mouth held the blood foam spit out from his lungs.
"Don't talk, don't talk. Why are you so stupid? The other party has no intention of killing you yet..." Seeing his silly sister's life force draining away, Zhuang Xun felt powerless, but he couldn't help but blame him, as if he was repenting.
"It's very important, isn't it? What my father did in the palace is very important. It's very important to everyone. Whether it's me or Brother Xun, you can threaten him. I don't want you to fall short of your achievements, ahem..."
"I forgive you, Brother Xun...actually..." Her pupils dilated, and she wanted to speak, but she couldn't.
