The sound of killing in the Hou Mansion was loud. Xiang Shaolong successfully took Zhu Ji out and handed him over to Wu Zhuo, saying: "You go with your wife to find the prince. After you find the prince, take away his adoptive parents with him."
He was really afraid that Zhu Ji would find it troublesome, so he directly ordered them to kill Zhang Li and his wife. Zhang Li and his wife have known him for a long time and respect him very much. They cannot bear to be harmed by them.
So he told Wu Zhuo: "The poor couple have been kind to the prince. If anything goes wrong, the prince will be resentful in the future, so we must protect them." He also said this to Zhu Ji, Wu Zhuo He took ten followers to protect Zhu Ji and left.
Xiang Shaolong did not go with them, but observed the battle situation around the Hou Mansion.
The reason why the rescue plan was implemented so smoothly was because these one hundred soldiers who risked their lives had no backup and did not retreat until a large number of guards arrived. They all died in battle and no one survived.
Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly, the saying "one general can make a thousand bones wither" is nothing more than this. In the special forces, I also carried out many lone missions without backup. I was lucky enough to survive, but some of my comrades unfortunately died. These one hundred dead soldiers were performing a desperate mission, because the order they received was to fight until death, and there was no order to retreat at all.
Xiang Shaolong looked up at the sky. It was already bright. The sound of killings in the Hou Mansion all night made the air tense. He thought to himself: "Zhu Ji and her son should have returned to Wujiapu by now and left through the tunnel." Bar."
Xiang Shaolong wants to return to Wu Mansion to hear the news and see if Zhao Mu is dead. I went to Zhang Li's house on the way, but the building was empty. The house was in a mess, and it looked like someone had left in a hurry.
When Xiang Shaolong returned to Wujiapu, Zhu Ji, mother and son had already left HD through the tunnel under the protection of Wu Zhuo.
Xiang Shaolong sat with Wu Yingyuan and Wu Shiluo, waiting for news to come back from outside.
Wu Yingyuan asked: "Shaolong, what should we do next?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Just wait for the news. No one will doubt the Wu family now. We can evacuate calmly and continue to evacuate the Wu family. The Wu family must also strengthen its defense."
The news finally came that Zhao Mu was really lucky and was fine. It's true that "good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years."
HD The whole city was under martial law and there was a massive search. King Zhao summoned all important ministers to discuss matters. Even businessmen like Wushi Luo were summoned.
Everyone discussed it all day long, but to no avail. A group of unknown people committed an assassination. There were many people with this kind of strength in HD. There were no marks on the dead soldiers, and they were all killed in battle.
From a profit perspective, it is hard to see who would benefit from Zhao Mu's death, although many people wanted him to die; if it was a vendetta, then Zhao Mu had so many enemies that it would be impossible to investigate.
Although the Houfu suffered heavy losses during the whole process, only Zhu Ji was missing. But Zhao Mu didn't dare to mention it, because he didn't tell anyone about the transfer of Zhu Ji's mother and son, and King Zhao didn't know about it, and the hostage was not lost. He didn't think anyone rescued Zhu Ji, but said she took advantage of the chaos and escaped on her own. . She is a weak woman, and she does not dare to reveal her identity at will. How can she escape back to Xianyang. Even if she really can't be found, just say that she died of illness. Anyway, the proton is in hand.
What Zhao Mu is really worried about is that these assassins are from the Chu State. Li Yuan may not have such strength. If it is his father, it will be bad. But he didn't dare to mention this possibility, so he could only secretly send people to Chu State to find out the news.
Zhao Mu asked Xiang Shaolong to meet.
When Xiang Shaolong arrived at the Hou Mansion, he could see traces of fighting everywhere. There seemed to be the smell of blood in the air, and he couldn't help but lament for the hundred dead soldiers.
Zhao Mu asked: "Shaolong, what do you think of this assassination?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Who does the Marquis think is the most likely?"
Zhao Mu said: "I have no clue."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "How are Zhu Ji, mother and son?"
Zhao Mu said: "Zhu Ji is lost."
Xiang Shaolong looked surprised: "Lost? Could it be Lu Buwei who did it?"
Zhao Mu said: "No, no one knows that Zhu Ji is in the Hou Mansion. Besides, the hostage is still there, so she should have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped by herself. What I am worried about is the people from Chu State. Can Li Yuan have such strength?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Probably not, but now he has the trust of your Majesty and his strength has increased rapidly. I haven't heard from him for a long time."
Zhao Mu said: "I will check for news about Chu State, and you can help me check it through your own channels."
Xiang Shaolong nodded in agreement.
Zhao Mu searched for Xiang Shaolong but didn't get any useful information, but his suspicions about Chu State grew in his heart.
The Wu family is carrying out personnel and asset transfers in an orderly manner. Shu'er and Wu Tingfang have also left. The only important figures in Wujiapu are Wu Shiluo and Wu Yingyuan. Xiang Shaolong, Wu Yingyuan and Wu Shiluo also breathed a sigh of relief after finally receiving the news that Zhu Ji and her son had arrived in Xianyang.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Now that our Wu family is safe, Master, we can leave."
Wu Shiluo said: "I will immediately attract pursuers as soon as I leave. You are young, so go ahead. As long as I am here, I will not arouse suspicion. Once discovered, I can block the pursuers in Wujiapu." , I can buy you some time. I walked through the Wu family's tunnel once when I was young, and I don't want to leave again. I'm old and can no longer withstand the pursuit of soldiers."
When Xiang Shaolong heard what Wu Shiluo said, he couldn't help but respect him.
Wu Yingyuan was worried and said: "How can you leave your father alone? We want to go together."
Wu Shiluo said: "Nonsense, how can I bear the life of escape at my age? You are still young and have a lot of future."
He turned to Xiang Shaolong and said, "Shaolong, I have one more thing to ask you. I plan to betroth Tingfang to you. What do you think?"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned, why did he mention this at this time? He turned his head and glanced at Wu Yingyuan, who said: "This is what I meant too."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Is the eldest lady willing?"
Wu Yingyuan said: "Fang'er has been interested in you for a long time, and now he is very close to Shu'er, so I want to betroth him to you. Shaolong, my son Tingwei is very mediocre, and the future of the Wu family depends on you." ah!"
Xiang Shaolong knew that he had gained not only Wu Tingfang, but also all the power of the Wu family. He really gained both man and wealth, and said: "Thank you Master and Young Master for your love, Young Master will definitely live up to Fang'er."
Wu Shiluo smiled and said, "I can't wait until you two get married. Please change your name and call me grandpa now and let me hear it."
Xiang Shaolong said loudly: "Grandpa, please pay homage to your grandson."
Wu Shi was content with his old age and laughed loudly, saying: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Young Master, please get up quickly."
Wu Yingyuan also smiled, but he became anxious when he thought that Wu Shiluo refused to leave.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong couldn't let Wu Shiluo stay alone, and said: "Grandpa, please evacuate with your father-in-law. Shaolong will stay here to block the pursuers and prevent them from chasing you. You don't have to go by boat." If you are tired, just treat it as a sightseeing tour."
Wu Shiluo said: "I just entrusted Fang'er to you, how could you take risks? You are still young, there is no need to argue with me anymore."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Since I have the tunnel, it is not difficult for me to leave HD and escape to Xianyang with my own ability. Moreover, the current situation is not out of my control. Zhao Mu has more leverage in my hands. I can make him He doesn't dare to chase us. Grandpa can just relax and enjoy the sights. Maybe I will arrive in Xianyang first and wait for you, Grandpa. Wouldn't it be good for Grandpa to preside over my wedding to Fang'er then? "
Wu Shi and his son couldn't help but wonder when they heard what he said was so confident. Wu Shiluo asked, "What information do you have about Zhao Mu?"
Xiang Shaolong no longer needed to hide anything at this time and said, "Zhao Mu is the son of Chunshen Lord Huang Xie."
The Wushi father and son were shocked. This news was so shocking. No wonder he was sure of catching Zhao Mu.
Wu Shiluo said: "Okay. Then I will evacuate first. See you in Xianyang."
When Wu Yingyuan saw that Wu Shiluo agreed to leave, he was overjoyed. He quickly organized people and left with Wu Shiluo.
Xiang Shaolong took over the command of Wujiabao and trained his troops all day long, waiting to snipe the pursuers if they were discovered.
Zhao Mu finally waited for the news from Chu Kingdom, news that shocked him extremely: Xiang Shaolong was not from Chunshen Lord at all.
This news made him panic. When he went to check on Xiang Shaolong, he found that all the important people in Wujiabao had disappeared. He knew that he had been tricked by Xiang Shaolong, but now he did not dare to act rashly. The fact that Xiang Shaolong knew his identity made him feel like he was in trouble. He had to know how Xiang Shaolong knew it. He did not directly send troops to Wujiabao, but invited Xiang Shaolong to the Marquis Mansion. This time, guards were buried around him, preparing to kill Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong is a very angry person. He felt something was wrong as soon as he entered Zhao Mu's house. Zhao Mu's smile was unnatural. It seemed that his identity was exposed.
But Xiang Shaolong still calmly came to the opposite side of Zhao Mu and said, "Master Hou, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhao Mu said: "You are not from my father at all. The people of the Wu family have been transferred away. It seems that everything happened was done by your Wu family. You just wanted to rescue Zhu Ji and her son, but you didn't rescue the proton, so that's okay. One move is missing."
Xiang Shaolong said: "That proton is fake. The one you have imprisoned since childhood was not the real proton. The real proton has been fostered in a poor family in HD. Now Zhu Ji and her son have arrived in Xianyang."
Zhao Mu said bitterly: "What a good plan. How did you know my identity?" This was what he cared about most.
Xiang Shaolong said: "How I know is not important. What is important is that I already know it. It will be too late for you to chase after the Wu family."
Zhao Mu said with a ferocious smile: "Although everyone from the Wu family is gone, you are still here. Killing you can relieve the hatred in my heart."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Kill me and your secret will be known to the whole world."
Zhao Mu said: "You have no evidence to prove that what you said is true."
Xiang Shaolong said: "I have no evidence. If I had evidence, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to assassinate and save people, risking the lives of hundreds of elite dead soldiers. If I had evidence, wouldn't it be better to directly threaten you to save people?" But Lord Marquis, this kind of thing does not require evidence. As long as King Zhao has doubts in his heart, Lord Marquis’s previous efforts will be in vain, and he may even lose the support of Chu State."
