The nephew of the Wu family got a small official position in the court with the help of Concubine Wu, and later he worked as a slave to Lord Wu. Later, when the Wu family was executed, he escaped alone. In order to take revenge, he contacted the Nanyi people and secretly brought them in. Beijing.
Lu Yan's face was full of anger, and he was about to take action while holding the sword.
He had been on the battlefield for many years and hated the Nanyi people deeply.
Just when he was about to rush forward, Zhou Ruiyuan pulled him back. ?.?????.ℂ??
Then, Zhou Zhao's voice suddenly came from outside the inn, "Brother, uncle! It's great that you guys are in there!"
Lu Yan was startled and quickly looked over. He saw Zhou Zhao wearing armor and riding a horse, holding a spear in his hand, and there were rows and rows of soldiers standing beside him.
He looked at Zhou Ruiyuan in confusion.
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly: "Zhao'er arrived outside the capital a month ago. I sent people to take them to a small village to cleanse themselves from the dust. I only let him into the capital today."
Zhou Zhao was kept outside the city to prevent ministers from disobeying him and rebelling.
Unexpectedly, there were Nanyi people in Huicheng, so he had to recruit him back in advance.
A few days ago, Zhou Ruiyuan learned from spies that there were Nanyi people in the city. He made an agreement with Du Wanchun in advance that if something strange happened one day, he would immediately send a message to Zhou Zhao and let him enter the city.
When Du Wanchun learned that Zhou Ruiyuan and Lu Yan were looking for the emperor, he followed Miss Mo anxiously to the inn to look for them. In fact, he had already left a letter to Hai Qingyang, asking him and Mr. Yuan to bring Zhou Zhao.
As for Zhou Zhao, who had eyes and ears in the city, he immediately rushed to the city after receiving the news from Du Wanchun. After entering the city gate, he heard something strange happened in the restaurant. Without thinking much, he immediately sent troops to surround the restaurant.
When they surrounded the inn, Du Wanchun and Miss Mo's carriage also stopped at the door of the inn.
Miss Mo strode down from the carriage with a panic look on her face, "Wan Chun, we seem to be late. His Highness and the general have been held hostage in the inn."
Du Wanchun walked slowly to his side and looked up: "Rui Yuan could follow them upstairs because he must have had an idea. Let's wait for now."
Miss Mo nodded, but the sadness on her face was still there.
In the restaurant, the Nanyi people looked at the soldiers outside and immediately panicked.
Even though they came with the intention of dying before taking action, they still couldn't stop being afraid when it really happened.
Zhou Ruiyuan caught the panic on their faces and said slowly: "I will give you a chance. If you surrender now, I will spare your lives."
The black-bearded man sneered, "The prince is trying to trick us into thinking we are fools."
"We came here today with no intention of returning alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held the big knife in his hand and swung it towards Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan stepped back, took out a soft sword from his waist, and stabbed the black-bearded man unexpectedly.
The black-bearded man was hit by a sword on his shoulder and cried out in pain.
Lu Yan flew forward and swung a shot at them, then protected Zhou Ruiyuan behind him.
Blackbeard held the machete, gritted his teeth and swung it at Zhou Ruiyuan again. While slashing, he shouted: "Quick, pour oil on me and set me on fire."
The other Nanyi people immediately set off to carry the oil drums.
At this moment, Zhou Zhao had already rushed up with his men. He took out his bow and arrow and fired an arrow at the Nanyi people dragging the oil drum.
With a whooshing sound, the arrow passed directly through the Nanyi man's chest.
The black-bearded man was startled. When he turned his head to look, Zhou Zhao fired another arrow at him.
As soon as the arrow flew, a group of soldiers rushed in and knocked down all the Nanyi people.
Lu Yan took advantage of the situation and protected Zhou Ruiyuan as he retreated.
Zhou Zhao very quickly knocked the black-bearded man to the ground, stepped on his back, and said with a mocking smile: "I didn't kill you on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that I could still pick up the slack here. The king of your country is still here." You are so arrogant, I sent you just to assassinate the prince."
"wishful thinking!"
The black-bearded man curled up and said nothing, as if he had calmed down.
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhao'er, fortunately you arrived in time."
Zhou Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be afraid. Big brother knows what's appropriate, otherwise we wouldn't be able to catch them alive."
As he spoke, he ordered to the soldiers behind him: "Tie them up tightly, don't let them bite their tongues and commit suicide."
"Yes, General."
The soldiers tied up the strong man with a black beard and stuffed his mouth.
