Chapter 423: The Zhu familys secret passage appears
Zhu Lingshi looked at Liu Yu with a smile: "Master, do you have a girl you like?"
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then kicked Zhu Lingshi angrily, and said gently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't interfere with Master's affairs."
Zhu Chaoshi also showed a bad smile: "We all heard it. You have been calling a woman's name, it seems to be Miaoyin, and you said don't leave me. Is that your wife?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I haven't married yet, so where can I find a wife? But..., did I really say the wonderful sound?"
The second young master of the Zhu family looked at each other and nodded in unison. Liu Yu sighed: "They say that you have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night. It's true. Okay, you two boys, listen up, Miaoyin is my fiancée
, maybe after this war against Qin, I will go back to Jingkou to get married. But please don’t make any noise about it."
Zhu Lingshi laughed: "Do we still need to announce it? In fact, Master, almost everyone in the world knows that you are going to marry Miss Wang."
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "What, no one knows?"
Zhu Chaoshi had a bad smile on his face: "Just like the legend of you breaking the Hu in Junchuan, this kind of thing has disappeared. They say that giving birth to a child should be like Liu Jinnu, who has made hundreds of military exploits and married a beautiful girl.
The farmers in Jingkou also have spring. With the Bailiansu iron sword in their hands, it is not a dream to win the appreciation of a noble family and reach the pinnacle of life."
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "How did this happen? How come I don't know about it at all?"
Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "The high-ranking families in this family have always only intermarryed within themselves. Over the years, you are probably the first one who has been able to marry a noble daughter from a high-ranking family through your own hard work. How could such an inspiring thing not spread?"
What about Kailai? The reason why we brothers admired you so much before we met Master is probably because your experience is so legendary."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Listen up, you two boys. I don't care what others say, but you can't. I don't want to hear you discuss this matter again in the future. Of course, if I get married, I will invite you.
, but that depends on whether you can come to the wedding."
Zhu Chaoshi sighed and his eyes became lonely: "You don't need to be reminded by Master, my disciple also knows that we are still guilty. Maybe after guarding the city, we have to pay for our uncle's life."
Liu Yu shook his head and patted the two of them on the shoulders: "Don't be discouraged. It was an unintentional mistake and you are young. The crime is not punishable by death. However, even if it is a capital crime, as long as you make a contribution in defending the city, you can be pardoned."
.You have performed very well in defending the city this time. As long as you persist until the day when the siege is relieved, you will definitely be rewarded with good results."
The two brothers suddenly became energetic again, looked at each other, looked at Liu Yu, and said with a smile: "We will obey Master's arrangements in everything!"
Liu Yu nodded and said seriously: "I have always had nightmares in the past two days, dreaming that the city will be lost. This feels really bad. Now I want to ask you, does your Zhu family have access to the outside of the city?
A secret escape route?”
Zhu Lingshi's eyes widened in surprise: "Master, what do you mean by this? How could Shouchun City fall? You fought so well, but reinforcements are coming again. Even if the Qin army comes in the millions, there will be no more
What can be done?”
Liu Yu curled his lips: "As a general, before you think about victory, you must first think about defeat. Shouchun City is not invulnerable, and the reinforcements outside the city may not be able to rescue us with all their strength. If we cannot hold it, I must consider evacuating.
thing."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded, stood up with Zhu Lingshi, and walked to a secluded corner at the top of the city. Liu Yu followed him, looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no one within twenty steps, he said:
"It's okay to say it."
Zhu Lingshi lowered his voice and said: "There is a secret way. When Yuan Zhen was in Shouchun and rebelled, his two uncles strongly advised him and asked my father to stay at home before leaving, saying it was a stick of incense.
If he doesn't get back, ask him to take this secret tunnel out of the city immediately. That's what my father did and saved his life. That tunnel was left behind when our Zhu family built a house here. There are always more generals.
I am so cautious that if things go wrong, I will still fight my way out of the encirclement."
Liu Yu nodded: "How many people can leave? Where is the exit?"
Zhu Lingshi shook his head: "I don't know, we haven't traveled there either. My father also told us this secret before leaving this time. He said that if Shouchun fell, he would tell us to escape home and leave."
This secret path leads out of the city, Master, do you really want to use this?"
Liu Yu sighed: "It sounds like we can only leave a few people, or a dozen people at most. If Shouchun City is not protected, you brothers will have to take General Xu, Hu Changshi, and Building Master Mu with them."
Important people evacuate from the tunnel, I will buy time for you."
Zhu Lingshi's expression changed: "Master, aren't you leaving?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I want everyone to stay and defend the city, how can I leave? No matter what, as long as I live, I will live and die with Shouchun. This is my destiny. If I fail this time, I will not be able to leave after I go back."
He will be regarded as a coward and a deserter. There will be no hope for him anymore. It is better to die here."
Zhu Chaoshi blinked his eyes: "When it comes to rescuing General Xu, it's understandable for important figures like Hu Changshi, but the leader of the building, Mu, doesn't have a higher status than you. Why do you think he is important?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and shook his head: "There are some things you don't need to know for the time being. It's just that the identity of this Mu Building Master is extraordinary, and it may even affect the outcome of our entire Qin-Jin war. So, even if everyone dies,
Yes, he has to live."
Zhu Lingshi nodded and said seriously: "Master said, I will definitely do it. Don't worry. However, I think this is unlikely to happen. I would not believe it even to death, with you in charge.
Shouchun City will fall."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "This is just a precaution. Okay, you can go. I want to be alone for a while."
The Zhu brothers bowed and retreated. Liu Yu's eyes looked at the distant sky. It was already dawn, and there was already a hint of haze on the horizon. Liu Yu did not look back and said softly: "Brother Murong, you can come out now."
Under the city wall, a black figure jumped down. With a flick of his wrist, a claw hook fell into his sleeve and disappeared. He was wearing black night clothes, only revealing a pair of shining eyes outside. When he climbed up the city
After turning his head, he pulled off the scarf on his face, revealing Murong Nan's dull face: "How did you know I was there?"
