"It's none of my business!" Xu Mu's tense face was slightly hot, and he hurriedly took out the hand that He Qizhou had held at some point.
"If you have worries in your heart, people will become stronger." He Qizhou looked at his empty left hand and said bitterly.
"You brat, stop being so pretentious and tell me about the encounter with the assassin." Li Jichen said angrily. Although their voices were very low, they couldn't escape his ears.
"Okay." He Qizhou began to talk about the situation when he was assassinated. The beginning was as good as what Moran said. When talking about the last two moves, He Qizhou said: "I don't want to risk jumping off the cliff, but I know that there are not many survivors.
If possible, he forced out two moves, preparing to trade his life for injury. The assassin finally showed his true ability. Not only did he easily neutralize my moves, but he also hit me hard. I can definitely neutralize the two moves I made.
It's the Kung Fu of the Jinling School, and it was Yunmen's moves that hurt me! The moves are all very pure."
"Although it doesn't mean anything, at least it is certain that he is not from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. I need to find a way to inform your master. He may have gone to the Northern Zhou Dynasty again." Li Jichen said.
"I'll talk to Lingyue Jijiu later," He Qizhou said.
"What happened next?" Xu Mu asked.
"I fell faster than the assassin. I pretended to be dead in mid-air. I slowly straightened my body and put my feet and head into the water. A few bones were probably broken at that time. The water was really deep. After sinking to the bottom,
, the person floated to the ground uncontrollably, and suddenly he was spinning rapidly and being swept downstream..." He Qizhou stopped mid-sentence.
Zhang Mufeng saw his sister's worried look and shouted, "You should speak up quickly and stop showing off."
"Okay, aren't I just recalling the situation at that time? I was swept downstream by the current, and kept hitting the boulders in the water. When I saw that I was about to surface, I hurriedly inserted my dagger into the underwater rocks with one hand, and then thought of a way.
He stepped firmly on the bottom of the water and did not come out of the water. The assassin just stayed on the water and seemed to be throwing stones into the water. He is in the wind control realm! If he is thrown, he is finished."
"Did you hit it?" Xiaoxue asked.
"No, that guy should have thrown me into the whirlpool where I fell into the water, but I didn't dare to come up for fear that the assassin would still stay on the surface, so I kept holding my breath, but then I couldn't hold it in any longer and swallowed a big
The saliva and bubbles are popping up..."
"Why didn't you say it again? What happened next? Don't blame me for being rude if you do this again!" Xiao Ping shouted angrily from the car.
"Can't I just take a breather? Then of course I swam ashore, and then I found that my ankle was injured, my shoulder bone, and my ribs were all broken. I didn't dare to stop where I was, and the water hid upstream... It took me nearly
It took two months to find the official road...I was ill for a long time in Shiqu Town...When I heard the news about Tu Yuhun's rebellion and Xiaoxue's marriage, I came back with the flies from Shu." He Qizhou stopped being sleazy.
, finally finished telling his story before leaving the city.
At the west gate of Kuocheng, after gathering the troops, Lu Zhenyao announced that he would set off a quarter of an hour early. Time was in a hurry. Most of the people just wore leather armor used for practicing martial arts. Apart from the goggles, there was not much protection, and there were also many weapons.
So. But everyone is skilled in martial arts, and their combat power is still much higher than that of ordinary cavalry.
In addition to those who had just returned from the battle with Bei Yiyi to recuperate, almost all the students from the Arms Academy were out. He Qizhou had many more friends around him. Of course, more people gathered around Jiang Di, except for the people from the Arms Academy.
In addition, Jiang Di also had many people from the Fourth School under his command, and even brought thirty or forty overt and covert guards. Even Su Tuo from the Criminal Department was among them.
The team was temporarily divided into three battalions, and Jiang Di actually led one battalion as the commander. The 300 men under him were the best in terms of equipment and horses.
Lu Zhenyao revealed privately that this was a greeting from the emperor in the middle of the night, asking Jiang Di to practice a bit, but Jiang Di was really quite capable. He had collected almost all the horses and ordnance in half a day, and he also had several carts of grain and grass with him.
All vehicles were pulled by two horses, so the marching speed was extremely fast. However, compared to the three-day rush back to Beijing, in He Qizhou's opinion, this speed was not much different from wandering around, which made him have to stand in front of him several times.
He fell asleep immediately. Fortunately, Xu Mu next to him would poke himself from time to time, otherwise he would fall and have a few more scars on his forehead.
Even after eating and sleeping, they only had two hours of rest a day. The team crossed Chang'an in two days and arrived in Lanzhou in four and a half days. Along the way, Wuchasi also gathered 500 people to form a battalion. Lu Zhenyao's men had already
There are more than 1,100 riders.
According to Zhang Zhiren's plan, the cavalry will join the battle first, and then nearly 10,000 infantrymen will rush on foot. Lu Zhenyao's team will separate the weaker Wuchasi battalion to protect the 10,000-person infantry marching westward, requiring ten days.
Arrive at Xining Royal City within a short period of time.
Lu Zhenyao arrived at Lanzhou a little early. He thought he would have to wait several hours for the cavalry from Ganzhou. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiren had already led his army to set off yesterday evening, taking away 10,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry from Lanzhou.
It turned out that when the Luoyang Yiqi arrived in Ganzhou, Jincheng had already reached the news a day earlier. After some debate at the Ganzhou camp, Mr. Zhang finally made the decision and immediately sent Wanqi stationed in Ganzhou to relieve the troops.
Infantry reinforcements from Lanzhou and Longnan were recruited, so when Zhang Zhiren arrived in Lanzhou, the team had almost been assembled, just in time to send out troops. Li Ruogu, accompanied by the tribute students from Tianshan, rushed to Suzhou directly with military orders and mobilized his own troops
The elite returned to quell the rebellion.
Lu Zhenyao did not dare to delay. After having dinner and feeding the horses, he chased towards Longnan overnight.
Xu Qinghan was deported to Ganzhou, the base camp of the Zhang family, so he no longer followed the army and moved to the northwest, with his family members traveling with him. There was a message from the old man of the Zhang family in Lanzhou City, and the old man specifically stated that as long as the Xu family passed through,
, they all went to Ganzhou first, because he was dying and was going to be pissed to death. In the end, he even said, if He Qizhou is in the team, let him come here too!
Therefore, He Qizhou could only follow Xu Muxue's family and transfer to Ganzhou. Li Jichen was also traveling with him, and Mo Lan followed Lu Zhenyao to the southwest.
He Qizhou really wanted to break the siege of Xining, but he also knew that he couldn't exert much power now. The consumption of those three days was no less than a life-and-death struggle, and he could only use 30% of his power at most.
Taking the old road again, without the drag of Rhubarb, the speed was much faster. We arrived in Ganzhou in two days. When we passed through Xihe County, we didn't meet Zhang Scale and learned that he had been promoted to the position of magistrate of the state capital. On the way, we also
We met the convoy of the Anxi Escort Bureau, but there were no acquaintances inside. The people along the way still looked so poor. Years of wars were constantly squeezing the people's power.
The Zhang family's mansion is located in the southwest corner of Ganzhou City. The gate and nearby streets and alleys look unremarkable at all. If it weren't for the powerful four-character "Zhenguo Gongfu" on the dusty plaque that is about to lose its gold paint, He Qizhou would have
Just think of it as a down-and-out scholarly family.
After entering the gate, the housekeeper was as happy as celebrating the New Year. The young lady and uncle kept shouting, but he did not ask the guests to stop and get off. Instead, he rode a horse to lead the way.
He Qizhou was stunned. The Duke's Mansion was surprisingly big. Xiaoxue said that the mansion occupied a quarter of the size of the inner city, and the courtyard where the old man lived was in the southwest corner farthest from the gate, which was a full two miles away.
There are many roads. There are big trees and rows of houses along the way. The strangest thing is that there are acres of farmland with many people working on it. It looks more like a village.
The houses mainly made of bricks and stones can only be considered shabby. The only thing that has some atmosphere is a blue pool, half a mile square. The calm water reflects the reflection of the distant mountains. The strange rocks on the shore are towering, and many children are jumping naked from the heights.
Enter the water.
"Ah Ling, you guys liked to play like this when you were kids," the old housekeeper said.
Zhang Ling poked her head out of the car and said with a smile: "I have already forgotten about it."
"Uncle Yan, I also loved summer the most when I was a child. I could soak in the water all day long." Xu Muxue said.
"Well, your parents don't care about you. Once you go far away, they will either throw you into the palace or put you here with us." Yan Bo said.
"Are they always so naked under the bright sun?" He Qizhou couldn't help but ask as he watched several naked children jumping from rocks into the water from a distance.
The old housekeeper said proudly: "Oh, it's really strange. Everyone here is dark. Only the children of our Zhang family, even if they are tanned, they will turn white again in two days. A Ling and Xiaoxue have been like this since they were young.
White and tender..."
"Uncle Yan!" Zhang Ling and Xu Muxue shouted almost at the same time.
Uncle Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, girls will wear pants and go into the water."
"No clothes?" This time it was Xu Qinghan's turn to have a headache.
"Hmm. What clothes should I wear in the water?" Uncle Yan nodded.
"Ah?" He Qizhou and Xu Qinghan shouted at the same time.
"What are you thinking! Girls who go to school won't play with those brats. Why should a five or six-year-old girl be shirtless?" Zhang Ling yelled in the carriage, and Xu Qinghan vaguely heard Xu Qinghan snort.
He Qizhou was more graceful. Although Xu Mu pinched his arm hard, there was no change on his face, let alone any sound.
"Xiaoxue, I'm worried about you. I'll just follow him later," said Yan Bo.
"What can happen to me?" Xu Mu asked.
"Xiaoxue!" Zhang Ling stuck her head out and yelled again.
"Oh, go along, go along." Xu Mu replied hurriedly.
When the Xu family entered Ganzhou City, Zhang Ling, who had been promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, personally welcomed them in. Therefore, they already knew that the old man was in good health, so they could talk to the housekeeper easily along the way. However, the closer they got to the courtyard, the more Zhang Ling became.
I was worried because there were very few things in the vegetable field at the entrance of the courtyard: "Why doesn't grandpa grow vegetables?"
"I haven't planted anything since the army was defeated and returned." Yan Bo said.
