"Forget it, forget it, I just think her eyes are not so fierce these days. She doesn't even dare to raise her head to look up. She keeps her head buried all day, like a shy little lady. Brother, you are like this "Say, little brother, I've given up," said the boss.
"Has it been like this these past two days?" Mr. Qian put down the chopsticks in his hand and raised his head and asked.
"That's right, I wanted to look down at her, but I didn't expect that she would lower her head faster than me. I didn't dare to be frivolous with her. I just didn't let her look. I just didn't look at her." Mr. Bian said.
"It doesn't seem right, please take me to have a look!" Mr. Qian was about to find out what was going on when a soldier came to report: "General Qi, there is a man outside the garden who is wearing mourning clothes and calls himself the Privy Council, and he wants you to go. meet him."
"What?" Mr. Qian was almost shocked.
"Privy, Privy Councilor, I should have heard you right."
"He, how many people did he bring?"
"The two hundred riders are all wearing the military uniforms of our Ganzhou Army."
"Is the God of Plague really here? Second brother, thank you for your honesty. Zhang Ling's father is here! Go and bring the battalion from the West Garden here. I'll go see Zhang Zhiren, and you can raid the formation for me!" Mr. Qian temporarily put aside the idea of going to see Zhang Ling, called a few personal guards, and ran outside the tomb garden.
When President Qi Qian was still dozens of feet away from the door, he heard the guard at the door shout with relief: "That is President Qi Qian, please wait a little longer."
"What's going on?" Mr. Qi Qian walked to the door bravely. Jiang Wei's task for him was to take care of those who were detained, but he didn't say what to do when Zhang Zhiren came. But the other party was an enemy rather than a friend. It was clear and unmistakable, so all Qi Qianzong could think about was how to prevent the other party from breaking into the tomb garden.
At the gate of the tomb garden, hundreds of infantry troops blocked two hundred cavalrymen. A young man in mourning uniform was yelling at the sergeant guarding the gate. Mr. Qi Qian was also transferred here from Yuzhou. He had not seen Zhang Zhiren, but he had seen the leader. The rider was about sixty years old. Although his face was exhausted, he still had a majestic look that made people dare not look directly at him.
"General Qi Yue, dare I ask this lord..." Qi Yue walked out of the door through the passage given by his sergeants, clasped his fists at Zhang Zhiren and asked, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an officer: "Bold! Why don't you kneel down when you see the Privy Councilor? Come on! Take it down!"
Before the officer finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flashing out from beside the old man who claimed to be the privy envoy. His filial hat covered his face, but his filial clothes could not hide his graceful figure. He rushed towards them like a phantom.
Qi Yue's cultivation level in the Seven Meridians, he was born in the Military Academy and Jinshi, and he was one of the few good players under Zhang Wei. He just glanced at the woman's lightning-fast figure and knew that she was far outmatched. He was so frightened that he immediately turned around and went to Then he ran away, shouting: "Someone protect me!"
Zhang Zhiren rushed over in a hurry. The reason why he did not break in rashly was because he wanted to capture the garrison commander first. How could Xu Mu give Qi Yue a chance to escape? Lifting it up, the hem suddenly fell into Xu Mu's hands.
Qi Yue, who was stunned, reacted very quickly. He immediately untied the slip knot in front of his neck, abandoned his cloak and continued to rush towards the gate of the Tomb Garden. Two feet away, more than a dozen of his soldiers stepped forward to rescue him. But just as he took a step, Zhang Mufeng, who had just scolded the guards, rushed out from the side and blocked Qi Yue and the defenders.
Xu Mu seized the opportunity and attacked Qi Yue fiercely, using only four moves to restrain his opponent. The soldiers who wanted to save Qi Yue were far from Zhang Mufeng's opponents, and some of them were constantly being knocked away.
"Stop it!" Xu Mu stepped on Qi Yue, who was beaten to the ground, and shouted loudly. As expected, the hundreds of soldiers at the door did not dare to take action anymore, but the sound of fighting attracted the resting soldiers in the tomb garden. More and more people rushed out of the tile-roofed houses in the garden and crowded to the door. The number of people at the door suddenly increased to three to four hundred people!
"Why do you want to take action?" Another team of four to five hundred people came from the west. The leader of the group who asked the question was the commander who just reported in Qi Yue's house. Zhang Zhiren's two hundred cavalry were suddenly surrounded by eight or nine hundred people. among.
"I am Privy Councilor Zhang Zhiren! This is the ancestral tomb of my Zhang family! Anyone who dares to block the door again will be punished for disobeying military orders and will not be pardoned!" Zhang Zhiren shouted loudly, and the group of soldiers at the door immediately dispersed in fear. Go and make way for the gate.
"Sir Zhang, I am acting in accordance with the military order to look after the young man who is guarding the funeral of Mr. Zhang. Please let the general go first," Qi Yue begged.
"Yes, the military order we received is that no one is allowed to enter without General Zhang Wei's permission. We also hope that the Privy Council will show you the military order from the General Military Office." The general standing far away at the west end also called out.
"If you are not afraid of death, stop him! Mu Feng, leave half of the people guarding the door! The others rush in with me!" Zhang Zhiren immediately rode in and rushed in. Xu Muxue followed closely with Qi Yue, and two hundred people rode in one. Divided into two, half of the people dismounted and faced hundreds of defenders at the door, while the other half rushed in with great swagger.
The general, who led half of the defenders, did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to report to Ganzhou City. He summoned the defenders outside the garden to form a formation, and surrounded the gate layer by layer. At this time, the gate was occupied by Zhang Zhiren's cavalry. Occupied, there were still more than two hundred defenders in the garden. The person who came was a privy envoy who was comparable to the general of the army. The general was captured again. They all obeyed Zhang Mufeng's order and gathered in a corner.
Under the guidance of Sanfangji's guards, Xu Muxue quickly found the room where her mother was kept alone. In the room, a delicate woman with disheveled hair fell to the ground. It looked like her acupuncture points had been tapped.
"Mother!" In the dim room, Xu Muxue vaguely recognized the appearance of her mother. She screamed and rushed over. After checking the opponent's veins, it was indeed just that the acupuncture points were sealed, so she hurriedly removed the acupuncture points.
"Xiaoxue, is General Han coming to save us? I'm not your mother, I'm Aunt Ju."
"Aunt Ju?" Xu Mu immediately heard the voice of his mother's cousin, who had been working as an errand in the old man's house, and couldn't help but blushed and said: "Where is my mother?"
"My cousin took advantage of their unpreparedness, opened the acupuncture points, dressed me up in her appearance, and went to Suzhou to ask for reinforcements. You, didn't you come with my cousin?" Aunt Ju's martial arts skills were low. Although the acupuncture points were relieved, she still lay down. On the ground, unable to move.
"My grandpa led the troops to rescue people. Where is my father?" Xu Muxue asked.
"It's in the small room next door, locked up with Uncle Yan, and the others are locked up in the big mourning hall. They were afraid that your mother would not accept it, so they used my uncle to threaten you." Aunt Ju said.
Nothing happened to Xu Qinghan when he was rescued. He was just like everyone else in the mourning hall. His whole body was limp and his eyes could not open wide. It looked like he had been drugged. His condition was far inferior to that of Uncle Yan who was in the same room. .
There were more than 700 defenders blocked by Zhang Mufeng, and Zhang Zhiren quickly controlled the situation in the park. A total of more than 140 people were imprisoned here. Zhang Lei declared to the outside world that these people were working for his family. He advocated keeping the spirit alive at the beginning, but in reality he relied on large armies and drugs to capture the direct descendants of Dafang, who had always been dominant.
Zhang Zhiren was originally wondering. There were many masters in his lineage. His daughter Zhang Ling and housekeeper Yan Bo were both masters of the Wellspring Realm. Plus there were many guards under his father. How could it be possible that the mediocre Zhang Zhiliang could take away the position of head of the family? After hearing what Uncle Yan said, he knew the whole story.
All the people imprisoned in the Tomb Garden were regularly fed with intoxicating drugs, and most of them were martial arts masters, many of whom were masters of six meridians or above. Yan Bo and Zhang Ling, who were in the Yongquan Realm, were held in solitary confinement. In addition to the medicine, someone was also sent to tap the acupuncture points every three hours. The intoxicating medicine was mixed into the drinking water, and the detainees could only choose between death from thirst or being passed out.
After being rescued, Uncle Yan drank half a scoop of cold water in one breath and told Zhang Zhiren's grandparents about the situation on the day of the incident:
"After Master Yuanbao and He Qizhou's master and apprentice left, the master called all the families, held a family meeting, and announced that the position of head of the family would be passed on to Zhiren from now on. Although the matter happened suddenly, the second and third houses had no objections. Thinking of discovering that the master had cut off his meridians and died the next day, Zhang Lei, who was in charge of the military power in Ganzhou, had evil thoughts. He colluded with the third room, secretly poisoned the food, and sent a large army to surround the Duke's mansion.
The old servant and Ling'er soon discovered that there was something wrong with the meal, and wanted to lead the crowd to resist, but they were outnumbered. In addition, Zhang Lei used the stunned people in the big room as hostages, so we had no choice but to capture them.
Later, Zhang Wei promoted his father to the position of head of the family, claiming internally that Dafang had colluded with the Northern Zhou bandits and that he was acting under the emperor's secret orders. Externally, he claimed that we, as a family, were keeping vigil for the master..."
Zhang Zhiren muttered: "It is the eve of Jiang Shan's forced marriage. Presumably even if my father survives, Zhang Wei has already received Jiang Shan's instructions and is ready to take action. Otherwise, he would not dare to act like this. My father's departure is just the right time for Zhang Zhiren to take action." Zhang Wei found the opportunity to take action in advance."
"So Grandpa wasn't forced to death by He Qizhou? Wasn't your letter also forced to write?" Xu Mu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
"The letter that Zhang Wei brought to the capital was indeed written by him threatening me with the lives of his people. Alas, although I can't sleep at night, if the two of them don't come, they will definitely not choose to commit suicide." Yan Bo sighed.
The light in Xu Mu's eyes suddenly dimmed again, and he said: "Uncle Yan, where did my mother go? Then please continue talking."
"The Sword Comes"
Yan Bo said: "Okay. We have been imprisoned for five days. From the first day, Ling'er suppressed her thirst and secretly vomited out all the water and food. By the evening of the second day, she finally broke away when the drug wore off. Then he brought his cousin Aju, who was imprisoned in the mourning hall, here, dressed up like himself, and ran to Suzhou for help. But he hasn't come back yet."
"Uncle Yan, have you not drank water for a long time?" Xu Mu asked with some distress when he saw Uncle Yan's chapped lips.
"I'm old and useless. I haven't drank water for just a few hours, and my lips are so chapped. When those little bastards saw me like this, they poured drugs into my mouth, so I never had a chance to escape. Later See if I don’t take care of those bastards."
