It happened in an instant, the servants and maids who were originally receiving the daughters in the courtyard suddenly became troubled, and hijacked several official girls nearby and threatened with swords, just when they attracted everyone's attention, dozens of people dressed as servants jumped out of the surrounding rooms, and at the same time hijacked several other girls, they also lit something that looked like grass.

The pungent smell of smoke immediately filled the surroundings, which hindered the speed of the guards' rescue, and the few breaths of time were exactly what the enemies needed.

Because they got along with the daughters of the officials, Yao Xuan's male guards consciously dispersed after entering the village, guarding the door and around, so at the moment of the sudden change, there were only four maids and four rough mothers-in-law by Yao Xuan's side.

Le Ping and Le Fan naturally protected Yao Xuan firmly for the first time, but Ertong and Qixing fell into each other's hands, and they were also held hostage by the neck of the horizontal sword like those girls.

So when Yao Xuan's guards surrounded her, the other party had already seized the opportunity, Miss Zhang hooked the corners of her mouth a little proudly, took the assassin's sword and crossed the neck of Miss Cao Qi, and then whispered to Yao Xuan: "Lord Yongjia, it's better to let your people stop!" ”

Seeing this, Yao Xuan didn't say anything with a cold face, but just raised her hand and waved it slightly, and her subordinates immediately retreated around her, and the other survivors also took the opportunity to run behind them, and the people on Miss Zhang's side also took the hostages and retreated, and the two sides of the people were in a stalemate against each other.

It is worth mentioning that although these hijacked official girls were a little frightened, they did not beg for mercy in a bad way, and even Miss Cao Qi, who was taken care of, looked at Miss Zhang coldly at this time, arrogant as always.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the girls of the eunuch house in the border city, are they all quite bold?

Yao Xuan subconsciously sighed in her heart, her eyes swept over the opposite group of assassins dressed as ordinary servants and maids, and finally fell on Miss Zhang, who seemed to be the main messenger, Yao Xuan asked in a cold voice: "Miss Zhang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"County lord, please rest assured, the courtiers have no ill will towards you as the county lord." Miss Zhang's smile was still bright in the face of Yao Xuan's cold eyes, and she even wrinkled her nose a little delicately and said, "Actually, my master wants to invite the county lord to your house as a guest." ”

"This kind of way of entertaining, the county lord is really insightful." Yao Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard the word master said by Miss Zhang, knowing that the person behind Zhang's daughter must be not small, otherwise how could she make the daughter of the Wupin official family recognize her as the master?

"It's not that I'm afraid that the county lord won't agree, so I made this decision." Miss Zhang was still smiling, as if she was really just talking to Yao Xuan, and she didn't hold a sword across the neck of the girl, "After all, there are too many masters around you, county lord." ”

Miss Zhang's words surprised Yao Xuan at the same time, but also shocked the people who were used as bargaining chips, the three girls of the Qu family were young and impulsive, and they directly scolded in anger: "What kind of ghost is your master...... Yes! ”

Before the third girl Qu finished speaking, she was slapped to the ground by the assassin who noticed it, and the second girl Qu who did not stop her sister's impulsive behavior saw this, her eyes flashed with horror, and then she hurriedly called her sister to squat down and hugged Miss Qu San, and looked at Miss Zhang with tears and forbearance, and then looked at Yao Xuan.

The girls who were held hostage were still young, even if they had a stronger personality, they were limited, and at this moment, seeing that the third girl Qu was slapped so vigorously, they were all even more nervous, and their eyes at Yao Xuan became complicated.

Yao Xuan knew that if today's matter was not handled well, there would be more people offended by their family in the border city, so he glanced at the escort commander who accompanied him this time, and then looked at the assassin who started beating people and said coldly: "Being majestic in front of the county lord also depends on whether you are qualified or not." ”

As Yao Xuan's voice fell, a flying knife instantly pierced the shoulder of the assassin who beat people, and the entire blade was completely submerged, and the commander of the guards behaved very casually, obviously if he wasn't afraid of provoking the other party and hurting the hostage, this dart would have no problem directly hitting the opponent's carotid artery!

Miss Zhang, who originally looked relaxed, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of her neck when she looked at the commander of the guards, only then did she understand why Commander Wen acted so cautiously, and immediately restrained her emotions, looked at Yao Xuan and said politely: "The subordinate is not sensible, please forgive the county lord." ”

As Miss Zhang's words fell, the injured assassin knelt on one knee with an ugly face, and then covered his wound and bowed his head to Yao Xuan to admit his mistake, and this scene also made all the girls look a little calm, and their eyes at Yao Xuan eased.

Being incapable and dragging them down is completely different from having the ability to win but risking oneself for them.

And Yao Xuan, who saw everyone's looks in her eyes, was also lightly relieved, but now that she had lost the opportunity, it seemed that she could only respond to the other party's request first, and then adapt to the situation, so Yao Xuan asked directly: "Tell me your conditions." ”

"The county lord, you are really refreshing, and the courtier will say it directly." Miss Zhang smiled and said, "As long as the county lord honestly goes with the courtiers, then tomorrow afternoon, the girls and the people of your family will naturally return to the city safely." ”

There is a large area of mountains and forests at the junction of the Great Surrounding City and the Later Tang Dynasty, and Commander Wen has already led people to wait there, more than a day is enough time for them to bring people over, and then it will be too late for the Yao family to chase after them!

"It turns out that this is the so-called surprise that you invited us to stay overnight in Zhuangzi." Yao Xuan also knew the geography of the border city very well, and in an instant, she also thought of the border that was a one-day drive away from here, and her gaze at Miss Zhang became even more complicated, "You call yourself a courtier, don't you know that what you did today is enough to kill your Zhang family and the three clans?" ”

Treason, even in the Great Zhou, where the law is more lenient, is a heinous capital crime, and the three clans here refer to the father, mother, and wife, for example, if the unmarried Miss Zhang makes a mistake, the responsibility will be determined on her father Zhang, then Lord Zhang's father's family, maternal grandfather's family, and wife's family will be punished, so Miss Zhang is really a cheat.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's not my father anyway." Miss Zhang didn't seem to care about this at all, she and her biological parents were both secret agents of the Tang Kingdom, and the nominal father was just a perfunctory fool who was fooled by her mother! (To be continued.) )
