Zhang Shixing looked up and saw that this person turned out to be Xu Miaojin, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Miaojin smiled and said, "This is my home, why can't I be here?" ”

Zhang Shixing suddenly realized that Xu Miaojin was the daughter of the Xu family, and she was not married, so it was actually uncourteous to live in her sister's house, and now that King Yan has ascended the throne and become the emperor, she can't live in the palace, so she has to live back in her own home.

Zhang Shixing admires Xu Miaojin very much, but the two belong to two camps and it is impossible for them to be together, so they have already built a high wall in their hearts to isolate this love, and they have always respected Xu Miaojin.

Now that he heard Xu Miaojin say that he could help him, he changed his cold appearance in the past, and bowed to Xu Miaojin and said: "Miss Xu, this matter is really difficult to do, whether it succeeds or not, thank you girl for helping." ”

Xu Miaojin Yingying Wanfu said: "You were talking in the house just now, I happened to pass by, and I saw someone in the house, I was afraid that something would happen to the eldest brother, so I eavesdropped on your speech, please don't blame." ”

Xu Huizu said coldly: "Afraid that something will happen to me? I'm afraid your sister and brother-in-law sent you to spy on your eldest brother. ”

Xu Miaojin said: "Whatever the eldest brother is talking about, they are all a family, why bother to get old and die and not get along." ”

Xu Huizu sighed and said: "The girl is outgoing, but my Xu family has always been loyal and patriotic, and they gave birth to such two unfilial daughters, who helped to abuse and usurp the throne, so what face do I have to meet the ancestors of the Xu family in the future?" ”

Xu Miaojin retorted: "Big brother, you can't say that, Emperor Jianwen is in front of the feudal domain, persecuting the feudal domains, and now he has no choice but to raise troops to appease, he can win the throne, it is really the will of heaven, not human ears." ”

Xu Huizu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I don't want to hear it, usurpation is usurpation, this is a fact that no one can change." ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves and went out of the room, leaving Zhang Shixing and Xu Miaojin on the spot.

Zhang Shi is not walking, he is not, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, quite embarrassing.

Xu Miaojin was generous, invited Zhang Shixing to sit down, and asked, "Commander Zhang, we haven't seen each other for a year, how are you lately?" ”

Zhang Shixing thanked her again and said, "Last time, thanks to Miss Xu for rescuing me, I was able to escape with my life." ”

Xu Miaojin said: "In the past, the world was undecided, and it was understandable that you and I were our own masters and fought each other. If you are unified today, can't you be obedient to today? With your talents, I will protect you as a high-ranking official. ”

Zhang Shixing smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Miss Xu still doesn't understand Zhang's character, I would rather die to maintain the righteousness of the world than to compromise and climb the dragon and the phoenix." ”

Xu Miaojin blurted out a sentence: "Even if it's for me, can't it?" With that, she blushed.

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he immediately got up and said goodbye: "Thank you for the girl's kindness." I'm engaged, and I don't dare climb high. The girl's life-saving grace will be reported later. "Then I'm going to go out.

Xu Miaojin grabbed him and said, "Idiot, didn't you say that you want to ask me for help?" Sit down yet. ”

Zhang Shixing puffed up and said, "Forget it, I'd better figure it out myself." Don't bother the girl. ”

Xu Miaojin sneered and said, "You can still find a second person to help you in this Ying Tianfu, I don't have the surname Xu." ”

Zhang Shixing had nothing to say, so he had to stand where he was and keep silent.

Xu Miaojin said: "You said that you have a fiancée trapped in the Teaching Workshop Division and want someone to help her get out of the country, yes or no?" ”

Zhang Shixing nodded helplessly.

Xu Miaojin said: "This matter is really difficult to do, but I went to ask Jinshang, the next holy decree, pardoned these prisoners, and your fiancée will naturally leave her nationality and go home." ”

Zhang Shixing had no choice but to thank him again.

Xu Miaojin asked again: "If your fiancée is divorced, do you still want to marry her?" ”

Zhang Shixing thought about it and nodded firmly.

Xu Miaojin shook her head helplessly and said, "At that time, I'm afraid that you are willing, and she will not either." She is with you, adding to her troubles and living in pain for the rest of her life. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "I don't know what will happen in the future, I just want to save her from the sea of suffering as soon as possible." ”

Xu Miaojin said: "This matter is urgent, I want to find an opportunity to persuade Jinshang." What is the second thing you said, I didn't hear it clearly outside the window just now. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "The second thing is that I want you to take me to visit the Empress Dowager Lu." ”

Xu Miaojin looked at him and suddenly asked, "Where is Jianwenjun?" ”

Zhang Shixing thought about it, and replied honestly: "He is in a safe place." I can't say. ”

Xu Miaojin said: "Since this is the case, I won't force you." It's easy to visit the crown princess, I can take you there tomorrow, let's pretend to worship the filial piety tomb first, and then go to the tomb of Prince Yiwen to visit the princess Lu. But you have to pretend to be my Xu Mansion's family first, and go with me, so as not to make people suspicious. You will rest here for the night tonight, and I will have people bring clothes and bedding, and tomorrow morning, we will set off for Xiaoling. ”

Zhang Shixing had a good voice, so he obeyed Xu Miaojin's arrangement and rested in Xu's study for a night.

Early the next morning, Xu Miaojin took a carriage, Zhang Shixing stuck his beard, pretended to be an old family member of Xu's house, sat in front of the car, and went to Xiaoling together.

Coming to the front of the Dajin Gate, the mausoleum guards blocked the way, Xu Miaojin raised his willow eyebrows, his apricot eyes were wide, and he shouted: "I am the sister of the queen today, and I came to worship the filial piety tomb by the queen's command, who dares to stop it?" ”

The mausoleum guards hurriedly stepped aside, got out of the way, and the two of them followed the Shinto path and walked up the mountain.

Zhang Shixing thought that he had been the commander of Xiaolingwei back then, and he didn't know how many times he had walked this divine way, but now he had to pretend to be a servant of the Xu Mansion and rely on a woman to come up.

When the two of them were about to arrive at Sifang City, they turned east and came to the tomb of Prince Yiwen, and the sergeant guarding the tomb stepped forward to stop him and said, "Who are you, you are not allowed to enter here without an order." ”

Xu Miaojin said: "I am the queen's sister, and I came to visit Princess Yiwen at the mouth of the queen." ”

The sergeant guarding the tomb said: "No one is allowed to enter without a holy decree." ”

Xu Miaojin stepped forward and slapped the sergeant twice, shouting, "You dare to stop me, believe it or not, I killed you." ”

The sergeant was so dazed by the beating that he covered his cheek and hurried away.

At this time, a person walked out of the mausoleum gate and shouted, "Who is making a noise here?" ”

Zhang Shixing saw that this person was his original subordinate Baihu Niu Er, he didn't dare to come forward to recognize him, for fear of revealing Zhu Yunwen's line of secrets, so he quickly lowered his head.

Xu Miaojin didn't take Niu Er in his eyes, and said to him: "I am the queen's sister Xu, and I want to go in to worship Prince Yiwen by the way, and visit the princess by the way, please get out of the way." ”

Niu Er had heard of Xu Miaojin for a long time, and when he saw her posture, he knew that it was true, so he smiled and said: "It turned out that Miss Xu arrived, and she missed the distance, and I hope to beg for forgiveness." In Xia Xiaoling, Wei Baihu Niu Fu came to lead the way for the girl. ”

Xu Miaojin nodded and said, "It's almost the same, I finally met someone along the way." With that, he followed Niu Er into the mausoleum.

Xu Miaojin entered the hall of enjoyment, offered sacrifices, marked three incense sticks to Prince Zhu of Yiwen, kowtowed three times, and Zhang Shixing also knelt down.

Then Xu Miaojin followed Niu Er to the side hall, where the princess of Yiwen, Lu Shi, and her son Zhu Yunxi were imprisoned.

Xu Miaojin said to Niu Er: "You stand down for the time being, I have something to say to the crown princess alone." ”

Niu Er arched his hand and said, "Obey." Then he stepped back, and when he left, he glanced in the direction of Zhang Shixing, intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Miaojin pushed the door into the room, Lu Shi got up from the chair in shock, looked at her carefully for a long time, and muttered to herself: "It's the second girl of the Xu family, they are all like flowers and jade." What are you doing here? ”

Xu Miaojin said with a smile: "Crown Princess, I brought you someone today, who do you see?" With that, she beckoned Zhang Shixing to come in, and she walked out of the house by herself and stood outside the door to look at the wind.

Zhang Shixing saw that Empress Dowager Lu's face was full of wrinkles, her hair was gray, she hadn't seen her for a few months, and she was so old that she couldn't help crying, and knelt down on the ground with a plop and said, "Little Zhang Shixing visits the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Lu slowly lowered her head, and when she saw Zhang Shixing, she also looked at it carefully for a long time and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a little tartar, are you okay?" Where is my son Yunwen now, is he okay? ”

As soon as Zhang Shixing entered the palace, he was Zhu Biao's personal guard, because he was selected from the captured Mongolians to be a guard, so the people in the palace called him Little Tartar, half banter, half intimacy.

Zhang Shixing cried and said, "Your Majesty, everything is fine with him. He ordered me to visit you, Queen Mother, how are you doing? ”

Empress Dowager Lu nodded weakly and said, "I'm fine, I won't be able to die for a while." Thank you for coming to see me. I don't see anyone here all day, it's all ghosts. ”

Zhang Shixing asked again: "King Xu (Zhu Yunxi) is he okay?" ”

At this time, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy walked out of the back room, it was Zhu Yunxi, the king of Xu, and said to Zhang Shixing: "Is my brother okay?" ”

Zhang Shixing said: "He's all right. ”

Zhu Yunxi asked again: "Then when will he be able to save us out, it's like a trap here, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Please bear with King Xu for a while, Your Majesty is trying to contact all the heroes to raise troops to restore." ”

At this time, Xu Miaojin said to everyone in the room: "It's not too early, we should go." ”

Zhang Shixing kowtowed to Empress Dowager Lu and Zhu Yunxi a few times, and got up to say goodbye.

Xu Miaojin and Zhang Shixing went out, and Niu Er was waiting outside the hall, and smiled flatteringly at Xu Miaojin: "Miss Xu, if you don't stay for a while, are you going to leave?" ”

Xu Miaojin said angrily: "What is there to treat here." With that, he took Zhang Shixing out of the mausoleum.

They walked back to Wenwu Xiamafang along the Shinto Road, got into the carriage, and galloped along the street outside Chaoyangmen towards the city.

Halfway through, suddenly a team of Jinyi Guard cavalry galloped past the car and ran in the direction of Xiaoling.

Zhang Shixing secretly screamed badly, he had been on an errand in Jinyiwei for many years, and had already formed a case-handling thinking, and it was estimated that his hiding had been discovered by Niu Er, and he reported it to Jinyiwei, so Jinyiwei would rush to Xiaolingwei to arrest him.

He said to Xu Miaojin in the car: "Miss Xu, thank you for your help this time, let's say goodbye." After that, he didn't wait for Xu Miaojin to answer, he jumped out of the carriage and got into the woods by the roadside.

Sure enough, after a while, the pair of brocade-clothed cavalry turned back again, caught up with Xu Miaojin's carriage, and surrounded the carriage.

Xu Miaojin lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to this group of knights in brocade clothes: "What are you doing, dare to stop this girl's carriage, do you know who I am?" ”

The first of these knights, with a white complexion, a pockmarked face, and a sharpened chin, arched his hand and said: "In the lower brocade guard, the commander Ji Gang will see Miss Xu." ”

Xu Miaojin said: "Since you recognize me, don't hurry up and get out of the way." ”

Ji Gang smiled and said, "Please Miss Xu hand over the traitor Zhang Shixing, everything is easy to say." ”
