After Zhou Dian took Mu Ying away from Sanssouci Island, Zhou Xian became ill.

It wasn't until three days later that Ah Qi, who was taking care of her, woke up early in the morning and found the letter that suddenly appeared on the table, and everyone stopped searching for Mu Ying.

The letter was written by Zhou Dian in advance and arranged for someone to secretly send it after the incident.

If someone else abducted Mu Ying, Zhou Xian was afraid that she would be broken into pieces, but it was her own brother who did this, and he tore the letter into pieces on the spot in anger.

Although Ah Qi didn't see the content of the letter, he only saw Zhou Dian's signature on the envelope, but from Zhou Xian's hateful and angry appearance, he could also guess that Mu Ying's disappearance was only related to the Zhou family.

Zhou Xian sighed a few times in succession, her face became extremely ugly, and she said helplessly: "Tell Su Sheng, don't tell Xuan'er and Chong'er about Ying'er first, the war in Henan is tight, don't interfere with them." ”

Ah Qi was already well-informed, and after being by Zhou Xian's side for a long time, he added a little calmness to his temperament, and after seeing that Zhou Xian deliberately concealed Zhou Dian, he didn't ask about the hidden situation, and replied obediently: "Ying'er is fine, don't worry, I will tell him where Su Sheng is." ”

Zhou Xian was a little relieved at this time, and after taking the medicine bowl handed over by Ah Qi, she smiled and said: "It's been really hard for you these days, Chong'er can find a good girl like you who knows and is considerate, and his father and mother will definitely be at ease in the spirit of the sky." ”

Ah Qiqiao blushed and lowered her head slightly.

Although she is a chivalrous innkeeper to the outside, she has become a well-behaved and sensible little girl in the boudoir when facing Mu Chong's elders.

Zhou Xian finished praising Ah Qi, and then thought of her son's lifelong events, and murmured: "I don't know if the Han family's girl Xuan'er likes it or not, as long as she has half of your thoughtfulness and virtue, I will be satisfied." Alas, it's all because this war came suddenly, and even your marriage has to be delayed again and again. ”

Speaking of marriage, Ah Qi's face turned even redder, so he had to shyly shift the topic to Wen Xuan: "Mr. Wen's engagement for Mr. Wen Gongzi is naturally not bad, which can be compared to a woman from a humble background like me." ”

Zhou Xian's eyes widened when she heard this, "I don't allow you to say such things to belittle yourself." ”

Ah Qi nodded with a grateful gaze, she had long been accustomed to seeing the ugly faces of the scholars after her parents died early, and after knowing the origin of the Wen family at first, she was really worried about her relationship with Zhou Xian for a long time.

The more Zhou Xian looked at Ah Qi, the more she liked it, so she took this opportunity to say: "The Wen and Mu families are world friends, and the two families in our generation have long been inseparable from each other, if you don't dislike it, the marriage between the two of you will be handled by me in the future." ”

Ah Qi was overjoyed when she heard this, she has been worried about this matter recently, but Mu Chong is an elm head, and she doesn't mention her marriage with herself in half a sentence, it is a good thing to have Zhou Xian to make the announcement on her behalf.

While Zhou Xian and Ah Qi were making good expectations and plans in the rear, Wen Xuan and Mu Chong had also rushed to Runing Mansion, and the reinforcements led by Mao Gui and Luo Wensu were a little slower.

After winning successive victories, the Yuan soldiers had relaxed their vigilance, not only did they not take advantage of the victory to attack the city, but they even came out to call for battle after a long time.

Although the Yuan soldiers were a little slack, the Red Turban Army in the city was a rumor, so when Wen Xuan and Mu Chong led dozens of shadow guards to arrive with light horses, it also caused a riot among the defenders on the city wall.

If it weren't for the fact that Tie Niu, who was patrolling the city wall, saw his two good brothers and hurriedly ordered him to stop, I was afraid that a few panicked archers would have already shot the arrows.

"Open the gates!" Iron Bull, dressed in a suit of armor, eagerly gave the order.

The hundred households who were responsible for guarding the city gate looked embarrassed and refused to open the city gate for a long time.

Tie Niu urged dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't go yet! ”

Baihu snorted: "But Marshal Liu has already given an order, and no one is allowed to open the city gate......"

Tie Niu frowned, knowing that what Baihu said was the truth, so he had to send someone to find Liu Futong, and he lay on the wall and shouted to Wen Xuan, telling them not to be anxious.

"Liu Futong is good at governing the army." Wen Xuan praised casually.

Mu Chong was quite disdainful of this: "It's not a group of waste that scared the Yuan soldiers. ”

Wen Xuan smiled when he heard this: "Brother Mu, the battle on the battlefield is not better than you and me alone, under the melee, human life is like a mustard, and it would be good for ordinary people to survive a few battles, otherwise with Brother Li's skills, wouldn't he have beheaded that Gong Buban a long time ago?" ”

Mu Chong joked: "You might as well arrange Brother Sheng to Liu Futong at the beginning, he is an expert in leading troops to fight." ”

Wen Xuan smiled bitterly: "Do you think that with Brother Li's straightforward nature, if you know Du Zundao's cunning intentions, you can resist tearing him alive on the spot?" ”

Mu Chong laughed: "Unless Du Zundao throws the iron bull into the Mingwang Cave." ”

The two of them were joking with the iron ox, and finally opened slowly after the city gate creaked.

It wasn't until a small group of soldiers completely pushed the city gate open that the city was greeted with four horsemen, led by Liu Futong, the marshal of the Red Turban Army, followed by Li Tieniu, Guan Duo, and Pan Cheng, three thousand households with military power.

Liu Futong urged the horse under his crotch to stop, and took the lead in holding his fists and said: "Master Wentang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Wen Xuan politely replied: "It's difficult for Marshal Liu to face the 100,000 yuan army, Wen and others are late." ”

Hearing that they were polite, Tie Niu immediately moved his horse forward and said in an urn voice: "You two stinky boys are finally willing to come over to help, and if you come a little later, I'm afraid you'll have to collect my body!" ”

Mu Chong quipped when he heard this: "I don't know who is always clamoring to go into battle to kill the enemy on weekdays, but when he really moves, he touches his nose." ”

Tie Niu said with a smile: "That Gong Buban is half a catty and eight taels with me, but I am really not his opponent when I lead the troops to fight, otherwise there is no need to rush to ask the two of you to come over to help." ”

Liu Fu informed that the three of them were playmates who had grown up together since childhood, and after listening to their cordial greetings with a smile, he introduced the other two behind Wen Xuan.

After everyone saluted in turn, Wen Xuan took the lead in saying what Liu Futong and others were eager to know.

"Brother Mu and I only came to report the news first, and the 30,000 righteous troops who came from Xuzhou to help are walking slowly, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to arrive."

Liu Futong was a little relieved when he heard this, and after brushing his beautiful hair, he smiled and said: "All the brothers must be tired after the starry night, hurry up and go into the city to rest, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet for you to catch the wind." ”

"Then Wen Mou is welcome." Wen Xuan said that he beckoned backwards and led dozens of shadow guards into the city.
