Zhang Zongzhao raised his face and asked, "Father, where are you going?" When will you be back? ”

Zhang Shicheng's face finally showed a hint of softness, and he smiled kindly: "Father will be back soon, you have to listen to your mother's words carefully." ”

"The child obeys!" Zhang Zongzhao seems to have to bow down.

Zhang Shixin said with concern: "If the eldest brother can't rush out, he will come back, this Pingjiang is still guarded!" ”

Zhang Shicheng snorted coldly, "It's okay to keep it, but do you want to eat people with so many mouths!" "Pingjiang's current military strength is not bad at all, it's just that it's just food, and of course those rich gentlemen can squeeze out a little bit if they tighten their belts, but after all, they can only save a momentary emergency.

He jerked out his sword: "Open the city gate!" ”

There was no urn city in the gate, and the earth and stones piled up in the hole in the city gate had been cleared, and with a creak of inverted teeth, the city gate was slowly opened. But the first to go out was not Zhang Shicheng and his pro-army, but the moats and bridges.

The so-called moat bridge is a kind of disposable bridge, like a very long and large board cart, which is pushed into the moat during the siege of the city, and is built at both ends of the river bank to allow soldiers to pass.

Ma Du saw it very strangely, what did Zhang Shicheng do when he went to escape with this thing, and brought so much, was it to prepare for attacking the next shelter? . He hadn't been on the walls recently, so he didn't know what was going on outside the city.

As in history, Xu Dazai dug a lot of trenches near the city gate in order to prevent Zhang Shicheng from escaping, but now Xu Da is digging trenches in Pingjiang for one more reason, that is, to cover up that he is digging tunnels.

It didn't take long for a soldier to report that the road was open. Zhang Shicheng looked at his relatives, "Take care!" ”

His foot struck the horse's belly, and the horse immediately trotted toward the gate of the city. The pro-army cavalry immediately caught up, surrounded Zhang Shicheng in the middle, and entered the city gate cave in a hurry.

Seeing Zhang Shicheng enter the cave of the city gate, Princess Liu couldn't support it anymore, and sat on her knees all of a sudden, tears streaming down.

"Mother doesn't cry!" Zhang Zongzhao took his chubby little hand to wipe the tears on Princess Liu's face, his little hand was a little dirty and wiped Princess Liu's original delicate makeup, but it didn't work, Princess Liu's tears still couldn't stop, Zhang Zongzhao seemed to look at Ma Du for help, "Mr. Pony tells a story to coax the concubine." ”

His man went out of the city to fight with others, maybe he was going to die soon, it was strange if she didn't cry, she could be coaxed by telling a story, Ma Du had no choice but to shake his head at Zhang Zongzhao with a bitter face.

Princess Long An persuaded on the side: "Don't cry, concubine, let's go to the city wall and have a look." "Judging by her age, this Princess Longan should not be born to Princess Liu, but the relationship between the two seems to be very good.

Zhang Zongzhou also said: "Yes, mother, let's go up to the city wall, and we can still see my father." ”

"Yes, yes, go up to the wall! Help me! "After all, she is a woman, and without the backbone, Princess Liu immediately lost a little less calm.

Chen Bao said to Ma Du: "Mr. Ma go up together!" ”

Madu nodded, "Good! The two followed behind Princess Liu and walked to the city horse road not far away.

Chen Bao suddenly whispered: "Does Mr. Ma know why the prince invited you to see you off?" ”

Ma Du arched his hand and said: "I don't know, please ask Commander Chen for advice." ”

Chen Bao smiled: "Because the prince likes the stories you tell." ”

"This is Ma's honor, but I didn't see the prince when I was waiting just now, and I asked me to talk about it!"

Chen Bao sneered: "You misunderstood, what the prince means is that if he fails to charge the battle, he hopes to take you with him and let you relieve his boredom in the Netherworld." ”

Ma Du's heart couldn't help jumping when he heard this, and secretly scolded Lao Zhang Xinhei for being no less than Lao Zhu, but he pretended to smile lightly on his face: "Commander Chen said that he laughed, Ma was favored by the prince and was willing to die for the prince, but the prince was benevolent and would never let Ma die because of such a ridiculous thing." ”

"The prince is naturally benevolent, but if you want to divide people, it will naturally be different for you!"

"Why am I different?" Madu asked knowingly, with his neck curled.

"You know it in your own heart!" Chen Bao sneered: "You colluded with the Zhu thief to betray the prince, you are the meticulous work of the Zhu thief!" ”

"Chen security guard dares to insult me!" Ma Du suddenly punched Chen Bao in a rage, and if there was no overreaction at this time, it would be tantamount to acquiescence.

Chen Bao was very surprised, he couldn't imagine that Ma Du, who should be crying and begging for mercy, would dare to hit him, and he was defenseless at all. Ma Du was even more surprised, he was just bluffing, he didn't expect to hit, this guy is Lao Zhang's head of the guard, and his skills are too bad. However, his face is quite hard, and Ma Du's hands hurt.

This guy's ability to resist blows is also good, and after being hit for a while, he didn't have anything to do, and he immediately reacted with murderous intent in his eyes, and his right hand snapped on the hilt of the knife. Of course, Madu would not wait to kill him, and saw the princess who was walking in front turn around.

Ma Du rushed over, bowed down at the feet of Princess Liu, and said with pathos: "Princess, please be the master of the grass people!" "Ma Du has never knelt for Lao Zhu, nor has he knelt for Ma Dajiao, Zhang Shicheng has already knelt down one by one.

Cry out! Hurry up and cry out! Madu threw himself on the ground, his eyes widened, and he breathed deeply, twitching the lobes of his lungs to let himself into the rhythm of crying. As for Chen Bao, he is not worried, and if he lends him another hundred guts, he will not dare to kill in front of Princess Liu.

Usually he calls Zhang Shicheng "prince", but Ma Du heard Chen Bao call Princess Liu "mother", if he frightened Princess Liu, he had to wipe his neck with a knife first.

Ma Du didn't have the talent to be an actor, and he couldn't cry when he was killed, but when the blades of grass on the ground crossed his eyes, he finally had a trace of inspiration.

Princess Liu said: "What's wrong with Mr. Xiao! ”

When Ma Du started his head, his eyes were already red and tears were rolling, and he cried: "Back to the princess, Commander Chen slandered Ma as a thief and killed the grass people." Although the grass people are not scholars, they also know how to be courteous, righteous and shameful, how could the grass people betray the prince by the great favor of the prince, and the thief army humiliated me in Gaoyou, I don't share the sky with him, how can I serve him. The eldest husband did not hesitate to die, and Ma was willing to die to prove his innocence. ”

If there is anyone else in Pingjiang City who can be Ma Du's lifeline, it can only be Princess Liu. She is benevolent, virtuous and righteous, but unfortunately she only wanders around the back house, and she is far less likely to be than her peers in military and political affairs. What's more, she had a very good impression of Ma Du before, and even had the intention of entrusting Zhang Zongzhao to Ma Du, and her sensory impression of a person cannot be overturned at once.

Princess Liu looked at the knife in Chen Bao's hand and pulled out a small half-section, and said hurriedly: "Chen Bao, when are you still going to make trouble, how can Mr. Pony be the meticulous work of the Zhu thief...... If you had any proof, you could have pulled him out and cut him down now!" She was in a hurry to go up the city wall to see her husband, and she lost patience only halfway through her sentence, and her conversation jumped sharply.

It doesn't matter if she turns around, Ma Du's legs are tight and she almost doesn't pee her pants!
