Chapter 198: Guts
The weather was not good, it was gloomy and gloomy, and the north wind was blowing violently, blowing on the face like a small knife, and it could snow at any time.
The snow in the northwest either doesn't fall, or it falls heavily or even blizzard, which is a good time for a sneak attack, but Xu Zizhen didn't plan to do it today, since he wants to play, then have a good time, and the internal and external attacks can give the Xia army the biggest blow.
Kou Qiaoyi had already packed his bags for him, his eyes were slightly red, he bit his lip and looked at him, Xu Zizhen smiled, hugged Kou Qiaoyi, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said softly: "Take care of yourself, wait for me to come back." With that, he strode out the door and never looked back.
Xu Zizhen didn't dare to say anything to Kou Qiaoyi, and walked out of the gate of the mansion quickly, looking left and right to see if anyone turned into a small alley.
The alleys of Lanzhou City extend in all directions, and Xu Zizhen made more than a dozen turns before coming to the door of a small house, and then observed it a few times before lightly deducting it.
"Who?" A vigilant voice was heard from inside.
Xu Zizhen said in a low voice: "Me! ”
The door creaked open, revealing an alert face, it was one of Du Jin's subordinates, and when he saw that it was Xu Zizhen, he relieved himself and welcomed him in.
Xu Zizhen was a little funny, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a spy joint, he smiled and walked in, and saw that Du Jin had walked into the courtyard and smiled at him.
"I'm sorry to have hung you guys for so many days, guilty of sin." Xu Zizhen hurriedly apologized, he really forgot about these people these days, and he didn't even take some time to come and see them.
Du Jin smiled: "I think it's good, it's quiet here, no one disturbs you." Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Zizhen, "A few days ago, it was spread all over Lanzhou City, Xu Gongzi personally led the 500 Shenji Battalion to repel the 100,000 Western Xia army, and killed the vanguard of the Xia army under the watchful eye of the enemy, and it was really heroic!" No wonder the princess and Lan'er are full of praise for you. ”
Xu Zizhen was thick-skinned, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all when he praised him like this, but was a little curious: "Xiao Lanlan also praised me?" What are you praising me? ”
He was really a little curious, it was normal for Li Luoyan to say that he was good, but Yun Shanglan hadn't seen him a few times in total, and he liked to squeeze him a few words from time to time, this little ghost spirit would actually praise him?
Du Jin glanced at him meaningfully: "Lan'er said, you are the most courageous and responsible strange man she has ever seen. ”
Xu Zizhen asked expectantly, "What else?" ”
"It's gone."
"Gone? That's it? Xu Zizhen was a little disappointed, but it was better to stop in front of his uncle, "Ahem...... I mean Miss Yun praises falsely, Lao Xu, I am ashamed, embarrassed. ”
Du Jin smiled, took him into the house, sat down and looked at Xu Zizhen a few times: "I also heard that Xu Gongzi was injured with a hundred arrows that day, and today I saw you acting as usual, isn't it a rumor?" ”
Xu Zizhen shook his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "It must be a rumor, I am going to hit a hundred or so arrows and it will not be a sieve?" You'll have to go to the grave to find me. ”
Du Jin nodded, and suddenly said: "Xu Gongzi has nothing to do, didn't he come to me today to find the Three Peerless Hall or Qi Size?" ”
Xu Zizhen was stunned, this little old man is so smart! He was praised so much just now, but now he blushed a little, and said with a dry smile: "I'm not just for this, the key is to see how you are doing, I am thinking about finding an opportunity to send you to the Central Plains." ”
Du Jin shook his head and said: "There is no need for the Central Plains, if the Yun family is a matter, I still have to go back, what is the use of Xu Gongzi for me Du, you might as well say it directly." ”
Xu Zizhen saw that he was straightforward, so he stopped being wordy, and simply said frankly: "I plan to sneak into Apricot Fort today, looking for a chance to catch Qian Size, I want to ask you if you are familiar with that place, if you can, draw me a road map or something." ”
Du Jin was taken aback: "You want to capture Qian Size?" You...... Are you crazy? ”
Xu Zizhen said seriously: "As long as you take down Qian Size, Queen Xiao will lose a big pillar, and when the time comes, let's go back to the palace, and his Xiao family will be waiting to be cleaned up." ”
Du Jin looked at him stunned, as if he had never seen him before, and only after a long time did he breathe a sigh and sighed: "Although Apricot Fort is small, the streets in the city are also complicated, and it is difficult for me to draw carefully." Xu Zizhen's face tightened, and before he could speak, Du Jin glanced at him, and then said, "But Du can go with Xu Gongzi, I am familiar with the city first, and secondly, ...... Xu Gongzi can disguise himself as a skilled worker, and he will not show flaws if he is with me. ”
Xu Zizhen was startled, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, Miss Yun entrusted you to me, just for the sake of your safety, last time you escaped from that valley, you have become a traitor to the Three Peerless Hall, if they find out again, it will be too dangerous, I would rather go into the city to grope by myself than let you go together!" ”
Du Jin said leisurely: "If I take Xu Gongzi into the city, I will definitely be able to get in touch with Ji Ze more closely." ”
"This ......!" Xu Zizhen was entangled all of a sudden, Du Jin said it clearly, if it was really the same as what he said, it would undoubtedly be a good opportunity, as the commander of the army, there would definitely be no shortage of personal guards, if he could get by his side, it would definitely be much easier.
In the end, Du Jin persuaded Xu Zizhen with a smile, and even his subordinates went with them, although they were skilled workers, but they were all good, Xu Zizhen had also seen it last time when he burned the extreme artillery in the valley.
Xu Zizhen took a few people back to the mansion and called Qian Tongzhi out, Qian Tongzhi couldn't hold back a few days ago, and ran to his house every day, just waiting for when to go to Apricot Castle, the luggage had already been packed, and Xu Zizhen had already run out cleanly as soon as he called him.
Shui Liuli and Wen Xian were alarmed, and they also followed out the door, looking at Xu Zizhen and silent, Xu Zizhen suddenly walked a few steps and hugged them all in his arms, and the two of them were suddenly shocked and froze there.
Xu Zizhen leaned into her ears and said softly: "This time, I don't know when Lu Dao will come back, if it succeeds, maybe I will go directly to Xixia, if it doesn't work......"
The two of them were startled, Shui Liuli couldn't care about being shy, and covered his mouth, but he didn't expect Wen Xian's hand to cover it at the same time, and the two of them said urgently in unison: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Xu Zizhen put out his hands together, held their hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, I will definitely come home with all my beards and tails." After speaking, he took half a step back, looked into the eyes of the two, and said with a wicked smile, "In the past few days, you two have nothing to do, you can be more close, and you won't be jealous and sour in the future." ”
Shui Liuli was like a thunderbolt, she was stunned for a moment, her pretty face turned red, and she looked at a loss, she didn't expect Xu Zizhen to say her so suddenly, and it was in front of Wen Xian.
It's just that to both her and Xu Zizhen's surprise, Wen Xian actually grabbed her hand and whispered to Xu Zizhen: "Sister Liuli and I will naturally be close, why do you say more?" It's only right that you come back sooner. ”
Xu Zizhen was stunned, he didn't know what to say, Wen Xian's eyes gradually softened, stretched out his slender hand to straighten his clothes, and said softly: "Zizhen, remember that Sister Liuli and I are waiting for you here, don't forget!" ”
A snowflake fell suddenly, and then countless snowflakes fell between the heavens and the earth, Xu Zizhen only felt that the pride in his chest suddenly became angry, and he laughed and said: "It's just a little Qianzize, I regard it as a chicken, a dog, you two just take care of your body and wait for me to come back and marry you!" Haha......"
