Chen Zhizhou, under the guidance of a soldier, walked through the path in the dense forest, and came to the front of Wu Zhima, and was forced to breathe by the solemn atmosphere of the sergeant of the forest, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got out of the dense forest, and his heart was worried, and it didn't seem to be good today.

"Master Chen, haha, why are you here?" Wu Zhi jumped down from his horse and greeted Chen Zhizhou affectionately.

Chen Zhizhou hurriedly greeted the salute, saw that the king's face was pleasant, and his heart was a little calm: "Chitose, Xiaguan and Tian Hu, the owner of Tianjiazhuang, are familiar with each other, today is his father's 80th birthday, and Xiaguan is here to congratulate him!" ”

Wu Zhi: "Oh? sighed, and said in surprise: "Lord Chen and Tian Hu are very familiar?" This is strange, I received a secret report a few days ago, saying that Tian Hu recruited private soldiers, and he was not subordinate, worried about leaking the news, and startling the snake, this king did not know that he would be an adult, but the official document had been sent to the Gaizhou official office! ”

Chen Zhizhou heard Wu Zhi say this, and his heart was settled, so that's the case, I said, even if your king is powerful, but you don't send an official document, and it is unreasonable to casually lead troops into Gaizhou, I thought it was to deal with myself, it turned out that I had already sent an official document, well, I came to Tianjiazhuang early in the morning today, and I couldn't see your king's documents.

"Chitose, Xiaguan does have some friendship with Tian Hu, because Tian Hu is kind and charitable, he is a well-known good person in Gaizhou, and he will always put porridge and give alms during the New Year's holidays, such a benevolent squire, but Xiaguan can't help but make friends."

Wu Zhiqi said: "Tian Hu is actually this kind of person? This is strange, so why did the Cangzhou Chai family secretly report Tian Hu's rebellion? ”

Chen Zhizhou was completely relieved at this time, and he had also heard a little about the grievances between Tian Hu and Chai Jin, it turned out that Chai Jin was a troublemaker, and Chen Zhizhou said with a straight face: "The prince is a thousand years old, Tian Hu is really a virtuous and noble squire, and the lower officials don't know why the Chai family framed a good person." Please also Chitose Mingcha! ”

Wu Zhi nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It seems that this matter needs to be properly investigated, I thought that the Chai family had received the emperor's favor for generations, and it was quite famous for benevolence and righteousness in Hebei, the son of the Chai family would not lie, if he hadn't met Lord Chen, he would have almost wronged a good person......" A trace of anger appeared on his face when he said this. "If it weren't for the presence of an adult, it would have hurt someone's life. How can this king explain? Didn't the Chai family think that this king was easy to deceive?! ”

Chen Zhizhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly added fire to the side: "I don't know what the Chai family thinks about the officials, but Tian Hu's character can be guaranteed, and he will definitely not be a troublemaker!" ”

Wu Zhi snorted and said angrily: "Look at how I find the bad luck of the Chai family!" ”

Chen Zhizhou couldn't imagine that his words would make your king change his mind, and he was proud, it turned out that your king's ears were so soft. It's no wonder he made such a big move in Hebei, hehe. How can this kind of character be the opponent of the Chinese book?

Wu Zhi's face was pale, and he paced back and forth. seemed to be thinking about how to give the Chai family some hardship, and paced a few steps. Turning his head to Chen Zhizhou, he said, "Lord Chen, can you set up a note to vouch for Tian Hu." At that time, the king will find the Chai family to settle the account, and there will be a voucher! ”

Chen Zhizhou was slightly stunned, vouching for Tian Hu? It doesn't matter if you talk about it, but this argument is inevitably a bit more important, and it's easy to be used to make a fuss.

Wu Zhi saw that Chen Zhizhou was silent, his face showed doubt, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Tianjia Manor, Chen Zhizhou was shocked, knowing that your king was suspecting that his words were not true, if your king ordered to search the village, if some prohibited things were found in Tianhu Village, then he would lose a big help, but it would not be good at that time. If you want to go around, you can guarantee it, you only know him as a person, and you can never rebel, even if Tian Hu is planted in the matter of private salt in the future, you can't pull it on yourself, if you want to say that Tian Hu will rebel? I don't believe it when I kill myself.

Chen Zhizhou thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he said to Wu Zhi at the moment: "Chitose, the lower officials are willing to vouch for Tian Hu!" ”

Wu Zhi nodded slightly: "That's very good!" Ordered the left and right to bring pen, ink and paper, this was originally prepared for the interrogation of Tian Hu to frame Chen Zhizhou, but now it was used by Chen Zhizhou himself, Wu Zhi was amused in his heart.

Look left and right, Chen Zhizhou found a boxy stone, pounced on the paper, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and it was done with a wave, of course, Chen Zhizhou was very cunning, and the above was clearly understood, only guaranteeing that Tian Hu would not have the heart to rebel, and the words were listed in the praise of the people of Gaizhou for Tian Hu, etc., the whole article seemed to have little to do with Chen Zhizhou, but the people of the city testified for Tian Hu.

After writing, Chen Zhizhou read it several times by himself from beginning to end, and was sure that there was nothing wrong in his words, so he took it to Wu Zhi and presented it respectfully: "Please take a look at it." ”

Wu Zhi took it with a smile, glanced at it a few times and said with a smile: "Chen Zhizhou is really a good hand, a hundred times stronger than this king!" ”

Chen Zhizhou smiled: "Thank you for your praise, Xia Guan is a three-year jinshi of Yuan You!" ”

Wu Zhi said: "Oh, that's no wonder, it's much stronger than me, a prince who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it!" ”

Chen Zhizhou hurriedly said: "The prince is too humble! ”

Wu Zhi laughed, turned around and got on the horse, Chen Zhizhou thought that Wu Zhi was leaving, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xiaguan will send the prince!" ”

Wu Zhi glanced at Chen Zhizhou and said with a smile: "Lord Chen doesn't need to be polite!" With a wave of his hand, the golden gong team, the war drum team, and the horn team next to him suddenly sounded gongs and drums in unison, and the horn sounded for a long time.

Chen Zhizhou was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Chitose, who are you?" ”

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Lord Chen, don't panic, this king can't listen to you, only go into Zhuangzi to have a look, and then the Chai family will have nothing to say!" ”

Chen Zhizhou's face was very ugly: "Then why does Chitose need to go down to the official as a guarantee?" ”

Wu Zhi said lightly: "This is the adult who took the initiative to protect the land for Tian Hu, Lord Chen should not mess up the matter!" ”

Chen Zhizhou already knew that he was evil at Wuzhi at this time, and he was so angry in his heart, but when he remembered his vague letter of guarantee, it was just that Baotian Hu was not a rebel, even if the king found any contraband in Tianjiazhuang, it had nothing to do with him, but this tone couldn't be performed.

Chen Zhizhou thinks that he has Liang Zhongshu behind him, and he will be promoted all the way to the envoy in a few days, and he may not be much afraid of Wu Zhi, but at this time, he feels even more played by Wu Zhi, and he is furious in his heart, and he is no longer polite at the moment. Said coldly: "Chitose wants to copy the village, copy the village, the lower officials dare not say much, but Chitose don't forget, Tianjiazhuang is under the jurisdiction of Gaizhou, and there are lower officials to protect it, but Chitose insists on going his own way, if Chitose can't copy Tianhudi's rebellion." That lower official said that he couldn't go to the book to annoy Chitose! ”

Wu Zhi looked at Chen Zhizhou with a smile: "Oh? Lord Chen is so powerful? I don't know what crime I want to impeach this king when the time comes? Chen Zhizhou said coldly! First, your king sent troops across the border without permission, which violated the law! The second is that the king oppresses the place. Disturb the people! Third, if the king hurts people's lives for a while, the lower officials say that they can't impeach the king for his violent nature, careless of people's lives, lax governance and many other big crimes! ”

Wu Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this big hat buttoned down: "Chen Zhizhou didn't lose his hands to Lord Liang, he really has sharp teeth." What you said is right, if this king can't copy the evidence of Tian Hu's rebellion. The king will indeed bear these charges! ”

Chen Zhizhou saw that Wu Zhi didn't care, and his heart was suddenly shocked. Turned his head to look at Tianjiazhuang.

Wu Zhi smiled: "You don't have to look at it, Lord Chen." This kind of sword light and blood shadow is insulting to Sven, insulting to Sven! ”

Chen Zhizhou listened to Wu Zhi's nondescript words. But there was no funny meaning in his heart, because at this time, the heavy armored soldiers had already arrived in front of Tianjiazhuang, and Chen Zhizhou was like falling into an ice cave, and countless big men suddenly appeared in Tianjiazhuang, and they were strangled with the heavy armored soldiers.

Chen Zhizhou had stars in his eyes at that time, his legs were weak, and he slowly sat down on the ground.

It turned out that Tian Hu saw that Chen Zhizhou had been going for so long, and he was waiting anxiously, and suddenly heard the sound of the other party's gongs and drums, and the heavy infantry began to press, Tian Hu secretly screamed, there is no second way to go at this time, there are more than 3,000 people in Zhuangzi, even if he does not resist and say that he is rebelling, it is also indefinite, at this time, there is only a way out, if he does not resist, it must be a dead end, and he may be able to kill a bloody way to break through.

At the opening of the village gate, there are countless men with simple knives, led by two biao-shaped men, each holding a big axe, the heavy axe wheel is extremely powerful, every time the axe falls, there is a heavy infantry who is smashed to the ground, screaming. These two people are Tian Hu's subordinates Di Sheng and Bian,

Wu Zhi frowned, waved his hand, the horn sounded, the heavy spearmen slowly formed a formation, how experienced Su Sheng and Bian Xiang were, did not wait for the heavy infantry to form a phalanx, shouted, and led his subordinates to kill the heavy infantry team like the wind, Wu Zhi smiled, waved his hand again, the gong sounded, and the heavy spearmen entangled with the Pu Dao team under Tian Hu shouted, and slowly retreated, and the heavy spearmen who had formed a square position behind them went up, and where did the Pu Dao team in the heavy infantry melee notice this change, they were full of black and black heavy armored soldiers in front of them, only desperately slashed and slashed, and then slashed, who knew that the ground was suddenly empty, and then rushed to kill, and they were greeted by a team of captains' heavy spears, and the screams were continuous, and these men in cloth were poked down one after another.

At this time, in front of the south gate of Tianjiazhuang, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, although Tian Hu's subordinates were fierce, but the battle formation was much worse after all, and there was less armor to protect themselves, and they were poked over by people's heavy spears from time to time, but few of them could rush into the close range of the gun team, and the blood that began to rush out gradually leaked, and the rows of crossbowmen behind the heavy spearmen, the light infantry galloping in circles outside the dense forest, even if they were out of the encirclement, could they still be faster than the light cavalry of others? Not to mention the intimidating heavy cavalry behind the light cavalry.

This momentum plummeted, and suddenly it was even more unsupportable, except for a few leaders with superb martial arts who could still support it, the rest of the place was already retreating, and a pair of heavy spearmen slowly pressed up, forcing the Zhuang guests to retreat into the Zhuang courtyard one after another.

On a two-story attic in the courtyard, Tian Hu stood in front of the window, silently looking at the melee scene, and couldn't help but sigh: "I regret not listening to Mr.!" ”

On the left and right sides of Tian Hu, it is Lu Junyi and Qiao Daoqing, after Sun An's death, Tian Hu urgently needs a master who can take charge of himself, Lu Junyi is undoubtedly the best candidate, and after consulting Qiao Daoqing's opinion, he finally regarded Lu Junyi as the core figure of the Tian family, which is also the reason why Lu Junyi was able to learn about Tian Hu's subordinates early on.

At this time, the three of them were standing by the window, Qiao Daoqing heard Tian Hu's emotion, and slightly withdrew and frowned: "There is something strange about this matter!" ”

Tian Hu turned his head to look: "What did Mr. see?" ”

Qiao Daoqing frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later, it's important to get out of trouble now!" ”

Tian Hu's hand holding the window railing loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, and after a while, he slowly turned to Lu Junyi and said, "Please Brother Lu go and call the two brothers, Su Sheng and Bian Xiang." ”

Lu Junyi nodded silently and turned to walk out.

Tian Hu heard the footsteps outside the door and went away. Only then did he say to Qiao Daoqing: "Don't hide it, sir, my Tianjiazhuang has been repaired for generations, but there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the village, but it is not difficult to get out!" ”

Qiao Daoqing was not surprised, as if he had expected it, and nodded slightly.

Tian Hu said again: "There is a legacy of the ancestors, and this secret passage will never be used unless it is a critical moment." Not to mention that no descendants of the Tian family are allowed to know, and please don't blame Mr. Tian for deceiving in the past. ”

Qiao Daoqing smiled: "Big brother is too worried. The younger brother is naturally saved! ”

Tian Hu sighed: "Although he can get out, Tian is so unwilling!" ”

Qiao Daoqing couldn't help but be confused, looking at the messy Zhuang Ke in the village, he shook his head, and didn't know what to say to comfort Tian Hu.

At this time, there was a sudden neat shout outside the manor: "Everyone in the village listens! Your King's Order! Eliminate the first evil and the most sworn enemy! Whoever lays down his weapons and surrenders! All of them are exempted from crime and enlisted in the army! If you resist, you will be killed! ”

There was a big uproar in the village, and now it can be said to be a real life and death juncture. After the battle, all the villagers knew that if they continued to fight, it would definitely be a dead end. Those who can listen to surrender will not die and join the army, and some people will inevitably be moved. There was a lot of discussion, but no one could be the first, so they threw down their weapons and ran out to surrender.

Tian Hu looked at the noisy subordinates in the pretending village. smiled miserably: "That's fine, my first evil and a few of your dead friends escaped through a secret passage." These brothers will survive! ”

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the door curtain was lifted, Lu Junyi led Su Sheng and Bian Xiang to walk in, Tian Hu sighed, "Let's go!" ”

Lu Junyi and the three of them were stunned, and Qiao Daoqing said: "Escape, there is a secret way!" ”

Ji Sheng was stunned: "Just leave like this?" ”

Qiao Daoqing said: "What if you don't leave?" ”

Everyone was gloomy, and Tian Hu suddenly laughed: "Don't be discouraged!" Wherever my Tianhu is, he is a man who stands up to the sky! Someday you'll get back what you lost today! He turned his head to Qiao Daoqing and said, "Mr. Annoyance went to inform Tian Hu's dead friend and Tian's family, and I will wait for Mr. in the backyard!" Speaking of the word "dead friend", I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Qiao Daoqing nodded, he had followed Tian Hu for the longest time, so he naturally knew which leaders to call to escape, look at Lu Junyi and the three of them, but whispered a few words in Tian Hu's ear, Tian Hu's face changed, and he glanced at Lu Junyi and the three of them a few times, but he didn't say anything, Qiao Daoqing turned around and left.

"Let's go!" As soon as Tian Hu finished speaking, he heard the sound of drums outside the village, and then the neat footsteps of gold and iron came from the gate of the village, thinking that the forbidden army had begun to attack.

Tian Hu sighed, walked out first, Lu Junyi and the three followed, through the front hall, to the back garden, the back garden of the Tian family manor is very wide, there are hundreds of flowers in it, strange rocks are craggy, Tian Hu walked through the rugged path, came to the rockery next to the pool, I don't know where the mechanism was pressed, the rockery creaked, retreated to both sides, revealing a dark passage, which was pitch black, and I didn't know where it went, the passage was very narrow, and only one person could pass through.

Tian Hu smiled miserably: "I thought that the passage built by the ancestors was useless, and I used to slander the ancestors of the cultivators, but now it seems that I am too unprescient, compared to this ancestor, Tian is really useless!" The words were full of helplessness and remorse.

The three of them knew that any words of consolation at this time were superfluous, so they were silent.

After being silent for a while, Lu Junyi suddenly said: "Brother Tian, I have been taken care of by you these days, thank you here!" ”

Tian Hu raised his eyes to look at Lu Junyi, his gaze was very complicated.

Seeing his expression, Lu Junyi smiled bitterly: "Brother Tian, don't blame me!" Lu is also involuntarily! ”

Tian Hu shook his head: "I don't blame you!" As soon as the words fell, he pounced on Lu Junyi, and at some point there was a sharp knife in his hand, stabbing at Lu Junyi, and shouting: "I just want your life!" ”

Lu Junyi had already taken precautions, and suddenly jumped vertically, and actually entered the passage, Tian Hu pounced in the air, and when he turned around and threw himself towards the passage, he saw that a shot suddenly stabbed out of the passage, extremely fast, Tian Hu flashed, the body of the gun grazed his left shoulder, and the red tassel of the spear head floated up, and even touched Tian Hu's left cheek, which was extremely dangerous.

Ji Sheng and Bian Xiang were all stunned, not knowing how the two of them could turn their faces and make a move, at this time Tian Hu was already furious: "Lu Junyi! I think I'm not thin on you! You were cornered by Chai Jinxiaoer, it was my Tian Hu who took you in! Fight for you and Chai Jin again! Why should you be treacherous! Betray my Tian family! ”

In the passage, Lu Junyi sighed faintly: "Brother Tian, even if I, Lu, can't stand you!" Lu has no face to see you again, but Brother Tian don't worry, I will take care of your family! This is also Wu Zhi's promise to Lu Junyi. Anyway, Tian Hu has no heirs, so it doesn't hurt that the eighty-year-old father and a wife and concubine stay.

Wu Zhi knows that this undercover agent has been working for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have some brotherly feelings with the "big brother", if Chai Jin and other gentlemen do not have this problem, but through various ways, he knows that Tian Hu is very bold. has the potential of a "big brother", and through correspondence with Lu Junyi, he also found that Lao Lu's mood was a little wrong. At the moment, he made it clear to Lu Junyi that Tian Hu must die, even if there is no Lu Junyi as an internal response, Tian Hu will definitely die, but he will die quickly, and in order to eliminate Lu Junyi's guilt, Wu Zhi promised to let Tian Hu's family have a way to live. This is also the bottom line of your king. Lu Junyi thought left and right, and knew that the matter was irreparable. If he can protect Tian Hu's family, he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Lu Junyi said sincerely. Tian Hu laughed angrily: "You have arranged all the future affairs of Tian?!" ”

Lu Junyi sighed and didn't speak again.

At this time, Yu Sheng and Bian Xiang knew that Lu Junyi was an official in the family. His heart was furious, and his mouth was scolding. picked up the big axe and pounced, Lu Junyi didn't say anything, only pierced left and right in the hole, it was a husband who was the pass, and he couldn't open it! Ji Sheng and Bian Xiangkong have a skill, but they can't get close to the passage, so they are so angry that they scream.

Tian Hu snorted coldly: "Don't let him out!" After speaking, he walked a few steps to the side, pressed the mechanism on another rockery, and with a "creak", this rockery also revealed a pitch-black passage, which was similar to the size of the passage Lu Junyi entered.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Qiao Daoqing arrived with a large number of people, and there were Tian Hu's wife and concubine, the old man and more than a dozen leaders, Qiao Daoqing saw the scene in front of him, sighed and said, "Is it really him?" ”

Tian Hu nodded hatefully, and at this time, some of Tian Hu's concubines saw the officials and couldn't help but ask what happened? Even more cried, Tian Hu was upset, and said angrily: "Shut up!" Hurry up and run for Lao Tzu's life! ”

His wife and concubine were so frightened that they hurriedly closed their voices, Qiao Daoqing knew that the matter was urgent, and he was not polite, and arranged for everyone to enter the passage, at this time Lu Junyi secretly complained, it turned out that his passage was fake, it seems that Qiao Daoqing and Tian Hu were suspicious, and deliberately opened the fake channel, causing themselves to be exposed, and now the host and guest are reversed, Lu Junyi wanted to rush out, but was stopped in the passage by the two big axes of Ji Sheng and Bian Xiangdi.

The first leader took the torch, Tian Hudi's family was in the middle, and the rest of the leaders were behind, slowly entering the passage.

At this time, the sound of fighting in Zhuangzi became more and more intense, thinking that the officers and soldiers had already attacked Zhuangzi, Tian Hu glanced at Lu Junyi in the fake passage a few times, and said to Qiao Daoqing: "Sir, go quickly!" ”

Qiao Daoqing knew that this was not the time to be polite, and said in his mouth: "Brother Tian be careful!" As he spoke, he went into the dark passage.

Tian Hu shouted to Ji Sheng and Bian Xiang: "Let's go!" Leave this guy out of the way today! Saying that, he turned around and walked towards the dark road, at this moment, Lu Junyi suddenly jumped out, and the axe of Bian Xiangdi was in the air of Lu Junyi's shoulder, and the blood burst out, Lu Junyi snorted, his body was castrated like an arrow, and the spear in his hand stabbed towards Tian Hu, Tian Hu'er heard Bian Xiang and Su Sheng's exclamation, and felt that the strong wind was coming behind him, and immediately knew that it was not good, and struggled to snatch it out, seeing that Lu Junyi's shot was about to fail, suddenly the place changed, and Lu Junyi's spear head suddenly shot out, "poof", just in the heart of Tian Hu, Tian Hu" Ahh

Ji Sheng and Bian Xiang were stunned, goodbye Lu Junyi, the flesh and blood on his left shoulder were blurred, I was afraid that Bian Xiang's axe had broken his shoulder blade, but he stood majestically, held the gun stick with one hand, looked at the two, and shouted: "You can be captured before you can tie your hands!" ”

At this time, the forbidden soldiers rushed into the garden one after another, Su Sheng and Bian Xiang saw that the situation was not good, no longer in love, the two looked at each other, and saw Lu Junyi standing next to Tian Hu's corpse, knowing that it was hopeless to snatch back the corpse, gritted his teeth, jumped into the secret passage, and then disappeared.

Lu Junyi saw that the two of them had entered the secret passage, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly sat down on the ground, if the two joined forces, he was afraid that Lu Junyi would be split in half in a few moves, but the two of them were intimidated by Lu Junyi's momentum, and saw that Lu Junyi had a lot of tricks, and the forbidden soldiers also rushed into the garden, not daring to fight, and actually let go of the great opportunity to avenge Tian Hu.
