Chapter 199: False Order
Everyone stopped, all looking for prestige, and they were all stunned on the spot, it was not the army that came from the direction of Chang'an City, but a guard drove the carriage to come, and there was no movement in Chang'an City, which looked quite weird, even Li Dao and Guo Yan were confused and didn't know why.
The guard drove the carriage into the encirclement, and no one stopped him, no matter how he said it, it was from Chang'an City, and he could stop the people and horses in the city, it should have been sent by the big man, where did they dare to stop it.
When the carriage was about to reach Ma Chao's side, it suddenly stopped, and the guard jumped out of the carriage and said loudly: "The lord decrees that if Zhao Yun leaves Chang'an City for a mile, regardless of life or death, he will be released immediately, and no harm will be done."
"Is that what the lord said?"
Li Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, a little suspicious, according to his understanding of Xu Zisheng, it was impossible to open up to Zhao Yunwang, for fear that he would carry the black cauldron, Li Dao then asked: "What are the credentials?" ”
"No credentials."
The guards were a little lacking in confidence, and then as if they thought of something, they straightened their backs and said, "This is conveyed by Lin Taishou himself." ”
"Lin Taishou?"
Li Dao frowned slightly, naturally knowing that this Lin Taishou was Xu Zisheng's sworn brother Lin Zhou, in this way, there was some credibility, but Li Dao still had some doubts in his heart, turned his head sideways and whispered to Guo Yan, "Do you think you can believe it?" ”
Guo Yan hesitated for a while, and then replied in a deep voice: "I think it's credible, I remember this guard, he is considered a henchman of Linzhou, and he shouldn't be fake." ”
"Then let Zhao Zilong leave like this?" Li Dao said unwillingly.
"Can you still disobey?"
Guo Yan was naturally a little unwilling, but he still had to give in, and glanced at Zhao Yun, who was seriously injured and dying, Guo Yan comforted himself and said to Li Wei: "The current Zhao Yun is not far from death, maybe he will die on the road, why should he disobey the lord for a dead man." ”
"That's right."
Thinking about it this way, Li Dao was much more relaxed, and then ordered: "Get out of the way and let them go." ”
"No."
The rest of the soldiers agreed happily, and hurriedly packed up their weapons and made way for a way, so that they could not fight against Ma Chao and Xu Huang and others, which was naturally what they wanted.
"Let's go."
Although Ma Chao was a little surprised, he didn't see anything wrong, so he ordered his subordinates to help Zhao Yun into the carriage, and escorted the carriage away with Xu Huang and others.
At first, Ma Chao and Xu Huang were a little wary, but after walking for a while and leaving the encirclement, they immediately rode their horses and galloped away, planning to run for a while and find a safe place for simple treatment.
Li Dao and Guo Yan did not stay, and took their subordinates directly to Chang'an to return.
At this time, in the palace hall of Chang'an City, Xu Zisheng's eyes were full of anger staring at the kneeling figure of His Royal Highness.
"Confused."
Xu Zisheng suddenly slapped the table and roared, blushing and shouting: "You are letting the tiger return to the mountain, and sooner or later you will be harmed by it." ”
"Zhao Zilong will also show mercy to our subordinates in the future." Lin Zhou said in a deep voice.
"Mercy? Ha ha. ”
Xu Zisheng suddenly burst out laughing, and continued to sneer and said, "I need his subordinates to show mercy? An invincible person like me, who has never been defeated, where is the opportunity to let his subordinates show mercy, and why do you believe that a Zhao Zilong who was almost forced to death by me will show mercy to my subordinates? ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhou stared at Xu Zisheng and said solemnly: "Because, he is, Zhao Zilong." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zisheng's expression became gloomy, and he squinted at Lin Zhou, not knowing what he was thinking, and the hall became silent.
It was at this time that as soon as he entered Chang'an, he rode his horse and galloped into the palace, and Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were going to receive the reward, came to the outside of the palace, sorted out the armor on their bodies a little, and the two entered side by side, and half knelt in His Royal Highness, Guo Yan took the lead in holding his fists and said: "We are insulting to the mission, and we did not leave Zhao Zilong within one mile, but let the lord keep the covenant and let Zhao Zilong leave, and ask the lord to punish the crime." ”
Although he said that he was pleading, Guo Yan's face was full of joy, after all, Zhao Yun was also seriously injured and dying, so he had to reward them anyway.
"Please?"
Xu Zisheng's face was very ugly, he sat back in his seat, tapped lightly on the bookcase, and said contemptally: "You two should indeed ask for guilt, and you dare to let Zhao Zilong leave alive without my order." ”
In an instant, Li Dao and Guo Bi were like lightning strikes, and looked at Xu Zisheng in shock, and then Li Wei just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but was gently bumped by Guo Bi, Li Wei turned his head to look, only to see Guo Bi pale and looked at Lin Zhou with his eyes, and suddenly Li Wei understood everything, and hurriedly knelt down with Guo Bi and begged for mercy: "I don't know that Lin Taishou kept the false order, and I hope that the lord will forgive the sin." ”
"Forgiveness?"
Xu Zisheng turned his head to look at Lin Zhou, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, do you think I should forgive them?" ”
"It's not their fault, it's enough to blame me." Linzhou noodles do not change the color of the road.
Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in Li Dao and Guo Yan's eyes, and their resentment towards Lin Zhou should be much less, as long as Lin Zhou is willing to take the blame himself, it is none of their business.
"Oh?"
The corners of Xu Zisheng's mouth twitched, waved his hand at Li Dao and Guo Yan, and said extremely calmly: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to do with you, and someone will bring a reward later, so retreat." ”
"No."
Not only was he not convicted for this, but there was a reward later, Li Dao and Guo Yan hurriedly thanked him and left, where did they dare to stay here, in case Xu Zisheng changed his hexagram, it would be miserable.
After the two left, Xu Zisheng restrained the anger in his eyes, slowly got up, walked down the hall, walked to Lin Zhou's side, gently helped him up, sighed and said: "Brother Lin, it's not that the eldest brother said you, this is a troubled time, and you can't tolerate mercy to your subordinates, if you are an ordinary person, you can let it go, and the eldest brother will not say anything, but Zhao Zilong is really a hidden danger, and sooner or later it will become a big trouble for us, making it difficult for us to sleep." ”
"Yes."
Lin Zhou will no longer be stupid enough to confront Xu Zisheng, this is no different from seeking death, it can be seen from Zhao Yun's matter that as long as he disobeys Xu Zisheng's wishes, he will definitely die.
"It's good that you understand what it means to be a brother."
Xu Zisheng patted Lin Zhou's shoulder lightly, and then walked in the direction of the inner hall, and when he walked outside the inner hall, he stopped and reminded coldly: "Don't take it as an example, and then borrow my name to give orders in the future, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood." ”
"No."
Lin Zhou agreed, and watched Xu Zisheng enter the inner hall, but his heart was like a mirror, knowing that he would never be able to get Xu Zisheng's complete trust in the future.
laughed self-deprecatingly, and Lin Zhou left immediately.
