Chapter Seventy-One: Escape
"How's it going over there?" Honghong asked timidly.
"The war was unfavorable, the morale of the battalion was low, and the defense did not seem to be very tight. Under your kissing and caring teaching, I want to melt the words of Master Wang in my blood and put them into action. Regardless of what's going on, in order to do something big, tomorrow night, I decided to let it go, even if I was broken, I would definitely find a way to complete the master's mission and assassinate Cheng Jia. Zhong Wuregret said heroically with a look of discouragement.
After finishing speaking, Zhong Wuregret took out a piece of copper seal and handed it to Honghong: "If I don't come back at dawn after I leave tomorrow night, you can quickly take this copper seal and escape, and after returning to the royal city, you can go to Zhongfu with the copper seal to ask for a large sum of silver, and then ask the people in the mansion to flee for their lives." I can't take care of you, but you can still live a dull life with this silver tael. ”
Honghong looked at the man who was about to be sent to death by himself with teary eyes, and choked up: "Why are you so good to Honghong? ”
"Half of a man is a woman, and what is good to you is good to myself, you know? Don't be sad. Zhong Wuregret said, gently kissing away the tears in the corners of his red eyes with his mouth.
At this moment, Honghong really collapsed.
She almost confided the truth to Zhong Wuregret, but when the words came to her lips, she held back, the ancients' responsibility was at least a thousand times stronger than that of the current countrymen.
At this time, Honghong only thought that after completing this mission, she would kill herself in front of Zhong Wuregret's grave, which could be regarded as a reward for his kindness.
Zhong Wuregret said: "Do it tomorrow night and have a good rest." And he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhong fell asleep without regrets, and Honghong also fell asleep groggily on his pillow.
However, when she awoke, she found herself lying comfortably in the carriage, staggering down the road.
"Where is this?" Honghong sat up with a scream.
Zhong Wuxian smiled and sat in front of her and said, "This is on the carriage." After you slept last night, I thought about it for a long time, we shouldn't be the sacrifice of ****, so I ran away, it's as simple as that. ”
"What **** sacrifice?" Honghong roared.
"You say that your father and mother are criminals, who condemns them? If you can form a jury at that time, and this jury includes civilians and ministers, but it must be the people who elect upright people, so that they can listen to your parents' complaints, and then judge whether your father and mother are guilty, and report their judgment to the officials who decided the case, so that it is much fairer to judge whether your father and mother are guilty?
Don't even give your father and mother a chance to appeal, saying that they are criminals is criminals? Maybe they are the most loyal ministers, but if they say something that the king doesn't want to hear, they think that the guilty minister is killed, and the result of the conviction will be borne by the next generation, is this fair? It would have been ridiculous to convict you, and you still have to be grateful if you didn't die, where did this bullshit come from. Zhong Wuregret said angrily.
Zhong Wuregret's words, not to mention Honghong, that is, at that time, anyone would think that it was a great rebellion, but the Spring and Autumn Period was the most open era in China for thousands of years. Therefore, although Zhong's words are regarded as heresy, they are also regarded as an expression of thought.
Although she felt that Zhong Wuregret's words were very reasonable, as soon as Honghong remembered her responsibility, she subconsciously reached out and drew her sword, and she only found out at this time that all the weapons on her body had been confiscated, and there was nothing in the car except pillows and bedding.
Honghong was actually under house arrest in a carriage.
"Let me out!" Honghong shouted.
Zhong Wuregret put away the great image of "****" on weekdays, and said with a straight face: "Honghong, do you know, I am here to save you, loyalty does not mean foolish loyalty, you will understand in the future." ”
Zhong Wuregret ignored Honghong's shout, and instead urged the carriage to speed forward.
It turned out that Zhong Wuregret told Honghong that he would assassinate Cheng Jia the next night, but in fact, he quietly escaped that night, he was worried that Honghong would use incense, but in fact, he used incense at night, and took her to Wangcheng desperately while Honghong was asleep.
Since Ziyi and Cheng Jia's oaths have been incompatible, one side will end up with the death of the other, and there is no need for him to stay at the scene, isn't there an alibi in modern criminology?
Thinking of Cheng Jia and the killer of the "Red Mansion", maybe they were fighting to the death, Zhong Wuregret hummed the joke unfeelingly: "I stood in the city tower and watched the mountain scenery, and I heard the chaos outside the city. The banner was flipped in the air, but it turned out to be a soldier sent by Sima ......"
Just as he was proud, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Zhong Wuregret looked up, only to see Du Juan standing in front of the carriage with Lan Lan and four other assassins.
Du Juan Jiao smiled and said, "Lord Zhong is in a good mood! ”
Zhong Wuregret was dumbfounded.
The cuckoo still smiled and said, "You should go to assassinate Cheng Jia tonight, why did you get on the way back to the royal city?" ”
Zhong Wuregret got out of the carriage in a dashing manner, and asked without changing his face, "How do you know that I am going to assassinate Lord Ling Yin?" ”
The cuckoo looked at Zhong Wuregret and said, "Lord Zhong is so courageous, he is so calm when he dies. In order for you to die in peace, I will tell you.
We are Ziyi and Gongzixie's people, you thief is just a ghost for the dead, and the real assassination of Cheng Jia is our Red Mansion's people. After Cheng Jia dies, we will leave your dead body at the scene. Don't look at you running away now, after killing you, I will take your corpse to Chengjia.
King Chu's red man assassinated Lord Ling Yin, what does this mean? It shows that the king of Chu wants to cut off the power of the Ruo Ao clan.
In this way, if the Ao family will not give up, when they make a rebellion, the king's master Ziyi and Gongzi Xie will be prepared, they will send troops to suppress the rebellion, so that the military and political power of the Chu State will return to the hands of the master of the king of Chu. And it won't fall into the hands of the Ruo Ao family, you know? Whoopy thief! ”
"How do you know I'll go back to the royal city?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
Du Juan Jiao laughed and said: "Your every move is in our eyes, you came out of the Cheng Jiashuai camp last night, thinking we don't know?" If it weren't for collusion with Cheng Jia, you, a whore, would have the guts to assassinate him? It's strange if you don't run. ”
Zhong Wuregret, who heard her words, was shocked in his heart, no wonder the killers of the Red Mansion were so powerful, their energy was not small! Even Ling Yin Chengjia has their people around him, who knows how many of them still lurk in the royal city.
"Will you come with me obediently, or will you let us take the dead with you?" Cuckoo asked.
Who knew that Zhong Wuregret said with a lewd smile: "Why don't you go back to the royal city with me, I have admired the cuckoo girl for a long time." ”
Du Juan sighed: "When I first met in Juanhualou, I thought that although you were ****, you were a rare talent, but as an official of the court, you didn't dare to speak for a weak old man, and insulted me at the Ziyi banquet first, today, you have to accept your fate." on, whether life or death! ”
Cuckoo ordered the four killers.
"Lan Lan, Honghong is your good sister, you don't care if he lives or dies." When Zhong Wuregret spoke, a few people appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Honghong, who had just woken up, and put the knife on her neck.
"And the cuckoo, for the sake of helping the old and sympathizing with the weak, you can still save a life when you go back to the city with me, and you die like this, I think it's a pity, sixteen, seven, eighty-one flowers, you still have a long time to enjoy the good years of life, how about it?" Zhong said regretfully.
The cuckoo didn't even look at Honghong, but still ordered: "Do you think a few more helpers can save your life?" Honghong will pay for your life if she dies, and no one will be left. ”
"In that case, I have no choice but to kill." Zhong Wuregret drew his sword.
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice came from behind the cuckoo: "My lord, retreat, with us, we will never let their tricks succeed." ”
It turned out that Cheng Jia sent two teams of clan soldiers who secretly protected Zhong Wuregret to appear.
The cuckoo smiled slightly: "You guys just added to my killing, you can't blame me." ”
Cheng Jia's clan soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, how can they take these people in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, none of these clan soldiers under the cuckoo had fought for three rounds, and in the blink of an eye, all ten of them had fallen in a pool of blood.
At this time, Zhong Wuregret knew that his judgment that Du Juan could not do martial arts was very wrong.
Zhong Wuregret completely swept away the usual obscenity like a thief at this time, holding the sword in his hand, cold like a rock, his body revealed a contemptuous pride of everything, the cuckoo who saw it couldn't help but be surprised, and when he saw Zhong Wuregret's posture with a sword, he already knew that they all looked down on Zhong Wuregret, but she thought that there was a follow-up killing, and she did not hesitate to order the assassin to step forward.
As soon as the assassins attacked, they attacked Zhong Wuregret with all their might.
At this time, Doulan took Lan Lan, and a captain took an assassin. The two assassins who attacked Zhong Wuregret only took two photos and died under Zhong Wuregret's sword.
Du Juan is actually the assassin with the highest martial arts skills in the "Juan Hua" building, but it is inconvenient to come forward, so he takes "mourning" as the first assassin.
I thought that those two assassins with good martial arts skills would be more than enough to clean up Zhong Wuregret, but I didn't expect Zhong Wuregret's sword to be so powerful.
When the cuckoo saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward, and her sword attacked Zhong Wuregret like a torrential rain, and Zhong Wuregret seemed to be struggling to deal with it. In the cuckoo's rapid sword moves, a strange qi appeared from time to time, and this qi gradually strengthened from weak, like a silk cocoon, slowly wrapping Zhong Wuregret. The space for Zhong Wuregret to attack is getting smaller and smaller.
Despite this, at this time, it was the cuckoo that was extremely shocked.
Her attack covered Zhong Wuregret like a rain curtain, and attacked from all directions like raindrops, as long as Zhong Wuregret made the slightest mistake, he would be injured by the sword. However, Zhong Wuregret's defense was like a rapidly turning umbrella, and the raindrops that he touched were instantly spun aside.
When the cuckoo saw that the situation was wrong, he gritted his teeth, and then he used the last kill, infiltrating the "Taiyin Charm Gong" in the sword move. This "Taiyin Charm Skill" is unique to female assassins, but it is extremely harmful to use it.
"The kidneys are the foundation of innateness."
"Taiyin Charm Gong" requires the innate qi in the woman's body as the source, and the acquired qi is the guide, once it is performed, it will continue to gush out, and, just like the dam collapses, the breach is getting bigger and bigger, and the qi is becoming more and more turbulent, this kind of charm will follow the sword move, entangle the opponent, so that the opponent is exhausted, and finally be wrapped like a silkworm cocoon and unable to move, so as to die under the sword.
But if you meet a strong opponent, you may die of exhaustion first.
It was the first time for Du Juan to perform this kind of kung fu, and in her impression, it seemed that she was also the first person to perform this kind of kung fu in the "Red Mansion". After this kind of kung fu is performed, even if the opponent is killed, she can only live as an ordinary woman from now on. As soon as the weather machine is broken, the qi practiced by the day after tomorrow will be like water without a source, and it can only dry up day by day.
It is said that if you perform this kind of exercise, you will die a very miserable death, and before you die, you are like an old tree bark, and your whole body is full of deep wrinkles. Rather than this, it is better to die now. In particular, it is more difficult for beautiful women to accept the old ugliness they will face.
Cuckoo's offensive against Zhong Wuregret has reached her extreme.
As soon as she saw Zhong Wuregret revealing her defeat, Doulan immediately attacked with a sword desperately, she completely disregarded her own safety, and it was all a killing move that ended up together.
Cuckoo's main task is to kill Zhong without regrets and will not fight with Doulan.
The cuckoo forced Doulan back, and suddenly the sword momentum stopped, holding the sword and pointing at the bell without regrets, but he did not launch an offensive.
At this time, she saw that Lan Lan had died and another assassin had fallen to the side.
The cuckoo shouted angrily: "Honghong! ”
Honghong glanced at Zhong Wuregret sadly, and a spell-like murmur came out of her mouth.
