In the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sima stood in the courtyard and meditated on the full moon.

From the time he was rescued by the Cao Gang to the chaos in Jinling, he thought that he would be more and more eager to be free. But now, he suddenly feels that whether he is free or not has nothing to do with his current situation.

"Brother Sima, look...... What the hell is going to happen to this thing? Xiao Ling on the side was a little anxious, he was worried about his own safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was worried about the affairs of the palace, the whole person was a little haggard, these two days were also the "hardship" he had never experienced in his life, which made him unbearable.

"What to do?" Sima glanced sideways at Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling first made a silent gesture and looked at the Cao Gang brothers standing in the courtyard, which means that I am still a hostage, and if I discuss it loudly, someone will find out.

"After you leave Jinling and leave the Qi Dynasty, will you ...... I have a chance, I can ...... Can it ......"

When Sima saw Xiao Ling's appearance, he knew that Xiao Ling at this time was actually more concerned about his own life.

He was born glorious, and he has never been in such a situation as he is today, for fear that he will be killed and wiped out, or he will be transported to the Wei Dynasty like Yang Xi, and then any fame and wealth will become floating clouds, and he may not even see the sun in the second half of his life.

Sima Yi said a little absent-mindedly: "King Hui, the Cao Gang and Jiang are here, and they can't be sent by Xia, and these things can't be guaranteed to you from Xia." ”

"Then you can tell me too, you see...... Brother Sima, we've known each other for a while, and I'll treat you well, right? Can you talk about it and let them ...... Let me go? ”

Sima Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Even if I let you go." Where can you go now? ”

Xiao Ling thought about it, but couldn't answer for a while.

Now Jinling City can be said to be in chaos, whether Xie Rumo and his party will succeed or not, no one knows, whether Zhu Tongjing transferred the soldiers and horses back, and whether the soldiers and horses can be rescued in time, is also unclear. The small courtyard is like a closed space, and every bit of news outside can only be transmitted through a few words from Dong Sheng or Da Xiliu.

And Dong Sheng and Da Xiliu, after appearing with Xiao Zhan once. There has been no news for three or four hours.

to the second half of the night. The courtyard was breezy and breezy, and Xiao Ling couldn't get Sima Yi's help, so she had to curl up in the corner, and the whole person was almost shrunk into a ball to keep out the cold.

"His Royal Highness King Hui. It's cold outside. As...... Go inside. At this time, Qiansu Oak came over. said a word to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling glanced up at Qian Sulu, his expression was very complicated, this was the beautiful woman he had been thinking about for a long time. Unexpectedly, he was also stunned by this beauty and was taken here as a hostage. He felt a little sad in his heart, shook his head very arrogantly, and continued to shrink in the corner and tremble.

Sima glanced at Xiao Ling and said to Qian Suli: "There is Miss Lao Qian, go inside and get a piece of clothing and put it on him." ”

"The slave's clothes are ......" Qian Suli was a little embarrassed, after all, as a daughter's family, even if she prepared clothes for today's escape, they were all women's clothes, and they had never been prepared for Xiao Ling. And Xiao Ling was kidnapped, so naturally she won't bring any replacement clothes.

"It's a nuisance." A brother from the Cao Gang suddenly came over next to him, took a thick winter coat out of nowhere, threw it directly to Xiao Ling, and said, "Well, the body is not good, go inside, freeze to death outside, we are not responsible!" ”

As soon as Xiao Ling heard this, he immediately threw his clothes on the ground and shouted, "Have you ever heard that the poor are not fed by the mouthful?" ”

His shouting also stirred up the fire of the Cao Gang brothers.

"Hey, you kid, we don't care what you are. In the realm of the Cao Gang, the words of the big boss are much more effective than the emperor's holy decree. If you don't accept it, we'll chop you up and feed it to the dogs. ”

Xiao Ling was still standing up aggressively, but when he heard this, he regained his mind. He shrank there with his head down, and then simply squatted down again and picked up his clothes.

From this point, Sima Yi found that although Xiao Ling had some "backbone", he also knew what it was to be a good man who did not suffer immediate losses. Now it is clear that he was kidnapped by a group of unreasonable people in the rivers and lakes, and he will not get along with his body.

Xiao Ling stopped at this side, and Sima Yi said to Qian Suqi: "Miss Qian, it's cold today, if you are tired, you might as well go inside to rest first." When we depart, we will depart together. ”

"Thank you Sima Gongzi for your kindness, the slave family understands it. Can...... The little woman didn't feel tired. ”

Sima Yu knew that Qiansu Quercus had not rested well in the past two days. He didn't understand why Qiansu Oak had a good life, but he had to mix with the Cao Gang, but now he understood that Qian Su Oak didn't want to stay in Jiangnan, but wanted to go to the north. He didn't know if it had anything to do with Han Jian.

He already knew before that all he was concerned about in Qiansu Oak's heart was Han Jian, who had appeared in Jinling City and single-handedly established the Cao Gang. Originally, he didn't understand, but after a year of accumulation, he gradually understood many things.

Before dawn, there was finally footsteps outside the door, and at this time, Xiao Ling was still cowering in the corner and falling asleep, and in the entire courtyard, only Xiao Ling could fall asleep on such a night.

"Bang Bang Bang!" There were three knocks on the door, but it was not someone from the Cao Gang who knocked on the door.

For a while, the small courtyard became nervous. The moon had set in the west, the sky was still dark, and it was the darkest time of the day. At this time, any abnormal movement makes people feel a little depressing.

The brothers of the Cao Gang also picked up the guy and looked in the direction of the door. To Sima Yi's surprise, there was no light to illuminate the visitors, and there was no movement outside visible through the crack in the door.

Sima Yu thought to himself, is it the same as yesterday, just someone knocks on the door, and no one will leave?

"Open the door!" A deep man's voice came from outside.

Sima Yi glanced at the Cao Gang brothers, obviously very unfamiliar with this voice.

Sima Yi said something in Qian Su Li's ear, and Qian Su Li said aloud: "Who is outside?" Not up yet. ”

"How can you talk in the courtyard if you don't get up?" Outside, it was still the thick man's voice.

Sima took advantage of the moment to make an order to climb over the wall to the Cao Gang brothers, although the sky was dark, the Cao Gang brothers did not seem to be just peddlers and pawns, and two people jumped directly on the wall. But as soon as they reached the wall, they were shot by arrows, and with a whimper, the two rolled off the wall.

"Ahh Xiao Ling let out an exclamation, breaking the pre-dawn calm.

Taking advantage of the panic in the courtyard, there was also a knock on the door outside. Sima guessed that the person who came was not a good person, but wanted to kill people and kill people. Who it was, whether it was Xie Rumo's people, Zhu Tongjing, or the Northern Dynasty, he didn't know anything at all.

"You ...... Walk in the backyard. At this time, the Cao Gang brothers were also righteous first, and stepped forward to block the direction of the door, intending to block the intruders who were about to break down the door.

At this time, there was a sound of fighting at the door. Only then did Sima remember that Dong Sheng had said before leaving, and he had sent someone to watch outside. It was thought that the Cao gang had a fight with the intruder.

"Brother Sima, who is here?" Xiao Ling completely regarded Sima Yi as a backer at this time and hid behind Sima Yi. At this time, Sima Yi just picked up the flat shoulder by the door, although he had learned the sword, but he was injured and had no blade, and he didn't know if he could handle it.

"Where do I know that?" Sima said impatiently, remembering that he was always ridiculed by Han Jian before, saying that his martial arts were "three-legged cat kung fu", and he didn't believe in evil before, but he knew very well that he couldn't compare with the martial arts of a famous family like Han Jian, and many of his swordsmanship were only from family traditions, and they were not systematic at all.

The sound of the fight outside was a little intense, and there were only six Cao Gang brothers in the courtyard, and there were two fewer at once, and the other four did not dare to act rashly, but just looked at the door vigilantly.

"Open the door, kill out, and take the initiative." Sima shouted with his mind.

The brothers of the Cao Gang couldn't help but admire Sima Yi a little bit, but in this case, Sima Yi was still able to calm down, and they were a little unexpected. Originally, they all thought that Sima Yu was just a rich boy, relying on the support of the king of the east.

Sima borrowed the support of the Cao Gang brothers, and when the Cao Gang brothers were about to open the door, they suddenly saw a white figure appear from the wall and fall into the crowd like a flutter. Sima Yi was shocked at first, and after confirming that this white figure was friend or foe, he suddenly thought, could it be Han Jian's master Fa Yi?

"Die, you guys!" There was another woman's shouting outside. This voice is not unfamiliar, but it is Ke Qu'er, who was escorted by Han Jian all the way on his way.

Sima Yu screamed bitterly in his heart, although he had not seen Ke Qu'er's martial arts with his own eyes, he also knew that it was not something that his "three-legged cat kung fu" could deal with. In his eyes, Ke Qu'er is definitely an enemy, and it is estimated that Ke Qu'er is here to take revenge.

"You go first!" The sound of fighting outside gradually weakened, and Sima Yi had a feeling of impending disaster. I couldn't help but think of the person who rescued Ke Qu'er in the first place, and thought, could it be that the white figure is Ke Qu'er's master, Master Zuogu?

"Do you still want to escape?" The door slammed open with a bang. It was Ke Qu'er who spoke.

Two graceful figures stood in the direction of the doorway, and in front of them was a corpse.

Most of these corpses were dressed in black and masked, and Sima Yi could not guess their origins.

The people in the courtyard all looked like they were about to go up and try the skills of Master Zuogu's master and apprentice.

"Hey, I'm here to save you, not the bad guys." Ke Qu'er's face was not veiled, and she was just an ordinary man's shirt, not women's clothes or night clothes.

"Miss Ke, it's been a long time." Sima Yi didn't believe that Ke Qu'er came to help them, after all, he had formed a deep bond before.

Ke Qu'er snorted lightly and said, "The general trend of Jinling City has been decided, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave if you want to." Hey, are you going or not leaving? ”

At this time, there was a light in the distance, but someone came with a torch, and when he got closer, Sima Yi knew that it was Da Xiliu and the people from the Cao Gang who came over. (To be continued......)
