Chen Pan was not polite, and walked up the steps in a few steps: "Father Xiang is not at ease, send me to take a look first." Who's gone, it won't be Zhao Wuxian, right? ”

"Zhao Shizi fled, and I have ordered the whole city to search for him." Yu An's gaze crossed Chen Pan and fell on me, I couldn't help but clench my fists, and he frowned.

"It's really gone, how is this possible? Didn't you say he had been bedridden for months? How can a wretched man escape from under your noses? When did you escape, must you have already escaped from the city? Chen Pan walked around the room, and his face rarely showed a panicked look.

Yu An didn't panic, his whole person was as cold as the blue snow of the winter dawn. I walked to the bottom of the steps step by step, he stared into my eyes, and said, "Don't worry, he can't escape." ”

"It's better not to escape." Chen Pan glanced at me, and his face was gloomy.

"The affairs of the Zhao family will be dealt with by Handan Jun in the future, and it is inconvenient for Chen Shizi to stay here, so it is better to leave quickly. The monarch has another urgent call, so he will take his leave first! Yu An raised his hand and saluted Chen Pan, turned around and hurriedly walked down the steps with the guards. I looked at his face without blinking, but he walked past me indifferently and didn't look at me again.

"What the hell is going on?" After Yu An left, Chen Pan suddenly shouted at a servant kneeling in the corner of the room.

I have a vague impression of the appearance of the servant, it should be the person who served Zhao Ying in the Zhao Mansion in the past, he knelt a few steps forward, and said to Chen Pan respectfully: "Yu Shizi, the people were still there last night, and the Asian Brigade came to kill him, and the sword was on his throat, but Zhao Shizi was stunned and did not move." When it was almost dawn, there was some chaos outside, and the guards couldn't bear to go out to take a look, but when they turned around, the people on the bed were gone. ”

"Rubbish! Is Zhao Wuxian really paralyzed or fake paralyzed, they are blind, are you also blind? ”

"The crime of enslavement to death—" The servant shuddered and fell to the ground.

Chen Pan clenched his fists and took two steps back and forth in the room, and said sharply: "Let me ask you again, have the sect masters and sect sons of the Han family and the Wei family been killed?" ”

"Yushizi, the person has been arrested, but he is not dead. Handan Jun and the Asian Brigade said that they would wait for the king's order to kill again. The servant fell to the ground and trembled.

"Monarch's order? It's come to this point, and the two of them still want to respect the monarch and honor the courtesy, and make meritorious contributions to the king. Oh, monarchs, ministers, whether it is etiquette or false name. Chen Pan smiled sarcastically, turned his head to Chen and said, "Master Chen, the situation has changed, let's get out of the city quickly!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Ah Su jumped in front of the servant in a few steps and asked urgently, "In the past few days when you have been by Zhao Wuxian's side, have you ever seen a person named Zhang Mengtan come to him?" ”

The servant raised his head from the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Huisu, as soon as Zhao Ying died, Zhao Wuxian was placed under house arrest here, and there were few people who came to see him, and there was no one named Zhang Mengtan. ”

"Impossible, if he hadn't died, he would definitely come to Zhao Wuxian. Think again! Before Zhao Ying's death, did you see a tall and thin man with a gentle face and a large burn on the back of his right hand in the mansion? ”

"This ......"

"You've seen it, haven't you? Say it! Ah Su put one hand on the servant's shoulder.

The servant was in pain, grinning for a while, and his face was as white as washing: "Hui, Huisu girl, at the funeral of the prime minister, Tai Shimo brought in a witch man with a burned hand, and the witch lived in the house for a few days, and then he didn't know where to go." ”

"He's not dead, he's alive." Ah Su listened to the servant's words and let go of his shoulder, her eyelids trembled slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, as if she wanted to cry, the corners of her mouth just overflowed with a faint smile, which was immediately replaced by boundless sadness, "He peeked at my secret letter, he is really a liar, he has deceived me for so long......"

Chen Pan walked to Ah Su's side and gently hugged her shoulder, Ah Su's eyelids moved and rolled down two lines of tears, Chen Pan's hand holding her shoulder tightened, and said softly: "Okay, don't be sad, find him and ask again, if he is really ruthless, hand him over to me, don't get your hands dirty." Since Zhang Mengtan had seen Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Wuxian must have already known Handan Jun's plan, and once the two of them escaped, they would definitely fight to get out of the city. Rather than risk waiting in the city, you should go out with me. ”

"Well, let's go out of town and wait for him. Little sister-" Ah Su nodded, reached out to pull me, I took a step back, she was confused: "What's the matter, are you happy and stupid?" Zhao Wuxian was not here, he didn't die, he fled. Let's get out of the city and find them! ”

I didn't respond to Ah Su, I just stared at Chen Pan beside her and said, "I have never understood why four thousand slaves can control the entire Xinjiang City, and why the thousands of households in the city are closed. Now I finally understand that the Marquis of Jin was not coerced, he was also involved in this matter, and he wanted to kill Siqing through the hands of Yu An and my father, right? ”

Chen Pan glanced at Ah Su and nodded, "You guessed right." A few years ago, the prince of Jin chiseled a secret letter to the Marquis of Qi and his father, begging them to send troops to help destroy Siqing, so your father is not a traitor, but a hero. After the matter is completed, he enters the court and becomes the emperor, and you are the daughter of Zhengqing, which is unspeakably expensive. ”

"Siqing is not guilty, he was killed for no reason, where does the merit come from?"

"Return to the government and the marquis, and the fame will be given by the monarch."

"Hahaha, it's really ridiculous to say this from your Chen Pan's mouth. Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Yu An and my father's merit is not to kill Siqing, but to use your Chen soldiers to exterminate the 4,000 slaves who entered the city to 'burn, kill, loot, and mutilate the Qing clan', right? Chen Pan frowned and was silent, I sneered and said: "The following offenses, it is a great disrespect to be cheap, and the Marquis of Jin will not give these people free bodies against the courtesy." The thief and his slave army are your sword for killing, and after killing Siqing for you, it is time to become your foot again. The bones of 4,000 people will be stacked up, which is enough for you to ascend to the sky, and enough for me to be unspeakably precious. ”

"Father Xiang is right, women are too smart, and it's really not a good thing." Chen Pan looked at me with a cold face.

Ah Su hurriedly stepped forward and said to me, "Little sister, you can go out of the city with us!" If you want to achieve great things, you must sacrifice, you should understand this truth. ”

"No, sister, I don't understand, slaves are also human beings, and they desperately enter the city to be free, not sacrificed. The dignified monarch did not believe in his words, and the bandits made a promise of money, which is more expensive and which is cheap, and I finally saw it clearly today. ”

"Little sister, is it time to say all this nonsense? If you want to stay and save those slaves, sooner or later you will die. Your death is your decision, don't bother the child in your womb. Meng Tan is not dead, Zhao Wuxian must have gone out of the city to move the rescue troops now, do you want to stay in the city and cross him across the city wall, and you can't see each other even from the flames of war? ”

Ah Su hid her kindness and warmth in her bones, and she was easily not seen, so I used to be afraid of her, prevent her, and harm her, but now I am moved by her sincerity.

"Sister, I understand what you say, but I can't watch the thief and his brothers die, Xiao Ya'er will understand me, and Wuxian will understand me. I won't die, and I won't let the city of Xinjiang be full of bones. ”

"Stupid people, those slaves were already dead when they entered the city, and you can't save them." Chen Pan said coldly.

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work?"

"Miss Ashi, I really rarely admire anyone in my life, you are one. It's a pity that although you have seven tricks in your heart, you can't see through the destiny of heaven. Walking against the sky, it is difficult to have a good end. ”

"'Phoenix Yu Fei, and Ming Qiang Qiang, after being a concubine, will be bred in Jiang, the fifth Qichang, and in Shangqing; After the eighth generation, Mo Zhi was in Beijing. 'The Chen family has a destiny, but there are a thousand roads in the world, are you sure that the path you are taking now is the right one?' If you take a fork in the road, you'll never reach that end. ”

"You ......"

"Whether the two sect masters of the Han family and the Wei family and the sect son are dead, Chen Shizi is very concerned. But why don't you ask Zhi's alone? Isn't it more important whether Zhiyao, who is Zhengqing, is alive or dead? I looked at Chen Pan with bated breath, hoping that he would defend himself, and also hoping that the terrible guess in my heart was not true.

Chen Pan looked at me for a long time and didn't say anything, and after a while, he turned his head to Chen and said, "Master Chen, let her stay, let's go." ”

"Little sister—" Ah Su tugged at my hand and became more and more anxious.

I sighed in my heart and hugged Ah Su, who hugged me tightly with both hands: "Little sister, let's go!" ”

"Sister A......" I buried my head in Ah Su's ear and whispered, "You go quickly, after you get out of the city, don't stay by Chen Pan's side, go farther, Mr. Zhang will find you." ”

Ah Su looked up at me in surprise when she heard this, and I squeezed her hand heavily: "Sister, thank you." Let's go, Mr. Zhang is waiting for you. ”

"Alright, let's go!" Chen Pan pulled Ah Su and walked outside the courtyard, walked to the gate of the courtyard and turned back to urge Chen Wei. Shirtless was gone, and he was more anxious than any of us.

Chen Wei stood motionless in place, he heard Chen Pan call him, but he strode towards me: "I'll stay and accompany you to find the thief." ”

"Big brother ......" Chen Yi's eyes were filled with deep sorrow, I knew what he was thinking at this moment, so I was both moved and distressed in my heart. A gentleman, a bandit, two people who were originally different from each other looked surprisingly like each other in the face of life and death.

"Chen Reverse! It's not up to you to go, it's not up to you to stay, don't forget your oath! Chen Pan looked at Chen Rei's back and shouted angrily.

Chen Wei's face instantly lost its color in Chen Pan's roar. For some people, their oath is not a word, but a chain tied to the heart. The chains tightened, and he was in pain.

"Big brother, it's okay." I smiled at Chen Wei and stretched out my hand to untie the jasper pendant around my neck, "The Battle of Ailing, I am still young, and I can't damage the great cause of your family." Now I have a good plan, and I will not let the thief watch his brother die in front of him. Over the years, the little sister Lao and the eldest brother have taken care of it, this jade pendant has been my belongings for many years, and it is placed here by the eldest brother, he will see you again in the clouds, and the eldest brother will exchange it for wine with me. ”

"Little sister." Chen Wei lowered his head and pinched the little fox flying in the auspicious clouds, and held the jade pendant tightly into his palm, "I, Chen Wei, am ashamed of the word 'righteousness', please ask my little sister to make amends to Brother Liu Xia for me." ”

"Yui."

"And ...... I have never received generous gifts in my life, and you remember to come and get this jasper pendant back. ”

"Okay." I smiled and nodded.
