Chapter 139: Successful Rescue
The more than a dozen men standing a little further back all looked a little nervous, and two of them even trembled violently.
Although they are a group of well-trained spies, as long as they are human, they will be afraid of death after all!
The man who held Tao Huanniang hostage was relatively calm, he put the long sword on Tao Huanniang's neck, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said to Liu Wei: "Hongnong Wang Mo is not stupid when I wait?" I'm afraid I'll die even worse if I lay down my sword. With this woman in hand, do you still have to worry that Your Highness won't let me go? ”
"If she's missing a cold hair, you'll all die miserably!" Liu Wei didn't pay attention to the man's words, and after the man's voice fell, he raised his feet and took a step forward, approaching the man holding Tao Huanniang hostage, and said with a bit of coldness in his tone: "This king really cares about Huanniang, she has been robbed by you and others in the past two days, and this king is very worried." But if you want to use her as a threat, then you are wrong! ”
His eyes narrowed slightly, Liu Wei raised his long sword slightly, and then said to the man who held Tao Huanniang hostage: "Let her go, she will be captured, or die!" You can choose one of them! ”
Liu Wei's indifference to Tao Huanniang's safety was obviously beyond the man's expectations, he was stunned for a moment, his brows were tightly twisted, and the long sword on Tao Huanniang's neck couldn't help but tighten again.
The sharp blade of the sword was attached to Tao Huanniang's white neck, and the delicate neck skin was cut by the blade, and a trace of blood flowed down the sword body to the tip of the sword.
It was very dark in the room, Liu Wei didn't see Tao Huanniang's neck cut by the long sword, and seeing that the man didn't let go, he took a small step forward.
"Stop!" Seeing that Liu Wei was moving forward a little closer, and the twenty or thirty personal soldiers behind him were also holding long swords to confront the men in the house, the forehead of the man holding Tao Huanniang was oozing beads of sweat the size of soybeans, and there was already some panic in his tone and shouted at Liu Bian: "Take another half step forward, and I will kill him." ”
"Lay down your blade!" Just when this man confronted Liu Wei, Zhou Cang's thunderous shout came from the door, and Zhou Cang, who led the troops to surround Tianheng Buzhuang, rushed into the inner hall and shouted at the men in the house.
His shouts were like thunder, and the man holding Tao Huanniang couldn't help but tremble, and turned his head to look at the door.
With just one glance, he made a mistake that he would never undo.
The moment he turned his head, Liu Wei, who was only one step away from him, suddenly raised his long sword and stabbed straight into his neck.
In the dark room, the long sword pierced a streak of light like flowing water, and with a "poof" sound, it pierced the man's neck.
At the same time as the long sword pierced the man's neck, Liu Wei quickly stretched out his other hand, grabbed the man's sword-holding arm, pulled it out, pulled his hand away, and pulled Tao Huanniang again, took her in his arms, and quickly took a few steps back, leaning against the wall.
Holding Tao Huanniang in his arms, Liu Wei found the scar on her neck when he helped her untie the thick cloth strip on her mouth, and took off the strip of cloth, and then he wrapped the strip of cloth around Tao Huanniang's neck to help her stop the blood that was still flowing.
The two soldiers who entered the house with Liu Wei also hurriedly held their swords in front of them.
The sudden attack obviously surprised everyone, and the more than ten men in the room were stunned for a moment before someone came back to their senses and shouted: "King Hongnong killed the general!" ”
"Kill!" Holding Tao Huanniang tightly in his arms, Liu Wei shouted to Zhou Cang and the others who were blocking the way out of the group of men: "Don't leave any of them, kill them all!" ”
After receiving Liu Wei's order, a group of pro-soldiers shouted in unison, and rushed towards those men with long swords, and Zhou Cang, who had already entered the house, also shouted, brandished his long sword, and slashed at the head of one of the men.
In the small room, a scuffle unfolded, Liu Wei leaned his back against the wall, holding a sword in one hand and the other arm tightly hugging Tao Huanniang, vigilantly watching a sword light and sword shadow in the room.
The room was too small, the two sides were crowded in the room, and although more than a dozen spies were very good at swordsmanship, they couldn't use it in the small room, and it didn't take long for a while before they were all knocked to the ground by a group of soldiers led by Zhou Cang.
Having slashed over all the spies in the room, some of the officers and soldiers dragged their wounded or dead companions out of the room, and a few soldiers armed with long swords and slashed two swords on the chest and head of each of the fallen spies, and the room was filled with a thick smell of blood.
"Search all the corners and find every place where you can hide people! Then take all the cloth here and fill it into the treasury! The officers and soldiers killed all the spies, and Liu Wei walked to the door of the back hall with Tao Huanniang in his arms and gave Zhou Cang an order.
Escorting Tao Huanniang to leave Tianheng Cloth Village, Liu Wei walked straight in the direction of the official mansion under the arch guard of a group of personal soldiers.
Along the way, Tao Huanniang hibernated in Liu Bian's arms like a kitten, and from time to time she would look up and peek at Liu Bian, who was walking with her.
The spies who held her hostage wanted to use her to blackmail Liu Wei, and they didn't embarrass her too much. But in the past two days, she has been surrounded by fear all the time.
The moment Liu Wei took her into his arms, all the fear dissipated with the temperature in his chest.
A group of pro-soldiers surrounded Liu Wei and Tao Huanniang and returned to the official mansion, and when they entered the official mansion, Liu Wei did not let Tao Huanniang return to her room, but said to the officers and soldiers who followed behind: "Move Tao Girl's bed cover to this king's room." ”
Liu Wei said that he wanted to move her bedding to his room, Tao Huanniang hurriedly turned her head, looked at him with a shocked face, and said softly: "Your Highness...... Slave ......"
"Let you live alone, I'm still a little worried after all!" Holding Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei turned his head to look at her, and said softly: "Living in the same room with me, if anyone wants to attack you, you must pass my level first!" ”
Liu Wei's words were very plain, but in Tao Huanniang's ears, they had a different taste.
Her eyes were full of tears, she looked up at Liu Bian, choked up with an "um", and followed Liu Bian into his room.
As soon as he entered the house, Liu Wei pressed Tao Huanniang on the cover and sat down, while he himself knelt beside Tao Huanniang and looked at her from head to toe.
I haven't seen her for two days, Tao Huanniang is a little tired, and the clothes on her body are not as clean as usual.
Seeing Liu Wei looking at her without blinking, Tao Huanniang lowered her head, pursed her lips, her pretty face flushed with shame, and said softly: "Why does Your Highness look at the slave family like this." ”
"Will you have the wounded doctor re-bandage you?" After carefully looking at Tao Huanniang from head to toe, Liu Wei gently stroked the strip of cloth wrapped around her neck, and said to her softly: "It's all my fault, I didn't expect them to do ...... like this."
"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei's words were finished, Tao Huanniang hurriedly stretched out a finger to block his lips, but then she seemed to feel that it was very wrong to do so, so she quickly withdrew her fingers, lowered her head, and said with red cheeks: "Don't complain about Your Highness, it's the slave family who didn't take care of their own ......."
"No one will be able to snatch you from me in the future!" Looking at the shy Tao Huanniang, thinking that she must have suffered a lot in the past two days, Liu Wei reached out and hugged her in his arms, and said gently: "Before I send you to a safe place, you will follow me." ”
"Hmm!" Snuggled in Liu Wei's arms, Tao Huanniang responded softly, slowly closed her beautiful eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks unconsciously.
"Your Highness!" The two were embracing each other, and the door was pulled open by a soldier holding a bed, who entered the house, bowed down to Liu Wei and asked, "Where is Miss Tao's bed?" Your Highness, please! ”
"Next to the king's bed!" Letting go of the arm holding Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei said to his own soldiers: "Between it and this king's cover, it can be separated by two feet!" ”
The soldiers responded, walked to the inside of Liu Bian's bed, and laid the bunk for Tao Huanniang about two feet away from him.
Looking at the pro-soldiers laying out the covers, thinking that she would sleep in the same room with Liu Wei at night, Tao Huanniang's cheeks were already red with shame.
"Your Highness, the room has prepared a minced meat for Miss Tao!" The soldiers in the first room were laying out the covers, and another soldier was holding a bowl of hot minced meat in both hands, standing at the door and asking Liu Wei, "Miss Tao wants to eat at this time?" ”
"Put it on the table!" Nodding to the soldier, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Tao Huanniang, who was blushing, and said to her: "The minced meat in the room is not as smooth as Huanniang's, you must have suffered a lot in the past two days, and eat some minced meat to replenish your body." ”
Tao Huanniang lowered her head, and did not reach out to serve the minced meat that the soldiers put on the low table, but pursed her lips and was silent for a while before saying to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is also working hard to save the slave family, or Your Highness eats first, the slave family is not hungry!" ”
"I'm not hungry!" Smiling at Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei reached out and picked up the minced meat on the low table, held it in front of Tao Huanniang, and said to her softly: "You fed me that day, why don't you want me to feed you today?" ”
"The slave family doesn't dare!" Liu Wei said that he wanted to feed her, Tao Huanniang hurriedly took the minced meat, lowered her head and said softly: "The slave family eats it!" ”
Looking at Tao Huanniang's sincere and frightened appearance, Liu Wei felt a secret sadness in his heart.
Such a good girl, who has no quarrel with the world, will become the target of the Xiliang Army's scouts. In the final analysis, everything is due to him.
If it weren't for following him, if it wasn't for taking care of him, Tao Huanniang wouldn't have attracted the attention of the spies of the Xiliang Army, let alone been held hostage by them!
Taking a small basin full of minced meat from Liu Wei's hand, Tao Huanniang scooped up a small spoonful and tasted it carefully.
Kneeling opposite her, watching her eat minced meat one bite at a time, a faint smile appeared on Liu Wei's face.
"Your Highness, there is another group of people outside the city!" The two pro-soldiers exited the room, Liu Wei was watching Tao Huanniang eating, and the voice of a pro-soldier came from outside the door: "The people who came outside the city this time are as many as 10,000 people, and the defenders of the city will not dare to be specialized, so I beg Your Highness to show me!" ”
