Before arriving at Chang'an City, the sky was already dark. When Zhang Xiu came to the city gate, the drawbridge had been retracted and the city gate was closed. The sergeants in the city also saw Zhang Xiu, so they shouted: "The city gate is closed today, please be early tomorrow." ”

Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Jincheng is urgent, there is a letter from Jincheng Taishou here, open the city gate quickly, it is too late to miss the military situation and behead you." ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, he obviously felt a moment of confusion among the soldiers at the head of the city, and Zhang Xiu saw that the goal had been achieved, so he waited quietly.

Soon a man in charge came from above the city, and shouted, "Who are you, and what is the urgency?" ”

Zhang Xiu frowned, and shouted: "I am Zhang Xiu, a subordinate official of Jincheng Taishou Mansion, the Qiang people rebelled and have captured Jincheng, and Lord Taishou has been martyred." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was another confusion in the city, and after the man stopped drinking, he asked, "What is the evidence?" ”

Zhang Xiu was a little helpless, so he had to shout again: "I have Jincheng Tai's handwritten letter and sealed letter, open the city gate quickly, and take me to see Lord Jingzhao Yin to prepare Chen's military information." ”

The person in charge saw that there was indeed only Zhang Xiu under the city, so he ordered the sergeant to open the city gate, Zhang Xiu obviously felt the vigilance of the soldiers when he entered the city, and when Zhang Xiu entered the city, the city gate was closed again, and the Han soldiers were obviously relieved, and a middle-aged man came to Zhang Xiu, and saw that there were two children sitting on horseback, and said strangely: "Who are these two children?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "The orphan of Jincheng Taishou was brought out by Taishou when I broke through. ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Han army suddenly breathed a little uncomfortable, it was not easy to break through in the chaos, not to mention the two children, although the two children were red from the cold, but the spirit was good, and then the three of them were not scarred on their bodies, but their clothes and horses were stained with blood, and Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun had a layer of dark red bloodstains, knowing that Zhang Xiu had indeed experienced a big war, and he would not believe what Zhang Xiu said.

At this time, the eyes of the Han soldiers looking at Zhang Xiu had changed a little, knowing that the young man in front of him was definitely a top general, breaking through with two children and not being damaged, I am afraid that not many people in ancient and modern times can do it.

In fact, they didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was only facing the Qiang forward, far from the hundreds of thousands of Qiang army they imagined, and when breaking through, Zhang Xiu first shot to death the Qiang leader who commanded the battle to highlight the encirclement of the Taishou Mansion, and then relied on the degree of sassy dew when breaking through the city gate, and then shot the Qiang generals who guarded the gate so that they didn't have time to organize the pursuit, so that the three of them were not damaged. If it is besieged by hundreds of thousands of Qiang people's army, I am afraid that it will not be easy for Zhang Xiu to ride out of the siege alone.

However, the fact has been done, the process is no longer too important, the martial artist respects the strong, and the officer politely said to Zhang Xiu: "Little brother, and follow me to see Lord Jing Zhaoyin." Then he instructed the sergeant behind him: "Go and prepare hot water for wine, food, and water, and wait for this little brother and the orphan of Kaneshiro Taishou to freshen up and eat and drink." The sergeant next to him answered the call and went down to prepare, looking very fast, but Zhang Xiu put the second child off his horse and said to the officer: "My lord, take them to freshen up, eat and drink, and then pick them up after Xiu meets Lord Jing Zhaoyin." ”

The general immediately responded, and then ordered someone to take the two children away, while he led Zhang Xiu to see Jing Zhaoyin.

When he arrived at the inner hall of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, Zhang Xiu saw a middle-aged scribe with a sharp jaw and a thin mouth sitting on the main seat, Zhang Xiu frowned when he saw it, although he didn't know how to read faces, but he still knew a little bit about fur, and the Lord Jing Zhaoyin in front of him was obviously a villain.

Zhang Xiu had some bottom in his heart, so he took out the silk cloth written by Chen Yi in blood from his arms, and the small box containing the Jincheng Taishou Seal Letter, and handed them all to Jing Zhaoyin. That Jing Zhaoyin unfolded the blood silk and looked at it, Zhang Xiu obviously saw him frowning, and after reading it, he opened the small box and looked at it again, before he covered the small box and asked, "You escaped from Jincheng alone?" ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, she was a little unhappy, but she still replied: "Lord Hui, the lower official broke through the siege and summoned the news on the order of Lord Taishou, and asked the court for reinforcements. ”

Jing Zhaoyin smiled and said, "So your family is staying in Jincheng?" ”

Zhang Xiuying said: "Yes." ”

Jing Zhaoyin's face immediately changed after hearing this, and shouted: "Come on, take down this deserter." ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but still asked: "My lord, my subordinates are just ordered to go out of the city, how can they be deserters." ”

Jing Zhaoyin snorted coldly and said, "Your family is too shou to live and die with Jincheng, and you are the only one who escapes, aren't you a deserter?" ”

Zhang Xiu felt very far-fetched when he heard this, no, it was simply unreasonable, but this was Jing Zhaoyin's territory, and what he said was an order. At this time, the guards outside had arrived, and they were about to step forward to take down Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu pushed the two guards away with both hands, and shouted: "I am not afraid of swords and guns to kill from the siege of the Qiang people, today see who dares to take me." Then he shouted to Na Jing Zhaoyin: "I have already delivered the letter, how to deal with it is the matter of the adult, but I still advise the lord, some things cannot be delayed, if the court blames it, it may not only be the official, but also the life of the family." After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

That Jing Zhaoyin was still shouting to take Zhang Xiu down, but from the moment Zhang Xiu entered Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, the Han army guarding the city gate had quietly spread Zhang Xiu's heroic deeds to their ears.

In this way, Zhang Xiu swaggered out of Jingzhaoyin's mansion, and after walking for several miles, the Han army general who led him to Jingzhaoyin's mansion caught up and asked, "Little brother, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Xiu told him what happened just now, and the general of the Han army smiled bitterly: "Alas, the little brother doesn't know, our adult is actually the income of donating officials, and he has done a lot of foolish things in office, so I can't imagine that this time it will be ......."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu suddenly said: "I see, but after this way, I don't know how many front-line soldiers and people in Guanzhong and Liangzhou will be sacrificed." ”

The Han army general nodded with a wry smile, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "I have ordered someone to send Chen Taishou's orphans. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and asked, "Haven't asked for the name of Brother Tai yet?" ”

The general of the Han army smiled and said: "In Xia Hu Zhen, the character is talented, and he is a person from Liangzhou." ”

Zhang Xiu was a little surprised in his heart, this Hu Zhen seemed to be a general under Huaxiong in the future, suppressed the surprise in his heart, Zhang Xiu arched his hand and said: "Under Zhang Xiu, the word Boyuan, Liangzhou Wuwei people." ”

Hu Zhen returned the salute and said, "Little brother, where do you want to go, if you have nowhere to go, why don't you go to your brother's house?" ”

Zhang Xiu also felt that the Hu Zhen in front of him was good, so he replied: "Uncle Jia has a mansion in Chang'an, and I am going to live in my uncle's house for a while, but I can find Brother Hu to eat and drink every day." ”

After hearing this, Hu Zhen smiled and said: "Haha, since you stay in Chang'an, I can rest assured, and I will naturally pay for the wine." At this time, Chen Song and Chen Yao, the two children, had already eaten and changed their clothes, and after seeing Zhang Xiu, they trotted all the way into Zhang Xiu's arms.

Zhang Xiu smiled and touched the heads of the two, and arched his hand to Hu Zhen: "Brother Hu, the younger brother has said goodbye first, and I will go to the city gate tomorrow to find Brother Hu." ”

Hu Zhen smiled: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

After Zhang Xiu said goodbye to Hu Zhen, he led the second child to lead Sa Lu to the south of the city.
