Chapter 42: The Bloodstained City Gate

On the path of the Imperial City, a carriage drove at a moderate speed in the direction of the city gate, and on the carriage, a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for a long time were chatting heartily.

"Fortunately, there is no danger, you can clear your name this time, and the official is reinstated, it is really a happy thing, but unfortunately the time is in a hurry, and I don't have time to invite you to the house for a meal!" He Hong said regretfully.

"I'm already happy to see you!" Zheng Zerun hurriedly responded.

"This time, Gu Shichong obviously wants to wipe us out, but I really can't imagine who secretly took action to save me!" After changing the conversation, Zheng Zerun continued.

originally thought that He Hong did it, but after meeting, he said that he didn't know, and Zheng Zerun couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Being able to save people from Gu Shichong's men quietly, this person must not be a simple character, although I don't know who it is, but it is a good thing that someone fights against Gu Shichong, don't think about it so much!"

"Hmm!" Zheng Zerun nodded and said, "I didn't succeed this time, I think Gu Shichong will not give up, brother, you are in the imperial city yourself, you have to be more careful, and be more careful in everything!" ”

He Hong's tenacious character, Zheng Zerun couldn't understand it anymore, the officialdom is dangerous, as an old friend, he can't help but have to say a few more words.

"I know, you still say that me, your personality is not much different from mine, you have to be careful in the future!"

As he spoke, these two middle-aged men, who were over half a hundred years old, looked at each other and laughed.

Both of them are upright people, they would rather be broken than broken, they have encountered a lot of walls in the officialdom, every time they suffer a loss, they will remind each other, but in the end, they are still always yin.

Over the years, teasing each other with a tendon seems to have become a common occurrence for these two brothers.

The time to meet is always short, and before you know it, the carriage has already reached the city gate.

"I'll send you here, have a nice trip!" Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, the two got out of the carriage, He Hong patted Zheng Zerun's shoulder and said.

"Hmm!" Zheng Zerun nodded and responded.

"Uncle Zheng!"

Suddenly, a clear voice came from the direction of the city gate, and when he turned around, He Hong saw He Muwan walking quickly towards their location with a smile on his face.

"Evening, why are you here?" With a look of surprise, He Hong asked the woman.

"Uncle Zheng is leaving, of course I'm going to send it off!" Answering casually, He Muwan turned to Zheng Zerun and said hello to him.

"Is this Mu Wan?"

If He Hong was surprised when he saw He Muwan's reaction, then Zheng Zerun's could be described as shock.

"You've grown so big, you're really getting more and more beautiful, when I left, you were so big!" As he spoke, Zheng Zerun stretched out his hand and gestured at the position of his lower abdomen.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for years, and I've grown up late! Uncle Zheng, you don't know how much to come back to see, I miss you late! He Muwan pouted.

"Evening, don't make trouble, your Uncle Zheng is busy with official business, how can he have time!"

"Then write a few more letters and come back!" He Muwan was still pouting.

"In the future, Uncle Zheng will definitely write more letters to you!" Zheng Zerun promised again and again, "Come on, come on, let my uncle take a good look!" ”

Saying that, Zheng Zerun pulled He Muwan to his side, and it seemed that Zheng Zerun loved her more than He Hong's father.

It's no wonder that He Muwan has been playful and cute since he was a child, good at coaxing people to be happy, especially pleasing the elders, Zheng Zerun has no daughters under his knees, and he has always regarded He Muwan as his own.

"It's not too early, it's late, it's time for your Uncle Zheng to set off!" glanced at the sky, if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go back today, so He Hong opened his mouth and urged.

"I'm still the same as when I was a child, I like to be clingy!" With loving eyes, Zheng Zerun smiled.

"Then I'm not sticky to everyone, I just like to stick to Uncle Zheng!" Saying that, He Muwan grinned.

"This little mouth is still as sweet as before!" Gently pushed He Muwan's little nose with his index finger, although Zheng Zerun was reluctant, he really had to set off.

"Okay, it's time for me to go, I'll write to you when I get to Los Angeles to report safety, you have to take care!"

"Hmm!" Nodding, He Muwan took out a paper bag from his arms, handed it to Zheng Zerun and said, "Uncle Zheng, these are the snacks I specially prepared for you, you can keep them for you to eat on the road!" ”

In the carriage parked at the city gate, Bei Mingchen lifted the curtain of the car window and looked at a few people outside the city gate.

Looking at the innocent appearance of the woman in front of Zheng Zerun, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a graceful arc upward.

"It's like a child who doesn't grow up!" Shaking his head helplessly, Bei Mingchen said silently in his heart.

As soon as his ears moved, Bei Mingchen suddenly heard a sound, and noticed that there was an ambush nearby, so he immediately raised his vigilance.

Sure enough, in the next moment, only to hear a "whoosh", a dark arrow pierced the air and roared towards the three people at the city gate.

"Be careful!" Bei Mingchen hurriedly reminded him, and at the same time, he quickly turned over and jumped out of the carriage and walked out of the city gate.

The three of them didn't know martial arts, even if they sensed the danger, but no one had the ability to block it, and there was a "tearing" sound, and there was the sound of sharp weapons inserting into their bodies.

When he raised his eyes to look, he saw that a blood flower instantly bloomed on Zheng Zerun's chest, and his heart surged up, and a touch of bright red flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Zheng!"

"Uncle Zheng!"

He Hong and He Muwan exclaimed at the same time, their eyes widened in horror, He Muwan raised his feet and was about to run towards Zheng Zerun, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by a powerful big hand.

"You let go of me, I'm going to save Uncle Zheng!" Struggling desperately, He Muwan's voice was a little hoarse because she was too emotional.

Dark arrows continued to shoot one after another, and after a while, Zheng Zerun's body was hit by several arrows one after another.

The situation was critical, but He Muwan was grabbed tightly and couldn't break free, she couldn't help but be annoyed, and took her hand at the man and bit it hard.

Bei Mingchen's hand, the place where He Muwan had bitten it before was not completely good, but she bit it in the same place again this time.

The man's brows furrowed tightly in pain, but he still had no intention of letting go.

The heavy smell of blood diffused in her mouth, He Muwan eased her mind slightly, her eyes were blurred with tears, she looked at the man in front of her, and begged: "I beg you, let me go, I want to save him!" ”

"He Muwan, calm down! If you watch you take your life to save him, how can you let Uncle Zheng rest in peace! ”
