The gong of the fourth watch sounded in the street, and Bai Ziyu stood in front of the window in his coat and couldn't sleep. Thinking about the ghost king jade card handed over to Zhang Sangongzi during the day, Bai Ziyu thought in his heart: Hong'er knew that he was fine, and his heart should be decided, with Hong'er's cleverness, he would not fall for the third prince Zhang. It's just that this third prince is not a simple character, and the study of the mechanism is even more exquisite, can Hong'er escape this catastrophe?

A little servant came to Bai Ziyu's door with a lamp and said, "Bai Gongzi, my master said that since you can't sleep, it's better to go to the hall and talk together." ”

Bai Ziyu didn't know what kind of play Zhang Sangongzi was going to do at such a late hour, but he still put on his clothes and followed the little maid to the hall.

The hall was brightly lit, Zhang Sangongzi was sitting at the table drinking tea, and opposite him was a man in black who was bound by several iron chains. The man in black had his head down, apparently unconscious.

Bai Ziyu had a bad premonition as soon as he entered the hall, and when he saw the familiar figure trapped by layers of iron chains, he was so excited that he suddenly pounced, raised Yun Yuhong's face and patted it gently, and said anxiously: "Hong'er, Hong'er, wake up!" ”

Yun Yuhong didn't move, Bai Ziyu was angry, turned around and said sharply to Zhang Sangongzi: "What did you do to Hong'er, if Hong'er has a good one, I will definitely fight with you." ”

Zhang Sangongzi reassured: "Don't worry, she's fine, she's really fine, it's just a little smoke, and she will wake up in a while." ”

Bai Ziyu temporarily relieved himself when he heard this, but he hugged Yun Yuhong into his arms, and looked at Zhang Sangongzi's eyes still vigilant.

Zhang Sangongzi touched his nose, there is no need to use him as a thief, he is really not interested in such a fierce woman.

After a while, Yun Yuhong opened her eyes and saw that Bai Ziyu was happy, but her body was weak and she was tied up again, so she had to still lean on Bai Ziyu's arms.

Bai Ziyu saw that Yun Yuhong seemed to be okay when she woke up, so she was relieved. The two glanced at each other, and saw the joy of reunion in each other's eyes, although only one glance, it was worth a thousand words.

Bai Ziyu regained his previous gentleness and asked Zhang Sangongzi: "What is the purpose of the third prince inviting the two of us here, now you can talk about it." ”

Zhang Sangongzi smiled calmly: "I want to talk about a deal with the eldest princess." ”

"Buying and selling, the third prince is not an attitude to talk about trading, right?" Bai Ziyu pointed to the iron chain on Yun Yuhong's body.

"The eldest princess is strong in martial arts, and this is also a last resort. Bai Gongzi should know that since he wants to buy and sell, the buyer and seller must have a certain amount of bargaining chips. And my chips are two, oh, it can also be said to be three, and I have to count the master next to Bai Gongzi. Zhang Sangongzi replied.

"What kind of business, let's hear about it." Yun Yuhong interjected.

Zhang Sangongzi said: "Both of them have been on the embankment, I don't know what they have noticed?" ”

Bai Ziyu snorted coldly and said, "Do you want to say that Zhang Shangshu embezzled the money for the repair of the embankment, cut corners, and filled the embankment with straw, so that the embankment often bursts during the rainy season?" ”

Zhang Sangongzi sighed: "It turns out that Bai Gongzi knows everything." ”

Yun Yuhong continued: "So you assassinated Lord Bai and designed him to be swept away by the flood?" ”

Zhang Sangongzi paused for a while before he said: "The assassination was done by my second brother, but he didn't succeed, as for the matter of the Bai Daren embankment falling into the water, I designed it, but I didn't want to harm people's lives, so I also saved people." ”

Yun Yuhong said sarcastically: "Do you want to say that the merits and demerits are offset, this account is not calculated like this." What purpose do you have to say it, we are in your hands, do you still have the right to say no? ”

Zhang Sangongzi glanced at Yun Yuhong a few times, nodded and said: "The eldest princess is quick to talk, she said it well, since I have done it, there is no need to excuse myself again." The deal I want to do is very simple, I want to exchange three lives for the eldest princess to let Zhang's family live. ”

Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and Bai Ziyu asked: "The third prince said something wrong, it should be you who let us live." ”

Zhang Sangongzi sighed and said: "The Zhang family seems to be beautiful in recent years, but it has gone to the road of prosperity and decline. In recent years, the clansmen have been lazy and disgusted, their crafts have been wasted, and there are even more unscrupulous children, ignoring thousands of living beings, and even started the idea of repairing the embankment. Therefore, I hope that the eldest princess can open up and no longer pursue the responsibility of the Zhang family, and I can be responsible for finding someone to build the embankment to make up for the Zhang family's faults. ”

"You mean I don't know about it?" Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows and said.

Zhang Sangongzi nodded.

Yun Yuhong snorted coldly and said: "The Zhang clan is guilty of heinous crimes, if you let them go like this, how can you be worthy of the people of the world, and how can you be worthy of the unjust souls who were drowned by the flood." ”

Bai Ziyu also said sharply: "Yes, if the Zhang family really realizes their mistakes, they should bear the guilt, explain it to the subjects of the world, and then make up for their mistakes, what is your approach, if the matter is exposed, you will have to blackmail the princess to let go, how can you have the heart to repent, if the people of the world make mistakes like you, what justice and justice will be talked about in this world, and what kind of justice and justice will the country talk about."

These words made Zhang Sangongzi's face flush and he was ashamed, but he still refused to give up, and said dryly: "Don't forget that your life is still in my hands." Zhang Sangongzi didn't understand the truth, but he wanted to save his family, which was the most direct way. The Liu family and the Hu family have fallen, and the Zhang family doesn't want to be the third.

Bai Ziyu was stunned, but she was very guilty, and said to Yun Yuhong: "I am the princess who has been involved." ”

Yun Yuhong smiled and said to Bai Ziyu: "Between you and me, do you want to say anything that is not involved?" ”

Bai Ziyu was very moved, held Yun Yuhong's hand, and hugged him tightly into his arms.

Bai Ziyu and Zhang Sangongzi both felt as if something was wrong, and only reacted after being stunned, their hands, Yun Yuhong's hands should be tied, how can they move now. The iron chain is still wrapped around Yun Yuhong's body, but... loosened, Zhang Sangongzi pushed the wheelchair and retreated, but was pulled back by Yun Yuhong with a flick of the chain.

Looking at Yun Yuhong, who was swept away with decadence and full of energy, Zhang Sangongzi smiled bitterly: "The eldest princess has good acting skills, I was fooled from the beginning." ”

Yun Yuhong nodded, "That's right, I smoked too much smoke and other things when I walked the rivers and lakes, and these didn't work for me anymore." But the third son, you have no bargaining chips now, I can stop talking about this deal. ”

The matter has come to this point, Zhang Sangongzi has nothing to say except sighing and smiling bitterly.

Yun Yuhong looked at the stunned Bai Ziyu, threw herself into his arms with a cheerful smile, hugged him and said, "Don't be angry, I don't want to lie to him, but you don't object if you want to hug me." ”

Bai Ziyu's face turned red, looking at Yun Yuhong, who was childish and coaxing him to be happy, neither was he laughing, and in the end he had nothing to say.

Find out the stingy ghost trapped in the dungeon, and the three of them walk towards the mansion together with Zhang Sangongzi. But as soon as they came to the street, they heard a gong and someone shouted: "Get up, run for your life, the levee is going to be blown up..."

The stingy ghost hurriedly grabbed a man who was beating the gong and asked, "What's the matter, what's going to be blown up?" ”

The man pushed the stingy ghost and said, "Hurry up, the prefect has informed you, you can run quickly." ”

Yun Yuhong said to Bai Ziyu: "I ordered someone to guard the embankment, it may be that General Gao has a problem." ”

Zhang Sangongzi shouted: "No, it's my second brother, he has been with General Gao these days." ”

Yun Yuhong was about to run towards the embankment, but was tightly pulled by Bai Ziyu, Bai Ziyu said: "Take me!" There was a hint of begging and determination in his eyes. Yun Yuhong knew that he was reluctant to go on an adventure alone and wanted to accompany him with his life, but she was willing to do it, patted Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "I won't go to death, wait for me outside the city, I'll come in a while." After speaking, he glanced at the stingy ghost and left.

The stingy ghost pulled Bai Ziyu with one hand, and pushed Zhang Sangongzi with the other and said: "Don't worry, the master will be fine, she practiced in the waterfall at the age of eight, and she has been fighting with pirates for more than a year, and her water nature is good." ”

At the embankment, Zhang Ergongzi held a torch to ignite the gunpowder fuse on the ground, General Gao was injured in one hand, and held a knife in the other, and stopped in front of the embankment with more than 100 soldiers. Zhang Ergongzi also had more than 100 people behind him, some holding torches, and some carrying large bags of gunpowder.

General Gao raised his voice and said: "You have to think about it, if you blow up the embankment, you can't escape, but you have to give away your own life." Now put down the gunpowder and turn away, General Ben assures that he will not be blamed for the past. ”

Zhang Ergongzi said: "General Gao, you have to think about it carefully, for the sake of your friends, I will persuade you to leave with your people immediately, and I will let you live, otherwise, you will disappear with this embankment." ”

General Gao hurriedly said: "Second son, don't forget, once it explodes, you may not be able to escape." ”

Zhang Ergongzi smiled evilly and said: "I have my own method, since General Gao has made up his mind, then we will meet indefinitely." ”

After speaking, Zhang Ergongzi sent the torch in his hand forward, and actually lit the gunpowder fuse. The spark went all the way forward, the speed was extremely fast, General Gao used a knife to slash, but the spark was not extinguished, but scattered towards the four roads, and Zhang Ergongzi's entourage also threw torches and gunpowder to the ground. It was too late for General Gao and the others to stop him, so he could only close his eyes and wait for him to be blown up into the sky.

But God opened his eyes, and a heavy rain fell from the sky, and the gunpowder on the ground was drenched, and the sparks were extinguished at once. Everyone in the venue was drenched in soup, this was the first time that everyone present liked the rain so much, everyone cheered, but the rain was also strange, and it only stopped after a while? Someone noticed that something was wrong, and looked not far away, but saw a figure wearing a ghost king mask, holding a strange large... It was a roof in reverse, oh, it was the roof of the shed that had been pulled out by the Ghost King earlier. Look at the way it drips down, the water just came up from the lake? Everyone looked at Yun Yuhong, not knowing how to describe their princess.
