Chapter 68: The Comer
"Anyone have a free hand, find me a ladder!"
Zhou Tong was helpless, and he couldn't care about his face, so he had to shout on the roof.
However, at this time, among the following people, who can still take care of Zhou Tong.
Cheng Wangshu obviously judged the situation, and this leap bypassed Wen Liang's persecution, and jumped right in front of Wen Gu five steps away. This position will not make Wen Liang feel that Wen Lao is too dangerous, and he will attack ruthlessly, and at the same time, he must be distracted to take care of his eldest lady.
Wen Liang naturally knew that Nan Yijian became famous for his "sword of borrowing power", and the other party's leap was obvious, which provoked Wen Liang to secretly say "good" in his heart. However, with Zhixia by his side, even if Cheng Wangshu has any plans for the eldest lady, I am afraid that he will not be able to succeed in one blow.
It's just that with such an opponent, this battle will not be easy.
However, these people were the only ones who could participate in the siege without losing the center, plus Zhou Tong who was anxiously spinning on the roof.
The dark guards who do not lose the center can't fully gather here, Cheng Wangshu came, in case there are any other strategies such as transferring the tiger from the mountain and secretly Chen Cang, the rest of the secret guards have already guarded all the key places, and more than a dozen have been mobilized to the maximum.
It's just that Cheng Wangshu didn't mean to make a move, and Wen Liang and the others couldn't act rashly, so the two sides confronted each other like this.
Even though he doesn't know martial arts, he can understand the posture. At that time, when she was reading a lot of books in Tongcheng, in the "North and South Divide a Sword", she had also heard some of the deeds of Nanyi Sword Cheng Wangshu roughly, and she also knew it at the moment.
Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate at the moment, he said, "You are from Lianzhou?" ”
Cheng Wangshu turned his back to her, hearing that this little lady was in such a situation, there was no panic in her tone, and she praised it in her heart, but she simply replied: "Exactly." ”
Thinking about this, he asked again: "Came with Xu Zhongyan?" ”
Cheng Wangshu did not hesitate, and replied again: "Exactly." ”
Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Wen Lao, only Wen Liang knew that the eldest lady acted as if she never cared about her life or death, or she was confident and went to risk in person, but every time she made Wen Liang quite nervous.
At this time, seeing the eldest lady talking to him, Wen Liang became even more vigilant.
And Wen Su only paused slightly, and then said something important: "Tang Mingyi is dead." ”
Everyone present knew about this, only Cheng Wangshu didn't know, and this Nan Yijian was really stunned when he heard this. When Wen Liang saw his expression, he knew that the flaw had been born, so he took advantage of the situation to burst out, and then attacked Cheng Wangshu.
Cheng Wangshu lost the opportunity, so he couldn't deal with it hastily, and finally pulled out his sword to resist for the time being, and at the same time withdrew to the side.
Wen Liang's blow was not to take his life, but to force Cheng Wangshu to stay a little away from Wen Gu, and the rest of the secret guards seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to form a formation, and each of them blocked Cheng Wangshu's left and right retreat in pairs.
Nan Yijian wanted to ask again, but Wenliang and the others pressed forward step by step, so he couldn't be distracted, so he had to keep silent and deal with it with all his might.
At this time, the other secret guards who were not lost in the middle had finally finished dispatching everywhere, and one of them could just see Zhou Tong.
"Come and help me lift the ladder!" Zhou Tong saw that this secret guard looked at him, and hurriedly shouted at him.
But where did the secret guard dare to leave easily, but he couldn't ignore the words of the young commander of the Liangzhou army, so he had to look for a way.
Zhou Tong looked at the attack below and became more and more urgent, and he had the idea of jumping down directly, but he jumped like this, in case something was wrong and he injured his legs and feet, he couldn't help at this time, not to mention, maybe he would have to delay the city defense layout later. So he had no choice but to give up, and kept urging the secret guard to find a way to hurry up.
In the courtyard, Cheng Wangshu blocked several rounds of attacks by the secret guards, and he also felt that he might not be able to win completely.
This time, Cheng Wangshu was going to come to hear Tang Mingyi's news, but he thought it would take some twists and turns, but he didn't want to get the result easily at this time.
In this case, there was no intention of fighting again, so taking advantage of the pause of Wenliang's offensive, he found a loophole, turned over and stepped on the low stone pier on the side, climbed onto the roof on the other side, and then left in a hurry.
It's just that before leaving, he looked back and took a deep look.
Wen Liang deliberately arranged a loophole, just to lure him away from the eldest lady, he was fooled, where was Wen Liang willing to let him leave easily, he also climbed up, chased after him, and the rest of the secret guards naturally followed, and in the blink of an eye, they all left without losing their home.
At the time of this change, the secret guard who was urged by Zhou Tong finally called a bold servant and took the risk to put the ladder for Zhou Tong.
This Zhou Tong just climbed down the ladder, just in time to see the last secret guard also chased back to the roof.
Zhou Tong first glanced at the old man and saw that she was fine. Then he looked at the roofs around him, and then looked at the ladder he came down again, sighed heavily, and was going to move the ladder and then go up to another roof to chase it, but he slapped his forehead after taking two steps, threw the ladder, and simply walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Zhou Dutong." Seeing him swinging back and forth in the courtyard like this, Wen Gu stopped him with a loud voice.
"Miss, what do you command?" Zhou Tong replied breathlessly, although he didn't make a move in this confrontation, he was more tired than anyone present.
"Cheng Wangshu will hand it over to Uncle Wen, you go to Jin Xuan, and let her take the soldiers to readjust the defense in the city in the name of arresting the assassins in the city. We didn't have a proper reason before, and since Cheng Wangshu came once, we couldn't call him for nothing. ”
"Good!" Zhou Tong responded.
Wen told him again, after informing Jin Xuan, he would go directly to the city defense, and add people to take care of the granary, arsenal and other places.
"Seeing that Cheng Wangshu reacted, their trip may not be more than Xu Zhongyan, they are accompanied by three people, in addition to him and Xu Zhongyan, there is another person, we don't know where they are, let alone what specific purpose they have, since they have entered the city, be careful."
After the eldest lady's explanation, Zhou Tong also understood what he was going to do, although he didn't understand how the eldest lady came to these inferences, but he just took the order and left.
Also didn't understand Zhixia, who had been listening, and only after Zhou Tong left, Zhixia spoke: "Miss, why did you directly tell Cheng Wangshu Tang Mingyi that he died?" They are all people from the Southern Chu court, such a big change, don't we have to shy away from it? ”
Wen Gu's heart was not completely clear at this time, and after Cheng Wangshu reported his name, she had been thinking about a question, and telling him the truth was also to see the follow-up reaction.
At this moment, I asked through Zhixia, so I happened to share it with her and analyze it carefully.
"I just think that if Cheng Wangshu comes to Tongcheng at this time, he can only come with Xu Zhongyan. But it is very unreasonable for the two of them to go together. ”
