Gongsun Zhan, who had already been tied up, was about to say a few words to Zhao Xing loudly, but he saw Zhao Xing, who was facing away from the mansion gate, blinking at him vigorously, and did not reveal any murderous intentions, so he shouted loudly: "Zhao Guochang, why did you tie me up indiscriminately! I am the state pastor personally appointed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, what right do you have to dispose of me!"

Zhao Xing secretly screamed in his heart, but he loudly rebuked Gongsun Zan and said: "Don't quibble, wait until I catch the gangsters in the mansion and find out the evidence of your secret collusion with Yuan Shao, and see what else you have to say!

A dead soldier hiding in the courtyard heard Zhao Xing's angry shouts and Yuan Shao's distinguishing voice through the window, and they all thought that Zhao Xing had fallen for the divisive plan of the lord Yuan Shao, but they did not expect that Zhao Xing and Gongsun Zan staged a "bitter meat plan" in an instant.

When Zhao Xing subdued Gongsun Zhan, the two of them had already put a lot of words on the table and made them clear. Of course, Zhao Xing had already been aware of the fact that Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao had conspired to be unfavorable to himself and the Jin Kingdom, but since Gongsun Chan expressed his willingness to be used by Zhao Xing, he cut off all contact with Yuan Shao, stayed in Yuyang honestly, followed the advice of Zhao Yun and Sima Zhi in everything, and never made claims without authorization, but did the work of the state pastor with peace of mind and diligence.

There is a good saying, "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people", Zhao Xing's attitude towards Gongsun Zan is like this. He really couldn't think of what benefits Gongsun Chan could get by conspiring with Yuan Shao now, after all, all of Gongsun Chan's subordinates had turned to serve him, and his family was also living in Crouching Tiger City, no matter from the analysis of actual conditions and motives, it was not worth Gongsun Chan's risk of rebelling against Zhao Xing.

Therefore, Zhao Xing became suspicious from the moment he heard the herald say that the gangsters wanted to see Gongsun Zhan, and then thought of the Three Kingdoms when Dongwu adopted a divisive strategy to let Lao Cao kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun by mistake, and then made the decision to play a bitter plan of "Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai" in a very short time. Zhao Xing didn't expect Gongsun Chan to be so cooperative, and he would be able to comprehend the meaning of a decision he made on an impromptu basis, and it seems that Gongsun Chan will still be a usable person in the future.

As Gongsun Zhan's "scolding" voice gradually faded away, Zhao Xing said to Xiao Degui: "If you shout inside, just say that Cui Taishou has learned about his family's abduction, and said that even if the jade is broken, he will not tolerate and condone the lawbreakers." Let them make a decision early, if they stop and evacuate the Taishou Mansion now, there is still room for maneuver!"

Xiao Degui listened to Zhao Xing's order, and without a moment of hesitation, he rushed to the gate of the mansion and shouted inside: "Listen to the gangsters inside, Cui Taishou already knows about his family being held hostage, and he said that in order to punish the evil and eliminate the traitors, even if his own family is killed, he will not hesitate to do so!

When the dead soldiers inside heard Xiao Degui say this, they were immediately a little confused, so they asked Jia Twelve, who was the leader of the operation, one after another: "Head, what should we do now? Do we kill the people in the mansion and resist to the death, or do we take the Cui family hostage and evacuate outside the city?"

A Twelve pondered for a moment and replied: "Now that Zhao Xing has kidnapped Gongsun Zhan, whether he really believes our words, or wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Gongsun Zhan, the discord and disturbance tasks given by the main bus have been completed, and it is really unwise to stay here to fight the trapped beasts, we will take hostages and evacuate outside the city!"

Jia Sixteen, who had just spoken, immediately shouted out: "Listen to the people outside, quickly let go of a road, if we can leave Yuyang City safely, we will let the Cui Mansion family safely!"

As soon as Zhao Xing heard this, he immediately whispered to Zhao Yun: "I'll delay them here for a while, fourth brother, you quickly return to the Governor's Mansion and discuss with the master how to save people outside the city, this group of gangsters must be taking hostages and going out of the city together!"

After Zhao Yun listened to Zhao Xing's instructions, he didn't say a word, and quickly rode away quietly.

Zhao Xing cleared his throat and shouted loudly to the mansion: "The people in the mansion have listened carefully, I am Zhao Xing, the king of Jin, and I ordered you to release the old and young of the Cui Mansion as soon as possible, so that you will not die and let you go out of the city safely! Hundreds of officers and soldiers around me can testify, and I will never regret this statement!"

At this time, Zhao Xing was still making his last efforts, hoping that this group of murderous people could let Cui Yan's family have a way to live, and at the same time, he would also let himself have a way to live. If the gangsters still want to kidnap Cui Yan's family out of the city, once they reach a place where it is easy to get out, according to Zhao Xing's speculation, there is a chance that Cui Yan's family will still be killed in the end. Because according to the requirements of cultivating dead soldiers, outsiders must not be allowed to remember their appearance, and leaving Cui Yan's family in the world, this group of dead soldiers will be threatened when they perform tasks again in the future.

The answer of the dead soldier of the Yuan family army in the mansion was disappointing, and this group of villains who had originally had the heart of death did not hesitate to reject Zhao Xing's proposal, and then hijacked Cui Yan's parents and children, and covered each other to withdraw from the back door of Cui's mansion.

Zhao Yun and Tong Yuan, who had already rushed to the north gate one step in advance, were ambushing in a forest not far from the city at this time. I don't know how Zhao Yun acted, in such a short period of time, he and his master actually changed into the jungle special combat clothing designed and distributed to various armies under the guidance of Zhao Xing at the same time, which is not only convenient for concealment, but also very close to the body.

"Master, can the two of us leave all the dozen or so people on the other side?" Zhao Yun asked with some concern.

Zhao Yun's worries are reasonable, if it is a head-on enemy, there is no need to worry about Cui Yan's family being victimized, let alone a dozen people, even if there are dozens of more people, Zhao Yun will not be afraid, not to mention that there are skilled masters who will kill the enemy with him. The problem now is that the first thing is to save Cui Yan's family, and the matter of killing the enemy is not very important. For this group of dead soldiers, it is naturally good to be able to annihilate them all and make Yuan Shao's flesh hurt, even if he escapes back, he will still have the opportunity to do it in the future.

Tong Yuanzheng curiously groped for the jungle special combat uniform on his body, listened to Zhao Yun's question, and said lightly: "Yun'er, don't worry, to deal with this group of second- and third-rate guys, you and I are enough for the master and apprentice." ”

In a short time, a dozen or so strong men armed with sharp blades and holding four or five old and weak women and children hostage, passed through the north gate of Yuyang City in full view of everyone. The dragoon officers and soldiers who blocked the north gate had already received Zhao Xing's order, although everyone was angry, and even took bows and arrows to aim at the gangsters under the city, but when they thought of a few innocent hostages, they could only watch the gangsters march away.

"Head, there are no chasing soldiers behind, it seems that Zhao Guochang is really afraid that we killed Cui Yan's family!"

"Hmph, it's just trying to buy people's hearts! We quickly entered the forest in front of us, and once we entered the forest, it was a great opportunity for us to escape!"

After the group of gangsters touched the depths of the dense forest, they stopped to breathe for a while. Jia Sixteen pointed a knife at Cui Yan's family, who was gagged and tied to his arms, and asked suspiciously: "Boss, it's already on the ground, how to deal with these people?"

A Twelve replied a little impatiently: "Do you still ask me about such a trivial matter? According to the usual practice, all those who see our faces clearly will be killed!

"Okay, I'll send them on their way!" As he spoke, Jia Sixteen raised the short knife in his hand and slashed at Cui Yan's old father's neck.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...... A dense sound of arrows breaking through the sky suddenly sounded above the heads of the dozen or so gangsters, pouring down like a storm in an instant.

"Ugh...... Ah!" Suddenly there were several screams in the forest, but it was the five or six dead soldiers who were guarding Cui Yan's family who were shot in the throat and fell to the ground one after another.

"Enemy attack!" the tallest armor twelve, immediately shouted a sharp warning, and quickly swept towards the back of a large tree, intending to hide behind the tree to avoid the rain of arrows that sneaked up on the covertly.

"Hahaha...... Come, let the master and apprentice work together to clean up the group of miscellaneous fish below, don't let your third brother be anxious in Yuyang City!" As he spoke, a vigorous old man fell from the treetops like a big bird, and by the time he said the word "miscellaneous fish", the head of Jia Twelve had already flown into the air.

Zhao Yun, who had already taken the lead in falling down from the treetops and stopped in front of Cui Yan's family, slammed his long sword to his chest, and said to the remaining Yuan family dead soldiers with a cold face: "You all have to die today!"

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Qingfeng's long sword came out of its sheath like a swimming dragon out of the water, and went straight to the door of the nearest dead soldier......
