Chapter Seventy-Two: Inuqiu Saves His Father
292
Let's say that the four of Long Zixi brought a lot of gifts, left Hojing, and came all the way to the southeast.
After a short day, he passed through the country of Xiyu and entered the boundary of the West Dog Rong.
Zhuoermeidao:
"That ridge mound mountain is in the southeast of the capital of Xirong country, Dog Hill, where you want to go, Dog Hill is...... Yes, it's a must-go. ”
Longzi West Road:
"I think it's been more than ten years since I last came to this Dog Hill, and I don't know what changes have happened in this Dog Hill City?"
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"The big brother who can't change doesn't care, it's just better not to bump into the immortals of the Western Regions and others, so as not to cause trouble."
Third Brother Fang smiled:
"If you want to say that the best person to recognize is Brother Huo, everyone else is no longer what they used to be, even if they meet, the immortals of the Western Regions may not be able to recognize it.
"By the way, Brother Huo, if you encounter a haircut place again, Big Brother might as well shave all this red hair and red beard!"
Huoyunqi touched his beard and said:
"That's not going to happen. Then you might as well shave my head! ”
Everyone laughed.
Longzi West Road:
"In any case, let's be careful not to cause trouble."
The four of them talked and walked, and soon came to Inuqiu City.
Look at that Inuhill City, there really hasn't been any major change.
Walking on the street, Long Zixi couldn't help but think of the old incident of the wise thief sword spectrum, and said in his heart:
It's hard to come up with such a clever plan for Zhuo Ermei, but unfortunately in the end, the sword score was lost by himself, and eighty percent fell into the hands of the immortals in the Western Regions, and I don't know if I can get it back?
Third Brother Fang remembered the incident of meeting the West Dog Rong Guards on Weirong Road, the capital of the Yanli Kingdom, and joked Zhuo Ermeidao:
"Brother and sister, do you remember the guards of the Xijon Kingdom in Weirong? Seeing that the younger siblings are still so radiant, you have to be careful! ”
Zhuo Ermei smiled:
"The third brother only knows how to make fun of the little sister! Now, who will pay attention to me, an old woman, except for my husband? ”
As he was talking, he was hit on his left arm.
At first glance, it was a middle-aged man who hurriedly walked past him.
The man thought that he had accidentally touched Zhuo Ermei, and he apologized and hurried away.
I saw the man go straight to a wall in front of him, where there were many people around, as if they were looking at the notice or something.
The people led their horses and quickened their pace.
Zhuo Ermei and Huo Yunqi knew the language of the Rong people, so they also squeezed over to watch.
This didn't matter, and Zhuo Ermei was stunned.
But seeing Zhuo Ermei watch for a while, he squeezed out of the crowd, pulled Long Zixi and left, until there was a place where no one was, and tears fell early.
Long Zixi didn't know what to do, and hurriedly asked:
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Na Zolmei sobbed and said:
"There's my father! They're going to kill my father! ”
Long Zixi saw that Zhuo Ermei was emotional, and he didn't ask her anymore, but asked Huo Yunqi instead:
"Big brother, what the hell is going on?"
Huoyun Qi Dao:
The proclamation said that several men had committed the crime of rebellion and would be beheaded in three days. Why, Miss Zhuo's father is among them? ”
Long Zixi saw that Huoyunqi didn't know the name of Zhuo Ermei's father, so he turned around and asked Zhuo Ermei:
"Madame, Hugh just cried. Tell me about it, what does it say, is there really my father-in-law? ”
Zhuo Ermei wiped away her tears and nodded:
"I see it for sure, with the name of my father, Gatula! Say yes...... Guilty of rebellion. Father...... How can you be rebellious? ”
Third Brother Fang persuaded:
"Brother and sister really see it? Maybe it's the same name, but it's not accurate, brother and sister and don't be anxious. ”
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"Why don't we find a place to stay first, and then the eldest brother will go and inquire in the evening. See how the end goes. ”
The four of them hurriedly found an inn, and after a hasty dinner, Third Brother Fang and Huo Yunqi went out to inquire about the news.
Long Zixi accompanied Zhuo Ermei to wait in the store, but he was uneasy.
After about an hour and a half, Huo Yunqi came back alone.
Long Zixi hurriedly asked:
"How's it going? What about Third Brother Fang? ”
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"I'll talk about Third Brother Fang's matter later. The father of the younger brother and sister is the owner of the Wudou Village? ”
Zhuo Ermei nodded, his heart was already pinched, and he listened to Huo Yunqi continue:
"That's it!
"Third Brother Fang and I have arrested a guy, who is a small leader of the Mage's Mansion.
"According to him, ten days ago, your father and your brother went to Beijing to pay tribute, but because they did not give a heavy gift to the protector, they were sued by the protector in front of the old lord.
"said that your father had been disobedient to discipline for many years and did not serve in the army, and that he had fled more than ten years ago and deliberately did not take you ...... Marry the crown prince.
"The old lord was furious, so he arrested your father and brother on charges of rebellion."
Zhuo Ermei urgent:
"It turns out that there is still an elder brother! How are they? ”
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"They are being held in the prison of the Criminal Department, and they are fine for the time being."
Long Zixi thought: Protector Mage? It turns out that it is still the immortals of the Western Regions! I can't help but hate the immortals of the Western Regions. Road:
"Hmph, it's really not like they don't get together. We don't want to provoke him, but he comes to provoke us. This time, I won't let him go! ”
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"I know that my brother will save them, and Third Brother Fang and I have already asked the location and path of the prison of the Criminal Department clearly.
"In other things, I have planned a rescue plan for my brother."
Long Zixi was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but secretly admire Huo Yunqi in his heart.
Zhuoermei has long been unable to hold back:
"Brother Huo, tell me how you are going to rescue them?"
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is not an easy place to deal with, no use of force, only outwitting. Without further ado, come with me! ”
293
At that moment, Long Zixi and Zhuo Ermei followed Huoyun out of the inn.
Turn left and right, and you will come to the edge of the city.
Long Zixi saw a dilapidated house in the night.
The three of them saw that there was no one around, and entered the house.
Long Zixi saw at a glance that Third Brother Fang was sitting on a broken chair with a person tied up next to him.
Long Zixi immediately understood, Third Brother Fang was originally here to watch the little boss who had been arrested.
When he entered the house, since Long Zixi did not understand the language of the Rong people, Huo Yunqi had a conversation with the little leader, and Zhuo Ermei translated it to Long Zixi.
But seeing that Huoyun Qi Huer's face was fierce, and Huer's face was pleasant, the man was frightened, hesitated, and vomited, and the two talked for a long time.
In order to cover people's eyes and ears, he didn't dare to raise his voice.
In the end, Huo Yunqi also took out a lot of money and put it in front of the man.
But it was Huo Yunqi who threatened his family's lives and lured him with money, asking the man to find a few sets of official uniforms and lead them to the prison of the Criminal Department.
The man refused at first, but finally agreed.
Seeing that the man agreed, Huoyun Qi said to Long Zixi and the three people:
"The brothers will wait here first, and I'll come with this guy."
After speaking, he grabbed the man's wrist with his right hand and pulled the man out of the house.
Long Zixi and the three of them stayed in the house and waited, but they were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what the result would be.
After a while, Third Brother Fang leaned on the door and looked out.
At this time, it was about mid-hour, and it was dinner time, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
Occasionally, someone walked past the front of the house, but no one paid attention to this side of the house.
After about half an hour, Huoyunqi pulled the man back again.
The man put down a few sets of clothes.
And the crowd did not speak, but hurriedly put them on.
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"We're going to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Remember, don't speak, I'll take care of it. ”
Everyone nodded.
At that moment, it was Third Brother Fang who went to the door first and looked at it, then turned around and nodded at everyone.
And they went out of the house, and went after him.
Huoyun Qi was next to the man, still clasping the man's wrist with his right hand.
294
After a short walk, I arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but it was a courtyard with several rows of houses.
At the four corners of the courtyard were raised four high platforms, each with oil lamps, guarded by two soldiers.
There were also oil lamps hanging at the main entrance, but there were six soldiers, two with scimitars at their waists, four with halberds, three on one side and three on both sides.
The soldier at the door obviously knew the little leader, and when he saw him, he said something.
He looked at the people of Longzixi again and again.
Seeing that the little leader talked to several soldiers for a long time, one of the soldiers just shook his head.
Zoermei naturally knew what they were talking about, and the more she listened, the more anxious she became.
It turned out that the little leader said that he had been ordered by the mage to interrogate Galatu's father and son.
The guard asked the little boss for the mage's token.
The little leader obviously didn't expect this verse, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, the little boss is also clever, and when did it stipulate that he had to take a mage token? We have come here at the behest of the Master.
The guard just wouldn't agree.
Seeing that things were not in order, Huo Yunqi secretly pulled off the little boss's hand, and the little boss said, Okay, let's go back and get the token.
Several people had to leave the prison.
When she came to a secluded place, Zhuo Ermei had already told Long Zixi and Third Brother Fang about the situation, and the two of them were stunned for a while.
After discussing for a while, Long Zixi said:
"If you don't do it, you don't do it! Just let that little boss take us to meet the immortals of the Western Regions! ”
Huoyunqi nodded:
"For the sake of the present, it has to be like this. It's just that brothers should not move lightly, just act when the opportunity arises! ”
Then he talked to the little leader for a while.
When the little leader heard this, his face was terrified, and he refused to go forward.
Huo Yunqi said to him in their language:
"Now that you've helped us, how can you get out of it? After the deed is done, we will give you a lot of money, and we will let you take your family away and fly away. ”
The little leader hesitated again and again, thinking that what Huo Yunqi said was reasonable, and finally agreed.
Long Zixi is a bold and righteous person, and it is still early to see that it is too early, so he thought about it and said:
"Brother Huo, you ask him, what are his relatives and friends? Let him send his family away first. ”
Na Zhuo Ermei was anxious, she just wanted to rescue her father and brother quickly, and she didn't want to have more trouble, but when she saw that Long Zixi was righteous and refused to harm the little leader, she didn't say anything.
At that moment, Huo Yunqi told the little leader what Long Zixi meant, and the little leader showed gratitude and said something to Huo Yunqi.
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"A few of us went back to the inn and waited for the horses, and I figured we would have to leave overnight. I'll accompany this man to get things sorted out and I'll be back soon. ”
Two breakups.
Long Zixi, Third Brother Fang, and Zhuo Ermei returned to the inn and made preparations, and Huoyunqi accompanied the man.
About an hour later, about the end of the war, Huo Yunqi returned with the little leader.
Huoyun Qi said to everyone:
"It's arranged, let's go to the Mage's Mansion."
295
The Mage's Mansion is not too far from the inn.
At this time, there were few pedestrians on the street, and a few people walked five or seven miles, turned two corners, and saw a mansion with two guards guarding the door.
The little leader led the people to the door.
They knew each other, and after a few words, the little leader said something to the fire.
Zhuo Ermei understood, but said that the mage had not yet rested, and only two people could enter.
As soon as the three of them discussed, Long Zixi and Huoyun went in.
Long Zixi waited for the house to enter the mansion, and came to the door of a house, and saw that there was also a person who looked like a guard guarding there.
The little leader asked the doorman to go in and report it, and told the doorman that he had something important to tell the protector.
After a while, the man came out to invite him, and Long Zixi and his party entered the house.
But seeing a person pacing in the house with his hands behind his back, the man turned his face, and Long Zixi couldn't help but be surprised!
That person was not an immortal from the Western Regions, but a subordinate of the immortal from the Western Regions more than ten years ago, named Wei Can, but he was slightly older than then.
The man was also shocked when he saw Long Zixi and Huo Yunqi, and vaguely felt that the two were familiar, so he was about to ask, but Long Zixi had already grabbed his side and grabbed his wrist.
Long Zixi laughed in a low voice:
"Master Wei, do you still know each other?"
That Wei Can looked Long Zixi up and down, and said in a trembling voice:
"You...... Are you Ryuzixi? ”
Longzi West Road:
"It's down there. What, have you become a protector? What about the immortals of the Western Regions? ”
That Wei Can was very surprised when he first saw Long Zixi, and gradually calmed down at this time, and smiled slightly:
"The immortals of the Western Regions resigned more than ten years ago, did Long Daxia know? In the next is not talented, inheriting the old man's wrong love, and living in this position. I don't know that the dragon hero is coming, I will miss the distance, forgive my sins! ”
Long Zixi didn't know the details, he didn't dare to be careless, he still clasped Wei Can's wrist, and said:
"Master Wei, Ming people don't say secret words. In the next day, only for my father-in-law, Gatula. ”
That Wei Can was not in a hurry:
"Oh? So, Miss Zhuoermei is still alive, and you are married? ”
Long Zixi nodded:
"Exactly. I hope that adults will be fulfilled. ”
Na Wei Can sighed lightly:
"That's really gratifying! Originally, as soon as the hero came, the subordinate officials responded to the order and released Gatula. It's just that...... Hey, Nagatula was seized by the order of the old lord himself, this ......"
Huo Yunqi was afraid that things would change over time, so he sneered:
"Why is it difficult for Lord Wei? Who doesn't know that you are now in a high position of power, and you can say nothing? Today, you have to put it too, and you have to put it if you don't put it! ”
That Wei Can was talking and secretly lucky, but he found that Long Zixi's hand holding his wrist was like an iron tong, how could he earn a penny? After thinking about it, he said:
"That's it! I have always admired Long Daxia very much, and today I am willing to be an adult. But ......"
Long Zixi stared at Wei Can:
"But what?"
That Wei Can smiled bitterly:
"If I let you go like this, how can I explain to the old lord? Unless...... Unless, in the next defeat to the hero, you are injured, there is nothing you can do......"
Long Zixi understood.
Thinking about it, then Wei Can just wanted to avoid responsibility in order to protect himself. Sidewalk:
"Tell me how to let my father-in-law go. I'm not going to involve you. ”
Na Wei Can pointed to a drawer next to him with his other hand:
"There's my token there. You take my token, and all you say is that I will interrogate the Gatulla father and son, and get out of prison, so go straight away! ”
Huo Yunqi went over and pulled the drawer open and took out the token.
When Long Zixi saw that the token was in his hand, he suddenly swung his left palm and hit Wei Can's left temple.
Na Wei Can didn't make a sound, and his body slowly softened.
was knocked out by Long Zixi.
Long Zixi helped him to lie down on the bed, thinking about it, he was still not at ease, and ordered him a few more points, so that even if Wei Can woke up, he couldn't speak for two or three hours, let alone get up.
After doing this, Long Zixi cut the lamp twist with a sword again, and estimated that a cup of tea would burn out and extinguish, and went out of the room with the little leader.
When he reached the door, the little leader said something to the doorman.
But he told the doorman that the master said that he would rest for a while, and he would no longer see any guests, and no one was allowed to go in and disturb him without being summoned by the master.
At that moment, the three of them left the Mage's Mansion, saw Third Brother Fang and Zhuo Ermei, and didn't say much, and came to the prison again.
This time, with the token, it went very well.
The jailer opened the cell door and released Gatula and the Ughudu, respectively, and handed them over to the people of Longzixi.
The two of them didn't recognize Long Zixi and Zhuo Ermei, and they didn't speak, they were escorted by Huo Yunqi and Fang Sange, and walked out with a few people.
Seeing that her father and brother were wearing chains and their faces were haggard, Na Zhuo Ermei was heartbroken, but she could only remain silent.
Not far from the prison gate, they turned a street, and when they saw that they were about to be done, suddenly a dozen people rushed out from both sides of the door, rushed straight at them, and without saying a word, slashed with their knives.
296
Let's say that Long Zixi and others saved Gatula's father and son, and they were not far from the prison gate, when they were suddenly attacked by someone.
The matter was in a hurry, and Long Zixi and others hurriedly met the enemy.
After a few fights, Zhuo Ermei whispered:
"Second brother! It's your own people! ”
Everyone stopped, and saw a person on the other side also shouting in a low voice:
"Little sister! Is that you? ”
That man was none other than Bakiyi, the second son of Gatula.
It turned out that after getting the news that his father and brother were being detained by the old lord and intended to be executed, Bakiyi was very anxious, and immediately ordered a group of warriors to come to the dog Rong.
Nabaki also had some strategy, and he sneaked into the city with a dozen warriors, but left more than 20 people near the city gate to respond.
After two nights in a row, he found that the prison was heavily guarded and difficult to start, so he lurked outside the prison and looked for an opportunity to save people.
Long Zixi and the others pretended to be the order of the mage to raise the two of Gatula, and they were naturally watched by them in the dark.
The few people they saw were all dressed in official uniforms, and they vaguely heard what mages, arraignments, etc., only said that it would be unfavorable to their father and brother, so they suddenly attacked halfway, and they wanted to surprise them, but who knew that they had broken a big thing.
Do you think, at this time, Long Zixi and they have not left the prison too far, in the dead of night, swords and guns intersect, how can they not alarm others?
There were only a few guards in the prison, but in fact there were more than 30 soldiers stationed in it, and when they heard the sound of weapons intersecting in the alley not far away, they quickly got up, hurriedly dressed themselves, and chased them out with swords in hand.
At that moment, before he had time to ask in detail, Long Zixi shouted:
"Everyone, go! After I broke off with Brother Huo! ”
Nabaki, along with a dozen warriors, also had horses, and at that moment they all mounted their horses and rushed to the gates.
The soldiers at the city gate had also noticed that there was a change in the city, but when the night was approaching, they were finally slow to react, and before they could understand what was going on, they were attacked by the warriors who were ambushed by Bakiyi, and they were killed or wounded, and lost the strength to resist.
Long Zixi and his entourage rushed to the edge of the city, and when they saw the city gate wide open, they were overjoyed, and rushed out of the city of Dogrong.
The little leader had disappeared for some time, and he thought he had fled for his life.
The people didn't care about him, but urged the horses to hurry.
I couldn't go more than five miles, but I heard a loud shout from behind, and a team of people, two or three hundred people, carrying torches, came from behind.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Long Zixi shouted:
"You go first! Brother Huo and I blocked the pursuers! ”
Zhuo Ermei missed her husband and refused to leave first, so she stayed.
The three of them immediately took the lead, and after a while, the pursuers were already approaching.
When the first general saw that someone was blocking the way, he stopped the horse, and when he saw that the three of them were wearing the clothes of the guards of Xijon, but they did not recognize them, he shouted:
"Be bold! Is it a rebellion? ”
Long Zixi was quite familiar with the voice, and took a closer look through the light of the torch, who was the prince who was not the prince?
Long Zixi is a frank person, but also a high and courageous artist, how can he be the shrinking turtle? Immediately shouted loudly:
"The prince is invited! Do you remember Long Zixi? ”
The prince was obviously surprised:
"Dragon...... Longzi West! How are you? ”
Many of those soldiers knew about Long Zixi, and some of them whispered at the moment, and some of them had seen Long Zixi brave and invincible many times, and they were timid.
Long Zixi laughed:
"Prince! Your Highness probably doesn't know yet, right? Under the marriage of Zhuo Ermei. Now that my father-in-law and uncle are in trouble, how can I not save them? ”
The prince was shocked again:
"Zhuo Ermei, she ...... She's alive? ”
Zhuo Ermei was infected by Long Zixi, and she was also very proud, and replied:
"Grass people Zhuoermei has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
When the prince saw Zhuo Ermei dressed in men's clothes, but he was slender and full of charm, he was already moved in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sad:
Alas, my life is only miserable! If you want to marry Princess Shenhou but can't, she is Zhuo Ermei, and she has also become someone else's wife!
I couldn't help but be discouraged, seeing that the people of Gatula had gone away, and seeing Long Zixi holding a long sword in his hand, majestic and majestic, Huoyun Qi was carrying a long pole cigarette pouch, his strange eyes were wide open, just waiting to fight, and he saw that Zhuo Ermei smiled slightly, without fear, and sighed:
"That's it! Wait a minute! ”
After speaking, he glanced at Zhuo Ermei again, waved his hand, and led the troops back.
