"Cai Hu, is Fan Shuxiang back?" Seeing Cai Hu walk in, Li Zhiyun, who was pacing back and forth in the house, hurriedly asked.

Cai Hu shook his head and said, "Not yet." Li Zhiyun couldn't help frowning. In the morning, Fan Shuxiang told him that he wanted to go out to buy something, and he agreed. However, Fan Shuxiang went out in the morning, and now it is the afternoon Shenshi, and she has not come back yet, Li Zhiyun was anxious, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Lord Wang, I went out to take a look just now, there are some suspicious people outside the courtyard, we may be targeted."

Li Zhiyun was just about to say something, when Xu Zisheng hurriedly walked in with his three brothers. As soon as he entered the house, he eagerly said: "Your Highness, I just got the news that Miss Fan was arrested by Zheng Lei's people on Changming Street. ”

"Huh?" When Li Zhiyun heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the enemy would move so quickly, could it be that their identities were exposed?

"Your Highness, Zheng Lei must know your identity, it's too dangerous for you to stay in the city any longer, let's leave quickly!" Xu Zisheng urged. In his mind, Li Zhiyun is his great benefactor, so his concern for Li Zhiyun is beyond words.

Li Zhiyun did not panic. He knows that in the face of difficult situations, the most important thing is to be calm. He thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, Miss Fan's life and death are uncertain, Xu Sunchen hasn't made a final decision yet, I can't leave at this time!" ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured," Xu Zisheng glanced back at his brother, "A few of us have already discussed, as long as Your Highness leads a large army to attack the city, we will desperately take the West Gate and welcome you into the city!" ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, we will do our best!" Those young men were strong-blooded, and they expressed their determination to Li Zhiyun one after another.

"I know what you want." Li Zhiyun frowned, "However, it's too dangerous to do this, you all have families, I must not let you take such a risk!" ”

"Your Highness! - "What else does Xu Zisheng want to say?"

Li Zhiyun interrupted him and said, "Zheng Lei didn't rush in to arrest people, but chose to kidnap outside, which shows that he still has concerns." Therefore, I am not in danger for the time being. ”

Xu Zisheng saw that what he said made sense, nodded, and no longer insisted that Li Zhiyun leave immediately.

After convincing Xu Zisheng, Li Zhiyun asked Cai Hu to go next door and call Wang Wenqing over. When Wang Wenqing came in, he took out the token from his sleeve and handed it to the other party: "Captain Wang, you quickly ride back to Gaoyang Town, and let General Qin lead the army to Xia County." It's the second quarter of Shen hour, and the army must arrive by midnight tomorrow. ”

Before leaving, he handed over the military power to Qin Qiong.

Wang Wenqing took the token, clenched his fists and said that he obeyed, turned around and walked out of the room, and went to the horse to set up a horse. Xu Zisheng sent a brother to lead him out of the corner gate of the courtyard and sent him out of the west gate all the way. After Wang Wenqing left the county seat, he galloped away with his horse and galloped away.

Li Zhiyun feels that the most important thing now is to rescue Fan Shuxiang as soon as possible. Miss Fan fell into the hands of the enemy, and every minute of delay would be more dangerous. He told Xu Zisheng what he thought, and then said, "Brother Xu, where do you think Zheng Lei will detain Miss Fan?" Xu Zisheng pondered for a moment and said, "There should only be two places, one is a military camp and the other is a private house." Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "Zheng Lei didn't arrest people with great fanfare, which means that he didn't want to alarm Lu Zongmao. Therefore, relatively speaking, it is more likely that he will detain Miss Fan in a private house. Let's go to his private house. ”

Li Zhiyun guessed correctly, Fan Shuxiang was indeed locked up in Zheng Lei's private residence.

This morning, after Fan Shuxiang left the ancestral hall of the Xu family, she walked less than a mile when she met seven or eight people with swords and swords on a street, and they blocked her way. When Fan Shuxiang saw that the other party was not good, she turned around and wanted to run, but there was a group of people behind her who blocked her escape.

There were more than a dozen people on the other side, and they surrounded her. Although Fan Shuxiang is empty-handed, with her martial arts, it is not impossible to snatch a weapon and fight a bloody way. However, in this way, it is tantamount to not confessing to oneself and completely exposing one's identity, then it will inevitably put the king of Chu in danger. Although Fan Shuxiang is very arrogant on weekdays, his head is not stupid. She knew that before she figured out the details and intentions of the other party, the best thing to do was to brake statically and do nothing. Therefore, she did not do anything to resist, but was restrained.

Fan Shuxiang was tied with his hands behind his back and locked in a room in the back house, where he was personally interrogated by Zheng Lei. Zheng Lei's eyes were full of hostility, staring at her viciously, and said loudly: "Tell me, who are you?" Fan Shuxiang glanced at him fiercely and said nothing.

"Come on, is the young man who is with you the King of Chu of Li Tang?"

……

Zheng Lei was originally a scoundrel, and he had neither experience nor patience in interrogating prisoners. He asked a few questions, and when he saw that the other party refused to speak, he started to think crookedly. He looked at Fan Shuxiang with squinting eyes, his heart was blazing with lust, he licked his chapped lips, and said with a lewd smile: "The little lady looks pretty good." You don't want to say it, and General Ben won't embarrass you, you just need to serve General Ben well. After that, he laughed and reached out to touch Fan Shuxiang's face.

Fan Shuxiang dodged his dirty hands and spat on him fiercely. Zheng Lei wiped the spit on his face and was about to get angry, when Zhou Jian called him outside the door, and he had no choice but to walk out. Zhou Jian said: "General, the King of Wei sent someone over and asked you to go to the Wei Palace." ”

When Zheng Lei heard this, he couldn't help frowning: It's almost dark this day, and Lu Chongmao still let him go to see him, so why don't you let people be quiet for a while? However, he didn't dare not go, so he had to say to Zhou Jian: "Okay, I'll come back after I go." You must take care of this little girl, and wait for me to come back and continue to interrogate. Zhou Jianyi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, general, she can't run." Zheng Lei nodded, turned around and hurried away.

Fan Shuxiang was relieved when he saw Zheng Lei go out. Just now, she had already thought that if Zheng Lei made further moves, she would kick him under the crotch and make him regret it for the rest of his life.

Li Zhiyun and Cai Hu, plus Xu Zisheng and his two brothers, a total of five people, came to the door of the backyard of Zheng Lei's private house. The courtyard door was closed, Li Zhiyun glanced at Cai Hu, Cai Hu used light skills, jumped onto the courtyard wall, and then jumped into the courtyard, opened the back door, and several people rushed into the courtyard.

The backyard of Zheng Lei's private house is quite spacious, in addition to the five main rooms, there are three wing rooms on the east and west sides. Under the cover of shade shrubs, several people sneaked up to the house. Li Zhiyun observed it and found that there was a room in the west wing with lights on, and there were two people guarding the door. It seems that Fan Shuxiang may be being held in that room.

To further confirm, they went around to the back of the wing and lay down under the window. Fan Hu poked through the window paper with one finger, approached the hole and looked into the room, then turned around and nodded at Li Zhiyun. Li Zhiyun waved his hand, and several people came to the front of the house. Cai Hu took the lead, rushed to him like lightning, and stabbed two guards to death with lightning speed.

Li Zhiyun pushed open the door and walked in, bringing in a gust of wind with him, which almost blew out the candle flame, and the room was dark for a while, and it was bright again in an instant. Fan Shuxiang was sitting on the bed, secretly sad, when he heard someone coming in, he looked up and found that it was Li Zhiyun, and quickly stood up and shouted, "Why are you?" Li Zhiyun put his index finger to his mouth and "shh

Fan Shuxiang took off his hands, turned around and hugged him excitedly. Li Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, feeling the girl's soft and plump body rushing into his arms, and the unique warm fragrance of the woman's body came to his nose, making him dizzy for a while. Cai Hu, who was following behind, saw it, turned around and walked out.

Li Zhiyun was squinting and enjoying, but Fan Shuxiang pushed him away, snatched the sword in his hand, turned around and ran out. Li Zhiyun had no choice but to follow out depressedly. Several people hurried out of the room and walked along the corridor to the outside. As soon as they walked to the Moon Gate, they happened to meet Zhou Jian with a team of soldiers coming to inspect.

As soon as Zhou Jian saw someone breaking into the backyard, he immediately shouted and commanded the soldiers to rush up. The two sides fought together. The soldiers under Zhou Jian can fight on the battlefield, but when it comes to one-on-one kung fu, they are not the opponents of Fan Shuxiang and Cai Hu at all. The two of them fought a bloody way, led Li Zhiyun and them to rush to the back door, opened the back door and escaped.

Zhou Jian was naturally unwilling, and led people to chase after him. They chased them all the way to the gate of the courtyard of the Xu ancestral hall, Zhou Jian didn't dare to trespass in, let his subordinates guard the door, and hurried back to report. He had just returned to the Zheng Mansion, and Zheng Lei had also returned from the Wei Palace, so he hurriedly stepped forward to report. As soon as Zheng Lei heard that the person had been rescued, he was suddenly anxious, and he was about to have a seizure when a person came over. This person's name is Deng Minghui, and he is a scout sent by Zheng Lei. He stepped forward, clenched his fists and said, "General, I'm back." ”

Zheng Lei temporarily threw Zhou Jian aside, looked at Deng Minghui and said, "Did you bring back any news?" ”

"Report to the general, the Tang army has arrived in Gaoyang Town."

When Zheng Lei heard this, he gasped and hurriedly said, "How many soldiers and horses do they have?" ”

"About five thousand people."

Zheng Lei knew that Gaoyang Town was so close to Xia County, and when Tang Jun arrived there, he must have come to Xia County. He didn't expect that Wei Chigong had just defeated a Tang army, and another Tang army came again. It's nerve-wracking that they're pressing every step of the way.

"General, the villain also heard a message."

"What's the news?" Zheng Lei was a little dazed.

"This Tang army was led by Li Tang's King of Chu. The villain entered the camp of the Tang army and heard that the king of Chu had brought a few people to Xia County in order to rescue the captured Li Xiaoji and others. ”

When Zheng Lei heard this, he immediately became as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "That's right, that prince is really the king of Chu of Li Tang." Zhou Jian on the side hurriedly said, "General, do you want to tell King Wei the news?" Zheng Lei nodded and said, "You two, follow me to see King Wei immediately." ”
