Chapter 221: Call for help
Xu Jing seemed to be blocked by something, and wanted to cover up the past as if nothing happened, but his eyes turned red uncontrollably.
God knows how he's survived these days.
Since receiving Xu San's letter, his heart has been like fried oil every day, and he can't sleep and eat.
If it weren't for the remnants of his sanity, he would have been unable to hold back and rush back to the capital.
"Chunsheng," the prince looked at Xu Jing's reddened eyes, his heart was inexplicably heavy, and he changed to a more affectionate title: "Tell me, what happened?" Is it Uncle and Aunt Beihai Wang, or your sisters, or your crescent sister? ”
As soon as the three words of the crescent moon entered his ears, Xu Jing's whole body was shocked, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Cousin, don't ask." When I return to the capital, I will tell you all about this matter. ”
Sure enough, Zhao Xiyan had an accident!
A series of thoughts flashed through the prince's mind, and he didn't know what he thought, and his eyebrows sank.
"Chunsheng, you don't want to stay in Jizhou." The prince said in a low voice: "You lead your own soldiers to take the first step and rush back to the capital early." ”
"The battle is over, I have the Praetorian Guard by my side, and tens of thousands of troops, so you don't have to worry about your safety."
Xu Jing was impulsive, and was about to take a bite. The words of Zhao Xiyan's repeated instructions in the letter suddenly flashed in his mind.
This time he went out with the prince, and everything must be based on the prince.
If he returns to Beijing first, if the prince makes any mistakes during this time, the Great Jin Dynasty will immediately fall into chaos and turmoil. He will regret it too.
"Cousin, I understand your kindness." Xu Jing exhaled deeply: "I'll go back to the capital with you." ”
The prince was silent for a long time. Then, he summoned the prince of Zhongyong Hou Dingguo and General Murong to come.
"Jizhou has been pacified, and the lonely order was passed on, and the soldiers were ordered to leave for Beijing in ten days."
As soon as the prince's words came into his ears, the prince of Dingguo and the Marquis of Zhongyong were shocked.
Before, didn't the prince plan to stay in Jizhou for another month? Why do you suddenly want to go back to Beijing?
General Murong was the first to give up his hand to receive the order: "The last general will receive the order, and this will pass on His Highness's message." ”
The prince of Dingguo and the loyal and brave marquis set their minds and surrendered their orders together.
It has been half a year since he left Beijing, and the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can live in the military camp for so long is enough to be impressive. Now that the war has been decided, the bandits in Jizhou have almost been swept away. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go back if you want!
Xu Jing didn't say anything.
After the three princes of Dingguo retired and left, Xu Jingcai said in a low voice with red eyes: "Thank you, cousin." ”
The prince got up, put his hand on Xu Jing's shoulder, and said in a gentle but firm voice: "Remember, no matter what, I am on your side." ”
Xu Jing's nose was sour, and he suddenly grabbed the prince's arm and put his face between the prince's sleeves.
The sleeves quickly became wet.
The prince's heart was inexplicably heavy.
has been together day and night for more than a year, and the Xu Jing he saw was always cheerful and high-spirited. It's the first time I've seen you crying silently like this.
Perhaps, this moment is the most real Xu Jing.
After a long time, Xu Jing's mood calmed down. He wiped his face vigorously and said in a low voice, "Cousin, I'll go back to the military tent to pack my luggage." ”
The prince nodded and watched Xu Jing's figure leave.
Xu Jing's military tent was very close to the prince's military tent, and the tea kung fu arrived.
After Xu Jing returned to the military tent, he first asked people to prepare water, and after bathing, he changed into new clothes. In the evening, Xu Jing came out of the military tent, and he still looked like he was in high spirits on weekdays.
"Cousin, I'm here again!" Xu Jingren's voice came before he arrived: "Hurry up and let people prepare some delicious food, I'm so hungry that I can swallow a cow." ”
The prince laughed and ordered dinner to be prepared. He also ordered someone to invite the prince of Dingguo and others to come over and dine together.
That night, the prince wrote a letter to his family, which was sent to the capital as soon as possible.
……
"Miss, it rained last night."
Early in the morning, the hosta pushed open the window and glanced out: "It hasn't stopped yet!" ”
Zhao Xiyan snorted, got up to stay, freshened up and dressed, and after breakfast, he went to the eaves of the porch.
Last night there was a shower, and today the rain is flying, drifting into the eaves of the porch with the wind. Zhao Xiyan's skirt was a little wet.
Zhao Xiyan didn't care, she still sat and slowly flipped through the book in her hand.
There was a knock on the door.
The faces of the four secret guards under the eaves of the corridor changed suddenly, and two of them stepped forward and stared at Zhao Xiyan. The other two, staring closely at the courtyard gate.
There was a few more knocks on the door.
In the eyes of outsiders, the house has been locked and uninhabited. There are often naughty children throwing stones and smashing doors.
At the moment, this knock on the door is obviously not the work of a child, unhurried, and keeps ringing.
The guards glanced at each other, each with a fierce look in their eyes. One of them reached out to "support" Zhao Xiyan's arm. The other went to pull the hosta.
A hint of determination flashed in the hosta's eyes, and she suddenly shouted: "Save the girl!" ”
Before the words fell, he was hit on the head by the dark guard, and his eyes were black, and he fainted.
"Hosta!" Zhao Xiyan was shocked and angry, and his voice suddenly rose.
The secret guard didn't say a word, and quickly shot out and clicked on Zhao Xiyan's dumb hole. One left and one right forcibly helped Zhao Xiyan away, Zhao Xiyan couldn't speak, and struggled fiercely.
During this period of time, Zhao Xiyan behaved exceptionally calmly, and almost never had a gaffe. The guards were accustomed to the silence of this Zhao girl. The fierce resistance at this time, with their skills, is naturally not afraid.
However, they had to take Miss Zhao to hide in the secret passage immediately, and the knock on the door became more and more urgent, and they couldn't delay any longer.
However, Gongzi once issued a strict order that no matter at any time, he could not hurt Miss Zhao for a single star.
The tallest secret guard gritted his teeth, glanced at the people around him, and twisted Zhao Xiyan's arm together.
Zhao Xiyan didn't care about the pain of his arm being twisted, and struggled with all his strength. The golden hairpin on his head slipped and fell to the ground in the struggle.
There was already an exclamation outside the door: "In broad daylight, how can these people climb over the wall!" ”
"Shut up and go home!"
The secret guard was in a hurry, so he had to make a move and knocked Zhao Xiyan unconscious.
Four other guards rushed over. and the cooks and maids who are usually responsible for serving the meals also rushed out without saying a word.
There were three men who came in over the wall, and they were Xu Jing's personal soldiers who had been searching for Zhao Xiyan's whereabouts.
The pro-soldiers were divided into dozens of groups, each with three people, scattered throughout the capital. These three soldiers stayed in this fang market for several days, searched carefully, and finally found Hulu Lane.
The people living in Hulu Alley are ordinary people, and the small houses at the end of the alley have been empty for more than a year. The pro-soldiers, as usual, knocked on the door unhurriedly. There was no response, so I climbed over the wall and searched around the house. The pro-soldiers have done this very skillfully.
Unexpectedly, a young girl's screaming voice suddenly came from the house.
When the phrase "save the girl" came to their ears, the soldiers were so excited that they almost burst into tears.
Finally found it!
