Chapter 230: Rescuing Murong
The simple sixteen words, Murong Xue read it several times.
Obviously, the strip of cloth was sent by Li Jiangyao's people from the Reverse Scale Division, and only they will do this, and only they have the ability to do so.
The purpose is to rescue yourself again.
Lao Jianhua should have left the Eastern Capital at this time because of some important things, so the good brothers Li Jiangyao and the Reverse Scale Division plan to launch an operation to rescue themselves at midnight tomorrow night.
The other party did not mention how Murong Xue needed to cooperate, indicating that he already had a careful plan, and he only needed to make corresponding preparations when the time came.
But the question is, what does it mean to "watch out for the lady, don't tell me"?
Murong Xue's first reaction was that the Reverse Scale Division had begun to doubt Rui Ji's identity.
Before, because he learned about Hua Niang, he was also suspicious of the relationship between Rui Ji and Lao Jianhua. But after observation and temptation, Murong Xue did not find any evidence that could prove that Rui Ji was a secret agent of Fengchen. Moreover, after so many hardships and twists and turns, Rui Ji has always had deep feelings for herself and never gave up, and there is no sign of fraud at all.
Just now, Rui Ji was still trying to persuade Murong Xue to keep the name of her loyal minister, and would rather suffer hardships with him than waver.
How could such a woman who understands righteousness be a meticulous work sent by Lao Jianhua?
Murong Xue felt that all the previous doubts and speculations had wronged this poor woman.
And the Reverse Scale Division must have followed the clues of the flower girl to determine that Rui Ji was suspicious, so he specially reminded himself not to tell her about the rescue. But this also means that in the rescue tomorrow night, Li Jiangyao and the Reverse Scale Division will most likely not plan to take Rui Ji with them, and will even take advantage of the chaos to kill the killer and kill this imaginary "spy" by the way.
Murong Xue thought secretly in her heart: No, Jiang Yao doesn't know Rui Ji, and the Reverse Scale Division is even more ruthless, but I can't be confused. What's more, Rui Ji now has my child, so I can't leave it alone no matter what!
Now he still has a little value to Lao Jianhua, his husband and wife have been treated so harshly, once he escapes alone, won't Rui Ji, who was left behind, face an even more miserable situation?
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you? What happened? Rui Ji asked with concern as she lay on her side on the couch.
Murong Xue pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked at Rui Ji: "Rui girl, you have been weak recently, and it is not easy to hurt your mind too much, and I have to deal with Lao Jianhua's interrogation, so I don't have the energy to take care of anything else." So, I always had a question in my mind, and I didn't have time to ask you. ”
"What's the doubt?"
"Your sister Renhime...... How can you know martial arts? Why did you appear in Luoyi? Murong Xue said in a deep voice: "I remember that you said that she was sold by Qinglou to a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, and she has not been heard from since. But she was with Di Xian's guards that day and almost snatched the prince. ”
Rui Ji smiled sadly and said, "Xianggong, the concubine knew that you would have this question. The good friend of Hua Niang back then was really a big official in the court, his surname was Xue, the official worshiped the squire of the Criminal Department, and had a deep friendship with Lao Jianhua. After Hua Niang's misfortune, although Lord Xue greeted Yihongyuan and took care of us sisters, he did not redeem the two of us. Once, Lao Jianhua came to Yihong Courtyard with him for recreation, and found that Lianji had good roots and bones and was suitable for martial arts, so he promised his sister through wine and passed on some practice methods to her. In this way, for more than a year, when Lao Jianhua occasionally came to drink, he taught Lian Ji martial arts, and my sister was also active by nature, and she was happy to learn some skills from him in order to protect my useless sister. Later, for some reason, Lao Jianhua disappeared for a long time and never appeared again. ”
She took a break, breathed a weak sigh of relief, and continued: "After that, our sisters were favored by benefactors one after another, and left the Qinglou to go their separate ways, completely cutting off contact. You asked me why Lian Ji suddenly appeared, and why she mixed with the enemy, but the concubine didn't know at all, let alone ask her sister in detail. If the prime minister is angry because of Lianji, and even suspects the concubine, the concubine will be speechless, but she will ask for death to prove her innocence! ”
Hearing her say so resolutely, Murong Xue didn't doubt him, and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?" If I had doubted, I wouldn't have asked you so face-to-face. It's only because there is an important matter in front of me that I need to give a clear explanation to others, so I will check with you. Don't be anxious and sad, lie down quickly. ”
Rui Ji was confused when she heard it: "Xianggong, what are you talking about?" What are the important things that need to be explained to others? ”
Murong Xue whispered in Rui Ji's ear: "Tomorrow night, the people of the imperial court will come to the rescue, before the time of the child, we must be prepared." ”
"Ahh Rui Ji's eyes lit up, and she looked at Murong Xue in disbelief: "Is it true?" ”
Murong Xue made a silent gesture, nodded at her, and said in a low voice: "Lao Jianhua has already left Luoyi, and no one in this place can stop my good brother Li Jiangyao, nor can he stop the powerful Reverse Scale Division." Tomorrow we will be saved. ”
As if inspired by this good news, Rui Ji's spirit immediately improved a lot. She couldn't hide her excitement and said happily: "That's really good! Thank you God and God for your blessing! Xianggong, you don't have to suffer anymore. ”
"It's that we don't have to suffer anymore." Murong Xue corrected.
Rui Ji nodded vigorously, her beautiful eyes full of light. After a while, she asked with a little worry: "Xianggong, the concubine is weak now, and she will drag you down tomorrow, what should I do?" ”
"It's okay." Murong Xue comforted: "How much can you weigh?" When the time comes, I will carry you on my back, and I will walk like a fly. ”
-
Early the next morning, when the sky was dark, Murong Xue and Rui Ji got up to freshen up, and while packing up their clothes, they anxiously waited for the sun to sink in the west and night to fall.
This whole day is really like a year for the two.
The more I look forward to the time passing quickly, the more I feel that time is like a snail, lying on the spot and not moving.
During this period, the handyman who delivered the meal came twice, but it was not the same person as yesterday. And this change made Murong Xue feel a little restless.
Looking forward to it, it was finally dark at night, and I could hear the drums beating the third watch on the upper floor, but Murong Xue and Rui Ji's originally hanging hearts were raised again.
He glanced at Rui Ji, who was slightly uneasy, and stood up lightly, slowly walked to the door, and looked out through the gap. In the dim line of sight, only the backs of the four Xuanjia soldiers could be seen standing guard, and there were figures patrolling back and forth in the distance.
Murong Xue couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, but she didn't expect that at this time, a gong suddenly sounded outside, followed by someone shouting everywhere: "Go to the water!" Let's go to the water! Come on, people, the back house is going to water! ”
This is Xie Guang's Taifu Mansion, and the place where Murong Xue was imprisoned was in the side courtyard to the east, and behind it was the residence of the Xie family. As soon as they heard that the house was on fire, the guards on the side courtyard were all nervous, and discussed with each other whether to run over to help put out the fire.
Murong Xue knew that this must be a means for the Reverse Scale Division to "attack the east and the west". He hurriedly asked Rui Ji to take out the cloth tape that he had prepared in advance, put it on himself first, and fix it firmly. When he escaped, he could use the cloth strap to secure Ruiji on his back.
The two were scrambling in the house, when a shout suddenly came from outside: "What person! ”
Immediately after four or five consecutive crossbow sounds, the Xuanjia Army guards let out a muffled howl, and the sound of fighting also sounded.
Before Murong Xue could react, the door was kicked open with a bang.
Three people dressed as Xuanjia soldiers rushed into the house, and said to Murong Xue at the head: "General Murong, we are from the Reverse Scale Division, and we have been ordered to save you." ”
With that, he took off a large bag from behind him, revealing a set of Xuanjia Army's military uniforms.
Murong Xue understood what he meant, and immediately asked, "What should my wife do?" ”
The man was slightly stunned, and said hurriedly: "We can only take you away alone!" ”
"That can't be!" Murong Xue's tone was resolute: "I won't leave her, otherwise I'd rather not leave." ”
The three agents looked at each other, completely unexpected.
The older spy on the left spoke: "General Murong, the inferior position is Wang Hai of the Luoyi Branch. Otherwise, you can go with our Qiao Zhang's order first, and I'll be responsible for covering Madame to find another way, how about it? ”
Murong Xue shook her head and replied undoubtedly: "If you want to leave, you must take her with you, I can move behind her back and not get in the way." ”
Qiao Shengchun gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "There's no time to grind!" Let's go together, we go together. Hurry up and change your clothes, Madame Zun...... I'll carry it! ”
Murong Xue hurriedly put on the Xuanjia Army uniform, Rui Ji was so frightened that she couldn't help but peek at the three people standing next to her. At this time, another spy ran in and reported: "Qiao Tou'er, most of the people in the house have gone to fight the fire, the passage has been cleared, and the streets outside are under control!" ”
Qiao Shengchun nodded, and his originally slightly nervous mood calmed down a little, and he said to Murong Xue: "General, Lao Jianhua and Di Xian left the Eastern Capital four days ago. We suspected that there was fraud, so we did not dare to act rashly. It wasn't until the brothers in Shaanzhou sent a message confirming that they had seen the old thief that we started the rescue plan. It is also God's blessing, Xie Bao led the army out of the city at noon today, and he is not in the house at the moment, so as long as we move quickly, we will be able to get out of danger safely. ”
Murong Xue fixed the last piece of arm armor and said with relief: "Without further ado, hurry up!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to pick up the somewhat limp Rui Ji, let her lie on his back, and then tied her waist tightly with a cloth belt.
Qiao Shengchun looked at the two of them helplessly, shook his head at Wang Hai again, and then waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”
