Besides, Zhou Yuanzhi returned to Caizhou with the Huang Chao army, and along the way, Huang Chao saw his daughter's haggard face, and wanted to order the army to stop advancing several times and let her rest for a while, but Zhou Yuanzhi refused. Zhou Yuanzhi asked about the cause of her mother many times, and Huang Chao was all hesitant, looking around at him. As soon as Zhou Yuanzhi entered Caizhou City, she asked to visit her sick mother, but Huang Chao couldn't resist her daughter, so she had to let her go to see her wife, but secretly sent soldiers to monitor.

Zhou Yuanzhi thought about her mother and didn't notice it, she entered the palace, carefully pushed open the door of her mother's room, and saw her mother sitting on the edge of the bed doing needlework, and there was a maid beside her who was carefully serving with tea.

When the maid saw Zhou Yuanzhi coming back, she smiled and replied, "Madame, Miss is back to see you!"

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "It's Zhi'er who is back! Come to my mother's side, my mother hasn't seen you for a few days, and when you get married in the future, it will be even more difficult for my mother to see you!"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that her mother was smiling, not like she was sick, she was full of suspicion, walked up to her mother, and asked softly: "Mother, my daughter heard that you are sick?

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she was also very surprised, put down the needle and thread in her hand, and complained: "Yuan'er! In broad daylight, what are you talking nonsense, isn't my mother good? Where did you get sick and painful, but she was angry that her daughter didn't come back to see me often." Zhi'er, you've been back to Caizhou for so long, and you don't come to talk to your mother, even if your mother is sick, it will make you mad!"

Only then did Zhou Yuanzhi know that she had fallen into Huang Chao's bitter plan, and said with a long sigh: "Mother, it's good that you are not sick! The daughter is not filial and cannot always be with her knees, and the daughter hopes that her mother can live a long life and be blessed and healthy!"

Mrs. Huang said again: "Zhi'er, my mother also hopes to live a little longer, and she also wants to bring my grandson to Zhi'er?

Zhou Yuanzhi saw what had happened to her these days, and her mother didn't know about it, so she had to reply: "Xu Zhi has something to do, not in Caizhou!"

Mrs. Huang obviously didn't believe it, and complained: "You two won't be awkward! Zhi'er, you are a girl, treat Xu Zhi more docilely!"

Zhou Yuanzhi snuggled up to Mrs. Huang's side and said coquettishly: "Mother, look at your chatter, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are about to become a long-tongued resentful woman!

Mrs. Huang saw that Zhou Yuanzhi had just arrived, and she was going out again, so she persuaded: "Zhi'er, it's not that my mother said you! You are a girl's family, don't fight and kill outside all day long, those are all men's things, you had better stay at home and learn some needlework from your mother, and when you get married in the future, you can maintain the family, this is what we women should do." ”

Zhou Yuanzhi was angry in her heart, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure in front of her mother, so she had to sit down patiently and talk a lot with her wife before leaving.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Huang Chao was not trustworthy, regardless of the relationship between father and daughter, fortunately her mother was in good health, and she had nothing to remember about this family, she made up her mind to say goodbye without saying goodbye, leaving Caizhou, the place of right and wrong, going to Baiting to meet Xu Zhi, and wander the world together.

Who knew that Zhou Yuanzhi was just about to step out of the house, and suddenly the door was closed, and several fierce family members took ropes, surrounded her, and said to her with a smile: "Miss, I'm sorry! Huang Wang ordered, in the future, without his order, Miss is not allowed to leave the house, let the little ones watch you all the time, if you leave the palace without permission, the little ones will die!"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that the scene was wrong, and was about to jump on the wall, but she was tripped by a rope under her feet, and several family members rushed up and tied Zhou Yuanzhi firmly with ropes, making her unable to move, and locked her in the boudoir in the east chamber.

Zhou Yuanzhi's hands and feet were tied, so she had to pull her throat and shouted loudly in the boudoir: "Daddy, let your daughter out, you can't trap your daughter here! Daddy, you can't talk and don't count, your daughter wants to go out!", but even if she screamed through her throat, no one cared about it.

Zhou Yuanzhi gradually shouted hoarsely, lost her strength, lost all her thoughts, and sat down on the ground.

Besides, since Huang Chao tricked Zhou Yuanzhi home, he saw his daughter yelling in the room all day long, like a crazy woman, knowing that her mind was still on Xu Zhi's side, and her heart was angry and troubled. One day, he was sitting alone in the conference hall in a daze, and suddenly saw the housekeeper Huang He come in to pass the word, saying that General Zhu Wen and Zhu asked to see him, and Huang Chao hurriedly ordered Huang He to let General Zhu come in and talk.

Zhu Wen entered the conference hall and saw Huang Chao sitting there alone, frowning and sullen, knowing that Huang Chao was worried about Zhou Yuanzhi's affairs, so he took a few steps closer and shouted: "Huang Wang is above, his subordinate Zhu Wen is here!"

Huang Chao saw Zhu Wen approaching, so he came back to his senses, quickly stood up, and said, "It's Brother Zhu Xian, please sit down!", and ordered the maids and maids around him to quickly serve tea and pour water.

Zhu Wen saw that Huang Chao was unhappy, and asked tentatively: "Huang Wang, are you worried about Princess Yuanzhi again?"

Huang Chao smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, let the virtuous brother see the joke! Yuan Zhi grew up with her old husband since she was a child, just like her own daughter, how do you know that she abandoned her parents and abandoned her wealth for the sake of a flurry boy Xu Zhi! Silly daughter, you are a great unfilial piety to your parents!"

Zhu Wen hurriedly comforted: "The princess is still young, too stubborn, and can't understand the hard work of being a parent!", as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Yuanzhi's heart-rending cry from the next room.

Zhu Wen deliberately asked in surprise, "Why did the Yellow King detain the princess?"

Huang Chao replied: "Brother Xian, you have heard it, this is also no way, let her out, let her out, by her temperament, with a yellow haired boy who has no foundation to suffer, who in the world is not distressed as a father?

Zhu Wen said: "King Huang doesn't have to worry, the so-called bell also needs to be tied to the bell, and his subordinates are foolish: in addition to the princess's heart disease, the root cause is still on Xu Zhi's side, this Xu Zhi and Huifeng are very cunning, last time not only robbed the death row and let go of the prisoners, but also provoked the relationship between me and the general Shang, let us fight each other, they held the princess hostage so that they escaped privately!"

Huang Chao sighed: "Yes, Brother Xian, you told me about this last time, but I didn't expect this Xu Zhi to be so cunning, that Hui Feng is fierce and ruthless, and his methods are despicable, and he is not a good person." Originally, I thought they were upright gentlemen, hot-blooded men, and I was also impressed by them, but now that I think about it, I really lost my eyes, but fortunately I didn't let Yuan Zhi follow them. ”

Zhu Wen said: "Although the princess is back, but her mind is still in Xu Zhi's mind, the so-called long pain is better than short pain, according to the foolish opinion of his subordinates, that Xu Zhi can't live in this world, we need to get rid of him as soon as possible, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and completely cut off the thoughts in the princess's heart, so as to save the princess's mind." ”

Huang Chao said helplessly: "Now I can only do this, so according to what Brother Zhu Xian sees, how should I get rid of that Xu Zhi?"

Zhu Wen said: "As long as King Huang agrees, his subordinates will arrange some people tonight to secretly go to the White Pavilion, which will result in the kid's life." ”

Huang Chao said worriedly: "It's easy to kill that Xu Zhi, but what if Zhi'er hears the news and looks for death and life?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile, "This subordinate has already thought about the Yellow King, as long as we do it unknowingly and don't leave any clues, what can the princess know about? She can't be sure that we did it, as long as Xu Zhi dies, after a long time, the princess will naturally slowly forget about him." ”

Huang Chao said: "Okay, then trouble Brother Zhu Xian to work hard tonight!"

Zhu Wen hurriedly bowed down and said: "Relieving the worries of the Yellow King is what his subordinates should do, so please wait for the good news of the subordinates!", after speaking, he said goodbye and went back to the house to prepare.

Besides, Xu Zhi waited for Zhou Yuanzhi's news in Baiting, unconsciously sunset in the West Mountain, the sky was getting late, a bright moon rose from the east, Xu Zhi had dinner early, sat quietly on the bed alone, closed his eyes and recuperated, secretly practiced Wudang's unique qigong, walked from the dantian, ran through Changhong, and returned to the intestines until he held his breath. After Xu Zhi finished practicing, he only felt that this qi and blood traveled all over his body, circulating repeatedly, continuously.

It turns out that this Wudang school's qigong pays attention to the calm mind as water when practicing, the mind has no distracting thoughts, and the highest level can perceive the small changes hundreds of meters away around him, even the fall of a leaf, the passing of a mosquito and fly. And Xu Zhi has experienced several hardships in his life, his mind is calm, he is not surprised, plus he has been practicing hard every day for a year, and gradually entered the best state of martial arts, and he has gained something: for example, at the beginning, he needed a pillar of incense to calm his breath, reconcile his mentality, and can only pay attention to his own breath, and cannot be aware of the things around him; now he only needs a moment of effort to enter a state of self-forgetfulness, and the sound of birdsong dozens of meters away, the sound of horses' hooves miles away, can be heard in his ears, and he can distinguish things.

After Xu Zhi finished practicing qigong, he practiced the foreign kung fu of the Wudang School, he first drew a simple Bagua direction in the house with his feet, and then turned his body, as fast as lightning, from the northwest direction of the dry position to the northeast direction of the Gen position, and then turned over and jumped to the south of the position, and then performed the Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword 48 styles again.

Xu Zhi finished adjusting his breath, and after practicing, he vaguely felt a figure shaking outside the window, thinking that there must be a large ambush outside the post house, and gradually heard a slight footstep approaching the door of the house , more than the beams, turned over a few tiles on the roof, opened a small skylight, only to see that the window of the house was pierced by a man in black with a bamboo pipe, this person kept blowing into the house into the poisonous mist, Xu Zhi hurriedly relied on the breath, after a while, a man in black tiptoed into the room, just as he approached Xu Zhi's bedside, lifted the quilt to take a closer look, Xu Zhi jumped from the roof, and shouted: "Who is Your Excellency, why do you want to assassinate me?"

The man in black didn't expect Xu Zhi to be behind him, he was obviously taken aback, and didn't answer, he turned around and threw a heavy punch at Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi waved his left hand to block the attack of the man in black, and when the two fists collided, he felt that the strength of this person was extremely strong, and he immediately slashed his right palm at the man in black.

The man in black lowered his head and flashed Xu Zhi's palm, not retreating, but advancing, an autumn wind swept the leaf legs, and kicked towards Xu Zhi's lower plate.

Xu Zhi hurriedly jumped up with his feet, took off a move to "welcome guests with pine", turned his right hand into a finger, and pointed at the eye acupoint on the face of the man in black.

The man in black had no choice but to take a step back, and actually used his two-finger Zen to clamp Xu Zhi's index finger, making him unable to move.

Xu Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly slammed the man in black down on the lower abdomen with his left hand, causing him to retreat.

The man in black retreated with his right leg and dodged Xu Zhi's blow sideways, he saw that Xu Zhi's body was empty, and his fists came out together, which was a move "Black Tiger Digging Heart".

Xu Zhi knew that this person's strength was huge, so he didn't dare to take the move, but jumped into the air, crossed the top of the man in black's head, and his backhand was a move "monkey picking peaches", hooking his hand and slashing at the back of the man in black's head.

The man in black squatted with his legs and raised his hands up, which was a move "Overlord Anti-Ding", Xu Zhi took advantage of the falling momentum, his palms came out, and the two of them slapped their palms together, with a loud bang, the man in black knelt on his knees, and Xu Zhi was also bounced off a zhang away.

Xu Zhi saw the man in black kneeling on the ground, and he punched him head-on, straight to his face

How do you know that the man in black did not retreat but advanced, flew up and kicked Xu Zhi, but he was also hit by a punch thrown by Xu Zhi, and the two fell to the ground at the same time, after the man in black fell to the ground, a carp turned over, jumped backwards, glanced at Xu Zhi, stumbled a few steps, sneered a few times, jumped out of the door, and shouted, "Arrows, fire!"

The black-clothed people who were ambushed in the surrounding grass jumped out in an instant, holding bows and arrows and torches in their hands, and threw the arrows and torches in their hands into the post house where Xu Zhi lived.

The black-clothed man at the head laughed proudly: "It's still General Zhu's strategy, it can be handled cleanly, leaving no traces!", and then ordered: "Everyone, keep a careful eye on all corners of this room for me, if Xu Zhi can't stand it and rushes out, shoot him with random arrows!"

The rest of the men in black agreed in unison: "Yes, my lord!"

Besides, Xu Zhi in the house was slightly injured, in order to survive, he first took off his shirt and danced his clothes to block the cold arrows that kept shooting, but there were more and more arrows, and his clothes were already full of arrows, and he gradually couldn't resist it. He used the smoke as a cover, by the light of the fire, to find a place to hide or a way to defend himself, he saw that there was no place in the house, only a big iron pot for cooking, he was in a hurry, he curled up his body with the iron pot, covered his vital place with the big iron pot, and thought to himself: first dodge the cold arrows and the fire.

After another pillar of incense, the black-clothed man led by him saw that the whole house was on fire and was about to collapse, but Xu Zhi in the house still did not move, and he never rushed out, thinking that he must have been killed by random arrows, or stunned by the smoke, and burned to death by the fire.

The black-clothed man led by him waited for a moment before he said in a loud voice: "Let's evacuate first! Hurry back tonight and ask Lord Zhu for help!", the black-clothed people around responded with a "no", and disappeared into the black jungle one after another.

Xu Zhi secretly poked his head out of the stove, he saw that the man in black did not evacuate with everyone, but left the white pavilion in the opposite direction, all the way to the north, he felt strange, weren't they in a group, he secretly crawled out of the iron pot, followed behind the man in black, and saw where he went?
