Chapter XXXVII

The mysterious man walked up to Xiao Zuo's side, smiled slightly, and said, "What is this brother's name?"

Xiao Zuo arched his hand and said, "In Xia Liuyan."

"Brother Liu, thank you for the reminder, don't worry, I will escort you to leave safely today. ”

"It's just that how did it end now?" Xiao Zuo frowned and set his eyes on Zhao Kuangyin.

The mysterious man was just about to answer, but at this moment, a black shadow came from the window on the side, so fast that Xiao Zuo and the mysterious man didn't have time to react.

The figure pinched a finger with his hand, and saw a sword qi coming towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man's eyes were sharp, and the skill of the person who came was so high that he didn't even notice it, but he didn't find it too late, only to see him flash his body suddenly, avoiding this sharp blow, the sword qi hit the pillar on the side, and an extremely deep crack appeared on the pillar in an instant, and the gradually dissipating sword qi stirred up the surrounding air to stir, forming a strong wind, so that the mask on the mysterious man's face was instantly scraped to the ground.

The mysterious person is harming people, how strong this sword qi is, if he hesitates a little and doesn't dodge it, he may have been seriously injured and fell to the ground. The person who released this sword qi was none other than Jian Yin Xiao Rin, who had been spying outside the palace. Xiao Rin had been looking for an opportunity to separate the mysterious man from Zhao Kuangyin, and at this time, he saw that the mysterious man walked towards Xiao Zuo, so he no longer hesitated, and a fierce absolute holy finger slapped towards the mysterious man.

The Absolute Saint Finger is the most powerful trick in Xiao Rin's Seven Absolute Sword Fingers, the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, shadowless and invisible, if it is not for the skill equal to his own master, he can't find it at all.

It's just that the power of this Absolute Saint Finger is only fifty percent of its peak state. Xiao Rin didn't know what the strength of the thieves in the palace was, so he didn't dare to be careless, but he didn't dare to strike with all his strength. He originally thought that the Absolute Saint Finger of the Five Successful Powers would be able to seriously injure the thief, but he didn't expect that the other party would be able to detect the sword qi.

Although this blow failed, Xiao Rin didn't take it to heart. The main purpose of his raid was not to injure the thieves, but to save Zhao Kuangyin from the thieves. At this time, although the mysterious man dodged the sword qi, he also created an opportunity for Xiao Rin. When the mysterious man dodged to avoid the sword qi and remembered Zhao Kuangyin, Xiao Rin was already standing beside Zhao Kuangyin and protected him.

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin got out of trouble, he shouted loudly outside the palace: "Where is the Japanese army, quickly take down this thief." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed into the palace and surrounded Xiao Zuo and the mysterious person. The mysterious man didn't expect this Xiao Rin to come so suddenly and so quickly, and he didn't even notice it when he peeked outside the door for a long time. In the current situation, it is difficult for him to escape, but he doesn't care too much about his safety, but looks at Xiao Zuo apologetically: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I've bothered you." ”

At this moment, Xiao Zuo's eyes were dull, and a pair of eyes were staring at the mysterious person's face. This face is so familiar, I have thought of it many times in the past five years, but it has not changed much until now.

This mysterious person is none other than Xiao Zuo's eldest brother Yin Amei. Xiao Zuo didn't expect that his reunion with his eldest brother would be in this situation. He really wanted to call Yin Amei a big brother, but in the current situation, this big brother said, he couldn't help but let his efforts over the past period of time go to waste, and more importantly, he also lost the opportunity to save Yin Amei.

"Quick, hold me back. Xiao Zuo hurriedly leaned towards Yin Amei's side. At this critical juncture, the only way he could think of was to let Yin Amei take him hostage and escape. It's just that it's no different from gambling, and it's the kind of gamble with a very low chance of winning.

What he gambled on was that his current weight in Zhao Kuangyin's mind, if Zhao Kuangyin didn't care about his life or death at all, or his value was far from meeting his expectations, then the final result of himself and Yin Amei would be buried in this palace.

Yin Amei was stunned, he didn't understand what Xiao Zuo was trying to do, how could he kidnap an assassin to threaten the emperor. He looked at Xiao Zuo, who was rushing towards his fake attack, and thought to himself, this little brother wouldn't be crazy.

"Quick, quickly restrain me, and then use it to blackmail Emperor Song. After getting close to Yin Amei, Xiao Zuo said in a very low voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

Although Yin Amei was confused, she saw that Xiao Zuo was so serious, so she didn't think about it anymore, and with a backhand blow and a grappling hand, she easily restrained Xiao Zuo.

"Your Majesty wants to put me to death, but you also have to think about the safety of this confidant of yours in my hands. Of course, Yin Amei didn't come up with these words herself, he relayed Xiao Zuo's whispers as they were. When he blurted out these words loudly, he realized that this Liu Yan was actually Emperor Song's subordinate, and he was so stupid that he almost regarded him as his own.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm Xiao Zuo, I'll explain to you when I escape. Seeing Yin Amei's angry face, Xiao Zuo hurriedly whispered.

Xiao Zuo's already annoyed and abnormal face was instantly filled with astonishment, this person was his sworn brother? He couldn't believe it, but he didn't completely disbelieve it. After all, now that the other party has allowed himself to be held hostage, he is really saving himself.

Forget it, it's better to wait for the escape, and then slowly and carefully interrogate, after thinking about it from the bottom of her heart, Yin Amei calmed down. He looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who was hesitant in the distance, waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to make a decision.

At this moment, the most nervous person in the entire hall is Xiao Zuo, his move is completely dependent on Zhao Kuangyin's attitude towards himself, and it is very likely that he will end up playing with fire and self-immolation. But in the face of his brother, he had no choice but to do so.

Zhao Kuangyin has never been able to make up his mind, on the one hand, he really wants to break this thief who wants to humiliate him into pieces, but on the other hand, Xiao Zuo's excellence makes it a little difficult for him to choose.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Pu and Gao Huaide also entered the hall and protected Zhao Kuangyin. Gao Huaide didn't know Xiao Zuo's details, thinking that he was a fine work sent by Jinling, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he shouted at Yin Amei: "I have never seen such a stupid thief as you, and you will not lose your mind and go crazy if you hold another thief hostage to negotiate conditions, haha!"

Gao Huaide's words made Zhao Guangyi very displeased. knew that Xiao Zuo had taken refuge in Zhao Song, except for Zhao Kuangyin, only Zhao Guangyi was left. He has always been very optimistic about Xiao Zuo, and if Xiao Zuo dies here today, it will be a thing he regrets very much.

However, the decision at this moment is not in his hands, all he can do is not say anything, do nothing, and quietly wait for Zhao Kuangyin to make an idea.

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision, and said to the thief: "I promise, as long as you let Xiao Zuo go, I will let you leave the palace safely." ”

Zhao Kuangyin's decision made Gao Huaide very dissatisfied, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "Official, these two people are thieves who want to plot against them, and they should be punished on the spot, why do you want to let them go." ”

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Gao Huaide and said, "I have made up my mind, General Gao doesn't need to say much." ”

Gao Huaide wanted to obstruct it again, but Zhao Pu, who was on the side, pulled his sleeves. Gao Huaide looked at Zhao Pu, only to see Zhao Pu give him a look that he didn't say more. Although Gao Huaide didn't know why, he knew that this prime minister was very intelligent, so he was angry and retreated behind Zhao Pu.

"Your Majesty only needs to let me retreat outside the palace gate, and so-and-so will let this guy go. Yin Amei said in a deep voice.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and did not speak. In fact, his plan was to wait for Yin Amei to release Xiao Zuo, and then kill Yin Amei on the spot. In his consciousness, the so-called emperor's guarantee, what other words that the king has no joke about only apply to his own people, for the enemy, it is just a delaying tactic.

If Yin Amei didn't have Xiao Zuo by her side, he would definitely believe Zhao Kuangyin's words. In his broad line of logical thinking, the emperor said everything he said. There is no way, since he was a child, he has lived with his master in the fallen Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and he has been influenced by Qin Yuqing's traditional Confucianism of monarchy and patriotism, and regarded the words of the orthodox emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty as Chrysostom.

But Xiao Zuo knew that the emperor's words were only useful if they were beneficial to himself, and what was not beneficial to himself was just that the emperor said. Moreover, a generation of heroes like Zhao Kuangyin swore to Zhou Shizong that he would assist the young emperor, but in the end, it was not the yellow robe that added to the little emperor, and the little emperor was removed from the dragon chair.

Can you believe what Zhao Kuangyin said? Because he knew that Zhao Kuangyin's belly was black, Xiao Zuo reminded Yin Amei and asked him to take Zhao Kuangyin into such an army.

"Yes, I promise you. Zhao Kuangyin didn't think long this time before agreeing. A thief, a man who is loyal to himself and seems to be very talented, as a wise monarch, will of course choose the latter. If the thief runs away, he can be caught again, and even if he can't be caught, it won't affect anything, but if he loses a loyal talent, it will be difficult to find it again. This account, for Zhao Kuangyin, is actually very easy to calculate.

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words, Xiao Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. This result is what he wants to see the most, but after it is really realized, he can't help but feel a little lucky, it seems that this kind of risk is a great gamble, and it is better to gamble less in the future.

"Make a way for them. Zhao Kuangyin dropped a sentence and took Wang Jien towards Funing Palace. Tonight was a thrilling accident that made him sad.

Yin Amei restrained Xiao Zuo and cautiously retreated towards the palace gate, and along the way, the Japanese army followed behind, not leaving an inch, and remained vigilant. And Zhao Guangyi was concerned about Xiao Zuo's safety, and he also followed behind with Zhao Pu.

When the two finally retreated to the palace gate, Xiao Zuo stretched out his hand and wrote the words "Honglu Temple Building" in the palm of Yin Amei's left hand.

"Chase!" Zhao Guangyi shouted, so he praised the Japanese soldiers and Xiao Rin all chased out of the palace.

"General Gao," Zhao Guangyi turned his head to look at Gao Huaide and said: "You can transfer the guard Sibu Army to search for this thief throughout the whole process, and the Kaifeng Mansion will fully assist at that time, the official family means that this thief must be arrested, otherwise, you can consider the consequences yourself." ”

"The last general commands!"
