Chapter Four: The Fall of Luoyang (Part II)

Lei Zhen said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's new favorite concubine is my brother's wife, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to put her back, and then open the city gate to disarm and surrender, I promise not to hurt anyone, and I will escort His Royal Highness away, I don't know what the prince wants." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, Liu Lin didn't dare to attack with great anger in his heart, so he could only persuade with good words: "As long as the helper is willing to withdraw from the army, I promise to let my father send you another three hundred miles of territory?" Lei Zhen smiled: "There is no need to do this, after winning Luoyang, the towns within a radius of five hundred miles are mine, and I hope that His Highness will make a decision quickly on my two conditions." Liu Lin said angrily: "You are treacherous, this king is enough to bear it, don't deceive people too much!"

Lei Zhen took a moment to say: "As long as I give an order, the soldiers can attack the imperial city, and then talk to the prince, each other's identities will be different. Liu Lin's face turned blue, and he was silent for a while: "Luoyang can be handed over to you, can you let go of this king's concubine? Lei Zhen sneered: "People have husbands, Your Highness don't be verbose anymore, there is no room for negotiation." ”

Kong Yanzhou whispered to Liu Lin: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, the situation is not good for us, and it is reasonable to protect oneself." Liu Lin nodded bitterly, and cried: "You wait, I'll ask Concubine Ai to come out." ”

Liu Lin and the others left for a long time and didn't come back, Zhu Yushi said: "They won't run away secretly." Lei Zhen said: "The imperial city has been surrounded by us, and they have no way to escape. Zhu Yushi said: "There may be a secret passage out of the city in the imperial city?" Lei Zhen frowned, and shouted loudly: "Please Your Highness come out to speak, if you don't show up again, I will order the siege of the city!" The soldiers in the city hurriedly sent a message, and after a while, Liu Lin appeared in the city again, but the king of slaughter was gone, only to see Liu Lin's face full of tears, and he cried urgently: "The concubine is gone! The concubine is gone!" Zhu Yushi chuckled in his heart and shouted: "Where are the Zhirui people!" Liu Lin clapped his palms on the battlements and roared: "I also want to know where the people are!" How could the good ones be gone!" Lei Zhen said sharply: "Where is the Slaughter King? Did he take his younger siblings away?" Liu Lin shouted: "He ran away! But he didn't take the concubine away, and when I returned to the palace, she was gone." Zhu Yushi secretly thought that it could be that Black Wu had taken the opportunity to rescue the people? It would be great if this was the case, but the heavy siege of the city made it impossible for Liu Lin to escape, how did they get out of the city? Could it be that they were just hiding in the palace?

Lei Zhen said: "It's impossible for my brother and sister to leave the palace, let's find it ourselves, and then open the city gate quickly." Liu Lin said: "I can't hand over people, what are you going to do with this king?" Lei Zhen smiled: "If the truth is excusable, but if you don't open the door again, I will order the siege of the city." Liu Lin had no choice but to order the four gates to be opened, and all the Qi soldiers threw their weapons off the city wall, and Lei Zhen led the army into the city.

Liu Lin and his soldiers were escorted off the city wall, and all the Qi soldiers were tied with their hands tied and reduced to prisoners of war, and Kong Yanzhou and Cao Cheng were no exception. Seeing this, Liu Lin shouted: "What does this mean! Didn't you say that you would let us go!" Lei Zhen smiled: "I did say that I would let you go, but I didn't say when I would release you. Liu Lin felt that he was in the ice cellar, and said angrily: "You are lying to people surnamed Lei! You are deceiving people!" Lei Zhen ignored it and waved his hand for the soldiers to take away. Lin Lingsu said: "What are you keeping him for?" Lei Zhen said: "He is Liu Yu's only son, of course it is useful to keep him." ”

At this time, I heard a commotion from the west, and a leader came in a panic and said: "The Butcher King has escaped from the north gate, and he has killed several of our brothers, do you want to bring someone to chase him?" Lei Zhen groaned: "I can't catch up, let him go, but you left alone?" The leader said: "Yes, he is alone." Lei Zhen said: "Can you see clearly?" The leader said: "When he was stopped, he killed several people, and I was next to him, making sure he didn't bring anyone." Lei Zhen said: "Order the soldiers to close the city gate, no one is allowed to go out, and all the soldiers go to find the wife of the deputy gang leader." "After the leader goes. Zhu Yushi said fiercely: "It's really cheap for that wicked man." Lei Zhen said: "When I find my brother and sister, I will find him to settle accounts, my brother and sister must still be in the imperial city, maybe they are just afraid of hiding, I will let people find them one by one, and they will definitely be rewarded." Zhu Yushi said: "I'll look for it too." Lei Zhen smiled: "There are 10,000 people to help you find it, and you are not one of them, you can go with me to Shangyang Palace to visit." Zhu Yushi said: "I don't want to go to that dirty place, let's wait here." Lei Zhen said: "It's okay." ”

An hour passed, and Zhu Zhirui was still not found, Lei Zhen called several leaders with the troops over, and said angrily: "What are you doing to eat, you can't even find anyone?" One of the leaders said aggrievedly: "This palace is too big, and there are countless places to hide, and it takes a lot of effort to find them all." Lei Zhen said: "You must find it before dawn, otherwise you will be fined for a month." The leaders retreated. Lei Zhen said to Zhu Yushi: "Let's go out and wait, we haven't eaten for a day, how about going to the noodle restaurant opened by your friend?" Zhu Yushi said: "I just want to sleep well now, please help the master not to blame." Lei Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, go and rest, I will send someone to inform you immediately if there is news from my brother and sister." ”

Zhu Yushi left the palace and saw that the city was brightly lit, full of horse gang soldiers running on the street, all the flags of Qi were replaced by the flags of the horse gang, and the people were awakened by the noise, but they didn't dare to come out to take a look. He is not in a hurry about Zhu Zhirui's whereabouts, he is ninety percent sure that his beloved wife has been rescued by Black Five, and maybe he is on the way to Hangu Pass, if this is the case, the big stone hanging in his heart can finally land. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a figure appear in the alley in front of him, and beckoned to him: "Brother Zhu borrowed a step to speak." Zhu Yushi heard him call out his name, thinking that he should know someone, but after walking into the alley, he found that he didn't know him, that person was about the same age as himself, in his early twenties, and his appearance was also very ordinary, wearing the clothes of a horse gang soldier, Zhu Yushi said: "Who are you?" The man said: "The little brother's name is Hei Jiu, Brother Zhu should be able to guess who I am doing things for, right?" Zhu Yushi said movingly: "You are the fifth brother's person, but he called you here?" Hei Jiu nodded and said: " Mrs. Sister-in-law and Fifth Brother have arrived outside the city safely, and Fifth Brother knows that you must want to see Mrs. Ao, so he asked the younger brother to take you there. Zhu Yushi was overjoyed and said, "Great! ”

On the way, the black nine will save people to tell the story, it turned out that the black five day to Luoyang sneaked into the imperial city to step on the point, before the caravan action he left his companions, first entered the imperial city, hid outside the Shangyang Palace, when Liu Lin learned that the horse gang was coming, hurriedly took people to the city wall to inspect, there were only some palace maids left in the palace who could not do martial arts, he easily sneaked into Zhu Zhirui's bedroom, explained the situation and asked her to go to the inner room to change the prepared horse gang clothes, and took her over the unguarded south city wall, walking on the street although he was bumped into by Qi soldiers several times, but when he saw that he was wearing the horse gang clothes, and in such a chaotic joint, no one had the intention to interrogate, and successfully left Luoyang from the hole in the wall dug in advance。 Zhu Yushi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to immediately insert his wings to see Zhu Zhirui.

Hei Jiu took him on a small road, and came to a deserted and populated western city wall. Zhu Yushi asked, "How can you be so familiar with the streets of Luoyang?" The fifth brother had already instructed the younger brother to sneak into Luoyang to make preparations, to prepare at least two retreat routes, one of which is to use the Luoyang canal to evacuate, and the other is to dig a hole under the city wall, which I accidentally found along the city wall the day before yesterday, the strange thing is that this hole was originally there, but it was later blocked with mud bricks, but the plug was not strong, and it was chiseled open in a few clicks, and the luck was not generally good, otherwise even if there was no surveillance, there was no month and don't want to dig through the city wall. ”

Zhu Yushi remembered that this hole was dug by Jia Yinyang in order to assassinate Liu Yu last time, and the person in charge of plugging the hole cut corners and did things hastily afterwards, which gave them the opportunity to use it again, and it seems that the master is still taking care of himself in the spirit of heaven. At that moment, he and Hei Jiu removed the cover and crawled out of Luoyang.

Hei Jiu led him out of Sanlidi, turned into the dense forest next to the road, and didn't go far before he saw three horses tied to the tree, immediately loaded with weapons, dry food and water, it seemed that Hei Jiu had everything ready. There are two people sitting under the tree tied to the horse, one is Black Five, and the other is Zhu Zhirui, who is haunted by his dreams and thoughts. Zhu Yushi took off his mask, walked two steps excitedly, and shouted, "Lady!"

Zhu Zhirui, who was wearing horse gang clothes, trembled, sat on the spot and cried bitterly. Zhu Yushi stepped forward and hugged her in his arms and comforted: "It's okay, it's all over, let's start again." Zhu Zhirui cried even more painfully. Hei Wu smiled slightly, and walked into the distance with Hei Jiuzhiji. Zhu Zhirui lay in his arms, tears soaked his clothes, and sobbed: "I was stained by Liu Lin, do you still want me?" Zhu Yushi hugged her tighter, and said firmly: "Yes! You sacrificed yourself to save me, if I dislike you a little, can I still be a human being!" Zhu Zhirui hugged his waist tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave again, and said: " Although I live a life of brocade clothes and jade food in Shangyang Palace, I think about you and I live a poor life in Takishui Village every day, if it weren't for my belief that you would come to save me, I would have committed suicide in despair, I was afraid that you would look down on me before I saw you, I was extremely conflicted, I really didn't dare to see you, the fifth brother said that you are not that kind of person, otherwise I really don't have the courage to wait for you here. Zhu Yushi also shed tears, took her hand and said: "Don't think about it anymore, I will only love you more than before, you will always be my wife, and you will never change." Zhu Zhirui burst into tears and said with a smile: "With your words, it's worth it for me to die." Zhu Yushi also smiled: "What is not dead, our good days have not yet begun, you will go back to Chang'an with the fifth brother and them to wait for me later, and I will go to you after I finish my errands." Zhu Zhirui was surprised: "Aren't you going with us?" Zhu Yushi said: "Xiao Luo has sent troops to Hanguguan, there is still an important cooperation between him and Lei Zhen that is inseparable from me, I promise that I will go back to see you safely and soundly, and now I want to live more than ever." ”

Zhu Zhirui nodded, regained her composure, and said worriedly: "Although you don't blame me, how should Chang'an's mother and sister Nu'er look at me?" Zhu Yushi smiled and said: "My mother and Nu'er are both reasonable people, they all know about you, my mother said that if you don't save your good daughter-in-law, she will never let me enter the house again, and their concern for you is not below me, you can rest assured." Zhu Zhirui said: "I'm still a little nervous, but you don't have to worry, just do your business and come back early." Also, if you see my father and brother, remember not to worry about them. Zhu Yushi said: "Have you not met in Luoyang City for a year?" Zhu Zhirui said: "My father asked to see him three times, but Liu Lin refused to see him, and they must be very worried about me." Zhu Yushi said: "Okay, I will definitely bring the words." After speaking, he took Zhu Zhirui's hand to see Hei Wu and Hei Jiu together, Zhu Yushi bowed to the end and said: "The kindness of the two eldest brothers, the younger brother is unforgettable, and in the future, there will be a place for the younger brother, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will never frown." Hei Wu laughed and said: "If you have three long and two short, what should your wife do, you don't have to be polite, you owe me love, I owe Brother Shi love, Brother Shi's love owed to you has been paid off now, and no one owes anyone anything." Zhu Yushi said: "Yes, but I still have to bother the two of you to send Neiko to Chang'an." Black Five said: "It is incumbent on me to ensure that it is delivered safely." ”

Zhu Yushi thanked him again, and reluctantly said goodbye to Zhu Zhirui and the three of them, although they were just in a hurry, their mood was like a sunny day after a rain, and the worries of gains and losses in the past year were swept away, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit, and they just wanted to go home to reunite with their wives and daughters after finishing the incident, and strode back to Luoyang.
