Old things in Nancheng

The carriage sped away, and the people in the carriage were extremely happy, but also extremely puzzled.

"Brother Zheng, thank you very much." Wang Zimo said gratefully, cupping his hands.

"No, my master buys a certain family's ability, and a certain family protects my young master's life, that's how it should be." Zheng Daming waved his hand casually.

Wang Zimo was a little embarrassed by Zheng Daming's words. Although it was the truth, but Zheng Daming said it so bluntly, the feeling changed again.

Seeing Wang Zimo's embarrassment, Jiang Shangpei smoothed things over and said, "Business is business, affection is affection. If money is gone, you can earn it again. If life is gone, you have nothing. Brother Zheng, don't look at my brother as young. , In fact, the old love is very important, no thanks for the great kindness, if you have difficulties in the future, just open your mouth, if my brother is unable to do it, I will still be the elder brother."

Zheng Daming stiffened his neck and turned his head aside, thinking that it would be a good thing not to have a soft-hearted brother like you, there is no reason for a brother to persuade his brother to get closer to the knife.

However, Zheng Daming had no choice but to forget about reaching out and not hitting the smiling person. He only hoped that the two brothers would not think about going out one by one, and risking their own lives in it.

"It's good to come out, a certain family just can't figure it out, why do the prisoners in the death row escape?" Zheng Daming said a doubt in everyone's mind.

Taohua was wearing Wang Zimo's clothes, and shrank behind Wang Zimo, because she was greatly frightened, her hands were still tightly grasping Wang Zimo's arm. When she heard a few people's questions, she answered softly: "I know."

"Peach Blossom, you know?" Wang Zimo asked in surprise.

"Those death row inmates said it when they were bullying us. I don't know if it's true or not." Seeing that several people were looking at her, Taohua became more and more frightened, and simply hid behind Wang Zimo.

"Taohua, don't be afraid, why don't you tell us?" Wang Zimo persuaded gently.

"That's right...someone entered the death row prison with the key in his hand. He released the death row prisoners and gave them a lot of money to cause chaos in the prison camp." After Taohua finished speaking, she shrank and hugged each other. Wang Zimo, she couldn't help trembling when she thought of those inhuman death row prisoners.

someone?Deliberately?

Tao Hua's words made several people silent.It is not something ordinary people can do to bribe the prisoner to get the key, and to spend a large amount of money to cause chaos among the prisoners on death row.There is nowhere to check the people outside, and if they are people in the prison camp, they can only be sent by the official camp, or senior prisoners who are wealthy and powerful.

The possibility of the official camp is very small. He will not be the first one to escape if something happens in the prison camp. He will never be so stupid as to buy himself a murderer to kill himself. Even the small prisoner does not have that much money. After thinking about it, there are only high-level prisoners. , and he was not an ordinary high-ranking prisoner.

After several guesses, the scope was locked in the Tianzihao room. Including Wang Zimo, there were seven people in total. Excluding Wang Zimo and Jiang Shangpei, there were five people left. Which one of these five people is it?

"Brother, what do you think?" Wang Zimo asked.

"Brother Wei thinks it's suspicious that the man caused the death row prisoner to create chaos. What we see is not just chaos, but massacre." Jiang Shangpei said seriously, no one can face such cruel killing without being moved.

"Perhaps, that person's original intention was not to massacre, but to create chaos. Maybe he wanted to fish in troubled waters. It's just that he doesn't understand death row prisoners. How can these people be safe when they come out?" Zheng Daming is a death row prisoner, and he understands the abnormal psychology of death row prisoners best.

"Let's assume that that person really wants to take advantage of the chaos to do something, so what exactly does he want to do?" Wang Zimo asked after thinking.

"It must be impossible to do it in a stable prison camp." Jiang Shangpei replied following Wang Zimo's train of thought.

Just as a few people were contemplating, there was a loud noise outside the carriage.Shocked by the horror of the sound, several people hurriedly opened the curtains and looked out, and found that a monstrous fire had ignited on the top of the city in the north. famous.

People in the market all stopped to watch, and the air was filled with the sound of fighting on the top of the city.

"It's fighting again?"

"This time it feels a little different than usual."

"Look, the fire on the top of the city is so big, let alone defending against the enemy, just standing there will turn into ashes."

The discussion of pedestrians in the market made Wang Zimo's heart sink again, and she suddenly had a very bad feeling, which was like a blunt knife, constantly tearing at her heart.

"Groom, don't go to Caishengzhuang, go directly to the east gate! Hurry up!" Wang Zimo suddenly shouted to the outside.

Seeing that Wang Zimo was extremely abnormal, Jiang Shangpei was about to ask her why she didn't go to Caishengzhuang to meet her as originally planned, but he found that there were constantly patrolling officials from the Xingyuan government office pouring out. Pedestrians quickly evacuated and returned home.

After a while, Jiang Shangpei saw the government's military preparations coming out, rushing to the north city.

"Beicheng is in danger, I'm afraid we can't hold it!" Jiang Shangpei blurted out unconsciously.

Zheng Daming's eyes were fixed, he turned around and got out of the carriage, grabbed the reins from the groom's hand, and drove the carriage desperately.

"Even the Fu Ya Bei Army has been mobilized. I'm afraid they won't be able to defend this time. The Fu Ya Bei Army has 3000 people and is the last force in the city." Wang Zimo nodded weakly.

"I just hope I can make it in time!"

Those yamen servants who were driving pedestrians saw a carriage rushing on rampage and wanted to stop it, but when they saw the lantern of Dianshi Fang Qianzhi hanging on the carriage, they turned around and ignored it.No matter how big the official is, no matter how much power he has, these yamen servants are directly under the jurisdiction of Fang Qianzhi. Even if they dare to ignore the order of the governor, they will not dare to offend their immediate superiors.

This is Jiang Shangpei's experience, and it is also what Wang Zimo lacks.

Although Zheng Daming has good driving skills, he is not familiar with the roads of Xingyuan Mansion. Fortunately, the groom is used to going in and out of Xingyuan Mansion. The sound gradually became quieter, which made the people in the car less uneasy.

However, Taohua has always been tense, and what Wang Zimo and others said and did made her extremely puzzled.Taohua looked at Wang Zimo, Wang Zimo gave Taohua a comforting smile, Taohua looked at this forced smile, but did not alleviate the anxiety in her heart.

Just as Taohua was guessing, suddenly, the carriage shook suddenly, and the people in the car were instantly staggered. Taohua threw herself into Wang Zimo's arms uncontrollably, instinctively stretched out her hand, and pressed Wang Zimo's chest!

Boom~

Taohua felt the softness under her palm, and her mind was blank. Right now, she couldn't control whether Xingyuan City would be destroyed, whether their lives could be saved, and where they were going. She just wanted to know, What is the hand holding down!

Why is it soft, why!

Why is a man's chest soft!

"Brother Zheng, what's the matter!" Wang Zimo didn't pay attention to Tao Hua in the rush, but just struggled to get up and looked out.

"The car was running too fast, and the horse sprained his ankle. Young master, this place is not far from the east gate. Let's run over there!" Zheng Daming got up from the ground and hurriedly helped several people get out of the car.

Jiang Shangpei came down to look at the horse. The horse's leg was broken and he couldn't walk at all. He said decisively: "My dear brother, don't hesitate, let's run over!"

Just as Wang Zimo was about to answer, she heard another loud noise from the north. Although she couldn't see it, the loud shouts made her believe in a terrible fact.

North City is broken!

"Run!"

No one could care about anything else, they all ran towards the east gate with all their might.

The heart was beating fast, sweat was profuse, and the feet were as heavy as lead, but no one dared to stop.Taohua ran at the back, watching Wang Zimo's thin back getting further and further away from her, for some reason, tears welled up together with sweat.

Are you a joke?

I still remember the Lantern Festival, when that person held my hand and ran like this. At that time, my happy heart melted, but now, my heart really melted, turning into a pool of sad tears.

Is it worth it to follow her like this?

Why does she have a wife and a daughter in her hometown, why!

Taohua couldn't run anymore, she stopped, but it was Wang Zimo who made her heart beat and heartbroken, but turned around and pulled her forward to continue to escape.

"Peach Blossom, hold on, it will be here soon."

The voice was still as gentle as the spring breeze in the past, but the feeling was as cold as winter snow. Taohua wanted to break free from Wang Zimo, but found that Wang Zimo held her hand tightly.

I don't know how long they ran, but finally, the East City Gate arrived.

It's just that what greeted them was not the gate of the city opened wide, but a row of ruthless arrows.

"Whoever gets close will die!"

Wang Zimo couldn't believe it, there were sergeants standing on the top of the wall, and she recognized the captain who shouted, who used to drink and gamble with Wu Shengquan with him, but now he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

"My lord, you've arrived. I'm dying of old age." Shopkeeper Zhang seemed to weep with joy when he saw Wang Zimo and the others.

Their plan was to meet up at Caishengzhuang and leave the city together by the east gate. However, the fighting broke out in the northern city, and Wang Zimo turned around halfway. Come to Dongcheng and wait for yourself.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, let's not gossip, can I get that item from Miss Qiuyue?" Wang Zimo asked casually, wiping off his sweat.

"Master, this is it." Shopkeeper Zhang took out a letter from his pocket and asked worriedly: "The people at the top of the city said that the North City was broken, and now they have been ordered not to open the city. Does this thing work?"

"I don't know if it will work. I'll know if I try it." Wang Zimo was forced to the cliff, and suddenly he was not in a hurry. One difficulty after another, if he really couldn't pass the last level, it was God's will.

Wang Zimo took the letter, approached the east gate alone, and shouted upwards: "Lieutenant Jiang, please let General Wu come out, I have something to say."

That Jiang Xiaowei, on weekdays, did not miss the benefits of Wang Zimo. In fact, how many people confiscated Wang Zimo's money at the east gate, and now she came alone, and she just wanted to ask a word and help through Biography is not a big deal.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, after about half a cup of tea, Wu Shengquan and Wu Shen, all dressed up, appeared at the top of the city.

"Brother Wang Xian, it's not that I didn't keep the agreement. Now that the North City has fallen, I'm ordered to guard the East City. Even if Lord Inspector comes here today, I can't disobey the military order and open the city gate." Wu Shengquan said in an official tone.

"My little brother has something, please let the general hold your eye." Wang Zimo bowed deeply, held the letter in his hand and raised it high.

Wu Shengquan looked over and saw that it was a letter, so he couldn't help laughing, thinking that God really opened his eyes, and the money just fell for nothing.

"Put the basket!"

A bamboo basket slowly fell from the top of the city. Wang Zimo put the letter in the basket solemnly. Whether it can be done or not depends on it.

Wu Shengquan took the letter from the soldiers, opened it, but found that it was not the bill he thought, but the letter paper exuding a woman's fragrance, and he couldn't help feeling angry.

"You dare to tease this general!" Wu Shengquan scolded angrily.

"The inner world, please take a look at the general!" Wang Zimo bowed deeply again, almost reaching the ground.

Everyone stared at Wu Shengquan closely, seeing him unfold the paper and seeing his face change, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

The sound of killing from Beicheng reappeared faintly, mixed with Jin Bing's voice, those Jurchen languages ​​they didn't understand, like a death knell.

Naturally, Wang Zimo also heard it, and she knew that within a quarter of an hour, the golden soldiers would come and kill her. At that time, she and her friends would die without a place to bury their lives.

Cold sweat slipped from her forehead, her brocade clothes were already dirty and messy, her originally elegant hairband was nowhere to be seen, her bun was messed up, her whole body was in a mess, her hands were gathered in her sleeves and clenched into fists.

Lan'er, maybe, I can't go back.

Lan'er, please don't blame me for breaking my promise, okay?

Lan'er, you have to live on!

No, I don't want to die, I must not die!I want to go back alive to see Lin Zhilan!

Wang Zimo's eyes were red, and her whole body burst out with a fierce and confident brilliance. She said in a clear and serious voice, "General! Please make a quick decision!"
