Tao Ran is happy

Just after the New Year's Eve, the night dew is cold.

He took out the luggage that had been prepared, and then guessed the strenuous activity that was about to take place, so he took off the thick coat he was wearing.

Inside, he had already changed into a capable bunt, and then tied the cuffs with a thin belt, and put away the gunpowder bamboo tube in his arms. After inspecting it, he was quite satisfied, and then looked up at the other two.

I am so dawdling, they must also be impatient...

+_+

"Master Li?"

Seeing that the man named Ma Quan unceremoniously requisitioned my half-month-old quilt, tore off the cloak, and put iron plate chain mail on his chest. The front is tied tightly, more like a bun than a bun.

Already, even that Xu Xiaobaozi's head was no longer visible.

And he was also busy while I was cleaning up. At this time, he probably noticed my stiff gaze and looked up with doubts on his face.

I was still staring at his chubby chest.

Thank goodness I didn't tie my belly...otherwise it would make people misunderstand that a man has a baby...

Is this really not going to get in the way?

Zhang He, however, acted as if he had never paid attention to the interaction between the two of us. He just poured all the wine in the jug into the cup, took a sip, put it down, stood up, and said calmly, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he opened the door first, and stepped out lightly.

"..."

Sure enough, no matter when, there are always people around you who are worth learning.

The wind at night was colder than during the day, whistling past, blowing the clothes on my body and making a rattling noise.

At the same time, there was thick blood.

There were two corpses lying at the door. The aorta on the neck had been cut long ago, and the flowing blood stained the steps red, but it had already condensed and dried into black and purple hard scabs in the ruthless sharp wind.

One of them is the one I teased a few hours ago.

"What's wrong?" Zhang He looked back indifferently.

He closed his eyes hard.

"nothing."

He opened it, bent down, his fingers trembling, and with difficulty broke the knife he was holding tightly in his hand like his life, and picked it up.

He stretched out his palm again, and gently covered his eyes, which were still wide open, empty and lifeless.

That's all I can do.

When I stood up again, I saw Ma Quan watching my movements, dragging Xu Shen in his arms up and tight, and snorted coldly with a bit of disdain.

"A woman's benevolence is hypocrisy."

Zhang He also frowned, glanced at Ma Quan, causing him to turn his head to silence, then looked at me lightly, without saying a word, directly followed the chosen path, led the way, and began to hide escape.

In the eyes of people who are as decisive as them, they really don't like an incompetent person like me who has never seen the world.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, as round as a silver plate and as clean as fat jade.

Leng Yueqinghui.

The two people in front either hid in the shadow of the wall, or fled to the undergrowth to cover them. When they encountered passing guards, they would attack suddenly, silently killing one life after another.

Zhang He is resolute and ruthless in his moves, and there is never a trace of wavering or hesitation on his cold and sharp face, and Ma Quan also puts Xu Shen first in everything, whenever he meets someone, when Zhang He makes a move, even if he is defenseless Even if his back was exposed to danger after the measures, he would turn around and protect Xu Shen wholeheartedly.

Although I was struggling, I gritted my teeth and followed them without daring to relax. I ignored the trembling after hearing the faint scream blocked by the palm of my throat, and concentrated all my energy to carefully observe the movement around me. Make them a burden.

In the meantime, Zhang He looked at me with some surprise.

After running for a certain distance, Zhang He suddenly stretched out his arms to stop Ma Quan and me.

After burying himself in the tree and then looking up, he saw a neat group of soldiers, about fifty, holding a knife and holding a sword, patrolling back and forth.

And more and more people came from him.

Strictly guard against the place of death, it is already impenetrable.

"Bastard!" Ma Quan scolded in a low voice, "It's obvious that there hasn't been one just now!"

Zhang He observed for a while, "I'm afraid that something happened to Mr. Gu's side, which aroused the vigilance of that side, and began to pay attention to the defense at this end." After saying that, he glanced at me indifferently.

My heart stopped suddenly, and I turned my head to look at Zhang He.

Zhang He only looked at me for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze, frowned slightly, and continued to look at the personnel transfer over there.

Ma Quan couldn't help stamping his feet, hugged Xu Shen and said anxiously: "Then what should we do? If we forcefully charge, the young master will be safe..."

Zhang He remained calm, "Wait, see if we can wait for the rescue..."

"What if we can't wait?" I opened my mouth and saw both of them turned their heads to look, "What if there are other variables at this time?"

Zhang He pursed his thin cold lips, but did not answer.

Ma Quan looked at me, then at Zhang He, hugging Xu Shen tightly, his forehead was already sweating.

After a moment of silence, I stood up and turned to look outside, "Since they have increased their troops, it must be partly because of me." The two of them held their voices and looked at me without saying a word. Xu Shen, who snored slightly, must be having a sweet dream, smiled slightly and said: "Scholarly family, so, why don't you find out before, and let me make the change."

Ma Quan was stunned when he heard the words, "Are you making a change?" Zhang He also stared at me quietly.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, and hit the east and the west," I began to find the way back, "If it's bait, Li Zimin thinks he can afford it."

"Our mission this time is not only to save Xu Shen, but also to save you."

Looking back at Zhang He's cold face, he couldn't help but smile leisurely.

"I won't act capriciously, please rest assured, General Zhang, and help me once or twice."

I followed the original road back to the residence, and I looked up slightly.

Under the melancholy swaying of the moonlight, the grass and trees, the mountains and the stones reflect the silver halo, which is surprisingly soft and quiet, making people nostalgic.

See you every day for half a month, and look at it now, this scene and this thing, but you will never forget it.

Looking at the two corpses on the house steps, he couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart, and sighed softly.

Zhang He will come, his tone is still cold, "Get ready."

"Thank you, General."

After igniting the fire, throw it on the easy-to-burn place of the bed curtain.

The flame jumped, and then climbed up the cloth, expanding rapidly, and gradually rising.

The bigger the potential, the brighter the light, competing with the moon for brilliance and dazzling with the stars.

Borrowing Zhang He's strength, he climbed up the wall, stood up straight, and looked down at the small courtyard.

Zhang He also took up his saber and stood beside me, silently.

The whistling wind blew the hair up, floating in the air, and the hem of the blouse under the belt moved with the wind.

The nose is filled with the scorching smell of Huo Wu and howling.

The fire has become inexhaustible, and the light rises, lighting up the sky, and finally attracts people in less than a moment.

First there was an exclamation, and the women who saw the fire and came to check were scared out of their wits, and ran out to call for someone.

Immediately afterwards, everyone shouted and rushed to put out the fire.

More and more people.

"Zi Min!"

After closing my eyes and waiting for a long time, after hearing this familiar voice, I slowly opened my eyes and looked down.

Lu Yuan hurriedly ran into the yard, and when he saw the fire, he shouted angrily, and rushed towards the unstoppable fire.

"grown ups!"

"My lord! No!"

A few quick-witted people stopped them, but they were slapped away by Lu Yuan.

"roll!"

Those people still stopped him firmly, but Lu Yuan couldn't break free. After yelling at him, he kicked him again, "Save people! Hurry up and go save people!"

From such an angle, one can still see the deep horror and bewilderment in his furious expression.

Seeing this, Zhang He raised his eyebrows slightly.

I froze for a moment, put away the inexplicable thoughts in my heart, and sighed.

"Lu Yuan..."

Lu Yuan froze when he heard the sigh, looked for the voice and slowly turned his head up, his eyes fell on me.

I pursed my lips.

"Zi Min?" Everyone around fell silent, and I saw Lu Yuan taking a step in my direction, "Why are you climbing that high, it's dangerous, why don't you come down quickly..."

I looked at him quietly and didn't answer.

More and more soldiers rushed in from all around, filling the courtyard.

Many more are coming from outside.

Close your eyes, "General Zhang, how does it feel to have blood on your hands that you can't wash off?"

"What's the matter?" Zhang He's voice was still calm and casual, "Are you scared?"

I laughed softly, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, a scholarly family" said, and I slowly opened my eyes again, "But I'm more afraid of death."

"I don't want to die, I don't want to leave him, I don't want to see him, I don't want to be with him for the rest of my life."

Zhang He didn't speak, but turned to look at me.

He lowered his head, raised his hands, and looked at his hands, which were white under the moonlight, but also looked more and more clean and flawless, "Ants are still stealing their lives, so there is nothing they dare not do in order to live."

"Zi Min," Lu Yuan pushed away the people around him as if he didn't notice the strangeness, still took two steps forward, and stretched his arms to me with a smile, "Be obedient, come down quickly."

Seeing that I was silent, Lu Yuan moved stiffly, with a strong stubbornness, staring at me, his eyes were already red.

Feeling shy, I couldn't help but whisper to myself, "Who has wronged whom, who has cheated whom, who can account for this clearly?"

"It was a mistake that you and I met. Now, it's just right for me to end this mistake."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Yuan stubbornly looked at me without moving his eyes, his chest heaved more and more, and he smiled, "Zi Min, stop messing around, come down quickly."

"Lu Qianzai," I looked at him quietly, "Li Zimin has studied as a teacher for more than five years. He has learned calligraphy, painting and swordsmanship, and the art of war and ghosts. Although he can't be said to be proficient, he has already memorized it by heart."

Lu Yuan's smile froze on his face, and then he gradually lost his expression.

"The disciple of the water mirror..." he murmured, "You are the disciple of the water mirror."

I said softly: "Master does not accept useless people. Since he let me go down the mountain that day, he recognized that I have achieved something in my studies and can become a teacher and enter the world."

Lu Yuan couldn't help shaking his body, and after a moment, he burst out laughing.

It looks like madness.

"Naturally! Naturally! The disciples of the water mirror! How can there be such a pure and innocent person without any scheming!"

Immediately afterwards, he quickly turned his gaze to me, and after the cold killing intent in his eyes, no one could understand his feelings.

I pursed my lips and smiled, and took out the gunpowder in my arms.

Almost all the guards of the manor have been attracted, Ma Quan, who was hiding elsewhere, should be able to lead Xu Shen to break out of the encirclement and be safe.

"Qianzai," I lowered my eyes and looked at Lu Yuan, who suppressed his voice and kept trembling and laughing. Hearing the indifferent voice, I said it word by word, "Zi Min lied to you a lot. .”

"I'm not only good at making bows," Huo Zhe lit the fuse, "I can also make something very dangerous..."

Raising his arms, he watched the bamboo tube with sparks fall towards the crowd.

"It hurt countless people in an instant."

The unsuspecting people stared blankly at the bamboo tube thrown from top to bottom, only in a strange astonishment, there was a loud "bang" and a big earthquake.

The sound of deflagration was like rolling thunder, and it rushed straight to the distant sky.

Earthshaking.
