During the time when Hou Xiqiao was fighting with the dark guards, Bai Tangzhi had already galloped for tens of miles on a fast horse.

This was not his original intention. When the dark guard first entered the woods, Bai Tangzhi and Hou Xiqiao were already preparing to leave, but after he packed up his things and mounted his horse, he found that Hou Xiqiao had no intention of leaving.

The fast horse belonged to Hou Xiqiao. Before Baitangzhi could react, Hou Xiqiao lashed the horse with a heavy whip, and the horse galloped out in pain. The horse stopped, but he found it was futile.

These fast horses seemed to be possessed by a demon. No matter how Baitangzhi pulled the reins, he would not be moved. In desperation, Baitangzhi could only let it go. When they stopped, the news of Cheng Dan's murder and Hou Xiqiao's arrest It has spread all over the world.

Bai Tangzhi knew that this was the news that Sima Hong deliberately released, in order to make Bai Tangzhi lose his resistance. Of course, Sima Hong also wanted to use this to express a message that no one in the world could oppose him. Baitangzhi was caught without a fight.

Bai Tangzhi stopped in front of an inn, and Hou Xiqiao's life-saving rescue caught him by surprise. To tell the truth, Hou Xiqiao was at most a friend to him, and there was no need to do such a thing for him.

Even if a catastrophe is imminent, Bai Tangzhi will not feel that there is anything wrong. The deep relationship between Sima Hong and Hou Xiqiao for so many years is still fighting each other, let alone him and Hou Xiqiao.

It's just been acquainted for a while, so why make such a move, after all, Baitang thinks that he is just a scholar who can read, other than that, where else is there any merit?

Hou Xiqiao, a great general who protects the country, is also the commander of the Jinwu Guard and the commander of the hidden guard. How could there be no place for him in the world? Why bother to save him, a dispensable number one scholar?

Bai Tangzhi sighed in the inn room. He didn't want to owe this favor, and he didn't want to see Hou Xiqiao imprisoned because of him. He heard many rumors along the way, all about Cheng Dan.

In the eyes of Sima Hong, a teacher of an emperor is even worse than a wild dog. How will Hou Xiqiao be treated after being trampled into that state? In Baitang's heart, besides regret, there is also a sense of powerless resentment.

Yes, what can he do as a scholar who can only read?

In this world, there is probably only one person who can save Hou Xiqiao, and he is Xin Mo, the commander of the Jiangzhou garrison.

But how could Bai Tangzhi conclude that Xin Mo would take the risk to save Hou Xiqiao, he is a border guard, how to rescue him, but it seems that Xin Mo is the only hope that can be relied on, Bai Tangzhi leaned against the wall, My heart is full of bitterness.

When is it time for retribution? He witnessed Sima Hong mistakenly kill Sima Wan and vent his anger on Hou Xiqiao. Emotion is really a strange thing. Sometimes it can be strong enough to be awesome, but sometimes it is so fragile that it will break at the touch of a finger.

In any case, Bai Tangzhi felt that Hou Xiqiao must be saved, and Jiangzhou and his party were inevitable.

After resting overnight, Bai Tangzhi had already made up his mind to go to Jiangzhou. If Xin Mo could not be persuaded to rescue him, then he would go to the capital alone and live and die with Hou Xiqiao.

With such a decisive victory in mind, Bai Tangzhi galloped his horse and finally arrived at the gate of Jiangzhou City before sunset.

"Who are you, and why did you come to my Xin family?"

"In Xia Baitang, I have something important to see Commander Xin Mo."

"Baitangzhi!? The imperial court's most important criminal dares to utter wild words. Could it be that he wants to murder the commander? Come and take him down!"

Bai Tangzhi waved his hand, with a fearless expression, then took out a letter from his sleeve, and asked the soldiers of the garrison in front of him to convey it. Facing the soldiers rushing up, a smile appeared in Baitangzhi's eyes.

"You don't need to do anything, I just let you go."

Afterwards, Bai Tangzhi was taken to a remote prison cell, which was said to be the place where the prisoners were held, and the letter was quickly passed to Xin Mo's hands.

At this moment, Xin Mo was resting in his room with his eyes closed. Faced with this sudden change, he seemed a little caught off guard. He already knew about Hou Xiqiao's arrest, but what he didn't expect was that Bai Tangzhi would come to him .

The attitude in this letter is quite sincere, but the question is, why did he go to rescue Hou Xiqiao? In the border battle back then, if he hadn't received the warrant from Prince Sima Hong, Xin Mo would have never been able to rescue him.

Because to him, the survival of Hou Xiqiao was simply irrelevant. There was no need to risk his life, and it was even more impossible to take the risk of beheading to rescue him.

Did this Baitangzhi think that he had a great friendship with Hou Xiqiao, and that's why he thought he would rescue him again?

Seeing that Xin Mo was pensive and silent, the person who sent the message asked how to deal with it after waiting for a while. After Xin Mo drank a cup of tea with great interest, he gave a light answer.

"Give him some money and let him go. By the way, tell this Bai Tangzhi that if he dares to return to Jiangzhou again, he will die."

The attendant bowed his head and retreated, then went to the cell where Bai Tangzhi was being held and told Xin Mo what he had said.

Regardless of the expression on Bai Tangzhi's face, the group of people led Bai Tangzhi out of the city, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate that if they met this person again, they must not let him go.

If necessary, you can handle it yourself, even if you kill it, it doesn't matter, Commander Xin Moxin will make the decision for them if there is any problem.pungent

Bai Tangzhi was a little surprised by Mo's behavior. Although he felt that the matter of asking for help this time would not be smooth sailing, he did not expect that Xin Mo would be so heartless.

Without Xin Mo's help, it would be a question of whether Baitang alone could reach the capital alive, let alone save people. It would be a dead end anyway, and it would be better to die in Xin Mo's hands.

When we meet on Huangquan Road, forgive him and Hou Xiqiao will have nothing to say, no matter what, he has worked hard, and he can only say that he is not good enough if he is not rescued.

Bai Tangzhi thought of a way to enter the city, but was stopped by the guards. Several attempts ended in failure. As dusk fell, and the city gate was about to be closed, Bai Tangzhi was a little anxious at the moment.

It just so happened that at this time he saw a carriage full of goods going into the city, Bai Tangzhi saw the opportunity, and climbed into the carriage without anyone noticing at night.

He stayed in the truck all night, and early the next morning, he slipped out of the truck while the workers were unloading.

Fortunately, no one in Jiangzhou City knew him, so Bai Tangzhi arrived at the gate of Xin's house again safe and sound, and tasted a local special snack on the way, which can be said to be leisurely.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, the guards of the Xin family recognized Bai Tangzhi, and immediately prepared to throw Bai Tangzhi out of the city.

Just as he was about to do something, Xin Mo came out from the door. The guards did not attack Bai Tang for the time being, but waited for Xin Mo's order. Xin Mo gave Bai Tang a perfunctory look, but said nothing.

Because Bai Tangzhi was also looking at him at the moment, Xin Mo saw some decisiveness in Bai Tangzhi's eyes, a bit of Cheng Dan's demeanor back then. Xin Mo still remembered that when the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince, it was Cheng Dan who died alone. This saved Sima Hong's crown prince.

But the price was very cruel, and Cheng Dan also lost his title of the emperor's teacher because of this, and he was never able to turn himself around again. Xin Mo also persuaded his master Cheng Dan, but at that time Cheng Dan was determined, and he didn't have the slightest bit. The look of fear, and there is no sign of repentance.

Even after being deprived of his official position and living on the streets, Xin Mo never saw a single word of regret from Cheng Dan.

"Okay, let him stay here, I want to see how much trouble a scholar can make."

The guard backed away in response, quietly looking at Bai Tangzhi who was standing still.

It was already winter now, and it snowed heavily soon after. Although Bai Tangzhi had clothes to keep out the cold, he was originally from the south. Except for the battle at the border, this was the first time he came to the north, and it was also the first time he saw Manchuria. Day of heavy snow.

Gradually, Bai Tangzhi felt that his body was going to be frozen stiff, but he didn't move at all, he was still standing at the door of Xin's house, even the guards were moved by him, if this continues, Bai Tangzhi will freeze to death in the heavy snow inside.

But no matter how the guards tried to persuade him, Bai Tangzhi didn't move at all.

He told the guards that if Xin Mo did not agree to his request for a day, he would not leave this place for a moment. Even if he froze to death here, he would turn into a ghost and stay there day and night, waiting for Xin Mo's answer. .

The guard conveyed Bai Tangzhi's words without any changes, but Xin Mo just nodded, showing no concern at all, as if Bai Tangzhi's death had nothing to do with him at all.

In the middle of the night, the guard came to report that Baitangzhi had lost his breath, and asked Xin Mo to make a decision. After hearing this, Xin Mo walked slowly to the door.

In the heavy snow all over the sky, he saw a figure. During the battle at the border, this figure curled up behind Hou Xiqiao, his eyes full of fear, but now this figure would risk his life for a person who was almost irrelevant.

Speaking of which, Bai Tangzhi was still his junior. When Cheng Dan told him the news, Xin Mo wondered if his ears were broken. Can such a waste be his junior?

But now it seems that it is not what he thought at all, at least the courage is commendable.

Bai Tangzhi didn't die, he survived with a thousand-year-old ginseng treasured by Xin Mo, but now he is on the verge of death, and he will need several months of recuperation to fully recover.

When he woke up, he heard that Xin Mo had already left the city. As for whether to save Hou Xiqiao, no one could tell him the answer.

In fact, Bai Tangzhi thought he was dead, it was just a dream, but the severe pain in his internal organs made him have to believe: he is still a living person.

Bai Tangzhi also thought about why he did this for Hou Xiqiao.

Scholars die for those who know their confidants, and women for those who please them. These people just see their own shadows in each other's bodies, but that's enough, it's enough for them to fight each other with their lives, and death is nothing to be afraid of.
