Zhang Xianyang smiled bitterly, "After all, the imperial court ordered Qiao to pretend to be a bandit to suppress the bandits, after all, it is not very honorable. Few people know about this, but when I left in the chaos, the lucky surviving people in Changkong Village went to look for those who broke their iron shoes. Can you imagine that the prefect is their 'big head'?"

I snorted, "It seems that you can't bear to kill them all?" Seeing a flicker of daze flashing in his eyes, I stopped mocking him, "Then... this time you pretended to be reunited after a long absence, and no one doubted it. you?"

"Now Yang Xu, the real boss of the village, has been with me in hardships. He has never stopped looking for me over the years, and has always reserved his position as the leader to wait for me to come back," Zhang Xianyang sighed invisibly. , "When he saw that I was still alive, he couldn't help but respect me as a great man. Naturally, he was not unsuspecting... Who is behind the cao to destroy the embankment in the sky, and what kind of plans are there, but there are very few He mentioned that it was only someone who helped him revitalize Changkong Village. Until a few days ago, I intercepted Yang Xu's secret letter from flying pigeons, and in the letter, I ordered Yang Xu to lead all brothers to gather in the suburbs of Beijing one after another, and we will wait for news on how to act... Can the princess guess who wrote this secret letter to Yang Xu?"

I blurted out, "Marquis Xiayang?"

Zhang Xianyang looked at me in astonishment, "Later, the minister did some tricks on the carrier pigeon that Yang Xu replied to the letter, and the dispatched person tracked it all the way to Suiyang, and the carrier pigeon was indeed flown to Xiayanghou's mansion." Speaking of this He paused, "How did the princess guess right?"

"When you mentioned that there were hidden people in the ruined dykes and flooded the fields, I thought of him. By doing this, the imperial court could spend a lot of money for disaster relief, and local officials had to use their troops because of the refugees. But he can unknowingly gather bandits from all sides for his use, who else would make such a 'good chess' move..."

Those who offer a plan, I am afraid, it is Fengli again.

"Nie Guang's chess is far more than that." Zhang Xianyang lowered his eyes and shook his head, "The princess is here at the moment, but Yang Xu was instructed by Xia Yanghou to do it deliberately. This wing was also prepared for the princess."

"This princess also guessed this," I shook the teacup in my hand, "In the woods today, do you really think this princess is ignorant?"

Zhang Xianyang hooked the corner of his mouth with interest, "Oh?"

"When He Pingzhao was about to capture Song Langsheng, you rushed in, attacked all the sergeants without even thinking about it, and threatened to take revenge. It's really weird... Even a child knows that 'mantis catching cicadas' How can a group of adult bandits be so calm and ignorant?"

Zhang Xianyang smiled noncommittally, and I tapped on the table with my fingertips, "If the bandit wants to take revenge, shouldn't he swipe a few sticks before saying anything? But you are obviously a lot of people, and you still explain your intentions politely. This only shows that he is not interested in seeking revenge at all."

"That's why the princess spoke out to try?"

"If you really want to take Song Langsheng's life, how can I be swayed by my eloquence? But everyone just cooperated with my words and pretended to be greedy for life and fear of death. The real goal is Who isn't obvious enough?"

Zhang Xianyang asked curiously, "Since the princess has already heard about it, why are you still willing to go with us?"

"Since you have come prepared and you are outnumbered, you might as well just plan and let you ignore the precautions." I put down my cup, turned to look at him, and said, "It's just that I really didn't expect this big boss to be you, but you, Knowing that Nie Guang is going to imprison me here, why not let me go on the spot?"

He frowned slightly, "Yang Xu was staring not far away at that time, if I send the princess back to the city, he will see that I have different intentions, and instead will try to obstruct it; only by first gaining his trust will he have a chance. Help the princess escape."

I couldn't help rolling my eyes, "Excuse me, when will you, the 'master' who no one listens to your orders, plan to help this princess out of this heavy guard?"

He said solemnly: "This is the best time."

I froze for a while, but saw Zhang Xianyang lifted his sleeves to reveal the arrow in his sleeves, "They have just settled down, and they are busy settling down. There are no more than ten guards here. I will take advantage of this stall to knock them down and bring the princess. Leave," he said, gluing back his beard, "is the princess ready?"

"..."

When Zhang Xianyang slammed the thief on guard, and led me resolutely to the pine tree beside the high wall on the east, I realized that he had already arranged everything.

He peeled off the ivy that was hidden behind the tree, pointed to the corner of the wall, and he had dug out the opening to the outside, saying: "The horses are ready behind the wall, the princess went all the way to the south, and when she saw the river Then we went back to the east along the way, and in less than half a day, we should be able to see the way back to Beijing."

I didn't think it was right to hear his tone, "Aren't you going to leave with this princess?"

He hesitated for a moment, "Nie Guang still has to convene bandits next. These people from all corners of the world have unique skills. If you gather thousands of people for them, their combat effectiveness is no less than that of an army. Right now, the minister can't leave. "

He took off his sleeve and threw it beside the tree, I raised my eyes and said, "Do you think you can deceive Yang Xu by leaving this behind? I escaped by myself?"

"Even if he has doubts in his heart, he will not easily conclude that I did it," Zhang Xianyang said: "Don't worry, Xianyang has his own measure, it is not too late, I have to go back."

I know he's doing the same thing as his dad back then.

Even if it is dangerous, even if it is gone forever.

Just as he turned around and left, I called out to him: "Have you ever thought that when you were able to destroy Changkong Village, it wasn't all your resourcefulness and courage?"

Zhang Xianyang stopped.

I said, "If it weren't for the fact that the bandits valued you back then, and if you didn't take advantage of their trust and righteousness in you, how would you be able to retreat?"

Zhang Xianyang turned his head and said, "Those bandits can plunder the people and harm the people for their own selfishness, what kind of justice is there to talk about with such a person?"

"The daughter of the bandit leader is also heinous, plundering and killing the people?"

There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and I said, "It's not that I want you to talk to them about justice, it's that you can't have a clear conscience yourself. If you didn't feel guilty and knew that Yang Xu had been searching for you for many years, why didn't you arrest him and lie down? If it wasn't for you who couldn't bear to kill them all, how would Changkongzhai come back out of the rivers and lakes today?"

Zhang Xianyang was shocked when he heard the words, and I said solemnly: "Since we have penetrated deep into the enemy camp, we must not show any sympathy. If we can't do it, we might as well leave as soon as possible."

He interrupted me, "Xianyang is fine."

I listened to his determined tone and knew that he had made up his mind and could not persuade him, "That's good."

After saying this, I got out of the mouth without looking back. Behind this high wall is a secluded path. If, as Zhang Xianyang said, a horse is waiting in front of me, waiting to confirm that there is no one around, Zhang Xianyang just hurried away.

I untied the horse rope, and my heart was mixed, listening to the rustling of the wind and the rustling of the rough bushes, inexplicably fostered the fear of being alone.

In fact, Song Langsheng said that I am a road idiot, and I am really a road idiot. I can't tell the difference between east, west and northwest. It's still unknown whether I can return to the capital safe and sound.

I don't know where is Song Lang's stranger?

Is he in a hurry, is he on his way to find me?

Just the moment I was thinking about it, I heard slow footsteps behind me, "A Tang."

Accompanied by that familiar call, I crossed my shoulders and put my hands on my chest, and I just stood there in a daze, not daring to look back for a while.

He walked around in front of me, I slowly raised my head, the stars in the night sky fell into his eyes, but he couldn't hide the thick panic, "Where is the injury?"

The soft part of my heart seemed to be stabbed. I remembered the state of dying when he burned his clothes last night, but at this moment, he did not hide his deep feelings. I shook my head, and suddenly felt a little wanted to cry.

He reached out and wiped away my tears, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I shook my head again, "I'm not afraid, just..."

Just because, thinking of you, and seeing you.

I stared at him, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to drive me away to break up with me and fight alone?"

Song Langsheng smiled lightly, "What about the princess? Didn't you lose two years of memory? Why would you rather put yourself in danger and save me?"

He really saw it, and when He Pingzhao came out this morning, I knew I couldn't hide it from him.

Seeing that I didn't answer Song Langsheng, Suo Xing jumped onto the horse with one hand in his arms, and the speed was galloping all the way. I had to let him hold it like this, and after walking for a long distance, I looked back and saw the village sparkling with sparks. The people who wanted to go to Changkong Village noticed that I had escaped, and they were gathering everyone to pursue it separately.

Song Langsheng slowed down his horse slightly, "Don't ask me how I got it?"

I glanced at him. "What's so amazing about me?"

If you can wait for me at the entrance of the wall, you don't have to guess to know that it was Zhang Xianyang's secret note that led him here.

I curled my lips, "You were the official who cooperated with Xian Yang in the past, right? You recognized him at a glance in the woods, didn't you?"

Song Langsheng said, "If I didn't know it was him, how could I leave you alone."

"No wonder Xianyang didn't escort me back to Beijing in person. It turns out that when you sang together today, you thought about the whole plan," I said gloomily: "It's a shame that I thought I saved you, but I look like a fool..."

Song Langsheng suddenly interrupted me: "Zhang Xianyang."

I was startled, "Huh?"

"Call him Zhang Xianyang," Song Langsheng was a little unhappy, "Xianyang Xianyang, what do you call him so close."

I was stunned, "Is this the time to care about these things? It's common to be familiar with each other after getting along for a long time..."

"Why do you always call me by my first and last name? Is Zhang Xianyang more familiar to you than me?"

I was choked, "Song Langsheng, don't you think about me on such a boring point just to change the subject..."

He said, "Look, you called me by name and surname again."

I:"……"

Song Langsheng's tone was not good, "I think about it this time, you always use only two words for people around you, but you use three words for me..."

"When do I..."

Song Langsheng interrupted me, "What is your name Wei Qingheng?"

"master."

He: "Isn't that two words?"

I:"……"

"What is your name Lu Lingjun?"

"...Brother Lu."

Song Langsheng: "Look."

"..."

"And Han Fei."

I couldn't bear it any longer, "His name is originally two words, how can you tell me to call it three words?"

"What about Xu Fang?"

I felt so excited that I was about to fall off the horse, "Xu Fang has no last name!"

Song Langsheng: "His surname is Nie."

"..."

Being disturbed by him like this, I almost forgot what question I asked him before. I tried to think about it for a long time, and then I remembered what to answer, "You haven't answered my question yet."
