I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 326
After hearing He Sheng's words, Old General Yang's complexion changed slightly. He was not worried about Yang Xu who was taken away by He Nuan, but he couldn't help but worry about Zhan Feiyu who left with Zhu Xiao and disappeared in the end.

"You don't have to worry too much, that girl Xiaoyu is very intelligent, she must be a lucky person with a natural appearance." Qiu Zongxi looked at his old friend reassuringly.

Seeing that He Sheng led the people away in a hurry, he continued: "Although Zhu Xiao can't be regarded as a good person, but he was able to let Xiao Xu leave at the mouth of the hole, which shows that he has no intention of killing, and Xiao Yu must be safe."

At that time, Zhu Xiao had more than 100 men around him. If he planned to kill, both Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu would die on the spot. There was no need for him to take Zhan Feiyu away.

Of course, as for Zhu Xiao's purpose of taking Zhan Feiyu away, Qiu Zongxi couldn't figure it out either. Fortunately, the little girl was smart and escaped by herself. Of course, Qiu Zongxi probably let Zhu Xiao turn a blind eye and let her go.

With a long sigh, Old General Yang sat down on the chair, and said with a wry smile: "In the end, it was Xiaoyu who saved Yang Xu, what a formidable future."

"Haha, your hair and beard are all gray, we can live a few more years at our age, the world will still depend on these juniors in the future." Qiu Zongxi laughed loudly, there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years , they are indeed old.

"This old man can mount a horse and kill the enemy." Old General Yang snorted disapprovingly, but temporarily let go of his worrying interest.

Although there is no need to worry about the safety of Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu, Old General Yang has to temporarily assume the duties of a parent official to appease the people in the city, especially those who died or were injured defending the tower.

As for the county magistrate Zhu who didn't know where he went, Old General Yang didn't bother to send people to hunt him down. Where could magistrate Zhu escape to in the land of the Daqing Dynasty?If he stayed and lived with Xiangwu County at that time, he would definitely be promoted to a higher level this time.

"How to deal with those barbarians?" Qiu Zongxi had an undisguised disgust when he mentioned these barbarians.

Old General Yang had guarded the frontier all his life, and he also hated the barbarians. "The barbarians captured alive are temporarily held in the prison of the county government, and handed over to General Liu to guard them."

As for the injured barbarians, he was also given simple medical treatment, as long as the person did not die, how to deal with it specifically, this matter involved the Marquis of Zhenbian, and Old General Yang still had to wait for the order of the Holy Majesty.

……

On the other side, the people sent by Lin Jiang chased He Nuan in the direction where He Nuan left, but they still underestimated He Nuan's ability to hide. They didn't find He Nuan's whereabouts until dawn.

"Who is in front?" The sound of horse hoofs sounded, and seeing the group of people galloping forward, Lin Jiang immediately stopped the horse and looked alert.

After Xiangwu County was safe, Lin Jiang didn't care about being tired. After hastily bandaging the wound, he led people out of Xiangwu County, hoping to find He Nuan and Yang Xu.

After seeing clearly the group of people rushing forward, Lin Jiang immediately got off his horse and pleaded guilty on one knee, "General, this subordinate failed to protect Master Xu well."

"Get up." Yang Shoucheng got off his horse.

Seeing that Lin Jiang was seriously injured and had several subordinates, even though he was worried about Yang Xu's whereabouts, Yang Shoucheng helped him up, "How about Xiangwu County?"

Yang Shoucheng didn't expect that the Zhenbianhou's mansion would be so courageous that they dared to let the barbarians in. Fortunately, Xiangwu County was guarded. If Xiangwu County was slaughtered by the barbarians, the people of the Zhenbianhou's mansion would die. to blame.

Lin Jiang explained everything in detail, with guilt still on his face, "At that time, the situation was critical, and Miss Zhan asked He Nuan to take Master Xu to leave first. Later, Miss Zhan followed Zhu Xiao and his party. Let Lao Wu and the others chase in He Nuan's direction, and the subordinates followed He Sheng and others and fell far behind the town's Marquis Mansion, hoping to save Miss Zhan."

"Is there any news from Wu Gang?" Yang Shoucheng's heart was relieved.

Following Yang Shoucheng and galloping all the way, a group of subordinates were also relieved, they were really afraid that they would be a step late, but fortunately, Master Xu was fine, and Xiangwu County was also fine.

"The subordinates have already sent a signal, maybe the distance is too far, and there is no response from Lao Wu." Lin Jiang guessed that Lao Wu and the others have not found Master Xu's whereabouts, otherwise, if they were on the way back, they would definitely be able to find him. See the signal.

"General." It was a woman who spoke, tall and slender, with handsome facial features. If it weren't for this voice, this figure would have been thought to be a thin man at first glance, "Could this be a game?"

No wonder Wei Shuying doubted Zhan Feiyu. Judging from Lin Jiang's narration, Zhan Feiyu was simply a saint who was selfless and devoted to love and righteousness. People went to Aozikou to save Master Xu.

After the people from Zhenbianhou's Mansion appeared, she gave the chance of survival to Young Master Xu, and she left with the people from Zhenbianhou's Mansion, and finally escaped under Zhu Xiao's nose, what did Wei Shuying think? Suspect.

It's just been a few months of acquaintance, that little girl is able to sacrifice her life for Master Xu?

If it wasn't for a game, it would be absurd for an unarmed little girl to escape from the guards of the town's Marquis Mansion.

Lin Jiang was taken aback, and subconsciously retorted, "Impossible! Miss Zhan is definitely not a villain with evil intentions!"

Wei Shuying snorted coldly, looked at Lin Jiang and questioned: "You know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart, how long have you known that little girl, and how do you know what kind of person she is? We will do our best to protect Master Xu, but why should she give up?" Your own life in exchange for Master Xu's safety?"

As for Zhan Feiyu's high-sounding reason, Wei Shuying wouldn't believe a single word of it. A little girl can deny her relatives just to study. She is so ambitious and ruthless, how can she be willing to give up her life?I'm afraid there are other plans.

Seeing Lin Jiang and Wei Shuying arguing, Yang Shoucheng said in a deep voice: "The most important thing at the moment is to find Xiaoxu and Xiaoyu. There is no need to mention speculations without evidence."

As for Wei Shuying's conjecture, although it is more reasonable, Yang Shoucheng will not believe it. Although Xiaoyu's girl has a scheming heart, she acts aboveboard and upright.

The Yang family did hold the military power, but Xiaoyu really didn't need to set up this game just to win the trust of the Yang family.

She studied under Xueshi Gu, and is inextricably linked with the Forbidden Dragon Guard. If Xiaoyu wants power and status, there are plenty of ways. If Xiaoxu starts from here, even if the game is over, it will take at least ten years before it will be effective. .

Yang Shoucheng knew Zhan Feiyu's intelligence. In the past ten years, she had already achieved fame, so why bother.

Lin Jiang stopped arguing, "General, when He Nuan left from the west side of Aozikou, there was a village ten miles to the west, and there was another village further on, and there was a forest on the left side of the village. ..."

Yang Shoucheng looked at the map laid out on the ground, compared it with Lin Jiang's narration, and after thinking for a while, said in a deep voice: "He Nuan has a calm personality, and she is not familiar with the villages outside Xiangwu County, so in order to ensure Xiao Xu's Safe, she might do the opposite."

"The hero sees the same thing. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Going to hide in other places will inevitably leave traces under panic. If the enemy follows the traces, Master Xu will be in danger."

Standing beside Yang Shoucheng, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in a green shirt smiled and spoke, but unfortunately he had a beard on his face, so his facial features could not be seen clearly.

Pointing to the Aozikou on the map, Tie Wen drew his finger in the direction of Linzhou Mansion, "Going back to Aozikou will not only hide your tracks, but also your horses will stay here, with Master Xu, four legs comparable Two legs are much faster, not to mention that Linzhou Prefecture is the territory of the Zhang family."

It doesn't matter who wants to attack Young Master Xu, but the Zhang family in Linzhou Prefecture will never dare to kill Young Master Xu, and if it is really dangerous, they will try their best to help. After all, the reason for Zhang Minxian's murder is still in the hands of the general. clenched.

After a while, more than 20 horses galloped towards the direction of Aozikou, and the snow and dust aroused were flying. Even if Yang Shoucheng believed in any warmth, no one could feel relieved if he didn't see Yang Xu.

Slowing down slightly, Tie Wen and Yang Shoucheng drove side by side, "It's rare for a general to trust someone so much, even a little girl."

Old Man Tie has three sons. The eldest son has been staying in the blacksmith shop all these years, just like a blacksmith. The youngest son, Old Man Tie, is a rascal.

Tiewen is the second son and a scholar, not to mention that the neighbors of the blacksmith shop have not seen Tiewen for more than ten years, but the former Yang family probably almost forgot about Tiewen.

Only Yang Shoucheng's confidantes know that Tie Wen used to be Yang Shoucheng's military adviser. Although his whereabouts have been a mystery these years, after the news that the Yang family was going to recover, it was Tie Wen who started to contact the old department of the Yang family, and he was also the one who screened out the Yang family. Find out who has always been loyal to the Yang family and who has two hearts.

It can be said that after General Yang was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Yang Shoucheng handed over the power in the hands of Tie Wen, and these people in the old Yang family were always under the command of Tie Wen in secret.

Mentioning Zhan Feiyu, Yang Shoucheng's stern and stern face rarely showed some smiles, "You have never seen such a beautiful little girl, who is extremely intelligent but open and upright. Compared with her, Mr. Qiu only said Yang Xu is an elm head."

Tie Wen, holding the rein, couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "If Lin Jiang hadn't just said that the little girl was the first to abandon Qiu Jinyu, I would have believed what the general said."

If he was really a kind person, how could he watch Qiu Jinyu die, not only Qiu Jinyu, but also ten of his subordinates, eleven lives were lost like this.

What's more, in Huai'an Mansion that day, the bodies of the 47 dead men who assassinated her hung on the city wall for half a month. Yang Shoucheng said that Zhan Feiyu was kind, but Tie Wen didn't believe a word.

Glancing at Tie Wen from the corner of the eye, Yang Shoucheng didn't argue with words, he would know when he saw Xiao Yu, and it would be useless to talk more at this time.

……

On the other side, Yin Wuyan planned to take Zhan Feiyu back to Xiangwu County, but the little girl woke up halfway, probably because the horse was too bumpy.

Coupled with the cold weather, even though he was wrapped in Yin Wuyan's big cloak, the cold wind from the galloping horse still made Zhan Feiyu not sleep well enough, and he woke up in about two quarters of an hour.

"Big brother, Ah Nuan must have turned back to Aozikou, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, we'll go there now." Zhan Feiyu turned around and grinned at Yin Wuyan, with a small expression. flattery.

Yin Wuyan looked deeply at the fawning little girl with her phoenix eyes, her cold voice did not show any emotional fluctuations at first, "Are you worried about Yang Xu?"

"I'm more worried about Ah Nuan. If we are really in danger, Ah Nuan will definitely protect Yang Xu with all his might." Zhan Feiyu sighed, with a look of entanglement and depression on his face, "This time, Ah Nuan took Yang Xu and left first. Nuan obeyed the order at the time, but she was definitely unhappy in her heart."

He Nuan's unhappiness stemmed from her own "running away". As Zhan Feiyu's subordinate, she should have desperately protected Zhan Feiyu until the last moment, but she took Yang Xu and left first.

Although this order was given by Zhan Feiyu, He Nuan must feel guilty and blame himself.This self-blame is because of her own dereliction of duty. If she is more skilled, then she will not leave Miss and leave.

Looking at the frowning little girl who didn't know what to do, Yin Wuyan's phoenix eyes sank, even though it was Xiaoyu's order, but in that situation, He Sheng and the others should have taken Xiaoyu away immediately.

No, to be more precise, He Sheng and the others shouldn't have let Xiao Yu leave Xiangwu County to rescue Yang Xu at Aozikou. Their duty is to protect their master. If Xiao Yu is in such a dangerous situation, He Sheng and the others cannot escape. blame!
But aware of Zhan Feiyu's protection of He Nuan and the others, Yin Wuyan put away his thoughts of punishment, at least not on the bright side, and he couldn't let Xiaoyu know that the little girl is the most soft-hearted, if she finds out, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Big brother." Zhan Feiyu said suddenly, pleading in a soft voice, "Big brother, don't punish Ah Nuan and the others, they are my subordinates, so naturally my orders shall prevail."

"I have a measure." Yin Wuyan responded, tightening Zhan Feiyu's arm slightly, "Sit still."

The steed suddenly picked up speed, and under the icy wind, Zhan Feiyu immediately shrank his little head into the cloak, and could only temporarily hold down what he wanted to say.

Just as Zhan Feiyu and Yang Shoucheng deduced, He Nuan carried the knocked out Yang Xu to the west under the cover of night, and turned back halfway back to Aozikou.

But He Nuan acted cautiously. She didn't dare to ride a horse at first, fearing that the sound of the horse's hooves would attract the attention of the enemy, so she put Yang Xu on the horse's back, stripped off the clothes from the corpse on the ground, cut them off with a sharp sword, wrapped the horse's hoof, Then he led the horse and walked carefully towards the entrance of Aozikou.

He Nuan got on his horse and headed straight towards the Linzhou Mansion until he got out of Aozikou. At dawn, Yang Xu finally woke up.

It stands to reason that it is safest to go to Linzhou Mansion at this time, but Yang Xu is worried that Zhan Feiyu will go back to Xiangwu County, and He Nuan is not the same, but thinking of Zhan Feiyu's order, He Nuan still took Yang Xu all the way The horse galloped.

Of course, the two did not enter Linzhou Mansion in the end, but chose to hide in a small village on the way, and found an empty house to hide their figures. Afterwards, both He Nuan and Yang Xu sent out signals, hoping that the Dragon Guards would return People from the old Yang family can look for it after seeing it.
