Chapter 54
"Huh...huh..."

Panting heavily, Zhang Yanxiong finally rushed to the top of the tower.

He had just turned around the corridor by the tower, when suddenly a loud shout sounded in front of him.

"Stop!"

Zhang Yanxiong looked up in a hurry, and saw Li Xia and Zhang Wenjing standing on the eaves of the tower.

Li Xia held Zhang Wenjing's back collar in one hand and a crossbow in the other, with his long sword hanging obliquely, standing there calmly.

He had already untied Zhang Wenjing's hands, but tied her waist with a rope and tied her with him.

Standing too high, Zhang Wenjing was obviously terrified, with tears on her face, one hand tightly grasping Li Xia's skirt, the other hand slightly opened in the air, like a little sparrow fluttering its wings .

The slender hands are fair and delicate, but obviously they cannot be turned into wings to fly.

The figure and appearance of the man and the woman are the most outstanding, so Zhang Yanxiong's first impression is...so good for each other.

At the thought of this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he restrained his mind and observed it quickly.

The eaves of the tower can't be climbed up quickly. If you move here, the opponent has too much time to kill the eldest sister.

So Zhang Yanxiong stopped, and several Zhang family guards bumped up behind him.

"Let go of my eldest sister!"

"Don't come here, or I'll kill her."

As Li Xia said, he occasionally glanced down the tower to observe the situation below, as if he was waiting for something.

"Don't, don't..." Zhang Yanxiong said: "Listen to me, don't touch Eldest Sister, we have something to talk about, let her go, you will not only have a chance to survive, but also have a good future..."

"is it?"

"You are from Song Dynasty, right? There are some things you don't understand."

The wind on the tower is very strong, as if it wants to blow off a man and a woman on the eaves.

Zhang Yanxiong narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about something in his head, and spoke sincerely.

"Our Zhang family may not be what you think. We are not like your military generals in Zhao and Song Dynasties, who are like dogs in front of civil officials. My family's commander-in-chief leads an army and government. 'Shihou'..."

"What are you talking about to me?" Li Xia mentioned Zhang Wenjing, which made her cry again.

Zhang Yanxiong quickly raised his hand and said, "No, I just want to tell you that as long as you let the elder sister go, not only will we not hold you accountable, but we will also give you a lot of benefits... Let me tell you something about the past. At the beginning, there was a clansman, Zhang Xin, who robbed the refugee’s daughter. Ha, this letter counts as my cousin. After the commander found out about this, he whipped him a hundred times and returned his daughter, so he held a grudge , assassinate the commander in chief. Do you know what happened afterwards?"

Li Xia didn't answer, and glanced at the tower again.

Zhang Yanxiong continued: "The commander-in-chief not only pardoned Zhang Xin, but also saved Zhang Xin's life on the battlefield. This is his heart, strict military discipline, but no personal grudges. Little brother, your name is Yang Shen, right?" , Or is this a pseudonym? You are so talented, it's a pity to work for Song Ting, really..."

Here in the north, everyone seems to be saying that it is not worth working for Song Ting.

Li Xia still looked indifferent, interrupted Zhang Yanxiong, and said, "What? Can you still recruit me as a son-in-law for Zhang Rou?"

Zhang Yanxiong was taken aback.

He seemed to be choked for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly, and he said loudly: "Why not? Okay! Brother, I will bear this matter for you, and we will discuss it in front of the commander-in-chief!"

While speaking, he also turned his head and glanced down the tower, only to see that many of the guards of the Zhang family had been killed by the Mongolians, and the rest were forming an formation at the tower gate to protect themselves.

In the distance, more guards from the Zhang family rushed over.

"Let's talk about today's matter." Zhang Yanxiong said: "I know you want to provoke the general and the Mongolian people. It doesn't matter, we can kill the following Mongolian people without leaving any! The Liangzi passed by, how about it?"

"Oh?"

"Don't think that we usually treat people politely, but we may not be really afraid of them. We just need to kill them today to ensure that the matter will not reach the Khan Court, and everything can be redeemed. Little brother, let the eldest sister go, and I will guarantee you to become a Son-in-law of the Zhang family, from now on, you will leap into the dragon's gate, and with your ability, you will surely shine, and I will have to curry favor with you, brother, haha!"

Li Xia said: "It's too easy, I don't believe you."

"How can you not believe me?" Zhang Yanxiong said: "The commander-in-chief's demeanor, your ability, and the magnificence of the prince, the brother who should be said has explained it clearly. My family's commander-in-chief has twelve sons, and only these two daughters , as a treasure, you marry the eldest sister, and your future will be indispensable in the future. Besides, you took her away for two nights, this matter... In short, you are the son-in-law of this family! If not, let me Zhang Yanxiong was quartered by five horses and died a terrible death!"

Zhang Wenjing was extremely ashamed and annoyed after hearing these conversations.

She wanted to say something, but there was a slanted tower eaves under her feet, broken tiles would fall off when she moved her feet, and the wind seemed to blow her fluttering body off.

From time to time, there were shrill screams, and the two groups of people under the tower were still fighting, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Zhang Wenjing had no choice but to hold Li Xia tightly, no matter how ashamed and frightened, she could only cry incessantly in the end, and she didn't know why there were so many tears in her eyes.

However, Zhang Yanxiong was still saying those words earnestly.

"Little brother, brother, to be honest, just now when my brother rushed up to see you and eldest sister, I just had one thought, you are really a match made in heaven, sincerely. Don't hesitate, let eldest sister go, come down, let's kill all the people below Mengren, a real man does things, don't be a mother-in-law, hurry up, things won't be covered any later..."

Li Xia didn't answer, but glanced around again, quickly looking in several directions.

suddenly.

"Click" sounded.

Where they couldn't see, there were obviously guards from the Zhang family trying to climb to the top of the tower, as if they were going around to make a surprise attack near Li Xia.

"You want to lie to me?" Li Xia smiled lightly.

"No! I told them to stop, stop, don't..."

It was too late, Li Xia quickly pulled Zhang Wenjing to the back, and disappeared in front of Zhang Yanxiong.

Zhang Yanxiong was shocked, he rushed forward a few steps, looked up, and saw Li Xia jumped up from the top of the tower with Zhang Wenjing in his arms...

"do not want!"

~~
Bozhou.

A member of the Zhang family named "Shen Kai" walked quickly into the hall and cupped his hands in front of Zhang Hongdao.

"Report to Goro, check the things Yang Shen bought at the market before leaving the city."

Zhang Hongdao's eyes were full of worry, he nodded and said, "Speak."

Shen Kaidao: "At that time he lived in Qin Bosheng's house, so he went to the nearest Songtang Street. First, he exchanged a piece of silver, and finally bought two bags of items. The villain asked a lot, or there were some omissions. So far, he has found out There are dry food, clothing, lime, scissors, spirits, chains, maps..."

"Details."

"Yes, the dry food is for one person for three days, including horse feed; the clothes are four sets of ready-made clothes, two of which he spent money to strip off from the watchmen and street vendors..."

Shen Kai spoke in detail, but Zhang Hongdao listened tirelessly.

Including how much lime was bought, enough to marinate several heads; how many maps are there, and where are they drawn.He carefully understood every detail, and even asked people to bring the vendors over for questioning.

"The next one is the fiber rope..."

"tow rope?"

"Yes, the rope used to pull the boat." Shen Kai said: "I bought the strongest kind, and I bought more than thirty feet."

Zhang Hongdao frowned, and pondered: "Thirty feet...does he want to climb out of the city wall?"

"It's possible that he also bought a lot of iron hooks, presumably because he was afraid of inconsistencies and wanted to flee the city?"

"Well, no matter where you climb, this thing is always useful." Zhang Hongdao murmured again, "Continue to the next object..."
