The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 184 The two girls are saved
Knowing that the south gate was in danger, Li Shouzhen hurriedly led troops to rescue, but unfortunately it was too late. Chai Rong led the Tianxiong army into the inner city and started a street battle with the rebels.

The remaining city gates were also announced to have been breached, and the imperial army came from all directions. Li Shouzhen and his son led the remaining troops to retreat into the city.

The slogan "Those who surrender will not be killed" rang out throughout the inner city. The morale of the rebels was completely shattered. Countless people abandoned their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Guo Wei and a group of generals sent troops to attack Zicheng, vowing to annihilate Li Shouzhen in one go.

Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin led their troops to search and suppress the inner city and clear out those who resisted. Wei Renpu was busy issuing notices to calm the people in the city.

Zhu Xiu took Pan Mei and Shi Xiangwen, together with Fu Zhaoxin, to the east warehouse of the city.

"Look! Madam!" Stepping into the warehouse, Pan Mei saw Fu Jinzhan squatting by the well washing clothes.

She was dressed in a simple sarong, without any makeup, and her hair was casually inserted with wooden hairpins at an angle, making her look a bit dazed and haggard.

"Big sister!" Fu Zhaoxin called out in surprise. Fu Jinzhan turned his head to look, was startled, stood up and murmured: "Brother."

Fu Zhaoxin took a few steps forward excitedly, held Fu Jinzhan's arms, and said anxiously: "Are you okay?"

Fu Jinzhan smiled: "My sister is doing well, my brother is thinking about me. How are my father and the family?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine! My father and the sisters at home were worried about you and were worried that you would be killed by the Li family and his son. Now that you are fine, it's really a blessing from God!" Fu Zhaoxin sighed with emotion.

Fu Jinzhan leaned over and saluted: "I almost caused harm to my family. My sister feels guilty!"

Fu Zhaoxin sighed: "No one knows what my eldest sister said. Li Shouzhen and his son dared to conspire to rebel. If you can stand firm and not compromise with the thieves, my father said that the Fu family's family tradition will be strengthened because of you, and we are proud of you!" "

"Father." Fu Jinzhan choked in a low voice, tears welling up in his eyes.

For more than a year, she had faced the persecution of Li Shouzhen and his son alone, and she had already made plans to die rather than implicate the Fu family.

Now that she can reunite with her family, it is a blessing after all the hardships, and it is worthy of her hard work for more than a year.

Zhu Xiu and Pan Mei happily stood aside, not disturbing the reunion of the siblings.

Fu Zhaoxin calmed down his emotions and bowed to Zhu Xiu solemnly: "Brother Zhu Xian saved my eldest sister from danger. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart!"

Zhu Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "Brother Fu is serious. As early as when we were in Cangzhou, the eldest lady had saved my life. I can be where I am today thanks to the eldest lady's care. What I am doing now, It’s just a matter of repaying the original kindness.”

Fu Zhaoxin said with emotion: "No matter what, I, the Fu family, will never forget the kindness of my virtuous brother!"

Fu Jinzhan wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "When Pan Mei kidnapped you, I thought you were a bit quick-witted, so I spared your life. Later, you helped me defend the city many times. This time, it was all thanks to your planning. You can save my life. After all, I still owe you a favor."

Zhu Xiu said with a smile: "My lady is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. I planted good causes in the beginning and now I have received good results. Everything is fate!"

"Yes, we are really destined." Fu Jinzhan was filled with emotion. When Yiyan saved Zhu Xiu, she never thought that one day her life would be saved because of Zhu Xiu.

Pan Mei sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't kill Mr. Zhu with a single blow. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Cangzhou City couldn't be defended and things would become a mess in the future."

Zhu Xiu said unhappily: "Who told you to indiscriminately insist that I am a Khitan Hunu!"

Pan Mei rubbed her beard sheepishly and said with a dry smile: "You can't blame me entirely. You are so bald and you are no different from a Khitan aristocrat. I thought catching a big fish would be a great achievement." Zhu Xiu pouted. Fortunately, he woke up quickly at that time. Otherwise, Pan Mei would have had his head chopped off with a knife, making him the fastest dead time traveler in history.
"By the way, I just saw Madam Fu washing blood clothes?" Zhu Xiu pointed to the wooden tray next to the well. There was an undershirt soaked in it, and the water was dyed red with blood.

Fu Jinzhan sighed: "It's Miss Bi. When we fought out of Prince Qin's palace, she was hit by an arrow in her leg, which damaged her veins and caused her to bleed. Fortunately, everything was prepared here at the warehouse and delivered in time, so she saved her life in the end."

Zhu Xiu's heart tightened and she said in a deep voice, "I'll go see her first."

Everyone entered the house, and the Zhenhai Battalion sergeant who stayed at the warehouse took them to visit Bi Hongyu.

During the rescue of Fu Jinzhan, two Zhenhaiying brothers were killed by arrows while fighting out of the house. Bi Hongyu was injured by an arrow and suffered a great loss of energy and blood.

Overall, the mission was completed without any danger.

Bi Hongyu was lying on the bed, her face paler than the thin undershirt she was wearing, and her black hair spread out.

She seemed to have noticed someone approaching in her sleep, and she woke up subconsciously, frowning, as if she felt the weakness and pain in her body.

"Young Master," Bi Hongyu whispered. Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Xiu, trying to stand up with her hands on her hands.

"Don't move! Lie down peacefully!" Zhu Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the quilt for her.

Bi Hongyu has a cold temperament. She has never been watched by so many people. When she was injured and sick and lying on the bed, it made her very uncomfortable. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her pale cheeks, and she whispered stubbornly: "I'm fine."

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "No matter what happens, you lie down for me. This is a military order."

Bi Hongyu remained silent.

Fu Zhaoxin solemnly expressed his gratitude in person. Bi Hongyu knew that he was Mrs. Fu's brother, the eldest son of the Fu family, with a distinguished status, so she was a little at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

Zhu Xiu didn't stop him and let Fu Zhaoxin express his gratitude with a smile. After he bowed and saluted, he politely asked them to leave the room and wait.

Pan Mei cupped her fists and said carelessly: "Sister Hongyu, if you are grateful, our old Pan won't say anything. You saved Mrs. Fu's life, which is equivalent to saving my old Pan's life. If anything happens in the future, just keep talking. If If that guy Bi Zhenhai dares to pester you again, I'll beat him up for you!"

Bi Hongyu glanced at him angrily, gritted her teeth and shouted, "I want you to take care of it!" There were a few more blushes on her cheeks, which made her look very cute against her fair face.

"Sister, from now on we will work together for Zhu Xiaozi, we are considered colleagues, you don't need to be polite to me."

Pan Mei wanted to put on a face to get close, but Zhu Xiu said angrily, "Okay, okay, you go out first, don't disturb others' rest."

Pan Mei glared and said, "Why don't you leave?"

Zhu Xiu said angrily: "We still have something to say! It involves the secrets of the Changyi Army!"

Pan Mei was unconvinced and said: "I want to listen too! Aren't we a family?"

Zhu Xiu pointed at the door: "Stop rambling, this is an order!"

"Tch~" Pan Mei muttered, and walked out of the house resentfully and closed the door behind her.
