Su San didn't know when she came back, looked at Xu Zizhen's appearance, sighed secretly, and called softly: "Sister Diji is gone, it's getting late, let's go into the city."

Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and came back to his senses, but he was still a little strange. Zhao Yan suddenly appeared here, but he didn't say anything substantive to him, and he didn't give him any advice to save others. He just said take care It disappeared after adding a warm hug, which is really unusual, but the Hejian Mansion is right in front of you, saving people is the most important thing, and Xu Zizhen didn't have time to think about it.

Hejian Mansion was an important town on the North East Road in the Song Dynasty. It was originally a prosperous city with a large population, but it was a pity that it was captured at the beginning of the Jin people's invasion of the south. However, Wu Qimai was a very intelligent monarch. He was not like the later Mongolian That kind of bloody rule and even massacre the city, but managed the Song people in the city and the Khitan people who fled from the former Liao Dynasty in the way of assimilation. Now the people in the city seem to have gradually become accustomed to the rule of the Jin people, and the gates of the city are often There were people coming in and out, and it was very lively.

Xu Zizhen brought Su San and Xu Mo to the city. The majestic city wall in front of him made him a little bit embarrassed. He really didn't know what the guards here did for food. Such a precipitous and easy-to-defend place was broken so easily.

But before he could think about it any more, his eyes suddenly swept across the city gate inadvertently, and he saw a row of narrow iron cages hanging beside the wide city gate, inside were bloody human heads, which made people look Shocking, one of them had a head with thick eyebrows and bearded eyes, and Xu Zizhen's eyes stopped there suddenly, his hands and feet became cold instantly, and the blood all over his body seemed to rush to the top of his head at this moment.

Mi Tang!This human head turned out to be Mi Tang!

Xu Zizhen's hands tucked into his sleeves were clenched tightly, the veins on his arms were bulging, and his teeth were gritting.

Mi Tang is straightforward and heroic, with a calm and generous personality. Although Xu Zizhen and him have not had much contact with him, he has a good impression of him. At the beginning when he rescued people in Zhending, he took him into the Taihang Mountains to avoid the pursuit of Jinbing. In front of his eyes, Xu Zizhen really wanted to violently kill all the golden men he could see, but reason calmed him down.

Su San obviously recognized Mi Tang, she also clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly, it was her trying to suppress her anger.

Xu Zizhen whispered: "Su San, hold back!"

Su San gritted her teeth and nodded slowly, and forcibly moved her gaze away from the row of people.

The gates of the city were bustling with people coming and going, a group of golden soldiers stood there lazily, everyone who entered the city would be searched, and those who brought things into the city had to be inspected separately, Xu Zizhen took a deep breath He stabilized his emotions in one breath, and walked towards the city gate with Su San and Xu Mo.

The three of them were all dressed up as poor people. Xu Zizhen's knife was hidden in the pole. Unless the pole was broken, it would not be obvious. Su San didn't bring out the cooked copper stick at all. One piece of yellow and one piece of black were so ugly that the golden soldiers guarding the gate lost interest after just one glance, and waved their hands to let them in without confiscating even a copper coin.

Xu Zizhen couldn't believe it, and said in a low voice, "Just let us in like this?"

Xu Mo said: "Brother, you don't know. When the Jin soldiers attacked Hejian Mansion, it was quite tragic. From outside the city to the inside of the city, many places were severely damaged. Now the most lacking in Hejian Mansion are craftsmen and civilians. The purpose is to restore the old appearance of the Hejian Mansion, so anyone who enters the city, especially people like us, will not come to investigate."

Ever since he decided to come here with Xu Zizhen, Xu Mo seemed to be a different person. He was not as flamboyant and frivolous as before. It seemed that he really wanted to help Xu Zizhen to the end.

Suddenly, Xu Zizhen glanced around, and sure enough, not only were there many mottled and dilapidated places on the city walls, but also many houses on the streets still had traces of knives, arrows and artillery fire, and some houses were even destroyed by more than half, leaving only half of ruins and ruins. Broken tiles all over the place.

He was a little surprised and said: "The defenders of the Hejian Mansion actually have a bit of backbone, look at this situation, there was a lot of fighting back then."

Xu Mo said disdainfully: "Fart, those grandsons ran away when the golden dog was dozens of miles away. What you saw were all left by the heroes of the Tianxiahui and the people in the city." His eyes became a little sad, "Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not a thing. At first I was timid and afraid that I didn't go with you. In the end, my house was taken over, and my father and mother were also killed..."

He was a little choked up when he said this, and he couldn't continue. Xu Zizhen suddenly understood why Xu Mo went to cheat. It was because he had completely lost confidence in the officials and generals of the Song Dynasty. Hejian Mansion was destroyed, and Taiyuan would sooner or later It will break, rather than waiting to die, it is better to cheat one by one, earn some money and get away with it before dying or becoming a subjugated slave.

Xu Zizhen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your revenge will definitely be avenged!"

Xu Mo only smiled faintly. In his opinion, Xu Zizhen's words were just comforting. Now that Jin is strong and Song is weak, if he wants to take revenge, he must drive Jin Bing back completely, but is it possible for the current Da Song?

The three of them were walking aimlessly on the street. When they first arrived here, they needed to familiarize themselves with the terrain first. Even if Xu Mo, the former local snake, led the way, Xu Zizhen needed to observe carefully, and by the way, make a rescue plan according to the current situation in the city. .

As he was walking, he suddenly found that many people in front of him were rushing in one direction, as if something good was waiting for them, Xu Zizhen was very curious, and grabbed a middle-aged man who was running past beside him, and asked Said: "Brother, why are you running in such a hurry? Is there anyone serving porridge?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the three of them, and said with a smile: "Little brother, did you just come from somewhere else? That's the yamen taking people to Xiufang City. The porridge can only take care of one meal. This Xiufang City is not twice a day." The work of the day, not only the food but also the wages, isn't that a great thing?"

Xu Zizhen also said happily: "It really is a good thing, brother is still looking for a job."

"Then hurry up, and you won't be able to get your turn if you're late." The middle-aged man said and started to run again. Xu Zizhen winked at Su San and Xu Mo, and followed.

There was an open space in front, and in the middle there was a yamen servant standing there with his head held high, with a haughty expression on his face, as if he had become a great errand. There were already more than 100 people crowded in front of him, including men, women, old and young. All of them were ragged, yellow and thin, and they were looking at him eagerly at this moment.

The yamen servant saw that the people were almost there, and said with a drink: "All stand up, Xiufang City will choose a total of [-] people, regardless of gender, no fine work, but you must have the strength, whoever wants to come in to make a living as soon as possible Get out of here, do you understand?"

The people below responded indiscriminately, and then there was a chaotic queue, taking turns to show the yamen servant, and all the taller ones with some flesh on their arms were reserved, but they really didn't choose carefully, Xu Zizhen and Su Sanxu Mo Fan dispersed and mixed in with the crowd. Out of 100 people chose [-], and all three of them were selected.

Those who were not selected left with disappointment on their faces. The yamen servant still kept his hands behind his back, and raised his chin to the remaining 60 people: "All come with me." After speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Zizhen was still mixed in the crowd, it was a coincidence that beside him was the middle-aged man who led him the way just now, but the middle-aged man frowned not long after walking: "Strange, isn't Fangshi in Dongshou? Why go west now?"
