Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the whole Xu Mansion is busy with work. Mo Lier, Kou Qiaoyi, is arranging new year's goods, Shui Liuli, Wen Xian, leads the maids and servants to put up red window grilles for Spring Festival couplets, and Bao'er Gao Chong hangs red lanterns.

Xu Zizhen went out of the city to drink with Wushu, and the whole city was watching nervously, but the Xu family was filled with joy and festive atmosphere, they didn't take it seriously, they believed that Wushu couldn't hurt Xu Zizhen, after a while Probably should come back.

But after waiting for a long time, Xu Zizhen did not arrive, but only Xu Shiqi came back, holding Xiaobaicai in his hand.

Mo Lier glanced behind him and asked, "Seventeen, why are you the only one coming back? Where's your husband?"

Xu Shiqi's face was a little ugly, and he said in a low voice, "Master said he was going to travel far away, so he left."

Mo Lier was startled: "Gone? Where did he go?"

Xu Shiqi said: "I don't know the little one."

All the girls looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing that the Chinese New Year would be tomorrow, where would Xu Zizhen go at this time?Should I go to Xixia to see the princess of the Li family or the younger sister of the Yun family?Or Taiyuan Prefecture?But it doesn't make sense.

Xu Zizhen went missing again. Not to mention Gao Pujun this time, even Wen Xian and Kou Qiaoyi couldn’t help but feel a little angry. The girls chirped and discussed, denouncing Xu Zizhen’s irresponsible behavior. He backed out, but no one seemed to see the deep worry hidden in his eyes.

"Seventeen."

Suddenly a call came to his ears, Xu Shiqi raised his head sharply, and saw someone blocking his way in front of him, it was Gillian.

Xu Shiqi stood with his hands down, and called out respectfully, "Miss."

Xu Zizhen took in two younger sisters, one was Gillian brought by Hu Sanniang, who was the eldest lady, and the other was Lin Zhi who was rescued by Tubo, who was the second lady. Xu Shiqi considered himself a servant of the Xu family, so naturally they called them that. up.

Gillian came to him, looked into his eyes, and suddenly asked: "What did Wu Shu and Xu Zizhen say? Don't say you didn't hear it, I know you can see it."

Xu Shiqi was speechless. Although Xu Zizhen and Wushu were drinking, he stood far away, but his eyes never left there. He knew exactly what Wushu said, but Xu Zizhen told him before leaving that even if he saw What Wu Shu said, he was not allowed to reveal half of it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gillian nodded and said, "It's fine if you don't say anything, but it's so far from Shangjing, did he bring any money?"

Xu Shiqi replied subconsciously: "I have."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had slipped the tongue, and looked at Gillian in shock, not knowing how she knew.

A complex look flashed in Gillian's eyes. It's not difficult to guess. Just after Wushu asked Xu Zizhen for a drink, Xu Zizhen disappeared on the back foot. It is Taiyuan and other places, Xu Zizhen will definitely come back and bring people with him, but now he quietly left alone, there is only one explanation, that is, Xu Zizhen's trip is extremely dangerous, and with his temperament, he will never involve others, so Gillian used I came to Beijing to try it out, but I didn't expect to win in the first try.

After being shocked, Xu Shiqi begged: "Miss, don't you want all the ladies to know that the master has ordered..."

Gillian glanced at him: "Would it be useful to tell them? Could it make them rush to accompany Xu Zizhen to die?"

Xu Shiqi was silent again. Gillian was right. Xu Zizhen's going here is no different from sending him to death. Shangjing is the imperial city of the Kingdom of Jin. If he single-handedly rescued the Empress Concubine Rong Xi, he might not even meet him face to face. Yes... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and there was something more urgent in front of him.

Before he could say it, Gillian had already said it: "Wushu is a versatile man, but he is very afraid of Xu Zizhen. Now that he has been lured away from Yingtian Mansion, I am afraid it will be a big battle."

Xu Shiqi gritted his teeth and said, "The master entrusted the family to me. Even if I die, I will not let the wives and the two young ladies have anything to do."

Gillian didn't speak any more, turned around and went back in, she knew the fighting power of the Jin army best, especially Wushu's ability, Ying Tianfu's defenders under the leadership of Zhao Gou were stronger than the officers and soldiers in many other places, But it can only be resisted for a few more days. Now that the whole city regards Xu Zizhen as the backbone, his departure will definitely cause the morale of the defenders in the city to plummet.

The news of Xu Zizhen's departure quickly reached the ears of Zhao Gou and other officials. Sure enough, as Gillian expected, Zhao Gou's face immediately turned pale. He was used to relying on Xu Zizhen. Now that Xu Zizhen left suddenly, he Some didn't know what to do.

For the next half day, Zhao Gou and all the officials waited anxiously for the large-scale attack of the Jin army. Zhang Shuye returned to the top of the city before he even had time to remove his armor.

The city above and below the city was solemn, and countless eyes were fixed on the plain outside the city gate. It was unknown when the army of the Kingdom of Jin would appear on the horizon like a dark cloud.

But to everyone's surprise, the scouts came to report at dusk, and the Jinren retreated.

"Retreat?" Zhao Gou was stunned for a while, and then asked the scout, "Can you see clearly, whether to retreat or where to turn?"

The scout said with certainty: "Return to Your Highness, the villain can see very clearly that the army of Jinren has risen and headed north."

"This... why is this?" Zhao Gou couldn't believe it. After waiting for a long time in the city, Jin Jun went back. Although the result was what he wanted, he really couldn't understand it.

Wu Shoubei on the side hesitated for a moment, and said, "Could it be that Xu Zizhen made some agreement with the Jinren?"

Master Yong sneered and said, "Is Xu Zizhen the golden dog's father? If you tell them to quit, they will quit?"

Wu Shoubei blushed, but he didn't dare to contradict Lord Yong, he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Zhang Shuye suddenly said: "Could it be that Xu Zizhen had already guessed that the Jin people would retreat inexplicably, so he left in peace?"

This statement immediately aroused the approval of most of the people present. Although they might not all like Xu Zizhen, they all believed in Xu Zizhen's ability. The trial was a bit over.

……

Xu Zizhen didn't care whether Wushu would retreat or not. He didn't know about it at all. He only believed in one thing, that is, the Yingtian Mansion in history would be destroyed, and Zhao Gou was forced to flee because of this. It all happened after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, that is to say, Yingtian Mansion was safe for at least these few months. In fact, he was already on the official road to Qingzhou when the Jin army set off.

At the same time, another incident happened in the Xu family—after Xu Zizhen's disappearance, Gillian also disappeared.
