"Miss Zhang Er, I dare not agree to your rescue of Mr. Zhang."

"Um?"

Zhang Xia was stunned. She traded her own safety for Chen Ji to sneak into the Tiger Armor Cavalry, so that Chen Ji could have a chance to save his father, but now Chen Ji said that he could not agree to her.

Under the night, Chen Ji held Zhang Xia's hands behind his back and whispered: "There are tens of thousands of rebels in the Liu family, but I am only one person. I can't do anything to turn the tide. I can't promise things easily. "

Zhang Xia lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time: "Well, you are much more powerful than me after all. There is no hope for me to save my father by myself. Chen Ji, what I am going to say next is very important and may be able to help you: You just killed him I have seen that person. He is a tenant named Zhang Yuan in my farm. He has always been diligent in his work. I guess these private soldiers of the Liu family usually hide in the market, so they wear visors to avoid being recognized. out..."

Before he finished speaking, the soldier who had previously questioned the traces had already arrived nearby. He looked at Zhang Xia and asked, "Who is this woman?" Another soldier who came over whispered: "Sir, this woman is Zhang Zhuo. Daughter-in-law, Zhang Xia."

Chen Ji looked up and saw that the mask of the person called "Sir" was different from the others. The other people's masks all had "human faces" that were neither happy nor sad, but this one had an angry look on his face. "Tiger Face".

The tiger-faced warrior glanced at Zhang Xia, then looked at Chen Ji suspiciously.

After he pondered for a moment, he waved to the soldier beside him and said, "The Zhang family's mistress hasn't been found yet. You continue to search, and I will escort Zhang Xia out with him." The tiger-faced soldier said to Chen Ji, "Let's go."

Wearing heavy armor, Chen Ji held his spear upside down and pushed Zhang Xia towards the outside of the house. The tiger-faced armored man followed behind, holding the spear in his hand tightly and looking at him warily.

Chen Ji continued to move forward calmly. The other party probably suspected him, but did not rush to take action... Is it because the other party was not sure of his identity and strength, so he did not dare to reveal his identity rashly?

Along the way, the originally brightly lit Zhang Mansion was in a mess. When Zhang Xia passed by the corpses of the maids and servants in the mansion, he turned his face slightly and couldn't bear to look at it. When he walked out of the red lacquer door of Zhang Mansion, he was already squatting outside Cuiyun Lane. There were many Chen family servants looking around hastily, but Chen Wenzong was the only one standing proudly among the crowd.

The clothes of this noble young master of the Chen family were dirty and messy, and the hairpin holding his hair in a bun was missing somewhere.

The tiger-faced armored soldier behind Chen Ji clenched his spear with his right hand, and secretly attacked the dozen or so armored men in Cuiyun Lane with his left hand. He saw more than ten armored men approaching silently, as if they were going to surround and kill Chen Ji. .

Chen Ji's thoughts changed rapidly, and his eyes wandered through the crowd.

The next moment, he walked into the crowd holding a spear, grabbed Chen Wenxiao by his collar, and slipped him out.

Chen Wenxiao changed into the clothes of a servant, struggled and said in horror: "What are you doing? I'm just a servant of the Chen family. Why are you arresting me?" Chen Ji said coldly: "You are not from the Chen family. Servant."

Chen Wenxiao's face turned ashen, and his body began to tremble like chaff. He managed to stand still only by Chen Ji's support.

Chen Wenzong glared at him and reprimanded: "Stand up straight! You and I are the 31st-year-old minister of Jianing. How can we be intimidated by Xiao Xiao? The face of the Chen family and the face of the imperial court are both incomparable. You've lost everything!"

Chen Ji turned back to the tiger-faced warrior and said, "Sir, I recognize this man. He is the second son of the Chen family, Chen Wenxiao."

The tiger-faced armored man paused and slowly relaxed his hand holding the spear: "Very good, I'll mark your merits. By the way, you..." Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden click from outside the alley. The sound of horse hooves.

The black-armored warrior heard the sound and went away, only to see at the end of the alley, someone wearing a green coat and riding a horse, like a poet coming on the snow, rising up. When the black-armored warrior saw him, they all clasped their fists and saluted: "Mr. Feng!"

Chen Ji's heart trembled.

Mr. Feng held a small hand-warming copper stove in his hand and said with a smile: "The Tiger Armor Cavalry has been silent for a long time, and finally it's time to become a blockbuster. Who is in charge now, or is it General Zhou?"

The tiger-faced armored man clasped his fists and muttered: "Reporting to Mr. Feng, this is General Qian now, and General Zhou has other official duties." Mr. Feng smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Now that I have appointed you as personal guards, you are better than You should have been more careful in the past." The tiger-faced warrior quickly said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Feng."

Mr. Feng glanced at everyone and asked lightly: "Have all the family members of the Zhang family and Chen family been captured?"

The tiger-faced soldier reported: "There are only two relatives in the Chen family. Chen Liqin's wife happened to have gone to a rural farm to check accounts and was not in the Chen family." Mr. Feng nodded: "It doesn't matter, these two legitimate sons are enough. .”

The tiger-faced soldier continued to report: "Zhang Zhuo and his legitimate son were besieged in the government office. Only Miss Zhang Er was captured in the government office." Mr. Feng asked curiously: "Where is Zhang Zhuo's wife?"

The tiger-faced warrior responded: "According to the servant in the mansion, she went to Tuoluo Temple in the south of the city today to burn incense and worship Buddha, and she hasn't come back yet." Mr. Feng smiled: "It doesn't matter, Miss Zhang Er and the legitimate son are here, it's enough. Already."

At this time, Chen Wenzong raised his head and looked directly at Mr. Feng: "You secretly arrested the family members of the imperial officials. This crime will be regarded as conspiracy. If you repent at this time, although you will not escape the death penalty, you can save the lives of your family members!"

The black-armored warriors were indifferent, and their black-painted visors had no emotions or joys, just like cold sculptures.

Mr. Feng said slowly and calmly: "Master Chen, please save your energy. These tiger-armored cavalry have lost their families a long time ago. If you want to survive, you can help me persuade Mr. Chen later. As long as he is willing to go north to Qingjun with me and others." , kill the eunuchs to straighten the government, and I will protect the lives of the Chen family."

Chen Wenzong sneered: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, you and the eunuchs are just the same as the eunuchs." A tiger-faced soldier slapped him in the face: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"

Chen Wenzong was slapped so hard that he turned his face away, with blood coming from the corner of his mouth, but he turned back angrily and glared at him, refusing to avoid it.

Mr. Feng raised his eyebrows: "Don't hurt anyone, I want to bring him completely to Mr. Chen! If Mr. Chen is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, then we will be a family from now on. How can we let Chen do it because of this little thing?" Your Excellency, do you have a grudge?"

The black-armored warrior hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I have become reckless in my humble position. If I have to deal with something here, I will go and find some money for the general to receive twenty army sticks." Mr. Feng looked at Chen Wenxiao and joked: "How come the young master of the Chen family is dressed like this?"

?」

When Chen Wenxiao saw Mr. Feng, he couldn't stop shaking all over.

Mr. Feng smiled softly: "People say that dragons give birth to nine sons, each of whom is different. Mr. Chen's family is also interesting. Although the eldest son has character, he is pedantic. Although the second son is as timid as a mouse... he is as timid as a mouse.

, but it was the concubine’s traces that impressed me. By the way, who was the second son of the Chen family who found him?”

The tiger-faced soldier pointed at the traces: "Return to Mr. Feng, it's him."

Mr. Feng glanced at Chen Ji and said, "Remember this meritorious service. I will go to the Political Hall to receive the reward on my day off. Who captured Miss Zhang Er again?" The tiger-faced armored man was startled, and pointed at Chen Ji again: "Report to Mr. Feng,

It’s him too.”

"Oh?" Mr. Feng looked at the traces carefully.

After a moment, he smiled slightly: "You are a lucky general."

After saying that, he turned to the tiger-faced armored warrior and said, "Get on your horse and take the Zhang and Chen family members to Prince Jing's Mansion." Amidst the clattering sound of armor plates, the black-armored warriors mounted their horses in unison.

Mr. Feng reined in the reins and turned the horse's head, heading out to Cuiyun Lane. Chen Ji also placed Zhang Xia on the saddle and rode the horse to follow. Suddenly, Mr. Feng turned around and smiled at him and asked: "What's your name?"

?」

When everyone fell silent, the tiger-faced armored soldier who had previously questioned Chen Ji also turned to look sideways, his eyes burning.

Chen Ji held the reins tightly and replied calmly: "Reporting to Mr. Feng, my name is Zhang Yuan." The tiger-faced armored man turned his eyes back.

Mr. Feng smiled and waved: "Come forward, and you can do whatever I want from now on."...

Prince Jing's palace was brightly lit, and four high-mounted braziers were lit in front of the red lacquer gate, and the flames burned brightly.

The Elephant Battalion is dragging away the corpses of the palace guards one by one. The blood stains on Anxi Street seeped into the cracks of the bluestone road, and the blood that has begun to solidify is as sticky as paste. Prince Jing's palace is already under the control of the Liu family.

Mr. Feng dismounted in front of the door, and the entourage inside the door hurriedly came out to greet him.

He threw the copper stove in his hand to someone, and took off his cloak, revealing a blue shirt underneath: "Where is the master?" The black-clothed entourage whispered: "I am playing chess with the prince in Jing'an Palace."

Mr. Feng paused: "Where are Master Chen and Master Zhang?"

The black-clothed attendant reported back: "I have just been escorted from the government office and are being detained in Feiyun Garden with several people from Taiping Medical Center." Mr. Feng said unexpectedly: "Where is Mrs. Yun Fei? Why did she rashly occupy someone else's yard?

?It’s so unruly.”

The black-clothed attendant whispered: "Concubine Yun left the palace after Prince Jing fell ill and has not come back yet." Mr. Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If you don't disturb the master, let's go to Feiyun Garden first."

After saying that, he turned around and nodded to Chen Ji and another soldier: "Please escort Mr. Chen and Miss Zhang over here. The others can take a breath first." In the palace, rows of soldiers stood solemnly holding torches.

The group of people hurried through the murderous palace. Chen Ji looked from a distance and saw that the eight doors of Jing'an Palace were open. Prince Jing and Mr. Liu Ge were sitting opposite each other, concentrating on their chess game.

Bai Li and the Crown Prince stood aside and watched the chess game, as if today's fighting and killing had never happened.

Mr. Feng stopped and turned around, looking at him with a half-smile: "You also want to play chess?"

Chen Ji was shocked. He just turned his head slightly and was noticed by the other party: "Reporting to Mr. Feng, this is the first time I have entered Prince Jing's palace in a humble position. I am a little curious." Mr. Feng smiled and said: "Only this time, next time If you look at something you shouldn't look at, your head will fall to the ground."

Chen Ji quickly lowered his head: "I understand."
