"Boss Zhao, there are five of us, split into two groups, and leave the city with this girl!"
"Four of them have unfortunately died in the battle, and one is left seriously injured. Sima Tong saved him!"
When Tang Yanhai saw Zhao Muyun asking, he immediately understood the situation and reported to Zhao Muyun.
"Thank you Sima Tong for your help!" Miss Bingbing felt sad when she heard that only one of the five people including Fan Tong was left.
She was the one who resolutely went to assassinate Hou Zongmin, hoping to use his head in exchange for Zhao Muyun's promise.
She didn't know that Fan Tong and others had been secretly following and protecting her.
Until she was brought into the room by Hou Zongmin, who was quite drunk.
Fan Tong and others showed up immediately and found that Miss Bingbing was planning to attack Hou Zongmin while he was drunk.
However, Hou Zongmin, who was drunk and horny, was tricked by Bingbing again. Bingbing pulled out a hairpin and stabbed Hou Zongmin's neck, which made Hou Zongmin sober up a lot.
He touched his bleeding neck and knocked Bingbing to the ground with a punch. Just as he was about to go forward to kill Bingbing, Fan Tong and others climbed in through the window.
Five men and five swordsmen besieged Hou Zongmin.
Fortunately, Hou Zongmin had just woken up and was unarmed, so he was thrown into disarray by the fierce swordsmanship of Fan Tong and others.
Fan Tong seized the opportunity and stabbed Hou Zongmin in the vitals with a sword. The other four also took the opportunity to attack.
The five of them worked together to kill Hou Zongmin, and took Bingbing away before Zhang Hong and Lao Er's men arrived.
"Where is the injured person? Let me take a look!"
Bingbing and her helpers were able to kill Hou Zongmin, the strongest of Li Jingang's men, which showed that these helpers had extraordinary skills. Zhao Muyun was curious for a moment.
Tong Gu waved his hand and four people carried the seriously injured Fan Tong over.
With the help of the torchlight, Zhao Muyun was surprised when he saw this person, and he immediately understood a lot of things.
"Guard Fan, we haven't seen each other for half a year. I didn't expect that we would meet here!"
Zhao Muyun said softly.
"Mr. Zhao...Mr. Zhao, please remember what the young lady agreed with you. The master can't stand the heat, and I'm afraid his life is in danger in Lingnan!"
A trace of shame flashed across Fan Tong's face. Fan Nan had asked them to follow Zhao Muyun, but they felt that Zhao Muyun was actually in cahoots with Fan Nan's political enemy Pei Lun. This was something they could not accept.
For the sake of her master, the young lady visited many people in the court, but few were willing to help.
After all, Fan Nan was sentenced to exile by the emperor, so how could it be easily changed?
The Fan family fell into poverty, and the wife and daughter were supposed to go to Lingnan as well.
She stayed in the capital and met Fan Tong and others who had returned from Shuozhou.
After some communication, she learned about Zhao Muyun, a person who had a special connection with her father.
She didn't quite believe what Fan Tong said, saying that Zhao Muyun was a heartless and disloyal person.
So, after some understanding, she somehow joined Yebushou, where Wang Tiezhu was actively recruiting people.
At the beginning, she was just a peripheral personnel, but with the help of her feminine charm and the cover of the Pipa Girl, she completed the assassination of the young master of the Zhou family and the elder of Xuetangzhai.
Wang Tiezhu even promoted her to the rank of Siwei, making her the head of the Night Owl Group.
However, she did all this just to get close to Zhao Muyun and let him rescue Fan Nan.
Hearing that Fan Tong was seriously injured and still thinking about her and Fan Nan, Bingbing couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Send Guard Fan back to Shuozhou to recuperate, and let Ma Bao treat him personally!"
Zhao Muyun did not directly respond to Fan Tong's request.
But the implication was clearly agreement.
"Sima Tong, since Hou Zongmin is dead, you should act boldly and capture Xiazhou as soon as possible! After conquering it, send troops to support Wu Shangzhi in a timely manner. Cavalry has obvious advantages in long-distance raids, but stationing them at the checkpoints is a waste of talent."
"I'll have Han Zhong arrange for people to come in and reorganize the rebels in Xiazhou!"
Zhao Muyun immediately made some adjustments to the overall strategy of deploying troops in Xiazhou.
Tong Gu immediately took Zhang Hong away and arranged his siege plan.
Li Jingang, a major threat to the court, and one of his four subordinates, Hou Zongmin, who stayed in Xiazhou, were assassinated before the battle even started.
With Hou Zongmin's death, Xiazhou was half-collapsed.
If Tong Gu had acted any later, he probably wouldn't have gotten any credit at all.
Zhao Muyun also asked Tang Yanhai and the people from the scout camp to bring Master Feng and the injured Fan Tong back to Jincheng in Yanzhou.
"Miss Bingbing, your father is like a mentor to me! How can I just sit back and do nothing?"
"Pei Lun and I were nominally collaborating, but in reality, we were making a deal. If I hadn't exchanged this with him, allowing him to use his own power to protect your father, your father would have been executed and his family confiscated. It was only with Pei Lun's mediation that he was ultimately exiled to Lingnan!"
Zhao Muyun let Bingbing walk beside him and told her about his grievances.
His relationship with Pei Lun was misunderstood by Fan Tong, but Zhao Muyun never explained it and kept it in his heart.
Now, after learning that Miss Bingbing was Fan Nan's daughter, Zhao Muyun had the opportunity to confide in her.
Before Bingbing could speak, Zhao Muyun continued, "At that time, I was just a squad leader, like a speck of dust in Dayin. How could I save Master Fan? Turning Master Fan's sentence from death to exile was the limit of what I could do at the time!"
"I continue to make contributions and strengthen myself, which also allows me to have a seat in the court of Dayin and have the confidence to speak before His Majesty! At that time, I will have more opportunities and chances to rescue your father from Lingnan!"
“…”
Bingbing was shocked when she heard what Zhao Muyun said.
It turned out that his father's death sentence was commuted to exile because of Zhao Muyun's efforts behind the scenes.
No wonder my father was dismissed from office, sentenced to death by the Dali Temple, executed in the autumn, and then exiled to Lingnan.
