A pigeon fluttered into the Ye family's courtyard. Ye Wenguan untied the bamboo tube from the pigeon's feet, opened it and looked inside, but he fell silent.
Rong Zhen, who was sitting opposite him, asked, "What's the news?"
Ye Wenguan handed the note over, and his tone was a little low: "Liaochen passed away."
Rong Zhen looked at the note and asked after a long time, "You said that Master Liaochen saved me to settle the cause and effect. What's going on?"
Ye Wenguan shook his head: "I only know that your fate changed because of Liaochen. This matter became Liaochen's inner demon, so he would rather sacrifice his life to settle this matter. But Liaochen has always kept his mouth shut about what exactly happened, so I don't know much about it."
"My fate?"
"Liaochen has been a respected monk for more than 20 years. As far as I know, when the royal children are born, His Majesty sometimes asks Liaochen to calculate the birth date. Maybe Liaochen calculated it wrong at that time, Or maybe there are other reasons." Ye Wenguan sighed, "Anyway, now that people are dying, His Royal Highness the King of Chu should not be too obsessed."
Rong Zhen did not say anything else. At this moment, Lu Zheng came over with tea and snacks. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, he couldn't help but say, "Don't talk for now, eat something."
Ye Wenguan changed the topic and said, "Although I have few servants in my courtyard, they are still useful. Why do I trouble Master Lu to do these things?"
Lu Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm free anyway." He placed the snacks in front of the two of them and poured two cups of tea. However, when he saw Rong Zhen's worried look, he couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
Rong Zhen shook his head and said, "Nothing." He took the tea from Lu Zheng's hand, but did not drink it. Instead, he said to Ye Wenguan, "Thank you Mr. Ye for your help, but I'm afraid we will cause you trouble if we stay here all the time. After drinking this cup of tea, we will leave."
Ye Wenguan sipped the tea leisurely and said slowly, "It's not a problem, but it's really not safe here. The King of Wei will come tomorrow morning at the latest. 's people will find this place. Even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't say so, I would have advised you to leave. "
Lu Zheng was surprised: "So soon?"
Rong Zhen drank the tea and said to Ye Wenguan: "Mr. Ye, see you later."
Ye Wenguan smiled and said: "I also look forward to seeing you two again."
Rong Zhen and others left the Ye Family Villa. If they followed the original plan, they should go to join Su Dai's army, but at this time, the road to the northern border might have been guarded by Han Zhu and others. They were able to escape before, thanks to the Xuanjiawei, a strange army, and Master Chen who held Han Zhu back, but now they will not have such good luck again.
Nie Zhishu was injured, and his face was extremely pale because he escaped with injuries before.
Lu Zheng was a little worried, because there were tigers in front and pursuers behind, no matter where they went, they would be in danger. He glanced at Rong Zhen: "Where should we go next?"
Rong Zhen paused and said: "To Shilipo."
Everyone was shocked. Although Han Zhu and his men blocked several important roads, they could still get through if they tried hard, but why did they have to rush into the hands of the King of Wei?
Rong Zhen said again: "Our group is too conspicuous, so we will split up in a while. I will go to Shilipo first."
"Master, this move is too risky!" Nie Zhishu couldn't help but said.
Song Zhiyi rarely refuted the question immediately, but asked uncertainly: "Could it be that... the King of Wei's arsenal is in Shilipo?"
Nie Zhishu was stunned.
Rong Zhen remained calm: "Just like the Jie people before, even if he can improve the fire thunderbolt, the characteristics of that thing cannot be changed. He will never put the warehouse in the city, and outside the city, Shilipo is the best choice."
Rong Zhen never thought of escaping. Even at this time, he still wanted to attack according to the current situation. Since he left Yanjing and came to the northern border, he knew that he should never give the initiative to others at any time.
Song Zhiyi shook his head: "But this place is too close to Yanjing. Once discovered, I'm afraid..."
Rong Zhen was still indifferent: "That's why we separated. I'm going to Shilipo to find out the situation. You guys try to hide and contact Su Dai. Once I find the armory, I'll make plans."
"That's not your place to go." Song Zhiyi was tough for a while. He knew what to do first. Rong Zhen was planning to destroy that thing alone. "It's our duty as Night Owls to gather information. What's more, I didn't find any changes in the situation in Yanjing this time. This is my dereliction of duty. I should make up for my crime!"
"You have never faced this kind of thing in Northern Frontier, so I am the most suitable person to go." Rong Zhen said, "Su Dai is a vigilant person. If he finds that the situation is unclear, he will definitely force his way through. If this thing is not destroyed, I am afraid that the Northern Frontier Army will suffer heavy casualties. I can't sit idly by and watch this happen."
"I object!" Lu Zheng suddenly said, "I want to go with you."
Rong Zhen frowned: "Don't be willful."
Lu Zheng took a deep breath: "I am not willful. Although I don't know kung fu, I know how to destroy it!" When he was in Northern Xinjiang, Lu Zheng mentioned simple bombs, but later Jian Yu came to Northern Xinjiang and defeated the Jie people with great force. He didn't use the simple bombs at all. This time when he returned to Yanjing, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he brought two bottles of oil and some things to make simple bombs. He knew very well that if he could find the gunpowder depot, the simple bombs made from these two bottles of oil would be enough to destroy it.
Rong Zhen still refused: "No, this is too dangerous."
Lu Zheng became anxious: "Don't you take what you said before seriously? Since we have decided to get married, we must face the danger together!"
Everyone was stunned. Song Zhiyi looked at Rong Zhen, then at Lu Zheng, and suddenly said to Nie Zhishu next to him: "Did I hear you right! How about you pinch me... Ah! Your mother is so cruel!"
Lu Zheng blushed, but still looked at Rong Zhen firmly.
Rong Zhen sighed: "You are the third son of the Duke of Ying's Mansion. If you return to Yanjing now, the King of Wei will not do anything to you. Why bother to take risks with me?"
Lu Zheng was not to be outdone: "You know my identity. Since you did not alienate me because of this and still treated me equally, now it's my turn to make the same choice. If you agree, we will live and die together. If you refuse, I will not live alone if you die. Make your choice!"
Rong Zhen was stunned. He thought Lu Zheng was just a child. Although they had the closest relationship, in Rong Zhen's opinion, this child was clearly not fully awakened. Now hearing Lu Zheng say such a thing, Rong Zhen realized that the little squirrel living in his heart had already liked him, but he was in the game and didn't see it clearly.
The most beautiful thing in the world is that you and I love each other deeply and can confide in each other.
Rong Zhen's heart seemed to melt in hot water, which made his expression soften unconsciously. He shook his head helplessly: "Do I have any other choice? Forget it, let's go together."
Lu Zheng was smiling, and Song Zhiyi seized the opportunity to say: "Then I will also..."
Rong Zhen flatly refused: "Don't come to join in the fun, just do as I tell you."
At this moment, Nie Zhishu spoke: "Your subordinate obeys your command. I only hope that the master will put his own life first. Your subordinate will wait for the master to come back."
Song Zhiyi looked at Nie Zhishu angrily. In the past, this big man always stayed by Rong Zhen's side. Why did he change so much after being injured? Couldn't he see that Rong Zhen was determined to do things his own way?
Rong Zhen looked at Nie Zhishu with relief: "That's good."
Without waiting for Song Zhiyi to pester him again, Rong Zhen and Lu Zheng had already left.
After they left, Song Zhiyi vented all his anger on Nie Zhishu: "What are you thinking? Do you know how dangerous this is? There are only two of them, and Young Master Lu doesn't know martial arts yet. What if..."
Nie Zhishu's expression remained unchanged: "The master has made a decision. When have you ever seen him change it? Rather than trying to change his decision, it's better to act first and then report."
Song Zhiyi was shocked: "You mean... "
Nie Zhishu suddenly smiled: "I will catch up with the master later. As for you, just listen to him and find a way to contact General Su!"
Song Zhiyi was immediately angry: "What do you mean! Are you trying to be a hero here? Am I a coward with the surname Song?"
Nie Zhishu took a step forward and hugged Song Zhiyi tightly. Song Zhiyi was immediately dumbfounded, his mind was a mess, and he forgot what he wanted to say.
"Although I always dislike you, you, Song Zhiyi, have always been my brother, Nie Zhishu. It's just that my life was given by my master. I swore to Changshengtian that I would protect him with my life. If...if I can come back alive, we will go drinking and gambling together again, and I will accompany you to see the most beautiful girl in Jiangnan, okay?"
Song Zhiyi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were already blurred, if he hadn't cared about Nie Zhishu's injury, he would have punched him directly. What the hell did he know! He clearly...clearly...
Nie Zhishu let out a long breath, and finally patted Song Zhiyi on the back lightly, then turned around and mounted his horse neatly, chasing in the direction of Rong Zhen and the others.
Song Zhiyi stood there for a long time, and finally wiped the tears from his face fiercely, and shouted to the remaining guards: "What are you still standing there for? Follow me!"
