Zhang Xingzhou realized that he had let something slip and fell silent again.

Chu Zhao lowered his head and continued to bandage him.

"Are you unable to survive elsewhere and plan to go to Yunzhou? In order to explore the way, you expelled a group of bandits to serve as your guide?"

Zhang Xingzhou looked at her in astonishment, his expression beyond shock.

Even Ah Ao on the side widened his eyes.

In the past few days, the master and Taoist Master Chengfeng have had many discussions about the bandits at Tingyung Pass, but they have never guessed what those people wanted. Why, now, it was as if their eyes were opened, and they suddenly Figured out?

"How do you know, who are you?" Zhang Xingzhou struggled to sit up, ignoring the pain of the wound.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized that the eccentric woman in front of him was not just an ordinary doctor, she wasn't even an ordinary person.

She was too calm, too smart, and had more eyes than a sieve. She didn't reveal any information at all. She could guess things very well just by guessing out of thin air.

It is impossible for an ordinary woman or an ordinary doctor to have such knowledge.

"Who are you?" he repeated. "Who are you?"

"I am just a doctor." Chu Zhao said, "My father taught me what I know. If you don't believe me, ask my father."

Zhang Xingzhou: "..."

Her father is dead, where can he go to ask?

"If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you." Zhang Xingzhou said, "Don't judge me because I am easy to fool."

"What good will killing me do to you?" Chu Zhao raised his head and glanced at him, "I am not a threat to you, and I saved your life. Not to mention that I promised you the life-saving grace. You can't repay a favor with an enemy. Bar?"

Zhang Xingzhou: "...You want me to pledge myself to you, you think so!"

Chu Zhao laughed and tied the cloth tightly with his hands.

"Hiss!" Zhang Xingzhou gasped in pain.

At this time, Cao Xuan asked outside: "Brother, the soup is ready, can I come in?"

"Come in!" Zhang Xingzhou said with pain.

The door opened, and Zhang Dahan and Cao Xuan walked in together.

The two of them frowned at the smell of blood in the room. Zhang Dahan looked at the blood on the bed and yelled: "Why is there so much blood? Oh my god, brother, can you still do it?"

"Stop howling, you won't die." Zhang Xingzhou stopped him with a white face.

Cao Xuan also glared at him and walked to the bed with the medicine: "Brother, drink the medicine!"

"Show me first." Chu Zhao took the medicine bowl, put it to his nose and smelled it.

Cao Xuan's face changed slightly, with a hint of unnoticeable nervousness.

Chu Zhao caught a glimpse of his reaction from the corner of his eye, and calmly handed the medicine bowl back to him.

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go out and wash my face and get some fresh air." Chu Zhao said, "By the way, I'll change out the bed sheets and throw them away, and then smoke the house with atractylodes."

"Okay, the hardworking young man won the prize." Cao Xuan agreed and watched her and A'ao walk out together without asking anyone to check on them.

Zhang Dahan only cared about his elder brother and didn't care about this.

Chu Zhao and Ah Ao went out and heard Zhang Xingzhou say weakly: "It's too hot. Let it dry first."

Chu Zhao hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment before pulling Aao down the steps.

"Let's go, let's take the opportunity to see where we can escape." Chu Zhao said, "If you meet anyone, just say you are looking for a hut."

"Oh." A'ao suddenly became nervous, "Will that person named Cao secretly arrange for someone to keep an eye on us?"

"Probably not." Chu Zhao said, "He is eager for us to leave."

"Why?" A'ao asked.

Chu Zhao sneered lightly: "Because he doesn't want to treat his elder brother well."

A'ao was very surprised, but also knew that now was not the time to discuss this, so he hurriedly followed Chu Zhao and left.

The houses in the cottage were poorly built and surrounded by fences. The two were planning to find a place to chase them out when they suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing all around the village. Along with the sound of horse hooves and the clash of weapons, soldiers could be seen charging vaguely outside the fence. Come.

"Senior Brother Chengfeng has brought someone here?" Chu Zhao was overjoyed and pulled Aao to climb over the wall.

When the person reached the wall, she suddenly saw a tall figure riding a horse through the gap in the fence.

Although she was far away and couldn't see the face clearly, she still recognized him at a glance. That person was Murong Xiao.

Chu Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

This dog man really has a dog nose, and he actually found his way here.

She looked in front of her and then behind her, feeling caught in a dilemma.

If you move forward, you will be caught by Murong Xiao. If you retreat, you will be caught by Zhang Xingzhou. No matter how you look at it, it will be a dead end.

During the hesitation, Murong Xiao was already approaching. Time was urgent and there was no room for looking forward or backward. Chu Zhao gritted his teeth, pulled Aao and ran back to Zhang Xingzhou's room.

"Two heads, it's not good, some officers and soldiers are coming to kill you." She rushed in and shouted in a panic.

The three people in the room had already heard the cry of killing. Zhang Xingzhou put down the medicine bowl he had just picked up, and said in a deep voice to Cao Xuan and Zhang Dahan: "Cao Xuan, go and gather the brothers to fight against the enemy. Dahan, help me quickly." Get out of bed.”

The two reacted quickly, one ran out the door and the other went to get the shoes.

After Chu Zhao waited for Cao Xuan to go out, he spoke quickly to Zhang Xingzhou: "The people coming outside are not ordinary officers and soldiers, but the soldiers and horses of Murong Xiao, the king of Jingnan. If you want to join him, let Dahan go out and report to him on your behalf now." He surrenders. He is in urgent need of talents now and will definitely accept you.

Also, your injury was not so serious. It was Cao Xuan who added ingredients to your diet and medicine that made you ill. If you believe me, you must not eat anything he gives you in the future. "

At this point, Chu Zhao stopped to take a breath, and without waiting for Zhang Xingzhou to ask questions, he immediately added: "I just found a brick beside your bed that should be the mechanism of the secret passage. For the sake of my sincerity to save you, please let me How about I escape from the secret passage and repay my kindness?"

"..." Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Dahan were stunned at the same time.

The secret passage was dug by the last group of bandits who they defeated, and it was only in the past two days that Zhang Xingzhou discovered the mechanism at the bedside.

He couldn't understand how Chu Zhao could tell.

Also, how did this woman know that it was King Jingnan who was coming from outside? How did she know that he wanted to join King Jingnan? Why did Jingnan come to Shuzhou? As a prisoner, didn’t this woman want King Jingnan to rescue her? , why are you hiding from King Jingnan?

Zhang Xingzhou was filled with questions for a while, but he didn't know where to start.

"Don't ask so many questions yet." Chu Zhao said anxiously, "If you believe me, let Dahan surrender first. If it's too late, your brothers will definitely be injured or killed."

Zhang Xingzhou stared at her twice, and finally chose to believe her. He asked Zhang Dahan to take his token and go out to surrender to King Jingnan. He also asked A'ao to move the bed, and he took out the movable brick at the head of the bed. .

With a soft "crash" sound, the floor tiles under the bed slid open, revealing a black hole. Chu Zhao pulled Ao down without hesitation.

"Thank you very much." She finally said to Zhang Xingzhou, "I respect you as a man, so I will be clear with you. King Jingnan wanted to take me as his concubine, but I didn't agree, so I ran away from the palace. If he asked To those who treat your injuries, please don’t say that I am a woman, just say that you were in a panic and did not pay attention to the doctor’s whereabouts.”

Zhang Xingzhou remained silent, watching the two people disappear at the entrance of the secret passage. He calmly filled the bricks in to close the secret passage, moved the bed back to its original position, and lay back on the bed.

The wound on the leg oozed blood again due to exertion, soaking into the white cloth that had just been wrapped.

He couldn't care less about this anymore, lying on the bed, his heart was in a state of confusion.

No wonder that woman looked extraordinary, she turned out to be the person that King Jingnan wanted.

But then he thought about it, since it was the person that King Jingnan wanted, why would he let him go? Wouldn't it be better to just capture him and present him to King Jingnan as a surrender certificate?

Damn!

Zhang Xingzhou felt regretful and punched the bed board hard, wondering if he had been given some ecstasy drug by the woman?

His fist was hit by a hard object. He was stunned for a moment. He picked it up and saw that it was the mahogany Tai Chi Talisman.

There was a row of clear tooth marks on the peach wood charm, and his mood suddenly became complicated.

Forget it, that's it!

He held the Tai Chi Talisman and thought that the woman had indeed saved him. It was not the behavior of a man to use his savior as a token of recognition.

However, the woman said that Cao Xuan secretly tampered with his diet and medicine. Is this true?

Zhang Xingzhou turned to look at the bowl of soup that he had not yet had a chance to drink.

The brothers who once lived together through life and death have now become bandits. What motive is there to harm him?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside. Zhang Dahan called him at the top of his voice before he even entered the door: "Brother, King Jingnan is here."

Zhang Xingzhou became nervous unconsciously. He had just raised his body halfway when he saw a tall, handsome, majestic and dignified man walking in with his head held high.

It's him!

Zhang Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he recognized Murong Xiao immediately as the general who led troops to intercept them in front of Tingyun Pass.

It turns out that he is King Jingnan.

It turns out that the army that suddenly appeared at Tingyunguan was the King of Jingnan who was arresting a runaway concubine.

The woman really didn't lie to him.
