Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

This doubt was solved when Zhao Rang was brought into the general's camp.

A table of wine and food was set up in the tent, and a girl half-lying on the camp bed with her hands bound behind her back. The girl was about the age of cardamom, with disheveled hair, big black eyes like a young deer, frightened and hateful, dark complexion, slightly protruding red lips, and her appearance It's not like the daughter of the Han family.

The girl was curled up at the foot of the bed, and when she heard someone looking intently, tears rolled down her eyes, she struggled to get up and ran towards Zhao Rang.

The Second Master Xie who was at the side smiled, stepped forward and grabbed the girl into his arms, grinning and said: "Let this thief serve you, will you be willing to eat something?"

Zhao Rang recovered from the shock, and suddenly changed his face: "General Xie, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Second Master Xie showed an inexplicable expression, and pushed the girl out, "This girl is looking for life and death, and she has to be forced to feed and drink. Even if she can be dragged to Jinling, it's no fun if she doesn't die. Come and coax her, at least you can save her life , can be regarded as making the best use of everything. Do you recognize her? Anyway, she is also a member of your palace..."

More than recognition?Zhao Rang was furious at Xiaohan for a moment, but he couldn't speak.

This girl is not his concubine Teng concubine, but his wife and sister. Because she is still young, she has never married, so she still lives with the elder sister and queen in the palace.The girl is lively and cheerful, with a warm heart, and everyone in the palace loves her very much. Zhao Rang has always regarded her as his own sister. He never thought that his love was like a palm in the past, but now he is trampled into dust.

Seeing Zhao Rang's complexion, he remained silent for a while, Xie Erye burst into flames, shouted back several accompanying soldiers, threw the girl to the ground, drew his knife and stepped forward to hold Zhao Rang's throat: "Hey! Don't think that Er Ye I dare not hurt you! You will die in Jinling, why not let the second master send you back here!"

The girl Fuqi wept unceasingly, Zhao Rang was heartbroken when he heard it, but his expression calmed down: "General Xie, on the day of surrender, the Taifu has promised Zhao on behalf of the emperor that the palace will be safe. This woman is Zhao's wife." Younger sister, young and weak, I ask the general to hold her high and let her go back to her parents and sisters."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Rang suddenly felt that his body was being pulled by force, and his neck felt cold. Before he could stop, he saw Erye Xie's grinning grin.

Second Master Xie lifted the saber upside down, turned to grab the girl lying on the ground, and pulled it to the edge of the table. The tip of the knife picked up a piece of meat from the dish, handed it to the girl's mouth, and said with a malicious smile: "Man, Er Grandpa brought it to you. If you don’t eat it, Second Master will kill him!”

The girl sobbed uncontrollably, her lips trembled violently, her white teeth opened slightly, and she was about to obey.

Zhao Rang let out a muffled snort. He knew that Master Xie would be so domineering and defiant on weekdays. At this moment, it was undoubtedly wishful thinking to hope that the imperial power far away in Jinling would deter him. He made up his mind as soon as he thought about it. His hand was like lightning, and he clasped the wrist of Xie Erye holding the knife. The other party obviously didn't expect him to do this, and turned around in astonishment. neck.

Xie Erye was restrained, but he was not completely powerless after all, the saber stabbed at him with a backhand, he dodged and dodged, pressing his arms with all his strength, Xie Erye struggled to break free, and after a while his body convulsed violently, and there was no more movement .

Zhao Rang's forehead was covered with sweat, he let go, and let Second Master Xie collapse on the ground, turned to look at the girl, sighed softly: "If you don't kill him, you won't be able to escape far."

The girl stopped crying, and tremblingly said: "It's my fault, I wanted to get back the jade bracelet I forgot, so I sneaked back to the palace, but..."

Making a silent gesture, Zhao Rang grabbed the saber, sat on the ground, put the saber blade up between his feet, raised his hands above his head, and smashed it down hard, the iron chain on the shackles snapped.

He picked up the saber and saw that it was intact, so he cut off the shackles from the middle, held the knife in his hand, and cut off the ropes that bound the girl, then walked to the entrance of the tent and asked loudly: "Who is on duty outside the tent? "

The guards never expected that the person who asked the question was actually Zhao Rang, so he replied honestly: "Back to the general, Liao team of the mighty team is guarding the main camp here under the first fire."

"Are all the brothers of Yihuo here?" Zhao Rang couldn't help being surprised.

In the military system of Eastern Chu, twelve guards commanded each mansion, and there was a regiment under the mansion, and the regiment was divided into teams, each team had 50 people, and ten people became a fire.If there were ten soldiers guarding outside, it would be a bit tricky. Fortunately, the guard did not suspect him, and said: "Return to the general, no. The two subordinates are on duty. Does the general need to send more people?"

Zhao Rang said: "You all come in."

The curtain was lifted, and two soldiers entered one by one. When they saw Second Master Xie who was lying on the ground, they were shocked, they both drew their knives, and turned around to chop.Zhao Rang, who had been prepared for a long time, could not allow them to make a move. The sword in his hand passed by, and the two soldiers fell to the ground before they could cry out.

Looking at the two dead soldiers, Zhao Rang couldn't help sighing. He was also a warrior of Eastern Chu, but he failed to die on the battlefield with dignity and died for the country, but died in the mischief of the general.

He dropped the knife, bent down and groped for a while on Xie's body, but found nothing of value, only an identity badge.On the other hand, there were some pieces of silver on the two soldiers. Zhao Rang took out all of them, and stuffed them into the girl's hand with his waist badge, saying: "You put it away first, and I will find you a horse. You and the soldier changed your clothes... ...Although it doesn't fit, I can't control that much, hurry up!"

The girl had stopped her tears at this time, and nodded after listening to his instructions.

Zhao Rang extinguished all the lights in the camp, and stepped out, only to see the bright moon hanging in the west, and the military camp was silent, so he hurried back to the carriage where he was escorted by night.

Perhaps the soldiers in charge saw the prisoner being taken away, and looked at the empty carriage for no reason, and there was no one on duty near the carriage.Zhao Rang secretly thought that by chance, he quickly untied a horse and hurried to the main general's tent.

The horses are there, but there are no reins, saddles, bridles, stirrups, etc. Time is running out, and it is too late to find them all.

Zhao Rang thought to himself that the girl had climbed high and low in the forest since she was a child, and she was as light as a swallow, and she also learned to ride a horse, and the horse is a well-trained war horse. Put the girl who had changed her clothes on the back of the horse, make her lean forward, wrap her arms around the horse's neck, and said softly: "After a while, when you hear the noise in the camp, run in the opposite direction when the sound comes. Turn around and run as far as you can. Wait until after sunrise to find out the direction, and just go all the way south. Remember, don’t follow the official path, just use the hunting and hunting skills you have learned since childhood.”

The girl nodded nervously, seeing that he was about to leave, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Wang! Brother Zhao, won't you go back with me? Sister..."

Zhao Rang turned around, signaled the girl to be silent, smiled at her, ran quickly, returned to the carriage, untied another horse, took a long breath, sank his dantian, and suddenly shook the sky: "The traitor is about to escape! Come on!"

This sound woke up the entire silent barracks, and there was an immediate uproar from all directions.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhao Rang jumped on his horse, clamped his legs, and galloped towards the opposite side of the general's camp.

At first, I could only hear the hooves of the galloping horses under my feet. After a while, the hooves of the horses behind me became more and more chaotic. I don't know how many flying horses were chasing Zhao Rang.

Zhao Rang, who had no harness, was extremely difficult to keep his balance on the galloping horse, not to mention manipulating the direction. The horse galloped wildly, and when he saw it, he left the barracks, and a forest appeared not far away. He was shocked, but he couldn't turn the horse's head, so he could only let the horse gallop.

The sound of shouting and killing from the rear was already loud, and as expected, seeing that he was about to enter the forest with his men and horses, the pursuers were in a hurry, and they all took their bows and fired arrows. Rang had no choice but to press his upper body completely on the horse's back, knowing that he would not be able to escape very far in such a situation.

Just thinking about this, he suddenly felt the horse's body shake violently, and he stumbled and fell down. Zhao Rang was too late to stop, and flew forward a few feet. Greeting to him, the long hook plunged into the flesh, and he was immediately trapped tightly, unable to move.

Another soldier came forward and tied Zhao Rang tightly from hands to feet, then removed the hook and pulled him up.

At this time, Zhao Rang was already covered in blood, dripping profusely, and was pushed in front of another general, who was about thirty years old, with a thick beard, thick and almost faceless, but he couldn't stop the raging copper bell and big eyes Furious, he yelled at Zhao Rang like a burst: "□□You little traitor, you don't eat a toast or fine wine! Let's see how grandpa punishes you! Drag it back!"

The words were harsh, and when they returned to the barracks, the crowd still didn't torture Zhao Rang, and directly threw him back into the carriage tied up.Zhao Rang was unbearably thirsty. Fortunately, his body was covered with flesh injuries. Although the pain was severe, it did not hurt his muscles and bones, and he still kept his hands measured.He was worried in his heart, wondering if the wife and sister had escaped from birth, so they were tossed until dawn.

Usually the army would set off at sunrise, but today there was no movement.

Zhao Rang knew that the murder must have happened in the main tent, but since the matter was too big and the main general was absent, no one had the guts to investigate and deal with it.

When Jinling arrived here, the courier was expedited, and Liangju traveled thousands of miles a day, and it took about half a day to arrive.As expected, the general will rush back tonight to deal with the matter—but Zhao Rang can't help but wonder how the emperor will deal with him, a traitor who is still lawless during the escort and is a fifth-rank military officer with his hands?

Death to death?

No one delivered food or water that day. At midnight, Zhao Rang was already dizzy and drowsy, but when he heard the sound of the car door being unlocked, he still jolted violently and woke up a little.

He was pulled out of the carriage and carried all the way to the general's tent. The lights in the tent were bright and dazzling. Before Zhao Rang could see, someone pushed him on the back and pulled him from side to side, and Zhao Rang pressed him down. kneel.

Just as he was about to raise his head, the back of his head was pinned down by several pairs of strong hands. He had to lower his head, and with a wry smile to himself, he stopped fighting in vain and relaxed his strength.

A young man's voice came from above, clear and pleasant, neither angry nor angry, calm: "Zhao Rang, did you kill Vice General Xie?"

Zhao Rang lowered his head and replied: "Exactly. There are also two soldiers of the first fire under the mighty Liao team."

The male voice paused, and then asked, "Why?"

With a snort, Zhao Rang said in a deep voice: "If you are General Cao, General Cao, you can explain; if not, please come here. It is about military affairs, and Zhao does not want to talk too much about those who can do nothing."

The male voice laughed: "Zhao Rang! How dare you be so presumptuous? Do you know the origin of the person you killed?"

"Zhao is only willing to answer General Cao's questions. You are General Cao, so just reveal your identity, and Zhao will recruit you from the truth."

There were voices of scolding from both sides at the same time, Zhao Rang remained motionless and still bowed his head, but he refused to speak again no matter how much he was asked and scolded by his surroundings.

"That's enough." The male voice still sounded like Fubo Gujing, "Zhao Rang, please raise your head."

Zhao Rang Yiling looked up and saw a young man with a weak crown sitting on the golden chair in the middle. The young man wore a pointed martial law on his head, decorated with colorful jade on his head, and wore a red leather armor. Like a goose egg, the eyebrows are thin but thick, the tail is like the blade of a sword, and a pair of beautiful red and phoenix eyes, not angry but powerful.

The young man met Zhao Rang's eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and he smiled slightly: "I can hear your explanation? Cao Lin, you lead the army outside, and in the army, you should only hear the general's order, not the emperor's edict." ’, can you just tolerate this time and allow me to overstep once?”

I!Zhao Rang didn't notice Cao Lin's response at all, staring at the emperor blankly, his thoughts turned sharply, and he was full of doubts:

Why did the emperor of Jinling come here overnight?
