Twilight Cloud Returns

Zhao Darong was still arguing: "Is it necessary to get your little father-in-law's permission to visit Yangzhou?"

Yun Chuxiu saw that he was eloquent, so he didn't make any more detours, and said: "Master Zhao just said every word related to an important case in Yangzhou, besides, Inspector Xue signed his signature and pledged it to testify, please go back to the government office."

Seeing that his master Zi Liang was about to be taken away, Zong Yuan jumped off the roof in desperation, threw his body, and went straight into it.

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black flew up from all around, and said faithfully: "My lord, the subordinates are late."

Zong Yuan and others fought with the guards of the Yun clan, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

On the opposite side are all masters belonging to the Jingzhao Mansion, and they are indistinguishable for a while.

Yun Chuxiu and Chu Mohen also joined in the melee, and the three who were caught with all their efforts, were determined not to let them escape!

When the two sides were stalemate, Wei Guoan arrived like timely rain with his soldiers.

Seeing that Xue Liandao was captured alive, he said heartbrokenly, "Father-in-law, when you decided to join forces with these disorderly officials and thieves, have you ever thought about how Tang'er will deal with herself in the future?"

As soon as his daughter was mentioned, Xue Liandao's eyes flickered, and he finally said with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Wan..."

Wei Guoan sighed regretfully and it was too late, he raised his sword to confront those traitors.

No matter how powerful the martial arts of Zong Yuan and others are, they can't stand up to the opponent's large numbers of people, and their disadvantages are gradually revealed...

Just when they were about to be subdued and Zhao Darong thought there was no hope, a man in black fell from the sky.

Xue Wanjun was tied up, with a white cloth stuffed in her mouth, and was held hostage by him.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Zong Yuan jumped up and dropped the long sword on Xue Wanjun's shoulder.

The situation on the scene changed suddenly.

"One more step forward, and she will die!" Zong Yuan threatened.

Xue Wanjun shook her head desperately, tears were all over her face.

Wei Guoan was eager to protect his wife, and immediately ordered everyone to stop.

At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Xue Wanjun being held hostage. Two men in black took the opportunity to quietly move to the rear, revealing sharp daggers, and sealed the throats of the two guards guarding Liang Cai and Zhao Dayong, killing them with one blow. The two were successfully rescued.

A gleam flashed in the eyes of Liang Cai, an old fox, and he said proudly: "Little Lord, Lord Mo, you two are still young..."

Yun Chuxiu had calculated everything, but he did not expect that he would be so cruel that he would take an innocent woman as a hostage and involve her in it.

Xue Lian said urgently: "Liang Cai, let my daughter go!"

Liang Cai chuckled and said, "Let your daughter go? Brother Xue, Mr. Liang sees that you are daydreaming! Look at the good deeds your good son-in-law has done, turning his elbows outward! Repay him in the same way! Are you satisfied?"

"Oh, that's not right," he said eccentrically, "it's not the first time you've kidnapped your daughter, so what's all the fuss about..."

"Did you forget that Jun Wan was taken captive to the Town God's Temple before the Baiguan court meeting?"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was stunned.

Yun Chuxiu remembered that he had discussed this matter with Wuqing before, and felt different at that time, but later he was busy with everything, so he didn't pursue it any further, unexpectedly he got the answer tonight.

"At that time, the emperor kept close contacts with the local officials in order to prevent Beijing officials, and strictly guarded the various post offices, and I noticed that someone was secretly visiting Brother Xue. I wanted to let Xue Wanjun send a message peacefully when she was out. , who would have thought that your daughter's strong temper almost caused a big disturbance! Zong Yuan had no choice but to take her captive outside the city."

He stared at Xue Lian and said, "Didn't Brother Xue also choose to calm down after the incident and stop showing off? Since you can use a woman once, what's the harm in using it a second time?"

Liang Cai signaled with a look, and Zong Yuan immediately pulled out the white cloth stuffed in Xue Wanjun's mouth.

Xue Wanjun couldn't believe it: "Father..."

Xue Liandao regretted it now! "Wan Jun...you listen to Daddy's explanation..."

"Enough!" Liang Cai didn't have that kind of leisurely look at the scene of father and daughter's love, and said viciously, "Xue Lian said, it's your indecisive and indecisive appearance that makes us fall into prison now!"

They took Xue Wanjun as a threat and gradually retreated.

There was a stable near the city gate. Zong Yuan led a few horses, and a group of people got on the horses and fled all the way to the Blind Mountain.

At this time, it was just dawn.

Blind Mountain was shrouded in mist, and Liang Cai and others disappeared after entering.

Wei Guoan was about to bring people in to encircle and suppress, but was stopped by Yun Chuxiu, "The terrain of Blind Mountain is complicated, and it takes a long-term plan to arrest him."

"The wife and son of the subordinate officials are in the hands of the traitors, if there is any mistake, they will die twice!" Wei Guoan subconsciously got angry at Yun Chuxiu.

For a while, everyone didn't even dare to breathe.

If Wuqing is in the hands of the enemy at this moment, Yun Chuxiu will definitely charge forward alone without hesitation, he will never let him be in danger alone again, and what happened in Liangzhou will never happen again.

He calmly analyzed the pros and cons: "Zong Yuan was able to create the illusion of Yin soldiers in Blind Mountain last time. It can be seen that he knows Blind Mountain quite well. If you are going to die, I will not stop you, but those soldiers are also As husbands and fathers, how innocent are they?"

Hearing this, the government soldiers bowed their heads suddenly - it wasn't that they didn't dare to follow Mr. Wei to arrest the traitor, but that the blind mountain was already steep, and with the thick fog, no one dared to rush forward.

Wei Guoan didn't know it, but he was in a hurry and lost his sense of control for a while.

He stared at Blind Mountain, the veins on his neck bulged, so he had to leave with the young man full of resentment.

In a cave somewhere.

Zong Yuan ordered his subordinates to gather dry firewood and light it for lighting.

Xue Wanjun sat in the dark cave, with the moisture penetrating her bones, she couldn't help shivering.Due to the jolt of the horse riding just now, my stomach feels a little swollen now.

She put her hands on it, and cheered from the bottom of her heart: "Little guy, you have to work hard, and nothing will happen. Your father will come to rescue us."

After this soul-stirring night, Zhao Darong trusted Liang Cai very much.If Mr. Liang hadn't left behind a plan to secretly arrange manpower in Xue Liandao's mansion, with Xue Wanjun as a hostage, they would have been deeply imprisoned, why is there a chance to struggle now?

Zhao Darong also showed a lot of respect towards him, lost his previous arrogance, and said politely, "Master Liang, what shall we do next?"

Liang Cai smiled wryly and said, "Young master, if the lower officials say that they didn't expect today's situation, can you believe it?"

Zhao Darong said anxiously: "My lord, this is the end of the matter, no matter what we can't fall into the hands of Yun Chuxiu and Chu Mohen!"

Liang Cai patted him on the shoulder and said: "We have already fled to Blind Mountain. The terrain of Blind Mountain is complicated. They will enter Blind Mountain to search for a while, but they will definitely deploy people around Blind Mountain. As soon as we appear, Instantly become a part of their pool."

Hearing this, Zhao Darong was immediately discouraged, and said dejectedly: "Could it be that there is nothing we can do, and we can only wait here to die?"

Liang Cai made an embarrassing expression, "There is a way to get down, but I just think...it's too risky..."

When Zhao Darong heard that there was still hope, he immediately straightened his body and said, "Master Liang, anyway, we are in a dead end, we might as well make a breakthrough, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Liang Cai looked around sharply, avoiding Xue Wanjun, pulled Zhao Dayong aside, and said cautiously: "Your official knows that Xiangye has been recruiting troops in recent years, with the intention of taking that position."

Rong Pingju didn't fully trust Zhao Darong. The latter didn't know Rong Pingju's real secret, and only thought that he wanted to coerce the emperor to rule the world, but he didn't expect to be so ambitious.

He immediately made a gesture of silence, "Master Liang, don't dare to say such words, it is a serious crime of treason!"

Liang Cai said solemnly: "Your official did not talk nonsense, this matter will be handled by the lower official himself for the prime minister, and the military talisman that commands thousands of troops is in your hands."

Liang Cai took out a token made of gold from his cuff and handed it to Zhao Darong.

"My lord, have you ever thought that even if we stick to Blind Mountain, Xue Liandao has already confessed our affairs. Based on that confession alone, we are doomed. As long as Lord Mo submits it to the Holy One, then the Rong family, including Xiang Lord, it's over."

"The lower officials have carefully calculated that there are only [-] soldiers in the Yangzhou government, and we have [-] people. We have already marched to the barren hills [-] miles away from Yangzhou, waiting for orders."

Liang Cai lowered his voice, but it contained a tragic meaning, "Whether you want to survive the desperate situation, guide the country, the decision is entirely in your hands!"

Zhao Darong looked at the soldier talisman, and remembered that since he planned to kill Rong Changkun with poison, he had been determined to go all the way to the dark, and he would never give up until he sat in an extremely honorable position.

It was not easy for him to achieve the prominent position he is today. His uncle is getting old, and he will go west of Hexi in a few years. Seeing that the huge Rong family is about to become his, but at this juncture, something happened in Yangzhou!

Zhao Darong gripped the soldier talisman tightly, his eyes gradually blurred with sternness, he said in a low voice: "Anyway, it's an opposite! Either way, you're dead, it's better to take that position with all your might!"

He summoned Zong Yuan and ordered him to rush to the station with a soldier talisman.He wants to use the Blind Mountain as his base, catch him by surprise, capture Yangzhou, and make himself king!

Zhao Darong was overwhelmed with gratitude to Liang Cai, cupped his hands and said: "If Darong really has a day when he will become a success, I will never forget Master Liang's kindness in pointing us today!"

Liang Cai didn't expect him to make such a decision so soon, so he saved his tongue and pretended to persuade him: "My lord, you should know that if this rebellion fails, you and the Rong family will never have the possibility to stand up. It will also be recorded in the annals of history, and will be charged with the crime of rebellious officials and thieves, and will be notorious..."

Zhao Darong said insidiously: "Even Rong Changkun was killed by me, so what's the point of fame?"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Liang Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next three days, both sides made careful plans.

Yunying reported: "Young master, the spies found that there seems to be a change in the vicinity of Yangzhou. A large army is gradually approaching the Big Blind Mountain...the number is about [-]. They are some low-level shrimp soldiers and crab generals, vulnerable to a single blow."

Yun Chuxiu and Chu Mohen looked at each other, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that they want to rebel?"

Chu Mohen thought about it: "It's not impossible. We have pushed him into a desperate situation, so we might as well sit on the ground and fight back, and we can still fight for the supreme imperial power."

Yun Chuxiu made a prompt decision, "Order Wei Guoan to encircle and suppress Big Blind Mountain with all our strength."
