My years as a soldier

To Hu Jiuzhang's surprise, there was no one guarding the door of the meditation room where King Su was imprisoned.

He and Yan Zhaozhong looked at each other, and then Yan Zhaozhong pushed open the door of the meditation room.

An elder in the room was sitting upright, with sharp eyes, and in front of the table on one side, there was a person sitting, that person was dressed in white, with a slender figure, and a morbid paleness on his face.Needless to say, that was Li Muyun.

The two eyes met.

When he saw Hu Jiuzhang, Li Muyun's eyes sparkled, and he was obviously very excited. He seemed to open his mouth to say something, but because he was too urgent, he coughed for no reason.

When Hu Jiuzhang saw him coughing, his heart tightened.He was afraid that Li Muyun's illness would get worse, so he didn't care about King Su who was sitting upright at the top, and hurriedly walked in front of Li Muyun on crutches, raised his hand to caress his back, his face was full of worry.

At this time Yan Zhaozhong had rushed to the side hall, leaving only Hu Jiuzhang in the room.Li Muyun watched his father's expression towards Hu Jiuzhang change from wariness to suspicion, and from doubt to dissatisfaction.He held Lao Hu's hand and shook his head at him, expressing that he was fine.

"Mu Yun, who is this?"

"He... Hey, Jiuzhang, you've seen your father soon!"

Li Muyun quickly opened his mouth as soon as he suppressed his cough.But as soon as he said this, his face couldn't stop turning red.

Hu Jiuzhang was shocked by what he said, he didn't know what kind of etiquette he was going to show when he saw the prince of this dynasty, so he lowered his head in embarrassment, walked in front of King Su in a hurry, and broke two pieces of wood with his cane The calf was made, and he knelt down with a plop, and his knee hit the ground with a loud noise.

"See... see His Royal Highness King Su."

Hu Jiuzhang's series of movements made Li Muyun's eyes straight.

"Hey, Jiuzhang, I didn't ask you to kneel... You should tell your father, what's going on outside?"

He kowtowed this, but Li Muyun's heart ached.Even if he is not feeling well, he has to get up and go to help him.

"At a time like this, you don't have to stick to these etiquettes. Besides, your legs are inconvenient, eh...does it hurt, really..."

He whispered close to Hu Jiuzhang's ear, and the hot breath from his mouth hit Hu Jiuzhang's neck, which made Hu Jiuzhang relax slowly.

The two supported each other, and Hu Jiuzhang used crutches to support him, finally stood up again, with a blushing face, and with Li Muyun's support, he talked about the current situation in front of King Su in embarrassment.

"...Now this Chengshan Temple is completely surrounded by people from Goguryeo, so there is not much time left for our side." Hu Jiuzhang considered his words.

Looking at the sharp-eyed man in front of him, he was indescribably nervous.Mostly because of the identity of the other party's prince, but more, he still cared that this person was Li Muyun's father, so that every time he said a few words, he had to look at Li Muyun.

"His Royal Highness Su, the situation is probably like this, but don't worry, the villain will definitely rescue you and the prince."

"You have a heart."

Li Cong sighed lightly.Hu Jiuzhang spoke solemnly, but Su Wang himself seemed not very interested in leaving here.

"Your name is Hu Jiuzhang?"

"Yes."

"I see that you also have injuries on your legs. It was already difficult for you to walk, but now you don't need to take risks. Before you came, I had already told Gao Lingcen that all he wanted was me. And what you have to do now is to take good care of Mu Yun after this, and escort him back to Beijing."

Li Cong's tone was calm, he might have thought of such a rhetoric long ago, so that Hu Jiuzhang even suspected that the old man didn't listen to what he said just now.

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help frowning, he just felt that King Su in front of him was really different from what he imagined.

But before he asked a question, Li Muyun couldn't hold back anymore.

"Father, Jiuzhang came here in danger just to rescue us, and there are friends from the Yan family outside who are willing to help, there is still room for turning things around, why are you bothering?"

Li Muyun couldn't help raising his voice, so that his body trembled slightly, and his face became paler.King Su looked at his son, but shook his head helplessly.

"Hey...Mu Yun, you don't know what's going on here. Those things in the past can't be counted if you turn over old accounts. But I know that now that he has found this kind of opportunity, he won't let me go easily Otherwise, you would not take the risk of making such a deal with the rebels. Mu Yun, after you return to the court, you must present my letter to the emperor. If the emperor is willing to remember the old relationship, don't blame me for the past Those old things in Lushan will definitely send people to investigate this matter, and Gao Lingcen will not be in a better place in the future. Tat for tat, and now I can keep you and Zhao Shuo back, God treats me kindly .”

King Su was very moved.

Obviously, he knew why those Goguryeo people wanted to trouble him, but he still refused to explain the matter clearly.

Hearing what he said, Hu Jiuzhang frowned. If it wasn't for Li Muyun's face, he would never want to sacrifice his life for such a prince.

What's more, this person used to be Zhang Si's master. Thinking of this episode, Hu Jiuzhang's respect for King Su was all washed away.

Hu Jiuzhang stood silently at the side, but Li Muyun still couldn't calm down. He grew up so much, and it was only after he got here that he finally heard a sentence from his father that he really cared about him. How could he just let it go like this? The father was handed over to the enemy.

His body was still trembling slightly, and he looked at Hu Jiuzhang in shock.

"Could it be that father would rather suffer in the hands of the Gao family than take a chance here and return to Beijing together in the future?"

he asked sharply.

"Hey...Mu Yun!"

Li Cong was afraid that he had never seen his youngest son show such an attitude towards him, so he sighed while being surprised.

"You don't understand what's going on here! The man surnamed Gao didn't just want to buy a prince from the Tang Dynasty to go back. He wanted me to die! Heh... When things come to an end, I'm not afraid to tell you. Muyun, your father and I , although I dare to guarantee my loyalty to Datang, I have never been a gentleman. Now that I have ended up in this situation, it is my own fault, reincarnation karma. You don’t have to bring your friends here to work hard. Now the Central Plains rebellion It hasn't subsided yet. If you and Zhao Shuo want to return to Chang'an safely, you will definitely need someone to accompany you. Besides, Gao Lingcen has already promised to let you go back. He is betting that the court will not dare to go to the Central Plains when the chaos in the Central Plains has not subsided. Then divide the troops to govern the various tribes in Anton. You just listen to me. If you can leave, hurry up and find your second brother. Otherwise, if the surname Gao is pushed into a hurry, I really can’t imagine that he can do anything. whats the matter!"

To Hu Jiuzhang, these few sentences are very reasonable.

It might be cruel and selfish to say this, but Li Muyun was the only one he wanted to save from the beginning to the end.

It's just that Li Muyun still refused to give up and wanted to say something more. Unexpectedly, at this time, the door of the Zen room was kicked open from the outside, and the person who came was a fully armed Tang army officer!

The man opened his eyes wide with anger, as if he was already extremely angry.

Su Wang Li Cong stood up suddenly, pulled Li Muyun behind him, and immediately called out the person's name.

"Dong Junsheng! Gao Lingcen has already said that as long as I am alone, don't hurt me."

"Hmph! I'm here to catch you!"

Dong Junsheng didn't know what stimulated him, but he had a fierce look on his face.Perhaps he didn't expect that there were three people in the room. He scanned Hu Jiuzhang with his eyes wide open, and when he saw the saber at his waist, he instantly showed killing intent.

"His grandma's, who are you!"

Dong Junsheng yelled and cursed, and drew the horizontal knife from his waist.When Hu Jiuzhang saw that the visitor was not friendly, he also drew his sword and blocked the way between the father and son and the leader of the rebel army.

"Old Hu, be careful!"

Although Li Muyun was protected by his father, his eyes were all on Hu Jiuzhang.

I saw that Hu Jiuzhang was holding a knife in one hand and leaning on a stick in the other. His posture was well set, but Dong Junsheng had a round waist and a strong body. He was two bigger than him in size alone, and he was blessed with armor.Standing in front of Hu Jiuzhang, it was as if a huge wall was lying there.

Dong Junsheng didn't pay attention to Hu Jiuzhang at all, he swung his horizontal knife and aimed at Hu Jiuzhang's head with a killing move, without any intention of leaving him a way out.Hu Jiuzhang reacted rather quickly, and greeted him with a knife in one hand.

But how could the strength of his hand be able to withstand a head blow from this big man.The moment the blades of the two met, there was a clang, and Hu Jiuzhang hurriedly dropped the crutch and supported it with the strength of both hands, and in an instant pushed back the horizontal knife that had been cut at the head.But his throwing and throwing movements were still a little slow, so that the moment Dong Junsheng's blade was blocked, blood splashed out from the top of Hu Jiuzhang's head, flowing down his forehead and flowing between his eyebrows.

There was a shallow knife wound on his scalp, not deep, and the pain was negligible.It's just that he lost his crutches, and there was nothing around him to support him. The impact made him fall backwards, and the blood that just flowed from the top of his head also splashed on the ground.

He sat down with a bang.Although it is a disadvantage, he is also ready to meet Dong Junsheng's second strike.In other words, sitting on the ground like this is more beneficial to him.

It's just that he could still hold his breath, but Li Muyun who was standing behind couldn't hold his breath anymore.

When he saw Hu Jiuzhang bleeding, his expression changed instantly.At this time, I don't know where the strength came from, and I rushed out from behind my father, rushed to Hu Jiuzhang, knelt down on the ground and protected him in his arms.

This scared Hu Jiuzhang enough, but fortunately, Dong Junsheng didn't swing his knife at Li Muyun, but just sneered disdainfully.

"Hmph... good boy, the son of the world is willing to come out to block the knife for you, who are you?"

Dong Junsheng didn't take another step forward, but he didn't stop there either.

"All I want is King Su. Whoever dares to stop me will die even the king of heaven!"

He shouted sharply, and then swung his knife at Li Muyun.

"Boy, I don't want to kill you, but you don't want to get in my way anymore."

He threatened fiercely, Li Muyun turned his head and glared at him, while Hu Jiuzhang had already wrapped his arms around Li Muyun's body, protecting him behind his blade.

"Huh... Li Cong, if you are sensible, you can come out by yourself and let a cripple stand here as a guard. Are you looking down on me, or yourself?"

Dong Junsheng's gaze turned to King Su.

From the beginning to the end, I am afraid that he is the only one who most wants to make this deal come true.

Li Muyun's face was blue and purple, and his head was covered with a thin layer of sweat. Obviously he had tried his best, and he wanted to call his father again, but Hu Jiuzhang held his arms tightly in his arms, unable to get up.

"Just a traitor, stop talking nonsense here."

At this time, King Su has recovered his majesty as a superior.With a stern face, he walked towards Dong Junsheng calmly, with his hands behind his back and his waist straight.

"Come on, don't embarrass my son."

"Hmph, do you think I want to bring your royal family with me?"

Dong Junsheng complained.Seeing Su Wang coming out honestly, most of the fierceness on his body disappeared.

Dong Junsheng turned around and escorted King Su out of the house. Li Muyun called his father a few times, but Li Cong never looked back. He struggled to get up, but he knew that he was tightly surrounded by Hu Jiuzhang again, and he couldn't exert any strength. .

Watching his father's figure disappear by the door, Li Muyun's eyes were filled with tears, Hu Jiuzhang watched, but only hugged Li Muyun even tighter in his arms.

"Sorry……"

He whispered in Li Muyun's ear.

"But I can't let you go. Sorry..."
