Chapter 574: Escape from Zhang's Mansion

On the one hand, he went to various famous families in Soochow to publicize, and held banquets constantly, trying to win over their power.

In the past few months, he has secretly recruited a force that is not weak.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yi suddenly felt very sleepy, and his eyelids couldn't stop closing. He finally thought about the power in his hands, closed his eyes contentedly, and fell asleep.

Outside the window, a few drops of dew dripping from the lush flowers and trees in the courtyard, as if something had disturbed the dormant plants.

The guards who were guarding in the dark outside the house were suddenly strangled by a pair of hands from behind, and they collapsed before they could struggle.

A few sinful bamboo tubes pierced the window paper and reached into the window, and the person outside the door blew lightly, and the smoke that emitted a strange smell dispersed into Zhang Yi's bedroom.

He probably won't wake up until tomorrow afternoon.

"Madam, don't you rest so late?"

Zhiying knew in her heart that they were weak this time, and she had long since ignored the three-seven-twenty-one, and as soon as it got dark, she climbed into bed early to rest.

At this time, I woke up in the middle of the night, but I saw Ruan Di still sitting under the lamp, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I can't sleep. Zhiying, I always feel that we will not die in Soochow like this. ”

Ruan Di looked at Zhiying's sleeping face and said seriously.

"Will anyone come to our rescue?" I don't know why, although she always thought it was an impossible miracle before, but when Ruan Di said it, Zhiying suddenly had some expectations in her heart.

She suddenly felt no sleepy, jumped out of bed and sat down beside Ruan Di: "Madam, who do you think will come to save us?" ”

Zhiying held her chin in her hand and began to seriously consider this possibility.

Ruan Di couldn't cry or laugh, she just had this kind of premonition, if no one came, how disappointed this little girl would be!

"Ma'am, I think it's the Broken Night that will come to our rescue. Or Xu An. ”

Zhiying blinked.

"Tell me why." Ruan Di saw that Zhiying was finally not so discouraged, so he had no intention of pouring cold water on her, and then asked her words.

"Because the commander is still waiting in Chang'an, Ruan Shangshu is still in Beijing. He wouldn't have been able to come without the emperor's order. ”

Zhiying said, suddenly a little angry, her tone was vicissitudes, and she sighed.

Ruan Di suddenly felt a little curious: "I was so happy just now, why did I suddenly sigh again?" ”

Zhiying turned her head to look at her, and a small face flickered in the light of the candlelight:

"I was thinking just now, the people who have the most contact with us on weekdays are Madame and the Commander, and the closest to Mrs. is naturally the Commander and Ruan Shangshu."

Speaking of this, Zhiying felt that her cheeks were a little hot, she was a little embarrassed, covered her face with her hands, and continued:

"But now Madame and I are trapped in Changping, and the commander and Ruan Shangshu are trapped by the world and cannot sacrifice their lives to come to the rescue. The only miracle we can think of is a few people who don't want to do it, Broken Night or Xu An. Suddenly I felt a little melancholy. ”

When Ruan Di heard her say this, she was shocked to realize that Zhiying is only seventeen years old this year, one year younger than herself!

"It's really embarrassing for her." Ruan Di was also a little sad in her heart.

"Madam, you better sleep for a while, otherwise someone will come to save us tomorrow and we won't have the energy to escape!"

The two sat quietly for a long time, and Zhiying cheered up again and persuaded Ruan Didao.

Broken Night had just walked a few meters away from the door of the two people, and suddenly saw a figure tiptoeing towards that side. At the moment, I was puzzled, so I hid in a fence and observed.

The twilight was too heavy for the broken night to see the man's clothes, but he was tall, seemingly dark-colored, with a face towel covering his mouth and nose, and he could see that he was extremely athletic when he walked.

Then the man went to the door of the room, looked around, and knocked on the door.

Broken Night's breath stagnated, and he couldn't help but get nervous, wondering if Ruan Di would open the door.

Zhiying was sitting at the table in the center of the room, thinking blankly about whether that miracle would happen; Ruan Di sat beside her, the night breeze blowing through the cracks in the window paper made the candlelight dance on her face, and she hid in a flickering light.

"Tuk tuk", there was a muffled knock on the door.

Ruan Di and Zhiying woke up suddenly.

"Who's out there?" Zhiying asked cautiously.

It sounds like a vague anticipation.

"Xu An." A bass voice came from outside.

I didn't expect it to be Xu An!

Broken Night hid in the flowers, looking at the door not far away, "squeak", but couldn't hit.

Xu An immediately understood, and touched the guard who had been put down just now in the arms of the guard, and found a key.

Xu An quickly flashed in, isolating the idea of eavesdropping on the broken night outside the house.

"What's going on? Zhang Yi or Zhang County's order? ”

Ever since Xu An sneaked into the mansion, he felt that this atmosphere was really wrong.

There were guards everywhere in the house, and it took him a lot of effort to avoid them and come to Ruan Di's door.

saw that the guard in front of the door was already lying on the ground staggered, and his heart was even more suspicious.

"Zhang Yi told me a story about a Lingbi green-eyed general, I thought about it for a few days, and it seemed that he remembered that the soldiers rebelled and monopolized Soochow."

Ruan Di said with some uncertainty.

"Humph! Just like him, he is worthy of a rebellion? I'm afraid it's just smiling and generous! ”

That Xu An seemed to look down on Zhang Yi's approach, and he was mocking when he opened his mouth. He suddenly remembered the matter of the guards outside the door, and his expression became serious again-

I'm afraid that someone has already come before him, but for some reason he didn't poison Ruan Di or Zhang Yi.

"Recently, the people who chased and killed me in Soochow are still there, and it is not easy for me to go back to the capital. But the two of you can't stay in Soochow. ”

Xu An remembered the purpose of his trip, and his face showed anxiety again.

"Zhang Yi hasn't moved yet, and it is estimated that it has been resolved. When I came to the palace before, I saw that there were guards everywhere, and it took me a lot of effort to avoid them. But just now I found out that the guards in the most critical places have been cleared, you guys go quickly! ”

After speaking, he opened the door without authorization and waved Ruan Di and the others out.

Broken Night hid in the flowers, watched the three of them swagger out of the house, and walked quickly towards the gate of Zhang's mansion.

He was curious, so he beckoned behind him, and Yan Cheng suddenly appeared beside him.

"Go, keep up with them!"

The five of them left the house in a moment.

Then Xu An sent Ruan Di and the others to the dock to take a boat. He had already arranged it before he came, and in order to prevent accidents, he hired a trustworthy charlatan to pretend to be a boatman.

As soon as Ruan Di and the others arrived, they could immediately sail.

When I arrived at the ferry, I saw that there was a boat docked at the pier.

Xu Anxin was a little relieved, and then made a move.
