Chapter 168 Fu General
"Miss Zhang Er, I dare not agree to you to save Lord Zhang."
"Huh?"
Zhang Xia was stunned, she exchanged her own safety for Chen Ji to sneak into the Tiger Armored Iron Cavalry, so that Chen Ji could have a chance to save her father, but now Chen Ji said he couldn't agree to her.
Under the night, Chen Ji cut Zhang Xia's hands and said in a low voice: "There are tens of thousands of rebels in the Liu family, and I am alone and cannot do anything to turn the tide. I can't promise what I can't do easily."
Zhang Xia lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time: "That's it, you are much more powerful than me after all, and I have no hope of saving my father by myself. Chen Ji, what I want to say next is very important, maybe it can help you: I have seen the person you killed just now, it is a tenant named Zhang Yuan in my family's farm, who has been working diligently. I guess these private soldiers of the Liu family are hidden in the market on weekdays, so they have to wear armor to avoid being recognized......"
Before he finished speaking, the armored soldier who had questioned Chen Ji before had already come to the left nearby, and he looked at Zhang Xia: "Who is this woman?"
Another armored soldier who arrived said in a low voice: "My lord, this woman is Zhang Zhuo's legitimate daughter, Zhang Xia."
Chen Ji looked up and saw that the face armor of this man called an adult was different from others, and the other people's face armor was a 'human face' that was neither happy nor sad, while this face had a 'tiger face' with angry eyes.
The tiger-faced armored soldier glanced at Zhang Xia, and then looked at Chen Ji suspiciously.
After pondering for a moment, he waved to the armored soldier beside him and said: "The mistress of the Zhang family has not been found yet, you continue to search, and I will escort Zhang Xia out with him."
The tiger-faced armored soldier said to Chen Ji: "Let's go."
Chen Ji was dressed in heavy armor and holding a spear upside down, pushing Zhang Xia to the outside of the house, and the tiger-faced armored soldier followed behind, clenching the spear in his hand and looking at him vigilantly.
Chen Ji continued to walk forward calmly, the other party should have suspected him, but he was not in a hurry to do it...... Is it because the other party is not sure of their identity and strength, so they don't dare to reveal their identity rashly?
Along the way, the originally brightly lit Zhang Mansion was already a mess, and when Zhang Xia passed by the bodies of the maids and servants in the house, he turned his face slightly sideways and couldn't bear to look at it more.
Walking out of the vermilion lacquer gate of Zhang Mansion, Cuiyun Lane was already full of Chen Mansion servants who were looking around in a hurry, but only Chen Wenzong stood tall in the crowd.
This noble young man of the Chen family was dressed in dirty clothes, and he didn't know where he lost the hairpin with a bun on his head.
The tiger-faced armored soldier behind Chen Ji clenched his spear in his right hand, and secretly beckoned to more than ten armored soldiers in Cuiyun Lane with his left hand.
I saw more than ten armored soldiers approaching silently, as if they were going to form a siege on Chen Ji.
Chen Ji's mind changed rapidly, and his eyes wandered past the crowd.
The next moment, he walked into the crowd with a spear upside down, took Chen Wenxiao's collar, and lifted the other party out.
Chen Wenxiao changed into a small piece of clothing, struggled and said in horror: "What are you doing, I am just a servant of the Chen Mansion, what are you arresting me for?"
Chen Ji said coldly: "You are not a servant of the Chen Mansion."
Chen Wenxiao's face was earthy, his body shook like chaff, and he barely stood up by Chen Ji.
Chen Wenzong glared at him and angrily scolded: "Stand up straight for me! You and I are the thirty-one years of Jingkui, how can we be intimidated by the Xiaoxiao people? The face of the Chen family and the face of the court have been lost to you!"
Chen Ji turned around and said to the tiger-faced armored soldier: "My lord, I recognize this person, he is the second son of the Chen Mansion, Chen Wenxiao."
The tiger-faced armored soldier paused, and slowly relaxed his hand holding the spear: "Very good, remember your merit. By the way, you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of hooves suddenly came from outside the alley.
The black-clad warrior heard the sound and looked over, but saw someone riding a horse at the end of the alley, dressed in a large blue cloak, like a poet who came from the snow.
When the black-clad warriors saw him, they all clenched their fists and saluted: "Mr. Feng!"
Chen Ji's heart was cold.
Mr. Feng held a small hand-warming copper stove in his hand and said with a smile: "The tiger armored iron cavalry has been silent for a long time, and finally it has come to the time of blockbuster. Who are you in charge now, or General Zhou?"
The tiger-faced armored soldier clenched his fists and said in a muffled voice: "Report back to Mr. Feng, now it is General Qian, and General Zhou has other official business."
Mr. Feng smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. The master has now appointed you as a bodyguard, but you have to be more attentive than before."
The tiger-faced armored soldier hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Feng."
Mr. Feng's eyes swept over the crowd and asked lightly: "Have the relatives of the Zhang and Chen families been caught?"
The tiger-faced armored soldier reported: "There are only two relatives in the Chen Mansion, and Chen Liqin's wife happened to go to the suburbs to settle the accounts, and she was not in the Chen Mansion."
Mr. Feng nodded: "It's okay, with these two legitimate sons, it's enough."
The tiger-faced armored soldier continued to report: "Zhang Zhuo and his legitimate son were besieged in the government office, and only Miss Zhang Er was captured in the house."
Mr. Feng asked curiously: "Where is Zhang Zhuofa's wife?"
The tiger-faced armored soldier responded: "According to the servant in the house, she went to the Tuo Luo Temple in the south of the city to burn incense and worship the Buddha today, but she has not come back yet."
Mr. Feng smiled: "It's okay, with Miss Zhang Er and that legitimate son, it's enough."
At this time, Chen Wenzong raised his head and looked directly at Mr. Feng: "You arrest the relatives of court officials without permission, this crime is regarded as treason, if you repent at this time, although the death penalty cannot be escaped, but you can save the lives of your family members!"
The black-armored warriors were indifferent, and their black lacquered armor had no joys, sorrows, or sorrows, like cold sculptures.
Mr. Feng said slowly: "The young master of the Chen family should save energy, these tiger armored iron cavalry have long lost their families. If you want to survive, help me persuade Master Chen later." As long as he is willing to go north with me to the side of the Qing king and kill the eunuchs to correct the court, I will keep the Chen family's life worry-free."
Chen Wenzong sneered: "Traitors and thieves, you and the eunuchs are just a raccoon."
A tiger-faced armored soldier slapped him in the face: "The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp!"
Chen Wenzong was slapped sideways, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he turned back angrily and glared at him, not avoiding it.
Mr. Feng raised his eyebrows: "Don't hurt anyone, I still want to bring him to Master Chen completely! If Lord Chen is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, then it will be a family from now on.
The black-armored warrior hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Yes, I am reckless, so I will go find General Qian to lead the twenty military sticks."
Mr. Feng looked at Chen Wenxiao and joked: "Why is the young master of the Chen family dressed like this?"
Chen Wenxiao saw Mr. Feng's eyes, and his whole body trembled so much that he couldn't stop.
Mr. Feng smiled lightly: "People say that dragons give birth to nine sons, each with its own differences. Lord Chen's family is also interesting, although the eldest son has a style but is pedantic, and the second son is as timid as a mouse...... But he was as timid as a mouse, but the deeds of that concubine impressed me. By the way, who found out the second son of the Chen family?"
The tiger-faced armored soldier pointed to Chen Ji: "Report back to Mr. Feng, it's him."
Mr. Feng glanced at Chen Ji: "Remember a meritorious service, go to the Political Affairs Hall to receive the reward on the day of rest...... Who caught Miss Zhang Er?"
The tiger-faced armored soldier was startled, and then pointed to Chen Ji: "Report back to Mr. Feng, it's him too."
"Oh?" Mr. Feng looked at the traces carefully.
After a while, he smiled slightly: "You are a lucky general."
After that, he turned to the tiger-faced armored soldier and said: "Get on the horse and escort the Zhang and Chen families to the Jing Wangfu."
In the sound of rubbing the armor, the black-armored warriors mounted their horses neatly.
Mr. Feng took the reins and turned the horse's head and walked outside Cuiyun Alley, while Chen Ji also put Zhang Xia in the saddle and rode the horse to the end.
Suddenly, Mr. Feng turned around and asked him with a smile: "What's your name?"
Everyone was silent, and the tiger-faced armored soldier who had questioned Chen Ji before also looked sideways, his eyes burning.
Chen Ji held the reins tightly and replied calmly: "Report back to Mr. Feng, my name is Zhang Yuan."
The tiger-faced armored soldier turned his gaze back.
Mr. Feng smiled and waved: "Come forward, and you can do things with me from now on."
……
……
Prince Jing's mansion was brightly lit, and four tall braziers were lit in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, and the flames were burning.
The Elephant Armor Battalion was dragging away the corpses of the palace guards one by one, and the blood stains on Anxi Street seeped into the gaps of the bluestone road, and the blood that began to solidify was as sticky as paste.
The Jing Wangfu is already under the control of the Liu family.
Mr. Feng dismounted in front of the door, and the entourage inside the door hurriedly came out to greet him.
He threw the copper furnace in his hand to a person, and then took off the cloak to reveal a blue shirt inside: "Where is the master?"
The black-clothed entourage whispered: "I am playing chess with the prince in Jing'an Hall."
Mr. Feng paused: "Where are Master Chen and Master Zhang?"
The black-clothed entourage replied: "I just came from the government office and am being detained in Feiyun Garden with a few people from the Taiping Medical Center."
Mr. Feng said unexpectedly: "Where is Mrs. Yunfei, why did she rashly occupy someone else's yard? It's so unruly."
The black-clothed entourage whispered: "Concubine Yun left the palace after King Jing fell ill and has not come back yet."
Mr. Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Don't disturb the master's elegant interest, let's go to Feiyun Garden first."
After that, he turned around and nodded to Chen Ji and another armored soldier: "You escort the young master of the Chen family and Miss Zhang Er, and the rest of the people will rest first."
In the palace, rows of armored soldiers stood solemnly holding torches.
The group hurriedly passed through the murderous palace, Chen Ji looked from a distance, the eight gates of the Jing'an Hall were open, and King Jing and Liu Ge Lao sat opposite each other, concentrating on playing chess.
Bai Li and the prince stood aside and watched chess, as if today's fight and killing had never happened.
Mr. Feng stopped and looked at him with a smile: "Do you want to play chess too?"
Chen Ji was shocked, he just turned his head slightly, and this was discovered by the other party: "Reporting back to Mr. Feng, this is the first time I have entered the Jing Wangfu, and I am a little curious."
Mr. Feng smiled and said: "Just this time, next time I will look at something I shouldn't see, and the head will fall to the ground."
Chen Ji hurriedly lowered his head: "I understand."
When he arrived at the gate of Feiyun Garden, Mr. Feng Lang walked into the courtyard with a smile: "Master Zhang, Master Chen, you two are waiting for me here, you are negligent. However, look, who did I bring to you?"
