The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

Inside the Jin Army Camp

Li Cunxiao sat by the campfire, eating barbecue with a roasted pig in the middle and drinking wine. He didn't care about the atmosphere around him at all and ate comfortably.

(People in the Tang Dynasty ate pork and barbecued pork. There is a line in the Complete Tang Poems that says "steamed pork with garlic sauce". There is also a record of steamed pork shoulder in the Tang Dynasty's Tail-burning Banquet. Even if you don't eat it, they do the same in the anime, so don't mind.)

However, Li Cunzhong next to him and Zhang Zifan opposite him did not have the leisure to do so.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Zhang Zifan brought four girls here to ask Li Cunzhong for help in order to rescue Li Xingyun.

However, Li Cunzhong did not go to see him immediately at the beginning, but first arranged Zhang Zifan in the tent, and he and Li Cunxiao cleared out the Liang army in Luzhou City before coming.

What was surprising was that Ji Ruxue was among the four women brought by Zhang Zifan, but the four of them were waiting at the door of the tent and did not come in.

At this time, Li Cunzhong did not immediately agree to Zhang Zifan's proposal. He looked at Li Cunxiao who was eating and drinking, and then sighed to Zhang Zifan:

"Nephew, it's not that we don't want to save Li Xingyun, we just can't leave here."

Zhang Zifan was anxious and puzzled, and asked:

"Why? Second uncle asked the two uncles to stay and eliminate the remnants of the Liang army, but now the Liang army has been completely wiped out.

My second uncle is also planning to lead his troops to chase Zhu Youzhen tomorrow. This is a great opportunity. Why can't we go?"

Li Cunzhong spoke in a hoarse voice and slowly explained to Zhang Zifan:

"Alas, my dear nephew, you don't know.

This time, my second brother had actually returned to Luzhou with us with reinforcements, but he was just waiting for the opportunity outside the city and did not return to the city immediately.

It was not until he saw a rocket in the city disrupting the Liang army's deployment that he ordered the encirclement and suppression of Zhu Youzhen.

I heard from the people in the city that the Chongtianhao was built by your sixth uncle Li Cunli, but how is that possible?

Your sixth uncle is in Fengzhou now, so why would he come here? So now we don’t know what the purpose of that person’s trip is.

And now Zhu Youzhen is fleeing in panic, and the second brother is pursuing him. In addition to what he said today, he seems to be planning to take down the State of Liang in one fell swoop.

You also know that we have to inform your adoptive father about these things."

After hearing what Li Cunzhong said, Zhang Zifan obviously did not expect such a mistake to happen. He knew that the Liang army had suffered a great defeat.

It was precisely because of this that Ji Ruxue gave up following Liang Jun and reunited with him. This time they came together to find out what exactly happened in Luzhou.

But he quickly figured out what happened. Li Cunzhong was afraid that the appearance of such a mysterious person would have a certain impact on his situation in Tongwenguan, so he continued to tempt him:

"Uncle Jiu, isn't this better?

You see, Li Xingyun is a rare commodity, and now he is in Zhu Youzhen's hands.

And my second uncle just happened to be planning to attack Zhu Youzhen, although we don’t know what the significance of the mysterious man doing this is.

But this incident in Luzhou also shows that this person is an enemy of Daliang.

That is a great opportunity for us to take back Li Xingyun. As long as we can get Li Xingyun, the balance of victory will be in our favor. Then you will have made a great contribution in front of my adoptive father."

After saying this, he leaned closer to Li Cunzhong's ear and said in a gentle and persuasive way:

“Besides, Zhu Youzhen has been beaten in Luzhou and is fleeing in panic. It will definitely take time for him to return to Bianzhou to catch his breath. We have a great chance of rescuing Li Xingyun.

I heard that Huanyinfang has sent people to rescue Li Xingyun. If Li Xingyun is pulled into the sleeve of Li Maozhen, it will be a big trouble for us in Shanxi!"

"What? Li Maozhen is also involved?!"

Li Cunzhong was surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, it seemed true. He would be surprised if Li Maozhen didn't go with such a good opportunity.

Zhang Zifan saw that Li Cunzhong had taken the bait and was just one step away from success, so he quickly added fuel to the fire, "Uncle Jiu, you must know that wealth and honor are achieved through risk!"

Li Cunzhong was very moved by Zhang Zifan's words. After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, he finally made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll take the bet, but let's agree that after rescuing Li Xingyun, he has to go back to Taiyuan with us."

Zhang Zifan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, but I'll follow Uncle Jiu's instructions!"

They had no idea that a tall figure behind the tent had overheard everything they said.

The next day, Zhang Zifan and his party learned the details of the changes in Luzhou, and Zhang Zifan also persuaded Li Cunzhong to provide support.

However, Li Cunzhong and Li Cunxiao still had to deal with the finishing work in Luzhou and send a letter to Li Siyuan, so they could not set out immediately.

So Ji Ruxue set out alone to track the Liang army's return route.

And today she received a reply letter from Fengxiang, from which she learned that An Dongjun actually went to Luzhou alone to rescue Li Xingyun.

At this time, she also knew who the mysterious man who caused a big fuss in Luzhou was, so she hurried to Bianzhou to wait for Zhang Zifan's arrival.

Unexpectedly, he met the Black and White Impermanence on the way...

At the same time, in the temporary camp of the Liang army, Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen met.

In order to dispel the bad luck in Luzhou, celebrate the capture of Li Xingyun, and celebrate Zhu Youwen's re-assertion of the Xuanming Sect, Zhu Youzhen specially held a banquet. On the way, he met a maid in purple...

-

A few more days.

In an inn in Bianzhou City, Ji Ruxue met up with Zhang Zifan and his party who had arrived later in Bianzhou. They are now in an inn discussing a plan to rescue Li Xingyun.

"Ms. Xue'er, why are you the only one here? Where's Senior Brother?"

Zhang Zifan was very curious when he saw that Ji Ruxue was the only visitor, but since they were in Bianzhou City just now, it was not advisable for them to stay outside for too long, so he waited until they returned to the inn before asking.

Ji Ruxue also revealed a trace of sorrow, "According to the letter written by Prince Qi, when my elder brother learned that Master Zhang was captured, he guessed what Zhu Youzhen was thinking and left Fengxiang for Luzhou early.

And the one who caused a big disturbance in the Liang army in Luzhou a few days ago to save Xingyun was the eldest brother, and King Qi has no news of the eldest brother until now."

"What? Senior Brother came to Luzhou? And he went alone to save Senior Brother? If there is no news, doesn't that mean he is also injured?"

Lu Linxuan's heart tightened after hearing this. She should have thought of it earlier. How could her senior brother not react at all to the news from her senior brother?

She should have thought of it earlier that her senior brother had been silently paying attention to both of them behind the scenes.

"Most likely." Ji Ruxue said solemnly.

Zhang Zifan also felt it was a very difficult situation after hearing this. Zhu Youwen's reappearance was already a big trouble.

In the original plan, the senior brother's powerful skills played an important role in the plan, but now the senior brother is missing, so we can only think of a new way.

But at the same time, he was also very confused. Although he and his senior brother did not spend much time together, he could see that he was a thoughtful person. How could he do such a reckless thing this time?

And why would the eldest brother make a deal with his second uncle? He always felt that something was wrong.
