Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

So two days passed, and Xiao Zuoming did not send anyone to negotiate. He wanted to wait for Xiao Zuochen to send someone to find him, so that they could catch him in the trap and weaken Xiao Zuochen's forces. But Xiao Zuochen did not know what was wrong and did not send anyone.

Xiao Zuochen also found it very strange. Xiao Zuoming had already captured the person, but he did not send anyone to negotiate. Instead, he sent 5,000 cavalry to harass them every morning, noon and evening. No one knew what he was thinking.

Fortunately, Xiao Zuoqing sent a letter back to ensure that they were safe. But in the letter, Xiao Zuoqing also mentioned that Xiao Zuoming suddenly resorted to shady tactics for some unknown reason, and he found that someone seemed to be communicating with him in secret, and that some of Xiao Zuoming's important deployments were now avoiding Xiao Zuoqing, and he seemed to have been exposed.

Xiao Zuochen clenched his hands holding the letter. Considering the frequency of his communication with Xiao Zuoqing and the current losses on the battlefield, it was impossible for Xiao Zuoming to suspect Xiao Zuoqing, unless... the spy knew that Xiao Zuoqing was his man!

But how could it be possible... All those who knew about this were his close friends.

Just as Xiao Zuochen was thinking hard, Wei Yang's voice came to his ears.

"Achen."

Xiao Zuochen looked up and saw that Wei Yang was not wearing the City Lord's Mansion at this moment. Instead, he had returned to his usual elegant attire, and the whole person looked gentler.

"Sister..."

Xiao Zuochen stood up. It had been a long time since he saw Wei Yang dressed like this. He was a little dazed for a moment.

Perhaps because he had been recuperating from his leg injury at home for the past two days and did not need to work hard outside, Wei Yang looked in good spirits.

"Is your leg better?"

Xiao Zuochen asked with concern. He had been living on the tower for the past two days, so he was not very clear about Wei Yang's situation.

Wei Yang smiled.

"Much better. Look, I can walk normally now~"

Although Wei Yang spoke very easily, Xiao Zuochen could still tell from the way she walked that she was struggling, so he quickly helped her to sit down at the table.

"If your injuries haven't healed yet, you should rest well in your house. If you develop a chronic illness, what will you do in the future?"

Xiao Zuochen complained, but Wei Yang knew he was doing it for his own good.

"Why? If I really had a disease, would you still despise me?"

Xiao Zuochen was stunned after hearing this, he looked up at Wei Yang, and found that she was joking, so he smiled too.

"No, Sister is always the most perfect."

Wei Yang smiled deeply, then restrained his expression and became serious.

"It's been two days, and there's still no news about Zuo Xin and the others? Although Xiao Zuoming hasn't touched them yet, it's not good for two women to stay in the enemy camp for too long."

Xiao Zuochen nodded. He had not considered this matter well. He thought that as long as the two of them were safe, he could delay it with Xiao Zuoming. But in fact, it was not appropriate for a woman to be alone in the enemy's camp. After a long time, even if they returned safely, people would gossip about them. After all, those who could survive in the Emperor for so long must have either betrayed the information or...

"Achen?"

Seeing that he was frowning and thinking about something, Wei Yang called him softly, and Xiao Zuochen immediately calmed down.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

"Well, sister naturally trusts you the most."

"Report!"

As the two were talking, a soldier's sonorous voice suddenly came from outside, interrupting their conversation.

"Report!"

The soldier ran in and was about to salute when Xiao Zuochen raised his hand to stop him. He also noticed that the soldier was holding a small bamboo tube in his hand.

"Just say it!"

"Your Highness Prince Yun, Lord City Lord, please look!"

The soldier presented the bamboo tube in his hand, and Xiao Zuochen opened it. The note said that Wei Changmei and Zuo Xin were in Xiao Zuoming's hands, and asked him to send someone to rescue them.

Xiao Zuochen had seen Wei Changmei's handwriting before. Although the handwriting on the note was a little crooked, it was obviously Wei Changmei's handwriting. The handwriting was crooked but not shaky. Obviously, Wei Changmei was not made difficult, but he was still forced to write a letter for help. There must be some special circumstances.

"What does the letter say?"

Wei Yang asked. Xiao Zuochen then handed the note over directly.

"We have to rescue them as soon as possible!"

Xiao Zuochen waved his hand, signaling the young soldier beside him to retreat first. The young soldier was also sensible and closed the door when he retreated.

Xiao Zuochen sat on a wooden bench nearby.

"Of course I know I have to rescue them, but the question is how to minimize the losses."

When Wei Yang heard this, he frowned.

"You can't just think about minimizing the loss. A woman's reputation and innocence are also important. Besides, your guards and Yan Luo are all skilled in martial arts. Is it difficult to rescue two people from the enemy camp?"

Wei Yang seemed to be a little impatient, as if he could see that Xiao Zuochen still needed to think about it. But Xiao Zuochen knew the importance of a woman's reputation, but he really couldn't joke with the lives of any of his men, after all, he had already lost several capable men.

"Sister, I don't want to sacrifice anyone, but I won't trade anyone's life for someone else's. As long as there is a perfect way, I will save them immediately!"

“But they really can’t wait any longer!”

Wei Yang stood up from the bed with some excitement. Xiao Zuochen was so scared that he quickly reached out to help her, but she angrily waved her hand away and turned her head away.

"Sister..."

Xiao Zuochen frowned, wanting to say something but hesitated, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister, as the city lord, you should know that I am doing this for everyone. Their lives are lives, the lives of the guards are lives, and the lives of ordinary soldiers are lives. What do you think I should choose? If Xiao Zuoming really uses this to threaten me, I will not be shaken in the slightest.

Besides, Wei Changmei is the daughter of Wei Taibao, and Zuo Xin is also a person who understands righteousness, and they will definitely not agree that I will put Wangyan City in danger for them."

Wei Yang pursed her lips, as if considering Xiao Zuochen's words. It must be said that those in high positions naturally cannot be too sentimental. She naturally agreed with Xiao Zuochen's words.

"But I still don't want to give up on them just like that."

Xiao Zuochen placed a hand on Wei Yang's shoulder.

"Of course we are not giving up on them. We are just looking for the right opportunity. Xiao Zuoming must have ambushed people in advance and is waiting for us to send troops over!"

Wei Yang nodded and thought for a moment. Suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.

"I have an idea, I wonder if it's suitable?"

"Sister, you say!"

At this time, any idea could become the key to rescuing Wei Changmei and the other person.

Wei Yang seemed to be afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so she put her hand over her mouth and whispered something in Xiao Zuochen's ear. After she finished speaking, Xiao Zuochen's expression was a little surprised and unbelievable at first, but then he smiled and nodded.

"Then do as Sister says!"
