Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Han Ye saw the kiln camp in front of him, but Gao Fei was getting closer and closer. The most terrifying thing was that the guards around him fell down one after another. He felt that Gao Fei's steel knife would soon fall on his head, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"Damn it, Gao Fei is still chasing me!" Han Ye cursed angrily.

So Han Ye simply threw Xiao Cui down.

Xiao Cui fell off her horse and rolled on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Gao Fei dismounted and held her in his arms, checking her carotid pulse with his hand. After confirming that she was just unconscious, he picked her up and placed her in a relatively safe place.

Zhang Jingwei was sitting on a cart, arriving late. At this time, he regretted that he couldn't ride a horse. Such a heroic act of saving the beautiful people was actually "getting there first" by the old guy Gao Fei!

“No…no…no…”

Zhang Jingwei was shocked, "Dead?"

Looking at Xiao Cui's face full of blood and anger, she doesn't look like she is dead.

Gao Fei quickly clapped his hands and denied: "No...no...no, she...she...is fine!"

In this scene, Gao Fei's silly look is totally different from the heroic look of the God of Death just now.

Zhang Jingwei's face was filled with black lines, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..."

Now Han Ye has disappeared and is probably already at Yaoying. Yi Feiyu suggested returning to the water defense camp first and then making plans.

Originally, Zhang Jingwei's plan was to wait for reinforcements from Yunzhou. Since he couldn't kill Han Ye, he gave up. Xiao Cui had also escaped danger, so it was not a loss!

Only Gao Fei looked depressed.

"In...inside...there's...there's...there's..."

Zhang Jingwei consoled him, "I know there are still many soldiers and civilians in Huishiyao who have suffered from oppression, but the camp has heavily armored guards and over a hundred garrisons. What can a few of us do?"

Yi Feiyu also stood up to speak for Zhang Jingwei: "Yes, although you are invincible and can fight a hundred people alone, if you rush into the camp rashly, you will definitely fail!"

After the two men's constant persuasion, Gao Fei had no choice but to give up and led a few horses back to the water defense camp.

……

Water bridge checkpoint.

A young man dressed as a scholar came over leisurely, leading a mule.

The man was tall and straight, wearing a white long gown as a base, and an elegant blue waistcoat on the outside. He wore an exquisite square hat on his head, showing a unique temperament and demeanor.

In stark contrast to Zhang Jingwei's luxury and wealth, this man exudes a sense of simplicity, cleanliness and elegance.

His face was also exceptionally beautiful, his skin as white as white jade, crystal clear and flawless. His features were exquisite, with a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and a sculpted chin, just like those young boys in boy bands.

At this time, Captain Lai, who had been busy all night, was taking a nap and was suddenly awakened by his subordinates.

"Master Du! Mr. Wang is here!"

"what?"

Captain Lai jumped from the recliner, quickly tidied his appearance, and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.

After putting on his armor and helmet, he went out with full confidence.

When Captain Lai saw the scholar, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Wang!"

The scholar used his folding fan to gently tap Captain Lai's bowing hand: "Vulgar!"

Then he looked around again. Although the guards standing for ceremonial duty were standing straight, their armor looked like that of a troupe of actors.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that these people don't know how to take care of them. Some of the iron sheets have rusted and the threads on the armor have broken.

The scholar shook his head and sighed, "You country folk, it's a pity to pretend that a clay figurine is made of gold. What a pity..."

Captain Lai was used to being looked down upon anyway, so he didn't take it too seriously. He smiled and led the mule towards the sentry post.

"You reckless man, why don't you open the door and welcome me into the camp, but take me to your shabby bedroom!" The scholar cursed, shaking his sleeves.

Captain Lai heard deafening cries of killing in the camp this morning. Something must have happened in the water defense camp. At that time, he and the guards huddled in the sentry box, trembling, for fear that they would be affected.

Captain Lai explained: "This... General Han is very busy, and I'm afraid he is not ready to welcome Mr. Wang yet. I will send someone to inform him. Wait a moment, wait a moment..." After saying that, he smiled and retreated.

After leaving the sentry post, Captain Lai ordered a guard, "You, go check the situation in the camp!"

The guard's eyes darkened, and he said with a grievance, "Ah? Me?"

That expression was very similar to the look on Benboerba's face when he was asked to get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples.

Captain Lai didn't get angry, but asked with a smile, "Do you want me to go? Okay, I can go, but you have to serve the guy in the sentry box for me."

"Ah, this... okay..."

Compared to the unknown changes in the water defense camp, that scholar is more difficult to serve. If you serve him well, he will scold you, and if you serve him poorly, he will scold you even more.

So the guard had no choice but to compromise, because if he was scolded, he would have to be whipped by Han Ye and dipped in cold water.

After a while, the scholar could no longer sit still and stood up to walk towards the water defense camp, but Captain Lai kept stopping him.

At this time, the guard who had been scouting the area returned and whispered something in Captain Lai's ear, "The Water Defense Camp has been taken over by the Yunzhou troops, and General Han is nowhere to be found!"

Captain Lai couldn't believe it and pointed at the guard and said, "What? Don't lie!"

"How could I possibly have the guts to do that! It's absolutely true. Even the brothers in the outer camp don't dare to attack right now, so the situation in the inner camp won't be very good either!"

Captain Lai was more happy than worried, but how should he explain this to Mr. Wang? Also, who was that young man last night?

As expected, Zhang Jingwei came slowly towards us in a cart.

Captain Lai looked at the group as if he had seen a ghost. "Didn't they enter the camp last night? Why are they here? Why is Yi Feiyu here too? Is that guy... Gao?"

The scholar walked out of the sentry box with an unhappy look on his face, cursing, "What on earth are you doing? Why don't you lead me into the camp? If you delay any longer, I will send a letter to report you all back to the palace!"

Captain Lai couldn't help but think more, and ran towards Zhang Jingwei as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Master, Master!"

Zhang Jingwei closed his eyes and rested. When he saw that it was Captain Lai, he said hello in a lazy voice: "Captain Lai, good morning!"

Captain Lai first greeted him, then said anxiously, "Good morning, sir! Ah... now is not the time to greet you, Mr. Wang is here!"

Zhang Jingwei perked up. This was a surprise that came right to his door.

"Is that the accountant? I was just looking for him!"

He jumped off the carriage, not giving Captain Lai any chance to step on him, and walked straight up to the scholar.

"Are you Mr. Wang? I've heard a lot about you!" Zhang Jingwei casually bowed, and the scholar looked disgusted again. However, looking at Zhang Jingwei's attire, he didn't look like a rough man.

When the scholar saw Zhang Jingwei's face clearly, he was shocked as if he had seen a ghost.

"You! Are you Zhang Linsheng?" (Linsheng is a scholar with excellent academic performance)
