Hu Zhuge's face was already a bit hideous. Obviously, this time the battle of wits was lost to Zhang Huaxuan and he was a little embarrassed and furious, and said, "Brother Zhang Huaxuan is really good strategy! However, even Xia Xuan and the others can defeat this Xia family princes army commander. But how can Brother Zhang Huaxuan break my second line of defense? Come on! Bring them all up."
Following Hu Zhuge’s order, several more soldiers walked in with a group of prisoners tied up by five flowers. These prisoners were the sons of Xia Cheng who had been recruited into the commander-in-chief of the Xia family’s princes’ army. Among them was Xia Ting. His younger brothers Xia Wu and Xia Wen are also among them. Xia Wu had a strong temperament. Even if he was tied up tightly, he was still struggling. When he saw Hu Zhuge, he immediately cursed: "Dog thief! Kill me if there is a species. Otherwise, I am. You will be divided into five horses."
Hu Zhuge turned a deaf ear to Xia Ting's insults. Instead, he looked at Zhang Huaxuan with a grinning smile and said, "How about? Brother Zhang Huaxuan. With these amulets, I believe those outsiders dare not act rashly, right? Oh! That's right. I almost forgot. I am afraid that Brother Zhang Huaxuan will not see this scene. To be safe, I decided to ask Brother Zhang Huaxuan to take the first step on Huangquan Road. Also hope that Brother Zhang Huaxuan should not blame me!"
"Hahahaha!" Faced with these dozens of sharp weapons, Zhang Huaxuan laughed up to the sky, then squinted at Hu Zhuge, and said with a smile: "Marshal Sai Zhuge! One more thing, is it a match? Master Zhuge doesn't want to know? Why does the kid know that this is Longtan Tiger's Den, but dare to come here alone?"
"Huh?" Zhang Huaxuan's words caught Hu Zhuge's mind. But at Hu Zhuge's dazed work, Zhang Huaxuan suddenly waved his hands forward, grabbed the low table in front of him, and just lifted it straight up. The soldiers around obviously didn't expect Zhang Huaxuan to take the lead. Before he could even dodge, the low table smashed directly on the five or six soldiers in front, breaking them into countless pieces of wood.
At this moment, Zhang Huaxuan suddenly wiped his right hand on his abdomen, and suddenly a cold light flashed from Zhang Huaxuan's abdomen. As the cold light flashed and disappeared, a bloodstain appeared on the face of a soldier closest to Zhang Huaxuan, and he let out a scream and fell to the ground. Looking at Zhang Huaxuan's right hand, there was an extra long and narrow sharp sword, which was still swaying left and right, with a buzzing sound.
Only for a moment, the soldiers who surrounded Zhang Huaxuan immediately reacted, and at the same time, carrying their weapons, they slew towards Zhang Huaxuan. However, Zhang Huaxuan only raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Before he could see his movements clearly, he had already leapt into the air. With a wave of the long sword in his hand, he immediately chopped off the heads of the two soldiers. And just at the moment he was about to land, he twisted his upper body, and with a backhand sword, he assassinated a soldier who was about to attack him.
I saw Zhang Huaxuan's sword dance flying, and with his generous official uniform, he really had the aura of a sword fairy. Those more than a dozen soldiers were just ordinary soldiers in the defending army. I thought that dealing with a civilian like Zhang Huaxuan should be done by hand. But he didn't expect Zhang Huaxuan to have such a superb swordsmanship. In a blink of an eye, Zhang Huaxuan was completely killed.
Only the soldiers who escorted Xia Ting and others were left. Zhang Huaxuan shook his sharp sword and shook off the blood on the blade. Turning his head, a pair of murderous eyes moved to those soldiers, and he immediately let him go. They shuddered. Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhang Huaxuan leaping forward, his body like lightning rushed in front of them, the sharp sword turned into a blossoming sword flower, and the remaining soldiers were killed in an instant, and Zhang Huaxuan I was not hurt at all.
At this moment Hu Zhuge was completely stunned. He saw Zhang Huaxuan leaping to Xia Ting and the others. After a few swords fell, he cut off the ropes that bound Xia Ting and the others.
Zhang Huaxuan said to Xia Wen and others: "You guys are frightened! This matter is not over yet, please come and take your subordinates to find the adults and the big boys." Among the masters, Xia Ziteng and Xia Ting were the only ones who were not there. Xia Ting is one of the masterminds in this matter, so naturally he will not be bound. And Xia Ziteng's identity is also very important, I think he should be detained with Xia Cheng.
Xia Wu moved her hands and feet, nodded and shouted: "Master Zhang said that the only way is to rescue Daddy as soon as possible."
And Xia Wen, who was next to Xia Wu, also agreed, but when he turned around, he saw Hu Zhuge standing there, with murderous intent in his eyes, and asked Zhang Huaxuan, "Master Zhang, what should I do with this bastard named Hu? ?"
"What are you still asking? A slash." Xia Wu hated Hu Zhuge to death. If it weren't for Hu Zhuge's instigation, Xia Wu would definitely not dare to do such things like killing his father and taking the throne, plus he was arrested by Hu Zhuge just now. Being a hostage, for Xia Wu, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, it was a shame, so he couldn't wait to chop Hu Zhuge into meat sauce immediately.
"Hold on." Just when Xia Wu picked up a long knife and was about to drop it on Hu Zhuge's head, Zhang Huaxuan stopped Xia Wu and said to Xia Wu: "San Gongzi. This person cannot be killed for the time being. We. First take him directly to save the adult and the eldest son. When you find the adult, let the adult decide how to deal with this person."
Zhang Huaxuan just saved their brother’s life, not to mention Xia Cheng’s name was proposed. Naturally, Xia Wu couldn’t say much. He could only stare bitterly at Hu Zhuge, slobbered, and then angrily moved towards the discussion. Walk outside the palace.
Hu Zhuge was already relieved at this moment, but he no longer had a surprised expression on his face, but returned to his previous indifference. Obviously he has understood that this time, he really lost. And it was a terrible defeat. Hu Zhuge raised his head, looked at Zhang Huaxuan, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Zhang Huaxuan, I didn't expect you to be brilliant and resourceful, and you learned such a good sword technique. I was really defeated this time."
"Haha! Little worms." Zhang Huaxuan just smiled, not very proud, and said: "Back then, the kid was too young and frivolous, to learn the kung fu of swordsmanship. It's just that I have been busy with government affairs over the years, but I have been a lot stranger. Marshal Sai Zhuge laughed."
Hu Zhuge didn't speak anymore, this time he was really unjustly defeated. No one thought that Zhang Huaxuan, who was usually gentle and elegant, would be considered a master of swordsmanship. But this time it was obvious that Zhang Huaxuan had seized his desire to kill him and entered the house alone, which gave him a chance to rescue Xia Ting and the others. But on the other hand, Hu Zhuge had nothing to say when he lost this time. After all, Zhang Huaxuan's resourcefulness this time has far surpassed himself. Although he had guessed his own ending in his heart, Hu Zhuge didn't make any gestures of children. He just closed his eyes and waited quietly for his own ending.
In just such a short time, the commander-in-chief of the Xia family princes army was already broken by the city defenders led by Xia Xuan and others. Although Xia Xuan is not the kind of general known for his bravery, how can he be a mediocre person who can be reused by Xia Cheng and appointed as the commander of the Forbidden Army? I saw Xia Xuan rushing to the forefront, beheading all the rebels who were still daring to fight back. The whole body was full of blood, it was like a Shura.
As soon as Zhang Huaxuan, Xia Wu and others came out of the discussion palace, they happened to see Xia Xuan rushing over so murderously. Xia Ting couldn't help but was taken aback. He had never seen Xia Xuan look like this before, and almost couldn't recognize it. Exclaimed: "Brother Xuan, why are you like this?"
Xia Xuan also knew that Xia Wu didn’t go with Xia Ting and Hu Zhuge, so he smiled back when he saw Xia Wu. He fisted at Zhang Huaxuan and shouted: "Master Zhang, the rebels in the outer courtyard have been cleaned up, and only the inside is left. There are still a few rebels in the courtyard stubbornly resisting. I believe they will break through soon. And..." Xia Xuan stopped halfway through his words, because he had already seen Hu Zhuge behind Zhang Huaxuan and Xia Ting. Thinking of being forced by Hu Zhuge to surrender his military power a few days ago, Xia Xuan gritted his teeth with hatred of Hu Zhuge.
Zhang Huaxuan smiled and said to Xia Xuan: "So the best, General Xuan, let's go to the inner courtyard to rescue the adults and the eldest son with the third son." Then, Zhang Huaxuan blocked Hu Zhuge's body and blocked Xia. The meaning of Xuan's gaze is naturally self-evident.
Xia Xuan is not a fool either. Zhang Huaxuan did this. Of course he understood that Zhang Huaxuan wanted to keep Hu Zhuge. Although he didn't understand why Zhang Huaxuan wanted to save the life of this rebel, he was able to put down the rebellion, thanks to Zhang Huaxuan, so Xia Xuan couldn't refute Zhang Huaxuan's meaning. Anyway, these things must be finalized by the adults, so Xia Xuan took the blood-stained blade back into the sheath, and bowed his hand to Zhang Huaxuan and Xia Ting, and said, "In that case, it should not be too late. Let's hurry. ."
Xia Xuan was right. After all, Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng are still in the hands of the rebels. Although Hu Zhuge has been captured, it is difficult to guarantee that the rebels in the inner courtyard will not jump the wall in a hurry, which is not good for Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng. Originally, Zhang Huaxuan committed a risk this time, just to find a chance to rescue Xia Cheng, Xia Ziteng and others, but he didn't expect Hu Zhuge to keep a hand. Only Xia Ting and others were brought out, and Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng were left in the inner courtyard. Now that Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng had not been rescued, Zhang Huaxuan and the others did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately everyone rushed towards the inner courtyard.
By the time the gate of the inner courtyard, there are still many important Xia Jiajun officials who are already here. The changes in Shangrao these days have already alarmed all the officials in Shangrao. This time Zhang Huaxuan led the army to counter the rebellion and gave them all. Involved. It was Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang who commanded the battle at the forefront.
Seeing Zhang Huaxuan coming, both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang were relieved. They were shocked when they heard Zhang Huaxuan say that they were going to the Xia Family Commander General to rescue the adults by themselves. After all, they were all veterans of Xia Jiajun, and they knew that Zhang Huaxuan had good swordsmanship, and finally agreed to Zhang Huaxuan's plan as a last resort. Now that Zhang Huaxuan came back safe and sound, everyone was relieved. Immediately, Zhang Sailiang stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Huaxuan, how? Can you rescue the adult?"
Zhang Huaxuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and pointed to Xia Wu and the others behind him and said: "You were successfully rescued, but the adults and the eldest sons are still in the backyard. Also, the second son should be in the backyard."
This is when Zhang Sailiang and others found Xia Wu and others behind Zhang Huaxuan and saluted Xia Ting and others. Then they stood up straight and said to Zhang Huaxuan with a worried face: "What should I do then? Both the adults and the eldest sons. In the hands of the rebels, let's throw the rat out."
This was exactly what Zhang Huaxuan was most worried about. He raised his head and glanced at the doorway that was still fighting in front of him. Although the rebels in the inner court are still stubbornly resisting, the Xia Ting's rebellion has now been made public. The forbidden forces that had been commanded by Hu Zhuge have all turned upside down, and so are the defenders controlled by Xia Ting. After more than half of the surrender, it can be seen that the rebels will not be able to support it for long.
Sure enough, without the effort of sticking incense, the defense line formed by the rebels had already been broken through a gap, and all the soldiers immediately swarmed into the inner courtyard. The rebels who had the last hope also dropped their weapons and surrendered. Soon, the soldiers controlled the entire inner courtyard, and then Zhang Huaxuan and others stepped into the inner courtyard. Of course, he did not forget to hold that Hu Zhuge.
Xia Wu came to the fore this time, and led everyone directly to a small courtyard with a closed gate, and said to Zhang Huaxuan: "Daddy and eldest brother were imprisoned here. Before, my fourth brother and I were also imprisoned here. I was brought out by the people sent by Hu Zhuge." As he said, Xia Wu didn't forget to glared at Hu Zhuge behind him, and it seemed that the hatred was hard to dissipate.
After hearing Xia Ting's words, everyone looked at each other. Zhang Huaxuan, Zhang Sailiang and others felt a little strange. They had previously guessed that the rebels might take Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng as hostages, and it did not happen. Xia Xuan didn't have time to think about it. When Xia Ting heard that Xia Cheng and Xia Ziteng were in the courtyard, Xia Xuan waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to surround the small courtyard.
Just when Zhang Huaxuan and others persuaded Xia Xuan not to attack in a hurry, they could only hear a squeak, but the courtyard door that had been closed before suddenly opened, but the outside of the yard that had been noisy suddenly calmed down. . Zhang Huaxuan and the others looked around and saw a person walked out of the courtyard gate, who was the culprit of this rebellion, Xia Ting.
At this time, Xia Ting was not depressed by the defeat. Instead, with a faint smile on his face, he walked out of the yard swaggeringly like a winner. Zhang Huaxuan frowned when Xia Ting came out, and Xia Wu beside him couldn't help but shouted, "Brother, what do you do with Dad?"
Xia Ting smiled, nodded to Xia Ting, and said, "Brother. Don't worry. Although I am anxious to sit in that position, I am not so mad that I will murder my dad. Daddy is still resting inside. , Big Brother is with Daddy. If you don’t believe me, you can go in and have a look."
Even though Xia Ting said so, Xia Wu and others obviously still couldn't believe him, and all of them ran directly into the yard. However, Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang did not leave. Instead, they stared at Xia Ting for a long time. Finally, Zhang Huaxuan sighed for a long time. He had already seen Xia Ting's thoughts. Now the rebellion has failed. Naturally, the culprit couldn't survive. Instead of being killed, it would be better to find a good one for yourself.
However, Zhang Huaxuan did not intend to stop Xia Ting. Although this rebellion has been quelled, someone still has to bear the responsibility. This Hu Zhuge Zhang Huaxuan has other uses, so he can't die. So Xia Tinglai was the only one to bear the blame. Obviously Xia Ting is also a smart person, and he has been mentally prepared early. After looking at Zhang Huaxuan and Zhang Sailiang, Xia Ting smiled faintly and said, "Two Master Zhang. After the kid died, I would like to ask them to take care of me. Wife and children."
