Xia Chu saw Wuma Huacai looking at the bell in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face, and he was really happy for him in his heart.
She originally planned to send him away before the war started, but he was stranded in the Hou Mansion by her and accidentally got involved in the battle for the throne.
In this life, maybe she won't be able to get her revenge.
But at least it can satisfy another person's wish.
"I will send you out of the city at the end of Yinshi. If you don't leave before the war, if you want to break out again..." Before Xia Chu finished speaking, he saw Wuma Huacai gently unbuttoning the silver ring on the bell and clasping the pair of bells together again. On her silver bracelet.
Xia Chu didn't know what he meant by this move. The unfinished words were left in his mouth and he looked at him blankly.
"I didn't come here for this bell, I came into troubled times for the owner of this bell." Wuma Huacai smiled calmly: "So, how can I leave at the moment when your life is at stake?"
Xia Chu looked stunned: "You also know that Chang'an cannot be defended, sooner or later. If you don't leave before the war starts, even I can't guarantee that I can take you out safely."
"I don't know why you want to defend Chang'an, but if you just want to delay time, I'm here... I can help you buy some more time." There was no hesitation on Wuma Huacai's face, which was silent and calm.
This is a kind of self-confidence that fully understands one's own abilities and exudes unconsciously, no matter what others think, it cannot be questioned.
Xia Chu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Wuma Huacai had already picked up a piece of rice paper and started drawing.
Xia Chu didn't dare to disturb his thoughts anymore, so she just sat quietly and watched him draw.
It wasn't until Zhao Xingwen touched the mechanism that Wuma Hua stopped his hand and Xia Chu's figure had already swept away. Fortunately, she was fast enough and arrived in time, cutting off the rope when Zhao Xingwen's life was hanging on the line and saving him. Down.
At this time, Xia Chu saw Zhao Xingwen looking awkward and changed the topic and asked her: "Who is the girl? Why is she in the Hou Mansion?"
She rolled her eyes at him, turned around and led the way and said, "My home is not here... where is it?"
Seeing that she was familiar with her, Zhao Xingwen answered confidently. As he followed her, he muttered: "I never heard my cousin say who he married."
Xia Chu, who was leading the way, stiffened up. She had spoken so plainly, but Zhao Xingwen hadn't recognized her yet. With his strange brain circuit, he actually thought that she was the Marquis's daughter-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xingwen was following behind and asked at the right moment: "Brothers and sisters, why hasn't my cousin come back yet?"
Xia Chu cursed in his heart, should I marry myself
She pinched her eyebrows, not bothering to explain to him, and asked directly: "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Xingwen then said quickly: "Envoy Xiang Yuan asked me to help him get some medicine from the small pharmacy in Yunqi Yuan."
Xia Chu held his head all the way to get the medicine because of pain. Zhao Xingwen was about to leave when Xia Chu suddenly stopped him, thinking... Even if Wuma Huacai designed something, she didn't know how to fight, and her eyes were bright. After seeing the light, he took Zhao Xingwen to Huayuan.
Wuma Huacai was drawing the yellow leather organ defense plan at that time. Xia Chu didn't notice it, but Zhao Xingwen's eyes were shining, and he was looking at it in a trance.
Because of time constraints, Wuma Hua painted clever traps that were simple to set up but extremely lethal.
The yellow leather cord is covered with silver needles, and the two sides are pulled into the ground with transparent fishing lines and fixed with wooden stakes. There are rows of springs behind the leather cord. As long as the fishing line is cut, the leather cord hidden in the snow will The whole thing bounced up and silver needles shot out.
After he finished the drawing, Zhao Xingwen couldn't wait to take out the piece of paper he was writing on, and asked with emotion: "Can this thing really be made?"
Wuma Huacai didn't pay attention to him. He just tilted his head and looked at Xia Chu, as if to ask again, who is this guy
Xia Chu laughed awkwardly and said, "Go ahead and do it quickly. We still have to arrange it late at night."
As for the poison quenched on it, it was thanks to the courtyard where Yue Feng held it next door that Xia Chu was able to use local materials to add some power to the mechanism.
Later, Zhao Xingwen took these objects and arranged them at the North City Gate with the guards of Zhao Mansion overnight. When he returned, he happened to meet Lou Hongfang who had received military orders and led his Qingqi out of the city to fight.
He then tricked Lou Hongfang into guarding his east city gate, while he took the Qingqi and went out to meet the enemy.
Xiao Mubai listened to him tell the whole story and had a vague impression of Wuma Huacai in his mind.
Xia Chu once took this man to Prince Mo's Mansion, and Han Sa arranged a courtyard for him. He only saw him from afar once, and he looked ordinary and didn't pay much attention to him.
At that time, he still thought that Prince Mo's palace was tightly guarded, so there was no need to find someone to set up the agency, but Xia Chu insisted again and again, so he just followed her wishes.
Later, a palace coup occurred, and Concubine Li occupied Chang'an and raised troops to attack Prince Mo's Mansion. Han Hong stayed behind at the mansion and just remembered the method of opening the mechanism that Wuma Hua had told him before leaving, so he tried to figure it out.
Unexpectedly, the power was astonishing, preventing those who attempted to invade from taking an inch forward, and thus saving Xiao Muhong from witnessing a river of blood.
After Xiao Mubai regained Chang'an, Han Hong naturally shut down all those agencies.
Therefore, Xiao Mubai had only heard that the mechanism was well designed and had never seen it with his own eyes. This was the first time he saw it this morning. He only remembered such a person when Zhao Xingwen mentioned it.
It seems that he is really a treasure.
"When did my cousin have a daughter-in-law, I never heard him mention it. There is such a precious talent. It is said that he lived in the Hou Mansion for a while, but he never told me. Didn't you say that he faked his death? Why now? Haven't you come back yet?" After Zhao Xingwen finished telling the whole story, he began to ask Xiao Mubai a barrage of questions.
Xiao Mubai's mouth twitched when he saw that he had mistaken Xia Chu for his sister-in-law.
Zhao Xingwen slapped his forehead and said with a look of realization: "Did you tell him not to come back and let him find reinforcements early in the morning?"
Xiao Mubai sighed lightly. It would be great if he could really predict the future, as he said...
"You are also a general. If there are any changes in strategy, you should inform us in advance. How could you secretly trick Lou Hongfang into leading troops out of the city? If you..." Xiao Mubai paused for a moment. He didn't say the next words and didn't dare to think about it.
"They are all generals. I can go if Lou Hongfang can go, not to mention that time is tight and there is no time." Zhao Xingwen never felt that his life was more valuable than anyone else.
Perhaps it has something to do with what he has been exposed to since childhood. When entering the battlefield, he was already prepared to be wrapped in horse leather.
Huo Wenshu went to look for him when she saw that he had not returned all night. Now that Huo Tianxiu is not in the mansion, Chang'an is on the verge of chaos, and no one in the mansion can stop her anymore.
She went to General Zhao's Mansion and learned that he had taken his guards out of the North City Gate to set up an ambush, and then rushed all the way to the city gate, waiting for his return in fear and anxiety.
After finally expecting his figure to return safely, before he could say anything, he saw that he had taken over Lou Hongfang's cavalry and was about to leave the city to meet the enemy.
Huo Wenshu pursed her lips tightly, frowned tightly, her clear eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't say a word. She just helped him tidy up his armor and put on the helmet for him with her own hands...
