Chapter 63
On the cold night, the cold snow, the cold heart, Xiaohua watched as the familiar people were captured by a group of unknown soldiers, and lay motionless on the cold ground. At this moment, she was surprisingly calm. When the officers and soldiers in the distance stopped making any movement, she gently climbed up from the ground and tentatively threw a small stone around. After there was no movement, she poked out her thin body and ran towards the direction of "Xifeng Tower".
Since seeing the Zhong Family Army and Tong Tianyi entering the city, Yue Ling'er felt that neither of them was a good person. After hearing that Zhou Xun was detained by Tong Tianyi, she hurried to the "Xifeng Tower" and discussed with the shopkeeper Wu San's next plan.
Maybe it was expected that the officers and soldiers would not attack them so quickly, so they delayed a lot of time here. When they looked at Xiaohua with a panic, Yue Ling'er realized that something big was happening. She asked Wu San to take good care of Xiaohua. If she couldn't come back, she hoped that he could raise the only flame of the Red Shirt Village to adulthood.
In the Xicheng Yamen Prison, a man with a black robe covering his body stuffed a heavy ingot into the yamen runner's hand. The constable, who had originally looked embarrassed, pretended to let go: "Don't make too much noise. This man is a death row prisoner. The man who will be beheaded tomorrow will leave immediately after seeing it."
The man in the black robe suddenly choked with tears in his eyes. He trotted ten steps and rushed towards the prison where Zhou Xun was imprisoned, holding a delicious meal that made people's appetites.
"Sir, why is this?" The man in black robe showed a beautiful figure. She was the little Taohong who was thinking about Zhou Xun day and night, worried and afraid. At this time, she saw Zhou Xun, who was covered in scars, but standing like a mountain and mighty and unyielding, she had already shed tears like rain.
"Why are you here? Go quickly. If they appear, you will be implicated by me." Zhou Xun, who was not surprised by favors and disgraces, saw the woman he liked, and his concern was beyond words, and he had long forgotten his own pain and safety.
"Sir, do you know? When I saw you at the top of the city that day, I wanted to tell you this good news." Xiao Taohong showed the little woman's original shy look, and her jade-white little hands kept rubbing her belly back and forth.
"You mean..." Zhou Xun, who was still eating voraciously, suddenly his eyes were dull, looking at Xiao Taohong with an incredible and joyful look, hoping to get the answer she wanted from her mouth.
"Sir, you have Master Zhou."
"Ah, hahahahaha" Zhou Xun cried with joy. It seemed that God had opened his eyes. On the night when he was about to bid someone else's life, he actually knew that the woman he loved was pregnant with his own flesh and blood. He felt a little frustrated at first, but at this moment he felt that he would no longer have regrets in his life.
"Sir, when I came in just now, someone asked me to hand it over to you." Xiao Taohong turned around alertly and looked at the position where the captain was, and at the same time stuffed a wax ball into Zhou Xun's hand.
When Zhou Xun watched Xiao Taohong leave reluctantly and saw the news that surprised him from the wax ball, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night until he was taken to the execution ground that a warm smile was filled with his face.

Ma Mansion, this originally bloody place, has become the residence of Zhongshizhong in Xicheng. It is a certain distance from the city wall, so every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree is well preserved. However, the owner of this house has changed wave after wave. The originally rich and exquisite yard has now become devastated. The military officers did not know how to cherish the strange flowers and trees around them. The famous pavilions have long since broken here. Flower pots were randomly broken on the ground. The trees used for viewing have long been cut down by the officers and soldiers, and they are piled up on the side as timber. The originally neat yard is piled with horse manure eggs, making the originally fragrant yard smelly. If Master Ma knew all this, if he knew about it, he would definitely feel that it would be better to burn it here with a fire.
When Yue Ling'er pushed open the gate of the Ma Mansion, the two officers and soldiers who were burning fire were shocked. When they saw this person's style, they were so scared that they hurriedly hid behind the pillar and asked in a daze: "There are faults and the debts are the masters. We are just staying here for one night. The original owner of the household you are looking for has long disappeared."
Looking at the two who were scared, Yue Ling'er smiled contemptuously. When the ghostly voice was remembered, the two soldiers of Zhan Zhan Weiwei dared not come forward to talk.
"I called you Lord Zhong to come out and say that Yue Ling'er from Hongshanzhai is here and come to negotiate terms with her."
When Master Zhong rushed over without even putting his shoes in his arms, Yue Ling'er was already surrounded by layers. Looking at the bodies trembling constantly, sweating on his forehead, and cold sweating on his hands holding swords and guns in both hands, Master Zhong held the shoulders of the person who was confronting Yue Ling'er in the front.
The man felt the comfort of the coach behind him and seemed to calm down. However, when Master Zhong left his hand, his hands that were originally uncontrollable trembled even more violently. This "Fairy Lan Ling" put too much pressure on people. Damn, who just pushed me to the front just now?
"I am willing to pay my life with those innocent women and children." Yue Ling'er threw the long sword to the ground, calm like a pool of lake water. When she looked at the Master Zong, she was neither happy nor worried, and her courage made people frightened.
"What if I don't agree?" Master Zhong wanted to see how capable this person was, so he began to deliberately anger her.
With a 'swoosh' sound, the long sword that fell to the ground had returned to her hand at some point. After a fast invisible figure passed, the officer and soldier who was pushed out at the front had a sad face, touching all over his body, muttering: "Here you see, I'm bleeding, why can't I feel the pain at all? Am I dead?"
When everyone saw the man's two eyebrows were shaved, and the movements of his funny scratching and touching around was even more hilarious, but no one dared to laugh out loud, and no one dared to act rashly.
"You can make a deal. If you kill all the women, you must be buried with them, but if they are alive, you can live, and I will let you deal with it. Do you still need to consider such a best-of-two world thing?"
These undeniable words made Zhong Shizhong, who was originally riding on the battlefield, completely without the courage to refuse. Looking at the officers and soldiers who were frightened and wanted to retreat, Zhong Shizhong knew that he had been defeated and was completely defeated.
He fulfilled his promise with Yue Ling'er and asked his officers and soldiers to secretly release the gang of custodians. He was not relieved until Yue Ling'er was taken into custody on the third floor of the army and the third floor of the outside.
When Mao Zixing saw Yue Ling'er locked up opposite him, he smiled evilly on his face and sneered: "No matter how capable you are, you are still arrested."
"I am different from you. You were caught in, but I walked in by myself. If I want, I can't control me at all."
"I am different from you. They dare not kill me. They will take me back to Bianliang City. There are many uncertain factors along the way, and I may not die. Tomorrow, you will inevitably be beheaded by them. Only when they hold your head will they feel that it is the safest."
"Is death that scary? I died alone, but I got a way out for hundreds of people. And even if you survive along the way, you have lost at least a few hundred lives. Is this really worth it?"
Mao Zixing felt nothing at first, but at this time, Yue Ling'er pointed it out, and the more he thought about it, he became more and more afraid. There must be many disciples who came to rescue him along the way, and these officers and soldiers must have sprinkled a net of heaven and earth, waiting to invite you into the trap. Yue Ling'er's words had already made Mao Zixing feel ashamed and could not say a word for a long time.
"Don't you think a person like you is sad? Is it really worth it to save so many lives for your own benefit?"
"Stop talking. If it weren't for this world that makes people unable to survive, would we have come to where we are today?"
"Taking your own selfish desires to the innocent people will show your cowardice and incompetence."
"What qualifications do you have to say to me? You are not the witch taught from the red shirt that kills people without blinking."
"You are wrong again. Since a year ago, we have left the Red Shirt Teaching. We are now the 'Red Detachment of Women' and are now able to support ourselves. If it weren't for the Westerners, we could live a more free and easy life."
Listening to Yue Ling'er's nonsense like a demonic obstruction, Mao Zixing had no idea which sentence was true or which sentence was false. When the last trace of dignity and superiority was completely shattered, he began to doubt the ideal he had insisted on. If he was willing to change now, would there be the day he would have been going on again? He could not imagine.
Now he no longer felt so jealous of Yue Ling'er. Although he knew that his son was tampered with her, the grudges between Xing San and his son were also caused by his lack of strict discipline over the years. When the knot in his heart was untied, he became depressed, and his jealous heart made him feel that he could not understand it.
After that, he never said a word to Yue Ling'er. Looking at the stars in the sky, he seemed to have found the star symbolizing Mao Xirong. There seemed to be a familiar face full of smiles on the vast galaxy. Mao Zixing couldn't help crying and was full of desolation. This man who had originally taken a detour finally returned to the right path, and his future will be a brilliant road. The goal that he could not achieve in his life was originally a goal. After this change, the opportunity came quietly.

When a team of officers and soldiers entered the city, several people quietly sneaked in at the end. One was tall and big, carrying a hard bow on his back and holding a trident in his hand; one was smiling and carrying a stunning iron knife; the other was underage, carrying a Liquan gun that was taller than him. These three people showed great disharmony in the entire team.
He De, the tail soldier in the last row, was stunned for a moment. Seeing the three people looking strange, they just wanted to say hello symbolically: "Why have you never seen you? Where did you come from?"
The hippie man suddenly became serious and looked up and down at the tail-tail soldier, and said something that made the tail-tail soldier very scared: "I have been here for more than three years, and I have never seen you before. I honestly tell you where you came from? Is it a spy sent by the Westerners?"
"The villain comes from Hejian Mansion, and there is an old mother at home. In order to support my 60-year-old mother, adults should not be concerned about it."
"You are a child who can teach you. Is there an unmarried young wife at home?" The man winked and squeezed at the burly man next to him. The man seemed to understand it, and immediately came over and looked at He De, the tail soldiers with his eyes shining.
"The only sister in the family got married last year."
"Tsk, are there any cousins from afar? It's better to be a young wife who has never married." The burly man did not give up and quickly replied.
"There is a truth, but..." He De, the tail-soldier, looked at the burly man at the same time.
"I'm so confident, my body is so good, it tastes good when I eat it." The burly man showed his muscles in his chest, and he had already envied the tail-soldier He De.
"It's just that you may be suffering."
"Don't fucking talk and stutter, just be more slack."
"A cousin has only given birth to a daughter, and I'm afraid the man will have to wait for more than ten years."
When I heard the words of the tail soldiers, the burly man was already ashamed to want to hit the wall. The man with a smiley face and the young man next to him could no longer help but laugh out loud. The happy trio finally came out for a long time, which really made me miss him a little.

In the Western Yi Barracks, Tuoba Wuzong looked at Hu Zhengyan who was helpless and looked at the hungry officers and soldiers. He couldn't help calling his own soldiers. After a wailing sound of killing horses, Tuoba Wuzong closed his eyes in despair. If his reinforcements could not arrive, he didn't know how long he could last. Looking at the small Xicheng that could never be captured, he slapped the table next to it. For a moment, wood chips flew everywhere. The originally complete table had already been broken, and none of them were intact.
Today, when the Zhong family army, who had been fighting with him for many years and had a victory or defeat, came to support him, his heart fell into a trough. If the Wei Chaoren came to attack the camp at this moment, he would have no confidence in winning. In order to prevent it, he retreated ten miles backwards and sent people to take turns to watch the night, guarding the surrounding safety without slacking off for a moment.
Hu Zhengyan was anxiously waiting for the "White Lotus Sect" to take action. When the agreed day came, the gang of slogans did not fulfill their original promise. The originally solid city gate was closed so tightly, which made him unable to help curse: "Useless things."
After saying this, he looked full of regret. If he hadn't lost the food and grass of the entire army, would he have been looked at by that guy Tuoba Wuzong like this? This time, it was the most depressing time he felt. If it weren't that ghost...
