The nephew of the Wu family relied on Wu Guifei to get a petty official in the court, and later he had been making a dog leg for Lord Wu, and later the Wu family was beheaded, and he escaped alone, and in order to take revenge, he contacted the Nanyi people and smuggled them into the capital.

Lu Yan's face was full of anger, and he was about to make a move when he held the sword.

He has been on the battlefield for many years and hates the Nanyi people to the core.

Just as he was about to rush forward, Zhou Ruiyuan pulled him back.

Then, Zhou Zhao's voice suddenly came from outside the inn, "Big brother, uncle, it's good for you to be inside!"

Lu Yan was startled, and hurriedly looked over, only to see Zhou Zhao riding a horse in armor, holding a spear in his hand, and rows of soldiers standing beside him.

He looked at Zhou Ruiyuan suspiciously.

Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly: "Zhao'er arrived outside the capital a month ago, and I sent someone to take them to a small village to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and I only let him go to the capital today." "

Leaving Zhou Zhao outside the city is to prevent some ministers from rebelling against him.

Unexpectedly, there were Nanyi people in the city, so he had to recruit him back in advance.

A few days ago, Zhou Ruiyuan learned from the spies that there were Nanyi people in the city, and agreed with Du Bangchun in advance that if something strange happened one day, he would immediately send a message to Zhou Zhao and let him enter the city.

When Du Bangchun learned that Zhou Ruiyuan and Lu Yan were looking for the emperor, he anxiously followed Miss Mo to the inn to look for someone, but in fact, he had already left a letter to Hai Qingyang at that time, asking him and Mr. Yuan to bring Zhou Zhao.

As for Zhou Zhao's ears and eyes in the city, he got the news from Du Bangchun, and immediately rushed to the city, and after entering the city gate, he heard that something strange was happening in the restaurant, and without thinking too much, he immediately sent troops to surround the restaurant.

When they surrounded the inn, Du Bangchun and Miss Mo's carriage also stopped at the entrance of the inn.

Miss Mo strode down from the carriage, with a panicked look on her face, "Bang Chun, we seem to be late, Your Highness and the general have been held hostage in the inn by them.

Du Bangchun slowly walked to his side and looked up: "Ruiyuan can follow them upstairs, it must be because he has an idea, let's wait first."

Miss Mo nodded, but the sadness on her face was still there.

Inside the restaurant, the Nanyi people looked at the soldiers surrounding them outside, and immediately panicked.

Before they started, although they came with the intention of dying, they still couldn't stop being afraid when they were really dying.

Zhou Ruiyuan caught the panic on their faces and said slowly: "I'll give you a chance, and now I'll arrest you immediately, and I will spare your life."

The blackbearded man sneered, "The prince is trying to fool us for fools."

"We came here today with no intention of coming back alive. The

words fell, and he waved the big knife in his hand towards Zhou Ruiyuan.

Zhou Ruiyuan stepped back, took out a soft sword from his waist, and stabbed at the blackbearded man by surprise.

The blackbearded man was stabbed in the shoulder and let out a cry of pain.

Lu Yanfei swung a shot at them, and protected Zhou Ruiyuan behind him.

Blackbeard held a scimitar, gritted his teeth and swung it at Zhou Ruiyuan again, slashing at it, and shouted at the same time: "Quick, pour oil on me and set it on fire." The

other Nanyi people immediately set off to carry the oil drums.

At this moment, Zhou Zhao had already rushed up with someone, he took out his bow and arrow, and released an arrow at the Nanyi people who were dragging oil barrels.

With a loud bang, the arrow passed directly through the chest of the Nanyi people.

The blackbearded man was startled, and when he looked sideways, Zhou Zhao fired another arrow at him.

The arrow flew, and a group of soldiers poured in, knocking down all the Nanyi people.

Lu Yan took advantage of the situation and protected Zhou Ruiyuan to retreat.

Zhou Zhao moved very quickly and knocked the black-bearded man to the ground, stepped on his back, and sneered: "I didn't kill you on the battlefield, I didn't expect to be able to pick up leaks here, the lord of your family is really big-hearted, and he sent you to assassinate the prince." "

Wishful thinking!" the

black-bearded man curled up and did not speak, as if to be honest.

Lu Yanchang breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhao'er, fortunately, you arrived in time."

Zhou Zhao smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be afraid, the eldest brother knows the measure, otherwise we won't be able to capture them alive."

As he spoke, he commanded the soldiers behind him: "Tie them up for me, and don't let them bite their tongues and kill themselves." "

Yes, General. "

The soldiers tied up the black-bearded man and stuffed a large mass of coarse cloth in his mouth, which was pressed against the base of his tongue, so that he could not bite his tongue or speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Ruiyuan turned around and walked slowly downstairs, when he came to the staircase, his footsteps paused, through the window of the corridor he suddenly felt a chill rushing towards him, this chill was a little familiar, he hurriedly asked Zhou Zhao: "Third brother, where is your sister-in-law?" Zhou Zhao replied: "Sister-in-law is

at the door."

Zhou Ruiyuan walked downstairs quickly, and just when everyone thought it was okay, he rushed towards Du Bangchun, hugged her in his arms, and turned his back to the direction of the inn.

Then a chill hit, Zhou Ruiyuan was stunned, and Du Bangchun hugged him tighter.

Du Bangchun was shocked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?"

She stretched out her hand to hug him, vaguely touched a cold sword hilt, looked down and saw that her hands were wet and full of blood

, Du Bangchun was shocked, her eyes suddenly cooled, and she suddenly looked up in the direction of the inn.

She frowned, the sky was dark and dark, the doors and windows in the inn clanged, and the entire roof was about to be lifted, but a strange force suddenly attacked and cracked it little by little.

She was amazed, and then another arrow flew towards them.

Du Bangchun hurriedly took Zhou Ruiyuan to hide backwards.

At this moment, a slightly trembling figure suddenly rushed towards them, and the man opened his arms to protect her and Zhou Ruiyuan tightly behind him, allowing the arrow to pierce his heart.
