Chapter 61.1
Qi Zheng hurriedly came over: “Boss Liu, I’m not a bad guy. I didn’t come to fight. I was afraid they would find me, so I hid under the table, and then the fight broke out, and they went out ……” Qi Zheng wanted to clarify but suddenly remembered that he couldn’t explain how he came to the Liu Residence.
But no one cares how he got here.
When Zhao Jiahua saw that Liu Ze could speak, she called out to him, “Husband.” She clutched Liu Ze’s hand and cried so hard that she couldn’t breathe.
An Ruochen called out from the side, “Qi Zheng? You are Father Yang’s adopted son, Qi Zheng?”
Qi Zheng was stunned and turned to look at her, “You know my father?”
An Ruochen said, “I don’t know him, but I know about him. His wish to report the matter of espionage was what we want to investigate.”
Qi Zheng’s spirit suddenly lifted.
Outside, the sound of fighting and shouting was intense. An Ruochen looked at the door and asked Qi Zheng to block the door together. The two of them worked together to put the table on the back of the door. Qi Zheng ran to the window to check the situation. An Ruochen hurried to see Liu Ze’s injury. Liu Ze’s face was ashen, obviously dying. An Ruochen shouted: “Don’t die, tell me the name, who else is spying!”
Liu Ze ignored her and only looked at Zhao Jiahua.
Zhao Jiahua could not say whether her feelings were hatred or resentment but only felt extremely sad.
“Tell me quickly.” An Ruochen held Liu Ze’s shoulder: “You cannot just die! You are an important witness!”
Liu Ze looked at Zhao Jiahua and said strenuously: “I ……”
An Ruochen was afraid to move him, only waiting for him to speak.
“Don’t …… blame you, you also …… don’t …… blame me ……. “
An Ruochen stared at him. What?
“Okay.” She heard Zhao Jiahua say so.
Then Liu Ze seemed relieved, suddenly relaxed, and closed his eyes.
Zhao Jiahua cried out loudly on Liu Ze’s body.
An Ruochen was dumbfounded, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Dead? Did he die?
She couldn’t believe it. She reached out and touched Liu Ze’s nostrils. He was not breathing.
An Ruochen stared at him. While listening to Zhao Jiahua’s cries, she also wanted to cry. She had failed, she had made a mistake, she had messed up something so important. She shouldn’t have been greedy and try to catch Mr. Xie. If she had arrested Liu Ze first, would things have been different? Even if the other spies had run away, at least she would have caught Liu Ze.
But now ……
An Ruochen found herself crying. She desperately wanted to do a good job, but it ended this way. She was a waste. She cannot explain herself to the General.
Qi Zheng also wanted to cry. What are you guys crying for? Don’t you need to run for your life, ah?
Outside, the fighters were already banging on the door. Qi Zheng hurriedly fumbled through the bookcase to find the switch. While looking for it, he shouted: “Let’s cry when we have time, okay? For now, let’s save our lives!”
An Ruochen watched his actions and reacted.
Is there a secret room in the Liu Residence?
Qi Zheng found the switch, and the bookcase slowly moved away automatically, revealing the secret passage. Qi Zheng turned around and shouted, “Go!”
An Ruochen gritted her teeth and quickly rummaged through the desk drawers. Without even bothering to check the books, she stuffed a few of them into her arms, dragged the crying Zhao Jiahua and put her arm on her shoulder: “Stay alive. You still have to see your daughter.”
Zhao Jiahua came to her senses and struggled to move her legs. “Did you find her?”
“No. I guessed it. Ping’er and Granny Chen took her, didn’t they? You told them to hide her in the carriage and take her out of the city.”
“Liu Ze ……”
“He should not know. He was surprised when I said last night that I had your daughter. Your daughter is safe.”
Zhao Jiahua sobbed, borrowing An Ruochen’s strength to run forward. Despite the dimness of the secret passage, she saw hope for the future. She bet her hope on An Ruochen, and she bet right.
Qi Zheng led them to run and told them this secret passage was heading to the gambling house. Just now, Brother Niu from the gambling house asked someone to bring some people to the Liu Residence, so he assumed only a few people remained there. The chance to escape from there should be greater.
After running to the side of the gambling house, Qi Zheng probed out first. After seeing no one in the private room, he waved at An Ruochen. An Ruochen took Zhao Jiahua and followed him outside. But before they managed to go far, they were spotted by a big man.
“Stop!”
An Ruochen, having held Zhao Jiahua for so long, has long lost all strength, so she could only push Qi Zheng and shout: “Run.”
“No.” Qi Zheng is young but righteous. He looked around and picked up a bamboo pole on the wall, standing in front of the two girls, which was quite manly.
The big man looked at Qi Zheng, shouted, and raised his sword toward him. Qi Zheng gritted his teeth and was ready to fight with his bamboo pole. But before the big man moved, a rope with a dart flew out from behind Qi Zheng and struck the man in the face, hitting him right in the left eye. The big man screamed as the big knife fell to the ground. He kneeled and covered his eye, blood flowing like water.
Qi Zheng was dumbfounded and turned around to see that An Ruochen had collected the dart rope back with a shake of her hand.
“So powerful.” Qi Zheng couldn’t help but praise.
Is it powerful? An Ruochen gulped. She was aiming at the chest.
Before she could say anything, she heard many shouts all around. The wounded man’s screams drew the attention of others, and many fighters suddenly appeared. When they saw that Qi Zheng and An Ruochen had injured one of their own, they all rushed in this direction and shouted, “Kill them.”
An Ruochen was dumbfounded: “Didn’t you say there were fewer people here?”
Qi Zheng was also dumbfounded: “I heard Brother Niu shouting to call everyone over there. Are they late to get there?”
So now the situation is that they are gathering the fighters to use them as practice?
An Ruochen bellowed: “Who is in charge, come out and talk!”
Negotiation? The fighters were not interested. Someone shouted, “Let’s tie them up first.” With that, he was about to rush forward. But suddenly, he was shot by an arrow from the sky. He fell to the ground with a thud.
The fighters were in a mess. Some shouted or fled, and some rushed to An Ruochen and friends, trying to grab hostages as a backup plan.
Several soldiers in military uniforms jumped from the roof and entered the battle circle. Someone with a bow and arrow stayed on the roof to guard. An Ruochen was overjoyed: “The official soldiers are here. We are safe!”
Qi Zheng waved his bamboo pole and knocked one person back. At that moment, horses’ hooves rang, An Ruochen turned to look and almost cried with joy.
“General!”
The visitor was none other than Big Long.
The black horse’s hooves were as fast as the wind, and all the soldiers had to dodge. Big Long seemed to step out of the sea of people and ran to An Ruochen.
The horse stopped, and Big Long looked down at An Ruochen.
There were fighters who were bloodthirsty and shouted, “There are only a few of them. Kill them all.”
Big Long was not wearing official clothes. No one knew his identity. When the fighters saw him stop, they swung their swords at his horse.
Big Long shouted. The black horse whirled around and kicked. Big Long leaped up from the horse, swung a sword with his backhand, and two heads fell on the ground.
The surrounding people shouted in shock and retreated. An Ruochen saw such murder for the first time, and she froze. Qi Zheng almost vomited.
Big Long landed on his feet, looking at An Ruochen’s expression, pulled and threw her onto the back of the horse: “You go first.”
An Ruochen still did not react. The people around her were still fighting, but the General was there, so she wasn’t afraid. The point is she doesn’t know how to ride a horse.
Big Long looked at her dumb look, seemed angry, and shouted at her: “Go!”
How can I go? An Ruochen looked at Big Long blankly.
