When Lian Mo saw Cheng Zheng coming in alone, he smiled and said, "You dare to come alone.
You are very courageous."
Cheng Zheng said coldly, "My soldiers have surrounded the city.
What am I afraid of?"
Lian Mo pretended not to know, "Who is it?"
Cheng Zheng asked, "My brother Cheng Yuanxin, you led the arrest, you don't know" Lian Mo pretended not to care, "Oh, I don't know.
There is no need for me to personally intervene in dealing with prisoners.
They may be being held in prison, or they may have been beheaded."
Cheng Zheng stepped forward and grabbed his clothes and asked angrily, "Where is he?"
Lian Mo fought back and fought with Cheng Zheng.
After a struggle, Cheng Zheng was captured.
Lian Mo let go and said, "I heard that your hand was injured.
Sure enough."
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Cheng Zheng concluded that he already knew about Yuan Xin, "Let's discuss the terms."
"Okay."
Lian Mo agreed happily.
"what would you like" "I want you to surrender."
Lian Mo was confident.
Cheng Zheng refused flatly, "Impossible.
I have already surrounded the city outside.
You have no backup.
You won't be able to survive for a few days before you beg me for peace.
I only came to negotiate peace with you because of my brother.
Don't push yourself too far."
Lian Mo disapproved, "I have two generals from your Cheng family, so why are you trying to push the envelope?"
Cheng Zheng reminded, "If the two countries are at war, I will come to negotiate with you.
I am here to negotiate peace with you on behalf of our army, not a prisoner you captured."
Lian Mo chuckled and said proudly, "But now that you are in my hands, it is ridiculous to talk about morality with a vicious person like me who will starve to death in a few days."
Cheng Zheng advised, "You have occupied the city for so many days, and you have plundered almost all the food in the city, so there is no need to cry about poverty.
There are still a few cities ahead, but you entered alone, and the battle line was stretched too far. .
I will be generous and give you three days to withdraw from our university.
According to the border, as for the grain you transported, I have the right to give it to you.
This is the biggest concession I can make in consideration of Yuan Xin.
Otherwise, I will besiege you to death and let your father redeem you with carriages and horses.
It’s up to you whether you want to escape unscathed or risk your life.”
"The analysis makes some sense, and at first glance it seems to be of great benefit to me.
However, since I have gone to great lengths to capture Cheng Yuanxin, how can I feel sorry for myself if I don't threaten you?"
Cheng Zheng said resolutely, "If you don't say anything else, it will save you and me trouble if I refuse again."
Lian Mo sighed, "Cheng Yuanxin, this kid, really has a hard life.
Your lieutenant saw him fighting with me but refused to help.
Your brother knew that he was trapped in the enemy camp but still didn't cooperate.
It's pitiful.
Otherwise, this is it. , let him follow me from now on, he is also my cousin, I will not treat him badly no matter what."
Cheng Zheng didn't want to say anything more, "Whatever you say, I'll stop here and say goodbye."
"Stop, it's hard to do this once, why don't you leave without seeing your brother?"

Lian Mo stopped him.
"I'll help you take care of me."
Cheng Zheng said calmly, without showing any impatience.
"I will live up to your trust.
I will take good care of him.
I am afraid that he will not be used to the food here, so I decided not to give him any food.
The food in my city can last for a few days at least.
If you are hungry, He must die before me.
If you are willing to follow me, I will accompany you."
Lian Mo walked up to Cheng Zheng and smiled slyly, "If you want to surround me, you should prepare to collect your brother's body first."
Seeing Cheng Zheng's hesitation, Lian Mo felt confident and said, "I believe Cheng Yuanxin is in my hands.
I want the wind to blow and the rain to rain.
I dare to bet, do you dare?"
"Take me to him."
"Okay, you guys can discuss it together tonight, how to choose."
Lian Mo asked someone to take Cheng Zheng to the cell.
Yuan Xin saw Cheng Zheng coming in and rushed over excitedly, "Brother, you're here."
Cheng Zheng walked into the prison and hugged Yuan Xin, closing his eyes for a long time and unwilling to let go.
The guard locked the door and went out.
Yuan Xin asked cautiously, "Brother, did I get into trouble again?
It's my fault, and I made you come to save me."
"No."
Cheng Zheng said deeply.
After not seeing each other for two months, Yuan Xin's haggardness and naivety made him feel distressed and made him blame himself.
Cheng Zheng let go of his hand and said, "You have suffered."
Yuanxin shook his head, "They didn't make things difficult for me.
My cousin even came to me to eat and chat, telling me that you would come to save me."
"Cousin" Cheng Zheng was shocked.
He didn't expect Yuan Xin to call Lian Mo that way.
Seeing Cheng Zheng's displeasure, Yuanxin lowered his head, "I said the wrong thing."
Cheng Zheng knew in his heart that if Lian Mo didn't treat him sincerely, Yuan Xin wouldn't call him that.
It seems that he never thought of using Yuan Xin's life as a bet.
It was just a bluff to see how many conditions I could agree to. .
But now that I have seen his intentions, he will probably not negotiate terms with me anymore, and then he will very likely take me as a hostage.
Is he really so unethical?
He took the messenger hostage, and if it gets out, he will be looked down upon by everyone in the world.
Is he really that evil?
Cheng Zheng was deep in thought.
Seeing his stern look, Yuan Xin asked, "Brother, are you trapped here too?"
Cheng Zheng sighed, "I don't know, and I'm not sure what Lian Mo has in mind."
Yuan Xin leaned into Cheng Zheng's ear and whispered, "Brother, do you want to escape?"
Cheng Zheng was surprised, Yuan Xin continued, "I saw the city defense force deployment map in the main hall today.
I know where the defense is weakest.
As long as we can escape from this cell, we can get out of the city."
Cheng Zheng was hesitant, but Yuan Xin advised, "If you fail and are caught again, it will be no different from now.

It's better to give it a try."
"Okay, do you have an idea?"
Cheng Zheng agreed.
He had never done such nonsense with Yuan Xin, and suddenly wanted to give it a try.
Yuan Xin blinked his eyes smartly, "Yes, wait until the guards relax in the middle of the night and watch me."
The two were idle and bored, recalling the past when Yuan Xin asked Cheng Zheng why he came to Xijiang from the capital.
Cheng Zheng told him what happened in the capital after he left, including Ying Feng, Yuan Chen, Yu An, and Yi Shan.
Yuan Xin was very emotional after hearing this.
At midnight, the two of them saw that the guards were all drowsy.
Yuanxin pretended to be in pain and shouted, "Come here quickly, I can't survive.
My stomach hurts so much.
I'm going to die."
A guard at the door lazily came over and shouted, "What do you mean it's so late at night?"
Yuan Xin yelled, "I am the hostage captured by your Second Highness.
If there is something wrong with me, what will your Second Highness use to negotiate with our country?
Why don't you go and hire someone to see me?"
"Okay, just wait."
The guard sent one person away to ask for a military doctor.
Yuan Xin screamed in pain again and drew the guard closer to the cell door.
Cheng Zheng took the opportunity to knock him out and get the key, and successfully got out of the cell door.
The guards outside the door were even more vulnerable.
The two of them left without making any big noise.
After solving the problem easily, he also picked up two knives and took them with him.
Cheng Zheng asked, "Where are we going?"
"Which is north?"
"this."
Yuan Xin faced north, closed his eyes and recalled the pictures he saw during the day.
After a moment, he pulled Cheng Zheng and ran to the right, "This way."
It turned out to be smoother than expected.
The two jumped out of the city gate, breathed hard, looked at each other, smiled, and ran away.
At this time, Lian Mo was standing at the door of the hall, drinking wine and looking absentmindedly into the distance.
A general stepped forward and reported back, "In accordance with His Highness's instructions, most of the night guards were withdrawn.
The two of them have escaped from the east gate."
Lian Mo nodded, drank the wine in his hand, closed his eyes and said sadly, "Get ready to withdraw your troops."
Cheng Zhengyuanxin and the two happened to meet Jinfeng leading a patrol on their way back.
Yuanxin seemed to have seen a savior and ran over happily, "My dear, I feel relieved when I see you.
I don't have to worry anymore, you know?"
, I was afraid of enemy soldiers chasing me along the way, which scared me to death.”
Jin Feng nodded lightly, not daring to look directly into Yuan Xin's eyes, "It's good to come back.
I've been worried about you and the young master, so go back to the camp and rest."
Yuanxin talked to him enthusiastically, "Jinfeng, do you know that I am very clever?
The credit for my brother and I being able to rush out is all mine.
I took a few glances at the map of their defensive forces in the city and memorized it." .
And their leader, His Highness, is really stupid.
He didn’t even know how to put it away when he brought me over.

How could he lead the army in such a careless manner?
,Are the people in the West Pool so stupid?
Oh, and the most stupid thing is that the prison is closest to the east gate, and the defense of the east gate is the weakest.
I managed to get out easily.
Their Second Highness is probably furious right now, and his intestines are full of regrets.
Hahahahaha, it’s really interesting.
Do you think I should write a letter to remind him?
He will definitely admire me."
The three of them rode horses towards the military camp.
Yuan Xin was in a good mood.
The hard work and fear of the past few days had disappeared.
They were talking and laughing along the way.
They were very happy and did not notice Jin Feng's strange expression at all.
It was already dawn when we returned to the military camp.
Yuanxin followed Cheng Zheng into the camp, while Jinfeng knelt down outside.
Cheng Zheng said, "You go and rest.
You are tired these days.
I will discuss retreating with some generals later."
"Retreat the troops."
Yuan Xin was very puzzled, "Why retreat the troops?
We have successfully escaped and are no longer threatened by him.
Moreover, we have surrounded the city and victory is in sight.
Why retreat?"
Cheng Zheng explained, "I made an appointment with him.
If he lets you go, I will withdraw some troops, and he will withdraw from the border within three days."
"But he didn't let us out, it was us who escaped."
"He released it.
Do you think Lian Mo would make such a stupid mistake after years of fighting?"
Cheng Zheng said with certainty.
Yuan Xin suddenly realized, "What the hell, I said, why is he so stupid?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
It's made me happy for so long, and you still show it off everywhere.
It's embarrassing."
Cheng Zheng chuckled, "Seeing that you are so complacent, how can I have the nerve to interrupt you?"
Yuan Xin asked, "But why did he do this?
Why didn't he just let me go and lock you up too?"
"Maybe he just wanted to play with you.
He had no intention of keeping you in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have shown you the city defense map."
"I thought I was so powerful, but I didn't expect that I was all part of his plan.
Oh, I'm not happy that I'm leaving."
Yuanxin left in annoyance, and when he left the camp, he found Jinfeng kneeling outside, and Yuanxin returned again.
He said coquettishly, "Brother."
"What's wrong" Yuanxin begged, "Jinfeng is kneeling outside.
Are you angry with him?
It's because I don't know what I can do.

It's not that he ignores me.
Please don't punish him, okay?"
Cheng Zheng denied, "I didn't punish him."
Yuan Xin said in embarrassment, "But he is now" "If he likes to kneel, let him kneel.
If you feel uneasy, just go out and kneel with him."
Cheng Zheng suddenly became angry.
Seeing that he was angry, Yuan Xin did not dare to say anything more.
He turned around and knelt before Jinfeng.
Be with him.
Seeing Jinfeng's lonely expression, Yuanxin began to tease him, but Jinfeng said a few words but remained silent.
"Hey, hey, hey."
Yuan Xin waved his hand, "Fortunately, he can still blink and is alive.
Please tell me something.
Are you angry?
You are angry because my brother is angry.
My brother is angry because of me.
I was caught, so you are angry with me, right?
It’s because I was caught, so I got involved with you.
But you see, I’ve been punished with you, so why don’t you say something to me, it’s such a cold day.
Is it easy?"
No matter what Yuan Xin said, Jin Feng seemed not to hear and kept silent.
Yuan Xin was passing the time by saying something here and there, "Can I tell you a story?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Do you know that Lian Mo is not stupid at all.
It was me who was played around by him.
Thinking of me I’m just angry.”
“My legs are numb, I feel so uncomfortable, don’t you feel it?”
