"Escape? Now that Taiyuan City is under martial law, where can we escape to? "
In the room, Wang Kui frowned and said helplessly.
If they could live, who would want to die? But the problem now was that the four city gates of Taiyuan City were all closed. Even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't!
Wang Xinyuan said firmly, "Grandfather, we don't have to escape from the city. Aren't Guardian Zhao and the others trapped in the city now? But they can live peacefully under the search of the soldiers. As long as we take people to Guardian Zhao now, we will have a chance of survival! "
This guy wanted to go all the way to the dark side!
"But … but didn't you say before that Zhao Deyan was of low birth and unreliable? Even if we rely on him, we can only live under his roof and look at his face?"
Wang Kui was a little moved, but he remembered their previous judgment of Zhao Deyan and shook his head.
They came from the Wang family of Taiyuan and were members of a thousand-year-old family. Zhao Deyan was just a local official. Even if they relied on the Turks, how could they be willing to be under Zhao Deyan, a Han?
So they had been secretly waiting for a high-level Turk official, such as the Turk State Preceptor, to come to Taiyuan City. Then, they would fully surrender!
Wang Xinyuan said helplessly, "Grandfather, today is different from the past. Since we have been exposed, our lives are in danger at any time. The most important thing now is to protect our lives. As long as we are still alive and have people in our hands, we will definitely be able to make a comeback! Relying on Guardian Zhao is just a temporary expedient! "
"… Sigh! Alright then! Let's leave the mansion and find Guardian Zhao! "
Wang Kui was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said.
Wang Xinyuan hurriedly said, "Grandfather, we can't go to Guardian Lord Zhao empty-handed. In my opinion, we should quickly pack up some gold, silver, and valuables, and then take the assassins that you have been cultivating over the years, as well as some of the secret guards that are loyal to you. Only in this way will Guardian Lord Zhao be willing to accept us!"
As the saying went, one would not get up early if there were no benefits. From a certain perspective, Wang Xinyuan and Zhao Deyan were the same kind of people — people who crazily sought survival in the face of adversity. Wang Xinyuan understood that if he and Wang Kui went to Zhao Deyan empty-handed, not only would Zhao Deyan not accept their surrender, he might even sell them out to Wang Yu or the Imperial Army!
Because they had no value to Zhao Deyan!
"You're right! There's no time to lose. I'll gather my men, pack up my valuables, and prepare to leave! However, most of the assassins this old man has trained are not in the mansion. After we escape, we will look for them! "
After being reminded by Wang Xinyuan, Wang Kui came to his senses and quickly said.
Then, he shouted outside the door, "Qi Ze, immediately gather your trustworthy brothers and gather in this courtyard in half an hour!"
Someone outside the door immediately answered, "Yes! Your subordinate obeys! "
In the room, Wang Kui knew that there was not much time left, so he did not ask Wang Xinyuan to avoid him. He went directly to the table next to the bed in front of Wang Xinyuan and gently twisted the vase on it. With a "ka ka" sound, the wall twisted and turned, and a secret compartment about one square meter in size appeared. Wang Xinyuan, who was standing behind Wang Kui, could not help but flash his eyes. A trace of surprise and inexplicable emotion appeared on his face. Obviously, he did not expect Wang Kui to be so secretive!
A moment later, seeing Wang Yu take out a large crimson box from the secret compartment, Wang Xinyuan hurriedly went forward to help, but Wang Kui signaled him with his eyes not to interfere. Wang Kui put the wooden box on the table and then said to Wang Xinyuan,
"Here are some gold, silver, jewelry, land deeds, store deeds, and servant's contracts that I have saved over the years. They should be worth about forty to fifty thousand strings of coins. There are some other things, but I don't think there's enough time to pack them up. Take these and leave first!"
