Chapter 101 Abandoned City
This kid named Song actually has a nice personality, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person.

"I don't know what the situation is like over there."

After Chen Sanshi disposed of the body, he rushed to the place where they agreed to meet in the [Hide and Seek] state.

……

forest.

The unit direct and the old slave were lying on the ground with mutilated limbs, completing the revolving lantern of their lives with their last breath, and then they died.

"Han Cheng, you, you!"

Tang Ming lowered his head and looked at the blade that suddenly pierced his chest, his expression filled with anger and confusion: "Traitor, die—"

Even though he was stabbed in the heart, he did not die immediately. A terrifying and brutal force burst out from somewhere, and he slapped the opponent on the chest and knocked him back. Then he drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword that had already been sheathed and fought with him.

far away.

Ji Guangxian and Xue Yuping were sitting on horseback and watching this scene from afar, both of them were extremely surprised.

"Mr. Ji, is Han Cheng your man?"

"Isn't he yours?"

Ji Guangxian frowned: "Could it be that he gave me the news?"

Not long ago.

Someone slipped a secret letter into his residence.

Now it seems that it must be Han Cheng.

"Not yours?"

Xue Yuping quickly figured it out: "That's Sun Xiangzong's man."

"He's involved too?"

Ji Guangxian urged, "County Magistrate Xue, why don't you tell the truth? What on earth are you doing in Yunzhou?!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm just here to look for the fairy treasure. I don't know anything about what's going on!"

Xue Yuping said this and was about to leave on horseback.

"drive!"

"stop!"

Ji Guangxian blocked the way and said, "Mr. Xue, hand over the magic treasure and tell me the whole story, and I will spare your life!"

"Ji Guangxian, you are nothing!"

"vulgar!"

"Well, a gentleman should act rather than talk. How about you and I try our hand at this?!"

"Come on, come on!"

An official in a red robe and an official in a green robe dismounted from their horses, took off their black hats, belts, and official uniforms, leaving only their inner linings, and rolled up their sleeves to start fighting with each other.

You hit me and I hit you.

You pull my hair and I pull your beard.

"mean!"

"Rude!"

"idiot!"

"A treacherous villain!"

After a while, the two court officials beat each other until their faces were bruised and swollen.

"You two lords, you are quite skilled."

Chen Sanshi appeared quietly.

"Master Chen?!"

Xue Yuping was overjoyed: "You came at the right time! Hurry up and kill this beast, then follow me and leave this place directly to the capital!"

"Master Chen, kill him!"

Ji Guangxian gained the upper hand, riding on Xue Yuping's body, grabbing his hair tightly: "Then follow me, Mr. Gao from the cabinet will protect you!"

"Bah!"

Zhenyue is unsheathed.

Ji Guangxian was beheaded.

"it is good!"

Before Xue Yuping could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the shining sword blade approaching him: "Master Chen, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"Bah!"

With a wave of his sword, he took the life.

All deserve to die!
They all wanted to control him by various means.

Chen Sanshi put away his sword.

"Tang Ming is dead too."

Han Cheng finished the fight, covered in blood and pale, "Master Chen, what a good plan! A good trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife! Otherwise, if Xue Yuping saw that you didn't leave, he would definitely order Tang Ming to turn back and kill you first."

"It doesn't matter to you, right?"

Chen Sanshi saw that the other party was injured.

"He won't die, but I'm afraid he won't be able to fight anymore."

Han Cheng coughed up a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "The bodies were simply treated and left here, and the barbarian spies will soon find them. When the capital investigates in the future, they will determine that the Yan and Gao factions killed each other. As for me, I also met with an accident on the way back.

“In short, even if they suspect something, they will only suspect me and then the Governor’s Mansion.

"Don't worry, if you can really save the young lady and the young master, it won't matter if you take the blame. The Governor's Mansion has long been ready to deal with it.

"Have you arranged what's next?

“Lead the young lady and the young master together through the small path?
"According to intelligence, in two days, the barbarians will withdraw 20,000 troops from the main battlefield and come to Poyang. It is very likely that there are masters of the Wushen Teaching Power hidden among them.

"So if we're going to leave, we'd better leave tonight.

"You can bring your wife, the young lady and the young master with you, travel light, and break out of Xiaonan Gate. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Captain Han."

Chen Sanshi stared in the direction of the city: "When did I say that I would only take them away?"

Han Cheng was stunned: "What does Master Chen mean?"

"Everyone go!"

Chen Sanshi said in a sonorous voice: "In Poyang County, anyone who is willing to contribute to the defense of the city, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, let's go together!"

"How can it be."

Han Cheng was stunned: "Master Chen, the barbarians are surrounding the city on all sides. How can so many people leave together?"

"I have a plan. I can make the Xihe tribe retreat temporarily. They won't dare to pursue us for two days. This will buy them two to three days of retreat time. Then they can get support from the two thousand soldiers of Hengkang Prefecture. There may be a way out."

Chen Sanshi knew that taking the people with him and fleeing would be a burden.

But which of those soldiers who were willing to follow him to death didn't have families? !
If we stay, there is a 100% chance that no one will survive.

If we leave, many people will surely die on the way, but even if one more person survives, it will be good.

Again.

He must do his best to have a clear conscience within the limits of his ability.

There is another equally important point.

No matter what the blood sacrifice is for, what does the dog emperor want to do by colluding with the barbarians?

He wanted to stir up trouble! ...

"Pay the money, pay the money!"

West of the city.

In the Zhao family mansion of the Zhao family's martial arts school, almost all the gentry and masters in the city gathered. They were all dressed in silk and satin and had fat bodies, but the fear and uneasiness on their faces proved that their recent days were not peaceful.

Wang Zhi stood at the highest point and said in a loud voice: "Pay the money, just the banknotes, no silver!"

"Master Wang!"

Zhao Shanming, the owner of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, looked a little pale: "One thousand taels of silver per family, isn't it too expensive?"

"That's right, Wang Zhi, you are taking advantage of the situation!"

A former official who had retired to his hometown accused him, "I know the superior officer of the Anding Prefecture Commandery. Be careful or I'll file a complaint against you!"

"Fuck you, go ahead!"

Wang Zhi cursed and said, "Anding Mansion is still surrounded, you can go ahead! You are a bunch of ungrateful people, you think it's expensive? If you think it's expensive, then don't leave!
"If I didn't have a good relationship with you guys on a normal day, would I still think of you at this critical moment?!
"I'll say it one last time. If you pay me 1,000 taels of silver, I'll take you away to the safe Hengkang Mansion. Otherwise, you can stay here!"

"One thousand taels..."

Everyone started talking among themselves: "It's a good deal if there is no limit on the number of people in each household."

"Yes, let's go! We can't stay in Poyang any longer."

"Master Wang, please don't lie to us!"

"..."

"rest assured!"

Wang Zhi smiled and said, "I, Wang, always do things for money and I'm always reliable!
"As long as you pay the money, I guarantee that you can leave Poyang!

"Hurry up, if you want to survive, leave from the west city gate in one hour. No one will be waiting after you've reached that time!"

"We paid the money!"

A group of people began to line up to pay.

Then, within the specified time, they hurriedly packed up their belongings and gathered their people.

In Poyang City.

Now there are only two major martial arts schools, eight small martial arts schools, and dozens of large households.

In the end, there were as many as two thousand people gathered!
Among them, there are more than 1,200 adult men, more than 300 of whom have practiced martial arts, and there are dozens of blood-training warriors.

But they defended the city for more than a month.

Except for those who were forcibly conscripted at the beginning, none of these people went to the battlefield!
"Pan Quan, what the hell are you still hesitating about!"

Wang Zhi urged.

Pan Quan, Zhao Shanming and others not only brought their families with them, but also pulled carriages filled with gold, silver, and precious medicinal materials, and they were reluctant to throw away any of them.

They have passed it down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and no one knows how much wealth they have accumulated.

"Okay, hurry up!"

Wang Zhi gave the order.

With them were Zhao Kang, Xiong Qiuan, and two hundred soldiers, who began to distribute weapons to those who had none.

Since the defense of the city, a large number of weapons have been seized and the quantity is sufficient.

A squire surnamed Liu, who was already in his sixties, looked at the standard long sword handed to him and said, "Master Wang, what are you doing? Aren't you taking us out of the city to escape? Why are you giving us weapons?"

"Break through, what else can you do?"

Wang Zhi explained: "The city is surrounded on all sides. Although the defense outside the west city is relatively weak, we still have to break through. But don't worry, I will hold the front, and you only need to protect yourselves with your weapons.

"Let's go, no more waiting!"

"Om-long——"

The western city gate was wide open in the night.

Wang Zhi led the men in the front, with Zhao Kang and Xiong Qiuan on both sides.

After walking about five miles.

One camp after another came into view.

The camp was heavily guarded inside and outside, with teams of cavalry patrolling back and forth. Judging from the deployment of the troops, there were at least two thousand of them. This was clearly the weakest point; it was clearly the base camp where the commander was located.

"Wang Zhi, are you mistaken?"

Zhao Shanming chased after them and said nervously, "Why don't you retreat and find another way out before you are discovered!"

"Wrong way?"

Wang Zhi looked at him and curled his lips: "I'm going to charge their base camp!"

"What do you mean?"

Before Zhao Shanming could figure it out, a deafening shout suddenly rang in his ears.

"kill--"

"kill--"

"Boom boom boom——"

Zhao Kang, Xiong Qiuan and more than 200 people shouted without warning and raised torches.

"kill!"

"Go straight to the main camp and capture Wumer alive!"

"what?"

The gentlemen, who were originally thought to have broken through and escaped, were frightened by the sudden change and were at a loss as to what to do.

"Wang Zhi, you...what on earth do you want to do?!"

Zhao Shanming's speech became incoherent.

"What, didn't you hear?"

Wang Zhi shouted: "Charge toward the enemy camp and capture Wumer alive!"

"If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself!"

Zhao Shanming turned and left.

"Run!"

More than a thousand people turned around and were about to return to the city.

At this time.

Feng Yong rushed out with a group of men, blocked their retreat, and shot the one fleeing in front to death: "Whoever takes another step back will die!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

With such a big commotion, how could the barbarian base not have noticed it?

Send out a large number of troops and form a battle array to attack.

"Zhao Shanming, Pan Quan!"

Wang Zhi pointed his sword at the rapidly approaching barbarian army and said, "You can't run away. Either follow me and kill the enemy, or wait to be hacked to death!"

at the same time.

On top of the city wall.

"Your Excellency has a really good strategy. Even I have to admire it!"

Xu Wen picked up a feather fan from somewhere and waved his hand: "Light it up!"
