Masters from various factions in Kunlun, Kongtong, and Huashan recovered their internal strength and swarmed out from the west city gate. The imperial troops guarding the city had long been transferred by Wang Baobao, leaving only some remnants of the Han army. When they saw these martial arts masters coming out of trouble to kill them, they felt in their hearts

Without any intention of resistance, they all abandoned the door and left.

A large number of Red Turban rebels gathered in the Taihang Mountains, not far away. After King Ruyang's 200,000 elite troops withdrew from the Taihang Mountains, they did not return to aid the capital. Instead, they bypassed the capital and headed north.

Wang Baobao had just arrived in the inner imperial city and collected the body of King Liang in Jiande Palace. Although he was extremely sad, he still wanted to support the overall situation. Once King Liang died, the empty shell of Dadu fell on him.

"Damn it!" He slapped the table with his palm, causing a crack in the stone table.

It turned out to be a letter written by King Ruyang to him. The letter mentioned that there was no need to stick to Dadu. If the situation went wrong, he could take King Liang and Zhao Min to Xanadu for refuge in advance.

King Ruyang is by no means a timid person, but the emperor has a decree and orders him to go to Xanadu to escort him first. After all, the Red Turban West Army has occupied Qinchuan and has strangled the only way for heavy cavalry from the northwest to enter the pass. Xanadu

The emperor would feel uneasy when he was surrounded by enemies on both sides, so he hurriedly mobilized King Ruyang's army to rush to Xanadu.

Now, Dadu has no troops to defend it. King Liang was assassinated, and the few remaining loyal and brave soldiers left the capital one after another and rushed to Shangdu. Today Dadu can be said to be an empty city.

Wan'an Temple was burned down by fire for a day and a night. Zhao Min watched quietly on a hillside not far away as he rescued the people from the six sects. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he felt relieved. The two most powerful men on her left were Xuan Ming.

, all died in the fire.

As for the other Kudu Tuo, his whereabouts are unknown, and he must have narrowly escaped death. Now that all the six sects have recovered their skills, although Zhao Min still has warriors to protect him, it is impossible to deal with so many masters.

After she received the news that Prince Liang had been assassinated in Da Nei, she rushed back to the imperial city from the western suburbs without stopping. When she arrived at Prince Liang's mansion, the front door was completely white.

Zhao Min walked in and saw that there was a coffin parked in the middle of the yard, which was actually placed on an open-air dam.

"Qiu Yadu!" Zhao Min looked at Wang Baobao, who was wearing a white gauze and mourning clothes. His expression was haggard, but there was also hatred hidden in his eyes.

"Minmin...my father is dead." Wang Baobao's face softened when he saw Zhao Min.

Zhao Min nodded. He was the one who killed King Liang... He was still a great rebel after all, and was the sinner of the Yuan Dynasty court due to cholera! But Zhao Min not only had hatred in his heart, but also had traces of inexplicable feelings.

Unknown regret...if only he could be one of our own!

"Qiu Ya Du, what are you..." Zhao Min pointed at the coffin and said.

Wang Baobao smiled sadly and said, "Your father has gone north. Now most of the troops can't protect you. I plan to take you to hold the coffin and go north."

"Don't you want this Dadu?" There was a trace of consternation on Zhao Min's face. Wasn't it okay before, with all the fortifications repaired, but now he just abandoned the city and left?

Zhao Min is strong at heart, and she is not willing to give up the capital of Yuan Ting just like this. But after all, she is just a female, and does not understand military politics. She does not know that the capital of Yuan Ting is now nothing more than an empty frame. King Liang said it nicely.

Supervising the country, to put it bluntly, is actually staying as a scapegoat.

King Liang himself understood this, so he was well prepared. If something happened to him, he would be able to save his children. Wang Baobao had first-class martial arts, so it would not be difficult for him to escape in the chaos of war alone.

.

"Minmin, my father is dead. Now I only have you as a relative. Aren't you willing to come with me?" Wang Baobao said with a pitiful expression.

Zhao Min's face turned red and he said fiercely: "What kind of relative? I'm not anyone like you."

Wang Baobao stretched out his hand to take Zhao Min's hand, but Zhao Min nimbly dodged it, "Minmin, we had already made an engagement in Dadu. If not too many things had happened recently, we should have done it long ago.

Got married."

It turned out that a month ago, Zhao Min was deceived by King Ruyang and returned to Dadu, but it was King Liang who wanted to force the marriage and wanted to arrange their marriage in advance. However, Zhao Min did not want to marry Wang Baobao, so he took Xuan Ming with him.

The two elders fled to Green Willow Villa in the northwest, where they captured the masters of the six sects.

"Minmin, no matter what you think, I can understand you. Even if you don't like me now, I can still wait for you." Wang Baobao said softly.

Zhao Min felt very guilty because of his persistence, but things like love cannot be forced. They grew up together, and her feelings for Wang Baobao are more like that of brother and sister. When it comes to talking about marriage,

Instead, the image of another person appeared in Zhao Min's mind.

"Minmin, no matter what you think. Let's evacuate to Dadu first. It's too dangerous here." Wang Baobao said, and ordered his servants to continue moving the objects in the mansion.

Several warriors worked together to carry the coffin out and place it on the hearse.

After everything was packed up, Wang Baobao led the team out of the North City Gate, taking the remaining 1,000 people from the palace and the palace with him, and rushed up.

Zhao Min also rode a horse, walking side by side with Wang Baobao. When she left Dadu, she looked back at the capital city, which symbolized the strength and prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Perhaps once you leave, you will never come back. The national destiny of the Yuan Dynasty may also end here.

When they walked out of Gyeonggi, the sun was already setting. Zhao Min looked at the endless desert in front of him. Through this desert was the grassland. Behind him was the low Great Wall, which symbolized the boundary between the Han people and the northern nomads.

.Stories over the past two thousand years have happened on both sides of this earthen city wall. Every time a horseman climbs over the city wall, it will bring great changes to the people in the south.

This time, they will return to their original place.

"Calling Lulu!" Zhao Min suddenly stopped on his horse and stared at the setting sun falling in the distance among the Populus euphratica trees on the sand sea in a daze.

"What's wrong, Minmin?" Wang Baobao asked.

Zhao Min was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Qiu Yadu... I don't want to go to Xanadu."

Wang Baobao twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a forced smile, "Minmin, this is also what your father meant."

He knew Zhao Min's temper and was willing to indulge her willfulness. If Zhao Min didn't have this temper, how would she be different from those docile women with low eyebrows? If she wasn't willful, she wouldn't be Zhao Min, and Wang Baobao wouldn't be so obsessed with her.

she.

Zhao Min glanced at Wang Baobao, her eyes full of determination. She was determined that even ten thousand horses could not pull him back.

"Qiu Yadu, please send Prince Liang back to Xiadu for burial first. I have to go back to Dadu. I still have some things left there."

Wang Baobao laughed. Zhao Min's excuse was really ridiculous. But Wang Baobao still chose to believe her. When you love someone, sometimes you will be humbled to the dust. Even her stupid lies are regarded as golden rules.

"Minmin, most of them are not safe." Wang Baobao sighed, "The Red Scarf Army will enter the city soon, I'm not worried."

Zhao Min patted Wang Baobao on the shoulder and said like a good buddy: "Qiu Yadu, in my heart you have always been like my brother and have never changed. I understand your thoughts, but I also

I hope you can respect my decision."

Wang Baobao sighed, "Minmin, you must take good care of yourself. When I have settled my father, I will come to Dadu to find you."

"Don't!" Zhao Min rolled his eyes, stretched out his five fingers and said, "Don't come to me... I can take care of myself, but most people are not safe."

Wang Baobao smiled softly and was about to speak when Zhao Min suddenly slapped his horse on the buttocks, turned around and rushed out.

The Yitian Sword she held in her hand was raised slightly, making a gesture of worship, and her back was getting farther and farther under the setting sun.

It was already the second day when Zhao Min returned to Dadu. Since Wang Baobao had evacuated Dadu with the last regular army, even the soldiers guarding the city gate had fled. There was no curfew or access control, so Zhao Min entered the city easily.

At this time, Dadu was in chaos. The Red Turban Rebels came to the city, and the Yuan Ting army abandoned the city and left. The whole Dadu was in chaos. Fortunately, Wang Baobao blocked all the buildings in the imperial city before leaving.

The palace gate, otherwise some gangsters might go in and plunder.

Zhao Min walked to a civilian alley. There were broken baskets and rotten vegetable leaves everywhere. The stalls were smashed and all kinds of sundries were scattered on the ground. Every shop on the whole street seemed to have been looted by bandits.

Similar.

"What are you doing? Don't mess around. My husband is an official of the imperial court!"

In front of a mansion, several people in green clothes were pulling a beautiful young woman. Zhao Min frowned, stopped and continued to look.

"Officials of the imperial court? Are you bringing this up to me? What I want to punish are the lackeys of the Yuan court! You used to ride on the heads of the Han people and exercise power, but now you, the emperor, can't protect yourself, so you still show off your official power?" Then

As the warrior spoke, he stretched out his hand and tore off the young woman's clothes, revealing a white chest.

The eyes of the warriors nearby also shone. They nodded and dragged the young woman into the mansion.

"Oh, it's broad daylight and the universe is bright. I didn't expect that a disciple of the Huashan Sect would do such a thing to a defenseless woman. It's really... tsk tsk tsk..."

The movements of the warriors' hands froze, and when they looked back, they saw a handsome young man in yellow clothes.

"This pretty boy actually knows that we are from the Huashan sect, and we must also be from the Jianghu." The leader of the warrior thought that if he was asked to spread this matter, it would be a bit disgraceful after all.

"Brother, I wonder which sect this disciple is? Now this area is under the temporary control of our Huashan sect. This woman is the daughter of a traitor. Naturally, we will not do anything to her, but she refuses to hand over her family.

It’s hard for us to account for our property to the rebels.”

"Me? I am..." Zhao Min thought for a while and smiled, "I am a disciple of the Wudang Sect. My name is Song Zhong."

Those Huashan disciples murmured, thinking that he was actually a Wudang disciple. They all knew that this time Song Qingshu of the Wudang Sect led his people to rescue the heads of the six major sects, and there was a faint trend of becoming the first martial arts sect in the Central Plains. The Wudang Sect is now

It is also located in the most prosperous Dongcheng District.

"If this person is really a Wudang disciple, why would he come here?" The leader of the Huashan disciples murmured in his heart, and after giving him a try, he stepped forward and pretended to say hello, but he directly threw a hidden weapon.

With a "clang", the hidden weapon that was originally shot at Zhao Min's abdomen was blocked by her Yitian Sword. "It turns out that the disciples of the Huashan Sect are all the same as that damn ghost Xian Yutong. They only know how to use hidden weapons. Let's not call them a famous and upright sect. Let's change their name to

The hypocrites have been dispatched." Zhao Min said with a smile.

The leading disciple shouted "take action", and the five disciples behind him attacked Zhao Min. There was only one second-rate master among them, and the rest were third-rate masters. Zhao Min had learned a hundred schools of thought and had the Yitian Sword in his hand. These people

No matter where her opponents were, they were all injured and fell to the ground within a few moves.

Zhao Min put his sword on the neck of the leader of the Huashan disciples and asked him. Only then did he know that after seeing Wang Baobao leading his troops to flee north, the six sects returned to Dadu and waited for the arrival of the Red Turban Army. At this time, Dadu

There was chaos, so they divided their sphere of influence and divided Dadu into seven regions. The six sects plus the Mingjiao, a total of seven forces, each temporarily managed an area.

The so-called management, in fact, there are not a few people like these Huashan disciples who plundered the Yuan people's property, and even the Han families were not spared. And each sect is sweeping the snow in front of the door, and they may not be able to manage so much. What's more, some

It is not surprising that local gangsters pretend to be disciples of famous families and rob families.

"That's it." Zhao Min tapped his chest lightly with his sword, and he fell down, but his whole body was limp and weak. The other disciples got up and quickly supported their senior brother and fled in embarrassment.

The young woman was saved and hurriedly covered her chest with her hands and thanked Zhao Min.

Zhao Min left here and walked on the street, seeing such scenes everywhere. In his heart, these so-called decent sects were no different from evil heretics. Many disciples of the sects took advantage of the situation to rob and abuse the people.
