After a long wait for the city gate to open, Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the East City Gate would not open. In fact, Wang Xian thought too much. What Tong Guonai wanted was to attack Li Chengdong suddenly. How could he not open the city gate? If Li Chengdong found that the East City Gate was not open normally, he would immediately suspect Tong Guonai, so the city gate must be opened on time.

After Wang Xian and his men paid the tax on entering the city, they mixed in a big cart into the East City. After entering the urn city, Wang Xian found that the number of Qing soldiers guarding the gate today has doubled, and the soldiers guarding the gate have also been replaced by the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which is not the previous inspection department.

Wang Xian was also a man who had fought a war. He showed that these gatekeepers had a faint murderous aura at first sight. This was not the murderous aura that the local garrison troops of the inspection department could have. Only those who had truly killed people were allowed.

Seeing these Wang Xian, he knew that his guess was right, and the Qing Dynasty was about to take action at the Dongcheng Gate.

Following the cart into the city, the carts carrying vegetables separated and entered various markets in the city. However, Wang Xian and the others had no place to go. Wang Xian wanted to go to Li Chengdong's mansion to warn him, but Tong Tuchang was always in contact with Li Chengdong's line. Li Yuanyin always looked for Tong Tuchang every time, and the Jinyiwei couldn't get involved. The spy lurking in the Li Mansion was too low in identity, and it was just a few servants, and he couldn't get along with the father and son of the Li family. Wang Xian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

In order to take the credit for rebelling against Li Chengdong, Tong Tuchang excluded the Jinyiwei when he contacted Li Yuanyin. Wang Xian also knew Tong Tuchang's little thoughts. Wang Xian was not optimistic about Li Chengdong's ability anyway, so he let Tong Tuchang go. The facts also show that Wang Xian's judgment was correct. After several contacts with Tong Tuchang, Li Chengdong lost interest in negotiating with Tong Tuchang. He has not been looking for Tong Tuchang for half a month. Wang Xian thought that the line had failed, so he let go and prepared to attack the Li family and rescue Princess Yuyang.

But unexpectedly, when Tong Tuchang sent a reply, he was ready to take action, which made Wang Xian, who was completely unprepared, really nowhere to start.

Wang Xian stood on the East Gate Street and thought for a long time, but waited at the city gate to make peace. After watching Li Chengdong arrive, he decided what to do. In this way, Wang Xian ordered his people to scatter and wait for Li Chengdong to arrive.

But Wang Xian still didn't expect that Li Chengdong would clear the road when he went out. When Li Chengdong came, the ten people leading the way were whipping away the crowd on the street.

Wang Xian couldn't follow the crowd into the shops on both sides of the street. Wang Xian cursed in his heart: Li Chengdong, a general, dared to clear the way. You must know that only the emperor can travel to clear the way in Guangdong, and even Chen Zizhuang, as the Prime Minister, never clear the way when he went out.

Wang Xian, who was crowded in the crowd, had no choice but to watch Li Chengdong's team get closer and closer. If they are allowed to enter the city gate, everything will be finished. Wang Xian was so anxious that he took out a grenade bullet on his body, ignited the fuse and threw it out, hoping to give Li Chengdong a warning.

The development of the matter was the same as Wang Xian expected. Li Chengdong, who was already in a precaution to Tong Guonai, immediately stopped after hearing the explosion. The Qing army, who was ambushing in the city gate, began to fight out after receiving the order from Tong Guonai, and for a moment, the streets of Dongcheng were in chaos.

The Jinyiwei is not an organized army, and its individual combat effectiveness may be far greater than that of ordinary soldiers, but this kind of emergencies is completely unprepared. The more than 300 Jinyiwei on the street were rushed by the crowd and immediately split into pieces. He watched the Qing army go down the Dongmen Street to chase Li Chengdong. When Wang Xian finally gathered the dispersed Jinyiwei together, half an hour had passed, and Li Chengdong's mansion was in chaos. Wang Xian knew that the Qing army was chasing Li Chengdong at the door of Li Chengdong's house. Wang Xian was afraid that Li Chengdong, the slaves from four surnames, could not resist the death, so he had to take less than 300 Jinyiwei who were gathered together to rescue.

After Li Chengdong separated from his son, he led his personal soldiers back to the mansion first with his horse speed and immediately ordered everyone in the family to be fully armed and ready to resist the Qing army's attack.

Zhu Yu had just sent his husband out of the city, but within a quarter of an hour he saw his own soldiers return to the mansion and began to prepare for the battle.

Zhu Yu was very worried about his husband, so he came from the backyard to the front yard to see his father-in-law Li Chengdong.

"Sir, what's wrong with this? What about Bo Yu?"

When Li Chengdong saw Zhu Yu coming out, he shouted: "What are you doing with a woman's family? The Qing Dynasty Tartars were about to attack our family. Bo Yu was out of the city to bring reinforcements! Go back to the backyard soon, the front yard will be opened!"

Zhu Yu was shocked, but he didn't expect that the peace talks with his father had started early before the Qing Dynasty was successful.

Li Chengdong looked at Zhu Yu and said, "Daughter-in-law, since you marry my son, you are from my Li family. If you don't do it later, I hope you will die for the feud!"

Zhu Yu nodded firmly when he heard Li Chengdong say this, "Don't worry, father-in-law, daughter-in-law will definitely not embarrass the Li family!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu, who was usually weak, could say this. Li Chengdong was very surprised. He nodded and called two soldiers to protect Zhu Yu and return to the backyard.

At this time, the Qing army outside the gate had arrived, and three thousand people, led by the commander, began to attack the Li Mansion.

Li Chengdong occupied a yard of a wealthy businessman at that time, and it occupied a large area, but the wall was not very high, only two meters high. The Qing army outside the door didn't have to work hard at all, and they all climbed up the wall with ladders. Originally, the Qing army commander thought that the battle was very simple, with only five hundred people on the opposite side, and three thousand people on his side, so it would be a matter of minutes to eliminate them. But just as the Qing army climbed up the wall, the yard started shooting arrows, and the first Qing army on the wall screamed and fell down.

Although Li Chengdong did not agree to the conditions in Guangdong, he knew that he had a bad relationship with Tong Guonai and was afraid that Tong Guonai would catch him first. So he prepared a large number of bows and arrows in his mansion early, and he also brought in two bed crossbows guarding the city, which was just in handy at this time.

When the Qing army commander saw his man being shot to death, he scolded his subordinates for being useless and ordered something to break open the door of the mansion.

The Qing army demolished a shop next to it and removed the beams of the house to be used as siege hammers. Ten people carried the beams and ran into the mansion door.

Li Chengdong inside was prepared for a long time. This guy had fought a lifelong battle and had a rich practical experience. After returning home, he used a bunch of rocky seats and benches to fill the door to death, so the Qing army outside the door hit him for more than a dozen times and was useless at all.

At this time, Tong Guonai brought Tong Tuchang to Li Chengdong's mansion. Seeing these Qing troops colliding with the door, Tong Guonai couldn't help but curse the Qing army commander's trash.

"You idiot, you have fought with me for half a lifetime. Can't you tell me that the door is blocked inside? You won't even bring people to the wall!"

That commander was awakened by Tong Guonai, yes, you can hit the wall by blocking the door. This kind of courtyard wall is not a few meters thick, but this kind of courtyard wall only has two layers of bricks, and you can knock it down in a few strokes.

Li Chengdong, who was in the courtyard, heard that the people outside the gate began to prepare to hit the courtyard wall, ordered his personal soldiers to give up the courtyard wall, gathered in the courtyard, and prepared to fight with the Qing army.

The Qing army outside the door carried the beams and chose a spacious place on the courtyard wall beside the gate to start hitting the wall. As Tong Guonai said, a large hole was installed in a few seconds after a few steps of the ordinary courtyard wall, and the Qing army who had been waiting around began to rush into the yard.

As soon as the Qing army entered the yard, they were driven out by two bed crossbows. The crossbows were 1 meter long and the arrow rods were as thick as children's arms. As soon as they entered, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were in great trouble. Because the break was narrow, the Qing army squeezed together. Each crossbow shot many people like a candied haws. The heaviest arrow nailed the three Qing soldiers to the wall. However, it was too troublesome to hang the crossbows on the bed. It took less than five or six minutes to deal with it. The remaining Qing army rushed in under the time difference. Seeing that the distance was too close, the bows and arrows could no longer be used, so they had no hand-to-hand combat. Li Chengdong waved his waist knife and rushed forward.

Li Chengdong's personal soldiers knew that if the Qing army rushed in, they would be killed, so they followed Li Chengdong and rushed forward with all their lives.

At this time, there were not many Qing soldiers entering the yard, only more than twenty. There was Li Chengdong's opponent, and they were soon killed, and the remaining few were driven out of the yard.

Li Chengdong was not happy at all when he saw the Qing army retreating. He knew that the opposite side was just temporarily retreating. Whether he could live today was all on his son Li Yuanyin. If he could not lead the army to save him in time, he would have no way to die.

Things were as Li Chengdong thought. The Qing army, who was driven out of the yard, lined up under Tong Guonai, waiting to break out of the wall to break out more gaps, and rushed in and kill them in one go.

The number of Qing soldiers was too large, and five more gaps were quickly opened on the courtyard wall. This time, Li Chengdong could not resist at all. Li Chengdong could only retreat to the second floor of the courtyard under the protection of his personal soldiers.

At this time, Zhu Yu in the backyard heard the sound of killing in the front yard, and was nervous, not knowing whether her husband could come back to save him. At this time, many people were turning in outside the yard wall. These people were Ding Wei leading the Jinyiwei lurking in the city. Their order was to take away Princess Yuyang.

Now the Li family is in chaos, and someone is there to care who comes in. Ding Wei and more than 100 subordinates climbed over the wall and found a servant to ask about Zhu Yu's residence, and came over quickly.

When the two personal soldiers guarding Zhu Yu saw a large number of people rushing into the yard, they thought the Qing army had attacked, so they quickly pulled out their swords to prepare for the battle.

When Ding Wei saw these two personal soldiers, he shouted: "Don't do it, I am from Guangdong, we want to meet Princess Yuyang!"

Zhu Yu heard someone in the yard call him to sign his account. When he left the door, he saw someone who was standing in the yard and didn't know all kinds of clothes, but each of them was holding swords and guns.

"I am Princess Yuyang, who are you?"

Ding Wei saw a young woman calling herself Princess Yuyang, so he felt relieved. As long as he rescued the princess, he would be a great achievement.

Ding Wei stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, bowed and said, "Your Majesty Princess, the villain is a hundred households of the Jinyiwei. The governor of the Qing Dynasty was going to attack Li Chengdong. The villain was ordered to lead people to rescue the princess first!"
