Captain Huang suddenly appeared in front of the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion in a panic, which surprised them greatly.
According to the arrangements for tonight, Captain Huang should be inspecting various city gates in Qixian County at the moment. How could he come here in such a mess?
"Everyone has gathered. Assassins attacked at the south gate, and the defenders suffered heavy losses."
"Now everyone, follow me to protect the Governor's Mansion." How could Captain Huang say that he almost risked his life?
If he hadn't run so fast, his head would have been split into two pieces just like his horse.
That guy's strength...
Now that Captain Huang thinks about it, he feels a chill running down his back.
Soon a group of Zhechong Mansion soldiers gathered.
Except for some people who stayed with Ma Zhiyuan, all the remaining Zhechong Mansion soldiers gathered here.
"Everyone, the rebels outside the city have been let in. Now, follow me and go hang them." Huang Duwei shouted.
With the protection of so many people around him, Captain Huang is naturally confident.
A group of more than two thousand people rushed towards the Governor's Mansion in a mighty manner.
…
Ma Zhiyuan is sitting in the Qixian county government office.
In the distance, fire filled the sky at the Governor's Mansion, seeming to set half of the sky on fire.
The people were awakened by the fire. Many people came to the county government office to report the crime, but they couldn't even get in.
The people also knew that something unusual had happened in Qixian County, so they all hid at home and did not dare to go out.
"Master Governor, I don't know what the situation is over there now, but with such a fire, the Governor's Mansion should be completely burned down."
"As long as Lu Changshi and his people guard the door, the emperor will definitely die without a burial place." The Qi County official on the side said with a smile.
Not everyone wanted to be loyal to the emperor, not to mention that Ma Zhiyuan had forced them to sign a blood seal before.
If the emperor doesn't die, they should die!
"I hope that guy Lu Yifa won't make a mistake." Ma Zhiyuan said lightly, with worry in his eyes.
He was thinking, once Ma Zhiyuan really went after Zhao Chen and the emperor escaped with his life, what would they do?
The emperor has always been a merciful person when dealing with rebels.
"Since the Governor was worried that Lu Changshi would not act according to the arrangements, why did he still let him be responsible for burning down the Governor's Mansion?" Qixian officials didn't seem to understand.
He felt that he could handle this matter by himself.
And it will be even better than what Lu Yifa did!
"What, you want to replace Lu Yifa as the scapegoat for killing the emperor?" Ma Zhiyuan looked at the Qixian officials aside and said coldly.
The Qi County officials' expressions changed at that time.
He didn't expect that Lu Yifa was going to kill the emperor because he was going to be the scapegoat.
"Don't dare, don't dare. For such a big thing, we still have to go to Lu Changshi." Qixian officials accompanied him with a smile.
Ma Zhiyuan glanced at the Qi County officials, and then continued to look at the fire in the direction of the Dudu Mansion.
He was also worried at the moment, if something unexpected happened...
…
"Your Majesty, there are about twenty dead soldiers guarding the outside, which is a few fewer than before."
"If we rush out separately, we should be able to rush out."
The soldiers from the Beiya Forbidden Army came back to report.
The Governor's Mansion is very large, with a thousand dead soldiers guarding it, they can only barely manage it.
Lu Yifa took away 200 people, causing a lot of neglect in the defense.
Moreover, the fire spread and smoke was everywhere, making the dead soldiers guarding outside uncomfortable.
Especially the dead soldiers facing the wind direction were on guard from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
"Father, you decide from which direction we rush out." Li Ke looked at the emperor.
This is a life-and-death moment, and Li Ke is not capable of making such a decision.
At this time, the emperor also recovered from his worry about Zhao Chen.
The most important thing for them right now is to escape from here and find Zhao Chen.
"The five hundred people were divided into ten groups, and the five groups that went ahead were ready to rush out from five directions."
"They will definitely be attracted to it."
"At that time, when you are fighting with them, the remaining five groups will escape from other directions."
"If you can escape, return to Chang'an to find me, and I will personally welcome you home."
"If not, I will erect a monument for you in the mausoleum." After the emperor finished explaining to everyone, he said a few more words in a low tone.
Two people had died for them before.
But now, more people need to sacrifice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will risk my life to escort Your Majesty out." The soldiers of the Beiya Imperial Army said to the Emperor.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to shout something." Li Ke suddenly called to the Beiya Imperial Guards soldier and whispered a few words in his ear.
The soldiers of the Beiya Imperial Army left and took away 250 people, leaving only 250 people with the emperor.
"It's not good. Your Majesty killed the King of Shu and hanged him from the rafter."
A cry of surprise suddenly sounded in the governor's mansion that was filled with fire.
"Your Majesty is dead, let's escape quickly."
"Run away quickly, or you will be burned to death if you don't get out!"
A large number of Beiya Imperial Guards began to shout loudly.
The emperor looked at Li Ke.
"Father, this is to make them believe that the bodies inside belong to both of us." Li Ke explained to the emperor.
The emperor nodded with admiration on his face.
Soon, five teams of fifty Beiya Forbidden Army soldiers rushed outside from five directions.
Some went directly from the main entrance of the Governor's Mansion, and some climbed over the wall to get out.
The dead soldiers outside did not expect that so many people would suddenly rush out from inside.
There were about twenty of them, and they only had time to pull the crossbows in their hands and shoot down several Bei Ya Forbidden Army soldiers. Other Bei Ya Forbidden Army soldiers had already rushed in front of them.
"Support, come and support, they are about to rush out."
"Made, someone is coming quickly."
The dead soldiers also panicked, and they had no time to replace the second round of arrows.
The soldiers of the Beiya Forbidden Army rushed into the dead soldiers and fought with them.
Seeing this, the other dead soldiers did not dare to shoot arrows randomly.
We can only provide support from other directions.
But this played into the emperor's plan.
Listening to the deafening shouts of death outside, the emperor knew that the time had come for him to take action.
"There are five teams left. All of them will rush out from the main entrance with me."
"Everyone has only one goal, to rush out towards the south city gate."
"There should be no delay." The emperor said to a group of soldiers from the Beiya Imperial Guards.
Everyone remained silent and just nodded.
There should be no delay, that is to say, even if one of them is injured, the others should not turn around to save them.
Saving people means they are being slowed down.
This will make it difficult for everyone to get out.
"Li Ke, be careful when you go out later. I have to go back to Chang'an to deal with you."
"I will have to break your dog legs when the time comes." The emperor said to Li Ke and patted him on the shoulder.
Although it sounded like a reprimand, Li Ke knew in his heart that the emperor was caring about him.
"Everyone, get ready and rush out." The emperor waved his hand, hid among the soldiers of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, and rushed outside.
