In an alley in the capital, Li Chengzheng led a group of imperial guards out of the city.
At the front, the person in charge of sealing the city was Niu Yi. He looked at it intently, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Commander Li, the emperor has decreed that the city is sealed, and no one is allowed to approach the city gate!"
"I came back from Chuzhou not long ago and lost something outside the city. Please Brother Niu, please be accommodating!"
"That's... okay, then go and come back quickly." Niu Yi nodded, not embarrassing his own people.
"Thank you." Li Cheng clasped his fists and walked quickly towards the city gate.
Relying on his status as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he has passed several levels. Now that he has passed this level, he can successfully reach the city gate!
But before they had gone far, a man dressed as a servant suddenly ran up and spread the message: "The emperor has issued an urgent decree that the entire city is under martial law. No one is allowed to leave the city. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy! Kill without mercy!!"
Hearing this, Niu Yi's expression changed, and his eyes fell on Li Cheng and others who had not gone far.
Li Cheng also changed his expression and said, "Let's go!"
Immediately, everyone ran towards the city gate.
"Commander Li, don't run!" Niu Yi was anxious and quickly led his men to catch up, trying to prevent Li Cheng from leaving the city.
Li Cheng and others ran very fast. The gatekeepers at the city gate looked at the guards chasing each other and looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Li Chengcheng, who was all the way away, shouted: "I am the commander of the left guard of the Imperial Guard. I have been ordered to leave the city. Get out of my way!"
"Can't give in, can't give in!" Niu Yi shouted.
"You are not allowed to leave the city. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!" He Chengyun's servants also gathered around him.
The people guarding the city gate then made up their minds and blocked the door with their horses to prevent anyone from going out.
At this time, Li Cheng and others were made into dumplings.
Not far away, Song Lingxi's figure appeared. Seeing the figure covered in black robes standing behind Li Cheng, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Cao Zhi is indeed here, capture it for me at all costs!"
With an order, all the servants stepped forward.
Without hesitation, Li Cheng raised his knife and brought it down. Two servants fell into a pool of blood.
All the imperial guards followed suit and drew their swords with murderous intent.
The war is about to break out, and both sides are fighting fiercely at the city gate!
Song Lingxi shouted: "Commander Niu, why don't you take action?"
Niu Yi didn't want to draw a sword against his own people, so he had no choice but to persuade: "Old Li, don't be stupid! We are all citizens of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Don't kill anyone, put down the sword first!"
While Li Cheng was chopping, he shouted: "Niu Yi, Duke Dingguo He Chengyun intends to rebel. I have been ordered by Divine Doctor Shen to appease King Jing Nanqin. Now I am killing all the rebels! As a member of the Imperial Guard, why don't you take action?"
help me!?"
When Niu Yi heard this, he was stunned.
Song Lingxi narrowed her eyes, suddenly pulled out her sword, stepped forward quickly, and slashed at Niu Yi with one sword!
At this moment, a loyal soldier jumped out and blocked Niu Yi's sword.
Song Lingxi said fiercely: "Commander Niu, what are you waiting for? Do you want to listen to this guy's nonsense? The sealing of the city is an imperial edict from the emperor! Who of you dare to disobey!!"
Blood was sprinkled on Niu Yi's face, and his originally dull expression suddenly became fierce. At this moment, he made a decision and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth:
"Grandma, you dare to kill my brother?"
"Do you want to rebel?!" Seeing Niu Yi's fierce look, Song Lingxi retreated hurriedly.
"I am avenging my brother!" Niu Yi drew his sword and said angrily: "Brothers, help Commander Li get out of the city!!"
The Imperial Guards were so excited that they all took action to kill the servants of He Chengyun.
"Rebellion, you are all rebelling!!" Song Lingxi cursed and ran away in a hurry, and asked: "Have all those people who went to see the speech come back?"
"They're all on their way back!" replied the servant next to him.
Today Shen Yunfan gave a speech in the capital prison, which attracted many people to join in the fun. Otherwise, Song Lingxi would not have only this few manpower.
in him
Under the summons, those people are rushing back.
Now, more and more servants are coming to support. Niu Yi sees that the situation is not good and shouts: "Commander Li, you take the people out of the city first, and I will help you intercept the pursuers!"
"Then be careful." When Li Cheng knew it was not his mother-in-law, he rushed out of the city gate with his people.
"Hahahaha, remember to take credit for me when the time comes!" Facing more and more servants, Niu Yi looked determined, "Brothers, it's time for us to serve the country!"
…
After Li Cheng and others left the city, they ran as fast as they could.
The location where the Royal Forest Army is stationed is still several miles away from the capital on a mountain road. Moreover, He Chengyun's 10,000 personal soldiers are stationed outside the city, so the situation is still dangerous.
The 10,000 soldiers obviously received the news, so they divided into small groups and came out to search and intercept.
Li Cheng and others could only take detours in the mountains and forests, and when they encountered those who could not escape, they rushed towards them, and the group almost became red-eyed.
While resting in a dense forest, looking at the dozens of remaining brothers, Li Cheng had no choice but to use the strategy given by Shen Yunfan before leaving.
After reading it, his eyes lit up and he started making arrangements...
After about half a cup of tea, it was getting dark and the group of people ran out of the dense forest again.
This time, they ran faster, taking advantage of the darkness and heading straight for the Imperial Guard's station. The group's charge was extremely ferocious, and it was obviously a last ditch effort!
But even so, when they arrived at a mountain depression, they were still surrounded by hundreds of people.
Song Lingxi's face turned pale as she chased him. At this moment, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "You little mice are quite capable of running away."
"You're a pig, you're pretty good at chasing!" Li Cheng laughed loudly and wiped off the blood on his hands and the handle of the knife.
"Kill them all, leaving no one alive!" Song Lingxi's face was gloomy.
Hundreds of soldiers gathered around and fought for a while before Li Cheng shouted: "Doctor Shen is right, you are indeed the Zheng army. Your moves and swords are all in the style of Zheng!"
"So what?"
"We are very good at killing Zheng people!" Li Cheng gave an order, and the Imperial Guards all lined up.
During those days on the front line, they fought with the Chuzhou army and learned many tactics used on the front line.
Now that they are using it, they have the upper hand for a while!
"We can't delay it any longer." Seeing that she couldn't take it off, Song Lingxi was a little anxious, so she whispered a few words in the ear of a commander nearby.
After a while, the commander led a group of soldiers and rushed forward with a fierce momentum.
Just when Li Cheng and others were preparing to meet the enemy, the enemies suddenly dispersed and then bypassed Li Cheng and others from different directions!
"It's bad, they want to kill Master Cao!!" Li Cheng's face changed drastically.
