Chapter 1,453

The soldier shook his head: "Master An should go to Pingzhen. The rebel Liu Jun over there is said to have captured King Pingnan. Master An should go to save King Pingnan!"

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment. She didn't know about An Zhe's progress in quelling the chaos after leaving the palace. She never expected that King Pingnan would be arrested.

"Where are General Luo and General Ji?"

Ling Yu thought of the two generals assisting An Zhe and asked again.

The soldier looked at Ling Yu suspiciously, probably not expecting this young merchant to know the imperial general so well.

But in the face of the fierce look put on by Tao Zi and his party, the soldier said sarcastically: "General Luo was sent to Guangwu to quell the rebellion by the new imperial envoy, and General Ji was sent to attack Shao Mingjie!"

Ling Yu frowned when she heard this. The newly appointed General Fang was from Zhao Hui. Xiao Lintian had told her before.

An Zhe is now an important person who holds evidence of the crimes committed by Master Zhang and his party. King Pingnan was captured by Liu Jun. General Fang did not want to save King Pingnan, but sent away Luo Han and Shao Mingjie who could help An Zhe.

Do you want both the An family and his son to die at the hands of the rebels?

Ling Yu asked the soldiers politely, "You all know that Mr. An is still alive, why are you still helping the villain?"

The soldier smiled bitterly: "I didn't know before that General Yang asked us to attack Xingyang, and we all obeyed the order!"

"Later they were defeated and dispersed. General Yang died, and we realized that we had been fooled! We were not in the mood to continue fighting, so we ran away!"

"Some soldiers have been surrendered by Mr. An. We are afraid of being punished by Mr. An, so we can only find our own way out!"

Ling Yu already had an idea in his mind. Hearing this, he said, "Why don't you take the blame and make meritorious service? To be honest, this general was sent by the emperor. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I guarantee that General An will not punish your crimes!"

"You go out and ask. Anyone who is willing to join me, the general, should gather here!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

The soldier answered honestly: "Li Kai!"

"Li Kai, my general's surname is Ling. You all have military memberships. If you become a deserter, you can only hide. If you are caught, you will be beheaded."

"The general now gives you the opportunity to redeem yourself and perform meritorious service. As long as you follow my general, you can continue to serve in the army with integrity!"

Ling Yu's persuasion made Li Kai tempted, and he immediately ran out to persuade his companions to submit.

After a while, there were forty or fifty people summoned by Li Kai.

Seeing that Li Kai was so capable, Ling Yu immediately appointed Li Kai as the squad leader and asked him to divide the team into several teams and then lobby other deserters.

At the same time, Ling Yu also handed over the search for Ling Wan to Li Kai and asked them to gather everyone to join him in Pingzhen.

After Ling Yu made arrangements, she took Tao Zi and the others to Xingyang.

Xingyang County is still heavily guarded and outsiders are not allowed to enter at all.

There is a row of archers on the city wall, aiming down.

Ling Yu and others stood outside the shooting range on horseback. Ling Yu asked Tao Zi to call the door.

Tao Zi yelled angrily from below: "Please tell me, we are Lord An's subordinates and want to see Lord Cao!"

Tao Zi called out more than ten times before Cao Qiang appeared on the wall, looked down coldly, and said: "Master An is not in the city. I told you, don't try to trick us into opening the city gate like this!"

Ling Yu asked Tao Zi to ask for a meeting with Master Lin. She wanted to meet this Master Lin, but when Cao Qiang heard that he wanted to see Master Lin, his face dropped and he went back directly.

Ren Taozi called more than ten times, but Cao Qiang never came out again.
