Li Yi was galloping on his horse, escorted by his own soldiers.
He had never ridden such a fast horse in his life, and it seemed that his internal organs were about to be knocked out, but the whip in his hand kept falling, urging the horse to go faster and faster.
The cold winter wind was howling in his ears, but Li Yi's face was covered with sweat, dripping down the sides of his ears.
He didn't know how far he had run, nor how long it would take before he saw Yu Zai, who was coming to meet him. He could only urge his horse to gallop.
Until he suddenly heard a scream coming from behind him, and the sound of new horse hooves seemed to be mixed in behind him.
Li Yi looked back in panic.
One of the staff members was lagging behind. At this moment, he was hit by an arrow in the back and fell off his horse!
Looking behind the staff member who fell from his horse, Li Yi was horrified to find the figure of his pursuers.
How could he catch up so quickly!
He couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but become more frightened. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive the horse faster.
He didn't want to stop, but soon he couldn't.
While running for his life, it was difficult to take care of the defense behind him. More than ten of the soldiers he brought with him were shot down by arrows one after another, so they were forced to defend and fight.
Those people rushed over quickly, and the two sides started fighting.
Li Yi brought a hundred soldiers, while Chang Suining only brought thirty people, including Vice General Jin and A Dian, but the latter was menacing and unstoppable, and they were both elite soldiers. For example, A Dian, if opened
Fighting, this is a mere hundred people, not enough for him to beat alone.
Moreover, it is not difficult to imagine that now that they have arrived, more pursuers will inevitably follow!
Thinking of this, Li Yi was extremely panicked.
"...Coach, follow me quickly!"
The staff's voice rang in Li Yi's ears, and while Chang Suining and others were being blocked by the soldiers, the two rode their horses towards the dense forest beside the trail on one side.
The trees in the forest were in disorder, and there were dry thorn bushes everywhere. Not even a road could be seen. Seeing that it was impossible to move the horse, the staff made a decision immediately: "Commander, hurry up, abandon the horse and enter the forest!"
At this time, there is no other choice. Fighting hard is obviously not possible, and escaping is bound to be impossible. If you can hide, there may be a glimmer of hope!
Li Yi, who had no idea at all, could only obey and hurriedly dismounted.
The aide whipped the horse's belly, and the two horses quickly neighed and galloped away along the trail to confuse the pursuers.
Li Yi and the staff went into the dense forest with wild vegetation.
The forest was very large, and as the two of them walked through it, their robes and uniforms were torn by branches covered with sharp thorns.
Not far away, Li Yi suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside the forest. His feet suddenly stopped and he subconsciously held his breath.
It won't come, it won't come... They should follow the tracks of the horse's hooves and chase after him!
He kept thinking silently in his heart, wishing he could kneel down and pray for God's blessing.
Soon, the sound of the horse's hooves became distant and softer, until it completely disappeared.
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the staff's arm: "...Did you hear that they left?!"
The staff also felt relieved and nodded with him.
However, the next moment, there was a sound of grass and trees being moved behind him.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of footsteps stepping on dead leaves.
Li Yi's face hardened, and his heart suddenly dropped rapidly - someone was coming!
Will it be his?
He was extremely looking forward to this possibility in his heart, but he did not dare to test it out loud, so his staff hurriedly pulled him over.
Most of the grass and trees have withered in winter, but the dense forest here has uneven terrain, and it can still be covered by the withered grass that is half a person's height.
The two of them crouched down and hid, not even daring to make a sound of breathing.
Soon they heard an innocent voice.
"Little A Li...are they really hiding here?"
"Not sure, but let's have a look." Chang Suining looked around and walked forward.
A Dian walked in front of her, wielding his sword to cut off the thorny branches that were in her way, his eyes filled with eagerness to try: "Little A Li, how did you know that I like to play hide and seek the most!"
Hearing these childlike words, Li Yi almost cried - he didn't like hide and seek, especially the kind of hide and seek where you would die if caught!
Judging from the sound of horse hooves disappearing just now, we can tell that the opponent must have split into two groups, chasing them along the tracks of the horses' hooves, and searching in the forest all the way...
In other words, they were divided into three groups. The sounds of fighting on the other side could still be heard faintly. It should be that the people he brought were still resisting and blocking them.
At this moment, Li Yi only hopes that he will not be discovered, or that his people can escape quickly and come here to save him!
His staff just hoped that he would stop shaking so violently that the plants and trees around him would tremble!
Fortunately, there was a sound of wind in the forest, covering up the small movements on their side.
Li Yi looked through the gap in the bushes and quickly confirmed that there were only two people on the other side!
One big and one small, walking forward.
Li Yi didn't dare to express his anger. Just when the two were about to leave his sight, he suddenly saw the younger one stop.
"Little Ah Li, what's wrong?" A Dian asked hurriedly: "Have you found them?"
"Not yet, but I am convinced that they must be hiding in this forest." Chang Suining looked forward and said: "This forest is too big. We don't know when we will find it. You can call us after you go out."
Some people come over and search together."
Although A Dian wanted to continue his hide and seek, he still nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll call them!"
After taking two steps, he turned back and told Chang Suining: "Little Ah Li, your kung fu is not good, so be careful!"
In his eyes, Chang Sui Ning still can't beat him. He is not taller and not as strong as him. Compared to him, his kung fu is indeed inferior, but he only has agility.
Chang Suining smiled at him: "Well, then go and come back quickly."
Ah nodded and started running quickly.
Chang Suining looked away, the smile in his eyes faded, and he continued to look like he was searching, walking forward slowly.
The forest is too big and the view is not wide. It will take too much time to search like this.
So, she wanted to find another way, such as throwing a fish bait in.
Seeing that figure walking away, Li Yi was anxious and his eyes were surging: "Who is she? How can there be such a little girl in Chang Kuo's army?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The other party has sent people out to call for people. When there are more people, they will search him out sooner or later!
Combined with the girl's previous act of reading out the imperial edict, he has already guessed her identity. If this person is really the person he guessed, it would be better to take this opportunity to hold the other party hostage... On the contrary, it can also buy a glimmer of life!
He might be frightened when facing other people, but the person in front of him was just a frail little girl.
The staff member lowered his voice and said: "This should be Chang Kuo's daughter. I heard it is her..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yi suddenly jumped up and ran towards the girl's back with a knife in hand.
The staff member's pupils were shocked - I heard that she was the one who killed Ge Zong!
He hasn’t finished speaking yet!
There was a look in Li Yi's eyes that he was determined to win.
He had also heard about Chang Kuo's daughter killing Ge Zong, but he never really believed it. Chang Kuo had always doted on his daughters, so what kind of lie could he tell?
Just rely on such a little girl who has been raised in a boudoir in Beijing to kill Ge Zong?
It makes people laugh out loud!
Even if it is, it is probably because Chang Kuo escorted Ge Zong to his daughter and specially asked her to kill him to make her famous!
And he has been a military attache for many years, so he has some skills.
Coupled with the natural physical suppression of men and women, it was difficult for him to take this girl seriously.
But the girl didn't seem to notice that he was approaching at all, and was still walking forward unhurriedly.
Li Yi didn't stop and raised the knife in his hand.
But he didn't intend to hurt the other party's vital parts, he also wanted to leave her breathing as a hostage to help him escape!
However, just when his knife was about to get close to the girl's shoulder, he suddenly saw the other girl's footsteps stop.
Then, the girl suddenly turned around and jumped up. At the same time, she raised her right leg and swept towards him, kicking him on the neck and jaw. His vision went dark, his body suddenly tilted, and the knife in his hand flew out.
Immediately afterwards, he barely had time to react before he was pushed to the ground by the flying opponent.
The girl knelt on his back and removed his right arm with a click!
Li Yi let out a scream that echoed through the entire dense forest.
He struggled to raise his head, but she hit the injured jaw hard with her elbow. His jaw immediately became crooked and dislocated, and blood came out of his mouth.
When the jaw is hit hard, people are easily dizzy. When Li Yi was so dizzy from the pain, he only had one thought in his mind - what the hell is this... "You're not good at kung fu, you have to be careful"?!
Who is the person who should be careful?
The staff who witnessed this scene trembled all over.
What on earth is the coach doing!
It’s not good to hold someone hostage, why can’t I think of holding her hostage!
This is like choosing a sky-cutting sword from a pile of scrap metal to compete with yourself, and accurately selecting the only underworld road from a hundred roads that can lead directly to the Palace of Hell!
I rushed to kill myself!
The staff member could only think of the word "It's over", but he also realized that the girl just dismissed the helper, probably deliberately luring the snake out of the hole... She was trying to save trouble!
Just when Li Yi ran out, Chang Suining had already heard the noise. At this moment, she stopped Li Yi and glanced at the hiding place of the staff.
Meeting that look, the staff was startled and did not bother to save Li Yi. They got up and ran away.
Chang Suining didn't even chase him, he just pulled Li Yi up from the ground.
Li Yi continued to struggle, spitting out a mouthful of blood foam, and said in a vague voice: "You..."
Chang Suining looked at him funny: "Do I look easy to bully?"
He probably spent all his life's courage on rushing out to attack her just now.
A Dian rushed back as quickly as possible, and quickly ran over with five or six people. He was shocked to see that Li Yi had been found by Chang Suining - the hide-and-seek ended too quickly!
Chang Sui Ning pointed him in the direction: "There is another one."
A Dian was like a round-headed hound, he immediately started chasing him.
Chang Suining led others to drag Li Yi out of the woods.
A Dian quickly carried the staff member out.
More than half of Li Yi's hundred men have fallen. At this moment, Li Yi was captured, and the rest either fled or surrendered after losing their weapons.
Li Yi was escorted by the two men and fell to his knees. Chang Suining held a short knife and walked towards him.
Li Yi turned pale and shook his head tremblingly at her.
"How about I ask and you answer?"
"...Okay!" Li Yi nodded hurriedly: "You ask! I'll tell you everything!"
"Who guided you to defect to Xu Zhengye?"
"...A long time ago, it was Xu Zhengye who sent me a letter first!" Li Yi said, suddenly looking at the staff: "Later...it was them who persuaded me to cooperate with Xu Zhengye and trapped General Chang Da.
Yu Hezhou, they asked me to do this too!"
Chang Suining glanced at the aide and asked: "How did you learn about the empress' change of command in advance?"
Lao Chang was put under house arrest in advance and arranged to kill He Wei. Li Yi was obviously well prepared for Yi Shuai's incident.
"Someone sent me a letter... that person told me in the letter!" Li Yi said all at once: "He also told me who were the spies placed by the saint around me... so that I
Get rid of it as soon as possible!"
"That person..." Chang Sui Ning narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is he?"
"I don't know!" Li Yi looked into her eyes and shook his head in panic, crying together: "I really don't know!"
Chang Sui Ning didn't know whether to believe it or not: "You don't know who the other party is, but you dare to do it as you believe it. Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of?"
"I have no choice!" There was a hint of hatred in Li Yi's eyes: "...it was a saint who crossed the river and burned the bridge. As soon as her father dies, she will take back the military power!"
And if he makes a mistake in using his troops, he will be severely punished afterwards!
He has had enough of being bullied since he was a child!
"I only know this much... What happened to General Chang Sui was because I was obsessed for a moment and listened to their instigation. I already know that I was wrong. Don't kill me. Please don't kill me!" He began to ask Chang Sui.
Rather beg for mercy.
The commander of an army begged a girl for mercy. This scene seemed sad and pitiful.
Chang Suining looked at his pitiful appearance with a sneer.
She once felt pity for Li Yi who was bullied by the princes, and even helped him when he was young.
But not all poor people will grow up with a kind and soft heart that "do not do to others what you don't want others to do to you"; they will also become pitiful and hateful evildoers.
If he hadn't been restrained, Li Yi would have kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Chang Suining unsheathed the short sword in his hand.
Li Yi's breathing stopped and his mouth opened slightly. He was overwhelmed by the huge fear and could not speak.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his eyes and looked forward and to the side.
He heard the sound of horse hooves!
This direction... won't be Chang Kuo's people, but the direction where Yu Zai and others will rush to take over!
Is Yu Zai here?!
"You can't kill me anymore, my reinforcements have arrived!" His lips trembled and his voice fluctuated: "Otherwise they won't let you go!"
Reinforcements?
Chang Suining turned around and looked.
Soon, reinforcements arrived behind her. It was Chang Ren and Mrs. Shepherd's Purse who pursued her with hundreds of cavalry.
The people coming in front were huge, and they were clearly attacking from a large army. If they were to hit them head-on, they would not be something that just a few hundred people like her could handle.
But it doesn't matter, Li Yi is in her hands.
After Lao Chang stabilizes the situation there, he will soon lead his troops.
But first she wanted to see if those who came were reinforcements from Li Yi.
The leading scouts of the army in front discovered their presence and quickly reported it to the leader.
Not long after, a group of forwards appeared in the sight of Chang Suining and others.
Their military uniforms are indeed those of the division led by Li Yi, and they must be the same 80,000-strong army that was sent to Yangzhou before.
Li Yi looked extremely surprised, his eyes were blazing, and he stared at the direction of the army for a moment, trying to search for Yu Zai's figure as soon as possible.
But he hasn't been able to see the person he wanted to see.
Until a man and a horse appeared in the opponent's army, slowly driving their horses towards him. They were clearly wearing civilian robes.
He was a young man with fair complexion and eye-catching handsomeness.
Li Yi, who just had a look of hope on his face, suddenly froze and said in disbelief: "Wei... Wei Shuyi?!"
