Zhu Tianjiang and others climbed up the mountain road to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was not large and covered with a temple. The person guarding the temple was an old man. There was a lot of noise down there just now, which woke up the old man watching the temple. Before the old man could make a choice,
When I came out with a lantern, the temple door was smashed with a stick by a bull.
The old man was so frightened that he thought he had encountered a bandit, so he huddled aside and did not dare to make a sound.
Zhu Tianjiang looked around, then stepped forward and said, "Old man, don't be afraid, we are not bandits. Someone is chasing us down the mountain. Let me lend you this place."
The old man trembled and nodded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't have much money in the mountain temple. I have two bags of rice and noodles. If you want, take them."
"Old man, didn't I say that we are not bandits? Don't worry, I will compensate for the damage." After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he had no time to answer the old man.
Zhu Yi and Xia Qing quickly set up defenses on the mountain road. The seventh princess asked the injured brothers to go to the temple to heal their wounds. She and Zhu Tianjiang stood on the top of the mountain, looking down carefully.
Daniel led people to search the inside and outside of the mountain temple, and after confirming that there was no one else but the old man, he felt relieved and asked the injured brothers to quickly treat their wounds.
"Sir, the pursuers at the foot of the mountain are just blocked at the foot of the mountain and have not come up." Zhu Er ran up and said.
"Zhu Er, quickly send someone to look around to see if there is any other way up the mountain. Also, ask the old man, he should know best." Zhu Tianjiang whispered to Zhu Er.
Zhu Er agreed and walked towards the mountain temple. Zhu Tianjiang felt that the mountain wind was a bit cold, so he took off his cloak and put it on the seventh princess compassionately.
"Xiao Qi, after the brothers finish treating the wounds, you can go to the temple to rest. The brothers are guarding outside, and the officers and soldiers below will not be able to attack for a while. When daybreak, we will find a way to evacuate from the back mountain.
." Zhu Tianjiang gently held the seventh princess's shoulders and said comfortingly.
"Tianjiang, don't think of me so weak anymore. From the moment I followed you out of the palace, I am no longer a princess. No matter wind or rain, I will be with you." The seventh princess said to Zhu Tian
Leaning in Jiang's arms, she felt that this man's shoulders made her feel very at ease.
"Well, when we get to Qingcheng, I will make it up to you." Zhu Tianjiang said, lowering his head and kissing the seventh princess's red lips gently.
"Sir, can I have a conversation with you?" Daniel didn't know when he stood behind Zhu Tianjiang.
The seventh princess trembled slightly and shyly gave Zhu Tianjiang a shake. Even though it was at night, the seventh princess was not so thick-skinned.
Zhu Tianjiang rolled his eyes, "I'm telling you, Daniel, you're not afraid of corns. Tell me what's going on."
"Sir, good news. The old man just said that there is only one way up and down the mountain. As long as we guard the mountain path, the other party will not want to come up." Under the moonlight, Da Niu smiled and showed his white teeth.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. If this was really the only way, then they would be trapped here.
Zhu Tianjiang did not dare to neglect, and quickly walked into the temple to personally ask the old man who was looking after the temple. He also asked Daniel to take a few people to the back mountain to take a look.
After questioning and on-the-spot investigation, Zhu Tianliang's heart sank. At this time, Zhu Yi and Xia Qing came to the temple after setting up the warning. Knowing that they went up to an isolated mountain, Zhu Yi and Xia Qing felt tight in their hearts.
Zhu Tianjiang thought for a while and asked Zhu Er, "Zhu Er, can you still contact the brothers outside?"
Zhu Er shook his head in embarrassment, "Sir, we don't have Feiniao with us, so we can't contact our brothers outside."
Zhu Tianjiang frowned and was about to speak when Xia Qing said first, "Don't worry, sir. No matter how dangerous this mountain is, Zhu Yi and I can get out."
Zhu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled, "Yes, with the abilities of Zhu Yi and Brother Xia Qing, no mountain can trap them. Now, don't worry, everyone, I have a clever plan."
"
Zhu Tianjiang spoke loudly, and he was also trying to comfort everyone. In fact, Zhu Tianjiang had no plan at all now. Even if Zhu Yi and Xia Qing were able to get out, they would wait until Zhu Si finished delivering the news to Zhu Si.
It would take more than ten days at the fastest to lead the troops here to relieve the difficulties. And they lack food and drink on the mountain. I am afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain will be able to attack the mountain. Furthermore, Pengcheng Camp now also has
With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Zhu Si fought hard to save them. Even if he succeeded, the soldiers and horses would be almost exhausted. If he really wanted his brothers to sacrifice their lives to save him, Zhu Tianjiang felt that he might as well surrender voluntarily.
On the same night that Zhu Daguan was besieged in Xiaolong Mountain, figures one after another in the capital approached the general's mansion.
Compared with Zhu Tianjiang's Xiaolong Mountain, the weather in the capital city was covered with dark clouds, so dark that one could not see his fingers. This kind of weather was very suitable for assassination operations.
The General's Mansion is no longer as grand as it used to be. Ever since the old lady passed away and Guo Tianxin lost the trust of Emperor Chengwu, the outside of the Guo Mansion has become very deserted. In the past, there were eight palace lanterns hanging outside the door, which were particularly bright even at night.
It was bright. But now, there were only two white lights swaying in the wind. There was only an old man from the mansion in the concierge, and the other servants and guards were all sent back to their homes by Guo Tianxin.
From this point of view, Guo Tianxin has indeed lost the idea of making a comeback, and is ready to be an idler with peace of mind, waiting to grow old slowly.
Guo Tianxin was reading the art of war in his study. Although he had become an idler, the habits he had developed over the years had not changed. No matter when, Guo Tianxin still liked to study the art of war.
Snap, there was a slight noise outside. Guo Tianxin, who had been in the military for many years, raised his head alertly.
"Who is so bold that you dare to break into the general's mansion privately? Come on, get him!" An angry shout came from outside the door, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.
Even though Guo Tianxin no longer serves as the coach of the Zhennan Camp, his personal guards have always followed Guo Tianxin. No matter how Guo Tianxin persuaded him, his personal guard captain Su Long and 20 personal soldiers still stayed.
The angry shouts outside were caused by Su Long. Even though Guo Tianxin had become an idler, Su Long still followed the arrangements in the camp to protect Guo Tianxin's safety.
Guo Tianxin frowned, put down his military book and stood up silently. All the guards in the mansion have been dismissed. Currently, the only guards in the mansion are his own bodyguards of about twenty people. Guo Tianxin dismissed the guards in the mansion as a gesture to Emperor Cheng Wu.
.That means since we are all brothers from the same father, I might as well not even ask for a bodyguard. If Emperor Cheng Wu wants to kill you, you can kill me. If not, you have to protect me. Guo Tianxin did not expect that Emperor Cheng Wu could not kill him, Xuan Le
But he didn't let him go.
Su Long led twenty personal guards and began to fight fiercely with Xiyuan's dead soldiers. Even though these twenty personal soldiers were all heroes in the army who had fought bloody battles with Dang Yun Kingdom, they were still fighting with Xiyuan and other martial arts masters.
In comparison, the gap was still quite large. After a while, Su Long retreated while fighting, knocked open the study room and ducked in.
"Sir, we will protect you and rush out. You can't stay here any longer." Su Long felt that it must be a killer sent by Emperor Chengwu, so he could only fight his way out of the Guo Mansion first and maybe still have a glimmer of hope.
Guo Tianxin shook his head, "Everyone, please step aside and open the study door. I want to see who wants my life."
Guo Tianxin gave an order, and the soldiers who were fighting in the fierce battle quickly retreated to the study. Everyone opened the four doors of the study and stood in front of Guo Tianxin with weapons in hand.
A group of men in black clothes outside the door did not rush in immediately, but stood in the yard and looked at the study room warily. Guo Tianxin was not angry and assertive. The prestige he had cultivated over many years on the battlefield made these people somewhat intimidated.
At this moment, everyone in the courtyard moved to both sides, and a masked man came out.
"Guo Tianxin, you secretly colluded with the criminal Zhu Tianjiang to prepare for a rebellion. Today is the day you die." The masked man said coldly.
"Hmph, a person who dares not even show his face is not worthy of talking to me. Call your master out and tell me directly if you have anything to say." Guo Tianxin said disdainfully.
"Hmph, you don't deserve to ask our master to come and talk to you! There's no point in talking. We'd better see the real deal." The masked man didn't expect that the Guo Mansion was already empty. Just these twenty guards,
Not their opponent at all.
"Hmph! A group of young people, since I have the discretion to decide, let me start first."
Just when everyone was about to break out into a scuffle again, there was an angry shout from the eaves, and a figure flashed down.
The leader of the West Garden was startled. When he saw the face of the fallen man clearly, he was so frightened that he could not help but take a few steps back. The person who came was none other than the legendary figure of the Dafeng Dynasty ~ Lin Feng, the former Qinglong envoy of Nianzhan!
