Runzhou City is not peaceful tonight. The bustling night market in the past has dispersed early, and the people are hiding in their homes, feeling uneasy.
On the deserted street, several figures suddenly appeared speeding around.
The Crown Prince of Guizhou was grabbed by the shoulders by an old man, his face was extremely gloomy, and he said angrily: "Who leaked the news?"
The Xiao family is the royal family of the Liang Kingdom. Only they and the heads of the four major families know about the rebellion in Runzhou. If someone had not leaked the news, how could they have been defended by the city tonight before they were ready for the uprising?
The army surrounded Xiao Mansion?
A middle-aged man asked: "Could he be from the four major families?"
"It can't be them. Their participation in the rebellion is already a major crime against the Nine Tribes. They are in the same boat as us and will not do anything to seek death." Bai Jin thought for a while and said: "Junior Sister Gongsun has also arrived in Runzhou.
, she is now working for the imperial court, and the Xiao Mansion has no secrets in her eyes."
"Gongsun Ying!" The old man was startled when he heard this and said angrily: "This traitor actually became a lackey of the imperial court!"
The Prince of Guizhou gritted his teeth and said: "When we arrive in Taizhou, gather the troops from these states. I will slaughter all the officials in Runzhou and hang the traitor's head on the city wall!"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Bai Jin looked at him and said, "The messengers sent by the prince to Taizhou, Yuezhou and other places have not come back yet. Gongsun Ying must have solved the poison of those people. Let's go to Taizhou.
It’s just asking for death!”
"Wha, what?" After suffering major blows one after another, Prince Qian was a little confused, and he couldn't accept this fact for a while.
They had worked hard in Jiangnan for more than ten years to become the power they are today. They finally waited for this opportunity and their dream was about to come true. But now Bai Jin told him that all their efforts were in vain, and all their hard work was in vain.
His head was buzzing, and he couldn't express the tightness in his chest, and his face turned red...
boom!
The old man struck Prince Qian on the back with his palm. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and felt much better in his chest.
The old man looked at him and said solemnly: "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Your Majesty, you are still young and have a long future. A temporary setback is nothing. We will definitely help you regain the pillars!"
The Crown Prince of Guizhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and said: "It's late, this junior has learned a lesson..."
He looked at Bai Jin beside him, with a trace of regret on his face.
After tonight's incident, he realized the importance of Bai Jin. Although he was unwilling to accept Jiangnan's incident, he still looked at her and asked: "Bai Jin, in your opinion, what should we do next?
"
Bai Jin said: "The prince will return to Guizhou first. We have been in the capital for many years. Even without Jiangnan, I can provide you with enough money and food. The prince can use this money and food to recruit troops first and wait for the time to come..."
The Crown Prince of Guizhou bowed his hand to her and said: "From now on, all your hard work will be in vain..."
Bai Jin said: "Reviving Daliang is the prince's greatest wish during his lifetime. Bai Jin will definitely go all out!"
The middle-aged man looked around and suddenly said: "No, Senior Nephew Su didn't catch up!"
Bai Jin looked calm and said, "Don't worry about her, she will be fine."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "If she falls into the hands of the government..."
Bai Jin explained: "She has a close relationship with a court official, and he won't do anything to her."
"Is it the adulterer?" Prince Qian's expression changed: "Did she leak our affairs?"
The failure of the Runzhou uprising was within her expectation. Su Mei or not, it would not affect the outcome of the incident. Therefore, Bai Jin did not stop her actions. At this moment, she looked at the Crown Prince of Guizhou.
, said: "Let's talk about these things after we escape!"
Thinking of Su Mei, Prince Qian was filled with hatred, but he didn't say anything more. After all, she was already a dead person in his eyes.
He looked forward and said: "The East City Gate is ahead, let's hurry up!"
"Wait a minute!" Bai Jin stopped, looked ahead, and said, "Go to the South City Gate."
This is the closest to the East City Gate. It takes a long way to go to the South City Gate by taking a detour. Prince Qian asked in confusion: "Why?"
"If someone leaks the news, I'm afraid there will be changes at the East City Gate." Bai Jin said: "If we go there now, we are throwing ourselves into a trap. It will be safer to go through the South City Gate."
After Jiangnan was completely hopeless, Bai Jin had obviously become the backbone of everyone. The old man just hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Go to the South City Gate!"
…
When Tang Ning and a thousand city defense troops arrived at the east city gate, Captain Chen had already been captured. The five hundred defenders here were standing neatly, and it didn't look like anything had happened.
Tangning looked at a Blade member who stayed here and asked, "Isn't anyone here?"
The young man cupped his hands and said, "Sir, no one is coming tonight."
Of the four city gates in Runzhou, Prince Qian thought he controlled the east gate, so the troops at the east gate were the strongest. If they tried to force their way through, they would immediately be shot to pieces by the five hundred defenders.
In comparison, the troops at the west, south and north gates were much weaker. They came from the northwest, so it was unlikely that the other side would run back. Tangning turned around and looked at the other side.
On the other hand, he said: "Go to the south."
Runzhou, South City Gate.
Most of the hundreds of guards guarding the south city gate had fallen to the ground. There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, but everyone was unconscious.
The figures on the opposite side were also very miserable. Among the people who escaped from the Xiao Mansion, three of them had been shot into hedgehogs and died. Although the Crown Prince of Guizhou was unscathed, the old man was hit on the shoulder.
Arrow, he broke the arrow body, took the horse Bai Jin led over, got on the horse, and whispered: "Let's go!"
Including the Crown Prince of Guizhou, there were only four of them left. Bai Jin and a middle-aged man each snatched two horses from the carriage shop at the gate of the city, one for each of the four people.
In Zhoucheng, it will be difficult for those behind to catch up.
Several figures were chasing from behind, and further away, there were city defense troops holding torches.
Tang Ning and Old Zheng Gongsun Ying walked in front of everyone. When they arrived at the South City Gate, they looked at the corpses on the ground, then looked up, but did not see Su Mei. He finally looked at Bai Bai who was riding a horse.
Jin asked: "Where is Su Mei?"
"So you are the adulterer!" Bai Jin didn't answer. Prince Qian turned around and looked at Tang Ning, with a look of resentment in his eyes, and sneered: "Don't worry, you can see her when you go back."
The corpse..."
Bai Jin's complexion changed drastically. He looked at the Crown Prince of Guizhou and said angrily: "What?"
"I poisoned her drink." The pursuers in the rear were still far away, and they were able to escape smoothly this time. The Crown Prince of Guizhou looked at Bai Jin expressionlessly and said, "Su Mei and others will die unjustly. It's a pity that this
I left in a hurry this time, otherwise..."
He sneered, looked beside him, and said loudly: "What are you doing standing still? Let's go!"
Although the middle-aged man also had a look of surprise on his face, the pursuers were approaching at this time. He and the old man clamped their horses' belly tightly together and galloped out of the city gate.
Tangning stared blankly ahead and said in a hoarse voice, "Old Zheng."
Lao Zheng sighed and took out the butcher's knife from his back. The next moment, a silver light flashed in the night.
At the gate of the city, the horse under the Crown Prince of Guizhou neighed and fell to the ground.
The Prince of Guizhou was caught off guard and fell from his horse. Before he could get up, someone grabbed his neck from behind and walked back step by step.
The old man and the middle-aged man did not expect this situation and hurriedly turned their horses' heads to step forward to rescue him.
Lao Zheng turned around and took a look. The horse under them suddenly let out a long neigh, raised its front hooves high, and did not dare to take another step forward.
The two fell from their horses. After landing, they stood up straight and looked ahead. There was only one person in front of them, but they seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and a god of death standing in the mountain of blood.
Lao Zheng threw Prince Qian to the ground. Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What did you just say? Say it again..."
