After Hu Yongwei ordered them to go to the backyard to execute all Zhu Shu's children, and he wanted to go to the front yard to execute Zhu Shu, he turned around and headed to the front yard. But just as he turned around and walked a few steps, he heard
The sound of weapons breaking through the air came from behind.
Although Hu Yongwei had never fought, he was good at martial arts. He dodged the weapons coming at him from behind, then turned to look at these people who were in the same camp as him just now, and said angrily: "You are
Do you want to betray Lord Lu Yuan?"
The leader said: "Master Lu Yuan is indeed very kind to us, but now Qingzhou City is about to be destroyed, and the imperial court's counter-rebellion army is about to invade. Listen, there are faint shouts from all sides.
Killing sound. Now execute Lu Yuan’s order and execute these clan members of the Ming Dynasty. They will definitely die!"
"And not only will we die, but our whole family will die as well. Although we feel sorry for the long journey, we don't want to die yet!"
"Hu Yongwei, although Lu Yuan saved your life, there is no need for you to sacrifice your life for Lu Yuan like this, especially now, no matter whether you betrayed Lu Yuan or not, Lu Yuan will still die, so you should be like us and don't do anything for Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan worked hard." Because Hu Yongwei was good at martial arts and it would be very troublesome to kill him, they were actually unwilling to continue fighting with him.
Hu Yongwei let out a "poof" and said, "I'm not as shameless as you guys." Then he picked up his knife and rushed forward.
These people had no choice but to start fighting with Hu Yongwei. With so many of them, they should be able to take down Hu Yongwei quickly, but the problem is that Hu Yongwei has a knife in his hand, and at this time, he is waving the knife in his hand crazily as if he is dying.
knife.
They were not willing to sacrifice their lives to capture Hu Yongwei, so they never captured Hu Yongwei.
However, perhaps Hu Yongwei's determination is infinite, but his strength is not. After waving the knife in his hand for a while, his strength was obviously exhausted, and then the people surrounding him saw the opportunity.
Cut off the hand holding the knife.
Hu Yongwei screamed, but then waved his left hand as if he wanted to pull a backrest before dying. But unfortunately, these people were also good at martial arts. It was completely impossible for Hu Yongwei to pull a backrest when his weapon was lost.
After being stabbed in the back again, he could no longer hold himself up and lay down on the ground. After that, several people slashed him a few more times. Although they did not hit the vital point, there were so many wounds on his body and he was bleeding profusely. Unless it was a blood transfusion, otherwise
It is no longer possible to continue living.
In the end, Hu Yongwei seemed to be talking to himself or murmuring to someone: "Lu Yuan, I can't repay you in this life. I'll repay your great kindness in the next life."
Several people who watched Hu Yongwei die breathed a sigh of relief. One person said: "What should we do next?"
Another person said: "Just persuade the guards stationed here to surrender to the imperial court like us, and then wait here for the imperial army to arrive. Looking at this posture, the imperial army can enter the city today."
"By the way, your family members must be well hidden. Although the imperial army cannot be like bandits, even the generals cannot restrain the soldiers when they first enter the city. It is bound to be chaotic for a while, and your family members must not hide themselves.
Be careful of getting killed."
Since it is suddenly difficult for them to get rid of Hu Yongwei and return to the court, of course their family members have already been hidden. Although they can only hide for two or three days, it is estimated that order will be restored in the city after only one or two days of chaos.
, they are not worried either.
After that, they split up to persuade the people guarding Prince Qi's Mansion. The shouts of killing became clearer and louder from all sides. The die-hard rebels were in the minority after all, so the guards all decided to join the imperial court again.
Although the current guards of Qingzhou City do not even have a commander-in-chief, Qingzhou is a big city after all, and there are two layers of inner and outer walls, so it is not so easy to defeat the inner city.
These people were bored waiting at the door of Prince Qi's Mansion, so they started chatting among themselves. One person said: "Tell me, what reward will we get if we rebelled against the rebels and saved the lives of Prince Qi's family?"
Another person said: "It's hard to say. After all, we have acted rebelliously before, and King Qi is about to be deposed from the throne. It's hard to say how much credit we have."
Another person said: "Why don't we go to see King Qi and try to make a good impression in front of him?"
The man who spoke in front said again: "King Qi has been deposed, so what's the use of trying to impress him! It's just a useless effort."
The man argued: "That's not necessarily the case..."
They were arguing when they suddenly heard shouts of death coming from all directions from far to near, and suddenly it became much clearer.
One person immediately said: "It seems that the outer city has been captured! Once the outer city is lost, the inner city cannot be defended for long. It is estimated that the imperial court's counter-rebellion army will attack here soon."
Hearing this person's words, the other people straightened their postures unconsciously, as if everyone from the imperial court who came to take over Prince Qi's Mansion had already arrived.
However, it was true that not long after, the shouts of killing suddenly became much louder, and various cries came from all directions: this meant that the inner city had also been breached.
Several people and the guards guarding Prince Qi's Mansion adjusted their clothes, and all stood up, waiting for the people who came to receive Prince Qi's Mansion: For such an important place as Prince Qi's Mansion, the imperial court would have specially sent people to take over.
Sure enough, not long after, a group of troops arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion before the rebels came. This group did not start fighting immediately after seeing the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion being guarded. Instead, one person shouted loudly: "Resistance is a dead end.
Ichijo, why don’t you surrender quickly!”
A few of them immediately threw down their weapons, walked out of the door, and then knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, we are willing to do whatever it takes! We are willing to take responsibility for our crimes!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi and several princesses and princesses are imprisoned in the Prince of Qi's Mansion. The rebels just came and ordered the execution of the King of Qi. We killed the people who came to deliver the message and protected His Highness the King of Qi and several princesses.
imperial clan."
They immediately showed off all their achievements.
The man who came out to shout just now was a little surprised, then returned to the team and said a few words to a young man, and then came out and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Liao has an order for you to lead the way to meet His Highness the King of Qi, and send
Someone led the way to the palace where King Qi is. If you dare to make the slightest mistake, you will be punished by death!"
However, these people did not immediately stand up and lead the way, because the person from the court just now said that His Highness the King of Liao had an order!
