After Xu Du failed to rob the camp, he fled in panic from the side door of the military camp in the school field. There were also many Yiwu regiment training soldiers who were trapped inside the military camp and could not escape. All of a sudden, they lost control and organization. Under Gao Qian's counterattack,
He quickly became a prisoner and prisoner of officers and soldiers.
Chen Zilong, who was guarding outside the military camp, saw the defeat of the Zhejiang soldiers from the heights of the restaurant. His shock and anxiety were completely displayed on his face and expression. His hands were tightly holding the hilt of the sword, with blue veins popping out. It was obvious that Chen Zilong
I never thought that the Xudu Jie Camp would develop into the current situation.
From this point of view, although Chen Zilong and Xu Du are both famous scholar elites in the southeast, they are young and lack experience. When the development of things suddenly derailed and was beyond the control of Chen Zilong, Xu Du and others, they took the opportunity
The ability to adapt and face crisis situations is far inferior to that of Gao Qian, a famous general who has been transferred successfully several times.
After Xu Du escaped from the barracks, luckily he didn't lose his mind and forgot about Chen Zilong who was still guarding the restaurant. He rushed into the restaurant in a panic with several powerful gangsters as guards, and saw that Chen Zilong was still there.
While waiting here, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it! Is my head still there?"
Xu Du's helmet was knocked off by the enemy soldiers in the chaos of the battle, and even his bun was scattered. His face was also covered with black ash from the smoke of the fire in the military camp. His face and expression looked panicked and embarrassed.
He touched the back of his neck and said to Chen Zilong with a look of tears on his face: "The situation is over, the situation is over! General Yuan asked Gao Qian to be killed. We really worked in vain and got ourselves into trouble."
In desperate situation."
"What! Yuan Shizhong is actually dead!"
When Chen Zilong heard the news, his heart immediately turned upside down. The robbery of the camp had obviously failed, and Yuan Shizhong was dead, so what was the point of them taking such a risk to attack Hou Xun?
What shocked Chen Zilong even more was the second piece of news Xu Du said later.
"Not only is General Yuan dead, but during the chaos, we also accidentally killed Hou Zhitai and General Yu!"
Snapped!
Chen Zilong, who was out of control, punched the table, knocking all the porcelain plates and cutlery that had been neatly arranged on the table to the floor. Amidst the crackling sound, Chen Zilong felt dizzy, and a strong nausea suddenly surged in his chest.
Unable to bear it, he held on to the railing of the restaurant and retched for a while, then asked Xu Du bitterly:
"Did you read that correctly? Hou Zhitai and Yu Zongbing are both dead. How could the Yiwu soldiers be driven out of the Xiaochang military camp by Biaoying?"
Xu Du helplessly replied: "It's Gao Xietai. He took over the troops of Hou Zhitai and Yu Zongbing. When the governor attacked, the Zhejiang soldiers were in panic and couldn't resist at all. I was in a hurry and ran away in panic.
I came out and ran to you to take a breath and regroup."
"Where's Mi Zhi? Where's Ming Bo?"
"They..." Xu Du bit his lip and said uneasily, "The war is in chaos. The situation is so chaotic that I didn't see clearly what happened to the two of them..."
"Ah! Isn't that a bad thing?"
"The military camp in the school field was filled with smoke. Later, the Zhejiang soldiers were defeated. I, I... I was only focused on escaping for my own life, and I didn't even pay attention to them..."
Xu Du's face was pale, his eyes were red as he spoke, and he was filled with regret. Halfway through, his voice even choked up: "I...I'm sorry for Mi Zhi..."
Outside the restaurant, the Zhejiang soldiers had been completely defeated, and there were regiment training countrymen throwing away their helmets and armor and running away everywhere. Chen Zilong was disappointed when he saw such a tragic failure. He clenched his fists and lamented:
"We instigated Mi Zhi to participate in this matter. He could have stayed out of the matter, but how could he have suffered such a result? It was all caused by my selfish interests. I was blinded by my desire to protect Xuzhou's fame!"
"My dear, what else can we do now? Gao Qian seems to regard us as rebels and is going to kill us all."
Xu Du was worried, and Chen Zilong looked around, equally bored, so he could only say reluctantly: "Let's go back and destroy the general garden now, gather some soldiers and horses, and guard the garden. Then we will try to wake up Shi Gong. If it is true as you said, Hou Zhitai has already
If he is dead, then Shi Gong is now the most powerful person in Xuzhou City. Once Shi Gong comes forward to intervene, things may turn around slightly."
Xu Du was so desperate that he couldn't think of any other way and could only agree to this strategy: "At this point, there is no other way. I can only hope that Shi Gong will wake up soon!"
"Without further delay, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Xu Sheng, we will go back to the General Suppression Department immediately."
Chen Zilong was purely a scholar and was not as good at riding, shooting, or fighting as Xu Du, but at critical moments he was much calmer and calmer than Xu Du. After all, Chen Zilong had served as a promotion official in Shaoxing Prefecture, and had seen many big scenes and experienced
After going through many hardships and trainings, when things suddenly happened, he was much more calm in dealing with things than Xu Du, who had always traveled around the world.
Although Xu Du has been involved in the Jianghu for many years, the so-called Jianghu is actually just a small network composed of some party leaders and salt merchants. It cannot be compared with the battlefield fighting with real swords and guns.
Although he has a reputation as a hero in the martial arts world, when he was placed in Xuzhou City and commanded the regiment to train troops, he was certainly no match for Gao Qian at the critical moment.
Although Gao Qian has been defeated in many battles, since he has been able to "successfully advance" from powerful enemies such as the Chuang Kou Donglu every time, with his courage and talent, and the strength of his men, of course he is not like Xu Du who sharpens his skills in battle.
Temporary workers are comparable.
"Now that things have happened, what is there to say? If we can escape guilt and avoid death, we will definitely avoid Jiangnan and no longer participate in court affairs."
Xu Du has an upright and tough personality, but as he has not been tempered by the world, when he encounters a setback, his temperament undergoes a 180-degree change, and he immediately changes from the upright and tough side to the timid side.
This cannot be blamed on Xu Du. After all, he is young, has never participated in officialdom, and has never handled real business. Although he has suffered such a big setback, this is not a chance to improve and hone Xu Du's own character.
What about the chances?
Chen Zilong grabbed Xu Du and prepared to escape back to the Suppressor's Villa. He placed his hope in Shi Kefa's idea. Although it was better than Xu Du who was like a headless fly, he was actually not much better.
Even before the robbery of the camp, could Shi Kefa have been able to control Gao Qian?
What's more, after the failed camp robbery, Hou Xun and Yu Yongshou died unexpectedly one after another. Gao Qian suddenly took control of most of the troops in Xuzhou City, his strength increased dramatically, and he also grasped the righteousness of conquering Xu Du and Chen Zilong.
status.
Under such circumstances, if Shi Kefa recovers from illness and wakes up, will he be able to check and balance Gao Qian?
Chen Zilong's thoughts are just wishful thinking.
Fortunately, as soon as the two of them rushed out of the restaurant with their entourage and escort, they bumped into Fang Yizhi and Li Yuan who broke out from the military camp in the school field. Chen Zilong was overjoyed to see that Fang Yizhi was fine and couldn't help but
She hugged him into her arms and said with tears in her eyes:
"Keep it secret, keep it secret! You are safe and sound, I finally feel relieved!"
When Fang Yizhi saw Chen Zilong and Xu Du here, he felt relieved. He pointed at Li Yuan and said, "The Zhejiang army was defeated and the incident happened suddenly. Thanks to Brother Mingbo for saving me from danger."
Xu Du said with a look of shame on his face: "I was the one who escaped before the battle... Oh! Gao Qian led his troops to attack, and the mountains were overwhelmed and the sea was overwhelming. I actually lost my position. I, I... I wish I could stab myself twice."
Chen Zilong frowned, looked at the murderous and capable soldiers beside Li Yuan, and said doubtfully:
"These people... seem to be neither Yiwu soldiers nor the standard battalion to suppress the general. Brother Mingbo, where did you get such a capable army?"
Chen Zilong's question also made Xu Du curious, while Fang Yizhi stayed silent and said nothing. He already had a guess that was very close to the truth about the origin of Li Yuan's soldiers, and even about Li Yuan's true identity.
"These are my family's business travel guards. They have traveled all over the country and have quite a lot of experience... I'm sorry, what are you going to do now?"
Li Yuan gently changed the topic to the other side, while Xu Du told Chen Zilong's plan truthfully:
"Gao Qian led his troops to cover up the attack. The Zhejiang army has been defeated. We can't resist his offensive anyway. For now, the only way is to withdraw to the Suppression General Villa. If we wake up Shi Gong, ask him to come forward.
By communicating with Gao Qian, we may be able to reverse the crisis."
