"Don't miss an inch of space here!" Nanchen generals shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the brigade rushed into each house and tent, searching carefully.
Pei Zilie, holding a sword, frowned slightly and looked around cautiously.
"General Qi, everyone in this room has escaped." A general stood helplessly in front of Pei Zilie. Finding nothing in this room obviously made him feel ashamed.
Pei Zilie nodded. After all, they had been delayed for so long before the fire. These Xiliang royal families were not fools. It was normal for them to run away. What's more, Pei Zilie did not gain anything at all.
Just behind Pei Zilie, several Xiao Kui's princes and nephews were standing together tremblingly, with fear on their faces.
Although Xiao Kui himself was not caught, these were not small fish or shrimps.
"Where is Li Shizhong?" Pei Zilie looked around and saw Chen Zhishen and even Li Ping, but not Li Xingchen.
Chen Zhishen and the others also gained something. Xiao Kui's concubines were crying in front of General Nan Chen's spear. Their movements were obviously not as fast as Xiao Kui's, and they naturally fell behind. After hearing what Pei Zilie said, Li Ping looked back.
Take a look.
Li Xingchen walked slowly over with a girl in his arms.
"Female family member?" Pei Zilie couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Li Xingchen. Judging from Li Xingchen's careful look, he probably wasn't just a female family member, but also had an unusual identity.
Li Xingchen carefully put the girl down, but did not push her into the concubines: "Yes, I just don't know her identity."
Then he looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really complete. It seems that Xiao Kui abandoned his wife and son this time."
Pei Zilie helplessly spread his hands: "But these people are not as precious as Xiao Kui after all. That is the biggest fish."
Li Xingchen winked at Li Ping, and Li Ping hurriedly took a few steps forward to catch the bewildered girl. Li Xingchen was able to escape and walked straight to Pei Zilie: "Have you searched the entire area?
"
"Huh?" Pei Zilie frowned, "What does this sentence mean?"
Li Xingchen tapped the palm of his hand lightly: "It's been a while since we entered the city. Now there is no news from Boqing in the north of the city. And you see, these people did not run away after all, they were even hiding in the houses.
Or even get caught without any help..."
"You mean Xiao Kui didn't escape either?" Pei Zilie also looked surprised.
Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It is common sense among military strategists to attack a city with three and one missing. We attacked the city from the south and east of the city, and there were also soldiers and horses in the west of the city responsible for the feint attack. In fact, it was equivalent to besieging three and one missing.
Well, if you were Xiao Kui, would you break out from the north gate?"
Pei Zilie was startled for a moment. Pei Zilie knew about Xiao Kui, and he could be considered a tycoon. Otherwise, he would not have been able to manage Xiliang like this through the cracks.
After all, the Northern Zhou Dynasty's imperial admiral never failed to make suggestions that Xi Liang be swallowed up in one go. Xiao Kui was able to single-handedly keep the entire Xi Liang safely under the wings of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, while maintaining its independence.
He is not an idle person either.
Pei Zilie would have to think carefully when encountering such a situation. The enemy has not come from the north, so the possibility of setting an ambush on the north gate road is obviously very high. If he breaks out directly from the north gate, he will undoubtedly fall into a trap.
Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie understood this, and so did Xiao Kui.
What's more, to be honest, Xiao Kui's escape was not just once or twice, and his ability to escape must not be much different.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded. Xiao Shilian quickly rushed to Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie with a person in his arms. Before they could say anything, he threw the person to the ground, turned over from the horse, and first
He went up and kicked the man who was struggling to get up to the ground, and then said angrily:
"This guy is a fake. I was so happy when I saw him."
The man was still wearing a dragon robe, but his hat had been thrown away a long time ago. It rolled around on the ground. His clothes were covered with mud and dust, and his hair was disheveled and looked miserable. Pei Zilie frowned and said:
"Bo Qing, how did you know he was an impostor?"
Xiao Shilian shrugged, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man's crotch: "This kid was so scared that he peed when we just met him. Do you think the Emperor of Xiliang would have such a virtue?"
Xiao Kui is such a majestic person. He has never been seen in big scenes and fought on the battlefield. He will definitely not pee his pants immediately when meeting him.
"Masters, please forgive me, please forgive me!" The man hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "I was just following orders, please forgive me."
"Who are you?" Li Xingchen frowned, "Get up!"
Li Ping and others took a step forward, aiming their swords and guns at the man. The man hurriedly got up and said with a grimace: "Little one, little one is just a eunuch following His Majesty."
As he spoke, he took off his already dirty dragon robe, revealing the eunuch's clothes underneath. As if he noticed that Li Xingchen and others still didn't believe him, the man simply untied his belt and let his trousers slide down his legs.
A smooth leg slid down, and Li Xingchen and the others no longer needed to ask what was going on underneath.
The crying female relatives next to them also heard the noise here, looked over one after another, and then let out screams one after another.
"Pull it down and chop it!" Li Xingchen waved his hand in disgust.
"Shizhong..." Xiao Shilian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Li Xinchen, but was pulled by Pei Zilie instead. Pei Zilie winked at Xiao Shilian. Although Xiao Shilian didn't know what the two of them were planning, but
Still stopped.
The eunuch was obviously startled, and when he saw Li Ping walking up with two people, he was obviously serious about it. He didn't even have time to grab his pants and knelt down on the ground again: "Everything this villain knows..."
····You can tell the generals and ask them to be merciful!"
Li Xingchen took a step forward, took the knife from Li Ping's hand, and put it directly on the eunuch's neck: "Since you also know that your life is in our hands, tell us everything you know, otherwise we will kill you.
life!"
"Yes, yes!" The eunuch suddenly trembled and wanted to kowtow.
"Don't waste time!" Pei Zilie snorted coldly, and immediately looked around. Xiao Kui's wives, concubines, and nephews also lowered their heads. They didn't know anything, and they might not even have the means to save their lives.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, ah, no, no, no, it was the traitor Xiao Kui who led us to break out to the north of the city. However, everyone was quickly dispersed due to fire and chaos. Only the villain was still following Xiao.
But in the end, he said that it was not safe to go directly north, so he had to change clothes with the villain and let the villain go north, and he returned to the city."
