Chapter 255: Retreat (2)
Outside the imperial city, under the vermilion high wall, Gu An had just found the signs of breaking the formation at this time, and heard Wei Chimu say in a low voice: "I have been discovered, do Mr. Gu want to gamble?" ”
Gu An was stunned when he heard this, looked around, and didn't see anyone, but he also believed that Yu Chimu had no reason to talk nonsense casually, so he said, "How does the prince want to gamble?"
"Since you can't break the formation in a short time, it's better to tie your hands and catch it. Yu Chimu hooked the corners of his lips slightly.
Gu An was surprised for a moment, even though he understood what he meant, he said with some hesitation: "Fang Qi, since they have obtained the imperial power, they must also have mastered the palace forbidden army, although I don't know the number of forbidden troops, but now that you and I are the two of you, I'm afraid it will ......."
"The number of forbidden troops in the Shengxing Dynasty is more than 20,000, although Fang Qi has a talisman in his hand and can command the forbidden army, but it is not really able to make the forbidden army willing to obey its orders, but it may not be, because although this forbidden army is loyal to the royal family, it should be loyal to the Xuanyuan royal family. "Wei Chimu is gambling, but this bet is also reasonable.
With the Jing army attacking all the way, it is true that the armies in many places have surrendered without a fight, and Gu An's allegiance to the army of the Shengxing Dynasty is the Xuanyuan clan, but his martial arts are mediocre, and he is not as confident as Yu Chimu.
"What the prince said is very true, but ...... After being captured, how can I get out of trouble?" "Gu An came with the Jing army all the way to help the Jing army break the formation, the most important thing is to hope that he can personally slash Fang Qi, if he is captured in the end, he can enter the imperial city because of this, but he is bound by Fang Qi, how to slash the enemy?
"Now that Fang Qi is at his wit's end, he finds out that we must want to capture us as hostages, and he doesn't dare to get rid of us easily, so those forbidden troops don't need to worry. "The forbidden army is only more than 20,000, but the Jing army attacking the city is more than 200,000, ten times more, he doesn't believe that the forbidden army of the Shengxing Dynasty can be so powerful that it can be ten enemies with one enemy.
And presumably Fang Qi also knew it in his heart, so naturally it was the best policy to keep them as hostages and leave a way back for himself.
"But it's up to the prince to decide. Gu An thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason, he also had some understanding of Fang Qi, capturing them as hostages was indeed something Fang Qi would do, and if they were taken hostages, Fang Qi would take them to escape from this imperial city, and on the way, they would have more opportunities to counter Fang Qi.
Gu An thought so, and Wei Chimu meant the same, he and Fang Xin had been brothers in Yasukuni for twenty years, he knew very well that Fang Xin was just a straw bag, mediocre martial arts, no wisdom and no courage, but Fang Qi definitely had to take care of his only son, so of course he had to make good use of Fang Xin to drag Fang Qi back.
Not long after, thirty guards suddenly appeared under the outer wall of the imperial city, which was originally uninhabited. This is precisely the subtlety of the Fang Qi Formation. They went around the imperial city twice, but because of the obscuration, they could not find the palace gate, and they could not even climb the wall with light skills.
Previously, Wei Chimu relied on his deep internal strength to sense that someone was approaching a hundred meters away but no one was seen, and at this moment, thirty guards suddenly appeared in front of him, and it can be seen that there must be a palace gate at a hundred meters.
"Who approached the Imperial City for no reason and reported his name?" the guard asked sharply.
Before they came to take people, they had already received the emperor's order, and they only had to take the people, but they could not kill them.
"We are the old friends of Your Majesty and the Emperor. Wei Chimu smiled lightly without hurrying.
The guards are in the imperial city all the year round, and they have not touched the war, and they can't see Wei Chimu, who is the commander of the enemy army, and although Wei Chimu lived in the palace of the Shengxing Dynasty for a period of time a few years ago, and he also knew Chi Xiaoman during that time, but after all, it was many years ago, and these guards were not the close attendants of Emperor Xuanyuan back then, so how could they know him?
Not to mention Gu An, he had never been to the Shengxing Dynasty before this.
"Friend or foe, please report your name!" said the chief of the guard forcefully.
"This is the way your country is hospitable?" Wei Chi Mu snorted coldly: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to know our name!"
As soon as the words fell, he immediately shot like lightning, and the long sword reached forward.
