Chapter 235: Encircled
In a col on the western outskirts of Yecheng.
It is densely wooded and rocky, and it is the easiest to hide.
Gu Tianlan hid 5,000 people in this dense forest. These 5,000 people, including the original Gu Jiajun and Gongsun Yi's people, are all good hands here, and they have the skills to fight against a hundred.
"Li Ye took the expedition in person and led an army of 20,000. There are only 5,000 guards guarding Yecheng. Yecheng is simply an empty shell, which can be broken with a single blow. Gu Tianlan said.
Gongsun Yi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Mochizuki, who was originally extremely powerful, was broken apart step by step like this, and in the end, he was able to seize the Li family with only 5,000 people.
"Wang Yangyu and Zhao Li are in charge of the country, Wang Yangyu is loyal to Li Yejing, but he is a civil servant, there is nothing to be afraid of, Zhao Li is our person, and Mochizuki is simply in our bag. Gu Tianlan said.
She suddenly couldn't wait to see such a scene - Li Ye returned from the battle and saw that her country had changed hands. At that time, I don't know how he felt.
What Gu Tianlan has to do now is to wait, waiting for Li Yejin's 20,000 troops to leave Yecheng, waiting for Zhao Li to kill Wang Yangyu and welcome them into the city.
Jinghua Palace.
Ling Jing was trapped in Concubine Min's palace as a hostage. It's just that her life is leisurely, and during this period of time, her figure is a little rounder, her abdomen is slightly bulging, and she can already see that she is pregnant.
Ling Jing felt the strange changes in her abdomen, and she was full of anticipation every day, in addition, what she was happiest about was that Zhao Li would come to see her once in a while.
Today is the day when Zhao Li enters the palace to see her.
Concubine Min actually didn't understand why a beautiful and gentle girl like Ling Jing would like such a wicked person as Zhao Li. Zhao Li's age is not to mention her two rounds, she has a gloomy face all day long, exuding a cold air all over her body, that face is definitely not handsome, only the figure is okay. What she didn't know was that when the two of them were alone, Zhao Li would put away the coldness and gently stroke the head of the person Ling leaning on in her arms, and there was an indescribable intimacy between the two.
Zhao Li and Ling Jing stayed quietly for a moment.
"Pack up and get ready to leave the palace. Zhao Lidao.
Ling Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she could see her brother, but she had a new distress: "Then what should you do?"
"Li Yejin has already taken the imperial expedition, and this Yecheng will soon change hands. Zhao Lidao.
"After Sister Ah Lan takes control of Mochizuki, can you leave this place of right and wrong and live in seclusion with me?" Ling Jing's eyes shone brighter.
Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
A cheerful smile flew on Ling Jing's face, and she quickly got up and cleaned up.
Leaving with Ling Jing was Concubine Min.
After the two men finished packing, they got into a carriage that quietly led to the outside of the palace.
Zhao Li watched the figure of the carriage disappear completely in the dark, and then turned to leave.
Zhao Li walked briskly towards the outside of the palace. His hands were stained with blood, and he had always been fearless, but he was a little uneasy at this time. Zhao Li's mind flashed Ling Jing's face, perhaps because of concern.
Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion.
Wang Yangyu is the emperor's confidant.
Regarding the imprisonment of the country with Zhao Li, Wang Yangyu has a lot of dissatisfaction. In his eyes, Zhao Li is the traitorous villain. It's just for the sake of Mochizuki's stability that he endured his evil anger. He is a civil official, and Zhao Li still has a certain deterrent effect.
As soon as Wang Yangyu walked out of the gate of the mansion, before he stepped into the carriage, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of black-clothed people.
The man in black closest to him put the knife around his neck.
Wang Yangyu's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted: "Who are you? Bold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black parted ways, and a man walked up to him, his lips pursed, and his face revealed a fierce anger.
"Zhao Li!" Wang Yangyu couldn't help but feel a chill behind him when he saw him, but he still had the courage to ask, "What are you going to do?!Are you going to rebel?"
Wang Yangyu's voice fell, and the person holding the knife suddenly exerted force, and blood spurted out.
Zhao Li looked at the person who fell to the ground, and his face couldn't help but change. Because it was not Wang Yangyu who died, but his people.
Zhao Li turned around and found that he had been surrounded. The emperor who was supposed to drive the expedition walked out of the shadows, with a cold smile on his face, making Zhao Li feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Zhao Aiqing, I really didn't expect that you would be her person. Li Ye said cautiously, his voice was faint, but his eyes burst out with heavy hatred.
When Ji Yingshao said that Zhao Li was Gu Tianlan's person, he didn't believe it.
Zhao Li was pulled up by him. When Li Yejin saw him for the first time, he felt that there was a ruthlessness in his eyes, and he wanted nothing but power. And in this world, only he can give him endless power.
Zhao Li is a good chess piece. He didn't disappoint him. Zhao Li eradicated dissidents and consolidated power for him, but he bore all the infamy.
Later, Zhao Li had a weakness. Such a cold-blooded and ruthless person would like a woman. This is a good thing for Li Yejin, and he is more at ease to use this chess piece. What he didn't expect was that Zhao Li would actually be a member of the Gu family.
If it weren't for Ji Yingshao's appearance, I'm afraid that when he returns, Yecheng will already be Gu Tianlan's. Li Ye felt scared for a while when he thought about it.
This feeling of betrayal by someone he trusts is like a fire burning his heart.
He glared at Zhao Li viciously, eager to break him into pieces. He took two breaths and swallowed the urge - it was not the time.
The night was getting deeper, and the darkness was a good cover for ugliness and sin.
Gu Tianlan and Gongsun Yi approached the gate of Yecheng with 5,000 soldiers, waiting for the final blow.
A glimmer of light pierced the sky, leaving a trail in the starry sky, and quickly vanished.
This is a signal sent by Zhao Li, and soon, the gate of Yecheng will open.
After a while, the gates opened slowly with a muffled sound.
In the middle of the night, Yecheng was plunged into a strange tranquility.
Gu Tianlan's heart jumped violently, as if he was uneasy or excited. The moment she died from Azure Town, she didn't want revenge all the time. As long as she captures Yecheng, then Li Yejin will lose his last place to live, and if he loses Yecheng, he will be like a homeless stray dog, living in panic. At that time, she was completely avenged.
Gu Tianlan rode his horse towards the city, the soldiers guarding the city were sleeping deeply, listening to the sound of horses' hooves before slowly waking up, and when they were completely awake, many of them had already ridden into the city.
As soon as Gu Tianlan entered the city, she felt countless pairs of eyes staring at her, and those eyes emitted the light of wolf eyes in the darkness, which made her creepy.
Gu Tianlan couldn't help but look at the people around her.
Gongsun Yi also sensed something strange.
Gongsun Yi's face changed, he subconsciously pulled out the knife, and said loudly: "Retreat!"
However, it was already too late.
Suddenly there was a bright light at the city gate, and the liquid with a strong smell poured down from the top, and quickly solidified, and the soldiers who had just arrived at the city gate did not even have time to let out a scream, and they lost their lives and completely solidified there.
The liquid instantly solidified into a solid, forming an immovable and solid city gate, cutting off Gu Tianlan and Gongsun Yi's retreat.
There were about 100 people entering the city.
Those eyes hidden in the shadows came to the light, forming an encirclement.
Gu Tianlan saw Zhao Li.
Zhao Li was still dressed in black, his tall figure stood there, his lips were tightly pursed, and his ugly face had no expression.
Gu Tianlan read pain, shame, remorse, and helplessness from him.
Zhao Li knelt down in her direction, tears falling from her eyes.
Ling Jing's screams seemed to ring in his ears, he remembered her smile, so innocent, but now she had to face those inhuman tortures.
"Zhao Li, save me!" her expression was terrified, and she cried out uncontrollably.
Ling Jing's terrible cry caused his cold heart to collapse completely. At that moment, Zhao Li gave in to Li Ye.
Gu Tianlan already understood everything.
They have been tricked, this is a bureau, please enter the urn. Li Yejin did not drive the expedition in person, and was waiting for her to fall into the net at this time.
Her gaze swept over a place, where a figure appeared. Li Yejin was dressed in armor and rode on a horse, with a victor's smile on his face.
Li Ye stepped forward, looked at Gu Tianlan, and then at Gongsun Yi: "I didn't expect such a surprise." ”
His purpose was originally Gu Tianlan, but now he sent a Gongsun Yi. It was a real bonus.
Gongsun Yi, infatuation also has to pay a price. Since you have chosen a beauty, not a country, then I will fulfill you.
If Shuoyun's group of soldiers sharpening their knives knew that their generals fell into their hands for the sake of beauty......
Li Yejin's jealousy of Gongsun Yi suddenly disappeared, and his mood became very good.
His choice is right, Jiangshan and beauty, he chooses Jiangshan.
Li Ye waved his hand, and the dense crowd surrounded Gu Tianlan, Gongsun Yi and a group of soldiers in the middle. Li Yejin waved his hand again, and those people raised their swords and stabbed at them.
The people brought by Gu Tianlan are all elite soldiers, but one punch is difficult to defeat four hands, and Li Yejin has too many people. The sharp sword pierced into the flesh, blood rained down on the face, and the smell of fishy heat penetrated into the nostrils, making people feel the urge to gause. The soldiers around Gu Tianlan fell one by one, and in the end, only she and Gongsun Yi were left.
The two of them were back to back, drawing heat from each other.
Li Ye looked at them condescendingly.
The sword in Gu Tianlan's hand was thrown on the ground, and he raised his head to look at him: "How did you know Zhao Li's identity?"
This is where tonight's turn of events comes in. Li Yejin was supposed to drive the expedition in person, but after knowing Zhao Li's identity, he saw through her plan, and then stayed.
"Not only Zhao Li, but many, many people. What I got was a list of people from your Gu family. I didn't expect that there were so many people who took care of the family around me. Li Ye said with emotion. It's no wonder why he and Gu Tianlan's game, he will lose in the end.
Li Yejin watched Gu Tianlan's expression turn from white to pale, and there was a strange pleasure in his heart.
"Lan'er, I will find out the people on the list one by one, this is your gift to me, I will definitely treat them well. Li Yejin's eyes shone with bloodthirsty light.
