Chapter 331: Rescue the Princess
γγγγγγγγγγ
"I'm not mistaken! Princess Locky has been captured in prison by your soldiers, and you don't know what will happen? In case the princess's innocence is tarnished, how will the king explain it to the saint? Yu Ming said loudly: "Xue Shixiong, you just throw a word: can't you open the city gate?" If you don't open it, don't blame me for being rude in the Liaodong Army! β
How dare Xue Shixiong open the city gate? Seeing this posture, he opened the city gate, and Liaoxi County was afraid that it would be changed to the seventh county of Liaodong. And Yang Guang appointed him as the county guard of Liaoxi and allocated 50,000 elite soldiers, hoping that he would block the gate of the Liaodong army to enter the customs. And explained again that if the Liaodong Army comes to attack, it must hold on and wait for reinforcements. How could he open the door to meet the enemy?
"His Royal Highness King Zhou, I'm sorry. I suspect this is an excuse you made to trick you into opening the gates. Xue advises you to withdraw! Send an envoy to me for counsel concerning anything in the future. Xue Shixiong said with a sneer.
He thought that Liaoxi County was also a strong city, and he had an army of 50,000 to defend it. And the Liaodong army under the city seems to be only 100,000, and it may not be so easy to break through.
Seeing this, Yu Ming waved his hand and shouted: "For the sake of the princess, this king can't care so much, pass on my order: start attacking!" β
After that, the Liaodong army sounded the horn of "woo-woo-woo", and then the officers and soldiers of the brigade rode high-headed horses and rushed towards the city gate.
Seeing this, Xue Shixiong was a little dumbfounded, secretly wondering if these cavalry could still go up to the city wall? Even if Yuming wants to attack the city, he should use infantry to build a ladder to attack the city.
Just when he was puzzled, the gate of Liaoxi County opened with a "creak", and then the iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army suddenly poured into the city with a shout.
Seeing this, Xue Shixiong was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and he shouted loudly: "Who opened the city gate? Didn't you call it off? β
At this time, his son, Xue Wanche, came to report with a sad face: "Father, something is wrong! The Liaodong army had already infiltrated the city. It was their people who were lurking in the city and raided the city gates. And the men and horses in our city have not yet been fully assembled, and the defenders at the city gate are only a few dozen people, so they were easily taken down. β
Xue Shixiong pointed at himself with his finger, and he was speechless. He naturally knew that if he held the city, he would be able to resist the Liaodong army with these 50,000 people. But if the enemy is allowed to enter the city, these 100,000 Liaodong iron cavalry can definitely crush his 50,000 horses.
"Alas...... It seems that this Yuming is going to rebel! Well, I'll go see him! Let's see how this King of Zhou explains the attack on my Liaoxi County. Xue Shixiong knew that the general trend was gone, and the only hope was that Yuming only wanted to expand his territory, not openly oppose Sui, so that he could save his life.
About two hours later, the county town of Liaoxi had fallen into the hands of the Liaodong Army, and the lord of the army, Bo He, was leading the soldiers to accept the treasury and seal the treasury silver and grain. Seeing that the general trend was gone, most of Xue Shixiong's army stopped resisting and surrendered obediently, and only a small number of people were still desperately resisting. For these stubborn Liaodong troops, they will naturally not be polite and kill them all.
"King Zhou, you are a rebellion! Do you want a second Yang Xuangan? Xue Shixiong walked in front of Yu Ming at this time, escorted by two soldiers of the Liaodong Army, but he still did not give in, but shouted angrily.
"Xue Shixiong, how dare you be rude to King Zhou?" Cheng Yanjin took the lead in rushing forward and slapped him twice, making him look like gold stars.
"Humph! Even if my Liaoxi County is broken, but there are still more than one county in Dasui, the saint will come forward to avenge Xue! Yu Ming can only end up like Yang Xuangan in the end! Blood escaped from the corner of Xue Shixiong's mouth, and he snorted coldly.
"Xue Shixiong, if the saint knows the cause and effect, he will only praise the king for his ability to rescue the princess, and the military attache of the court will only ask you to be cut with a thousand knives!" Yu Ming also said with a sneer.
At this time, a burly military general stepped forward quickly, it was Qin Qiong, the commander of the Shengjie army.
He bowed to Yu Ming and said, "King Qizhou, the last general has found the cell where the princess is being held......"
"Good! Uncle Bao, let's go together! Yu Ming glanced at Xue Shixiong, and then said: "Take him with you, let him know how much wrong he has made!" β
Seeing Yu Ming and Qin Qiong's expressions, Xue Shixiong didn't seem to be contrived, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, secretly wondering if the princess was really in his own city?
β¦β¦
It didn't take long for the group to come to the prison in the city, only to see that many people poured into it, not only the soldiers of the Liaodong Army and a few cell heads, but also the city's chief historian, assassin history, chief Bo and other officials were all taken to the prison.
Yu Ming, Xue Shixiong and others followed Qin Qiong to a large cell, only to see that more than ten men and women were imprisoned in it. Those men were dressed as merchants and guards, and judging from their clothing, they should have come from Liaodong.
The women were very young, and two of them were dressed as maids. The appearance of the first girl made Xue Shixiong and the officials in the city fascinated at a glance.
I saw that her eyebrows were slender and picturesque, and her eyes were shining like stars. There is a small mouth under the bridge of the nose, the rosy lips are thin, the corners of the mouth are slightly curved upward, with a slightly sad expression. The whole face is delicate and beautiful, so refined, there is no trace of human fireworks.
She just stood there gracefully, looking extremely dignified and noble, quiet and elegant. It gives people a pure, tender, like a budding water hibiscus, and a fresh feeling of fine dust.
At this time, the people of the Liaodong Army, except for Yu Ming, all knelt down in fear after seeing this girl, and said loudly: "Meet the princess!" β
And Yu Ming strode forward and ordered: "Don't open the prison door yet, let the princess out!" β
After that, he said apologetically: "Luo Qi, I was late to save the car, and I wronged you, please forgive me!" β
Xue Shixiong only felt that his head was "buzzing", and he felt a little dizzy. A voice in his heart shouted, "It's over! Finished! How could the princess be locked up in her own prison! This time I jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it. β
Xue Shixiong had been to the Eastern Capital with his old boss Luo Yi a few years ago and participated in a palace banquet, so he had met Yang Luoqi. And the woman standing in front of him now is not Princess Loki in ordinary clothes?
He immediately shouted at the cell boss and said, "Old Wang, why did you lock Princess Luo Qi in? Do you still want your own head? β
At this time, the cell leader surnamed Wang cried and said with a sad face: "Lord Xu, I am also wronged!" Your nephew Xue Wansong said that this group did not listen to his orders and refused to compensate his brother Xue Wancheng according to his demands. So they all locked them up...... I didn't know there was Princess Rocky among them! He told me to send Princess Locky to his chamber in the evening......"
Xue Shixiong has already understood seven or eight points, the cell boss said Xue Wansong is his eldest brother Xue Shiying's son, this person is not skilled, not successful, not martial arts, so although he is his nephew, he only dares to give Xue Wansong a team official position, let him patrol the city, deal with some disputes and complaints.
And that Xue Wancheng is the younger brother of Xue Wansong, who has been engaged in the fur business. Relying on the identity of his uncle who is the county guard of Liaoxi and his brother who is the head of the city guard army, he has been forced to buy and sell, and there are many complaints from the residents and merchants in the city. He had warned the two brothers many times, but to little avail. Fortunately, these two people also know their own weight, and they never dare to provoke the officials, businessmen, and big families in the city, which makes Xue Shixiong a little relieved. But he never expected that as soon as he relaxed, the two brothers would cause him so much trouble.
"Hurry up and arrest Xue Wancheng and Xue Wansong for me! I'm going to skin them! Xue Shixiong said angrily.
A moment later, several Liaodong Army soldiers escorted Xue Wancheng and Xue Wansong to prison.
As soon as the two saw that their uncles had been captured, they were immediately frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed to Yuming and begged for mercy, even saying that King Zhou spared his life!
Yu Ming was secretly amused, but he scolded him seriously: "You honestly tell you what happened!" There must be no concealment! β
Xue Wancheng and Xue Wansong saw that the princess and his uncle were here, and the human and material evidence were there, so they didn't dare to deny it, and hurriedly told the story honestly.
When the officials on the side heard this, they all suddenly realized, and wondered no wonder King Zhou was angry, his fiancΓ©e was actually favored by the Xue brothers, who were interested in it, and was not only arrested and put in prison, but also tried to insult the princess at night, so it is no wonder that Yuming would be angry at the crown and send troops to attack Liaoxi County.
But Yang Luoqi saw that something was wrong. She secretly thought in her heart: her coming to Liaoxi County was the result of Fang Xuanlingli's lobbying, saying that the governance experience of Liaodong could be extended to the whole country. For example, it can be piloted in the neighboring county of Liaoxi first. So, I accepted his suggestion and came to Liaoxi County to inspect the situation and see if it could be promoted.
could have informed Xue Shixiong openly, but Fang Xuanling said that after notifying Xue Shixiong, others would definitely prepare early, and they would not be able to see the real situation in Liaoxi County. Therefore, he proposed to have a private interview with Weifu.
And he is also young and playful, thinking that it is not bad to have a private visit to Weifu, anyway, he is accompanied by more than a dozen guards with strong martial arts, and it is not expected that there will be much danger. So he pretended to be a merchant and entered the county town of Liaoxi.
But who knew that not long after coming in, he was taken by this Xue Wancheng and wanted to accept himself as a concubine. How do you not make yourself ashamed and angry? The accompanying guards also immediately stepped forward to fight with him. Her personal guards were all elite people who were pulled out by Yu Ming, and the people of Xue Wancheng were opponents, and they soon fought and climbed.
Although this was a relief for anger, it also attracted many onlookers, and finally even the city guards appeared.
Yang Luoqi originally thought that after the city guards appeared, they would arrest Xue Wancheng. But what she didn't expect was that the team of the city guards was Xue Wancheng's elder brother Xue Wansong.
So, this Xue Wancheng took the opportunity to hit him backwards, saying that it was his side that hurt him first.
And the city guards didn't care about seventy-twenty-one, arrested themselves and others, and threw them into prison.
Although he revealed his identity, Xue Wansong didn't believe it at all, thinking that he was talking nonsense because he wanted to get out.
Just four hours after he was thrown into prison, when he was anxious, his fiancΓ© Jun Yuming descended from the sky like a god.
He led his army into the cell, rescued himself, and invited the city officials to testify. If he said that his future husband was completely unprepared, then no one would believe him.
