Chapter 52: Interception

"Good! Hold on to me! Lin Ji immediately carried Zhao Fu on his back.

The two began to flee through the banquet hall.

Fortunately, Lin Ji's martial arts these days have not been wasted, but more refined, although Zhao Fu on his back will more or less affect his performance, but after all, he is not on the same level as these ordinary soldiers, and it can be said that he is at ease.

"Shall we go to the Imperial Guard's station?" Lin Ji asked while running with Zhao Fu.

Although Lin Ji and Zheng Yuan, as senior generals, were also invited, their subordinates did not get the same good treatment as the Iron Arm Army, but they were only given some soothing meat and wine by the Mustard City Lord's Mansion to let them stay in their respective stations.

The same is true of the Imperial Guards brought by Lin Ji, who believes that as long as he and Zhao Fu enter the garrison of the Imperial Guard, even if the defenders of Mustard City go crazy, they will not be able to take them down immediately - he is still very confident in his newly trained soldiers.

"What about Zheng Yuan? Let's go to him. Zhao Fu's answer was different from Lin Ji's thoughts.

Lin Ji was silent for a moment, but still agreed.

"Okay."

"Turn left ahead." Zhao Fu showed the way on Lin Ji's back.

"General Qin, they ran away!" Even if the defenders of Mustard City surrounded the City Lord's Mansion, they couldn't help Lin Ji's rampage.

At this moment, Lin Ji turned into a reckless bull, no matter who it was, as long as it was in front of him, it would either fly or be split in half directly with a knife.

"It's okay, they can't go in that direction." Qin Chunyang gritted his teeth and said.

He didn't expect that when so many people had already besieged the City Lord's Mansion to death, the other party would be able to cut a way out.

I knew that I should have poisoned the wine of that Lin Ji. Qin Chunyang regretted a little, just in case, he should have poisoned everyone's wine and food in the first place.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, Qin Chunyang didn't expect that the commander of the reinforcements who reinforced them from the imperial capital would have such a good relationship with Zhao Fu, Qin Chunyang gave up the plan to poison Lin Ji in the name of being a "friendly army", and it was really unreasonable to note that he poisoned the friendly troops who came to reinforce him.

But I didn't expect that it was because of this that Qin Chunyang's plan had a huge flaw.

Fortunately, the direction in which Lin Ji and Zhao Fu fled at this moment was the station of Zheng Yuan's department, so there would be still a chance, Qin Chunyang thought.

Thanks to the adult above, otherwise today's plan to poison Zhao Fu would have been aborted by now, Qin Chunyang had to admire the adult's clever calculation in his heart, and then he hurriedly chased after the soldiers who were still able to move.

"Why did you stop?" Zhao Fu asked, he was on Lin Ji's back and couldn't see the situation ahead.

"Some...... Wrong. Lin Ji replied.

"What's wrong? There are enemies here too? Zhao Fu asked, it stands to reason that Qin Chunyang shouldn't be fortified here.

"It's not...... Rather, I feel like we're in the wrong place. Lin Ji swallowed his saliva, then carried Zhao Fu on his back, turned around and ran.

Zhao Fu was wondering in his heart, and suddenly he felt that the sky was dark, as if the clouds had blocked the bright moon.

"Boss, hold on!" Lin Ji said and suddenly accelerated.

Just where Lin Ji and Zhao Fu were just now, they were now densely packed with feather arrows.

"What's going on?" Zhao Fu was startled by this sudden rain of arrows, isn't this Zheng Yuan's station?

"I'm afraid something went wrong." Lin Ji said.

"And where are we going?" Although Zhao Fu didn't understand what was going on, he realized that it wasn't safe even here right now.

"Let's go to my place." Lin Ji sighed and said.

This time, he didn't wait for Zhao Fu to agree, he directly turned around and ran in the direction of the imperial guard garrison led by him.

But this time the breakthrough was obviously not as simple as in the City Lord's Mansion, because with the sound of horses, there were cavalry who joined the battle.

At this moment, there are only two forces that can have cavalry in Mustard City, one is Zhao Fu's Iron Arm Army, and Zheng Yuan's department, and the other is the Imperial Guard brought by Lin Ji.

"What is that guy Zheng Yuan doing!" Lin Ji said angrily, of course he could see that it was those Hu Qi under Zheng Yuan's command who were stopping them now.

The addition of cavalry greatly increased the number of Lin Halberd breaking through. Cavalry is different from foot soldiers, whether it is the lethality of the war horse rushing up, or the huge horse chopping knife in the hands of the cavalry, it is an opponent that Lin Ji cannot be underestimated. Even Lin Ji's physical fitness would never be able to withstand the slashing of the slasher - he had to rely on constant dodging to find the best escape route.

What's more, now Lin Ji has an extra Zhao Fu on his back, so Lin Ji can't consider those fierce means of exchanging injuries for lives.

Lin Ji didn't know what was going on, he just wanted to escape from this terrible encirclement as soon as possible and return to the garrison of the Imperial Guard. And Zhao Fu was even more confused, and the current facts told him that Zheng Yuan's troops had also joined in this encirclement and suppression of him.

What's going on here? Now in Zhao Fu's heart, there is only this one question.

Originally, after learning that he was poisoned, Zhao Fu was not flustered, as the first person in the Northwest with real power, he had already experienced countless poisoning incidents, but it was the first time he had encountered such a strange poison.

But even so, Zhao Fu was not afraid, he believed that as long as Zheng Yuan was still by his side, no one would be able to hurt him, but only needed to buy him enough time, the medicinal properties of the poison weakened, and the poison in his body would dissipate by itself - he had enough confidence in his physical fitness.

But now everything has changed, and it has become very unusual.

Why did Zheng Yuan's subordinates shoot at him, and even send cavalry to encircle and suppress him?

There is absolutely no situation where no one knows the person, Zhao Fu just looked at a Hu Qi, he confirmed that the other party recognized him, but he did not have the slightest intention of stopping, which made Zhao Fu instantly chill.

This means that the opponent knows that the target they are going to take this time is themselves.

In this way, the conclusions that can be drawn are obvious:

Zheng Yuan, betrayed him.

If it weren't for the fact that it was in front of him, Zhao Fu wouldn't have believed that this incident would have happened.

If it weren't for the fact that the toxicity in his body had been attacking at the moment, his head was still torn apart, and if it weren't for the heart-wrenching pain that had not subsided, he would even suspect that it was just a nightmare he had.

Because he has countless reasons to prove Zheng Yuan's loyalty to him.
