Chapter 271: Zhou Jian's End
After learning the news of Jiangdongjun's move, Zhou Jian's face was like ashes, and the whole person instantly became a little sluggish, he knew very well in his heart that he was finished, completely finished! He couldn't wait for the help of his lord Yuan Shu!
After being depressed for a while, Zhou Jian also reacted, he knew that sitting and waiting for death like this would never be a good way, he had thought about surrendering, but he himself understood the consequences after surrendering, and he had a great chance to save his life, but what about his wife, children and family? The ruthless Yuan Shu will definitely kill them all or make them slaves!
No way! Zhou Jian knows that he is a bastard, but he is not a ruthless person, he must not let his relatives suffer for the sake of his own life! There are only two ways left for him, one: the lucky one escaped from Nanyang; Two: Sacrifice your life to take righteousness and fight with the Jiangdong Army to break the net!
After weighing it repeatedly, Zhou Jian still decided to flee first, after all, he was reluctant to give up his life, and he must cherish the opportunity to escape!
"General Liu, don't panic, let's do it, you take the official seal of the official to ask the Jiangdong Army what they mean, let them retreat quickly, the official still doesn't believe it, this Jiangdong Army still dares to attack the imperial court officials in broad daylight? In addition, you take advantage of the chaos to find a way to send the official seal of your official to the Nanyang family, and when they see it, they will come to save us! Zhou Jian tried his best not to make his voice tremble, at this time he didn't expect any chance to turn the tables!
He knew very well in his heart that Sun Yang dared to use the Jiangdong Army to besiege the Taishou Mansion so blatantly, needless to say, the Nanyang family had completely fallen to his side, and the new army was probably the same!
What he is doing now is to let this General Liu go out and negotiate with the Jiangdong Army, and give him some more ways to escape from Wancheng!
"This ...... My lord, did this work? The Jiangdong Army made it clear that they were here to ask for our lives, how could they retreat? "General Liu is not a fool, from the face of the Jiangdong sergeant he just ran out of the door of the Taishou he touched, he only felt murderous aura, let them retreat, it's just a fantasy!
"General Liu, you don't need to say more, this official knows this matter in his heart, the Jiangdong thieves will never do anything to you, this official needs to grasp their purpose now, and this official can come up with a countermeasure!"
Looking at Zhou Jian's unfathomable appearance, General Liu was already a little depressed, he knew that now he could only trust Zhou Jian.
"No! The end will go! ”
"Well, General Liu, this is the official seal of this official, you can take it!" Zhou Jian handed the seal of the Nanyang Taishou official to General Liu, who was kneeling on one knee, and patted him on the shoulder, "General Liu, now the life of this official is in your hands!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
In addition to letting the people of the family come to save them, General Liu could no longer think of any other hope that would give them a chance to turn the tables, and in order to survive, he decided to fight this one!
After General Liu went down, Zhou Jian's originally calm face changed suddenly, his face was pale, and he kept walking around the room thinking about escape strategies, he knew that General Liu couldn't delay for long, and he had to escape from the Taishou Mansion in this short time to escape completely!
Just when Zhou Jian was looking for a way to escape, General Liu took dozens of dead soldiers out of the door of the Taishou Mansion, he was not ready to send himself to the Jiangdong Army stupidly, he was ready to let these dead soldiers kill a way for him, he could take advantage of the chaos to break through the encirclement and ask for help from the Nanyang family, even if he couldn't get help, at least he could temporarily get the protection of the Nanyang family.
Under the protection of dozens of dead soldiers, General Liu approached the place surrounded by the Jiangdong Army step by step.
"Brothers of the Jiangdong Army, I have no ill intentions, but I just asked to see your commander, General Zu Mao, on the orders of Lord Taishou, can you convey it on your behalf?" General Liu put the long sword on the ground and raised his hands, his face was full of sincerity!
A hundred elders who surrounded this place saw that General Liu had already put down his weapon, and he walked to the front with a careless heart: "General Liu, you wait here for the time being, and I will send someone to report to you!" ”
"Thank you, brother!" General Liu said gratefully, and slowly stepped back.
Seeing that there were only dozens of Jianghuai troops, Bai Chang, who was responsible for guarding this place, didn't care too much, and after ordering someone to pass the word, he moved to the back and sat down, in his opinion, even if these dozens of people had a bad intention, they would definitely not be able to break through their defense line!
Slowly, the Jiangdong soldiers began to relax their vigilance, they didn't think that these dozens of people would dare to play any tricks in their hands with such elite!
General Liu, who was protected by the dead soldiers in the middle, saw that the time had come, so he nodded at the dead soldiers and signaled that they could do it!
The dead soldiers were overwhelmed, and coldly took out some hidden weapons from their arms and threw them at the weakest side of the guards, and in an instant, the Jiangdong soldiers in the front row fell to the ground one after another, wailing.
"Kill!" Before the Jiangdong soldiers could react, General Liu turned over and picked up his own sword on the ground, killing the weak point, and the dead soldiers behind him also rushed forward without hesitation.
Almost a few blink of an eye, General Liu rushed out of the encirclement of the Jiangdong Army, quickly disappeared on the street corner, at this moment the reaction of the Jiangdong soldiers full of anger sprinkled on the dead soldiers who bought time for General Liu to escape, dozens of breaths of the moment, more than ten dead soldiers were wiped out, all killed here!
Kill these dead soldiers, leave some of them to continue to surround this place, and the rest of the people, led by the angry Baichang, all go after the fleeing General Liu, they must not accept this shame!
When Zu Mao arrived, Bai Chang, who went to pursue General Liu, also came back dejected, yes, they still lost it!
After learning the situation, Zu Mao didn't care about General Liu who fled, he knew that even if he ran away at this moment, he would never escape from Wancheng!
At this moment, it was already dark, and there was a faint sound of fighting in the west of the city, but it didn't last for a while before it ended, how could Zhou Jian's secret forces be able to defeat the secret guards, and in less than a stick of incense, they were all wiped out, and they were checking to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net.
Just as Zu Mao was about to forcibly break into the Taishou Mansion, the door of the Taishou Mansion opened, and some unarmed maids and servants came out of it, including of course the five hundred soldiers arranged by Zhou Jian in the mansion.
At the moment when they came out, a fire suddenly appeared in the Taishou Mansion, Zu Mao was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly evacuated this group of surrendered people, his order was to catch a live Zhou Jian!
But after the Jiangdong sergeant extinguished the fire, the entire courtyard where Zhou Jian was located was reduced to nothing, and Zu Mao only found one body of ashes in it.
Could it be that Zhou Jian died of self-immolation?
