The sky was faintly bright, Zhang Chujiu hurriedly returned to the Liuyun Inn, and without any stopping, he came directly to Zhao Shuo's door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Knock knock~

The voice was deep and powerful, but not loud enough for the occupants of the house to hear.

Squeak~

The door opens a crack, and Fluttershy pokes her head out to see that it's Zhang Chujiu, and asks in surprise. "Brother Chu Jiu, why are you here at this time? The prince has just fallen asleep, so don't bother him if there's nothing to do. ”

"Alas!" Zhang Chujiu sighed. "If the matter is not urgent, I can come to the prince at this time."

"Is it the ninth day of the first month?" Zhao Shuo, who had just fallen asleep, heard the conversation and asked.

"It's the last general." Zhang Chujiu stood outside the door and said.

"Come in." Zhao Shuo stretched and sat up. looked at Zhang Chujiu, who entered the door, and said. "What's the matter? Say it! ”

"Lord Wang, there is an official army from the east, the number of which is about a thousand, and the purpose is unknown." Zhang Chujiu told the news he had heard.

Zhao Shuo pondered, when Zhang Chujiu arrived at this time, he knew that something big must have happened. The troops from the east, at this time, were coming this way, either to pacify the mob or to target him.

Now that Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi are making trouble in Dongting Lake, and even established the Great Chu regime, it is reasonable for the imperial court to mobilize surplus troops and send troops to quell the rebellion.

But the 1,000-strong military horse against Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi is a bit too much to say. Think about Poyang Lake, in order to recruit Liu Zhong, they are all ships and ships of mobilized officers and soldiers, and there are not 8,000 but 5,000.

This Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi are not a little stronger than Liu Zhong, and if they send a thousand people over, isn't that just going to die? How stupid would the imperial court be? Obviously not.

But to say that these 1,000 people are going to conquer Liu Zhong is completely a matter of adding to the picture, because Liu Zhong has only more than 3,000 people in total, and the imperial court has transferred 5,000 to 8,000 people from Jiangzhou in the first generation, plus the local and surrounding officials and troops in Liuyang, it is more than enough to exterminate Li Zhong.

It's not to attack Liu Zhong, it's not to attack Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi, then there's no need to ask, these people are here to attack him, the king of Pingnan.

"It seems that these people are here to quell Mu Chun's rebellion." Zhao Shuo scratched his chin. "On the ninth day of the first month, where have the people who answered us go?"

"Lord Wang, it was Second Lieutenant Yan Wu who received us, stationed in De'an County, not far from here, but ......" Zhang Chujiu wanted to speak and stopped, looking quite helpless.

"De'an is not far from us, why can't the ninth year of junior high school be so invigorated." Zhao Shuo asked with a smile. "Could it be that the more than 1,000 military horses in the east are closer to us than De'an?"

Zhang Chujiu shook his head. "It's not! It's just that Ensign Yan Wu brought too few people, only a hundred people. ”

"That's it!" Zhao Shuo said with a smile. "A hundred is enough."

After a pause, Zhao Shuo continued. "Chu Jiu, you go and inform Yan Wu now, and ask her to rush to the western part of Jiangzhou immediately and wait for the answer."

Zhang Chujiu bowed and saluted, and left in a flash.

"Fluttershy, you go tell Mu Chun and let his people do it and pull out the nails that were staring at the Liuyun Inn. Also, get everyone ready, and after pulling out the nails, we will immediately go out of the city and go to the west of the city. After Zhang Chujiu leaves, Zhao Shuo gives Fluttershy an order.

After receiving a message from Fluttershy, Mu Chun didn't say a word, and personally led people out of the horse to kill the officers and soldiers who were staring at the Liuyun Inn.

After receiving the news of Mu Chun's success, Zhao Shuo gathered everyone together, and then swaggered out of the inn and went straight to the West Gate.

The sun had risen, and the sun was shining on their faces, warm, but Zhao Shuo and his party had solemn faces and were cold.

The guards at the west gate received an order from Xiao Guang to prohibit anyone from leaving the city. Of course, like Zhang Chujiu, the master who can drill out of any hole he can find, they can't stop it, because they are powerless.

"Stop, who are you?" The officer guarding the gate looked at Zhao Shuo and his party who were constantly approaching the west gate, and shouted.

"We are passing merchants, we went into the city to sell goods a few days ago, and we are about to leave today!" Gonggong Feng smiled, walked up to the city guard, took out a few taels of silver and stuffed it to the city guard. "It's a small meaning, but it's not a tribute. I hope that the military master will be convenient! ”

The officer guarding the gate put away the silver and said justice to Feng Gong in a serious manner. "This official can't help you in this matter, you also know that the rebellion of the court is in the city, if the official lets you out, something happens, the official can't afford it."

Gonggong Feng clenched his fists, took out a few taels of silver, and stuffed them to the officer guarding the door. "We are all merchants, Ye can't make a lot of money along the way, and now the rent of the inn in the city is high, and the little money we earn is not enough for a few days."

"Hehe~" Gonggong Feng arched his hand and bowed slightly. "The military master is accommodating and convenient."

"Roll the edges, don't you be embarrassed." The officer at the gate put away the money and shouted. "This is a decree of the imperial court, you have a few heads, and you still have to go out. Seeing that you are still sensible, the official doesn't care about you, so get out of here. If you are noisy here, don't blame the official for being ruthless and arresting you in prison. ”

"Master Jun, we haven't committed any crimes, this ......" Gonggong Feng still wanted to explain.

"You said you didn't commit a crime? And the officer said that he had committed a crime? If you don't leave, the official will arrest you all as a mob. The gatekeeper waved his hand impatiently. Get out, get out of here. ”

After saying that, the gatekeeper turned and walked towards the city gate. He touched the few taels of silver in his arms, and his mind was already thinking about where he was going to be comfortable after the substitute came.

Gonggong Feng snorted coldly, he didn't have time to think about it at this time, he pounced directly on the guard officer, and the order Zhao Shuo gave him was to find a way to get out of the city and do whatever it takes. Since it is a insufficient means, you can buy it with money, or you can use a knife to force it.

"Don't be ashamed, you really take yourself seriously." Gonggong Feng's dagger was placed on the neck of the guard officer from behind, and he said in a cold voice. "What about rabbits biting when they're in a hurry? If you know each other, let them open the city gates, take charge, and let your head fall to the ground first. ”

The officer guarding the gate didn't expect Gong Feng to make a move on him, and he couldn't defend himself, and when the dagger was on his neck, his feet were weak, and he almost fell, and then he surrendered weakly. "Open the city gate, quickly open the city gate, and send these masters out."

"However, Lord Zhizhou's general order ......" Some of the soldiers showed hesitation.

"Lord Zhizhou is my brother-in-law, if there is anything, I will cover it, hurry up and open the city gate, otherwise I will let your heads fall to the ground." The officers guarding the gate were afraid of Gonggong Feng, who was holding a knife, but he was not afraid of these soldiers.

The most important thing now is to live, and as for other things, we will talk about it later.

The officers and soldiers opened the city gate 'sensibly', and Zhao Shuo and others rushed out. When Zhao Shuo and the others could no longer see their figures, Gonggong Feng coerced the gatekeepers, walked out of the city gate step by step, and then kicked the gatekeepers away, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the gatekeepers.
