At this time, the defenders in the city have already swarmed in, although the combat strength is sparse, but they all know very well that once the city gate is lost, they will be slaughtered, so they also do their best to let go. The more than 200 bandits involved in the seizure of the city were mixed with the refugees, and seeing that there was no hope of taking the city, and the leader had been killed, they could only make a desperate bet at this time.

The more than 200 bandits were extremely brave, and although they had no leader, they retreated from killing the rescued defenders. The remaining dozens of people relied on the not wide corridor at the city gate, desperately resisting the attack of Zhu Ping'an's department.

Zhu Ping'an took a deep breath, put the crossbow back in the saddle, and pressed his right hand tightly with his left hand. Zhu Ping'an did not hesitate at the arrow just now, but even in the midst of the chaos, Zhu Ping'an seemed to clearly hear the sound of sharp arrows entering the flesh, followed by the scene of the beard struggling to hold the wound with his hand, and the blood gushing out like a fountain. This picture is like a freeze frame, deeply engraved in Zhu Ping'an's mind.

The first fight, the first blood, the first killing with your own hands. Zhu Ping'an has fantasized about such a scene many times after coming to this era, but he has not been immersed in this kind of blood, bloodiness and shock. Cao Wuxian and Yue Jinfeng protected Zhu Ping'an tightly, Cao Wuxian clearly felt Zhu Ping'an's subtle psychological changes, and after fighting, his palm patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder lightly.

Only then did Zhu Ping'an's mind regain his clarity. On the left and right, in front of and behind him, blood continued to splash on Zhu Ping'an's armor and cheeks, and at first, he was still a little uncomfortable, and even felt like vomiting. But gradually, as an enemy rushed in front of him, he mechanically waved the long knife, watching the enemy fall in front of him, and feeling the strange feeling of entering the flesh from the knife, Zhu Ping'an's heart calmed down little by little.

Cao Wuxian was a little surprised. He and Zhu Ping'an learned martial arts together with the old eunuch Yao Shaoqin since childhood. He was an internal officer, and he mainly learned feminine fighting and killing techniques. In fact, Cao Wuxian did not sue Zhu Ping'an, he had already killed the first person when he was ten years old. And what Zhu Ping'an learned from Yao Shaoqin was the art of opening and closing the battle array, although he was not an improper general, but under Yao Shaoqin's careful adjustment, he made rapid progress.

Today, Cao Wuxian never expected that Zhu Ping'an, who killed people for the first time, had already adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield in a few ups and downs, and even Yue Jinfeng on the side showed a surprised look, and the two looked at Zhu Ping'an's more and more skilled and ruthless tricks, and smacked their tongues.

The bandits, numbering more than 200 people, were quickly wiped out. The two living mouths left behind were very single, and they were all recruited before they were tortured. It turned out that these bandits were just one of the various cottages under the command of a gust of wind, and these people were not brainless, but rather a bit of a victory in danger. These people have been fighting with the officers and soldiers all the year round, and they are clear about the virtues of the officials and soldiers, and they originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate, and the officers and troops of Fengyang would disperse in a hurry, but they did not expect to meet Zhu Ping'an's soldiers.

But this also illustrates two problems, although the bandits are a rabble, they are definitely not without a fight. Another one, it also shows that the main force of the bandits is already very close to Fengyang.

After the end of the war, Zhu Ping'an and others couldn't take a break and hurriedly organized refugees to enter the imperial city. At first, the soldiers and horses and the soap subordinates of the yamen were reluctant to allow these refugees to enter the city, on the grounds that they were just coerced by the bandits, which almost caused a catastrophe, and they could not protect the spies of the bandits among them.

But after a series of punches and kicks from Zhu Ping'an's men, the city gate was opened again. Zhu Ping'an was not an irresponsible person, and immediately asked the soldiers of the Terracotta Division to escort these refugees to the vacant Fang City, demarcate the area, and send troops to guard them alone, which ensured that even if there were spies among them, there would be no big trouble.

Finally, after the refugees entered the city, Zhu Ping'an and the others were about to enter the city as a team, but there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves along the avenue. Looking back, in the deep twilight, a black steed galloped towards it, and in a blink of an eye it was not far away.

"Whoever is coming, get off the horse quickly!" Yue Jinfeng shook the reins of his horse, and he had already led a few of his subordinates to meet him, and the crossbow machine in his hand was already full of bow springs.

The knight on the horse faltered, and finally, when he was only a few dozen steps away from Zhu Ping'an and the others, he fell off the horse.

Yue Jinfeng and the others hurriedly rushed over, turned over and dismounted, and probed the man's snort, and he was still angry.

Zhu Ping'an rushed to the scene. The man was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, who was as fat as the fat man, but he was wearing a light satin robe and a small hat. It seems that if you are not rich, you are expensive. At this time, the person had already fainted.

"My lord, it's not good, the city gate is closed!" Yue Jinfeng suddenly shouted.

When everyone looked back, there was the dull grinding sound of the gates closing in the night, and the two gates were slowly closing.

"Oops! It's unitary time! Zhu Ping'an secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to get on the horse, and took the fat knight and galloped towards the city gate.

The torches on the top of the city were raised in unison, and the snow was shining above and below the city. Shi Yingzhao stood proudly at the head of the city, "Zhu Baihu, you came back so late!" ”

Zhu Ping'an forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and bowed to Shi Yingzhao, "We are waiting to chase and suppress the remnants of the enemy, and we have just saved another citizen, it is only too late, and I hope that my father-in-law will be magnanimous, open the door and let me enter the city!" ”

Shi Yingzhao laughed, "What can our family do, Lord Lu ordered that the city gate be closed on time, and no one is allowed to enter the imperial city again, this is a military order, our family dare not disobey!" ”

Hong Fat Man came up, "My lord, let's go to other city gates to try!" ”

Shi Yingzhao sneered, "There's no need for that, just before, our family told Lord Lu that the four gates of the imperial city had been sealed. Even if you rush to another place, the defenders may not have the courage to open the door for you! ”

Zhu Ping'an's face turned blue instantly, and at this time, the fat middle-aged man who was unconscious on the back of the horse suddenly moved. "I, I am the head of Jiading Bo Mansion in the capital, I want to meet Lu Jiude Lu Gonggong, hurry! Fast! Save! ”

Zhu Ping'an's heart moved, and he turned sideways to the horse, "Who do you say you are?" ”

"The head of Jiading Bofu, Zhou Mian!" The fat middle-aged man barely raised his head.

Hong Fatzi interjected, "He's not injured, it's just that he's over-frightened!" ”

Zhu Ping'an nodded, "It's a pity that you came unfortunately, the city gate has been closed!" ”

Zhou Mian was furious when he heard this, so he was about to turn over and get up, but his body was disobedient and slumped. "My master is the master of the country, who dares to let me enter the city in Fengyang Wenwu!"

Zhu Ping'an smiled, "Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum guards the eunuch Shi Yingzhao!" ”

"Bullshit", although Zhou Mian was weak, he still took out a name from his arms tremblingly with anger, "Even the eunuchs in the palace have to behave when they see the name of my master, an internal official guarding the imperial mausoleum, a fart!" ”

Zhu Ping'an looked at the post, his eyes rolled a few times, and then sighed, "We can't enter the city gate no matter what." However, I can help you contact Grandpa Lu, provided that you do me a favor ......! ”

Zhou Mian's eyes suddenly widened, "Look at your clothes, it's just a mere hundred households, and you dare to bargain with me!" ”

Zhu Ping'an spread his hands, "Since we can't talk about it, there's no way." Lao Yue, Lao Hong, give him Steward Zhou's horses and let him find another master! Zhu Ping'an's words changed, "However, I want to remind Steward Zhou that the army of bandits is no longer a stone's throw away, and it's no problem if you want to escape, but if you want to save someone, there will be no store in this village!" ”

Zhou Mian suddenly hesitated, looked at Zhu Ping'an timidly, and had to nod and agree.

Zhu Ping'an secretly patted Cao Wu's arm, "Do you remember the route we took to enter the Imperial City?" ”

Cao Wuxian nodded.

"You immediately find an opportunity to enter the city, report all these things to Lord Lu Zhenfeilu, and then stay by the side of the prince and the princess. Shi Yingzhao tried his best to block us outside the city, and he will definitely take action, and now the only one who can rely on him is Lord Lu, and the safety of the prince will be entrusted to you! ”

Shi Yingzhao looked down at the top of the city, trying to see Zhu Ping'an's disillusioned expression, but he only saw that Zhu Ping'an seemed to have discussed a few words with the people beside him, and then saw Zhu Ping'an and the others turn their horses' heads, and galloped towards the distance without looking back.

Shi Yingzhao patted the wall tiles of the battlements stupidly, without the slightest pleasure and feeling of putting people to death. The eunuch in Tsing Yi came over at the right time and whispered: "Godfather, since Zhu Ping'an can't enter the imperial city, is Zhu Yujian's ...... over there?" "Eunuch in Tsing Yi, look around, and secretly make a downward gesture.

The details of Zhu Ping'an and Cao Wuxian have not yet been clarified, and the eunuch Cao Huachun and Tang King Zhu Yujian are urging again, and a large amount of gold, silver and letters are sent over, which is nothing more than to put Zhu Yujian to death as much as possible, so as to stabilize Zhu Yujian's Tang Dynasty.

Although Shi Yingzhao didn't want to make any trouble for himself, he thought that one day he would be able to return to the Forbidden City or become a town guard elsewhere. How many benefits can guarding the imperial mausoleum have, besides, in Fengyang now, Lu Jiude and Lu Zhenfei are the real chiefs, mixing here, when will they be able to survive.

"Godfather, in fact, this time the thief came at the right time!" The eunuch in Tsing Yi cautiously looked at Shi Yingzhao's expression, and saw that his face showed the meaning of inquiry, so he continued: "Just now, the thieves and spies almost entered the city, and there are so many hungry people who also entered the imperial city. In case these spies get into the forbidden wall, then Zhu Yujian won't be ......! ”

Shi Yingzhao's eyes lit up, this is a safe way. The thieves want to seize the city, it is something that many people have seen, as soon as Zhu Yujian dies, in the future, there will be an excellent scapegoat, anyway, thieves are everywhere, Zhu Yujian's death can be blamed on them.
