The Tang army's attack lasted all night, and even if the thunder and rain were small, the defenders in the city were half killed, and the city defense was already in danger, and it could even be said that it was useless.

Many people poured out of the city, as if trying to flee the war-torn city. Fleeing in terror seems to be a normal reaction of the people.

But in such a situation, it seems that there is a little more human factor, and there are too many people pouring out of the city at once, which seems to be a little unusual.

This is different from fleeing in front of the station, when the army is besieging the city and encircling the thieves in the city, the city is not so safe, but it is much safer than forcibly breaking through and fleeing. After the officers and soldiers entered the city, they would only take action against the thieves and those related to the rebels, and there must be some misunderstandings or slander and extortion, but on the whole it was stable.

For the people in the city, staying in the city at this time, hiding at home and waiting for the officials and soldiers to enter the city is the best choice, and it is extremely unwise to risk the sword to go out of the city.

It would be fine if it was just one or two people, but it was extremely unusual for so many people to go out of the city at once, especially at dawn. Xie Yi had every reason to suspect that someone behind him was persecuting them with a sword. It seems obvious who did it and what they wanted to do.

Muddy waters, obviously fishing in troubled waters? Xie Yi smiled coldly, but at the same time he was also a little distressed, if Li You and the others were really mixed in with the crowd of refugees pouring out of the city, it would be really troublesome to find and control them.

Anyway, you can't let Li You escape anyway, how many years has the third prince of Ming Zhu left behind in the future? If Li You slips away, it will undoubtedly become a big trouble for Li Shimin and the successor monarch, so it is resolute that such a problem must not occur, otherwise it will be difficult to explain after returning to Chang'an in the future.

What to do?

Xie Yi was distressed by this, and was about to send a large number of troops to block the road and strictly discern and audit, but he never expected that they would show their feet.

There was a group of people mixed in with the fleeing crowd. Judging from the actual situation, it could have escaped from the encirclement of the official army on the outskirts of Qizhou, but this group of people kept showing flaws.

There were even subordinates who clashed with officers and soldiers, so that their identities were directly exposed. Normally, people who want to take advantage of the chaos to escape are generally extremely low-key, but these people act in the opposite direction, deliberately very high-profile, as if they were doing it on purpose.

Xie Yi initially thought that it was another plan to set up a suspicious array and divert the tiger from the mountain. But I didn't expect it to be a big fish.

Li You, the king of Qi, was among them, and the generals who had seen Li You immediately recognized His Royal Highness the King of Qi in the past, and today's rebellious ministers and thieves. After Xie Yi himself came to see it, he was even more convinced.

The moment he became a prisoner, Li You almost cried, thinking that it would be good to be able to escape from Qizhou and go to Goryeo, or go into exile. It's a pity that it backfired, and he couldn't escape from Qizhou City at all and fell into the hands of Xie Yi. The consequences can be imagined.

There was no abuse, no punishment, and Li You was still supported with good food and drink. Xie Yi still hasn't figured out why Li You's subordinates are so abnormal. Just like that, he caught Li You in a daze.

The person was caught, but it was also a hot potato, after all, Li You's identity was very special. Li Shimin did deprive him of the title of King of Qi, but the most fundamental identity has not changed - the fifth son of the Tang Emperor. He was still the emperor's son.

The emperor's son made a mistake, even if it was a heinous crime, and others did not have the power to deal with it easily. Don't dare to be harsh. How to deal with it, can only be decided by Emperor Li Shimin, others dare not trespass at all, in this matter, Xie Yi knows in his heart, and he has a good grasp of proportion, which is very appropriate.

If Li You makes a slight mistake, it will be his own trouble, and it is not good to take care of Yunyun, and the impeachment of Xueflake will definitely come towards him. Li Shimin may still resent himself, even if it is a rebellion, but Li You is his biological son after all, no matter how he beats and scolds himself, or even executes him, it is his own business, and no one else is allowed to interfere.

Moreover, for Xie Yi, he is the long history of the Jin Palace, and he has a close relationship with a prince. If another prince dies in his hands at this time, many things are not clear, and it is easy to be criticized, even if it is groundless speculation and gossip, it will make you very uncomfortable.

Wang Jundu used this as an excuse to frame himself and Li Ke for colluding with him was already a lesson, and the same thing must not happen a second time. Therefore, Xie Yi must also be careful, provide for the rebellious prince well, and send him back to Chang'an to hand over the errand, it is really tiring to think about it.

……

Li You's mood has not changed because of this fixed point of decency, he knows very well that this is his last dignity and dignity, and he doesn't know what kind of misery awaits him after he arrives in Chang'an, and even whether he can or not, whether he wants to return to Chang'an alive has become a problem......

In an instant, Li You's psychology had collapsed.

Yin Hongzhi should have been caught, but he was more resentful in his heart, and the object of resentment was exactly Wang Jundu.

Originally, they could have escaped smoothly, but some of the entourage deliberately leaked their whereabouts and deliberately attracted attention, so that they were rounded up by the officers and soldiers. And it was Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao and others who made such behaviors, and they were Wang Jundu's henchmen.

Why?

Wang Jundu hopes to use Li You and himself to attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape? It's quite possible. But Yin Hongzhi always felt that Wang Jundu had some other purpose, he could vaguely perceive it, but what else could he say?

The fact that he is already a prisoner will not change, and it will probably be a dead end after returning to Chang'an, and it is no longer meaningful to resent Wang Jundu for harming himself. The only consolation is that Wang Jundu has some benefits in doing this, and Yin Hongzhi even has the intention of wanting to prepare it.

Things have developed to the point where they are now, and they are indeed unexpected, and they can't laugh or cry. is obviously cheated by someone, but he still has to help him lie and help him make things happen.

What a life!

Yin Hongzhi sneered, looking at the sky full of sadness, and he didn't know what kind of mentality it was.

……

With the arrest of Li You, the king of Qi, the rebels on the ground of Qilu also fell into the point of being leaderless, and they also lost the courage and confidence to continue the rebellion, as well as the meaning.

Qizhou, Zizhou and Laizhou have been pacified, and the land of Qilu has returned to the tranquility and peace of the past, but the devastation after the war is so dazzling, and it is not a day's work to recover, as for those life and death and the separation of wives and wives, it will become eternal pain.
