Chapter 286: Soldiers Coming to the City (Part II)

The soldiers and horses of Jiangdu came to the city so quickly, which was both a crisis and an opportunity for Han Jian.

At present, the military mutiny in Yuzhou has not been completely quelled, and there is still the possibility of turmoil in Yuzhou at any time. Han Jian knew that Yang Luochuan would inevitably fall into hesitation at this time, not only wanting to kill him, but also knowing that the consequences of killing him would probably cause Yuzhou to be unsafe.

"Let the dog go, and then discuss." After Yang Luochuan was silent, he said.

When Han Jian heard this, he knew that the initiative was already on his side. Han Jian said coldly: "If you are delegating people and there is no barrier in your hands, how can you ensure that King Nan will not go back on his word?" Before retreating, you will not take risks lightly. ”

Han Jian said "before retiring from the army", he told Yang Luochuan that before he got free, Yang Luo was his last bargaining chip, unless Yang Luochuan was ready to mess around, then he would fight to the death.

Yang Luochuan didn't expect that he would be threatened by a junior today. But if he didn't follow Han Jian's request at the moment, then his son wouldn't be able to keep it in the first place. Originally, Jiangdu soldiers and horses were in the city, Yuzhou City was high and the river was deep, and Jiangdu soldiers and horses wanted to kill in for a few months, but what was pressing at the moment was that there were still military mutinies outside the city that had not subsided, and the generals who participated in the military mutiny could not be found out for a while. In this way, if there are rebels in the city and Jiangdu outside the city should join forces, then the loss of Yuzhou City will also be overnight, Yang Luochuan does not want to take such a risk.

"Go up to the castle!" Yang Luochuan shouted.

Han Jian held Yang out of the door, and Han Jian was also nervous at the moment. After all, he wanted to hold Yang Yu hostage at any time to deal with the people from the Nanwang Mansion who came to rob people, and he was in danger alone, and the situation was quite critical. Yang Luochuan may turn his face and deny people at any time.

The moon was as bright as snow, and the party went out of the Nanwang Mansion, Yang Luochuan got on the horse, turned to look at Han Jian, who was holding Yang Yu hostage on foot, sneered, and took the sergeant to ride his horse in the direction of the East City Gate. Han Jian was not in a hurry, Yang Li'er got closer and asked, "Can you prepare a carriage?" ”

"No need. Thanks a lot. Han Jian said.

Yang Yu was quite annoyed at this time. He, the prince of the Southern Prince, has a great reputation in Yuzhou, but this time he was planted in the hands of Han Jian, which discredited him.

Han Jian held Yang Yu hostage on foot and went to the East City Gate with the guards of the Southern Palace. At this time, there were many generals at the East City Gate. Everyone is vigilant outside the city, and Jiangdu soldiers and horses are attacking the city at any time. Han Jian glanced around. I didn't see Yang Luochuan himself, and I expected that Yang Luochuan had already gone up to the city tower to observe the situation outside the city at this time.

"Please!" A general came down from the castle tower and made a gesture of invitation to Han Jian.

Han Jian was a little embarrassed. It is not easy for him to take Yang Lu up to the city tower, after all, the steps of the city tower are full of sergeants, and the ladder itself is very narrow, and it may be attacked at any time.

But at this moment, a floating figure floated from the two-story small building on the street below the city tower. When Han Jian first saw this figure, he thought it was Fa Yi, but when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was Zuo Gu. Han Jian had learned from Ke Qu'er that Master Zuo Gu was near Zuo, but he didn't expect that Master Zuo Gu would show up in Yuzhou City, and at this time, Master Zuo Gu was floating in the midst of the ten thousand armies, and Han Jian really couldn't guess what her purpose was. If the Venerable Zuo Gu wanted to kill him, he had no other choice, after all, the Venerable Zuo Gu did not need to take care of the safety of the prince of the Southern Prince.

Just when Han Jian couldn't figure out what Zuo Gu was trying to do, the soldiers of Yuzhou also noticed this white figure falling from the sky. A soldier raised his bow and arrow to shoot down the Venerable Zuo Gu, but the Venerable Zuogu was one step ahead and quickly jumped in front of Han Jian.

"Leave it to me." Master Zuo Gu didn't discuss with Han Jian either, and said directly.

Han Jian didn't expect that the target of the Zuo Gu Master would be Yang Yu, Han Jian thought to himself, is the Zuo Gu Master going to rescue Yang Yu?

Just when Han Jian was a little stunned, the Master Zuo Gu had already attacked Han Jian, and slashed at Han Jian's shoulder with a knife in his hand, Han Jian wanted to dodge, but he couldn't continue to hold Yang Yu hostage. Master Zuo Gu's move was just right, which was to make Han Jian subconsciously dodge and relax Yang Yu's hijacking.

Immediately, Yang Yu was captured by the Zuogu Master, and just as Han Jian was about to step forward to retrieve the hostage, he saw the Zuogu Master carrying Yang Yu, as if he was carrying a puppet with a very light opinion, and walked quickly to the city tower, even if the soldier reacted and stabbed with a spear, he was easily dodged by the Zuogu Master. As the Venerable Zuo Gu ascended the castle tower, the soldiers in the city also became nervous, and no one knew who this person was, let alone the purpose of this person.

"Protect the prince!"

All the soldiers worked together, as if they wanted to organize the people of Zuogu to get close to the king of the south, but the purpose of the people of the left valley was not the king of the south, but the tower of the city. Soon, the Zuo Gu Master held Yang hostage to the battlements of the city tower, crossed the battlements, and went directly to the top of the city tower. Han Jian couldn't help but admire the high level of his light skills, and Han Jian knew why when he was in the palace that day, Ke Qu'er tried his best to say how high her master's light skills were, and today he saw it with his own eyes to know that Ke Qu'er was not lying.

As the hostages in Han Jian's hands were taken away by the Zuo Gu Master, the soldiers of the Nanwang Mansion seemed to have nothing to fear, and faced Han Jian with the blades in their hands.

"Don't be rude to the East King!" Yang Li'er saw that Han Jian was about to make a mistake, and immediately scolded the soldiers under the opponent.

Hearing Yang Li'er's words, the soldiers surrounding Han Jian retreated and moved out of the way to the city tower.

"Go, my father is waiting for you above." Yang Li'er said in a flat tone.

Han Jian didn't say much, now he was like a turtle in an urn, he was taken hostage by the people of Zuo Gu, and he could only resign himself to fate. If King Nan really wanted to kill him, he had no more options, and it was only a matter of time before he fought to the death, and he couldn't escape from Yuzhou. However, before he came to Yuzhou, he had already prepared for this, and he didn't plan to leave without getting any results.

Han Jian walked to the city wall with Yang Li'er, and at this time, the sergeants on the city wall, in addition to dealing with the Jiangdu army that was suppressed by the black four or five miles outside the east city, also had to guard against the Zuogu Venerable who held Yang Yu standing on the city tower.

Yang Luochuan's eyes also fell on the Shangren of the Zuogu of the City Tower, but after his subordinates reported that the East King had come up, he looked at Han Jian and said coldly: "This is your person?" ”

"It's not." Han Jian said directly, "She is from Zuogu, I think Nanwang should have heard of this person." ”

Yang Luochuan was a little surprised, he naturally knew the status of Zuo Gu Shangren in the rebel army of the Wei Dynasty, such a woman could be said to be the enemy of the entire Wei Dynasty, how could his son save his life if he fell into the hands of such a woman?

Yang Luochuan clenched his fists tightly at this time, but there was nothing he could do, although at this time, the Zuogu Master seemed to be forced to die on the roof of the city tower, but just now the martial arts of the Zuogu Master Yang Luochuan had seen it with his own eyes, and he knew that a woman with such martial arts would not come to hold the prince of Nanwang hostage for no reason.

Just when Yang Luochuan was thinking about how to save people, a horn sounded from the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu in the distance outside the city, and this horn had the meaning of attacking the city at any time.

"King Dong, what do you say?" Yang Luochuan glared at Han Jian angrily.

Han Jian calmed down at this time and said, "Please send an envoy to the East King's camp to contact!" ”

"I don't think so."

Yang Luochuan turned his head to look beyond the battlements, and a team of Jiangdu cavalry had already ridden their horses and approached. Because these people did not carry blades, but carried scepters, which symbolized envoys, that is to say, these were envoys who came forward to negotiate.

When these Jiangdu cavalry approached, Han Jian still couldn't distinguish the identity of the person who came from the moonlight, but he saw the person holding the scepter in the lead, with a graceful posture, like a woman.

"His Royal Highness the East King can be up there?" The woman's voice came, and from this voice, Han Jian could tell that it was his ninth aunt, Han Zhao.

Yang Luochuan heard the sound below, and glanced back at Han Jian, at this time he was still very angry in his heart, originally Han Jian was holding Yang Yu hostage, which made him very annoyed, but he didn't expect that Han Jian, the hostage, actually failed to protect Yang Yu, so that he fell into the hands of a woman like Zuogu Shangren who was an enemy of the imperial court. At present, the Jiangdu soldiers and horses are coming to the city, but they are not in a hurry to attack the city, and send envoys to negotiate, which means that the news that the East King is in the city has spread to the outside of the city from some channels, and the Jiangdu soldiers and horses have already known that the East King has been in contact with the South Wangfu.

"Talk back!" Yang Luochuan said coldly to Han Jian.

Han Jian stepped forward, went to the edge of the battlement, and glanced down, he was assessing whether he would fall to his death if he jumped with his light skills. After comprehensive consideration, Han Jian did not choose to jump off the city tower, although he would not fall to his death, but the soldiers on the city tower behind him were not vegetarians after all, and they would take advantage of his faintness when the stones, bows and arrows flew together, and he still couldn't escape.

Han Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know why he still had the heart to think about these at this time, he knew that even if he jumped, it would be useless to go to the Jiangdu Soldiers and Horses Array, his main purpose was to unite with the Southern Palace, only in this way would the Eastern Palace's Mansion not be alone. Once it reaches the point where the Dongwang Mansion is alone, then no matter how wise and powerful he is, other forces will still encroach on Jiangdu.

"Jiu Niang, it's me!" Han Jian shouted loudly.

"Good!" Han Zhao's voice came back with a few echoes.

Then a few horses turned away, and it was supposed to go back to repay. At this time, Han Jian turned his head and looked up to see that the Venerable Zuo Gu was still standing on top of the city tower, and Han Jian became more and more unable to understand the purpose of the Venerable Zuo Gu holding Yang Lu hostage.

At this time, another soldier came up to deliver the battle report, and King Nan deliberately went to the side to listen to it this time, Han Jian's ears were very sharp, and from the words of the messenger, he had already guessed the current situation in the city.

Now the military mutiny in Yuzhou City has not ended, and there are still many rebels in the city who are confronting the soldiers of Nanwangfu, and the rebels are mainly concentrated in the north of the city. According to the meaning of the messenger, if the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu outside the city knew the news of the changes in the north of the city, they would take advantage of this and attack the city from the north of the city, and then the city of Yuzhou would be difficult to protect.
