Li Xiancheng had heard a little about Xie Zhenghui's arrest of Feng Jiyang in Jizhou, plus he had his own troubles, and Xie San had a waist card with six doors, so although he felt that his appearance was very abrupt, he didn't think deeply, and even flatteringly told him that it was better to arrange an experienced captain for them to seconded the Yacha who was familiar with the water nature.

Xie San only wanted to get out as soon as possible, so naturally he would not object. He exchanged a few words with Li Xiancheng, and then left the county office under the pretext of meeting with his companions.

As soon as Xie San left, the man in military uniform who was guarding the city gate hurriedly found Li Xiancheng and asked, "Lord Li, where is the Xie Zhutou just now?" ”

Since Xie San left, Li Xiancheng only had an anxious look on his face, and replied impatiently: "It's already gone." ”

The man took two steps forward to stop Li Xiancheng and complained: "My lord, at this time, we don't know what his origin is, how can we let him go?" As he spoke, he glanced at his men.

"He's the catcher of the Six Doors, can I still stop him?" Li Xiancheng wanted to push the man away, but seeing that he didn't move, he said angrily: "Mr. Luo, now that my son has been poisoned by thieves, life and death are uncertain, and there is such a big thing in the city, let alone stop him, even if he wants to stay, I have to think of sending him away." ”

Law choked up. Overnight, more than 200 people died in Lingcheng, and it was he who persuaded Li Xiancheng to guard the city gate tightly and hide this matter from above, so naturally Xie San couldn't find out the facts, so Li Xiancheng was right to send Xie San away. But he had just received instructions to do his best to stumble Xie San, kill him if necessary, and never let him step out of the mausoleum.

Luo Jiang couldn't refute Li Xiancheng's words, so he could only pretend to be angry. He said unhappily: "I received a secret report yesterday. Thieves may rob the people of the city. Immediately led the troops to support in the starry night. Master Li, is this to blame me for being late? ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xiancheng's attitude softened. Last night, the whole county government was poisoned, and the yamen in Lingcheng suffered heavy losses, especially the soldiers guarding the gate, almost all of whom were killed. At the moment, he not only needs President Luo to hide his dereliction of duty for him, but also relies on him to guard the mausoleum city. In case the thieves kill a horse pistol.

Thinking like this, Li Xiancheng instantly changed his smile and said flatteringly that he was out of proportion because his only son was seriously injured.

Li Xiancheng and Luo talked as soon as they spoke, and Xie San had already left the yamen. Seeing the words and deeds of General Luo and his subordinates, he naturally wouldn't go back to the South City Gate, and besides, he also needed to assess the situation in the city before he could make the next step.

With Li Xiancheng's token. Xie San had no obstruction in the city, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time. After a cursory look at the guards at the east gate, he rode to the west gate.

Xie San saw the guards at the West City Gate and heard the sound of messy horses' hooves behind him. His heart tightened, clamped the horse's belly and went straight to the city gate, and shouted: "Quickly open the gate, the little boy is dying, and the lord ordered me to go to Zhenjiang Mansion to find a miracle doctor." ”

The guards looked at each other, but no one moved.

"Open the door! Can you afford to delay the hour? Xie San drank and showed Li Xiancheng's token.

The guards recognized the token and finally pulled the deadbolt. Xie San secretly sighed, and suddenly heard a loud shout behind him: "Stop him, my lord has an order, no one is allowed to go out of the city!" ”

The guards were stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to close the door. Xie San watched the gate that had just opened a gap and was about to close again, and when he turned around and saw the pursuer behind him holding a big knife, his face was slightly gloomy, he pulled out the dagger in his arms, and stabbed the knife at the soldier who wanted to close the city gate.

With a scream, four or five spears were pointed at Xie San's chest, and his mount was not a war horse, so frightened that he raised his hooves and neighed, and did not dare to move forward again.

Xie San firmly grasped the reins with his left hand, leaned sideways to the right, dodging the attack on the left, and at the same time, his right hand had already grasped the two spears on the right hand.

Fortunately in misfortune, the few soldiers guarding the door were just ordinary soldiers, not the few practitioners at the south gate, the two spears were pulled by Xie San, and the two people holding the spears immediately fell to the ground, and the few people on the left forgot to move in shock.

In a flash of lightning, Xie San jumped off his horse, kicked open the city gate, pulled out the dagger on the soldier's shoulder, and stabbed the horse's buttocks.

At the shouts of "Catch him", the frightened and painful horses spread their hooves and galloped. Xie San's face was extremely pale, but at this moment, he could no longer allow him to think carefully, so he could only instinctively rush forward.

I don't know how long it took, noticing that there was no movement behind him, Xie San grabbed the reins, and then felt a stinging pain in his left hand. He looked down and saw a cut in his left arm, and blood was pouring out. He cursed, glad it was only a skin wound, tore off a corner of his clothes, tied the wound, and looked up.

He didn't know where he was, but he could only roughly estimate that he was about seven or eight miles away from the mausoleum. He didn't know what was going on inside the city, but the instinct of the soldiers told him that the situation was very serious.

In the past four or five years, although Xie San has been in the army and participated in many battles, but those are all in the northwest, he is completely unfamiliar with the deployment of the army in the south of the Yangtze River, the terrain, etc., but he only knows a little about the road, and the defenders sent by the imperial court to the south of the Yangtze River are all under the control of the guard of the Caoyun Yamen, which is far away in Nanjing. Even if there was a court garrison in Zhenjiang Mansion, which was closest to Lingcheng, he had to get the military talisman of Caoyun Yamen in order to mobilize the garrison.

In addition, the former emperor continued the guard system of the previous dynasty, and set up guard posts in many towns as local troops, but he did not know where there were guard posts near the mausoleum.

Xie San stood up straight and looked at Lingcheng from afar. Lingcheng is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, down the river to the East China Sea, upstream is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Although such a location is important, as long as the Zhenjiang Mansion sends troops, the gate of the Lingcheng can be opened within three days, and it is really of no strategic significance to occupy it.

In addition, although the people guarding the south gate were very wrong, Li Xiancheng did not seem to have any second thoughts about the imperial court, nor did he seem to be coerced. If the people at the South City Gate are related to the thieves, Li Xiancheng should not be the current attitude.

The more Xie San thought about it, the more confused he became, but at the moment, it was impossible for him to rush to Nanjing, so he had to meet Chang'an first, ask the nearby village chief and lieutenant chief about the situation, and then make plans.

Regarding Chang'an's safety, Xie San is not worried. They were born and died for so many years, and with Chang'an's loyalty, he ordered him to wait in place, and he categorically did not dare to enter the city to find him. Although Chang'an is not smart, he has always kept one thing in mind over the years: be careful to save your life, escape if you can, and hide if you can.

Sure enough, when Xie San went all the way to the south, he could just see the south gate of the mausoleum, Chang'an had already found him, and he didn't know from which horn he rushed out, his eyes were full of tears. (To be continued......)
