It was the spy of the Liang who saved his wife, Fan Cheng was grateful, and after the kidnapping was slashed, he became a member of the spy of the Liang, today, he was going to do a big thing, and afterwards he was able to follow the Liang messenger back to the Liang to see his wife and children, although the return journey was difficult, it may be possible to go back to the Liang, but he had no regrets, he saw his wife and children living in a beautiful yard, not worried about food and clothing, his children have a husband to teach them to read and write, these are their own in exchange for them, Fan Cheng is very proud, very proud.

Three days ago, after the Liang envoy entered the city, he got in touch with Fan Cheng through a secret message, and Fan Cheng also got in touch with the Liang envoy according to the process, and obtained the task to assist Tiance Wei to escape from the south gate.

Fan Cheng spontaneously went to the south gate to help the defenders guard the gate according to the plan, and then poisoned the water to stun the defenders of the south gate to reduce the consumption of the Liang army.

"Brothers, the water is coming!" Fan Chengjiang pushed the waterwheel to the door with a kind face, picked up the water scoop, and shouted loudly.

After the arrival of Zhou Yuanli, the general of the south gate of Huanggong Town, the guards of the south gate rose by more than one level, and one thousand palace guards plus eight hundred city gate troops blocked the south gate.

Fan Cheng was thinking about how to get more people to drink water, and Zhou Yuanli, the general of Zhennanmen, suddenly ordered.

"Let's all go drink water!"

Under his order, both the defenders and the palace guards came to the waterwheel one after another, drank the water, even Fan Cheng did not escape, and drank the water under the gaze of Zhou Yuanli's adjutant general, Fan Cheng took the water scoop and looked at it for a moment, which was mixed with deadly poison, and if you drank it, you would die, but if you don't drink it, these Xixia people will be suspicious, if the plan is exposed, they will die, and it will also affect the messenger of the Great Liang, Fan Cheng recalled the voice and smile of his wife and children for a moment in his heart, and drank the water in the water scoop without hesitation, and then went aside, watched Zhou Yuanli's lieutenant summon those who had not drunk water to the roots one by one, and poured a big bowl.

Zhou Yuanli's deputy general was a little inexplicable, but almost everyone drank water, and the effect was still achieved, the kung fu of tea, the poison should attack, Fan Cheng found a hidden place to sit down and wait quietly for the poison to attack, he has completed the task, and the rest depends on Liang Envoy, but he can't go back to Liang, and he can never see his wife and children again.

Suddenly, a sharp pain rose in his abdomen, the poison attacked, faster and more violent than he expected, the severe pain spread all over the body, Fan Cheng began to roll on the ground, not only him, except for Zhou Yuanli and a few of his personal guards, all the people were rolling on the ground, as if cotton was blocked in their throats, they couldn't scream, and their breathing became more and more difficult.

Just as Fan Cheng felt that death was imminent, and the figures of his wife and children were wandering in his mind, a coolness flowed down his mouth into his stomach, instantly extinguishing the feeling of colic, Fan Cheng's consciousness gradually became clear, and his limbs regained consciousness one after another, he did not get up immediately, but lay on the ground and continued to pretend to be dead.

Out of the dwelling came a group of people on horseback, ten in all, nine of whom surrounded one in the middle, and although the person in the middle was tightly covered, it was a woman who could be judged by her figure.

Zhou Yuanli's henchmen had already moved the corpses to the sides, and Zhou Yuanli glanced at the girl surrounded by the man in black, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth

"That's it! Get ready to get out of town! After Zhou Yuanli finished speaking, a group of henchmen got on the horse one after another, and the remaining two opened the city gate, and Zhou Yuanli led the team out.

Xingqing City did not have a moat, the Tuoba army did not come to the city, but lined up a mile away, saw the city gate open and someone came out, the Tuoba family led by the general gave an order, and the army came to kill Zhou Yuanli.

"I am Zhou Yuanli, the general of the south gate of the imperial town, and I am ordered by His Majesty to go out of the city to do business! Give way to your speed! Zhou Yuanli shouted, took out a token from his arms, full of aura, the Tuoba family general who came forward had already recognized Zhou Yuanli, although he saw the token, but he was the general of the south gate of the imperial town, even if it was his turn to do things, plus the last ten people in mysterious clothes in his team, it was even more suspicious, today is the day to hunt and kill Liang Envoy, what if those mysterious people are Liang Envoy?

"I also ask General Zhou to go back to the city to rest for a while, and when I finish hunting and killing the Liang envoy, I will make way for General Zhou."

"Do you know what I'm going to do? If you stop me, aren't you afraid of getting angry? Zhou Yuanli didn't laugh angrily, his smile was very weird and cunning.

"Someone!"

"The last general!" Zhou Yuanli's lieutenant took a step forward and said.

"The order to return to the palace, General Tuoba of the South Gate prevents the general from going out to do business, if the matter is delayed, please don't blame Your Majesty!"

The Tuoba family general has been paying attention to Zhou Yuanli's every move, seeing that he has no fear, plus there is a token in his hand, although he is puzzled, but he is also panicked, if what he said is true, he is really ordered by the emperor to go out of the city to do business, and he was delayed by himself, thinking of Li Yuanchang's thunderous anger, the Tuoba family will shudder, if Li Yuanchang is really angry, the Tuoba family may not be able to protect himself, he is just a family general, if he uses his life to calm Li Yuanchang's anger, it is still very appropriate.

"Wait!" The Tuoba family general stopped the lieutenant general, and he didn't dare to bet. "Please also ask the general to let them take off their masks, confirm that they are not Liang envoys, and let the general out of the city!"

"Hahaha, you say they're Liang envoys? General Tuoba, haven't you received the news that the Liang envoy has broken through from the other three gates? The south gate is the farthest away from the imperial city, not to mention, the janissary guarding Xingqing City is ten miles outside the south gate, General Tuoba, if it were you, would you choose to break through from the south gate? After Zhou Yuanli finished speaking, he stepped aside, ordered his subordinates to make way out, turned sideways to the Tuoba general, and said mysteriously.

"Didn't the general want to see their faces? Let's go and see, just let me see it below, it's not a secret, when I come out of the palace, I don't know what they look like! ”

When the Tuoba family heard that those mysterious people were from the palace, they shivered again, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and their hearts were very weak.
