Nearly four hundred war horses, using their last strength, galloped towards the county seat of Qushui.

Yan Chen was the first to ride, and he didn't care about the five hundred brothers behind him, and he didn't hesitate to run to Qushui County, carrying Jiang Wuji's Chu River closely behind.

"Brother Chu, slow down...... No, I'm dying. Jiang Wuyi shouted weakly.

When they arrived in front of Qushui County, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Qushui County is still full of traffic, and it seems that it has regained its former vitality.

The 10,000 people in the Sheng army have not yet arrived.

Yan Chen and the others traveled for four days under the stars, and their efforts were finally not in vain.

When he arrived in front of the city gate, Yan Chen didn't mean to stop Mahler, but rushed straight into the city and ran to Taoye Lane.

Chu He shook his head helplessly, then stopped and kicked Jiang Wuzhi down.

"It should be fine, let's wait for them here."

Jiang Wuxian staggered to find a small tree, reached out to support it, and then bent down and retched.

After a while, Jiang Wuxian, who had finally vomited, turned around, looked at Chu He and asked, "Brother Chu, do you have anything to eat?" Hungry. ”

Chu He suddenly felt sick to his stomach, glared at him, and did not speak.

After about a cup of tea, the five hundred elites led by Wu Zhiwei finally arrived, and they were all relieved when they saw that everything was as usual in Qushui County.

On the way here, Yan Chen did not hide anything, and told them bluntly that they were about to face an army of 10,000 people from Sheng Guo.

Yan Chen said that if any brother felt that this trip was to send him to death, he could choose to go back to Ba'an Mountain directly, and he had nothing to say.

But all of them in the Jinjia Battalion were bloody men, and no one was afraid, but they complained that Yan Chen looked down on them.

Although these 500 people are all not afraid of death, they are still happy to see that they don't have to merge with 10,000 arms.

Wu Zhiwei walked up to Jiang Wuxian and asked in a low voice, "Deputy Secretary Jiang, what should we do next?" ”

Jiang Wuxian, whose face was pale, wiped a handful of sweat from his head, and then replied: "Hurry up and lead the brothers to find some food and drink, adjust the physical condition, and wait for Captain Yan to pick up his family, let's continue to set off and go to Dachong Pass, I have a bad feeling, the Sheng army who came from Hegu Road should not be far from here, we must hurry up." When you have eaten and drunk enough, go to the Peach Leaf Lane in the city to find us. ”

"Yes!"

Wu Zhiwei looked resolute, nodded vigorously, and then rode back on his horse and led his brothers into the city to find food and drink.

Chu He patted the horse's buttocks behind him, and said helplessly: "Come up." ”

It took a lot of effort for Chu He to drag the weak Jiang Wuxian up, and then the two of them also walked quickly towards Peach Leaf Lane.

The horse he sat down on was shaking its head as it ran, and its nose was snorting with hot air, and it was clear that its strength had reached its limit.

Chu He touched the horse's neck with some distress, "Brother, if you insist on persevering, you will have forage to eat in a while." ”

As for the road in Qushui County, Chu He is now familiar with it, and he quickly took a shortcut and rushed to Taoye Lane, in front of the gate of Liang Yi's house.

At this time, the door was closed, Chu He held Jiang Wuyi, who was about to fall unconscious, with his left hand, and pulled the door knocker with his right hand.

Soon, someone came to open the door for him.

The one who opened the door was the soldiers of the Kuishan Battalion who had stayed here as guards before, and when they saw that it was Chu He, they hurriedly let them enter the hospital.

As soon as they entered the hospital, Chu He and Jiang Wuxian saw a very shocking scene.

Yan Chen, the only son of the general Chen Shi, is the second generation of the first official in Liangzhou. Now in front of the twenty Kuishan camp brothers, kneeling on the ground, hugging Liang Yi's thighs, crying.

"Daughter-in-law, I thought I would never see you again!"

Looking at Yan Chen, who was rushing to the sky, Liang Yi's face was flushed, and he pulled his leg out, but he couldn't pull it out.

For this kind of scene, Chu He and Jiang Wuxian are barely acceptable, but the adaptability of those soldiers of the Kuishan battalion is not so strong, scratching their ears and cheeks one by one, not knowing what to do.

Although they didn't know Yan Chen's true identity, since he was sent here by his boss to take care of the family's home, it was definitely not as simple as a small captain.

Being watched by so many people, Liang Yi felt a little embarrassed, and looked at Chu Dao Road embarrassedly: "Xiaohe, what's wrong with your brother?" ”

As soon as Chu He heard this, he knew that Yan Chen was patronizing and crying after coming here, and did not say anything about the fact that Sheng Jun was about to slaughter the city, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and clean up, we have to leave now." ”

Hearing that he was so anxious, Liang Yi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Because King Xiao Ming was captured, Zhou Shikai sent an army of 10,000 people to the canal, wanting to ...... Slaughter the city. ”

As soon as he heard the words "slaughtering the city", a low shout sounded in the courtyard, obviously even the soldiers of the Kuishan Battalion who fought in the south and the north had never encountered such a thing.

"Hurry up and clean up, we have to leave soon!"

The soldiers in the courtyard hurriedly prepared under the command of the captain, and Liang Yi finally broke free from the clingy Yan Chen and wanted to pack his luggage with Aunt Ma.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Brother Chu? I'm Wu Zhiwei! ”

When Chu He heard this, he hurriedly ran to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Wu Zhiwei flashed in sideways, and hurriedly said, "Sheng Jun has arrived!" Now it is gathering less than a mile outside the North City Gate! ”

Jiang Wuxian staggered out of the stove room, with half a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, and shouted vaguely: "Don't clean up, let's run from the south gate now!" It's too late! ”

Yan Chen stopped crying in an instant, jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and beckoned: "Hurry!" Retreat now! ”

The soldiers in the courtyard immediately took action and were soon ready to go.

At this time, Liang Yi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he asked with a cry: "Although we are leaving, will the Sheng army still slaughter the city when they come in?" More than 100,000 people in this canal are going to die like this? ”

Jiang Wuxian frowned and said: "There is no way, if you can save our five hundred lives, even if it is good, the people of Qushui...... It can only be seen by their own creation. ”

Yan Chen looked at Chu He, but did not speak.

He also knew that even if Chu He had magical witchcraft, it would be impossible to repel the 10,000-strong army of Sheng Guo.

Chu He frowned, but he really couldn't think of any good way, more than 100,000 people in this canal, I'm afraid they really have to fend for themselves, and life and death are up to heaven.

"Maybe you can try to open the gates and scare them off."

"You mean the empty city?"

"Oh...... That's what you posterity will call it...... That's right, it's an empty city plan. ”

"Wait!" Chu He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Who's talking?

Chu He was busy looking left and right, and no one next to him heard the conversation just now.

The voice just now sounded in his head.

Chu He subconsciously looked down at the iron ring on his left hand.

"Who are you?"

"Me? I am also one of your rings. ”

"And who are you?" Chu He was a little respectful.

"Oh, my surname is Sima, my name is Yi, and my name is Zhongda."

"Are you Sima Yi?" Chu He almost shouted on the spot.

"Little brother is out of sight, just call me Zhongda."
