Hearing Hu Zhong's words, Ma Shixiu, who was originally full of anger, suddenly seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and he calmed down instantly.

"yes, why hasn't there been any movement?"

As long as the defenders of Wuchang Mansion are not killed, they will definitely not dare not come to the Chu Palace, otherwise, when something happens to the King of Chu, the entire Wuchang officials will not only lose their official positions, but even their heads may be moved.

So whether it was for the King of Chu or for themselves, they would mobilize the defenders to come to the rescue as soon as possible.

Unless......

Ma Shixiu's eyes were a little gloomy when he thought of this, unless the officials of Wuchang Mansion had already received the news before they made their move, and wanted to borrow their hands to get rid of the King of Chu.

But the crux of the matter is that the only person who knows that they are going to do something to the Chu Wangfu is Zuo Liangyu except himself.

Even before he started, for the sake of secrecy, his subordinates did not know his goal.

Therefore, if the officials of Wuchang Mansion could get the news in advance, it must have been from Zuo Liangyu.

"Zuo Liangyu sold me?"

A terrible thought quickly appeared in Ma Shixiu's heart, and then thinking about Zuo Liangyu some time ago, in the name of rectifying military discipline, he had been targeting his descendants, and the more Ma Shixiu thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was right.

He glanced at the city wall that was reoccupied by the Jinyi Guards with a somewhat gloomy look, then took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and then said: "Suspend the siege, let the brothers rest first, and then build some siege equipment by the way." ”

After saying this order, he immediately summoned a few more henchmen, and then commanded in a low voice: "You should go to Zuo Liangyu's side immediately now to see what the situation is, and come back immediately after seeing it, remember not to startle the snake." ”

After the figures of these people disappeared into the distance, Ma Shixiu, whose face was gloomy, glanced at the city wall with some unwillingness.

After more than three hours of fierce fighting, nearly 1,000 of his soldiers had been killed, and now there were only more than 2,000 left.

Although it is not a problem to take the city wall, the strength of the group of people who suddenly appeared on the city wall just now is too strong, and if he bites hard, he will definitely have to pay a lot of price.

If it was before, for the sake of the wealth of the Chu Palace, Ma Shixiu would not care about the casualties of his soldiers at all.

But now it's different, if Zuo Liangyu really betrayed them, then this time they will definitely be more than lucky.

If that is the case, the lives of every soldier under him are precious, and they are all the capital of his life, and it is naturally impossible for him to use his human lives to attack this city wall.

Ma Shixiu and the others rested for half an hour, and they also took advantage of this opportunity to recover some of the arrows on the ground, so that if they started fighting, they would not fall into the dilemma of having no bows and arrows to use.

It's just that what makes Ma Shixiu feel a little strange is that when the soldiers under his command recovered the arrows and missed, the guards above didn't seem to see them and didn't attack them at all.

This strange situation made Ma Shixiu very puzzled, but there were more things he didn't understand tonight, and it wasn't too bad.

So seeing that the soldiers on the city wall didn't care about them, Ma Shixiu simply sent out some more soldiers and recovered a large number of arrows in the fastest time.

And just when Ma Shixiu sent someone to recover the missing arrow, the henchmen he sent out to inquire about the news had already rushed back.

It's just that he sent out a dozen people, but only two came back, and there were still blood stains on their bodies.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Looking at the only two people left, Ma Shixiu's heart suddenly sank, but he still asked with a fluke mentality: "What about the others?" What did you encounter? ”

"Zuo Liangyu, it's Zuo Liangyu......"

One of the soldiers was hit by an arrow in the right chest, and he said forcefully: "He led people to ambush outside, and we met them as soon as we went out." ”

"They're ...... now It's already been killed. ”

After the soldier finished the last sentence, he fell straight down.

"Bastard!

！ ”

When Ma Shixiu heard this, he immediately roared angrily, he didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to sell him so thoroughly.

"Whole army, let's withdraw!"

Ma Shixiu glanced at the inner city of the palace with some reluctance, but he was still ruthless and let the army leave directly.

No matter how much money there is in the Chu Palace, if there is no life, there will be no chance to spend it at all.

What's more, with this wall here, they have no chance to break into the inner city.

So Ma Shixiu knew very well what to do now, and he was about to leave directly with the army.

It's just that he wanted to leave, but Zuo Liangyu didn't want to let him go, Ma Shixiu led an army of more than 2,000 people, and not long after he left the Chu Palace, he was blocked by a large army.

Seeing the person in charge, Ma Shixiu was immediately furious, "Zuo Liangyu, you son of a bitch." ”

"Where can Lao Tzu not be able to control you, you ......"

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he didn't mean to talk nonsense with Ma Shixiu at all, and without waiting for Ma Shixiu to finish speaking, he directly ordered the arrow to be released.

The rain of arrows in the sky not only interrupted Ma Shixiu's words, but also fell directly into Ma Shixiu's army, bringing him a lot of casualties.

"Ma Shixiu attacked the Chu Palace, intending to rebel, Zuo Liangyu was ordered to come to get rid of the thief!"

After a rain of arrows, Zuo Liangyu's voice sounded, "General Ben only punishes the evil, and the rest of the people put down their weapons, otherwise they will be killed." ”

"Don't fucking fart, it's a capital offense to attack the vassal king, you didn't want us to live at all!"

Ma Shixiu roared angrily, and then said: "Brothers, follow me to fight a bloody path, otherwise not only you will have to die, but even your family will be killed!" ”

To be honest, Zuo Liangyu's heart was also full of anger at the moment, and he didn't know how things could have turned out like this tonight.

He originally led a large army and waited for Ma Shixiu to break through the Chu Palace, and then came forward to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

At that time, as long as he took advantage of Ma Shixiu's lack of vigilance against him, he could directly solve Ma Shixiu, not only to obtain the treasure of the Chu Palace, but also to take over Ma Shixiu's power, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As a result, I didn't expect that there were suddenly a few Ma Shixiu people just now, and after seeing them, they immediately started killing people indiscriminately.

After capturing them, they said that they had killed their people, and that he had betrayed Ma Shixiu, and Ma Shixiu already knew.

These words made Zuo Liangyu feel extremely aggrieved, he had been waiting here all night for news, when did he kill Ma Shixiu's people.

But those people said that Ma Shixiu already knew his plans, so even if he was aggrieved, he had to do it.

At this point, Zuo Liangyu had already guessed that he was being calculated, but he had no choice now.

Otherwise, if Ma Shixiu was allowed to escape, he would have to bear the charge of besieging the Chu Palace.

So either Ma Shixiu dies or he dies, there is no other way to choose.

On the one hand, both sides are fully equipped to work at ease, and their combat strength is well preserved.

On the other side, for the sake of their own lives, they tried to fight their way out, so as soon as the two sides fought each other, the battle entered a white heat.
