The night is as quiet as water.

A light rain began to fall in the sky.

The soldiers trapped in the camp are seriously preparing the siege ladder.

Just waiting for Li Mao's order, all the soldiers will move forward bravely and climb the city tower with their swords.

And all the people of the city were looking at it.

Let's see who will die in the world of Datang.

If Li Longji wins, it will be the end of everyone.

With his retributive character, the best outcome for the people of the city was to be exiled to Shibian.

If Li Mao wins.

All will be singing and dancing to celebrate.

Suddenly.

Li Longji moved.

Without dragging the mud and water, he ran directly down the city tower.

The abandoned Beiya Forbidden Army was dumbfounded, never expecting that the people they had worked so hard to protect would escape quietly.

The moment Li Mao saw the dragon-robed figure disappear, he knew that Li Longji was about to escape.

"Soldiers, follow me!"

With an order, the warriors of the trapped camp, who had already been gearing up, immediately raised the long ladder and erected it on the city wall.

The sixteen guards of the South Ya are in the rear, and there is no room for delay.

Li Mao took the lead, walking on the vertical staircase.

Lu Bu hurriedly ran to another staircase.

His massive stature creaked down the stairs.

Fortunately, the long ladder is full of materials, so it was not broken.

The stairs are temporarily collected and cannot be climbed by too many people at the same time.

The soldiers of the trapped camp had to line up in turn under the city walls.

The Beiya Forbidden Army on the top of the city tower has not yet reacted from its stunned state.

Because Li Longji did not give them any orders at all in order to escape smoothly.

At this time.

When the soldiers of the Beiya Forbidden Army saw Li Mao jumping in, their first action was to raise their hands.

"We are willing to surrender!"

Cracking sound!

The sound of weapons landing sounded.

As far as Li Mao could see, no one still held a sword.

"Fengxian, you quickly lead someone to open the palace gate and let everyone enter the palace."

Five minutes later.

The sixteen guards of the Southern Ya led by Pei Kuan arrived.

But there was no one on Suzaku Street outside the palace gate.

When the onlookers saw the murderous army of more than 100,000 people, they had long since fled without a trace.

Without an order, the forbidden army of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya did not dare to directly enter the palace.

They were all waiting for Pei Kuan's instructions.

Pei Kuan was much more cautious after the lesson at noon, and he didn't have the intention of being a pioneer.

Keep the distance between yourself and the striker within a mile.

The trapped-up soldiers have taken over the towers.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun took people to other palace gates to investigate the situation and took over by the way.

As for chasing and killing Li Longji?

Li Mao didn't even think about it.

All of them were four-legged cavalrymen, and most of their men had only two legs.

It is completely impossible to catch up.

Li Mao turned a blind eye to the enemy troops outside the palace gate, turned his head to Zhao Gao and Li Linfu and said, "You two will drive all the captives to the north gate. ”

"Then open the palace gate and let everyone have to leave the palace."

"If anyone dares to stay, he must be a person with bad intentions."

"You kill it directly, you don't need to repay me."

Li Linfu was stunned when he heard this, and he was very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, do you want to think again?"

"Now that the enemy is outnumbered, I should take these people for my own use!"

He knew that the sixteen guards of the Nanya outside were enemy troops, with almost 100,000 men.

The number of troops in his hands is only a mere less than a thousand.

Zhao Gao also meant this, and also looked at Li Mao with a puzzled expression.

"You two, how daring? How dare you question Your Majesty's orders? ”

A sound sounded above the tower.

The person who came was Yang Guozhong.

He wanted to hug Colliers' thighs before.

As a result, he didn't expect Li Mao to directly pull the flag and rebel, shattering his dream.

The situation is urgent, and Li Mao has long forgotten the existence of Yang Guozhong.

However, Xiao Fuzi, who was in charge of presiding over the rear just now, did not dare to make his own decisions.

also brought him and Yang Yuhuan into the palace together.

The people who came in with him were the other princes of the Ten Kings' Mansion.

Li Mao doesn't plan to let these people go.

Datang has been established for a long time and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Every prince is a banner.

If the local powerful faction has a prince in its hands, it can establish a puppet dynasty in an instant.

When the time comes, the whole world will not know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be called emperors.

At this time, the army outside the city was in front of him, and Li Mao didn't bother to explain.

turned his head to Yang Guozhong and said, "Then you go and handle this matter." ”

"I hope you don't release anyone else in the palace except for the Northern Ya Forbidden Army."

"The grass people obey."

Yang Guozhong also deliberately accentuated the tone of the word grass people.

He doesn't have an official position yet, and it is most reasonable to call himself a grass citizen.

However, this does not mean that he is willing to be a grass farmer.

Li Mao looked at Yang Guozhong, who happily agreed, and was more satisfied.

I also understood what he meant.

"I will be rewarded for doing this well."

The captives in the palace are like powder kegs, ready to explode at any moment.

If Li Longji hadn't abandoned the city and fled, they would not have been captured so easily in a state of bewilderment.

If they join forces with the sixteen guards of the South Ya outside the city, even if they have three thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen, they will definitely hate this place.

Therefore, these captives need to be cleared out of the palace as soon as possible.

Li Mao watched Yang Guozhong leave with a brisk pace, and thought to himself.

No wonder Li Longji likes this person.

Yang Guozhong does things with a twist and is flattering.

In other words, any emperor would like this person.

Suzaku Street.

Pei Kuan carefully observed the situation on the city wall under the protection of his personal guards.

Under the light of countless torches, there were only more than 100 people on the entire section of the wall.

A man in a dragon robe was also looking at him coldly.

Li Longji is old and frail, and his body will not be so tall.

Pei Kuan guessed that the person in the dragon robe must be the thief Li Mao.

Where did the emperor go?

Could it be that the emperor has been caught by the thieves?

Or did the emperor escape from another palace gate?

Wrong!

There were more than 20,000 people in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

Defending a small imperial city is still a breeze.

If the emperor had a little brain, he would not lead the army to escape.

Could it be that the emperor, like his ancestors, was disheartened when he saw that his other sons were dead, and voluntarily surrendered?

Doubts lingered in my heart.

The more Pei Kuan thought about it, the more he felt a chill all over his body.

If Li Mao comes to power, the first person to kill will be herself.

Who called himself stubborn and unknown, and had to participate in the palace coup?

"I hope Your Majesty has escaped from the city!"

Pei Kuan looked at the palace and sighed.

At this time, he really hoped that Li Longji would be stupid and cowardly.

"General, what should we do next?"

The young general, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, interrupted Pei Kuan's thoughts at an inopportune time.

The temptation of being crowned king is just around the corner, not only for this young general, but also for other ordinary soldiers.

They all wanted to put on their wings, fly up to the tower, and take the head of the man in the dragon robe.
