Chapter 256: Sorrowful City Outside the Gate

Feng Du felt that he was in a dark place, although he couldn't see anything, but he felt that his body was very light.

He had a feeling of being free in the clouds. I don't know how long Feng Du suddenly felt a cold feeling on his face in this extremely comfortable feeling.

Along with this chilling sensation is a suffocating sensation. Slowly, the feeling of suffocation became worse and worse, until finally he couldn't stand it anymore.

So he began to desperately try to scratch his face with his hands. But he couldn't get rid of that suffocating feeling at any time.

As time went on, Feng Du suddenly felt his body sink suddenly, and then his extremely comfortable feeling suddenly disappeared.

And when that extremely comfortable feeling disappeared, the suffocating feeling that plagued Feng Du also disappeared.

Feng Du sat up with his buttocks, and at the same time, he felt as if something was blocked in his throat.

So he coughed violently, and he vomited a clot of blood the size of a walnut.

"Yo, you old guy finally woke up!" A familiar voice sounded in Feng Du's ears.

"I'm not dead yet?" Feng Du touched his face in disbelief, the real touch convinced him that he wasn't dead yet.

"How could we possibly let you die so comfortably!" Chu Tianming's hateful voice sounded again.

"It's already dawn?" When Feng Du saw the already bright sky outside the window, he was stunned.

"That's right, you slept so well this night!" Han Yehong's cold voice made Feng Du feel trembling all over.

"What's the situation out there now? Huainan Army, have they been wiped out? "Feng Du's biggest concern now is not his own safety, what he is most concerned about now is the situation outside.

And, of course, the safety of his son.

"It is still in a stalemate, it is said that the prince of Huainan did not find Huainan's body overnight, so they are still in the ruins of the Huainan Palace." Father-in-law Zhou's voice was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Hahaha, what kind of corpse are you looking for, King Huainan has already been blown into ashes!" Feng was very contemptuous of this behavior of the prince of Huainan who covered his ears and blocked the bell.

"Alas, no, this night has passed, and the reinforcements found by Lord Pan He should also enter the city, why haven't you taken these Huainan troops yet?" Suddenly, Feng Du realized that something was not quite right.

"You old guy seems to know a lot about the movements of the rebels!" Chu Tianming spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm towards the ground and said.

Regarding Chu Tianming's bad attitude, Feng Du didn't care at all.

"Your plan is not bad, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, but he didn't expect the Huainan Army to control the city gates in the first time, and your so-called reinforcements failed to enter Shouzhou City!" Gonggong Zhou rubbed his eyebrows and said calmly.

Although they were not ambushed by the people prepared by Feng Du in advance last night, they followed Li Yi and others all the way to the east of the city to the north of the city.

During this time, they encountered several waves of rebels. These guys are all gangsters recruited in the city by the Dove Organization before.

Although they joined the army and some mud couldn't support the wall, they were good at letting them inspect the situation in the city and pass on the news.

After all, they have been in this Shouzhou City for many years, and they are still very clear about the personnel and terrain in the city.

And these guys immediately stepped forward to interrogate Li Yi and his party when they met them, and when some of them recognized Li Yi and Mu Junhe as the people who helped Mu Qingyun in the Xuanwu Gate Weng City in the morning, they immediately took action.

However, they ignored the strength of Li Yi and his party. Since they were able to kill all sides in the Weng City of Xuanwu Gate, when facing this gang of ruffians and hooligans, it was simply cutting melons and vegetables.

Even in the battle, Li Yi, Mu Junhe, Qi Chao and An Su did not make a move. And with Xu Lei's nine people alone, plus Wu Zhongxiao, the three of them killed these guys.

However, although these people are not strong in combat and it is easy to kill, they will call helpers if they can't stand these guys.

Every time Li Yi succeeded in killing these guys, they would find more people in a short period of time.

Then these guys who thought they could successfully take Li Yi and the others would be killed by Li Yi and them again and scattered.

And then it won't be long before they gather more people again and make a comeback. In the face of these ordinary dog-skin plaster-like guys, Wu Zhongxiao made thorough efforts to the end.

To deter the damn ruffians, he screwed off the head of a ruffian and pulled out his spine along with his spine.

This move completely scared the hell out of those guys. Although these ruffians and hooligans are also brave and ruthless on weekdays, they have never encountered someone as murderous as Wu Zhongxiao.

So after seeing the cruel death of their companions, they completely dispersed.

They also know that while prosperity and wealth are attractive, they must also enjoy them. And then their way to Xuanwu Gate was much smoother.

Although they also encountered two unknown ruffians and hooligans during the period, they were all easily dispersed by Li Yi and others.

However, when they were about to reach the Xuanwu Gate, they encountered a group of rebels from the direction of the Xuanwu Gate.

Originally, Li Yi was ready to fight to the death with this group of rebels. But when they got closer, they realized that these guys had completely lost the will to fight.

They ran away and cried out, as if they were hiding from something. And when they staggered past Li Yi and the others, Li Yi vaguely saw that there were cavalry chasing behind them.

And he heard the familiar sound of chains. He immediately understood that the guys who were riding horses were chain horses.

However, after the chain horses had chased them for some distance, they stopped chasing them. They just watched in the darkness now as the rebels ran into the city.

After these rebels ran away completely, they returned on horseback. At that time, Li Yi immediately decided to rest on the spot near the Xuanwu Gate and wait until tomorrow morning before leaving the city.

After all, although these people killed the rebels in a big way, it does not mean that these people will easily let their people out of the city.

Although it is often said that the enemy of the enemy is the friend, the possibility that the enemy of the enemy is still the enemy cannot be ruled out.

And at night, because of their poor vision, they are still easily ambushed by those chain horses. However, Li Yi and their luck were good, due to the explosion of the Xuanwu Gate of Huainan Wangfu during the day, many big families in Shouzhou City fled from the city with their families.

Li Yi and the others easily found a house where no one was around, and their group naturally moved in.

"Impossible, in order to allow reinforcements from outside the city to enter the city, Lord Pan He deliberately buried a large number of thunderbolts at the gate of Xuanwu Gate when he ambushed Mu Qingyun, and he did this to make Xuanwu Gate completely closed." Feng Du coughed and retorted angrily.

"You're right, although they did blow up the inner gate of Xuanwu Gate, but the outer gate of Xuanwu Gate is still there!" At first, Gonggong Zhou didn't understand why those rebels were ambushing Mu Qingyun under the city gate of Xuanwu Gate.

In fact, it is okay to change to any Mu Qingyun's only way, and even if they are buried in the mountain road or canyon outside the city, it is estimated that Mu Qingyun will not even have the slightest chance to escape.

But it wasn't until last night that they met the rebels who had escaped from the Xuanwu Gate, and he realized that the rebels had chosen the ambush site at the Xuanwu Gate because of their deeper considerations.

Unfortunately, although the rebels' plan was good, the actual situation exceeded their expectations.

First of all, it was said that Mu Qingyun escaped with the help of Li Yi and others, and now their original plan to occupy Xuanwu Gate was once again completely disrupted by these serial horses of unknown origin.

This step is a wrong step, and it is estimated that Pan He and the others never thought that what they had been planning for so long would eventually develop into what they are now.

"The outer gates? Wasn't there a big battle in the urn city of Xuanwu Gate in the morning? According to the previous speculation, there should be no one stationed here due to the fierce fighting. In fact, this is also a special psychology of the people they use, that is, once a big disaster occurs in a certain place, people will subconsciously avoid this place.

And from the very beginning, Pan He and the others wanted to make good use of this feature so that people would not gather too much near the Xuanwu Gate, so that the reinforcements they were ambushing outside the Xuanwu Gate could enter quickly.

But they never dreamed that the Xuanwu Gate, which they had been planning for so long, would be occupied by Huang Budo's roadblock at a critical time.

At the same time, Nan Yi outside Xuanwu City had been waiting all night, but he still hadn't waited for the Xuanwu Gate to open.

Although he had agreed with Pan He and others that the city gate would be opened at night, and then he would lead the two thousand water bandits he trained to enter Shouzhou City together.

At that time, with these armies, they can quickly quell the resistance in the city, and then they can use the excuse that the Huainan king's line is all dead, and then introduce the Huainan king's side concubine Bao Wenqin to take over the entire Huainan country.

At that time, these people will be able to take over the power of the entire Huainan Kingdom in a righteous and bright manner. As for how to deal with the resistance of the people of Huainan, they had already thought about it.

At that time, they will launch Lu Simian and Zheng Gang as sacrifices to appease the anger of the people. One of them is a standard Yue State spies, and the other is an authentic Huainan traitor.

The two of them are simply the perfect scapegoats, and when the time comes, the prestige of these people will be in full swing in Huainan Kingdom.

As the heroes of Kuang Nanguo, they will definitely be loved by the people. And the child in the belly of Bao Wenqin, the concubine of the King of Huainan, will be the new King of Huainan, and this child will become the holy king who rules the Huainan Kingdom under their teaching.

But the current situation makes Nan also feel very tricky. First of all, the first goal they set before was to kill the King of Huainan and all the sons of the King of Huainan, and this one was not achieved.

Mu Qingyun, the great prince of Huainan who posed the greatest threat to them, managed to escape. Although he was besieged by Zheng Gang and them on the ruins of the Huainan Palace, there were still more than 5,000 Huainan troops under the other party.

But even so, Nan Ye last night still felt that this was not much of a problem, as long as their reinforcements entered Shouzhou City and cooperated with Zheng Gang and the gentleman army he brought to destroy those Huainan troops, it should still be easy to do.

But as time passed, Nan Ye's eyes saw that the city gate never opened, and his whole person circled around the outer gate of the Xuanwu Gate like an ant on a hot pot.

But even so, the Xuanwu Gate was still like a mountain in front of him, watching the sun rise little by little, he knew that this opportunity would also be lost.

After realizing that the night attack was decided by the battle, Huainan's opportunity slipped away so easily, Nan was so angry that he threw his helmet on the ground.

"The erector is not enough and strategic!" Finally, Nan Yi said the most famous sentence of the previous dynasty. It's just that he didn't know that he couldn't successfully open the city gate, and the responsibility was borne by Lin Chao he brought.

If Nan Ye knew about this, it is estimated that he would vomit blood in anger like Feng Du. As a famous general of the Yue country who has galloped on the battlefield for many years, he has fought in the northern border for more than 20 years in his life, although he has also lost battles, but he has never been so depressed today.

Think about it, he hasn't had a smooth ride since the imperial capital went south. Previously, when he was arranged by King Yue to go to Anzhou Prefecture to pick up the bodies of the two royal highnesses, he found the murderer who killed the two royal highnesses.

He originally thought that there were only a dozen people on the other side, but there were five hundred gentlemen on his side. Originally, he thought that the capture and killing of these dozen people was a matter of hand-to-hand capture, but in the end, not only did they not kill the other party, but they also killed dozens of people on their own side.

He almost fell into the water and fed the fish. This kind of humiliation made Nan Yi so angry that he wanted to go crazy, originally he wanted to take his remaining more than 400 people to completely kill Li Yi and others, but when facing the affairs of Huainan Kingdom, he had to put aside his hatred and shame first to solve the affairs of Huainan Kingdom.

After he came to Shouzhou City, he began to actively integrate the water bandits and then train them. Although it was only a few days, the two or three thousand water bandits were already in good shape under his training.

But now, these bandits can only squat outside the city gate with them, watching the city gate in a daze.

"Damn, these useless wastes can't even do such a trivial thing as opening a city gate, and I don't know why the king chose these wastes to preside over the overall situation in Huainan Kingdom?" Nan Ye, who was originally mild-mannered, couldn't help but complain at this time.

"Nan Shuai, don't be impatient, I guess something happened inside that slowed down the progress of the army in the city." On the side, a soldier of the Gentleman's Army brought by Nan Ye from the imperial capital said happily.

"Whew! Shit, you didn't hear the screams that didn't come from the city last night, and the old man still needs you to comfort him! Nan Ye spat heavily on the ground.

"Nan Shuai, I guess it was the people in the city who encountered some Huainan army ambushes here at the Xuanwu Gate last night, and I believe they will open the city gate soon." Although the man was reprimanded by Nan Yi, he still insisted that the city gate would open soon.

In his imagination, last night must have been too small a number of people sent by his side, and because the night was too dark, he was ambushed by the other party, so he was killed by the other party.

And now that the sky has completely brightened, as long as he sends some additional manpower on his side, he can easily kill the Huainan army ambushed in the urn city.

Just as he was talking to Nan Ye about his guess, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew out of the city. And just as the pigeon had just flown over the city walls, suddenly an arrow was shot in the urn.

The feathered arrow was so powerful that it hit the pigeon with its wings fluttering in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the carrier pigeon was shot in Zhongnan, Nan Yi couldn't help frowning, but the man who shot the arrow in the urn city was a little too manpowered, which actually caused the carrier pigeon that should have fallen in the urn city to be taken out of the urn city directly by the feather arrows.

After watching the carrier pigeon fall outside the city along with the arrows, Nan Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon a bandit ran quickly to the place where the pigeon had landed, and then he took out the letter from the pigeon's feet and respectfully delivered it to Nan Yeke.

As Nan Ye unfolded the letter, the more he read it, the more ugly his face became, and the hand holding the letter began to clench little by little.

By the time he had finished reading the last word, his face was bruised.

"Rubbish, what a waste has lost Lao Tzu's face!" Nan Yi angrily shredded the letter in his hand.

"Nan Shuai, what happened?" The soldier of the Gentleman's Army who spoke just now couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern when he saw Nan Yeke's anger.

"What nonsense do you want you to talk about? If you don't find a way to break down the city gates, you care about something that has nothing to do with you, and you're going to be motivated! In a fit of rage, he kicked the soldier and rolled him on the ground several times.

The man who was kicked down crawled to his feet, and then rubbed his aching brother and quickly knelt down.

"Nan Shuai is angry, his subordinates know that they are wrong!" It was the first time that the man had seen Nan Yi get so angry, so he immediately knelt down and apologized.

"Call everyone to me, and you immediately lead them to find dry firewood and branches, and Lao Tzu will kill the Xuanwu Gate today!" Nan Ye yelled at the soldier.

Immediately, the soldier got up and stumbled towards the bandits. It wasn't until he led everyone to the woods on the left and right that Nan Ye's evil aura in his chest eased a little.

"Lin Chao, this idiot has just lost the face of our gentleman's army, and he must be punished well when he goes back." Nan Ye said to himself while rubbing his swollen head.

At this time, Lin Chao, who was remembered by Nan Ye, was sitting in a medical hall only one street away from the Huainan Palace, and there were dozens of people with him.

Most of these people had already had their wounds bandaged, and even Lin Chao was hanging from one arm. The small number of people who remained in line were still waiting in line for the doctor to treat their wounds and bandage them.

"I'm angry, Lao Tzu must break that damn Huang Budo into pieces!" Lin Chao said excitedly while shaking his arm, but his movement happened to affect the wound on his arm, and the severe pain made him gasp cold.
