Chapter 289: Gathering at the Vermilion Bird Gate
"Hmph, why does every betrayer always say that his behavior is so noble, what bullshit to live for himself is just an excuse for your betrayal!" Chu Tianming held the long sword and said angrily.
"Chu Zhanggu, don't you know the situation of the Prosecutor's Office and the Nansi? Are all your brothers dead in vain? "Gonggong Zhou is not the slightest dissatisfied with Chu Tianming's angry shouting, in his opinion, Chu Tianming in front of you is just a poor person.
Although Chu Tianming said in a fit of anger when he confronted Mei Buyu that he decided to withdraw from the Prosecutor's Office, this was only his dissatisfaction with some of the people in power in the Prosecutor's Office.
Even if he withdrew from the prosecutor's office, he was still a loyal and patriotic citizen. Therefore, he always felt that he should return to the imperial capital to report all the things here to the imperial court, and at the same time expose the dirty things of Mei Buyu and other high-level officials of the Prosecutor's Office and the Southern Division.
Only in this way can we return the court and the world to a prosperous future. But these are very ridiculous in the eyes of Father-in-law Zhou, who has experienced ups and downs.
In Gonggong Zhou's view, the reason why the Dayu Dynasty is so corrupt is not just that the officials in the DPRK and China are bullying their superiors and subordinates.
The corruption of the Dayu Dynasty is because the roots of the Dayu Dynasty have rotten, and this so-called root is the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, Emperor Shengheng himself.
In terms of the employment of people in the imperial court, he changed the previous policy of Emperor Shengwu, promoted his cronies and eunuchs, and at the same time allowed the feudal towns in various places to grow, so that now all the feudal towns in various places have selfish intentions, and the Dayu Dynasty is crumbling.
Externally, he also overthrew Emperor Shengwu's strategy of replacing defense with offense, and in order to consolidate his position, he constantly eliminated the generals promoted by Emperor Shengwu that year.
Even this time, in order to eliminate the threat of the feudal town and Zongzheng Temple, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the rebels in the border area, this kind of cold-blooded act is really despicable.
But even so, Chu Tianming, a stupid boy, still wants to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and Gonggong Zhou can't help but sigh at Chu Tianming's naivety and ignorance!
He didn't know how many things Chu Tianming would have to go through in the future before he could see everything like he did today.
"Maybe he won't be able to see all this in his life!" Gonggong Zhou thought to himself in his heart.
Then Gonggong Zhou immediately walked quickly in the direction of Li Yi and them. At this time, his walking steps were unusually brisk, and he seemed to have lifted the countless heavy shackles of his body.
"Why can't I do what Wan Qi Haiyin can do, he used to be a high-ranking Xianbei Khan, and I am just an ordinary eunuch in the prison army!" Father-in-law Zhou thought while walking.
And Chu Tianming, who was behind him, was holding a long sword, standing in place at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that Gonggong Zhou was getting farther and farther away from him, in the end, Chu Tianming gritted his teeth and returned the long sword to the sheath, and then quickly chased in the direction that Gonggong Zhou left.
At the same time, in the southeast corner of Shouzhou City, there are several people who are sneakily hiding in an unmanned shop.
Due to the raging rebels before, many merchants in Shouzhou City fled from the city with fine softness at the first time.
Because there are now many unmanned shops left in the city, and now the extremely chaotic shops in Shouzhou City have become a hiding place for some people with hearts.
"Lord Feng's person who went out to investigate just now came back to report that now our people and Mu Qingyun's people are fighting fiercely on Xuanwu Avenue, are we going to help?" A big man with a meaty face spoke.
"That's right, now that the people of our dove organization are basically besieging and killing Mu Qingyun, aren't we waiting here now for others to rob the credit?" Another man with a pockmarked face also continued.
"What are you making noise! Although most of the people are now besieging and killing Mu Qingyun on Xuanwu Avenue, if you think about it, Mu Qingyun is so easy to kill as the prince of Huainan Kingdom, once Mu Qingyun loses on Xuanwu Avenue, he will definitely take the opportunity to escape, and I conclude that the Vermilion Bird Gate in the south must be his first target for escape. The person who spoke turned out to be Feng Long, who Li Yi let go before.
"My lord, why did Mu Qingyun choose to escape from the Vermilion Bird Gate?" The big man with a meaty face scratched his dirty hair in some confusion, looking not very smart.
"That's right, relatively speaking, the Qinglong Gate in the east and the White Tiger Gate in the west are closer!" The man with a pockmarked face couldn't understand why Feng Long was so sure that Mu Qingyun would flee from the south gate.
"You two idiots, you're stupid!" Feng Long popped chestnuts on the heads of the two of them.
Under the pain, the two hugged their heads, bared their teeth, and kept rubbing together.
"The east side of Shouzhou City is a field and the west side is a rolling hill, how far can they escape if they really escape through these two gates? And on the south gate is Huaishui, as long as we get on the boat, even if we want to catch it, it will be difficult to catch up! Feng Long sighed and explained to them.
"Tsk, Master Feng has a point!" After hearing this, the big man with a meaty face thought about it for a moment before nodding yes.
The others nodded their heads and praised Feng Long. But Feng Long looked loveless at this time.
In fact, these people are not Feng Long's subordinates, because Feng Long's special multiple spy identities have no subordinates on the Yue side.
And his subordinates in the Prosecutor's Office have all been killed, and he himself will not be able to get them back for a while.
And these people in front of him turned out to be the contacts he had with the dove organization. However, although they both belong to the secret spies planted by the Yue Kingdom, they do not belong to the same system.
Both he, Feng Long, and his father, Feng, were directly under the jurisdiction of Pan He. Although the dove organization was nominally established by Lu Simian, in fact they were jointly established by Pan He, Yao Junheng, Mei Buyu and Fei Du.
Therefore, Feng Long's level is much higher, he is actually a five-dove level. It is precisely because of this that these people will be respectful to Feng Long, and even take his lead when they temporarily cut off contact with the Dove Organization.
"Then we're ambushing here now and we're going to wait for the rabbit?" The man with a pockmarked face looked at Feng Long in surprise as if he had understood the heavenly opportunity.
Feng Long also looked loveless. He sometimes didn't understand how these people in front of him had been chosen by the Dove Order.
Is it because they're stupid enough?
"But Master Feng, there are only a few of us, if Mu Qingyun really escapes to us, we may not be able to capture them!" A shrewd-looking man in the crowd said with some concern.
"Don't worry about this, when the time comes, if Mu Qingyun and them escape, our people will definitely chase after them, and we don't need to fight to the death with Mu Qingyun and them, we just need to drag them down!" Feng Long didn't think so, in his opinion, this time Mu Qingyun and the four of them were in a catastrophe.
And his side will definitely be able to catch them, and when the time comes, he will show his ability in front of Bao Wenqin, so that she can understand that it is a wise choice to commit to herself.
Hearing Feng Long say this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. And Feng Long immediately understood the thoughts of these people, so he spoke.
"You can rest assured, even if Mu Qingyun is not caught by us personally, our credit is undeniable, and I will ask you for credit when the time comes." As soon as Feng Long's words came out, everyone was overjoyed.
After all, these people have been undercover in Huainan for many years, far away from their families, wives and children, if they can't take this opportunity to make a good profit, and when Yue Guo completely controls Huainan Kingdom, these people themselves are afraid that they will never have a chance again.
Now that they have Feng Long's assurance, they are completely relieved. At the same time, a few streets away from Feng Long and them, Zhu Jiu and Nan Ye were fleeing with more than a dozen people in the direction where Feng Long and the others were.
"There were dozens of loud noises in the direction of Xuanwu Gate just now, and it seems that there is indeed an ambush in the direction of Xuanwu Gate." Nan Yi said as he walked.
"King Huainan, is this crazy? Did he use so many thunderbolts to kill all the thousands of people under us? Zhu Jiu still didn't want to believe that the explosion just now was the sound of thunder.
Because they had used the Thunderbolt before, they knew very well how powerful the Thunderbolt was.
That's enough thunder to kill all the rebels.
"Humph! At this time, Mu Weijun still has something to do. For Zhu Jiu's incomprehension, Nan Yi was disdainful, in his opinion, if the King of Huainan at this time was still soft-hearted, then he would be ashamed of the throne of the King of Huainan.
"This time, we really didn't expect that King Huainan would play fake death for us!" Zhu Jiu is still angry about the fake death of the king of Huainan, in his opinion, if they had figured things out before, and then launched a rebellion after confirming that the king of Huainan was dead, maybe they would have taken Shouzhou City now.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much, this matter was deliberately calculated by King Huainan and you are not the maker of this plan, if you really want to be held responsible, Pan He, Yao Junheng, Mei Buyu and Fei Du are responsible, and of course, Bao Wenqin's bitch." At this time, Nan Ye was also trying to suppress the anger in his chest.
He was furious with the five of them for this defeat. This failure not only failed King Yue's plan for nearly ten years, but also put himself and the Yue Kingdom in danger.
If he can escape today and return to Yueguo, he will definitely send all the families of these people to the guillotine and let them go to the underworld to accompany these people.
Of course, the Bao family where Bao Wenqin is located is still powerless, but Bao Wenqin himself must choose the most elite assassin to kill him.
"Xie Nanshuai is clear!" Zhu Jiu heard that Nan Ye did not intend to hold himself responsible, and at the same time, he seemed to have the intention of promoting himself, which couldn't help but make Zhu Jiu feel overjoyed.
"Now is not the time for you to thank you, we must hurry up and escape from Shouzhou City now, otherwise once the King of Huainan clears the cannon fodder we left, he will definitely be in the whole city."
"Yes! The best way for us to escape the pursuit of the Huainan Army now is to escape from the Vermilion Bird Gate in the south, once we get out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, it is Huaishui, as long as we find a ship, we can completely escape! "Zhu Jiu has lived in Shouzhou City for many years, and he is very familiar with the topography of Shouzhou City.
"But I inquired before, now the four gates of Shouzhou City have been closed, and in addition to the Xuanwu Gate, the other three gates are even more heavily guarded, we are afraid that it will not be so easy to escape from these gates!" Nan Ye is still a little worried about Zhu Jiu's proposal.
"The situation is indeed as you said, but although the other three city gates have been blocked, we thought about how to get out of the city quickly before the Huainan army blocked the city gates before launching a rebellion." At the mention of this, Zhu Jiu's face couldn't help but show a smug look.
"What's the solution?" Nan also asked puzzled.
"Nan Shuai, you don't know, before the rebellion, Lord Pan He had arranged for a small one to leave a rope on the east side of the urn city wall of the Suzaku Gate that could go down to the outside of the city wall."
"But even if we climb out of the city wall and there is a moat to block it, don't forget that there is a moat outside the Xuanwu Gate of Shouzhou City." Nan Yi also knew about the city gate garrison and strategic deployment of Shouzhou City.
Due to the special location of the first position of Shouzhou City, the west and north sides are mountainous areas, so a relatively natural protective barrier has been formed, so there is no moat outside the Xuanwu Gate and the White Tiger Gate of Shouzhou City.
The south gate and the east gate of Shouzhou City are Huaishui and the other is plain, so there are moats outside these two city gates.
And relatively speaking, because it is adjacent to Huaishui, the moat outside the Suzaku Gate in the south is much wider than the Qinglongmen moat in the east.
"Don't worry, this Nanshuai, when I left the cable, I also left a boat to cross the river by the moat." Zhu Jiu immediately showed an expression of wisdom beads in his hand.
"A boat? You left a boat on the moat? Nan Yi looked at Zhu Jiu with idiotic eyes, he didn't expect this Zhu Jiu to be able to do such a stupid thing.
You must know that in the Dayu Dynasty, no matter which city it is, if there is anything that can float on the moat, it will be cleaned up as soon as possible, even if it is a wooden plank, it is impossible to survive, not to mention the boat that can take people across the river.
Zhu Jiu saw the disappointment in Nan Yeke's eyes, so he hurriedly explained.
"Nan Shuai, listen to me, the boat I left behind is not on the moat, it has been hidden by me in the water on the shore."
"You hid the boat underwater?" Nan Yi realized that Zhu Jiu was not an idiot, and he was also very smart and hid the boat underwater.
"Yes, Nan Shuai, as long as we go to the moat, pull the boat out of the water, and then dump the stagnant water in the boat, we can easily cross the moat!"
"Well done! Now the only thing we have to consider is how to climb the walls of Suzaku Gate without the gods knowing. Nan Ye saw that Zhu Jiu had prepared a lot before, so his mood had relaxed a lot.
And just when Nan Yike's mood was relaxing a lot, Li Yi and the others were already quickly chasing in their direction.
"Li Gongzi, even if we arrive at the Vermilion Bird Gate now, how can we get out of the city?" Father-in-law Zhou, who caught up, asked with some concern.
"Humph! Our son-in-law naturally has a clever plan, you don't need to say more. For this father-in-law Zhou, who stuck to himself like a dog skin plaster, An Su behaved extremely coldly.
However, Father-in-law Zhou didn't care about this, he understood that many people around Li Yi were very prejudiced against him, but even so, he still decided that he must find a way to follow Li Yi's side.
Compared with Ansu's coldness, Haiyin's attitude towards him is much better. Although the two were real hostile sides when they were in Biansai before, now the situation of the two of them is very similar, and both of them have a sense of sympathy for each other.
Therefore, Haiyin has more care for Zhou Gonggong.
"I seem, I found that the south gate of this Shouzhou City, the tower on the city wall is extremely tall, and if you can climb the tower, you can wear a glider and fly out of the city." Li Yi pointed to the tall city tower in the distance and said.
"But our paragliders were left on the boat outside the city!" Qi Ning said with some regret. Although he felt that Li Yi's method was good, she had to remind Li Yidao.
"You can rest assured of this! We could have made one without a glider! Li Yi smiled indifferently and said.
"Where do we have it now? In particular, the cloth used to make gliders is hard to find! Jing Zizheng also questioned Li Yi's idea.
You don't have to worry about that. As he spoke, Li Yi took off the two spears from his back, and then pulled Ding Fengbo and the Red Sleeve Move out of the holster.
Everyone was a little puzzled when they saw him draw his spear, just now they were discussing the glider, but now he was fiddling with his spear.
However, Li Yi didn't explain much, only to see him put the two spears on the side, and then carefully opened his holster.
In a short time, the original two holsters were quickly unfolded by him into two triangular pieces of cloth several squares.
When they saw this fabric, Mu Junhe and Jing Zizheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Senior brother, are you the Qingjin that Master has been developing before!"
"That's right, this is indeed even the Qingjin that the master is developing, but the Qingjin is the name of the master, and according to the master, this thing should be called well! It took a long time for Master to make this piece of green brocade, and at that time I thought it was of excellent quality, so I got two pieces from his old man's house to make a glider and rolled it into a holster to carry around. Li Yi said with a smile.
"Is it really good? What's this weird name? At this time, Qi Ning next to her couldn't help but complain, in her ears, Qingjin sounded much more elegant and nice than Zhenliang.
"But junior brother, your two pieces of Qingjin are also a glider, and it is impossible for everyone to fly out if there are not enough of them!" Jing Zizheng reminded Li Yi.
"It doesn't matter that I'll fly out of the city with the rope first, and then you will fix one end of the rope to the wall, and I will fix the other end of the rope outside the city, and you will slide out of the city along the rope." Li Yi said in his chest.
"What is this glider?" Although Gonggong Zhou had been paying attention to Li Yi before, he had never heard of paragliding, and he had not seen Li Yi and how they escaped from Anzhou Prefecture at the beginning.
"Hmph, you don't understand, a glider is something that can make people fly!" An Su couldn't help but feel good when he saw Father-in-law Zhou's puzzled face, so he said arrogantly.
