Chapter 402: Never Give Up
"Garith will definitely send people everywhere to hunt us down."
After escaping all night, Jiang Fuguang's face was splashed with a lot of blood, but his eyes were amazingly bright.
Lieutenant Wu disagreed, and sneered: "Kill as many as you come, the Imperial City Division is not a vegetarian, so they must come and go." β
The 100 people he brought with him were all 10 enemies, and they could block thousands of troops.
Jiang Fuguang glanced at Ji Ruxuan, his clothes were tattered and covered in blood, as if he had been fished out of a pool of blood.
With one person and one sword, he killed a thousand troops.
"These people are not to be feared, but," she slightly pursed her lips to hide the worry in her eyes, "the troubles we encounter are far more than that, and the guards stationed in the counties of Binchuan will definitely stop at all costs to intercept us along the way." β
There were only more than 100 of them in total, and after a bloody battle, almost all of them were injured, and the entire Yue Xi edict totaled 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, almost all of whom were deployed in the checkpoint fortress.
"The various checkpoint passages leading to Dali City will be blocked, the road ahead is difficult, we will not face a team, a group of warriors, but an army of tens of thousands of people, Ge Lisi will not let us get out of Binchuan alive, and send the news of the Yue Xi Zhao into Dali City."
Lieutenant Wu frowned.
"This is not the most serious," Jiang Fuguang took a deep breath, his voice hoarse, "Just tonight, the Zhao clan united with Yun China to launch a coup d'Γ©tat in Yuexi City, put the nobles in the city under house arrest, and controlled the entire Yuexi City. β
The campfire was blazing, and the light of the fire reflected on her tired face, stained with a worrying paleness.
"My identity has been exposed, if I can't deliver the news of the Yue Xi edict to Luo Yan before Piroye's army arrives in Dali City, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Piroye secretly deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dali City, once Piroye ordered the siege of the city, these wolves in sheep's clothing would immediately tear off the camouflage, show their hideous fangs, attack the ignorant defenders, open the gate of the inner city, and let Piroye drive straight in, and before the city was defended, they had already lost.
And the pursuers will hinder their journey.
Lieutenant Wu's face was solemn: "In the opinion of the eldest princess? β
"Lieutenant Wu," Jiang Fuguang looked at him, his eyes full of determination, "Now on the enemy's territory, there are too many of us, the target is too big, and our actions are restricted, so it is easy to be locked, pursued, and intercepted, which is not conducive to escape." β
"Ge Lisi's biggest goal is actually me, I don't know martial arts, and my physical strength is not as good as you, to put it bluntly, it's a burden, you act with me, you will inevitably be restrained."
Lieutenant Wu's face changed, and he already understood what to say next: "The eldest princess can't, don't ...... it!"
"Hurry up," Jiang Fuguang cut off his words, and his tone was already with an order, "Please bring my token, send someone to cooperate with the secret guards of the eldest princess's mansion, and go to the various checkpoints leading to Dali City separately, find a way to break through the checkpoints, and send the news of the Yue Xi Zhao back to Dali City at all costs, and tell Luo Yan that the Yue Xi Zhao has taken refuge in Pi Luoye, and the guards who transported the materials are Pi Luoye's people, and Pi Luo Ye is about to send troops to Dali, please be sure to raise his vigilance and be ready to face the battle at any time." β
Time is urgent, Jiang Fuguang has no time to write a letter, so he can only dictate the news, and stamp the seal of the eldest princess on the white paper, and hand it to the secret guard to prove the identity of the secret guard.
Lieutenant Wu knelt on the ground with a thud, and the guards around him knelt on the ground one after another: "Eldest princess, we are not leaving, our duty is to protect your safety, your safety is above all else, now that you are not out of danger, we can't abandon you." β
Jiang Fuguang leaned against the stone wall and fled all night, she was covered in a disheveled hair, embarrassed, and had a lot of blood stains on her body, but her face was calm and her eyes were resolute: "At the moment of the great enemy, the national disaster is coming, which is more important, you really don't distinguish between them?" β
Lieutenant Wu pursed his lips, and his eyes showed a look of struggle.
"You are all the most loyal soldiers of my Southern Dynasty," Jiang Fuguang said with a wry smile, "Now the situation is critical, the various checkpoints leading to Dali City must be heavily guarded, and the danger is everywhere. β
The guards looked at the eldest princess with a look in their eyes full of emotion.
"Everyone, go and cherish it," Jiang Fuguang was dizzy, supported his tired body, slowly stood up, stumbled a few times, and stood firm, "Regardless of life and death, the living will bring the words of the lonely to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty be merciful to your family, Your Majesty's benevolence will live up to your loyal deeds of sacrificing your life and forgetting death, heroically serving righteousness, and sacrificing your life for the country." β
She stooped down and bowed to them, "Please." β
"Eldest Princess!" Lieutenant Wu was a dignified eight-foot man, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
Jiang Fuguang had tears in his eyes, but his expression was calm, and he was only firm: "Time is pressing, there is no time to delay, let's go!" β
Lieutenant Wu snorted and kowtowed to the eldest princess: "Minister, never give up." β
"Let's go."
The people of the Imperial City Division are all gone, and the secret guards who are not seriously injured have also gritted their teeth and left, and there are more than a dozen secret guards who insist on refusing to leave.
Most of the guards were war orphans, fatherless and motherless, and it was the eldest princess who helped them survive because they survived.
From the day they chose to become a secret guard, protecting the eldest princess was the meaning of their existence, even if it was to go to the soup and fire, they would never give up.
"Go too." Jiang Fuguang's voice was hoarse, "I don't need so many people around me. β
The Dark Guards were silent.
Wei Si clenched his hands: "Eldest princess, you are the only one by your side, the guards in the city will catch up at any time, your safety is equally important, let us stay." β
Jiang Fuguang gasped: "The more people sent out, the greater the chance of the news being sent, if the news can't be sent, no matter how many people are left around me, it's useless." β
If the news can't be sent out, Piroye will unify the southwest, how can she still escape on Piroye's territory?
The rest of the secret guards, with red eyes, kowtowed to the eldest princess, and ran into the darkness, and they looked back at the cave one last time, and looked at each other, their eyes full of tragedy.
"We all swore at the beginning that we would swear to protect the eldest princess, and the righteousness of the family and country has nothing to do with us, but now we are weak, and there is no way to protect the safety of the eldest princess, and send the eldest princess back to the court, then find a way to lure away the pursuers for the eldest princess."
