"What do you mean?" Jin Yongkang's heart was furious, and he shouted in a trembling voice, "You mean that our Jin family has treated you harshly?" ”

Jin Yongxiu glanced at him coldly, arched his hand towards the emperor, and walked towards the city tower.

Zhang Yuqing leaned into the ear of Jin Yongkang, who was full of embarrassment, and persuaded: "Why are you so troubled? Your arms can't reach your thighs! If you say a few more words, what if he really hangs you from the city tower? This is his territory, and it won't be easy to let you die! Lord Kim, you and I should both hold our tails and be human beings! ”

In the late autumn night, the bleak wind and cold rain, Jin Yongkang broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor has to rely on Jin Yongxiu to defend the city, favoring Jin Yongxiu, and Jin Yongxiu is whatever he says. If Jin Yongxiu wanted to kill him, it would be easy.

This guy is vicious and ruthless, what lack of virtue can't be done? Just the robbery of the people's rations was enough to nail him to the pillar of shame in the history books.

In comparison, killing a brother is nothing!

"Your Majesty, let's go back!" Jin Yongkang said tremblingly.

After returning to the prefect's yamen, Jin Yongkang and Zhang Yuqian slept in the same room, and the two frightened noblemen couldn't fall asleep over and over, sighing alternately.

In the middle of the night, several enemy troops attacked outside the city, and the sound of killing cries and banging on the door would be heard once every hour or two, which was so thrilling that people could not sleep at all.

Zhang Yuqian trembled and buried his head in the quilt and covered his ears, as if he could stay away from the terrible battlefield.

Finally, in the second half of the night, after another hour or two, the sky will be bright, and suddenly there is a loud noise that shakes the mountains, and the scalp of the people who shook the earthquake was numb, and the heart almost stopped beating.

Panicked footsteps sounded in the backyard of the yamen, and someone shouted in horror: "Oh no! Jiangxia rebels have broken through the city gate! ”

Jin Yongkang suddenly jumped up from the bed like a frightened bird, the tight string in his heart snapped, he lost his senses, and when he got out of bed, his legs were paralyzed to the ground.

He stumbled to the emperor's resting place, and saw Zhang Yuqing also run out.

Zhang Yuqing's face was full of panic and shouted, "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly break through the city gates! What shall we do? ”

"How do I know!" Jin Yongkang shouted, "What about the emperor? Emperor! ”

The emperor also quickly got dressed under the service of the chamberlain, and strode out of the house, his hands and feet trembling unconsciously.

Jin Yongkang shouted: "Your Majesty, we have to leave quickly!" If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

"It's not good!" Zhang Yuqing objected, "General Jin is still killing the enemy outside, maybe he can kill all the thieves who came in!" ”

The emperor has a look of hesitation, his imperial driving pro-campaign this time is huge, the world knows that he Taichang Emperor drove the pro-conquest, as a result, the city was lost one after another, he retreated step by step with the army, and now it is difficult to run again?

It's a shame! What should the world say about him?

As a last resort, he will definitely not leave Nanyang and run away.

Jin Yongkang's face was distorted and he shouted, "What if he can't finish killing?" The emperor's safety is at stake, how can we let the emperor be in danger! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Yuqian also echoed in a panic, "We can't let the emperor be in danger!" ”

There is more and more chaos outside the prefect's yamen, and the riot of hundreds of thousands of people is not a small movement, and more and more people are screaming in horror that the city gate is broken, flee and something like that.

"Your Majesty, let's go! It's too late to leave! There are hundreds of guards around you, enough to take us to a safe place! Jin Yongkang shouted in horror, he was still young, he didn't want to give his life to Nanyang City, his death was worthless, and he had to give up the title of the Jin family to Jin Yongxiu.

Just when Emperor Taichang was in doubt, the courtyard gate of the prefect's yamen was slammed several times.

Hundreds of guards ran out of the corner, drew their swords and blocked Emperor Taichang, staring at the front with nervous expressions.

At this time of tension, there were still people shouting that the emperor must have brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry here.

Emperor Taichang's face turned pale, and he immediately said, "Go!" ”

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have no food to eat, no place to live, aggrieved nest in this Nanyang City to suffer from freezing rain, but also to be worried about the slaughter of Jiangxia thieves, mental tension, physical hardship, patience to the extreme, one spark is enough to make hundreds of thousands of angry and frightened soldiers mutiny, from soldiers to robbers and bandits.

After all, Jin Yongxiu's soldiers have done this robbery, and they are familiar with it. Not to mention robbing his gold, silver and jewelry, even killing him, the emperor, is a trivial matter.

The emperor sits on the world again, and then holds the supreme power, can he still tell who robbed him in this dark night, or even who killed him?

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the prime of life, can the prince kill them all to avenge him? I'm afraid that in the end, for the sake of the stability of Daxia, I can only give up, pinch my nose and admit it.

"But General Jin ......" Zhang Yuqing said unwillingly.

Jin Yongkang got the emperor's words, his heart was settled, and he reprimanded: "If you are not afraid of death, just wait here!" ”

Wait for Lu Wei to collect your body! Jin Yongkang said in his heart.

"No, no, no!" Zhang Yuqing's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "I, I, I, the courtiers are naturally following the emperor and Lord Jin!" ”

Since it was decided that they were leaving, without further ado, everyone left immediately, and Zhang Yuqing had to go back to pack up his clothes and jewelry, and was scolded by Jin Yongkang.

However, when the door of the prefect's yamen was opened, everyone was dumbfounded, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside were running around like headless flies, shouting that Jiangxia rebels had come in and killed people in the crowd.

If they go out like this, they won't be able to avoid being bumped into by the crowd and trampled into mud, and everyone will see the emperor fleeing from the battle, and they won't be able to block hundreds of thousands of mouths no matter what.

The prefect of Nanyang immediately took the emperor out of the back door and walked through the alley.

The alley was narrow, and only three or four people could walk side by side, so Jin Yongkang immediately asked the emperor to walk in the front, they guarded the emperor, and hundreds of guards followed behind.

Until the emperor and his entourage walked through a few alleys, the guards had not yet been able to come out of the backyard of the prefect's mansion. In addition, from time to time, there were soldiers running back and forth like headless flies, the black lights were blinding, and no one could see anyone clearly, and the guards were quickly dispersed, separated from the emperor.

After a while, there were less than a hundred guards left to follow the emperor, guarding the emperor inch by inch.

Zhang Yuqing is also gone.

Jin Yongkang probably counted the number of people, and felt a little relieved, as long as he could run out of Nanyang City, these hundred people were enough to protect him and the emperor.

As for Zhang Yuqing, I can't help it, Jin Yongkang sneered in his heart, women are slow, they can't walk if they are squeamish, and they can't help it if they get lost in the dark, who told her to die? Even if Lu Wei is here, he can't say anything.

It's a good thing to get lost, they are running for their lives, and they are not in the way with women!

Zhang Yuqian followed the emperor closely, his eyes widened and he didn't dare to blink, for fear that if he relaxed for a moment, he would be separated from the emperor.

If he gets separated, what will happen after that, Zhang Yuqian can't think about it.

The emperor hurried from the small alley to another city gate, from which it was possible to go to Yizhou.

The soldiers guarding the door held the door and persuaded the emperor not to leave, not to leave behind the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city.

If the emperor was still a little hesitant to flee from Nanyang before, but after coming out, he looked at the chaos, and then looked back at the Yamen of the Nanyang Prefect's Mansion that had been set on fire by the rioting soldiers, and he was really frightened. If he had taken a step too late, would he have been trapped in the fire?

The soldiers who stopped the emperor were beheaded by the emperor's order, opened the city gate, grabbed dozens of war horses and left Nanyang in a hurry.

Jin Yongxiu, who was fighting bravely at the gate of the city and almost drove out all the enemy troops who rushed into the city, heard the soldiers below come to tell him that the emperor had killed the officer guarding the west gate, and when he ran away with Jin Yongxiu and Zhang Yuqian, he almost fell off his horse.

What is he desperately guarding Nanyang for?

The emperor ran away like this! Leave behind their hundreds of thousands of soldiers and run away with the guards!

The emperor is the main general. The Lord will be greedy for life and fear of death to this extent, abandon the city and flee, even if he is the reincarnation of the God of War, he will not be able to defeat the Jiangxia traitor!

"My lord, what shall we do?" The adjutant general asked in horror.

Jin Yongxiu gritted his teeth and said: "First guard the city gate, close it, and then rectify the soldiers, Nanyang can't be chaotic anymore!" ”

If the chaos continues, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will storm the city gate, and the last army of the imperial court will be buried, what else will be used to resist the rebellion of the vassal king, and what will be used to suppress the Red Lotus Sect and Qingzhou Xiangma?

At this time, someone came to report that someone had set fire to the prefect's yamen in the chaos, and now the fire was too big to extinguish the fire, and there was no manpower to extinguish the fire.

Jin Yongxiu turned his head to look in the direction of the prefect's yamen, and the blazing fire reflected in his eyes, causing his pupils to shrink.

In the thick black smoke, a firework burst into the sky, and a golden flower exploded in the dark night sky, probably the fireworks stored in the back house of the prefect's yamen were ignited by the flames.

"Block the news!" Jin Yongxiu immediately decided, "Let's just say that the prefect's yamen is on fire, and the emperor temporarily moves to a house in the south of the city, so don't let people know that the emperor ......."

Before he could finish speaking, someone in the chaotic soldiers screamed, "The emperor has fled!" The emperor left us and fled! ”

"Let's run!"

"We are just using the emperor as a meat shield to block the meat shield of Jiangxia's traitors!"

Jin Yongxiu was furious, pointing at the chaotic crowd and shouting: "Quickly take down these people who confuse the people with gossip and disturb the morale of the army!" Behead in public! ”

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, but turned his horse's head and ran over with the people.

How can this black light be blind to know who is shouting? When the commander-in-chief said these words, there was nothing he could do, and he had to do something to stop the further spread of words that shook the morale of the army.

There was the sound of swords and halberds colliding in the darkness, and it was obvious that some soldiers were directly killed, and Jin Yongxiu's mood became more and more heavy and panicked.

The emperor's escape was revealed, the morale of the army was even more sluggish, and the supplies were delayed, and the soldiers were in chaos like this, even if he could block the impact once or twice, he would have no power to return to the sky.

The anti-thief soldiers who ran in at the city gate were killed, and the scarred, tattered city gate slowly closed.

It's like a stormy and embattled Great Xia court, scarred and tattered, how many years can it last?
