Emperor Chongwen was not far behind them, and there were his own people in front of him, left and right, and he was safe for the time being. The short rest of the mahout elephant Wei Qianhu made him feel better, and he was clear about what happened to Qianhe, but he didn't care about these things. Wu Liang's death did not scare his soul, and after the initial shock, he fell into confusion.

From an early age, his grandfather, Emperor Gao, invited famous Confucians from all over the world to teach him the way of a gentleman. He has also been working hard to realize the teachings of the saints, being benevolent and filial, treating others with sincerity, and thinking nine times a day. He has always believed that only the inner saint can be the outer king, and the words of the saint are the only way to govern the country.

However, since he ascended the throne of God, he has found that there may not be much help for attaining the Tao, and there may not be much help for losing the Tao, and governing the country and the words of the saints are completely incompatible, which completely subverts his cognition.

Just like the matter in front of them, the Liu Li brothers and the other guards rode on tall horses, brandishing flags, guns, and swords, fiercely driving the flow of people in front of them, opening the way for the team, and they walked significantly faster. They mercilessly knocked the old and weak women and children to the ground, overturned the bulky vehicles, ignored the screams of the women, ignored the wails of the old men and the boys, and were so vicious.

The sage said that the way to forgiveness is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and if these poor refugees were their relatives, what could they do? Liu Li and these people are obviously not gentlemen, to be precise, they are out-and-out villains, fierce villains.

But these people are his most loyal guards and greatest dependents, and they sacrifice their lives to protect themselves. In the face of the flames, some people stepped forward to die for him, and in the face of twice as many enemies, they did not hesitate to draw their swords and fight, and used their flesh and blood to defend him against the iron and sharp soldiers. In this way, they are rare loyal people in the world.

So are these people villains or righteous people? He couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it.

If he didn't understand these things, even if he escaped the pursuit of King Yan, what could he do? One blow after another made him think that maybe the words of the sages taught to him by the masters were wrong, and they were not imperial techniques. But how is this possible? Didn't the sages of the past follow the teachings of the sages and rule the world? Song Taizu was able to rule the world with half of his treatises, but why couldn't he do it when it came to himself?

He is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and he can't defeat King Yan with the power of the world, which shows that something was wrong in the past. He is now a fugitive, if he continues to make mistakes, how can he make a comeback and recapture the Dakang Jiangshan entrusted to him by his grandfather, Emperor Gao.

What was wrong with him?

Touching his waist, Kunyu's tentacles were slightly cool, this was stuffed into his waist when Wu Liang was waiting for him to change clothes, he didn't feel it at the time, and he found it when he arrived at the Elephant Elephant Wei Zuo Qianhu, took it out and stared at it in his hand, and Pu Jiao looked hideous and terrifying in the moonlight.

Legend has it that Pu Lao lives on the seashore, and although he is a dragon, he is afraid of the huge shark salamander in the sea, and when he encounters the big one, he will let out a terrified roar, and the sound is like a bell. Why did grandfather like to play with such a thing, and what did that powerful and invincible old man imply?

Liu Li didn't care what Emperor Chongwen thought, now he just wanted to get out of the city as quickly as possible, and several military men were rampage in the flow of people, and they forced themselves out of a road, and saw the Waiguo Gaoqiao Gate from a distance. The fortified city had been broken, and the soldiers defending the city had long since fled, and the gates were wide open, and the flow of fleeing people rushed through the narrow passage to the safety of the city.

Just when Emperor Chongwen was about to escape from Ascension, a terrible cry came from the night: "The Northern Army is coming, and there is no escape!"

An earth-shattering loud bang exploded like a huge hornet's nest, and the crowd surged back like crazy, staggering Liu Li and the others, and the most worrying thing happened.

Liu Li shouted: "Rush out of the city, gather together and don't run away!"

The soldiers and men rode their horses to the left and right of Emperor Chongwen and tightly guarded him in the center. Liu Li drew his saber and slashed wildly through the crowd, and all the soldiers also showed their blades, urging their mounts to rush and kill, and miserable wails and angry curses sounded in the darkness. The small team is like a moving reef, passing against the tide, and the waves crash against the hard reef and shatter.

They fought their way out of the high bridge gate. Under the moonlight, countless figures outside the city fled in the dark, and they couldn't see the banner of the Northern Army at all. Liu Li turned around and saw that Emperor Chongwen was behind him, and the guards were generally neat, only the sergeants Chu Liang and Wang Yu ran away, and they were swept away by the crowd and did not know where to go.

Liu Li said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, it is not dawn yet, there can be no large-scale troop mobilization, and the most people who appear in Nanguo are some scouts of the Northern Army." We went east, ran in the direction of Jurong, and fought when we met the enemy, and if we ran away, we met in Chunhua Town. ”

"Wow!" the soldiers hurriedly agreed, these people had the idea of death, but they did not have the nervousness and confusion before the war.

Liu Li pulled the horse's head and galloped away in the darkness of the first face, the soldiers and men followed behind, Liu Guan and Wang Hui held Emperor Chongwen, and Lin Yanghao broke off.

Five miles east of Gaoqiaomen is Fangshan Mountain and Qinglong Mountain, and there is a low hill between them, which is the avenue leading to Jurong. There were black shadows scurrying everywhere in the darkness, and the earth-shattering cries resounded throughout the wilderness, and Liu Li and a few others were not conspicuous among the fleeing people.

It is important to escape, and all the soldiers and men do not spare their horsepower, but fortunately, they are all good horses in Liaodong, and they have a lot of strength, and they have reached the hilly area north of Fangshan in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, I felt the flow of people start to run back again, and I saw a team of torches in the distance, and some soldiers of the Northern Army straddled the horses and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yan has an order, no one is allowed to leave the city, and those who go out of the city will be killed!

Then I heard the humming sound of a bowstring, someone screamed, and a large crowd of people poured towards Liu Li and the others. Liu Li pulled out his saber and shouted: "Don't listen to their nonsense, there is a fire in the city, the northern army is slaughtering the city, and it is a dead end to go back, they can't stop us, and they want to rush over with me alive!"

The soldiers cut down a few people who were running around, and shouted, "If you want to live, come with us... "At this time, the refugees have long been headless flies, running around under the desire to survive, and they can't tell the direction at all. At this time, someone led the way, and unconsciously followed, and they rushed towards the group of northern army scouts with a large number of refugees.

Arrows kept shooting in the darkness, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground, but the crowd still gathered more and more, surging towards the torches.

The scout of the northern army led by him is a general banner, with 50 elite cavalry under his command, each of whom is a skilled man with bows and horses. But even if they could fight again, they couldn't stop the crowd of thousands of people, and the general flag couldn't help but panic, and the bow in his hand didn't know where to shoot. But when he saw a fast horse suddenly rushing out of the crowd, he pounced on him, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and the arrow hurriedly pointed at the enemy.

At the moment of life and death, he couldn't flinch in the slightest, Liu Li kicked the horse's belly violently, and the war horse rushed towards the general flag like crazy. An arrow flew against his cheek, and he didn't care to be afraid, and in an instant he passed by the general flag, and the sharp blade cut through the armor, and opened a large hole between the chest and abdomen, and the intestines flowed out, and the general flag fell off the horse with a scream, and was trampled by the crazy crowd, and soon disappeared.

Before the other scouts could react, several horses had already rushed into their ranks, and the people who had crashed into them were on their backs. Behind, thousands of people had already poured in, completely submerging the small group.

Liu Li rushed through the battle column of the scouts of the Northern Army, the speed of the horse slowly decreased, he reined in the war horse and looked back, and the crowd of people gathered quickly dispersed. Liu Guan and Wang Hui held Emperor Chongwen hostage and immediately stood out in the crowd, which was very conspicuous, and in the distance, Li Qiqian, a warrior of the Longxiang Guard, had already ridden his horse to follow, but the others were gone.

This charge was short and swift, if the horse fell there was no possibility of survival, it seemed that Lin Yanghao and they had been killed, and the 50 scouts of the Northern Army were also trampled to death by countless pairs of feet, thinking of the thrill just now, Liu Li was still frightened.

He also put his knife into the sheath, beckoned everyone to gather, looked left and right, and found that only four of the 17 brothers in the tunnel were left, each with wounds, and one of them was a seriously injured eunuch.

He didn't care about the sadness, and looked at Emperor Chongwen first. The young emperor was dressed in a blue cloth and wrapped in a green handkerchief on his head, and he looked like a country gentleman on his horse. There was no blood on his body, but he still had an indifferent look and didn't say a word.

The emperor is safe, the situation is critical, Liu Li had no intention of entanglement with Emperor Chongwen, turned his head to look at Wang Hui and asked, "Princess, how are you injured?"

Wang Hui said sharply: "It's okay. "This is the first time everyone has heard the voice of this majestic eunuch, like a woman.

Liu Li looked at the dark and secluded Qinglong Mountain in the north, and could see the boundless campfire in the distance, where was the army of King Yan. He calmly said to everyone: "King Yan's army is outside Chaoyang Gate, less than 10 miles away from us, it will be dawn soon, they will soon outflank the south of the city, it won't be long before the army will pursue us, we can't rest, we must set off to Chunhua Town immediately." Remember, no matter what happens, you can't reveal the identity of Banzai, you can only call Banzai Sun Daguanren. ”

Li Qiqian said: "There is no problem with people, Marco can't stand it, Chunhua is still 30 miles, not close." ”

Liu Li said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about horsepower, run to death." ”

The crowd agreed, and galloped away into the darkness to the east.
