Seeing Zhu Wen hesitating, Li Zhen persuaded: "These foolish people rely on the large number of people, and the law does not blame the public, obviously they don't take Your Majesty and the general's orders in their eyes, according to what their subordinates see, it is better to kill a few of them, and they will never dare to argue with the general again!"

Zhu Wen sneered: "Li Zhen, I didn't expect you, a scholar, to have such a ruthless heart! Okay, General Ben will depend on you!", after speaking, seeing Li Zhen standing there still, he deliberately asked: "Li Zhen, why don't you carry out General Ben's orders?"

Li Zhen muttered, "What does the general mean to let his subordinates kill people?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Haha, Secretary Li, you are the person that Ben Shuai likes, you have a lot of ideas, but you don't have enough guts, Ben Shuai will refine your courage today!", after speaking, he took a sword from his waist and handed it to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen took the trembling long sword and moved towards the kneeling old man step by step. When the old man saw Li Zhen raising his sword and pressing towards him, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The old man shouldn't live to be so old, how good it is to die ten years early, how can he not end up in a violent corpse on the street! God, open your eyes and see, is there any justice in this?"

Li Zhen had never killed anyone, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhu Wen's order, so he had to close his eyes and swing his sword at the old man's head. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Xu Zhi hurriedly glanced at An Jingsi, An Jingsi understood, popped a small pebble from his sleeve and shot at Li Zhen's wrist.

After Li Zhen was shot, he screamed, threw down the long sword in his hand, and retreated again and again. Zhu Wen didn't know why, and thought that Li Zhen was deliberately pretending to be a ghost and couldn't be ruthless, so he scolded: "It's really a coward, you don't even dare to kill a half-dead person, then let Ben Shuai do it for you!", after speaking, he raised the spear in his hand and stabbed at the old man.

When the people saw this, they knelt down and begged for mercy: "The little ones are willing to hand over the rations at home, and ask the general to let us live, let us go out of the city and escape from the famine!"

Zhu Wen saw that the purpose of collecting grain had been achieved, and said with a deliberate smile: "Fathers, we are also acting in accordance with the holy decree of today's long live, and you have cooperated earlier, so you can avoid so much embarrassment!"

The people offered a little rice and noodles in the package. Zhu Wen asked Zhang Zhifang to collect all these rice grains in a centralized manner, but there were only less than 1,000 loads, which was not enough for the expenses of the defenders in the city for ten days.

Zhu Wen saw that all the people had given rice and grain, and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, open the city gate and let the people out of the city!"

Zhang Zhifang asked in surprise: "General Zhu, you can't let these people escape from Chang'an, otherwise the officers and soldiers will know the truth of our army?"

Xu Zhi and the others were also very puzzled: Could it be that Zhu Wen was so kind today. At this time, the defenders reluctantly opened the gates, and when the people saw that the gates were wide open, they poured out of the city. Xu Zhi and others also took the opportunity to leave Chang'an City.

As soon as the people came out of the city gate, they saw that the city gate was suddenly closed and the drawbridge of the moat was also pulled up, so they knew that Zhu Wen had fallen into the trap, and Zhu Wen stood on the city tower and ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows under the city. Suddenly arrows rained down, and the people saw that there was a moat more than three zhang wide in front of them blocking the way, and there was no way to retreat, so they had to jump into the piercing moat one after another, and those who could not swim could only stay in place and wait for death.

Zhou Yuanzhi couldn't bear to see so many people being slaughtered, and raised his head to the city tower and shouted: "Zhu Wen, the people have already paid the surplus grain, and you still want to wantonly slaughter the people in the city, are you still human?"

He Mengjiao also scolded: "He is a brute with a batch of human skins!Jingsi, teach him a lesson!", after speaking, Chao An Jingsi gave a look. An Jingsi understood, and popped out two stones from his sleeve, one shot at Zhu Wen on the city tower, and the other shot down the plaque of "Yongjin Gate" at the head of the city.

Zhu Wen saw that a hidden weapon was shooting at him, so he hurriedly turned his head to dodge, but he was still pierced by a stone in his ear. Zhu Wen covered his bleeding ears and shouted: "Kill, kill me, not a single one will be left!" After a while, the city gate was opened, and Zhang Zhifang led the righteous soldiers in the city to rush out of Yongjinmen, raising his sword to intercept and kill the fleeing people.

Ran was filled with anger, shouted, picked up the stick in his hand, and broke the front leg of Zhang Zhifang's mount with one move of "sweeping thousands of troops". Zhang Zhifang hurriedly tightened the reins, jumped off the horse, and fought with Zhiran.

Xu Zhi held the Fengming sword to block the rush of more than a dozen volunteer soldiers, and at the same time led the people to flock to the moat. Xue Atan saw that the people saw the cold river, they all stopped, refused to wade through the water, and shouted helplessly: "Brother Xu, this river is deep and cold, and the people are unwilling to risk their lives, what should I do?"

Xu Zhijian wanted to let the people cross the moat smoothly, the only way to put down the suspended suspension bridge was to put down the suspended suspension bridge, and he shouted to the reason beside him: "Senior brother, let's cut the rope of the suspension bridge together, put the suspension bridge down, and let the people cross the river!" After speaking, he performed the light skill of gecko climbing the wall and climbed up along the back of the steep suspension bridge.

After hearing this, he also followed Xu Zhi and jumped onto the suspension bridge. When the soldiers on the city tower saw that someone was going to climb the drawbridge, they hurriedly shouted: "Oh no, tell Lord Zhu quickly, someone is going to climb the drawbridge and kill the city tower!"

Zhu Wen said angrily: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite, the Yellow King has repeatedly tolerated this Xu Zhi, he even openly opposed the Yellow King, came to shoot arrows at the suspension bridge below, and shot Xu Zhi and other rebels!"

When those soldiers saw that there was the princess of the Yellow King under the city, they hesitated for a while, but when they saw that Zhu Wen drew the sword in his hand and personally supervised the battle, they had to bite the bullet and bend their bows and arrows to shoot at the drawbridge.

He turned over and dodged a few random arrows, and said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Zhi, I managed to use the drawbridge to jump on the city tower and kill those shooters, so you can take the opportunity to cut the ropes on the drawbridge!"

Xu Zhi saw that the highest end of the suspension bridge was still one or two feet away from the city tower, and under the noses of the soldiers, it was very dangerous to jump from there to the city tower, so he shouted: "Senior brother, don't try, it's very dangerous!"

Cause replied: "If you can't jump on the tower and kill those soldiers who shoot arrows, not only thousands of people, but we will also die tragically under this Chang'an city, if you have to sacrifice to save the suffering people, then let the cause bear it!", after speaking, he turned over and turned to the front of the drawbridge.

When the soldiers on the tower saw this, they all shot arrows at Yin, who had just turned to the front of the drawbridge and stood unsteadily, and saw ten thousand arrows coming, so they had to wave their sticks to block while rolling their bodies to dodge, but they still couldn't withstand the rain of arrows, and their bodies were full of arrow feathers.

Xu Zhi saw it and shouted: "Senior brother, danger, jump off the suspension bridge!"

Because he didn't answer, he endured the sharp pain in his heart, roared, stood up, stepped on the top of the suspension bridge, and jumped up more than two feet high with the elastic force of the suspension bridge swaying up and down, and jumped onto the head of the golden gate of Chang'an.

Because of his own safety, a move "cross-splitting Huashan", followed by a stick "Mount Tai pressing the top", and another "autumn wind sweeping the leaves", knocked down the shooters on the city tower one by one, but because he was surrounded by more and more soldiers, and gradually saw his figure.

Xu Zhi took advantage of the chaos on the city tower, turned over and jumped from the back of the suspension bridge to the front, swung his sword and struggled to cut off one end of the suspension bridge, and then grabbed the broken rope, like a swing, jumped to the other end, and cut the end of the suspension rope with all his might. I heard a loud "boom", and the drawbridge at the head of the city fell, not only did it not stand on the moat, but it broke into several sections, and was about to be washed away by the flowing river.

An Jingsi and Xue Atan saw that the falling suspension bridge was not well driven, the two jumped into the moat regardless of the cold, and their spirit also infected more than a dozen young men, and they also jumped into the river one after another, struggling to drag the broken pontoon bridge, swimming to the other side of the river, and dozens of people stood in the water to make bridge piers, so that the mobile pontoon bridge was erected and erected.

Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao saw that the pontoon bridge had been built, and led thousands of people along the suspension bridge to quickly cross the moat, away from the pursuit of the soldiers in the city.

At this time, Zhu Wen's sharp sneer came from the city tower: "Listen to the rebel party downstairs, your companion is also beheaded by us, if you resist stubbornly, he will be your fate!", after speaking, he threw the head and body of the cause to the city.

In order to gain time for the fleeing people to cross the river, the three of them lined up in a row, and after the city gate was broken, they used the sticks in their hands to block Zhang Zhifang's army, and suddenly heard the news of the martyrdom of the senior brother, and they were all shocked.

Hearing the bad news, the pain in his heart was sharp, his eyes were blurred, coupled with his exhaustion, he was gradually taken over by Zhang Zhifang, until Zhang Zhifang used his sword through his stick and stabbed him in the chest. Foolish junior brother, most of the people have crossed the moat, our task is almost completed, you are the only few remaining fires in my Shaolin, you have to listen to the words of the third senior brother, retreat quickly, and follow Xu Zhi and them out of Chang'an!"

Zhang Zhifang was very shocked when he saw that he was trapped by Zhiran, and was caught in his trap, so he had to abandon his sword and retreat, shouting: "Soldiers, all rush to this general!", at this time, dozens of war horses rushed towards Ran, anger, and foolishness.

Seeing the anger and the fool's eyes, he was reluctant to retreat for a long time, and ordered loudly: "If you don't leave, it's too late to leave, you must always remember the spirit of Shaolin!", after speaking, he pushed the two of them behind him with the stick in his hand.

Turning around, he raised his club and slashed another horse, pulling one of the generals off his horse and throwing him at the soldiers behind him. After a little slowness, he was surrounded by Zhang Zhifang's horse array, but he was not afraid, picked up the wooden stick, slashed left and right, stabbed forward and back, and killed more than a dozen soldiers, and finally was outnumbered, knocked to the ground by a war horse, and died tragically under the hooves of the horses.

At this time, Xu Zhi jumped off the suspension bridge, and saw that Yin and Zhi Ran had died tragically, and he was afraid that the Shaolin monks would make any mistakes, so he struggled through the flow of people before he found the two of them who were angry and stupid. Xu Zhi wanted to rush back and recapture the corpse hanging on the city gate, but when he saw Zhang Zhifang holding a long sword and commanding hundreds of archers, he was about to shoot the people who had no time to cross the river.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Xu Zhi didn't dare to take the risk of snatching back the body of Yin Heran, so he had to hug the anger with one hand and hold the idiot with the other, and performed light skills to cross the moat quickly.

An Jingsi and Xue Atan saw that Xu Zhi and the others had crossed the moat safely, and they were afraid that Zhang Zhifang would also take the opportunity to rush across the river, so they quickly disbanded the human bridge, and then swam to the opposite bank to meet Xu Zhi and others.

Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao, An Jingsi, Xue Atan, Anger, and Fool had all crossed the river safely, but the two of them were missing, and he was sad in his heart, and led everyone to kneel, and paid tribute to the two of them on the other side of the river, so he followed the fleeing people and traveled all the way to the west.

Everyone walked for a few days, and saw that Chang'an's west out of the throat Dasanguan had been recaptured by the Tang army. Only then did I know that Huang Chao since he occupied Chang'an, greedy for enjoyment, not enterprising, and did not have the ambition to pursue the remnants of the official army by victory, so that the imperial court got a chance to breathe, killed a horse pistol, and surrounded Chang'an City, and now Luoyang outside the pass has been lost, leaving only the two states of Tong, Hua near Chang'an are still in the hands of the rebels.

Seeing that it was a fleeing person from Chang'an, the Tang army who had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light found a few people and asked about the situation of the Chang'an Righteous Army, and then let the people go out of the pass. Xu Zhi and the others went out of the Great Scattered Pass and found a dense forest to rest.

Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "Since my father took Luoyang, he has gradually become arrogant, and he can no longer hear advice, he only likes the flattering words of Zhu Wen and others, and now the foundation of Daqi is unstable, and the wind and rain are shaking, which is also the cruelty of the father to the people of Chang'an!"

Xu Zhi persuaded: "Yuan Zhi doesn't have to be sad, now the Yellow King does not want to save the people, but harms the people, how is this different from the ancient tyrants, the heavens can not only be with it, but also take it! Although we express sympathy, we are also helpless!"

He Mengjiao also persuaded: "Sister Zhou, what Brother Xu said is reasonable, King Huang only knows how to take food from the mouths of the people to feed his soldiers and solve his urgent needs, but he forgets that if his country does not have the support of thousands of people in the world, how can it last for a long time?"

Zhou Yuanzhi said with tears: "I also understand the truth, but from a personal point of view, he is my father after all, even if there are thousands of mistakes, but there is also the grace of feeding, the love of flesh and blood!"

Because of the sacrifice of the senior brother and the third senior brother, he has always been full of resentment towards Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, he stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister Zhou only remembered her own selfish kindness, but forgot that Huang Wang and Zhu Wen had a deep hatred for our blood sea, they slaughtered the people, but said that because Senior Brother He Ran had taken Guanzhong for the righteous army and established the Great Qi, they did not think about revenge, but brutally killed the two senior brothers, and now they haven't even found the bones, how can this not make people resentful?"

The idiot's words also resonated with An Atan, An Jingsi and Li, and they all said: "Brother Xu, Sister Zhou, although the idiot doesn't like what he says, what he says is what the brothers want to say, since King Huang is unkind and unjust, then the brothers don't need to protect him anymore! His success or failure should also be left to fate!"

Xu Zhi saw that several brothers were resentful of Huang Chao, afraid that they would use this to spill their resentment on Zhou Yuanzhi, and persuaded: "What the brothers said is reasonable, we are all Shaolin children and hot-blooded men, although we can't save the world, but we can't help the abuse, and help a faint king to kill the people." But I also hope that everyone can forgive Yuan Zhi, she is as innocent as us, she is also a victim of Huang Wang and Zhu Wen, she abandoned her glory and wealth, and traveled thousands of miles to walk with us in tribulation, which also shows that she is different from Huang Wang and Zhu Wen, she is kind and loves the people!"

An Jingsi listened to it and knew that Xu Zhi was too careful, and said ashamedly: "Brother Xu, don't worry, no matter how big the grievances of our brothers are, we don't dare to offend Sister Zhou!"

Xue Atan continued: "Brother Xu, don't worry, Miss Zhou is our future sister-in-law, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to her, the first brother will not let him go?"

After listening to it, he also said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, no matter how confused we are, we know that grievances must be clear, even if we go to take revenge and settle accounts, we should find Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, the evil consequences they planted have nothing to do with our future sister-in-law!"

Zhou Yuanzhi listened to the words of Xue Atan and the others, her face was flushed with shame, she glanced at Xu Zhi shyly, and stopped talking.

Xu Zhi continued: "Although we are out of the Great Scattered Pass and out of the pursuit of the rebels, what are we going to do in the future?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, He Mengjiao said with a smile: "Big brother, little sister has an idea: why don't we go all the way west, leave this chaotic Central Plains, follow the ancient Silk Road, go to the far west, and go to see the Tianshan Mountains and Snow Lotus?"

An Jingsi and Xue Atan listened to He Mengjiao's words, and they were also very yearning, and they all applauded.

Zhou Yuanzhi stopped: "Although Miss He's idea is good, but now the ancient road from Chang'an to the Western Regions has long been cut off by Tubo, and besides, it is thousands of miles away from the Western Regions, how can I get there?"

When An Jingsi and Xue Atan heard this, they both sighed and asked, "Then Miss Yizhou, where should we go?"

Zhou Yuanzhi didn't answer yet, and said angrily: "Miss Zhou's words are reasonable, since the road to the east and west is more difficult, why don't we turn north, cross the Yellow River, and go to Hebei?"

Before everyone could answer, the idiot preemptively said: "It's not okay to go to Hebei, then aren't we going to be a messenger for Huangchao?"

An Jingsi saw that the resentment against Huang Chao in his heart had not been eliminated, and persuaded: "Idiot, since Huang Wang has broken with us, we don't have to pay attention to his bullshit mission, let's go to Hebei for a visit, isn't it!"

Xu Zhi suddenly remembered what Wang Jin said to himself before leaving, and visited the Jinyang Mansion to see if he could find any clues of the annotation of "Tui Bei Tu", and he told everyone what he thought. When everyone heard this, they were very curious, and they all expressed their willingness to accompany Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi instructed everyone to rest early and set off early tomorrow morning to Taiyuan, Hedong. Xu Zhi turned around and saw a dark shadow passing in front of his eyes, quickly disappearing into the gloomy woods. Xu Zhi was very familiar with this back, but he didn't know whether this person was friend or foe for a while, so he had to tell everyone to be careful.
