At the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were many guards standing to greet him, and I saw a person in silver armor and a helmet that had just been taken off walk into the gate quickly on a passage made way by two rows of guards. He was Rong Wu, and according to the person who had just reported, General Rong Wu won the battle outside the city and successfully rescued the vanguard cavalry army that was ambushed in front of the main force, which can be said to be a crucial triumphant battle.

Urlo took Todo to see the returning Rongwu at the door of the lobby, so he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

Rong Wu walked quickly in front of the Ula Belt Todo, and then bowed and saluted: "The last general Rong Wu will see the prefect-"

"Hurry up—" Ullo took Todo and hurriedly helped him along.

"Lord Xie—" Rong Wu replied, then stood up as well, and then entered the lobby with Urlo and Todo.

"General Rongwu returned victoriously and helped Yuxing City relieve the siege of the army, this king is really excited-" Wuluo took Todo and said a little excitedly, "Come and tell this king, General Rongwu, how you successfully broke the enemy and rescued the vanguard cavalry." ”

"Yes, my lord—" Eiwu replied again, and then sat down in the seat next to the Urla, with Todo.

Since he rushed back immediately after the victory, Rong Wu was also a little tired now. Rong Wu eased his breath slightly, and then calmly narrated: "Before, you gave the last general 20,000 elite soldiers, and the last general set up an ambush on the hidden mountain on the left wing of the outskirts of the city. Chang Yuchun thought that the two wings had broken the enemy, so he relaxed his vigilance and drew the main cavalry force from the Zhonglu Avenue and prepared to outflank him from both flanks of the mountain. How can I think that our army has already prepared an ambush on the left flank, and often takes advantage of the slack of troops in spring. Sudden killing. Although the enemy cavalry was very large, the mountain roads were rugged, and they were not suitable for cavalry formation. On the contrary, it was our infantry that was flexibly lined up and took the opportunity to kill Chang Yuharu by surprise. However, our main purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to rescue the trapped vanguard cavalry. The enemy's left and right flank cavalry were ambushed, and the middle force that had been drawn out of the main force was naturally much empty. Our cavalry regained its strength, combined with our infantry who had withdrawn to the rear route, repelled the local cavalry in the middle of the road, and successfully broke the siege. And go back to the city. ”

"Good—" Ula took Todo to hear this, and exclaimed loudly, "General Rongwu has indeed lived up to the king's expectations. When General Rongwu asked this king for troops before, he said that he had a plan to break the enemy in his heart, and this king was still a little worried. Today, it seems that General Rong Wu is really far-sighted. Successfully saved Yuxing City from fire and water. Today the king rejoices. Later, I will send someone to set up a big banquet to reward General Rongwu!"

However, after Wuluo took Todo and said that he was going to set up a banquet, Rong Wu was not only not very happy, but stood up and said solemnly: "My lord, it is still too early to set up a celebration banquet, although the last general has rescued the vanguard cavalry, but now it is not to be taken lightly!"

"Oh, they've all won. When the enemy army is ambushed, the morale of the army must be shaken and they will not dare to attack for the time being. Does General Rongwu have any other concerns?" asked Ullo with a smile.

Rong Wu clenched his fists and said resolutely: "My lord, don't underestimate Zhu Yuanzhang." While we have ostensibly succeeded in repelling their attack, it would be a mistake to say that their morale is shaken—"

"Why, what else does General Rongwu think?" asked the Ullo with Todo again.

Rong Wu continued to respond: "Zhu Yuanzhang is not only scheming, but also his tenacity in strategizing cannot be underestimated. Although he suffered a defeat, with his character, he will definitely revive his troops and attack again while our side is relaxed. What's more, the previous ambush only caught them off guard, intended to save the vanguard troops, and did not destroy many enemies; plus Zhu Yuanzhang's Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others are elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and they will definitely find a plan to attack again——"

Urlo took Todo to listen to Rongwu's narration, and felt that it was not unreasonable. So Wuluo took Todo to think quietly, and then asked: "Then according to General Rongwu's meaning, how should General Rongwu play next?"

"If they want to sneak attack, then we will do what we want-" Rong Wu hugged his fists again, "My lord, the last general is willing to personally lead the elite soldiers in the city to guard the Yuxing City Tower, once Zhu Yuanzhang's army comes to attack, the last general will definitely resist desperately and not let the enemy army enter the city for half a step!"

"Okay, what I want is your courage and determination, General Rongwu, you are really a loyal general and righteous soldier of the imperial court!" "According to General Rongwu's wishes, all the elite soldiers in the city are under the command of General Rongwu......!"

"Yes, my lord, the last general will once again live up to the trust of the lord and complete his duties!" Rong Wu said in a firm tone after that, and then turned around and went to arrange the affairs related to the defense of the city......

Although Yuxing City is only a small city, it is not as prosperous as Dadu and Bianliang, but after all, as an important pass through the official road between the north and the south, the military defense here is still quite rigorous. Previously, when Guo Zixing also led the Red Turban Army, Yuxing City has not experienced the baptism of war, whether it is the struggle between warlords, or the struggle between the rebel army and the Mengyuan court, Yuxing City has always been within the jurisdiction of the Mengyuan court and as a defensive military point that the court attaches great importance to. However, in recent years, the warlords in the south have gradually collapsed, and Zhu Yuanzhang has successively defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and his power has further expanded, and the threat to the Mengyuan court has become more and more extensive; on the contrary, the chaos within the court has intensified, the most notable is the expansion of the internal struggle between Timur, Li Siqi and the king of Chatai, which has gradually made the Mengyuan court in China gradually become stormy. The internal and external troubles directly led to the military negligence of the imperial court, and the military strength of Yuxing City was becoming more and more thin......

On the top of the castle tower, Rong Wu, who had just come from the Prime Minister's Mansion, led a long column of subordinates behind him, and slowly walked up the stairs of the castle.

"Stand still—" The general of the guards on the castle tower saw this, and immediately stopped him at the entrance of the staircase, "This is the important place where the castle tower is guarded, and the idlers can't wait to come up-"

Seeing this, Rong Wu took out the gold medal on his body, and then said: "I am ordered by the prefect to come to guard the Yuxing City Tower!"

The general saw the gold medal. He looked at Rongwu's face again, and seemed to recognize it, so he said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Rongwu." It's really disrespectful - the brothers also heard about it just now, General Rongwu returned from a victory, and the prefect was also in the prime minister's mansion to greet him. I don't want General Rongwu to come to guard the city tower so soon, I didn't recognize it, please forgive me-"

"It's okay, they're all their own brothers, why bother seeing each other like this?" Rong Wu also responded. "But to get back to the point, the prefect personally ordered the general to guard here, and please ask the general to please be good-"

"The prefect's order. The last general shouldn't be disobedient to ......" In front of Rong Wu, the general also said with a flattering face, "I don't know...... General, what else do you want?"

Rong Wu took a few steps up the castle tower and looked around. Then he said, "The prefect also said. I want you to remove your subordinates and replace them with the general's subordinates to guard them in case the enemy attacks and counterattacks-"

"Take them all down...... The general's subordinates?" the general wondered.

"What, the prefect's order, you don't obey?" Rong Wu saw that the general was a little suspicious, so he only asked rhetorically.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the prefect's order, how dare the last general disobey? I believe that the enemy army will not dare to invade the city for half a step......" The general laughed again, "Then it depends on what the lord and the general said." The last general led his subordinates to retreat......"

So, the general quickly ordered the soldiers guarding the city tower to retreat, and replaced them with the guards under Rong Wu.

Rong Wu looked around the city tower again, and then looked at the half-snowed and half-sand wasteland in front of the city, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......

Speaking of Tang Zhan and the others, the four of them were directly escorted into the dungeon by Wuluo and Todo's men. The dungeon in Yuxing City is extremely dark and humid, and it is now the cold winter season, and it is even more bitterly cold for ordinary people to stay under the dungeon. There weren't many prisoners held under the dungeon, but most of them were dying people who had already been executed, with little to no life. Occasionally, a few terrible screams came from different prison cells, which made those who heard it feel even more creepy......

Tang Zhan and the others were directly imprisoned in the innermost two cells, and because they were two men and two women, the four of them were also separated into the two opposite cells. Anyway, the terrain of this cell is not very complicated, and the guards are also very lax, and it doesn't look very scary. But Tang Zhan and the others are still tied behind their backs, and the weapons on their bodies have long been escorted, and it is still impossible for the four of them to escape from the dungeon alone......

"Really, it's just four people, and it's divided into men's and women's cells, and the cells are so dirty-" Li Yuru, who has always had a spicy personality, couldn't help but be the first to can't help but complain when she and Lu Jing were locked in the corner cell.

Zhao Zichuan, who was locked up with Tang Zhan in another cell opposite, saw it, shook his head and said, "Please, this is a prison, you should be an inn?

"What kind of tone are you?" Li Yuru heard Zhao Zichuan's words, and said in a retort, "What is contentment, do you enjoy it when you are still in prison?"

"I guess we still have a very important use value, so Urlo took Tordo so that our situation was not too embarrassing......" Lu Jing added.

Li Yuru really couldn't stand it, kicked heavily on the earthen wall of the cell, and complained casually: "Hmph, I think when I was a 'Yangzhou Woman', I decided to die to fight against violence and Anliang, how could I have suffered such a nest?"

Li Yuru's complaint was indeed a little louder, and it made a noise to the jailer guarding on the side. One of the jailers heard it and shouted loudly: "Bold prisoners, they are all in prison, and they are still making noise, do you want to lose your head in advance?"

"Lose your head?" Li Yuru was not afraid, and continued to say, "If this girl is not tied up and imprisoned now, maybe who will lose her head?

"Where did this wild girl come from, speaking wildly? If it weren't for the prefect's order, believe it or not, my grandfather, I would have chopped off your tongue?" the jailer continued to say fiercely.

Even if she was locked up in the dungeon, and now she was verbally humiliated by the jailer, Li Yuru, who has always had a fierce personality, could not bear it, she couldn't wait to rush out of the cell door immediately, and then stomp the jailer on the ground.

However, Lu Jing beside her shook her head at Li Yuru. It is intended to stop Li Yuru. Li Yuru thought that Lu Jing had also said that there was a way to get out before, so she gritted her teeth and held back without making a sound, but she still cast a murderous look at the jailer.

"Alright. Since you're already in prison, you can stop for a while......" Zhao Zichuan was afraid that Li Yuru would make trouble, so he reminded again.

"Hmph, you'll always be there talking cool things, and you don't want to think about it, it's really a......" Li Yuru couldn't talk back to the jailer, so she poured her anger on Zhao Zichuan's body.

"Hey. How can I say that I am also your husband, how can I scold my husband for being a wretch?" Zhao Zichuan was not to be outdone, and retorted. "Besides, looking at you like this, how do you look like a girl? I don't know whether you are screaming or making trouble, and you are wilder than Jingmei-"

"Hey. What does this have to do with me?" Lu Jing heard Zhao Zichuan inadvertently hack herself. So he squinted at Zhao Zichuan and responded.

"What's wrong with my wildness, it's better than you, a scumbag-" Li Yuru just refused to show weakness, even in front of her husband, she was still spicy.

"If I hadn't heard Sister Jing say that there was a way to get out, I wouldn't have been at the mercy of others......" Zhao Zichuan pouted and said softly, "By the way, Sister Jing, didn't you say that there is a way to get out?" Can't you reveal that now?"

Lu Jing listened and smiled secretly. Then he said to Zhao Zichuan: "Does the bet you made with me before count?"

"Isn't it just at your beck and no longer provoke you?" Zhao Zichuan said helplessly, "Okay, okay, anyway, I won't mess with you in the future, ......"

Lu Jing secretly glanced at the jailers on the side, and found that they didn't pay attention to their side anymore, so she immediately smiled and said softly: "Didn't you pay attention, my brother and my brother have not been ......there all this time."

"Noticed......," Li Yuru also replied softly, "It's just that we don't know where they went......?" Sister Jing, your plan has something to do with the two of them?"

Lu Jing continued to smile and said: "Actually, I figured it out from the beginning, since there are only four of us on the wanted warrant, then the attention of Wuluo and Todo will definitely not be deliberately focused on my brother and my brother, we can just use this to help us get out......"

"What kind of solution is that, could it be that the two of them came back to save us?" Zhao Zichuan asked softly again.

"Wait quietly, it's only a matter of time before the plan succeeds......" Lu Jing said with a smile again.

"It's the same as not saying it, I still have to stay in this cell......" Zhao Zichuan got up and said sarcastically, "I don't know if Lu Dao can survive until the two of them come over, tomorrow Brother Tang will give the answer to Wuluo with Todo......"

Speaking of Tang Zhan here, everyone turned their attention to Tang Zhan, who was silent on the side. In fact, after Tang Zhan left the lobby, he has been thinking about the question of his choice - if he does not agree, then the innocent people of Wangjia Village will be trampled by the Mengyuan Iron Horseman......

Of course, the other three also understood Tang Zhan's hesitation, if it was them, it would definitely be difficult for them to make a choice.

"Brother Tang, I know that you are in a difficult situation now, and it is difficult to make a choice...... Zhao Zichuan could only shake his head helplessly at this time, "Now I can only wait, before I am released from prison tomorrow, see if Brother Lu Zhao and Xiao Meng can find a way to save us from prison......"

Tang Zhan also looked hesitant, and he also stood up slightly. Suddenly, something in his waist was lightly stuck in the stone crack of the earthen wall. Tang Zhan seemed to realize something, and immediately looked at his waist - it was the half of the dragon pattern jade pendant that Sun Yun had given him before. Fortunately, they were not changed into prison clothes, and the dragon pattern jade pendant on Tang Zhan's waist was still there.

"No matter what the choice is, the first thing we have to do is to escape from here-" Lu Jing thought for a moment and said softly and seriously.

Tang Zhan stared at the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist for a long time, and seemed to have figured out something in his heart, only to hear him say softly: "I know that I will definitely come out of here, because there are still people waiting for me......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Tang Zhan again. And what Tang Zhan was thinking at this time, only Tang Zhan knew best in his heart...... (To be continued......)
