Chapter 245: There is no way out for the siege of the city
Seeing Zhao Min's reaction, Zhao Yu could be sure that she was not ignorant of the inside story of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so she hurriedly went up to find out. However, Zhao Min was tight-lipped and did not reveal the slightest thing to him.
Because of Zhao Yu's words, the atmosphere of the entire manor became tense. Zhao Yu didn't know why, but he only saw those Mongolian warriors going in and out with a dignified face, very busy. At the same time, carrier pigeons continue to rise into the air and fly to the north. Such a solemn atmosphere made Zhao Yu faintly give birth to a trace of enlightenment.
This lasted for most of the day, and at dusk, Zhao Min changed into a strong costume and walked out of the door, and said to Zhao Yu with a solemn expression: "We can't stay here, we have to evacuate immediately." ”
Zhao Yu frowned and said, "What happened? You always have to explain it to me clearly, so that I can cooperate with you." Could it be that there is an inner ghost among your subordinates?"
Zhao Min took a deep breath and said, "I went south to Yangzhou this time to hide from my father, and I brought loyal subordinates that I trusted. However, at first, I thought that Yang Wanzhi was a simpler person, and the fact that we were going to assassinate him may have been leaked. ”
Although she still didn't say it explicitly, Zhao Yu was waiting to sort out a clue about everything, but she came up with a terrifying inference, her face suddenly changed, and just as she was about to speak, Zhao Min had already waved her hand and said: "These things, I will explain them carefully with you later, but now I don't have time to talk about them." ”
When Zhao Yu heard this, he no longer dwelled on this matter, so he said: "Yang Wanzhi must be killed, you are quite short of manpower here, and you are not very optimistic about the enemy, so you should withdraw from Yangzhou early and return to Dadu." Here's where I can take care of it. ”
Zhao Min waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Since I have made it clear that I want to cooperate, how can I give up halfway." Fortunately, my whereabouts are still kept secret, and Yang Wan can't be sure if I've arrived, and we still have time to clean up the aftermath. Hurry up and gather your men, and let's get out of the city first, and then make plans. ”
At this moment, a figure rushed into the manor like a light smoke, but it was Wei who smiled. He looked a little anxious, and before he could stand still, he rushed into the arena and said quickly: "Sect Master, something is not good! The Miao army has surrounded the northern city of Yangzhou, and all the city gates have been blocked! People from all walks of life have entered the city in batches and are checking house by house. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Zhao Min's faces changed, and they secretly said that Yang Wanzhi was so fast. Zhao Minqiao's face turned a little pale, and she rarely bowed her head to Zhao Yu, and said softly: "I'm really sorry, but this time I did something inappropriately, which affected you." ”
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said: "I want to assassinate Yang Wanzhi, you don't know about it, but you can't call it even involved." Moreover, the current situation is not extremely bad, Yangzhou City is prosperous, and Yang Wanzhi may not be able to find us easily. ”
He comforted Zhao Min first, then stepped aside and whispered to Wei Yixiao: "Bat King, Yang Wanzhi didn't know that our Mingjiao was also involved in assassinating him at this time, so you should let the brothers who lurked in Yangzhou City one step ahead of them lurk in peace of mind, and don't show their flaws." Yes, you have been in the government before, and you will go again to make some household registration certificates for your brothers without any flaws. ”
Wei Yi smiled and nodded, and said, "Indeed, I followed the soldiers all the way, and I saw that they were searching with the portrait of the county lord Chitose, but they didn't mention our Mingjiao. Sect Master, we can stay out of this matter, watch the Tartars eat dogs, and wait for the opportunity to get rid of Yang Wan, but we don't have to wade into this troubled water. ”
Zhao Yu nodded with a fixed face, and said with a smile to Wei: "You go and inform the brothers in the secret camp first, and tell them that if it is not necessary, they can avoid meeting each other." ”
Seeing Wei Yixiao's back disappear into the wall, Zhao Yu sighed and turned his head towards Zhao Min.
Zhao Min was also listening attentively to the information sent back by the guards at this time, and his pretty face became more and more solemn. Tens of thousands of Miao troops besieged the entire Yangzhou city, and thousands of people and horses entered the city, and began to search, and some tried to resist the rebels, and they were killed on the streets!
Zhao Min saw Zhao Yu coming over, waved his hand to retreat the guards, squeezed out a smile and said to Zhao Yu: "It seems that we are destined to have no chance to fight side by side in this life, I have to go, the previous agreement, just give up, you can do it yourself." Although your martial arts are high, don't be reckless, Yang Wanzhi's Miao army is extremely brave, and there are tens of thousands of people, but you alone can offend. ”
Zhao Yu only nodded to her, then flew out of the manor and rushed onto the streets of Yangzhou City, which was already a little chaotic.
Seeing Zhao Yu leaving, a trace of loss flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, and when he saw Ku Toutuo, he was slightly aggrieved and whispered: "Master Ku, in fact, when he left Dadu without hesitation a few years ago, I already knew his temperament. But even now, I still have illusions about him, is this self-inflicted?"
Kutoutuo didn't seem to hear it, and didn't react much, just looked at Zhao Min's lowered head, and there was a soft pity in his eyes.
After being depressed for a moment, Zhao Min quickly became excited, and when he raised his head, he had a resolute look again, and said coldly: "That slut Han Ji is really the prince's person! They colluded with Yang Wan to arrest me in Yangzhou, it is nothing more than to fabricate the accusation of my father! I will never let them get their wish!"
At this time, the turmoil in the city became more and more intense. Miao Jun is a more ferocious team than thieves, and has long coveted the prosperous northern city of Yangzhou, but he is afraid of the duty of the town guard, and he does not dare to cause too much trouble. The wails of the people, the shouting of the soldiers, all kinds of noises, even in the manor, can still be heard clearly.
Not long after, all the subordinates brought by Zhao Min to Yangzhou had gathered, a total of more than 40 people, all of whom looked cold and stood in front of the court.
Zhao Minqiao's face was tense, she stood in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, your county lord was harmed by his own people this time, but now he is about to come to a catastrophe." Yang Wan's army is tens of thousands, but we can't match it now. You are either the warriors of our people, or the masters of the Gentiles, all loyal guards of the royal palace. This time, I'm going to rely on you guys to fight to the death. ”
"I am willing to die for the county lord!"
Zhao Min said again: "No matter which of you has an accident this time, your wives and children, old and young, have their own palace to support you for a lifetime! If you slack off one day, you will let my ancestors' heroic spirits not rest in peace under the spring! If I can get out of trouble safely and return to Dadu safely this time, I will definitely cut off the thieves to avenge today's revenge, and help my father to help Dayuan Sheji, so that your sacrifice today will not be fruitless! If I also suffer an accident, then everything will be suspended, and our master and servant will talk about it again under the spring. ”
After speaking, Zhao Min distributed some items that could prove his identity to the people, and ordered them to disperse into the city, waiting for an opportunity to break through and create chaos. After the arrangement stopped, she said in a condensed voice, "Do you know what to do?"
"If you don't let Yang Wan live, it will affect the prince!" everyone responded.
When Zhao Min heard this answer, he took a deep breath and said like a man: "Please!"
After everyone left the manor in batches, only the strong martial arts Kutoutuo and Ah Da were left, Zhao Min took out two secret letters from his arms, handed them to the two of them, and instructed: "Ah Da, you and Master Ku are both strong martial arts people, after those guards make trouble in batches, Yang Wanzhi's army is bound to be slack, if you only insist on breaking through, it is very likely that you will succeed in getting out of trouble." If you have the opportunity to rush out, present this letter to my father. After he saw it, he had his own plans. In this letter, there is a lesson in exchange for blood, and you must first deal with this matter, and do not think of me. ”
Hearing this, Ah Da, who had been unfazed and had a bitter look, changed his face and said astringently: "Master, what should you do?"
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and said: "I am conceited and smart, but I fell into treacherous schemes, which is their primary goal, and it is not easy to get out of trouble." This time, I underestimated the enemy, and I only hoped that it would not affect my father, but as for the rest, I didn't dare to hope for it anymore. ”
Her face was grim, and she waved her hand and said, "You guys leave, I will hide properly." If you are really unfortunate enough to be discovered by Yang Wanzhi's subordinates, even if you stay by my side, it will not be of much help. ”
After Ah Da heard this, he stopped talking, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Min, nodded to Kutoutuo, and left.
And Kutoutuo just looked at Zhao Min, and after Zhao Min gestured and spoke again, he nodded and walked outside the manor. When he walked outside the manor, he reached out and took out the letter in his arms, tore it up, and threw it away, and was about to turn around and walk back, but saw Zhao Yu sweeping over from the river.
