Chapter 166: The Valley of Death Rescues the Imperial City

Li An, who saw the salute, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put away the blade of the sword, and then said to Li Qin in front of him: "Boy, count you lucky, let you live for a few more days for the time being." ”

After speaking, I saw Li An jump up, like a flying swallow, and went into the distance, everyone saw this, and knew that it was not an opponent, so they did not go to pursue it. Then several people walked towards Li Qin and helped him up.

"Niangniang! Niangniang!" At this time, hearing someone coming from outside the door, Queen Mu hurriedly stood up, and then walked towards the guards of the Imperial Forest Army in front of her.

"What's the matter? Is the palace gate broken?" Seeing the Royal Forest Army in front of him looking so flustered, he didn't feel a burst of surprise, and then hurriedly asked.

"No, just when the palace gate was broken, suddenly a strong man led a group of people to beat the rebels away. When the Imperial Forest Army heard Queen Wood's words, he immediately smiled, and then said to Queen Wood in front of him.

"What? Li An was beaten away, where is this person now, bring me quickly!" When Empress Mu heard this, she didn't feel a burst of joy, then stood up, and then ordered to the Imperial Forest Army in front of her.

The Imperial Forest Army responded to the call, and then went to the door, and after a while, Li Qin covered his wounds and came to the palace, and saw Queen Mu sitting on the court, so he knelt down to Queen Mu and saluted: "The grass people knock to see the queen mother, and the queen mother is a thousand years old." When Queen Mu saw that Li Qin had taken his injury, she hurriedly said to the palace maid beside her: "What are you doing in a daze? Go and help this young man up." Then he said: "If you are not a young knight, how should you call it?" Queen Mu asked Li Qin in front of her with a smile.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the villain's name is Li Qin, the righteous son of Li Xiaotian, the world's first dart game, and today he was ordered by his father to come to do a little responsibility for the people. Li Qin clenched his fists and bowed his head and replied. Then he covered his wound and coughed a few times.

"This is a matter of life and death, how can your father-in-law take such a risk, isn't he afraid of offending Li An?" When Empress Mu heard Li Qin's words, she didn't feel very puzzled, so she inquired about him.

"Niangniang, you don't know, the last time the court lost the military salary case is our first dart game dart, fortunately Niangniang is magnanimous, did not pursue our first dart board for the sin, so my father has always been grateful, now the court is in trouble, how can I sit idly by. Li Qinyi said to Queen Mu rhetorically, and Queen Mu also nodded again and again, with a pleased smile on her face, and then said: "Not bad, good, very good! Very good! A few of you will help the young man to heal his injuries first, and the others will go outside the palace gate to support the Imperial Forest Army." ”

"No, Niangniang, although the enemy army of Li An's traitors has just been defeated, but Li An escaped by luck, this person now does not know what swordsmanship he has learned, and his skills are amazing, if everyone goes to the city gate to support, then the palace must be empty. It is better to send some people to search for Li An's whereabouts in the imperial city first, and the other part is responsible for Niangniang's safety. Hearing Queen Mu's words, Li Qin, who had already stepped out of the door with his front foot, put his foot back again, and then said to the queen. In addition, a few people on the side also spoke to Queen Mu.

"Okay, Agui, you go and send someone to investigate Ang Lee's traces, once Ang Lee appears, you can cut it first. I saw Queen Mu turn to the eunuch Agui beside her and said, Agui was ordered to go, and Queen Mu then said to a young general of the Royal Forest Army beside her: "You now send someone to guard the palace gate, and the other flying pigeon will pass the book to inform the reinforcements who come to the capital as soon as possible." ”

"Qi Yu Niangniang, there are no less than 100 carrier pigeons that have flown out today, but they have just flown out of the city tower, and they were shot down, and now, there are no carrier pigeons to transmit messages. When the young general of the Imperial Forest Army heard Queen Mu's dispatch, he hurriedly explained to Queen Mu.

"This is the will of God, that's it, let everything be according to the will of God. A few of you, help me to the ancestral hall, and the rest of you will disperse. Hearing the words of the young general of the Royal Forest Army, he let out a long sigh, and then said to several palace maids, and walked towards the ancestral hall of the harem.

On the other side, the 100,000 troops rushing to Kyoto had already headed for the imperial city, and on the way there, seeing a large number of refugees on the way, Liu Jinjun saw this, so he asked a few refugees around him: "Where did you come from? What happened? How can there be so many refugees?"

Seeing Liu Jinjun on the horse, the homeless people who were hurrying on the side were so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "Master Guan, spare your life, the villain is a homeless." Seeing the old man in front of him like this, Liu Jinjun jumped off the horse, walked towards the homeless man in front of him, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then said: "What happened? Why do you want to flee?" The homeless person carefully looked at the general in front of him, and saw that although he was burly and tall, he was humble and kind, so he was no longer so timid, sighed, and told Liu Jinjun in front of him.

"Now that there is war in the capital, we don't want to leave, but there is no way. Li An rebelled, and led his troops to attack the city, we don't want to stay until the city gate is broken and killed by the rebels, so we drag our families out to take refuge, you have a lot of places?" the old man said with a sad face, then walked a few steps forward, and then stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, only to see that the mountains were full of fleeing homeless people.

"What? Li An has rebelled, and he is still attacking the city?!" Hearing the old man's words, Liu Jinjun didn't feel panicked, and asked the old man in front of him a few more times.

"Yes, Li An rebelled, and now, it is estimated that the city gate has been broken, because there are not many Imperial Forest troops in the city. The old man said a few words to Liu Jinjun, then bowed his head and led his little granddaughter and left.

At this time, Liu Jinjun hurriedly got on his horse, then came to the front of the team, and shouted at the team: "Cavalry troops, follow me to Kyoto first! The rest of the men and horses, hurry quickly, and be sure to reach the capital before dark!"

"Dare to ask the general, what happened?" Seeing that the deputy marshal was so anxious, the general on the side asked him puzzled.

"Just now I asked a homeless man what happened? He said that Li An had rebelled in the capital and was leading his army to storm the imperial city, and our cavalry was running fast, so we would go to support it first. Liu Jinjun said to him, and then Pegasus stepped out, and the 10,000 cavalry behind saw this, and also followed closely behind, stepping towards Kyoto Pegasus.

After half an hour of Pegasus hurrying, now that the army had driven to a small hill, Liu Jinjun, who was still flying, suddenly signaled everyone to stop behind him. I saw Liu Jinjun observe the terrain, and saw a flock of birds chirping in the distance, and then said to the general beside him: "This valley is tall on both sides, narrow in the middle, and it is very easy to bury ambush soldiers, but the battle ahead is tight, we must not delay, you go and order the soldiers to cross the valley quickly, if there are ambushes, do not fall in love with the battle, the battle ahead is important." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it. The general received the order and rode towards Liu Jinjun. At this time, Liu Jinjun slowly closed his eyes, and then rode away, speeding towards the valley. Seeing this, the subordinates in the back also rushed to Pegasus.

Just when Liu Jinjun just stepped into the valley and walked halfway, suddenly there was a shouting sound on the valley, at this time Liu Jinjun knew that he had just expected it to be good, there was really an ambush here, but the situation in the imperial city was very critical, at this time Liu Jinjun didn't care so much, or stepped over, at this moment, the ambush army on the top of the mountain threw a rolling stone to the path under the valley, and many people in the valley were flying horses, completely ignoring both sides, and there were heavy casualties for a while.

"Deputy marshal, there is an ambush! Let's retreat!" The general on the side saw that many soldiers behind him were lying in a pool of blood, so he said to Liu Jinjun.

"This is a deliberate ambush by the enemy in order to stop us from moving forward, and the more they block, the more urgent it is that we need to support the Imperial City. Quick, order the brothers, at all costs, rush out of the valley!" said Liu Jinjun and continued to ride his horse and whip towards the valley mouth.

After receiving the order, the soldiers behind him rode their horses one by one, and the rolling stones on the valley rained down the mountain. There were many dead and wounded along the way, while the cavalry behind walked on the corpses in front, and finally after more than an hour, everyone passed through the valley.

"How many people died?" asked Liu Jinjun as he turned to the general, who had been wounded in the arm.

"More than 2,000 people died, more than 1,000 wounded. Seeing the general with a sad look on his face, he lowered his head and said with a long sigh.

"The wounded stay, and the rest follow me!" Liu Jinjun looked at the soldier in front of him, and then shouted loudly.

"General, if you are wounded, don't go. When the general saw Liu Jinjun leaving, he jumped on his horse and was about to leave, but was stopped by the soldiers next to him.

"I am a general, and I can fight with my own soldiers, and I can live here alone?" the general unstruck the soldier's hand on the saddle, and then stepped away.

The soldiers behind him got on their horses one by one, only to see a man shouting: "Brothers, our general is still like this, and we are not a bad breed, kill me!"

When everyone heard this man's words, they drew their blades and followed in the direction of the general and Liu Jinjun.
