The entrance of the cave was already crowded with people. When they saw Zheng Rong, King of Youyan, coming out, they all bowed their heads and worshiped.
Zheng Rong was already jolted in the cave so much that his muscles and bones ached, but when he raised his eyes and saw that the people who were kowtowing to him were all acquaintances of Youyan Dao, he felt happy and reluctantly cheered up, saying: "Everyone, please get up and come out to save me. It’s really hard for you all.” After saying that, he stood up and bowed his hands, but his feet couldn’t bear the strength and he staggered and sat down again.
Qiu Yizhi felt sour in his heart after seeing this, and said hurriedly: "Father, don't be too tired. Things haven't been successful yet, so I ask my foster father to recharge his batteries to complete the big thing..."
While he was talking, Zhao Chengxiao said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the pursuers seem to be climbing up from the cave!"
After Qiu Yizhi heard this, he was also panicked. He saw several imperial soldiers groping in the cave, trying to climb out, but they could not succeed because they were not familiar with the terrain and had no one to help them.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly ordered: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you fill the hole for me quickly!"
After hearing the order, everyone woke up and filled the holes with the soil piled in the courtyard again with shovels. The smarter man removed a door panel, called a few people, and started pushing soil into the hole while lying on his back. The speed of filling the hole is naturally much faster than the speed of digging the hole. In just the blink of an eye, the hole was filled evenly.
Only then did Qiu Yizhi feel a little relieved. He leaned over and told Zheng Rong his next plan, and then asked, "Father, is this the best way for Yizhi to deal with it?"
Zheng Rong still had the energy to think carefully. After listening to Qiu Yizhi's words, he just sighed and said: "My son has finally come in handy. My life is in your hands. Go ahead and do things boldly!" Then he gasped for air.
After hearing this, Qiu Yizhi nodded very solemnly, stood up and ordered everyone: "Brother Yuchi, Brother Zhao, you first place the prince on the carriage, then lead the brothers to protect the prince, and then march towards Jianchun Gate. Wan remembers to go south first after leaving the house to avoid the imperial troops!" He then turned sideways and said, "Princess Princess, Yelu, and the two brothers from Bohai, please take me to the Siyi Pavilion first and take them out. My horse, meet the prince again!"
At this time, Wen Lingjiao, who was standing by Tingting, saw that Zheng Rong was weak, so she took a pot of herbal tea and a few cakes from He'er who was standing behind him, squatted on the ground and fed them to Zheng Rong herself. With some food in his belly, Zheng Rong regained his energy. Seeing that the girl in front of him looked unfamiliar, he asked, "Is this girl my adopted son befriended in the capital?"
Before Wen Lingjiao could answer, Yiran stepped forward and said, "The prince is wrong. This is Miss Wen, the saint of the Tianzun Sect, and she is Qiu Yizhi's old friend!"
After Zheng Rong heard this, his hands trembled, but he only said: "Okay! Okay!"
Qiu Yizhi listened and thought about how long ago it had been, but Yiran was still here talking about weird rumors. But he was afraid that if he scolded him, Yiran's petty nature would be aroused, which would inevitably lead to serious problems. So he had to pretend not to hear, but said loudly to Zhao Chengxiao: "Quick, quick, without further ado, help the prince into the car!"
Then he turned around and looked for Shi Dajian, thanked him a few times and said: "I am about to leave the capital in a short time. I will escape death on this trip. Master Shi has special skills and has not exposed his identity. There is no need to follow me. You can hide in Luoyang. You My fate is not over yet, so please thank me again for meeting me by chance!" After that, without waiting for Shi Dajian's consent, he mounted his horse and galloped towards Siyi Pavilion together with several people from Bohai.
The Siyi Pavilion was originally far away, but Qiu Yizhi and others were riding horses from the Bohai Sea, so they arrived at the entrance of the Siyi Pavilion in just a short time.
I saw Yelu sitting on the horse, making a horn shape with his hand near his mouth, and shouted several times in Bohai language to the hall. Someone listened and replied in Bohai dialect, and then heard the faint sound of commotion coming from the Siyi Pavilion.
The two soldiers guarding outside the Seiyi Pavilion were almost asleep, but they were awakened by the commotion and shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the Siyi Pavilion was suddenly pushed open with a "bang" from the inside. Two knights, one on the left and one on the right, rushed out of the door at the same time. The sword in their hands touched the necks of the two shouting soldiers, and the two knights were stunned. The head instantly rolled down.
The two knights did not even look at the headless ghost lying on the ground. They rode up to them and chatted with Yiran and Yelu in Bohai dialect. Then they turned around and shouted a few words into the hall.
As soon as the shouts fell, more than a dozen Bohai knights and dozens of good horses were seen filing out of the Siyi Pavilion.
Among them, a green horse trotted up to Qiu Yizhi, looking up to the sky and neighing at its owner - it was the bloody horse that Qiu Yizhi had left to Yelu to take care of that day. When Qiu Yizhi saw that the BMW had become fat and strong in just a few days, and had regained its vitality, she felt even more happy. She immediately moved to sit on it and ordered: "Everyone, follow me to meet my adoptive father." !" After saying that, he raised the reins of the horse and "Po La La" galloped forward.
When everyone saw this, they followed suit without any hesitation.
Qiu Yizhi had become very familiar with the roads of Luoyang, the capital city, in the past month, and he caught up with Zheng Rong and his entourage not long after riding.
When Zhao Chengxiao saw Qiu Yizhi coming to meet him as promised, he felt happy and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Yi really has a clever plan. All the soldiers in the city rushed to dig holes in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. I didn't meet many people along the way. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court who were unlucky enough to encounter us were all killed by Hero Yuchi!"
After hearing this, Qiu Yizhi nodded and said: "Now is not the time to be happy. I have brought dozens of horses from the Siyi Pavilion. You must mount your horses quickly and follow me to rescue Master Zhongli!" After that, he drove again. Ma walked to the carriage that Zheng Rong was riding in, lifted the curtain, and saw that Zheng Rong had fallen into a deep sleep, while Wen Lingjiao and He'er were sitting beside him to take care of him.
Only then did Qiu Yizhi feel relieved again. He pointed his riding whip forward and said, "Come on! Follow me!"
Everyone gained horse power and moved faster. Along the Imperial City Avenue, it didn't take much effort to see the military camp under Jianchun Gate in the distance. However, they saw hundreds of officers and soldiers gathered at the entrance of the military camp, holding open fires and carrying bows and arrows outside, as if they were setting up defensive positions.
Although Qiu Yizhi is young, he is also a man who has experienced many battles. Seeing this formation, he has guessed that the news of King Youyan's escape has spread here. The commander of the military camp is organizing people to prepare to prevent Zheng Rong and the soldiers he brought. Horses merge.
Qiu Yi calculated silently in his mind: The Bohai mission consisted of twenty-two people, including Yiran and Yelu, and Zhao Chengxiao and his brothers had a total of twenty-seven people. Plus himself and Yuchi Lianghong, they could go into battle to kill the enemy now. There are only these fifty-one people - however, these people are either the elites of the Northern Kingdom who dominate the grassland, or they are desperadoes who regard death as life, and there is even a martial arts master who is the best in the world - in terms of combat power, I am afraid they are Unparalleled in the sea; when it comes to morale, it is the time when we share the same enemy; when it comes to command, not to mention the resourceful people like Qiu Yizhi, and the Youyan King Zheng Rong, who can be said to be the number one general of the Han Dynasty, holding the battle.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi became a hundred times more confident. He called a few leaders over and said, "Zhao Chengxiao assigned ten people from among his brothers to the command of Princess Yiran to protect my adoptive father's safety. Zhao Chengxiao and Yelu will lead the remaining troops into the army's formation together with me. We must fight quickly. As for Brother Yuchi, you can do whatever you want to help me!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Yiran said: "Why do you all go to charge into the battle, but you want me to stay here?"
Qiu Yizhi glanced at her and said: "You are the princess of Bohai Kingdom. Even if you are captured, the court will not make things difficult for you. If we all die, you have to leave the city immediately to report the news to Youyan Road. Do you understand? ?”
Without waiting for Yiran's consent, he pulled out the sword hanging at his side and shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!" Then he squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and charged forward to kill. At this moment, Qiu Yizhi had become the de facto commander. Seeing that he was leading the charge regardless of safety, the people behind him all urged their horses to rush out, and in the blink of an eye they had entered the official formation.
The officers and soldiers received the news in a hurry, and before they had time to deploy, they were hit by this thunderous blow. In an instant, they were in chaos. They had to rely on the strength of their numbers to fight with the enemy first.
Qiu Yizhi sat on his horse and slashed with his sword from left to right. Seeing that his own horse's combat power was obviously higher than that of his opponent, and the battle situation was developing in his favor, but he could not win easily in a hurry, he hurriedly ordered: "Brother Yuchi, you are dedicated to Find officers to snipe and disrupt the command of the officers and soldiers!”
After hearing this, Yuchi Lianghong let out a long roar, jumped up from his horse, waved his sharp sword, and targeted the man in an officer's uniform to assassinate him. He was seen flying up and down in green clothes, and in the blink of an eye he was gone. Killed five or six officers.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi sat on his horse and shouted loudly: "You and I are both big men and have no grievances. I am only here to save You Yandao's brothers. You and I must retreat quickly. If you still dare, With a mantis' arm as a chariot, that man is an example!" As he said this, he pointed with his knife and drove away an officer who was holding a command flag and was about ten paces away.
Yuchi Lianghong, who was just getting ready to kill, understood what he was thinking and picked up the two official knives scattered on the ground. He then raised them high and threw them at the officer with all his strength. The officer was caught off guard, screamed, and was stabbed twice in the chest. These two swords were extremely powerful. The force that hit the officer's body was still there, and he was pinned to the ground.
When the officers and soldiers saw this scene, their hearts were shattered and they lost control. They all ran away with a "coax".
Seeing that Qiu Yi finally won the battle, Qiu Yi did not celebrate, and quickly ordered someone to open the gate of the military camp - inside this gate, more than 300 soldiers from Youyan were imprisoned.
When he opened the door, he saw that all three hundred people had gathered at the door. It turned out that the people in the camp heard the shouting of killing outside, so under the command of Zhongli Kuang and Zhang Long, they killed all the soldiers guarding them in the camp and were about to break out of the door from the inside out.
Qiu Yizhi saw that all of them were in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and thin skin, but he didn't have time to say a word of comfort, so he shouted: "Is Mr. Zhongli here?"
After hearing this, Zhongli Kuang quickly agreed, stumbled to Qiu Yi's horse, and asked, "Where is the prince? Has the prince been rescued?"
At this moment, Qiu Yizhi didn't care about the master-disciple etiquette. She sat on the horse, pointed behind her, and replied: "My foster father is on the carriage. Master, please get on the carriage and have a detailed chat with my foster father." The crowd shouted, "Where is Zhang Long?"
Zhang Long heard this and quickly agreed: "The general will be here!"
Qiu Yi said: "We will protect the prince immediately and leave the city through Jianchun Gate. You can pick up weapons and search for horses and follow immediately. Don't wait until it is too late!"
After saying that, Qiu Yi turned his horse's head and led the people to gather around the carriage Zheng Rong was riding. He took a brief inventory of the people and horses, and realized that in this short period of less than a cup of tea, they had already been damaged. Two Bohai knights and three Yunmeng thieves, and about ten others were slightly injured.
But Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to mourn. He simply discussed a few words with Zheng Rong and Zhongli Kuang, and then led everyone to rush towards Jianchun Gate. (To be continued)
