A group of personal guards also came forward with weapons in hand, protecting the couple, looking ready to fight without any fear.
Seeing that they were going to resist the order, the people rushing out from the opposite side couldn't help but look back hesitantly to see if Shang Yongzhong and others meant to take action forcefully.
There was a sneer and sarcasm on Shang Yongzhong's face, as if he was mocking these people for trying to overestimate their own capabilities. Is there any point in resisting at this time
Shang Chaozong looked back at the reaction of Huang Lie and other people in Dachan Mountain. His expression was neither sad nor happy, and then he shouted in a deep voice: "Back off!"
Huang Lie's eyes met Shang Chaozong's, and he couldn't help but avoid it with a guilty conscience. He felt really ashamed in his heart. He did have a heroic spirit in his heart, but he couldn't act on his own initiative, and he couldn't let Dachanshan know that the opponent had more people and a huge disparity in strength. people die.
"Your Majesty!" Feng Ruonan and a group of guards turned around and exclaimed. If they retreated, wouldn't they want the Prince to be captured without mercy
Shang Yongzhong originally wanted to order a forcible arrest, but after hearing Shang Chaozong's words, he swallowed the words and waited.
The higher-ups wanted to catch people alive, and he didn't want anything to happen to Shang Chaozong and cause any accidents.
Shang Chaozong and Feng Ruonan's eyes met. Their eyes were indescribably complicated. He slowly stretched out his hand to grab Feng Ruonan's wrist and pressed down the sword in his hand. "Ruonan, these years... I'm sorry for you!"
These words instantly made Feng Ruonan's eyes turn red. She shook her head with difficulty and said, "It's meaningless to say this now. The imperial court has evil intentions. We must not retreat!"
Shang Chaozong pressed her wrist tightly to prevent her from raising the sword in her hand. He leaned close to her ear and whispered: "I will be fine. When you turn around, you leave here immediately. Don't worry about me. Go and meet Meng Shuai. Understood." ?"
Now that things have happened, he now has some sense of things that he didn't understand before.
At first, Niu Youdao's inexplicable withdrawal order puzzled him and he couldn't figure out why. Now, the imperial court suddenly sent someone to pick him up. With a little thought, he could realize that Niu Youdao's withdrawal order was eight out of ten. Jiuhe is related to the situation in front of him. Master Dao must have noticed something beforehand, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why it was such a coincidence.
But there was one thing he still didn't understand. If he really noticed something, why didn't he let him avoid danger instead of letting him go into danger almost alone
He couldn't figure it out, but he gradually got used to Niu Youdao's consistent style of doing things, a style where he didn't easily see the truth until the end.
Although he also thought about the bad side, at this moment, he had no choice.
"No!" Feng Ruonan was excited.
"Everyone listen to the order and stand down!" Shang Chaozong ignored him and gave the order directly in front of everyone.
A group of guards looked at each other, hesitating, and finally had to retreat slowly due to military orders.
Shang Chaozong said loudly to the other side again: "Uncle Wang, this matter has nothing to do with them. Just let them go and I will go with you."
Shang Yongzhong had a bit of amusement on his face. He had been staring at the mumbling couple just now, and he didn't know what they were mumbling. At this moment, just to be on the safe side, he sneered, "Get them all. Except for the Shang Dynasty clan, anyone else who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" A group of people were about to rush forward.
Shang Chaozong was also furious when a figure jumped into the air and landed in front of them. He pushed his hands to stop the people who were coming, "Wait a minute!"
A group of people who had just moved stopped and looked back.
Shang Yongzhong saw that the other party was a monk and frowned: "Who are you?"
Ga Miaoshui, who was standing next to him, reminded him, "Niu Youdao's confidant, Gongsun Bu, the head of Wuliang Mountain."
Gongsun preached: "The imperial edict did not say to take the princess."
Shang Yongzhong: "It's not your turn to give guidance on the imperial decree. It's none of your business, so get out of the way!"
Gongsun Bu was not afraid and said calmly: "The reason why the princess will accompany the army during this anti-rebellion campaign is because Master Dao personally ordered it. Before I left, Master Dao did not explain other matters, but Master Dao personally explained it to the princess. , let me protect the princess. Since the imperial edict did not say that the princess should be taken away, if I let you take the princess away for no reason, I cannot explain to the Taoist master, so I must take the princess away. "
He didn't suddenly take risks on a whim, but Niu Youdao had secretly ordered him to do so, and he had to step forward.
Niu Youdao did not ask Gongsun Bu, Feng Ruonan and Huang Lie to evacuate beforehand, and he took great pains. It would be too obvious if all the relevant personnel were evacuated.
After saying that, he turned around and said to Feng Ruonan: "Princess, come with me."
Shang Chaozong immediately took off Feng Ruonan's sword and pushed her, "Quickly leave!"
"Your Majesty!" Feng Ruonan was anxious and anxious, how could he leave her husband and run away alone at this time.
The situation was critical. Gongsun Bu couldn't care less about the difference between men and women at this time. He grabbed Feng Ruonan's arm and tried to drag him away. He was a monk after all, and Feng Ruonan couldn't compete with him.
Shang Yongzhong was angry. Without his consent, he dared to take people away in front of him. What did he think of him? He shouted: "Bold! No one is allowed to leave, I will take them all!"
Uh-huh! Gongsun Bu threw Feng Ruonan behind him with one hand, drew his sword with the other, looked around, and warned sternly: "Who from the Thatched Cottage dares to act rashly?"
Shen Yuhong sneered, "People from Thatched Cottage? When did the people from Thatched Cottage act wild before us?"
Gongsun Bu said coldly: "I would like to remind you that anyone who dares to act rashly today will not give the Tao Master face and anger the Tao Master. Don't blame the Tao Master for not giving him the same face when he is angry!" If you take the Yan Kingdom’s imperial court and bullshit imperial edicts seriously and cause trouble that will never end, don’t blame me for not advising you!”
This is a blatant threat!
If it had been him earlier, he would definitely not have had the confidence to say such a thing, but after all, he was different after following Niu Youdao. It was not that Maolu Villa had never seen big names, and Maolu Villa had seen many elders of Shen Yuhong's level. Well, Shen Yuhong couldn't scare him.
The most important thing is that there is Piaomiao Pavilion hidden behind him, which is why Niu Youdao asked him to protect Feng Ruonan at critical moments, knowing that he has the confidence to dare to be tough.
Some crimes are easier for men than for women. If they fall into the hands of a group of men and undergo interrogation, it is easy to damage their innocence. Therefore, Niu Youdao asked Gongsun Bu to take risks at the critical moment to save Feng Ruonan.
"Stop! Back off!"
A group of people had already rushed up to grab Shang Chaozong. The guards of Shang Chaozong were angry and wanted to fight, but they were stopped by Shang Chaozong. Shang Chaozong knew that his men would die in vain if they resisted. It would not change anything and it would have no meaning.
In full public view, Shang Chaozong was forcibly tied up.
"Your Majesty!" Feng Ruonan shouted in grief and anger.
Gongsun Bu just looked back at the captured Shang Chaozong, then dragged her away by force, directly in front of Huang Lie and others, and said in a deep voice: "Master Huang, if you have a bird mount, send the princess immediately to meet her. Meng Shuai meets up."
Huang Lie felt very guilty today. He didn't have the confidence to face Gongsun Bu. A mere leader of Wuliang Mountain had the courage to rescue Feng Ruonan from the tiger's mouth. On the other hand, he looked a bit cowardly at Dachan Mountain.
He nodded repeatedly in a somewhat submissive manner, waving his hands to signal the people below to escort Feng Ruonan away quickly. Several masters from Dazen Mountain immediately protected Feng Ruonan and evacuated.
After a while, a large bird carried the crying Feng Ruonan and left quickly.
Before leaving, Gongsun Bu looked back at the captured Shang Chaozong again, and felt quite helpless. It was not easy to save Feng Ruonan with Dao Master's intimidating power. It would be difficult to take away Shang Chaozong from the opponent with this. Possibly, the other party was able to let the princess go because the princess was not very important, but things were different for Shang Chaozong.
Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Bu, Da Chanshan and others quickly flew away, flew out from the encircling army, and flew away quickly.
The army didn't get the order to stop them, so they could only watch as a group of people walked away.
Watching the group of people leave arrogantly, Shang Yongzhong tensed his cheeks and almost broke his teeth, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face.
At this time, Ga Miaoshui let go of Shang Yongzhong's arm. He was the one who stopped Shang Yongzhong from giving the order just now. Gongsun Bu had already made it clear on the spot. Any more forceful deduction would be a slap in Niu Youdao's face. Niu Youdao That guy is not a good person. He even dares to withhold military rations from the imperial court. Do you think he doesn't dare to do anything more extreme
"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand cavalry, four hundred thousand rebels, and four hundred thousand troops in Nanzhou are all in Niu Youdao's hands. The situation can get out of control in an instant. We caught Prince Yongping in a surprise attack, which has already embarrassed him. Alright!" After letting go, Ga Miaoshui reminded Shang Yongzhong again.
Why didn't Shang Yongzhong know this? Otherwise, how could he endure it.
Shen Yuhong also felt like he had been slapped in the face. Faced with Gongsun Bu's threat, he did not dare to act rashly and just watched helplessly as he was taken away. After all, he had to rely on Niu to settle Nanzhou's affairs afterwards. There is a way.
A group of Shang Chaozong's personal guards were also disarmed by the people who rushed up and were taken away.
Several large birds swooped down in the distance and landed.
The tied-up Shang Chaozong was taken away. It was obvious that he wanted to use a large bird to send him to the capital immediately. If it was delayed for a long time, he was afraid of an accident.
Being upset by what just happened and losing face, Shang Yongzhong and others no longer had the time to appreciate the results of the battle in front of them, and all of them had expressionless faces.
Shang Chaozong who was passing by struggled for a moment and stopped.
Seeing the push, Shang Yongzhong raised his hand to stop the soldier's push, and said calmly: "Chaozong, do you have something to say?"
Shang Chaozong: "I really have nothing to say to a person like you who is a vegetarian." He glanced at Su Qitong and An Xianzhao.
The two of them watched Prince Ning's son being arrested in front of them, and they were indeed a little ashamed. Even some of the generals behind them were all former members of Prince Ning, and they lowered their heads sadly at this time, shameless to face him.
"My father has worked hard for Jingping Dayan all his life. I will not regret my death, but my father will treat you well. I only ask that you will take note of your father's hard work during his lifetime and work together to put down the rebellion as soon as possible." Shang Chaozong looked at the two men. People plead.
Su Qitong and An Xianzhao slowly handed over their hands to see them off, both of them tightening their lips and saying nothing. The generals behind them also handed over their hands one after another, and some of them had red eyes.
Shang Yongzhong suddenly looked back. When he saw the generals silently sending each other off, his face darkened. He waved and shouted, "Take them away!"
Shang Chaozong was taken away, and was soon sent away by several large birds that flew into the air, heading straight for the capital.
