Xi Ruoxuan also felt something was wrong: "Yes! There seem to be a lot of people!"
Su Shaokai immediately became alert: "Xuanxuan, is someone going up the mountain?"
Su Shaokai immediately pulled Xi Ruoxuan back: "No, I have to inform my elder brother. It will be troublesome if officers and soldiers come up."
Xi Ruoxuan also hurriedly ran back with Su Shaokai, and they ran directly into Yang Xibiao's dormitory. Yang Xibiao had already begun to take off his clothes and go to bed. When he saw the two of them barging in, he thought they were married: "Haha, you finally agreed to get married?"
Su Shaokai quickly said: "Brother, go and take a look. There are many torches moving up the mountain. Could it be that the army is coming to encircle and suppress them?"
Yang Xibiao was stunned: "No! Since the defeat of the previous two encirclement and suppression campaigns by the army, they have never dared to invade my Phoenix Mountain. Now I am so sure that I have even removed half of the sentry posts. Dear brother, you can't read that wrong!" "
Before he finished speaking, a sentry hurried in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a large group of people from the bottom of the mountain are coming up the mountain. They are probably officers and soldiers. Your Majesty, please make an idea quickly!"
Yang Xibiao stood up at once: "Well done! I haven't killed an army for a long time, and I'm going to do it again tonight! Come on! Assemble the team and get my sword!"
Yang Xibiao ordered the torches to be lit, and the village suddenly lit up. Yang Xibiao looked at the groups of people and horses moving up the mountain with a look of disdain on his face.
Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan were also ready to fight. The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain saw the lanterns and torches on the mountain shining like daylight, and knew that the other side was prepared, but they were not afraid at all. They continued to urge their troops to kill towards the mountain.
The two armies finally came into contact, and the robbers on the mountain and the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain strangled together. Yang Xibiao thought that it would take less than half an hour to beat the shit out of these officers and soldiers. Yang Xibiao knew the fighting power of the Cangzhou government officials very well, and those officials could not bring themselves to the table. The ones who can compete with him are the green battalion officers and soldiers stationed in Cangzhou. However, Yang Xibiao was very confident. How about Green Camp? I was beaten to a pulp last time. However, an unexpected situation still happened. It had been an hour, and the officers and soldiers still showed no sign of retreat. Yang Xibiao was anxious. It seemed that I was going to fight in person. He stood up and swung his sword to kill from the mountain.
This Yang Xibiao was really brave. The sword in his hand was like an iron door. He would die if he encountered it. Soon he was halfway up the mountain.
At this time, a general stopped him. The general rushed over with a spear in his hand and waving it. Yang Xibiao didn't say anything and immediately fought with him. They fought for more than ten rounds. The general seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and slowly retreated. Yang Xibiao raised his sword and said, "Brothers, they can't stand it anymore, kill them!"
The robbers on the mountain seemed to have taken stimulants, shouting all the way and fleeing down the mountain. Yang Xibiao was even more powerful, and the sword in his hand seemed to be magical. He saw several officers and soldiers in front of him hurriedly protecting a young man and fleeing down the mountain. Yang Xibiao killed the scattered officers and soldiers and captured the young man.
The officers and soldiers were horrified and fought back one after another. Yang Xibiao took the young man and ran up the mountain. The officers and soldiers immediately came to cover him up. However, these robbers were not easy to mess with. They shot these officers and soldiers with bows and arrows. Poor these officers and soldiers, many died under the bows and arrows.
The fighting lasted for two full hours, and it was almost dawn when the fighting was finally over. Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan did not participate in the battle because Yang Xibiao ordered his men to keep an eye on these two people, saying that they were distinguished guests and could not participate in the battle. Yang Xibiao counted the number of people, and found that more than fifty brothers were killed in this fighting, but compared to the number of casualties among the officers and soldiers, it was much less.
Yang Xibiao Hutou Gang sat down in Weiwutang, with Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan sitting next to him. Yang Xibiao slapped the table: "Bring that young man to me!"
Several minions pushed a young man to the big tent. When Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan saw this, they were stunned with surprise.
"Your Majesty! Why are you here?" Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan shouted at the same time.
Was it Zhong Langyu who was captured? It's true that what Yang Xibiao captured was really Prince Yin Zhong Langyu. Wasn't Zhong Langyu imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? Why would he lead troops to Cangzhou
Zhong Langyu lost the city defense map. Emperor Zhong Yehan was furious and immediately put Zhong Langyu in prison. Not only did Zhong Langyu's wedding fail, he himself was imprisoned. Fortunately, because of his special status, the emperor made the decision in anger. Soon, Zhong Langyu was called to him again by Zhong Yehan: "You, you, you disappoint me so much. I thought you were the most accomplished of my four sons, but now it seems that you are also a fool. . You can also lose something as important as the city defense map. After the loss, you still dare to hide it and not report it. You are really becoming more and more courageous."
"Father, please calm down. I realize my mistake!" Zhong Langyu had no other choice but to admit his mistake at this time.
"Well, for the sake of the third child in Luo City, I will spare you one more time. However, in order to let you remember, I will remove your title of Prince, demote you to County Prince, and go back to your home to think about the past behind closed doors!"
"Thank you, father, thank you, father!" Zhong Langyu tremblingly bowed to Zhong Yehan, and then exited the palace. When he returned to the palace, he was stunned. Xi Ruoxuan was gone, which was really hard for Zhong Langyu to accept. He asked Cuiyun if Xi Ruoxuan had gone somewhere to play. Cuiyun said: "The empress walked out of the palace with a large bag of things, and then never came back."
Zhong Langyu suddenly thought of Su Shaokai: "What about Mr. Su?"
"He's gone too. Since the empress left, he has never come to the palace again."
Zhong Langyu suddenly understood that he must have broken Xi Ruoxuan's heart by marrying Ximen Lingqian. Why was I so stupid? Why didn't I see that she would be sad! What to do now, Xiuxuan must have followed Su Shaokai and ran away. Where will they go
Zhong Langyu made some calculations and felt that they were most likely to go to the grassland. Because he heard Su Shaokai talk about going to the grassland more than once, but he didn't take it seriously. It's really bad this time. If they return to the grassland, then I will completely lose Xi Ruoxuan. However, what can be done? With her legs standing on someone else's body, she wants to leave, and there is really nothing she can do. It's just that he lost unjustly. If he hadn't lost his mind and married some concubine, Ruixuan would definitely not have run away with that Su Shaokai. no! I have to chase Xiaoxuan back.
But getting back is not easy. Not to mention the huge crowds, the emperor has the final say whether I can get out of the capital. Now that I am in the stage of shutting myself up and thinking about my past, my father will definitely not let me wander around.
There is no end to the road, but Zhong Yehan has received petitions jointly signed by Cangzhou businessmen one after another, accusing Duan Wenliang, the prefect of Cangzhou, of corruption and perverting the law, regardless of the life and death of the people, which has led to rampant robberies in Cangzhou and the suffering of the people. Zhong Yehan had long been dissatisfied with Duan Wenliang, the prefect of Cangzhou. He immediately issued an order to remove Duan Wenliang from his official post as prefect of Cangzhou and let the Ministry of Personnel choose an official to go to Cangzhou. However, Zhong Yehan was not satisfied with several of the selections made by the Minister of Civil Affairs. He finally thought of Zhong Langyu. Although this kid is confused, he still has a way of dealing with chaos. Just like that Hu Feiying and the siege of Yuliguo, he dealt with them in an orderly manner. Let him go to Cangzhou to exercise!
Zhong Yehan immediately issued an order, asking Zhong Langyu to take the title of county king and go to Cangzhou to take charge of Cangzhou affairs. He must clear out the banditry in Cangzhou!
Zhong Langyu was overjoyed. He could finally leave the capital, and Cangzhou was still the only way from the capital to the grassland. I'd better set off as soon as possible! The day after receiving the imperial edict, Zhong Langyu set out with his guard Qiu Xin.
Qiu Xin was still wondering why we were in such a hurry. Zhong Langyu expressed his thoughts. Qiu Xin understood very well and immediately followed Zhong Langyu straight to Cangzhou. When he arrived in Cangzhou, Zhong Langyu was dumbfounded because he asked many people but could not find out the whereabouts of Xi Ruoxuan and Su Shaokai. Finally, they accidentally asked the owner of the cloth shop. The boss of Buzhuang told Quan Langyu that there were indeed two men and a woman from other places. The man had strong martial arts and helped him block the robbers. Kuang Langyu was overjoyed and asked about their whereabouts. Seeing that Kuang Langyu was sent by the imperial court, the owner of Buzhuang did not dare to say that Su Shaokai knew the robbers. In panic, he even said that Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan had been robbed by the robbers.
Kuang Langyu was shocked and immediately called the officials from Cangzhou Prefecture to ask them to tell them where the robbers' lair was.
At first, the government officials refused to say anything because it would be in vain. The robbers there were so powerful that we couldn't do anything to them. But they couldn't stand Kuang Langyu's constant questioning, so they had to say that there was a powerful group of robbers on Fenghuang Mountain who often went to Cangzhou City to plunder. The officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them twice but returned without success.
Quan Langyu immediately mobilized Cangzhou's green battalion officers and soldiers to launch a sneak attack on Phoenix Mountain overnight. Who would have thought that stealing chickens would end up being sheer rice, and in the end even he would be captured.
Needless to say, when Kuang Langyu saw Su Shaokai and Xi Ruoxuan in the big tent, there were expressions of surprise. Weren't they kidnapped by the robbers? Why are they still sitting on the big tent openly? I'm dazzled.
Xi Ruoxuan was no less surprised than Kuang Langyu. Why did the dead prince come here? Did he come to find me? Didn't he marry a concubine? He should be newly married in the palace. How could he come to Cangzhou to suppress bandits? This is incredible.
Yang Xibiao slapped the table: "You stupid official, why did you want to sneak attack on my Phoenix Mountain?"
Kuang Langyu snorted: "You bandits are harming the people and bringing disaster to one side. The imperial court should have sent troops to suppress you a long time ago. Unfortunately, you fell into your hands today. You can kill or scrape as you please!"
Yang Xibiao was furious: "What a good boy, how dare you talk to me like this, give me a slap in the face first!"
Following Yang Xibiao's order, several minions immediately came over and held down Kuang Langyu.
