Late at night, Yan Liqiang suddenly woke up from a deep sleep!
Because he was sleeping on the ground with only a blanket underneath him, one of Yan Liqiang's ears was almost completely touching the ground. Both his body and ear were more sensitive to the movements coming from the ground, so he woke up even more startled!
Just now, Yan Liqiang felt a huge vibration coming from the ground. That vibration was the kind that would be felt when a large number of horses and people were running on the ground. This vibration, like ripples in the water, was transmitted from the ground in a way that was imperceptible to ordinary people. If it was an ordinary person or even an ordinary master, it would certainly be difficult to detect it, but for Yan Liqiang, the feeling was too obvious!
Yan Liqiang suddenly stood up, dressed quickly within ten seconds, equipped his sword, picked up the meteorite spear, and walked out of the tent!
"Sir!" Outside Yan Liqiang's tent, there were two soldiers from Luyuan standing guard for Yan Liqiang!
There was silence on the mound. Three bright moons hung high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. The clear light spread all over the earth. Without torches, one could see very far. In the distance, there were shadows of mountains, and nearby, there were waves of pine trees. In terms of scenery, tonight was extremely beautiful, even full of poetry. However, when Yan Liqiang looked into the distance, he could feel that in the cool night breeze with the sweet scent of wild peach blossoms, there was a crazy and restless murderous aura surging silently - this murderous aura made Yan Liqiang frown more and more!
"Sound the alarm immediately and everyone prepare to evacuate immediately!" Yan Liqiang acted decisively and gave the order immediately!
The two soldiers were stunned, but did not dare to ask more questions. Instead, they ran away immediately. A few seconds later, the rapid and dull sound of "bang bang bang bang..." knocking on the shafts of the four-wheeled carriage spread across the mound, waking up all the people who were still sleeping on the mound!
A figure flashed in the air, and Elder Liu, holding a long sword in his hand, was the first to appear beside Yan Liqiang. He looked around with a vigilant look on his face, "What happened? Is there an enemy invasion?"
Yan Liqiang looked in the direction of Wuting County in the distance and said in a deep voice, "Something happened in Wuting County!"
"Something happened in Wuting County?" Elder Liu was somewhat stunned. He looked back in the direction of Wuting County in the distance. It was pitch black and he could not see any movement. He frowned and said doubtfully, "This... doesn't seem to be a problem!"
"Sir, what happened?" As soon as Elder Liu finished speaking, Liu Xi and other officers in the Deer Garden quickly rushed to Yan Liqiang. They were resting outside tonight, and they were all in their armor and sleeping with swords under their pillows. They were immediately awakened by any movement!
Before Yan Liqiang opened his mouth, he suddenly saw a red light coming out of the darkness in the direction of Wuting County in the distance. Almost instantly, the red light grew larger and in the blink of an eye, it illuminated the sky of Wuting County!
There was a fire in Wuting County, and it was a big fire. The fire spread so quickly, it must have been caused by pine oil or other combustible substances. So, something must have happened in the county, there must have been a riot!
At this moment, without Yan Liqiang saying anything, everyone's faces changed and they began to get busy quickly, packing up their things and preparing to evacuate.
When everyone started to get busy, Yan Liqiang strode to the outside of the tent of Concubine Rong and others, and just saw Concubine Rong walking out of the tent with a somewhat panicked look on her face, served by two palace maids. At this time, Concubine Rong woke up from her dream, and there was still a hint of laziness on her face, and her hair was a little messy. Although she was wrapped in a thick shawl, under the shawl, you could still see that her skirt was not completely put on, and a deep cleavage under the shawl was faintly visible. But at this time, everyone was a little panicked. Outside Concubine Rong's tent, there were palace maids running around collecting things, so no one noticed that Concubine Rong was exposing her beauty at this moment.
Concubine Rong, who was a little flustered at first, calmed down a lot when she saw Yan Liqiang coming over with a spear in his hand. "Master Yan, what happened?"
Yan Liqiang's eyes swept over Concubine Rong without lingering, "Your Majesty, there has been a riot in Wuting County. Our whereabouts during the day have been seen by many people. This place is not far from Wuting County, so for your safety, please get in the car immediately. Once you pack up your things, we will leave here immediately!"
Hearing that something happened in Wuting County, Concubine Rong felt a little scared. Fortunately, she listened to Yan Liqiang's words during the day and the convoy did not stop in Wuting County. If she had gone to Wuting County during the day, it would have been like running out of a tiger's den and into a wolf's den. Thinking about the way the refugees looked at the convoy on the road today, Concubine Rong felt a little cold...
"Prince Min, Prince Min is still over there..."
"Your Majesty, please get in the carriage first. I will go and bring Prince Min..."
“Sir Yan, the situation in the county is still unclear. It’s just a little fire. Maybe there was a fire somewhere in the city accidentally. Why bother to panic? Besides, this place is not next to the county. I’m afraid... I’m afraid that even if there is a situation in the county, it will not affect here..." At some point, the annoying eunuch ran in front of Yan Liqiang again, pretending to be relaxed and making convincing arguments.
"If Eunuch Jiang wants to stay here, that's fine. I won't force you. Now, get out of my way and don't block the road..." Yan Liqiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He just pushed the eunuch to the ground and he sat down, crying out in pain.
Eunuch Jiang originally wanted to play the victim in front of Concubine Rong, so he cried out particularly miserably and deliberately didn’t get up for a long time. But Concubine Rong didn’t care about him at this moment. She just glanced at him without even a word of comfort and got on the carriage directly. Eunuch Jiang cried out twice himself, but found that no one cared about him at this time, so he got up boredly, staring at Yan Liqiang’s back, and swearing in his heart, you wait and see how we will deal with you in the future...
In just a moment, Yan Liqiang personally brought Prince Min and Princess Anping, as well as Concubine Duan, Concubine Rui, and Concubine Yi, and walked over quickly to arrange for the five people to get on the carriage. Prince Min and the concubines looked a little flustered, and their clothes were not neat. On the contrary, Princess Anping did not look flustered at all. She was dressed neatly and looked calm. When getting on the carriage, she did not forget to stop and bowed solemnly to Yan Liqiang to thank him, "Master Yan has saved us from the jaws of death many times. Anping doesn't know how to thank you!"
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. Now is the time for our country to serve our country. It is my unshirkable responsibility to escort Your Highness!" Yan Liqiang said in a deep voice.
Princess Anping's beautiful eyes glanced at Yan Liqiang's face. She didn't say anything, just nodded and got on the carriage.
Everyone in the base moved quickly, but after all, it was a rush, and there were so many people, so there was some panic. No one had ever experienced such a scene before, and by the time everyone had packed up their things and were ready to leave, nearly twenty minutes had passed.
Yan Liqiang and his men had not yet left the mound, but a group of about four to five thousand men had already rushed over here from the direction of Wuting County. Some were riding horses, while others were running on the ground. Thousands of them were rushing over with torches, and the flames were like a giant snake on the road. From a distance, they looked very aggressive and frightening.
The cavalry of those people rushed to the front, there were about five or six hundred of them. Before they arrived, the loud shouts of those hundreds of people were heard on the mound.
"Capture Concubine Rong and Prince Min alive, don't let them escape..."
"There are many beautiful palace maids in the convoy, as well as Princess Anping and several imperial concubines. Whoever catches them tonight will get them..."
