Xia Houyi jumped on his horse and caught up with his soldiers, following closely behind Chu Tian and his party.
He was determined to follow His Majesty the Seventh Prince.
Chutian caught up with Lin Fengwan a few times, and Lin Fengwan asked in a low voice, "It's all solved!"
There is no doubt about this at all. Lin Fengwan believed in Chutian's ability and just asked symbolically.
"Yeah!" Chu Tian nodded.
As they spoke, the group of people had arrived at the city gate.
Because the streets were full of patrolling soldiers and there were no pedestrians entering or leaving Xiangyang City at all, Chu Tian and his party were considered special beings.
Rebel soldiers stopped Zhang Heng.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Chu Tian stepped forward.
"Brother, we are from the navy camp. We came to Xiangyang City to buy supplies. Please help us!" After saying that, he took out fifty taels of silver ingots in his hand.
Of course this is what is in Guo Huai's warehouse.
The soldier glanced at the silver ingot and did not take it.
"From the navy camp?"
Then, he waved his hand back and said, "The people from the Navy camp are here!"
Hurrah!
A group of soldiers armed with machetes rushed out of the city gate.
"Are you from the navy camp?" One of the men, who looked like a captain, spoke while looking Chu Tian up and down.
"There is an order from the summit, ordering us to arrest the people in the navy camp immediately when we see them!"
When he finished speaking, he was just about to order the soldiers behind him to come up and get someone, when he was punched to death by Chu Tian.
Since we want to capture people from the navy camp, someone must have discovered something.
In the blink of an eye, all twenty rebel soldiers guarding the city gate were eliminated.
Chutian collected the corpses of the rebel soldiers, and an update appeared on the space panel again.
[Corpses: Male fifteen to forty-five years old, twenty bodies. 】
[Armor: depreciation, twenty sets. 】
[Combat boots: depreciated, twenty pairs. 】
[Military uniforms: depreciation, twenty sets. 】
[Machete: twenty handles. 】
The points are also updated on the points panel.
[The items collected just now total one point, and the host currently has thirty-nine points. 】
At this time, Zen Master Yihui came out of the darkness and chanted the name of the Buddha.
"Amitabha!……"
He arrived first and saw that there were no people on the street. He already noticed something was wrong, but he had no time to look back.
He had to get to the city gates and find out what was going on.
As soon as he arrived, Meng Huo arrived.
The two met and had just exchanged a few words when they saw Zhang Heng approaching with a carriage.
The two had no choice but to hide in the dark and wait for Chu Tian and his party to pass through first.
If Chu Tian and his party had a conflict with the rebels, the two of them would come out to help.
Seeing that there was indeed a conflict between Chu Tian and the rebel soldiers, and just as he was about to step out to help, all the rebel soldiers were gone.
Not only was Zen Master Yihui surprised, but Meng Huo, who had experienced many battles, also had his mouth wide open and couldn't close it for a long time.
He could also kill these rebel soldiers without using swords and guns, but it would take time.
Meng Huo had to admit that he was much inferior to Chu Tian in terms of speed and strength.
While he was stunned, Zen Master Yihui walked out.
When Meng Huo rode out, Xia Houyi also followed.
Xia Houyi did not notice the conflict between Chu Tian and the rebel soldiers. However, there were no defenders here, which was obviously abnormal.
When Chu Tian saw Xia Houyi, he warned, "General Xia Hou, when you arrived, there was no one at the city gate. There were no defenders, and they didn't see us!"
As long as he kept his mouth shut, he never saw the rebel soldiers at the city gate. As for when they disappeared, Xia Houyi had nothing to do with it.
Xia Houyi understood that His Highness the Seventh Prince wanted him to do a good job in recruiting navy troops and building warships in the future.
"Xia Houyi understands!" Xia Houyi saluted on his horse, "Everyone, hurry up, the rebels will be here soon!"
This is really not the place to talk.
While talking, Lin Feng signaled Zhang Heng to drive the carriage out of the city gate.
Together with Meng Huo and Zen Master Yihui, they all walked out.
Chu Tian quickly followed out.
Xia Houyi saw a group of rebel soldiers coming not far away and ordered the soldiers around him, "Close the city gate!"
Now that the Seventh Prince and his entourage have safely left Xiangyang City, even if someone smashes the city gate, he will not let anyone in or out of Xiangyang again.
A group of rebel soldiers patrolled over. Seeing Xia Houyi and his people guarding the place, they came to inquire.
"Master Taishou, where are the brothers guarding here?" the captain asked.
That was the brother who came with him. I saw him just now. He came back from a patrol. Why was he gone?
Because of the precedent of the brother who had disappeared at the dock, the captain's tongue trembled a little.
"When I came over with my men, I didn't see the soldiers guarding the city, so I ordered my men to close the city gate!"
There is no doubt about this.
When Xia Houyi came over, he did not see the rebel soldiers guarding the city, let alone his men, not even a hair of the defenders.
When the captain heard this, he realized that this was very similar to the situation of the missing brother at the dock.
This is?
Could it be that the commander-in-chief rebelled and angered God? Take all these brothers away?
If the rebellion really offends God, then the general has to bear the responsibility, right?
Can these little pawns be the boss of the commander-in-chief?
If God wants to punish, he should also punish the commander. Why should he punish these weak pawns?
The captain immediately shuddered when he thought of the words that gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people.
Based on this reasoning, the Marshal is a villain who is despised by gods and ghosts.
Then how can he find a way out by following such a person?
Although he thought this way, the captain still asked, "Master Taishou! Our order to go up to the peak was not to close the city gate. If the murderer of the brothers wanted to take shelter in Xiangyang City, wouldn't it mean that he would not be able to get in? If we want to catch the murderer, don’t we have no direction? "
Xia Houyi sneered coldly, "Do you think we can handle someone who can make dozens of brothers disappear? Or are you letting the murderer enter Xiangyang City because you want all the brothers in Xiangyang City to suffer the same fate?" destiny?"
Xia Houyi thought about it.
Now that you have decided to follow His Highness Seventh Prince to do big things, you have to straighten your back.
Previously, despite receiving an order from Huodu, he was allowed to continue serving in the position of prefect.
Of course, the effectiveness Huo Dou mentioned was not for loyalty to Emperor Chongming or His Highness the Seventh Prince, but for Xia Houyi to be loyal to him, Huo Du.
Loyal to Huo Du?
Xia Houyi didn't even think about it.
He originally wanted to hang up his hat and leave, but thinking of the people of the city and his own family, he had no choice but to endure it and prepare to muddle along.
After receiving Lin Hui's secret letter, I finally had a backbone in my heart.
Meeting Chu Tian further strengthened his loyalty to Da Chu.
Now, he has to argue with the rebels.
For the safety of Xiangyang City, it was natural for him to close the city gate.
The reason is that some of the brothers guarding the city gate have disappeared.
