Yu and Sun both asked in confusion: "Why?"
After the two of them finished talking, they saw that the young man did not answer, but only asked a few questions in a low voice to the person holding the stand. After getting a positive answer from the person, he turned to the two of them and came slowly. Just as he was confused, he wanted to speak. When he asked the question, he saw the young man suddenly attacking the two of them as he walked in front of them.
The young man had a strong martial arts level, his strikes were as fast as lightning, and his fingers were strong. When the two were stunned for a moment, they were already hit in the chest. Yu and Sun felt as if their chests had been hit hard. Under the severe pain, they each took three steps back. When they stopped, a trace of blood appeared on the corners of their lips.
"Why... why?" General Sun felt his chest was burning, but he still reluctantly spoke.
But before he got a reply from the young man, he kept moving and attacked the two of them again. The young man's sword pointed at their chests. After hitting the acupuncture points, he saw that the green shirt had already flashed to the side of the seriously injured person who was about to wake up. .
"I hope you two can forgive me!"
The young star's eyes were full of guilt, but he disappeared in an instant. He seemed to have made up his mind and spoke to the two of them: "I have sealed two acupuncture points, but walking is not hindered... Mu wants to invite you two Take me to see His Highness Prince Ning."
The two of them didn't know why the young man suddenly attacked them. After hearing the young man's words, they hurriedly said, "Brother Mu..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of cold light, and a long sword shining with moonlight suddenly appeared in the young man's hand. The sword's edge was pointing at the two people's throats. He raised his eyes and saw that the young man had murderous intent in his eyes... .
——
On the long street of Yanbei City, the people had knelt down by the roadside, kowtowing to His Highness Prince Ning, who was leading the army back to the city, and cried out about everything that happened in the city.
Ning Wang Qitao, who was riding in front, could not bear the anger in his eyes as the people cried and complained. He then turned to the two generals of the Fu family behind him, glanced at Gao and Chen aside intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a deep voice: "Several of you. He can be regarded as the leading general in the patrol army. What do I, the people of Qiyun, think when I see you like this?"
The two brothers Fukang and Furui heard the implication of King Ning's words. They hurriedly dismounted from their horses, hurried forward, knelt on the ground and begged for punishment: "The two general brothers were incompetent and allowed the people to suffer. Please forgive me!"
Qi Tao withdrew his gaze from Gao Deng beside him, turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the roadside and knelt beside the people, raised his hand to help an old man, and comforted him: "The old man has suffered, everything in Yanbei City is done in Jin Dynasty." People are causing trouble...Qi Tao is here just for this matter."
As he spoke, his eyes were already slightly red...but he quickly calmed down, Qi Tao raised his voice slightly, and spoke loudly to the people of Yanbei: "Please rest assured, the Holy One is thinking about it, and the imperial court has not Forgot, I, Qi Tao, hereby swear an oath that today’s grudge against Yanbei will be repaid a hundred times by the Jin thieves in the future!”
When the people heard the prince's oath, they hurriedly bowed their heads and shouted...
Hearing the tsunami-like words of "Long live the Holy One" soaring into the sky, Qi Tao knew that the people of Yanbei were now at peace, and felt a little relieved. Then he looked back and looked at the patrolling generals who were kneeling on the ground, and his eyes moved slightly to look towards the south of the city. , I don’t know what I am thinking.
"General Gao, I ask you again, is what Fu Kang and Furui said true?" Qi Tao pulled away and walked to Gao Deng, who was kneeling beside the Fu brothers. His eyes were slightly lowered. When he spoke, he was completely different from the gentle and gentle way he treated the people before, and his words were even more majestic.
Gordon, who was as fat as a ball, didn't seem to be intimidated by the prince. He only thought about it for a moment, and then spoke without being humble or arrogant: "What Generals Fukang and Furui said is true."
"Since the young man in green shirt has done a great job in wiping out the Jin thieves in Yanbei City, and he is also a commoner, if we capture him, what will the people think once they know about it, and how will Yanbei soldiers view the imperial court?" Prince Ning's tone was indifferent, but Fukang and Furui had already heard some dissatisfaction from the prince.
However, what Gao Deng relied on was the order of Emperor Qi Yun. Even if the prince was dissatisfied, he could not express it at all, but it made Gao Deng miserable. He couldn't help but complain in his heart. After the ghostly night crime, the prince passed away, and the Ning in front of him The king will definitely ascend to the throne in the future. From the few words he just said and the way he conquered the hearts of the people, it can be seen that once this prince, known as the "Wise King", ascends to the throne, his actions today will definitely be criticized. Disaster...
Unfortunately, things have come to this. If I don't capture that young man and find what the Holy One wants, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive.
If you can't get out of Beicheng, you will end up with the same fate as Wan Jun.
Thinking of this, Gordon, who was kneeling on the ground, could only grit his teeth and said: "Your Highness, the general is just following orders... I hope your Highness will forgive me!"
How could Qi Tao not know that Gao Deng was obeying orders? The orders in his mouth were naturally the orders of the emperor. Even if he wanted to protect him, how could he disobey his father's order? The brothers have also secretly sent people to inform him, but they don't know whether he has left or not.
"Get up, I have listened to your advice and led the army back to the city. You should think about it carefully. If the young man cannot be found and he escapes, you will be held responsible for this crime without my own action. You will go to jail yourself. I am waiting for my father to punish me." Qi Tao returned to his previous calm tone, but the implication was extremely clear.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has led us to pursue us all the way north, but we have not found any clues. After thinking about it over and over again, if this young man has not escaped, then he must still be in Yanbei City. As long as we..."
How could Gao Deng not understand the meaning of His Highness Prince Ning's words to protect the young man? But now that the matter has come to this, he can extend his head with a knife and retract his head with a knife. Only by capturing the young man can he break his siege and grit his teeth to report. At that time, he heard the people around him in the city making sounds of surprise. He couldn't help but look up and saw His Highness Prince Ning in front of him, looking southward with a serious look on his face. It was the Fu brothers who had opposed him along the way. He turned his head and looked south, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Gordon also followed everyone's gaze, and his small eyes, which were squeezed by the flesh on his face, suddenly widened. What caught his eyes was the silhouette of the Yanbei City defenders slowly retreating with weapons in hand.
"This is..." Gordon couldn't help but murmured, but before he had time to react, the Fu brothers stood up beside him, with swords in their hands, and gave orders to the patrol behind them.
"Protect His Highness Prince Ning and protect the people."
As soon as the military order came out, the patrol soldiers only knew that the remaining bandits in the city were still alive, so they took up their weapons and guarded King Ning. The people seemed to have remembered the tragedy of the previous night and got into chaos.
Seeing that chaos was about to happen again in the city, Qi Tao raised his sword eyebrows slightly, pushed aside the patrol soldiers who were guarding him, and said to the Fu brothers: "Don't panic, you two sent a military order to leave a battalion of soldiers to protect the people. , the remaining people will go with me to investigate."
After giving the military order, Qi Tao came out with his head held high. Fukang Furui, who was beside him, saw this and hurriedly followed to protect him. At the same time, he opened his mouth and shouted to the Yanbei defenders who were slowly pushing forward.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning has arrived——"
Hearing the name of King Ning, the soldiers guarding the city stopped one after another, and then stepped aside in an orderly manner, finally revealing the people trapped in the siege formation. Although the night was dark, Qi Tao could see the people trapped by the Yanbei Army at a glance. It was Mu Yi.
King Ning frowned slightly, secretly thinking that something was wrong, but Gao Deng said so seriously. The young man had not yet left the city, so he moved his eyes slightly and turned to the Fu brothers who were guarding him.
Fukang felt anxious when he saw the young man trapped in the Yanbei City garrison. He hurriedly looked at Fukang next to him, but he saw that Furui was as confused as himself. At this time, Fukang was also secretly thinking in his heart. : "Is it possible that this kid didn't ask Yu Lie to report the news? It shouldn't, it shouldn't, how could anyone ignore his own life..."
Thinking in his mind, he saw clearly the person held by the sword in the young man's hand. The doubts in Furui's eyes disappeared, and he suddenly said to himself: "This boy does have some loyalty..."
At this time, the young man held a weak pipe pot in one hand and a broken moon in the other. The sword was placed on the necks of Yu Lie and Sun Pian, and he moved forward slowly.
"The sword in Mu's hand is very sharp. The two generals must not be careful." Although the young man held the sword against each other, he kept warning him all the way.
Generals Yu and Sun were both upright generals who could not control the young minds. Yu Lie frowned and asked, "Brother Mu, what on earth are you going to do..."
"Yes, right now, the city is full of garrison troops and patrolling troops... No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, it will be extremely difficult to escape from the city with injured people." Sun Pian will come from this way. The young man spoke with concern, and he was sure that the young man did not want to hurt himself and Yu Lie, but was just worried that it would be inconvenient for him to escape.
Gu Xiao was about to speak when he saw the Yanbei defenders who had surrounded everyone move out of the way with a loud shout. A calculating light flashed in his eyes, and then he slightly drew back his sword, signaling the two of them to get closer to him. Then he spoke in a low voice.
"The two generals are determined to help me out of trouble, but just as I entered the city, someone from the city's patrol saw me. Once I leave with Brother Chi, someone will investigate carefully, and they will be implicated. Although my method is dangerous, it is still possible. But I can protect you two from being implicated because of me."
Only then did Yu and Sun understand that the young man had good intentions and was not willing to risk his own life. Just when they were about to say no, they saw the young man ducking and hitting their mute points with the sword head, sealing their mouths. , and then spoke to His Royal Highness Prince Ning in the distance.
"Since Your Highness is here, I have a few words to ask Your Highness."
The voice containing the inner strength of the young man resounded over Yanbei City and reached the ears of everyone in front. Not only the Yanbei defenders and patrols heard it clearly, but also the people of Yanbei City who were guarded by the patrols behind them. smell.
Qi Tao did not expect that the young man was actually in Yanbei City. Not only did he not escape, but he appeared in front of him openly.
His move disrupted his plan. Qi Tao frowned slightly. If he escaped secretly, he had many reasons to cover it up. Now that he was seen all over the city, even if he wanted to protect him, he could not. No arrest.
My mind was racing, thinking about how to escape him, when I heard Gao Deng's voice coming from behind me: "This person is secretly liaising with the Jin thieves. The patrol army must obey the order and capture this person quickly!"
As soon as this order was issued, the patrols gathered around with knives. The young man also saw this scene and already understood in his heart. When he was healing the injury of the tobacco pot, he was thinking about what happened when Yu Lie came to report the news. Who wants to capture him? Seeing the postures of everyone at this time, he will know that the one who ordered his capture is not His Highness Prince Ning, whose pseudonym is Mr. Yun, but Gao Deng.
"Master Yun...His Royal Highness Prince Ning...I see, it seems that the person who wants to capture me is more powerful than this His Highness... There can only be one person behind Gao Deng, but why is he trying to embarrass me? Such a little-known pawn?" The young man murmured to himself, getting the answer he wanted, and along with it came many unanswered questions.
Seeing that the guards were surrounding him, the young man stopped thinking and decided to make an escape plan according to what he had thought before.
He retreated slightly, and as he stood next to Sun and Sun, he tilted his head and whispered, "I hope you two eldest brothers will take care of me. Now that I have figured out who is going to take me, I will leave now..."
As he spoke, the long sword in his hand was once again pressed against the necks of Sun and Sun. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud shout from someone in the crowd.
"Adults, please wait a moment."
When Qi Tao was thinking hard about what excuse he could use to save his savior, he heard these words and looked back, only to see a man with a baby in his arms among the crowd of people, pushing aside the people in front of him and walking out quickly.
