The eldest prince's Feihu camp and General Peng's tens of thousands of people were divided into front, middle and rear armies after noon and set off one after another. Feihuying, who had been on the road in the middle of the night, only rested for a few hours before he had to hit the road.
And because it was broad daylight, no matter how high their martial arts skills were, Zheng Baye and his two brothers could not find a chance to get close to the eldest prince to understand the situation. However, finally, the two found a local Beggar Clan disciple.
…
"Niu Laoqi, are you saying that after the city was broken, General Li Ziyu was seriously injured but not killed?"
Master Zheng Ba asked after listening to the story of the Beggar Clan disciple named Niu Laoqi.
"Exactly, Gang Leader Zheng, I was going to go to Xiangyang to Gui Gang Leader, but my mother is seriously ill in bed, and I, I really can't leave!"
Niu Laoqi nodded, feeling a little helpless as he spoke.
"It doesn't matter, filial piety comes first. You did the right thing. Besides, if you have such a heart, I don't think Gang Leader Gui will blame you."
Zheng Baye smiled.
"I have a brother from my hometown who happened to beg for food under General Peng. When we attacked the city, he was nearby. General Li was indeed seriously injured. Both arms were injured and he lost strength in the battle."
Niu Laoqi said it with certainty.
"Then do you know where General Li is now?"
Zheng Baye asked immediately.
"This, I didn't know this before. However, I see that General Peng is in such a hurry to attack the city, I'm afraid he won't be here for a long time. Didn't you hear this morning that the eldest prince has arrived with a group of troops? "
Niu Laoqi shook his head. He had been awake almost all night last night and was frightened. Those waves of attacks and bursts of noise scared him so much that he could only take his old mother to hide in the sweet potato hole, for fear that "the city gate would catch fire and affect the fish in the pond"!
"Oh, that man is actually the eldest prince! No wonder those soldiers are so respectful to him!"
Master Zheng suddenly realized and thought, it seems that if the prince walked to Pingjiang at night and abandoned Changsha City, he was really planning to escape.
Now, what should we do?
He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
Should we first try to find out the whereabouts of Li Ziyu and wait for an opportunity to rescue him, or should we go back to Changsha and report the news, so as to teach the eldest prince not to escape easily?
"Gang Leader Zheng, please tell me how to do it!"
Master Baiyun is also very thoughtful and aware of Zheng Baye's difficulties.
"Now that General Li is seriously injured, his life or death is unknown, and he is trapped in the enemy camp, the top priority is to save him. However, if the eldest prince is allowed to escape from Pingjiang, it will probably take a lot of trouble to intercept him. Gotta keep him."
Zheng Baye expressed his annoyance.
To be honest, he was not absolutely sure about saving people. You think, after all, Li Ziyu is a Yuezhou general and has some status, so the guard must be a bit tight. Moreover, who can understand the thoughts of this eldest prince? In his next step, will he surrender Li Ziyu, kill him with one blow, or keep him prisoner as a weight in his hand?
"Gang Leader Zheng, in my opinion, it is better to ask the seventh brother to go to Changsha and inform General Xu Lang and General Ling Yue of the situation. The two of us should sneak behind the army quietly, firstly to see them Where to go, first of all, we must also find a way to find out where General Li is imprisoned and who is guarding him?"
As soon as his mind opened up, Master Baiyun immediately made a suggestion.
This suggestion should be said to be good. He and Zheng Baye are highly skilled in martial arts and are tracking together. Their strength is definitely more guaranteed, and they can also take care of each other. By asking Niu Laoqi to go to Changsha to report the news, he could do both without delay.
"Well, Headmaster Baiyun, this is a very good idea. Lao Qi, do you dare to go to Changsha?"
Master Zheng Ba nodded first, agreeing with Master Baiyun's suggestion, and then asked Niu Laoqi for his opinion.
"Since it's the gang leader's order, what else can you dare to do? Wait for me to settle my old mother, and then I'll be on my way immediately. Don't worry, Lao Qi will never miss your mission."
Naturally, Niu Laoqi did not dare to refuse. He might not know what the righteousness was, but his admiration for Master Zheng made him not frown.
