"Sir, we are all lower-level people. I'm sorry for delaying your march. Please pass by first." Elder Tang helped Elder Sun retreat to the side, and the two of them knelt down. Elder Wang and Elder Zhu also stepped aside and shouted to others to stand aside. A large group of people immediately knelt down and lay on the ground obediently.
The Yulin soldiers stood still, only a few Yulin soldiers around Zhao Yizhi looked sideways, looking at Zhao Yizhi, waiting for Zhao Yizhi's order.
Zhao Yizhi was in a dilemma at this time. The opponents were all dressed as beggars and were poor people. Even though he was almost certain in his mind that this group of people was the beggar gang that kidnapped Sui Gong, there was no evidence. What's more important is that the four elders are extremely powerful. According to the description of the Ziyinwei who escaped, the two Ziyinwei are not the enemy of the "Elder Tang". These Yulin troops around him are even less of a match. If the other side is cornered and the four elders carry out a beheading operation, I am afraid that I will really have to answer for it here.
Zhao Yizhi thought about it and decided to take a step away first, but he couldn't let them go. It was better to walk in front of them and wait for Lijiang and Fanyu to come before making plans.
Zhao Yizhi made up his mind and whispered to a Yulin soldier beside him: "Go and call Lijiang and Fanyu."
Chen Congwei's name was as loud as thunder, and no one in the Yulin Army knew it. The Yulin Army also knew that the situation was urgent, otherwise His Majesty would not be so willing to compromise, so he quickly responded and quietly moved toward the rear of the army.
Zhao Yizhi said loudly: "There's not much delay. We were originally going to Wuhu. Just hurry up and don't cause trouble." After saying that, the leader turned the horse's head and prepared to head towards Lijiang and Fanyu. Team up and leave.
Elder Tang was lying on the ground, wondering in his heart: Usually when officials see us, they beat or scold us. Why is this high official so easy to talk to? Maybe it’s because we don’t have much money to make. Fortunately, Sui Gong was left in Ancheng...
Zhao Yizhi and Elder Tang both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At this time, a one-legged woman among the beggars stood up and jumped on one leg towards Zhao Yizhi's Yulin Army: "Sir, help me, sir! These are all robbers! Don't leave, sir...ah"
The one-legged woman didn't jump a few steps before she was kicked by Elder Tang into the paddy field on the roadside. After screaming, she fell into the mud and vomited blood.
"Bitch!" Elder Tang was extremely angry and cursed angrily.
Zhao Yizhi lightly reined in the horses. The horses under his crotches were extremely tame. They immediately stopped, and each man and the horse froze in place.
The woman was lying in the paddy field, with blood flowing out of her mouth. It was obvious that Elder Tang had kicked her very hard. Still moaning softly: "Sir...save me..."
Zhao Yizhi turned around and looked at Elder Tang coldly. Elder Tang also glanced at Zhao Yizhi. The two looked at each other for a moment. Finally, Elder Tang gave in, stepped back and knelt on the roadside.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Elder Sun quickly spoke out to smooth things over: "Sir, this is my daughter-in-law. She is really hungry. It is a capital crime to surprise you. My little son is afraid that she will offend her, so...don't blame me."
Zhao Yizhi couldn't bear it any longer and asked: "You are so bold, you kidnapped Sui Gong, and you committed murders in front of me. Do you still take Daqi's law seriously? Come on, give it to me. Take it!”
"Me?" Elder Tang's eyes lit up while he was lying on the ground. He got up and said with a smile, "Hahaha, it really took no effort at all. Little Emperor, you are seeking death on your own. You can't blame me. Come up together with the three elders. If you capture the little emperor, the prince will reward you!"
Elder Wang raised his head from the ground and asked softly: "Elder Tang, there are nearly a thousand people opposite..."
Elder Tang glanced at Elder Wang with disdain, "I and the four of us work together, what do nearly a thousand people count?" After saying that, without waiting for the rest of the people to react, he rushed towards Zhao Yizhi first.
"What Elder Tang said is absolutely true. Taking down the little emperor will be an unparalleled feat!" Elder Sun responded, got up and followed closely.
Elder Zhu also stood up and shouted: "Take down the man on the red horse, ascend to the elder!" As soon as he finished speaking, the beggars kneeling on the ground raised their heads in a daze, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly everyone People broke out, walking, crawling or running, swarming towards Zhao Yizhi.
Elder Zhu and Elder Wang also joined together. The hundreds of beggars who had been lying on the ground and cowering just now were like a herd of frightened animals, and their target was Zhao Yizhi.
"Escort!" The Yulin troops reacted very quickly. The front row quickly held shields and guns, and formed a formation to block the official road. The Yulin troops in the back row and on both sides moved closer to Zhao Yizhi, tightly surrounding him and protecting him.
Elder Tang took the lead and rushed in front of the Yulin army. He turned to avoid several spears and kicked hard on the shield. The Yulin army in the front row was kicked down and four or five people were knocked over. Elder Tang took advantage of the situation and jumped up, attacking Zhao Yizhi who was on the horse.
Seeing that Elder Tang had a clear target, the Yulin soldiers panicked. Two Yulin soldiers held long spears and stabbed at Elder Tang in mid-air. Elder Tang stretched out his hands and grabbed the two spears. With such force, he broke the spear heads and threw them towards Zhao Yizhi, one left and one right. He stepped lightly on the gun shaft, used his strength again, rose into the air, and rushed towards Zhao Yizhi relentlessly.
The two Yulin soldiers on the left and right of Zhao Yizhi quickly swung their swords and chopped off the spear head thrown by Elder Tang and fell to the ground. Zhao Yizhi looked at the spear head that fell to the ground and felt his heart was in his throat.
Everyone knows that to capture the thief first, capture the king. Zhao Yizhi was also prepared to be targeted, but he did not expect that the opponent would be so strong. In an instant, two gun heads were approaching in front of him, and the nearly 100 Yulin troops around him looked as if they were nothing. Elder Tang was no more than ten feet away from him, and Zhao Yizhi could already see the black mud in his fingernails...
"Suffer death!" Elder Tang smiled ferociously, reaching out and grabbing Zhao Yizhi's throat.
"I am the emperor of Daqi!" Zhao Yizhi remembered that night in the capital, when Mo Qinglou also attacked him. At that time, he shouted, and Mo Qinglou could not move forward even half an inch. Zhao Yizhi at this time If you want to follow the same example, let out a loud shout.
Contrary to expectations, Elder Tang's sharp claws reached out. If it weren't for the quick eyesight and quick hands of a Yulin soldier beside him, who took Zhao Yizhi off the horse, Zhao Yizhi would have been pinched in Elder Tang's hands at this time.
"Your Majesty, please leave quickly!" As soon as this loyal Yulin soldier shouted, Elder Tang grabbed the back of the neck and broke his neck instantly.
Seeing Zhao Yizhi's critical moment, the rest of the Yulin Army rushed forward and blocked Zhao Yizhi behind them, pointing their sharp spears directly at Elder Tang. Elder Tang, who was as strong as him, couldn't get close for a moment, so he simply fell to the ground and started fighting with the Yu Lin soldiers around him.
Elders Sun, Zhu and Wang led a group of beggars and attacked the front line of the Yulin Army. The Yulin Army's big shield stood on the ground, holding it tightly and not daring to give in even half a step.
The beggars were blocked, but Elder Sun and the three of them jumped over the big shield with a slight jump, and entered the Yulin Army's strong formation, where they started fighting with a group of Yulin Army.
The beggars had no martial arts skills and beat the shield wildly on the outside, but to no avail. Thinking of Zhao Yizhi's imperial order, the Yulin Army did not dare to defend the beggars. However, with the madness of the beggars and the fighting of the four elders in the military formation, the front row formation was on the verge of collapse.
Zhao Yizhi was hiding in the middle of the Yulin Army. The Yulin Army who were still standing beside Zhao Yizhi just now were beaten to pieces by Elder Tang in a short time. Elder Tang got excited and grabbed a smaller Yulin soldier, used it as a weapon, and started swinging it around. The Yulin army screamed again and again.
"Why are you working so hard for such a little emperor? Why don't you capture the little emperor and give it to my prince, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life!" Elder Tang looked at the terrified Yulin soldiers while killing wantonly. While opening his mouth to persuade him to surrender, he used the technique of attacking the heart.
"Don't listen to his nonsense!"
"You need to tell me! My old Zhang family has been in the Yulin Army for generations. It doesn't matter if I die, I still have three brothers! I don't have to worry about my parents taking care of themselves in old age!"
"Don't think about death, we have to go back alive, and I'll treat everyone to a drink when we get back!"
Opposite Elder Tang, the Yulin soldiers encouraged each other with words, and no one dared to take a step back. As soon as the Yu Lin Army saw Zhao Yi Zhi, they all hid him behind their backs. In just a moment, they retreated more than a few feet from the crowded Yu Lin Army. This is also due to Zhao Yizhi's personal visit to the military camp some time ago. All the soldiers in the camp knew him. Otherwise, there would not be so many soldiers sacrificing their lives to protect each other today.
A young Yu Linjun was grabbed by Elder Tang, punched in the heart, and thrown out casually. Elder Tang didn't pay attention and continued to look for the next opponent.
The beggar gang often arrests children and some young people for "picking and cutting", and Elder Tang is responsible for supervising the executions. Every time he looked at those twisted faces and listened to the miserable screams, Elder Tang felt an indescribable joy. There is a secret rumor in the gang that Elder Tang is a murderer from the sky who has come down to earth. He has no other hobbies but bloodlust. The children in the gang should not be killed easily, and Elder Tang did not dare to go too far. But now, in the eyes of Elder Tang, the fate of the Yulin Army was at stake. Elder Tang became more and more enthusiastic in killing, and gradually fell into madness.
Zhao Yizhi was still walking back and forth among the crowd, being protected by the Yulin Army. The young Yulin Army who was thrown away by Elder Tang happened to fall down and fell next to Zhao Yizhi.
Zhao Yizhi quickly reached out to help the young man, instinctively reaching out to stop the bleeding, but he was punched in the center by Elder Tang, which hurt his heart and suffered internal injuries. Zhao Yizhi's efforts to stop the bleeding were in vain.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, we are useless... unable to protect Your Majesty... Zhou Quan, go to the rear... the Heavenly Guard will protect you..." The young Yulin Army spoke intermittently.
Zhao Yi nodded uncontrollably: "I know, I know. Don't talk yet, just hold on."
The young Yulin Army shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty... eighteen years later... I will still be your... Yulin... Army..."
Zhao Yizhi finally stopped the blood spurting from Yu Linjun's mouth, but the young Yu Linjun also stopped breathing...
Zhao Yizhi slowly placed the Yulin Army on the ground, and the Yulin Army behind him dragged Zhao Yizhi up and retreated backwards. Zhao Yizhi held down his hand, stood up, and looked at Elder Tang who was still fighting in the crowd. Elder Tang seemed to sense it and turned his head to look over, just in time to see Zhao Yizhi.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Elder Tang's mouth.
Zhao Yizhi looked up to the sky and shouted: "Where is Chen Congwei!"
