Li Dabao was an ordinary soldier in the City Guards. On New Year's Eve, something big happened to the City Guards. Deputy Commander Yan Xingyun was captured by Lord Dingguo on charges of collaborating with the enemy. Even several officers who were friends with Deputy Commander Yan were arrested. Under house arrest.
The Yong'an City Guards are mainly responsible for the defense of the capital and law enforcement within the city. Although the position of general commander is held by Ding Guogong Zhao Mingheng, Ding Guogong is busy with military affairs and has no time to manage the City Guards. Daily guarding, training, and execution of official duties are all carried out by deputy generals. The commander-in-chief Yan Xingyun only needs to report important matters to Duke Dingguo. The deputy commander of the Gucheng Guards is no different from an ordinary commander. In addition, Yan Xingyun is powerful, righteous and can take the lead, which gives him prestige in the army. Extremely high.
After Yan Xingyun was imprisoned, the city guards immediately fell into a leaderless situation. Although Zhao Mingheng, the commander-in-chief of Dingguo, personally appointed four generals to command the four city gates, many in the army were dissatisfied, and the four had to use high-pressure methods to suppress them. At one time, dozens of city guard generals and soldiers were imprisoned and punished. Only then did the resentment among the generals gradually subside, and the city guard was finally able to resume operations.
The treasure is located at the east city gate where Deputy Commander Yan and several other generals were detained. The current person in charge is Dongcheng General Cao De. This man is highly skilled in martial arts but loves great achievements. He is also good at deceiving superiors and concealing others, and gaining influence. At the bottom, The reputation among the military was extremely bad. They were angry and dared not speak out about this man's rise to power. Even if a few foolish young men jumped out and said a few words of justice, they would be suppressed by Cao Shen. In the least case, the nose would be bruised and the face would be swollen. The worst offenders were directly imprisoned in the dungeon, waiting to be punished. It looked like they would never get any good results. As soon as Li Dabao saw General Cao De, he would curse in his heart and have the urge to rush up and beat him up. However, he was at the bottom and had average strength. He really didn't have the capital to be impulsive, but he also didn't want to participate in the tasks assigned by Cao De. He used an old injury on his leg as an excuse to stay on guard in the tower.
Tonight, the city tower was as calm as usual. Neither the sounds of New Year celebrations in the city nor the subsequent sounds of chaos had any impact on the city tower. The night was already deep, and Li Dabao, who was thinking about the strangeness of today's situation one moment, seemed to have dozed off the next moment.
Suddenly a figure jumped up from the city, went straight up the city wall, and in a flash, was about to run towards the entrance of the dungeon.
"Enemy attack!" A hurried shout woke up Li Dabao. The city wall he was on was not far from the entrance of the dungeon. He could clearly see the appearance of the intruder. A strong and powerful middleman wearing a dark linen robe. The young man was fighting the city guards with his bare hands. It was not so much a fight as a beating. The man was carrying a knife without unsheathing it. He just used his hand as a knife, and he could also make the city guards fight with him. If hit, the person loses the ability to move.
Li Dabao did not step forward, but kept observing carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt that this person looked familiar. "Eh? Isn't this person the boss of Wuweilou?" A soldier who also did not join the battle had sharp eyes. He had already seen the details of this person and exclaimed.
Li Dabao suddenly realized that a memory came into his mind. Half a year ago, a rich man from a wealthy family got married. Li Dabao and several other ordinary soldiers were befriended by the man and were invited to help. They were busy with the arrangements for two days before they were finished. , Tired Li Dabao and others complained endlessly. After the wedding, the adults of Qianhu were so happy that they took Li Dabao and others to the Wuweilou, which is famous throughout the city, for dinner. The taste still makes Li Dabao have endless aftertaste. It was that time that I met the owner of Wuweilou in the restaurant.
The boss at this time is completely different from what he was then. His skills are so high that he is no longer like a mortal, just like an immortal descended into the world.
"I don't want to kill innocent people, and I have always shown mercy. From now on, if anyone tries to stop me again, don't blame me for killing you!" The boss said loudly before entering the dungeon, his voice was strange, and the sound could be heard within a hundred feet of the city wall. Entering everyone's ears, it's like speaking close to the ear. After the boss entered the dungeon, several more dungeon guards were thrown out, and no one in the city guard dared to step forward.
A moment later, Cao De came boldly, holding a long-edged two-handed sword, like a sword, and seemed to have great power.
"What are you doing in a daze? Come on, you bastards! If you avoid the battle, you will be punished as a deserter!" Seeing that his men were all standing on the spot, at a loss, Cao De shouted urgently. Seeing that no one was moving, he held the sword in both hands and went straight to The soldier next to him slashed at him with astonishing force. He actually cut the soldier in half with one slash. This unlucky man would never believe that he would be killed by his colleagues until he died.
"See, if you don't take action, I will chop you all up one by one!" Cao De's expression was ferocious, and he was extremely anxious.
"How dare you!" A solemn rebuke came from the dungeon. Immediately, a general about thirty years old walked out of the dungeon. It was Yan Xingyun, the deputy commander of the city guard, followed by several generals. Yan Xingyun was wearing a battle robe, armor, a red cloak on his shoulders, and a fine iron cape on his head. He wore a crown and no helmet, and his handsome face was somewhat dark and rough due to exposure to wind and sun on the city wall all year round.
"Cao De, today you not only participated in Duke Ding's rebellion, but you actually dared to kill Pao Ze openly. The crime is unpardonable. The city guards obeyed the order and followed the general to punish the rebels!!" Yan Xingyun faced Cao De and glared angrily, his eyes red. There was a raging fire burning. He took the sword handed by his colleague and rushed straight towards Cao De.
After hearing the order, the city guards swarmed towards Cao De without hesitation, and Li Dabao rushed to the front of the crowd.
Although Cao De and a dozen of his cronies knew they could not resist, they could only bite the bullet and attack. The two waves of men and horses met in close combat. In an instant, most of Cao De's men were killed.
Just when Cao De and others were in dire straits, three masters in black came out of nowhere. Just as the three were about to attack the city guards who were attacking Cao De, a figure suddenly appeared with a strange-shaped weapon. The sword came out of its sheath, chopping melons and vegetables, and chopped down the three masters. The three masters died before they could take action. The one who made the move was none other than Lu Zhengliang.
When Vice Commander Yan was defeating Cao De, Li Dabao saw the right opportunity and pierced Cao De's heart with a knife. When Cao De was about to die, he looked at Li Dabao with a look of disbelief on his face. The person who killed him was actually an ordinary person. He didn't even bother to look at the ordinary soldier. An expression of unwillingness, resentment, and shame appeared on his face, but what was the use? Cao De was unable to do anything, and his body fell heavily on the city wall.
"Now the rebellion on the city wall has been eliminated, but the invading enemy is too powerful. Our Jin'an Palace is in danger today. Only the Crown Prince has escaped. The Crown Prince wants to leave the city through my east gate. My sons, you are among them. If you have no worries and are willing to die for our Jin'an Dynasty, you can follow the Crown Prince with me. The future is uncertain. If you are bound or unwilling to follow, you can stay in Yong'an City and send the Crown Prince off respectfully!" Yan Xingyun walked up to the city wall. From the highest point, he shouted loudly and gave the city guards two choices.
"Feng Yue is willing to follow the Crown Prince!"
"Zhang Hu is willing to follow!"
"Little Song Liang is willing!"
"Li Dabao swears to follow you to the death!"
…
Words with different voices came and went one after another, but the same thing was that everyone said it firmly and decisively, without any hesitation.
In the end, Chu Boping took away a total of 76 soldiers, including Yan Xingyun, and 200 horses.
Three days later, Li Dabao and his team passed through the border between Jin'an and Youzhou. There were no obstacles along the way. They quickly reached the border as they galloped.
Facing the unknown future, Li Dabao didn't have much nervousness. He was an orphan. Following the crown prince and the deputy commander, he seemed to have a destination in his heart. He just walked on firmly regardless of the way forward.
