Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai are young and courageous. When it comes to certain decisions, they are both the kind of characters who dare to fight as long as they think there is a chance.
That night, the two secretly mobilized their troops out of Yuyang and lay in wait outside the imperial capital.
In the morning of the next day, Zhong Bai was wearing a dragon robe, a crown on his head, and his hands were tied behind his back with thick ropes. He was escorted by Peng Shuang and Liang Yuan, while Xiao Yuan was in the uniform of a county magistrate and walked at the front.
There were only four of them, and they just walked outside the city gate. At this time, the imperial city had been occupied by Wu Yuan. On the city walls, there were rebels with cloth scarves on their heads and spears in hand.
Before the four people could get closer, a sharp arrow was shot and nailed to the ground in front of them: "Stop, whoever is coming!"
Xiao Yuan stood at the front, with Peng Shuang and Liang Yuan acting as his followers. After hearing the shouts, he raised his head and shouted:
"I am Wei Fang, the magistrate of Yuyang County. I am here today to present the Emperor to General Wu Yuan. Please let me know!"
What! ? Hearing this, the rebels on the city suddenly widened their eyes. When they saw the man tied up behind Xiao Yuan, wasn't he wearing a dragon robe and a crown?
Under such circumstances, the rebels did not dare to delay, and someone immediately said: "Quick! Go and report to the general!"
At this moment, Wu Yuan was not in the palace, but was preparing to gather his troops to attack Yuyang. After hearing the news, he was also surprised, and without any delay, he quickly walked to the top of the city.
After arriving at the top of the city, he first leaned out half of his body, took a closer look, and then asked loudly: "Is this Mr. Wei below the city?"
The Yuyang County Magistrate's name was indeed Wei Fang. Xiao Yuan replied without any panic: "It's the official."
He called himself a lower official. Wu Yuan heard this and asked again: "What does Mr. Wei want?"
"The general raises his troops to revolt, which is in accordance with the law of heaven! Today, the emperor fled south and entered my Yuyang. The lower official knew that he was no match for the general. If he did not surrender again, he would be attacked by the general. Therefore, I specially dedicated the emperor to the general as a gift. Show your loyalty!" Xiao Yuan said nonsense.
But these words sounded so good to Wu Yuan’s ears!
He was just about to lead his troops to Yuyang, but he didn't expect that the county magistrate came to ask for surrender at this time!
In his excitement, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Wei, are you saying that... that person is the emperor!?"
"Exactly!" Xiao Yuan replied.
oops! This was really effortless. Wu Yuan was pleasantly surprised, but before he could speak, Xiao Yuan said again:
"To show my loyalty to my subordinates, today I not only present the Emperor, but also the Imperial Seal! With the talents of a general, after capturing the Emperor and adding the Imperial Seal, we will surely accomplish great things!"
"Wha...what!? Imperial Seal!?" Wu Yuan's eyes widened. In surprise, he immediately urged: "Quick! Hurry and offer it!"
The charm of the Jade Seal was no less than that of the Emperor. At that time, with Wu Yuan's traitor mentality, he could not resist this temptation.
He was carried away by the excitement, but onlookers knew better. When his dog-headed military advisor saw this, he quickly advised: "General, be careful of fraud."
"Hey?" Unexpectedly, Wu Yuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "There are only four people on the other side, how can there be any deception? The Yuyang County magistrate must be afraid of our army, so he came to surrender, otherwise, Yuxi How could it be on him? It can only be said that he captured the emperor. It is certain that he sincerely surrendered, otherwise he would not dare to come here alone. "
Judging from the situation at the scene, what he said was quite reasonable, and Xiao Yuan had caught on to this point in his psychology. When the military advisor heard this, he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
Under Wu Yuan's order, the city gate was half-opened, and the pawns ran out quickly.
Then, Xiao Yuan presented the imperial seal.
When the jade seal was delivered to Wu Yuan's hand, the latter took it with slight trembling, and then carefully observed it in his hand. At the same time, he said excitedly: "Jade Seal... Jade Seal! Sir, this is really a national heritage. Jade seal..."
"This..." The military advisor also swallowed hard.
Wu Yuan held the jade seal, which he couldn't help but turn over in his hand. After observing it for a while, he finally came to his senses, and then quickly ordered to his men: "Quick! Welcome Mr. Wei into the city!"
As he spoke, he walked down the city in three steps and two steps.
Not long after, the city gate opened wide, and Peng Shuang behind him immediately pushed Zhong Bai hard: "Quickly go!"
Being pushed by this, Zhong Bai staggered and started shouting: "Rebels! You bunch of traitors! I will kill you nine tribes——"
"Hahahaha——" Listening to his shouting, Wu Yuan smiled on his back. After the four of them entered the city, he also came up to them and said to Xiao Yuan:
"Since Mr. Wei is willing to be loyal to me, I, Wu Yuan, will definitely not treat you badly! Your contribution is unparalleled!"
"Haha, the general said something serious. Good birds choose trees to roost in." Xiao Yuan responded.
"Master Wei said it well..."
Wu Yuan was just a traitor. How could he have met the emperor, and how could he recognize the real magistrate of Yuyang County.
At this time, he also began to look at Zhong Bailai up and down playfully, and at the same time said: "The Emperor, the Emperor, you also have today..."
But before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan and the four of them looked at each other in unison, and then moved together!
"You two guard the city gate!" With a shout, Xiao Yuan's sword was unsheathed, and in an instant, he had attacked Wu Yuan.
Zhong Bai, whose hands were originally bound, also stepped forward and walked directly behind Wu Yuan. With a flick of his wrist, he already had a sharp sword in his hand.
Peng Shuang shouted loudly and swept the long sword in his hand. The soldiers guarding the city on the left suddenly screamed and flew backwards, hitting the city gate and spraying blood.
The same was true on Liang Yuan's side. Under his quick attack, the rebels guarding the city on the right had no time to react and their heads were missing.
This is a long story, but actually it all happened in an instant.
Such an unexpected incident made Wu Yuan first scream, and then he shouted in a panic: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly -"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan's sword had arrived. His kung fu was different from the ancient martial arts of today, but a killing technique that focused on killing with one blow, as fast as lightning, sharp and fierce.
The sword edge grazed Wu Yuan's neck, leaving a trace of blood. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough.
As the leader of the rebels, his kung fu was actually quite good, but when he was caught off guard and faced with the joint attack of Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai, he had no power to fight back.
In an instant, he was hit by several swords.
Zhong Bai was from a well-known family and loved to associate with knights and knights. There was no doubt about his skill. Not only was his movement superb, but the sword in his hand also seemed to be alive. He was cunning and strange, making it difficult to guard against.
At the same time, the ground seemed to begin to shake, and the deafening sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.
A group of cavalry came at full speed.
