C16 What If the Black and White Reverses Nai
Gongsun Xu turned around and sprinted with his men. Soon, they arrived at the residential area near the county magistrate's office. Someone had already rushed in long ago to bring out the warhorse. When Yan Rou led the cavalry soldiers to push their way through the crowd, Gongsun Xu and his men had already mounted their respective horses. He took the lead and charged towards Yan Rou with his spear raised.
In the blink of an eye, the short distance of dozens of steps had been covered. Gongsun Xu's long spear pierced towards Yan Rou's chest, and Yan Rou raised her blade high into the air. The moment the two weapons clashed, there was a loud sound, as if a bell had been rung on the ground. The sound only caused the surrounding people's ears to buzz.
"Kill!" Yan Rou shouted sinisterly and slashed at Gongsun Xu's shoulder.
Gongsun Xu returned the shot with his hand and stabbed towards Yan Rou's right chest. Yan Rou quickly dodged to the side and attacked with her knife. The two fought back and forth, clashing and clashing on the narrow street. Bladelight and spear shadows covered dozens of feet, making it impossible for others to even take half a step closer.
After a dozen or so rounds, Gongsun Xu suddenly changed his marksmanship. He was like a snake spitting out its tongue, and like a dragonfly touching the water, the tip of his spear blossomed with plum blossoms, forcing Yan Rou to retreat.
Gongsun Jia and the rest cheered excitedly, while the men in black and Yan Rou's underlings exclaimed in surprise. They never thought that Officer Yan, who was of outstanding martial arts skills, would be no match for Gongsun Xu!
With a flick of his wrist, Gongsun Xu shot seven times in quick succession, forcing Yan Rou to keep up her guard at the corners of the room. Gongsun Xu took the opportunity to turn his horse and whistle as he galloped towards the county magistrate. Gongsun Jia and his men also turned their horses around and followed behind him.
Yan Rou exclaimed, "Not good! Gongsun kid wanted to hurt Young Master Liu! "My sons, quickly rush over to save Young Master Liu!"
"Kill!" The sounds of hooves trampling and killing shook the sky as they charged straight at Gongsun Xu.
Gongsun Xu rushed to the door of the county magistrate's office. When he turned around and saw Yan Rou leading her men and chasing after him, he shouted, "Please spare Liu He! Follow me out of the city! "Yan Rou, my child, I swear to kill you!" Then, he put his spear on the horse and rushed towards the west side of the city.
"You guys go chase after him, I'll go check on Young Master Liu!" Yan Rou shouted and galloped into the county magistrate's office.
Hundreds of riders turned their horses around and followed behind Gongsun Xu.
Gongsun Xu suddenly took off the longbow on his back. He turned his head back and looked at the moon as he released a series of arrows. The arrows were not missed and instantly killed more than a dozen people. Everyone else became depressed and didn't dare to continue chasing. They helplessly watched as Gongsun Xu and his group disappeared around the corner of the street.
After a while, Yan Rou walked out with a person tied to her back. This person's hair was disheveled, and his face was tightly wrapped in a white cloth. Only his mouth and nose were exposed, and traces of blood could be seen on the white cloth. It was still seeping out.
Yan Rou shouted, "Young Master Liu, faint from severe injuries! Gongsun Xu has already sent people to the military camp. To prevent any changes, we will immediately go to the military camp to control the situation! "
"Here!" They all agreed to help Yan Rou up the horses and headed straight for the barracks.
Gongsun Xu and his group headed straight for the west gate. Most of the army forces in the city were in military camps, and there were less than a hundred soldiers guarding the city gate. Seeing a squadron of cavalrymen aggressively charging towards them, these people scattered in a crowd, showing no signs of resisting.
Gongsun Jia opened the city gate with his men, and they quickly left the city and disappeared in the moonlight.
After a long while, the soldiers guarding the gate came closer. After discovering that there was no danger, they quickly closed the gate. One of them asked, "Commander, what should we do now?"
"How would I know?" The village head frowned and muttered to himself, "Niu Sanhu, go to the county magistrate and report this to Young Master Liu He."
"Here!" A burly man turned around and ran towards the county magistrate.
The village chief turned his head and looked toward the northeast as he murmured, "Tonight, the whole town has been thrown into chaos, but the tens of thousands of men in the military camp has not moved at all. This is really strange!"
Yan Rou's group was spotted by the sentry on the watchtower just as they arrived outside the camp. The sentry shouted, "Men, halt or else the arrows will come!"
Yan Rou shouted, "I am Yan Rou! Is Zhao Yun still in the camp? "
"It's really Officer Yan! "To report to Sima, Zhao Yun just left the barracks with his men, claiming that he's going to the county magistrate court to kill bandits."
"Huh?" Yan Rou was stunned, and shouted angrily: "That thief sure runs fast! "Hurry and open the camp door, Young Master Liu He needs to be treated for his injuries."
Startled, the sentry hurried down the tower and opened the gate.
When Yan Rou ran in, she asked anxiously, "Where is the job?"
The sentry was stunned, "You don't like doing things? This little one has not seen it! "
"Forget it!" Hurry and find a doctor, and get Wei Dun, Wang Wei, and Wu Tie to hurry over to the Commander's Tent. " Yan Rou threw down her words and urged her horse towards the camp.
"This is great news!" In the camp of cavalry of Xianbei, Xianyu Fu said happily as he watched Yan Rou carrying Liu He into the camp.
Tan Mucong cupped his hands beside him: "Congratulations! The King will definitely bestow you with a lot of rewards, and in the future, you will also receive even more importance! "
Xianyu Fu smiled proudly: "Our friendship has always been deep, we have to continue helping each other in the future!"
"Definitely! Ha ha, are you going over now? "
"Wait a moment." Xianyu Fu shook his head as if everything was under control, "Yan Rou seems to have done something heavy, then Liu He won't wake up anytime soon. We don't need to worry, we don't want to arouse the suspicion of Wu Tie and the others."
"Alright. It should be time to send someone to signal the King, right? "
"Alright, I'll send someone to send the signal over to the North Gate right away."
After about one incense stick of time, Xianyu Fu rushed into the tent. As soon as he saw Liu He, who was still in a daze, he burst into tears.
The wound on Liu He's head was treated and bandaged with a brand-new white cloth. His head was wrapped like a dumpling and the strong smell of the Golden Sore Medicine assaulted his nose.
Wei Dun asked coldly: "Where did you go just now? Do you know that Young Master Liu was almost killed by Gongsun Xu? "
"I've just found out about this as well." Xianyu Fu wiped off his red eyes and glanced at Yan Rou, obtaining some confirmation from her eyes. He sighed heavily, "General Wei did not know that Gongsun kid was so crafty that he wanted to pin the crime of conspiring against Young Master Liu onto our shoulders. He actually sent his men to attack my manor. Unfortunately, Xianyu Yin was killed by Gongsun Xu! "
"We have yet to leave the army camp, who knows if your words are true or false? That Zhao Yun said that the county magistrate had sent an assassin from the Xianbei People, and that Brother Ru had sent him! " Wei Dun frowned as he asked Yan Rou, "Who is lying?"
Xianyu Fu complained repeatedly with a look of wronged loyalty.
"Not much more than doing what is said, exactly." Yan Rou nodded her head in confirmation and said thoughtfully, "When I led my men there, I discovered that the doors of the mansion were smashed open by someone, and the ground was covered with blood and arrows. As for that Zhao Yun, he escaped just now, I think he knows that the matter has been exposed. "
Wei Dun sighed and cupped his hands towards Xianyu Fu, "Young master is unconscious from severe injury, my heart is burning with anxiety, and I can't help but speak inappropriately. Please forgive me."
"No worries!" "No worries!" Xianyu Fu waved his hand. Looking at the unconscious Liu He, he asked with a sad face, "What did the doctor say?"
"It's hard to wake up in three or five days." Yan Rou shook her head sadly, took a deep breath and asked, "Everyone, what should we do now?"
Wei Dun pondered and said, "Why don't we retreat to the east of the Liao River and send people to contact Yuan Shao. We can only wait for the right time to kill our way back!"
"You can't!" Wang Wei immediately objected as he waved his arm and shouted, "I need to support the wolf's ambition and fear Gongsun Zan the most. If we go to their territory, Gongsun Zan will only need a letter to kill us all!"
Yang Hong nodded his head: "I agree with Wang Wu Tie's words, why not join Yuan Shao, the so-called 'We will win for sure', 'The Yanshan's Yellow Mask' will definitely not be able to stop us from heading south."
Yan Rou frowned and asked, "What if we head south? What should we do with Lord Liu's family?" Gongsun Zan will definitely kill them to vent his anger! "
"Everyone, can you listen to me?" Xianyu Fu couldn't help but be anxious and opened his mouth.
They cupped their hands and said: "Please do not be so formal."
Xianyu Fu coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Everyone knows that Lord Liu and King Qiu Liju have a deep friendship, and Young Master Liu is very familiar with the King. Why don't we lead the army and join the army? King Qiu Liju is powerful and robust. With my help, there will be a day when troops will come to the Youzhou and Gongsun Zan will be forced to release Lord Liu! "
"Well said!" Yang Hong was the first to agree.
Wei Dun sneered, "It's not much of a job to do, isn't that a little selfish?"
"I don't need to hide it either. I am indeed selfish. If I can bring these tens of thousands of people to King Qiu Liju's side, my future in front of him will be limitless. " Xianyu Fu nodded his head in acknowledgement and cupped his hands, "But I have received kindness from Master Liu, and am mostly thinking for his family. Only in this way can I save Sir Liu! Everyone, think carefully, is there a better way to go? "
Wei Dun tilted his head and asked Yan Rou, "What do you think about Officer Yan?"
Yan Rou spoke with determination, "Lord Liu is extremely grateful to me. If I can save you, I would not even care if my body would be smashed to smithereens. Not to mention, I would only seek refuge with King Qiu Liju!" In the future, if we end up attracting the wrath of all of you, it will definitely not affect your reputation! "
"Since that's the case," sighed Wei Dun, "let's do it like this! "Yang Hong, go beat the drum and gather the soldiers on the main field."
"Here!" Yang Hong saluted and walked out.
"Why isn't anyone asking for my opinion?" Wang Wei asked in a daze.
Wei Dun grinned: "Your opinion? "What's the difference?"
"That's true, I'll go help Yang Hong." Wu Tie scratched his head and walked outside. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head and called out, "General Wei, how dare you underestimate me?"
Wei Dun waved his hand without minding at all. "Hurry up and help!"
Wang Wei rolled his eyes, snorted and pushed the curtain aside as he walked out.
Yan Rou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Gongsun Xu's follower Zhao Yun escaped, do you want to send people to search him?"
"It's just a small fish, don't mind it." Wei Dun shook his head and said solemnly: "Officer Yan, I will leave Young Master Liu to you. You must ensure that young master's body is not harmed."
"General Wei, please be at ease. I will find a comfortable carriage for you to ride in."
Dong! Dong, dong, dong! Dong dong dong dong dong. At this moment, the general gathering drum was sounded outside.
Wei Dun extended his hand and invited him, "It's rare for us to engage in such things. Let's explain it to the officers and soldiers together."
"It's better to obey than to be respectful, please!" Xianyu Fu smiled, his heart was filled with ecstasy.
An hour later, forty thousand men left the city and headed northwest.
Xianyu Fu took over the command from the cavalry of Xianbei, and acted as the vanguard to clear the way.
Yan Rou was escorting Liu He in a carriage, moving slowly in the middle army. Wei Dun was in charge of the front army, while Wang Wei and Yang Hong were in charge of the back army.
After the large number of people had left, it was 8.8%. Nine Knights suddenly emerged from behind a dilapidated residential area. They were Zhao Yun and Gongsun Yi, who were all wearing masks. They ran out of the gate and followed the torchlight.
At the same time, in the dense forest more than ten miles west of the city, Gongsun Xu and his group rushed out, following the light of the torches in pursuit.
