Yu Jingyang walked out of the door, stretched his waist, and was about to summon someone to ask about Liu Huai and the others last night, when he saw Qi He hurriedly come in.

When he arrived in front of Yu Jingyang, he saluted, and Qi He crossed his hands and said: "Eunuch, I was having breakfast outside when I saw General Liu." ”

Yu Jingyang just wanted to know the every move of Liu Huai and the others, listened to Qi He's words, nodded with satisfaction, paced with his hands behind his back, and said, "I am very relieved that you are so attentive." What do you see a few of them doing? ”

Qi He said: "Back to the capital prison, the little one saw them enter the steamed bun shop to eat steamed buns." - This is a trivial matter, the little one also saw that the two little ladies who were locked up with Cui Duying met General Liu in front of the bun shop, and General Liu also bought them steamed buns. ”

As soon as Yu Jingyang heard this, he turned around suddenly, looked at Qi He and said, "Can you see clearly?" Didn't people admit their mistakes? ”

Qi He said: "This kind of thing is not small, how can a small one be wrong." Knowing that this matter was important, the little one hurried back to inform the capital supervisor. ”

Yu Jingyang's face quickly became gloomy, and Qi He said, "You go back to your residence first, don't say anything to anyone!" I've got a lot of rewards afterwards! ”

Qi He thanked him and happily went to his own residence in the back. Although Yu Jingyang is tyrannical, he is as good as he is and generous to his subordinates. He said that there are many rewards today, and he will definitely benefit himself in the future.

Looking at Qi He's back, Yu Jingyang summoned the guards at the door and whispered: "Go to Liu Huai and take a look, a few of them went out and didn't come back." Also, look at what the people who entered the city yesterday are doing now, and what they look like. After reading it, come back and report it to me immediately, there must be no mistake! ”

The guard crossed his hands and walked out quickly.

Yu Jingyang returned to the house and sat down, pondered for a while, and ordered someone to summon his cronies Ruan Dutou.

Looking at Ruan Dutou standing in front of him, Yu Jingyang said in a deep voice: "Cheng Yue may not be reliable. If he comes out, none of us will survive! You gather and gather soldiers and horses, and we will go out of the city and join the Khitans! ”

Ruan Dutou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only after a while did he say: "Eunuch, why can't Cheng Tizhi be reliable?" He has a share of everything! ”

Yu Jingyang said: "When things come to an end, it is inevitable that some people will be confused!" In the past two days, I have asked him to deal with the tail of his hand, and he has already ordered that as long as he knows about it, no one is allowed to stay! Last night he came to tell me that Cui Duying was dead, and all but two of the guards, including the executioners and the servants and maidservants who lived there, had been killed! But just now, Qi He clearly saw the two little ladies locked up there and went to find Liu Huai! ”

Ruan Dutou heard this, and hurriedly said: "Dutou, this matter is true!" ”

"Of course it is! Gather your troops and horses, and we'll go out of the city!" Whatever you can take, take it all! Not for a moment! Otherwise, when Liu Huai gathers his soldiers and horses and takes us, everything will be over! ”

Ruan Dutou listened, sang a promise with his crossed hands, and walked out quickly.

Not long after, the guard who inquired about Liu Huai's news came back and crossed his hand to Yu Jingyang: "Eunuch, the little one listens clearly, Liu Huai took Zhou Su and He Sanlang, and more than a dozen followers, to have breakfast outside early this morning. Not long ago, only Zhou Su and He Sanlang came back. As soon as the two of them returned to the yamen, they gathered their men and forbade our men to enter, not knowing what they were doing. ”

Yu Jingyang sneered: "Needless to say, it must be preparing horses and guns to come and get us!" Gather all my soldiers at once, all of them are dressed, take all the finesse, and we will go out of the city!" ”

The guard said: "Metropolitan Supervisor, there are only more than 60 personal soldiers, how can you deal with more than 100 people over there?" ”

Yu Jingyang said: "Those people have their own Ruan Dutou to lead troops to deal with, you can go out of the city with me." More than 60 of you, who are closest to each other, have always shared blessings and hardships. This time we go out, and we have to rely on you together, so that we can fight for wealth! ”

The guards did not hesitate any longer, and left quickly after singing the promise, gathering Yu Jingyang's personal soldiers. This is Yu Jingyang's last capital, although it is not said that there is any blessing to share, it is indeed good to them on weekdays. With Yu Jingyang's identity, no pro-soldiers are allowed. But Tanglong Town is high and the emperor is far away, Yu Jingyang always has his own team, and the soldiers are all raised by him with his own money.

This trick is called breaking the tail to survive, and Yu Jingyang has already thought about it. The matter is urgent, kill the previous collaborators first, and cut off the tail once. If it doesn't work, then I have to give up even Cheng Yue, and if it doesn't work, then I have to don't even want Ruan Dutou and these people. As long as they can drag Liu Huai's soldiers and horses, take the last personal soldiers with them, and bring the money they have earned over the years, who can help themselves when they go out of the city. Although defecting to the Khitans did not come as happily as their own military exploits, it was a way out after all.

The entourage found a few sacks in a nearby shop, loaded Cheng Yue and the two soldiers, and carried them on their shoulders.

Liu Huai said to Peng Nan and Zheng Xiang: "There are many people in the yamen who know you, please bring a top felt hat to cover your face, so that we can go together." ”

Everything was arranged, and then he brought people to the back of the big tree, looking at the frightened Peony and Qiaoqiao, Liu Huai said: "You two don't be afraid. In Xia Liu Huai, the commander of the first battalion of the cavalry under the battalion Tianxiang Army, after being the commander, entered the city to take over the defense. I already know about the two of you, so now I will go back to the yamen with me to testify. ”

Peony said: "Testimony? What testimony? Since you are not from the city, why did you come to arrest us? ”

Liu Huai said: "I'm not here to arrest you, I'm going back to the yamen with me and being a witness." Yu Jingyang forcibly abducted women, killing people is not counted, how can the court law tolerate him? But without your witnesses, wouldn't there be many charges that would be impossible? ”

Peony said: "What is the law of the imperial court? In this Tanglong Town, I have never heard of it, isn't everything Yu Dujian has the final say? If anyone does not listen to him, it is you who come and arrest him, and beat him or kill him. I couldn't escape before, and I survived, so they let us do whatever we wanted. Now that they have escaped, who is willing to go back? It's just a death left and right, it's better to die here, and the sun shines when you die! ”

When Liu Huai heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Wearing this military uniform, it was originally to reassure the people, and I didn't want to believe it in Tanglong Town. Now the matter is urgent, but the little girl can't understand anything.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a panic, and the market was full of people. Liu Huai felt bad, no longer entangled, and said to Peony: "Since you don't believe it, I can't do it." If you have the opportunity to see you again in the future, I should tell you that there is still a bright blue sky in the world! ”

After speaking, he said to his entourage: "Suddenly there will be trouble, I'm afraid that there will be changes!" Let's go back and gather the troops! ”

Looking at the backs of the group of people leaving, Qiaoqiao whispered: "Sister, these people may not be bad people." ”

Peony said: "What if you are not a bad person? Yu Dujian has many soldiers and horses, are they all bad people? Even if there are good people in it, how can anyone ever treat us as human beings? Since we've come out this time, of course we're not going back! ”

As she spoke, tears flowed unconsciously from Peony's face.

Liu Huai, with a dozen entourage, strode onto the street and saw countless people running in a panic. Grabbing a running man, Liu Huai said loudly: "What's wrong?" Why are you running around? ”

The man said: "Yu Dujian in the yamen came out with soldiers and horses, and I heard that he was going to open the city to join the Khitan." When the Khitan soldiers enter the city, they will inevitably burn, kill, and plunder, where is there still a way to live? I just hope to follow them, to be able to escape from the city, and have a way to live! ”

Liu Huai said: "How do you know that Yu Dujian wants to surrender to the enemy? ”

"There is already a sound of killing inside the yamen, and I heard that the reinforcements who entered the city yesterday are being attacked! Hero, I have an old mother and a wife below, let me live! Pack up some softness and be able to escape. The Khitans not only robbed money, but also killed the old and weak, and the others were also taken captive as slaves and maids! ”

Liu Huai listened, let the man go, looked at the chaos in the city, heard the sound of horses' hooves, and said to his entourage: "The matter has come to this, let's go guard the city gate!" As long as the city is not broken and the Khitans cannot enter, everything will eventually be redeemed! We have been ordered to enter this city, and we have met a traitor, and what more can we say! Only one dies, guards the city, lives up to the promotion, and lives up to the court! ”

The entourage sang a promise together, followed Liu Huai, and ran quickly towards the city gate.

As a military city, the yamen is the last line of defense, and the city gate is open on the opposite side of the yamen. Not long after, Liu Huai and others rushed to the city gate before Yu Jingyang and others. At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city had already seen the chaos in the city, and there were also Yu Jingyang's accomplices, and some were just on orders, and they were in chaos for a while.

Liu Huai arrived at the city gate, took out his waist knife and put it on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Fenghedong's deputy economic envoy and Guan Gou Liuzhou soldiers and horses are waiting for orders, and Liu Huai, the cavalry commander, is ordered to defend the city!" Liu Huai is here, who dares to make trouble! ”
