People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse
Chapter 688: Battle of the Capital (11)
"Run!"
When the ministers around Zhao Ji saw the rebels chasing them, they shouted in fear.
Zhao Ji no longer cared about anyone else and just hoped he could escape.
Behind them, Marquis An Zhen came on horseback, rushed into the army, and with a swing of his sword, he killed two imperial guards.
These imperial guards had lost their courage long ago and fled, abandoning their weapons and armor.
"Chase!"
Seeing that Zhao Ji had left the main force behind and fled alone, Anzhen Hou shouted loudly.
As long as Zhao Ji is dealt with, the Song Dynasty will be within reach.
Seeing that the imperial guards were so vulnerable, the rebels under Marquis An Zhen began to hunt them down frantically. The number of imperial guards around Zhao Ji became fewer and fewer, until there were only about 200 guards protecting Zhao Ji as he fled to the deserted mountains.
When Marquis An Zhen was about to lead his men in pursuit, he discovered that his men were frantically scrambling for the property on the ground, all of which were brought by these ministers.
Marquis An Zhen was furious when he saw this scene. Now was the best time to hunt down Zhao Ji, and he couldn't let these properties ruin his plan.
He immediately rode over and slashed his sword to kill three soldiers who were fighting over the property. Seeing this, the other soldiers were so scared that they stopped fighting.
Marquis Anzhen glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "The great cause has not yet been accomplished. How can we let some money sway the army? If anyone fights for it again, I will kill him."
The soldiers put down the money in their hands. Marquis An Zhen was satisfied and continued to lead his troops in pursuit.
Zhao Ji did not dare to stay and only left a few guards in the barren mountains to intercept the rebels, while he continued to escape.
However, when the imperial guards he left behind saw that Zhao Ji had abandoned them, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The government has given up on us. If we stay here, we will die."
"Yes, the rebels are coming with great force, and we can't stop them at all."
"Otherwise, let's just run away."
The imperial guards looked at each other, then scattered and fled everywhere. Even the emperor was running for his life, so it was obvious that the court was finished, so why bother playing with their lives?
Marquis An Zhen did not pursue these stragglers, but continued to pursue Zhao Ji.
He quickly caught up with Zhao Ji and burst into laughter.
Zhao Ji was so frightened by his smile that he fell off his horse. Cai Jing quickly helped Zhao Ji up.
As soon as Zhao Ji got on his horse, An Zhenhou caught up with him and surrounded them.
Zhao Ji looked at An Zhenhou and shouted in a trembling voice: "An Zhenhou, you... want to kill the king?"
"Haha, regicide? Your Majesty, I am not committing regicide. I am trying to support the country of the Song Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Marquis An Zhen burst into laughter.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors."
Zhao Ji was so angry that he was shaking.
"Humph, what a traitor, we are all surnamed Song, we are all royal family, we are all descendants of Emperor Taizong. Since you can't manage the Song Dynasty, why don't you give it up and let my father take the throne."
Marquis An Zhen felt even happier when he saw Zhao Ji, who was trembling with fear.
"You and your son have evil ambitions, and no one in the world will recognize that."
Zhao Ji said angrily.
Marquis An Zhen sneered and said, "As long as my father ascends the throne, they will have to acknowledge him even if they don't want to. You don't really think that the officials of this world will go against the new dynasty for a fool like you, do you?"
"you……"
Zhao Ji was speechless. If King Zuo Wu really ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the capital, people all over the world would probably recognize it.
Marquis An Zhen laughed triumphantly and said, "My lord, as long as you agree to abdicate the throne to my father, I will guarantee that you will not be killed, considering that you are from the same clan."
Zhao Ji was somewhat tempted when he heard this. Now they had no way of escaping, and if they wanted to survive they could only abdicate the throne.
However, at this time Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, don't trust him. After they get the throne, they will definitely get rid of you."
When Zhao Ji heard what Cai Jing said, his face suddenly changed. He thought to himself, yes, although he had abdicated the throne, he was still the former emperor after all, and was always a huge threat to King Zuo Wu and his son. They could let anyone go, but they would never let him go.
"Prime Minister Cai, but our current situation..."
Zhao Ji said with a pale face.
Cai Jing consoled him: "Butler, you forgot that we still have Eunuch Hong here."
When Zhao Ji heard this, his eyes lit up. He really was getting old and confused. How could he have forgotten about Eunuch Hong who was beside him?
This eunuch Hong is the favorite disciple of Patriarch Kuihua, and one of the two great masters left behind by Patriarch Kuihua to protect Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji looked at Eunuch Hong and said excitedly: "Eunuch Hong, I rely on you here."
Eunuch Hong nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. We are here. They can't hurt you."
"Official, hurry up."
Cai Jing immediately pulled Zhao Ji onto the horse and quickly left.
Of course, Marquis An Zhen would not let Zhao Ji go so easily. He immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Ji.
"You dare!"
Eunuch Hong moved, like a ghostly figure, and grabbed the arrow with his hand.
"Go on, kill him!"
At Marquis An Zhen's command, the rebels immediately rushed forward, waving their weapons.
However, these rebels couldn't even get close to Eunuch Hong and were dealt with by him with one move.
Marquis An Zhen was shocked when he saw this and was extremely horrified. He did not expect that there was such a powerful person beside Zhao Ji.
"Everyone come together, he's alone, can't we take him down with so many of us?"
Of course, Marquis An Zhen would not retreat just like that. This was the best opportunity to kill Zhao Ji. Even with the presence of a grandmaster, he would not retreat.
All of a sudden, all the masters under his command rushed forward. No matter how strong the grandmaster was, he could still be killed by the sheer number of people.
Zhao Ji and his companions rode a long way before stopping to rest.
"Have they caught up?"
Zhao Ji asked in panic.
Cai Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Eunuch Hong is a great master. Although Marquis An Zhen and his men have many people, they can't catch up with them in a short time."
After hearing what Cai Jing said, Zhao Ji finally felt relieved. He took the water bag from a guard, drank two sips of water, and said angrily: "When I am safe, I will issue an imperial decree to call on the people of the world to serve the king. I will cut the Zuo Wu Wang and his son into pieces."
Cai Jing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your Excellency. I will definitely escort you to safety."
Zhao Ji rested for a while and then continued on his journey.
We ran quickly all the way and soon entered the desolate mountains and wilderness.
At this moment, Concubine Wei suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked Zhao Ji's way.
"Lady Wei——"
When Zhao Ji saw Concubine Wei blocking his way, his face suddenly changed.
He remembered that Concubine Wei had always wanted to absorb the dragon energy from him.
"What's wrong with the emperor? It's been such a long time since we last met, and the emperor has become so embarrassed."
Concubine Wei looked at Zhao Ji's disheveled appearance and couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty, what is the noble lady Wei doing..."
Cai Jing asked.
"I don't know where this bitch learned such vicious skills, and she actually wanted to harm me."
Zhao Ji snorted coldly.
