At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Jiang Jizhou patted Xie Zhushu's hand and said, "This is called losing the fight but not the battle."

After saying that, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he looked at Xu An with sharp eyes without fear.

People like them, who were born into wealthy families, are somewhat arrogant and hate provocation the most.

Haste leads to loss, anger leads to lack of wisdom.

Don't expect Xu An to turn into a fool all of a sudden, but it would be good if there was a flaw to delay time for a while.

While the two were fighting with each other's eyes, Xie Mingli, holding Tang Heng, gave a few glances to the people behind him.

Xu An sneered twice, raised his voice and changed the subject.

"If I am a thief, then who are you, Jiang Jizhou?"

"At that time, Sunjong was in his prime, but he suddenly died of illness. Even a three-year-old child would not believe that there was no trick!"

"You acknowledge the thief who usurped the throne as your father and work for him. Aren't you... my son?"

Kill two birds with one stone!

Not only did he return the Yin and Yang, but he also told the people around him that your majesty's ancestors did not come to the throne in a legitimate way.

But more than 80 years have passed, who knows whether Sunjong died of illness or for some other reason...

However, Jiang Jizhou was once the most talented man in Yangzhou, so it was not difficult for him to fight back.

You go back and forth and I engage in a verbal battle.

Xie Mingli keenly caught the moment when Xu An was angry and raised his hand.

The crowd rushed forward, pushing down various wooden frames and small stone pillars on the roadside, turning the good road into a mess.

"withdraw--"

Following Xie Mingli's order, the young officials, Liang's army and the people all went to the surrounding alleys.

The enemy is numerous and we are few, or it is infantry versus cavalry. Only a fool would fight against them.

Xu An originally thought that Jiang Jizhou, that bastard, was just trying to provoke him by quarreling with him.

In fact, they were preparing for a surprise attack and taking the initiative.

But who knew...it was actually one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems - the Position Stratagem.

Being teased, Xu An's face was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Chase!"

The rebels were unmoved after hearing this. Instead, they scratched their heads and asked, "Sir, which way should we go?"

The road ahead is blocked.

As for chasing into the alley, the terrain is narrow and disadvantageous for cavalry, which is tantamount to suicide.

They had always been in the southwest of Yizhou and had never been to Shangjing!

As for the map of Shangjing, they couldn't get access to it either...

Xu An was already furious, and when he heard the questions from his idiot subordinates, he became even more angry and clenched his fists, making crackling sounds.

Why can Xie Mingli and others act in unison without saying a word?

These idiots under him don't even know the way!

Even though he was angry, he could not act on impulse at such a critical moment and scold his subordinates.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger, turn his horse around, and lead the idiots to chase north along another road.

Xie Mingli and others followed the people of Guiyifang and went to remote places.

Although it took some time to take a detour, we did not encounter any rebels until we got close to Guiyifang and the north wall of Guiyifang.

Xie Zhushu stepped on the shoulders of the two men, climbed onto the top of the wall, and looked outside. All those coming and going outside were rebels.

He shook his head silently, signaling the two men to let him go.

After standing still, Xie Zhushu sighed, "I used to think that the streets in the capital were clearly divided and beautiful, but now..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard the crying of women and children outside.

Everyone was stunned. The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple covered his injured left hand and frowned, saying, "Weren't the women and children taken to the Imperial City two days ago?"

No one answered his question. At the same time, Xie Zhushu stepped on his colleague's shoulder again.

There's nothing I can do about it, since he's the youngest and the lightest...

Among the rebels coming and going, at the gate diagonally opposite, several rebels were molesting the captured women.

On the opposite wall, there was also a hairy head, and it was Xie Ruguang.

The two of them looked at each other in mid-air, and both were startled, "Why are you here?"

'Where's my sister?'

Xie Zhushu asked silently. Unfortunately, Xie Ruguang didn't learn lip reading...

Moreover, due to years of embroidery, my eyesight is not very good, so being able to see people's faces clearly is already very good.

Lip shape? What is that? I can’t see it clearly!

Xie Zhushu gestured, signaling Xie Ruguang to retract his head, and he also let someone put him down again.

Witnessing his previous actions, Xie Mingli lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zhushu pursed his lips and spoke with a sad face.

"Ruguang is in the opposite block. I guess Ruyue and Ruxing are also there, and maybe even my sister is too..."

They were all pretty girls, and he didn't dare to think about what if they were discovered by the rebels.

Although I was always beaten by my sister when I was a child, my mother said that as a man, it is natural to protect my sister!

Jiang Jizhou, who was standing next to him, pursed his lips when he heard this, and said firmly, "I will go and lead the rebels away, and Xie Shaoqing will find a chance to join them."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and started to leave.

At this moment, flares exploded one after another in the sky above the east of the city.

The yellow smoke continued to rise and could be seen almost everywhere in Kyoto.

The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple was delighted, "Reinforcements, they must have arrived!"

The sun in the east was blinding, and the man in green was forced to squint his eyes. "Huang Yan... Princess."

"Let's take a look first and find a chance to act later." Xie Mingli stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Jizhou.

His voice was gentle, but full of leniency, "Besides, Ruguang and the others are my Xie family sisters, and someone needs to lead the rebels away."

"It is also the most suitable for me to be your brother."

This is not directed at Jiang Jizhou, but no matter from which angle, Jiang Jizhou is not suitable.

He has feelings for Yunhua. If something happens while luring away the rebels...

The Xie family owed money to the Jiang family of Yangzhou.

Hearing the implication of Xie Mingli's words and seeing Jiang Jizhou's somewhat embarrassed expression, the Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple laughed and said:

"Hahaha, I say you two are the same, you're vying to die."

Xie Mingli, Jiang Jizhou: "..."

On how to offend two people at the same time with one sentence.

The official next to You Shaoqing twitched his mouth.

"Brother, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up. We have been colleagues for many years and we will not treat you as a mute."

For a moment, everyone couldn't help laughing, and it was a way to find joy in suffering.

At this time, Dongcheng District.

Chu Zhen led nearly 10,000 cavalrymen and rode in, among them was Xie Mingcheng.

Xu Lu, who was helping a lame aunt towards the imperial city, suddenly brightened up and waved his hands towards Xie Mingcheng.

"Mingcheng, your elder brother and a group of colleagues are in the west of the city—"

The cavalry roared past, leaving behind a cloud of dust that covered Xu Lu's face.

The clay figurine Xu Lu, like a clay sculpture, stood blankly on the roadside, with an old lady lying on the ground next to him.

"Cough cough cough..."

After a while of coughing violently, Xu Lu sighed helplessly, not knowing whether Xie Mingcheng heard it.

Resigned to his fate, he pulled the confused old lady up from the ground, put his arm around her, and continued walking towards the imperial city, taking one step forward and one step back.

He was originally with Xie Mingli and others yesterday, but was transferred to move military equipment. He only had time to go out when daybreak approached...
