I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Tang Hu, with a red flag on his waist, trotted after Commander Zhao and walked up the mountain nervously.

.......

Zong Gaofei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rain of arrows finally stop.

Even though his whole body was in pain from being burned by the stones, he did not dare to get up from the ground, for fear that the arrows would shoot at him again as soon as he stood up.

He turned his head to look around and saw that many of his brothers were already dead with their eyes wide open, and many were covering the places where they were shot by arrows, wailing in pain.

This time, they suffered heavy losses.

Zong Gaofei sat there and took deep breaths, trying his best to calm his fear. He stretched out his trembling hand and felt Du Tianli's breath.

After feeling Du Tianli's faint breath, Zong Gaofei suddenly didn't dare to turn Du Tianli over casually.

Du Tianli had two arrows stuck in his body, and it would be easy to kill him with just a flip like that.

So many brothers had died. Even though he hated Du Tianli for being reckless and harming so many brothers, he didn't want Du Tianli to die at this moment.

Just when Zong Gaofei breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a burst of dense footsteps coming closer and closer.

Zong Gaofei's pupils trembled, and he closed his eyes in panic and trembling, and immediately held his breath, making himself look like dead.

It’s over, it’s over. The Xiao family’s private soldiers must not make the final move.

God bless him, he is still so young, he doesn't want to die.

If it really doesn't work, he can surrender.

As long as the Xiao family's private soldiers are willing, he can join the Xiao family's private soldiers, as long as he is spared...

Zong Gaofei was so frightened when he heard the footsteps stop near him that he didn't even dare to open his eyes and begged for mercy.

"Don't---don't kill me, spare my life---"

"Zong Gaofei!?"

Zhao Cheng suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked over in shock.

He saw at first glance that the man lying on the ground with a mouth full of blood looked very much like Zong Gaofei.

When he took another look at the man wearing the uniform of a second-class imperial guard lying on Zong Gaofei, Zhao Cheng suddenly became furious.

This guy was shooting for a long time, but all he shot were his own people.

When Zong Gaofei heard Commander Zhao's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked over excitedly.

"Commander Zhao, help us! My brothers were ambushed by the Xiao family's private soldiers. Almost all of them were wiped out. Woohoo!"

As Zong Gaofei spoke, his voice began to choke up, and tears suddenly burst out of his manly body, as if he had survived a calamity.

Damn, luckily Commander Zhao shouted quickly.

If he was any slower, he would have said "I am willing to join the Xiao family's private army."

After going through so many ups and downs, Zong Gaofei fainted from excitement after saying this.

Two seconds later, Zong Gaofei's snoring suddenly sounded, dumbfounding the eunuch guards who followed Zhao Cheng up.

After hearing what Zong Gaofei said, Tang Hu's knees were shaking so much that he could hardly stand up straight.

Damn it, he actually got it wrong.

Looking at his dead brothers on the ground, Tang Hu wished he were hit by two arrows.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Cheng. The sweat on his body was like rain, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

Zhao Cheng's face was darker than the bottom of a pot. Looking at his men lying on the ground and wailing in pain, his eyes almost spit fire.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Hu, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he wanted to chop him directly.

The sight of all the injured and dead being his own people had frightened Tang Hu silly.

Feeling that Zhao Cheng was looking at him, he dared not look up.

"This is the Xiao family you mentioned? Huh!?"

"Open your dog eyes and see who the hell you're ambushing."

Zhao Cheng angrily grabbed Tang Hu and pried open his eyes with both hands, forcing him to look at his brothers who had died tragically.

Look who you killed.

(Look, you look)

Tang Hu's eyes were scratched by Zhao Cheng, and he dared not resist, so he could only beg for mercy.

"Please, please spare my life. What I saw was indeed the private property of the Xiao family..."

"It's your mother!" Zhao Cheng interrupted Tang Hu, spitting saliva, "You still dare to argue when you are about to die. Go back and argue with the emperor."

"Come here, escort Tang Hu back to Beijing immediately."

Zhao Cheng looked at Tang Hu with sharp eyes, wishing he could kill him on the spot.

Not even a single member of the Xiao family was captured, and so many imperial guards were killed. How could he explain this to Emperor Wu of Liang?

Since this incident was caused by Tang Hu, he should bear the wrath of Emperor Wu of Liang.

He still has to wait for the Xiao family here.

"Commander Zhao, spare my life, please give me a chance to make amends, please..."

"Your subordinate --- your subordinate saw it clearly at that time, please,..."

Tang Hu fell to his knees and begged for mercy crying.

He looked up and met Zhao Cheng's sharp eyes, and fear instantly surged into Tang Hu's heart.

It was obvious that Commander Zhao agreed when the arrows were shot, so why should he be blamed alone now?

Tang Hu only dared to think about this sentence in his heart and dared not say it out loud no matter what.

If he said this, it would mean that his head would return to Beijing, but his body would remain in the mountains.

Tang Hu swallowed nervously, his whole body trembling and his face pale.

Zhao Cheng looked at Tang Hu coldly, then waved his hand and had someone drag Tang Hu away.

Tang Hu knew that Zhao Cheng would not let him go, so he collapsed to the ground and was dragged away like a puddle of mud.

His mistake caused the deaths of so many people, he was afraid he wouldn't survive.

Zhao Cheng looked at the distraught Tang Hu and curled the corners of his lips in disdain.

He turned to look at his injured subordinate on the ground, and his heart was suddenly filled with anger.

"What are you all standing there for? Don't you see so many injured people? Why don't you quickly carry them to Dongmen City for treatment?"

"Everyone, be careful..."

The dumbfounded palace guards finally reacted and immediately ran over to test the wounded's breathing and carried the injured down the mountain.

Zhao Cheng frowned and looked at the mountain, his mind in a mess.

Did Du Tianli and his men catch up with the Xiao family?

Why were Du Tianli and his group the first to come down? Where were the Xiao family members?

Just when Zhao Cheng was puzzled and puzzled, a rustling sound came from the grass next to him.

Zhao Cheng's eyes darkened, and he gently drew out his sword and walked towards the bushes beside him.

Jiang Xu vaguely saw the palace guards serving, and after observing for a while, he saw that they were carrying the wounded.

He was so excited that as soon as he popped his head out, he saw a sharp sword coming towards him.

Jiang Xu was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He squatted and rolled on the ground, and shouted,

"It's one of our own!"

"It's me, Jiang Xu..."

Jiang Xu lay on the ground and quickly introduced himself, fearing that he would be killed by a sword.

He was exhausted now, and he had already used up all his strength to dodge the sword.

Sang Dasheng and a few others hid in the bushes behind Jiang Xu, trembling in fear. They didn't dare to even fart, for fear that they would be killed instantly if they made a sound.
