Three thousand miles in exile

The garrison of the west gate and the garrison of the east gate led by Xu Jingyan met on the central street.

"But the reinforcements are coming together again?" Xu Jingyan asked happily without knowing the inside story.

"Fire the arrows!" The general at the west gate ordered to do it without hesitation.

Arrows flew all of a sudden.

Now there is something Xu Jingyan doesn't understand.

"You turned to the enemy! How can you be worthy of Fang Da Sima Zaitian's spirit!" Xu Jingyan was furious. "Give it to me!!"

The two sides rushed to fight on Zhongyang Street. These soldiers were from the imperial army camp, wearing the same armor and holding the same weapons. The only difference was that the people who raised the incident in the Emperor's Mansion were all wearing yellow belts on their left hands, implying to defend the imperial power.

This is also the method Zhao Hengfu came up with, he didn't want today's events to be fabricated by someone with a heart to rebel against him, so he thought of wearing a yellow belt to show his position.

Xu Jingyan was extremely anxious, the opponent had twice as many people as him, and they were about to be encircled.

At this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes stamping behind him.

But Xu Jingyan was very surprised when he saw that the person was wearing iron-gray armor uniformly and holding a strange long knife in his hand. The other person also had a yellow belt on his left hand!

"It's reinforcements!"

The other party didn't answer where they came from. Cao Ming and Guo Donghu took the lead and led Mo Dao Shou to rush into the melee crowd without stopping for a moment, cut off one person with one strike, and completely overwhelmingly quickly harvested the battlefield.

It didn't hurt to have arrows fall on the armor. The scene that once made the Yan army's cavalry tremble was staged on the central street of the imperial capital.

Xu Jingyan was dumbfounded.

Where did these dead men come from so terrifying!

Liu Zhan led Song Fenglin to follow unhurriedly to Xu Jingyan, and Zheng Fengtian followed closely behind with the remaining [-] cavalry.

"Excuse me, is this general the son of Sima Xu?" Song Fenglin cupped his hands.

Xu Jingyan reacted quickly and bowed his hand in return. "Exactly, this is Xu Jingyan, may I ask who you are?"

"Xiaosheng is a disciple passed on by the emperor." Song Fenglin didn't say much.

Xu Jingyan suddenly realized. "So that's it, disrespect and disrespect, these are your dead men."

"The Imperial Master's Mansion was attacked, and we are rushing to rescue it." The soft armor on Song Fenglin's body was made of iron wire, which was exquisite and uncommon. Coupled with his overall demeanor, no one would doubt his identity.

In the imperial capital, Liu Zhan couldn't come forward, Song Fenglin, as a disciple of the emperor's teacher, was perfect for hosting.

Xu Jingyan noticed Liu Zhan next to Song Fenglin again, his aura was so captivating that it was hard to ignore him.

"This one again?"

"It's just Mr.'s bodyguard." Liu Zhan said concisely.

Because of the joining of the Modao cavalry, the soldiers at the two city gates in the southwest ran away when they saw that the enemy was completely incapable.

These young soldiers who have never seen blood, most of them rely on their connections to find idle errands in the camp. If they really want to die, they can run faster than rabbits.

"Mr. Qi, the leader of the thief has been captured." Guo Donghu led people to escort the general of the west city gate up.

The general was already trembling, his face was ashes, and he regretted that he should not have been encouraged by Zhou Chan, but it was too late for him to regret it.

"Very good." Song Fenglin's eyes were cold, and he cupped his hands towards Xu Jingyan. "I also ask General Xu to take people to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately. Don't let that old thief Zhou Chan escape. I will rush to help the Emperor's Mansion first."

Although Song Fenglin was also worried about the situation in the prime minister's mansion, Zhao Hengfu's safety was more important.

Xu Jingyan agreed immediately, not daring to be negligent, and immediately gathered his people to meet Zhao Jizhang at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At that time, half of the Emperor's Mansion was shrouded in flames.

Nearly two thousand thugs composed of hooligans and ruffians besieged the Emperor's Mansion, poured kerosene in and set it ablaze, and looted everywhere.

The servants and guards in the Imperial Master's Mansion rose up to resist, but the opponent was so numerous that they could only protect the Zhao family and retreat to the backyard.

When Liu Zhan led his personal guards to the Emperor's Mansion, thugs surrounded the Emperor's Mansion and blocked the front door and the back door so that no one could get out.

"Get in through the back door!" Liu Zhan's face was frosty.

The Modao cavalry came down like a god of killing. Those mobs were no match for them. They beheaded more than a hundred people in just one encounter. The fierce aura shocked these hooligans, and many of them turned their heads and ran away.

The fire hadn't spread to the backyard yet, but a killer in black fell from the sky.

The guardian of the Imperial Master's Mansion was fighting with a large number of men in black and was about to lose. At this time, the Modao cavalry rushed in through the back door, and when they went up, they cut off the head of the man in black with a single knife.

"Where is the Emperor Master! I am the Emperor Master's disciple." Song Fenglin stabilized the shocked guard in due time.

"It's, it's behind the corridor." A nurse immediately led the way.

Many people in black surrounded the backyard where everyone in the Emperor's Mansion was hiding, and were setting fire everywhere. When Liu Zhan and the others arrived, the situation was already very critical.

"Go and fight the fire!" Liu Zhan yelled at the nursing homes.

The man in black was quickly defeated, and was also shocked by the power of Mo Dao, and the remaining remnants fled one after another.

The nurses carried water and extinguished the fire, and quickly stabilized the fire.

Liu Zhan led someone to kick open the gate of the courtyard. Zhao Hengfu, the officials, and the Zhao family were all there.

"Zhan'er!"

"Teacher, are you all right?" Song Fenglin hurried forward.

Zhao Hengfu's complexion was very bad and he was frightened a lot. After all, he was an old man who was almost seventy.

"If the two of you hadn't come in time, I would have been doomed." Zhao Hengfu leaned on the back of the chair with lingering fear and sat down, he was still careless. "Zhan'er, the old man should have listened to you and acted immediately."

Now that the Zhou family knew ahead of time to gather a crowd to counterattack, and did not know what was going on outside, Zhao Hengfu was full of worry.

Song Fenglin didn't hide it from him either. "The garrison at the West City Gate was bribed by the Zhou family to intercept the son of the Great Sima on Zhongyang Avenue, and we happened to break up when we encountered it."

"There is such a thing! Da Sima still wants to persuade them to join forces!" Zhao Hengfu held his forehead, feeling dizzy, so frightened that Lu Lingyuan and others hurriedly called for a doctor.

If Zhou Chan can bribe one garrison general, he can bribe two. Maybe three of the four gate guards have surrendered to the enemy!

"Grandpa, don't panic, and us, Zhou Chan can't escape this battle!" Liu Zhan said forcefully.

After solving the crisis in the Imperial Master's Mansion, the two rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately with their personal guards.

They have already killed hundreds of thugs, and many have fled. These people who besieged the Emperor's Mansion have become weak, and the guards of the Emperor's Mansion are enough to deal with them.

At this time, the prime minister's mansion is staging an offensive and defensive confrontation.

The guards and thugs raised in captivity by the prime minister's mansion add up to two to three thousand people. The more than 1000 people in the hands of Xu Jingyan and Zhao Jizhang can't beat them, so they can only surround the prime minister's mansion and confront each other.

"The longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for us." Zhao Jizhang was anxious.

"The Zhou family has a lot of people, so if we attack by force, we may not be able to get in." Xu Jingyan was also anxious.

Zhao Jizhang suddenly thought of a plan. "Maybe you can ask Fang Weiwei to call the Imperial Palace Imperial Army!"

"My father has already gone, there should be news soon." Xu Jingyan said.

Xu Muyuan also considered this point, but Xu Muyuan and his son did not expect that the Xu Mansion was also attacked!The person who attacked Xu's mansion was actually the South City Gate garrison!

Xu Muyuan urgently led a hundred personal guards back to help, and he didn't bother to find Fang Yuliang at all.

At that time, the battle situation in the Xu Mansion was very pessimistic. The Xu family background was no better than that of the Zhao family, and there were only two to three hundred thugs in the nursing home in the mansion.

"Hurry up, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask Yan'er to lead his troops back!" Xu Muyuan was in a state of confusion.

More than a hundred people in Xu's mansion are his close relatives!Even facing the 20 Yan army in northern Xinjiang did not make Xu Muyuan so flustered at this time.

He can't care about the overall situation anymore, it's important to keep the Xu family at this time!

At that time Liu Zhan and Song Fenglin rushed to the prime minister's mansion, Zhao Jizhang and Xu Jingyan were helpless.

No wonder Zhao Jizhang and Xu Jingyan didn't dare to attack by force. The prime minister's mansion housed twice as many thugs as theirs, surrounding the prime minister's mansion like an iron barrel.

Liu Zhan briefly talked about the attack on the Emperor's Mansion.

Zhao Jizhang was shocked, and he was relieved when he heard that the crisis had been resolved.

"It's not a solution to waste like this." Liu Zhan held the knife, and he changed his mind. "Find kerosene to set fire to the Prime Minister's Mansion and return them. Disrupt their people first."

Both Zhao Jizhang and Xu Jingyan are descendants of aristocratic families, and they have many concerns in their actions, but Liu Zhan can't control that much.

Zhang Xiaoman immediately accepted the order, and went to look for kerosene with him. Zhao Jizhang was confused, but he also understood that Liu Zhan was right, so he ordered a few yamen servants to lead the way.

Soon they came back with a truckload of kerosene, and many crock pots the size of fists.

The earthen jar was filled with kerosene and covered with cloth, and then ignited to ignite the mouth of the jar, and then these strong men threw it vigorously, and the earthen jar with the size of a fist flew into the prime minister's mansion, and ignited as soon as it landed.

Immediately, there was a chaotic commotion in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Don't stop, throw more and ignite the surrounding area." Liu Zhan clasped his hands indifferently.

Song Fenglin kept supporting the sword and watched silently, when suddenly he thought of something. "Find someone to guard the nearby street entrance, so that Zhou Chan can't sneak away from the secret road or the gang."

No one in the imperial capital knew, but they all knew how well Zhou Chan could run.

"I'll send someone there!" Zhao Jizhang immediately took over the task.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, but the fire in the prime minister's mansion was getting bigger and bigger. The kerosene was not easy to extinguish, and the kerosene splashed from the kerosene tank caught fire, even if it fell on the roof, it would burn for a long time.

"Prime Minister! The thief set the fire, please go to the water pavilion to avoid the fire!" The retainers hurried in.

For a while, all the officials in the hall were blown up.

The Prime Minister's Mansion occupies a large area, and Liu Zhan and the others only set fire to the periphery. With the large number of people in the mansion, the fire can be controlled. However, the meeting hall is next to the gate, and the retainers came in to ask Zhou Chan to leave because they were afraid of being affected.

"Send some people to kill them! Don't confront them anymore!" Zhou Chan was very irritable, and asked again. "Is there any news from the Emperor's Mansion?"

"No news has been sent back yet. We have a lot of people, so we should be able to get things done." The retainers did not think that 2000 people would not be able to win the emperor's teacher.

Zhou Chan snorted coldly. "Go to the water pavilion!"

The officials followed Zhou Chan sparsely, but Zhou Chan stopped halfway.

"You guys go first, the old man will personally supervise the battle!" He turned and led the people to another road.

Pei Gong's thoughts turned quickly and he spoke immediately. "Prime Minister, do you want a staff officer?"

Zhou Chan's eyes were flickering, but he suppressed it quickly. "No need."

When Zhou Chan left the sight of these officials, the retainers immediately came up to tell the truth. "Great Prime Minister! The siege of the Emperor's Mansion and the killing of General Qi Yun both failed!"

"What!" Zhou Chan only felt a pain in his heart and almost lost his grip.

He has been waiting for the news from the Imperial Master's Mansion. As long as he wins the Emperor Master, he can give an order to counterattack, and then reach an agreement with Fang's. Zhou's crisis can be solved!

But now that he has failed to win the Emperor's Mansion, the Fang family will definitely not join hands with him, Zhou Chan panicked.

At the same time, the prime minister's mansion was burned to disrupt the defense, and Liu Zhan no longer hesitated when he saw the time was right.

"Someone knocked on the door!"

The imposing manner on Liu Zhan's body was too strong, Xu Jingyan immediately followed Liu Zhan's command without thinking, and called his soldiers to hit the door.

"Zheng Fengtian, you must guard Mr. Song, and you can't leave Mr. Song for half a step!" Liu Zhan said sternly.

Zheng Fengtian took the order loudly.

"The rest follow me!" Liu Zhan got on his horse.

For the Zhou family, this battle is a desperate fight. Those minions who rely on the Zhou family to maintain their rich life will fight back desperately. Song Fenglin knows that if he follows him in, Liu Zhan will be afraid to let go in order to protect his safety.

No matter how strong Zhou's gate was, it couldn't hold up to the piles being attacked in turn. Once the gate was broken, the Modao cavalry took the lead and charged in.

"Come on, let's go in!" Xu Jingyan's east gate garrison also rushed after him.

There were sounds of beating and killing all at once.

Liu Zhan led the Modao cavalry to open the way, killing in the main courtyard like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

When the situation was very good, Xu's nursing home came to report the news. When Xu Jingyan heard that the house was attacked, he didn't care about anything for a while.

"Retreat!! Repatriate!!" He looked panicked.

The East Gate defenders followed Xu Jingyan and retreated.

"Boss! The Xu Mansion was attacked, and the East Gate Army withdrew!" Cao Ming came to report.

Liu Zhan knew from the very beginning that these aristocratic families were unreliable, and Zhou Chan's forces made a full-scale counterattack to make them overwhelmed.

"No matter! Go in and kill!" Liu Zhan didn't waver at all.

180 Modao cavalrymen met gods and killed gods. Those irregular army thugs and black-clothed dead soldiers had no power to fight back. Even if the Dongmen army retreated, Liu Zhan still broke through the defense line and rushed into the inner courtyard of the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing that the prime minister's mansion was over, those nursing homes were the first to flee, and the prime minister's mansion was in chaos for a while.

Amidst the chaos, a large number of nursing homes broke out from the back door.

At that time, the prime minister's mansion had been surrounded by the yamen servants of the Ministry of punishment.

"Don't let one person leave, be careful not to mix in the prime minister!" Zhao Jizhang heard the news and hurriedly led people to block the gap in the back door.

At the front door, the Modao cavalry stormed all the way, and soon reached the inside.

Zhou Chan couldn't escape through the front door if he wanted to escape. Song Fenglin knew that there was Liu Zhan at the front door and Zhou Chan couldn't escape, so he immediately led people to the back door.

There are a large number of black-clothed dead soldiers fighting with the yamen servants in order to break through, and there are still people who come out, it can be described as chaos.

In the midst of this chaos, men in black and officials broke through, and this scene lifted Zhao Jizhang's spirit. "The Prime Minister must want to break out from the back door, come here! Block the back door! Get in!"

Song Fenglin, who had been watching all this, felt his heart sank. With Zhou Chan's selfish character, how could he care about these officials' life and death, and brought so many officials to break through, wouldn't he care about one thing and lose another?

At this moment, Song Fenglin saw Pei Gongli who was held hostage by the men in black to break out of the siege.

"Zheng Fengtian, take someone to rescue Pei Gongli!"

Pei Gongli must know Zhou Chan's whereabouts!

Liu Zhan's personal guards are no strangers to Pei Gongli, so Zheng Fengtian immediately led ten people towards Pei Gongli's direction.

"Mr. Song!" As soon as Pei Gongli looked up, he saw Song Fenglin on the horse, and saw some people in armor killing towards him, and his heart was at ease.

When Zheng Fengtian rushed to his side like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves to save him, Pei Gongli immediately shouted at the top of his voice. "The prime minister is not here, he separated from us early in the morning, you are all caught!"

Sure enough!

Song Fenglin panicked.

At this time, Pei Gongli had been led by Zheng Fengtian to leave the back door of the scuffle, he said in shock. "There's a hidden door in the southwest corner."

Zhou Chan's failure to bring Pei Gongli with him is destined to be his biggest failure on this trip. This villain can betray anyone anytime and anywhere.

"Zheng Fengtian, bring someone with me!" Song Fenglin went straight to the southwest corner where Pei Gongli said without hesitation.

"Come and report to the boss!" After Zheng Fengtian explained, he immediately led 19 people to follow Song Fenglin.

At this time, the sky was dim, and the prime minister's mansion was flooded by fire and the sound of beating and killing.

Liu Zhan went all the way and went straight to the inner courtyard of the prime minister's mansion.

All the Zhou family members are here, dozens of people, old and young, but there is no sign of Zhou Chan.

That old child who is greedy for life and afraid of death can't even take care of his family!He must have escaped elsewhere, and Liu Zhan soon realized that he had been tricked.

At the same time, the secret door in the southwest corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion was pushed open. It was a half-person-high small door hidden in the dense climbing vines. From here, one could come to a stinky ditch along the dog path inside the climbing vines. beside.

Town sewage is gathered here, the water is not as deep as knees, and there are horse-drawn carriages waiting there for wading across the river.

Those who besieged the prime minister's mansion were all paying attention to the streets and alleys, but no one paid attention to the messy interior of the climbing vines.

"Hurry up! Get out of the city first, and go to Cangzhou!" Zhou Chan looked panic-stricken.

"Father, mother and children are all inside." Zhou Chan's eldest son turned his head frequently.

"I can't care less!" Zhou Chan scolded.

More than a dozen men in black and two people sneaked across the river. On the other side, there were a carriage and dozens of men in black waiting here. Nearly a hundred people fled with the carriage wrapped in their arms.

Cangzhou is the ancestral land of the Zhou family. It is adjacent to Chenliu in the southernmost part of Dachu. It is better to return to Cangzhou now. There is a back road that the Zhou family has buried long ago. At worst, they can lead the entire Cangzhou to submit to Chenliu and keep the Zhou family to make a comeback. !

As for whether the family members who were left in the prime minister's mansion were dead or alive, Zhou Chan could no longer care.

At the same time, when Xu Jingyan led the East Gate Defense Army to the Xu Mansion, Fang Yuliang's Royal Palace Guards were rescuing the Xu Mansion.

"Fang Weiwei!" Xu Jingyan was overjoyed.

"My official is late." Fang Yuliang looked ashamed.

Due to the arrival of reinforcements, the thousand Nanmen troops and thousands of thugs who besieged Xu's mansion quickly fled.

Xu's father and son were very moved by Fang Yuliang's arrival.

However, what Xu's father and son didn't know was that Fang Yuliang saw that Zhou Chan had no chance of making a comeback, so he stepped on the spot to save Xu.

Zhao Hengfu is upright and clear, so he will definitely not join forces with the Fang family, nor will he join forces with any family.

Under such circumstances, Xu's is Fang's best choice.

As for Fang's ever wanting to take down Xu's in one fell swoop?The so-called empty talk has no basis, as long as Zhou Chan dies, the matter of the Zhou family's collapse will be over.

With today's life-saving grace, even if there are rumors in the future, Mrs. Xu will firmly believe that Mrs. Fang is innocent.

Fang Yu is very good at calculating.
