Chapter 395: Siege
Inside the White Cloud Room, it was like demolishing a house. Any place where people might hide could be opened by force, and many walls were forcibly smashed open.
Soon, the inside of the gold-selling cave was tossed into tatters.
"Step aside!"
An angry shout came from the street, and the soldiers blocking the street were pushed away, and Hao Yunsheng limped over accompanied by his entourage.
Facing the King of the West Court, the sergeants were in a difficult situation without a military order. This is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Hao Yunsheng's complexion under the firelight was gloomy, and there was an unconcealable rage in his eyes.
"My lord, you are wronged!"
"My lord is the master for us!"
Seeing the big backer coming, a fan who was kneeling on the ground suddenly got up, pushed away the guarding sergeant, and knelt down in the middle aisle to block the way and cry for grievances.
With this sound, several fans climbed out of the kneeling queue, and blocked the way to cry for grievances.
The other Yingying and Yanyan immediately cried and responded to the fans' cries of grievances. They all turned around and knelt towards Hao Yunsheng, and the streets were full of crying and crying.
The men kneeling on the other side secretly looked at it, but they were quiet. Some people even exchanged glances with each other, ready to watch the excitement.
Looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him, Hao Yunsheng glanced coldly around and shouted angrily: "It's a legal business, who gave you the right to act recklessly, do you still have the law in your eyes? Let Huyan Wuhen come to see this king! "
As soon as the words were spoken here, clusters of archers suddenly appeared from the windows on the streets on both sides.
There was a sudden sound of the bowstring swishing, and a rain of arrows struck.
Hao Yunsheng was startled, and the accompanying mages on the left and right behind him stepped forward and cast spells to protect him.
However, the rain of arrows only came towards Hao Yunsheng, but did not shoot at Hao Yunsheng. Instead, the people kneeling in front of Hao Yunsheng screamed.
"ah……"
The dozen or so fans who had just come out to cry and cry for grievances fell to the ground amidst screams, each of them was shot like a hedgehog, and instantly fell into a pool of blood.
After a sound of the bow and a burst of screams, the scene fell into a dead silence. The Yingying and Yanyan who had just echoed and cried were trembling one by one, feeling a little scared out of their wits, no one dared to shout anymore.
The men kneeling on the other side shrank their heads in fright, their faces were ugly, and they also felt out of their wits. They lost their minds about watching the excitement, and began to worry about whether the Xiaocai army would kill them.
Hao Yunsheng was also really frightened, just for a moment, he even mistakenly thought that someone was going to take the opportunity to kill him.
A figure suddenly appeared in the aisle surrounded by flames at some point in front of him. Hao Yunsheng thought it was an illusion of his own eyesight, and when the person walked over slowly, his pupils shrank suddenly when he saw who it was.
Zha Hu suddenly appeared and walked over, stopped across a group of corpses on the ground, and glanced at his broken leg, "Your majesty, the majestic prince, actually appeared in person in front of a public brothel, it's not good-looking, It's also ridiculous!"
Hao Yunsheng waved his sleeves and pointed, and said angrily: "You want to rebel if you move the army rashly in the capital?"
Zha Hu: "Don't label it indiscriminately. There are reasons for mobilizing the army. The prince has no right to intervene in military affairs. Interfering with military affairs without authorization is a capital offense. Please leave quickly."
Hao Yunsheng: "Let Huyan Wuhen come to see this king!"
Zha Hu clasped his hands on his abdomen, and said slowly: "My lord, the general has an order to kill anyone who dares to obstruct military affairs!" While speaking, he looked coldly at Hao Yunsheng's accompanying mages, and the corners of his eyebrows gradually raised.
As soon as these words came out, a group of archers from the upstairs windows on both sides set up their arrows again, and turned their swords and guns around to aim at Hao Yunsheng.
After Hao Yunsheng's attendant mage met Zha Hu's eyes, he seemed a little guilty, and whispered something in Hao Yunsheng's ear.
In the end, Hao Yunsheng flicked his sleeves, turned his head and walked away with an ugly expression on his face.
The reason why the children of the royal family like to fight for the big position is sometimes not just because of power, but because people under power are too realistic. Without power, there is no dignity. For example, Hao Yunsheng left in front of him full of shame and indignation. It's not good to be humiliated in public.
...
jingle!
When the bell rang, even Yuan Gang heard it clearly this time.
There was a faint ringing of the bell ahead, Su Zhao picked it up, but found nothing unusual, thought it was an illusion.
The two galloping under the starry sky stopped their steeds urgently, looked at each other, jumped off their mounts, and searched for the place where the bell rang.
Before long, the two found a bell on a small plant.
The bell is nothing, the key is a silk thread implicated on the bell, Yuan Gang quickly stroked along the thread, and found that the thread was broken.
Su Zhao immediately released the moon butterfly, searched along the broken end of the silk thread, and soon pulled up another broken silk thread in the grass on the other side, and stroked it along, but couldn't find it after searching for hundreds of feet. the end.
She didn't dare to delay for too long, and came back while stroking the silk thread. The two of them took the lead together, looked at their war horse, and then looked back at the direction they came from.
Obviously, the silk thread was tripped and broken when the two mounts rushed past, thus triggering the bell.
In this way, it shows that the bell that Su Zhao heard before is not wrong, but because the position where the silk thread was tripped is different from the position of the bell, some can be heard clearly, while others cannot be heard clearly.
The two of them didn't know how many silk threads they tripped and broke along the way, not to mention that they couldn't see it at night, even in the daytime, who would find such a thin thread hidden in the grass when it was tripped by a horse's hoof?
Yuan Gang soon realized that the grassland is vast and it is not easy to find people. This is likely to be a military method used by the Xiaocai Army to find targets on the grassland. It may be disturbed by other animals and people, but the Xiaocai Army must have a set of screening methods. s method.
"Our general whereabouts should have been discovered by the Xiaocai Army!" Yuan Gang looked dignified.
The reason is very simple, the people who want to arrest them cannot randomly arrange these things aimlessly in the vast grasslands, no matter how simple the arrangement is, it will not be able to bear it.
Su Zhao: "Why are you sure it's the military? Is it possible that it was arranged by someone else?"
Yuan Gang was vigilant around and said: "This thing seems simple, but it can't be done by a small number of people, nor can it be done by your monks with a high level of cultivation. To play an early warning role, you must have a complete set of large-scale operations. OK, this must be a military early warning method, others do not have such manpower and organizational capabilities."
Su Zhao nodded thoughtfully, and understood why he was sure it was the Xiao Cavalry Army. Naturally, it was because of Huyan's family, but he couldn't help but look at Yuan Gang more.
"Put away the moon butterfly, change the direction, let's go!" Yuan Gang greeted.
The two immediately ran to the war horse, turned over, turned the mount and galloped away in another direction.
"No wonder you were able to hide it from Huyan Wuhen's eyes. Even I almost mistakenly thought you were from the army. You really worked hard to get close to Huyan's family!" Su Zhao, who was riding alongside, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Not only because of what happened just now, but along the way, in order to get rid of the pursuit, she had already noticed that Yuan Gang seemed to have a considerable understanding of the army's methods.
Yuan Gang did not explain.
After about a stick of incense, the faces of the two galloping in the night changed slightly. They both looked back and heard a lot of hooves.
The thunderous sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer. The two rushed up a hillside and looked back. They saw a long black shadow dragon chasing all the way under the moonlight, and the light and shadow of the moon butterfly.
With so many cavalry, it was difficult to believe that they were from the Xiao cavalry.
Yuan Gang quickly pointed in the direction and said, "Go over there. After you go to Qingshan County, tell the Lord about the situation. The Taoist Lord will naturally distinguish right from wrong and arrange you well. He will definitely not treat you badly!"
Su Zhao became anxious, "I won't go, I want to go together."
Yuan Gang: "Leave first, find a way to contact Master Dao, if Master Dao makes a move, he might save me. Their target is me. If you are with me, no one can leave!"
Su Zhao refused straight away, "I won't go!"
In her eyes, Yuan Gang is just an ordinary person, she can still help and protect her, and she can't accept leaving Yuan Gang alone to escape.
After such a delay, the two of them couldn't leave even if they wanted to. The pursuers behind them were very skilled in riding, which was not comparable to the two of them. They caught up with them in a short while. The momentum was astonishing, and they had the momentum to sweep the vast land.
The large group of cavalry suddenly changed their formation and split into two groups, forming a 'V' shape to attack.
Among them, a team of hundreds of people rushed out at an accelerated speed. Under the night, it seemed that only horses could be seen galloping, but no people could be seen. Hundreds of people were all attached to the horses, and they could ignite rockets and bowstrings at such a fast pursuit speed. There was a sudden sound, and a flame swished from one side.
Although they didn't hit the two of them, they were forced to change directions quickly and force them with rockets all the way.
It didn't take long for Yuan Gang to realize that the opponent was not trying to chase them down, but was trying to force them to a certain direction.
It was too late to react. A few moon butterflies could be seen in front of them under the night sky, and below the moon butterflies was a long black shadow, like a wall.
It was difficult for Yuan Gang and Su Zhao not to go in that direction, they were pinched and rushed over.
The black wall was suddenly lit and a large number of torches were raised, and a dense cavalry line blocked the front.
Among the blocked cavalry, a large number of people strung their bows and opened their bows and arrows towards this side. There will be a rain of arrows at any time.
The chasing cavalry gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
Yuan Gang and Su Zhao were coerced by this momentum, and the rhythm of their escape was involuntarily controlled.
When the two stopped, they looked around and found that they were surrounded by the army, and there were cavalrymen holding torches everywhere.
The general of the cavalry waved his hand, the bow and arrow were stretched, and the aimed arrows were lowered.
And around the main general, there are several accompanying mages, who are obviously monks from the three major sects by looking at their clothes.
Yuan Gang raised the saber, Su Zhao drew out the sword, and both of them were vigilant about their surroundings.
However, the cavalry who besieged them neither intended to attack nor let them go. They kept silent, as if they wanted to surround them and seemed to be waiting for something.
The two trapped people didn't dare to act rashly, because they couldn't figure out how deep the opponent was following the mage. If there were only cavalry, they would still dare to charge forward.
Not long after, there was another sound of rumbling hooves in the distance, and hundreds of horses galloped towards them under the darkness of night.
