Chapter 271 Lu Shuyun Wants to Escape

Daxia, Sufeng City.

Outside the city, the army of the Daxia court gathered, countless catapults were placed in a row, and archers were ready to go.

At this time, Sufeng City was in chaos. No one expected that the army of the court could defeat the armies of their major families in such a short time and surround Sufeng City.

Now they only have one last chance, that is, to let the grandmasters of the major families attack at the same time to deal with the army of the court.

Of course, they also expected that the grandmaster of the court might also be in the army, so the next is the contest between the grandmaster of the family and the grandmaster of the court. If the grandmaster of the family can defeat the grandmaster of the court, perhaps their Jiangnan family still has a glimmer of hope, but if the grandmaster of the family is defeated, the army of the court will probably be able to rush in in a short time.

In front of the imperial army, General Zhao Quan rode a horse, looking at the gate of Sufeng City, and then shouted loudly: "Attack!!!"

The next moment, the sound of the horn echoed in the sky above Sufeng City, and then the imperial army was dispatched, countless catapults threw huge stones, and the huge stones hit the city walls, and the city walls were smashed with pits everywhere.

Sufeng City was also using catapults, and countless huge stones were also thrown into the imperial army.

Of course, these huge stones are useless to the elite soldiers of the imperial court. Ordinary elite soldiers can easily avoid huge stones and bows and arrows.

At the same time.

Wang Family.

The heads of the Jiangnan family gathered in the Wang family's reception room again. Prince Lu Shuyun sat on the seat of the head of the Wang family, with a gloomy face and a very bad look.

He seemed to have seen the future of his death by poisoned wine.

After hearing the horn sound echoing over Sufeng City, everyone knew that the imperial army had launched an attack. Now they could only pin their hopes on the grandmasters of their respective families.

If the grandmasters of their respective families were defeated, then they would probably have no way to escape and only death.

The entire reception room was very quiet, everyone's faces were very ugly, and no one spoke.

At this time, Chu Hongfei couldn't help it, and he said directly: "Your Highness, let's find a way to escape. If you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If you die now, you will have nothing."

Chu Hongfei didn't want to die here. He was still so young, and he still had many ambitions and ideas that had not been realized. He was still thinking about Chu Yuqin, the beautiful woman.

Chu Hongfei thought to himself that his father had already established a foothold in the North Country anyway. As long as he escaped from Sufeng City and then quietly slipped to the North Country, he would be a hero again.

And he was his father's only son. As long as he went to the North Country, he would still be the eldest son of the Chu family in the North Country.

When he leaves in the future, he will be the head of the Chu family.

Of course, these are not the most important. The important thing is that he can pursue Chu Yuqin when he goes to the North Country.

When Chu Hongfei thought of Chu Yuqin's plump figure, his fear of death weakened a little.

Hearing Chu Hongfei's words, Chu Liang immediately scolded: "Hongfei, don't talk nonsense. The grandmasters of our families haven't made a move yet. How do you know that we are not the opponent of the imperial army?"

Hearing Chu Liang's words, Chu Hongfei was a little unhappy. Although he stood on the side of his two uncles and betrayed his father at the beginning, he did it to gain more power in the Chu family and didn't want to be bound by his father's rules and regulations.

Now the imperial army is at the gates of the city. If the imperial army attacks, the entire Chu family will be finished. His father has prepared such a good retreat for him in the North Country. He doesn't want to stay in Sufeng City with these Chu family members and wait for death.

Although Chu Hongfei felt uncomfortable, he could not argue with Chu Liang because he was his uncle and the prince and so many family heads were here. Chu Hongfei immediately shut up and stopped talking, but he was already thinking about how to escape from Sufeng City.

At this time, Lu Shuyun said: "Since this prince has chosen this road, he will definitely accompany you. How can he escape at this time?"

Lu Shuyun also saw that what these family heads were most afraid of was his escape. The imperial army was already attacking the city, and the people in the city were in panic. If the prince, the pillar of the city, ran away, the people of the whole Sufeng City would probably be scattered in an instant.

And Lu Shuyun was indeed the easiest to run away, because Lu Shuyun did not have any family business in Sufeng City. He came empty-handed and could naturally leave empty-handed.

But those aristocratic families were different. Those aristocratic families had been in Sufeng City for many generations. They had no way out at all. If they ran away, their family business for dozens of generations would be gone.

Of course, it's not just a matter of family property. Lu Shuyun is only one person, and at most he has a few followers, but each of those noble families has thousands of people. How can they escape with so many people?

If Lu Shuyun takes a few followers and escapes from Sufeng City in the chaos, he may not be discovered, but the noble families are not like that. There are too many people in the noble families, and the target is so big that they will definitely be discovered if they want to escape.

So Lu Shuyun said that he would not escape at this time, in fact, he was also trying to stabilize the hearts of the heads of the major noble families to prevent them from thinking too much.

But Lu Shuyun obviously didn't really think so.

He is a prince, why should he die with this group of aristocratic family members? He has already foreseen that if he is caught, his father will definitely not let him go even though he is a prince, and will definitely give him poison. Wine, or give him three feet of white silk.

Therefore, if he wants to survive, he cannot be caught by the imperial army outside the city. He must find a way to leave Sufeng City.

Since this Chu Hongfei also wants to escape, he can take advantage of this Chu Hongfei.

Chu Hongfei is from the Chu family in Jiangnan. He has grown up in Sufeng City since he was a child, and has lived in Sufeng City for so many years. He should know Sufeng City well. Maybe he can find a way to escape from the city.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said openly.

At this time, Lu Shuyun continued: "Now the people in the city are panicked. The heads of the families are sitting here and can't think of a good way. Now you should go back home and comfort your clansmen. Only when the people are calm, we I just hope to get through this difficult time.”

After hearing this, the heads of the aristocratic family thought for a while. Indeed, they are sitting here with big eyes and small eyes. No one can think of a good way. They will only know after the war between the great masters is over. Can he defeat the imperial army?

At this time, the head of the Qin family stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. In this situation, even if we are sitting here, we are just worried. We might as well go back to our respective homes and comfort each other." "

Seeing that the head of the Qin family had said this, the head of the Wang family sighed and said, "Okay, everyone, please go back today."

The family heads thought that if Su Feng City was really captured by the imperial army, they would just have to wait for death in the Wang family now, so they might as well lead their clansmen in a final desperate struggle later.

Moreover, once the imperial army invades the city, they will definitely divide their troops. The aristocratic families are distributed in various places in Sufeng City. As long as the imperial army divides their troops, one of their aristocratic families may be able to seize the chaotic situation in Sufeng City and rush out with their own clansmen. Su Fengcheng.

Although everyone talks about unity, they have already prepared for the worst in their hearts. Most people do not believe that they can win. If they really have a chance of winning, they will not lose all the way and lose to this point. .

Afterwards, each family head left the Wang family and returned to their respective families.

After they all left, Lu Shuyun came to a restaurant in Su Feng City, and then found someone to quietly bring Chu Hongfei to him.

As soon as he heard that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to see him alone, Chu Hongfei was very happy. As long as he could meet the Crown Prince alone, he would have a chance to convince the Crown Prince and they could escape directly.

Chu Hongfei actually thought about escaping from Su Feng City alone, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had no strength at all, and he did not have any powerful subordinates in the Chu family. If he escaped alone, he would not be able to escape from Su Feng City. When he was discovered by the imperial army outside, he was probably caught directly.

If there are masters around him, it will be different. Then those masters will help him hold back the soldiers of the court, and then he can get rid of the soldiers of the court.

There is no doubt that it is the most appropriate choice to cooperate with Lu Shuyun. Lu Shuyun is surrounded by masters at the master level. If they escape together, even if they are accidentally discovered by the soldiers of the imperial court, there will be strong people covering them. Then The probability of them escaping from Sufeng City is even greater.

Not long after, Chu Hongfei appeared in Lu Shuyun's room. After seeing Lu Shuyun, Chu Hongfei immediately saluted and said, "The common people have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Lu Shuyun smiled and said, "Brother Chu, get up quickly. There is no need to be so polite."

Seeing that Lu Shuyun was so polite to him, Chu Hongfei felt that something was wrong. He asked at this time: "Your Highness, I wonder why you are looking for a grassroots person?"

Lu Shuyun sighed, and then said: "Each of the major aristocratic families had their own agendas, which ultimately led to the defeat of this war. Although the imperial army has not yet invaded Sufeng City, the defeat of Sufeng City is already doomed."

"I remembered that not long ago, a wealthy family in Qi State wrote to Gu. As long as Gu goes to Qi State, Gu's imperial uncle will definitely find a way to protect Gu. When Gu's father dies in the future, Gu's imperial uncle will support him at all costs. Ascended to the throne alone."

Hearing this, Chu Hongfei's heart suddenly became excited. Hearing what Lu Shuyun meant, Lu Shuyun also planned to escape from Su Feng City quietly, and also go north?

So, they are kindred spirits?

Chu Hongfei immediately said: "Your Highness, if you need anything, you can tell the common people. If the common people can help you, they will die without mercy!"

Lu Shuyun said with a smile: "There is no need to die. I just want to know. You have lived in Sufeng City for so many years. You should know Sufeng City very well and know some ways to leave Sufeng City."

"If Gu can successfully reach Qi State, you will be the number one hero. When Gu reaches that position in the future, I will make you the Duke of the country!"

Hearing the cakes drawn by Lu Shuyun, Chu Hongfei's heartbeat began to beat faster. He thought for a while and felt that Lu Shuyun still had hope of turning over.

The strength of Qi State is not weak. If King Qi supports Lu Shuyun and Lu Shuyun keeps a low profile in Qi State, when Emperor Xia passes away in the future, King Qi may really be able to push Lu Shuyun to the throne. At that time, he will The man who saved Lu Shuyun's life was a great hero, and he would definitely not be able to escape the position of Duke.

Thinking of this, Chu Hongfei immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will find a way to get you out safely."

Hearing Chu Hongfei's answer, Lu Shuyun smiled and said: "Brother Chu, do you know where we can leave Sufeng City quietly?"

Chu Hongfei smiled and said: "Of course, if Your Highness is ready, we can leave Sufeng City tonight."

Lu Shuyun said: "Well, I'll trouble Brother Chu for this matter. We will leave Sufeng City at night tonight."

Speaking of this, Lu Shuyun suddenly thought of something, and then He continued, "By the way, Brother Chu, I hope you won't tell the rest of the Chu family about this. If there are too many people and the target is too big, it will be easy to expose our whereabouts. Even if we escape from Sufeng City, we may be discovered by the imperial soldiers."

Chu Hongfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will only bring two or three followers. Apart from that, I will never tell anyone else in the Chu family."

Lu Shuyun said, "Okay, Brother Chu, hurry up and prepare. Come to the restaurant to see me tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the voice fell, Chu Hongfei left the restaurant with a happy face.

Seeing Chu Hongfei's back, Lu Shuyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He planned to get rid of Chu Hongfei, the idiot, directly after escaping from Sufeng City.

When the imperial army broke through Sufeng City, the Chu family was destroyed, and those Chu Hongfeis were naturally useless.

Lu Shuyun thought to himself that he hoped that tonight's operation would go smoothly. If they were discovered, whether by the noble families in the city or by the imperial soldiers outside the city, it would be very difficult for them to escape.

It would be best if this kind of thing succeeded in one go.

At the same time.

Outside Sufeng City.

Seeing that the imperial army was about to climb the city wall, suddenly, the imperial soldiers on the city wall were instantly knocked away by an invisible force, and then the imperial siege ladders were all destroyed.

The next moment, three grandmasters appeared on the city wall.

After seeing this scene, the morale of the rebels in Sufeng City was greatly boosted. The grandmasters on their side finally took action. With the help of the grandmasters, the imperial army could not attack no matter how powerful it was.

At this moment, the soldiers did not know that their leader, Lu Shuyun, had planned to run away.

After seeing the three grandmasters on the tower, Zhao Quan, the general of the imperial court, immediately said to the soldiers: "Retreat!"

As soon as the voice fell, the horn sounded, and the imperial army retreated immediately.

Seeing the imperial army retreat, the soldiers of Sufeng City cheered immediately. They all thought they had won and the imperial army was scared away by the grandmaster on their side.

Little did they know that Zhao Quan had a smile on his face after he asked the imperial soldiers to retreat.

They did not really retreat, but the second war began. It was not a war between ordinary soldiers, but a war between grandmasters. The war between grandmasters would inevitably affect the people around them, so he immediately asked the imperial soldiers to withdraw.

Just as the soldiers of Sufeng City were immersed in fantasy, three old men rode slowly out of the retreating imperial army.

Seeing the three old men, the soldiers of Sufeng City instantly felt something was wrong.

The imperial army had clearly retreated, so why would they send out three old men at this time?

Could it be that...

these three old men are also grandmasters?

Before people had time to think about it, the three old men rode their horses straight to the city gate.

After seeing this scene, the three grandmasters of the family did not wait, they jumped down from the tower directly.

Then the second war in Sufeng City began.

The three grandmasters of the court were obviously stronger than the three grandmasters of the family. The three grandmasters of the family were beaten back step by step, which made the three grandmasters of the family a little unbelievable.

Where did Emperor Xia invite this grandmaster from? How could he be so strong?

If they remembered correctly, when the three of them were still the heads of the family, the grandmaster of the Great Xia Royal Family was hunted by a strong man in the Heavenly Man Realm. Logically speaking, there was no such a strong grandmaster in the Great Xia Royal Family.

It was already very good that the national teacher Situ Ce could break through to the Grandmaster realm, but the royal family had three more grandmasters, and the strength of these three grandmasters was so strong.

Could it be that these three grandmasters were the grandmasters who survived the royal family in the past, and they were lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the strong man in the Heavenly Man Realm?

Although I was shocked, it was useless to think about it now. Not long after, a grandmaster of aristocratic family was seriously injured. The three grandmasters of aristocratic family had to retreat temporarily.

After seeing the three grandmasters of Jiangnan family retreat, the three grandmasters of the court also left and did not continue to join the battlefield.

The court did not use the grandmasters to deal with those soldiers. Of course, there was another reason because the consumption of the three grandmasters of the court was also very large. If their strength was consumed in dealing with the soldiers of Sufeng City, the three grandmasters would not be opponents when they came out later.

So usually, the war of the dynasty is a grandmaster against a grandmaster, and the grandmaster does not participate in the war below the grandmaster, and this war is the same now.

At this time, General Luo Zhaoquan said: "Charge again!"

As soon as the voice fell, the horn sounded again, and the court army attacked the city again.

However, after a day, the court army did not take down Sufeng City, and the strength of the rebels in Sufeng City to defend the city was still very strong.

After night fell.

In the inner courtyard of a restaurant in Sufeng City, dozens of black shadows surrounded a well.

A man's voice sounded, "Can we leave Sufeng City through this well?"

Another man replied, "Yes, this well is connected to the seaside. As long as you pass through this well, you can reach the seaside directly."

The man said, "In this case, let's not waste time. Brother Chu, please lead the way."

Chu Hongfei smiled and said, "Okay, I will take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of Sufeng City."

As soon as the voice fell, Chu Hongfei pulled the rope and slowly went down into the well, followed by Lu Shuyun and others who also went down from the well.
