The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Suzhou Prefecture.

It was already evening when Zhu Guobi led hundreds of defeated soldiers to the outside of the city.

At this time, the city gates were closed and the drawbridge was raised.

The days of fleeing not only made Zhu Guobi exhausted, but also exhausted his food rations.

He had to stop and find a way to fill his stomach.

Zhu Guobi pondered for a while and ordered: "You guys take the official document and ask for the city gate to be opened and ask the defenders for some food and grass."

Several soldiers simply straightened their uniforms, stood up and went to knock on the door.

The defenders in the city had already heard the news that the anti-rebellion army was attacking Nanjing.

They didn't know who would win or lose.

But after hearing that the people outside the city were Zhu Guobi's men, they quickly realized that Zhu Guobi had been defeated.

In order to atone for their sins, they immediately left the city to hunt down Zhu Guobi.

Zhu Guobi was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it, it's like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog."

In order to avoid pursuit by Suzhou government troops, Zhu Guobi had no choice but to run back.

After running for less than half an hour, he met Qin Yiming head-on.

Zhu Guobi and his men were already exhausted.

In order to survive, Zhu Guobi took out all the money he had and put it on the ground and begged: "General Qin, please spare my life for the sake of this money! I, Zhu, will repay your kindness in my next life even if I have to work like a slave!"

Qin Yiming ignored the money on the ground and said coldly: "This is not about money."

"So what do you want? I'll give you everything!"

Qin Yiming rode on his horse, looking into the distance: "Why don't men take Wu Gou and conquer fifty states in Guanshan? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, and you will be a scholar and a marquis!"
