Chapter 200: Support Tongniu County? Shura Field Outside the City
Several people hurried to the city gate, but found that there was nothing unusual with the soldiers guarding the city. Ling Buyi nodded and called over a black-armored guard: "Has anyone left the city?"
The man bowed and said, "Young Master, a group of soldiers and horses, carrying a cart of food and fodder, just left the city. They said they were following your orders to support Tongniu County."
"Tongniu County?" He Zhaojun's face turned even worse when she heard these words.
"Li Fu and Peng Kun conspired for a while. Ma Rong's rebellion in Tongniu County, and Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong were framed, must have been his scheme. Peng Kun's brain wouldn't be capable of such a thing."
Several people looked at each other and said, "He ran away! Chase him!"
As he spoke, Ling Buyi jumped onto his horse and said, "I will go to Tongniu County first to investigate the matter of Shao Shang and Uncle Cheng, and search for the remnants of Emperor Li on the way. You two will stay behind to clean up the mess, and we will meet up in Tongniu County later!" As he spoke, he whipped his horse and chased in the direction of Tongniu County with a team of black-armored guards.
Wen Ziduan and He Zhaojun quickly settled Shouchun, leaving behind Ling Buyi's capable men. They also quickly assembled a thousand soldiers and quickly left the city. As they rode forward, they heard a commotion behind them.
"Form a formation!" He Zhaojun gave an order, and nearly half of the people gathered around. These were the He family's troops, and the rest were the black-armored guards left by Ling Buzhi and the local officers and soldiers of Shouchun.
But these people quickly surrounded He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan, holding swords and knives, and were obviously not real soldiers.
Wen Ziduan blocked He Zhaojun behind him and said, "Li Fu! Come out and see me!"
Unexpectedly, a black-faced man walked out from the team, wiped his face with his hand, revealing a pale face. It was undoubtedly Li Fu who had been missing for many days.
"Li Fu! Who are you? Are you really a remnant of the Li Emperor, as Peng Kun claims?" He Zhaojun refused to believe it. If he were truly a descendant of the previous dynasty, why would he be so eager to help our people when they encountered natural disasters?
Li Fu stood before the two of them, looking up and smiling. "I was right after all. You are not Wang Yan's dowry! Who else in the world could have such an honor?"
"Can you tell me now who you are?"
He Zhaojun was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Daughter of General He Yong, the Third Prince's wife, He Zhaojun."
"...You have already made an alliance with me by biting your arm, and I have already chosen you. So what if you are the Third Prince's consort?" Li Fu said loudly, not even refusing to look at Wen Ziduan who was standing in front of He Zhaojun.
Wen Ziduan sneered, "I advise you not to think about my wife, otherwise, I will kill you all!"
"If I don't care about you, will you let us go?" Li Fu smiled bitterly. "So what if we are the remnants of the previous dynasty? Should we be hunted down like rats crossing the street?!"
"Don't forget, when the earthquake occurred, it was us who worked together to save the people of Shouchun! Where is the person next to you?" Li Fu looked at He Zhaojun with pleading eyes.
"Who knows what your intention is in saving people?" Someone outside the encirclement shouted loudly, and then a buzzing arrow flew straight towards Li Fu's face. Li Fu had to dodge many times, and the attendants of Emperor Li gradually formed a circle around him to protect him in the middle.
He Zhaojun's eyes reddened: "Third brother... I'm here!"
The third brother He Feng, who had been clearing the way outside the city, failed to catch up with Ling Buyi, who was traveling lightly, but found He Zhaojun.
He Zhaojun smiled, glanced at Li Fu who was full of expectation, pulled out the dagger beside her, and with a cold light out of the sheath, slashed at her arm.
