Agge Square.
Seeing that the enemy had given up resistance, Li Yinhuan felt a little bored and immediately turned his horse back, saying embarrassedly, "Dad, it seems that the enemy has given up resistance."
Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "All those soldiers who have given up resistance will be detained and await your Majesty's decision."
Li Yinhuan sighed, "What a pity for these elite Tiger Guards. They didn't die on the grassland, but died under the swords and guns of their own people."
Pharmacist Li stroked his long beard and sighed, "They were all brave men who died for their loyalty. Let's pass on the order to give them a proper burial."
Li Yinhuan was about to say something when she saw a huge fire in the sky and immediately shouted, "Daddy, look!"
Pharmacist Li pulled his beard and remained silent.
…
Under the cover of night, Guo Jie and his party arrived at Canglong Gate.
Their arrival immediately aroused the vigilance of Li Dejian on the city wall.
He stood on the city wall, his eyes sharp as torches, and saw at a glance more than a dozen black shadows with extraordinary skills.
His heart tightened, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Stop!"
When Guo Jie and his companions heard the voice, they immediately stopped.
They looked from a distance and saw that the gate of Canglong Gate had been knocked down by the battering ram. Some soldiers were standing by the gate, cleaning up the battlefield.
Judging from their attire, they should be soldiers of the Shen Ce Army.
"This seems to be Commander Li from the Patrol Battalion, right?"
A sharp-eyed younger brother came up and whispered behind Guo Jie.
"It is indeed Commander Li."
Another younger brother holding a rake said, "Commander Li is a good officer. He often brings the soldiers from the patrol battalion to help the people build bridges and roads."
Guo Jie whispered, "Be careful, he might be a traitor."
"No way, Brother Guo! Who among the people of the Great Zhou wouldn't call you Lord Justice when they hear the name of Commander Li?"
Guo Jie raised his eyebrows and scolded: "You can know a person's face but not his heart!"
The words fell.
More than a dozen people quietly retreated a few steps. In the blink of an eye, they retreated more than ten steps.
After figuring that he had already left the archers' range, he picked up his weapon and confronted the opponent.
After he had estimated that he was out of the archers' range, he picked up his weapon and confronted the enemy.
"Who are you? What are you doing entering the palace so late at night?"
Li Dejian shouted.
At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling the archers on the city wall to get ready.
Sorry, you are still within my fire coverage.
I just spent some money to knock out the Mo family's technicians and bought a batch of combination bows.
Guo Jie said calmly, "Guo Jie!"
Guo Jie?
Isn’t this a heroic man from Jingzhou?
What is he here for?
"Major General, the man under the city is indeed the hero Guo Jie!"
"I have received the kindness of Mr. Guo, and I will never admit my mistake."
Guo Jie was famous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, so there must be someone among the soldiers of the Shen Ce Army who knew him.
Li Dejian nodded and said in a muffled voice:
"I am Li Dejian, commander of the patrol battalion, and I am now in charge of the defense of the imperial city."
"Mr. Guo, why are you bringing people into the palace so late at night?"
The great hero shouldn't be a traitor, right?
Otherwise, the character will collapse.
Thinking of this, he slowly raised his hand and signaled the crossbowman to draw his bow.
Guo Jie thought that this stalemate was not going to work, so he immediately got straight to the point and said, "General Li, I have a question for you. Is His Majesty alright?"
"Your Majesty is safe. The rebellion has been quelled. We are currently cleaning up the battlefield. What about you?"
Li Dejian locked his eyes on this group of people. If he saw anything amiss, he would immediately order his archers to launch a saturation attack.
Guo Jie didn't know that the equipment had been updated and he and others were still within the range.
Therefore, he shouted loudly: "I have seen the fire in the imperial city and Yang Yingguang's rebellion, so I have come to protect Your Majesty!"
"Go back, Your Majesty is safe, there is no need to worry." Li Dejian replied.
Guo Jie said in a deep voice, "I want to personally confirm the safety of Your Majesty!"
Li Dejian ordered his men to lower their crossbows and shouted, "I can't make the decision on this. I need to inform them. I beg for your forgiveness, Mr. Guo."
"General Li, please do as you please."
Guo answered.
Then he signaled the ranger to put down his weapon and stand still.
The two sides confronted each other silently.
Guo Jie pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while. Indeed, he did not hear any shouting or killing, so he turned around and asked.
"Have you heard any noises in the city?"
The younger brothers all shook their heads in unison and said, "Brother, there's no movement. It's as quiet as a ghost."
Guo Jie nodded without saying anything. After a moment of silence, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
To be on the safe side, he quietly called over a younger brother who was good at leg skills and asked him to look in other places to see if he could find a place with weak defense and sneak into the imperial city to take a look.
If there is still fighting in the city, or if rebels have kidnapped Your Majesty, send a signal immediately.
He will bring people in to kill them.
About an hour passed.
Wang Meng and Ju Meng also dealt with the assassins who were causing trouble in Jingzhou City and rushed over with their men.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Wang Meng asked.
Guo Jie did not answer, but asked with concern: "How are the brothers?"
Wang Meng replied, "Three brothers were injured, but they've been bandaged and are not seriously injured."
Ju Meng sighed and said, "The idea was very difficult. One of our brothers was seriously injured. Everyone else was injured. The seriously injured brother was taken away by Prefect Chen for treatment."
Guo Jie patted the two men on the shoulders and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"The situation in the Imperial City is still unclear. I've sent Xiao Liuzi to investigate. From what General Li has said, everything is fine now."
As they were talking, the noise and bustle grew louder.
