275, close the door and beat the dog!
"Boom—"
The heavy city gate fell down, blocking the Hu soldiers outside the city, but at the same time also preventing the Hu soldiers inside the city from leaving.
With the combined efforts of several groups, they finally killed all the Hu soldiers at the East Gate.
After the trouble here was resolved, Zhao Lang said to Lu Mingfei, "Go back to Prince Ding's Mansion and wait for me. I'll come back to find you after I've dealt with the things here."
"Remember not to run around!"
"Okay, you should be careful too." Lu Mingfei met Zhao Lang's gaze and knew that Zhao Lang was worried that he would be seen with Zhao Lang. If his relationship with Zhao Lang were known, his situation in the court would be very dangerous.
Fortunately, it was dark now. They had just killed enemies along the way and their faces were covered in blood. If they were not familiar with him, they would not recognize him at a glance.
It would be best for him to leave first while no one is paying attention to him, and leave the remaining Hu soldiers to Zhao Lang and his men to deal with.
But before he could leave, he heard someone shout, "General Wei, it's bad! His Majesty and his men have left through the west gate!"
"What?" General Wei suspected that he had heard it wrong.
They finally managed to close the East Gate, but the emperor ordered the West Gate to be opened?
"It's true. His Majesty just had the West City Gate opened and led his men out of the city. Now the West City is full of Hu soldiers, killing and looting everywhere!"
"I..." General Wei almost choked out a breath, spitting foul language in anger as he stood on the street. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't name names, he would have cursed the emperor to death!
When Lu Mingfei heard that the emperor had run away with his men, he didn't think that the emperor had committed suicide, but that tonight was also Zhao Lang's opportunity, "Zhao Lang!"
"I know. You go back to Prince Ding's Mansion and wait for me. I will come back to find you as soon as possible." If Lu Mingfei could think of it, how could Zhao Lang not think of it?
However, the city was now full of Hu soldiers. If left alone, they would kill who knows how many people. Right now, they had to rescue people.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei also knew that his iron arrows were almost used up. If he followed Zhao Lang at this time, not only would he be of no help, but he would also burden others in protecting him. It would be better for him to go back to Prince Ding's Mansion to check the situation and wait for Zhao Lang to come back to find him.
Then he didn't say anything more and followed the secret guard out of the alley.
After seeing Lu Mingfei leave, Zhao Lang brought his men to pay a visit to General Wei.
"I am Zhao Lang, the prince of Prince Ding, and Qi Jun, the prince of Prince Zhennan. I would like to pay my respects to General Wei." Zhao Lang and Qi Jun saluted the old general.
"So you two are the son of that brat Zhao Yuncheng, and the grandson of the old Qi family. Not bad, not bad, both of you are good. Everyone else is hiding at home, but you two dare to lead people out to kill the enemy!" General Wei looked at the two younger generations with admiration in his eyes. "Are you willing to follow me and kill those dogs?"
"I will obey the old general's orders." said Prince Qi.
Zhao Lang didn't say anything, but this also expressed his willingness to follow General Wei to fight the enemy.
"Let's go! Follow me to deal with them. If they dare to run into our territory and make trouble, they must be prepared to never come back!" General Wei took his men and two juniors and rushed towards the west gate.
***
Here, Lu Mingfei returned smoothly to Prince Ding's Mansion under the escort of the secret guards.
When the steward of Prince Ding's mansion saw that only Lu Mingfei and their secret guards had returned, he anxiously grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and asked, "Master Lu, where is our prince?"
"He went with General Wei to the west city gate to fight the enemy. He might not be back for a while." Seeing that the housekeeper and the servants in the palace were all worried, Lu Mingfei comforted them, "Don't worry, your family's prince has someone accompanying him over there. He'll be fine."
"Is there nothing going on at the palace tonight?" The latter question was asked to the butler.
"There's nothing wrong here in our house. Those Hu soldiers wanted to come in, but they were blocked outside by the high walls of our house. Lord Lu, please go into the house and rest for a while. I'll have someone bring you a set of clean clothes to change into." The housekeeper noticed that Lord Lu's clothes were filthy, so he asked the servant to take Lord Lu to the courtyard where their young master lived to change clothes.
"Oh, okay." Lu Mingfei looked down at his clothes and realized that they were stained with someone's blood.
This wasn't his first time at Prince Ding's mansion, and he was very familiar with it. The housekeeper and the servants all knew him. Even though Zhao Lang wasn't at the mansion, everyone still treated him like a distinguished guest.
Following the servant who led the way, he arrived at the courtyard where Zhao Lang lived. He asked someone to prepare a bucket of hot water for him, so he took a bath and changed into clean clothes.
After getting dressed, Lu Mingfei came over and opened the door. He said to the servant Qingzhu and the guards waiting outside, "You should go down and rest for a while. Your master may not be back for a while."
"Yes, Lord Lu, please call me if you have any instructions." The servant Qingzhu bowed and responded.
Lu Mingfei nodded, and after letting the servants and guards go to rest, he stayed in the room alone.
This is the room where Zhao Lang lives. He is not unfamiliar with it. He has even slept on the bed in the room countless times.
But at this moment there was chaos outside, Zhao Lang was fighting the enemy outside, and his family was not around, so it was difficult for him to calm down, let alone lie down in bed for a while and catch up on some sleep.
It's still dark outside and it will take some time before dawn.
The noisy sounds coming from all around foreshadowed that this night would not be peaceful.
The emperor actually led his men to flee the city? Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei was so angry that he laughed. As the king of a country, when the enemy came right in front of him, instead of thinking about how to resist the enemy, he took his men and fled?
"No wonder the Imperial Guards weren't seen tonight. It turns out the Emperor took them away! Didn't this bastard Emperor ever consider that if he opened the city gates, ran away with the Imperial Guards, and let the enemy in, what would happen to the people of this city?"
"I'm afraid these people don't even consider the lives of the people as their own!"
However, Lu Mingfei also knew that it was useless to discuss these matters with these high-ranking people, because these people did not regard the lives of the people as their own. Otherwise, the king of a country would not have done such a thing as abandoning the city and fleeing!
Thinking of Zhao Lang and his family who were still outside, Lu Mingfei felt a little worried.
"I don't know what's going on over there." Did his parents meet Hu Bing? Is everyone safe?
However, the neighbors around there had united to resist the enemy, and everyone was well prepared. Even if the Hu people entered the alley, they would not be able to gain any advantage. His father and adoptive father had bows and crossbows in their hands. It should not be difficult for them to hide in the dark and shoot a few Hu soldiers.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't feel at ease until he saw his family.
If he hadn't promised Zhao Lang that he would stay at Prince Ding's Mansion and wait for him, he would have wanted to go home.
It was just that the outside world was in chaos right now, and even if he brought his secret guards home, there was no guarantee he wouldn't encounter any Hu soldiers along the way. They had already encountered quite a few Hu soldiers on their way back, and if they hadn't been carrying bows and crossbows, it would have been difficult for them to escape.
"Oh, that's it!" Thinking of the crossbow he had hung in Zhao Lang's bedroom, Lu Mingfei went into the bedroom and found the crossbow hanging on the bed, and also found the iron arrow in the drawer!
"Hehe, can't I just get some more iron arrows now?!" Whatever you think will happen.
It just so happened that these iron arrows could come in handy, so he took out the iron arrows from the drawer and filled his sleeves with them. He then wrapped the remaining iron arrows in cloth, preparing to take them with him when he went out later.
And take this crossbow with you, it might be useful.
After packing up these things, Lu Mingfei remembered that he had promised to wait here for Zhao Lang to come back. He still had something to say to Zhao Lang. So after thinking about it, he could only stay here and wait for Zhao Lang to come back.
Let’s wait a little longer. If Zhao Lang doesn’t come back later, he will go home first.
Thinking of the emperor who had escaped, "If the emperor runs out tonight, the chances of him coming back alive are slim."
"It's better for this bastard to die outside!" If the emperor died, the court would definitely be in turmoil. Kyoto would be even more chaotic, and it would be easier for them to leave Beijing.
But if this happens, the court will be in chaos, and foreign enemies will have more opportunities to invade Dayan, and the common people will suffer then.
However, with Dayan in this state now, aren’t the people suffering? There are still countless refugees outside the city, and countless people struggling to survive.
Perhaps, this dynasty is about to end?
Otherwise, how could an emperor be so foolish as to take his men and run away instead of thinking about how to protect his country and people when the enemy comes?
Please forgive him for finding it difficult to be loyal to such an emperor!
Sitting down on the chair, Lu Mingfei thought about their future plans. The city gate was opened so easily today, and Hu Bing entered Kyoto Prefecture silently. There must be a traitor in the court.
Otherwise, how could Hu Bing bypass the defense line, arrive at the city gate, and attack Kyoto Prefecture so easily?
He thought of Prince Ding, who was fighting the enemy in Beijun. If anyone in the court was collaborating with the enemy and becoming a lackey of the Hu people, then Zhao Lang would be in even greater danger if he stayed in Jingdu Prefecture. He was afraid that someone would push Zhao Lang, the son of Prince Ding, out to vent their anger in order to appease the Hu people.
What's more, they killed a lot of Hu soldiers tonight, including a Hu general.
But at this moment, Lu Mingfei also thought of a very serious problem, "If Zhao Lang leaves, should I go with him?"
If he leaves with Zhao Lang now, what will his family do? Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
