Only the dead can shut their mouths. If he gets out alive, the matter will become extremely difficult and Sun Renluan will not let him go!
Yang Zangyi immediately sent out all his private soldiers. He didn't care even if it would alert others. His original plan was to let Xizhu seduce Xiao Rong and let Xiao Rong take her back to Chenliu. After a while in Chenliu, he would kill him secretly, for example, pretending that he had fallen into the water or had a stroke. In short, it was an accident that had nothing to do with Nanjing. Now his plan was discovered. If Xiao Rong returned to Chenliu with this news, the Zhenbei Army might have crossed the Huai River tomorrow.
As for the play performed by Xiao Rong and Zhang Biezhi, it could at most fool the young emperor and the not-so-smart officials. How could Xiao Rong be excluded by the Zhenbei Army? If he was excluded, the Zhenbei Army would not have moved the capital to Chenliu. …
Yang Zangyi's nerves were extremely tense. From the second the matter was exposed, there was no turning back. He had to kill Xiao Rong. He had to kill Xiao Rong.
At the same time, he was cursing the Qingfeng Sect in his heart.
They said Xizhu was the best assassin they had, her disguise ability was top-notch, no one would ever discover her true identity, how ridiculous...did she insist on having a cup of tea?
As soon as I'm done with this, I'll go and wipe you out!
The Yang family is the third most prominent family in the Central Plains. Although their status is not as high as the second-ranked Sun family, in terms of the number of people and foundation, the Sun family is really not as good as the Yang family.
Aristocratic families can keep private soldiers, and as long as the scale is not too large, the people above them will turn a blind eye. The Yang family kept a total of 5,000 private soldiers. Yang Zangyi lived near the imperial palace, and he had 2,000 private soldiers that he could mobilize immediately.
These two thousand people moved out together. They had no baggage, nor did they need to bring others with them. There were no good or bad alien races following them. Moreover, they could rush around without having to keep a low profile.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time for them to catch up with Xiao Rong and others. At this time, Xiao Rong and others had just left the city gate and were still far away from the Huai River. They were also traveling at full speed. Song Shuo was almost vomited by the horse, but he knew it was impossible to stop at this time, so he could only endure it with a pale face.
However, he could endure it, but Xiao Rong beside him suddenly couldn't endure it anymore.
Xiao Rong's body swayed. He was holding the reins tightly, but suddenly he stumbled forward and almost fell off the horse.
It was a guard who immediately rushed over and helped him up, thus preventing Xiao Rong from falling and becoming a bloody mess. Cries of pain were heard one after another, and everyone stopped and looked at Xiao Rong anxiously.
The guard leader dismounted and ran over quickly: "Mr. Xiao! What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Rong's eyes were full of stars and his consciousness was blurred for a while. He finally heard the outside world again. He blinked in confusion and sat up straight. "Oh no... Go, go! No one is allowed to stop! Go!"
Everyone was stunned. They were dazed and vaguely aware of something. Those who had dismounted immediately got back on their horses. The guard leader was afraid that something might happen to him again, so he gave his horse to others, and then he personally led Xiao Rong forward. People were already very nervous before, but now they were even more nervous. Even the quiet and unchanging night seemed to be stained with a bit of blood from afar.
Song Shuo was also one of the people who were being led on the ride. He stared at Xiao Rong without blinking, and even ignored the bumpy road conditions.
Xiao Rong stared ahead tensely, repeating in his mind, "Don't come, don't come, don't come..."
Just at this critical moment when they were escaping, his body had problems again. Although it was possible that someone was trying to trick Qu Yunmie, he really felt that this was unlikely. What was more likely was that Qu Yunmie was trying to trick himself. …………
The other side of the Huai River.
Qu Yunmie rested his head on his arms and looked at the dim tent.
Xiao Rong sent someone to deliver him an unspoken secret letter, and no one sent him any information after that. He had expected this, but he always felt uneasy.
Because he always felt something was wrong. Usually, before he even spoke, Xiao Rong already knew what he was thinking. And no matter whether he was going to say it or not, Xiao Rong would speak first to stop him, as arrogant as if he was the King of Zhenbei.
As for the fact that he secretly sent someone to deliver the intelligence letter, Xiao Rong did not expose him earlier or later, but only on the third day. Did he really not find out until the third day? Or did he find out a long time ago, but he chose to expose it on this day. …
He couldn't be... trying to use the peace of the past few days to calm him down, and then do those dangerous things after he exposes himself.
Even though Xiao Rong had always emphasized that he would not encounter any danger in Jinling, when the two of them had an argument that day, Xiao Rong still let the cat out of the bag. He also admitted that his life might be threatened during this trip to Jinling.
Xiao Rong is not the type of person who worries easily. If he was really confident, he would never say such a thing.
Qu Yunmie's narrow eyes were always fixed in one position, and he seemed to be in a daze, but after a moment, he suddenly sat up.
He was wearing a dark-colored middle garment. As he walked out, he picked up the robe hanging on the wooden rack and put it on quickly. When he reached the door of the tent, he glanced at the two sets of armor hanging there. Between full armor and light armor, he considered for a while and chose the latter. …
It was already midnight, and Yu Shaocheng was sitting in his military tent, reading a book on military strategy.
The ancients did not sleep for long, about three to four hours. However, Yu Shaocheng was born a weirdo. He only slept for two hours a day.
And it happens every day, but he doesn't feel sleepy. Even if he has nothing to do and is idle the whole day, he won't sleep too much. After two hours, he will definitely open his eyes.
It was quite scary to think about it. Everyone else was asleep, but he was the only one sitting on the bed concentrating. If I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, I could still see his big, bright eyes. …
When he was halfway through reading, Yu Shaocheng heard the king calling him outside. He immediately put the book down and ran out with his weapons.
The fully armed king was already on his horse. He raised his chin to Yu Shaocheng and said, "Go and get a group of men and horses, and follow me across the Huai River to take a look."
Yu Shaocheng: "But didn't Mr. Xiao not let the king go?"
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He was a little unhappy, but Xiao Rong asked him to be polite, so he politely expressed his thoughts: "I feel uneasy, what, do you have any objection?"
Yu Shaocheng: “…………” I dare not, I dare not.
Although Yu Shaocheng looks good and has not caused any trouble during his time in the Zhenbei Army, he is actually more reckless than Zhang Biezhi. Ordinary people know that he cannot cross the Huai River with his status. Being hunted down is a small matter, but it is a big deal to offend Nanyong. However, in front of Yu Shaoxie and others, he will be obedient and say that what his brother said is right and he will not go back. When Yu Shaoxie and others are no longer around, Yu Shaocheng changes his face again.
He also obeyed the order obediently, called a team of elite soldiers to get up, and then took out his beloved horse, with a natural look on his face, saying, "Wherever the king goes, I will go."
