Chapter 337 Rong Xia Has Arrived in the Capital (1)

Ban Hua's speed was too fast, and both sides were scolding in full swing. Although she shot the arrow, although she didn't hit the opponent's head, it also hurt the opponent's arm. Ban Hua's movements were like a switch. The ready-made archers of the Rong family's army, under the cover of the shield holders, fired their arrows together.

These people had all attacked Qingsong County with Banhua, so they cooperated very tacitly. From the beginning to the end, they adhered to the principle of never saying a word if they could do it. Even if they talked more, it was to confuse the enemy, which ignited the flames of war.

The imperial army didn't expect the Rong family army to be so insidious, they were obviously cursing, and they shot at the slightest disagreement. This seems a little different from the previous routine?

"What a despicable villain," said the soldier who was hit by the arrow, holding his wound and panting heavily, "I'm here today, absolutely don't let them enter the city!"

War will always be bloody, with the sound of fighting and cries of pain, some people have become red-eyed, and they don't know the pain and tirelessness.

"Five taels of silver will be rewarded for killing five enemies, and fifteen taels of silver will be rewarded for killing ten enemies. If you kill an enemy general, you will be awarded an official or a title. Hurry up, brothers!" Du Jiu carried a belt. The bloody sword rushed to the city gate on horseback, and the door-ramming car hit the city gate again and again. The old city gate, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally lost its ability to resist under the continuous impact and fell down.

The imperial army hiding behind the city gate came out in full force, and the men and horses on both sides fought together, and the entire land outside the city gate was stained red with blood.

Ban Hua also wanted to rush in, but was held back by Rong Xia.

"As a general, don't be impulsive," Rong Xia sat on the horseback, looking at the royal flag on the city wall expressionlessly, "This war is not to the point where you have to end."

Banhua pulled out his sword and clenched it tightly, "I understand."

"Marshal, the gate is broken!" A soldier stopped Changqing Wang who was in a hurry, "Hurry up, the gate can't be guarded for long."

They also did not expect that the city gate of Yongzhou would fall into disrepair for a long time. What are the local officials doing? The mansions have been built magnificently, but there is no money to repair the city gates?

It is useless for the imperial army to be dissatisfied now. The only thing they can do is to protect the marshal from retreating and prevent the rebels from being caught.

General Shi has already been taken away, if the marshal is taken away again, then the imperial army will really be wiped out.

The shouts of killing outside the city shook the sky, King Changqing heard the shouts of killing getting closer, gritted his teeth and said to the people around him: "Get out!"

Yongzhou City can't keep it.

It never occurred to him that Rong Xia had so many means, and the armor and weapons of the rebel army, I'm afraid they had already started preparing, otherwise how could they be better than the imperial army?

Rong Xia is so courageous that she had ambitions so early on.

Although King Changqing hated in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to show off, so he asked his subordinates to simply pack up some things, get on a horse and flee outside. Because they were worried that they would be caught up by the rebels if they ran too slowly along the way, they threw away things that were a little heavier and inconvenient to carry along the way.

They used practical actions to explain what it means to throw away armor and abandon armor.

Rong Xia stepped into the gate of Yongzhou City stepping on a sea of ​​blood, the smell of blood all over the city, and the faint wailing sound made this place look like a hell on earth.

Ban Hua stood beside him, avoiding the blood on the ground, turned to Du Jiu and said, "Take someone to deal with the wounded soldiers, and pay attention to those court soldiers lying on the ground, don't be plotted against."

"Yes." Du Jiu took the order to retreat.

"Hua Hua," Rong Xia looked back at Ban Hua and held her hand, "Just stay by my side all the time, okay?"

"Your heart will not change, and I will live up to it," Banhua adjusted her clothes neatly, "Don't think too much, as long as you don't let me down, I will always be by your side."

"My lord, general," Zhao Zhong rode over on a fast horse, "King Changqing has escaped."

"Escaped?" Ban Hua sneered, "It's only been a few hours, he left the soldiers and ran away without hesitation, he is really a kind and righteous prince."

Zhao Zhong saw the hands tightly held by the two, and said with a dry smile, "Are we going to chase?"

"No need," Rong Xia said, "Temporarily resting in Yongzhou, after half a month, go straight to the imperial city to kill traitors, and go to court!"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhong's heart became hot, and his eyes lit up.

King Changqing fled all the way and hid in Ming Yuzhou, which is very close to the capital, before he felt at ease. But now that he was defeated and fled, he had to give an explanation to the court. He thought for a long time, and asked his subordinates to send gold, silver and jewels to several ministers trusted by Emperor Fengning in the court, and wrote a memorial to Emperor Fengning to plead guilty. Emperor Ning, it was not his ability to lead troops, but a traitor appeared in the barracks and leaked the military plan.

Who is this traitor?

Naturally, it was the prince's uncle, Shi Jin. Anyway, now that Shi Jin is captured, all the faults are borne by him, and King Changqing has no pressure in his heart.

Jiang Luo received the memorial from King Changqing, and with his neighbors listening to him, he really blamed Shi Jin for all his faults. In a fit of rage, he killed the whole family of Shi's family and demoted them all. The Shi family, which was once prosperous for a while, has finally completely declined.

Some people sighed, some sympathized, even those with a normal mind could guess that King Changqing had lied, but His Majesty believed it, so what could they do? In addition, when the Shi family gained power, they offended many people, so now naturally no one is willing to stand up and speak for them.

When the news reached Yongzhou, Shi Jin was copying scriptures in his room.

"My father...was beheaded?" With a hoarse voice, Shi Jin sat on the stool in a daze. The ink on the tip of the pen splashed down and stained the whole paper. But at this moment, who would care about such a piece of paper?

Seeing him like this, Zhao Zhong felt a little sympathetic: "Please mourn."

Shi Jin shook his head blankly, put down his brush, and said to Zhao Zhong: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, I want to be quiet for a while."

"Farewell." Zhao Zhong exited the door, shaking his head and sighing.

Three days later, Shi Jin changed into a clean plain cotton robe, and his hair was tied with a silver crown. His complexion looked fine, but there were bloodshot eyes that couldn't melt away. He found Rong Xia, and made a big gift to him: "I am Shi Jin, and I am willing to work like a dog and a horse for the Marquis of Cheng'an."

Rong Xia looked at the person standing in the sun, and said after a while, "Are you willing?"

"Willingly."

Shi Jin smiled wryly: "I'm alone now, with nothing to worry about. Following Lord Hou, at least I don't have to be condemned by my conscience."

"Mr. Shi is polite," Rong Xia saluted Shi Jin, "I will ask Mr. Shi to take care of you from now on."
