Chapter 70 Rescue (please recommend for collection)

The news of Yang Yushi's rebellion spread to ten, ten to hundreds!

The people of Yanzhou gradually realized that Mr. Yang, who loved the people like a son, was really a jackal in human skin.

It's a pity that they realized it too late, because a bloody massacre was about to take their lives.

Yang Kuo smiled grimly and waved his hands: "All the officers and soldiers obey the orders. The imperial army and the unruly people rebelled, intending to hold His Majesty and the princess hostage. You will kill everyone quickly, but those who disobey will be executed on the spot!"

Several governors defended Yang Kuo and kept a distance from Li Zhi's imperial army, and the fight between the two sides was imminent.

After receiving the military order, the soldiers on the periphery waved butcher knives and spears without hesitation, and began to massacre the people frantically.

The unarmed people became lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the cries, screams, and begging for mercy were endless.

The high platform where Li Zhi was located was surrounded by layers of imperial guards. Under the command of the commander of the imperial guards, they turned their bodies into iron walls to resist the arrows coming from their towers.

Although the imperial army is brave and has shields to resist, the archers on the tower are condescending and occupy the best attacking position. .

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Zhiduan didn't seem to be in any panic, but Eunuch Chen beside him was already pale with fright.

"Princess, the servants will come back as soon as they go!" Cui Daizhao, who was guarding Li Lingyue, bowed slightly.

Li Lingyue knew what she was going to do, so she nodded immediately.

After half a stick of incense, dozens of women in green clothes with short blades suddenly appeared on the tower.

They were all agile and skilled in martial arts. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the archers on the tower were wiped off their necks.

The defense of the east gate tower was successfully taken over by the inner guard of Peony.

But the fighting outside the east gate was extremely brutal. Those red-eyed soldiers chopped down anyone they saw, and the common people were harvested wantonly like wheat ears in autumn.

The thousands of Forbidden Army commanded by the Forbidden Army to protect the people also lost more than half of them in the fight against the outnumbered.

Seeing that he was unable to attack for a long time, Yang Kuo's eyes turned red anxiously, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, whoever can bring His Majesty to this old man will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"

With the heavy reward, the soldiers became even crazier.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Mudan's inner guard was sticking to the only escape route - the east gate.

As long as Li Zhi is willing, he can safely leave from the east gate at any time, but in this way, the people outside the east gate can only be slaughtered.

"Aye, why don't you leave first, and my daughter is waiting for reinforcements here?" Li Lingyue comforted softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are a man of gold, you must not put yourself in danger!" Eunuch Chen hurriedly echoed.

Li Zhi smiled sadly, "Under my feet is the land of the Tang Dynasty. I am on my own land, so there is no reason for me to escape. If I can't even protect my own people, am I worthy of being the emperor!"

Seeing that Li Zhi had made up her mind, Li Lingyue stopped persuading her. After all, in her opinion, Li Zhi still had an ultimate 'bodyguard'. As long as Shi Qingfeng made a move, Li Zhi would be unscathed.

She cast her eyes on Yang Kuo who was in the distance again, Yang Kuo no longer concealed it, and ordered loudly to his opponent:

"Catch the emperor and princess for the old man, so that everyone will have a way to survive. If we let them escape, we will all be imprisoned!"

Good guy, once Yang Kuo uttered these words, it was tantamount to tying everyone to the same boat.

The soldiers who participated in the rebellion had benefited a lot from Yang Kuo, but now they were incited and bewitched by him, and they killed them even harder.

They brandished the big knives and spears in their hands, desperately launching round after round of attacks on the imperial army.

People from the Imperial Army kept falling, and the line of defense was about to collapse...

The next moment, in the distant suburbs, war drums beat and horns sounded everywhere.

A few miles away, a large number of heavy armored cavalry suddenly appeared. These cavalry were all tall and mighty, well equipped, and even their horses were covered with black armor. When the sun shone, they shone dazzlingly.

The black cavalry could not be seen at a glance, and the sound of neat horseshoes made the ground tremble. Under the strong sense of oppression, people seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.

This is the most elite cavalry on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. They have been fighting against the Turks all year round, and they are real killing machines.

More than a dozen flags with the characters "Tang" and "Gao" printed on them fluttered high. Behind the cavalry were tens of thousands of regular troops. They held sharp swords and marched quickly towards the east gate.

"Your Majesty, look quickly, it's the Zhenbei Army! It's the Zhenbei Army coming to escort you!" Eunuch Chen pointed at the cavalry outside, his lips trembling with excitement.

As soon as Li Zhi heard the word "Zhenbei Army", he couldn't sit still immediately, stood up quickly, and looked in the direction of Eunuch Chen's finger, and saw the flag with the word "Gao" hanging in the team, he was sure it was Gao There is no doubt that the Zhenbei Army led by Kan.

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Zhi clapped his hands excitedly, "My Gao Aiqing is finally here!"

"Huh? No!" Li Zhi's face darkened suddenly, and he muttered to himself, "Aren't they at the border? How could they come down to Kunzhou from the south? Who is so courageous to mobilize border officers and soldiers without authorization!"

Li Zhi's face changed drastically. You must know that the military generals at the border of the Tang Dynasty were absolutely not allowed to leave the station without seeing the military amulet of the supreme commander or the emperor's imperial decree, let alone bring troops into the city, otherwise it would be regarded as treason.

Could it be that Gao Kan is also against it?

Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat, he shook his head, not daring to imagine the consequences.

At this moment, Li Lingyue straightened her sleeves, then lifted her skirt, and then went to Li Zhi and knelt down!
Li Zhi only felt a pain in his temples. He now knows a lot about this daughter's temperament, but if his daughter kneels solemnly to him, don't think about it, she must have done something urgent and important without telling him!
Sure enough, Li Lingyue hesitated and said:
"Aye, daughter... my daughter has something to hide from you!"

Li Zhi shook his dragon robe, and said with an angry smile: "Aren't you hiding something from me? You must be the one who tricked Gao Kan into the city of Yanzhou!!"

"Aye, you know everything?" Li Lingyue looked at Li Zhi in disbelief.

Li Zhi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, and reprimanded sharply: "You...you...you bastard, Gao Kan sits at the border gate to resist the Turkic invasion, how can he leave his post without authorization!"

"Aye, hasn't Mobei been pacified long ago, the Turks in the north are nothing to fear!"

yes!It seems to be the reason!

Li Zhi suddenly thought that after Gao Kan captured the Turkic Chebi Khan alive, Mobei had been pacified, and now the main threats to the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty were the Western Turks in the northwest and the Tubo Kingdom in the southwest.

"Then he can't let him lead troops into the city!" Li Zhi didn't want to lose face, so he quibbled and changed the subject: "I'm very curious, how did you invite General Gao to move, my fish charm alone won't work!"

"Hee hee!" Li Lingyue got up and took Li Zhi's arm, and said with a sinister smile, "Isn't there still Aye's edict?"

"When did I come down..." Li Zhi said this, and suddenly yelled at Eunuch Chen: "Eunuch Chen, you are so brave, you dare to issue imperial edicts at will without telling me!!"

Eunuch Chen trembled in fright, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, calm down, how dare the servants have the guts, the princess called up the servants in the middle of the night, saying that it was you, Your Majesty..."

When Eunuch Chen said this, he looked at Li Zhi, but he didn't dare to continue.

Li Zhi rubbed his forehead, he had roughly guessed that his daughter must have fooled Eunuch Chen together.

"Huh!" Li Zhi snorted softly. He couldn't punish his daughter, so he had to let Eunuch Chen come to atone for her sin: "After returning to the palace, go to Yeting Palace and clean the toilet for me for half a month!!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! This slave must be well cleaned!" Eunuch Chen wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and thanked him quickly!
Li Zhi turned to look at Li Lingyue, and asked ferociously, "Say! How many imperial decrees have you taken away?"

Li Lingyue stuck out her tongue and gestured with three fingers.

At the moment, the two edicts of pardoning Liu Cheng's family and mobilizing Gao Kan to save him are truthfully explained.

"There are only two ways. How about another one? What are you going to use it for?" Li Zhi continued to ask.

"Well..." Li Lingyue rubbed her hands together, then laughed and said:
"Aye, let's watch the show first, watch the show first! I'm afraid if I say it now, you can't help but beat me up!"
