Chapter 98 Report back to the princess: That man’s name is Su Xian!
Twenty miles outside Yingzhou City, a hundred thousand troops were encamped.

General Li, the supreme commander, was still wearing his clothes and armor, and the lights in the tent were left on all night. When he got sleepy, he sat on the big chair and took a nap.

He always remembered the words from the Zhou Diary Room——

Something big may happen tonight, General, please be prepared...

In the middle of the night, General Li was taking a nap when suddenly there was a noise outside the tent and the neighing of horses.

He suddenly woke up, went out of the tent and asked, "What's the fuss about?"

"General Qi, something bad is going on..." A scout rolled over and ran over, panicking and shouting, waking up all the soldiers in the surrounding tents.

Could it be that the major event mentioned by the Zhou Ji office has happened... General Li's heart moved, and he stared and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Something bad has happened...Yingzhou City is blazing with flames. The east gate and tower have collapsed, and thousands of thieves have entered the city along the gaps in the city wall..."

Before the scout could finish speaking, General Li stared blankly and said in shock: "That's bad, the thief must be targeting the princess. And there are only two thousand personal guards around the princess..."

General Li hesitated for a while, then made a decision immediately, and ordered: "Beat the drum, gather the generals!"

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The sound of the war drum is very penetrating, and the dull sound is like knocking on people's hearts.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers initially gathered, and several lieutenants also came to the Chinese army's tent wearing armor.

General Li briefly explained the princess's current situation, and then issued a military order:

"Vice General Zhang, hurry up and gather the three thousand Qingqi, and follow me to kill Yingzhou City first to rescue the princess!"

"When the army is assembled, Vice General Luo will lead another [-] troops to rush for reinforcements, and the remaining armies will stay in camp and wait for orders!"

"..."

The military order has been issued, but Vice General Zhang hesitated and advised: "General, no, the army cannot be mobilized at will without the princess's order!"

General Li's expression changed and he stared at Vice General Zhang.

His aura quickly rose, and finally he pulled out the big knife pinned to his waist, held it with both hands and slashed horizontally, directly chopping off Deputy General Zhang's head.

The generals were astonished.

Then I heard General Li's cold command: "Military orders are like mountains. Whoever dares to disobey will be punished! Why don't you quickly mobilize your troops?"

"Yes!"

"..."

Yingzhou City.

The east city gate and the tower on the gate have been reduced to ruins.

Thousands of thieves, armed with swords and spears, led by a woman, filed through the ruins and entered the city.

The woman was wearing a tight corset that highlighted her slender figure. She had a black cloth on her head and a delicate and beautiful face with an alluring look.

If Su Xian were present, he would definitely exclaim after seeing this girl: "Little fairy purple girl!"

There were more than ten places in the city wall of Yingzhou City that were blown up, but Xiaoxian Zi deliberately chose the East Gate because the Hejian Inn where Princess Lanling stayed was closest to the East Gate.

After entering the city, Xiaoxian Zi and her party encountered some obstacles, such as patrolling government officials and Minzhuang, but they were all eliminated one by one by her bandits.

The road was smooth, and when they reached a place only half a mile away from the Hejian Posthouse, a spy suddenly ran up and reported: "Princess Lanling escaped and was not killed."

"This bitch is really lucky!" Xiaoxian Zi gritted his teeth, looked back at the thousands of bandits, and said, "We entered Yingzhou City to eliminate all the guards and servants around that bitch. Leave no one behind.”

"But since that bitch is still alive, our first priority is to kill that bitch!" Xiaoxian Zi shook the sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"

However, as soon as the bandits took two steps forward, they were met by pairs of soldiers with bright uniforms and armor. They were wearing strong armor, marching neatly, and their military appearance was neat.

"Kill these slaves first!"

Xiaoxian Zifa shouted and charged into the opponent's formation first with a long sword.

Personal maids Jian'er and Bi'er were guarding him.

The bandits screamed, and also raised their knives to kill. The scene suddenly resembled a battlefield, with the sound of weapons clashing and shouts of killing shaking the sky.

After a battle, the bandits gradually gained the upper hand due to their superior numbers.

But at this moment, another spy hurriedly ran over and reported to Xiaoxian Zi: "The army outside the city has been dispatched. Three thousand light horses will ride to the east city gate!"

"What!" Xiaoxian Zi's complexion changed. She did not expect that the army outside the city would react so quickly.

"Miss, three thousand Qingqi have arrived, and I'm afraid tens of thousands of troops will come from behind!" Jian'er said.

"Miss, let's retreat, take advantage of the emptiness in the city, and retreat through the west gate!" Bi'er was a little anxious.

Xiaoxian Zi gritted her teeth, her delicate and beautiful face almost twisted, and said with hatred: "I'm not willing to let that bitch go."

"..."

A quarter of an hour later.

Xiao Xianzi finally led the bandits out from the west gate.

At the same time, three thousand Qingqi just entered from the east city gate.

Under the leadership of General Li, the soldiers quickly rushed to the post house that turned into a sea of ​​fire. General Li breathed a long sigh of relief when he learned that Princess Lanling was safe and sound.

Afterwards, three thousand Qingqi protected the "Sihai Restaurant", and Princess Lanling was no longer in danger.

The big picture is set.

In the box on the second floor.

Princess Lanling looked at the dusty General Li with approval. She first praised him for his achievements, and then punished him for his mistake of "mobilizing the army without permission".

Rewards and punishments are all justified, and General Li is convinced.

Of course, after the rewards and punishments are neutralized, there will still be more rewards.

After dealing with General Li, the official Sima Zuo bowed and said: "Your Highness, Yingzhou City has been destroyed and we cannot wait for long. Please move to the marching camp twenty miles outside the city."

"This palace also has this intention."

Princess Lanling stood up, looked at Sima, who had gray hair on her temples, and said, "Let Sima arrange this matter. We will leave the city overnight."

Sima took the order.

Princess Lanling looked at General Li again and ordered: "Immediately lead all the troops to arrest all the officials of Yingzhou Prefecture and Hejian County. Make sure not one of them escapes."

"The last general takes orders." General Li said in a loud voice.

"After the army arrives, you will go out of the city overnight to hunt down the bandits, and set up roadblocks and fortifications at various important roads and intersections. I will make it difficult for the bandits to move forward!"

"The last general takes orders."

"..."

After General Li strode away, Princess Lanling ordered again:

"Send someone to return to the camp first and notify Nangong Kui, the head of the third arrest of the Prison Department. After the state and county government officials escort the prisoners to the camp, they will be interrogated immediately. The truth of the case must be found out as soon as possible!"

One of the guards ordered to retreat.

Then, the subordinate officer Wang You said with a smile: "Nangong Kui is worthy of being the head of the three arrests of the Prison Division. He is worthy of his name. He has dealt with many state and county officials along the way. As long as they are in Nangong Kui's hands, they will not fail to account for anything." !”

"Yes, this case can be solved before dawn at the earliest and the truth can be found out." The chief clerk agreed.

"..."

Princess Lanling nodded slowly, she also had great trust in Nangong Kui's interrogation ability.

Very happily, the princess and her party set out from Sihai Restaurant and moved to the marching camp twenty miles outside the city.

Before setting off, Princess Lanling looked at Zhou Ji's room and greeted:
"Just follow me. When you get to the marching camp, you can tell me carefully how you discovered the divine thunder buried under the inn!"

"Yes!" Zhou Ji room bowed.

"By the way, I remember that you once said that about the divine thunder...who discovered it?" Princess Lanling's face showed a trace of thought and curiosity, as well as a trace of subtle suspicion.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, that person's name is Su Xian!" Zhou Ji's Office replied.
