Chapter 253: Storm City Breaks

"rouge!"

"How did you escape?"

"Shh!" Huo Qing hurriedly pulled Yanzhi and hid in the shadow, "How could you appear here?"

"I took a lot of effort to find it. I was worried that you would be hungry, so I brought some food to you." Yanzhi pointed to the food box in his hand.

"Yanzhi, thank you so much!" Duan Lang was really hungry after Yanzhi said this.

"It's not the time to eat now! I heard from me that we must escape as soon as possible and go to Mobei to find the general."

"Go back to Mobei?" The first thing that Xuan Shaoning appeared in Yanzhi's mind was that she was not sure whether he was in Mobei, but she believed that as long as the place where King Yu was, he would definitely be there. "But you have to cooperate with the court's investigation now. Isn't your escape at this time a charge for yourself?"

"We have already figured out this point, and now we don't have time to explain it to you. We will be escorted to Beijing tomorrow morning, and then it is very likely that the heavens and man will be separated forever. We must rely on ourselves to prove our innocence!"

Huo Qing was excited and his whole body was trembling. In Duan Lang's opinion, he was afraid, but only Huo Qing knew the real reason.

"Then... I'll go with you!"

"Roge, we are on the road to escape, you don't have to suffer with us!"

"In this military camp, I only have you friends. If you are gone, I don't need to stay. In short, I will follow wherever you go!"

Huo Qing looked around carefully, worried that the more he would drag on, the greater the danger, so he had to make a decision on behalf of the other two.

"Okay, let's go!"

The south gate of Fengbo City faced the enemy's attack directly, and a gap had collapsed at this moment. Shen Yongnian sent heavy troops to guard it; the north gate, as the rear route of the Liang army, seemed much thinner.

Huo Qing and his group planned to use the breakthrough point from the North Gate, but then again, even if there is insufficient guards, the guards are still there. Given the tense battle situation, just a little noise will attract a large army. At that time, the four people will fight against an army, which is tantamount to seeking death.

"They are all our robes, so we can't hurt people, right? Then our sins will be even greater!" Duan Lang whispered.

"I'll lead them away, and then you find the opportunity and sneak out."

"Huo Qing!" Ling Feiyan grabbed him and wanted to stop him, but Huo Qing was determined to "Believe me, you can!"

Huo Qing immediately ran out of the darkness and deliberately ran to the city gate to expose himself to the guards. Then he shouted "Oh no!" and then ran away. Huo Qing's behavior was enough to attract the attention of the guards. As the lowest-level soldiers, they actually did not know the imperial edict of the court, but they still had to interrogate the people who saw suspicious signs.

Huo Qing attracted several guards to chase him

He drove himself away, leaving only two guards at the city gate. Yanzhi immediately walked out with a food basket. She had been in the army for so long that almost all the soldiers knew her.

"Miss Rouge, why are you here?"

Yanzhi put down the food basket and acted as if she wanted to take out the food. The two guards finally surrounded him curiously. Duan Lang and Ling Feiyan took the opportunity to get around the two guards and quickly took action to put them down.

"What should I do if Huo Qing?"

The three of them looked into the darkness in the distance, but did not see Huo Qing's figure. Instead, they saw the guards approaching quickly. The three of them had no choice but to escape first.

After confirming that the three of them had successfully escaped, Huo Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a burst of apology surged in his heart. Doing so was to save their lives, and at the same time it pushed them into a situation where it was difficult to turn back. Perhaps from tonight, he and them would become two people.

"You must forgive me for the expedient approach! I believe you will not be a rebel party. The truth will always be revealed, and we will be able to reunite when the time comes!"

Escaped by a few people was simply harmless for the situation, because what was placed in front of Shen Yongnian was a more urgent war. Shortly after Duan Lang and others sneaked out of the city, the coalition forces of Xiliang and Xia Tang launched the latest round of attacks.

This time, no Xuanjia Army could help. Almost everyone had already died in the battlefield, and the remaining people were exhausted. The city was broken and the enemy entered. The Liang army had no choice but to give up Fengbo City and retreat to the rear. During the transfer, there was an army missing from the few remaining troops. They did not intend to follow the large army, but instead turned toward the north of the desert while the night was shining.

"Fengbo City is lost! I want them to be buried with you! I will pass on my oral order to imprison all the generals!"

Emperor Liang had only been more than a month since he ascended the throne. The failure of Fengbo City was the biggest failure he had faced since he ascended the throne. As Emperor Liang, who had been through conspiracy, full of thorns, and had gone through a lot of hardships to ascend the throne, this failure was not the biggest setback.

The location of Fengbo City is so important. It is the last castle on the southeast front of the Liang Dynasty. Once Fengbo City is captured, it means that the southeast, which occupies nearly 30% of the Liang Dynasty's land area, completely fell. Crossing Fengbo City and passing through the open forest valley, you can reach the middle of the Liang Dynasty's land, where there are more than a dozen cities such as Boerozhou, Jingzhou, and Xiangzhou. These cities jointly protect the capital of the Liang Dynasty.

"Stop the anger!"

"Stop the anger? How do you calm me down? The enemy is about to hit my capital!"

"In order to correct external troubles, we must first eliminate internal troubles. The emperor must solve the Qingshan rebel party as soon as possible and call on the world to help the king." Shen Qianji gave advice without missing the opportunity.

Emperor Liang stared at Shen Qianji, and I have to say that the person in front of me has a high degree of overlap with his ideas in many things, and the plan is the safest at the moment.

"It is not only necessary to completely eradicate the rebellious party, but also to pay attention to it.

The time is almost the same for a new civil servant rank." Emperor Liang summoned important officials in the court to complete the discussion, and issued an edict the next day: Qingshan's crime of rebellion cannot be forgiven, and those who have been found guilty will be punished on a date.

Therefore, the biggest case of rebellion after the new Emperor Liang ascended the throne was closed in just three days. Through the review of the three judicial departments, a total of twelve civil officials involved in rebellion and a number of rebellion parties in Qingshan Academy were detected.

The end of July was the hottest day of the Liang Dynasty. On this day, the Mingtai was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Joining in the fun was the eternal hobby of the people, especially killing people on the Mingtai, which some people watched.

The Mingtai is a high platform built by Taizu of the Liang Dynasty on the west side of the imperial city when it was founded. There are 18 steps in total, but these steps extend downward from the ground. People can see the execution platform at the bottom when standing at the entrance of the platform, with the intention of entering the eighteen levels of hell.

Judging from the intention of the Mingtai, we can guess that this place is not used to kill ordinary prisoners, but is specially built for dealing with criminals with great crimes. Usculptoring power and treason is naturally the first-class crime, and the criminals in the rebellious party case will be executed here.

The official in charge was Chen Qianji, the minister of Dali Temple. Yes, Chen Qianji is no longer the minister of Dali Temple. He has been promoted by Emperor Liang to the minister of Dali Temple. He was the top leader of Dali Temple. In addition to him, many other ministers have been promoted, and they are not mentioned one by one.

When prisoners were shackled and locked into the underworld, they were rushed into the dark platform like livestock, the originally noisy crowd became quiet. The people's eyes were all sharp, and they were like a mirror in their hearts. Among these prisoners, there were the good officials they thought. Seeing these good officials being asked to be executed, many people felt uncomfortable.

The rusty shackles rubbed across the pitch-black stone steps, and the prisoners' dirty prison uniforms were covered with brown hemp ropes. Perhaps to prevent the prisoners who were questioned and slaughtered in the past, today's prisoners were blocked, and they could only convey their last emotions through their eyes.

At the forefront of the team was Liao Zhen. After all, he was the highest-ranking prisoner among these prisoners. He was over 50 years old and still had a strong and powerful way when he walked, and he was not slow at all because of his age and shackles. Liao Zhen knew that he would have such a day sooner or later, but he was still unwilling to be dead like this. What he was unwilling to be was that his ambitions had no chance to be displayed. What he was unwilling to be in the hands of these people was unwilling to be... There were too many unwilling things. Thinking of this, Liao Zhen smiled like a self-deprecatingly.

Walking behind the team was Ye Kai. Even though his rope was tied and his mouth was blocked, his arrogant look was still not changed at all. When he walked past the crowd, he nodded and smiled at the people. People were wondering whether this was to die generously or to be confused, but there was one person who would never doubt it. Ye Kai repeatedly looked around the crowd, and finally finally touched her eyes as he wished. When he saw her, Ye Kai's first reaction was to shake his head repeatedly.
