Chapter 30 - Identification
In the darkness, the middle-aged man was the first to rush out. Suddenly, countless Liu's soldiers surged forward, and with a loud laugh, he pushed his palms forward!
With the unceasing "bang bang" sound, the Liu's soldiers s who were charging at them fell backwards one after another! With just two palm strikes, a large empty space appeared in front of him!
The middle-aged man walked forward. On the other side, Liu's soldiers didn't even have time to react before the middle-aged man had already pulled a few Liu's soldiers s down from their horses.
The lively youth had already jumped onto the other horse, Li Gang was already on the horse, he anxiously looked in the direction of Zhao Chen, only to see wooden youth's body soaring up like a big bird, bringing Zhao Chen to the other horse!
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man shouted as he galloped his horse forward. The young man, Li Gang, wooden youth and Zhao Chen galloped their horses to follow him.
The cold wind whistled as the middle-aged man rushed towards them, "Old man, why are they chasing after you?"
Li Gang said: "I don't know the reason either!"
In fact, he had already guessed the reason behind this. With his rich experience in political battles, he had felt that something was amiss with the Emperor Kang in the afternoon. At night, when he was inside the temple, he found out from the three of them that the news of the crown prince's escape was not known to him, which made him feel even weirder! Until this moment, he had long since affirmed Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang's wolfish ambitions! Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang must have found out about Zhao Chen's identity, so he made Liu Guangshi chase after him!
His expression was calm, but the rage in his eyes could not be hidden!
"Your identities are not simple!" wooden youth suddenly said.
"Oh?" Li Gang was startled.
"This child, the sword in his hand is …" The wooden youth seemed to have already recognized the Dragon Abyss Sword. He was about to continue speaking, his expression suddenly became serious as he looked into the distance.
"Second brother, what's wrong?" The lively young man hurriedly said.
"Things are not going well, we are surrounded!" wooden youth said as he regained his senses.
"So many soldiers and horses! I'm afraid there are more than 3000 of them!" At this moment, the middle-aged man also said in disbelief.
Some of them were in the front, some in the back, and some on the left and right, as they ran into the encirclement of the Liu Jiajia.
"I'm really sorry for dragging the three of you down!" Li Gang sighed softly and said.
"It's nothing, Liu Jiajia wants to bully the elderly and children, we can't watch any longer, we naturally have to rescue you guys!" The middle-aged man said.
"This old man has something to request of the three of you!" Li Gang looked at Zhao Chen and said fiercely.
"What is it?" The middle-aged man said.
"Later on, you all don't have to worry about this old one, even if I'm killed by them it doesn't matter! This old one is only begging the three of you to bring this child out. This child's identity is not simple, it is related to the Song Dynasty and the lands. Li Gang clenched his teeth and said.
"Teacher!" "No way!" Zhao Chen said loudly.
In this past month, Zhao Chen had already addressed Li Gang as "teacher". He truly and sincerely treated Li Gang as his teacher! In this one month, Li Gang had taught him countless of knowledge. More importantly, with Li Gang by his side to comfort and encourage him, he would not collapse mentally! At this moment of danger, Li Gang basically did not care about himself, but only Zhao Chen. This made Zhao Chen feel really touched.
"Elder, don't worry. I will do my best to bring him out!" The middle-aged man only thought that it was because his elder cherished his junior, so he nodded.
After that, wooden youth's expression became more and more shocked, and more and more incredulous. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but just at this moment, whistling sounds of "sou sou" came from ahead. wooden youth was shocked, and shouted: "Dismount!"
He immediately pulled Zhao Chen off his horse, the middle-aged man pulled Li Gang off his horse, the lively youth himself jumped off his horse!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sharp arrows pierced the air continuously, it was unknown how many arrows landed there, many of them were actually the strongest brachial arch in the army of Song Dynasty! The brachial arch's penetrating power was extremely strong. In just a moment, all the horses had collapsed onto the ground! These horses were like big hedgehogs, their bodies covered in dense arrows!
Zhao Chen, Li Gang had dodged the wave of attacks! Unfortunately, soon enough, countless cavalrymen surrounded them! The leader was an exceptionally handsome Young Generals. If it wasn't Liu Guangshi, who else could it be?
Liu Guangshi led a few thousand cavalrymen and surrounded the few of them. He did not care about those three people at all, as his gaze looked at Li Gang first, then at Zhao Chen, and finally let out a long laugh!
"Lord Li, how have you been?" Liu Guangshi's voice sounded out.
"Liu Guangshi, so it's you!" Li Gang looked around at his surroundings, thinking that the odds were against him! There were simply too many cavalrymen in the surrounding area, and it seemed like there were more and more cavalrymen coming their way! Although the three people beside him were powerful, it was impossible for them to defeat so many cavalrymen! It would be extremely difficult for him to protect his own life and the life of the crown prince! It did not matter if he died here, but if the crown prince died here, he did not know how to account to the tens of thousands of people in the world, to the previous monarch!
His heart was filled with extreme grief and indignation. He had worked so hard from Kaifeng all the way here, originally wanting to rely on the Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang. Who knew that he would have to face such a situation!
There were many traitors in this world, including Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan, and now Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang, Liu Guangshi and the others!
Even if he were to die here today, he wasn't willing to die a useless death! Before he died, he had to maintain his integrity!
Thinking about that, Li Gang fiercely spat at the ground!
"Master Li actually escaped from the Kaifeng City, he's really not simple!" Liu Guangshi laughed.
The three people by the side were extremely nervous, the three of them were just thinking of a way to escape, and upon hearing Liu Guangshi's voice, the three of them were startled, and the middle-aged man asked: "Master Li? Are you a minister in the court? "
Li Gang nodded, and said: "I am Li Gang, and was once the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty! "When the city is in ruins, I was assistant minister of the military!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The three people by the side were stunned, they had never dreamed that the old man in front of them was Li Gang!
During the era of transition in the Southern Northern Song Dynasty, before Yue Fei and Han Shizhong had risen to prominence, Li Gang had been the most famous person in the world as opposed to the Golden Name Chen! In this world, there was no one who could be compared with Li Gang! who would have thought that Li Gang would actually appear in front of them!
"Liu Guangshi, you came here late at night to kill us all! Was it your idea alone, or was it the Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang's idea? " Li Gang did not have time to care about the three people beside him, as he coldly spoke while looking at Liu Guangshi.
Hearing this, the three people at the side were even more shocked. They never would have thought that the Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang would actually want to kill the world-famous Li Gang!
"I, Liu Guangshi am just a small general, how would I dare to kill Master Li? What's more, Lord Li has His Highness by his side! I am here to receive the orders from the His Royal Highness! " Liu Guangshi laughed.
"Damn it!" Emperor Kang is unscrupulous! Even the current crown prince dares to kill us? " Li Gang clenched his teeth and said.
"What?" Your Highness the Crown Prince! " The three of them were stunned as they looked at Zhao Chen in a daze!
The soldiers of the Liu Jiajia were also shocked, they could not even dream that the young man in the middle was the current Crown Prince! Thinking that they actually wanted to kill the crown prince, many of the soldiers from Liu Jiajia could not help but retreat.
"What are you all standing around for? You are all soldiers of my Liu Jiajia, you eat from me and drink from me, not from the imperial government! Now that I have followed Emperor Kang, you all are also its subordinates! Emperor Kang has the ability to kill the crown prince, so you should kill the crown prince! When the Emperor Kang ascends the throne to become emperor in the future, our Liu Jiajia will also be prosperous and eternal! " Liu Guangshi swept her eyes across her surroundings, and said coldly.
The soldiers of the Liu Jiajia only went into an uproar for a moment, but quickly recovered to their normal state! The private army system in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty was not small. The army was the private army of generals, not the imperial court, not the country! The army would only listen to the orders of the generals, and would often turn a deaf ear to the orders of the imperial court and the country! Especially what Liu Guangshi had brought out were some of the most loyal soldiers! These soldiers had followed Liu Guangshi and his son for many years, they would definitely not disobey Liu Guangshi's orders!
"Your highness, you should just come out obediently, right?" Liu Guangshi laughed.
Zhao Chen walked out from behind Li Gang, and coldly looked at him.
"Aren't you afraid, your highness?" Liu Guangshi said in surprise when he saw Zhao Chen's composed expression.
"With so many of you here, I won't be able to escape death! Since death is inevitable, what is there to be afraid of? " Zhao Chen said indifferently.
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Liu Guangshi became even more surprised.
"As expected of the's Lord of Storage, stay calm in the face of danger! Unfortunately, you will still die here today! If you do not die, how will the His Royal Highness ascend to the throne? Therefore, this lowly general can only kill you! " After a while, Liu Guangshi laughed.
"I was just leaving first! I'm afraid that in a few days, I will meet with General Liu in the Underworld! " Zhao Chen said.
His mind raced as he tried to think of a way to escape! The truth was that his back was already soaked, but at this moment, his heart was more and more calm! Right now, he was saying "we will meet in the Underworld in a few days", but when Liu Guangshi asked him what his answer was, he couldn't think of anything for a while! As a result, he was drenched in cold sweat!
"Oh? What do you mean? " Liu Guangshi said.
"I am the crown prince of the current dynasty. The world knows me well... Today, you came here to kill me. Although this matter is hidden, it will be known sooner or later. Especially with so many soldiers following you. Can you guarantee that none of these soldiers will leak the news? When the news of you killing the crown prince was leaked out, how could the people of the world tolerate you? Even Emperor Kang would have to thank the heavens by killing you! At that time, the Emperor Kang will blame all of it on you. Even after I kill you, he can still be emperor without any worries, but you want to meet me in the Underworld! Isn't that so? "
After saying all that, Zhao Chen finally stopped! The cold wind blew, causing Zhao Chen to feel cold all over! However, he was finally relieved.
Liu Guangshi was stunned!
