Pan Yingying saw that shouting was useless. In a moment of desperation, she donned an old set of clothes, grabbed a few pieces of the soft parts, ran out of the garden, grabbed some mud to smear on her face and ran.
These few days, because the news of the Golden Army's peace talks had spread, the originally dim lights of the Ying Tian had gradually recovered some liveliness. Those who had been hiding outside the city all day long also moved back. The ordinary citizens also went to the night market to enjoy themselves. Only after having tea and refreshments did they all go home and close their doors to sleep peacefully.
Everything was very calm. In the latter half of the night, there was suddenly a fierce battle cry. The courageous residents pushed open the door and looked. They saw that in the direction of the "Imperial Palace" in the southern part of the city, flames were soaring into the sky.
Countless people were running and running on the streets. People were shouting "The Golden Army is here" and "The Golden Army is here" … The wails of women and children, the screams and wails of people trampling on their own feet … The entire Ying Tian had become hell overnight.
When Zhao Deji and the others stepped out of the south gate from the side, they heard the sound of shadows and stumbling. It was the family of Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and the other important personnel, they fell flat on their faces and were in a complete mess. It turned out that Wang Boyan and the others had already heard of this and used their warriors to escort their families away.
Zhao Deji remembered that she did not see him in the hall just now, and shouted angrily: "Wang Boyan!"
Wang Boyan was fat, and gasped as if he was crying, "Your majesty, if you delay it any longer, it'll be too late."
Behind him, the Horseshoe chased after him.
"Shangguan Family …"
"Hurry up and leave."
Behind her, the rest of the people finally caught up with her, but no one dared to blame Shangguan Family for being 'selfish'. Zhao Deji waved his hand, and said, "All of you get on the car quickly."
The pampered Pan Yingying, with no support from others, automatically climbed onto the oxcart prepared by Wang Boyan, and the group of fugitives started to run around in the darkness.
While Hua Rong was living alone in the small courtyard, she heard the commotion outside. She knew that Jin Wushu would never negotiate, so she immediately knew what had happened. She was prepared for this. She pushed open the door and saw that the guards had all run away.
As soon as she rushed out of the door, she saw a group of people rushing towards the direction of the palace. She subconsciously felt that something was wrong and quickly dodged, and sure enough, the leader of the group shouted, "You guys, quickly enter the palace to capture Zhao Deji …"
He spurred his horse forward and extended his hand out towards Hua Rong: "Hua Rong, quickly come with me."
Although she couldn't see clearly in the darkness, when she heard that it was Jin Wushu, she immediately turned and ran.
Jin Wushu had ambushed the city only had around 500 riders, but all these years, the Song Jun was corrupt and had already formed a rule. As long as someone surrendered, the rest of the troops would immediately retreat, even he himself did not expect to capture the Ying Tian so easily.
"Hua Rong, Zhao Deji has already escaped. Now, with my huge army of a hundred thousand attacking him, I will definitely take his life. Quickly follow me …"
"You liar, how could your main force come so fast?"
Hua Rong's prediction was not wrong, Jin Wushu's main force did not rush to the Ying Tian that quickly.
The troops from all four Wing Wang s had not yet been ground into a ball, and were still standing at their respective positions. After the Ying Tian had ascended the throne, they had not truly organized an effective resistance, as they waited wholeheartedly for the peace to be reached.
He seized this opportunity and planned to have the main force of Golden Army surround the city, but the gold soldier was not used to the scorching weather of the Southern Empire, and from time to time, people would get sick.
It was during this period of time that he released the news and desperately negotiated peace. When the morale was slightly higher, he immediately led the troops in pursuit. Knowing that the Song soldiers were cowering in battle, he dispersed his troops and gave chase to three different directions. This way, his marching speed would be greatly increased.
Jin Wushu was smart, the military advisor suggested, telling him to bribe the Ying Tian to defend himself, and to send 500 elite troops, disguised as normal people to sneak into the Ying Tian, and also hiring a large number of rascals. This night, it caused a commotion, and when he shouted "The Golden Army is here" and caused a panic, the five hundred people took the opportunity and entered the palace 'Palace', creating the illusion that the army was suppressing the world.
It was a pity that the Ying Tian still had 10 thousand soldiers, but they were so frightened that they retreated without fighting.
Seeing her hesitation, Jin Wushu ran forward and shouted: "Zhao Deji escaped by himself. He did not care about your life, why do you need to work so hard for him?"
Hua Rong had never expected Zhao Deji to care about his life or death, nor was she going to continue to work for him. She only knew that if she fell into Jin Wushu's hands again, she would definitely be brought back to the Shang Jing, never to rise again.
"Hua Rong, Song Kingdom is dead, quickly come with me. I promise to make you queen... "
"No!"
"Hua Rong..."
When the soldiers rushed over, Hua Rong was in a panic and did not care about where she was going, riding on her horses frantically, Jin Wushu had caught up with her, causing her to sink into the sea of people, causing Golden Army to be cut off from the crowd, and in that moment, the entire city was thrown into a state of chaos.
"Hua Rong..."
Jin Wushu shouted hoarsely, but where could he find traces of her?
She rushed along with the refugees. It was a dark night with no moonlight, so she couldn't tell north, south, east, or west. The refugees were scattered all over the place.
However, the sounds of the Golden Army chasing after him became louder and louder. She suspected that the Golden Army's main forces were rushing over, and did not dare to stay for long, so after identifying the direction, she turned her horse and headed southeast, because she knew that Yue Pengju would definitely lead the army and protect the carriage.
Her horse galloped at full speed until midnight, only to discover that she had already entered a dense forest. It was as if she had lost her way and was unable to get out. She pulled on the reins, soaked with sweat, uncertain for a moment whether to go back the way she had come or to wait or to move on.
With Zong Ze's death, the royal army that the Song Kingdom s had gathered with much difficulty immediately became a pile of loose sand. When they met the Golden Army, either they fled to preserve their strength, they did not even fight head-on, they only wanted to escort their own family's little possessions to escape.
When they heard that Yue Pengju was rushing back with his army, they did not dare to stay, and had already plundered the place.
Yue Pengju rushed back into the city. The small courtyard that he used to live in had long been emptied.
He yelled, "Sister, sister, where are you?"
There was only the sound of the night echoing in the sky, where could Hua Rong's shadow be seen?
He was about to turn around and leave when he saw something fall from the ground. It was a very ordinary hairpin, and it was pointing towards the southeast. He understood that this was something left behind by Hua Rong and was extremely happy. He immediately went out to chase after it.
In the middle of the night, it suddenly started to rain, and the summer rain was pouring down. Hua Rong had nowhere to hide, and in her panic, she ran up a small path. After running for some time, she suddenly heard a "heh heh!" in front of her. She realized that something was wrong and turned her horse around to retreat.
They were the three thousand men led by Jin Wushu's subordinate, General Han. Han Chang was a Southerner and was familiar with the topography of the south. As they were rushing, they received permission from the traitors and the officials stationed at one side, thus, they ran in front to support Jin Wushu. With the convergence of the two sides, a great battle ensued, and Jin Wushu who had already left the city immediately turned back and went back to chase after Zhao Deji.
Although it was a storm, Jin Wushu could still hear the people in front of him. He shouted: "Catch up, perhaps it's Zhao Deji's group."
Hua Rong increased her galloping speed, but unfortunately, the road was slippery from the rain. The horses could not even open their eyes due to the rain, and were unable to move for a long while. Her heart was burning with anxiety, and at this moment, she heard a wave of Horseshoe s in front of her.
Jin Si's leg slipped and he let out a sorrowful cry. Jin Wushu heard the sound and rejoiced, "There's someone in front, Jin Si is in front."
The rain had already lessened a little, but the Horseshoe was actually more and more anxious. Attacking from the front and the back, there was no other way, Hua Rong tightly gripped onto her bow and arrow, and had already fallen into complete despair. She shouted towards the sky: "Pengju, where are you …"
"Elder sister, elder sister …"
She had been crying out in despair, but it seemed as if she had been mistaken and had heard someone call out to her so clearly. She used all her strength to shake her head, but the voice was already getting closer. "Big sister, where are you …"
She patted the horse's back and quickly rushed over. "Pengju, it's me …"
It was Yue Pengju leading her men and chasing towards the general direction she pointed out. was desperate to rescue them. Even though he knew that there might be an ambush ahead of them, he still ran frantically, until in the end, only a dozen people followed along. The rest, stayed behind and followed Zhang Xian.
At this time, Jin Wushu also heard her shout, and then saw that Yue Pengju was here, which was the perfect opportunity to take him down in one go. He raised his voice and said: "Hua Rong, Yue Pengju, you guys can't escape anymore …"
"gold soldier is here, gold soldier is here... "Pengju, quickly turn around …"
At this time, the rain had stopped and Yue Pengju was no longer able to turn around. Behind him, Jin Wushu's army had already caught up. The two sides immediately engaged in a close combat. The Golden Army had a lot of people, so even though the ten over Song Jun s were all one-on-one, they were all quickly annihilated.
Han Chang was also one of the great generals, after hearing Yue Pengju's name, he already had the intention to fight him, and seeing that he was alone, and that the chance to do so had come, if he could hold onto Yue Pengju, wouldn't he be able to become famous throughout the world?
Without waiting for Jin Wushu's orders, he lifted his mace and came to fight Yue Pengju.
Yue Pengju waved his spear to protect Hua Rong, he knew that she was not his match today, so he might as well fight and escape, how could Jin Wushu allow him to escape? He would catch up to his before he could finish his sentence.
"Peng Ju …"
"Elder sister, quickly leave …"
Seeing the two of them running away, Jin Wushu shouted: "Hua Rong, keep him alive, Yue Pengju will not stop until she dies."
With this order, Yue Pengju's situation became even more critical. As Hua Rong ran in front, her heart almost jumped out, but she was afraid that Yue Pengju would be distracted, so he did not dare to turn around and call him. She only ran, knowing that the further she escaped, the less pressure Peng Quan would have.
He then went back into the dense forest in front of him. Hua Rong had gotten lost here, and now that she had nowhere else to go, she spurred her horse to rush in, only to discover that the forest was too dense for him to pass.
She pondered for a moment, then jumped down from the horse. Yue Pengju had already jumped down from the horse before her, grabbed her hand and rushed in.
When Jin Wushu and the others caught up, there were only two war horses left. Ginns raised his head and whined, as if he had recognized his former master.
Everyone dismounted from their horses, lit torches, and headed into the dense forest.
