Li Xuan looked at the fire and then at Chen Ji.

Chen Ji previously said that Guyuan was a bureau set up by someone for the Tiance Army, but he did not believe it.

It is only because half of the people in Guyuan City were slaughtered and countless border troops were killed or injured, how cruel the chess holders had to set up this "dead-head game"?

In today's era, the capital city has a population of one million, Luocheng has 200,000, and Guyuan has at least 130,000 to 140,000. Half of the city's people can only have tens of thousands of lives!

How vicious and vicious!

However, now, Li Xuan watched the fire rising from the city gate, and the rock-solid Guyuan City collapsed, blocking all the retreat of the Tiance Army. He had to believe it.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Chen Ji. No matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but say in a hurry: "Who set up this? What kind of backing up do they have? Which army of armored infantry I saw before? How dare you take the world's most ruthlessness and use tens of thousands of people as bait?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "Not stop."

Li Xuan was stunned: "What does it mean?"

Chen Ji whispered: "The bait is not only the people, but also the granary, the military, the well water... the prince."

No wonder the court suddenly sent the prince to Guyuan with a military army of ceremonial wars that had never fought before; no wonder Bailong wanted to be transferred and cut off the prince's staff; no wonder the Tiance army could enter the secret passage of the inn; no wonder the prince could be found even when hiding in the cellar.

Just because the prince is the last link in the letter of fame! Without the prince, how could the Tiance Army enter the ambush?

Only in this way can it make sense.

At this time, another roar sounded, and even the East City Gate was destroyed by firearms.

Amid the flames and roars, the war horses of the Tiance Army were so frightened that they walked around.

Yuan Zhen sat down on the war horse and seemed to ask someone to stand up, almost lifting him off.

The commander of the Tiance Army was the second-rank Jing Chaozheng, and Yuan Zhen was just an ordinary person. How could he control a frightened war horse? Fortunately, a soldier came close to him, pulled the reins tightly, and pulled the war horse back to his original position.

As he finished speaking, there were dense shouts of killing from the north. A group of armored infantry hiding in the city early held shields and swords in one hand, and counterattacked from the line of Xuwei Lane to the south.

A soldier said anxiously: "It's an ambush, escort the commander away!"

Yuan Zhen whipped his face with a whip: "What a panic? Those who disrupt our morale will be killed!"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the north for a long time, then looked at the prince and sneered: "What a big deal, he used half of the city's people and the national reserves of the dynasty as bait. Let me ask you, do you know this?"

The prince was silent.

Yuan Zhen laughed: "So you don't know either! The Southern Dynasty literati were really cruel. In the name of family and country justice, he stole the country. Now even the crown prince of a country regards a country as a plaything in his palm! If the Emperor Taizu of the Zhu family sat up from the coffin, he would be afraid that he would kill these Confucian literati completely!"

A confidant came over and whispered, "Master, are we leaving or staying?"

Yuan Zhen said in a deep voice: "They blew up the South City Gate and the East City Gate just to force us to escape from the West Gate. I guess there is still an ambush waiting there. Pass the military order and kill the north! The Southern Military Information Department came from news that the three camps of Ningchao are all in Chongli Pass. I want to see what Hu Junxian uses to kill my Tiance Army!"

After the words were finished, the flag order was passed on layer by layer. The main force of the Tiance Army's central army immediately broke into pieces, like a closed fan suddenly opened, spreading towards the north.

Li Xuan saw that the prince and others were taken away by the Iron Cavalry of the Tiance Army, and immediately said anxiously: "I want to save the prince. If you don't want to take risks, please stay here..."

He turned his head and suddenly found that Chen Ji had already set off.

While using the hem of clothes to clean his cheeks, Chen Ji touched a Tien Ce cavalry.

Just as another roar of firearms sounded, he suddenly jumped up and fell lightly behind the other party's saddle, covering his mouth and twisting the other party's neck.

He threw the body of the Tiance Army at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan hurriedly took it in his arms, and even if he was very careful, he could not cover the friction of the body's armor. Someone heard the sound and immediately looked alert. Then he saw Chen Ji wearing a black pheasant-tailed helmet and a armor of the Tiance Army, so he turned back.

Chen Ji rode his horse into the Tiance army and marched north along with the Guards.

...

...

Chen Ji mingled in the team and observed silently.

The Tiance army was divided into ranks by the pheasant tail above the head. Ordinary soldiers had no pheasant tail above the head. The archer and the guard camp. The centurion wore a black pheasant tail, the thousand men wore a long pheasant tail, a short pheasant tail, and the "Wanhu Mansion" wore a long pheasant tail and two short pheasant tails.

Chen Ji saw Yuan Zhen steering forward slowly, and the elite scouts kept reporting various military information, and then left with a new flag order.

The infantry of the Tiance Army escorted the prince and others behind Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen was firmly guarded by the guard camp. Chen Ji only took a look and then moved his eyes away and stopped inquiring, so as not to cause suspicion.

He looked at a back beside Yuan Zhen, the shopkeeper of Longmen Inn.

The other party had already put on a suit of Tiance Army armor and wore a long pheasant tail on his head, and his status was already very high.

Just as Chen Ji looked at him secretly, the shopkeeper seemed to notice it and slowly turned his head.

In the swaying fire, Chen Ji saw the word "subside" on his left cheek, his eyes were cold and murderous intent, so how could he look like the former inn shopkeeper?

He lowered his head while the other party was swaying, and followed silently in the team.

The shopkeeper was suspicious and seemed to be trying to turn around to check, but he saw several scouts coming back together to report on the military situation.

"Reported, there are elite boys on the street of Kule, who are fighting against the Pioneer Camp, with 500 people!"

"Reported, there are elite boys moving westward on the last street, with 500 people!"

Yuan Zhen sat down and frowned and said, "Which elite infantry have been discovered? The eleventh or the twelfth route?"

He whispered: "Master, twelve ways."

The shouts of killing on the front line are getting louder and louder, and from time to time there are roaring firearms, as if the border troops are killing more and more.

Yuan Zhen looked at the dark night and his face couldn't help but be a little serious: "Where did Hu Junxian change so many people? Send the main force of the central army to set up pockets in Xuwei Lane and let them in!"

At this time, another scout rushed back, knelt on one knee outside Yuan Zhen's steps, and whispered: "Report, Yuan Chong, the centurion in Longmen Inn, died and his entire army was wiped out!"

Hearing the four words of Longmen Inn, the shopkeeper suddenly looked back and didn't care about peeking at his gaze before.

Yuan Zhen waved to his back lightly, and the guard camp immediately made way and allowed the shopkeeper to answer within ten steps.

Yuan Zhen did not look at the shopkeeper, but only looked ahead and asked calmly: "I sent Yuan Chong to you because I got your news. Now that Yuan Chong is dead, what are you going to explain?"

While speaking, the guard camp next to the shopkeeper suddenly attacked. Five or six people grabbed his arm and pressed him down to kneel down.

The shopkeeper raised his head and said loudly: "Report to the Grand Marshal, I have reported that there are guards of the Yulin Army in the inn, and there is also a Yulin Army commander next to the prince. Now the prince is here, so you can face it."

Yuan Zhen nodded and waved to his back without looking back. Someone from the guard camp immediately took the prince and others forward.

Along the way, Zhang Zheng and Zhang Xia struggled hard, but to no avail.

Everyone stopped ten steps away from Yuan Zhen, and only heard Yuan Zhen ask, "I ask, you answer, those who can answer well can survive."

Chen Wenxiao hurriedly said, "Master, I'll answer!"

Yuan Zhen curled his lips slightly: "Have you ever met my Tiance Army Pioneer Camp in the inn?"

Chen Wenxiao nodded like a garlic: "I met it. They came out of the secret passage of the inn and killed all the dozens of forest soldiers left behind inn. We were blocked upstairs and almost died."

Yuan Zhen turned his head and said, "Since you met, why are you clean and you don't even have blood on your body? How did you escape to Taohuaifang?"

Chen Wenxiao explained: "It was Chen at that time..."

Halfway through his words, Chen Wenzong struggled like crazy: "Stop talking, beast!"

Yuan Zhen laughed: "Who is this person?"

Chen Wenxiao lowered his head and avoided Chen Wenzong's gaze: "This is my legitimate brother, Chen Wenzong."

Yuan Zhen waved his hand and said, "Clog this guy's mouth, you continue talking."

However, at this moment, Xiaoman whispered: "I'm going to say it!"

Yuan Zhen asked with a smile, "Oh? Who are you?"

Xiaoman struggled to step forward two steps: "I am the maid of the Chen family. As long as you give me a way out, I will say everything..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaoman suddenly broke away from the nearby guard camp and slapped Chen Wenxiao's temple beside him.

This palm was like wind and thunder, but it was barely stopped in front of Chen Wenxiao's temple and was caught by a thick palm.

A burly black shadow enveloped Xiaoman. She looked up in shock and found that a thousand men beside Yuan Zhen came close to stop her like a ghost.

The thousand-man leader smiled and said, "You dare to play such a trick in front of the general, and you will be looking for death."

Yuan Zhen said calmly: "It's okay, someone will stop him to have a little credibility when he speaks, and let him continue talking."

Chen Wenxiao said, "My Chen family's concubine Chen Ji was blocking the stairs at that time, so that your Pioneer Camp could not go upstairs to capture the prince. Then we hid on the roof of the inn. When we got down again, he and this little maid had killed all the Pioneer Camp!"

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but be stunned: "Is they all killed? They both?"

He looked at the shopkeeper coldly: "Why didn't you mention these two?"

However, Yuan Zhen found that the shopkeeper was stunned and muttered to himself: "I saw him go out with my own eyes in the morning, how could he be in the inn..."

Chen Wenxiao added from the side: "Report to the general, my gangster did leave the door in the morning and only came back after the border army opened the city gate."

Yuan Zhen nodded and sneered at the shopkeeper: "Even if he goes out, you should report it in detail. Why don't you report it if you know it?"

But the shopkeeper ignored him and looked at Chen Wenxiao: "Where is Chen Ji, why is he not among you?"

Chen Wenxiao said in shock: "He put us in the cellar and left. I don't know where he went."

Yuan Zhen asked condescendingly: "What is the state of the Chen family's concubine's son? Do you have any weaknesses?"

Just as Chen Wenxiao was about to speak, the shopkeeper suddenly knelt on the ground and walked forward and said to Yuan Zhen: "Master, he is a humble position and is not good at doing things. He missed such a critical news and is willing to be punished."

When the shopkeeper was only seven steps away from Yuan Zhen, he suddenly suddenly rose up and rushed towards Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen's expression did not change, and he watched the shopkeeper get closer and closer. The guard camp blocked a wall of humans layer by layer in front of him. The commander who was catching Xiaoman kicked Xiaoman away and flashed back to defense.

The shopkeeper and the commander fought like thunder. The wind swept across the two, making people almost unable to open their eyes.
