The people who were about to go into the water were in chaos after hearing Zhao Fengzi's words, and Li Ming's head buzzed and was about to fall into the water. Gao Wei, who was next to him, hurriedly held him tightly and shouted in his ear: "Stand it! Don't give up until the last moment! Calm down! Two people come here, I can't help him!"

The two guards next to him hurried over to hold him up and drag him to the shore. Li Ming sat dejectedly on the shore, took off his heavy helmet in a daze, and frustrated eroded every cell of his body, making him weak and dizzy. He was on the verge of success, and the victory was in sight, but at this time, such a big blow came. The hard work of many days and the hard planning of many people all turned into a bubble at this moment. Is the reality really so cruel?

Zhang Meng, Yuchi Xiong and Gao Wei showed their tenacious perseverance and unyielding character at this moment. Although the guards fell to the ground like deflated balls, the three of them still walked to Li Ming calmly. Zhang Meng squatted in front of Li Ming, slapped Li Ming on the shoulder, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go up and don't let me see you as cowardly as you! My Zhang Meng's son-in-law will never be like this! What's wrong now? Are you surrounded by officers and soldiers? Or are you going to the execution ground? Can you not stand a little bit of setbacks and blows? How can you do big things in the future! Stand up! Let me see if you, Li Ming, are you.

What kind of man? Now everyone can fall down, but you are the only one! You are now the backbone of everyone, your emotions will affect everyone. You don’t want everyone to lose confidence because of your frustration, right? Stand up! Show your courage and lead such a large group of people out of the predicament! Things are not that bad. Let’s discuss it. Maybe there is any good way. Let me tell you Li Ming, which made you moved me and let me "rebelle" with you. Now if you dare to leave it alone, I will destroy you immediately! Stand up!" At the end of the story, Zhang Meng almost roared and shook Li Ming’s shoulders.

Yuchi Xiong hurriedly pulled Zhang Meng away, Gao Wei continued to guide Li Ming: "Sir, I, Gao Wei, listened to Mr. Huo Wei, who left the simple villagers and came back to this world after hearing his good advice. I, Gao Wei, had already swore in my heart that I would follow the leader of Mr. Huo Wei for the rest of my life. If Mr. Huo is so depressed, how can I be worthy of my Gao Wei's expectations and the expectations of the villagers in Taohua Village? Erniu and the others are still waiting for you to pick them up back to Biquan Island. Get up quickly, we must seize the time, otherwise the entire army may be wiped out."

Li Ming slowly raised his head and looked at the anticipated gazes of the three people in front of him, especially the encouraging look in Zhang Meng's eyes. A warm current rose in his heart. He took a long breath and suddenly spit it out. Then he jumped up and shouted loudly to Gao Fei on the ground: "Gao Fei, lead your people to gather immediately! See what you are like, get up for me! Let's prepare to fight the enemy!"

Seeing that he had regained his vitality, the guards on the ground began to occupy one by one, and quickly stood together under Gao Fei's organization, looking at Li Ming with anticipation, waiting for his idea.

Li Ming lowered his head and pondered for a while, and everyone said, "Everyone has seen the current situation. Our perfect plan had this accident, which I had never thought of before. In fact, this is something I had blamed on me. I should have imagined. Since Chen Tong was captured by the third prince, other things in the Ministry of Works will definitely fall into the hands of the third prince. Shen Tong ordered the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to fully modify the two large ships, and the third prince would definitely know. Similarly, with the ability of the third prince to plan things, he would definitely be able to get this plan to wait for the rabbit. If I had thought of this earlier, I would not have let the brother die under the arrows. Therefore, I want to apologize to everyone for my mistake. It is obvious that the third prince would definitely find the secret of our escape from the dead brother. I guess all the waterways that left the city now have been blocked, so this road The road is no longer working. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers have no signs of coming here yet, and we still have time to make the next plan. However, the performance of the City Guards in this operation is very strange, so I always feel a little uneasy, especially when I escaped back just now, I encountered several groups of patrol soldiers. They clearly saw that we were suspicious, but they didn't even ask us. This is too strange. I don't know any strange conspiracy here, but I know that it's already very unsafe. The City Guards cannot doubt us. The reason why they pretended not to see us was that I thought they might be mobilizing the army to catch us in one place. So no matter what we decided to do next, I think we might have only one chance. If you have any ideas and solutions, just say it out, and everyone will have a better way."

Gao Fei shouted: "Sir, as far as the situation is concerned, we have no other way. Since the officers and soldiers know the secret of our underwater escape, the waterway will definitely not work. When the sir returned, they were already suspected by them, so the Shangshu Mansion could not stay. The streets were full of patrol soldiers, and it was impossible for us to transfer. It seems that we can only fight to the death! Sir, please rest assured, I have a plan, maybe I can do it. I want Zhao Fengzi to select more than a dozen guards with good light skills to stay to protect you. I will rush out with the other guards. After we attract the attention of the officers and soldiers to one side, you will break through from the other side. In this way, you are very sure to escape."

Before Li Ming could speak, Gao Wei shook his head and said, "It's impossible. It's not that we can't bear to sacrifice you, but that your plan is too naive. How big is Nanguo City? How many officers and soldiers are there in the city? How many troops can you 30 or 40 guards attract? Not to mention that, if you leave one hundred soldiers at each gate, we will not be able to escape, so your plan won't work."

Looking at Gao Fei's embarrassed expression, Li Ming smiled bitterly: "Yes, your plan is not working, and I can't let you make fearless sacrifices. I just thought about it, and I think we should follow my previous thoughts, and we should still go on the water."

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Meng asked hurriedly: "How is that possible? Didn't you just say that the waterway has been blocked, so it's impossible for us to get out from where."

"That's right, we can't escape from the waterway now, but we hide with the waterway." Li Ming said confidently: "Although they knew that we could hide in the water, they had no way to do it. We only had more than 60 people in total, but the waterways in Nanguo City were well connected and crisscrossed. They couldn't find them in any river. Besides, we could disperse, under every boat, beside the water grass, and under the small bridges were good ways for us to hide. During the day, we could hide in the water, and at night we gathered together to escape. Although there were many officers and soldiers, they could not block them for the rest of our lives. We could deal with them in water conservancy. But one thing is, wearing this helmet and staying in the water is not the same.

It was a very pleasant thing, but in order to escape, we had to do so. Besides, we may not have been in the river all the time. The imperial city is so big, where can we have more than 60 people? With the help of the river, we can reach any place we want to go, even the palace!" Seeing everyone's shock, Li Ming was even more proud. He continued: "Don't think I'm whimsical. The water in the palace also slipped in from the outside river. As long as there is a waterway, we can enter. The palace is so big that we can hide in a remote room for ten days and half a month. Who knows? Most of you are good at light skills. As long as you are careful, it's still easy to steal something in the palace."

Everyone smiled happily after saying this. The haze just now had been swept away from everyone's faces. Except for Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong who felt that this was disrespectful to the emperor, everyone else felt that this was a good idea. Although there was a danger of being discovered from time to time, it was much better than trying harder than picking up a knife in the same city.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Li Ming was about to announce that he would wear a diving hat proudly, and an anxious voice rang in everyone's ears. The business was not big, but everyone felt as if they were talking in their ears, so that Li Ming's heart almost jumped out again.

"It's been so late, you are still here, I really think the officers and soldiers can't catch you!" A masked man in black flew over from a tall tree outside the courtyard wall, and in a blink of an eye, he crossed more than a hundred meters away and fell lightly in front of everyone.

Gao Fei was about to pull out his weapons and stop him, but Li Ming hurriedly stopped him, clasped his fists to the man and said, "Hero, Li Ming thanked me for what happened just now. I wonder what advice is there now?" This man was the man in black who saved Li Ming's life from the big monster's hands.

The man in black looked at Li Ming and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? It's been a long time since you left the scene, why haven't you broken through? Do you really have to wait until all the officers and soldiers are dispatched before you can feel at ease? I've been waiting for you at the East City Gate for a long time. My people are in danger at any time. If there is no important thing, let's break through first."

Everyone was shocked, and Li Ming asked stutterly: "Do you know our actions? May I ask if you have the surname and name."

The man in black interrupted him and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Why are you talking about here? Come with me quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!"

Everyone looked at each other in a daze, and no one knew whether they should believe him. Things were so strange that anyone would doubt it.

Seeing that no one moved, the man in black stamped his feet in a hurry. He suddenly took off the veil from his head and shouted to Li Ming: "It's me! You can't recognize me now?"

Looking at the familiar face, Li Ming desperately searched the memories in his mind, but he could not remember where he had seen him, but this feeling was so familiar.

The black-clad foot in a very popular manner and leaned into Li Ming's ear and said something. Li Ming's face changed immediately. His face flushed and he pointed at the man in ecstasy and shouted: "You."

"Don't talk anymore, leave quickly, let's talk about the details after leaving the city. Now my people have occupied the East City Gate and there is a danger of being discovered at any time. If you don't leave now, it will be too late to wait until the city gate is blocked."

Li Ming woke up and shouted hurriedly: "Give up the plan just now and leave for me immediately. Gao Fei, you must bring the bomb and fire note with you, prepare for the battle, hurry up, follow me." After that, he ran out with the man in black.

Everyone was stunned and felt puzzled. Since Li Ming's plan just now was so perfect, why did he still fight out? Is there something wrong with it? However, although they were all suspicious, out of trust in Li Ming, everyone still protected Zhang Meng, Yuchi Xiong and Gao Wei followed him out.

The man in black led the Liming and his group of people to walk around the alley, skillfully avoiding the patrol group of soldiers, and successfully arrived at a large mansion. The man in black knocked on the door a few times. As soon as the door opened, the man in black waved and flashed in.

Everyone quickly accelerated their pace and ran into the gate, but as soon as they entered the door, they stopped in one go. What everyone saw was a team of iron armored soldiers with distinctive armor and imposing momentum!

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. The guards protected Li Ming and the other four in the middle, pulled out their weapons and were on guard. Li Ming was angry and anxious, pointing at the man in black and shouting, "Who are you?"

The man in black stomped his feet and shouted, "Now you are careful, don't worry, they are mine, why don't you change your clothes!"

After saying that, a team of soldiers came over, each holding a set of armor in his hand, put it in front of everyone and retreated aside.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Ming's mind and he said happily: "That's great! It's so wonderful, but how did you get this armor, this horse? I tried every means and couldn't steal it! Hurry up! Everyone, change the armor, we dress up as city guards and mingle out of the city." After saying that, he pushed away the protection of the guards, picked up a set of armor and changed it.

Except for some of the guards who were dull and stood there without reacting, most of them followed Li Ming in time to change their clothes. In a short while, all the guards had been modified under Gao Fei's punch and kick.

After a rough check, Li Ming nodded to the man in black who had changed his clothes. The man in black turned around and ordered: "A, take ten brothers to open the way, and the others will be led by A Er, and they will all follow me."

Seeing that the people wearing iron armored soldiers in front of them were riding horses and ranking, Gao Fei also ordered the guards dressed as city guards to follow behind, protect Li Ming and the other four in the middle, and ran out of the yard smoothly.

The panic just now seemed to have no effect on Nanguo City. The city guards patrolling the streets were still so leisurely, not at all the panic and feeling as if Li Ming had imagined. The pedestrians on the street seemed to have not been affected, and the small vendors on both sides of the street were still loudly selling the goods in their hands. If they had not experienced that life-and-death struggle, Li Ming would almost doubt whether he had a dream just now.

In fact, it was not just him who was confused. Gao Wei next to him couldn't help but stretch his head and whisper: "It's so abnormal. This is not a small matter. Why should they all be facing a great enemy? But look at it, it's so uneasy. Also, is this a trap? I tried my best to get from the Ministry of War. You know how much I put in. I paid 100,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue and did not impress the treasurer, but I actually have so many people. Isn't this strange? Sir, is this person reliable?"

Li Ming had a strange figure in his eyes, and nodded with certainty and said, "I'm sure, this person is very reliable. I can trust him without reservation. Since he has a way to take us out, I don't doubt it. Don't worry, he will plan here to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Seeing Li Ming answering so affirmatively, Zhang Meng, who also wanted to ask questions, closed his mouth. Since he said that, what else can I ask? Under the current situation, just say less if I can say less.

With the iron-armored army in front, the group successfully approached the east gate of the inner city. Li Ming also found that the route they took was not bad at all as the route they had originally planned to escape on the road, which made him feel a little mixed with emotion.

Under the wide Dongcheng Gate, a team of city guards were heading in front of the gate, blocking and driving the crowds who wanted to enter and exit. The city was crowded with blocked people, and they were all excited and discussed.

Seeing the Iron Armored Army coming, the crowd blocking the city gate quickly made a way and hid aside. The man called A-2 who was walking in the front asked a serious officer in front of the door: "What's going on? Why are so many people blocked? Something happened in the city, don't you know?"

The officer in front of the door hurriedly replied loudly: "Return to the lieutenant, Xiaguan is preventing these people from entering and leaving the city, but they are too many and cannot disperse for a while."

Jia Er nodded and shouted to the crowd around him: "Listen, because something big happened in the city, we are now going to block the city gate. No one is allowed to enter and exit at will without orders. Violators will be killed. You are limited to leaving here immediately within a moment. I will strangle you for rebellion? Have you heard it? The soldiers obey the orders and kill all the people who dare to stay here in a moment!" As soon as Jia Er finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd. In a blink of an eye, the crowd inside and outside the city gate disappeared without a trace.

Jia Er and the officer guarding the city smiled at each other, asked the man in black for instructions, and then led everyone out of the city gate together, while the man in black stayed inside the city. Li Ming was anxious and was about to turn around to greet him, the man in black quietly appeared in his ears: "Don't worry, I will close the city gate from inside, then raise the suspension bridge and then come over. Follow Jia Er first, he will lead you to drive out of the city as soon as possible. Don't worry about me, the small Nanguo City can't trap me."

Li Ming felt relieved, waved at the man in black, and rushed forward with the group of people. Behind them, the inner city gate was slowly closing.

The Zhongcheng of Nanguo City is larger in area and has a larger population than the inner city. Like the inner city, the defense here is the city guards. The difference is that in addition to the city guards, Zhongcheng has another city guard unit responsible for defense, that is, the city defense force.

The Shangcheng Defense Forces were organized in Zhongcheng, and appeared as the reserve and auxiliary troops of Yizhicheng Guard. They were directly ordered by the emperor through the Nine Gate Admiral. Relatively speaking, the quality of the City Defense Forces is far inferior to that of the City Defense Forces, but compared with other ordinary local troops, the combat effectiveness of the City Defense Forces is still very good.

Li Ming's team was not very conspicuous when he was in the inner city, but when he arrived in the middle city, the special features of this army became more and more obvious. The bright armor, strong horses, sharp weapons, and neat team all made people on both sides of the street stop and watch, and even the soldiers of the Central City patrolling the city were deterred.

Li Ming secretly said in his heart that such an attractive team would not attract the attention of intelligence personnel from various core departments. If the City Guards learned that a mixed iron armored City Guards appeared in the middle city, they would definitely send someone to investigate. Although the City Guards performed so strangely when they were in the inner city, Li Ming did not dare to take it lightly at all. If there were any conspiracies and tricks in it, they would not be able to bear it.

The leader of the second team obviously realized this, so he obviously accelerated the horses. In this way, a team of "elite soldiers" composed of fugitives quickly approached the east gate of the middle city.

This road was exactly the escape route agreed upon by Li Ming and his team at the beginning. Although they finally decided to abandon it, A-2 seemed to know their plan in advance and led everyone along the established route without any fault. In front of him, a wide intersection appeared in front of Li Ming. Li Ming knew that turning the intersection was the east gate of Zhongcheng.

With the experience of the transport ship incident just now, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a nervous feeling. In his mind, the scene of despair that Zhao Crazyman came out of the water suddenly flashed, making him feel alert. Sometimes Li Ming had to admit that the more successful he was, the more trouble he would find someone.

Jia Er and everyone turned around the corner of the street. In front of him was the towering East City Gate. Li Minggang breathed a sigh of relief and saw a flash of white clothes in front of him. Zheng Yu blocked the team with a sneering face.

Li Ming felt a little nervous, and he heard the second person in front of him shouting: "Bold and unruly people! You dare to block my official path, so why don't you get out of here!"

Li Ming hurriedly shouted, "Slow down! I'll deal with this matter." While shouting, rushing out of the crowd and blocking Zheng Yu. Just kidding, with Zheng Yu's martial arts, if he gets furious, he is not his opponent in human rights, so it's better not to make trouble.

Zheng Yu smiled coldly, looked at Li Ming and said, "You are quite sensible. Congratulations, you have made you successful. Even the prince looked at you with admiration. After borrowing a step, you don't want them to hear our conversation."

Li Ming nodded, turned around and said to Jia Er, "This is my friend. Now I have important things to talk to him. You can take them out of the city quickly, and you don't have to worry about me."

Jia Er shook his head and said firmly: "A Er received the order to sacrifice his life to protect the safety of each of you, so I will not leave you alone here. If you want to leave, then let's go together. If you do have something important, then Jia Er will leave a group of people to protect you, and I will hand over the others to Jia San to lead them out."

Zheng Yu smiled coldly from the side and said, "Don't worry, I won't delay him for too long. I will leave after saying a few words to him. But I warn you, you'd better not lean on me during our conversation, so why not blame me for being ruthless."

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Li Ming followed Zheng Yu to the side. Zheng Yu said with a sarcastic smile as he walked: "This time the prince sent me here just to ask me to ask you something, what are you going to do after the person comes out? Should you go back to your Biquan Island? Or stay in the imperial city to help the prince?"

Li Ming frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "The prince also made great contributions to the success this time. Since the prince did not give any instructions in advance, I don't know what to do. What does the prince mean? If the prince thinks that I can help him, I am willing to stay."

Zheng Yu smiled lightly and said, "You are quite sensible. The prince was originally planning to let you go back, but your performance this time was really outstanding. The excellence surprised the prince. So the prince changed his mind and asked you to stay in the imperial city to help him."

Li Ming complained secretly, but had to smile on his face and said, "Since that's the case, I should obey the order, but I must send them safely now, otherwise I will not be at ease. No, you will report back to the prince truthfully, and believe that the prince can understand."

Zheng Yu laughed and said, "I really admire the prince. He had expected you to say this long ago. He asked me to tell you that it is best to remember your promise to the prince, otherwise even if you run back to Biquan Island, you will not be able to stop the prince's army of hundreds of thousands. You also know that King Kang can't protect you, he is no longer able to do it now. Now our prince has the most powerful soldiers and horses in his hands, so I advise you not to go the wrong way, otherwise you will be gone for the future prince. After sending these people away, the prince is still waiting in the mansion to welcome you." After saying that, without waiting for Li Ming to answer, Zheng Yu jumped up and disappeared in front of Li Ming's eyes.

Li Ming walked back to the team in frustration and let the team continue to run out of the city. He himself sighed secretly in the face. Li Qing was right. He would definitely not be able to return to Biquan Island now. If he annoyed Li Qing, with Biquan Island's current strength, he would definitely hit stones with eggs, so he must endure it at present. After his strength grew, he was planning. Fortunately, there was another Gao Wei in his team, and Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong - they would definitely settle on Biquan Island, otherwise they would have no other place to go. The power on the island was strengthened again, so even if he was not on the island, as long as he ordered, Biquan Island could still develop.

Soon, Li Ming and his team followed the reputation of the city guards and became the central city. Although the outer city is large, the guards here are the loosest. The entire outer city is guarded by the city guards. So when they saw Li Ming and his team of iron armored troops and the city guards, they didn't dare to ask anything at all, and let them out of the city obediently.

The group rushed forward and accelerated their pace. They quickly left Nanguo City. Looking back at the tall gate of Nanguo City that was gradually moving away, everyone felt like they were escaping from death and couldn't help but cheer.

However, just as everyone was chirping, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from everyone. The sound was so terrifying in Li Ming's ears that he forgot to react. As the sound of hooves gradually approached, on the avenue in front of everyone, a team of iron armored troops of tens of thousands rushed towards everyone.
Chapter completed!
