Okay, I’m leaving

Ma Shuo died, and the original plan to use Ma Shuo to control Ma Guogong also came to nothing.

Sun Tian felt guilty for not keeping Ma Shuo safe. He really didn't expect that besides themselves, there were people who wanted Ma Shuo's life.

"General, what should we do?" Sun Tian asked Xie Yuan in the firelight with a guilty gray and panic look on his face.

Xie Yuan had a frosty look on his face and said:

"Put Ma Shuo at the door of Ma's house, turn into a wedge formation and rush out during the chaos, and go to the west gate to meet the city defense battalion entering the city."

When Sun Tian heard this, he immediately called for the flag soldiers.

The two cavalrymen on horseback ran to the front and rear separately, waving flags.

During this process, Sun Tian and another soldier quickly placed Ma Shuo on the ground in front of Ma's house, and immediately ran back, turned over, and got on the horse.

Xie Yuan inspected the encirclement and found an infantry leader. The leader hesitated at the weak position, raised the long sword in his hand and rushed over.

When the soldiers saw the order, they immediately blew the attack horn. Suddenly, the entire team of soldiers seemed to be alive, and they attacked in one direction.

Those infantrymen who were already panicked and didn't know what to do, looked at the fierce momentum of the cavalry charging towards them, subconsciously lost the courage to resist, and hurriedly hid aside.

Those who were too slow to hide were cut down by the cavalry like grass. The more they hid, the more they hid, and the hole was easily torn open.

But at this time, their leader was entangled by Duke Ma. How could he still have the chance to give orders?

Shi Ji thought that he could kill Ma Guogong with two swords, and then he could let the imperial army obey his command and surround and kill Xie Yuan.

But who would have thought that the nearly sixty-year-old Ma Guogong was actually more powerful than he imagined. The two of them had a lot of interactions. Not only did he not take advantage, but he almost died in his hands because of his carelessness!

Shi Ji covered the wound on his arm and felt regretful in his heart. The situation suddenly reversed. Instead of subduing Ma Guogong's people, they even started fighting among themselves. This gave Jieyuan and the others a chance to break out of the encirclement!

Damn it!... As long as the siege is decisively ordered and follow-up reinforcements continue to arrive, there is no possibility of failure!

The more Shi Ji thought about it, the angrier he became and said angrily:

"Beloved slave! Your son is already dead, and he's still insane! The top priority is to kill Xie Yuan, your son died because of him!"

After all, Ma Guogong was old. He tried his best in a fit of anger and was a little exhausted. He held his sword and gasped for air.

The people around him were protecting him, and they were fighting in a chaotic mess. He stood in the chaos of the crowd, the fire was dim and chaotic, his dark face showed an unhealthy ruddy color, and in his ears were the miserable cries of his family members.

Howl.

He was extremely sad in his heart, looked at Shi Ji and said:

"I am old, but I am not stupid. You want to step on my Ma family's corpse and climb up?! Don't even think about it."

After saying that, he raised his knife and rushed over again.

There was another scuffle between the two, and the light was dim and chaotic. From time to time, torches fell to the ground, and someone's clothes were burned by the torch, and they were rolling on the ground screaming.

Shi Ji stepped on the dead body. He was unsteady and almost fell victim to the opponent's soldiers. He quickly took two steps back and hid among his own people.

Suddenly, someone pushed him from behind, and he rushed out again, just in time to bump into Ma Guogong's knife.

I saw Ma Guogong's face covered with blood and his face was extremely ferocious. He gritted his teeth and slashed at his face with a knife. The flames were extinguishing like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

He raised his knife to block it, but it was too late...

Ma Guogong slashed Shi Ji at once, then struck again with all his strength, and then struck again, as if he was intent on piercing Shi Ji's neck into pulp.

If the people around him hadn't rushed out to protect him, he would have died by someone else's knife because he was too devoted.

Shi Ji was dead. He straightened up, staggered back two steps, turned around in a daze, and looked for his son's body.

At this time, a Forbidden Army general who was loyal to him raised Shi Ji's head and shouted:

"Shi Ji is dead, stop it! Stop it!!!"

The commotion within the Forbidden Army finally stopped. Everyone held up their knives at a loss, and they were clearly divided into two groups.

Of course, the people on Shi Ji's side were even more panicked. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Duke Ma Guo didn't care about this, he walked straight to his son's side.

The female relatives gathered around Ma Shuo's body and cried. Seeing Ma Guogong approaching, they all quickly moved out of the way, leaving only Ma Shuo's biological mother and his wife.

"My lord, please save our son quickly. Please save him."

But Ma Shuo was shot in the back of the heart, how could he be saved? Duke Ma Guo looked at his son's face and finally burst into tears.

At this time, a cavalryman ran over from a distance, shouting as he ran:

"Report!!! The west city gate has been breached and the city defense camp has entered the city!!"

After everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Ma Guogong, but Ma Guogong just held his son's head and cried bitterly without any reaction.

Several trusted generals who had been following Duke Ma Guo couldn't help but look disappointed and defeated when they saw this situation.

The man they once respected and followed is old... although they have long known that he has changed. Because he doted on his only son, he was narrow-minded, partial and trusting, and made enemies everywhere.

But...it was only today, at this juncture, that they truly realized that the person they were following was really old...

And they have no hope.

…

…

Zhang Qing received many messages in succession:

Ma Guogong and Shi Ji attacked each other. Shi Ji died and Ma Shuo died.

Xie Yuan took advantage of the chaos, broke through the siege of the Forbidden Army, and rushed to the west gate. He killed several reinforcements who came to support him along the way. He had already reached the city gate and was in the process of seizing control of the west gate.

Zhang Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced at Shen Liuzhen and said:

"We have people at the west gate who can help open the gate. You should leave now. As soon as the city defense battalion enters the capital, the outcome will be determined. General Xie has won."

Shen Liuzhen's heart beat uneasily twice and he glanced at the direction of the dungeon again.

Zhang Qing knew what he was thinking and said:

"If General Xie wins, then it will be impossible for me to get down from this position. You can go without worries!"

Zhang Qing was afraid that he was not convincing enough, so he added another sentence: "If you don't believe me, you should believe General Xie."

Shen Liuzhen thought: I am so scared just because of her, how can I believe it?

But... Xie Yuan will not let Yishan go if he wants to settle the score. If he doesn't leave now and waits for Xie Yuan to be free, if he discovers the truth again, he doesn't know if he will turn against him and kill him with a knife.

Instead of waiting for her to settle the score with him in person, it would be better to run far away first and give her a chance to calm down.

Shen Liuzhen's eyes flickered, he licked his lips nervously, and said helplessly:

"Okay...I'll go."
