Chapter 47: There is no way to retreat!

"Who are you?" Zhou Li frowned at this moment, and seemed to have some clues in his mind, but he was not sure. Could it be that this unremarkable fat man in front of him was the legendary Bad Man of the Tang Dynasty? Zhou Li was only in his early twenties, which meant that he was not even born when the Bad Man disbanded.

"Duan Chengtian, the bad man of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that if you don't listen to me, not only will your general's wife be humiliated by Zhu the thief, but you will also die." Duan Chengtian stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back and spoke eloquently:
"You are all Wang Yanzhang's personal guards, and your Iron Spear Army is Zhu Wen's personal army. Now that Wang Yanzhang is in prison, do you think you, Wang Yanzhang's direct subordinates, will be purged? Generals and soldiers, we all prosper together and suffer together. If you want to live, cooperate with our actions tomorrow."

Zhou Li frowned and thought. He was Wang Yanzhang's most capable deputy general and, as Duan Chengtian said, Wang Yanzhang's direct descendant. If Wang Yanzhang fell, he would be replaced by a sycophantic villain, who would surely live well. But was Zhou Li such a person? How could he repay Wang Yanzhang for saving his family?
"What do you think we should do?" Zhou Li looked at Duan Chengtian, a fierce look in his eyes. The man in front of him had a very high level of cultivation, and he must have come here to use their Iron Spear Army. What could he do if he knew that? He had no choice!

Mrs. Lu remained quiet and silent at this time. There was not much she could do as a woman in such a matter, but as long as Xianming could be rescued, all her efforts would be worth it!
Duan Chengtian said immediately: "Send Madam Lu and the general's family out of the city first. Someone will meet you at the South Gate. After you leave the city, someone will take care of you on the way. As for you Iron Spear Army, contact your general's loyal followers and hide around the palace. Wait for the opportunity tomorrow, and I will give you the news."

"What? You want to break into the palace?" Zhou Li's face changed. At most, he just wanted to take his brothers to jailbreak, but the man in front of him must be crazy. He actually wanted to break into the palace directly?
Duan Chengtian snorted coldly and said, "Zhu Wen will host a banquet for all the ministers in the court tomorrow. He will question Li Xingyun and Wang Yanzhang in front of the Chaoyuan Hall. He may even kill them on the spot. If you go to rescue them, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see a complete corpse!"

At this time, the guards on both sides of the palace gathered around Zhou Li spontaneously. With Wang Yanzhang away, Zhou Li was their backbone. "Old Zhou, what do you say? Will you do it?" Zhou Li swallowed his saliva and clenched his fist, saying, "Let's do it! I'll go back and contact my brothers in the army, and you take your wives out of the city!"

Zhou Li then looked at Duan Chengtian deeply and said, "You save your Highness, and I save our general. We each get what we need and we owe nothing to each other!"

Duan Chengtian nodded and said, "Of course, let's do it as soon as possible!" As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Chengtian disappeared from the spot. As the chief scout among the bad guys, Duan Chengtian's practiced light skills were extremely fast. Compared with Shangguan Yunque's surprise attack skills, Duan Chengtian was obviously more comprehensive, and he was good at both long-distance and short-distance raids.

"What an amazing Qinggong." Zhou Li sighed and quickly gave orders: "Sanwa, Erhu, the two of you take seven or eight people to escort the Madam and the Young Master out of the city, and everyone else follow me!"

Zhou Li called out and quickly took action. Duan Chengtian, who was hiding in the dark, watched this scene and smiled. If the previous clumsy plan was not enough to prevent Wang Yanzhang from turning over, then now that the people from the general's mansion had escaped, Wang Yanzhang's crime of treason and collusion with bad people was completely confirmed!

"The Marshal is as ruthless as ever." A sarcastic voice appeared beside Duan Chengtian. Who else could it be but Shangguan Yunque? Duan Chengtian glanced at Shangguan Yunque and said with dissatisfaction, "You are always making up stories about the Marshal behind his back. Aren't you afraid that the Marshal will put you in the wall one day?"

Shangguan Yunque pinched his orchid fingers and laughed, "I have a backer now. Following His Highness, I feel much safer than following the Marshal."

Duan Chengtian felt a chill and said, "Can you please stop acting like a woman all the time? Someone who doesn't know you would think you came from the palace."

Shangguan Yunque immediately stopped smiling and glanced at Duan Chengtian calmly. Duan Chengtian immediately ran away. Shangguan Yunque snorted. He was playing tricks on him. He was invincible in the middle heaven! If he didn't have any skills, he would dare to play tricks in front of the commander-in-chief? He would have been skinned alive long ago! ...

Mingde Hall.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yanzhang is a loyal man. He must have been framed in this matter. Please forgive General Wang for his negligence!" Jing Xiang bowed deeply.

Li Zhen at the side also advised loudly: "Your Majesty, the great cause has not yet been accomplished, and Daliang is in need of people. If the thieves in the dark can frame our loyal ministers with such a small trick, who in the world will dare to serve Your Majesty? This move will surely chill the hearts of people all over the world! Your Majesty!"

Zhu Wen, who had just had two rounds of fooling around with Zhang, pressed his brows and realized that he had made a mistake. Just now, the little head was controlling the big head. After arranging the flowers and playing with the jade, Zhu Wen immediately entered his most rational period. However, he could not directly admit that he was wrong at this time. After all, as an emperor, he cares about his face.

When Zhu Wen was thinking about how to make excuses for himself, he suddenly frowned, and suddenly remembered that he had issued an order to let Lu enter the palace. Once Lu entered the palace, everything would be hopeless. At this time, Zhu Wen had no time to save face, and immediately said to the eunuchs serving on his left and right:
"Go, order a visit to General Wang's wife, Lady Lu, and have the imperial concubine receive her!"

The eunuchs on the left and right immediately took the order and left. Jing Xiang and Li Zhen in the hall looked at each other. They both saw the disappointment in each other's eyes. With their understanding of Zhu Wen, how could they not know why Lu was allowed to enter the palace? Moreover, Jing Xiang's own woman was also dragged to sleep with Zhu Wen every day. As a fellow traveler of Zhu Wen, Jing Xiang knew the temper of the Daliang emperor better than anyone else!
Jing Xiang immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. This move can not only appease the hearts of the ministers, but also show your Majesty's compassion and tolerance for your subordinates. Even if General Wang is imprisoned for a day or two, he will definitely not be dissatisfied with Your Majesty!"

Li Zhen was standing aside at this time with his cheeks twitching slightly. If Zhu Wen was a ferocious beast, then Jing Xiang was definitely the strongest animal tamer in the world. Look, these two sentences made Zhu Wen smile happily.

"Hahaha, Zizhen and Xingxu worry about the country all day long, and have made great contributions. Come here, reward, one thousand gold each!" As Zhu Wen finished speaking, a figure walked into the hall and said:
"Your Majesty, the General's Mansion is now empty. Madam Wang Yanzhang and his children have all fled Luoyang City before curfew!"

Jing Xiang's relaxed expression froze immediately. Li Zhen also thought to himself, "Oh no, who made such a bad move!" Sure enough, Zhu Wen's face suddenly changed. His face, which had just laughed, was now gloomy. Slap in the face, this was a slap in the face, and he was given two of the loudest slaps in front of his two most trusted ministers!

"Now, no matter how much I explain it, it won't make sense..." Jing Xiang felt miserable because there were so many stupid teammates in the team!
"Give the order! Manhunt across the country!" Zhu Wen snorted coldly and walked away.
