Lu Weigui was still in a daze. This chivalrous man looked ordinary, but his temper was unusual. He turned around and left without saying a word. He did not even give him time to arrange for people to help him. Was this person too stubborn, or was he too capable that he did not care if there were people to help him?
Lu Weigui was puzzled, but he could not show it on his face. He immediately ordered his subordinates to follow him.
Qin Yining was the same as Lu Weigui. He knew that he would only cause trouble if he went out. Therefore, he waited there quietly, holding his breath as he listened to the commotion outside the wall.
Soon, a wave of scolding came from the other side of the wall.
"Damn it! Where did this bastard come from! This is the place that the Lu family's head has circled. Not even a bird can fly out. You guys must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts. Don't tell me you don't want to live anymore! "
"Go back obediently and we might spare your lives. If you don't listen to us and have the guts to barge in, we can only kill you!!"
Qin Yining's heart was in his throat when he heard the other party's words. Mu Jinghu's martial arts were excellent, but the other party had the advantage in numbers. Qin Yining did not distrust Mu Jinghu, but the incident of "killing an old master with random fists" was not an exception.
She did not hear Mu Jinghu's reply, but in the blink of an eye, she heard the sounds of fists and feet colliding and screams coming from outside.
Ji Yun was curious and excited. She wanted to watch the show, but she was worried about Qin Yining's safety.
Qin Yining saw her itchy look, as if a kitten had scratched her heart. He could not help but laugh and say, "Go take a look. Come back and tell me the situation."
Ji Yun's face turned red, but she immediately nodded. She ran to the bottom of the wall with light steps, found a ladder, and climbed up to see the situation outside.
With this look, Qi Yun was so shocked that he was dumbfounded.
Wherever Mu Jinghu stood, he could only see people falling like vegetables. The bailiffs and soapmen from the yamen followed behind Mu Jinghu with their swords in hand. They did not even have the chance to attack. Although Lu Heng had arranged for a large number of rebels, they could not withstand Mu Jinghu's suppression in terms of martial arts. In just a short while, they had already lost their will to fight and were showing signs of defeat.
Ji Yun hurriedly told Qin Yining what she had seen.
Qin Yining's fair face blossomed into his first brilliant smile in many days. "Very good! We can't let this opportunity slip by. Let's take this opportunity to rush out. " He turned around and instructed Lu Weigui, "Order someone to stay behind and keep the courtyard door properly. Don't let the women in the family go out easily and arrange for people to protect them."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This lowly official will arrange it now." Lu Weigui nodded excitedly. After giving some instructions, he led his men and followed Qin Yining's group out of the yamen.
At this time, rebel soldiers were scattered all over the ground. Not a single one of them was alive. The smell of blood was very pungent. Qin Yining frowned slightly, but his expression was still calm.
However, Lu Weigui was not as calm as Qin Yining.
In all his life, this was the first time he had seen such a scene of corpses strewn all over the ground. In addition, the rebel soldiers had their necks broken, their lumbar vertebrae broken, and their chests torn open … There were all kinds of miserable deaths. If it wasn't for his face and the fact that there were so many people staring at him, Lu Weigui would have jumped up in anger.
Everyone was silent at this moment. They followed Qin Yining and moved forward. They could not help but sigh in their hearts. Fortunately, this chivalrous man was one of them. If he was someone arranged by Lu Heng, how could they still have the chance to defend the yamen? They would have been torn apart long ago!
Qin Yining naturally knew of Mu Jinghu's abilities, but it was the first time she had seen such a cruel method of killing opponents. Mu Jinghu had a flexible sword at his waist, but he did not use it. He insisted on using his hands. Such a violent and hearty killing not only made the enemy tremble in fear, but also made his own people feel anxious.
Qin Yining suddenly remembered that she had asked Mu Jinghu about Qiu Feishan. At that time, Mu Jinghu must have been very annoyed, right?
Perhaps, he was just using this opportunity to vent his emotions.
Qin Yining sighed.
The quarrel between the young couple could actually make Mu Jinghu have such a big reaction. Since ancient times, heroes have a weakness for the charms of beautiful women.
While her thoughts were running wild, the group had successfully followed Mu Jinghu out of the yamen.
At this time, the rebel soldiers arranged by Lu Heng had already fled for their lives.
Mu Jinghu grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains on his hands, threw it away casually, and walked towards Qin Yining.
Lu Weigui and the others behind Qin Yining all took a step back, their eyes full of fear.
Mu Jinghu did not seem to care about other people's gazes, and was too lazy to care about others. He only asked Qin Yining, "Are we going to seize the city gate now?"
Qin Yining nodded, her eyes full of worry. She wanted to ask Mu Jinghu what happened to Qiu Feishan, but after opening her mouth, she swallowed her questions.
Mu Jinghu seemed to be aware of Qin Yining's thoughts, but his expression was covered by a thin mask.
Mu Jinghu turned and strode towards the city gate.
Lu Weigui immediately shouted at his subordinates, "Hurry up and follow him! Take back the city gate and resist the Tatan! If the Tatans enter the city, the people in the city will be in danger! "
The subordinates naturally knew this. Everyone was from Huichuan, and their families were in the city, so they were naturally the most concerned about the survival of the people here.
Everyone rushed towards the city gate in a mighty manner. At this time, the people were hiding in their homes, and even if they heard the commotion outside, few had the courage to come out and check.
When the people near the yamen smelled the thick and pungent smell of blood in the air, they were really scared out of their wits.
Only the strong men who were instigated by Lu Heng to defend the city against the imperial army were still guarding the city gate fearlessly.
Seeing that the city gate was right in front of them, Qin Yining said to Mu Jinghu, who was walking in front of him, "Don't kill the people here. If we anger the people, it will be inconvenient for us to do anything in the future. Also, we need to find a way to find out Lu Heng's whereabouts. Once we capture him, we will be able to find out his deployment and find out what cooperation he has with the Tatan."
Mu Jinghu nodded, "I will first help these people to take down the city, then I will go and find Lu Heng's whereabouts."
"Lu Heng has many experts around him, you have to be more careful."
"Don't worry, this won't be a problem for me." Mu Jinghu smiled, turned around, and stepped onto the stairs.
When the subordinates saw the powerful warrior rushing in front, they instantly felt their blood boil and their lungs hurt. One by one, they drew their swords and rushed up.
Qin Yining was carefully protected by Ji Yun, Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others. From here, they could not see the situation on the city wall, but they could hear the screams and cries of alarm.
Not long after, Qin Yining saw Mu Jinghu quickly walking down the stairs.
"It's already over?"
Mu Jinghu nodded, "We have already captured the ordinary people on the city wall and taken back the city gate. However, I feel that the current situation is not right. "
"The situation is not right?" Qin Yining's voice was slightly raised.
Mu Jinghu said, "It was too easy to take back the city gate. There are not many guards arranged by Lu Heng for such an important place. Most of them are the strong men captured from the city and the ordinary people who volunteered to defend the city. "
Qin Yining's gaze turned sharp, "When did this situation start?"
"It started when the Tatan people launched a sneak attack on Duke Ding."
Qin Yining lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes like crow feathers casting two rows of small fan-like shadows on her fair face.
Her cherry lips were pale, and after a long time, she said, "I have a bad guess. I'm afraid that the cities in the north are no longer safe. "
At this time, Lu Weigui was leading people to clean up the mess on the city wall. Qin Yining saw that only his subordinates and Mu Jinghu were around, so he said in a low voice, "Lu Heng obviously withdrew his main forces after the Tatan arrived. The people guarding the city wall are all abandoned pawns. His real goal is not to destroy the Imperial Mausoleum, but to lure the Tatan people here. "
Silence was like a winding vine, wrapping everyone in it tighter and tighter.
They could not imagine that the head of the Lu family, the former Zhong Yibo, who was a noble gentleman, would actually do something like luring the Tatan people into Da Zhou's territory without caring about the lives of the ordinary people.
In Qin Yining's heart, this person used to have a noble character, but now, his image was completely shattered.
One should not be so selfish as to ignore the lives of others in order to achieve one's goal. Moreover, Lu Heng was not just scheming against one life. From the moment he blew up the Imperial Mausoleum, no, perhaps even earlier, he wanted to use the blood of the innocent people to repay the lives of the Lu family members who were killed by Li Qitian.
"Princess Consort, what should we do now?" Ji Yun said with some apprehension, "This servant feels a little gloomy here. Do you think that Lu Heng will come back with his men? He purposely lured us here so that he could capture you. "
"He won't." Qin Yining said, "His goal has been achieved, and the people in the city have been used by him enough. He won't make a move in the short term. He is a smart person. He understands the benefits of adding firewood to the left and right and then sitting on top of the mountain to watch the tigers fight. "
At this moment, Lu Weigui's excited voice came from the city gate tower. He shouted loudly, "Open the city gate and send scouts to report to Duke Ding that Huichuan County is now under initial control. Duke Ding, please lead the army into the city."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded, and someone immediately went to the barracks outside the city to inform Ji Zeyu that he could enter the city at any time.
Qin Yining looked at the group of people led by Lu Weigui down the city wall like tied dumplings. His originally worried heart gradually relaxed.
"Princess Consort, these are the people in the city. How should we deal with them?" Lu Weigui came in front of Qin Yining and bowed respectfully.
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows and walked slowly in front of the hundred people. Seeing that most of them were able-bodied men and a small number of women and old people, he smiled and said, "Did you help Lu Heng's rebel army to deal with Duke Ding, who was sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion?"
The people all lowered their heads and pursed their lips without saying a word. It was obvious that the emotions stirred up by Lu Heng's words had not yet subsided.
