Chapter 339 The Disappeared Shen Qingan
In the moat outside the city of Kyoto, there was a patch of red, and peach blossoms were blown from nowhere, and fell on the water, covering the mottled scarlet.

Duan Yi sat on the horseback and looked over from a distance. In front of the city tower, there was a huge crowd of people. Cui Zi was standing in front of the horse with Prince Su. He didn't know what they were talking about. When he saw her coming, he couldn't help but look. come over.

Lord Su waved his hand at Duan Yi, and he breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Su Yun holding his gun in a lively manner.

The gate of the city was tightly closed, the gate board that Wei Meng was carrying on his back was still thrown there, with a lot of arrows stuck on it, it looked like a hedgehog.

Duan Yi got off the horse and walked towards Cui Zigeng.

There were several cuts on his sleeves, showing bloodstains.

Duan Yi squinted her eyes, "Li Guangming, Yu Mo, and that Li Tai are all dead. The Longyou Army is a tough one. At the end of the bloody battle, they refused to surrender. Some stragglers escaped bravely, and the rest were all captured. "

Su Wangye listened, stroked his beard, and shook his head at Duan Yi, "This old man is not as good as General Duan, when he was about to kill Chen Heqing, he was rescued."

"The person who came was dressed in black, with golden ripples embroidered on his feet, and the weapon he used was a long sword, and he wore a mask on his face, so he couldn't tell who it was. The old man is not good at martial arts, and he is not his opponent. Let him rescue him Gone. The remnants of the New Zhou Army have also been lost."

As Prince Su said, he took a deep look at Duan Yi.

Duan Yi's eyes moved, not surprised, "Nine times out of ten, it's Duan Sixian who came back from the dead. He's all alone. If he wants to make waves again, how easy is it?"

After a big battle, it is almost impossible to wipe out the enemy or capture everyone.

You are strong enough, and your opponent is not a melon, who can stand still and tell you to shred it directly.

When I was in Shannan in the past, firstly, there were not many people fighting, and secondly, that place was originally the hometown of soldiers. If they left here, where could they go?The left and right surrendered, but they just changed the person who paid them, so they surrendered, and they were very happy.

This time it is different.

If you can get back to your hometown, who wants to stay in Kyoto as a prisoner?

Even when Cui Zigeng attacked Huainan, such a waste material as He Huainan could escape under the escort of his personal guards.

Therefore, Duan Yi was not surprised by Prince Su's words.

She thought and looked at Cui Zigeng.

Cui Zi moved his eyes and shook his head.

"I was just about to tell Prince Su that this battle might be very strange. I was in the army and I didn't see Shen Qing'an. Moreover, although they were powerful, the number of the imperial guards was far less than that of the scouts I sent before. A lot of people were found."

"The ones fighting me were Shen Qing'an's subordinates, Jiang He and Zhao Cheng, who had already been beheaded in front of the horse. Mr. Yan interrogated the captives and asked many people. He only said that when they left the city, there were only these people. Shen Qing'an didn't Not out of town."

Duan Yi and Prince Su looked at each other, both were taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously looked towards the closed capital city gate.

Although they occupied the city walls, they did not open the gates and enter the city.

So, is it possible that Shen Qing'an is now leading the remaining imperial guards and ambushing them?

At this time, Mr. Qi Lang Zhong Tongyan also surrounded him.

"Which one is Shen Qing'an singing from? This person from King Zheng's lineage seems to have entered the Yellow River Book, what are they doing?" Qi Lang frowned and muttered.

Previously when they united the three armies and arranged troops like this, Mr. Qi was sure that both Duan Yi and Lord Su had a chance of winning.

The most worrying thing is that Cui Zigeng led the rear army to fight against Shen Qing'an.

If the Imperial Guards of the capital came out in full force, not to mention the overwhelming number of them, Shen Qing'an himself is also highly skilled in martial arts, and has been battle-tested for a long time. This point, Zheng Duo is no longer praising him once or twice.

Although Cui Zigeng claims to be an ever-victorious general, he is invincible in every attack.

But two fists are no match for four hands, and Shen Qing'an was able to win the capital and boldly go out of the city, by no means an ordinary person.

"If Shen Qing'an didn't go out of the city, why didn't he show up to defend the city when I took down the tower of the capital? If Shen Qing'an went out of the city, why didn't he fight against Cui Zi and send his two generals to death for nothing?"

Duan Yi said, frowning.

Cui Zigeng's words were not wrong, this battle was simply scheming.

They first formed an alliance of three armies, and then pretended to form an alliance of five armies. As a result, the alliance of five armies turned into a three-on-three war. No one among them was innocent, and no one was not scheming.

She thought this was the ultimate, but she never expected that it was not over yet...

Duan Yi thought and looked towards the city gate.

But he saw dust falling on the gate, and then the gate was slowly opened.

The three armies froze for a moment, and the archers immediately set up their bows in unison, aiming at the gate of the city.

A light blue skirt was exposed.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of Kyoto was opened, and a woman in a light blue dress walked out holding the hem of her skirt.

She stretched her head to look, as if she didn't expect there were so many people in front of the door, she was shocked and her face turned pale.

"It's my fourth younger sister Duan Jing," Duan Yi said with great interest.

Duan Jing saw that she hadn't changed much from when she was in Sichuan, she was still as thin as a cat cub, with a cowardly pettiness in her gestures.

With mist in her eyes, she grabbed the corner of her skirt tightly, not daring to look at the bloodstains, and ran towards Duan Yi's direction in a stumbling manner.

Before he got close, he was stopped by Cui Zigeng's subordinate Crested Ibis.

Duan Jing felt the long sword clamped around her neck, her legs and feet softened, and she fell to the ground.

With tears in her eyes, she stammered, "Third...Third Sister...I...I'm here to open the city gate for you. I really have nowhere to go, please ask Third Sister to save me."

"I, I, I..." Duan Jing sniffed, covered her lower abdomen, and pursed her lips firmly.

"I want to reconcile. I know it's not the time to talk about this, but I don't know who I can ask. If I don't reconcile, I will have them killed. People in the city are afraid to go out."

"Big brother-in-law...Shen...Shen Qing'an left the capital with big sister and grandparents. The house is empty, and the family surnamed Wang dare not go out."

Duan Yi frowned, "When did they leave?"

Duan Jing's face was bloodless, "I left the day before yesterday. Most of the army in Kyoto had been divided out and hid somewhere. Before the war started, Shen Qing'an left quietly."

"The current capital city is an empty city."
