Chapter 242
Ye Zhaoyan shook her head, with a mocking smile on her face, she reached out and lit the candle on the table, and took out the document in her arms with the other hand, "My lord, since you don't believe me, then I will show you my determination!"

"You!" Chu Li paled in shock, looking at the faint candlelight, he seemed to feel that the face in front of him was a little familiar, but the document was getting closer and closer to the candlelight, and he couldn't allow him to think too much, "I promise you! "

He didn't believe that he could still watch Ye Zhaoyan play tricks on him with hundreds of elite soldiers.

He is going to decide on the seal and documents of Beijun!
Taking North County so effortlessly is definitely not to be missed.

Chu Ligang brought Ye Zhaoyan to the middle gate of the mansion, and the soaring flames lit up the night sky.

The whole Nanyuan suddenly boiled, with torches hanging high everywhere, and screams continued.

"My lord, there is an enemy attack!"

"What's going on?" Chu Li frowned and looked at Li Guanshi beside him.

Before the two went out to find out, Commander Zhao rushed in with a few people, his expression panicked, "My lord, the heavy army of Nanzhao Kingdom has broken into the city gate! They are about to attack the county guard's mansion!"

"What?" Chu Li's face changed suddenly, "When did they arrive in Beijun?!"

"My subordinates don't know either." Commander Zhao shook his head and said, "The subordinates sent someone out to investigate, and found that the other party just attacked the city gate!"

Commander Zhao has a serious face. Their army is far away in the northernmost part of Beijun, and there is still more than an hour's walk away from here. They will not be able to make it back in a while!
In order to prevent the war between Tianlu and Hexi from affecting the army of Beiliang, Chu Li deliberately separated such a distance. Unexpectedly, it became their weakness at this moment, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Although they also brought hundreds of elite soldiers, Nanzhao had thousands of cavalry after all, and they also occupied favorable terrain, so they were about to break in soon.

"My lord, what should I do?" Commander Zhao asked anxiously.

"Evacuate first, and return to Beiliang after dawn!" Chu Li ordered.

"Yes!" Commander Zhao nodded, turned around and rushed out with people, "Quickly retreat!"

There was chaos in the Sheriff's Mansion, and there were constant exclamations and curses.

Chu Li's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect Nanzhao Kingdom to move so quickly and break into the city without giving him any time to react. He wanted to take back Hebei County in one fell swoop!
However, I clearly remember that the Ye family's army was stationed outside Beijun city. If Nanzhao wanted to enter Beijun, he had to at least fight with them. He arrived so quickly, could it be that he bypassed Ye's army?

There's no conspiracy in this, is there? !
He looked back at Ye Zhaoyan with a calm face, the suspicion in his heart was getting deeper and deeper, he gritted his teeth and said: "You have already figured out that I will not let go of the seal and documents that are at your fingertips, so you deliberately lured me to the county guard's mansion. And put me in jail?"

"Your Majesty, this is wronging me. I'm trapped in the county guard's mansion, so I can't count your thoughts." Ye Zhaoyan began to open his eyes and talk nonsense: "If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could Ye Mou get the antidote to Gu poison today? How dare he do such a thing?" Things that harm others and benefit oneself. Besides, as Major General of Tianlu, Ye still has some credibility."

After all, Ye Zhaoyan sighed, looking innocent.

Chu Li stared at her coldly: "Do you think this son will believe it? Hurry up and give me the seal and documents, otherwise this son will punish you right now!"

It's pointless to worry about it now, as long as he gets the things and returns to Beiliang, Beijun will be in his pocket sooner or later.

"Your Majesty can't protect himself now, so you still have time to care about the life and death of me and others?" Ye Zhaoyan said with a smile: "If you want it, you can get it yourself!"

"You don't want to toast and eat fine wine!" Chu Li shouted, his face full of anger.

Ye Zhaoyan put away his smile and said with a sneer, "I just want to toast and don't eat fine wine!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the house.

Chu Li hurriedly chased him out, followed by two personal guards.

The two pedestrians rushed out of the mansion one by one, galloping all the way, and arrived at the west gate of the sheriff's mansion in a blink of an eye.

Just when Chu Li was teased by Ye Zhaoyan like a cat catching a mouse, he lost his patience and was about to use a hidden weapon to plot against him. Ye Zhaoyan reached into his arms and threw two luxurious objects to the ground in two directions.

Chu Li sharply saw two things, the Beijun Shouyin and the documents. Seeing that the Shouyin was about to fall to pieces, he rushed over to catch it.

Seeing that Chu Li was so agitated, the two guards knew that the matter was not trivial, so they rushed over to protect the document.

At this moment, Ye Zhaoyan took out his Hidden Sword and shot at Chu Li. Chu Li couldn't dodge, and was immediately pierced by an arrow through his right shoulder.

Blood gushed out in an instant, dyed the skirt of the clothes red, dripped to the ground, and spread all the way.

"Despicable!" Chu Li covered his wound, and looked at Ye Zhaoyan angrily, with the other hand just protecting the seal in his arms, and the two guards were ready to attack as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"In terms of despicableness, Beiliang people should be number one! Ye is ashamed of himself!"

Ye Zhaoyan complimented him solemnly, making Chu Li's bad face even darker.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and behind Chu Li, more than a dozen Beiliang soldiers were rushing towards him.

Seeing that the time is ripe, Ye Zhaoyan said with a light smile, "My Ye family will keep what we say, and I will leave these two things to the prince, so farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Zhaoyan used his body skills and went out of the mansion without the slightest hesitation, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, how is your injury?!" A guard asked worriedly while supporting Chu Li.

"The Ye family will keep what they say?" Chu Li's eyes were cold, and he slapped the guard's hand away, "Mobilize troops and horses to hunt him down immediately!"

"Obey!" The guard agreed, then turned around and led a dozen people in a hurry towards the direction Ye Zhaoyan left.

Chu Li gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, hid the seal on his waist, raised his hand and drew out his long sword, and headed towards the back door of the Sheriff's Mansion.

The Nanzhao Kingdom was about to invade the Sheriff's Mansion, so he had to leave here immediately with the seal and documents and return to Beiliang.

No matter what, the safety of the seal and documents must be guaranteed. Only in this way can Beiliang hope to continue to control Hexi and regain Beijun.

When he led a group of people all the way to the back door, there was a dark crowd waiting here for a long time.

In the darkness, the appearance of this team of troops was hidden, and it was impossible to see exactly how many there were, only a piece of reflective dark gray armor was revealed.

This unfamiliar armor color showed the different identities of the other party.

This is not Beiliang's army, let alone Tianlu's soldiers.

Chu Li frowned, but an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Before he could react, the soaring roar of anger rang in his ears: "Beiliang thieves will be arrested before they even put their hands up!"

A stern look flashed in Chu Li's eyes, and he jumped onto the wall with a long sword in his hand, jumped to the high roof ridge, kicked his feet fiercely, and climbed up like an arrow.

The soldiers below drew their bows and arrows and shot at Chu Li.

Dozens of Beiliang Qingqi swung their swords to block the attack, but the arrows were so fierce that dozens of people were seriously injured soon.
