Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 317
Zhao Jingyun didn't need to see clearly to guess who was coming.

That was Zhu Youqing.

Zhao Jingyun looked solemn, and immediately ordered: "Close the city gate."

The army leader behind him responded.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city were busy in an orderly manner. Before Zhu Youqing's troops approached the city, the gate of Taozhou City was closed tightly, and archers stood on the city wall.

The soldiers stared at Zhu Youqing and the others in the city.

Zhu Youqing rushed from afar and witnessed the changes in Taozhou City, as well as Zhao Jingyun standing on the tower.Before, they wanted to rush over quickly, maybe Zhao Jingyun would stop him in time, so that he could enter the city smoothly, but now it seems that this is impossible.

It's a pity that it was only one step away.

Zhu Youqing was thinking in his heart, and he also scolded: "Those trash in the city."

With so many people in the city, if it can cause chaos in the city, can Zhao Jingyun have the opportunity to arrange these?

He lied that he went out of the city to seek medical treatment because he was sick, because he was afraid that something might go wrong in the city and there would be no chance to save him.In this way, even if Feng Antai's people failed to handle the matter well, he could still deal with it.

Zhu Youqing took a deep breath. He didn't know what was going on in the city, but he could only plan for the worst. Xie Chen and Cao Ben had already entered the city, but Zhao Jingyun still had the upper hand. The Feng family didn't send anyone a letter. I'm afraid it all came to light.

In other words, Zhao Jingyun held enough evidence in his hands to drag the Feng family into the water, so naturally he couldn't escape.

As the magistrate of Taozhou, Sun Ji's life is in danger, and his little passerby certainly has no way out. The things they did, whether it was selling women, forcing farmers into military households, or dealing with Xifan privately, were enough. Being beheaded by the court may even implicate family members.

In order to protect themselves, the Feng family will put as much blame on him as possible, so he has no way out.Unless Zhao Jingyun, Xie Chen and others are killed and the evidence is recovered, then he will be what he says.

If the Feng family sent him a letter, the same arrangement would be made.

Looking at the soldiers and horses on the tower, Zhu Youqing quickly calculated in his mind that if he changed to other places, he would probably turn around and go to Xifan, but this is Taozhou City in front of him, and he knows how many people there are in Taozhou City.

The people standing on the tower were all Zhao Jingyun could mobilize. It would not be too difficult for him to attack the city. If there was chaos on the tower, the members of the Feng family in the city would also wait for the opportunity to reverse the current situation.

After thinking over and over again, Zhu Youqing made a decision. If he wants to attack the city, even if he wants to run, he has to try it later. Anyway, Zhao Jingyun can at most defend the city at the moment, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Jingyun to open the city gate and besiege him.

Zhu Youqing immediately ordered the generals around him: "Zhao Jingyun colluded with Xifan, hijacked Shangguan, and attempted to rebel. You all attacked the city with me and rescued the two adults and the people in the city."

The generals understood and promised.

The men Zhu Youqing brought had all experienced wars, and they were incomparable to those who stayed in the city. They brought building chariots, catapults, and enough bows and arrows. There were no trenches outside Taozhou City, no matter how you looked at it, it was beneficial to them.

Zhu Youqing calculated that as long as two waves were attacked, Zhao Jingyun's side would be severely injured, and their people in the city would also receive messages and make noise.

Zhu Youqing was right. Zhao Jingyun really doesn't have many troops to mobilize now. There are a few riots in the city right now, and manpower is needed. If Zhao Xueli hadn't brought the resettlers to help, they might not be able to control the situation. Defend the city?
But even so, if Zhu Youqing really attacked the city with all his strength, they wouldn't be able to cope for long.

Zhao Jingyun looked at the building cars getting closer and closer, with a stern face. The Feng family is really lawless. They have disregarded the lives of the people in the city and used troops at will...

"Fight." Zhao Jingyun ordered.

The only twenty or so people on the city wall immediately took up their shields and prepared to meet the attack of Zhu Youqing and others.

Zhu Youqing didn't delay, and immediately shouted: "Zhao Jingyun, quickly open the city gate and release the officials in the capital and the people in the city. The imperial court will judge you for your meritorious service in arresting Sun Ji."

"Soldiers in Taozhou, don't be fooled by Zhao Jingyun. He has colluded with Xifan for a long time. I have evidence in my hand. Everyone listen to my order and open the gate of the city. Anyone who has lost his way and found his way back will not be held accountable by the imperial court. For those who live in Zhao Jingyun, I will personally show my merits to the court."

After Zhu Youqing finished speaking, the soldiers around him shouted together: "Open the city gate and capture Bandit Zhao."

Hearing these remarks, Zhao Jingyun couldn't help laughing, he didn't know whether he was laughing at the world, or at the heartless people in front of him.

At this point, they are still framing others, and they are so strict and righteous.

As soon as Zhao Jingyun thought of this, someone reprimanded him, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Jingyun looked, it turned out that some soldiers put down their sharp weapons and wanted to sneak away, obviously they believed Zhu Youqing's words.

No matter what, Zhu Youqing has served in Taozhou for a long time, Zhao Jingyun is not comparable.

Zhao Jingyun was about to order people to arrest the deserters, but a voice rang out before him: "Don't listen to Zhu Youqing's bewitching, Mr. Zhao did not cooperate with the enemy, let alone hold the superior officer hostage. It was Zhu Youqing and others who did a lot of evil in Taozhou for self-interest. Now the matter has been exposed. , In order to cover up the crime, he did not hesitate to use his soldiers and horses, this is creating chaos and plotting rebellion."

Zhao Jingyun and others turned their heads to look.

I saw Zhang Yi and Zhao Luoyang supporting Xie Chen up the tower.

What Xie Chen is holding in his hand are the official documents of the imperial court and the fish amulet that proves his identity.

"I am Xie Chen, the supervisory censor, and I was ordered to patrol Taozhou." Xie Chen looked at Zhao Jingyun and said, "I have seen the situation in Taozhou city with my own eyes. Mr. Zhao is enforcing the law and arresting those who make trouble. I will truthfully report to the court."

Zhao Jingyun was overjoyed, Xie Chen came at the right time, he saluted Xie Chen: "Thank you, my lord."

After saying this, Zhao Jingyun glanced at Zhao Luoyang calmly, the girl from the Zhao family was indeed powerful, so she sent Xie Chen in front of him.

Xie Chen waved his hand, walked a few steps forward to the edge of the tower, and looked at Zhu Youqing and others below.

"Zhu Youqing," Xie Chen said, "If you arrest him without a fight, you won't hurt too many people. I will report your confession truthfully."

Before Zhu Youqing said to kiss the head, now the thanks are returned to him.

Zhu Youqing didn't expect that Xie Chen would be by Zhao Jingyun's side, it can be seen that the people in the city didn't do anything well.

At this point, there is no way out.

Zhu Youqing gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and drew out the arrow, and shot an arrow with lightning speed.

The soldiers around Xie Chen raised their shields to cover them up, and then Xie Chen felt being pulled, and the arrow shot into the air and landed on the tower.

Xie Chen is too familiar with the strength of pulling him like this, it is the girl from the Zhao family.

Xie Chen wanted to thank him, but he couldn't take care of it, and more arrows shot at the tower.

Zhao Jingyun ordered people to protect Xie Chen and Zhao Luoyang to escape under the wall, and the soldiers on the tower began to deal with Zhu Youqing's attack.

Xie Chen listened to the commotion on the tower, and thought about the chaos in the city and Zhu Youqing's soldiers and horses. If no one came to help them, they might not last long.

The hateful Cao Ben didn't know where he went, and now only Cao Ben knew how long his reinforcements would be delayed.

"If the city is really broken," Xie Chen looked at Zhao Luoyang, "you should find a place to hide and hold on for a while, there should be soldiers from the imperial court coming."

Zhao Luoyang nodded.

Xie Chen said: "I have to find Cao Ben again."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Don't worry, my third uncle has already searched for it, and if he finds Mr. Cao, he will send it here. My lord, can Mr. Cao help?"

Xie Chen doesn't know what to say, what's the difference between the Taifu and the Feng family?At such a time, it is the same for the common people. They don't care about the lives of the common people, and only think about fighting for power and profit.

Xie Chen is only disappointed now, it seems that he made the right trip to Taozhou, otherwise he would not be able to see clearly.

……

A smile gradually appeared on Zhu Youqing's face. There was no way to deal with Taozhou city wall, so Zhao Jingyun really didn't know how to lead troops to fight.

Even if you understand, it is useless without soldiers and horses in hand.

What's more, he knew the thoughts of Taozhou soldiers. Once they found that they were unable to recover, those people would lose their morale and rush to escape. Then his chance came.

"grown ups."

The deputy general's voice brought Zhu Youqing back to his senses.

"Someone is coming this way," the lieutenant was surprised and flustered, "I wonder if it's reinforcements?"
