"Let's go to the West Gate,"
"If the bandits enter the city, we can escape quickly."
Miao Shanggao led his family out of the yamen.
They headed straight for the west gate.
They hadn't gone very far,
Then I heard a loud shout from behind.
"The city has fallen! The city has fallen!"
Upon hearing this, Miao Shanggao
Suddenly I got anxious.
Abandoning the women,
He then took off running towards the west gate.
Seeing this, the women behind them
She couldn't help but cry out.
Miao Yanei saw his father run forward without looking back.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to abandon his mother and wife and run away.
Miao Yanei's wife, who was standing nearby, saw her father-in-law run away.
He then looked at Miao Yanei.
Seeing that he was about to run away,
He quickly grabbed Miao Yanei's sleeve.
"My lord, please don't abandon me!"
Miao Yanei struggled with all his might,
Shaking off his wife,
He took off running.
It is said that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest.
When disaster strikes, we all fly away.
West Gate, however, was a patrol and guard post for apprehending thieves.
Seeing Miao Shanggao and Miao Yanei running over,
They hurried over to greet them.
Miao Shanggao said,
"The south gate has fallen! Quickly, protect me and get out of here!"
The patrol officers had also faintly heard signs of chaos breaking out in the southern part of the city.
"The only option now is to charge out as fast as we can."
Zhang Qing, the Featherless Arrow, heard shouts of battle rising from the south.
Just when I was regretting that I couldn't achieve anything,
But the west gate was wide open.
A group of soldiers escorted the Miao father and son out.
"Zhang Qing is here, where do you think you're going, you corrupt official?"
Zhang Qing saw that Miao Shanggao was dressed in official robes.
Overjoyed, he roared.
He thrust his gun straight at Miao Shanggao.
Seeing this, Miao Shanggao quickly said to the patrolman beside him,
"General, save me!"
The inspector mustered his courage and went to greet Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing saw Miao Shanggao and his son seize the opportunity to spur their horses and gallop to the side.
The steel gun in his hand moved even faster.
One shot was enough to knock the inspector off his horse.
He carried the gun on the ring.
Take down the bow and arrows.
Two arrows in quick succession,
They then shot down all the warhorses of the Miao father and son.
The Miao father and son fell to the ground.
Before they could even struggle,
Then the soldiers of Daliang rushed up and took it.
Zhang Qing escorted the Miao father and son into the city.
Then he ran into Luan Tingyu, who was chasing after him alone.
Luan Tingyu, however, went straight to the yamen (government office) after entering the city.
Miao Shanggao fled towards the west gate after being questioned.
So they chased after them.
Seeing the Miao father and son captured by Zhang Qing.
He could only clasp his hands in greeting and say,
"Congratulations, General Zhang, on your meritorious service."
Zhang Qing returned the greeting with clasped hands.
"Luckily, luckily, I never expected that this corrupt official would run into my hands."
"It seems General Luan was the first to breach the city walls, wasn't he?"
Luan Tingyu laughed and said, "We killed Yao Gang and then seized the opportunity to break in."
The two arrived at the yamen, chatting and laughing.
Zhao Yuan has already taken command of the government office with his troops.
They then brought the Miao father and son to the main hall.
Miao Shanggao and his son knelt on the ground.
He kowtowed repeatedly, pleading.
"I am willing to submit to the Great Liang and serve the King of Liang with my life."
"Please, General, spare my life!"
Chapter 1627 Kill!
Zhao Yuan shouted, "What use is a corrupt official like you to my Great Liang?"
"Take him away and execute him later."
Upon hearing this, Miao Shanggao and his son...
He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Qing ordered his personal guards to drag the two away.
While Zhao Yuan was having people inventory the money, grain, and weapons of Dongping Prefecture,
But then Li Ying arrived with Xiu Hua.
Indeed, she possessed a beauty that could shame the moon and eclipse the flowers, a beauty that could make fish sink and geese
She truly deserves the name "the flower that shames the earth".
At this moment, however, the pear blossoms were in tears.
She was truly pitiful to see.
Li Ying led Xiuhua to the main hall and said to his niece,
"The person in the hall is the Crown Prince of Great Liang. Xiuhua, you should quickly thank the Crown Prince for saving your life."
Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw Li Xiuhua.
"No need, no need for such formalities."
Xiuhua glanced shyly at Zhao Yuan.
Auspicious Blessing
"I am deeply grateful to the Crown Prince for saving my life."
Zhao Yuan listened to Xiuhua's delicate voice,
My body felt weak on one side.
"No need to be polite."
The flowers blushed with shame.
However, he stood behind Li Ying with a sorrowful expression.
Just tears.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan asked in confusion,
"Didn't General Li go to the prison to rescue your brother?"
Li Ying shook his head and said,
"We're too late. That corrupt official Miao Shanggao arrested my brother after that,"
"They then tried to force a confession out of my brother, making him confess to the crime of colluding with Liangshan."
“My brother was frail and he has been beaten to death in prison.”
Zhao Yuan slammed his hand hard on the table.
“This corrupt official deserves to be killed to vent our anger.”
Li Ying gritted his teeth and said,
"I beg Your Highness to allow me to carry out the execution myself and avenge my brother."
Zhao Yuan nodded.
"Alright, you will be in charge of the defense of Dongping Prefecture for the time being."
"I will lead a large army north later to attack Qizhou."
Li Ying also wanted to avenge his brother.
He then accepted the job.
Seeing that Xiuhua was very sad, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but say,
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences, Miss Xiuhua."
Xiuhua choked back tears as she replied to Zhao Yuan.
She couldn't stop crying for a moment.
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"General Li, there's nothing much here,"
"You should take Miss Xiuhua down to rest first."
