"Maybe, this is just a special case, let's go to the next location." Su Xian was relatively calm.

"good."

Yang Zhilan carried Su Xian on his back and moved quickly among the mixed crowd.

Zhou Wei was still standing behind.

Arriving at the next location, the result was disappointing. The bright and dark villages arranged here were all gone, and there were still traces of the battle on the scene.

"Damn black masked man!"

They realized that the group of masked men had already been hiding in Tanzhou City, waiting for an opportunity to move. Su Xian's plan tonight gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.

Su Xian didn't know what their intentions were, but he actually messed up all the bright and dark villages that had been arranged in advance. How could they sneak out of the city without anyone noticing?

After the masked man made such a fuss, the Southern Chu court was bound to strengthen the defense of the city gates and walls, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, causing all the arrangements they had made in advance to become invalid.

It is true that in this chaotic situation, the abilities of Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei were enough to carry Su Xian out of the city, but this was not smooth enough and could easily be discovered.

He didn't want to leave the rumor that "Su Zhe had escaped from the city".

His idea was to let Su Zhe die in the fire of Yang Mansion to complete the "golden cicada's escape" plan.

"Senior brother, what should we do next?" Zhou Wei asked.

Su Xian asked Yang Zhilan to put him down, pondered for a while, and said: "At present, it seems that we can only disguise ourselves and then force our way out of the city."

Although there are "three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry" on the city wall, the troops are not concentrated. After they disguise themselves, they can find a weak point and open a bloody path.

By the time the city guards gathered, they had already climbed over the city wall and ran an unknown distance.

Although this new plan is not as smooth as the previous plan, it can at least escape the city without exposing Su Zhe's identity.

Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei are both rare masters. Even with Su Xian, who is a dragster, there is no problem.

"good!"

"Then let's do it."

Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei nodded at the same time.

Then, their eyes fell on the corpses on the ground. There were masked men in black, soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and ordinary people in ordinary clothes.

Dress up!

"The city gate in front has been opened. Everyone, please escape from the city!"

Just then, someone shouted.

The people rushing around in the streets rushed towards the city gate in front of them, and the crowds were like water.

Su Xian's expression changed, and he immediately canceled his plan of "disguising himself and forcing his way out of the city". He moved his steps, followed the flow of people towards the city gate, and gave instructions:

"The plan changed, we followed the flow of people out of the city."

"good."

Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei nodded and guarded Su Xian respectively to prevent him from getting separated.

In this way, they followed the flow for a while, and finally approached the city wall.

Looking up, I saw that the city wall, which was as tall as a mountain, was indeed full of people. The soldiers guarding the city were fighting fiercely with the masked men in black.

I saw torches standing horizontally, flags hanging upside down, and the noise and shouts of death were deafening. It looked like a battlefield of fierce battle.

The city walls were guarded by soldiers guarding the city, and many people who had heard the news were rushing out of the city.

What are these men in black doing attacking the city wall?

Su Xian kept walking, with a question in his mind.

Could it be that they want to occupy the city wall and then capture the entire Tanzhou City?

Unlikely.

Su Xian himself was shocked by this idea.

Where did this power come from? To be so ambitious and audacious, you must know that Tanzhou City is the capital of the Southern Chu Empire!

By this time, the city gate was approaching.

If they had another twenty feet, they would be able to sneak out of the city.

Su Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was too lazy to think about the real intention of the masked man in black. He escaped from Tanzhou tonight. At dawn tomorrow, they might return to the land of Daliang. Why should they care about these nosy things?

Close.

Twenty feet.

Fifteen feet.

We can leave the city soon.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from diagonally opposite the city gate, and someone shouted loudly: "Anyone who leaves the city without permission will be shot!"

Everyone turned to look, and it turned out that there was a large group of cavalry with silver helmets and silver armor. They were all wearing strong swords, and there were about hundreds of them, galloping towards them.

Horse hooves stepped on the bluestone street, making a continuous clicking sound, like dense raindrops, the sound was terrifying.

This is the imperial army of Nanchu.

"Oh my god!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

The people who had not yet left the city were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

Those who were close to the city gate fled along the city wall; those who were further away from the city gate turned around and ran back. In an instant, people were overturned, some were trampled, and cries kept coming and going.

Seeing this, Su Xian felt very unwilling, but he hesitated for a moment, and finally led Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei to follow the stream and retreat along the city wall.

Right now, they are only more than ten feet away from the city gate.

I believe that with the abilities of Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei, there will be no problem in taking him out.

However, in this case, Su Zhe's identity will definitely be exposed.

Su Zhe not only provoked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Nanchu, but he was also proficient in the "Nine Needles of Returning Yang". If the monarchs and ministers of Nanchu knew that he was not dead, it would always be a problem.

In addition, there is the Yang family, especially Yang Ruoxian. In the future, he does not want to conflict with Yang Ruoxian as Su Zhe.

After all, the Yang family is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he is a natural enemy. In the near future, he may personally destroy the entire Yang family...

After comprehensive consideration, Su Xian retreated and did not force his way out of the city.

However, when he and the people retreated to the foot of the city wall, he regretted it.

Oops!

Shouldn't retreat.

He held his breath, his heart was in his throat, his face was frightened, his scalp was numb, and his whole body was feeling cold.

The ordinary people around were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some even lost control of their legs and feet and lay directly on the ground, shaking with fear.

What did they see?

It turned out that there was an open space in front of the city wall, and in this open space, more than two thousand Imperial Guards in silver helmets had gathered to form two large square formations.

That's fine, the key point is that the soldiers all held crossbows in their hands, the bow strings were fully drawn, and there were three to five sharp arrows on each crossbow.

The crossbow machine was aimed at them at the foot of the city wall.

In other words, a total of 6,000 to 10,000 sharp arrows were aimed at them.

And they retreated all the way here, and many people were separated, leaving less than two hundred people... so many sharp arrows could completely cover them all!

Nowhere to escape!

There is actually a trap here.

Su Xian understood instantly.

He really regretted that he should not have followed the crowd just now. If he had broken out of the city in disguise, he might have escaped from the city.

But, after all, he is not a god and cannot predict the future. Under the circumstances at that time, who would have thought that there was a trap here?

Now that the matter has come to this, I have no choice but to comfort myself with the words, "A saint must make a mistake after all his worries."

"No one is allowed to move!"

Opposite, a general walked out from among the more than two thousand soldiers and shouted sternly at Su Xian and the others.

"There is a big fish among you."

The general glanced at Su Xian and the others with a solemn look, "I advise you to take the initiative to stand up. Maybe you can have a chance of survival. If not, just wait to be pricked like a hedgehog!"

Under the city wall, the common people had never seen such a formation before. When someone fired arrows, they would really be pierced into hedgehogs, and their faces turned pale with fear.

Su Xian couldn't help but tremble in his heart, big fish? What big fish?

Could that big fish be me... Su Xian suddenly understood that when he went out for spring outing in the city, the Emperor of Chu had solicited him many times. After all, he was proficient in the Nine Needles of Huiyang, who wouldn't be greedy?

The Emperor of Chu did not seem to be a benevolent king, and it was not impossible to use forceful means to capture Su Xian and serve him.
