Chapter 271 Lu Shuyun wants to escape

Daxia, Sufeng City.

Outside the city, the army of the Great Xia imperial court gathered. Countless catapults were placed in a row, and the archers were ready to attack.

At this time, Sufeng City was in chaos. No one expected that the imperial army could defeat the armies of their major families in such a short period of time and surrounded Sufeng City.

Now they only have the last chance left, which is to let the great masters of the major families take action at the same time to deal with the imperial army.

Of course, they also expected that the grand master of the imperial court might be among the army, so the next step was a contest between the grand master of the aristocratic family and the grand master of the imperial court. If the grand master of the aristocratic family could defeat the grand master of the imperial court, maybe their Jiangnan aristocratic family would still be able to defeat it. There is a glimmer of hope, but if the great master of the family fails, it won't take long for the imperial army to rush in.

In front of the imperial army, General Zhao Quan was riding a horse, looking at the gate of Sufeng City, and then said loudly: "Attack!!!"

The next moment, the sound of horns echoed in the sky above Sufeng City, and then the imperial army was dispatched. Countless catapults threw boulders, and the boulders hit the city wall, leaving holes everywhere in the city wall.

Sufeng City was also using catapults, and countless huge rocks were also thrown at the imperial army.

Of course, these boulders are of little use to the elite soldiers of the imperial court. Ordinary elite soldiers can easily avoid boulders and bows and arrows.

at the same time.

Wang family.

The heads of the Jiangnan family gathered in the Wang family's living room again. Prince Lu Shuyun was sitting on the throne of the Wang family, his face gloomy and ugly.

He seemed to have seen the future where he would die from poisoned wine.

After hearing the trumpet sound echoing over Sufeng City, everyone knew that the imperial army had launched an attack. They could only place their hope on the grand masters of their respective families.

If the great masters of their respective families were defeated, then they would probably have no way to escape but death.

The entire living room was very quiet, everyone's expressions were ugly, and no one spoke.

At this moment, Chu Hongfei couldn't bear it any longer, and he said directly: "Your Highness, let's find a way to escape, leaving the green hills behind, so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood. If we die now, we will have nothing. "

Chu Hongfei didn't want to die here. He was still so young, and he still had many ambitions and ideas that had not yet been realized. He was still thinking about Chu Yuqin, the alluring woman.

Chu Hongfei thought to himself that his father had already established a foothold in the North Country anyway. As long as he escaped from Su Feng City and quietly slipped to the North Country, he would be a good man again.

Moreover, he is still his father's only son. As long as he goes to the Northern Kingdom, he will still be the eldest son of the Chu family in the Northern Kingdom.

When he leaves in the future, he will be the head of the Chu family.

Of course, these are not the most important things. What is important is that he can pursue Chu Yuqin when he goes to the North Country.

When he thought of Chu Yuqin's plump figure, Chu Hongfei's fear of death weakened a bit.

Hearing Chu Hongfei's words, Chu Liang immediately scolded him and said, "Hongfei, don't talk nonsense. Our great masters haven't taken action yet. How do you know that we are not the opponent of the imperial army?"

Hearing Chu Liang's words, Chu Hongfei was a little unhappy. Although he initially sided with his two uncles and betrayed his father, he did so in order to gain more power from the Chu family and did not want to be Constrained by his father's rules and regulations.

Now the imperial army has arrived at the city. If the imperial army attacks, the entire Chu family will be doomed. His father has prepared such a good escape route for him in the North Kingdom. He does not want to accompany these Chu family members to stay in Sufeng City and wait to die. .

However, although Chu Hongfei felt uncomfortable, because Chu Liang was his uncle, and the prince and so many heads of aristocratic families were here, he could not keep his mouth shut. Chu Hongfei immediately shut up and stopped talking, but he felt sad in his heart. Already thinking about how to escape from Sufeng City.

At this time, Lu Shuyun said: "Since I have chosen this path, I will definitely accompany you all. How can I escape at this time?"

Lu Shuyun also saw that what these aristocratic family heads are most afraid of now is that he escapes. The imperial army is already attacking the city, and the people in the city are panicked. If the crown prince, the pillar of the city, escapes, then the people of Sufeng City will probably be dispersed in an instant. .

Moreover, Lu Shuyun is indeed the easiest person to escape here, because Lu Shuyun does not have any family property in Sufeng City. He came here empty-handed, so naturally he can leave empty-handed.

But it was different for those aristocratic families. The family property of those aristocratic families for many generations was in Sufeng City. They had no way out. If they ran away, their family property for dozens of generations would be gone.

Of course, it's not just a matter of family property. Lu Shuyun is only one person, with at most a few followers. But those aristocratic families don't have thousands of members. How can they escape with so many people?

If Lu Shuyun took a few followers and escaped from Sufeng City while taking advantage of the chaos, there was a real possibility that he would not be discovered, but the same cannot be said for the aristocratic family. There are too many people in the aristocratic family, and the target is such a big one. If they try to escape, they will definitely be caught. Discovered by people.

So when Lu Shuyun said that he would not run away at this time, he was actually trying to stabilize the minds of the heads of the major aristocratic families and prevent them from overthinking.

But Lu Shuyun obviously didn't really think so.

He is a prince, why should he die with this group of aristocratic family members? He has already foreseen that if he is caught, his father will definitely not let him go even though he is a prince, and will definitely give him poison. Wine, or give him three feet of white silk.

Therefore, if he wants to survive, he cannot be caught by the imperial army outside the city. He must find a way to leave Sufeng City.

Since this Chu Hongfei also wants to escape, he can take advantage of this Chu Hongfei.

Chu Hongfei is from the Chu family in Jiangnan. He has grown up in Sufeng City since he was a child, and has lived in Sufeng City for so many years. He should know Sufeng City well. Maybe he can find a way to escape from the city.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said openly.

At this time, Lu Shuyun continued: "Now the people in the city are panicked. The heads of the families are sitting here and can't think of a good way. Now you should go back home and comfort your clansmen. Only when people's hearts calm down, we I just hope we can get through this difficult time.”

After hearing this, the heads of the aristocratic family thought for a while. Indeed, they are sitting here with big eyes and small eyes. No one can think of a good way. They will only know after the war between the great masters is over. Can he defeat the imperial army?

At this time, the head of the Qin family stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. In this situation, even if we are sitting here, we are just worried. We might as well go back to our respective homes and comfort each other." tribesmen."

Seeing that the head of the Qin family had said this, the head of the Wang family sighed and said, "Okay, everyone, please go back today."

The family heads thought that if Su Feng City was really captured by the imperial army, they would just have to wait for death in the Wang family now, so they might as well lead their clansmen in a final desperate struggle later.

Moreover, once the imperial army invades the city, they will definitely divide their troops. The aristocratic families are distributed in various places in Sufeng City. As long as the imperial army divides their troops, one of their aristocratic families may be able to seize the chaotic situation in Sufeng City and rush out with their own clansmen. Su Fengcheng.

Although everyone talks about unity, they have already prepared for the worst in their hearts. Most people do not believe that they can win. If they really have a chance of winning, they will not lose all the way and lose to this point. .

Afterwards, each family head left the Wang family and returned to their respective families.

After they all left, Lu Shuyun came to a restaurant in Su Feng City, and then found someone to quietly bring Chu Hongfei to him.

As soon as he heard that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to see him alone, Chu Hongfei was very happy. As long as he could meet the Crown Prince alone, he would have a chance to convince the Crown Prince and they could escape directly.

Chu Hongfei actually thought about escaping from Su Feng City alone, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had no strength at all, and he did not have any powerful subordinates in the Chu family. If he escaped alone, he would not be able to escape from Su Feng City. When he was discovered by the imperial army outside, he was probably caught directly.

If there are masters around him, it will be different. Then those masters will help him hold back the soldiers of the court, and then he can get rid of the soldiers of the court.

There is no doubt that it is the most appropriate choice to cooperate with Lu Shuyun. Lu Shuyun is surrounded by masters at the master level. If they escape together, even if they are accidentally discovered by the soldiers of the imperial court, there will be strong people covering them. Then The probability of them escaping from Sufeng City is even greater.

Not long after, Chu Hongfei appeared in Lu Shuyun's room. After seeing Lu Shuyun, Chu Hongfei immediately saluted and said, "The common people have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Lu Shuyun smiled and said, "Brother Chu, hurry up and don't be so polite."

Seeing that Lu Shuyun was so polite to him, Chu Hongfei felt that something was wrong. He asked at this time: "Your Highness, I wonder why you are looking for a grassroots person?"

Lu Shuyun sighed, and then said: "Each of the major aristocratic families had their own agendas, which ultimately led to the defeat of this war. Although the imperial army has not yet invaded Sufeng City, the defeat of Sufeng City is already doomed."

"I remembered that not long ago, a wealthy family in Qi State wrote to Gu. As long as Gu goes to Qi State, Gu's imperial uncle will definitely find a way to protect Gu. When Gu's father dies in the future, Gu's imperial uncle will support him at all costs. Ascending the throne alone.”

Hearing this, Chu Hongfei's heart suddenly became excited. Hearing what Lu Shuyun meant, Lu Shuyun also planned to escape from Su Feng City quietly, and also go north?

So, they are kindred spirits?

Chu Hongfei immediately said: "Your Highness, if you need anything, you can tell the common people. If the common people can help you, they will die without mercy!"

Lu Shuyun said with a smile: "There is no need to die. I just want to know. You have lived in Sufeng City for so many years. You should know Sufeng City very well and know some ways to leave Sufeng City."

"If Gu can successfully reach Qi State, you will be the number one hero. When Gu reaches that position in the future, I will make you the Duke of the country!"

Hearing the cakes drawn by Lu Shuyun, Chu Hongfei's heartbeat began to beat faster. He thought for a moment and felt that Lu Shuyun still had hope of turning over.

The strength of Qi State is not weak. If King Qi supports Lu Shuyun and Lu Shuyun keeps a low profile in Qi State, when Emperor Xia passes away in the future, King Qi may really be able to push Lu Shuyun to the throne. At that time, he will The man who saved Lu Shuyun's life was a great hero, and he would definitely not be able to escape the position of Duke.

Thinking of this, Chu Hongfei immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the common people will definitely find a way to take you out safely."

Hearing Chu Hongfei's answer, Lu Shuyun said with a smile: "Brother Chu, do you know of any place where you can leave Sufeng City quietly?"

Chu Hongfei said with a smile: "This is natural. If His Highness is ready, we can leave Sufeng City tonight."

Lu Shuyun said: "Well, this matter will trouble Brother Chu. We will leave Sufeng City tonight."

Speaking of this, Lu Shuyun suddenly thought of something, and then continued: "By the way, Brother Chu, I hope you don't tell other people in the Chu family about this matter. If there are too many people and the target is too big, it will be easy to expose our secrets." His whereabouts, even if he escapes from Sufeng City, he may be discovered by the soldiers of the imperial court."

Chu Hongfei said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the common people only bring two or three followers. Other than that, they will never tell the rest of the Chu family."

Lu Shuyun said: "Well, Brother Chu, hurry up and prepare. Come to the restaurant tonight to find Gu."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After the words fell, Chu Hongfei left the restaurant with a happy face.

Seeing Chu Hongfei's back, Lu Shuyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He planned to directly deal with Chu Hongfei, the idiot, after escaping from Su Feng City.

When the imperial army breaks through Su Feng City and the Chu family is wiped out, those Chu Hongfei will naturally be useless.

Lu Shuyun thought in his heart, hoping that tonight's operation would go smoothly. If they were discovered, whether by aristocratic families in the city or by imperial soldiers outside the city, it would be very difficult for them to escape.

This kind of thing is best done right the first time.

at the same time.

Outside Sufeng City.

Seeing that the imperial army was about to board the city wall, suddenly, the imperial soldiers on the city wall were instantly knocked away by an invisible force, and then all the imperial siege ladders were destroyed.

The next moment, three great masters appeared on the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the morale of the rebels in Su Feng City was greatly boosted. The Grand Master on their side finally took action. With the help of the Grand Master, the imperial army could not attack no matter how powerful it was.

At this moment, the soldiers didn't know that their leader, Lu Shuyun, was already planning to run away.

After Zhao Quan, the great general of the imperial court, saw the three great masters on the tower, he immediately said to the soldiers: "Retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, the trumpet sounded, and the imperial army retreated.

Seeing the imperial army retreating, the soldiers in Su Feng City immediately cheered. They all thought they had won, and the imperial army was scared away by the Grand Master on their side.

As everyone knows, after Zhao Quan asked the imperial soldiers to retreat, a smile appeared on his face.

It's not that they really retreated, but the second war began. It was not a war between ordinary soldiers, but a war between great masters. A war between great masters would inevitably affect the people around them, so he immediately let The soldiers of the imperial court withdrew.

While the soldiers in Sufeng City were immersed in their fantasy, three old men slowly walked out on horseback from the retreating imperial army.

Seeing the three old men, the soldiers in Sufeng City instantly felt something was wrong.

The imperial army had clearly retreated, so why did they send three old men out at this time?

Is it possible...

Are these three old men also great masters?

Before people had time to think too much, the three old men rode straight to the city gate.

After seeing this, the three great masters of the family did not wait, they jumped directly from the tower.

Then the second war in Sufeng City began.

The three great masters of the imperial court were obviously stronger than the three great masters of the aristocratic family. The three great masters of the aristocratic family were beaten back and forth, which made the three great masters of the aristocratic family a little unbelievable.

Where did Emperor Xia invite this great master from? How could he be so powerful?

If they remember correctly, when the three of them were still heads of aristocratic families, the Grand Master of the Great Xia royal family was hunted and killed by powerful men in the Heavenly Realm. It stands to reason that such a powerful Grand Master no longer existed in the Great Xia royal family. .

It was already very good for the national master Situ Ce to break through to the realm of grand master. As a result, three more grand masters came out of the royal family, and the strength of these three grand masters was actually so strong.

Is it possible that these three grand masters are the grand masters who survived the royal family in the past? They were lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the powerful man in the heaven and human realm?

Although there were various shocks in my heart, it was useless to think about it now. Not long after, a grand master of aristocratic families was seriously injured. In desperation, the three grand masters of aristocratic families had to retreat temporarily.

After seeing the three great masters of the Jiangnan family retreating, the three great masters of the imperial court also left and did not continue to join the battlefield.

The imperial court would not use grand masters to deal with those small soldiers. Of course, another reason is that the consumption of the three grand masters of the imperial court is also very high. If all their strength is consumed in dealing with the soldiers of Su Fengcheng, the three grand masters will not be able to deal with them later. If a great master comes out again, they will probably not be able to compete.

So usually, dynasty wars are between grand masters and grand masters. Grand masters do not participate in wars below the grand master level. The same is true for this war now.

At this time, General Luo Zhaoquan said: "Charge again!"

After the words fell, the trumpet sounded again, and the imperial army attacked the city again.

However, at the end of the day, the imperial army did not capture Sufeng City. The rebels in Sufeng City were still very strong in defending the city.

After night falls.

In the inner courtyard of a restaurant in Sufeng City, dozens of black figures surrounded a well.

A man's voice sounded, "Can you leave Sufeng City through this well?"

Another man replied: "Yes, this well is connected to the seaside. You can reach the seaside directly through this well."

The man said: "In that case, let's not waste time. Brother Chu, I will trouble you to lead the way."

Chu Hongfei said with a smile: "Okay, the common people will take His Royal Highness out of Sufeng City now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hongfei pulled the rope and slowly descended into the well. Then Lu Shuyun and others also went down from the edge of the well.
