Chapter Thirty Good News and Bad News(1/2)
Something is not right.
Seeing Xia Yong turn his head and relax his movements, Li Guorui also exhaled.
He had been tired for a long time, but he just didn't want to lose his standing in front of the Qingshan Army. Now that he saw Xia Yong withdrawing from the team, he hurriedly relaxed his shoulders and rubbed his sore arms.
"Isn't that right?" he said, "Didn't you say that another golden soldier is coming? Even if we set up the formation, we should have arrived by now."
They didn't understand the doubts here, and neither did the people in the rear.
"Should we fight these cowards?" Zhao Hanqing became even more impatient and urged his horse to spin in circles, "Sister, let me go and take a look."
Recently, for safety reasons, Miss Jun has not asked Zhao Hanqing to serve as a sentinel.
Zhao Hanqing was very low energy for this and would bring it up whenever he found an opportunity.
Miss Jun smiled.
"You don't need to go, there's one in front of you," she said.
"But they haven't heard anything for so long." Zhao Hanqing said, "Did something happen?"
Probably not. These sentries are the best at hiding, detecting and escaping. Moreover, she has repeatedly requested that they do not need to kill the enemy. Even if they see a gold thief alone, they should not take action.
Their job is to be sentinels.
Miss Jun raised her head and looked ahead to see how many Jin soldiers there were and what phalanx they had assembled, but no signal was sent.
What happened over there?
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and three sentinels came galloping over.
Xia Yong, Li Guorui and other people in the front formation looked surprised.
He actually exposed his whereabouts and came back in person?
"Miss Jun." The sentinels entered the square formation, dismounted their horses and saluted, and said hurriedly, "The golden soldiers have retreated."
The Jin soldiers retreated?
Just now they saw the Jin soldiers retreating.
"No, all the golden soldiers." The sentry said, with an expression of disbelief. "The ten thousand golden soldiers who just came have also retreated. We followed them all the way to see that they have withdrawn from Bazhou."
Ten thousand gold soldiers withdrew from Bazhou?
What happened?
Miss Jun could not hide her surprise.
…………………………
What happened?
Standing in front of the city, looking at the wide open city gate, Zhu Zan and others looked a little strange.
The soldier who came to report the news also stepped forward cautiously.
"It's strange," he said, "It clearly says there are golden soldiers here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Zan was seen urging his horse to walk towards the city.
"Hey, hey." He shouted in fright, "What if it's an empty city plan..."
"Your mother's city is empty." Zhu Zan said without looking back and galloped into the city.
The hundreds of soldiers behind him immediately followed.
In a blink of an eye, there was only one soldier left at the gate of the city who reported the news. He looked around and felt that it was safer to follow the crowd, so he hurriedly urged his horse to catch up.
There were signs of burning, looting, and vandalism on the street, but the damage was not extensive. It seemed that the damage suddenly stopped while it was in progress.
"Is there anyone else?" Zhu Zan suddenly shouted, "I am Zhu Zan, the eldest son of Duke Chengguo. I have been ordered to escort the people out of the country."
This sound suddenly sounded in the dead silent street, making the soldiers following behind tremble in fright.
Scary, don’t attract golden soldiers!
But Zhu Zan did not stop. He urged his horse to gallop down the street and shouted loudly. The other soldiers also shouted.
The sound echoed in the empty street, and everyone's expressions became more and more nervous as they walked inside.
There was nervousness about the possible ambush of Jin soldiers and the fear of seeing civilians dying again.
Suddenly a door opened on the street, and several frightened men and women looked at Zhu Zan and others on the street.
"Yes, they are Duke Cheng's soldiers?" the leader of the men shouted tremblingly.
Still alive!
Zhu Zan raised his hand and wiped away the blood on his face.
"Yes." He said in a loud voice, "Don't you recognize me? Don't you recognize the prince Zhu Zan who is so talented and outstanding?"
The crown prince of Chengguo.
The men and women looked at the man who claimed to be the crown prince of Chengguo. Although the blood stains were wiped off randomly, the face covered with blood and dust could not be seen as Yushu Linfeng.
Looking at the hundreds of soldiers in front of me, their armors were somewhat tattered and stained with blood. Their swords and spears were also stained with blood. They were stout and very fierce.
But this ferocity is not scary. Seeing that they have the same faces and features as themselves, and the familiar Zhou soldiers' robes, the men and women all rushed out crying.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bing actually came.
Men and women all rushed out, knelt down, cried and kowtowed.
Don't abandon me.
Don't abandon me.
As these people came out, more and more people on the street ran out of their hiding places. Looking at the dense crowd on the street, Zhu Zan and other soldiers felt relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, we are all alive.
"What's going on?" Xin Bing asked in surprise, "Didn't Jin Bing enter the city?"
Upon hearing this, the people's faces became even more panicked.
"Here they come," said a chubby squire who was hiding somewhere and had a gray face. "There are so many here, it's scary."
Coming?
Xin Bing was startled.
"Where are the people?" he shouted.
The people also looked a little surprised, looking at Zhu Zan and others in front of them.
"Didn't you beat them away, Master?" someone asked.
"Yes, they left suddenly earlier." Everyone hurriedly followed.
Sudden?
Zhu Zan looked at his companions.
It seems to be the reason for the retreat horn.
What happened? Why did you suddenly quit?
"Never mind them, let's leave quickly." Xin Bing said, "Maybe the gold thieves have gone to gather, they say there are 10,000 or 20,000 troops."
The people around suddenly changed their colors and screamed in shock.
"Sir, save me."
"Gong Chengguo, please save us."
They cried and shouted, and countless people knelt down in the streets.
"Of course, we are here to save you." Zhu Zan said loudly, gesturing for the people to get up, "I will stay behind to block the gold thieves, you can leave now."
The people got up in panic, helped the old and the young and ran out of the city.
Seeing the people rushing south, Xinbing came to Zhu Zan again.
"Master, let's go quickly and follow them," he said.
Zhu Zan looked to the north.
"We still need to go to other places to look." He said, "We will count as many people as we can find."
"There are already quite a few." Xin Bing said anxiously, "The Jin people have already entered the country."
But his words were completely useless. Zhu Zan had already driven out of the city gate and ran north, followed closely by hundreds of soldiers behind him.

"sister!"
Zhao Hanqing's horse galloped from a distance.
"I know what's going on."
Xia Yong, Li Guorui and Yang Jing, who were standing around the camp, all came over.
