Chapter 702 God Will Not Abandon Me
Zhou Dazhuang didn't dare to run away. He thought that although Brother Jiang might have a problem with his identity, he was really good to him. He gave him clothes, armor, and taught him self-defense. Now that Brother Jiang was in trouble, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
He put down his luggage, quietly climbed up the window and climbed into the house.
Qi Yizheng's external injuries looked horrific, but what he could not bear the most were the internal injuries. The Shadow Lord of Yan State who fought with him was too skilled in martial arts and had injured his tendons and veins. He would not be able to recover for a while.
As he was falling into a daze, he seemed to feel someone coming in and moving him. He couldn't open his eyes, but he could sense that the person had no ill intentions towards him.
Zhou Dazhuang was named Dazhuang because he had been strong since he was a child, as strong as an ox, and he had a lot of strength from years of hard work. He untied the rope on Qi Yizheng, tied Qi Yizheng to himself, and easily climbed out of the window carrying Qi Yizheng on his back.
The recruit camp was located in a remote area, right next to the cook camp. Zhou Dazhuang didn't dare to carry the person out openly. If they were discovered, both of them would die.
There was really no other way, so he had to sneak into the cook camp without telling Qi Yizheng, hoping to wait until night before sneaking out.
Coincidentally, there was a man in the cook camp loading a carriage. His sneaky figure made those who didn't know think that the cook was also going to desert.
While the cook was moving things, Zhou Dazhuang climbed onto the carriage with Qi Yizheng on his back and squeezed in.
"Wow, there are several bags of food." Zhou Dazhuang put Qi Yizheng down and let him lean on the food. He wiped the sweat from his face and moved the food to barely cover himself and Qi Yizheng.
The cook carried a large vat onto the carriage, filled it with a pot of water, and then drove the carriage out.
"Stop, where are you going?" The carriage was stopped as soon as it reached the door.
The cook said, "Sir, I'm delivering food to the cavalry camp. Here's my pass."
The guard at the door checked it and found that it was indeed a pass for transporting grain, so he let it in easily.
Zhou Dazhuang in the car was so scared that his face turned pale. He swallowed his saliva and thought that they couldn't go to the cavalry camp. One of them was so injured and the other didn't know martial arts. If they went to the cavalry camp, they would definitely be questioned and it would be difficult to escape.
He lifted the curtain slightly and looked out, and saw that the carriage was moving further and further away, as if heading towards the north gate. But in his impression, the cavalry camp was not near the north gate?
Zhou Dazhuang was confused and extremely anxious for a moment. Is it too late to jump out of the car now?
At the gate of Wuya City, Feng Chenmu looked at the brave Great Zhou army, then looked at his own Yan army that had lost its fighting spirit, and clenched his fists tightly.
"All officers and men, listen up! The Great Zhou has been unkind. They have killed our princess and invaded our city. Their crimes are unforgivable. Whoever takes their general's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."
Feng Chenmu believes that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Today, no matter what the cost, he must defend Wuya City.
Because if it can't be defended, Yanyun Mountain will be occupied by the Great Zhou. It is not an ordinary mountain, it is a golden mountain that hides countless treasures.
The destiny of Yan State depends on this. As long as he has this treasure, he can make Yan State prosperous and strong, and both Xia State and Zhou State will be under his feet.
"Listen up, soldiers of Yan! You are short of food and fodder, hungry and cold. Your superiors exploit the people, conscript men to raise troops and cause rebellion. You have long lost the support of the people. Surrender immediately. Great Zhou will not kill surrendered soldiers."
Gu Yi ordered his men to speak to the Yan army to undermine their morale.
"Wuwuwu, I won't fight anymore, I won't fight anymore. I was captured and sent to join the army. The imperial court seized my family's food and conscripted men. I won't fight anymore. I want to go home."
"I'm so hungry I don't even have the strength to fight anymore. Why should I fight anymore? I want to eat. I want to eat meat!"
"What does the princess's death have to do with me? Even my daughter died and no one felt sorry for me!"
"No more fighting, I surrender!"
"surrender!"
Feng Chenmu never expected that his personal expedition would lead to the demoralization of the army.
"Hold on, kill them, kill them. We cannot give Wuya City to the Great Zhou. Absolutely not!"
It’s a pity that his words had no effect on the Yan army whose psychological defenses had already collapsed.
Perhaps the high-ranking officials of the Yan court would be afraid of the emperor's majesty and obey his orders, but the ordinary people below, although afraid of the emperor, would not obey him in everything.
In their eyes, imperial power is not as valuable as a good meal.
They will listen to whoever gives them food to eat and money to earn.
The Yan cavalry was killed without a single piece of armor left by the soldiers of the Great Zhou. The city gate was breached and groups of Great Zhou soldiers poured in.
Shadow took care of a few people, grabbed Feng Chenmu, and disappeared into the crowd.
Feng Chenmu's personal guards escorted him all the way back down the city wall, and he rode away on his warhorse.
Zhao Jiadi, holding the battle flag of the Great Zhou, flew onto the city wall of Wuya City, cut off the flag of Yan State with a knife, and inserted the battle flag of the Great Zhou into the city wall with force.
Gu Yi shook his arms, which were numb from the fighting, and shouted, "Enter the city!"
The battle of Wuya City lasted for nearly half a month, and today it was completely conquered by the Great Zhou.
"General Gu, do we want to chase the Emperor of Yan?" General Duan asked after wiping the blood off his sword.
"No, he will be needed later when the two countries negotiate peace. The most important thing now is to find Qi Yizheng. He can't die!"
Zhao Jiadi quickly led a team of people to search the city.
The cook was driving a horse-drawn carriage and met many people who were going to the north gate like him. He felt that something was wrong and hurriedly increased the speed of the carriage.
Qi Yizheng was knocked around in the carriage, which tore his wounds and woke him up in pain.
"Um...where is this?"
When Zhou Dazhuang saw that he was awake, he quickly supported him and said, "Brother Jiang, you're finally awake. You better think of a solution! We're about to be sent to the cavalry camp!"
When Qi Yizheng saw that it was Zhou Dazhuang, he calmed himself down and said slowly, "Tell him, tell him to stop and go... go to the East City Gate."
There is a dog hole next to the East Gate, which is the only way out of the city.
Zhou Dazhuang suppressed his fear, grabbed a rolling pin from the car, lifted the curtain, and shouted, "Stop, stop!"
The cook was startled when he heard the sound coming from the carriage behind him.
He quickly stopped the car, turned his head and was stunned.
Qi Yizheng also saw the driver's appearance in the light. Wasn't he the honest cook whom he had robbed before, oh no, bribed with silver by him?
He couldn't help but laugh: "Also, what a coincidence..."
Honest cook: “…”
I can run into you everywhere. I am so lucky.
Not long after, the honest cook drove the carriage to the wall with a dog hole. The bodies of the soldiers killed last night had been disposed of, but there were still large pools of blood at the scene.
Zhou Dazhuang carried the man off the carriage and, as Qi Yizheng had said, he pushed aside the three-foot-high weeds and indeed saw a dog hole.
Qi Yizheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it must have been too dark, so they didn't find the dog hole, so it wasn't blocked. God really saved me."
"People can squeeze through, but carriages can't." The honest cook frowned and said.
Qi Yizheng didn't care about him, he just had to get out by himself.
He was injured and every step he took was excruciatingly painful, but Qi Yizheng didn't care about that. He had to crawl out because his fiancée was waiting for him.
After finally getting through the dog hole with the help of Zhou Dazhuang's push, Qi Yizheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great to finally get out of town.
Zhou Dazhuang first pushed his luggage through the dog hole, and then he squeezed out himself. He was not an ungrateful person, so he quickly turned around and asked the honest cook to come out as well. However, the honest cook had cooked for him a lot every day, and his stomach was full, so he couldn't squeeze out at all. After struggling for a long time, the honest cook said embarrassedly: "You guys go, I'd better drive the carriage to the north gate to try my luck. I can't bear to leave my carriage and the food on it."
Anyway, he would never admit that it was because of his round body that he couldn't fit through.
