Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Just when Lu Chongde was worried about the fighting outside, there was a sudden noise outside the cell.

There were screams one after another, and the sound of clashing weapons became one.

"Your Majesty the Governor, Your Majesty the Governor!"

A moment later, a group of soldiers rushed into the prison, and all the guards in the prison were chopped to the ground.

Lu Chongde stood up suddenly and looked at the soldiers outside the cell.

"Who are you?"

Before he could speak, Ji He next to him spoke first and asked.

The leading soldier looked at Ji He, and was startled for a moment, then shouted: "General Ji, Commander Zuo Wan of Xiaguan Zhenbiao Right Battalion pays homage to General Ji!"

"Zuo Wan!" Ji He glanced at Zuo Wan blankly.

Zuo Wan split the lock of the cell door with his knife, "Hurry and unlock the shackles for General Ji!"

Immediately, a group of soldiers poured into the cell and opened Ji He's shackles.

At this time, Ji He's bones were still penetrated by iron nails, and the deep wounds had rotted and leaked pus. This meant that Ji He's body was strong and he had survived the initial infection, but even if he was fine now, his cultivation would probably be ruined. dropped.

The Pipa bone had been penetrated for more than a month, his shoulders had long been deformed, and his arms had long lost feeling.

"The governor is over there!" Ji He has not forgotten Lu Chongde next to him.

Hearing this, Zuo Wan quickly looked at the cell next to him. At this time, Lu Chongde looked extremely miserable, his face was haggard, and he was so thin that he was almost out of shape. Even people who were familiar with him probably wouldn't recognize him as Lu Chongde.

"quick!"

Zuo Wan did not hesitate, immediately stepped forward to open the cell and unlocked the shackles.

In fact, Lu Chongde's condition was much better than Ji He. Lu Chongde was just weak and not injured.

"Why are you here?" Lu Chongde asked.

Zuo Wan said: "Sir Governor, General Yang Zhengshan is attacking the city..."

He briefly explained the current situation at Chongshan Pass.

The soldiers of the Zhenbiao rear camp and Zhenbiao left camp on the east and west walls all defected, while their soldiers from the Zhenbiao right camp were responsible for garrisoning the northern city wall.

After discovering that the soldiers of the two battalions had defected, the soldiers of the right camp couldn't stand it any longer and switched sides one after another.

Hou Yao's reinforcement battalion was suppressing the defecting soldiers, while the defecting soldiers were fighting back. The two sides were already fighting fiercely in the city.

Zuo Wan is a smart man. When he discovered that the situation was chaotic, he immediately thought of Lu Chongde in prison.

Rescuing Lu Chongde was a great achievement. If Lu Chongde could seize the General Military Mansion in the pass under the leadership of Lu Chongde, not only would there be no fault, but it would actually be meritorious.

When the shackles were opened, Lu Chongde choked and almost fell down.

"Sir Governor!" Zuo Wan quickly supported him.

"No problem!" Lu Chongde quickly waved his hand and said: "Find me a horse, we are going to help General Yang!"

"Not going to the General Military Mansion?" Zuo Wan said doubtfully.

His idea is to seize the General Military Mansion, which is a piece of fat right under his nose.

"What's the use of going to the General Military Mansion! We can only survive if we help General Yang seize the city gate and welcome the king's troops into the city. Otherwise, once General Yang retreats, Ji Feiyu will definitely suppress everyone in Guancheng!" Lu Chongde is comparable to Zuo Wan. Have a big picture view.

Zuo Wan only wanted to make meritorious deeds, make up for his past mistakes, make new ones, and get rewards.

But Lu Chongde wanted to let Yang Zhengshan enter the city, so that he could win and take Chongshan Pass.

Although Zuo Wan hesitated, he finally chose to follow Lu Chongde's order and helped Lu Chongde out of the prison. Then he found a group of horses for Lu Chongde and helped Lu Chongde mount his horse.

"Go to the governor's office first and find my royal order flag!" Lu Chongde said weakly.

The king's flag is a symbol of his identity and power. Only with the king's flag in hand can he deploy his troops and generals.

As for whether Ji Feiyu will put away the king's order flag, he definitely won't. First of all, the governor's king's order flag has four pairs, just like the general's. Secondly, the king's order flag is just a symbol. Ji Feiyu himself has a king's order flag. , he had no use in taking Lu Chongde’s royal flag.

Besides, Lu Chongde has become a prisoner. What does Ji Feiyu want from his royal flag?

Therefore, Lu Chongde believed that Ji Feiyu definitely did not take away his royal life flag.

Soon they arrived at the governor's yamen. The governor's yamen was only sealed, not destroyed. All the officials in the yamen were killed or dismissed, but nothing in the yamen changed much.

Lu Chongde not only found his royal flag, but also his official seal.

"Sir Governor, many enemies are coming to kill you!" Zuo Wan said anxiously.

Lu Chongde handed him the king's flag and said: "Set up the flag and fight out!"

At this time, a fierce battle was taking place on the street outside the governor's office.

Zuo Wan led people into the prison and then came to the governor's office. Hou Yao's reinforcements camp also led people to chase them. The two sides fought desperately on the streets, and the streets paved with bluestones were dyed red with blood.

After getting the king's order flag, Zuo Wan found a bamboo pole and hung it up without saying anything.

"According to the order of the Governor, eliminate the rebels!"

"Brothers, kill!"

What is justifiable?

Holding the king's order flag in hand and carrying the governor's order, this is the right thing to do!

If it was just Zuo Wan himself, then he could only be regarded as a rebel. Whether it was a traitor or a defector, he had no royal authority and could only be regarded as a rebel at most.

But it was different with Lu Chongde. Lu Chongde was the governor of Chongshan Town and the highest official in Chongshan Pass. His orders were higher than Ji Feiyu's.

At this time, Zuo Wan had the governor's order, which was justified and justified.

"You guys, protect the governor!"

Zuo Wan ordered his brothers around him, and rushed out of the governor's office holding the royal order banner.

"According to the governor's order, eliminate the rebellion!"

"According to the governor's order, eliminate the rebellion!"

"Kill!"

The fighting on the street was still fierce, but when Zuo Wan rushed out holding the royal order banner, the soldiers who were fighting were shocked and their morale was greatly boosted.

At the same time, many soldiers who turned against their sides gathered around looking at the royal order banner.

"Go, take out my ceremonial guards from the ceremonial warehouse!"

Lu Chongde ordered the soldiers around him again.

But the royal order banner was not enough. The royal order banner was too small, not ostentatious, and not conspicuous enough.

"Go to the wing room and see if there is my official robe!"

The ceremonial guard and official uniform are symbols of his status. The more conspicuous he is at this time, the better. Only in this way can he gather more soldiers who have defected.

After a while, Lu Chongde changed into his official robe, and several soldiers held his official title card or beat the gong.

Two official title cards, one with the words "Right Censor of the Censorate" and the other with the words "Governor of Chongshan Town".

The gong led the way, and the soldiers shouted loudly: "According to the order of the governor, eliminate the rebellion!"

The group walked out of the governor's office, and Lu Chongde got on the horse with the help of the soldiers.

Riding on the horse, Lu Chongde tried his best to keep his body straight.

"Shout!" Lu Chongde ordered.

The soldiers around him immediately obeyed and continued to shout: "According to the order of the governor, eliminate the rebellion!"

The shouting became louder and louder, and more and more soldiers gathered around.

The sound of fighting became louder and louder.

The battle in the city intensified. Although the reinforcements that came to suppress the battle still had an advantage, their advantage was gradually reduced as more and more soldiers surrounded Lu Chongde.

At this time, Yang Mingzhi had already led his soldiers to the city gate, but the resistance at the city gate was even stronger, and they were blocked on the street of the city gate.

Outside the city, the tragic siege continued. The soldiers of the three guards climbed up the city wall one after another, and were killed or knocked down by the enemy on the city wall.

However, when Niu Zhuang and Tang Feihu took action, they finally stood on the city wall.

Yang Zhengshan observed the battle on the city wall, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"Almost! Give me the gun!"

Up to now, all the help that should appear has appeared, and all the forces that can be mobilized have been mobilized. The only thing left is to fight to the death.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan could not see the situation in the city, but he could see the chaos on the east and west walls.

Yang Mingzhi handed the black iron spear to Yang Zhengshan, who raised the black iron spear and shouted with a cold face: "The personal guard battalion will follow me to attack the city, and the five army battalions will attack the city gate!"

With an order, he led the personal guard battalion and the five army battalions to rush towards Chongshan Pass.

The sound of horse hooves resounded, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed out more than a hundred feet.

On the city gate tower, Ji Feiyu looked at the mighty personal guard battalion and the five army battalions, his eyes condensed, "Your Majesty, if things are impossible, Your Majesty should evacuate immediately!"

King Qing also looked at the army under the city. He knew that the final battle was about to begin, and the victory or defeat would be in the next moment!

"This king knows!"

He did not reject Ji Feiyu's kindness.

Ji Feiyu nodded, holding a trident in his hand, stepped forward, stood on the top of the city, and looked at Yang Zhengshan who was riding a horse.

Yang Zhengshan also saw him. In fact, Yang Zhengshan had already seen Ji Feiyu and King Qing.

The two had been standing in front of the city gate tower, and he couldn't help but see them.

Before anyone arrived, two short spears flew out.

Swoosh~~

The short spears were like thunder, hitting Ji Feiyu directly.

Ji Feiyu's eyes flashed, and he raised his trident and hit the short spear accurately.

But he seemed to underestimate the power of the short spear, and his body couldn't help but step back a few steps.

Ji Feiyu's face was a little ugly!

But Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up slightly.

Seeing that the city wall was right in front of him, Yang Zhengshan jumped up and stood on the horse's back, "Hongyun!"

"Xilulu~~"

Hongyun let out a neigh, and his huge body jumped up, actually jumping more than two feet high. Yang Zhengshan borrowed the force in the air, stepped heavily on Hongyun's back, and his figure suddenly rose and jumped onto the city wall.

Xilulu~~

Hongyun let out another neigh when he landed, and then turned around and ran back.

At the same time, the guards behind them jumped off their horses. Their horses were not as powerful as Hong Yun, who could jump two feet high. They did not have the strength of Yang Zhengshan, and could not jump directly onto the city wall, so they still had to use the cloud ladder.

However, the soldiers of the guards had a cultivation base of about the fifth level of the acquired realm. As long as they used the cloud ladder to gain some strength, they could jump onto the ten-foot-high city wall.

As for the five military camps behind them, well, their cultivation base was much lower, and most of them were just ordinary warriors, so they had abandoned their horses when they were far away from the city wall and galloped towards the city gate.

Thousands of horses were led away from the battlefield by Hong Yun.
