Li Qing lived in the palace of Mohedu. He marched for several months and was covered with stars and moonlight. The conditions were as difficult as the soldiers. A thin military blanket was spread directly on the ground. He slept with clothes every day and prepared to fight at any time. He was already exhausted. But tonight he got the enjoyment of a king. He was covered with a thick velvet blanket, a soft and smooth quilt covered his body. The room emitted a faint fragrance. He slept very sweetly. The palace was very quiet and there was no sound.

Suddenly, the knock on the door sounded, and the sound was rapid and violent. Li Qing suddenly woke up from his dream. He almost jumped up instinctively and touched the sword hanging above his head, but he felt it empty, and then he remembered that he was in the palace of Mohedu.

He calmed down and looked out the window. The sky outside the window was still dark blue, and the stars were flashing everywhere. It was not dawn, but now I was knocking on the door. Did something happen? Li Qing's thoughts turned rapidly, and he immediately remembered the scene of Budu's furious moment when he left.

The personal soldiers living outside opened the door and whispered a few words to the knocker. Before Li Qing could hear what they were saying, a black shadow rushed towards her like a whirlwind. She grabbed Li Qing and said anxiously: "You leave Tuozhe City quickly! Budu's army is coming at dawn."

It was the voice of a young woman. Li Qing suddenly smelled a fragrance emitting from her body, and immediately realized that it was Princess Luo Lan.

At this time, the personal soldiers lit up the lights in the room, and the soft and bright lights immediately spread. It was indeed her. She was still wearing a samurai outfit, with her clear nose and lips as gentle as jade, but her eyes were full of anxiety, and her hands tightly grasped her arm.

"Don't worry! Tell me, what happened?"

Li Qing stood up, pulled her wrist and walked to the chair to sit down, and smiled and said, "Tell me! How did you get the news? Who told you?"

Li Qing's calmness made Princess Luo Lan's anxious heart gradually calm down. She gently struggled out her wrist from Li Qing's hand. Li Qing smiled apologetically and moved her body backwards a little further away from her. At this moment, Princess Luo Lan suddenly felt a little regretful. She lowered her head and said, "It was Che Duodu who came to inform me that Budu had 5,000 troops a hundred miles away from the West. He had already rushed back to pick up troops last night and asked him to kill you."

"Of course he wants to kill me!" Li Qing sneered coldly and smiled proudly, "The question is, can he kill me?"

At this time, the personal soldiers had packed up their things, and Li Qing took the sword casually. He asked while walking, "Where is your father?"

"I don't know where he is either? He can't be found everywhere."

Li Qing suddenly remembered the horse house and immediately smiled and said, "I know where he is, come with me!"

He took Princess Luo Lan to walk out quickly. He had already made a plan, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

"But if you don't run away, it will be too late!" Princess Luo Lan saw that Li Qing was calm, and although she admired his calmness in her heart, the situation was urgent. Even if he escaped a thousand miles, the cannibal would still catch up with him. She didn't know Li Qing's intention and couldn't help but shout in a hurry.

"Escape?" Li Qing suddenly stopped and looked back at Princess Luo Lan and smiled, "When did I want to escape?"

"You, won't you leave?" Princess Luo Lan was stunned. She stopped hesitantly and looked at Li Qing with a blank look on her face.

"I want you to see that some people have poor archery skills, but they can still sweep away thousands of troops!" Li Qing reached out and patted her cheek, turned around and laughed.

Princess Luo Lan was snatched by his aura. She touched the cheek that was patted by Li Qing, stared blankly at his back, and her eyes became fascinated.

A quarter of an hour later, three hundred cavalry "Tang Army" ran towards the south of the city like lightning. The huge sound of horse hooves shattered the quiet night. Almost all the people in the city woke up from their dreams, and they didn't know what happened. However, Che Bishi knew that something was wrong. The surveillance man stumbled and told him that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had fled and could not find Mo Hedu and his daughter in the palace. They should have left together.

Che Bishi was almost crazy and his son didn't return overnight. Needless to say, he must have been stimulated to report the news. He had always been obsessed with the little demon girl! But when Budu came back, how did he explain? Thinking of the devil's cruel methods, Che Bishi was so scared that his heart stopped beating.

"Quick! Hurry! Let all the troops chase, and you must encircle them. Never let them run away." Now that things have come, Che Bishi no longer cares about the consequences. Whether he can capture Li Qing and Mo Hedu and his daughter is related to his life and safety is a huge matter. After his orders, nearly five thousand loyal troops immediately flocked out of the city and chased south.

The Shi Kingdom had about 30,000 troops, of which Chebishi had 7,000 troops, and Mohe had 5,000 troops. The two kings' troops were stationed in the capital, and the rest were private troops of various nobles, distributed in various parts of the Shi Kingdom. In the war with Bahanna, the Chebishi army was almost independently supported by the heavy losses. After withdrawing the capital, only more than 4,000 people were left, and they had a draw with Mohe Duda. This time, the pursuit of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty almost emptied all the troops of Chebishi, causing a situation of one-sided force in Tuozhe City to suddenly appear. At this moment, something that Chebishi could never dream of happening quietly.

The night was still shrouded in the earth, the stars were shining brightly, and the stars in the sky seemed to be gems on the sky, but the eastern sky had already faintly turned blue. Many early merchants opened the door to prepare for shipment. Near the Chebishi Palace is the prosperous place in Tuozhe City, and they have to come early to occupy a seat every day. But today, many early merchants hid in the alley and looked quietly. They saw dense soldiers surrounding the Chebishi Palace, with nearly a thousand people. Several familiar merchants discovered the clues. The generals who led the soldiers were actually Mo Hedu's confidants.

"A coup has occurred!" This explosive news swept the whole city like a sudden sandstorm.

Teams of soldiers ran towards the city gate, and the people who kept calling out were ordered to return home immediately. The city gate was closed and had been controlled by those loyal to Mohedu. Except for the soldiers surrounding the palace, the other soldiers all went to the city and paid close attention to the situation in the West.

In the palace, Che Nose was limping on the ground like a dead dog, looking at the soldiers around him in despair. They were not the warriors of the Shi Kingdom, but the Tang army, but the Tang army who had changed their costumes. He knew that he had been fooled, so stupid! He actually gave the knife to the other party if he wanted to kill someone.

Che Duoduo was already tied up. He fell to the corner of the wall, staring at Princess Luo Lan in military uniform with resentment. Her eyes were filled with the pain of being deceived and fooled. Princess Luo Lan was forced by his eyes, and felt a little guilty in her heart. She quietly hid behind Li Qing. She followed Li Qing to find her father in the basement. Li Qing only said a few words to her father, and the situation suddenly changed drastically. She never dreamed that Li Qing would take this move. Indeed, as long as Che Bishi sent troops to chase them, they would win, but she didn't expect that Che Bishi would actually send all the soldiers out. Perhaps he didn't expect that his father was still in the city at all!

"Are they going to die?" Princess Luo Lan suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart. She looked at Li Qing uneasyly, and saw that he had a cold look and a very serious expression. Princess Luo Lan's lips moved, but she could not say anything about pleading.

Li Qing slowly walked to Che Bishi, glanced at him coldly, and sneered: "Your Highness, at this time, I kill you like crushing an ant to death, and then I will announce that you were killed by the Great Food Envoy. At that time, all the people of Shiguo will regret you, do you believe it?"

Li Qing's words contained mystery. As the king of a country, how could he not hear it? He slowly raised his head and asked hoarsely after a long time: "Your terms are to ask my soldiers to surrender?"

Li Qing smiled faintly. This was Mo Hedu's condition. For him, even if there was no condition, he would not kill Che Bishi. Che Bishi's other identity was the governor of Dayuan, who was enthroned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he was killed rashly, Gao Xianzhi would catch the handle, which would be detrimental to him politically. The most favorable way was to escort their father and son to Chang'an and hand it over to Li Longji for disposal. Unfortunately, Che Bishi did not see this, otherwise he could bargain with Li Qing in reverse.

"Yes, we want to resist Budu's counterattack, and the troops are not enough, so we need your army to help. As long as you agree to cooperate, I can not kill you."

This was a dilemma. So what if he didn't agree? After this, will Budu spare him? But after agreeing, his throne could not be saved. Chebishi lowered his head in pain, "Let me think about it!"

"I will give you half an hour at most. If your army has surrendered to Dashi, then I have to kill you to sacrifice the flag!"

Li Qing stood up, and he suddenly saw Mo He appear at the door, so he threw down his car and strode towards him.

Mo He was entrusted by Li Qingzhi to convene the nobles of the Shi Kingdom for a meeting, asking them to take the lead in releasing all slaves, forming a slave army, and resisting the invasion of the cannibals. Although the method was good, it involved personal interests, and these nobles were unwilling to let go easily.

"How is it, do they all agree?" Li Qing saw that Mo He had a serious expression and said slightly, "Do they refuse to agree?"

Mo He smiled bitterly and said, "It's agreed, but they hope the court can provide compensation."

"Let Datang compensate them? It's really a pity that they can think of it!"

Li Qing shook his head contemptuously and sneered coldly: "Dashi is coming, let's go through this disaster first!"

Liberating slaves, especially those who liberated the Tang Dynasty, was the most important part of Li Qing's plan. This was related to whether he could have his own army. The descendants of the Tang Dynasty's slaves in the Shi Kingdom were as many as 100,000, and there were 30,000 people in the capital Tuozhecheng alone. Most of them were engaged in handicrafts. Some were old, some gave birth to second generations, and even had grandchildren. However, their identities were still slaves. Without freedom, their wives and children could be bought and sold at will.

But just yesterday, several Tang soldiers came among them and told them that the Tang Dynasty's special envoys were coming, and that the day of their liberation was coming, and that they would be able to return to their hometown.

The news spread rapidly among these slaves, making everyone extremely excited. This is the dream of two or even three generations. Their roots are in the Tang Dynasty, and even if they die, they hope to return to their hometown.

When the sky was dawn, the soldiers began to count the slaves from house to house, and ordered them to gather in the square in front of the palace. Soon, the square was filled with dark crowds, unable to see at first sight, and even the streets were full of people. Each of them had hope in their eyes, and their hair fluttered in the morning breeze.

"Here! Come!" The slaves in the square surged, and a young Tang general came over under the escort of hundreds of warriors. Behind him, carriages were piled with swords, guns, bows and arrows.

Li Qing waved his hand gently, and the square immediately became quiet. He took a deep breath and began to give a speech to them:

"I am the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the deputy arch-guardian of Anxi. I came from Chang'an and was commissioned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to join forces with the Shi Kingdom to fight against the great cannibals. They were a group of jackals who ate people and did not spit bones. Wherever they went, they were hell on earth.

Now, they are about to come, and once you occupy the Kingdom of Stone, you will not be spared, and you will be sold to the farther West, where you and your descendants will be slaves forever and will never be able to return to your hometown.”

Li Qing stood on the high wooden platform, his voice clear and infectious, and the square was silent, and everyone was tilted to listen quietly. There were old people with white hair; there were young children who snuggled beside their mothers; there were thick men who blocked their wives and children behind them.

Li Qing looked at his eyes full of hope and waiting, looking at the old faces among them, and looking at their skin color and faces like himself, his heart was surging, and pointed his hand at the pile of weapons like a hill, and said loudly: "I can give you freedom, but the jackal has arrived at the doorstep. You cannot expect the Shi people to protect them. Men need to take up weapons and protect your wives, children and parents. This is my only condition, and it is the price for you to obtain freedom. Come on! Men who are willing to fight for freedom, warriors who are willing to become soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, please stand up!"

The crowd began to boil, and countless men were discussing with their relatives, "I am the first!" A burly man shouted and stood up with his wife's encouragement, "I am willing to become a soldier in the Tang Dynasty and make meritorious in war!"

"I'll come too!"

"I'm the one!"

One after another, some of them were passionate and some were silent. Yesterday they were slaves to the Shi people, and today they will become soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, fighting against the great cannibalism invasion for their homeland thousands of miles away.

Li Qing's three hundred guards rushed up one after another, some distributed weapons, and some briefly explained the key points of using weapons to them. Each of them led a group of people and simply formed a combat team.

At this time, Wu Xingsu came forward to report to Li Qing, but his eyes were full of worries. "Governor, let's take a rough look. There are about 6,000 young and strong people, but they have not been trained, so I'm afraid it won't work!"

"If you can't do it, you have to go!" Li Qing stared at the dark clouds rolling in the west and said softly: "The storm is coming, so let them receive the baptism of blood in the storm!"

Three fast horses were flying on the grassland, and the leader was Duan Xiushi. He rushed out of the city gate with the three hundred fake Tang troops, but his target was the Doulu Army camp a hundred miles away. They ran wildly on the grassland like lightning, and arrived at the camp in just one hour.

"General Duan, where is the governor?"

Nan Jiyun, who ran out after hearing the news, saw that their horses were almost exhausted from running, and secretly felt something was wrong in his heart. Li Qing might have had something wrong.
