Thinking of this, Li Xianzhong couldn't help but laugh proudly, so he beat the horse very quickly.

Just as he was intoxicated by his pride, a sudden silence brought him back to reality.

"Stop, who?"

Li Xianzhong looked up and found that he had arrived at the city of Taizhou. When the guards on the city tower saw a group of more than a dozen of them, they were rushing towards the city gate, but they didn't recklessly and immediately shot arrows. Otherwise, I'd be afraid that Li Xianzhong would have become a hedgehog now!

When Li Xianzhong thought of this, he felt a cold sweat on his back and began to regret his recklessness. At the same time, Li Xianzhong also secretly warned himself to be extremely careful from now on; otherwise, a small mistake in detail could lead to the failure of his entire plan and he would eventually die without a complete body.

"I am Li Xianzhong of the Li family in Liaodong. The former Liaodong general Li Rubai is my father. The brothers in the city told me that Li Xianzhong came from the south late at night and lost his direction for a while. I hope we can get into the city for a short rest."

The guards didn't know who Li Rubai was, but he still knew the name of the Li clan in Liaodong. The Li family was so famous in the Ming Dynasty. They might not know who the chief minister of the cabinet was, but if they said they didn't know the Li clan in Liaodong, they would definitely be laughed at.

He heard that the person under the city was the Li clan of Liaodong, so he did not dare to neglect it. He had heard about it early in the morning that his current garrison general was also from the Li clan of Liaodong. Then Li Xianzhong was like the family of the garrison general.

When the general's family comes, he naturally needs to receive it well.

Not long after, Liu Changle came to the city.

"But is the eldest son of the General?" Liu Changle shouted at the top of the city.

"It's my Uncle Liu." Li Xianzhong immediately replied when he heard Liu Changle's voice.

"But now that the Shandong war is in chaos, there are many rebels from the Scented Sect recently in Taizhou City. It's late at night, it's not appropriate to open the city gate! It's better to be patient under the city for a night. After staying tonight, I will definitely open the city gate for you." Liu Changle is also a mature and polite person.

Li Xianzhong became anxious when he heard this. "Uncle Liu, then you will kill me. It is precisely because we are constantly chasing the thieves of the Scent Sect on the road that we have to ask for help! If you even stay in your door, we are afraid that we will be killed by the thieves of the Scent Sect without waiting until dawn."

Liu Changle was a little skeptical. "You said you were chased by the people from the Scented Sect?"

"It's true!" Li Xianzhong said seriously.

"Do you know how many of them are?" Liu Changle was very careful.

"There are about one or two hundred people! If our horses hadn't been running fast, I'd probably have become their captives at this time."

Liu Changle pondered silently.

At this moment, a group of people ran out shouting from the northeast corner. There were about a hundred of them, all of them were infantry. All of them were covered with red scarves on their heads, and they could tell at a glance that they were all scented scholars.

Seeing this, Li Xianzhong turned around and rushed back with his more than ten cavalrymen. These incense-smelling scholars were killed by Li Xianzhong and then dispersed one after another, which did not constitute much lethality.

After repelling the enemy, Li Xianzhong returned to the edge of the city and said to Liu Changle on the top of the city, "Uncle Liu, you have seen it too. These thieves can be said to be everywhere now. Although we have repelled this group, we are afraid that a new group will come soon. The thieves are like locusts, and they can't kill them no matter how hard they are. When I went north from Nanjing, there were more than 30 servants accompanying him, but when I arrived here, only these ten people were left.

If we stayed outside the city for another night, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to survive."

Speaking of this, Li Xianzhong pretended to be sad, "If I die, please send my body back to Liaodong for the sake of my past friendship with my father."

Liu Changle on the top of the city did not speak.

When Li Xianzhong said this, he secretly peeked at Liu Changle, but because they were too far apart, he could not see Liu Changle's expression at all. Li Xianzhong cursed in his heart, thinking that his tricks had almost been used up, but this old guy still couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this moment, a group of people shouted again behind him. Listening to the sound, the number of enemies this time was no less than five hundred.

Li Xianzhong gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and was about to take another rush. The city gate behind him suddenly opened, and a cavalry of about a hundred people surged out from it. The leader was Liu Changle. Before Li Xianzhong turned around and fought again, these people had already fought with the people from the Scented Sect.

The hundred people brought out by Liu Changle were still his elite guards, and these mobs of the incense smelling sect were naturally no match for them. In a few strokes, these incense smelling sects were killed and fled.

Liu Changle then came to Li Xianzhong's side.

"Don't blame Li Xian. It's not that I didn't save you when I die. I was really forced by the situation. I had to do it! I was born a little cold. I was supported by Lingzun's tent back then. If I hadn't Lingzun, I wouldn't have been like Liu Changle. I, Liu Changle, would never have forgotten this kindness one day."

After saying that, Liu Changle rode his horse and Li Xianzhong into the city side by side.

Liu Changle arranged Li Xianzhong in his general's mansion.

"Nephew Li Xian, you have been going north and I think you must have experienced a lot of hardships. Everyone is tired. I won't disturb you anymore. You can rest for a night first!" After saying that, Liu Changle sighed softly.

"Following this situation, I'm afraid you won't have such an opportunity tomorrow or the next day, so you can sleep peacefully!"

When Li Xianzhong heard this, he pretended to be concerned, "What, but what is the difficulty of Uncle Liu? If you need your nephew to serve, just say it."

Liu Changle shook his head, "It's nothing. But when I look at this situation, I'm afraid the rebels will be besieged Taizhou soon. When the battle starts, it will naturally be difficult to sleep well again.

However, please don’t worry. There are four or five thousand men in Taizhou City defending the city. I believe that even if Xu Hongru comes to attack in person, he may not be able to attack. You can sleep with peace of mind."

After saying that, Liu Changle turned around and left.

Li Xianzhong returned to his room but couldn't sleep. He was waiting for an opportunity. However, he believed that this opportunity would come soon. Because it was an appointment with Huang Yudie before he came. This opportunity was created by them artificially.

It was about the third day of the day when I suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "It's not good! The enemy is sieging the city!" Then there were people shouting and the neighing of horses.

Li Xianzhong sat up from the bed, reached out and took the sword on the table in his hand, and then ran out of the room.

The ten subordinates who came with each other also held their waist knives and stood neatly in the yard. Li Xianzhong looked at Liu Changle's yard, which was only a wall away from him, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.

"Let's go!" Li Xianzhong issued a brief order and stepped out of the courtyard first.

Liu Changle hurriedly put on his armor and came to the top of the city. Sure enough, he saw a large number of incense-smelling scholars gathering under the city outside the city.

Due to the hazy moonlight, Liu Changle didn't know how many enemies there were under the city. Just judging from their torches, Liu Changle estimated that the number of people should be less than 10,000.

Liu Changle was not nervous. He had four or five thousand people in the city, and only ten thousand enemies were siege and there were no heavy weapons for siege. Naturally, he would not take them seriously.

"Don't panic, it's just a mob. Remember for me, if the enemy attacks the city, if the distance is far away, you can use bows and arrows, tinder oil and stones. Try to put the enemy closer and then attack them, and don't waste our arrows."

The guards agreed, Liu Changdong nodded, got off the city wall and was about to go to the other city walls to take a look, when he met Li Xianzhong.

"Why are you here?" Liu Changle was a little surprised.

"Let's come... take your head!" Li Xianzhong saw that Huang Yudie's army had arrived and knew it was time to take action.
