Chapter 694 (2/2)

Cheng zhaobing retreated, and Xiao mubai could not send someone to chase him.

Chang'an is still occupied by concubine Li. All they have to do is guard the imperial city and wait for General Zhao to attack.

The burning man under the city tower has burned into a charred body, but the loss of more than a thousand people has caused a serious psychological shadow to the rebels.

After a ”reprimand”, all Ren family spies finished firing rockets and returned to Mingxiang garden from all directions again.

Although the gate of Mingxiang garden was only opened and closed, it also reduced the pressure of General Zhao's attack on the city. Angrily, Shi Fuqiu shouted at General Zhao: ”your grandson is the one who has blacked his heart.”

Although general Zhao didn't know what was going on in the city, listening to the scream in the city and the abuse of Shi Fuqiu with a blue face, he guessed that it was early summer.

The soldiers led by General Zhao thought that the imperial city was in danger. It was a long-term fierce battle, but they didn't expect that the people in the imperial city suddenly broke out, and there was still room for cooperation with them.

At this time, without the command of old general Zhao, the morale of the army was greatly strengthened, and the attack on the city became more and more fierce.

At the same time, there are Hou ye and Huo Tianxiu who rush back all the way west.

The letters they sent back one after another sank into the sea, making them more and more sure that something big must have happened in Beijing.

The detention of Miao Heng dragged down their speed, and the Marquis simply handed him over to Hu Yingmao.

Even so, the distance between them was still not fast. The Marquis could not ride for a long time because of his low back injury, so he had to take a carriage.

The two were anxious and discussed. Huo Tianxiu took his subordinates and hurried back to Beijing first.

The Marquis stayed behind to keep in touch with him and was ready for a rainy day.

Huo Tianxiu passed through the junction of Wanzhou and Huixin and arrived at Chi'an. Only then did he hear the wind from Chi Xiang, the Navy leader of Chi'an.

Chi Xiang was once a subordinate of Huo Tianxiu. Seeing him appear in Chi'an, he revealed a strange thing.

They had occasional contact with each other when they practiced naval forces in Chishui and Gushui city near Chang'an. Although they were not dense, they never stopped.

Chi Xiang once paid a courtesy door-to-door visit. Only then did he find that the garrison in Gushui city was evacuated, and the original navy was temporarily arranged to serve as the training of the garrison.

Although it was strange, how could Chi Xiang think that the garrison division of Gushui city would take them to capture Chang'an.

Seeing Huo Tianxiu at the moment, Chi Xiangcai asked in some panic: ”Huo Tidu, what will happen to Chang'an?”

The reason why he asked was that the garrison commander had not led the troops out of the city, otherwise they must pass through Chi'an, so they could only disappear in Chang'an.

Huo Tianxiu's heartbeat began to accelerate, his scalp was numb, his eyebrows were wrinkled very tightly, and he suddenly breathed heavily.

He and the Marquis had made various assumptions and never thought that the garrison commander would lead troops to Chang'an.

The emperor will not use these people at all, so the only possibility is that the garrison commander led the army back to Beijing without an imperial edict, and he happened to leave the capital at this time.

Huo Tianxiu was so stuffy that he didn't dare to think about it anymore
