Chapter 119 Ruizong's Order

No one expected that the leader of the New Moon would do this. He was shocked and shouted in unison: "Chasing!" He rushed towards the city gate by horse.

When he arrived at Jianchun Gate, Chen Wanrong shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly!"

The officers and soldiers guarding the city stood on the top of the city and replied: "The prince has strict orders, no one is allowed to enter and exit!"

Li Longji issued this strict order to prevent Xinyue from leaving the city after the failure of the matter, which was inconvenient to capture it. Unexpectedly, it was used on Chen Wanrong and the others. Chen Wanrong was extremely anxious and shouted: "I am the artillery general Chen Wanrong, I order you to open the city gate immediately! I will bear all the consequences!"

This is the first time Chen Wanrong uses this new identity, but it is useless. The soldiers guarding the city still ignore it: "General Chen, you have the burden, we all know. However, the prince is strict in his orders and cannot disobey!"

Li Longji's orders were extremely strict, and no one dared to violate them.

If he didn't go out, the leader of the Xinyue Sect didn't know where to escape. Chen Wanrong didn't care about anything else, waved his hand and shouted, "Take them down!" The artillery responded to his order and surrounded the city gate officers and soldiers.

"Stop!" With a loud shout, Li Longji arrived on a horse: "Open the city gate!"

He came in time. If he had come one step late, the city gate officers and soldiers would have given the weapons to the artillery. The city gate officers and soldiers took the order and hurriedly opened the city gate. Chen Wanrong and the others left the city.

While leaving the city, Li Longji asked about his feelings just now. He only learned the reason why Chen Wanrong and the others were going to force their way out of the city. He sighed: "Things in the world are really unpredictable! I originally wanted to prevent the Crescent Sect from escaping, but I didn't expect to stop you!"

Chen Wanrong was also surprised that Li Longji ordered the city gate to be opened without asking about the passage. This was his great trust in them.

When he arrived at the place where the leader of the Crescent Clan jumped off the city wall, Ge Shuhan waved his hand and the artillery immediately dispersed and searched everywhere. No blood was found or water marks were found.

The leader of the Crescent Moon broke his arm. If he went ashore, there would be blood. The moat in Chang'an is wide and deep. As soon as he jumped down, he might fall into the moat and there would be water marks on the shore.

None of these two means that he did not go ashore. Li Longji rebelled and immediately ordered: "The order is: one blockade of all waterways connected to Chang'an, and two, all waterway gates flowing into the city are put down."

Since the Han Dynasty, the "Eight Waters surround Chang'an" has been very famous. The Eight Waters refer to Jing, Wei, Wu, Wu, Lao, Feng, Zheng, Ba, and Wu. It not only facilitates water transportation in Chang'an, but also provides water for Chang'an. The water supply in the palace is all due to this, and the waterway directly leads to the palace.

When he fell into the moat, as long as the water quality was good enough, he could go anywhere he wanted to go. It was precisely because of this that Li Longji decided to block the waterway.

Chen Wanrong added: "Search immediately, pay special attention to whether there are any water marks and blood on the ground!"

Li Longji agreed with this. He was relieved to hear Ge Shuhan's report on the Longwu Army's arrest of spies and ordered Ge Fushun to transfer the Longwu Army to start a search.

Not only the Longwu Army and artillery were involved in this matter, but also the other troops stationed in Chang'an, and the Chang'an officials also took action. Tens of thousands of people searched overnight and found nothing.

It was not until dawn that Li Longji decided to withdraw his troops. Of course, Li Longji arranged the manpower to continue the search.

Chen Wanrong was very unwilling to accept it: "Is he a territorial escape? Underwater and on the ground, we combed it like a comb, but we couldn't find anyone. I really can't figure it out."

There are many masters of water play in the Longwu Army. They entered the moat and searched for the eight waters, but they found nothing. Needless to say, they could not find anyone on the land. Who would be willing to be able to find someone?

Li Longji was also unwilling to give up and thought for a while: "The cunning rabbit has three holes. If he dares to do this, he must be prepared. It doesn't matter if he can't find it for the time being. This time, the Crescent Sect suffered heavy losses. It is difficult to ascend to the sky if he wants to rebel. The most important point is that we have caught several important people. As long as they interrogate their hiding, they can uproot the Crescent Sect."

The people brought to Chen's mansion by the Crescent Moon Sect escaped him alone. As for the sect who fell down the city with him, his body had been found in the moat. This time, all the elites of the Crescent Moon Sect were lost and their vitality was severely damaged. It was impossible to rebel anymore. The safety matters were basically over, and only some aftermath matters were left.

A day ago, Li Longji was still worried about Annan, but he didn't expect that such a huge change would occur in just one day. Whose achievements? Chen Wanrong's achievements! If Chen Wanrong hadn't responded properly, the Crescent Sect would have succeeded and retreated safely, it would have been a different look.

Li Longji comforted Chen Wanrong: "It's already very good to have such a result. Even if the leader of the Xinyue Cultivation Sect escapes, he will not be able to stir up troubles with his own strength. If you destroy the Xinyue overnight, you should be happy with one amazing skill!"

Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "The prince has been too rewarded. It is not my ability to achieve such achievements, but the efforts of the brothers! If the brothers of the Longwu Army had not sacrificed their lives and fought bravely, how could this be done!"

It is a miracle that only dozens of Dragon Martial Army soldiers have suppressed dozens of times their enemies! Because they are Dragon Martial Army, an army that can create miracles!

"Brother Wang, how are the casualties of brothers?" Chen Wanrong has been busy with important matters, and he still has time to count the casualties of the Longwu Army.

Wang Shaohua said with a sad face: "Brother Chen, once the brothers die, they will all be deprived of the lottery, and one of them will be lost in the left eye. The rest are skin injuries, so Brother Chen doesn't have to worry about it."

The dead Longwu Army was the first to be killed when fighting against the Crescent Clan under the command of Wang Shaohua. At that time, the Longwu Army used its strengths and weaknesses to conduct infantry battles, and fought side by side with a group of escorts, without exerting its due power.

If Chen Wanrong hadn't reacted quickly enough and corrected this approach soon, the Dragon Martial Army would have killed all the Xinyue Sect in this way.

Later, under the command of Chen Wanrong, the Longwu Army jumped onto the war horse, set up a dignified formation, and charged. Its powerful combat power was exerted, completely suppressing the Crescent Sect. The blind Dragon Wu Army was very unlucky and injured the hidden weapon.

With armor to protect the vital points, even if a cold sword is slashed by cold swords, it cannot hurt the vital points. It basically does not threaten the Dragon Martial Army, and can only hurt the flesh.

"Where is the escort agency?" Chen Wanrong asked.

Wang Shaohua shook his head and replied: "I don't know very well. However, it should be much greater than the casualties of the brothers, and I guess several deaths will be killed."

The reason why the casualties of the corpses were greater than that of the Dragon Martial Army was that they were not as skilled in coordination as the Dragon Martial Army. More importantly, they did not have the excellent equipment as the Dragon Martial Army, especially the armor. They all fought in cloth clothes and thin shirts. If they hit it, they would cause solid damage, and they would not die or be seriously injured.

Li Longji ordered: "Chen Wanrong, go back first and arrange your family. Then, enter the palace immediately."

Chen Wanrong responded and returned to Chang'an under the escort of Geshuhan and his artillery. As soon as he entered the city gate, he realized that today's Chang'an was very different from the past. If it were in the past, there were crowds of people and traffic, and a prosperous scene. Today it was deserted and there was no pedestrian, only the army patrolling the streets.

The city's search has not yet ended, and the government ordered the people to stay at home in case of search. Chang'an would not be able to be deserted.

When I returned to the mansion, I saw Zheng Qing, Qing E, Sima Chengzhen, Shao Dagui and others, and there were many. Even Wu Daozi and Wang Han rushed over. During this period, Wu Daozi, with the help of Wang Han, had already found a suitable manor and moved there.

Chen Wanrong didn't have the heart to ask about how they came here.

Seeing Chen Wanrong come back, Zheng Qing was so happy that she came up. She threw herself into Chen Wanrong's arms and started crying. There were so many thrilling nights, and her endless thoughts were all in the crying.

Chen Wanrong patted her jade back lightly and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, it's okay! Don't cry, I still have some serious things to do!"

Zheng Qing really wanted to cry in Chen Wanrong's arms, but she was a reasonable person. She immediately stopped and nodded slightly, and stood aside with Qing'e.

Sima Chengzhen and the others came to meet each other. After a brief greeting, Chen Wanrong asked, "Tao Shao, how are you injured or killed?"

Shao Dagui gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Five brothers died! Three of them were seriously injured and probably disabled. The rest were slightly injured, which would not be inconvenient."

Their casualties were much greater than those of the Longwu Army. If Yang Sixu had not forced them to cooperate in training and learn the army's battle formation methods, the casualties would have been greater.

More importantly, Chen Wanrong saw the opportunity quickly, and the Longwu Army showed his power and asked them to retreat. If they were a little late, more casualties would be caused.

These studs are not related to their own relationships, but they are able to sacrifice their lives, which is admirable. Chen Wanrong's eyes turned red. Accompanied by Shao Dagui and Wu Tianxing, they inspected: "Dear studs: You have suffered all the hardships for me, Chen Wanrong. I am grateful. Thank you here!" He bowed deeply.

The stadiumers remained silent, and Chen Wanrong continued: "I will take care of the deceased stadiumers, their families! I will do my best to be injured. I, Chen Wanrong, will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life."

"General Chen is so serious!" Shao Dagui sighed: "We are so ashamed that we are not as good as the Longwu Army. If there were no Longwu Army, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

The Qiandi Mansion has turned into ashes, and there is no need for Shao Dagui and the others to stay and say goodbye to Chen Wanrong. The escorts do their best to avoid life and death. Their feelings are touching. Chen Wanrong must participate in the aftermath of the victims. However, Chen Wanrong has more important things to do at present, so he won’t say much and send them away.

"Now, we have no place to live, we can only go to our father-in-law to stay." Chen Wanrong made up his mind.

Wang Han and Wu Daozi opposed in unison: "Brother Chen, you are just seeing each other. Everyone goes to our place!"

The friendship between the two of them and Chen Wanrong was beyond words. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Wu, I appreciate your kindness. It would be better to go to my father-in-law's place."

It is no problem for those who are from Zheng Qing, Qing'e, Niu Shangxin and others to stay in Zheng's Mansion for a temporary stay, but Wu Daozi refused to let Sima Chengzhen go: "Master, no matter what, you have to enjoy the glory. Go to my place to stay for a few days."

It was hard to refuse the kindness, Sima Chengzhen agreed, and Wu Daozi was overjoyed.

Chen Wanrong led a group of people to Zheng Mansion. When he arrived at Zheng Mansion, Zheng Jianqiu and Zheng Zhou quickly came up with excitement. Zheng Zhou held Zheng Qing's hand and couldn't help sobbing: "Girl, are you okay?"

The mother's care is the most heartwarming. Zheng Qing nodded excitedly: "Mom, don't worry, my daughter is very good!"

Zheng Jianqiu looked at Chen Wanrong with a look of concern: "Son-in-law, where are you? Are you injured?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Father-in-law, please be relieved. It's just a little skin injury, it's not a problem. Father-in-law, the son-in-law has nowhere to go. I want to stay with you for a while, I wonder if I can?"

"What are you going to stay or not? This is your home!" Zheng Jianqiu was a little angry.

Niu Shangxin glanced at the Zheng Mansion and saw that Qiandi was not as generous as Qiandi. He thought they had too many people and might not be able to live there. He gave an idea: "Boss, it's not a big deal during this period, so why not let us servants go home and live there."

This idea is indeed good, Chen Wanrong immediately agreed: "Okay! Niu Shangxin, you can arrange this matter. After a while, if something happens, you will come back. Yue Yinzhao takes it!"

"Boss, what time is this? Why do you still mention Yueyin?" Niu Shangxin complained at one of the few.

Chen Wanrong had a kind intention, but he gave him a message and shook his head: "Father-in-law, there were many casualties and injuries in the Yanwei Escort Agency. I should have gone there myself. However, the prince asked me to enter the palace immediately and could not escape..."

Zheng Jianqiu waved his hand and interrupted Chen Wanrong and said, "Wanrong, you don't have to worry about this. Your mother-in-law, and my girl will go to Yanwei Escort Agency now."

That's what Chen Wanrong meant. Now he was unable to do anything, so he asked Zheng Jianqiu to help him go. Unexpectedly, he thought more thoughtfully. The couple and Zheng Qing were the best. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "I'm sorry, father-in-law."

"Okay, don't stand and talk. I've been in trouble all night and I'm exhausted. Come into the house for a while and have some food to eat." Zheng Zhou warmly greeted everyone into the house.

Everyone entered the room, and Chen Wanrong, Wang Shaohua and Long Wujun were disarmed. As soon as the armor was removed, Chen Wanrong loosened his body and sat on the chair, and a burst of fatigue came.

Geshuhan asked someone to treat the wounds of the Longwu Army. Zheng Qing also knew medical skills and came to treat Chen Wanrong and Wang Shaohua. When the work was over, Geshuhan asked Wu Shaoxing and others to choose Chen Wanrong long ago, and the unused guards stayed. He transferred the Longwu Army led by Wang Shaohua to let them recover.

After arranging these, Chen Wanrong took a break and recovered his spirits. Then he went to the palace. Surrounded by Wu Xingshang and his entourage, Chen Wanrong came to the Daming Palace.

"General Chen, please come in!" As soon as Gong Wei saw Chen Wanrong, he conveyed the will of Ruizong: "The emperor has an order, please ask General Chen to go to Luanxiang Pavilion."

With a response, Chen Wanrong rode his horse into the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he couldn't help but be shocked. He saw that all the officials were neatly arranged, and everyone was standing in front of Hanyuan Palace with a serious look on their faces. No one spoke. Although there were many people, they were silent.

If in the past, they would greet each other and ask for some things when they met and asked for some things, it would be rare to be as quiet as today. No wonder, the artillery general was attacked without saying that the Qiandi was attacked. This was never in the history of the Tang Dynasty. No one knew how much fire the Ruizong would make, so how dare he say it randomly.

Even Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong just nodded to Chen Wanrong, saying hello. Wu Jing was not bad, with a smile on his face, and said with a meaning: "Brother Wanrong, it's clear after the rain!"

Chen Wanrong really wanted to talk to Wu Jing, but now is not the time. He smiled and said, "There are still many things. Lord Wu, the emperor is waiting, he is rude."

"It's OK, it's OK!" Wu Jing smiled.

Chen Wanrong went straight to Luanxiang Pavilion. Duan Hui stood at the door. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here. Hurry, the emperor is waiting for you."

When Chen Wanrong opened the door, he saw Ruizong, Princess Taiping and Li Longji were both there. Princess Taiping and Li Longji looked calm and there was no sign of happiness or anger. However, Ruizong was happy. When he saw Chen Wanrong's face, he waved his hand with a smile: "Wanrong, come quickly."

"I burned your hidden residence, are you still happy?" Chen Wanrong saw Ruizong's joy and could not help but think about something he shouldn't have thought of. He stepped forward to greet him: "I have met the emperor."

Ruizong was in a good mood and waved his hand: "No, no!"

Chen Wanrong apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, so I will ask the emperor to punish you!"

Ruizong couldn't help but be stunned and asked strangely: "Wanrong, why are you guilty of making such a great contribution?"

"Your Majesty, I am really a crime to set fire to Qian Mansion!" Chen Wanrong reported truthfully. Although Qian Mansion was rewarded to Chen Wanrong, it still has a great relationship with Ruizong. Not to mention setting fire to burn it, even a fire is a crime.

Ruizong still smiled: "Wanrong, you have no choice but to do so. Although this crime is serious, I will not be so confused. Forget it. Wanrong, don't take it to heart. If the house is burned, you can build it again. If a person dies, he cannot be resurrected! It's worth it if you exchange a hidden residence for the demise of the Crescent Sect!"
