On the way to the Governor's Mansion, Huang Duwei took a group of soldiers to the Governor's Mansion and happened to meet the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion in Huangzhou.

When Cheng Chumo saw that the person in the lead was the guy who had almost been split into two sections by him.

At that moment, he also rushed towards Huang Duwei with his weapons.

How dare Wei Huang fight Cheng Chumo?

Immediately turned my horse's head and ran backwards.

Cheng Chumo wanted to chase him, but was blocked by a group of soldiers from Zhechong Mansion in Qizhou.

But in an instant, the two conveniences were fighting together.

Li Ruoshuang also brought the eight great vajras from Zhechong Prefecture, Taizhou.

But she went to find Zhao Chen herself.

The Eight Great King Kongs are worthy of being the powerful combat power of Zhechong Prefecture, Taizhou. When the eight people are together, the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture in Qizhou dare not approach them at all.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the emperor and Li Ke ran over from the direction of the Governor's Office.

Cheng Chumo was chasing Huang Duwei. When he saw the people from the Northern Imperial Army, he knew in his heart that the emperor had escaped after mingling among them.

Then he shouted: "The enemy is strong, we will retreat temporarily."

Cheng Chumo's words also made Huang Duwei stunned for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he saw a large number of soldiers from the Zhechong Prefecture in Huangzhou hurriedly fleeing towards the southern city gate.

"Chasing." Huang Duwei would not miss such an opportunity.

Immediately ordered the army to pursue it.

...

Amid the incomparable worries of the people of Qi County, the sky gradually became white.

The people began to take to the streets, and everyone looked in the direction of the Governor's Office.

After burning all night, the fire in the Governor's Office still did not go out.

When the people came over, they saw many people holding buckets to put out the fire.

No body left on the street was seen at this moment.

Nothing was discovered except for the raging fire and the burned house of the Governor's Mansion.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why did it suddenly catch such a big fire in the middle of the night?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor lives in this Governor's Mansion, such a big fire..."

"No, His Majesty the Emperor must be fine."

"With such a big fire, will Governor Ma still send someone to save His Majesty?"

"That's right, if something happens to you here, then all of us will have to..."

"Governor Ma is here."

While the people were talking, they saw Ma Zhiyuan running towards this side in a hurry.

"His Majesty!"

Before Ma Zhiyuan arrived, his voice was already choked.

Under everyone's surprise eyes, Ma Zhiyuan knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death. I just left the city yesterday and never thought that such a disaster would happen."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death." Ma Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and kept wailing at the Governor's Mansion.

My forehead hit the ground one after another, and it broke the skin in a few strokes.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I will go down to accompany you now." Ma Zhiyuan was still not satisfied after kowtowing.

He got up and ran towards the Governor's Office, but was stopped by officials from Qi County.

"Governor, no one thinks about something wrong with Your Majesty, but this is not your responsibility."

"Who would have thought that such a fire suddenly appeared?"

"If you are guilty, all of us in Qi County will be guilty." Qi County officials held Ma Zhiyuan tightly and persuaded desperately.

The people present were stunned.

They heard from Ma Zhiyuan that the emperor was actually burned to death in the Governor's Mansion.

"Mr. Governor, two corpses were found in the ruins of the East Courtyard. Judging from the appearance, they seemed to be His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the King of Shu."

"They..." Someone rushed out of the Governor's Office and shouted to Ma Zhiyuan.

"Don't stop me, I'll carry Your Majesty out myself." Ma Zhiyuan burst into tears and shook off the Qi County officials' hand.

"Hey, Governor!"

"It's too dangerous inside!" Qi County officials shouted anxiously.

Ma Zhiyuan had already rushed into the fire.

The officials in Qi County had no choice but to follow and rush into the fire.

"Oh, I didn't expect Governor Ma was so loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Yes, who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would die in a fire?"

The people were talking, and sighing in their hearts.

...

Ma Zhiyuan rushed into the governor's office.

Most of the fire has been put out, and two charred bodies are placed on the ruins.

At this moment, Ma Zhiyuan's face did not have the sadness he had just now.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, a smile appeared on Ma Zhiyuan's face.

"I'm sure these two people are the emperor and the king of Shu?" Ma Zhiyuan asked with the soldiers beside him.

"Sir, look." The soldier pointed to his clothes on the side of the corpse.

"The clothes have not been completely burned by the fire. The materials in the clothes are the best tribute."

"And this is an undershirt. There is a wound on the neck of a person next to him. According to the shape of the wound, he left it himself."

"This person's figure is exactly the same as Li Ke, and he must be Li Ke without a doubt."

"I think the emperor saw that the fire was too big and there were our dead soldiers outside. He knew that there was no hope of escaping and did not want to be burned to death by the fire, so he chose to hang himself."

"When Li Ke saw that the emperor committed suicide, he could not survive alone, so he chose to commit suicide." The soldier and Ma Zhiyuan said.

Ma Zhiyuan frowned.

Although that's the case, even if there were two burnt corpses, they could not do anything to be sure that these two were the Emperor and Li Ke.

"By the way, the soldiers of the Northern Imperial Army rushed out, they were very panicked."

"If you shout out that the emperor is dead, they have to escape quickly." The soldier added.

When Ma Zhiyuan's hanging heart heard this, he relaxed slightly.

The Northern Imperial Army is the emperor's escort. If nothing happened to the emperor and they dare to shout such a thing, would it be that they would be desperate?

Of course, the words of the Northern Imperial Army were not ruled out, and the emperor asked them to do so.

But now Ma Zhiyuan can no longer care about those things.

If the emperor was not dead, Ma Zhiyuan would definitely die without a burial place.

The most important thing at the moment is to inform Chang'an of the death of the emperor.

In this way, maybe they still have a glimmer of hope.

"Where is the Chief Secretary of Lu?" Ma Zhiyuan asked the soldiers.

The soldier shook his head: "Chief Lu saw Zhao Chen yesterday and took his people to chase him out, otherwise the soldiers of the Northern Imperial Army would not have escaped."

"It's this bastard again!" Ma Zhiyuan suddenly cursed.

The soldiers didn't know whether Ma Zhiyuan was scolding Zhao Chen or Lu Yifa.

"Tie the body to my back." Ma Zhiyuan said to the soldiers beside him.

Ma Zhiyuan had to pretend to be extremely loyal.

The best way is to go out with the emperor's body on his back.

Let the people outside believe in themselves.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then saw the Qi County officials on the side nodding to him.

Then the burned emperor's body was tied to Ma Zhiyuan's back.

Officials in Qi County also carried the body of "Li Ke" on their backs.

Ma Zhiyuan tore up his clothes and then applied the ashes to his face.

This made Ma Zhiyuan look dirty.

"Your Majesty, I will die, I will take you out of here." Ma Zhiyuan suddenly wailed.

Tears flowed out of the eyes again.

The Qi County officials could not do as calm as Ma Zhiyuan, and pinched his thighs hard.
