I saw Xu Ning galloping on the horse and shouting to Gao Qiu at the same time: "Taiwei, something is wrong! The golden soldiers are here!"

Chapter 891 Master Li regains his freedom

The gold soldier is here!

Xu Ning's voice frightened Taiwei Gao Qiu and almost fell from the boat into the Bian River.

"Escort! Escort!"

Gao Qiu hurriedly commanded the imperial guards to meet the enemy, and rushed to the ship of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji recklessly.

At this time, Tong Guan woke up from his dream and was mobilizing his own army to win the victory, and he also heard Xu Ning's warning.

Tong Guan couldn't believe that the Jin army came so fast, and hurriedly brought his confidant general Yang Keshi to wait and see.

In Tong Guan's view, although the Jin army crossed the Yellow River on the third day of the first lunar month, they should have surrounded Bianliang City in Tokyo at this time, and shouldn't have caught up with him so quickly!

Unless there are spies of Jin Jun in Bianliang City in Tokyo, and Jin Jun knows the whereabouts of the Supreme Emperor, Jin Jun will directly cross Bianliang City in Tokyo to pursue.

Tong Guan came to the front of the army on horseback, and when he took a closer look, he was scared out of his wits.

Under the hazy moonlight, a cavalry with torches dispersed the imperial guards led by Gao Qiu, and was heading towards Bianhe.The costumes of those cavalry are the Jurchens that both Tong Guan and Yang Keshi are familiar with!

"No, it's really a Jurchen! Yang Keshi, you can't stay here for long, and you and I will take the Supreme Emperor and ride to Yingtian Mansion!"

Seeing clearly that the attacking army was the Jin army, Tong Guan also lost the courage to resist, and hurriedly led Yang Keshi and his own Shengjie army towards the imperial ship of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji.

Tong Guan knew in his heart that the Jin soldiers were fast cavalry, and it was too slow to escape by boat, so they would definitely be overtaken on the Bian River.At this time, if he wanted to escape from birth, he had to let the Supreme Emperor abandon the ship and ride a horse, and fled to Yingtianfu in Nanjing in the southeast.Now the only way to survive is to escape into the strong city of Yingtian Mansion.

At this time, upon hearing that the Jin army was attacking, the entire fleet was in chaos.

The Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji was woken up, but saw that the servants and maids around him ignored him and ran away for their lives.

I saw Taiwei Gao Qiu rushing onto the boat with a few imperial guards, setting up Taishanghuang Zhao Ji and running down the boat.

"Gao Aiqing, why are you so panicked?"

Zhao Ji was not fully awake yet, so he asked in a daze.

"The emperor, the golden soldiers are here! Follow the ministers and stay away from this place!"

Gao Qiu said anxiously to Zhao Ji.

When Zhao Ji heard that it was Jin Bing who had killed him, he was so frightened that he had a stroke and passed out.He shivered and shouted: "Guards, all the gentlemen, come and escort!"

"Don't be afraid, my lord, my humble minister is here!"

Tong Guan led Yang Keshi and hundreds of victorious Jiejun to rush to disperse the panicked crowd, and arrived in front of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and the Taiwei Gao Qiu.

"Yang Keshi, quickly protect the Holy Majesty from danger!"

With Tong Guan's order, Yang Keshi and several soldiers of the Shengjie Army rudely snatched the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji from Gao Qi's men, and helped him onto a war horse.

Although Zhao Ji also loves playing polo and can ride horses, Tong Guan and Yang Keshi arranged for a general with excellent riding skills to ride with Zhao Ji to ensure that he would not fall off the horse and be injured.

Seeing the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji sitting on the horseback, Tong Guan, Yang Keshi and others hurriedly surrounded him and fled.

The soldiers beside Gao Qiu could only watch helplessly as Tong Guan took the Supreme Emperor away from him.Unexpectedly, that guy Tong Guan would compete with the old man for favor in this situation!

The helpless Gao Qiu gritted his teeth with hatred, so he had to summon the imperial guards to rescue the Empress Dowager, the prince Zhao Kai and other nobles.

This time the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji fled to the south, Tong Guan escorted [-] victorious Jiejun troops, and Gao Lian also brought [-] imperial guards to accompany him.

However, the Song Army had long been terrified of the Jin Army. After hearing that the Jin Army was attacking, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu lost their fighting spirit and did not dare to lead the troops to fight the Jin Army. They each protected the nobles in the palace and fled for their lives.

Tong Guan escorted the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji to Nanjing Yingtian Mansion with thousands of victorious troops.There, Cheng Wanli, Tong Guan's confidant student, served as the left-behind in Nanjing, which can be regarded as Tong Guan's sphere of influence.

Gao Qiu also led more than 2000 imperial guards to find Empress Zheng and Concubine Wei, and protected them from fleeing south to Chenzhou.

The guards of Chenzhou, Yingzhou, and Caizhou were none other than "Double Whip" Hu Yanzhuo and others. Gao Qiu had few soldiers, so he decided to make peace with these generals of his own faction, and then wait and see the situation in the world.

The rest of the generals in the army also protected their concubines and princes to escape, and the [-] troops scattered like birds and beasts.

"Golden Gunner" Xu Ning also boarded the ship with more than a hundred men, and rescued Li Mingfei Li Shishi and prince Zhao Hang.

It's a pity that Xu Ning ran into Jin Jun's team in a panic.

Xu Ning fights the opposing general of the Jin army for several rounds, but loses and leaves, leaving behind Li Shishi, Zhao Hang's mother and son, and Li Shishi's close maid Yue'er.

After Xu Ning was defeated and fled, his soldiers also fled invincibly. Li Shishi and Zhao Hang were surrounded by a group of Jurchens.However, Li Shishi comforted Zhao Hang softly, showing no fear of the vicious golden soldiers around him.

Suddenly, Jin Jun's team separated to both sides, and a carriage drove up to Li Shishi.Someone in the carriage lifted the curtain and said to Li Shishi: "My lady, get in the carriage quickly, don't freeze yourself to death!"

Li Shishi smiled sweetly, and got into the carriage with his son Zhao Hang.The court lady Yue'er was also taken to a carriage behind.

After Li Shishi and others got into the carriage, the cavalry of the Golden Army chased after it for a while, then took all the belongings on the imperial boat fleet and headed north.

In the warm carriage, Li Shishi stared at the man opposite with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said excitedly: "Officer, you really did it! I knew you would succeed!"

"My lady, I, Ximen Qing, will do what I say, and I will let you regain your freedom even if the sky falls!"

Ximen Qing looked at Mrs. Li's mother and son with a smile.

"Mother, who is he?"

Zhao Hang asked curiously when he saw that his mother's face was radiant after meeting the handsome man sitting opposite, and she became more beautiful and gentle than usual.

"Hang'er, do you remember the secret my mother told you a few days ago? Your real dad will come to pick you up. He is your real father! Hang'er, call daddy!"

Li Shishi dotingly pushed Zhao Hang forward.

"Daddy?"

When Zhao Hang saw Ximen Qing for the first time, he couldn't get used to it for a while, so he hesitated and called out.

This Zhao Hang was eight or nine years old, and was conceived by the essence and blood of Ximen Qing and Li Shishi.After all, he was Ximen Qing's eldest son.

Ximen Qing looked at Zhao Hang with pity and love, and pulled out a candied haws from behind like a magic trick, and handed it to Zhao Hang.

Zhao Hang licked a mouthful of the candied haws, smiled brightly, and called out "Dad" crisply.

This brat's cleverness has the demeanor of my Ximen Qing!

Ximen Qing picked up Zhao Hang and let him sit on his lap.

Chapter 892 Mrs. Li Shishi, Mrs. Yazhai

The one Ximen Qing brought to attack the Taishang Emperor Zhao Ji's fleet was certainly not the real Jin army.At this time, Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army had not yet crossed the river and was still in Huazhou.
