In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

A loud bang was heard, and dust and sand rose everywhere.

The wall finally collapsed, leaving a large hole.

With both ends blocked, this hole can be considered a lifeline.

"Retreat quickly!" Li Yuanchang scrambled to his feet.

Upon receiving the order, Guo Chao and the others took a step back and jumped through the hole in the wall.

"Chase!!"

A large number of Lu clan members pursued them, and Li Yuanchang grabbed a handful of soil and scattered it like a fairy scattering flowers.

"what!"

The first group of people who chased after them covered their eyes and screamed in agony.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Yuanchang led six guards and ran as fast as he could, passing through houses and scaling walls.

Although they had gained some distance, Lu Congjun and his large retinue continued their pursuit.

"Over here!"

"quick!"

"Have Sixth Uncle's men go ahead and block them!"

"We absolutely cannot let them get away today!"

"quick!"

"yes!!"

From above, the vast Lu Family Stone Manor was in complete chaos, with all the men in the manor joining the pursuit and blockade.

Wave after wave of people intercepted them, like giant hands reaching out to grab Li Yuanchang and his group of seven.

Moreover, the distance between them was getting closer and closer. Li Yuanchang overturned everything he could and used everything he could, but he still couldn't shake off his opponent.

They finally managed to break through to a field, but hundreds of their retainers were already waiting there.

A frontal breakout would undoubtedly be suicide.

Li Yuanchang was forced to lead his men back to the residential area.

The village was neither too big nor too small, with a large number of residential houses, which gave Li Yuanchang the opportunity to buy time.

"It's up there!"

"quick!"

boom! !

Li Yuanchang kicked one person, sending him flying and tumbling down, knocking over more than a dozen others.

Then, pulling his injured subordinate along, he leaped with all his might from one house to the flowerbed of another.

bang bang bang...

"Walk!"

As soon as Li Yuanchang stood up, he noticed a twelve or thirteen-year-old child staring blankly at him in the yard, his eyes filled with fear.

The sounds of battle shouts grew louder and louder as they drew closer.

"Quick, hide!" Li Yuanchang, worried about being accidentally injured, tried to push them away.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly harmless child pulled out a dagger and stabbed Li Yuanchang in the chest.

A sneak attack—no one expected a child to do such a thing.

Li Yuanchang's hair stood on end, and he dodged almost reflexively, avoiding the fatal area, but his wrist was cut by the blade.

puff……

"You bastard!" Guo Chao roared, kicking the child, who flew more than ten meters away.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" The crowd gathered around.

Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, and he gripped his wrist tightly, where blood was seeping out: "It's nothing, it's not deep, let's go!"

"yes!"

The seven broke through in another direction.

But this time, they were not so lucky. More and more people came, causing their area of ​​operation to shrink. Before they could break through, dozens of people attacked from the back door.

Li Yuanchang could only lead his team to retreat.

But the front gate was also blasted open, and Lu Congjun led a large number of his troops to attack, surrounding them from all sides. He was furious and violent, completely bloodthirsty, and no longer knew what the law was!

"Run? Keep running!"

"Let's see where you run now!" Lu Congjun shouted.

Caught between two enemies, Li Yuanchang had no way out but to stick to the wall to reduce the number of enemies he could attack from one direction.

"Lu Congjun, do you think you can get away with killing me?"

"At that time, the entire Lu Family Stone Village will be leveled!"

Lu Congjun gripped the knife, his eyes bloodshot.

He gritted his teeth and said, "All I know is that if we let you escape, we're finished, but if you die here, there's still a chance to turn things around!"

"Attack them all! Chop them to death!"

He gave the order in a frenzy, having already given up all hope; he knew he was doomed.

Li Yuanchang originally wanted to stall for time, but the other party didn't give him that time, which was completely different from the script where the villain dies from talking too much.

"Kill them!"

A large number of retainers arrived.

Li Yuanchang had no way out; running away would be futile. His eyes hardened: "Damn it, kill him first! Capture the leader, capture the thief!"

Having said that, he charged forward, dragging his sword.

By the time Guo Chao and the others realized what was happening, Li Yuanchang had already broken in. It was too late to stop him, so they could only charge back together.

boom! !

The knives collided, sparks flying.

puff!

Li Yuanchang swiftly slashed a man's throat with his knife, blood gushing out like a tap, followed by a flying knee strike.

Boom!

The man collapsed to the ground and went into shock on the spot.

When the Lu clan attacked, Guo Chao and his men also charged in, their fierce military fighting style like wolves among sheep.

Puff puff……

Blood splattered one after another.

"Ah!" Heartbreaking screams echoed through the courtyard as Lu's retainers fell one after another.

At this moment, Li Yuanchang transformed into a god of death, unleashing powerful combat strength in the face of adversity, slaying seven people in succession, his hair covered in blood.

He's no mere pretty face; he possesses both fighting knowledge and the willpower to wield Li Yuanchang's body.

Although Li Yuanchang in history was arrogant, dissolute, and stingy, he was skilled in riding and archery!

Translated, it means they can fight.

In addition, Guo Chao and his men were originally from the military. Instead of breaking through the encirclement, they launched a counterattack to capture the king, and the enemy was routed, with corpses strewn all over the field.

Lu Congjun was forced outside the house, shouting, "Attack! Attack him!"

"What are you all standing there for? Attack!"

"Whoever kills him, I'll reward them with a hundred strings of cash and promote them to commander!"

Before these people could rush forward, with a loud bang, more than a dozen people were knocked over.

Li Yuanchang had already led his men out, covered in blood, like knights emerging from hell.

"You bastard!"

"Let's see who kills whom today!" he roared, launching another counterattack.

"Stop him!!" Lu Congjun roared, disregarding everything. He had long been frightened by the fierce fighting style of Li Yuanchang and others and dared not charge, instead ordering his men to charge instead.

boom!

It was another close-quarters combat, and the moment the longsword cleaved through flesh and blood was extremely bloody.

The fierce battle raged on, and at the same time...

As darkness gradually fell, the setting sun sank completely behind the western mountains, and boundless darkness swallowed the towering peaks.

Rumble!

The sound of horses' hooves, like an earthquake, suddenly resounded in the mountains outside the Lu family's stone village, and torches ignited the silent hillside.

The guards of the inner palace rushed towards Shizhuang like a mudslide.

As they drew ever closer, the chaotic Shizhuang watchtower failed to capture the scene until the hundred riders crashed through the railings, the thick wooden beams breaking into dust with a deafening roar.

At the Lu family's stone manor, everyone trembled: "Who is it?"

"The government troops are here! It's the government troops!" someone shouted in horror from a high place.

Rumble...

"The Liangzhou Han Prince's Mansion is handling a case. Get down at once!"

"Those who wield weapons shall be killed without mercy!"

"Where is the King of Han?!"

The roars that rose and fell, accompanied by the thunder of horses' hooves, were like the wrath of heaven descending, enveloping the entire Luzhuang!

This was a complete rout. These were the royal guards, brought from Chang'an, armed and armored, originally belonging to the imperial court.

Even though there are only a hundred people, they are the best-equipped group in the entire Liangzhou, enough to sweep away any three thousand tribes in the countryside!

This is absolutely no joke. In the era of cold weapons, having armor and not having armor were two completely different things.

They charged straight into the heart of the village from the entrance, like a long spear, advancing unimpeded.

Those who heard the sound were terrified and immediately surrendered.
