At 5:45 pm, Lin Chen, Li Xiu Ning, and Gou 'zi had already arrived at the designated location. Gou' zi ordered his men to get into formation and beat the drums and shout.
The massive drumming shook Youzhou City. Zhishi Sili had led the forty thousand Turkic soldiers to the camp, but because of the orders of the Jie Li Khagan, he did not dare to act rashly and could only passively defend.
In addition, An Lin and the Turkic army at the front gate had also heard the sound of drums, and Jie Li had ordered his men to gather to assist Zhishi Sili.
After two days of constant torment, the Turkic soldiers were exhausted and dispirited. They couldn't concentrate at all, let alone observe Youzhou City.
Taking advantage of this critical moment, Li Er, who had changed into casual clothes, arrived at the city wall under the escort of Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Xu Maogong, and a dozen elite soldiers.
Because he was secretly escaping, Li Er didn't dare to bring too many people with him. With these people escorting him, it was enough. If the Turks really discovered him and pursued him, it would be useless even if he brought all the soldiers in the city.
Of course, Li Er would not abandon the soldiers and civilians in the city. After he escaped out of Youzhou City, he would definitely gather an army to rescue Youzhou City.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and the others escorted Li Er to An Lin's city wall. Qin Qiong looked around to make sure that no one had discovered him before ordering the soldiers to set up a ladder.
It didn't take long before the scaling ladder was set up. As long as they got off the scaling ladder, they would be able to reach An Lin in a few hundred meters. Once they entered An Lin, they would be safe.
"Your Majesty, the ladder is ready. Please!”Qin Qiong cupped his fists and made way for Li Er to stand by the city wall.
Li Er came to the side of the city wall and looked down. Good heavens, it was dark and he couldn't see the ground at all. He immediately felt a little guilty.
Xu Maogong saw through Li Er's thoughts and hurriedly said,"Marshal Qin, send a few soldiers down to investigate the situation.”
"Advisor Jun is right." Qin Qiong waved his hand and called over a few soldiers. Still feeling uneasy, he said to Cheng Yaojin,""General Cheng, follow the soldiers down and scout the way for His Majesty.”
"Good!" Cheng Yaojin did not hesitate either. He held his Eight Trigrams Flower Axe in his left hand and the ladder in his right hand. He took the lead and went down, followed by a few soldiers.
It didn't take long for Cheng Yaojin to reach the ground. He looked around and saw that no one had discovered him, so he knocked on the ladder with the Eight Trigrams Flower Axe.
After hearing the voice, Qin Qiong cupped his fists and said,""Your Majesty, General Cheng has already reached the surface. He has not discovered any enemy movements.”
"Alright, alright." Li Er nodded repeatedly. He was very excited. He could finally escape from this cage.
With the help of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, Li Er climbed up the ladder and walked down bit by bit.
When Li Er was young, he was not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, let alone climbing the ladder. However, after sitting on the throne, his physique became weaker and weaker, and his courage became smaller and smaller.
Li Er had been down this ladder for ten minutes, but he still hadn't fallen.
Qin Qiong was worried about Li Er's safety, so she followed him down the ladder, right on Li Er's head.
Although these people moved slowly, they moved very quietly and were not discovered by the Turkic sentries. Of course, this was also because the sentries were too tired.
After all, they had not rested for two days and one night.
The Turkic sentries didn't discover it, but Lin Chen could see it clearly with his binoculars.
"He's about to escape. Tsk tsk, why didn't the Turkic dogs notice?”
"Sigh, I overestimated these Turkic dogs.”
"No, I can't let Li Er leave like this. If he leaves like this, I won't be able to carry out my big plan.”
Lin Chen pondered for a few seconds, then revealed a wicked smile." Big Horn, come here.”
"Fort Master, what are your orders?" The big-muzzled speaker came to Lin Chen's side and asked.
"Make some noise and remind the Turkic dogs that the Tang Emperor has escaped from An Lin!”Lin Chen smiled evilly.
"Ah?" The big-muzzled speaker was shocked." Fort Master, aren't we here to save people? You're trying to harm people!"
"Cut the crap. If I tell you to shout, then shout!”Lin Chen rolled his eyes at the big-muzzled man.
"Alright! If you want me to shout, I'll shout. Anyway, if anything happens, you'll block it.”The big-muzzled speaker laughed.
"You bastard, I've been treating you well, and you're pushing me out just like that!”Lin Chen raised his leg and kicked the megaphone." Hurry up and shout!”
"Yes, sir!"
The big-muzzled speaker responded and came to the cliff. He took a deep breath, put his hands to his mouth, and roared with lightning.
" The Emperor of the Great Tang has escaped from An Lin's place! Hurry up and give chase!”
"Capturing the Emperor of the Great Tang will be heavily rewarded! I'll reward you with a thousand gold and give you the title of Great General!"
"Hurry up and catch him!"
The shout from the megaphone shook the entire Turkic army in Qianmen and An Lin. Jie Li also heard this and immediately panicked." What? The Emperor of the Great Tang has escaped?”
"Chase after him! The entire army set off! Don't let the Emperor of the Great Tang go!”
"Yes, sir!"
The order was quickly relayed to An Lin's garrison, and upon hearing that the Tang Emperor had escaped, An Lin immediately led his army in pursuit.
For a moment, the Turkic army surged into An Lin like a tidal wave.
At this moment, Li Er was still on the ladder, a meter or two from the ground. When he heard the Turkic army charge over, his legs went weak and he fell down.
Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was quick and caught Li Er.
"What…what's going on?" Li Er shouted in panic.
"Your Majesty, we've been discovered. Let's go!”Cheng Yaojin picked Li Er up on his back and ran toward An Lin's east side.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Xu Maogong, and the others also came down and ran forward with Li Er.
"How could we be discovered?!" Li Er said in a panic as he ran. Who leaked the news!"
"I don't know. This subject heard someone shout just now. It should be a Turkic sentry. Don't worry, Your Majesty. This subject swears to protect Your Majesty's safety!”Cheng Yaojin answered as he ran.
"No, it's not a Turkic sentry. Your Majesty, from this subordinate's accent, it seems to be someone from the Great Tang!”A soldier replied.
"What is it? The people of the Great Tang actually harmed me, damn it, let me find out, I will definitely tear him into pieces!”Li Er raged.
At this moment, Xu Maogong and Qin Qiong caught up.
"Your Majesty, let's think of a way to escape first. The Turkic army is already catching up!" Xu Maogong anxiously said.”
"What?!" Li Eryi was shocked. He turned around and was instantly scared out of his wits.
Behind him, the lights were bright, and the warhorses neighed. Countless enemy troops were chasing after him crazily.
Fortunately, they were in the forest and the warhorses could not run fast. Otherwise, they would have caught up by now.
"Minister Cheng, run!" Li Er shouted in panic.
" Your Majesty, I've already done my best..." Cheng Yaojin panted heavily.
"It's over, my life is over!" Li Er wailed as he watched the Turkic pursuers approach.
"Your Majesty, the brocade pouch!" Xu Maogong suddenly thought of Lin Chen's brocade bag.
"Your Majesty, quickly open the brocade bag. It's a critical moment now!”
"Yes, yes, the brocade bag!" Li Er hurriedly took out the brocade bag from his pocket and quickly opened it.
When he saw the information on the brocade pouch, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
The words on the brocade bag were: " Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking the risk to lure the pursuers. The great matter has been accomplished. Please take care, Your Majesty."”
"There's no other way now. Your Majesty, hurry up and run. The reinforcements are just ahead!”
"Bastard, don't let zhen know who you are, or zhen will kill you!”
