Yue Fei stood there stunned, his eyes gradually blurring with tears.
After a long while, he grabbed Fang Er and asked excitedly, "Are you serious, Zhuang Shi Fang?"
While the two were speaking, Mo Qixie was grimacing in pain beside them, and Xue Rengui slapped him across the face.
"Be quiet!"
After scolding, he looked at Yue Fei and said,
"Marshal Yue, although I don't know why my lord values you so highly, you can rest assured. My lord has never spoken a false word."
Yue Fei's loyalty was everything, ingrained in his bones.
With Fang Er's words, he had no reason to stay any longer, so he cupped his hands and said,
"Yue thanks Zhuang Shi Fang!"
"It's just that my son Yue Yun and brother Zhang Xian are also imprisoned here, can you help them out too?"
Before Fang Er could even speak, Mo Qixie quickly said, "I know where they are locked up!"
After speaking, he was about to lead them to find Yue Yun and the two.
As the four of them walked out of the prison, Fang Er suddenly saw blood-red writing behind the wooden door of the cell.
The prison was very dark, so he took out his phone to illuminate it and look closely.
"My anger rises to the heavens, at the parapet I stand, the rain falling in despair."
"Lifting my eyes, I gaze at the sky and let out a long roar, my heart filled with heroic passion."
"Thirty years of fame are but dust and soil, eight thousand li of roads traversed under moon and cloud."
"Do not wait idly for your youthful head to whiten, only to lament in vain."
"The shame of Jingkang, not yet avenged;"
"The hatred of loyal subjects, when will it be extinguished!"
"Command the chariots to trample down Helan Mountain's pass."
"With ambition, I feast on the flesh of barbarians, and with laughter, I drink the blood of the Xiongnu."
"When I return to reclaim the old mountains and rivers, I shall pay homage to the heavens."
This was precisely Yue Fei's poem "Man Jiang Hong" written in prison!
His eyes were filled with sorrow and unwillingness, each word written in blood.
The spirited calligraphy, which should have stirred the heart, now felt like a sharp blade piercing Fang Er's heart, causing unspeakable pain!
Fang Er gritted his teeth, staring at Mo Qixie, with only one impulsive thought in his mind: to kill this fellow right here. But that would be too easy for him.
"Rengui, take this door panel off and carry it!"
"Yes, Gongye!"
Xue Rengui was initially confused, but after seeing the words on the door panel, his confusion vanished instantly.
What kind of person could write such verses in prison?
Without another word, he removed the door panel, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and followed Fang Er.
When they found Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, their condition was even worse than Yue Fei's.
There was almost no uninjured spot on their bodies; they were all beaten until their skin and flesh were torn apart. Their prison clothes had completely turned a dark red!
That was the color of dried blood!
"Father!"
"Marshal!"
Seeing Yue Fei's figure appear before them, the two let out weak sounds of surprise.
Then, looking at Mo Qixie, whose hands were bound, their eyes instantly burst with killing intent. They struggled to climb up from the hay, using all their strength to charge at him.
"Stop!"
Yue Fei shouted urgently upon seeing this.
"We'll discuss this later, first, let's go to face the emperor with this Zhuang Shi Fang!"
Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were a little incredulous. They had thought that the ones rescuing them were people from the Zhongyi Society, but they never expected to go to the palace to see the emperor.
Does this mean that the grievances they suffered have a chance to be cleared?
"Let's go, it's too chaotic here, let's get out first."
Fang Er glanced at Yue Yun. The wounds on his back were already emitting a foul odor, a clear sign of festering.
As the four left the prison, the outside was indeed surrounded by countless imperial guards, just as Yue Fei had predicted.
Wang Xuance sat in the driver's cabin of the Caterpillar. Seeing them emerge, he took out an AK and began shooting at the imperial guards.
These imperial guards had no way to deal with the truck. If they got close, they would be shot.
But long-range attacks were useless. Designed for the mine, the Caterpillar's tires and glass were all explosion-proof materials, so no matter how many arrows they fired, they couldn't damage it.
The imperial guards heard the gunshots and quickly retreated dozens of steps. They had just witnessed the power of this machine.
Someone didn't believe it, but the result was a bloody hole in his leg, and he was carried away.
They watched Yue Fei emerge, along with the bound Mo Qixie, and instinctively wanted to rush forward.
But in just a moment, everyone had gotten into the driver's cabin.
Yue Fei stared blankly at everything in the cabin and asked Fang Er with confusion, "Zhuang Shi Fang, what is this thing?"
Fang Er just smiled and shook his head, not answering his question. Then, he patted Wang Xuance on the shoulder twice.
"To the imperial palace!"
"Yes, Gongye!"
The behemoth immediately began to roar, spewing large amounts of black smoke as it slowly reversed.
The truck moved slowly, which Wang Xuance did intentionally, to give the imperial guards time to react.
With a thud, the truck once again widened the archway of the Dali Temple and backed out onto the street.
Such a massive object, coupled with the commotion in Dali Temple, had attracted countless curious onlookers to gather outside.
Seeing this monster-like thing emerge from inside, they quickly moved aside, afraid of being caught and swallowed by it.
The Caterpillar roared all the way to the imperial palace gates. The guards at the gate tried to stop it, but they were forced back by the oppressive aura of the behemoth.
"What is that thing!"
On the city wall, Han Shizhong asked Liang Hongyu in shock.
The helicopter was brought by his wife, so she should know about this thing, right?
But Liang Hongyu was also bewildered; she had never seen this thing before.
Thinking of Fang Er leaving earlier to rescue Yue Fei, she guessed, "It must be Duke Anguo who has returned. Only he could create such a thing."
Speaking of which, she suddenly looked at Han Shizhong with great joy.
"Husband, it must be Pengju who has been rescued!"
"Quick, come down with me, I haven't seen Pengju for a long time, I wonder what he looks like now!"
Han Shizhong was overjoyed. He and his wife had been on the city wall for so long, and Liang Hongyu had told him many things.
Although he found it hard to believe, the facts were laid out before him. Someone had secretly reported the scene of Taizong and Shenzong beating Zhao Gou, so he couldn't help but believe it.
"Let's go down and welcome our sworn brother Yue!"
However, before they could even reach the stairs, they heard a loud bang, and then the city wall beneath their feet began to shake violently.
The Caterpillar did not stop. The height of the archway was not enough to pass through.
Fang Er directly told Wang Xuance to go around the thickest part of the palace gate and crash through from the side.
With a powerful force of 3400 horsepower and 13635 Newton-meters of torque, the palace wall was a joke before it.
Liang Hongyu stopped, and looked at her husband with a smile.
"My husband, please forgive me, I forgot Duke Anguo's style!"
