Hidden on his chest was a thick stack of silver bills, which were the silver he had earned from releasing prisoners of war some time ago, plus the loose change he had saved over the years, totaling more than two thousand three hundred taels.

Since he was escaping, he certainly couldn't take with him the cash and gold bars that his predecessor had embezzled. These personal belongings were his entire fortune and would be his biggest asset for escaping!
Feeling the thickness of the banknotes, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved. Just as he was about to tell Ye Tie to run away, he suddenly heard Chen Yannian's voice from outside the tent.

"Commander, Master Cai Pengbo has arrived outside the town and is asking us to open the city gates... I wonder what your decision is?"

As soon as Chen Yannian finished speaking, Wang Xian's impatient voice was heard again from outside.

"Sir, are you awake? What should we do now? You are the commander, you need to give me some definite information..."

Seeing Chen Yannian and Wang Xian coming, Ye Mingsheng and Ye Tie looked at each other in the tent. Ye Mingsheng shook his head helplessly, knowing that these two people were coming. Even if he wanted to run away, he probably couldn't!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice from inside the tent: "Got it, wait for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng took out the silver note that he had kept close to his body from his arms and handed it to Ye Tie.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Looking at the thousands of taels of silver notes, Ye Tie was suddenly a little frightened and whispered:
Putting the banknotes into Ye Tie's hand, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice: "Their target is me, not you. Take these banknotes. If I, Ye, am not destined to die this time, then everything will be fine!
"If I fail, you will take Ye Dong and the others to take these banknotes back to the Ye family and honor my mother. Please!"

“Young Master…” Hearing the entrustment of “his own young master”, Ye Tie, this tough guy, couldn’t help but become excited.

Without waiting for Ye Tie to say anything, Ye Mingsheng put on a long robe, straddled his sword, and walked out of the tent. He glanced at Chen Yannian and Wang Xian who were waiting outside the tent, and nodded slightly with a normal expression.
He walked towards the city gate of Luwang Town, while Chen Yannian and Wang Xian followed Ye Mingsheng silently.

The cold wind blew on Ye Mingsheng's face in the middle of the night, blowing away the remaining sleepiness in his mind and making Ye Mingsheng's head clearer.

If he dies here this time, then everything will be over. The only thing he can hope for is that the money can help the original owner's family live a better life, so that he will not let the original owner down for his body!
Luwang Town was not big. Ye Mingsheng had not walked for long when the low city wall of Luwang Town appeared in his sight. He could also hear the faint sounds of the Zhou imperial guards outside, making unbearable shouts...
According to the laws of the palace, as a small town with only a few thousand permanent residents, Luwang Town was not qualified to build city walls.

However, because the town is located at the foot of Huishan Mountain, there is a serious bandit problem. Bandits and robbers often come down the mountain to plunder. So in order to protect their own lives and property, the residents of Luwang Town spontaneously raised funds and built a circle of city walls around the town.

In fact, the city wall of Luwang Town is not so much a city wall as it is a building made up of earth walls, stone walls, and wooden walls. The highest point of the city wall is less than ten feet, and the average height is only about two meters. It can only resist some bandits with poor equipment and poor training and command. It can't stop the attack of Cui Pengbo's cavalry outside.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but show a hint of doubt in his eyes...

With doubts in his heart, Ye Mingsheng stepped onto the city wall and looked outside. He could clearly see that not far outside the city wall, hundreds of cavalrymen holding torches were standing ready for battle, and in front of the enemy's formation, several figures on horseback were constantly spitting out obscenities.

"You bunch of bastards, why don't you open the door? I'm about to freeze into a popsicle outside!" "If you don't open the door, I'm going to break in, pull you out of your beds, and kick your ass!"

"Damn it! We are here to rescue you under the orders of the commander-in-chief, but you locked us out! Open the door quickly!"

···········
···········
"Sir, they claim to be subordinates of Commander Cai, and they want us to open the city gate and let them in!" Lin Huaiwu, who was guarding the top of the city, saw Ye Mingsheng coming and hurriedly saluted:
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng glanced at the cavalry outside, holding the military flag with the word "Cai" on it, and said calmly: "Give me the three-barreled gun with good ammunition!"

"My lord, no!"

Upon hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, Chen Yannian and Wang Xian, who were following behind, immediately thought that Ye Mingsheng was provoked by the insulting voice and wanted to fire back, so they hurriedly dissuaded Ye Mingsheng in unison:
Ye Mingsheng ignored their suggestions and still looked at Lin Huaiwu in front of him. Lin Huaiwu hesitated for a moment, but decided to obey Ye Mingsheng's order. He took a three-barreled gun from a soldier nearby, loaded it with gunpowder and lead bullets himself, and handed it to Ye Mingsheng.

"Sir, killing your comrades without permission is a serious crime..."

Seeing Ye Mingsheng taking the three-barreled gun, Chen Yannian couldn't help but continue to dissuade him:
Although Chen Yannian's words were sincere, Ye Mingsheng still didn't even look at him. He held the three-barreled gun and pulled the trigger directly towards the outside of the city wall under the gaze of everyone.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the silent night, the sound of the three-barreled gun was particularly clear and loud. When the cavalrymen who were challenging the enemy outside the city heard the sound of the gunshots, they subconsciously closed their mouths, bent their bodies, and hid behind the horses' bellies.

"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!"

Seeing this cowardly look, the soldiers on the city wall, who had already been furious at their dirty words and insults, immediately burst into laughter.

"Ye Mingsheng is here, where is Brother Cai?"

Throwing the useless three-barreled gun back to Lin Huaiwu, Ye Mingsheng stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the center of the cavalry formation outside the city, and said loudly:
Hearing the shout, Cai Pengbo, who was surrounded by his cavalry outside the city, narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Mingsheng's tall and independent figure on the top of the city wall. He took a deep breath and shouted in a cold voice:

"Ye Mingsheng, you are so brave that you dare to shoot your comrades!"
