In the morning wind, He Lianxuan was leading the way, the wind was whistling in his ears, the flags were ringing, and the blood in his heart was burning with excitement, anger, and worry.
What is exciting is that after one and a half years and hardships, he finally returned to Jinling, his home.
Angry, the shameless King Yu and the Five Emperors are colluding to attack the city. Such a prosperous and peaceful place, a thousand-year-old ancient capital, is now being trampled by iron hoofs.
What worries him is that his relatives are in danger, Huai Song's country is in danger, and he is afraid that he will be too late.
He broke through all the way and narrowly escaped death. He worked non-stop and was extremely exhausted, but he could not stop and did not dare to stop for a moment.
I am just afraid of the words "too late".
The three words "too late" sometimes really have the destructive power to destroy the world and destroy everything. He has fought bloody battles and his heart has become like steel, but when he thinks of these three words, he still can't help but feel his heart tremble.
Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you must hold on. The ministers are here, bringing reinforcements.
Xiaojing, Chunyu, and all the brothers, you must hold on, I will fight alongside you.
Naya, you have to hold on, you have traveled thousands of miles away from home for me, and we haven’t gotten married yet. You have to give me the chance to fulfill the vows you made to the Changshengtian on the grassland.
Thinking of this, He Lianxuan was so anxious that he raised his hand and waved his whip, shouting: "The rebels are right in front of you, brothers, follow me and charge..."
The prince received a report that there was an army in the distance that did not know whether it was our enemy or our own. The prince immediately climbed up the tower and looked into the distance.
"Your Highness, this place is too dangerous. Please leave immediately." A general blocked the prince with his body. Arrows were flying here, and there were enemy soldiers who could attack at any time. Life and death here was a waste.
The prince looked at the blood all over his body, whether it was the general's own or the enemy's, and asked, "What's your name?"
The general cupped his hands and said, "The last general is Ling Tong, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
The prince nodded slightly and patted his shoulder, ignoring the blood on his armor: "Good job."
After that, he gently pushed the captain away, walked to the crenel, and looked into the distance.
I saw a gold-rimmed black flag fluttering in the wind in the distance.
A faint smile appeared on the prince's lips, and the smile gradually spread to his deep eyes, igniting the light of hope. This guy, hurriedly and slowly, finally caught up.
That flag was like the dazzling golden light that jumped out of the horizon and became the bright dawn that shot into his heart.
Because he knew that it was He Lianxuan's flag.
He Lianxuan is here.
"That's our reinforcements." The prince said slightly.
These words were like a magic medicine that brought the dead back to life. Everyone's eyes lit up, and their numb hearts suddenly became full of blood.
"Reinforcements are coming, brothers, kill..."
Suddenly, the defenders' momentum surged.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the Fifth Emperor's men and horses were attacked from both sides and were in a dilemma. They did not care about attacking the city. They turned around and the reserve team became the forward. If he could not rush out, then he would become a turtle in the urn and would surely die.
Unfortunately, he was facing He Lianxuan, the most powerful general in the Huaisong Dynasty. It was not easy to break through.
In the palace, as the first golden sun was projected on the majestic palace, the last enemy soldier was killed by Xia Chunyu's sword.
An arduous battle finally came to an end.
But no one cheered. Everyone looked at the corpses everywhere with tragic expressions. Victory came so hard and at an unimaginable heavy price.
Of the thousand guards, there are only about a hundred standing now, and the rest are either seriously injured or dead.
Zichen Palace, the most central place in the Huaisong Dynasty and the symbol of the illustrious imperial power, at this time, was simply a hell on earth, a pool of Shura blood.
Chirp... A firework like a shooting star suddenly rose in the east, blooming brilliantly in the sky.
Xia Chunyu, who was already extremely tired, suddenly focused his eyes.
He immediately showed a look of surprise.
That was the signal that he and the prince had negotiated for the arrival of reinforcements.
The reinforcements finally arrived and Jinling City could be saved.
Xia Chunyu originally wanted to stick to the palace, but now he has no worries.
Turning to look at the blank-looking brothers, Xia Chunyu said loudly: "Brothers, that is the signal for the arrival of reinforcements. Our blood has not been shed a hundred times. We have used our blood to defend the dignity of the Huaisong Dynasty, the dignity of the royal family, and our own dignity."
The large furniture is awe-inspiring.
"Now, I order Cheng Yi, you take fifty people to stay and clean the battlefield. Don't let the brothers' corpses remain intact. The rest of the people will follow me out of the palace to capture the rebellious ministers and traitors alive." Xia Chunyu issued the order.
Naya followed Xia Chunyu and asked, "Will the reinforcements be He Lianxuan?"
Xia Chunyu was not sure about this issue, although he felt that it was very likely that it was He Lianxuan.
"probably!"
Naya was delighted: "Then I'll go to the east city gate and wait for him."
He immediately left the team.
Xia Chunyu smiled helplessly. Naya was purely here to help. Thanks to her that night, she can now be regarded as the hero who has retired.
King Yu also saw the cluster of fireworks, and the color on his face instantly drained away. His body swayed and he almost couldn't stand.
The tide is over.
He was defeated, utterly defeated.
The palace could not be taken, but he still had hope and sustenance. As long as the reinforcements did not arrive in such a timely manner, the Fifth Emperor's Uncle would be able to break into the city in less than half a day.
But now, all hope is lost.
"Your Highness, please follow me and evacuate quickly." A man dressed in black said hastily.
King Yu just stared blankly, unable to recover from the absolute impact brought by the cluster of fireworks.
He was filled with unwillingness and disbelief.
He was unwilling to give up. Years of painstaking efforts and years of planning ended in this way.
He was unwilling to give up, and his ambition and ambition were shattered by the blow.
He was unwilling to give up, and the kingdoms within his reach still passed him by. He was obviously more qualified than the prince to sit on the dragon throne and rule the world.
What is a prince? Indecisive and benevolent as a woman, the kingdom will only become more decadent in his hands. The reason why the prince is the prince is just because he has a mother who is a queen, who was born half a year earlier than him.
In terms of intelligence, strategy, and bravery, how could the prince compare to him
He failed like this. From then on, he was a rebellious minister and a rat in the gutter all his life, while the prince became a hero in protecting the country and even ascended to the throne.
Could it be that all his painstaking planning ended up being a wedding dress for the prince
If he didn't poison his father, he would still have enough time to deal with the prince and eat away at him bit by bit. In fact, he had been doing this before, and the results were very good. However, after the emperor was assassinated in Nanshan Palace, the Shu family was implicated. When he came in, although his father didn't blame him, it was obvious that his father was wary of him. Everything that happened after that showed that his father had given up on him.
So, he couldn't bear it any longer, and instead of waiting for death slowly, he decided to give it a try.
However, the consequence of the desperate struggle was to hasten their demise.
Thinking of this, King Yu's blood surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness..." His subordinates exclaimed in surprise.
King Yu waved his hand and forced himself to calm down and face reality.
"Go, kill Princess Yu, and let's evacuate from the secret passage."
It was all that damn woman. If she hadn't leaked his plan, maybe he would have succeeded by now.
In this life, he was ruined at the hands of women.
A Lin family is ignorant and an A Ruan is in the Cao camp and his heart is in the Han Dynasty. They both deserve to die.
If he loses, he will have to make those who betrayed him pay the price.
Killing Ah Ruan would at least make He Lianjing miserable.
Ah Ruan's hands were tied behind her back, but her expression was very calm. She was ready. Death was just a blink of an eye. She could die, she would rather die, but she must not do what King Yu said. She saw Xiao Jing's head before she died.
As long as Xiaojing is alive and well, and as long as the people she likes are safe, then she will die with peace of mind.
With a bang, the door was violently kicked open.
Ah Ruan raised his eyes and saw a stranger.
The initial worry was relieved, and immediately, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
It would be nice if it wasn't King Yu who came, that means King Yu's conspiracy didn't succeed.
The visitor drew out his long knife and walked towards Ah Ruan.
Ah Ruan took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Death is coming, but she only feels joy in her heart.
Because she knows that if King Yu loses, he will kill her without hesitation. If King Yu wins, he will definitely torture her in all kinds of ways with his perverted mind.
The visitor looked at Princess Yu, who was looking forward to death, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He thought that this beautiful woman like a flower would be crying and begging him, but he didn't expect that she looked at death with no intention of begging for mercy.
He is a Jianghu person, and Jianghu people have a sense of Jianghu loyalty. The most respected people are those who are not afraid of death.
Therefore, when the long sword was raised, it couldn't bear to fall down for a while.
Just these few seconds of hesitation.
A light figure broke through the window and stood in front of him holding a scimitar.
"If you want to kill the princess, kill me first." The clear voice revealed an extremely decisive momentum.
Ah Ruan opened his eyes and was shocked: "Ah Man, what are you doing here? Leave quickly."
Aman's eyes were fixed on the enemy and he said resolutely: "Princess, before Aman came to Jinling, he promised the princess that he must protect the princess. If Aman cannot protect the princess, he must not let the princess go alone. Even if Aman Even if I die, I will follow the princess and serve her underground."
Ah Ruan was speechless. She told Ah Man not to come back because she didn't want one more person to die in vain. She didn't expect Ah Man to be so disobedient.
"Ah Man, you are so disobedient." When Ah Ruan said this, tears flowed down.
The man looked at Princess Yu, and then at this young and thin maid, who looked forward to death, and his heart became more and more entangled.
He is from Jianghu, and this time he acted under the orders of the young master. If the young master ordered to kill Princess Yu, then he would not even hesitate for a moment, but this order was given by Prince Yu.
It was very difficult for him to deal with a weak female prostitute.
