Nan Yan subconsciously grabbed the skirt of his chest.
"How did this happen?"
Where did these people come from? !
Zhu Feng originally didn't intend to tell her so soon. After all, the overall situation is not yet determined, the siege has only just formed, and whether Zhu Xuan will surrender or fight has not yet been decided. However, seeing Nan Yan's eagerness, he couldn't help it.
He said, "It's really nothing, just—"
But before he finished speaking halfway, Nan Yan suddenly interrupted him and said loudly: "No harm?!"
Upon hearing this name, Zhu Feng frowned all of a sudden.
Nan Yan leaned on the wall and looked down with surprise.
Although the flames were shining on the tower, but because the tower was too high, it was impossible to see everyone below clearly. However, when a cavalry rode out from the gate with a gloomy killing aura, the people in front of them were shocked. When the enemy is too far away, she can still see it at a glance.
Even, one could tell at a glance that it was Li Bushang!
Li Bushang who has been "missing" for many days!
He actually appeared here, and he led such a team to appear!
Nan Yan was overwhelmed with surprise, with a joyful expression on her face, she looked down excitedly, and looked at Zhu Feng with joy, but Zhu Feng's face darkened slightly when he saw the fire shining.
He said coldly, "Did you see him?"
With so many people, did you see him at a glance
After all, seeing such a large group of troops coming, and basically the safety of Crane City, Nan Yan's heart was completely relieved. What's more, she was even more happy to see Li Bushang who hadn't seen him for a long time. Notice Zhu Feng's tone.
Excited, she pointed to the bottom and said, "He's right there."
"..."
Zhu Feng's face turned even uglier.
"How can you see so clearly?"
Nan Yan glanced at him with some doubts—what's the problem here
Although the light is very dark, especially in winter, once the sun goes down, the sky will get dark very quickly. At this time, the earth has basically been plunged into darkness, but there are still fires shining on the top of the city. The powerful momentum appeared, forcing the rebels to retreat again and again.
How could I not see it myself
However, seeing the almost gloomy expression on Zhu Feng's face, her heart skipped a beat.
The originally excited mood also pressed down a little.
Somehow, a little guilty.
Zhu Feng glared at her, then turned his head away again, but Wen Ye had already rushed up from below with two lieutenants.
"emperor."
"Um."
Zhu Fengtou was still angry, and even if he only said "um" to others, he was still very angry. Wen Ye and the others immediately felt it, and hurriedly lowered their heads.
In fact, he was still a little shocked.
Originally, today, he had already planned to rush out of the city to fight the rebels, but suddenly, the guard at the gate on the other side of the city reported that he knew that another group of soldiers had entered the city.
So, immediately opened the gate on the other side to let them in.
At this moment, although the rebel army has not yet surrendered, they all know that Crane City is safe and the emperor's safety is also relieved.
But for some reason, Zhu Feng's tone sounded more sullen than before.
Seeing how frightened they were, Zhu Feng coughed lightly.
"explain!"
Wen Ye hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the encirclement has been formed, Li Bushang has sent a message, is it forced to surrender or—"
He didn't say the next word.
After all, I still worry that Zhu Xuan is still Zhu Feng's brother. Even Zhu Xuan, the king of Jing who rebelled against the regicide on the border of Yue, and Zhu Feng saved his life. No one knows whether he will show mercy to this brother. .
Nan Yan hurriedly looked at him.
Zhu Feng's breath sank, but he didn't hesitate: "Other people, if they are stubborn, they will be killed without mercy."
"yes!"
"Dan Ning Wang—" He paused and said, "I want him to live."
"The humble minister takes orders!"
After finishing speaking, Wen Ye hurriedly passed the order down.
Nan Yan looked up at Zhu Feng, but saw that the sullen expression on his gloomy face gradually dissipated, but something deep floated from the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, under the city tower, swords are tense.
Seeing that Li Bushang led the army out of the city gate, encircled the cavalry behind and surrounded them, Zhu Xuan's face turned pale, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze into ice at this moment.
He totally understood.
There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he looked up at the tower.
Because it was too far away, and also because of the backlight, he could barely see that tall figure looking down at him. Even though he couldn't see clearly, he could feel the arrogance in his eyes, as if the god of war had come to the world, looking down on the world with contempt. These ants under his feet.
Zhu Xuan sneered: "I still underestimate you, I still underestimate you."
At this time, Li Bushang drew out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at them.
In the darkness, the sword light flickered, piercing people's eyes.
"The traitor Zhu Xuan!"
He shouted in a deep voice: "Are you surrendering or not?!"
Following his deep shout, the soldiers behind him immediately shouted loudly with him: "Will you surrender or not!"
Such a huge sound wave hit people, giving people a great sense of oppression, and the rebels couldn't help but feel timid. The people standing in front were even shocked by the momentum, and took several steps back one after another.
Zhai Yun, who was protecting Zhu Xuan, also showed a frightened expression at this time.
He turned to look at Zhu Xuan: "Your Highness?"
"..."
Zhu Xuan was speechless.
Originally, his advantage over Zhu Feng was that he was calculating people's hearts; Zhu Feng's advantage was military tactics. But at the moment, calculating people's hearts has no effect, and they are completely surrounded in the war.
at this time-
He gritted his teeth, his face was ashen, but Zhai Yun refused to admit defeat, and said loudly: "Your Highness, we have not lost yet! We still have Changqing City and the military camp not far away!"
Hearing what he said, Zhu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Indeed, there are still people in the barracks!
If they can be summoned, break out of the siege, and return to Changqing City—at least, there is still a way!
Therefore, Zhu Xuan hurriedly summoned everyone to retreat.
But at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the tower, the tall figure raised his hand and made a gesture to the front.
Although it was dark, he stood under the firelight at the top of the city, and everyone was watching him. It was just a small movement, but it seemed to feel like a thunderbolt.
What is he doing
Just when Zhu Xuan felt faintly uneasy, suddenly, another group of men and horses came out from the birch forest where they were hiding before, and the cavalry surrounding them pushed away from both sides, raised their torches, and illuminated those people.
Seeing clearly in front of his eyes, Zhu Xuan's face turned pale instantly.
As if, I couldn't believe my eyes.
