Chapter 137: Breakthrough
"Who is the one who comes down from the city, who dares to break into the imperial city at night." On the upper floor of the Xindu Imperial City, the guards on duty at night looked at the dense soldiers under the city, regardless of the storm, they actually broke into the Xindu Imperial City at night, and the general was a little surprised, and then, despite the heavy rain, he stepped to the edge of the city wall and shouted loudly.
Hearing the words of the guard, Chen Junxi raised the flag and immediately signaled the whole army to stop, and then, Cheng Junxi bowed in the direction of the city gate and said loudly: "We are the corporal of the king of Chu Guoji, just now there is a Ming rush for help in the city, it must be my family in trouble, please make it convenient for the general, let me wait to enter the city to rescue my prince." ”
Hearing Chen Junxi's words, the guards on the city gate became cautious, what is the prince of Chu in trouble, what is the sound of snatching the sword, isn't it pouring rain, lightning and thunder? This man can't be dreaming at night!
"Regardless of whether you are a subordinate under the command of the king, please hurry back, otherwise, your behavior will be recognized as a provocation to my Tianshun Empire."
"General in the city, don't get me wrong, my prince must be in trouble, just now sent a distress signal, and please make it convenient for the general to let me wait to enter the city." At this time, Chen Junxi was very anxious, if it was delayed any longer, the prince and the others might really be in big trouble.
Xindu is at the foot of the Son of Heaven of the Tianshun Empire, and all the high-ranking officials and princes live in Xindu, how can anyone trouble other countries, besides, His Majesty invited the talents of the six countries to participate in the autumn hunt, and the patrol personnel of Xindu have increased several times at this time? The city gate guards didn't believe what Chen Junxi said at all.
"Hmph, I believe that the Imperial City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how is it dangerous, I advise you to retreat quickly, otherwise, I will let you wait to see how powerful my Tianshun Empire army is!"
"General, let's just break in! Otherwise, it's too late, I'm afraid there will be trouble there! Seeing the repeated refusal of the city gate guard, a more anxious guard soldier said loudly.
"That's it, fuck it, if it's too late, what if the prince is in danger!" Another guard chimed in.
Compared with the soldiers, Chen Junxi was even more anxious, if something happened to the Ji Palace, not to mention that the army could not explain to the Emperor of Chu when it returned to the Chu State, even his father would take his own dog's life. But as the commander of the escort army, Chen Junxi knows better that when people are under the eaves, they have to know that they have to bow their heads, if they break through the city gate and anger the Tianshun Empire, let alone save the prince, I am afraid that the entire escort army will also be wiped out!
Chen Junxi thought about it three times, and then forcibly calmed down, since he couldn't break through the city gate, then the only hope to save the prince could only be pinned on the Tianshun Empire, Chen Junxi took a deep breath and shouted loudly in the direction of the city gate.
"The guards on the city tower have listened to the general, hurry up and inform you who can be the master of the Tianshun Empire, so that he will ensure the safety of my prince, if tomorrow morning, I can't see my lord, then, my army will knock on the pass, hum!"
Without waiting for the city gate guards to react, Chen Junxi directly turned his head and shouted to all the soldiers behind him.
"Soldiers, camp on the spot."
Seeing that the guards of the Chu State Mission camped directly on the spot, the guards of the Xindu City Gate were a little puzzled, could it really be as the Chu army said, Xiao Chenxuan, the king of Chu State, had an accident? So what unknown channel did the king of Chu transmit information to the Chu army under the city?
If this is the case, then it will be troublesome, no matter who it is, it is not good for the king of Chu and Ji, not only did the Tianshun Empire not protect his safety, but after the Chu army got the news, it must be a big trouble not to let the Chu army savior.
What do you want to do, you have to inform King Zhao, otherwise something will really happen, and I don't know if the others are okay, but I will definitely become the one who takes the blame.
"Come on, quickly report this matter to the prince, forget it, or the general, you all give the general a good look, if this Chu army doesn't know what to do and dares to attack the city, then kill the general! Clear? ”
"Yes." The personnel around the guard immediately replied.
Ignoring the heavy rain, the guard of the city gate of Xindu immediately left the city gate and quickly ran towards the palace of King Zhao, and before he reached the gate of King Zhao's mansion, the guard of the city gate shouted loudly.
"Tell the prince quickly, something is wrong!"
Hearing the noise outside the door, Yang Yong, who had been waiting for the news of the assassination, slowly put down the teacup in his hand and shouted loudly in the direction of the door.
"In the middle of the night, so bold that you dare to disturb the rest of this king."
A guard in front of the mansion quickly ran to Yang Yong and whispered, "Lord Wang, it's General Deng, the guard of the West City Gate." ”
Yang Yong beckoned and said, "Pass him in." ”
When the city gate guard surnamed Deng saw Yang Yong, he immediately knelt down, gasped and said: "Lord Wang, it's not good, the king of Chu Guo Ji has sent a message to his escort mission army, saying that he is in danger, and now, the entire Chu country's mission army is stationed at the west city gate. ”
Hearing the words of the guard, Yang Yong pretended to be very surprised, and shouted: "What, the king of Chu Guoji is in danger? ”
The guard immediately replied: "Yes, my lord, the guard of the Chu State Legation also asks our country to guarantee the safety of the king of Chu State, otherwise, tomorrow they will knock on the pass and attack the city." ”
Unexpectedly, the State of Chu actually had a method of transmitting information that no one knew, and he asked people to assassinate this Chu Tong together with the people recruited by Yang Jiang, but he didn't expect that his side didn't know whether to do it, and the guards of the Chu State Mission learned the news.
Since the Chu State Mission learned the news and still wanted to kill Chu Tong, then the only way to annihilate the Chu State Mission Guards was to do so, but is the Chu State Mission stupid? Definitely not, if you don't let the messenger return to Jingchu to report the news, if you don't come forward to stop it in time at this time, Chu Tong will die, and that old guy from Emperor Chu will not give up easily! Besides, in addition to the Chu State Mission, this letter can also be inhabited by people from the missions of the other five countries, if this is known to the other Wu States, I am afraid that the six countries will unite and point the finger directly at the Tianshun Empire!
It seems that this Chu Tong should not be killed, and he will have to live for a few more days! Alas, wait to save Chu Tong, he was assassinated in Tianshun, I'm afraid I have to give him an explanation! The more Yang Yong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he yelled.
"Bold, dare to threaten my Tianshun Empire! It's true that this king is a vegetarian, hum. ”
Although Yang Yong said this, he still got up quickly and instructed the guards beside him: "Come here, follow this king to the mansion where the king of Chu and Ji is located." ”
"Yes." The guards around Yang Yong shouted in unison.
Seeing Yang Yong leaving, the city gate guard who was kneeling on the ground breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the rain on his face with his hand, and then stood up.
At this time, in the mansion where Xiao Chenxuan was, there were more than 20 guards, except for the one named Ah Song, who and everyone were killed in the battle, and even the King of Qiannan and others were seriously injured, but a few people seemed to be fine, tightly surrounding Xiao Chenxuan in the middle.
At this time, Cheng Erniu suddenly shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, there are too many enemies, and they can't be killed at all, if they continue like this, they will definitely not work." ”
Zhang Yuhang, who was next to Cheng Erniu, licked the blood on his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "Erniu, break through and escort the two princes out." ”
At this time, Ah Song, the only surviving guard, shouted loudly: "Yes, General Cheng, you are infinitely powerful, you can accompany the prince to leave with the king of Qiannan." ”
The king of Qiannan smashed a killer to death with a hammer and said: "After Lao Tzu is broken, Erniu, take your prince away." ”
At this time, Xiao Chenxuan was extremely self-blaming, it was because of his own carelessness that caused the tragedy in front of him, Xiao Chenxuan struggled for a long time, held the musket gun with his injured left hand, and quickly filled the ammunition, and then said: "No, this king wants to live and die together with his brothers, how can he steal his life?" ”
King Qiannan once again smashed a killer to death, quickly retreated to Xiao Chenxuan's side, and said very seriously: "You must go, all the brothers can't die in vain, only if you escape, can you find out who the murderer behind the scenes is." ”
"The prince of Qiannan is right, Your Highness, you must live, only if you are still alive, my brothers will not die in vain." Lei Banghua, who was covered with scars, knew that if there was no miracle, he would be dead today, and glanced at his younger brother beside him, and felt a little regretful, he should not have taken his younger brother to join the army in the first place.
"Don't fight, take your lord, Lao Tzu will open a bloody road for you to kill!" The king of Qiannan knew that if he wanted to leave, this group of local chickens and dogs would definitely not be able to stop him, but Xiao Chenxuan did not know martial arts, and he could not escape at all, he was not only the backbone of the Chu State mission, but also the future of the Chu State, only by protecting Xiao Chenxuan and letting him survive could someone avenge all the dead brothers, whether it was the Six Kingdoms or Tianshun, the King of Qiannan believed that Xiao Chenxuan would not let him down.
Seeing that the king of Qiannan made up his mind to break off for his own prince, Cheng Erniu scanned all the brothers around him back and forth, if he was lucky enough to escort his own prince out today, this group of brothers may only be Chen Junxi who was with the embassy guards outside the city gate, and An Tingyong who was inquiring about the news, Cheng Erniu shouted loudly with red eyes.
"Lord Wang, let's go, we can't let the brothers sacrifice in vain."
Xiao Chenxuan knew very well that if several of his subordinate generals, or his uncle King Qiannan, if they didn't protect themselves, any of them would have a chance to escape, and he was completely a burden, if he didn't leave, he might really not be able to survive.
"Okay, I'll leave for you, brothers, take care."
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, King Qiannan and the others also shouted: "Lord Wang, take care."
With a wave of his hammer, the king of Qiannan opened a road in an instant, and at this time, the king of Qiannan shouted: "Erniu, protect the prince, and you must send him back to Chu safely." ”
