Chapter 488: The City Gate is in a stalemate
They wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but as soon as they walked to the gate of the city, their subordinates came to report, and the king of Chu actually found out about the plan and went and returned.
"Hurry up and leave me alone." Ji Wan knew very well that her body was too weak and would only become a burden to them.
Xie Yutang saw that she had suffered so much, how could he be willing to abandon her again?
"I will never let you stay here alone, you have to die together, you have to live together." Xie Yutang looked at her and said very firmly.
"It's really touching that you husband and wife love each other so much!" Not far away, the voice of the King of Chu came.
The King of Chu was on the steps, looking at them condescendingly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Xie Yutang, it is precisely because of your affection that I know that I have been tricked, how can you be willing to ignore Chi Wan's life or death?" ”
Xie Yutang hugged Chi Wan tightly, "King Chu, I don't want to say anything more, but you are insidious and cunning, and you can't win the hearts of the people if you are narrow-minded, even if you don't have me, you can't sit on the throne." ”
The King of Chu waved his hand angrily, ordered the archers to set up a position, pointed directly at Xie Yutang and Chi Wan, and at the same time ordered people to shout loudly, "Traitor Xie Yutang, Chi Wan, if you don't tie up your hands quickly, you won't be able to escape!" ”
The city gate was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards for a while.
Xie Yutang protected Chi Wan tightly behind him, and when he heard King Chu's words, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
They hid behind a house by the city gate, and the people of the king of Chu approached step by step.
Xie Yutang looked around, twisted his eyebrows and said to Chi Wan, "Wanwan, I'll go and lead them away, you leave from that alley, there are few people there, and the forbidden army can't see ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chi Wan, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to come with you." ”
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, Xie Yutang couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he still persuaded patiently, "Wanwan, obedient, believe me, I'll be fine, you go find a place to hide first, wait for me, I will find you." ”
Chi Wan still shook her head in refusal, and looked at Xie Yutang with a firm look in her eyes, "Yutang, have you forgotten?" As we said, no matter what happens, we will be together, and even if you drive me away today, I will not leave. ”
Her eyes were clear, but with unquestionable resoluteness, Xie Yutang was quite moved when he saw it, he pulled the other party into his arms, hugged him tightly, and his voice was hoarse, "Okay, don't go, we're together." ”
Chi Wan hooked the corners of her mouth, showed a good-looking smile, and hugged Xie Yutang with her backhand. No matter how it ends today, she will be with Xie Yutang.
"Shoot!" At this time, King Chu's patience finally ran out, and he stared coldly at the place where Xie Yutang was hiding. With its command, the archer drew the bowstring. The situation is imminent!
At this moment, a clear and high-pitched voice came from a distance, "Wait! ”
Everyone subconsciously looked back, only to see that on the empty street, a horse galloped over, and the person on the horse was the Nine Princes.
King Chu frowned, and his tone was a little displeased, "Ninth brother, what are you doing here?"
The Ninth Prince immediately owed a slight debt, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Brother Huang, stop it, you didn't kill anyone else, but the brother you grew up with since childhood." ”
"Shut up." King Chu had a cold face, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "What do I do, it's not your turn to point fingers." ”
Hearing this, the Nine Princes' face showed a sad expression, he looked around at the Praetorian Guards, and sighed faintly, "Brother Chen is not trying to teach you how to do it, but it is better to be a Ming Jun than to kill?" ”
King Chu seemed to hear the big joke, raised his head and laughed, and the ninth prince didn't speak, just pursed his lips tightly, and looked at this brother with complicated eyes.
Suddenly, as soon as the laughter stopped, the King of Chu raised his voice suddenly, "I can only be a Ming Jun if I kill them!" Ninth brother, haven't you forgotten that those two chaotic ministers and thieves want to covet my country?! Why do I keep them? "He finally ascended to the throne, how could he be willing to raise tigers?
The Nine Princes shook his head and calmly pointed out, "Xie Yutang never thought of becoming an emperor, I believe that he is a person, and everything is made up by you out of thin air." Brother Huang, have you forgotten that when you were in the prison, who helped you wash away your sins, and who helped you escape from the prison? If it weren't for Xie Yutang, you would still be the prisoner. ”
These words, for the king of Chu, can be described as a heart-wrenching sentence.
He was originally extremely jealous of Xie Yutang's ability, and the words of the Nine Princes undoubtedly reminded him once again that this throne was seized by the other party for him, and Xie Yutang's strength was far stronger than him. Even to say that it is disrespectful, if it weren't for Xie Yutang's unintentional throne, I am afraid that the one sitting on the Jinluan Hall now does not know who it is.
Thinking of this, King Chu's expression couldn't help but distort for a moment, and after a long while, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Ignorance, stupidity, how can I have such a stupid brother as you!" "Anyway, they are all children of the royal family, and they all have the same blood flowing in their bodies, but the Ninth Prince would rather help an outsider speak than stand on the same front as him.
Seeing that King Chu couldn't make sense, and was determined to kill Chi Wan and Xie Yutang, the Nine Princes sighed, and his expression suddenly became cold, "Since the imperial brother doesn't listen to persuasion, then don't blame the younger brother for not being emotional." ”
These words made the King of Chu suddenly vigilant, "What are you going to do?" ”
As he spoke, he quietly took a step back, his eyes narrowing slightly.
However, no matter how he looked at it, the Nine Princes came here alone, and they didn't bring many people with him. The king of Chu relieved his heart a little, as long as it did not endanger his life, he could tolerate it for the time being.
Just when he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the Ninth Prince take out something from his arms and slowly unfold it towards the King of Chu, "Brother Huang, do you still know, what is this?" ”
Because the distance between the two is a little far, the king of Chu can't see it clearly, but the arrogance of being an emperor makes him reluctant to show his ignorant side. He just glanced at it casually, then pretended to know it in his heart, and snorted coldly, "Ninth brother, you want to pretend to be a ghost again." ”
"The younger brother is not pretending to be a ghost, these are all evidence of your slander and framing your brother, and it really took a lot of effort for the younger brother to get them." The expression on the face of the Nine Princes was very light, neither happy nor proud, let alone down, as if he was just stating one thing.
But these words were like a huge hammer, hitting the heart of King Chu heavily, making King Chu's heart chuckle, he knew the things he had done best.
Xie Yutang is not guilty, on the contrary, he did make a lot of effort to ascend the throne, but the king of Chu doesn't want others to know this, he just wants the world to know that Xie Yutang is a sinner, a rebellious minister and a thief, and a rebel.
When the Nine Princes came like this, it was tantamount to uncovering his fig leaf, how could he endure it?
"Ninth brother, don't think that if you take something casually, you can slander me, you are committing the following crimes, if you don't stop, I can let people shoot you immediately!" The king of Chu tried to maintain his composure on the surface, but the fingers hidden under his robe were trembling slightly.
The Ninth Prince glanced at King Chu calmly, and raised his eyebrows strangely, "Since the imperial brother said that this is not true, then why are you angry?" Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to know what kind of emperor you are following? For his own interests, he can sacrifice everyone, whether it is a hero or a brother, in his eyes, it is far less important than the dragon chair. Ask yourself, can you compare yourself with General Xie? The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Which of you has the confidence that you will never be the one to be sacrificed?! ”
When the words landed, there was a commotion in the Praetorian Guard.
They have always only followed orders and acted on orders, and they have never thought carefully about right and wrong, but when they heard the words of the Nine Princes today, they couldn't help but start thinking about it.
If one day, some of them also made meritorious contributions and became generals, however, the king of Chu could not see such a person, and suppressed him at all costs, and even wanted to kill people to consolidate his imperial position. So what's the point of what they're fighting for?
For a moment, everyone was at a loss. Even the personal eunuch beside King Chu had a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, the king of Chu was angry and his forehead was bruised, and he pointed at the nine princes with a whip, and said word by word, "You should die!" ”
"It's all for me to listen to, the words of the Nine Princes are pure fabrications, all of them are fictitious things, do you prefer to believe Xie Yutang, a chaotic minister and thief, and want to rebel?" The majestic gaze of the King of Chu, the spiritual power swept over the left and right forbidden troops present.
The forbidden soldiers thought about it for a while, they were actually at a loss, they had always been accustomed to obeying orders, and they never dared to question the emperor's mind, so after the king of Chu said this, they subconsciously strangled the budding retreat in the cradle.
What's more, no matter how you look at this scene now, the Nine Princes do not have an advantage.
Following the Nine Princes will die, and following the emperor will not only save his life, but also take the righteousness. After weighing it, the little wavering just now all shrank back.
The King of Chu was very satisfied with this, his face was gloomy, his eyes were staring at the Nine Princes, and there was no warmth in his voice, "Inciting the army's heart, harboring ill intentions, and colluding with the chaotic ministers and thieves, Ninth Brother, this is what you asked for, since you want to defend Xie Yutang so much, then, you can die with them!" ”
As the voice of the King of Chu fell, the forbidden army was all ready and aimed all the arrows at the Nine Princes.
