Chapter 459: Siege!
When Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu were still five days away from the capital, they learned the news from the capital.
The second prince was imprisoned, and the crime was serious, and the two of them never thought that His Majesty would just want to teach this son a lesson, and they all thought that His Majesty might have moved to kill.
Jiang Xiaoyu was not in the mood to have a cold war with Zhao Ling anymore, and hurriedly asked him to discuss countermeasures, the two briefly discussed, the brother had an accident in the capital, they did not think about fleeing the capital, but hurried back to the capital.
When they were still three days away from the capital, they received a message from Qi Guifei, asking them not to go back, but to fly away, and when they returned to the capital at this time, they undoubtedly took the initiative to immerse themselves in the trap.
"What is it now?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked, "Are we going or going back?" ”
"The second child is in prison on a very vague charge!" Zhao Ling thought for a moment and said, "What do you think it will be because of?" I've been wondering about one thing, that is, His Majesty will let Lando do something to us, but after Lando's failure, there is no next move, but let us go back to the capital, all the way here? Now I have figured it out, it's because of the second child, so this is the reason why the second child angered His Majesty! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu bit his lip lightly and said, "If the second prince really fell into such a situation because of you and me, then we must rescue him no matter what, even if he is dead, it is impossible to ignore him!" There is danger after we go back, if we don't go back, we are afraid that our conscience will not be at peace for the rest of our lives! ”
Zhao Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes, hugged her into his arms, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said: "I just thought about it for a while, I am the son of the King of Chu no matter what, the grandson of the prince, Your Majesty will be scruples after all, but you are different, the Queen Mother will not protect you, if I am difficult to protect myself at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect you, so you leave the capital for the time being, you leave the Great Zhou, go to your senior brother and master, let them protect you, and wait until I settle the affairs of the capital and then go to you?" ”
"No way!" Jiang Xiaoyu said without hesitation, "The second prince is still His Majesty's own son, he wants to kill him, let alone you?" If he had any scruples, what happened in the Qimu Grassland would not have happened! You're in danger when you go back, and you won't be better off than I am! We are husband and wife, life and death together, we want to live together, we want to die together, I won't live alone, so don't persuade me to leave, I won't leave you! What's more, the second prince is not only your brother, he is also my brother! ”
Zhao Ling sighed deeply: "Little fish...... Good! We live and die together! ”
After the two made up their minds, they didn't care about Concubine Qi's warning, and wanted to rush back to the capital, no matter what, they would rescue the second prince! They thought that they would be able to return to the capital, and that they would be able to unite some ministers with still good consciences to send a letter to Emperor Zhou, test pressure on him, and ask him to forgive the second prince, but what they didn't expect was that they had no way to return to the capital and complete the plan they discussed.
When they were still a day's way away from the capital, Changsun Chi led the Xiao cavalry battalion to block their way.
Zhao Ling looked at the people in front of him, and his heart was cold, he once regarded the Xiaocai camp as his other home, and the Xiaocai camp used to be his biggest reliance, and the brothers in it had all fought side by side with him, but he didn't expect that now he would stand in front of him and become his enemy.
Eldest Sun Chi looked at Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu with pity, and said, "You can choose to leave, why do you want to come back?" ”
"I'm coming back because there's still some work to be done!" Zhao Ling said, "Some things should always be more important than your own life!" ”
"Very good, you come back, but you don't have to do a lot of work on my part!" The eldest grandson Chi said lightly, "I admire you for what you insist on, but in the future, the facts will prove that what you insist on is wrong!" You are fighting with an emperor of the past and the present, you are blocking the development of history, then failure is your doomed fate, in the face of the torrent of the times, no one can stop it! ”
"Changsun Chi, General Changsun, you have come this far, haven't you ever regretted it?"
"Regret what?" Changsun Chi sneered, "Look at today's Great Zhou, from top to bottom exudes vigorous vitality, the Great Zhou is dominant, the world congratulates, the people of my Great Zhou are in a peaceful and prosperous era, they can be fed and clothed, all of this proves that my original choice was right!" You are too short-sighted to see only the part in front of you, and you have not seen what kind of world Your Majesty has created for us! ”
"You have really been brainwashed too badly by Your Majesty!" Jiang Xiaoyu sneered, "We never deny that he is an excellent emperor, but as a husband and father, is he really qualified?" I don't care about the country, the world, we just want to save our brother when we go back, we don't care about other things, and we don't want to care anymore! ”
"Go back?" Eldest Sun Chi's smile was even colder, "Just with you people, do you think you have the ability to defeat the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and return to the capital?" Even if you return to the capital, will you be able to defeat the city guards and go into the prison to save people? ”
"Even if we fail, we will still do it!" Zhao Ling said sonorously.
"Stubborn!" Eldest Sun Chi waved his hand, "Up!" ”
What is the ability of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, no one knows better than Zhao Ling, when he saw the eldest grandson Chi blocking their way with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, he already had a faint answer in his heart, failure may have been doomed, he has already sensed the danger he has never had, he saw the bloody and cruel scene he will face, but he will still feel unwilling, as he said, even if he will fail, but he will fight once!
Although they were facing the terrifying Xiao Cavalry Battalion, not only Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling did not have the slightest fear, but the soldiers behind them did not show any fear!
Needless to say, the secret guard was personally cultivated by Zhao Ling and had the same heart as him, and the black armor guard was the personal guard of the second prince, and they were more eager than anyone else to go back to the capital to rescue their master, so they would not be afraid of the oppression from the death that came.
With the order of the eldest grandson, the Xiao cavalry camp was like a black tide towards Jiang Xiaoyu Zhao Ling and them to submerge, rolling wildly and whistling, as if they were going to swallow everything.
"Meet the enemy!" Zhao Ling pulled out his sword, even if he hit the stone with an egg, he would not show the slightest fear of that man, in order to be subdued by his authority, this may be the greatest revenge for him!
"Kill!" Jiang Xiaoyu shouted loudly, and then rushed towards the Xiaoqi camp.
The sky on this day was particularly gloomy and dreary, a harbinger of heavy rain, large dark clouds hovering overhead, flocks of crows flew by, and it was as if someone had sucked the air away between heaven and earth.
It's not enough to have the courage to live to die, strength is sometimes so cruel, even if some are brave and fearless, even if life and death have already been put aside, but in front of a strong opponent, he is still weak like a child, and he can't shake the other party at all.
Although the dark guards and the black guards are all kinds of masters, they are still at a disadvantage in front of the cavalry battalion, which has a crushing advantage in equipment and numbers, and how heroic the fight is, how tragic the result is. They have fought for their lives, but they are still being killed on the ground one by one, and the number of the other party does not seem to be decreasing, they don't know how many people they have killed, but they are still surrounded by a black tide in the middle.
The guards around them decreased one by one, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling were also hung on the mountain, they were slowly forced onto the cliff, and they had reached the point where there was no way to retreat, but the other party was pressing step by step.
The blood was on his face, the hand holding the weapon was numb, and he didn't know how many slashes he had been made, and the pain had all been killed by the killing of the red eyes.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu and the others did not have many people left, they were still resisting stubbornly, and the Xiaocai Battalion was still outnumbered, but they couldn't make any progress for a while.
"Fetch my bow and arrows!" Eldest Sun Chi looked at the front coldly and said.
"Yes!"
The men under him brought his usual bow and arrows, and Changsun Chi pulled the bow full and aimed it at Zhao Ling, only to hear a whistling sound, and the arrow flew out!
Zhao Ling was fighting with the two people from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, almost subconsciously, and shouted: "Be careful!" Immediately, his body flew out involuntarily, rushed in front of Zhao Ling, and blocked the arrow.
The eldest grandson Chi is a fierce general on the battlefield, and his strength is incomparable, and the power on this arrow is even more unstoppable. Jiang Xiaoyu only felt the arrow pass through her chest, and her body was carried forward by the power of the arrow until she fell into the cliff.
"Little fish!" Zhao Ling screamed, ignoring the danger that came at any time beside him, and pounced towards Jiang Xiaoyu and grabbed her hand.
He grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll pull you up now!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu spit out a mouthful of blood, feeling that something was passing a little bit, and the pain was so painful that she didn't feel it at all, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Ling's face hard, wanting to keep this face in her heart forever, and said with a smile: "Zhao Ling, let go!" Otherwise we'll all die! ”
"What about life and death?" Zhao Ling roared.
"Not now!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "No matter what, you have to live, just give out the second prince and avenge me!" I want you to live more than if I die with me! Let go, otherwise we will really die together, I am unwilling, who will avenge me! Zhao Ling, live, live! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, then reached out and broke Zhao Ling's hand, and instantly his body fell towards the bottom of the cliff quickly!
"Jiang Xiaoyu!" Zhao Ling shouted heartbreakingly.
