0547: Left behind

Xiao Chen dragged the dragon spear and forcibly rushed through the enemy's remaining undestroyed ambush area, and soon met with Zhu Xiaoxiao's Imperial Forest Army.

The forward troops of the Royal Forest Army did not know Xiao Chen, and thought that he was an enemy, and several people attacked him, and Xiao Chen had to stop castrating and avoid the attack.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for more than ten seconds, and Hugh Feng, who was following him, shouted loudly, drinking the momentum of the Royal Forest Army's attack.

"Lord Xiao, if you really come...... a middle-aged man dressed too far came to the front of the formation, exclaimed, and then drank the Imperial Forest Army gathered nearby, and said: "Lord Xiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is behind, and the old slave will take you over." ”

"If you're tired, please lead the way." Xiao Chen said politely, put away the dragon spear, made a friendly appearance, and followed the eunuch without hesitation.

The vanguard of the Royal Forest Army let Xiao Chen and the others go over, and continued to attack and advance, and after a while, the remaining few royal guards and Yun Xiao joined them, but they did not follow, but under the supervision of some people, they hid under the buildings on both sides.

Xiao Chen was taken to Zhu Xiaoxiao's hovercar, the door opened, Xiao Chen jumped up smartly, and just as he got into the car, several sniper bullets came rapidly, hitting the bulletproof car door, and also hit the car, splashing a few strings of sparks.

Those sniper positions were immediately detected, and suddenly, the heavy shelling returned to color, causing a wave of explosions and fire.

Before Xiao Chen sat down, a person pounced, and he naturally reached out to hold the other party.

"Xiao Chen, the emperor's uncle has died, and my father is also dead......" Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly cried.

"I know......" Xiao Chen didn't know how to comfort the other party, just awkwardly stroked Zhu Xiaoxiao's back.

From the moment the imperial capital exploded, Xiao Chen guessed that the emperor had died, and if the emperor was still there, King Langya might not dare to start a war because of righteousness.

After Zhu Xiaoxiao cried for a while, their team also walked through the enemy's ambush area, and once again accelerated their pace to the west of the city.

"Xiaoxiao, I saw that the emperor's face was good before, how can I say that I am dead?"

"There is a demon seed that sneaks into the palace, and the emperor's uncle was attacked and seriously injured, it was the day I left the palace......" Zhu Xiaoxiao sobbed, wiping her tears and replying.

"Demon Seed?" Xiao Chen was stunned suddenly, he thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Why were you ambushed and attacked as soon as you left the palace?" ”

"The ambition of the wolf son of Langya has long sold most of the people in the palace, and our every move is under his watch." Zhu Xiaoxiao said hatefully.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I see that your road is the farthest from the west of the city, how did you choose this road?" The best solution should be to go out of the city from the south or north of the city, why choose the farthest west of the city? ”

"I don't know very well, this is the path that Lord Tigano chose for us, oh, by the way, I seem to have heard the emperor's uncle say that our Zhu family's ancestral land is in the west, and our purpose is the ancestral land." Zhu Xiaoxiao said.

"Ancestral land?" Xiao Chen was stunned, but he couldn't help frowning, he said: "You all know about returning to the ancestral land, and I am afraid that King Langya will also know that he will definitely bite the ......."

"Xiao Chen, I heard Uncle Emperor say that our ancestral land has extremely terrifying defenses, as long as we return to our ancestral land, we will be safe, and this is also Uncle Emperor's last life."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and he thought quickly in his heart.

The emperors of the Jiuzhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire are all surnamed Zhu, their ancestors seem to be brothers, they are all leaders of the Ark, their so-called ancestral land, in fact, is a piece of the wreckage of the Ark, with the Ark's ability to cross the starry sky, its defense power is indeed terrifying.

Xiao Chen also knew in his heart that as long as Zhu Xiaoxiao returned to the ancestral land of the Zhu family, she would be safe, but she was afraid that she would not be safe along the way.

Not to mention that the pursuers of the victor Langya will be in hot pursuit, and people from all over the country will come like flies for the wealth of the Zhu family and to curry favor with the new emperor.

However, no matter how worried Xiao Chen was, he had no right to change Zhu Xiaoxiao's retreat plan, thinking of this, he said, "How far is the imperial capital from your ancestral land?" ”

"It's 108,000 miles, right? I don't know the specifics, but it's going to take a long time anyway. Zhu Xiaoxiao said uncertainly.

"So you're just leaving? Not even a single high-class warship? Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Uncle Emperor said that there is a warship brigade outside the city, and there can be no warships in the city, so they can only board ships outside the city." Zhu Xiaoxiao said.

"It's also ......" Xiao Chen was thinking in his heart, of course, the flight speed of the battleship was faster than running on land, but the sky was afraid that it would be focused on by the enemy, and in comparison, it would be safer to take the land route.

Xiao Chen didn't know how many back-ups the emperor had arranged, and he didn't want to make random ideas.

After talking to Zhu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Chen's mood also calmed down, and he patted Zhu Xiaoxiao's back for a while.

Suddenly, the hovercar shook violently, a cannonball exploded on the roof of the car, and the violent explosion wave shook the hovercar to the ground, but fortunately, the defense of the royal bulletproof car was strong enough, and the people sitting in it had nothing to do.

The bombing of Zhu Xiaoxiao's car seemed to be a signal, and in an instant, the front and rear of the team that had been dragging nearly two thousand meters were fiercely attacked by the enemy, especially the front and rear, and the artillery fire was overwhelming, deafening, and the flames were full of flames.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xiaoxiao was suddenly startled.

"I've stepped on the enemy's ambush circle again......" Xiao Chen said, leaning close to the glass window and looking out, in the darkness, the artillery fire was extremely conspicuous.

Under the light of the artillery fire, in the two towering buildings, there were many heads, and those royal guards avoided in a panic, and after several battles, they gradually found the feeling of fighting, and began to methodically avoid the shells and counterattack the target they found.

After all, there are not many people in the east, and they have to guard various communication arteries, so the number of people in each ambush circle is not large, and every time one is counted and eliminated, there is one less, and this kind of ambush circle can only become a harassment and delay their pace.

Seeing the buildings on both sides, Xiao Chen found that there was a minaret in front of him, and there were some wire nets and other things underneath, and he immediately recognized that it was the bracket and fixed net of the bridge.

"We've reached the river......" Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

As far as the eye could see, the battle between the enemy and us was extremely fierce, and in just a few seconds, Xiao Chen saw that dozens of people were killed, and the front and rear ends were suddenly caught in a rain of bullets, and the flames in both places burned into a sea of fire.

"Got to the river? This is the central river of the imperial capital, right? I heard that this is a leisure river for dignitaries and nobles......" Zhu Xiaoxiao leaned against Xiao Chen and looked ahead.

"A river of leisure? Hmph......" Xiao Chen couldn't help but snort coldly, the so-called river of leisure is actually like the Qinhuai River of the Song Dynasty, which is a gathering place for literati and fireworks entertainment.

"Xiao Chen, the Emperor sent a message just now, they have evacuated, and he instructed us to pass through the imperial capital as much as possible." Zhu Xiaoxiao heard the message prompt tone, looked at it and said to Xiao Chen.

"They evacuated? How did they evacuate? ”

Xiao Chen was taken aback, the reason why he was calm and calm before was because he heard Zhu Xiaoxiao tell him that there was Digano to break them off.

Now, the guards he relied on had withdrawn, and Xiao Chen immediately felt that the incident was not as simple as he imagined.

"The emperor said that he led most of the men and horses of the eight rates and nine rates to go around the city, and in order to cover our safe evacuation, he arranged for some of the soldiers of the eight rates, as well as the seven rates of reserves, to follow us along the route of our retreat......"

Zhu Xiaoxiao also felt that Tigano's behavior was inappropriate, but she didn't think as deeply as Xiao Chen, and she didn't know how much harm Digano's actions would bring to her for the time being.

Xiao Chen tried his best to control his expression, after hearing Zhu Xiaoxiao's explanation, he almost couldn't help dragging her to escape, fortunately, after many days of nonsense, his city government was more stable.

Digano's escape like this is tantamount to giving up the last line of defense to the Eastern Army, so that the Eastern Army can drive straight in, and if they move quickly, they may intercept Zhu Xiaoxiao in the imperial capital.

"No wonder the Emperor asked me to be the commander of the Guard Division, perhaps he had long expected that Tigano would not have the heart to die." Xiao Chen thought clearly.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Xiaoxiao pushed Xiao Chen, who was in a daze.

"Oh, it's okay......" Xiao Chen smiled at Zhu Xiaoxiao.

Answered, Xiao Chen suddenly paused, thinking that the rear must not be covered by troops, and now, for the sake of Zhu Xiaoxiao's safety and to continue the emperor's plan, only he stayed.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoxiao, you evacuate first, I'll stay behind......"

"What did you say?" Zhu Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and said, "I don't want you to stay, you go back to the ancestral land with me, okay?" ”

"I also want to go back to my ancestral land with you, you forgot, I am the ...... who is most afraid of death," Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Then you come with me......" Zhu Xiaoxiao said busily.

"Fool......" Xiao Chen touched Zhu Xiaoxiao's face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm right behind you." ”

"I, I'm ......" Zhu Xiaoxiao grabbed Xiao Chen's hand, as if she was afraid that the latter would suddenly disappear.

"Someone has to stop you behind, Xiaoxiao, you guys go fast in front, I'll follow soon." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"I don't, I ......," Zhu Xiaoxiao said anxiously.

"Be good, obedient, I'll catch up with you." Xiao Chen smiled slightly, brushed Zhu Xiaoxiao's hand away, looked at the other party affectionately, jumped out of the car decisively, and then closed the car door.

The eyes of the two were cut off with the car door, Xiao Chen clenched his fists, strode away, and behind the SLR glass, Zhu Xiaoxiao watched Xiao Chen go away, and ran to the rear with a few people.
