Chapter 32: Surrender for You
Shangguan Hong raised his chin, half-narrowed his slender eyes, and said, "As long as His Highness is willing to lay down his weapon and follow Xiaguan back to the capital to see the Third Prince, then Xiaguan promises to send the intact Miss Du back to His Highness's side." ”
As soon as these words came out, although the volume was not loud, it was enough for the people present to hear it clearly. Yu Tianzheng hadn't said anything yet, and the people who came with him had already made a commotion, and a bearded strong man who looked like a deputy general shouted loudly: "Such crab soldiers and shrimp will not be afraid, Your Highness, you must not surrender!" The subordinates will fight to the end and swear to protect His Highness! ”
The group of soldiers behind him also shouted in high spirits: "Fight to the end!" Swear to protect Your Highness to the death! ”
A mighty and loud shout shook the entire barracks.
The directly subordinate armies under the respective commands of Yu Tianzheng and Zhan Qi are the strongest fighting armies in the entire Qiyang Kingdom, but relatively speaking, the Rui Wang army led by Yu Tianzheng is stronger than Zhan Qi's Zhan family army. There are countless fierce generals and warriors under Yu Tianzheng, and the ordinary soldiers in the Rui Wang's army have the ability to fight against several enemies, not to mention the guards trained by Yu Tianzheng himself. It was an elite soldier who was strictly screened from the elite soldiers, and after entering the battlefield, it was a group of extremely powerful and invincible killing machines, as if a heavenly soldier had descended into the world.
And the one who followed Yu Tianzheng to raid the military camp tonight, according to the intelligence received by Shangguan Hong before, was the brave and warlike guards.
Seeing that the soldiers who came with Yu Tianzheng were shouting, the soldiers on Shangguan Hong's side immediately entered a state of high alert, and the two groups of soldiers surrounding Yu Tianzheng became even more nervous.
On the other hand, on Yu Tianzheng's side, although they were surrounded, none of them showed signs of panic, not even a little bit. They have followed Yu Tianzheng from birth to death for many years, and they are used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, and it is not the first time that they have been surrounded by enemy troops, and now Shangguan Hong's encirclement to this extent is a little farce that they don't need to look at in their eyes.
Just with these tops, they can be used to show off and scare ordinary people, and they are embarrassed to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to abandon their weapons and surrender? Are you kidding? As long as His Highness gives an order, even if he Shangguan Hong gets twice as many soldiers like this, they can also destroy them all without pressure!
Yu Tianzheng's group of soldiers did not look at Shangguan Hong and the soldiers surrounding them in the slightest, and continued to shout emotionally: "Fight to the end!" Swear to protect Your Highness to the death! ”
Shangguan Hong's face changed slightly, he had heard of the prestige of the Rui King's Guard, and now he saw it with his own eyes, even if they stood there without moving, they exuded a terrifying momentum, even if they were surrounded by heavy surrounds, they were still so calm and composed, as if the people who were surrounded were not them.
Shangguan Hong's heart couldn't help but panic, but in the blink of an eye, he thought that Yu Tianzheng and the others were only about a dozen people, and the number of people was nearly ten times worse than his hundred or so elite soldiers. The soldiers who followed him to Shangguan Honglai's military camp were elite soldiers carefully cultivated by the three princes, and their combat effectiveness was also first-class. No matter how brave the Wise King's guards were, could they still kill ten times as many soldiers as them at once? Thinking of this, his confidence immediately increased and put on a posture of holding a victory ticket, looked at Yu Tianzheng, who stood still and did not say a word, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you and your soldiers have fallen into our encirclement, so don't make senseless struggles to add meaningless casualties in vain." ”
He paused, walked to the flagpole and said while untying the knot on the flagpole: "It is best to solve the problem without cutting blood, this Du girl gave up her life for the safety of Your Highness, she must not bear to see Your Highness hurt you in the slightest." But the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, maybe one careless will hurt His Highness. Miss Du will be very uncomfortable when she sees you injured, Xia Guan doesn't want Miss Du to see it in her eyes and hurt in her heart, if Your Highness you insist on going to war, then Xia Guan can only fulfill Miss Du's loyalty, and don't let her see the scene she doesn't want to see the most. ”
The knots on the flagpole have been untied. Shangguan Hong's hand holding the rope let go, and Du Xiaomeng at the top of the flagpole immediately fell straight down, so frightened that she couldn't help but scream. When she fell halfway, Shangguan Hong pulled the rope tightly.
This kind of stimulating and unsafe quasi-tense exercise scared Du Xiaomeng so much that his three souls disappeared, and his frozen body broke out in a cold sweat. At the moment when Shangguan Hong tightened the rope and stopped her from falling further, her tears poured up uncontrollably, and she had to bite her lip to hold back the tears that were about to fall out of her eyes, so as not to let herself be embarrassed and spineless to shout words begging for mercy to the despicable and shameless Shangguan Hong.
Yu Tianzheng clenched his fists hard, sank his face and looked at Shangguan Hong coldly, and said, "Let her go!" ”
Shangguan Hong handed the rope to the soldiers next to him, motioned for them to hang Du Xiaomeng back to the top of the flagpole, and then took a step forward, looked directly at Yu Tianzheng and said with a smile: "Xiaguan has long heard that His Royal Highness's bravery is invincible, and even the emperor praised you as 'the first brave general of the country'." I wonder if the brave and fierce Highness can knock down all the soldiers who stood in the way and catch Miss Du before she fell to the ground? ”
His words aroused the anger of the soldiers behind him, and they couldn't help but shout to Yu Tianzheng: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense with him!" Give the order to attack! We're going to be able to beat this bucket all over the floor! ”
Shangguan Hong finally took care of Yu Tianzheng and his group of guards, but he still pretended to be calm and calm and said in a consultative tone: "Your Highness, Miss Du's life and death are between your thoughts, whether it is war or surrender, you should think clearly." ”
"Your Highness, we are willing to fight to the death for you!" Yu Tianzheng's guards shouted in unison.
Du Xiaomeng, who was stunned, was shouted back to his soul by the deafening shouts of the guards. Without thinking too much, she shouted at Yu Tianzheng: "Your Highness, leave me alone!" ”
As she shouted these words, she saw Yu Tianzheng raise a hand and gesture to the guards behind him without looking back. Seeing his gesture, the guards, who were originally surging and eager to rush up and fight immediately, immediately quieted down.
Then, Du Xiaomeng saw Yu Tianzheng slowly raise his head to look at her, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he opened a good-looking smile with warmth to her, and said, "Xiaomeng, I will never abandon you." ”
After speaking, he untied the sword at his waist and said in a loud voice: "The guards obey the order: the whole army is disarmed and must not attack!" ”
All the guards were shocked, and after reacting, they all shouted: "Your Highness, by all means! ”
Yu Tianzheng raised his sword and let go of his hand in the sound of the guards stopping him, Du Xiaomeng's shocked gaze.
Du Xiaomeng looked at Yu Tianzheng blankly, watched the saber in his hand fall to the ground, looked at a gesture from Shangguan Hong, and watched the soldiers surrounding him rush up and hold Yu Tianzheng down and tie him up. The guards who came with him were easily arrested by Shangguan Hong because he could not do anything because of one of his military orders.
At the moment when Yu Tianzheng abandoned his sword and surrendered, Du Xiaomeng felt that the world around him darkened in an instant. Her hope is like a colorful soap bubble flying to the sun, "popping", shattered, and the little bit of scum can't be seen.
