Chapter 212: Coercion
In the long night, the firelight reflected the city as if it were day, and the hot smoke billowed over the city, forming suspicious thick dark clouds that obscured the vast stars, and the moonlight could only cast inch after inch after inch silver light through a few gaps in the floating smoke.
Everything seemed so cold and distant.
"Your Majesty, look!"
At this time, the emperor in a black cloak stood on the top of the towering wall of the high-rise building in the inner city, and his expression looked very serious and cold.
Dugu Ao, who had a flattering face, pointed to me who was hanging in the air of the city tower, and said to the emperor, "As long as the person who attacked the city is the second prince, he will definitely not let the second princess die here, we just need to wait patiently here." ”
After listening to Dugu Ao's words, the emperor stood on the wall for a long time without making a sound, but looked at the sky with long eyes throwing stones like stars and rains in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.
Then, with a deafening loud noise, the huge stones with flames smashed down in Lianshuo City, causing a series of fires and causing the city to scream in all directions.
At such a critical juncture, I was suspended in the air of the castle tower, and if I was not careful, I was very likely to be hit by a stone throwing that did not last long, and then I might really die.
Thinking of this, I tried to move my wrists, but my hands were tightly tied together by them, and I couldn't bear the weight of my whole body, and at this moment, when I moved my wrists slightly, it was almost like tearing my hands off with a pain in my shoulders.
Dugu Ao crouched on the wall, and when he saw my appearance, he couldn't help but sneer, "Second princess, I advise you to stay honest, otherwise you won't be able to keep your two arms, not to mention, this city tower is dozens of feet high, and when you fall, there is only one way to die." ”
"Dugu Ao, you damn old thief!" I yelled angrily.
Dugu Ao didn't think so, got up and shouted to the soldiers guarding behind the emperor, "Tonight, give me a twelve-point spirit, catch the traitor, rehabilitate the country, and hold the opportunity to make contributions in your own hands!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind the emperor with feathered arrows all rushed to the city wall, and they all opened their bows and pointed in the direction where the fire was gradually spreading.
Unexpectedly, at this time, behind them, someone also aimed an arrow with a cold light at their hearts.
"Kill me!"
Before the emperor and Dugu Ao could react, the dense feathered arrows like flying locusts on the top of the city tower suddenly flew towards them with a loud shout.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dugu Ao hurriedly flew over, threw the emperor to the ground, and hurriedly grabbed the emperor's clothes and rolled under the eaves, so that the feather arrow could not take another half a step.
However, Dugu Ao's archers arranged by the city wall were not so lucky, and when the arrows were chaotic, they were all killed mercilessly.
"What the hell is going on?" Dugu Ao covered his head in horror, looked at the corpses lying on the ground, and didn't dare to breathe at all.
The emperor glanced coldly at the side, then got up expressionlessly, dusted off his body, and walked straight to the wall despite Duguao's strong resistance, Sen Han's gaze went straight to the roof.
"It's you!"
After seeing the people on the roof clearly, the emperor slightly tugged at the corners of his lips and made an expression that was not smiling.
Then he saw the long figure on the roof jump down, and the expression on his face changed to a sacrosanct look, "This is how you are so ungrateful to the benefactor who promoted you?" ”
The emperor glanced faintly at the long sword pointing at him in front of him, and his gaze gradually moved along the blade to the man holding the long sword.
Such a scene made Dugu Ao stunned for a moment, and then reacted before he shouted violently, "Shen Xiao? Why are you here? Didn't I lock you up? ”
Shen Xiao's thin lips, who were holding the long sword, rose slightly, and a touch of contempt appeared in his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, "Lord Dugu, you don't naively think that you can trap me with those few pieces under your hands, right?" ”
Dugu Ao's face moved, seeing that the emperor was coerced by him, he was indifferent.
So he stepped forward boldly and pretended to be sharp, "Thief Shen, you'd better release the emperor now, otherwise this official will definitely make you die without a corpse!" ”
"Oh?" Shen Xiao pulled his lips and smiled coldly, staring at the emperor tightly but his gaze did not deviate in the slightest.
Dugu Ao behind him swallowed his saliva violently, and cautiously moved his steps closer to Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao also didn't have the patience to entangle with this inconsequential person.
Yes, he said in a calm voice, "Kill him!" ”
Shen Xiao's words fell, and Dugu Ao immediately stopped his steps, but it was a pity that the arrow from the string never recovered.
The emperor stood directly opposite Shen Xiao, only hearing a few muffled sounds of sharp weapons piercing the flesh, and when he looked up, Dugu Ao, who was full of gray hair, had already widened his eyes, and his chest was jagged with blood-stained arrows.
Dugu Ao lowered his eyes in disbelief, watching the blood on his chest gushing out like flowing water along the arrowhead, his body could no longer support it and fell to the ground, and his painful eyes were forever darkened.
"Even the last person next to you is dead! Is this game going to continue? Shen Xiao glanced at Dugu Ao, who was lying on the ground behind him with a slight look from the corner of his eye, as if he had been stabbed into a hedgehog-like Dugu Ao, and chuckled at the corners of his lips, without any emotion in his eyes.
The emperor looked at Dugu Ao's body coldly for a moment, then turned his gaze back to stare at Shen Xiao, and said with a smile, "The dog is dead or has rebelled, and it can be raised again!" But if the country is gone, how can it be started again? ”
"Then you're not afraid of death?"
As he spoke, Shen Xiao stepped forward with the sword in his hand, causing the emperor to laugh loudly, "Do you dare to kill me?" Don't forget what you're here for today? If you are not good for me, do you think that woman downstairs will live one second longer than me? ”
"What do you mean?" Shen Xiao squinted his eyes at the emperor, trying to get the slightest clue from his face.
The emperor glanced at the wall and said with disdain, "Do you think that even your little trick can plot against me?" You might as well see with your own eyes, do you think I'm really as stupid as Dugu Ao? Will it be defenseless? ”
After saying this, Shen Xiao raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the roof.
At this time, there were about a dozen people standing on the roof, and when they saw Shen Xiao looking over, they hurriedly exchanged a note with their eyes.
After the others understood, Shen Xiao withdrew the long sword in his hand with cold eyes and strode to the wall
"Su'er!"
I was hanging in the middle of the city wall, and I was feeling a little dizzy from the loss of strength in my whole body, when suddenly I heard a hoarse voice full of pain.
"Su'er, how are you?"
The thick rope that bound my hands moved slightly above my head.
I lifted my head with difficulty, only to see that under the firelight in the distance, I was looking at me with a handsome and outstanding face on the wall, which was in deep distress at the moment, and looked a little like a dream.
"I advise you not to act rashly! Otherwise, I don't know where the arrow would pierce her body. ”
On the wall, the emperor's face showed an undisguised sinister expression.
Shen Xiao's hand that was originally holding the thick rope suddenly froze, and there was an arc of light flickering in the firelight under the city tower, and he looked at it when he saw that it was a group of soldiers with bows and arrows guarding the city tower, and the direction of the arrow was in the middle of the city tower.
"Bastard!"
Wonderful!
