Chapter 12: The Fall of the Zhu Family
The arrow in Zhu Heng's hand is the most terrifying right of a city lord, and this arrow can help him mobilize the entire city at a critical moment to kill any target. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is a special power given by the Great Chu Empire to the local city lords, which can only be used when the city is in danger of collapse.
As soon as this arrow comes out, the entire city will be used by him alone, and Zhu Heng can break through the shackles of the city lord's rights and become the sole master of the Black Iron City.
The strength of the entire city defense warrior battalion was by no means comparable to the small group of warrior battalion warriors around him.
The three thousand iron armor in the city were exhausted, plus the bow and crossbow and arrow array of five hundred people, relying on the four people of the shopkeeper Mo, let alone walking out of the Black Iron City, even if the two long streets leading directly to the city gate, they would not be able to pass through.
Facing the battalion of city defense warriors, the ironclad battle formation formed by three thousand warriors, but in an instant, they will be crushed into pulp.
"Zhu Heng, this arrow can't be released until the city breaks the crisis, are you crazy......" The shopkeeper Mo roared urgently, "Release this arrow without authorization, transfer troops and use it, you know the consequences......"
"The revenge of killing a son cannot be avenged. ”
Zhu Heng gently stroked Zhu Rong's head in his arms, and his fingers in the air were lightly clasped, and the arrow instantly let out a sharp roar and shot into the void sky.
"Die, die, I want you all to bury my son. He roared wildly.
A rumbling sound exploded over the Black Iron City, and bright sparks pierced the cover of the wind and snow, blooming the entire sky.
The warrior battalions and warriors patrolling everywhere suddenly saw the spark, and their hearts were shocked, and they quickly assembled, and under the leadership of the commanders of each team, they quickly approached Zhufu; the sound of horses' hooves cracked, and the fierce cavalry jumped out of the barracks, formed a cavalry killing formation, crossed the street, and marched towards Zhufu; the archers stationed by the city wall moved rapidly when they heard the sound, and carried bows and arrows, like a flock of eagles, swept through the rows of houses, occupying all the high ground around Zhufu......
The killing intent of the mountain rain filled the entire Black Iron City in an instant, the civilians took refuge, and all the shops quickly closed.
In just a moment, the streets along the road centered on Zhufu were completely blocked by the troops of the city defense battalion, and no one was allowed to pass.
Shopkeeper Mo took the people of Mingge to the end of the long street, but they were blocked back, retreated to a street corner, and resisted stubbornly.
"Haha......" Zhu Heng was surrounded by warriors in the warrior battalion, and instantly approached the Mo shopkeepers, laughing and laughing, "Didn't you say that you want to let my Zhu family chicken and dog not stay, what about now?"
"Ming Ge?" he said sharply with a sneer on his face, "I can kill you in an instant with an order." ”
Shopkeeper Mo looked at Zhu Heng silently, carefully looking at the surrounding environment, looking for a way out.
The streets on both sides of him were sealed off by the warrior battalion of warriors, and on the high ground on the roof, the sharp edges of Sen Leng's arrows had already locked them, and the only chance was to rush into the houses and scatter and flee.
But in this way, it is equivalent to dispersing their overall strength, and if they encounter the warrior battalion again in the escape, they will definitely die.
"Zhu Heng, if you mobilize the strength of the city defense warrior battalion in violation of regulations, even if you kill us, you won't be able to escape. Shopkeeper Mo warned angrily, "It's easy to eradicate us, but you will take the lives of all your little ones." ”
Shopkeeper Mo said as he gestured to the three subordinates around him with his eyes, asking the three to quickly protect Shu Ye and Shu Xueyi to escape from here.
The three of them were stunned, and when they saw the resolute look on Shopkeeper Mo's face, they had instantly understood what he meant, nodded, and just waited for Shopkeeper Zhu to draw Zhu Heng's attention, and then acted immediately.
"Kill you, how can the news of my illegal transfer of the warrior battalion get out?" Zhu Heng glanced around, "My Zhu family has been working here for many years, and most of the warrior battalions in the city are my Zhu Heng's people, as long as you die, I guarantee that no one will know about this matter." ”
"As for the ......investigation from within the Ming Pavilion," Zhu Heng smiled fiercely, "I just need to throw your corpses in the depths of the Beiming Snow Plain and say that you were attacked by the snow wolves on the way to the Absolute City." ”
"Haha......" he laughed maniacally, "you forced me, and now I want the entire Ming Pavilion branch to bury my son." ”
Zhu Heng roared angrily, slashed straight down along the void with his palm, and commanded sharply: "Kill these people, don't leave any of them, kill, kill ......"
His roar echoed in the air, and the warrior battalion warriors who were blocking the two ends of the street stepped in when they heard the sound, striking from both sides, preparing to charge; the archers on the roof bowed to the full moon in the blink of an eye, and the iron arrows were about to shoot out; the shopkeeper Mo stepped forward, his sharp sword blade was angry in his chest, and he was about to rush forward desperately; three men in cloth broke through the wall of the house, and were about to flee with Shu Ye......
At this time, in this imminent moment of life and death.
A dragon's roar suddenly shook the sky like a thunderbolt from the sky, interrupting the word 'kill' that came out without warning.
The hearts of the people were shaken, and they hurriedly followed the sound to look.
I saw a man in Tsing Yi Shi Ran and an old servant walking out of a simple inn on the street, and stopped at the triangle where the two streets intersected.
He coincidentally blocked everyone's movements, bringing the imminent battle to an abrupt halt in an instant.
"Who are you, you dare to stand in the way of my Zhu family. Although Zhu Heng was shocked by the roar of the man in Tsing Yi, he held a heavy army in his hand and held his own strength, but he was not afraid at all, and reprimanded angrily, "Acquaintance, get out of my way quickly, otherwise I will kill you together." ”
"Zhu Heng, you are too self-conscious. The man in Tsing Yi looked at everything around him coldly, and walked towards him lightly, "If you can stop in moderation, I may be able to spare your life, as for now, ......"
A fierce cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Privately transfer heavy troops to avenge personal revenge, even if the city lord Mu is here in person, he can't save you." ”
"You, you ......" Zhu Heng suddenly saw the face of the man in Tsing Yi, his face was like earth in an instant, his body was weak, he was paralyzed to the ground, and said in fear, "You, you...... How can you ...... in Black Iron City?"
Shopkeeper Mo saw Zhu Heng's look like seeing an evil ghost, he was surprised, gave up running away, and hurriedly looked at the man in Tsing Yi, but he was also shocked.
Shen ...... Lord Shen, you ...... Why are you here?", he asked, shocked.
When he saw the face of the man in Tsing Yi who was walking step by step, his heart was the same as Zhu Heng, and he was extremely shocked, but the difference was that Zhu Heng was frightened, and he was excited.
"Shopkeeper Mo has worked hard. The man in Tsing Yi smiled at the people in Mingge, and then fixed his gaze on Shu Ye, who was confused, "This kid ...... The one who knows how to do star arithmetic?"
"Yes, sir. Shopkeeper Mo replied respectfully.
The moment he saw the man, his tense mind relaxed, put away his long sword, called the people of the Ming Pavilion, walked in front of the man in Tsing Yi, and saluted respectfully.
"It's just that the injury is very bad, and I don't know how long it will last. He said with some concern.
"Out of the way. The man in Tsing Yi walked to Shu Ye's side, took out a purple pill from his sleeve and quickly fed it to him, checked his pulse, and said, "After eating this purple elixir, within three days, there should be no danger of life." ”
"Thank you. Shu Ye opened his eyes and replied with difficulty.
The man in Tsing Yi was shocked when he saw that Shu Ye was still conscious, and praised in surprise: "At such a young age, the willpower is so strong, it is really extraordinary." ”
"I can still hold on, but the Zhu family ......" Shu Ye looked at the warrior battalion warriors who were waiting around him, and he was still worried in his heart.
There are too few of them, even if they add the two men in Tsing Yi, it will be difficult to break through the strangulation of the iron bucket battle formation of the warrior battalion.
"Rest assured, we'll be able to leave in no time. The man in Tsing Yi smiled.
He glanced around lightly, his eyes sank, and shouted to an ironclad warrior behind Zhu Heng: "Commander Zhao, let them all retreat, I will deal with Zhu Heng's affairs." ”
The warrior glanced down at Zhu Heng, gritted his teeth in response, and quickly ordered the warrior battalion warriors surrounding the street to evacuate.
Even though he was Zhu Heng's most trusted confidant, he had no choice but to obey the man in Tsing Yi.
It's not just that the strength of the man in Tsing Yi is too terrifying, but also that unfathomable identity makes him have to be afraid.
Different from Zhu Heng, the other party is not only the refining envoy of the Elite City second only to the city lord, but also the shopkeeper of the Mingge Branch in the northern Xinjiang of the Chu State, in his hands, he has the power of life and death in the border town, if he does not comply, the man in Tsing Yi can immediately behead him to show the public.
He sighed, knowing that in today's fight, the Zhu family was defeated, defeated, but he couldn't understand why Shu Ye, a lowly civilian, would be desperately protected by Ming Ge, and even the man in Tsing Yi attached great importance to it.
The huge Zhu family, in one day, would be uprooted by a humble young man, he didn't want to believe it, and when he left, he couldn't help but look at Shu Ye a few more times curiously.
With the departure of the ironclad samurai, the warrior battalion warriors who surrounded the long street all evacuated in an instant.
Seeing the soldier battalion leaving, the man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but snort coldly, glared at Zhu Heng, who was paralyzed on the ground, and said, "Zhu Heng, what else do you have to say?"
Shen ...... Lord Shen...... You can't kill me. Zhu Heng knelt on the ground in fear, having given up any resistance, "My son Zhu Chong is the commander of the warrior battalion of the Elite City, and the disciple of the Lord of Mu City, you ...... You can't kill me......"
"Zhu Chong?" the man in Tsing Yi sneered and shouted angrily, "Do you think Zhu Chong can scare me?" ”
The fierce killing intent on his body burst out like a tide of anger, and he said sharply: "Don't say that your son Zhu Chongyuan is in the Absolute City, even if you stand here now, I will kill it." ”
"You, you ......"
Zhu Heng felt the strong killing intent on his body, and instantly fell into an ice cave, driven by his will to survive, he couldn't help but shrink back, and hurriedly fled behind him.
Shopkeeper Mo didn't expect Zhu Heng to be so afraid of death, he was disdainful, and was about to pursue, but was pulled by the man in Tsing Yi.
"Let Yan get old. The man in Tsing Yi looked at Zhu Heng, who was gradually fleeing away, his eyes were full of essence, and he instructed the old servant behind him, "Cut off his head and hang it at the head of the city, as a warning, and tell everyone that in the future, there will be people in Black Iron City who dare to do anything wrong, and this person is an example." ”
The old servant who had been following behind him bowed down in response, jumped into the air, and quickly ran in the direction of Zhu Heng's escape.
Shu Ye stared at the direction of the gate of the Zhu Mansion in the long street in the wind and snow, and knew that the Zhu family would completely disappear from the Black Iron City from this moment on, and the Zhu family who had hurt her sister would no longer exist.
"Sister, no one will hurt you again. He looked at Shu Xueyi and said hard in his heart.
Looking at the tears on her beautiful cheeks, Shu Ye tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but found that her body was terribly tired after relaxing, and her consciousness gradually became hazy, and she couldn't help but fall on Shu Xueyi in an instant.
