Chapter 17: Conquering the Royal City
In the dead of night, there was still silence in the royal court, Jielan thought about their actions tonight, I don't know whether they will win or lose, and I don't know whether they will live or die, because this is a battle of life and death, if their plan is revealed, then their hopes will be disappointed, after all, now their strength is weak, and it is still tricky to deal with the person who is still hidden in the night.
When the time was approaching, Jielan did not wait for the news, he couldn't wait any longer, he went out of the palace, he was ready to go to the young king, and he discussed important matters, was walking, Jielan heard a sound of fighting from the palace gate of the royal court, Jielan felt very strange, so she stopped to stay, she looked at the palace gate, only to see that the fire was shining here, and there was a sound of swords and shouts of killing.
Jielan was shocked when she heard this voice, because at this time, there was no other possibility except for the palace change. And with the outbreak of the war at the palace gate, the other maids and eunuchs in the palace panicked and began to flee in all directions, and the guards guarding the palace also continued to run towards the palace gate, and several guards who rushed from the palace gate to report saw the princess, were busy kneeling, and reported: "Please leave the princess quickly, the palace has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the last general may not be able to hold the palace, so please leave the princess quickly." ”
When Jielan heard this, she was even more shocked, she was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and hurriedly said, "Who led the soldiers to attack the royal court?" ”
The guard hesitated for a moment, but replied, "It was King Peron who led the army to attack, and shouted that as long as the princess abdicated, he could spare the lives of everyone in the royal court, and the last general swore allegiance to the king, so he was willing to protect the princess and leave." ”
Thinking of Qing Zhan, Jielan's heart became even more anxious, and asked, "Where is the young monarch, does he know about King Belon's rebellion?" ”
"Shaojun has gone to the palace gate to personally lead the war, it is the young monarch who sent the last general to take the princess and the king to avoid leaving temporarily, and then invite the princess back after driving away the thieves." The guard's words were sincere, and it was obvious that he was also a loyal servant.
Jielan didn't pay attention to his advice, only helped him up, clasped his arms with both hands, looked at him earnestly, and said: "You obey the order of the young monarch, but this palace also hopes that you can obey my order, you go to protect my mother, let her leave the palace safely, as for the palace, you don't need to pay much attention, go quickly!" Jielan had already made a decision, she was going to the palace gate to guard the royal city with the soldiers, as for whether she lived or died, she didn't care, she just hoped that her mother could be safe.
The guard was stunned for a moment, thinking how he could let the princess go, and when he was about to refute, Jielan let go of his arm and bowed to him, this action surprised him a lot, and he was stunned there at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond to Jielan, but after Jielan finished saluting, he ignored him and ran straight towards the palace gate.
The guard saw that Jielan didn't listen to his words, and insisted on going to the palace gate, wanting to catch up and stop her, but thinking that the princess had come to ask him so self-surrendered just now, he couldn't abandon the princess's trust, so he could only turn around and walk towards King Xiao's palace, hoping to protect the king from being hurt by traitors.
And Jielan ran all the way to the gate of the palace, but saw that many rebels had already attacked, and the imperial guards were killed and wounded, so I am afraid that it will not last long.
And Qing Zhan rode on top of the Pegasus, staying in the air, because his Bixuan Sword was handed over to Qiu Zhen, so he was now using the lightsaber formed by spiritual power to deal with the enemy.
And Qing Zhan rarely fights in person, this time he actually joined the battle group, it can be seen that the situation has reached a life-and-death juncture, when he saw Jielan below, his brows involuntarily wrinkled, because he hoped that even if he had to suffer from the destruction of the court, he also hoped that Jielan could live, as long as she could live, then there must be hope for the Blood Ying Kingdom, and it would not fall into the hands of traitors.
But Jielan won't leave, she summoned her spiritual power, stabbed at those rebels, one by one soldiers fell under her light blade, bright red blood stained her royal blue hair, this heroic and stubborn she was so beautiful, she knew that this was a battle to the death, no matter how strong her spiritual power was, she could not defeat the army of hundreds of thousands.
Soon she was surrounded by a large army, and King Peron, who commanded outside the palace gates, ordered: "Whoever kills Jielan will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and whoever can capture them alive will be rewarded with ten thousand gold." Therefore, these soldiers rushed towards Jielan like crazy, almost surrounding Jielan.
And in the air Qingzhan was also surrounded by countless riding beasts, there were not many soldiers of the Divine Beast Regiment left around him, only a few hundred Divine Beasts, and the rest were taken away by Split Bo to help Bai Bing catch the traitor, he originally thought that he could find out who was the usurper, and he had to get rid of the other party, but he didn't expect to fall into the other party's plan, and when a large number of his troops left the royal city, he launched an attack, if they couldn't hold out until Split Bo and they came back, I am afraid that there was only a dead end.
Jielan was besieged and couldn't find a way out more and more, and she fought with these soldiers for nearly an hour, and her spiritual power had been exhausted, and she looked at those soldiers like mountains and seas, and her heart was even heavier, as if she couldn't see hope, couldn't see the end, and couldn't see the first sun of tomorrow. And King Nabelon and Princess Nanrong sat on the standing car, watching all this in front of them with interest, watching Princess Jielan and Qingzhan Shaojun struggling to the death, he felt that it was a kind of enjoyment, a kind of happy release, he only waited for Jielan and Qingzhan to exhaust the last trace of strength, and then were plundered by these soldiers, and finally escorted them to make them kneel in front of him, begging for his forgiveness, and then calling him king in a loud voice, this is what he wants to see the most, and it is also what he has dreamed of for thirty years.
Knife by knife, Jielan's body was cut by these soldiers, blue blood flowed down, dyeing the wet floor into the color of the sky, Jielan gradually felt prostration, and the light of spiritual power in her hands slowly dimmed, she couldn't support it anymore, she really wanted to give up, but the responsibility made her feel that she couldn't, she always believed that she would definitely wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and she would definitely wait until the cracks they came back to rescue.
Qing Zhan saw that Jielan had been injured all over her body, and saw that there were five soldiers behind her waving big knives and poking at Jielan's back heart, and Jielan cared about fighting with the soldiers in front, but couldn't care about the sneak attack behind, Qing Zhan saw Jielan like this, he was shocked, and he didn't care that he was also surrounded by hundreds of riding beasts, his right palm was facing down, and suddenly a blue light flashed behind Jielan, and the light was like dozens of sharp swords, knocking these soldiers behind Jielan to the ground, thus saving Jielan's life.
However, at the moment when Qing Zhan came out to save Jielan, those beast riders who besieged him took advantage of this gap to stab at Qing Zhan fiercely, Qing Zhan was only focused on Jielan, so he didn't take precautions, only to see that he was hit by three swords, although none of them hurt the vital point, but it was enough to hurt his vitality.
Red blood flowed down from the shoulder blades and back, his body hurt as if it was torn, he raised his eyes angrily, his blue pupils emitted a faint green light, which looked terrifying, those soldiers saw such a young monarch, they actually hesitated for a moment, and Qing Zhan swung a light blade with his left hand to stab the three people who stabbed him, and at the same time, his body was a little out of strength, he fell from the heavenly horse, and the heavenly horse hurriedly rushed to absorb the Qing Zhan, and then returned to the ground.
Qing Zhan covered the wound on his shoulder blade, knelt on one knee on the ground, he was panting, obviously he had reached the limit of his body, and Jielan had also reached the limit of his body, there were not many Wangcheng soldiers left around him, and this battle was probably about to end.
Jielan saw Qing Zhan's blood all over her body and knew that he was seriously injured, so she used her last strength to force the people surrounding her away, ran to Qing Zhan's side, protected him by her side, and said, "Why are you so stupid, what are you doing to save me at this time?" ”
Qing Zhan smiled sadly, he stood up with his body bold, stretched out his right hand, and suddenly a white light flashed between his hands, and that light formed a circular enchantment, protecting him and Jielan within the enchantment. Perhaps because the enchantment consumed too much of his spiritual power, his face became even paler, he clutched his chest and coughed a few times, and only said: "Even if I die, I will die in front of you, so that I can protect you to the end, isn't it?" ”
On the occasion of life and death, hearing such a sentence, Jielan felt that even if she died, this life was worth it, she smiled at Qing Zhan, there was no despair in the smile, no pain, only happiness and touching, she stretched out her hand to hold Qing Zhan's hand, and said gently: "I don't need your protection, if we are destined to not be able to escape today's catastrophe, then we go to hell together, go to heaven or heaven, we are all together, we don't have to worry about anything, do you say this is good?" ”
Qing Zhan smiled with relief and held Jielan's hand tighter, which was regarded as a response to Jielan.
And the princess Nanrong and King Belon in the distance saw such an ambiguous scene between Jielan and Qingzhan, and they were laughing in their hearts, and King Belon scolded loudly: "The dignified princess actually openly made a private relationship with the young monarch of the 'Royal Gang Group', but it is really rare to see it in a hundred years, you who do not put the royal city decree in your eyes have already offended the wrath of the heavens, and today this king is to destroy you for the sky, so as not to let you scourge the world." After he finished speaking, he said to the soldiers, "Break their barriers, and whoever breaks their barrier will be the hero." ”
As soon as these soldiers heard this, they enthusiastically scrambled to slash the enchantment laid by Qingzhan with their swords, if it was in peacetime, the enchantment of Qingzhan would be difficult to break no matter who it was, let alone these soldiers, but now, the seriously injured Qingzhan could not even save his own life, and the enchantment was naturally very fragile, and slowly the enchantment began to thin, began to ripple, like water about to dissolve.
