Chapter 36: The Night of the Flames (2)

"Prince, Prince!" Huo Jun shook Zag's shoulder vigorously.

Zag couldn't hear what he was saying, and reached out and wiped a handful of his face, which was covered in blood.

A shell exploded next to him, and his head buzzed, and he didn't know anything.

"Quick-out-"

Zag read these two words from Huo Jun's mouth shape. He looked around, and the Blessing Palace had turned into a sea of fire, full of people fighting each other.

He slurred his words, "The blessed land...... No ......."

At this moment, two red-eyed forbidden soldiers rushed towards him. Prince Zag fumbled for the matching knife, only to find that it had been broken in half. Huo Jun, a powerless scholar, raised his head and shouted: "Bold! This is the prince!"

Yet language has lost its power. In the face of great panic, people will instinctively kill each other. There is no doubt that they have succumbed to instinct.

But a thin line of blood suddenly flashed on the chests of the two pro-soldiers, and they fell down one after another. Behind them is a one-armed swordsman.

Li Yan did not leave.

Huo Jun said loudly: "Li Yingying, let's kill it! As long as the prince is still there, he can gather the old department, and there is still hope for the White Tiger Fan!"

Li Yan said: "I still have nothing to do! The mud bodhisattva is the initiator of everything, I want to kill her to eliminate the harm for the world!"

"No, it's too late, do you understand?" Huo Jun pointed around: "Look at these fanatical believers, killing the Mud Bodhisattva will only make them more crazy." Then they will engulf the city like a flood, and the whole city will bury that nun!"

"Then what do you say you should do?" asked Li Yan angrily.

"I have a way for you to save the people. But the premise is to send the prince out first!"

Li Remnant helped Zag up his shoulder: "Okay, let's go." ”

Huo Jun shouted: "Niu La, where is Niu La, open the way for me!"

I saw several monks and soldiers in front of me lying down like wheat in the wind, and Niu La hugged his fists and said, "Get the order!"

He picked up the brass hammer and smashed it into the enemy in front of him. Whether it's a monk or a forbidden army. Even if it is an immortal demon, he doesn't care about it. This loyal guard only knows how to kill those who stand in his way.

When the group came to the city of Weng, seven or eight out of ten of their own soldiers had been lost, and the rest were seriously wounded.

Huo Jun said to Zag: "Lord Wang, go through the front two more doors, and we will be safe." ”

Zag couldn't speak, and nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, a crisp female voice passed through the surrounding earth-shattering shouts and entered everyone's ears.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Prince Zag was startled and looked up sharply. He saw on the opposite side of the doorway, standing Princess Silver Bell in military uniform.

It turned out that she dug out her father's whereabouts from her relatives' mouths, and she couldn't help but be enthusiastic. If he could help him do this great thing, wouldn't he be a stable name and a scholar? When people in later generations mention Princess Yinling, who wouldn't raise their big fingers and praise the heroine among women?

So Her Royal Highness the princess brought more than 20 family members to help, and just halfway through, she saw the fire in the Blessing Palace and heard the earth-shattering sound of cannons.

This is war, not a game. Her ambition vanished in an instant, and she wanted to turn around and run away, but she was really worried about her father, so she broke into the palace.

Luckily, the gates were wide open, and everyone was too busy fighting to deal with her. The princess went two checkpoints and saw her father through the doorway.

When Prince Gengen saw his daughter, he didn't know where to get his strength out of nowhere, and shouted, "Stand still...... Don't come here......"

However, Princess Silver Bell didn't hear it at all. Like any wronged girl in the world, she ran to her father with tears in her eyes.

The prince shook off Li Yan's arm and ran to his daughter.

Just as they were all under the doorway, they heard a loud bang, a cannonball hitting the city wall, and a boulder crashing down.

Princess Yinling didn't react at all, although the prince had a hunch, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

But at this moment, I saw a figure flying in, holding the stone with one arm. It was Li Remnant.

The veins on his head bulged, his body trembled slightly, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: "Quick...... Let's go......"

The boulder was held up by him, maintaining a delicate balance, swaying gently from side to side. The slightest mistake will kill one of them.

However, neither father nor daughter could move.

Prince Zag was already seriously injured, and the running just now exhausted all his strength, and a pair of legs seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds. And Princess Yinling was hit by the rubble in her waist, and the beads of sweat like soybeans were dripping, and she couldn't stand up at all.

Dense beads of sweat oozed from Li Yan's forehead: "I...... I can't stand it!"

The princess suddenly shouted: "Little cripple, push me to my side, let my father live!

At this time, I saw Prince Genji smile pitifully, and said to the princess: "Child, take care of yourself. ”

Then he used his last strength to pull Li Yan's arm in his direction. The boulder collapsed, and Prince Zag rested there.

"No, Daddy!"

The princess cried hoarsely, and Li Wanyi grabbed her by the waist and dragged her out of the door.

The princess slapped him on the back desperately: "You murderer, why don't you listen to me?

"Shut up!" Li grabbed her by the collar. "Your father died to save you, if you still have a little conscience, you have to live well!"

Tears suddenly welled up in Li Yan's eyes: "I...... How I wish I had a father like that!"

He turned his head to Huo Jun and Niu La, who were also in tears, and said, "You see, the prince died to save his family. What are you going to do? Leave, or do you want to remain loyal to his daughter?"

The two of them replied with action, one to the left and the other to the right, to help the weeping princess.

They were finally able to escape from the palace.

Li Yan asked, "Sir Huo, tell me how to save the people." You promised me!"

"That's right, Prince Zag......" Huo Jun choked up suddenly. "Prince Zag does what he says, and his subordinates are no exception! I tell you, the mud bodhisattva skillfully exploits people's psychology. The root of this catastrophe lies in the redcoat cannons. She bombarded the Blessed Palace, sowing fear in the hearts of the people, who began to kill each other after being dominated by fear.

So to save people, you have to destroy all the artillery!"

"But where is the cannon?"

"You can see it when you climb the wall!"

Li Remnant jumped onto the city wall in twos. He looked down, and the city was already full of shouts and screams, and the artillery fire was extinguished in the darkness.

Huo Jun said loudly: "According to my calculations, the firing range of these cannons is very limited, only between three hundred and five hundred steps. This circular area is the target of your search!"

Li Yan said: "Mr. Huo, I am not familiar with the road. You and I together, Niu La and the princess, let's deal with these artillerymen separately!"

Huo Jun said: "No! the princess must no longer risk her life!"

Li Yan said: "Don't you want to pacify the world? If you don't even want to save the people of a city, what qualifications do you have to say such things?"

At this time, Princess Yinling had already stopped her tears and said to Huo Jun: "Mr. Huo, this Han is right. Our White Tiger Warriors must not be looked down upon by him......! I can't disgrace my father either!"

At the same time, the mud bodhisattva standing in the middle of the ruins suddenly shivered. She looked into the distance and saw a young man with a broken arm standing at the head of the city, a radiant white star shining overhead.

She even trembled in her voice: "Bai Yaoxing, you demon...... You've appeared, you've finally appeared, and I'm not going to let you get in the way of my plans!"

She suddenly shouted hysterically, "Kill him!"

There were only whispers of demons in the scorching wind, but no one answered.

The mud bodhisattva's delicate face became hideous, and she took out a demon-slaying pestle from her sleeve: "Okay, then let me do it myself......!

But before she could finish speaking, a cannonball exploded, and the collapsed bricks blocked her way.
