The city gate.
Wuyangyang's army was arranged neatly, and the leader, King Hui, looked up at the city gate with longing in his eyes.
After many years, it is finally coming back.
Moreover, he will no longer be forced to leave in the future, he will become the king of this imperial city.
With hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, no one can stop him.
He raised his hand and ordered with a smile on his face: "Destroy the city."
After a while, his face stiffened.
He turned around, looked at the army general Jiang Ze on the left rear and repeated, "Destroy the city!"
For a long time, Jiang Ze remained indifferent and did not respond.
"Jiang Ze!"
King Hui called his name, and he looked back and said to him: "So His Highness told us to wait for the siege? I thought Your Highness was talking to General Han. No, the last general forgot, General Han led We led one hundred thousand troops to the western suburbs camp to contain the one hundred thousand city guard troops in the capital that month. However, the general and others did not receive the order to attack the city, so I will not be able to obey the order."
"Excuse me and obey my order? Whose order are you obeying?!"
"The general will be Miss Shen, Shen Zhixi will be responsible for Boss Shen's life."
"How outrageous!" King Hui's face turned blue. He didn't expect that something like this would happen. "You are my king's soldiers, soldiers raised by me. You should obey my king's actions. You are so big..."
"Who raises our soldiers? Your Highness should know better than us. Your Highness, a vassal king, can only have an army of one hundred thousand. How did the extra two hundred thousand private soldiers come from? Your Highness should know best." Yes. Maybe, we may have indeed invested in the military camp of His Highness King Hui, but the money that has supported the army for so many years was provided by Boss Shen. Of course, this is not enough to make us betray His Highness and become loyal to Boss Shen. "
Jiang Ze took a deep breath, his eyes extremely firm.
"We are not from the regular army. Most of us are beggars, or we can't survive anymore, or we have family difficulties and want to earn some military pay to support our families, or we have escaped from disasters elsewhere. Yes. His Royal Highness King Hui uses other people's money to support the army. He doesn't have to pay for it himself and naturally doesn't have to worry about many things. At most, he comes to the military camp occasionally to say a few words and issue military orders. You just want us to do things for you, but you never do. Consider the family matters that concern us most as soldiers."
"The year before last, my mother was seriously ill and almost died. We are an army that is secret and cannot be discovered. Once it is leaked, King Hui will be accused of treason. Therefore, we people can only stay here all year round. In the camp, we couldn’t even communicate with the outside world through letters. I only found out after I finally returned home a year ago that I almost couldn’t see my mother. After questioning, I found out that it was the Shen family who sent someone to send money to pay for my mother. The doctor treated her."
"Not just me, but also Wang Er. Her wife lived alone in the village with her young son. She was almost forced to commit suicide by the local bullies. It was the Shen family who sent someone to settle the matter. It's not just me, it's not just Wang Er, There are many people in the army who have been favored by Boss Shen. Even our family members can go to any Shen family shop in the south to seek help no matter what happens."
Jiang Ze looked back at King Hui and asked nonchalantly: "Does King Hui not know or bother to know these things?"
"We are not regular soldiers to begin with. We don't understand military discipline and orders. We only know that we join the army to live a better life for ourselves and our families. So... His Highness Prince Hui should understand what I mean, right?"
"Do you dare?!" King Hui looked livid and roared at him.
He laughed lowly and did not pay attention to King Hui's roar.
"We've already done everything. Do you think King Hui dares us?" He looked back at the army behind him, raised his eyebrows and said to King Hui: "But that's right, with so many people missing thirty-five thousand, Your Highness should I can’t even count them. Didn’t His Highness notice that Liu Ming was missing?”
"Didn't he take someone to inspect the nearby area for abnormality?"
King Hui stared at him as if he wanted to eat someone.
Jiang Ze curled his lips again and continued to say heartbrokenly: "Even if it's been patrolling for a long time, it's time to come back. He led 50,000 elite soldiers into the city through the secret passage. I'm afraid they have all entered by now." We have arrived at the palace. By the way, Liu Ming is also following Boss Shen’s orders.”
As he finished speaking, a strong sound of horse hooves suddenly struck from the east.
Following the sound, I saw that it was the Song family's army that was rushing towards them, led by the old general of Song Dynasty, Song Yijue.
Seeing him, King Hui was completely heartbroken.
Just say it's over.
It's all over.
*
The entrance to the palace.
Shen Zhixi, who was wearing a Taoist robe, had just arrived here from the secret passage into the city, and Song Lianzhou and others happened to come out of it.
He was carrying someone on his shoulders, the sleeping third prince.
Seeing this, Shen Zhixi finally felt at ease, proving that everything in the palace had been resolved.
Song Lianzhou is fine, his sister who is following him is fine, and his escort Wei Hong is fine too.
The two looked at each other, with each other's eyes filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
It is especially gratifying to see the one you love alive and well.
Suddenly, Shen Zhixi recalled what he had said to Song Lianzhou before, "I will marry you when everything is over."
Song Lianzhou in front seemed to be the same.
The two of them had the same tacit understanding in their eyes. Song Lianzhou looked at Shen Zhixi with a smile in his eyes, as if asking her whether her previous promise to marry him still counted.
Song Qingyu walked to Song Lianzhou and motioned to give her the child so that Song Lianzhou and Shen Zhixi could have a good talk.
Shen Zhixi was also approaching step by step. She wanted to hug him and then tell him for sure that she was willing to marry him.
The third prince is not young at all. He is already a young adult at the age of thirteen. He is also heavy and is very drugged. He needs to be put down carefully. Wei Hong also comes to help and prepares to take over and hold the third prince, fearing that Song Qingyu will not be able to support him. Can't live.
Everyone's attention was on the third prince, so only Shen Zhixi saw the arrow shot towards Song Lianzhou from the palace wall.
Subconsciously, she pushed Song Lianzhou away with force.
In this way, the arrow naturally reached her body.
She immediately felt dizzy from the pain, and saw many people rushing over to subdue the person who fired the arrow. Song Lianzhou's eyes in front of her were so red that she was about to cry.
"You little blind man, please stop crying so much, okay?"
She grabbed Song Lianzhou's lapel. She was in pain but didn't want to cry.
"Lily of the Valley..."
"I will never come to Yanzhou again. I was hit by two arrows here just a short time ago. It hurts me to death."
"Suzuland, why did you..."
"Why, I said, you can only be bullied by me, others...can't bully you." As she spoke, she fell down.
Song Lianzhou supported her and knelt down with him.
He wasn't afraid of such a dangerous situation just now, but now he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating.
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Zhixi touched Song Lianzhou's face, and his tone became weak, "Fortunately, you're okay. I don't want to see you covered in blood like you did back then. Tang Zhou, this time I didn't I lied to you, everything I promised you was true."
"I know I know."
Song Lianzhou stood up again and picked her up.
"There is a medical center across the street. It's a little closer than the Imperial Palace Hospital. I'll take you there right away. Just hold on, and I'll take you there right away."
Shen Zhixi's vision was so blurred that she couldn't see clearly. She could only feel wet tears dripping down her cheeks.
"Stop crying. Isn't it okay if I don't abandon you?"
