Princess Consort Chu

She, the prime minister’s daughter, was timid and cowardly. Because her engagement fell through, and her reputation was ruined, she was pressured to spill her own blood in the palace hall! Once again ...

Chapter 386: Finale (Part 1) (4)

He looked back towards the city gate, only to see that the Sea King's army that had rushed into the city earlier was gradually losing ground. He couldn't help but frown...

Inside the inn's room.

Mu Chun saw Yun Qianmeng closing her eyes tightly and looking even worse. She was anxious as to why Qiao Ying hadn't come back yet.

After tucking in the quilt for Yun Qianmeng, Mu Chun quietly left the inner room. He heard a commotion outside, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly asked the secret guards outside, "What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"

"Jincheng has been breached, and the Sea King's army is now burning, killing and looting. I'm afraid they will come to this inn soon. Should we take the princess and hide first?" The secret guard was about to go in to report the matter, but when he saw Mu Chun coming out, he immediately told the story in brief.

"What?" Mu Chun was shocked, his eyes filled with panic, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Jincheng was actually conquered by the Sea King?"

"The prince is blocked outside the city by the Sea King's army. We must take the princess to hide first. Otherwise, if the princess is caught by the Sea King, the consequences will be disastrous." The secret guard was also anxious and hurriedly asked Mu Chun to help Yun Qianmeng out.

Mu Chun only felt darkness in front of his eyes. He tried hard to accept this fact, but he did not listen to the secret guard and turned back to the house.

Turning her head to look at the quiet inner room, Mu Chun was very worried whether Yun Qianmeng's body could withstand another journey. If an accident happened on the way, she would not be able to apologize even if she died.

Unexpectedly, the Sea King's army was extremely fast. Just as Mu Chun was hesitating whether to wake Yun Qianmeng at this moment, a small group of Sea King's army rushed into the inn with weapons in hand...

"Go in quickly." The secret guard pushed Mu Chun into the room with one hand, and he and the secret guard hiding in the dark drew out the long swords they carried with them and attacked the Sea King's army that broke in.

Chu Feiyang's secret guards were highly skilled in martial arts, and the Sea King's Army was no match for them. Those Sea King's Army soldiers who couldn't defeat them ran out of the inn, and in less than half a cup of tea, they attracted more Sea King's Army soldiers.

Hundreds of Sea King soldiers surrounded dozens of secret guards, while more than a dozen archers aimed their bows and arrows at the wing where Yun Qianmeng lived, actually firing rockets into the wing...

In an instant, the room was hit by rockets everywhere, and even the curtains were covered with arrows. The small torches tied to the arrow shafts instantly caught fire when they touched cotton and other items.

Yun Qianmeng had already opened her eyes and saw that the bed she was lying on was already engulfed in flames. She made a move to sit up.

"Princess, be careful." Seeing Yun Qianmeng struggling to get up, Mu Chun quickly stepped forward and helped Yun Qianmeng sit up slowly.

"Hurry, help me out. If this roof beam collapses, we will both die in the sea of ​​fire." Yun Qianmeng endured the pain in her abdomen, tightly grasped Mu Chun's hands with her right hand to support her body, and walked out step by step.

'Swish, swish, swish...' But the arrows were still shot in mercilessly.

Yun Qianmeng realized that she was walking too slowly, and the inner room was still some distance away from the outer room. She glanced around the messy inner room and asked Mu Chun to help her to the table. She hurriedly said, "Take the round plate off the table and use it to block your way."

After saying this, without waiting for Mu Chun to take action, Yun Qianmeng released Mu Chun's hand, tore off the tablecloth with one hand, and lifted the heavy round board with great effort.

Mu Chun immediately reached out to help. The two of them lifted the round board with great effort, held it in front of them, and turned it as they walked towards the door.

Mu Chun accidentally lowered his head and found that blood was dripping wherever Yun Qianmeng passed. Mu Chun's heart suddenly shook, and a bad premonition suddenly surged into his mind.

Yun Qianmeng gritted her teeth and walked out. Her stomach hurt even more than before, and there was even a slight feeling of weight falling. Her whole body was weak and powerless. If it weren't for her strong will to survive, she would have collapsed to the ground by now. Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and beads of sweat from her forehead dripped into her clothes. Yun Qianmeng bit her lower lip tightly and took a step towards the door...

"Bang, bang, bang..." At this moment, a series of arrows hit the rotating round plates in the hands of the two men. The huge impact caused them to fall to the ground at the same time.

The Sea King's army, upon hearing the noise, seemed to have found their target. They actually concentrated their forces and shot arrows towards the circular plate. In just a blink of an eye, the circular plate was filled with arrows.

"Princess, be careful..." Seeing that the round board was about to hit Yun Qianmeng, Mu Chun rushed forward without thinking and protected Yun Qianmeng under his body.

"Bang..." The round board smashed into Mu Chun's back with a resounding thud, but Mu Chun propped herself up with her arms to shield Yun Qianmeng from harm. She gritted her teeth and persevered, her snow-white face dripping with sweat, a trace of pain spreading from her brow.

Seeing this, Yun Qianmeng knew that Mu Chun must have been injured. She ignored the pain in her stomach and quickly tried to stand up, but she didn't expect to hear the sound of a broken wall...

"Princess, be careful, get down..." Mu Chun once again protected Yun Qianmeng under his body.

At the same time, the beams on the roof suddenly broke and fell down...

"Ah..." The red-hot beam hit Mu Chun's back hard, and sporadic sparks splashed on Mu Chun's skin. The pain made Mu Chun scream loudly, but he always held up a space for Yun Qianmeng, and was careful not to let his body touch Yun Qianmeng's belly.

But what was even more terrible was that after the beam hit Mu Chun's back, it rolled down along Mu Chun's back and hit Mu Chun's legs again as he was kneeling on the ground.

A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard, and Mu Chun nearly fainted from the pain. Cold sweat immediately dripped onto Yun Qianmeng's clothes. However, Mu Chun supported himself on the ground with trembling arms, holding his body up, dragging his broken legs to create a safe space for Yun Qianmeng, and resolutely not letting Yun Qianmeng suffer the slightest bit of pressure.

"Mu Chun..." No matter how calm Yun Qianmeng had been in the past, now that she saw her girl suffering such great pain for her, her face suddenly changed, and heartache suddenly surged in her heart. She immediately reached out to support Mu Chun's trembling body in pain, and without hesitation, she used her hand to directly push away the beam on Mu Chun's back.

With a 'hiss...', Yun Qianmeng's fingers touched the blazing heat of the beam, instantly producing a scalding sound. However, Yun Qianmeng seemed completely oblivious to the pain, pushing the beam aside without blinking. Immediately, Yun Qianmeng supported herself on the ground and stood up. Crouching, she laboriously dragged Mu Chun's unable body, struggling to walk, towards the door amidst the stream of arrows...

"Princess... your... hand... Princess... please leave now... leave me alone... my worthless life... is not worth your treatment..." Mu Chun's body trembled like an autumn leaf, as if she had been pulled from the water. But when she saw that the princess had disregarded her own pain to save her, her heart was filled with emotion. Looking down at Yun Qianmeng's burned and bleeding hands, Mu Chun felt even more ashamed. Caring for and protecting the princess was her duty, but now it was the princess who saved her.

Seeing Yun Qianmeng half-bent over with her belly bulging, Mu Chun struggled to pull her hands and drag her step by step towards the door. Tears welled up in Mu Chun's eyes. She bit her lower lip with her snow-white teeth, suddenly loosened her hands, and pushed Yun Qianmeng towards the door with all her strength, shouting, "Princess, please leave quickly and leave me alone... It is a blessing for me to serve you. Please leave quickly, or it will be too late..."

There were crackling sounds everywhere, and the whole house was like a fireball, with burning furnishings everywhere. The scorching heat made people sweat profusely, and the several beams on the roof were already in danger. If they didn't leave, Yun Qianmeng was afraid that she would also be buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Yun Qianmeng stumbled and raised her head to look at Mu Chun with a serious expression, her eyes filled with anger. She held Mu Chun's hand again. Even through the thick black smoke, she could still see the determination in her eyes. "We still have some distance to go. We must get out alive."

Yun Qianmeng's persistence made the tears in Mu Chun's eyes burst out instantly. His loosened hand gradually tightened around Yun Qianmeng's. Mu Chun even held his breath and cooperated with Yun Qianmeng to crawl out the door...

With a loud bang, the outer beam suddenly collapsed...

The collapse of the main beam instantly triggered a series of reactions. Some small supporting wooden pillars nearby also quickly fell down in the fire, blocking Yun Qianmeng and Mu Chun's way out.

"Princess... please don't worry about me... cough cough cough..." Mu Chun lay on the ground coughing violently as the thick smoke entered her lungs. However, because Yun Qianmeng was pregnant, she did not dare to reach out to push her away from her side. She could only shout anxiously.

Yun Qianmeng saw that the exit in front was blocked, and hurriedly pulled Mu Chun to a safer place. Before she could say anything, thick smoke rushed into her mouth and nose, choking her and making her face full of tears. She could no longer see clearly what was in front of her.

Standing beside Mu Chun, Yun Qianmeng felt her stomach aching more and more. She could feel the dampness under her skirt, and the smell of blood gradually reached her nose. Yun Qianmeng tightly protected her abdomen with both hands, but her body slowly slid down to the ground uncontrollably.

Watching the increasing amount of black smoke before her eyes, Yun Qianmeng felt that breathing was becoming increasingly difficult. Her face turned pale and sweat covered her forehead. The sound of Mu Chun's cries beside her seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her...

With a 'bang...', the door was kicked open forcefully. Amidst a cloud of black smoke, Yun Qianmeng's half-closed eyes saw a figure covered in blood swiftly walking towards him...

A faint fragrance drifted into her nose. Without the smell of burnt black smoke or blood and killing, Yun Qianmeng fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a clean room.

Her body was still extremely weak, and her abdomen still ached slightly, though it was much less severe than before. Yun Qianmeng hurriedly reached out her hands to touch her abdomen, until she felt it still bulging. Finally, her heart settled down. She supported her stomach and slowly sat up, her mind slowly recalling everything that had happened before she fainted...

With a creaky sound, the tightly closed door was pushed open and Chu Feiyang walked in dressed in black.

Seeing Yun Qianmeng had woken up and was sitting on the bedside, Chu Feiyang's steps quickened. In the blink of an eye, he was at the bedside and placed the porcelain cup on the round stool beside the bed. Chu Feiyang sat on the bedside, gazing at Yun Qianmeng with eyes full of heartache, and gently touching her pale face with his warm palm...

"Fei Yang..." Yun Qianmeng called his name softly in a hoarse voice. A layer of mist appeared in her eyes. She stared deeply at her husband whom she hadn't seen for several months. For a moment, she was speechless with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. There seemed to be a sour feeling in her throat, making her unable to utter any other words.

"Meng'er..." Chu Feiyang quickly approached Yun Qianmeng and took the person in front of him who made him worry about her into his arms. Only after he held her in his arms and felt her warmth did Chu Feiyang let go of the heart that had been weighing on his mind for several months. A hint of satisfaction could not help but overflow from his mouth, but his tone was still heavy.

"You're here." With a slight sob, Yun Qianmeng gently placed her head on Chu Feiyang's shoulders, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly, blooming a reassuring smile. The tears in her eyes slowly slid down her face and fell into Chu Feiyang's clothes with this action.

The slightly scalding tears burned his heart, and the arm around her waist tightened slightly. Chu Feiyang pressed his cheek tightly against Yun Qianmeng's forehead and said in a low voice, "I'm here. Meng'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Yun Qianmeng raised her hands, wanting to touch his slightly prickly jaw, but she found them already wrapped in layers of white gauze, making the movement seem awkward. But the longing in her heart surged so violently that Yun Qianmeng insisted on holding up the handsome face she hadn't seen for months, slowly tracing the curve of his face upwards, carefully tracing its contours.

At the same time, Yun Qianmeng carefully sat up and looked Chu Feiyang over carefully. Seeing that although he had changed out of his armor, he hadn't had time to wash up, and his body was still stained with a strong smell of blood, Yun Qianmeng's heart suddenly ached. She frowned slightly and said with a hint of blame in her tone, "Why don't you take good care of yourself? Let me see if you are injured!"

After he finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng was about to lift up his black robe to check for injuries...

Chu Feiyang took advantage of the situation and held her hand, pressing it against his lips. He showered her with kisses through the gauze, sniffing the delicate fragrance from her fingertips. A sense of satisfaction rose in his heart, and after a while he spoke, "It's all my fault for putting you in such danger. If I hadn't been so overconfident, if I hadn't been so reassured, you wouldn't have nearly perished in the fire. Meng'er, do you know how much I felt when I saw you fainting in the fire that even killing myself wouldn't be enough to quench my hatred."

Yun Qianmeng responded by holding his hand and gently placing it flat on her abdomen. She said in a clear voice, "I won't let anything happen to myself, and I won't allow anything to happen to our child. Feiyang, don't blame yourself. You're human, not a god. What you've calculated, Hai Quan and Jiang Muchen can also think of. It's already quite difficult for you to protect me to this point. I believe that no matter what danger I face, you will come to save me. This is the belief that has kept me in Jincheng for nearly a month."

A warm breeze blew across her face, and Yun Qianmeng was once again embraced by Chu Feiyang. All she could hear was his whispers, "Meng'er... Meng'er..."

Every sentence he said was about Yun Qianmeng's maiden name, and every word brought out the name that was engraved in his heart.

Thinking of the decision he made in the military camp, Chu Feiyang stretched out his hands to support Yun Qianmeng's shoulders. Chu Feiyang asked with an extremely serious expression: "Meng'er, do you still believe in me?"

Yun Qianmeng seemed to have realized that things were heading in a certain direction. Although she was reluctant, she nodded firmly and said without hesitation, "Let me know."

Hearing Yun Qianmeng's answer, Chu Feiyang's beautiful face lifted a faint smile. Although his eyes were filled with extreme fatigue, his smile was relaxed. He gently stroked Yun Qianmeng's belly with one hand and her thin face with the other. He spoke in a low voice with a tone of caution, "I have asked Qiao Ying to prepare everything. You should leave immediately and follow Qi Jingyuan to Northern Qi."

Even though Yun Qianmeng was mentally prepared, when she heard Chu Feiyang say that, her clear pupils instantly widened and she stared at Chu Feiyang without blinking. Her stomach suddenly felt a slight pain, and her face turned pale. She subconsciously protected the child in her belly with both hands that she had managed to save with great difficulty.

"Meng'er, does it hurt?" Chu Feiyang saw a thin layer of sweat on the tip of Yun Qianmeng's nose, and knew that she was very weak at the moment. If the fetus was disturbed again, both mother and child would be in danger.

An unprecedented sense of helplessness and tension instantly hit Chu Feiyang's heart. He instinctively opened his arms and tightly wrapped them around Yun Qianmeng's body, with his hands gently resting on her bulging belly. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Chu Feiyang's forehead, and the panic in his eyes was rare to see in a century. One couldn't help but wonder if this person was really Chu Feiyang?

Yun Qianmeng was also a little worried. After all, she had just experienced a life-and-death ordeal. Being able to save this child was truly a blessing from God, but it also made Yun Qianmeng even more cautious.

When the pain in her abdomen subsided, Yun Qianmeng breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at Chu Feiyang, and seeing his worried gaze fixed on her belly, she chuckled softly, "I'm afraid the baby couldn't bear to be separated from you, so it kicked me. This child must be incredibly lucky. After all this hardship, he's still so energetic. I'm afraid we'll have a headache in the future."

Hearing the soothing tone in Yun Qianmeng's words, the tension in Chu Feiyang's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by the gentle gaze of a loving father. He and Yun Qianmeng stared at her bulging belly together and jokingly said, "Yes, I'm afraid he's a troublemaker. However, no matter what kind of child he is, I will love him with my life!"

As he spoke, Chu Feiyang placed his palm gently against Yun Qianmeng's belly, as if he wanted to have a deep communication with the baby.

After all, Chu Feiyang had been leading his troops on the marches since Yun Qianmeng became pregnant. Now that the child was already so old, he, as a father, hadn't spent a few days with his child. This had become a regret in Chu Feiyang's heart. Therefore, he tried hard to make Yun Qianmeng spend time with the child in the limited time he had.

Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng chuckled softly, then looked up at Chu Feiyang and asked with concern, "Where is Qiao Ying at this time? She went to the clinic alone to see a doctor. The road was so chaotic, it was really worrying."

Chu Feiyang held her in his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder, and then he said softly, "Qiao Ying encountered a poisoned assassin on the road. In order to avoid exposing your hiding place, she led the assassins to the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, realizing that there were many secret guards hiding there, and she narrowly escaped the disaster. She is currently accompanying Mu Chun."

"How is Mu Chun?" Recalling the scene where Mu Chun risked his life to save her, Yun Qianmeng's face instantly showed a nervous look. The little hand wrapped in gauze subconsciously held Chu Feiyang's, and she stared at Chu Feiyang with eyes wide open and full of worry.

"Mu Chun is seriously injured and is still in critical condition. Yingxia and Qiao Ying are taking care of her now." Chu Feiyang held Yun Qianmeng's small hand with his backhand. Looking at the pair of slender hands that were once covered with scars, he felt indescribable pain in his heart.

"What's the situation outside now? Where are King Neptune and King Chen?" Taking advantage of the remaining time, Yun Qianmeng immediately asked the question in her mind.

Seeing a hint of urgency between Yun Qianmeng's eyebrows, Chu Feiyang kissed her hair lightly and answered her question softly, "Jiang Muchen and I have reached a temporary agreement to jointly fight against Hai Quan. Just now outside the city, the Chen Wang Army and the Chu Wang Army have detained the remaining 400,000 troops of the Hai Wang Army. Hai Quan originally thought that he could use you to make Jiang Muchen and me hostile forever, but I'm afraid he never dreamed that there would be a day when Jiang Muchen and I would join forces. But Hai Quan is extremely cunning. We originally planned to catch him in a trap, but he was able to lead the remaining subordinates to escape under such circumstances. Meng'er, you are pregnant now, and Mu Chun is seriously injured. I plan to let her go to Northern Qi with you. Leave the affairs of Western Chu to me. When you go to Northern Qi, just take good care of yourself and remember not to think too much, understand?"

Yun Qianmeng listened attentively to Chu Feiyang's explanation, her half-closed eyes filled with a thoughtful glint. After pondering for a long while, Yun Qianmeng raised her head and gently reminded him, "I will take good care of myself, and you too."

Chu Feiyang tightened his arms slightly, holding Yun Qianmeng close to his heartbeat. His hands were pressed against her belly, and he stared at her bulging abdomen with loving eyes. He said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely rush to Northern Qi before you give birth. With Miss Rong here, I believe you won't be too lonely. Meng'er, I'm sorry for wronging you. At times like this, I should be the one guarding you."

How could Yun Qianmeng not sense the guilt between Chu Feiyang's words? However, the situation in Western Chu was such that Chu Feiyang had no other choice. How could she selfishly ask him to leave with her and ignore the people of Western Chu?

Gently shaking her head, Yun Qianmeng's pale lips curled up slightly, and she leaned contentedly into Chu Feiyang's arms, whispering, "The child and I will wait for you to come back and pick us up."

This was Yun Qianmeng's promise to Chu Feiyang, but it was also Chu Feiyang's promise to Yun Qianmeng.

"Sure." It was a firm answer, but it foreshadowed the imminent separation of the two.

Nodding cautiously to Yun Qianmeng, Chu Feiyang turned to look at the window. Seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting darker, he immediately ordered Xi Lin, who was guarding the door, "Bring the carriage over here."

"Yes, Your Highness." After hearing Chu Feiyang's order, Xi Lin nodded slightly outside the door and immediately turned and left.

Chu Feiyang picked up the porcelain cup, opened the lid, and fed Yun Qianmeng spoonful by spoonful, "This is medicine to maintain pregnancy. I have instructed Qiao Ying to boil it for you three times a day. Don't miss any."

Yun Qianmeng opened her mouth and took a sip of the slightly bitter medicine. Her nose felt slightly sour, but she nodded obediently.

After the bowl of medicine was finished, Chu Feiyang stretched out his hands and picked up Yun Qianmeng along with the quilt covering her. However, he did not walk out of the room immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and stared at the stunning face in his arms.

Yun Qianmeng also raised her head reluctantly, her hands tightly wrapped around his neck, unwilling to let go. Her beautiful eyes looked back at Chu Feiyang's affectionate black eyes, and for a while, neither of them spoke again.

He slowly lowered his head, and lightly pressed his thin lips against the pale lips. Chu Feiyang whispered, "Meng'er, wait for me to come back."

Her chest was filled with tears, her mouth was bitter, but she wore a faint smile that didn't make him worry. Yun Qianmeng pursed her lips tightly, took out the Danshu Tiequan from her bosom and placed it in Chu Feiyang's arms, and replied softly, "Yes."

A trace of pain flashed across Chu Feiyang's eyes, but he immediately covered it with a smile. He raised his thin lips in a faint smile and carefully carried Yun Qianmeng out of the room.

What surprised Yun Qianmeng was that she could actually see Rong Yunhe in Jincheng...

A faint smile appeared on her pale and frail face as she saw an old acquaintance. However, when she noticed Rong Yunhe's left arm hanging across his chest, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but ask with concern, "How did you get hurt?"

Rong Yunhe hadn't expected to see Yun Qianmeng in such a situation. Seeing her pale as paper, weak as a sheet, nestled in Chu Feiyang's arms, a trace of heartache flashed across Rong Yunhe's eyes, but he answered Yun Qianmeng's question with a faint smile, "I accidentally fell. It's freezing in the north, and the ground freezes easily. I accidentally broke my arm, but it's nothing serious."

"I will feel more at ease knowing that Master Rong is accompanying me along the way." Chu Feiyang looked at Rong Yunhe and spoke to Yun Qianmeng, with complete trust in his eyes.

After receiving Chu Feiyang's gaze, Rong Yunhe nodded to the two people in front of him, then quickly walked to the front and back of the convoy, sat on the horse with one hand holding the saddle, and waited for Yun Qianmeng to be ready before setting off.

Chu Feiyang placed Yun Qianmeng in a carriage covered with rabbit fur. After covering her with a blanket lovingly, he immediately got out of the carriage and ordered Qiao Ying to lead the secret guards to leave Jincheng with Qi Jingyuan.

The wheels slowly began to roll, and Yun Qianmeng didn't lift the curtain to look back. They had each other's voice and appearance etched in their hearts, so why bother about this brief separation? With tears welling in her eyes, Yun Qianmeng slowly closed them, trying not to let them overflow, but a faint smile bloomed on her face, like a blue lotus.

"Where is Hai Quan?" Until he could no longer see the carriage, Chu Feiyang's eyes suddenly became gloomy and he asked Xi Lin in a cold voice.

When he first entered Jincheng, he was too concerned about Yun Qianmeng's safety to pay attention to Hai Quan's whereabouts. Now that Yun Qianmeng had gone to Northern Qi under Qi Jingyuan's protection, Chu Feiyang was clearly relieved and could better focus on dealing with Jiang Muchen and Hai Quan.

"Your Highness, the Sea King is fleeing towards the city." Xi Lin reported Hai Quan's movements to Chu Feiyang, but a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. "I originally wanted to capture the Sea King alive, but I didn't expect that thousands of skilled assassins would appear and block the way. This is what gave the Sea King the opportunity to escape. All this is due to my negligence. I hope Your Highness will punish me."

After he finished speaking, Xi Lin knelt on the ground, waiting for Chu Feiyang's punishment without any complaints on his face.

"Get up, since Hai Quan dared to break into the city, he must have made full preparations. Those killers are probably the ones who poisoned the water before. Let the secret guards search the city with all their strength and eliminate this force." Chu Feiyang gave the order in a cold voice, and then led Xi Lin on horseback to the city wall.

"Where's General Dong?" The melee gradually ended thanks to the combined efforts of King Chen and King Chu. The streets and alleys of Jincheng were filled with Chu's troops clearing away corpses. Chu Feiyang's face was solemn as he scanned the devastated Jincheng, his gaze fixed on the approaching city wall.

"General Dong was injured, but he insisted on guarding the city wall." Following Chu Feiyang's gaze to the city wall, Xi Lin's mind emerged with the image of Dong Jin who was seriously injured but insisted on fighting, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

Hearing this, Chu Feiyang stopped talking, but his expression became even colder, and his whole body was filled with a chill that was ready to explode.

"Where is Jiang Muchen?" The closer they got to the city wall, the clearer the sounds outside the city became. A hint of coldness flashed across Chu Feiyang's face, and he asked in a cold voice.

"Prince Chen did not enter the city, but sent people to block Prince Hai on all roads leading to Chaocheng. Now he is ordering people to dig a pit outside Jincheng." Xi Lin reported everything respectfully.

"Digging a hole?" Chu Feiyang raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood Jiang Muchen's thoughts.

"Report." At this time, a guard trotted over, knelt on one knee in front of Chu Feiyang and reported, "Your Highness, Prince Chen drove all 400,000 captured soldiers into the pit and buried them alive."

"Your Highness..." Xi Lin was shocked. He didn't expect that Prince Chen had people dig a trap for this very thing.

"Since they followed the wrong master, they can only accept defeat." Chu Feiyang said this indifferently, then he turned over and got off the horse, and walked up to the city wall first.

The battle had just ended, and the city walls were in ruins, with flags burned by rockets everywhere, emitting an unpleasant burnt smell.

Dong Jin, wrapped in white gauze, still stood on the city wall, directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and guarding against a counterattack by King Chen's army.

Seeing the King of Chu personally approaching the tower, Dong Jin immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, I greet you."

Chu Feiyang quickly extended his hands to help the seriously injured Dong Jin up, and said gently: "General, you are Feiyang's savior. How can I be so unworthy of such a tribute?"

As soon as Dong Jin heard this, he knew he had helped the right person. He felt the pain in his body ease a lot. He quickly said, "This is my responsibility. Your Highness, there is no need to do this. Besides, it is such a pity to let the Sea King escape Jincheng this time."

Chu Feiyang pursed his lips lightly, his gaze already looking over the city wall at the Chen Wang army digging pits in the distance. A hint of sneer flashed in his eyes, and then he said to Dong Jin, "Chen Wang buried the 400,000 soldiers of the Hai Wang alive. This is a huge blow to Hai Quan. Now that Jiang Muchen and I have joined forces, even if Hai Quan can escape Jincheng, I'm afraid he can only escape the monk but not the temple."

"Alas, they are the people of Western Chu after all. King Chen's actions are really too cruel!" Dong Jin's eyes were also cast on the dozens of huge pits outside the city. Seeing the Sea King's soldiers who were tied up and kneeling beside the pits, he felt a little bit reluctant in his heart.

Four hundred thousand troops, not four thousand, not forty thousand. Behind these four hundred thousand troops are millions of relatives of Western Chu. How innocent are these people who have lost their loved ones!

This time, Chu Feiyang did not show any compassion. He simply said, "General, don't forget the people of Jincheng who died in the rockets, and don't forget the people who drank the poisoned water."

Did Hai Quan think that he would still treat Meng'er with compassion out of a heart that cared about the world, since they dared to besiege Jincheng with 500,000 people for more than a month?

Hearing the voice, Dong Jin turned his head slightly to look at Chu Feiyang, only to see a solemn expression on the general's face. He knew that the King of the Sea's action today had angered the King of Chu, otherwise how could he silently agree with the King of Chen's action?

But, is it too dangerous to join forces with King Chen?

Thinking of this, Dong Jin couldn't help but lower his eyes and think deeply, and he was even more worried about the King of Chu's boldness.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Chu Feiyang noticed Xi Lin had already brought the armor. He then said to Dong Jin, "I'll leave the rest to the General. When the war subsides, I'll bring my wife and children to thank you for saving my life!"

After speaking, Chu Feiyang took the armor from Xi Lin's hand and walked into the tea room on the tower where the soldiers drank water...

When the wooden door opened again, Chu Feiyang had changed out of his black robe and put on his armor again. He walked out of the room, sword in hand, and said to Xi Lin in a stern voice, "Send someone to tell Prince Chen that I will take good care of Concubine Yuande for him. I hope Prince Chen will abide by the agreement while we work together and not do anything behind his back."

After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang quickly walked down the city wall, quickly mounted his mount, and took the lead in rushing out of the city through the side door.

Outside Jincheng, tens of thousands of King Chen's army were busy digging pits. Jiang Muchen sat on his horse, staring coldly at all the soldiers digging pits.

As soon as a large pit was dug, the Chen King Army drove the Sea King Army kneeling beside it into the pit, and then added more soil to the pit...

For a moment, in addition to the heavy snow, the suburbs of Jincheng were covered with yellow dust. Countless Sea King soldiers kept wailing and begging for mercy, but they could not get a single sympathetic look from Jiang Muchen.

As night fell, the outskirts of Jincheng were as bright as day. The Chen Wang army was busy digging and filling holes, while the Hai Wang army was in a dead silence.

Seeing that King Chen ignored them no matter how they begged for mercy, the Sea King's soldiers gradually fell silent, each of them accepting the reality of their impending death with a dull expression.

"Jiang Muchen, you shall not die a good death! Those you killed today were all people from Western Chu. How can a ruthless person like you be qualified to sit on the throne! The four hundred thousand souls here will never let you go. They will haunt you for generations to come and make sure you never reincarnate!" In the suburbs where heavy snow was falling, the captured general of the Sea King Army saw that he would be the next to die. He suddenly straightened up and cursed at Jiang Muchen who had been standing beside him. His voice was so loud that it was particularly clear in the silent suburbs.

"Hmph, I didn't expect there's someone as stubborn as you under the Sea King's command. I never believe in the gods! However, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Jiang Muchen, sitting upright on horseback, shot a murderous look at the general. With a cold snort, he ordered Ning Feng beside him, "Divide him into five pieces and execute him on the spot!"

"Yes!" Ning Feng did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately raised the whip in his hand. The horse felt pain and ran towards the general in an instant.

In just half a cup of tea, ropes were tied around the limbs and neck of the Sea King Army general. Driven by the Chen King Army, the five horses immediately spread their legs and ran out with all their might. Before the general could curse Jiang Muchen again, his blood splattered on the snow and he was torn into pieces by the five horses.

After this incident, the air was clear of the thick smell of blood, and no more unnecessary sounds remained...

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu has secretly left Jincheng. Before leaving, he sent someone to tell you that he would take good care of the Queen Mother for you!" Ning Feng returned to Jiang Muchen's side and whispered to Jiang Muchen what Chu Feiyang said before he left.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Muchen did not get angry after hearing this, but continued to stare at the big pit in front of him.

Ning Feng was secretly anxious and could not help but whisper, "Your Majesty, if we had entered Jincheng before the King of Chu today, I'm afraid things would not have turned out this way. What we are doing now is tantamount to making wedding clothes for the King of Chu."

"Dong Jin is Chu Feiyang's man. Even if we enter the city, Dong Jin will definitely not let us close the city gates to prevent Chu Feiyang from entering. Besides, who knows if there are no other traps in Jincheng? Although we want to capture Yun Qianmeng, we can't sacrifice ourselves. After this incident, Haiquan was seriously injured. The alliance between me and Chu Feiyang is an even greater blow to Haiquan. After dealing with Haiquan, we will deal with Chu Feiyang." Jiang Muchen's eyes were cold and frosty. He analyzed the current situation in a cold voice, "Even though Yun Qianmeng has the imperial edict from our ancestors to depose the emperor, even if Chu Feiyang and others find a candidate for the emperor, the capital is now in my hands. Unless Chu Feiyang re-elects the imperial capital, how can he succeed to the throne even with the edict? Moving the capital is extremely costly in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. After such a long period of war, do you think the Chu King's army still has extra money to move the capital?"

However, despite saying this, Jiang Muchen still couldn't help but ask, "Where's Yun Qianmeng?"

Ning Feng couldn't help but lower his head and whispered back, "The King of Chu has secretly sent the Princess away. According to spies, the Northern Qi army that was hiding in the King of Chu's camp has also disappeared!"

"Snap..." Ning Feng's words hadn't faded away in his ears when the clear sound of a whip rang out in the quiet suburbs...

Ning Feng suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Muchen, only to see that the long whip he had been holding in his hand suddenly lashed hard onto the ground, making a loud noise...

"Hai Quan, this bastard, ruined my good deeds!" A gritting voice came out from between his teeth, and Jiang Muchen's face was cold and murderous.

"Chu Feiyang is afraid
