Palace!

The emperor sat in the imperial study, still unable to believe that the fourth son could have done this.

The fourth child is very smart and ambitious, but he has been tested many times and no one has shown that he has such intentions.

The prince is now seriously ill, and something like this has happened in the court. If the news spreads to other countries, the news that will come may be the destruction of the Li Kingdom.

"Then, where is Chu Aiqing?"

"Lord Chu has already gathered all the available men and secured every part of the city. Now, Your Majesty needs to make a decision. If you are worried that the Fourth Prince has other intentions, then we should prepare as soon as possible. After all, mobilizing troops takes time."

How could the emperor not be clear about their personalities? He had high hopes for these sons. If he mobilized troops for no reason and the fourth son had no such intention, wouldn't it hurt the relationship between father and son?

"Your Majesty, make a decision quickly."

"Let me think about it, let me think about it."

The emperor had never experienced a fight for the throne. His position was passed down to him directly by the previous emperor, so naturally he did not have that kind of worry.

I don't know where the fourth child is now, and the second child is traveling. It's really...

Su Yan was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Seeing the emperor being so indecisive, he wished he could make the decision for him.

The emperor finally made a decision.

"Mobilize the troops."

"yes!"

Su Yan took a long time to go back and forth, and coupled with the emperor's indecision, the enemy had already arrived at the gates of the city.

Chu Jinzhi didn't expect someone to arrive so quickly, so he immediately asked someone to pass the news to the palace. The person who went there just happened to meet Su Yan who came out.

He thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly took the emperor's tiger talisman and left the palace.

Chu Jinzhi led his men to defend the city gate.

"Master Chu, how are you?"

This man was the Fourth Prince, wearing golden armor and riding a tall horse, protected by the army behind him.

"The Fourth Prince is quite elegant, bringing so many people with him back to his home."

Looking from the city gate, there was no end in sight for this team.

“Yes, Master Chu, since I am returning to my own home, why don’t you open the door for this prince.”

"If the Fourth Prince goes alone, I can open the door."

Chu Jinzhi is delaying time. General Hongfu has already brought people here. As long as they can catch up, there is still hope.

"I don't have time for verbal battles with you, Chu Jinzhi. This king knows you're capable. Why don't you surrender to me? When I ascend to the throne, I'll grant you a high position and generous salary, and endless wealth and glory."

"You are joking, Fourth Prince. I am quite satisfied with everything I have now."

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me. Attack the city!"

"yes!"

Everyone who had been prepared immediately picked up their weapons and attacked the door.

At this time, the city was also in chaos. The group of people instigated by the Fourth Prince brought the palace soldiers and the Deadpool who had been ambushing in the city, and started a massacre at each city gate.

Focusing on dealing with the officers and soldiers outside the city gate, they were attacked from both sides. In just two hours, all the city gates except the one guarded by Chu Jinzhi were lost, and the only remaining city gate was also in danger.

He left some men here to guard the place, and led another team all the way to the palace.

But their number was too small. Even if they were brave enough to fight ten enemies at once, they could not withstand the attack of a group.

Chi Xu had been by his side the whole time. He had been stabbed in the hand and blood was oozing out of the wound.

After fighting for so long, they were already exhausted.

"Chi Xu, how are you?"

"Sir, please go away and leave me alone."

Chi Xu was stabbed again in the back and now it was difficult for him to even stand.

They had already reached the palace, and the brothers around them fell one by one.

He saw various officials being tied up and brought to the palace. Many of them were injured, including Chu Shizhang.

.

System [Rongxi, the mission target is in danger.]

"What! Show the picture."

As soon as the screen opened, Rong Xi saw the palace full of corpses and Chu Jinzhi, who was seriously injured but still supporting Chi Xu.

At this moment, he no longer looked as cheerful as before. His face and body were covered in blood, and there was a knife wound on his back that was so deep that the bone could be seen.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. How could she end up like this just by going out?

She stood up and walked towards the door. The people here were the ones Chu Jinzhi had asked to protect her, so they naturally stopped her when they saw her trying to go out.

"Girl, it's a chaotic situation outside now, so you'd better not go out."

"Get out of the way."

"Miss, please don't blame us. We are following the master's orders to protect you. Please don't blame us."

Rong Xi had just taken two fitness pills in a row. Seeing that this man was trying to stop him, he grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him up easily.

Lu'er and Jiang'er, who also came out to dissuade them, stepped back in fear. This was really their weak and helpless girl!

I was wondering if it had been switched or if I had been poisoned by some drug. I heard that there was a drug from the frontier that would cause this.

"Girl, you..."

Rong Xi didn't wait for her to finish and directly threw the person in his hand out. He used less force, otherwise the person would have been injured.

"You can't stop me, get out of the way."

The guards were all terrified, but they dared not disobey the master's order.

"I went to save your master. If I were any later, he would have really died."

"this……"

"Miss!"

Rong Xi looked up and saw Lan Zhi, Lan Ying, Yu Shu and Yu Xun.

The four of them jumped down from the wall together, and instantly stood beside Rong Xi, protecting her behind them.

As soon as the long sword came out, Rong Xi walked straight out, but this time no one stopped her.

She got on Lanzhi and the others' carriage and went straight to the palace.

In the carriage, Rong Xi was given a fitness pill and a recovery pill.

"Eat it."

After the four of them ate, Rong Xi asked the system to open the image of Chu Jinzhi again, but unfortunately, he saw a soldier's spear piercing his back.

Rong Xi clenched his hands tightly and his expression became increasingly grim.

Soon they arrived at the palace, and Rong Xi directly took out Wangyue, which he had taken away from the previous world, from the spiritual space.

Although this artifact cannot exert its magical power here, it is still a peerless sword that can cut through iron like mud.

As soon as he put the bracelet on his hand, he moved sideways to block the long sword that appeared, and followed the system's guidance all the way to Chu Jinzhi's location.

Dressed in a red robe with fluttering sleeves, she walked towards the man with determination in the palace filled with corpses.

I don't know whose blood was stained on his body, but it drew patterns of varying shades on his red clothes.

Seeing Chu Jinzhi who was still holding on even though he was seriously injured, I thought he was such a fool.

For that damn emperor, he didn't even want to sacrifice his life.

The four people around her have been surrounding her. After taking the pills given by the master, she is now as light as a swallow, with sharp eyes, as strong as an ox, and feels like she has endless energy.

At this moment, an arrow was flying straight towards Chu Jinzhi.
