Dingwu Gate, a side gate of the imperial palace, was used by palace maids and eunuchs to go out and purchase supplies.
People come in and out of this place every day, the personnel are mixed, and the garrison is not controlled by the eldest prince.
Therefore, apart from Shenwu Gate, this place is the second target of the rebels to enter the palace.
Jiang Lingyu was here specifically to prevent the rebels from entering the palace.
Shenwu Gate is inaccessible, and almost all the rebels have gathered here.
The enemy was approaching the inner gate, but the defenders held their ground.
The sound of fighting was deafening, and the splattered blood was instantly washed away by the heavy rain.
The next moment, another body fell to the ground and blood flowed.
The rebels killed wave after wave, and everyone's strength was almost drained.
Jiang Lingyu was having a hard time resisting and had multiple injuries on his body, and the defending army was also in a state of retreat.
“Clang——”
The spear hit the sword directly, and Jiang Lingyu was pushed back several steps. He used the sword to support himself on the ground and struggled to stand firm.
"Jiang Lingyu, Dongwu is doomed, you'd better surrender!" The enemy general looked arrogant.
According to calculations, the emperor is already writing a memorial at this moment.
After years of hiding, today is the day for them to restore the previous dynasty.
"Traitor! Don't even think about it!" Jiang Lingyu spat out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward with his sword.
After several battles, Jiang Lingyu gained the upper hand.
“Puff…”
The person protecting his back was killed by the enemy, and Jiang Lingyu's weak point was exposed.
"Boom..."
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and light flashed on the cold sword blade.
With murderous intent approaching from behind, Jiang Lingyu wanted to turn around and resist.
The people in front noticed his intention and pressed on step by step. Jiang Lingyu was overwhelmed and a trace of fear flashed through his heart.
What would Xu Qing do if he died here?
They just got married...
"puff--"
Before despair could rise in his heart, the sound of an arrow piercing through flesh was heard behind him.
The next moment, the arrow grazed the enemy general's shoulder.
Jiang Lingyu took the opportunity to escape the enemy's killing range. Looking back, he never expected that the person who saved him was...
On the city wall, a woman in green stood in the wind and rain, holding a longbow, her sleeves rustling and her hair dancing in the wind.
"Xu Qing."
"Husband, I will guard your rear."
The rain was still falling, and a soft yet firm voice penetrated the rain curtain.
It was like a spiritual power entering his body, and Jiang Lingyu instantly became more powerful. He turned around and pulled out the long sword from the ground.
With someone guarding the rear, he can focus on facing the enemy head-on.
One man held a sword on the battlefield, and the other held a longbow on the wall. The two cooperated tacitly and successfully seriously injured the enemy leader.
At this time, the Royal Guards who had been released from control of the palace came to support and the rebels were all defeated.
The follow-up matters were handed over to the commander of the Imperial Guards. Jiang Lingyu retreated to the wall and was finally able to rest.
"Husband, husband...don't sleep, you can't sleep..."
Jiang Lingyu had just closed his eyes when he was awakened by Rong Xuqing's crying.
His face was frighteningly pale, and the many bloody wounds on his body were washed white by the rain, making him look hideous and terrifying.
The moment Rong Xuqing saw Jiang Lingyu close his eyes, her murderous fear was instantly buried by endless terror, along with her entire body.
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine..." His voice was hoarse and he tried his best to force a smile.
"I... I didn't aim well, I almost shot you..."
In an instant, Rong Xuqing lost all her toughness and burst into tears in his arms.
She was very scared, and she was scared from the moment she picked up the bow and arrow.
When she was in school, she mastered all six arts of a gentleman.
As the daughter of a general, she was naturally better at riding and shooting than other girls in the boudoir.
But it was the first time that he pointed the arrow at people.
The enemy was so close to Jiang Lingyu that if the bullet deviated even slightly, her husband would be shot.
But the man's long knife had already slashed at the back of Jiang Lingyu's neck. If she didn't shoot the arrow, her husband would still die.
At that moment, she mustered up great courage and felt her hands were out of control.
She didn't feel the existence of her hand until the longbow fell out of her hand.
"You saved me, you did a great job..." Jiang Lingyu gently stroked his wife's back and comforted her in a low voice.
