Chapter 181 Rescue
"Xie Lingxi! Your archery skills...are amazing!" Chu Jue thought he was doomed, but all the soldiers surrounding him fell down, and the person who came from afar turned out to be Xie Lingxi.
"Second brother, sister-in-law!" Xie Ruojiao was very surprised.
Song Heng also breathed a sigh of relief. The Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince had brought so many people with them, and everyone was saved.
"Where are these people from? Aren't all the Xie family troops in the northern border?" Murong Shicheng couldn't believe it.
He looked at the dark mass of soldiers behind Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong and was completely stunned.
Because the emperor was very wary of the Northern Prince's Palace, there were no troops in the capital that the Xie family could mobilize.
Likewise, the Li family didn’t have any.
Except for a small number of soldiers in their respective mansions, the armies of the Xie and Li families were all guarding the border.
It is absolutely impossible for him to suddenly appear in the capital.
"Wanjin Commercial Bank." Fan Ziyi reacted and looked alert, "Your Highness, let's retreat quickly and join the main force!"
It has long been rumored that Wanjin Trading Company belongs to the Xie family.
But no one knows how much silver and how many people Wanjin Commercial Bank has.
They were able to actually break into the capital, their strength should not be underestimated!
The main force of the Beijing Camp led by the prince surrounded the Xie family, and only a small vanguard force came to hunt down the "slippery fish" at this time.
"Okay..." Murong Shicheng was very afraid of death and was very receptive to the suggestion of escaping.
Fan Ziyi ordered this group of soldiers to cover the rear and evacuate quickly along with Murong Shicheng.
The guards of Wanjin Commercial Bank and the soldiers started fighting.
Fan Ziyi had a sharp eye for assessing the situation. He turned around and left after a brief encounter, without trying to stall for time and wait for the main force to come to support him...
Saved a life.
A quarter of an hour later.
The officers and soldiers who were left behind were reduced to corpses on the ground.
"Brother, you scared me to death just now!" Xie Ruojiao burst into tears when she saw Xie Lingxi:
"They surrounded our house, and grandma and dad are still inside..."
Xie Lingxi said, "I'll go over now."
"Crown Princess, are you okay?" Qiu Niang looked at Jiang Rong with concern.
Jiang Rong said, "I'm fine. You guys are here too..."
"Yes, we wanted to help, but we couldn't do much..."
Chu Jue raised his voice and took over the conversation, "Thank you for your help! Without you, we wouldn't be able to delay their return. My goodness, cousin, where did you get this army from, and this... Is this really Xie Lingxi?"
This doesn't look like a dandy thing.
"Thank you, Captain Chu." Jiang Rong looked at Chu Jue and thanked him sincerely. Although he still had a big mustache, Jiang Rong recognized the voice as soon as he heard it.
"We are brothers and sisters, don't be polite!"
Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong rushed to the Northern Prince's Palace with the Wanjin Commercial Bank guards, leaving Xiao Nanxing to treat everyone's injuries, and asked the chief manager to stay with a group of people to protect them.
…
The gate and wall of the Northern Prince's Palace were shattered by artillery fire.
Just when the Xie family was surrounded, Deputy General Chen gathered people and rushed over. They came back with Xie Pingbei...
After returning to Beijing, Xie Pingbei gave everyone a holiday.
Everyone goes back home and reunites with their families.
After the court has dealt with the peace talks in the Northern Desert, everyone will set off for the Northern Frontier together.
There are not many of these people, but they are all veterans who have experienced many battles with Xie Pingbei.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why are you here without military orders?" Xie Pingbei looked at Lieutenant General Chen and others.
Deputy General Chen said without hesitation, "Brothers have fought side by side with the prince for so many years. How can we be absent from the final battle!"
"Yes, even if we go down there, we will still fight with the prince!" Lieutenant General Zhang took over the conversation.
Xie Pingbei's eyes were moist, "Okay! Let's fight one last battle together!"
…
Chu Shouchen watched this scene quietly, feeling very heavy.
They have been through life and death in the northern border for many years.
Unexpectedly, they were all buried in the capital city in the end.
What a pity, how unfair, how not worth it.
But the way things are, he can't do anything about it. He wonders if his son and the others have escaped.
This battle was extremely brutal.
The Beijing camp has a large number of people, and the Xie family army is fearless and unafraid of death.
Even if he lost, he still made a great name for himself.
The people around Xie Pingbei fell one by one.
At this moment, Murong Shicheng and Fan Ziyi fled back in a hurry with a few soldiers.
"Your Highness!" The general of the Beijing camp who was left behind to encircle and suppress the Xie family immediately came forward, "What happened?"
Murong Shicheng's face was pale and he was still in shock.
Fan Ziyi reacted very quickly and said, "Quick! Hold the Northern Prince and Concubine Xie hostage!"
Xie Lingxi doesn't look easy to deal with.
Holding his father and grandmother hostage will surely make him helpless...
Wait? He is the son of the former crown prince, not a real Xie family member.
Is it still useful to hold the Northern King and the old concubine hostage?
Fan Ziyi was unsure for a moment, but it didn’t matter, he could give it a try first.
"Yes!" the general took the order.
But Xie Pingbei would rather die than surrender. He was shot by seven or eight arrows, but he refused to surrender.
"Fan Ziyi, there's no way we can catch him... We'd better kill him first and concentrate our forces to kill Xie Lingxi! He will run away soon!" Murong Shicheng said anxiously.
Xie Lingxi has a special identity and must be killed quickly.
Can't let him run away!
Fan Ziyi nodded upon seeing this. It was indeed impossible to capture alive a person who was determined to fight to the death.
"Someone, inform Prince Duan that we have found Xie Lingxi's whereabouts! Tell Prince Duan that we don't have enough manpower, and if he doesn't help, Xie Lingxi will run away." Fan Ziyi ordered the people around him.
Although they have more people, it should be enough to defeat Xie Lingxi.
But he won't tackle tough problems alone.
As soon as he finished speaking, dust flew up on the official road, and Xie Lingxi, Jiang Rong and his group rushed over.
Fan Ziyi didn't expect that after Xie Lingxi rescued someone, he not only didn't quickly flee the capital, but also dared to come to the Xie family.
This is the capital city, and their reinforcements are endless.
"Kill Xie Lingxi!" Murong Shicheng shouted quickly.
The archers that were originally aiming at the Northern Prince's Palace all turned around and aimed at Xie Lingxi and his group.
Thousands of arrows were fired at once.
There were few people just now, but now they are many, and Murong Shicheng is full of confidence.
This time, Xie Lingxi must be killed to prevent future troubles.
A quarter of an hour later.
The Beijing camp army led by Murong Shicheng was beaten to pieces.
I never expected that we would lose when we had more people than others!
At the critical moment, Prince Duan arrived with his men.
Murong Shili knew very well that killing Xie Lingxi was more important than killing the Li family.
Without Xie Lingxi, the plans of the Xie and Li families would be in vain.
"I'm not late, am I?" At this moment, another group of guards arrived.
Cen Tingbai arrived with his soldiers.
He had recently been training palace soldiers outside the city, and upon hearing the news that something had happened to the Xie family, he immediately led his troops here.
The city gate had been broken down by the Wanjin Commercial Bank's guards, so the passage was quite smooth.
He didn't know where Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi were, but he knew that they would definitely rush back to the Xie family after hearing the news.
I came to the Northern Palace specifically to pick them up!
