Everyone was waiting outside the city gate. Zong Zhengchen rode his horse closer and stared at Qin Ye deeply for a few seconds.

Qin Ye smiled.

There are many things that don't need to be said between the two of them. The exchange of eyes can achieve a consensus of thoughts.

moment.

He withdrew his gaze, stopped his horse, leaned sideways, and reached out his hand to the child.

"Give him to me."

Zong Zhengli smiled very gently, took a half step forward very obediently, raised his hands slightly, and handed the child over:

"Seventh brother, have a safe journey."

He bit the words "Have a safe journey" lightly, which seemed to contain another layer of deeper meaning.

Prince Chen stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to touch the child, Zong Zhengli suddenly let go of his hand.

at once.

The child lost support and fell straight down!

"Zi Ye!"

Zong Zhengchen's breathing quickened and he jumped off his horse as fast as he could. He saw Prince Li catch the child, but because of his distraction for a moment, he was shot through the shoulder blade by a hidden arrow.

Puff——

"Achen!"

"Your Majesty!"

The incident happened suddenly and no one was able to cope with it.

Zong Zhengli held Zong Zheng Ziye in his left hand and Qin Ye in his right hand, and retreated seven or eight steps. At the same time, a group of royal guards quickly surrounded him, and archers appeared on the city wall.

In an instant, the situation became tense.

King Li went back on his word!

"Don't leave any one alive!" King Li said coldly, and countless arrows shot down, like a dense net, piercing everyone mercilessly.

"ah!"

"puff!"

Suddenly, many people in Prince Chen's Mansion, who had no martial arts skills, died tragically from the arrows, while others quickly drew out their swords to block and dodge.

"Zong Zhengli! You don't keep your word!" Qin Ye was furious.

She struggled, but was grabbed by several people and couldn't move.

There was a crazy coldness in Zong Zhengli's eyes:

"Qin Ye, you are still too naive. Only when Zong Zhengchen dies can I rest assured!"

Now Qin Ye and the child are in his hands, he wants Zong Zhengchen's life!

"Zong Zhengli!"

Zong Zhengchen covered his shoulder, his entire palm was covered with blood, his eyes were filled with anger, he drew his soft sword and rushed straight towards King Li.

"Kill him!"

Commander Zhang waved his sword and gave orders fiercely.

"Prince Li has issued an order that whoever can cut off the head of Prince Chen tonight will receive a reward of 10,000 taels!"

When the Royal Guards heard this, they were extremely excited and full of energy. They attacked King Chen desperately, trying to kill him with all their might.

Zong Zhengli stood outside the circle, watching the show with a smile on his face.

Smell of blood.

The sound of fighting.

The fallen body.

The blood flowed like a river...

Zong Zhengchen was injured, and he hadn't slept for several days, so he was physically exhausted. After fighting for a while, he couldn't keep up and accidentally suffered several injuries.

Commander Zhang shouted: "Close the city gates!"

Close the city gate and trap King Chen, he will surely die!

Qin Ye was anxious: "Zong Zhengchen, leave quickly!"

"I want his life!"

Zong Zhengchen's eyes were bloodshot, and he waved the sword in his hand everywhere. Blood splattered all over his body, his face was covered with blood, and even his eyeballs were red.

He was so angry that he lost his breath and accidentally got stabbed in the back with two more swords.

Qin Ye's eyes turned red with anxiety:

"You go first, go! Don't worry about me! Jing Yi, Han Feng, take him away!"

Jing Yi and Han Feng killed while approaching King Chen.

"The city gate is about to close, let's go first!"

"Master, calm down. There is hope only if you stay alive. Only if you escape safely will you have a chance to save the princess and the emperor's eldest grandson!"

The two men grabbed Zong Zhengchen and took him away by force.

Zong Zhengchen was covered in wounds and was killing like crazy:

"Let me go!"

"I won't leave!"

"Qin Ye, Qin Ye!"

"Let's go!"

Amid the chaotic sounds of running and fighting, Jing Yi knocked Zong Zhengchen unconscious with a single blow of his sword, and just as the city gate was about to close, he rode his horse out of the city.
