Chapter 479 Finalization

How is this possible?

Xiao Lin stared at Zhou Boxu in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Zhou Boxu put away his knife and said, "I forgot to tell the second prince that my dagger can cut iron like mud."

Xiao Lin played dirty tricks on him, so don't blame him for being ruthless.

"You..." Xiao Lin opened his mouth and gushed out a mouthful of blood, blocking his hateful curse.

"Bang!"

Xiao Lin's body was already damaged after the serious illness, and he just fought for half a while. Xiao Lin couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground unwillingly.

But until his death, he didn't understand why Shuncheng was lost so quickly.

Obviously, they had a thorough plan. Even if Dazhao attacked, 50,000 soldiers and horses plus the beast army could resist until he came back.

What went wrong?

Xiao Lin couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have the chance to figure it out.

Blood was gushing out of his chest, and he vomited from time to time. Xiao Lin looked at the dark night sky, the noise in his ears gradually faded, and he was sucked into the endless darkness.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Xiao Lin's guards shouted in panic.

This shout startled the generals of the Nanyan Army. When they turned around and saw Xiao Lin lying on the ground dead, their hearts sank instantly.

Xiao Lin was dead, so would they be buried with him?

Forty thousand troops, all of them were living lives.

Xiao Lin did not have a military order, and they were reluctant to come to Shuncheng, but were forced to come by Xiao Lin with the threat of their families.

The general looked around, watching the Nanyan army fall one after another, feeling heartbroken and regretful, but he could do nothing.

Just when he was full of despair, he suddenly heard a threatening voice behind him.

"Da Zhao army, listen to my order, anyone who surrenders will not be killed. Anyone who resists to the death will be killed without mercy."

After Yu Zheng finished speaking, a messenger soldier rode a horse and ran to report.

"Da Zhao army, listen to my order, anyone who surrenders will not be killed. Anyone who resists to the death will be killed without mercy..."

The two armies that were fighting fiercely heard this and stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

If possible, no one would want to die.

The Nanyan general looked at the stopped Nanyan army with sadness in his heart. He didn't want to die, but his dignity as a general prevented him from surrendering.

"You are born as a Nanyan person, you die as a Nanyan ghost, and you will never be a slave of Dazhao!" the general shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Yu Zheng said coldly: "Dazhao disdains you."

"Then His Highness King Jing's words are pure teasing!" The general was angry.

Tu can be killed but not humiliated, it is really too much to bully others!

Yu Zheng stared at the angry-looking general of Nanyan and said in a deep voice: "I will return you to Nanyan, including Shuncheng and Xingyi City."

What does he mean?

The general looked at Yu Zheng blankly, unable to react for a moment.

The army of Xingyi City is here. As long as the Dazhao Army kills them, they can take Xingyi City directly without any effort.

But Yu Zheng said that they and the two cities would be returned to Nanyan. How could this be possible!

The generals couldn't figure it out, and Yu Zheng didn't explain. He issued an ultimatum: "I have given you a chance to live. The choice is up to you. You have a cup of tea to think about it."

Killing them would be meaningless except for an extra 40,000 corpses, and the Dazhao Army would also suffer heavy casualties. But leaving them behind would be of great use.

Yu Zheng was gambling, gambling that no one wanted to die.

As Yu Zheng finished speaking, the guards brought a chair for Yu Zheng to sit on, and then served him a cup of hot tea.

Yu Zheng just sat on the long street full of corpses, and under the gaze of the two armies, he calmly played and drank slowly.

The night was dark, and the bright moon was covered by thick clouds, and no light could be seen.

Jiang Shu waited in the tent for a long time, and he was restless and could not sit still, so he got up and walked out.

"Princess." Zhuiyun was guarding the door with the guards.

This is the city of Nanyan military camp, and Yu Zheng was worried about Jiang Shu's safety because he

didn't know the details. Leng Xing stayed in the military camp under Daming Mountain to take care of Zhufeng because Zhufeng was seriously injured and unconscious, so he was not suitable for moving. He did not come with him, so Yu Zheng left Zhuiyun to protect Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu poked his head and looked towards the gate of the barracks and asked, "Has the prince not returned yet?"

Zhuiyun said, "Not yet."

"Don't worry, princess. Our army is sure to win. The master will be back soon."

Jiang Shu responded casually and walked forward.

Zhuiyun knew that Jiang Shu wanted to wait at the gate of the barracks, so he did not stop him and followed him silently.

The Dazhao army went to the east gate to fight. There were only the rear service troops, wounded soldiers, and a small number of guards in the camp.

Jiang Shu walked to the gate of the barracks, clenched his hands and looked in the direction where Yu Zheng and the others left, waiting for them to return victoriously.

The food stored in Shuncheng Barracks was very rich, with meat and vegetables. Jiang Shu asked the rear service camp to prepare supper to reward the three armies.

It was dark all around, and only the fire in the barracks was the only light.

Jiang Shu was staring at the night in a trance, when suddenly a group of men in black emerged from the darkness.

"Capture Princess Dazhao alive!" The men in black shouted and raised their knives to attack Jiang Shu.

"Princess, be careful!" Zhuiyun, who was following closely behind Jiang Shu, shouted and quickly drew the short sword from his waist to fight back.

"Clang!" The knife of the man in black was blocked by Zhuiyun half a meter away from Jiang Shu.

The guards and the garrison reacted and rushed forward with knives.

Jiang Shu hurriedly retreated away from the men in black.

Zhuiyun looked serious, and after killing one of the men in black, he retreated to Jiang Shu's side and protected her closely, just in case.

Seeing that Jiang Shu was far away, the man in black wanted to kill her to vent his anger when he failed to capture her alive, so he shot a cold arrow in the dark.

"Swoosh--" Two cold arrows shot at her at the same time, and Jiang Shu's eyes widened in fear.

Zhuiyun was about to remind her to be careful, but when she turned around, she saw Jiang Shu suddenly squatting down.

The princess was really... smart.

Zhuiyun swung his sword to block one cold arrow, and the other flew over Jiang Shu's head.

The man in black who shot the arrow secretly was stunned for a moment.

They had never seen anyone dodge arrows like this.

There were walls all around and a battle was going on in front of them. Jiang Shu was mostly blocked and could only be shot at her upper body. But when she squatted down, the man who shot the arrow secretly could not aim at her.

Zhuiyun called a few guards to help him cover Jiang Shu back to the tent.

Jiang Shu did not hesitate at all, picked up her skirt and ran back to the tent.

She did not expect that someone would come to assassinate her, and at the gate of the military camp. She was too brave.

Listening to the fighting outside, Jiang Shu sat down in the tent and poured herself a cup of tea to calm herself.

Zhuiyun and a few guards were guarding outside the tent, not leaving a step.

After Jiang Shu finished her tea, she heard the sound of fighting outside stop, and then there was another noise.

"But something else happened?" Jiang Shu asked anxiously.

Zhuiyun did not answer. Jiang Shu was just feeling strange when she saw the tent opened and Yu Zheng walked in.

"Husband!" Jiang Shu was filled with joy, her eyes lit up instantly, she stood up and ran towards Yu Zheng, and threw herself into Yu Zheng's arms.

Yu Zheng hugged her with his right hand and said slowly: "Are you scared?"

Jiang Shu nodded, raised her head and said: "I didn't expect them to dare to come to the military camp to assassinate."

Yu Zheng patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, there won't be any more in the future."

The reason why the remnants of Nanyan took the risk to come to the military camp to assassinate was because they had no other way to go. They wanted to capture Jiang Shu and negotiate with him, or vent their hatred.

But everything has settled.
