Chapter 156 The Last Princess of the Dynasty
However.
When they lifted Xiangying's quilt, they found that she was holding an iron object in her arms.
Question marks popped up in the heads of several people.
"What is this?"
One of them came closer to observe and hissed, "It looks like a musket."
A cold voice with a hint of sleepiness sounded above their heads.
"You read that right. This is a fire gun. One shot of it can blow you to death."
The assassins who had lurked in were suddenly startled and retreated.
But Xiangying, who was sleeping soundly just now, now opened his pair of sharp black eyes.
Her cheeks were abnormally red from burning, but her eyes were clearer and sharper than ever.
The body aches caused by high fever cannot overcome muscle memory.
Xiangying sat up swiftly almost instantly, and before they could react, the cold iron mouth of the musket was already aimed at them.
She gently flicked off the foil: "Remember, this shot of mine is called 'You're going to die'!"
"Run!" the assassins shouted!
However, before the dead leg could take two steps, the red gunpowder roared out.
With a loud "bang", the entire snow mountain began to buzz.
The broken snow fell down, Jie Chen turned around and saw that half of Xiangying's house was burning with fire!
Xie Chenbo's eyes changed color and he turned and rushed towards Xiangying.
However, King Xuan's men who were ambushing nearby suddenly realized that something was wrong, so they no longer hid and rushed out with their swords!
When the two snow beasts were attacking and biting fiercely, they suddenly heard a clear music.
They seemed to understand human nature, turned around and ran, quickly disappearing into the woods.
The skinny monkey shouted, "Stop chasing! Go help the deputy general first!"
Xie Chen's soldiers instantly engaged in a melee with the troops brought by King Xuan.
A jade-white hand covered with snow and gunpowder ash leaned against the half-collapsed wall.
Xiangying held his stomach and walked out slowly.
She brushed off the dust on her body and coughed twice.
She modified the musket and put heavy gunpowder in it so it could be used to defend against both humans and animals.
But she didn't expect that these people were so bold.
How dare you break into her room and force her? She was just drowsy, not dead!
Xiangying looked into the distance and saw Jie Chen being fought by seven or eight people.
She endured the dizziness in her head and prepared to go over to help.
At the same time, Xiang Qianqian had already seen the men behind the ambush soldiers.
The other person was sitting on a horse, with a mustache on his philtrum and a dignified look on his round face.
Xiang Qianqian was delighted and quickly picked up her skirt and ran over.
"Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang!"
King Xuan is her father's brother, and he must have come to save them from the dire straits.
However, when Xiang Qianqian ran near King Xuan's horse, she was suddenly stopped by a soldier with a knife.
King Xuan glanced at her and said, "Qianqian? Are you still alive? Where is your mother?"
Xiang Qianqian burst into tears: "My mother...my mother was eaten by a snow beast. Uncle Wang, please take me away quickly. These Nanyue soldiers are simply not human. I have suffered a lot on this journey."
King Xuan remained unmoved and just stared at her deeply.
"Do you know where Princess Xiangying hid the imperial seal?"
Xiang Qianqian was stunned: "I don't know, maybe it's in her own hands, or maybe she gave it to Li Chen."
"In short, she was being so affectionate with Jie Chen the whole way, and didn't care about the country at all. I...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, a long sword was placed across her neck.
The soldiers shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Xiang Qianqian was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs went limp: "Uncle Wang, what are you doing? I am Qianqian! Are you going to do that to me too?"
King Xuan laughed and said, "The Western Zhou Dynasty has fallen. Whoever obtains the imperial seal will rule the world. I already have 100,000 soldiers and horses! All I need is a chance to inherit the Mandate of Heaven."
"And you don't even know the whereabouts of the imperial seal, so your life is worthless to me! Give me a reason to spare your life."
Xiang Qianqian was terrified. In a panic, she said incoherently: "I, I can take you to find Big Sister. They are fighting, and Jie Chen has no time to take care of Big Sister."
"My elder sister is seriously ill now and has no ability to resist. Uncle Wang wants the imperial seal, so just capture her!"
King Xuan's expression finally eased a little: "Okay! Come, escort me and the fifth princess to find the eldest princess."
Xiang Qianqian was pushed and led the way forward with a pale face.
Xie Chen saw it from the corner of his eye, and could not help but shout in a cold and rough voice: "Stop them!"
General Ke immediately turned his horse around and led his men to stop King Xuan and others.
When the two sides engaged in battle, King Xuan had the upper hand due to his large numbers of troops.
Their swords were pointed at Xiang Qianqian's neck: "If you don't surrender, we will kill her immediately!"
Xiang Qianqian burst into tears: "General Ke, Brother Ke, save me!"
General Ke couldn't help but distract himself and look at her.
Xiang Qianqian sobbed, "You once said that I look a lot like your sister from back home. She's the same age as me."
"If she was also held hostage like this, would you save her? I just want to survive, brother, brother!!"
When she was applying medicine to General Ke, she heard him talk about his sister.
General Ke has no father or mother. He has been training in the military camp and can endure all kinds of hardships, but he cannot bear to see his own sister suffer.
So, when Xiang Qianqian said this, he hesitated.
"Stop!" He shouted, and the soldiers around him stopped immediately.
However, King Xuan seized the opportunity and said, "Kill them!"
His soldiers did not stop, and blood splattered everywhere in an instant!
Ke Jianjun's eyes turned red: "Stop!"
He rushed forward and swung his sword, but was shot in the chest by an arrow from King Xuan.
General Ke fell down, holding his chest with his hands, his eyes wide open, looking unwilling.
Xiang Qianqian took the opportunity to say to King Xuan: "Uncle Wang, follow me, Xiangying's tent is ahead!"
When they passed by General Ke who was lying on the ground, Xiang Qianqian didn't even lower her head to look at him.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Xiang Qianqian's ankle.
She looked down and saw that it was General Ke who was still alive.
"You...you don't have to do this...the deputy general can give you dignity..." Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, "Go back, go back!"
Xiang Qianqian laughed: "General Ke, you are so stupid. I am from the Western Zhou Dynasty. You Nanyue destroyed my family. How could I really regard you as my brother?"
"You're about to die and still want to advise me. How unnecessary!" She kicked him in the chest.
General Ke rolled down the slope.
He was sliding faster and faster, and at the end of the hillside was a cliff!
suddenly!
Two arrows flew past King Xuan's neck.
It directly nailed onto General Ke's sleeves and trouser legs, preventing him from sliding further down.
King Xuan was surprised: "What an accurate archery skill."
He turned his head and saw Xiangying putting down his bow and arrow, with his black hair flying in the wind, standing at the highest point of the hillside in the snow.
Behind her was a burning house with flames shooting up into the sky, forming a fierce force with the falling snow on the mountain.
The light of the snow mixed with flames was like a layer of military robe on her shoulders, showing her medal of invincibility.
Before King Xuan spoke, the soldiers he brought with him became a little scared.
"It's the eldest princess..."
She was the last legitimate princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and also a mischievous devil who never took civil and military officials seriously.
