Cui Erlang didn't expect to make a move so soon.
However, Jinzhi's words angered him.
This woman, even at this point, still can't see the situation clearly and still dares to be stubborn. Then don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Hang our Commander Jinzhi on the city wall. I want to see what choice Zhou Ying will make."
Cui Erlang spoke in a sinister tone, a clear madness flashing in his eyes.
"yes!"
The person next to him agreed and began to prepare to take action.
"Let's do it!"
Jinzhi raised her head and shouted loudly as well.
Then, she kicked over the sergeant beside her, turned around, and with her hand that was trapped behind her back, drew the sword from the other sergeant's waist.
Swish, swish, swish!
Before anyone could react, Jinzhi, who had retired due to a leg injury, deftly cut all the ropes binding her body.
She was completely free again.
"What a formidable female commander! She's truly impressive!"
Seeing the incredibly powerful Jinzhi, Cui Erlang's madness became even more apparent.
If the opponent is too weak, there is no sense of accomplishment at all.
Haha, he just loves playing cat and mouse games.
The more the mouse struggles, the more enjoyable it will be to play.
He wanted to show Jinzhi that no matter how powerful one person is, they can't defeat a group of people.
There are three or four hundred retainers and followers on this city wall.
Even Cui Erlang was not a useless piece of trash who couldn't even kill a chicken; he was a scion of a prestigious family, skilled in both literature and martial arts.
While urging everyone to attack, Cui Erlang watched with great interest as Jinzhi made her final "death struggle".
However, Cui Erlang had no idea that there was an anomaly on the city wall, not just at their location.
Protests broke out in other places as well.
It turns out that Jinzhi's shout of "Let's do it!" was not only to embolden herself, but also to issue a command.
At her command, all the women who had been pulled onto the city wall sprang into action.
They were more convenient than the Golden Bough, perhaps because of their disdain; their followers and followers did not tie their hands or feet.
They simply placed swords against their necks.
Following Jinzhi's command, all the women began their "counterattack."
Some kicked, some swung their arms, some scratched... Although the moves were not professional or sharp and were a bit unorthodox, they were all very effective.
The key point is that the followers and cultists who were guarding them were completely unprepared.
In a moment of panic, he was struck hard in the groin or face, his weapon fell from his hand, and he was temporarily incapacitated.
The women seized the opportunity, bent down, picked up their weapons, and began fighting with the men.
In an instant, a fierce battle broke out on the city wall.
The "battle" on the city wall seemed to be a signal, and instantly, many people sprang into action.
Inside the city, near the city gate, several figures moved swiftly.
With a swift stroke, the "rebels" who had temporarily seized the city gate were swiftly eliminated.
"One, two! One, two!" Several men chanted in low voices as they worked together to lift the heavy bolts of the city gate.
The bolt was lifted, and then the men began to pull the city gate open with all their might.
With a creak, the tall and heavy city gate was slowly opened.
Squads of silver-armored soldiers quickly entered the city.
Some people climbed onto the city walls, joined the chaotic battle, and quickly took control of the situation.
Cui Erlang:......
Before he could react, Jinzhi had already kicked him to the ground with a sweeping kick. Before he could get up and fight again, a sharp blade was pressed against his neck!
We lost!
So fast!
It happened in the blink of an eye!
It was so easy, like a farce.
Haha, this might actually be a joke, a trap.
It's ridiculous that he thought this was his only chance!
Realizing he had suffered a crushing defeat, Cui Erlang simply gave up.
He lay sprawled on the ground, oblivious to the blade pressed against his throat, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.
The night was pitch black, and the moon was almost full.
The sky is filled with countless stars, twinkling with dazzling light.
Indeed, how can fireflies compete with the bright moon?
Compared to the supreme couple Helian Jue and Xie Yuan, he, and indeed the entire Cui family, seemed to be nothing more than fireflies.
...
"Thank you, senior brother!" Even though it wasn't necessary!
Xie Zhen peeked out from behind Yuwen Hao and sincerely thanked him.
"I am your elder brother, it is my duty to protect you. No need for thanks!"
Yuwen Hao stood upright with piercing eyes, exuding an air of righteous indignation.
Chen Fuli: ...Fine! You want to be a hero? I'll grant your wish!
Overwhelmed by his "victory," Chen Fuli felt as if he had returned to the time when he was the crown prince.
He was second only to the emperor, extremely noble, and held the power of life and death over countless people.
A madness flashed in his eyes as he raised his hand, the chilling blade slashing directly at Yuwen Hao.
Yuwen Hao was a nobleman's son who grew up learning the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and he also came from a prestigious family and traveled all over the world.
Nature is not just a pretty face.
He grabbed a candlestick from the side, used it to block Chen Fuli's blade, and then fought with Chen Fuli.
Once Chen Fuli made his move, the guests couldn't hold back any longer and tried to rush out of the Marquis of Anle's residence.
The Chen family's selfish motives, the Yellow Sect's followers, and some forces that have secretly colluded with them will certainly not allow the "hostages" to escape.
Some fled, some chased, some shouted for battle, and some desperately tried to protect themselves... The wedding banquet, which was just moments before adorned with flowers and splendor, instantly turned into a battlefield of carnage.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a hail of arrows shot in from all directions.
Chen Fuli was hit in the arm by an arrow, while some of his guards were riddled with arrows.
"I am here! Why don't you surrender, you traitorous Chen family?"
The fourth prince made a dazzling entrance, hiding behind rows of armored soldiers.
Hmph, this Chen family is too arrogant. Does he really think the capital is his own?
Don't they realize that there's still His Highness Prince Yong, responsible for the security of the capital, in this city?
Princess Xu, holding two spiked clubs, stood beside the Fourth Prince, exuding a murderous aura and awe-inspiring presence.
She had long been accustomed to her husband's "using his power to bully others".
The Prince of Yong's Mansion had been preparing for this battle for a long time.
The time has finally come!
"By the way, where is the young master of the Xie family?"
"Although the Emperor and the Empress both sent people to protect us, swords have no eyes after all."
“He’s just a child; even a small bump or bruise would cause him suffering.”
Princess Xu is not only incredibly skilled in martial arts, but also exceptionally thoughtful.
Her phoenix eyes scanned the entire scene, trying to find Xie Zhen's figure in the chaotic crowd.
"Hey! There it is! It looks like it's being protected by that Yulang guy!"
The fourth prince wasn't very strong in martial arts, but he had sharp eyes and quickly locked onto two figures, one big and one small.
"Yuwen Hao!"
Following her husband's finger, Princess Xu saw Yuwen Hao protecting Xie Zhen with his body.
She uttered the name softly, her eyes flickering slightly.
