Du Ruofu was completely dumbfounded. He had already called back his troops and was about to leave, but someone still shot him in the back!
The key is that this arrow is so huge, has such a long range, and is so powerful.
He knew very well that this super crossbow had played a great role in Lu Yun's suppression of the rebellion of the princes.
Seeing the arrow getting closer and closer, and no one else could help, Du Ruofu made up his mind and directly released his body-protecting energy, which enabled him to resist the arrow.
He did block the arrow, but he flew backwards and suffered severe internal injuries.
I had never suffered such a serious injury when fighting against a great master. I didn't expect that I would be so embarrassed by an arrow.
Du Ruofu spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed angrily: "Good boy, wait for me!"
"If I don't peel off a layer of your skin, I won't be a human being!"
Return to the temporary camp.
Du Ruofu's spies also brought news, "Master Prime Minister, it's not good!"
"Sun City has been breached. I believe it won't be long before the Queen sends troops to attack us."
"It's even possible to merge with the Great Zhou."
"The Barbarian King has been imprisoned, and King Vajra Dharma King, who had been in seclusion for a long time, has also come out."
"What!" Du Ruofu frowned suddenly, a little surprised.
"How is that possible? King Vajra Dharma King hasn't come out for a long time. Why would he come out at this time? He really knows how to pick the time."
How could Du Ruofu not know in his heart that when King Vajra competed with him, he narrowly won by one move.
This almost caused King Vajra Dharma King's strength to decline, causing him to be seriously injured and forced to hide.
He also took this opportunity to come directly to the Sun City, became the Barbarian King's most trusted person, and almost controlled the Barbarian King.
Now, the King of Diamond Dharma has come out on his own...
This guy must know me. After all these years, the hatred must still be there.
…
On the other side, Baisha City.
As the general, Helan Meng took a brief rest after conquering the city and then prepared to go to Yulong Pass to help the Prime Minister.
In this way, when their troops are combined, they will not be afraid of the defenders of Yulong Pass.
However, just as he was about to leave, a spy came to report.
"General, Sun City has been breached!"
"The princess... has become the new queen, the ruler of the grassland."
"The Barbarian King has been imprisoned, and King Vajra Dharma King has also emerged from his retreat."
"The army has now reached the vicinity of Baisha City, less than twenty miles away, which took almost half a day."
"What!"
Helan Meng was shocked. Didn’t the Prime Minister say that there was no problem?
"Say it to me again!"
"General, everything I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes."
"I even arrested someone and asked him about it."
"This..." Helan Meng suddenly became a little nervous and sweated all over his forehead. He was mainly worried about whether his son was alive or not.
He only has this one son in his life, and he would regret it deeply if he lost him.
Why is this happening? The Prime Minister clearly promised that there would be no problems, and that people from all tribes would come to help the Barbarian King of Sun City.
"In fact, when we attacked Qianjian Pass, Sun City was already surrounded."
"this……"
"Where's my son?"
"The Major General should be alive. We just heard that Mu Cang, the son of the Stone Tribe leader, also known as the General of the Central Army, was beheaded on the battlefield."
"If something happened to the Major General, they would definitely spread the news..."
Helan Meng seemed to be lost in thought at this moment, muttering to himself: "Master Prime Minister, why are you doing this?"
"He clearly knows about this, so he must know why he's hiding it from us. Why is he still continuing to attack the Great Zhou? Can't he just send people back to aid the Barbarian King?"
"Could it be that in his heart, the Barbarian King is not important at all?"
"This..." They were all silent.
Soon, Queen Bai Xiaoxiao's army arrived near Baisha City.
Lu Yun quickly sent Ye Jiajia to deliver the message.
All I saw was Ye Jiajia wearing a red dress, riding a horse, and running very fast.
She came to the city gate and shouted loudly: "Everyone on the city wall, I am on the Queen's side!
I have come to deliver a message to your general. If your general is unwilling, then I will have no choice but to leave."
The defenders on the city wall took a look and knew that the general might be very anxious, so they quickly informed Helan Meng of the news.
Helan Meng quickly ordered people to open the city gate and let Ye Jiajia in.
It is relatively easy for a grandmaster to come and go freely, so he naturally has nothing to worry about.
When Helan Meng saw Ye Jiajia, the first thing he asked was, "Is my son still alive? If you dare to kill my son, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
Ye Jiajia rolled her eyes and explained, "Your son is alive and well."
"Who dares to kill your son?"
"That's good."
Helan breathed a sigh of relief.
"But your son is our prisoner now. If you can be obedient, we can release your son and let him be reunited with you.
If you don’t listen, there’s nothing we can do.”
"It's up to you whether you do it or not. We don't care anyway."
Hearing this, Helan Meng sighed helplessly, "It's shameful to threaten me with my son."
"What do you want me to do!"
"Let our armies unite and attack Du Ruofu."
"I'm sure you're also confused as to why Du Ruofu, knowing clearly the situation in Sun City, didn't send his troops back."
"This..." Helan was stunned. He did have such a doubt.
"Tell me."
"It's actually very simple. Du Ruofu is not a good person. He just wants to weaken the power of your Barbarian Nation."
"But the main purpose is to weaken the power and military strength of the Great Zhou."
"Do you really think he will sincerely help your Barbarian Nation? Besides, do you know who killed your Barbarian King?"
"I don't believe you don't know."
"You just want to follow Du Ruofu so you can have meat to eat."
"The Queen also said that as long as you submit, your son can be reunited with you, and you can still be the general.
As long as you can help stop Du Ruofu and kill him, the matter can be settled."
“…”
Helan Meng fell silent. He had thought it was a very simple struggle between the forces in the court.
It’s just that Du Ruofu wants to gain more power.
They just want to expand the territory for their barbarian country.
He never thought there was such a big conspiracy... When he found out that his son was still in their hands, he had to obey.
"I promise you."
