Chapter 215 Reinforcements Arrived

Outside the city, the Vietnamese and North Korean reinforcements that finally arrived began to attack the city.

General Tu Ning's confident smile quickly disappeared when his own troops were blown into pieces.

Amidst his setbacks, he finally encountered his only chance of a turnaround.

"General, we found a little girl, who is suspected to be the eldest daughter of the Emperor of the Yue Dynasty."

The Vietnamese and North Korean military camp on the other side also received the news.

"Report - General, the infiltrating reinforcements have news about His Highness."

The person sitting in the commander's seat was Lei Ning. At this moment, he looked like two completely different people in front of the sand table and in Beijing.

It was hard for anyone to believe that this dignified and calm commander was the honest and simple-minded general of the Jinwu Guard.

Upon hearing the news about the princess, Lei Ning and his subordinates became nervous, fearing that it might be bad news.

Although their army was a step slow because the baggage and gunpowder were damp, the rescue team had already been sent out.

But no trace of Princess Tianzhen was found.

I don’t know if she hid too well or her head and body were already separated.

Being in a den of thieves is always dangerous.

Everyone comforted each other, saying that no news was the best news, as it at least proved that the princess had not fallen into the hands of the enemy.

The news the soldiers brought was neither good nor bad, but rather: "Your Highness is safe and is hiding from the enemy."

"But they have also managed to get their own people out there, and they are continuing their search."

"We found Lady Lei first."

Lei Ning took a moment to react, then he remembered that this Mrs. Lei was referring to his eldest daughter Nian'er.

He smiled and praised, "Okay, okay, let's settle Nian'er first."

"The most important thing is to search for the princess first."

"Go tell Nian'er that I will go see her when I have time."

......

The enemy was attacking fiercely in front, and Tu Ning had no way to hunt down Bei Jingchu with all his strength, but they also had many people trying to capture him.

But even though Bei Jingchu was exhausted, the two of them had been forced into a corner by being attacked from the front and back.

Yan Wei held a knife in front of her, preventing anyone from grabbing a single hair of hers.

He looked brave and courageous, but Bei Jingchu could see that his symptoms had recurred.

【Why at this time...】

Yan Wei frowned, but cold sweat dripped from the corners of his forehead like rain.

【He can’t hold on any longer.】

"Yan Wei, come down, let me take over."

He didn't listen and continued to harvest wave after wave of locust-like enemies as if he were chopping melons and vegetables.

If you haven't experienced his last attack, you know how painful it is for him.

Bei Jingchu really thought that he was fine and he could still hold on.

"Yan Wei, step back first and take a rest."

He didn't listen.

He continued to swing the knife in his hand.

More enemies fell.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on one knee, but struggled to stand up again.

Bei Jingchu stepped forward, took the knife from Yan Wei's hand, and cleared a space.

Suddenly, the attackers stopped.

A man cursed in an incomprehensible language: "A bunch of rubbish."

"You can't even catch a child. I want to see if this child is from some Tengger."

The crowd made way for him and he walked over.

The Tuning man dressed as a general walked straight towards Bei Jingchu.

Bei Jingchu was breathing heavily. If this man wasn't a good-for-nothing, she wouldn't have had the strength to fight him.

Even if he didn't go into battle himself, Bei Jingchu didn't have the strength to face this protracted war of attrition.

Yan Wei covered his chest and tried to stand up again, but he still couldn't resist the pain in his body.

The Tuning general on the other side stretched out his hand to her and said in the unfamiliar Vietnamese dialect: "Little princess, come to me obediently."

"Come here, I won't hurt you."

He tried to look kind and benevolent in order to seduce the children.

But the ferocious look that had claimed the lives of countless people made his gentle appearance unconvincing.

Bei Jingchu held the long knife in his hand across his neck. Although he was in a weak position, he did not lose his momentum at all.

"You want a living person who can threaten my Aye, but what if it's a corpse?"

The person opposite was stunned and was really frightened by her.

Since the kid had seen through his purpose, there was no need for him to pretend to be a good guy anymore. He revealed his true colors and threatened, "I heard that the people of the Yue Dynasty pay the most attention to being buried in peace. If I whip your corpse, do you think the Emperor of the Yue Dynasty will feel sorry for his daughter? Will your commander-in-chief be concerned?"

Bei Jingchu snorted and laughed: "Sure enough, it's despicable."

"Since you are threatening me and don't want me to die, it proves that I am more useful when I am alive."

"So you can try to see if I dare to cut my own throat."

She was not joking. If she fell into Tu Ning's hands and used it to threaten Yue Chao, she might as well commit suicide now!

General Tu Ning was shocked for a moment. How could a young child be so determined to face death?

Could it be that even the children in the royal family of the Yue Dynasty had unyielding integrity?

He dared not act rashly again.

After calming down for a while, Bei Jingchu heard the incessant and familiar roar not far away.

She was slightly stunned.

[The Vietnamese reinforcements...finally arrived?]

[No wonder more and more soldiers are coming to capture me, even the generals are here.]

Bei Jingchu I tightened my grip on the hilt, and the long knife across my neck became more and more stable.

[Especially at times like this, when the odds are against us, we must not let down our guard.]

【We can’t let the thieves succeed. 】

Her delay paid off, as a dart flew towards the knife in her neck.

Bei Jingchu did not distinguish between friend and foe and raised his sword to block.

But the long knife was dropped from her neck.

Reinforcements gathered from all directions, and Yan Chao quickly squeezed to Bei Jingchu's side.

"Your Highness, I am late...your face?"

【What old things are we talking about now...】

Bei Jingchu stopped her from continuing, "Don't worry about this for now, let's go."

Yan Chao noticed Yan Wei's condition, but knew that now was not the time to talk, so he took his people and escorted Bei Jingchu away first.

Bei Jingchu did not forget to instruct: "Find someone to carry Yan Zhong on his back."

The Vietnamese rescue team dragged their troops and soon escaped the pursuit.

Passing through the city gate, on the city wall, there were portraits of the Ma family’s family members.

A wind-dried corpse.

Of course, it’s not just people from the Ma Mansion, but she only knows people from the Ma Mansion.

It is not difficult to guess that the other corpses are also those of officials’ families.

In Bei Jingchu's imagination, the beast who attacked Xin'er would be killed by her order when Aye came to pick her up and she restored her identity.

Mrs. Ma, whom I only met once, left a deep impression on me. She is a shrewd woman.

Next to her is her aunt who came with her as a dowry.

She also recognized several ladies who had been taught by Nanny Yu.

The corpse was hung on the top of the city wall, exposed to the wind and sun, to scare people.

Whether good or bad.

Under the enemy's iron hoofs, they all became corpses.

When the two armies were engaged in battle, no one cared about them.

They are still hanging there, either to make people feel daunted or to inspire people to fight.
