Chapter 662 Zhu Feng, he’s here!
Then someone shouted, "Close the city gate!"
What? !
Nan Yan was startled and didn't know what was happening. She only heard the deafening sound of gongs and drums on the city wall.
She subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to hear that not only were there people beating gongs and drums on the tower on this side, but there were also people beating gongs and drums on the tower in the distance.
Her heart suddenly started beating.
She knew that this was the rule for defending the city of Peking.
At the beginning, when Zhu Feng was the King of Yan in Beiping, he was often attacked by the people of Dian. However, because the troops in the city were scattered, it was difficult to gather them all at once.
So he ordered people to set up more than a dozen gongs on the city walls.
Have someone guard it.
As soon as one of the city gates was attacked, a gong would be sounded to give an alarm. When the guarding soldiers on the distant city walls heard it, they would also sound the gong.
In this way, news can spread quickly.
It would take at least a quarter of an hour to ride over from the South City Gate on horseback, but it would only take a moment to sound the alarm with the gong.
At this moment, the warning to close the city gate came from the South Gate!
Who asked these people to close the city gates?
Could it be——
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city in front received orders and immediately moved the large stone pillars on both sides and prepared to close the city gate.
Arslan suddenly understood something and said immediately, "Charge out!"
"yes!"
When the guards outside heard the order, they immediately took it. The coachman in front swung his whip in the air with a loud sound and rushed forward on his horse. This shock made everyone in the carriage fall backwards.
"ah!"
Nan Yan screamed and fell onto the car floor.
But she got up immediately and supported Tong Yuhua beside her.
Their carriages raced forward, and in a moment they had reached the city gate. The soldiers here, upon seeing someone trying to force their way in, hurriedly stopped them and said, "You are not allowed to leave. You—"
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
The carriage did not stop at all and even ran over several soldiers. They screamed and fell under the wheels of the carriage.
The soldiers around immediately became furious that someone dared to break into the city gate.
They immediately realized that something was wrong and that there was something wrong with the convoy, so they immediately surrounded them.
“Stop them!”
"Don't let them run!"
"Stop them!"
When the people of Arslan saw this, they immediately drew their swords and started fighting with the soldiers guarding the city.
Nan Yan was sitting in the carriage, listening to the sound of swords clashing outside, and she was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. The old grandmother in her arms was even more frightened at this time, and Nan Yan hurriedly hugged her in her arms.
"Grandma, don't be afraid!"
As she spoke, she freed one hand and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain.
As soon as I looked out, I saw a soldier being hacked to death and lying on the car with blood all over his face.
"ah!"
Nan Yan screamed in fright.
Outside, the fighting had already broken out into chaos.
Although Arslan brought a lot of people with him, there were even more soldiers defending the city of Peking, especially those guarding the north gate. As a result, they soon fell into a melee.
And the city gate was slowly beginning to close at this moment.
When Arslan saw this, he immediately drew his knife, pushed aside the curtain, and rushed out: "Don't let them close the city gate!"
Upon hearing his order, several soldiers from the Dian Kingdom immediately rushed forward, swung their swords and knocked down the soldiers who were pushing the city gate.
Suddenly, there were screams and blood was flowing everywhere.
The soldiers around were also enraged. They all rushed towards the carriage, and some even came over to open the door.
Arslan jumped off the carriage like a mighty lion, and landed on the ground, shaking the earth.
Those people were shocked.
But immediately, all the soldiers defending the city rushed up, and the spears in their hands stabbed at Arslan. Seeing the cold light approaching, he was not frightened at all. Instead, he turned sideways to avoid the attack, and stretched out his long arms to catch all the spears.
The soldiers were startled and tried to pull out their spears.
But, it can't be shaken!
They were suddenly panicked and even forgot to let go. They were just foolishly restrained by him.
Arslan swung the knife with his right hand.
Suddenly, a scream was heard and blood dyed the sky red.
Arslan chopped down several people in succession with one move. He was covered in blood and looked like a messenger from hell.
Nan Yan was also shocked when she saw this scene.
In the past, although she knew that Arslan was from the country of Neng, that he was the King of Nanli who was in charge of the army, and even that he had fought with Zhu Feng on the battlefield, because he always looked peaceful when he appeared in front of her, she had gotten used to him being like that.
But now, she understood.
This is the true face of this man.
Seeing him swinging his sword and killing several soldiers in succession, Nan Yan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Arslan, stop!"
There was shouting and screaming all around, and her voice was easily drowned out.
But Arslan heard it.
His head was covered in blood, and he turned around to look at Nan Yan.
That gaze seemed to be stained with blood.
Nan Yan said: "You are not allowed to kill anyone again!"
“…”
"If you kill someone again, I will go back immediately!"
When he heard her say this, the knife in Arslan's hand stopped for a moment, and at this moment, a soldier next to him rushed up waving a long sword.
Arslan's eyes turned red, he rolled over to avoid the sword, and then swung the knife with his backhand.
"ah--!"
Another shrill scream.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and saw that the soldier's hand was cut off and he fell to the ground and rolled over.
Arslan came back immediately and stepped into the carriage.
"you--"
"I didn't kill him!"
Tong Yuhua looked at the man with blood all over his head and face, and listened to the sounds of swords and screams outside. She almost fainted. Nan Yan could only hug her tightly.
At this moment, there was another sound of gongs and drums from the city wall.
Someone was shouting, "Close the city gates!"
"The Emperor has issued an order, close the city gates!"
Nan Yan's heart suddenly started beating.
emperor!
It’s Zhu Feng, he’s really here!
At this moment, she didn't even know whether she was sad or happy, she just subconsciously looked towards the window, but at this moment, a bloody hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to his side.
"Don't move!"
Arslan's voice rang out, and he said in a deep voice, "Drive the carriage out of the city immediately. There are people waiting outside!"
"yes!"
When the driver heard this, he took advantage of the fact that no one was closing the gate and hurriedly waved his whip and drove the carriage forward.
The carriage began to shake violently again.
Nan Yan was caught off guard and her head hit the car window next to her, but at that moment, she suddenly saw a horseman and a rider galloping towards them on the road behind the carriage.
