Chapter 1123 Is everything really over?
"Traitor Zhu Xuan, will you surrender or not?!"
The roars were heavier than the last, as if they were suffocating people. Finally, a clanging sound was heard from the crowd.
It was the sound of weapons falling to the ground.
Some people's hands were shaking so much that they couldn't hold their weapons. At this time, they could only drop their swords and kneel down to beg for mercy.
"Don't kill us!"
"Yes, spare me, spare me!"
The soldiers who had just been as ferocious as tigers and killed countless people had now completely lost their confidence and fighting spirit in the face of the general trend, or in other words, in the face of what they saw as "destiny".
More and more people dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Xuan's eyes turned red and almost bled.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You—"
"Your Highness Prince Ning!"
Xu Shifeng didn't let him speak again. He rode his horse slowly forward and said, "Your situation is hopeless. It's best for you to surrender. The Emperor might even show you mercy out of brotherly love."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he emphasized the words "brotherly affection" when he spoke.
When Zhu Xuan heard this, he burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha!”
The surroundings were originally so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. His laughter was even colder than the wind, and it scratched people's ears so much that they felt a little painful.
Zhu Xuan laughed wildly and said, "Brother? I, Zhu Xuan, don't have such a brother!"
As soon as he said this, Xu Shifeng frowned.
Zhu Xuan seemed to have already decided to die. At this moment, he was even more fearless. He swung the sword in his hand backhand, put it on his neck, and pulled it along.
"We in the Zhu family don't have—"
Just as his sword was about to cut his throat and the last words were about to come out, suddenly, a cold light cut through the night sky and hit the sword in his hand with a clang.
Suddenly, the sword flew out of his hand and fell to the ground.
"ah?!"
Zhu Xuan looked at his empty hands in surprise. Before he could react, he felt a very strong force coming at him, and his hand could no longer hold the sword. When he looked down, he even saw that his knuckles were cracked!
It's a dagger!
Zhu Xuan suddenly turned around and looked behind him. Li Bushang looked at him coldly, with one hand stretched forward, and then slowly put it down.
He was the one who stopped me?!
"you--"
Zhu Xuan wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a sharp pain in his throat. He quickly reached out and touched his hand, which was immediately covered in blood.
There was a bloody wound on the neck!
Although the blow just now knocked the long sword out of his hand, the blade was too close to his throat and it still cut the skin on his neck. Although it was not deep, it was an injury and he could not speak!
He was about to say something, but Xu Shifeng was quick to respond and immediately ordered, "Catch the traitor!"
"yes!"
The surrounding soldiers rushed forward like tigers out of a cage, knocked him down in an instant, and quickly tied him up.
The other rebels fell to their knees and dared not move again.
This rebellion ends here!
Nan Yan stood on the city wall, watching this scene, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
The wind was freezing cold, and even though she was dressed warmly, her hands and feet still felt a little cold, and she couldn't help but shiver slightly.
Just as she shuddered, Zhu Feng used a little force on the hand that was holding hers.
Nan Yan looked up at him.
"Is it cold?"
“…”
After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head.
Actually, it’s not cold.
However, thinking back on the whole journey, from Feng Shu drugging Zhu Feng, to the later Prince Yin Jing, the chaos at the Great Sacrifice Altar, and how she was banished to the cold palace, then kidnapped by Zhu Xuan, and followed Jian Ruocheng to the sea, experiencing countless hardships and dangers, and then meeting Zhu Feng again, it was a life-and-death experience.
Today, everything is finally over.
There's a feeling that it's not quite real.
Is everything really over?
Can she and he finally calm down from now on?
Feeling a little confused and helpless in her eyes, Zhu Feng held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to not only pass on his body temperature to her, but also pass on his strength to her.
He said, "Don't be afraid."
These two words and the warmth of his hand made Nan Yan feel a little more real.
All this is really over.
All the storms should have subsided at this moment.
She gave him a small smile: "Yeah."
With you by my side, I'm not afraid.
As the two of them stared at each other, the rebels were being escorted into the city without stopping, while other soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.
A figure quickly entered the city and climbed onto the city wall.
As soon as he stopped, he saw in front of him, two people standing side by side in the biting wind, looking at each other and smiling. Although it was freezing cold, the look they gave each other was as warm as the spring breeze.
My breath was choked.
However, he still walked over immediately and whispered, "Your humble servant greets the emperor, and greets the imperial concubine."
Hearing this voice, Zhu Feng frowned involuntarily.
Nan Yan's mood suddenly brightened. She turned around and saw the familiar tall figure standing before her. She said happily, "No harm, it's really you!"
“…”
"I'm so glad you're okay!"
Li Bushang couldn't help but look up at her.
She can speak now.
Moreover, the haggard look before seemed to be blown away by the wind, and the whole person became lively again.
Just like the first time he saw it.
That warm feeling arose from the depths of his heart as soon as he got close to her, making his whole body, even his hands, warm to the fingertips.
He subconsciously tried to put on a smiling expression.
However, his eyes couldn't help but look at their hands.
Zhu Feng and Si Nanyan, holding hands.
This scene was like a needle piercing his eyes. He immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm fine. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Nan Yan looked at him with a smile.
These days, she really missed him.
He suddenly disappeared from their side, and Zhu Feng refused to say where he went, but it was guessed that he was going to carry out a mission. Considering his identity as the commander of the Jinyiwei, the mission would not be easy.
What's more, the task at hand is to deal with the rebellion of Prince Ning, and his mission is more likely to be dangerous.
Fortunately, he is seen to be safe and sound now.
And we also know that he was going to mobilize troops, and he must have made an agreement with Zhu Feng in advance, which is why he arrived in Hecheng just at sunset today.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "You did a great job."
Although this was a great achievement and he should reward him and praise him, when he saw Nan Yan's excited and happy expression beside him, he couldn't even squeeze out these words.
Nan Yan said happily, "Where did you get so many soldiers? From Peking?"
Li Bushang lowered his head: "No."
"Where is that?"
