Chapter 1073 Are you going to touch my people?
Zhu Xuan sneered, "What do you think he can do with just a few hundred men?"
As soon as he finished speaking, smoke and dust were seen rising everywhere in the city.
A greater momentum than before was stirring at this moment, and countless men and horses were gathering towards the west city gate. Even though they could not see the actual situation here, they understood by listening to the heavy sound of horse hooves and seeing the gloomy expression on Zhu Xuan's face.
Zhu Xuan was well prepared!
"As for you—"
Zhu Xuan looked at them gloomily and rode his horse forward step by step.
Although Ye Zheng had already brought troops into this place, in order not to attract attention when entering the city, he did not bring many people with him. Just now, Zhu Xuan brought the royal guards from Ning Wang Mansion and chased here. There were still nearly a hundred guards guarding the East Gate.
The number of people here definitely exceeds Ye Zheng's.
Zhu Xuan said, "Since you are determined to protect him, you should be prepared to die for him, right?"
He said, waving his hand.
Suddenly, the people who were chasing them from all directions gathered at this place.
Ye Zheng suddenly felt under great pressure.
Although Zhu Xuan drove all the troops in the city to the west gate, there were still many troops here. You know, Changqing City was originally his base camp. It was indeed unwise to fight him in this place.
At this moment, in front of him were hundreds of troops brought by Zhu Xuan.
Behind him was the tightly closed East City Gate and a hundred or so soldiers guarding the city.
In this way, both the front and the back roads are blocked.
Zhu Xuan was riding on horseback, listening to the sound of horns and the sound of horse hooves behind him, indicating that a fierce battle was going on at the west city gate. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the horseman in front of him.
Ran Xiaoyu, still holding Ye Zheng's hand tightly, sat in his arms.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I have said before, if I let you die quickly and painfully today, it will be considered as my incompetence!"
“…”
"Xiaoyu..."
His eyes looked at the pretty figure, but revealed a rare tenderness.
"If you leave him now and return to this king."
“…”
"This king will still let bygones be bygones."
“…”
"I will not lose a single thing I promised you!"
Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
She still remembered what Zhu Xuan had said to her before. He even promised to give her a coronation ceremony in the future.
At this moment, in the decisive battle at the west gate, if all the troops of Changqing City rushed there, it would be almost impossible for Zhu Feng to win with only a few hundred men around him, even if he was really a god of war.
So in this game, Zhu Xuan is almost certain to win.
And before their eyes—
Seeing that troops were surrounding them from all directions, their way of survival was almost cut off.
Ran Xiaoyu took a deep breath and felt Ye Zheng's hand still tightly wrapped around her waist. She said, "Ye Zheng, let me go."
“……!”
Ye Zheng, who was sitting behind her, shuddered violently.
"Xiaoyu, you——"
"I asked you to let me go."
“…”
Ye Zheng couldn't believe his ears.
But, he looked at the little girl in his arms, thought about it, and let go of her hand.
A smug smile appeared on Zhu Xuan's face.
He said, "That's right. A man who knows the times is a hero. I have already said that I will treat you well. Why do you have to follow—"
He stopped talking midway.
Because he saw that Ran Xiaoyu did not get off the horse after Ye Zheng let go of his hand, but still sat on the horse's back, just bent down and pulled something out of his boots.
It turned out to be a dagger!
She actually hid a dagger in her boot!
Zhu Xuan's face suddenly turned pale!
You know, she is going to marry me today, and she actually hid a dagger in such a close place. What she is going to do is self-evident!
Ran Xiaoyu held the dagger in her hand, raised her finger and pointed at him, saying solemnly: "You want to touch my people? Just try it!"
“…”
"See if I agree!"
These words were like a knife in her hand. Although it was still held in her hand, it had already stabbed deeply into Zhu Xuan's heart.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came, causing Zhu Xuan's body sitting on the horse to tremble slightly.
Ye Zheng, who was sitting behind her, had a look of surprise and disbelief on his face.
What did she say?
She said that she was hers?
He was so ecstatic that he put his arm around Ran Xiaoyu's waist again: "Xiaoyu!"
Although Ran Xiaoyu had a solemn look on her face, she could feel that the man behind her was extremely excited. When he hugged her, his chest rose and fell rapidly, pressing against her back, and the excited heartbeat was transmitted to her body. Her earlobes couldn't help but turn red.
"good!"
At this moment, Zhu Xuan suddenly took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at her.
His eyes were completely cold.
He looked at Ran Xiaoyu with a ruthless determination to rather die than live in disgrace. Since he couldn't get her, he might as well destroy her with his own hands. He raised one hand high, and all the people around him drew their swords from their waists. There was a sharp sound, and suddenly a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.
Zhu Xuan said: "Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace guards behind him roared and rushed forward: "Kill!"
At this moment, Ye Zheng's heart sank.
Although he had been with Zhu Feng and had fought for so many years, he had always been good at fighting cleverly. Fighting hard battles like Zhu Feng was not his strong point. Therefore, he originally planned to use street fighting to consume Zhu Xuan's forces and then find a way to get out of the city.
But now, this plan has fallen through.
At the moment, he had only dozens of men around him, but he had to face hundreds of guards from the palace. Behind him, the soldiers guarding the city had already closed the encirclement and rushed up from behind them.
This is an attack from both sides!
It can be said that it is a life-and-death battle that is impossible to win!
At this moment, Ye Zheng lowered his head and said to Ran Xiaoyu in his arms: "Xiaoyu..."
"Don't say that!"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at the people who had already rushed to the front and said with gritted teeth: "If we have to die, we die together. I'm not afraid!"
“……!”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zheng's heart calmed down.
Yes, don’t be afraid!
If they could really die together, it would be a blessing in disguise for Ye Zheng in this life!
But, we must never be afraid of fighting!
He gritted his teeth, drew his sword from his waist, and shouted to the people around him: "Brothers, even if we really die here in battle today, we must fight for the emperor's life. Killing one will cover our losses, and killing two will be a profit!"
When everyone heard this, they were also excited and shouted loudly: "Kill!"
Then rushed forward.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard a burst of shouting from behind them, and immediately, the city guards who had originally planned to encircle them from behind suddenly let out shrill screams.
Ye Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
Turn around quickly!
