Chapter 2189 Those who resist will be killed without mercy!
At this critical moment, suddenly, a sharp sound was heard in the air, and a cold light pierced through the rain curtain and hit Wu Wan's wrist.
"ah!"
Her angry shout turned into a scream in an instant.
Zhu Chengxuan even heard the sound of her wrist breaking.
Wu Wan screamed and dropped the knife in her hand. Everyone was shocked. They turned around and saw that countless tall figures suddenly appeared in the dark rain.
They didn't even know when these people appeared.
At this moment, they have been surrounded!
What's going on?
Who are these people?!
Everyone was shocked and hurried to draw their swords to fight, but before they could come to their senses, there was another sharp whooshing sound, and countless arrows turned into cold light, flying towards them in the rain, piercing into the chest of every rebellious soldier!
In an instant, screams were heard everywhere.
Zhu Chengxuan opened his eyes wide and watched the blood gushing out in front of him. Some of the blood even sprayed directly onto his face. The hot blood, with its strong smell of blood, stimulated him to tremble slightly.
At that moment, he almost thought that he was going to die here.
But I didn't expect——
The people in front of me were shot and fell one by one.
The soldiers shouted, "Retreat! Retreat!"
However, it was too late. Countless arrows flew towards them, as dense as rain. They could not avoid the rain from the sky, let alone these cold sharp arrows. Corpses piled on the ground, making it impossible for them to retreat, and they fell down one after another.
At this moment, Zhu Chengxuan suddenly saw Wu Wan covering her injured wrist, shrinking in the crowd, trying to escape.
“Don’t run!”
He gritted his teeth, jumped up from the ground, and rushed in front of her.
The knife in his hand pointed directly at her chest.
"ah!"
Wu Wan screamed in fright and dared not move.
Zhu Chengxuan was panting so hard that his whole body was shaking. But at this moment, he gritted his teeth and placed the tip of the knife against Wu Wan's heart, saying, "Empress Hui, please don't move."
“…”
"I don't want to hurt you, but if you make any moves, I will have no choice but to execute the rebel."
"you……"
Wu Wan also began to tremble.
She had been spoiled since she was little and had never experienced anything like this. Although she knew that even if she survived now, her family would be in turmoil, and she would lead her soldiers to run rampant in the harem and force the imperial concubine to be killed. Sooner or later, she would die, so it would be better to die now, which would be more comfortable.
However, not everyone has the courage to be killed.
Just looking at the knife in front of her that was still dripping with blood against her chest, with the blood staining her body, she was already scared out of her wits.
He trembled and said, "King Wei, you, you must not hurt me."
Zhu Chengxuan gave her a cold look.
On the other side, seeing that most of the soldiers here had already fallen and the remaining ones had to fight desperately, Zhu Chengxuan immediately shouted, "Do you still want to resist? Concubine Hui has been captured by the king, and your Duke Cheng has also been captured. If you continue to resist, you will only die!"
When the soldiers heard him say this, they were shocked.
They had also been active in the harem, and although they knew that the Duke was going to do something big tonight, they had no idea what was happening at the Grand Altar.
Zhu Chengxuan yelled a lot for a while, and when they saw these people appear again, they all thought that Duke Chengguo had really failed and been captured.
Suddenly, I lost the will to resist.
Everyone stood still, not daring to move, and the arrow attacks gradually stopped, and the situation was deadlocked for a while.
Zhu Chengxuan controlled Wu Wan, then turned and looked over there.
They are——
Although he knew that the other party was there to help him and had already put his mind at ease, he was still a little uneasy because the other party had not shown up. He held his breath and carefully watched the countless figures swaying in the dark night.
At this time, a somewhat familiar figure walked out from the rain.
Tall and stern, with a hint of ruthlessness and coldness.
"Your Highness."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Chengxuan immediately opened his eyes wide.
"Commander Li—Commander Li?!"
What he saw was none other than Li Bushang, one of the four commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
He was dressed in black, almost completely blending into the dark night around him. The cold rain hit his face, but he didn't even blink. His whole body exuded an aura colder than the ice rain.
"you--"
Zhu Chengxuan was startled, but when he looked more closely, he saw that behind him were all the Jinyiwei soldiers, each of them wearing black tights, almost completely blending into the night.
It turns out that these are the reinforcements from Yuehua Sect!
It turns out that the people arranged by my father were from the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
But why not let them go directly to Yiku Palace to protect the imperial concubine, but instead send someone to ask for reinforcements?
Could it be that he doesn't want Li Bushang to get close to Yikun Palace?
However, Li Bushang was not rescued from the border by the Imperial Concubine, so he is the most loyal person to the Imperial Concubine.
Zhu Chengxuan was a little confused, but now that the situation was under control, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Bushang had a gloomy face.
He looked at the gate of Yiku Palace which had been burned into ruins. He was already emitting a chill, and now the look in his eyes almost froze into ice.
He came over quickly.
Just prepare to walk into the Yikun Palace.
However, Wei Ying and the others on the side were relatively calm and hurriedly said, "Commander Li, please control the people here. We can't let them cause trouble in the palace again. Also, there are people from them in other palaces. We must arrest them immediately!"
After hearing this, Li Bushang winked at the person behind him.
Immediately, several groups of Jinyiwei rushed towards the six palaces in the east and west.
After all, the Jinyiwei are the emperor's trusted guards. Compared with ordinary soldiers, their combat effectiveness is far superior. If they are sent out, the entire palace will be no problem.
What matters now is—
Li Bushang looked at Wu Wan coldly.
Just now, it was this woman who was clamoring outside the Yikun Palace and threatening to kill the imperial concubine. At this moment, her arrogance had been completely extinguished by the cold rain. She stood there, shivering, as miserable as a drowned dog.
Li Bushang said gloomily, "You can still survive by surrendering."
"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing his words, the other soldiers all dropped their swords and begged for mercy. At this time, Wu Wan no longer dared to be arrogant and said tremblingly: "I, I, please spare me, don't kill me."
Li Bushang gave her a cold look.
At this moment, Wu Wan suddenly felt a hand reaching out from behind and pushing her hard.
"ah!"
She screamed and lunged forward unexpectedly.
Suddenly, Zhu Chengxuan's knife pierced her chest!
