Chapter 2193 You Can’t Die
Xu Shifeng rushed over, but it was too late. He yelled, "Stop him!"
Immediately, the soldiers outside the wall and the people behind him all rushed forward.
But this horse was very flexible, and the man on it was even more skilled in horsemanship. He held the reins tightly in his hands, turned left and right, and actually avoided the obstruction of these people perfectly. After a while, he rushed to the door, and saw another row of people rushing up in front of him, blocking him directly.
"drive!"
The man let out a low cry and rushed forward on his horse.
Just when he was about to hit the wall of people, he squeezed the horses' bellies with his legs, and the dark and strong horses immediately jumped up, flew directly over the heads of those people, and galloped away.
Soon, the dark horses and figures disappeared in the rain.
When Xu Shifeng caught up, he only saw the heavy rain falling as the figure melted into the night. He shouted, "Close the doors! Close all the doors immediately!"
When his men heard this, they hurriedly struck their swords.
The sound of the golden bell was the order for the army to retreat and close the gates. The sound spread in the rainy night and floated throughout the entire altar.
From far away, you can even hear the rumbling sound of the door closing.
Xu Shifeng stood in the rain, his eyes bloodshot.
At this moment, Zhu Feng had already walked down from the altar.
Just now, the imperial physician came and took the queen away. Accompanied by Concubine Shun, she immediately returned to the palace.
And he walked over slowly.
Upon seeing him, Xu Shifeng quickly knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "This humble official deserves death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng gave him a serious look.
He said nothing, not even angry.
But his face was frighteningly pale.
He turned around and walked step by step towards Ye Zheng, who had fallen to the ground. The pool of rainwater beneath him was completely dyed red with blood.
His footsteps have never been so heavy.
It seemed as if he had stepped on his heart, and even as he got closer and closer to Ye Zheng, his steps became so heavy that he could hardly move forward.
At this moment, Ye Zheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.
Zhu Feng's heart also jumped with his movement. He took a big step and walked directly in front of him. He saw Ye Zheng slowly opening his eyes.
His face was a mess of rain and blood.
And that arrow—
It actually pierced his shoulder!
"Ye Zheng!"
Zhu Feng hurriedly squatted down and picked him up.
With this movement, Ye Zheng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and then choked and coughed for a long time, as if he had come back to life.
He was panting, his teeth unable to grit due to the pain, and he slowly turned his head to look at his shoulder.
“This, this is——”
The arrow just now.
Because Ye Zheng had his back to the altar and was escorting Wu Yingqiu out, when he saw the arrow hit him and he fell to the ground, Zhu Feng thought he had...
It turned out that the arrow only hit his shoulder.
But because of the momentary severe pain and the powerful force of the arrow, which shot him directly to the ground, he thought he had already—
At this moment, Zhu Feng's heart seemed to have fallen into the abyss and suddenly risen again. The ups and downs in a moment made his blood almost coagulate. He gritted his teeth and said in a voice that made it hard to tell what emotion was in it: "Okay, okay!"
"fine……?"
Ye Zheng said with a sad face: "It hurts so much."
Hearing him say this, Zhu Feng was both angry and amused.
At this time, he didn't even have time to think about Wu Yingqiu being rescued, let alone who the man on horseback was.
He just said, "It doesn't matter if it hurts like hell."
“…”
"I'm glad you're okay."
“…”
Hearing this, although Ye Zheng was in great pain, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he looked up at Zhu Feng.
But the rain was pouring down and the emperor was completely soaked.
There were some water droplets dripping down along his hair and eyelashes, which seemed to be cold and hot at the same time.
Think back to that moment just now.
Ye Zheng asked, "Your Majesty thought...I am dead?"
Zhu Feng looked at him for a long moment before saying, "You can't die."
“…”
"You have to stay with me for a long time."
“…”
"The people around me can't leave anymore."
He said this in a low and dull voice, with an indescribable emotion. Ye Zheng looked into his deep eyes and was speechless for a moment.
That moment just now was indeed too dangerous.
He only saw the arrow streaking across the night sky like a meteor and hitting him, and he thought he was doomed.
But I didn't expect——
He murmured, "But it's strange, that person...why didn't he kill me?"
If you say, miss...
That's impossible.
That man's skills were such that he could ride a horse into the great altar. With such skills, it was impossible for him to miss an arrow.
If he said that he didn't want to be shot in the vital parts just to save people, but he was so close to me, if he hadn't been shot and fell to the ground, and hadn't fainted at that moment, he would most likely have stood up and resisted.
Wouldn't that hinder that person's plan to save people?
Hearing him say this, Zhu Feng's breath sank a little.
But, he just said: "Don't think about that."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and said, "Come here, help Ye Zheng down and treat his injuries immediately!"
"yes!"
Just as several soldiers came forward to help Ye Zheng, several more embarrassed soldiers came running up to them, stumbled in front of them, half-knelt and said, "Your Majesty! General, that, that person——"
Xu Shifeng's face turned pale: "How?!"
"That person ran away."
"What, ran away?!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shifeng flew into a rage and rushed to them. "Didn't I tell you to close the gates? All the gates are guarded. Where did they escape from?"
"Yes, he ran from the corner gate in the northeast corner."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shifeng frowned.
The northeast corner gate?
That place was a small door that Prince Ning had left in the northeast corner of the altar when he was plotting a rebellion, in order to allow his troops to enter and exit. Later, Prince Ning's conspiracy failed, and the door naturally became useless.
So, all along, that door has been closed.
This time, in order to hold a memorial ceremony for the late emperor and capture Duke Cheng's men, he specially arranged troops in various places.
But I didn't expect——
Xu Shifeng's heart sank, but at this point, it was too late to curse.
He immediately said, "Send people after them immediately. They will definitely leave the city immediately. Go and bring them back immediately. We absolutely cannot let them leave the city!"
"yes!"
The soldiers immediately turned and ran out.
Xu Shifeng turned to look at Zhu Feng again: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng was not angry.
In the rain, his face was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.
