As soon as Feiyang asked the question, he had vaguely guessed the meaning of Chu Feiyang's words. Coupled with the previous conversation between Chu Feiyang and Qi Jingyuan, Rong Yunhe further confirmed his thoughts.
However, understanding it in his heart was one thing, but Rong Yunhe still didn't understand why Chu Feiyang insisted on doing this. He frowned and asked, "Does the prince want to entrust the princess to me?"
The word "I" represents the relationship between both parties as friends!
Chu Feiyang's expression was solemn, his dark pupils as vast as the starry sky, making it impossible to guess what was hidden within. It was only after hearing Rong Yunhe's question that the hand that was gently turning the teacup paused slightly, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, outlining a faint smile, and then nodded, and finally spoke, "Qi Jingyuan is willing to join forces with me this time, mostly for your sister. But as the crown prince of Northern Qi, how could he not have the ambition to unify the world? Letting Meng'er seek refuge in Northern Qi, to be honest, even I don't know if it's right or wrong! All I can bet on is Qi Jingyuan's true love for your sister. But if he attacks Meng'er behind your sister's back, I'm afraid I'm powerless in Western Chu. Since he is willing to take you to Northern Qi, I can only selfishly ask that you take good care of Meng'er during your time in Northern Qi."
After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. He raised the long handkerchief in front of his knees with his right hand and was about to kneel down towards Rong Yunhe...
"No... Your Highness, no..." Rong Yunhe was shocked and quickly stood up and held Chu Feiyang's arm, helping him up before Chu Feiyang knelt down. However, he was shocked in his heart by Chu Feiyang's action.
"The Rong family has been able to survive safely to this day thanks to the prince's repeated assistance. Furthermore, the princess and I are friends, and helping each other is only natural. Your Highness, there's really no need for you to do this." Without complete trust in Yun Qianmeng and himself, no one else would have the confidence and fortitude to entrust his wife's comfort to another. For this reason alone, Rong Yunhe was filled with admiration for Chu Feiyang.
Seeing Rong Yunhe's assurance, Chu Feiyang nodded silently. The two sat facing each other for a while before they heard Chu Feiyang continue, "The war is approaching. Regardless of victory or defeat, once the city gates are opened, I will send someone to take you to Jincheng. You and Meng'er will then return to Northern Qi with Qi Jingyuan's Northern Qi army. The journey is long and dangerous, so be careful."
Knowing that Chu Feiyang had already arranged all the routes and things, Rong Yunhe nodded silently. The two of them sat in silence for a while before seeing Chu Feiyang stand up and leave the tent...
"Your Highness, everyone is here." Xi Lin had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, holding a lantern in his hand, but the dim light could only illuminate a few inches around him.
Chu Feiyang's face was stern as he nodded indifferently, then he led Xi Lin towards the commander's tent...
The next day, it was snowing heavily and extremely cold. The north wind kept hitting the window frames, and long icicles had formed on the eaves.
"What's the situation outside?" That day, Yun Qianmeng felt that her mind was not as calm as before in analyzing things. Her bloated body kept pacing back and forth in the room, asking about the situation in Muchun City from time to time.
"Princess." At this time, Qiao Ying rushed in dressed in snow. With her arrival, a chill rushed into the warm inner room.
Yun Qianmeng suddenly stopped moving and turned to look at Qiao Ying. With a hint of anxiety in her eyes, she asked hurriedly, "How is it?"
Qiao Ying didn't even bother brushing off the snowflakes as she immediately replied, "There are some unusual things happening both inside and outside the city. We just received news that over a hundred people have died from poisoning, leaving many residents terrified. Looking up at the city tower from a distance, I can sense that the defenders are on high alert. The atmosphere is truly eerie."
"Let's go up to the city wall and take a look." Yun Qianmeng was still feeling uneasy. She glanced at the heavy white snow falling outside the window, and walked towards the door while supporting her bulging belly.
Seeing this, Mu Chun immediately took the thick cotton jacket beside her and put it on Yun Qianmeng, then took out the cloak she had made and put it on Yun Qianmeng, and then carefully helped Yun Qianmeng out of the room.
"Princess, it's cold outside, you should go back to your room and rest. If anything happens, I will report to you as soon as possible." Qiao Ying, who was guarding the door, saw Yun Qianmeng come out, and immediately walked to the other side of Yun Qianmeng to support her, and spoke in a low voice.
"That's not necessary. The doctor also said that walking more is good for the child. Let's go and see how heavy this year's first snow is." Yun Qianmeng smiled calmly, and her smile carried Yun Qianmeng's unique determination, which made people indulge in her smile.
When the group walked out of the inn, they saw a thin layer of white snow on the ground. The street, which used to be bustling with people, was now very deserted, which made people feel very sad.
Seeing Qiao Ying turn around and go drive, Yun Qianmeng reached out to stop her. With a faint smile on her lips, she slowly said, "It's not far. Let's walk there."
After saying that, Yun Qianmeng walked down the stairs first, and walked towards the city wall with Mu Chun step by step.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Ying immediately opened the yellow oil-paper umbrella in her hand and rushed into the heavy snow. She quickly walked to Yun Qianmeng's side and blocked the white snow from her head.
Along the way, you will encounter people running towards the city gate. All of their faces are filled with panic and fear. The crying of children is mixed in with the various shouts, making people feel even more panicked and uneasy.
Yun Qianmeng and the other two ignored everyone else and, avoiding the fleeing civilians, stepped onto the city wall. They discovered that Dong Jin had personally led all of Jincheng's garrison troops and secret guards, standing in formation, solemnly watching the movements below.
Yun Qianmeng suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she immediately turned her gaze to the outside of the city wall, only to find that in the snowstorm, the three armies had already deployed their troops and were ready to go.
In such a tense atmosphere, it's no wonder that Dong Jin also became nervous and worried.
The wind and snow blurred people's vision, making it even more difficult to distinguish the three armies. All they could hear was a burst of rapid drumming. The three armies, which had been motionless, suddenly became a mess and started fighting...
Yun Qianmeng strode forward, placing her hands on the city wall. She strained to keep her eyes open, staring intently at the generals of the three armies caught in the snow. Her heart instantly raced, and she unconsciously pinched the accumulated snow on the wall with her hands...
"Princess, be careful. Although this place is still some distance away from the battlefield, arrows are flying everywhere. It would be bad if they accidentally hurt you. Princess, please come back with me quickly." Qiao Ying saw Yun Qianmeng rushing forward without caring about her own safety, although he knew that the princess was worried about the prince.
But arrows were flying everywhere and the princess was pregnant, which made Qiao Ying's heart rise. She hurriedly stuffed the umbrella in her hand into Mu Chun's hand and quickly stood by Yun Qianmeng to prevent the arrows from hurting Yun Qianmeng.
This was the first time Yun Qianmeng had seen a war scene. In the era of cold weapons, millions of people used their flesh and blood to resist the flash of swords and sabers. Warm red blood was spilled on the white snow, and young lives were lost in the cold swords. Looking around, the white snow was filled with broken limbs and arms. The shocking red color made people terrified.
What made Yun Qianmeng even more nervous was who on the battlefield was Chu Feiyang. Her usually calm and composed eyes were now filled with worry. With eyes filled with worry, she looked around, searching for the handsome figure in her heart...
At this time, no one knew who gave the order, but in the chaos, thousands of people raised arrows with flames tied to them and aimed at the city wall of Jincheng.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all the rockets flew towards the city wall, forming a huge fire net that covered the entire city wall.
"Princess, be careful..." Qiao Ying snatched the oil-paper umbrella from Mu Chun's hand in an instant and held it in front of Yun Qianmeng. She quickly spun the oil-paper umbrella with both hands to shoot down the flying rockets, while she and Mu Chun protected Yun Qianmeng and quickly retreated.
Yun Qianmeng carefully protected her belly with both hands. Under the protection of Qiao Ying and the secret guards, she hurried down to the city wall...
However, the enemy's arrows were too numerous, and by this point, the entire city of Jincheng had become a sea of fire, with houses ablaze everywhere. Many people who had been hiding in their homes were forced to run out, but as soon as they stepped out of the eaves, they were hit by streaks of arrows, and their lives were lost in vain.
Under the protection of everyone, Yun Qianmeng hurried back to the inn and temporarily avoided this wave of danger. However, her face was extremely pale and ugly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her hands, which were originally protecting her abdomen, were now tightly grabbing her dress, and her expression seemed to be very painful.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you frightened?" Mu Chun was frightened when she saw Yun Qianmeng's expression was not right. She could only help the trembling Yun Qianmeng lie down on the bed for a while, then turned around and ran out of the room to tell Qiao Ying to go and call a doctor immediately.
Yun Qianmeng only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and her skirt seemed to be a little wet.
Yun Qianmeng felt something was wrong and didn't dare to move her body anymore. She endured the abdominal pain and lay on the bed, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, letting the sweat on her face wet her hair.
After hearing Mu Chun's words, Qiao Ying was about to rush out of the inn, but she heard Yun Qianmeng's voice calling her softly from inside.
Qiao Ying could only stop and quickly rush to the bedside. Half-crouching beside the bed, she looked at the extremely weak Yun Qianmeng with concern. Her voice was extremely gentle, for fear of frightening Yun Qianmeng, "What are your instructions, Princess?"
"Don't send any signals to Feiyang. Don't let him know my condition, and don't let him be distracted." Yun Qianmeng endured the severe pain and raised her upper body. She stared at Qiao Ying and instructed Qiao Ying word by word.
After hearing this, Qiao Ying's eyes became moist, and she had a breath stuck in her throat that she couldn't breathe out or swallow. This made her usually calm mood become extremely uncomfortable, indescribably uncomfortable.
"Did you hear that?" A pale hand suddenly grabbed Qiao Ying's hand on her knee with such force that Qiao Ying felt pain.
Nodding with difficulty, Qiao Ying choked up and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely obey your orders."
Seeing that Qiao Ying agreed to her request, Yun Qianmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and gradually let go of the hand that was holding Qiao Ying. Her whole body lay back on the bedding as if exhausted. Her pale face formed a sharp contrast with her inky black hair. She looked so weak that it seemed as if she would disappear at any time, which made her heart ache.
Qiao Ying pursed her lips tightly and instantly closed her eyes to prevent Yun Qianmeng from noticing the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. She suddenly stood up, turned around, and rushed out of the inn, looking for a doctor on the street.
Mu Chun also hurried back to the inner room, wrung out a towel from the copper basin, and came to the bedside to wipe the sweat off Yun Qianmeng's face. While crying, she comforted Yun Qianmeng, "Princess, please be patient for a while. Qiao Ying has already gone to call a doctor..."
But those trembling hands betrayed Mu Chun's mood at the moment. Seeing Yun Qianmeng's increasingly pale face, Mu Chun's heart was in a state of panic. He could only hold back the sobs that were about to burst out of his lips, and wiped the sweat off Yun Qianmeng with red eyes.
Although her abdomen was in extreme pain, Yun Qianmeng's mind was extremely clear. She knew that if she moved at this moment, the situation would only get worse. She bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth to endure the pain, and waited quietly for Qiao Ying to come back.
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's clothes soaked with sweat, Mu Chun was worried that Yun Qianmeng might catch a cold again. He immediately stood up and walked to the window, closed all the windows, and added a lot of charcoal to the brazier in the inner room. Then he turned back to the bed and took the quilt from the inside of the bed, intending to cover Yun Qianmeng with it...
"Ah..." Unexpectedly, just as she was about to cover Yun Qianmeng's body with the quilt, Mu Chun discovered that the originally light blue sheets were stained with red plum blossoms, and this bright red color actually came from Yun Qianmeng's lower body.
For a moment, Mu Chun was completely stunned, not knowing what to do. When Yun Qianmeng fled the capital, the baby was still very young, and the midwife in the prime minister's residence hadn't had time to teach Mu Chun the basics of childbirth. Now, faced with this situation, Mu Chun felt like she had been struck by lightning, and was instantly at a loss. Tears gradually welled up in her red and swollen eyes...
At this moment, a hand covered with cold sweat covered the back of Mu Chun's hand, and a weak but firm voice came out, "Don't be afraid, I just walked too fast and my fetus got disturbed. I'll be fine after a rest."
Hearing this, Mu Chun lowered his head to look at Yun Qianmeng, only to find that Yun Qianmeng's face was pale, almost as white as paper. Her originally rosy lips had been bitten by her until they were bleeding, and her hair was all wet with cold sweat and stuck to her cheeks. She looked extremely miserable.
Mu Chun's tears almost burst out the moment she saw Yun Qianmeng like this, but she clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.
Besides, the princess was still comforting herself in such a painful situation, and Mu Chun couldn't let the princess worry about her.
Forcefully suppressing the sadness in her heart, Mu Chun raised her arm to wipe the tears from her face. With a faint smile, she carefully covered Yun Qianmeng with the quilt and spoke softly to her, "Don't worry, Princess. The child will be fine. I will definitely stay here with you. I believe Qiao Ying will be back with the doctor soon. Please be patient for a while."
Yun Qianmeng saw the panic on Mu Chun's brow gradually dissipate, and she felt relieved. She couldn't help but reveal a tired but extremely strong smile. She nodded to Mu Chun with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll close my eyes for a while. If anything happens outside, report to me immediately."
After she finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng slowly closed her eyes to rest, but her brows, which had been originally calm, were now slightly furrowed. It seemed that she was resting only because she didn't want Mu Chun to worry about her.
Mu Chun pulled the quilt up to Yun Qianmeng's shoulders and gently tucked the corners of the quilt for her, but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he sat by the bed and quietly watched over Yun Qianmeng.
At this time, Jincheng was in chaos. Because the enemy used fire attacks, many people hiding in their homes were driven out.
The streets were filled with panicked civilians, and every ten steps they took they would step on the body of a civilian killed by rockets.
Qiao Ying left the remaining thirty or so secret guards to protect Yun Qianmeng, and ran out of the inn alone, heading towards the clinic...
However, the streets were filled with terrified civilians running toward the city gates. Qiao Ying, walking in the opposite direction, couldn't help but slow down. Thinking of the princess waiting at the inn, Qiao Ying was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only use her hands to push aside the people who occasionally blocked her path and run forward desperately. At the same time, rockets from the sky fell like a heavy snow, forcing Qiao Ying to dodge the enemy's attacks while moving forward.
When she arrived at the door of the clinic, sweating profusely, she found that a raging fire had already broken out inside and outside the clinic, and the doctor inside was lying dead.
Qiao Ying's heart suddenly sank and her expression suddenly became ugly, but she did not give up hope. She hurriedly turned around and ran towards another clinic.
But just as she walked out of an alley, she was met by a group of assassins wielding long swords...
Not daring to relax at all, Qiao Ying immediately drew out the long sword in his hand, but his mind was constantly wondering where these killers came from.
The princess and General Dong had already secured Jincheng like an ironclad fortress. Aside from the poisoning incident, Jincheng had been relatively safe for over a month. If her suspicions were correct, these assassins were likely the same ones who had poisoned the water a few days ago. They hadn't left immediately after poisoning the water, but had instead been hiding near various clinics, waiting for their chance to strike. Her presence at the clinic to seek medical attention had already exposed her whereabouts. If they could find the princess's hiding place, she would be in even greater danger.
However, if I were to fight against hundreds of powerful assassins alone, I'm afraid I'd only end up dead...
Thinking of this, Qiao Ying suddenly raised her head and looked around. Before the killer could get close to her, she turned and ran towards the water source...
At this time, outside Jincheng, the three armies were in a melee...
There were sounds of fighting and shouting from all directions outside the city, and the most eye-catching were the thousands of archers who shot long arrows into the city continuously. From a distance, the city was already engulfed in flames. The cries for help, one louder than the other, sounded extremely harsh amid the bloodshed and were heartbreaking.
Chu Feiyang, wearing armor and holding a long sword, personally led the army to rush towards the gate of Jincheng. Whenever he saw a soldier who was not in the uniform of the Chu King Army, he would swing his long sword.
In just a blink of an eye, Chu Feiyang's armor was stained with blood, and even the collar of his clothes was bright red.
But at this moment, Chu Feiyang was worried about Yun Qianmeng in the city, and he only wanted to rush to the city gate as soon as possible. His face, which always had a gentle smile, was now filled with sinisterness, and his calm eyes were filled with deep worry and anxiety. Thinking of the dangers Yun Qianmeng might encounter, Chu Feiyang swung the sword in his hand even faster.
However, Chu Feiyang's goal was too obvious. How could the people of King Chen and King Hai let him reach the city gate easily?
After Chu Feiyang killed all the enemies blocking his way, countless enemies came up from all directions, forcing Chu Feiyang to stop moving forward and stay where he was to kill the enemies and protect himself.
"Kill Chu Feiyang for me." Jiang Muchen was furious when he saw Chu Feiyang rushing forward so recklessly, and once again commanded a team of 10,000 people to rush towards Chu Feiyang.
Jiang Muchen ignored Ning Feng's dissuasion and got on the horse, drew out the long sword in his hand and hit the horse's back hard, rushing towards Chu Feiyang.
"Finally I have lured both of you out. I will annihilate you in one fell swoop and save myself from going around in circles with you. If Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen are killed, I will appoint him as the general who protects the country!" Hai Quan also went into battle personally, tightening the reins with one hand and holding the long sword with the other, pointing the tip of the sword to the sky as he shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him. Then, Hai Quan slapped the horse's body with his sword-holding hand and rushed towards the gate of Jincheng.
And there will always be brave men under great rewards. Hai Quan's words of reward immediately boosted the morale of countless Sea King soldiers. The Sea King soldiers who were originally scattered everywhere immediately rushed towards Jiang Muchen and Chu Feiyang, and the situation instantly became tense.
"Go and protect the prince quickly. Don't let him get hurt at all." Seeing that Chu Feiyang was besieged by tens of thousands of people, and King Chen and King Hai also joined the war in person, Xi Lin's heart suddenly lifted. He immediately ordered his soldiers to go and support Chu Feiyang.
Chu Feiyang chopped off a soldier's head and suddenly looked up to see Jiang Muchen running towards him with a sword in hand. A cruel sneer appeared on his lips, and he uttered a cold and chilling word in a very light voice, "You're looking for death!"
Chu Feiyang pulled the reins in his hand and faced Jiang Muchen directly, with no intention of avoiding him at all.
"Gee!" With a clear whistle, the warhorse under him already knew his master's intention and suddenly kicked off, galloping towards Jiang Muchen...
'Dang...' The two swords collided with each other, making a crisp but slightly harsh sound, and the sparks they sparked were brief but dazzling.
Their eyes met, and both of them were filled with great anger and unyielding stubbornness.
But this time, neither of them was in the mood to bicker. Success or failure depended on this one move, so why would they waste time and energy talking?
Moreover, there was a Sea King hidden in the chaos of the three armies. This meant that the two of them had to fight quickly and decisively, and they must not let Hai Quan take advantage.
"Swish, swish, swish..." But at this moment, a burst of arrows shot through the air, causing the two men to stop fighting at the same time.
"Hai Quan is a madman." Looking at the Sea King's army shooting arrows into the city again, Jiang Muchen hurriedly stopped attacking Chu Feiyang and started to curse. The gloom on his face faded away in an instant, replaced by unprecedented anxiety.
Although Chu Feiyang didn't say anything, his worry was just as great as Jiang Muchen's. He pursed his lips tightly and half-closed his eyes as he watched the figure of the Sea King running closer and closer to the city gate. Chu Feiyang had no intention of fighting with Jiang Muchen here, and he instantly rushed out like an arrow...
By the time Jiang Muchen came to his senses, Chu Feiyang had already run a full thirty feet away.
"Damn Chu Feiyang." With a low curse, Jiang Muchen followed closely, chasing Chu Feiyang's figure, but his angry and gloomy eyes looked through Chu Feiyang to Hai Quan who was about to reach the city gate. An indelible murderous intent instantly surged in his heart.
The sounds of killing and shouting outside the city filled the entire empty sky and earth, while the people trapped inside the city were also wailing.
Forced by the fire attack with nowhere to escape, the people wanted to open the city gates and escape. Everyone rushed to the city gates and tried to open them on their own regardless of the obstruction of the state garrison.
General Dong Jin, standing atop the city wall, had a clear view of the battle. The enemy's use of fire was intended to force the civilians inside to revolt, allowing them to easily break into the city. Furthermore, the civilians had already gathered at the city gates, and a significant portion of the city's defense force had already been diverted simply to deal with them. If it weren't for the support of the King of Chu's army outside the city, Jincheng would have been breached long ago.
Once this city gate is opened, not only will the people be unable to escape, but they will probably be slaughtered by the enemy troops waiting outside, and the people and even the garrison troops in the city will also suffer from the enemy's massacre.
Thinking of this, Dong Jin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, and he dared not imagine the scene after the city was broken.
"Send another 10,000 people to guard the city gates. If anyone dares to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble again, they will be executed on the spot." Extraordinary times call for extraordinary treatment. Dong Jin's face was grim, and he immediately gave orders to the deputy general beside him.
"Yes, General." The deputy general saw that there was a commotion below the city wall and the people had begun to attack the garrison troops who were trying to stop them from opening the city gate. He immediately led several guards down to arrange everything.
'Boom...' But before Dong Jin could get closer to the city wall to observe the situation outside, a loud noise came from the city gate under his feet, and then the ground under his feet shook a few times, which made Dong Jin's calm heart sink suddenly.
Everyone instantly realized at this moment that the enemy was attacking the city gate...
"Archers, prepare! Release your arrows immediately. No one is allowed to climb the tower. An additional 30,000 guards are stationed below. Drive all civilians into the city walls and prevent them from causing any disturbances. Everyone, alert yourselves! Our mission now is to defend Jincheng and prevent the enemy from entering. Otherwise, everyone will die." Dong Jin shouted, rapidly delivering orders. But when he spoke the last sentence, his voice became deep, cold, and tinged with murderous intent, instantly drawing the soldiers' utmost attention and focusing their full attention on the unprecedented battle before them...
"Boom..." The chariots of the Sea King's army kept hitting the thick city gate, making bursts of loud noises.
Although Dong Jin had already ordered the soldiers to carry two extremely thick tree trunks to prop up the door to resist the impact of the chariot.
However, the Sea King Army had already made preparations and even asked the soldiers attacking the city to sign a military order, swearing that if they did not capture Jincheng, they would bring their heads to them. It was obvious that the soldiers would fight to the death to break down the city gates for the sake of their lives.
The deafening noises not only hurt everyone's eardrums, but also struck hard on people's hearts.
The people who had been clamoring for the city gate to be opened suddenly changed their expressions and all their voices disappeared in an instant when they saw with their own eyes that the sturdy city gate became precarious under the repeated impact.
Everyone watched in horror as two of the three thick wooden bolts behind the door had broken. They immediately turned and ran back into the city, searching for a place to hide...
Dong Jin was overwhelmed for a while. He had to command the garrison troops on the city wall to fight, and keep a close eye on the situation at the city gate. He kept running back and forth, his mind and eyes full of how to protect Jincheng and how to protect the people of the entire city, but he ignored his own safety.
'Squeak...' Unexpectedly, when Dong Jin turned around and ran up to the city wall again, he was hit in the shoulder by a stray arrow.
"General..." The deputy general who followed closely behind was horrified. He immediately reached out to support Dong Jin's body from behind as he fell down the stairs. Only then did he realize that the long arrow had pierced Dong Jin's entire shoulder.
"Stop yelling." Dong Jin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but his expression was as calm and solemn as ever, without a trace of pain between his brows.
But he saw that he grabbed the long arrow left on his shoulder with his right hand and twisted it hard, breaking the long arrow. Then he said to the deputy general, "Pull out the long arrow from the back."
"General..." The deputy general was horrified, but he disagreed with Dong Jin's approach. Even though the arrowhead was already outside the body, forcibly pulling it out would cause the injured person unspeakable pain. Moreover, the general was old and probably couldn't bear such pain.
"Don't waste time, hurry." Dong Jin suddenly became angry at the deputy general. The stern look in his eyes shocked the deputy general. He could only raise his hand to grasp the arrow shaft behind Dong Jin, close his eyes and pull it back violently...
"Puff..." A column of blood sprayed onto the gray city wall as the arrow shaft was pulled out. The deputy general quickly tore off a piece of clean cotton cloth from the lining under the armor and bandaged Dong Jin hastily.
However, without the help of herbal medicine, the white bandage that had just been bandaged was instantly stained red with blood.
The deputy general's eyes were filled with anxiety as he watched the general, who ignored his injuries and insisted on going up to the city wall, and he followed behind him and advised earnestly, "General, you should let the military doctor bandage you first. If you continue like this, your body..."
But before the deputy general could finish his words, Dong Jin suddenly turned around, looked at him calmly, and said in a steady voice, "You must not tell anyone about my injury. I'm sure you know what it means to have a general injured."
After saying this, Dong Jin stopped talking and turned around to join the battle again...
Under the city wall, Neptune mobilized 20,000 people to entangle Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen, and he personally led the army to attack Jincheng.
The generals of the three armies immediately led their troops to protect their respective commanders and at the same time seized Jincheng. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The heavy snow was still falling from the sky, but the ground was already a river of blood. The smell of blood in the air was like purgatory on earth, making people tremble with fear.
Even within the outermost camp of the King of Chu, one could still hear the deafening cries of battle. The constant pounding of drums never ceased, and watching the endless stream of soldiers being carried into the camp, Rong Yunhe, even without being on the battlefield himself, could still imagine the intensity of the battle.
"How is the battle going on at the front?" Rong Yunhe grabbed a military doctor who was busy stopping the bleeding of a soldier and asked anxiously in his eyes.
The military doctor's body was already splattered with the soldiers' blood. He was anxious to treat the soldiers, so he quickly answered Rong Yunhe's questions, "The prince is in danger. Prince Chen and Prince Hai are both against the prince. The prince also has to take care of Jincheng, and now he is besieged by tens of thousands of troops. This time is too dangerous..."
Hearing this, Rong Yunhe's mind suddenly fluttered, his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but run towards the battlefield...
At this moment, a strong and powerful hand grabbed Rong Yunhe's injured left arm. The intense pain immediately woke Rong Yunhe up. He turned to look at the owner of the hand, but saw Qi Jingyuan standing beside him with a stern expression.
"Where are you going?" Qi Jingyuan's voice was cold and indifferent, but it also carried an authority that was impossible to disobey.
"You know!" Rong Yunhe endured the severe pain in his arm and answered Qi Jingyuan's question in a deep voice.
"Hmph! There are millions of people fighting on the battlefield right now. If you go over there, it will only mean one more life. Why bother yourself to lose your composure?" Unexpectedly, Rong Yunhe's truthful answer caused Qi Jingyuan to laugh at him.
Hearing the sarcasm in Qi Jingyuan's words, Rong Yunhe frowned slightly and asked, "Prince, you have experienced this feeling before. Why mock others? Besides, to the north is Northern Qi. The King of Chu's defeat will not benefit Northern Qi in the slightest."
After hearing what Rong Yunhe said, Qi Jingyuan instantly put away the mockery in his eyes, and instead stared at Rong Yunhe with a thoughtful look, who was enduring the severe pain without changing his expression. After a long while, he slowly let go of his hand.
"I only joined forces with Chu Feiyang for Rong'er. Now that Rong'er's great revenge has been taken, do you think that with Chu Feiyang's personality, he will let me interfere in the civil strife of Xichu? Didn't you see the iron-clad defenses on all sides? If I act rashly, Chu Feiyang will not only not be grateful, but will probably blame me. Why should I bother to be disliked? Besides, who is Chu Feiyang? Even if it is dangerous now, he is likely capable of turning the tide. You'd better stay in the camp patiently. Once we receive Chu Feiyang's signal, we will leave here. I promised Rong'er that her precious brother must not be harmed in the slightest. Don't frame me. Otherwise, I will make sure you never see Rong'er again in your life!" After leaving a threatening word, Qi Jingyuan turned around and walked back to his tent.
Rong Yunhe stood quietly in the wind and snow, watching the Chu King's army coming in and out, but his restless heart gradually calmed down.
Night gradually fell, and the sounds of fighting continued outside the city...
"Boom..." Suddenly, the gate of Jincheng, which had been defended for more than a month, collapsed to the ground and was breached by the Sea King's army.
Countless Sea King troops rushed into the city in an instant and fought a desperate battle with the garrison troops defending the city.
"Capture the Princess of Chu alive." Hai Quan gave the order and rushed towards Jincheng City...
Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen heard Hai Quan's words "Capture the Princess Chu alive" at the same time.
The two immediately looked at each other, and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.
Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen immediately retracted their swords that were stabbing at each other, and turned to fight against the Sea King Army together...
While the Chen Wang Army and the Chu Wang Army were fighting, the Neptune Army took the lead in attacking Jincheng. Countless Neptune Army soldiers poured into the broken Jincheng gate like a tide. The Neptune Army soldiers, who had already been blood-thirsty, raised their weapons and chopped down anyone they saw.
Suddenly, deafening cries echoed from the city gates. Those civilians, unable to escape, perished one after another at the hands of the Sea King's army. Though the Jincheng defenders fought hard, they were outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand. Looking out, the gates of Jincheng were a mountain of corpses, blood flowing like a river. The aftermath was too daunting to look upon.
"The Chu King's army, listen up, and pursue the Sea King's army with all your might!" Chu Feiyang straightened his back and shouted amid the noisy sounds. The shout, which used his internal strength, instantly spread throughout the battlefield.
"Dexi Army, obey orders, and hunt down the Sea King Army with all your might!" At the same time, Jiang Muchen also shouted this.
As soon as the two men gave their orders, the soldiers of the two armies who had just been fighting desperately stopped their attack on the enemy, and at the same time locked their targets on the Sea King Army, and began to deal with the Sea King Army which was one step ahead with all their strength.
Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen immediately whipped their horses and galloped towards the city gate...
When Hai Quan heard the military orders from the two, his heart suddenly shook. He suddenly pulled the reins to slow down, turned his head and looked back, and saw that Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen had stopped fighting and were chasing him with all their strength.
With murderous intent in his eyes, Hai Quan suddenly pulled his horse's back and galloped towards the city at an extremely fast speed again...

Chu Feiyang noticed Jiang Muchen's little move, but he didn't say anything to stop him. He led the Chu King's army behind him and followed Hai Quan into Jincheng...
The city gate was already littered with corpses. Chu Feiyang and Xi Lin could only try their best to cross the empty spaces. Once inside the city, they went their separate ways...
With a "boom...", the city gate was closed by the city defenders and the Chu King's army half an incense stick after the Chu King's army rushed into Jincheng.
"Your Highness, we have been plotted against by King Chen and King Chu!" The guards following Hai Quan saw that the situation was not good and immediately spoke out to remind King Hai.
