"My Lord, where are you going?"
Prince Rong never expected that he would meet Jingzhao Yin on his way to Xizhou.
What happened was that Jingzhao Yin and General Zhenguo learned of the rebels' transfer route.
After discussing it, the two decided to split their forces into two groups, one to go back and report to Emperor Yuan, and the other to strangle the rebels.
As for why it was Jingzhao Yin who returned to the capital to report, it was because Jingzhao Yin lost the game of rock-paper-scissors.
Prince Rong glanced at Jingzhao Yin and saw that he only had three people with him, while he had a dozen people behind him, so he felt that he was not to be feared.
So, he shouted to Jingzhao Yin in an imperative tone: "Xie Xu, get out of my way! Don't block the road!"
"My Lord, you shouldn't be here."
Prince Rong drew his sword and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't get out of the way, I will kill you!"
Seeing this, Jingzhao Yin curled his lips and smiled, he was afraid that you would not take action, otherwise it would be difficult for him to kill you.
"Your Majesty, lay down your weapons and follow me back to the capital. His Majesty may spare your life."
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. Prince Rong thought that it was Vice General Yin who was catching up with him, and he was panicked.
If Deputy General Yin and Jingzhao Yin surround him from the front and back, he will definitely not be able to escape!
So he gave the order, "Kill them."
The battle was about to break out. Xie Xu sat on his horse without moving. The three men he led went forward to fight with Prince Rong's men.
After a while, Prince Rong, who had vowed that he could kill Jingzhao Yin, watched his men fall one by one and felt the breath of death approaching.
Looking into Xie Xu's bloodshot eyes, Prince Rong felt that Xie Xu would kill him, definitely kill him.
No, he couldn't die here.
His grand plan has not even begun yet, he absolutely cannot die here, let alone die like this before it even begins!
To this end, he grasped the sword in his hand and joined the fight with a shout.
Prince Rong is also good at martial arts. When he was still a prince, he had fought on the battlefield.
Most of those who followed him had fought alongside him on the battlefield.
They felt that Prince Rong was wise and brave, loyal and righteous, and was the most qualified among the late emperor's many sons to inherit the throne.
But to everyone's surprise, the late emperor made the second prince Yuan Mingxuan, now Emperor Yuan, the crown prince.
They couldn't understand why the late emperor, who obviously doted on Prince Rong, would make the second prince the crown prince in the end?
Because the late emperor knew that Prince Rong was narrow-minded. If he were to take that position, Daxia would either be flooded with blood or would be overthrown.
With the addition of Prince Rong, Xie Xu's two subordinates were quickly at a disadvantage and the situation reversed.
Prince Rong knew that he was no match for Xie Xu if a fight broke out, so he took the opportunity to escape.
Jingzhao Yin slowly drew his sword, kicked the horse's belly, and rode after him.
In a short while, he caught up with Prince Rong and was driving on par with him.
The two men were riding on horses, fighting with each other with swords. Jingzhao Yin didn't want to waste time, so he aimed his sword at the horse's leg.
The horse was frightened and neighed, then raised its front hooves and threw Prince Rong to the ground.
Xie Xu jumped off his horse and stabbed Prince Rong with a sword.
Prince Rong dodged in panic, "Xie Xu, you are so bold. I am Prince Rong of Da Xia. No matter what, you have no right to kill me!"
Xie Xu turned a deaf ear to him, and the sword in his hand did not stop at all, and every move was deadly.
Prince Rong struggled to cope with it, and his gorgeous clothes became tattered in a few breaths.
The people following Prince Rong saw that he was in danger and rushed over to help him deal with Xie Xu.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and mount your horse. Deputy General Yin is catching up with us."
Prince Rong jumped on his horse and galloped away. The others also jumped on their horses and followed him.
Xie Xu also jumped on his horse and started chasing after him. Halfway through, he picked up the bow and arrow hanging at his feet.
He drew his bow and shot three arrows at once, with a 100% hit rate. The three men behind Prince Rong were shot and fell off their horses.
Prince Rong looked back and whipped the horse harder, making the horse run faster.
Xie Xu picked up three more arrows and shot them out, and Prince Rong swung his sword to cut off the arrows.
Watching the people around him fall one by one, Prince Rong knew that he could not escape.
So he reined in his horse, dropped his sword and shouted, "Xie Xu, I surrender. I will go back with you."
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Xie Xu picked up another arrow. "The wind is too strong. I can't hear you."
Prince Rong was horrified when he saw Xie Xu aiming his bow at him. "Xie Xu, I have surrendered. You can't..."
The arrow pierced through Prince Rong's throat, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he could no longer utter the unfinished words.
"Please say it again, Your Highness." Xie Xu added on to the unfinished sentence.
Prince Rong fell straight back, and the people following him shouted, "Prince!"
"Prince Rong has already surrendered, why don't you surrender?"
The remaining few people looked at each other after hearing this, and then slowly put down their swords.
At this time, Deputy General Yin and others caught up.
At first glance, they saw Prince Rong lying on the ground with his eyes open, and then looked at Xie Xu in shock.
"Thank you, sir. This..."
Xie Xu explained: "Prince Rong resisted to the end, and I have executed him on the spot."
Deputy General Yin looked at Xie Xu deeply. He didn't know whether the current situation was privately instructed by His Majesty or whether Xie Xu had killed Prince Rong on his own initiative.
"Come here," Xie Xu shouted, "bring the prince's body with you and follow me to Xizhou immediately."
"What about us?" Deputy General Yin asked hurriedly.
"Master Yin, please take them back to the capital and report to His Majesty."
