Sun Di angrily asked, "Has the Bei Daying gone mad? For a foreign princess, they actually attacked their own comrades?"
The man knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Highness, the North Camp did not attack the Imperial Guards, but they surrounded Lord Tieyou's carriage. The 30,000 North Camp soldiers were like crazy. According to Daxia officials, the mastermind of this incident was in the carriage, a traitor from Yanbei. More than 20 brothers in our Vanguard Camp have died, most of them died at the hands of Daxia's entourage, but the soldiers of the North Camp are even more difficult to control when they see blood."
Li Ce's face was gloomy and he was really angry. His eyes narrowed slowly like a fox and he said coldly: "Zhao Chun'er alone can't accomplish anything. There must be something fishy here." The morning mist dissipated a little, and the sunlight pierced through the mist and sprinkled on the marble-paved Rose Square. The silver-white armor sparkled brightly under the sunlight. Thirty thousand Beidaying soldiers stood densely on the stone steps of the square. Their faces were still very young, with the innocence of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. These young men of the imperial nobility, who grew up in the comfortable environment of the imperial capital of Tangjing, stared with red eyes at the carriage that was forced onto the high platform, with the weapons in their hands creaking.
The morning glow was as red as blood. Standing on the high Rose Square, Chu Qiao looked out at the magnificent ancient city of Tangjing, the towering city walls, the magnificent palaces, the densely packed houses and shops, the soldiers holding shining swords, and the people standing below the square looking up... Chu Qiao suddenly felt very peaceful in her heart. The wind was so strong that it blew her cloak, and the hem of her clothes fluttered in the morning breeze like a big bird about to spread its wings. She reached out her hand and took off the hood on her head, revealing a beautiful and tough face, and a pair of calm and composed eyes!
All of a sudden, a huge noise sounded in all directions. A month ago, Chu Qiao's portrait was brought in from Daxia and was posted all over the streets. The students of Shangwu Hall had repeatedly studied her mysterious combat strategies, but at this moment, looking at the young girl who was not even eighteen years old in front of them, everyone was stunned.
Is this the villain from Yanbei who rushed into the capital of Daxia alone and took away the Southwest Governor?
Is this the new generation of famous general from the mainland who led 4,000 soldiers to fight across thousands of miles without ever being defeated?
This is the battlefield escape dragon who escaped thousands of miles and broke out of Daxia’s pursuit and blockade dozens of times, the spiritual leader of Yanbei?
Could this be the mastermind who secretly sneaked into Bian Tang and planned the shocking turmoil?
"I am Tieyou, the commander of the Royal Guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Tell your commander to come out and see me!"
Tieyou was already wounded in many places, but he still stood in front of Chu Qiao with a sword in his hand. The young man was like a towering mountain, with a tough look in his eyes and thick black eyebrows that stood upright. He pointed his sword at the boiling Beidaying and shouted angrily, "Let Lu Fangshan come out to see me!"
He didn't know that at this time, all the senior leaders of the Beidaying had entered the Imperial College Hall of the Jinwu Palace, requesting the empire to send troops to Yanbei, and only some middle and lower-level generals were left in the army.
His sword was heavy and sharp, with a bloodthirsty cold light. Under his feet were more than a dozen soldiers who tried to rush up. They were wearing the uniforms of Beidaying, but the sword skills they displayed were the chopping style of the Xia country. However, it was too late to say this at this moment. Tieyou shouted angrily: "You gathered here, are you planning to rebel?"
More than 200 guards protected Chu Qiao. Most of them were injured. One of them was pierced in the chest by an arrow, but he did not fall down. Instead, he stood at the back with a spear, using his body to block the arrow's range for Chu Qiao.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been deceived by a traitor and foolishly guarded the remnants of Yanbei. We are soldiers of the country and the blade of the empire. We cannot sit idly by and watch the empire suffer such a great humiliation while letting the traitor escape!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and the young soldiers who had calmed down a little suddenly became excited again, and everyone shouted, "Yes! We can't let her go!"
"The prince is a womanizer, he must have been deceived by this witch!"
"Yanbei thief, you dare to offend the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, you must be executed!"
"Kill her!"
A long wind swept past, and there was a strange light in people's eyes. Chu Qiao knew that at this moment, it was useless to say anything. The anger of the soldiers was enough to burn everything. She had seen it in Zhenhuang City and on the northwest battlefield, and knew how serious it was.
She called Tieyou's name loudly, but Tieyou didn't turn back. Her voice was actually very loud, but it seemed so weak amidst the shouting.
"Go! Go find Li Ce. He is the only one who can turn the situation around!" Tieyou didn't look back, but his voice was filled with the iron-blooded persistence of a soldier. At this moment, he was no longer the young father who squinted his eyes when talking about his daughter, but a determined soldier. He answered word by word, "The prince asked me to protect you."
"Brothers, go ahead! We are not rebelling, we are just defending the dignity of the empire. History will remember us, and future generations will judge us fairly! What we do today will go down in history, and we will interpret the loyalty of soldiers with blood!"
There was a sharp whooshing sound, and then a roar that resounded through the ears, like a bomb exploding in mid-air. Tie You's hair and beard stood up, and he roared like a lion! He was seen waving his sword and instantly turned into a black shadow. After a few jumps, he leaped into the crowd of Beidaying. A large amount of blood suddenly spread out, forming a blood-red semicircle. It was as if a wild beast was roaring in a rainstorm, and a scream was heard afterwards. Tie You swung his sword in one hand and grabbed a young soldier from the Beidaying with the other hand, holding him high above his head!
"If you want to talk, why don't you say it openly? Why hide behind others!"
With a loud bang, smoke and dust flew up all over the ground. The man was thrown by Tieyou to the empty ground between the two sides. Tieyou walked forward step by step, staring at the man's shrinking eyes fiercely like the god of death, "Who are you? But you are a soldier of my Beidaying? I am a legitimate descendant of Beidaying, why have I never seen you before?"
The man stepped back in fear and said in panic, "What do you want to do, Commander? Can you shut me up? Can you shut up the world's mouths?"
"I just want to ask you, who are you?"
"Haha," the man suddenly laughed out loud, "Your Excellency is a soldier of the empire. Instead of arresting the thieves who are plotting to overthrow the empire, you come to interrogate me and ask who I am. Don't you think you are putting the cart before the horse? I am just an ordinary soldier. I don't have your high salary, your superb skills, or your lofty position! But I have the blood of a soldier and a heart devoted to the country!"
Tie You was furious. He grabbed the man by the collar and said angrily, "You are not from our Tang people. You are from Xia. What is your intention in deceiving people here?"
"Lord Tieyou!" The man's voice suddenly rose, and he shouted angrily with red eyes, "You were once the pride of Beidaying! You were once our idol! But what happened to you now? You followed the prince, watching him do whatever he wanted, disregarding the interests of the entire empire and bringing shame to the entire Bian Tang. Where is your blood? Where is your conscience? Have you been eaten by dogs?"
The wind was howling, and even the sunlight was a little cold. The crowd was like a boiling tide, roaring and making noise. Tieyou's eyes were red and he shouted angrily: "If you don't say anything, I will kill you!"
"Kill me!" The man was fearless and shouted to the North Camp, "If my blood can inspire the military spirit of Bian Tang, then I will die without regrets! Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Wu, Xuansheng, General Gao Lie, King Yuewu Ling, their eyes are watching us in the sky, the military might of Bian Tang is rising! Long live Bian Tang!"
After saying that, the man suddenly straightened his body and hit Tieyou's blade directly!
In an instant, a huge gasp sounded almost at the same time, and the cold sword cut the man's throat. Disgusting blood foam continued to come out. Tie You was shocked and stepped back, letting the man's body fall heavily on the Rose Square.
The man still stood up, supporting his body with the scabbard. He could not speak, but was still trying to say something. Large mouthfuls of blood flowed out of his mouth, staining the silver-white armor on his chest. The silver rose petals seemed to be in full bloom, flashing an enchanting light!
Behind the crowd, Chu Qiao slowly closed her eyes. She knew that it was too late.
"Kill her!" I don't know who shouted first, but the angry crowd suddenly rushed in like a flood that broke through the dam!
"Tieyou! Go quickly! Go find Li Ce!"
Tie You raised his sword, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and said in a deep voice: "The prince asked me to protect you."
With a swish, Chu Qiao pulled out the sword of a dead Imperial Guard soldier, looked coldly at the soldiers who rushed forward, and said slowly: "Well, let's fight side by side."
"Haha! It's worth it for me to fight side by side with the famous general who is feared by the whole world, even if I die!"
The footsteps rumbled like thunder, and the young elite soldiers of the empire let out deafening roars. Although there were only more than 200 enemies in front of them, they seemed to have walked onto the northwest battlefield or the land of Liaodong. The silver-white armor spread across the entire Rose Square like an avalanche. With swords in hand, they marched forward step by step. The ground beneath their feet was shaking violently. The well-organized army was like a mountain, pressing forward inch by inch.
The muscles in Tieyou's arms were tangled and he stood upright stubbornly. He joined the army at the age of fourteen and took part in the Liaodong Defense War and the Nanqiu Suppression Campaign. He once crossed thousands of miles of blockade lines alone to deliver battle reports. He has always been a role model and idol for Bian Tang soldiers. At this moment, he stood there alone, like a sharp blade. People had reason to believe that any force that hit him would pay a devastating price!
"For the honor of the empire!" Beidaying immediately issued a neat charge slogan, and the soldiers rushed forward like a tide!
Suddenly, a row of surging blood foam flew into the air. Tie You waved his arm, and three heads flew up into the wind. They fell into the crowd like a few rotten cabbages and were instantly trampled into human flesh!
The two groups collided head-on, like two surging waves, which suddenly hit each other and splashed waves of blood. The shrill sound of weapons pierced through the clouds and rushed across the sky. Two hundred guards stood in a line, standing firm with firm steps, guarding their mission.
Although the young Bei Daying had a large number of people, most of them were on the stone steps, and less than one-tenth of them were on the rose platform. They crowded and rushed up, but they were so vulnerable in front of the guards led by Tieyou.
First row, second row, third row, fourth row...
The soldiers fell down row after row. Those young eyes were fanatical and their blood was boiling. The guards of the Royal Guard gradually showed despair in the face of their colleagues. Some of their knives softened, some of their eyes hesitated, and some of them shouted frantically: "Don't come up! Don't come up!" But at the moment they hesitated, the swords were placed across their necks, and the next second, their throats were cut by their comrades.
