Chapter 283 Prince Lu, long time no see
At this time, the Black Armor Army had approached Lingzhou City.
The people had already gone into hiding, the once bustling streets and alleys were now deserted, and only the solemn and murderous atmosphere of war filled the air.
Lu Chenzhou was covered in blood, his black iron armor was in pieces, but he still held Lin Shen tightly.
He held the knife across Lin Shen's neck and stepped back step by step.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he exerted force with his hand, leaving a glaring bloody mark on Lin Shen's neck.
Xiao Tingye rode his horse slowly, the sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone slabs like a death warrant. Although the speed was extremely slow, it was full of oppression.
Yinchuan said coldly, "Lu Chenzhou, put down the Ninth Prince and surrender, and I can still keep your body intact!"
Lin Shen's face was also extremely defeated at this time, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
Veins bulged on his forehead, but he raised his head and roared, "Don't worry about me! Master Xiao, kill him! He's not worthy to see my eldest sister!"
As he finished saying this, the blade on his neck went three inches deeper, and blood flowed down along the gilded blade pattern.
Xiao Tingye's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Lu Chenzhou, when have you ever heard that I would be threatened by the enemy?"
Blood kept dripping from the blade in his hand, and the cold iron blade reflected his stern profile, as if he didn't take the threat of the person in front of him seriously at all.
At this time, in the entire city, only the two groups of people were confronting each other.
As for Lu Shi, he had already been killed by He Xi. Now, in the entire Xiling, only Lu Chenzhou's army had not surrendered.
Lu Chenzhou's eyes were red, as if stained with blood. He said in a cold voice, "I said, I want to see her. If I don't, then Lin Shen will die."
Xiao Tingye ignored his words, but raised the bloody knife in his hand towards him, with no sign of wavering in his cold eyes.
"You, step back!" Lu Chenzhou shouted coldly again, and then the blade stabbed directly into Lin Shen's neck. It was not deep, but blood was already gushing out.
Xiao Tingye's eyes suddenly darkened and he raised his right hand slightly.
The black mass of the Xuanjia army behind him immediately retreated three steps in unison.
Lin Shen's chest heaved violently, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
His eyes were red. "Master Xiao, I said I would never be a burden! Please also tell my elder sister that Shen'er may not be able to fulfill the promise I made to her!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force, intending to use the enemy's blade to kill himself!
"Shen'er!"
An angry roar pierced the night sky, and almost at the same time, a feather arrow came whistling with the sound of breaking through the air!
The arrow accurately pierced Lin Shen's shoulder blade, but because his body was intertwined with Lu Chenzhou's, the arrow went straight through the latter's heart!
This is too fast!
The arrow was clearly shot when Lin Shen was speaking!
If it had been a little later, Lin Shen would have been covered in blood on the spot!
At this moment, the arrow not only blocked the suicide attempt, but also nailed the two men firmly to the spot!
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and a dashing figure holding a bow came galloping.
Immediately afterwards, a female figure was seen galloping towards them on horseback, holding a bow and arrow.
The woman reined in her horse and dismounted in front of the army, her moon-white skirt fluttering in the wind.
Her expression was also tinged with anxiety: "Shen'er!"
Xiao Tingye's expression also changed, "Your Highness."
Lin Shen felt the grip behind him loosen, and he suddenly snatched the bloody long knife and struggled to break free from the arrow with pain.
He immediately turned around and stabbed the sharp blade into Lu Chenzhou's abdomen!
Lin Shen's reaction speed was also extremely fast, giving Lu Chenzhou no chance to breathe.
But the result was that his injuries worsened, and the flying blood and flesh caused by the penetrating wound on his shoulder blade was shocking!
He covered the wound on his shoulder and retreated back to Lin Zhaoyue's side.
Feng Mian and Ming Xi, who were standing behind him, immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Shen'er..." A trace of heartache flashed in Lin Zhaoyue's eyes.
Looking at the hideous arrow wound on Lin Shen's shoulder, the pain in his eyes was hard to hide.
If it weren't for her urgent arrow just now, Shen'er would probably have committed suicide on the spot.
Although his life was saved, the injury from the arrow was not light.
Lu Chenzhou, who had already been hit by an arrow, was now in even worse situation.
He staggered back several steps, blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Zhaoyue's figure.
"Yue'er..." He had just called out two words when he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Shen gave a weak and miserable smile, "I promised not to be a burden. I also don't want to be a handle to threaten my elder sister..."
However, he fainted as soon as he finished saying this.
At this time, Xiao Tingye had already dismounted and stood side by side with Lin Zhaoyue.
He first checked Lin Shen's injuries, and then said, "There is no danger of his life."
Lin Zhaoyue nodded, and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
In fact, she was also gambling just now.
If the arrow had missed by even a fraction, if the timing had been off by even a fraction, Shen'er would have surely died.
Lu Chenzhou will not kill him for the time being, but he cannot stop him from committing suicide.
Xiao Tingye looked at Lu Chenzhou and raised his hand to signal.
The Black Armor Army behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded the army in front layer by layer!
At the same time, several people were riding horses towards the front.
The leader was Su Changxue, who had not been seen for a long time.
When Su Changxue saw this scene, he didn't seem surprised.
He dismounted not far in front of Lin Zhaoyue.
The young man in the bright moonlight seemed to be covered with moonlight as he walked.
He took out two city certificates from his sleeve.
"Your Highness, this is Su's gift of surrender." He smiled lightly, "The two cities of Sheng Kingdom and Linxi are now in our possession."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the generals present changed.
The two cities of Linxi in Sheng State are both guard cities close to Xiling.
Originally, they were worried that after taking Xiling, it would be difficult to attack Sheng Kingdom directly.
But now, Su Changxue actually took over those two guard cities!
When did this happen?
If these two cities were taken into our possession, Sheng State would be no different from a flock of sheep after its pen was opened!
They can attack Sheng Kingdom directly without any hindrance!
Lin Zhaoyue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she took the two city certificates from Su Changxue's hand.
Unexpectedly, Su Changxue disappeared for a few days and actually went to capture the two cities of Linxi in Sheng Kingdom!
Xiao Tingye's eyes narrowed as he stared at Su Changxue, and finally his gaze fell on the city certificate in Lin Zhaoyue's hand.
"Two thousand elite soldiers captured the two cities of Linxi in Sheng State. Master Su is quite capable."
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up, and she praised him generously, "Mr. Su really gave me a big surprise."
Su Changxue simply curled her lips and said, "From now on, Your Highness can just call me Changxue. There's no need to be so distant."
There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Tingye's eyes, and his thin lips were pursed coldly, revealing a chill of displeasure.
Su Changxue slowly turned her head to look at Lu Chenzhou and said slowly, "Prince Lu, long time no see."
