However, behind King Jin, another tall figure riding on a black horse slowly revealed his true appearance.
Who else could this person be if not Duan Rongshi?
Duan Rongyin looked down and saw the huge army approaching the city wall, and his face turned pale with fear.
The dark clouds in the sky were pressing down heavily.
When did these soldiers outside the city approach, and why didn't he know anything?
But how could Duan Rongyin give up so easily?
"Xiaowu!"
"You actually colluded with Liang Gao and intended to harm me?"
"You led the troops to attack the city. I think you are the traitor!"
"What do you want to do? Are you planning to rebel?"
"The Emperor is still living in the Purple Palace!"
"You are so impatient that you want to force me and my father to give up the throne for you, right?"
"You really disappoint Ling Tai!"
"Why don't you stop right now? Let me hold your head and personally apologize to the emperor on your behalf!"
"In that case, I am willing to consider releasing the grandparents and grandchildren from the Xiuli General's Mansion."
"If not, I will kill you today and send them, the grandfather and the grandson, to be buried with you!"
Duan Rongshi looked up at his brother on the city wall, his eyes devoid of emotion: "Royal brother, don't you recognize these soldiers?"
"My royal brother has been raising eight thousand elite private soldiers in Liangdao Shuting, a hundred miles away, over the years."
"These private soldiers were never registered in the royal army."
"As the Crown Prince, you maintain private soldiers, which is treason. Do I need to tell you about this crime?"
"My brother used the excuse of secretly dispatching the Beitu army to besiege Qishan and eliminate the remnants of the Lotus Sect that day, but in reality he intended to lure 5,000 elite Beitu soldiers to Qishan."
"As long as we seize the opportunity to kill them all, and impersonate them as traitors of the Lotus Sect, then you, my royal brother, just need to replace them all with your own people, and we will have a new Northern Army."
"As for those true soldiers of the Northern Army, their identities have been replaced by others. Their lives are truly dead, and no one in the world knows about them."
"In this way, the Beitu troops have been completely replaced and have become your prince's army."
"If I hadn't just recently been fighting against the pirates with the Northern Army, I wouldn't have noticed their distress signal in time and led people to help."
"Why, my brother's men have fought their way back to the East Palace to report the news. Haven't they told me yet that all of your eight thousand elite soldiers have been captured by me?"
The Beitu army shouted loudly behind him: "Prince Su! Prince Su! Prince Su! Prince Su——"
The prince thought of Jiang Ruiqi.
Before he could finish his words, he was stabbed in the neck by his own sword.
The prince felt a sharp pain in his head.
He held onto the city wall and nearly collapsed.
Li Qingluo also watched this scene quietly, his heart was shaken for a long time.
She knew nothing about the Beitu soldiers and the prince's private soldiers.
It seems that he has been troubled by this matter for the past two days.
However, his appearance at this moment also exposed that he had already disobeyed the imperial edict and left Guifu Palace, didn't he?
Liang Gao raised his knife and shouted, "The Crown Prince is plotting rebellion. We, the ministers, will follow His Royal Highness Prince Su to purge the emperor's court—"
"Charge, kill them!"
All the prince's men rushed over.
The city walls, inside and out, were instantly filled with people hanging all over.
Li Qingluo was killed and protected: "Miss, let's retreat."
With Zhuiyu, Shasan and others here, it is indeed no longer appropriate for Li Qingluo to stay here for long.
She nodded heavily, and after finding Que'er, the two of them followed Sha Yi to the bottom of the city wall.
The prince saw that he had been forced into a desperate situation.
He hated Zong Zheng Yu'er even more in his heart.
He held a sword and killed people like crazy on the city wall, not distinguishing between friend and foe.
Finally, he found Zong Zheng Yu'er, who had almost escaped completely. He placed the sword across her neck and said, "It's all your fault! I will cut you into pieces!"
Zong Zheng Yu'er screamed, pointing at Li Qingluo who was about to kill her, and yelled, "Li Qingluo! You said you would let me live, save me now—"
Li Qingluo?
Duan Rongyin saw the white figure in the crowd at a glance.
Although she was wearing a veil.
But looking at her figure, it does seem more and more familiar.
It's actually her! ?
Great! Duan Rongshi and she actually teamed up to murder him!
In that case, let Duan Rongshi also experience the pain of having his heart cut open!
The prince grabbed Zong Zheng Yu'er and was about to rush towards Li Qingluo, when at this moment, an arrow flew towards him -
It penetrated Duan Rongyin's chest.
Before Duan Rongyin could react, Zong Zheng Yu'er raised her hand and took out the small dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed him fiercely!
Duan Rongyin lowered his head in disbelief.
Looking at the arrow sticking out of his chest.
And the knife handle that was stuck in the flesh with only the handle left...
"Yin'er——"
A cry of pain.
It was Emperor Yan who was being carried and galloping from afar.
When seeing this scene, Emperor Yan screamed in pain.
Li Qingluo heard the sound and looked towards the city wall.
She saw Su Miaoyu, dressed in white and veiled, standing in the corner with a bow in her hand.
Was it the arrow she shot?
