More than 2,000 people against 30,000 people, the chance of winning was almost zero, but King Xiang and his men were now fighting a desperate battle, determined to die. So they fought fiercely and desperately, and faced 30,000 rebels, and surprisingly did not lose the upper hand.

But soon, the rebels who surrounded the city from the left and right wings killed nearly a thousand soldiers guarding the city wall. They rushed down from the left and right walls and surrounded King Xiang and his men.

King Xiang and his men no longer cared about anything else. They held their weapons and killed anyone they saw. They beat them until their hands and feet became numb and could no longer obey their commands. They just wielded their weapons based on their vital instinct.

The blood stained their armor and blurred their vision. They could no longer tell whether it was the enemy's blood or their own blood.

King Xiang didn't know how many people he had killed. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground exhausted.

Watching his brothers falling one after another, King Xiang gasped, gripped the hilt of the sword, and stood up tremblingly with the sword as support.

Even if he died, he would die standing.

At this time, a leader of the rebels slashed at him with a knife, and King Xiang saw it. But he had no strength left, and could only watch the knife split him in half.

At this moment, the deputy general suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, be careful."

Then he threw himself forward, and used his shoulder to take the knife blow for King Xiang. At the same time, he hugged the rebel, gritted his teeth and pushed him back. Finally, the two of them fell down together, with their bodies pierced by a knife.

King Xiang walked over tremblingly and tried to pull him up.

But another rebel came out from each side, raised his knife and slashed at him on both sides. King Xiang simply stopped struggling and closed his eyes waiting to die.

At this moment, two "whoosh" sounds were heard, and the two rebels immediately screamed and fell to the ground, each with an arrow stuck in the heart.

He turned around with difficulty and found a general in red armor galloping towards him.

Liu Sheng came to him, lifted him onto his horse with one hand, and charged out from the chaotic army.

Behind him were 100,000 soldiers waving Dayu's battle flags: "Kill..."

The sound was deafening, and the rebels were instantly frightened and fled in panic, abandoning their weapons and armor.

However, Liu Sheng led an army of 100,000 and chased them all the way, killing most of them. The rest fled in all directions, and only then did Liu Sheng give up.

King Xiang sat on his horse, leaning against Liu Sheng, and said with a forced smile: "I never thought that you would save me when I was about to die."

"I am late and have caused Your Highness trouble." Liu Sheng ordered people to repair the city gate and rearrange the city defenses before riding a horse and taking King Xiang back to his residence.

"I remember the first time I rode a horse, I sat behind you. You led me and made me fall several times. You even laughed at me for being a man but not knowing how to ride a horse."

I don’t know why, but King Xiang recalled a lot of things from his childhood at this moment.

Liu Sheng turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you will not die. There is no need to show such a dying man's words of kindness. Otherwise, you will regret it when your injury heals."

"Haha." King Xiang laughed, which instantly affected the wound on his back and made him groan in pain.

"I just want to know why you betrayed me in the first place?"

This question lingered in the mind of King Xiang for a long time: "Did my father force you to do this?

He and Liu Sheng are of similar age, and they studied and rode horses together. He truly regards Liu Sheng as a good brother and has great trust in him. He treats Liu Sheng even better than his own brothers.

So he couldn't understand why Liu Sheng could suddenly stand on his father's side and plot against him.

"Your Highness must listen?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Liu Sheng got off the horse, carried him on his back, and ordered someone to call a military doctor. Then he said, "I have no hardship, and your majesty has never forced me to betray your highness. I did it voluntarily."

Section 139

"Why?" King Xiang was very confused.

"Because I used to be a very cold-blooded person. I was cold-hearted and never shared my feelings with anyone. Your Highness thought that I was very close to you, but that was just my nature. I looked gentle and kind, but in fact I was the coldest. I had no ill will towards anyone. But at the same time, I had no feelings towards anyone."

"So when His Majesty hinted that I should plot against Your Highness, I did it without hesitation. It was not for the sake of gaining His Majesty's favor, nor for any power or wealth. I simply enjoyed the feeling of stirring up trouble behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation."

King Xiang thought of many possibilities, such as he was coerced by his father, or he was greedy for power. Or even he simply hated himself, but he didn't expect that he would say such a thing.

This reason was really unexpected for King Xiang.

Liu Sheng knew what he was shocked about, so he smiled and said, "In fact, if you put yourself in my shoes, you will probably understand what I was thinking at the time. Why did you want to return to the capital? Why did you want to fight with the Ninth Prince? Is it for the throne?"

When King Xiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Liu Sheng continued with a smile and said, "I'm afraid it's neither. Your Highness just doesn't want to lose, and just enjoys the pleasure of winning."

King Xiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Because Liu Sheng was right, he didn't want to be an emperor at all, he just enjoyed winning, enjoyed the feeling of stepping on everyone under his feet.

He can destroy with just a light push the things that others have worked hard for and spent half their lives to obtain. That feeling is very refreshing and fulfilling.

So it was the same with Liu Sheng back then. He enjoyed playing with people in the palm of his hand and watching them struggle in pain in his palm, racking their brains but unable to escape.

To them, this is all just a game.

King Xiang was somewhat relieved. They were the same kind of people. It was no wonder that he considered Liu Sheng a close friend back then. "What about now?"

Liu Sheng has changed now, and King Xiang can clearly feel the change in Liu Sheng. If it were Liu Sheng back then, he would stand outside the lonely city today, watching them all die in battle, and then tell his father that he died for his country.

Don't disbelieve it, Liu Sheng back then could really do it.

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Aren't I here to save His Highness now?"

King Xiang knew that he was talking about something else, so he didn't bother to ask: "Your Miss Ye doesn't seem to want you to die."

Liu Sheng knew he was making fun of him, so he didn't get angry with him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since Your Highness knows she is mine, Your Highness should not try to get her in the future."

"That won't do. Let's put things one thing at a time. You have changed but I haven't. I still don't like to lose." King Xiang suddenly became arrogant.

Liu Sheng smiled and shook his head, not arguing with him.

After confirming with the military doctor that he was fine, he went to capture the remaining rebels. At the same time, he posted an official document stating that regarding the private brothel, His Majesty had already summoned Prince Xiang back to the capital for investigation.

Let those deserters come back on their own, and the court will let bygones be bygones for what happened before.

If they do not return to the team within three days, they will be treated as deserters and their entire clan will be implicated.
