After being told off by Xun Daoren, Zhu Yougui knew he couldn't go too far, otherwise he would have truly offended Xun Daoren and wouldn't even know how he died...
"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely bring Li Zhu's head back as a marriage proposal gift..."
"That's excellent..."
Xun Daoren nodded, which made Qinglu frown, feeling a deep disgust for the two people in front of her...
Outside Taiyuan City!
Zhu Youzhen had already led his Tianxing Army to the outside of the city. The mighty army was lined up in a square formation, and the imposing sight made the people inside the city extremely uneasy. They thought that the New Tang Dynasty had attacked. If they hadn't been sure that the soldiers below the city were dressed as Tianxing Army soldiers, they probably would have been in complete chaos long ago.
"You all hurry and report that we have received a message from the Prince of Jin and have come to defend the Emperor. Release them immediately..."
Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly to the soldiers on the city wall…
"Wait a moment, I will go and report to them!"
The messenger immediately rushed to the Prince of Jin's residence. At this time, Xun Daoren and Qinglu had not yet left when the messenger burst in, shouting urgently...
"Your Highness Prince Jin, the Tianxing Army has come to the capital to defend the emperor. Should we allow them to enter the city?"
"Tianxing Army? Zhu Youzhen's troops? Why has he come to the emperor's aid?"
Zhu Yougui couldn't help but mutter to himself!
"You slept with someone's mother, what do you think that person was there for?"
Qinglu retorted coldly!
This made Zhu Yougui's face darken. He knew Qinglu was right; Zhu Youzhen had definitely come for revenge, not to defend the emperor. But if he wasn't allowed into the city, it would certainly cause a lot of gossip and unrest within the city, which would be detrimental to his future control over Taiyuan Prefecture…
But if the city gates are actually opened and the enemy storms in, it will definitely be another bloody conflict. Regardless of who wins or loses, the fighting strength that Taiyuan Prefecture has just built up will instantly crumble...
Before Zhu Yougui could make a decision, another messenger rushed in even more urgently, shouting...
"Report... The remnants of the Li family have opened the city gates and let the Tianxing Army in. The Tianxing Army is now on its way to the Prince's Mansion..."
"What?"
Zhu Yougui suddenly stood up, speaking incredulously, then slumped back down weakly, his eyes vacant, seemingly unaware of why he was like this…
"A perfectly good situation was ruined because of a woman; what a loyal dog indeed..."
Qinglu couldn't help but say sarcastically, but by this time no one cared about her sarcasm; the most important thing now was how to stop the Tianxing Army...
"Guards! Order all soldiers to the Prince's residence to protect him. Kill Zhu Youzhen without mercy if they see him..."
Zhu Yougui thought that he still had 60,000 troops; he hadn't been defeated yet; he still had a fighting chance…
The entire Taiyuan Prefecture was in chaos, filled with the sounds of fighting. Suddenly, Japanese ninjas reappeared, wreaking havoc throughout the city and escalating the chaos between the two sides…
Having received the news, Li Zhu had already led his troops to the outskirts of Taiyuan City...
Li Zhu took out the signal flare he had made, lit it, and then a beautiful firework lit up outside the city of Taiyuan...
Then the sounds of fighting came from inside the city, and soon the city gates were opened, and Li Zhu led his troops into the city…
Inside the city, Zhu Yougui was still leading his men in resistance against Zhu Youzhen. He could never have imagined that tonight would be a night that would change history...
Zhu Yougui, who had just successfully usurped the throne, was attacked by a combined force from unknown sources, and the entire Taiyuan Prefecture was engulfed in the sounds of fighting…
The Japanese ninjas wreaked havoc, drawing a large portion of the city's defense forces to their side. In order to fight against Zhu Youzhen, another part of the force was transferred to guard the Prince's Palace...
Then Chen Qingzhi, who infiltrated the city through a secret passage, drew away a large portion of the city's guards...
Finally, the Li family easily turned a portion of the garrison into their own forces, and under their leadership, the troops directly defected and became Li Zhu's allies...
Zhu Yougui's advantage as the defending force vanished at this moment, and everything became irreversible...
After Li Tiande and his men rescued the family heads whose hands and feet had been severed, the newly recruited private soldiers immediately became Zhu Yougui's enemies...
What was supposed to be a defensive battle suddenly turned into a war of annihilation, with the fighting continuing from night until dawn…
Blood stained the entire Taiyuan Prefecture red, and all the people hid in their homes, not daring to look out...
"Zhu Youzhen, you bastard, do you even know what you've done? Our Zhu family has been destroyed because of your stupidity..."
Seeing the inevitable defeat, Zhu Yougui angrily questioned Zhu Youzhen, who had stormed into the palace!
"I'm a bastard? Then you're a beast! You did such a despicable and vile thing to my mother, am I, as your son, just supposed to stand by and do nothing? Only killing you can quell the hatred in my heart..."
Zhu Youzhen roared angrily; his hatred for Zhu Yougui had clearly reached its peak…
"It's over...it's all over..."
Zhu Yougui murmured, glancing at the room behind him. Xun Daoren and Qinglu had already left; this time, the two had given up on him…
"If you die, I will naturally succeed to the throne of the Prince of Jin, and this Jin territory will still belong to the Zhu family..."
Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Yougui coldly and said, appearing completely confident...
Zhu Yougui gave a bitter smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Zhu Youzhen's words...
Because he knew it was all over, there would never be a Prince of Jin again, and even if there were, he would never be a member of the Zhu family…
Pfft…
Blood began to gush from Zhu Youzhen's mouth. He slowly lowered his head and saw the knife that had pierced his chest. He couldn't believe he was dead...
He slowly turned his head and saw Ding Hui staring coldly at him. Sensing the life fading away, Zhu Youzhen asked with difficulty.
"Why?"
"Because of your stupidity, all of this could have been planned in the long run. If you could have joined forces with Zhu Yougui to first wipe out the New Tang army, there would still have been a chance. Now everything is gone. To save my own life, I can only take your head and beg for the New Tang's forgiveness..."
Ding Hui's voice reached his ears, and Zhu Youzhen slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he truly regretted his stubbornness. Not only had he failed to avenge his mother, but he had also died at the hands of his own people...
"General Ding, don't you think it's too late to surrender now?"
As Zhu Yougui watched Ding Hui chop off his brother's head, a sense of shared sorrow, like that of a rabbit mourning the death of its kin, filled his eyes…
"Indeed, it's a bit late to surrender to you, but when did I say I wanted to surrender to you?"
Ding Hui slowly walked up to Zhu Yougui and coldly replied!
Zhu Yougui was stunned. Before he could react, a flash of light appeared, and he felt his throat being slit...
He clutched his throat, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was all in vain…
"I'm going to surrender to the New Tang Dynasty with the heads of your brothers in my hands..."
Upon hearing Ding Hui's words, Zhu Yougui finally closed his eyes...
