Chapter 255 The enemy is at the gate!
Pei Jingxu's face darkened and he stood up suddenly.
"How are they now?"
"Guard Jiang called a doctor to treat them and also sent people to search for Bai Shutong, but there's still no news."
Pei Jingxu's expression was solemn and his face turned slightly pale.
She didn't feel sorry for the two children, but Bai Shutong was so cruel that she could use the two children as an exchange to escape from the cell. She really didn't dare to imagine what she would do next.
"Girl, what should we do next?"
Hongyao was obviously terrified and her body was shaking uncontrollably. Most of the time, Pei Jingxu protected her. How could she have ever seen such a bloody scene?
Pei Jingxu rolled his eyes and said in a cold tone, "Go tell Jiang Hui to pay attention to the movements in the palace. Once Bai Shutong is freed, he might go to the palace to look for opportunities."
Now the emperor is seriously ill, and Bai Shutong has excellent medical skills. If she can take this opportunity to cure the emperor, she might be able to take this opportunity to ask for the emperor's forgiveness again.
But Pei Jingxu didn't expect that she still underestimated Bai Shutong.
——She never expected that in the next few days, Bai Shutong went to the Randeng Temple to retrieve the crown prince Shen Qianfan, and together with Shen Qianfan, intended to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate!
It was three days later that I learned the news!
In three days, Shen Qianfan gathered the remaining troops and instigated rebellion in the four cities around the capital, blocking the roads for other cities to come to the rescue!
Shen Qianfan's remaining troops were not numerous, and even if they were gathered from all over, they would only be around 5,000 elite soldiers.
The Imperial Guards and other troops total more than 10,000 people, which should be more than enough to deal with these remnants.
But when the Royal Guards in the city faced Shen Qianfan's team, they found that the soldiers under Shen Qianfan seemed to be insensitive to pain. Even though they were covered with wounds, they still wailed and waved their weapons as they moved forward!
——As if he doesn’t care about his life!
In the center of the army, Bai Shutong and Shen Qianfan sat high on sedan chairs, their eyes full of morbidity and madness!
Shen Qianfan had lost his patella and could only sit on a high place. His face was sickly pale as he watched the soldiers fighting in the front. Even though he was hit by several swords, he still swung forward. The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became paranoid and arrogant!
"Kill them! Kill them for me!"
"Go! Don't stop! Keep moving forward!"
"Kill all those who stand in my way! Kill them all!"
Shen Qianfan's eyes were bloodshot and he was shouting madly!
On top of the city gate, Rong Jianxue had a stern and cold expression.
The commander of the Imperial Guards hurriedly climbed to a higher point and reported to Rong Jianxue, "Sir, those soldiers seem to be reckless and are charging forward even though they are bleeding. Our troops are almost exhausted!"
That group of soldiers was no longer "brave" and was full of weirdness.
Not knowing the pain, not knowing the life or death.
It's like...
It's like—
"Medicine man." Rong Jianxue spoke calmly.
"Drug man?" The Imperial Guards commander's eyes widened. "Your Excellency, are you talking about that secret Southern Xinjiang witchcraft technique, where a living person is doused with drugs, turning them into a walking corpse with only thoughts left?"
A medicine man like that has nothing left except one thought.
For this idea, they are not afraid of pain, life or death, and will never give up until they achieve their goal!
"I just sent a message to the nearest city, but Chen Qianfan has instigated rebellion in the surrounding cities. Even if the nearest city sends reinforcements, it will take three days!"
But the problem now is that under the almost suicidal and desperate attack of this group of troops, the capital city can't last more than three days!
"Sir, what should we do?" The commander of the Royal Guards looked panicked.
Rong Jianxue had a cold expression on his face. He looked at the two people sitting high on the sedan chair in the distance with an indifferent look.
"Get the bow."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui respectfully handed over the bow and arrow, placing the hundred-stone bow and arrow in Rong Jianxue's hands.
Rong Jianxue bent his bow and drew his arrow, standing on a high place and aiming at the man sitting in the sedan chair.
“Swoosh——”
It was the sound of an arrow breaking through the wind.
The arrow pierced through countless soldiers and shot straight towards the person in the sedan chair!
With a "hiss".
The sound of arrows piercing bone and blood.
The arrow hit Shen Qianfan's chest straight. For a moment, the man seemed to have lost his breath, his pupils contracted violently, and he fell silent instantly!
"Hit it!" General She, the commander of the Imperial Guards, shouted loudly!
But before the joy faded, Shen Qianfan was seen holding the sedan chair tightly with both hands, with two finger bones embedded in the sedan chair and blood dripping slowly from between his fingers.
He sat stiffly on the sedan chair, his face so pale that he looked dead, but he gave Rong Jianxue on the city gate a nearly sinister smile.
With bloodshot eyes, Shen Qianfan seemed to be completely unaware of the arrow piercing his chest. He continued to shout orders: "Kill them! Kill them all!"
On the city wall, the commander of the Imperial Guards widened his eyes. "What's going on?! How can he still…"
At this point, his pupils constricted and he understood.
"Could it be... the prince also..."
Became a medicine man?
Thinking of this, Commander She was shocked and looked at Rong Jianxue in astonishment: "Sir, what should we do now?"
If the prince also becomes a medicine man, then he has only one goal - to kill the resisting team and force the emperor to abdicate!
Rong Jianxue rubbed his finger bones, without showing any panic on his face.
Turning his head slightly, he saw that in the capital, the doors of every household were closed and the people were trembling with fear and anxiety.
Not knowing whether they could survive this war, the people placed all their hopes on Rong Jianxue.
——If the city is captured, they will definitely not have a good ending.
"Sir!" Seeing Rong Jianxue remained silent, Commander She continued, "How about you take some troops, His Majesty, and these civilians and evacuate first!"
"I'll bring some men to guard here and buy you some time!"
Rong Jianxue's expression was calm, and her tone was cold: "Wait a little longer."
Wait a little longer?
General She didn't understand and looked at Jiang Hui beside him in surprise, wondering if Guard Jiang could give him some clear instructions.
Jiang Hui just shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.
The young master said, wait a little longer.
--
The private soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion all went to the city gate to defend against the enemy. Just in case, Pei Huaifeng was sent by Rong Jianxue to protect Pei Jingxu.
"Sister, are you okay?" Pei Huaifeng ran to Pei Jingxu and asked her anxiously.
Pei Jingxu shook his head and held Pei Huaifeng's arms: "Xiaofeng, where's Rong Jianxue? Is he okay?"
"He's fine now," Pei Huaifeng said with a slightly serious expression. "Bai Shutong is colluding with Shen Qianfan. His five thousand elite soldiers have all been made into drug men by Bai Shutong. The situation outside the city gate is not good."
Having said that, Pei Huaifeng said seriously: "Sister, how about I take you away?"
"We left through the back door. There's still time."
Hearing this, Pei Jingxu looked at Pei Huaifeng seriously: "Xiaofeng, since I chose to come back with him, I don't want to abandon him anymore."
Pei Jingxu will never leave Rong Jianxue.
——She swore an oath.
