The man landed beside Ye Qingxue, swept his long sword horizontally, knocking away all the guards who rushed up. Blood and corpses fell to the ground, splashing up countless drops of blood.
This is probably what is meant by "Jagged rocks pierce the sky, and surging waves crash against the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow".
Yun Chi and Chen Hui's pupils constricted sharply!
The horse beneath him neighed.
Two gray and white wolves followed, rushing over and tearing at the throats of the guards, making them practically one against ten.
That wasn't all; behind the two wolves, hundreds of guards rushed out.
This time, Yun Chi and Chen Hui saw clearly that they hadn't fallen from the sky, but rather emerged from an underground tunnel.
A tunnel! Yun Chi discovered that he was completely unaware of the tunnel near Zichen Palace that led directly outside the palace!
This will allow Yun Zhuo to emerge from the tunnel with his guards!
He boasted that he was his father's most beloved prince, but his father never told him this, and his father was always on guard against him!
Moreover, Yun Zhuo did not die. He was swept away by the flood, but he actually survived and rushed over with hundreds of guards at this critical moment.
Yes, that piece of cloth was just something he used to provoke Ye Qingxue and extinguish her will; it wasn't real.
Although he really wanted to find Yun Zhuo before Ye Qingxue and the others, if he was dead, that would be fine; if he wasn't dead, he would just kill him.
But like Ye Qingxue and the others, he couldn't find it.
Ye Qingxue was prepared to be pierced by ten thousand swords, but suddenly she was protected and placed in a safe area.
Even so, her strength was completely exhausted. Shaking off the arrow made her unable to hold on any longer, and her body fell straight to her knees on the ground.
But just then, her waist tightened, and when she came to her senses, she found herself being held in someone's arms.
She looked up and saw Yun Zhuo's face.
He was dressed in plain clothes, his long hair tied up with a black silk ribbon, clean and neat, but his face was visibly much thinner.
Yun Zhuo met her gaze, smiled, and with a flick of her wrist, severed the throat of a guard who rushed forward.
"Have you been waiting long?" Yun Zhuo asked, his voice piercing through the myriad sword flashes and shadows, reaching Ye Qingxue's ears like heavenly music.
"I've been waiting for a long time, but I knew you would come, so I waited," Ye Qingxue said, her nose tingling and her heart pounding.
Yun Zhuo pulled her into his arms with one hand, tightening his grip instantly: "Let's hug one first. Anyway, there are so many people, it's hard to kill them all in a short time."
Ye Qingxue was completely exhausted and could only stand up by leaning on Yun Zhuo's embrace.
She rested her chin on Yun Zhuo's shoulder, and looking from behind him, all she could see was the glint of swords and the bloodstains, with corpses falling one after another.
"I thought something had happened to you." Ye Qingxue's lips were close to his ear as she spoke, her voice tinged with a sigh and lingering fear.
Believing he will come is one thing, but worrying that something might happen to him is another.
Ye Qingxue didn't notice that when she spoke, her breath brushed against Yun Zhuo's ear, causing him to swallow.
He said, "I've said it before, you don't need to trust anyone else, you only need to trust me, and I will never break my promise to you."
Ye Qingxue rested her head on his shoulder, her body moving with his killing movements, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Then you can leave me to rest and go kill Yun Chi and Empress Shen," Ye Qingxue said.
He paused, then added, "At this critical moment when the Great Zhou is facing a life-or-death crisis, we are counting on you, my Prince Jing."
Yun Zhuo's body jolted violently. Suddenly, he tucked his long sword under his arm and cupped Ye Qingxue's face in his hands.
Under the palace lanterns, his eyes shone like stars and shone like the sun.
Ye Qingxue met his gaze and was slightly taken aback. She was just trying to make a joke out of her misery, so why did he look at her like that?
She was still in a daze, but Yun Zhuo had already pressed his lips heavily onto hers.
"!!!" Ye Qingxue's mind went completely blank for a moment. Yun Zhuo quickly stepped back, but Ye Qingxue was still staring at him in a daze.
Yun Zhuo carried her away from the fighting and let her sit under the eaves, with her back against a pillar.
"Now that I'm here, you don't need to work so hard. Rest here and leave the second half to me." After saying this, Yun Zhuo charged forward again with his sword before Ye Qingxue could reply.
The fighting continued, and the ground was covered with layers of blood.
Ye Qingxue knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help but raise her hand to caress the lips he had kissed, then stared intently at Yun Zhuo's murderous figure.
Yun Chi finally realized what was happening.
Chen Hui finally saw it clearly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Although Prince Jing has come, he only has a hundred guards and is not a threat. As long as we block the tunnel exit, no one will come out of the tunnel again."
Yun Chi pursed his lips, his eyes filled with malice: "Arrange for men to set the tunnel on fire, and make sure no one comes out of there again!"
Chen Hui should be the one.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Chi shouted at Yun Zhuo, "Yun Zhuo, the entire palace is now under my control. You brought over a hundred guards here; you're just asking to die! I advise you to surrender!"
At this moment, Yun Chi only wanted to kill Yun Zhuo as soon as possible!
He never knew that watching Yun Zhuo kiss Ye Qingxue—even though it was just a fleeting kiss—would be enough to drive him mad.
Ye Qingxue was originally his fiancée and should have married him. Why did she get to marry Yun Zhuo, the deposed crown prince?
Then, Yun Chi thought: If Ye Qingxue hadn't broken off the engagement, Ye Qingxue wouldn't have saved Yun Zhuo, and then there wouldn't have been the incident where Yun Zhuo cleared his name and returned to the palace!
