"These extremely loyal soldiers have such heavy hearts, but what about the others..."
Bai Qing thought to himself: "I'm afraid that the others are vacillating and may be on the verge of collapse. But the young master has not come out yet, and he has not spoken. I cannot go overboard and step in to take charge of the overall situation."
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the situation when the young master came back.
In such a miserable state, but without seeing the two great masters of Qian Yang and Yin Ming, could it be that the young master was attacked and injured in the middle of the journey?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a soft sound.
Bai Qing hurriedly turned around and raised his body, but within three breaths, he came to the courtyard.
The soft sound was the sound of the door being pushed open.
The person who opened the door was Zhuang Ming.
But at this moment, Zhuang Ming's complexion was extremely ugly.
The face is bloodless, pale and bluish.
The wheels of the wooden chair pressed over the lower threshold and trembled slightly.
Zhuang Ming's body also trembled, and then he groaned and broke into a cold sweat.
His body swayed slightly, a little unsteady, and he was breathing unsteadily, looking up and looking ahead.
But he felt dizzy and almost fell forward.
"Son..."
Seeing this, Bai Qing stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help him, and whispered: "What's going on?"
Zhuang Ming glanced at him and gasped: "The Zhennan Army is coming?"
Bai Qing's heart sank slightly, and he nodded and said: "An hour ago, the Zhennan Army appeared at the foot of the mountain. Within a quarter of an hour, they completed the encirclement, but they only encircled but did not attack. I don't know what the purpose was. However, it can be concluded that the Zhennan Army The incoming troops of the Confederate Army were unkind, because just now Steward Zhou went out to discuss matters, and he was shot and killed after he had only gone thirty steps."
Zhuang Ming's face was still pale, and he whispered: "As expected, King Chen still doesn't know that I have returned to Zhongwang Mountain. He regards all my properties as his own, so he will not be in a hurry to take action. Destroy the villa that belongs to him. However, when King Chen finds out the exact clues that I have returned and confirms that I am in the villa at the moment, he will definitely come here in person."
After a pause, Zhuang Ming said: "When King Chen arrives and the Zhennan Army receives his order, it will be about the time to attack the mountain."
Bai Qing paused for a moment, then asked: "Master, what exactly is going on? Is it something that happened last time, or is there evidence of guilt left behind?"
Zhuang Ming shook his head, suppressing his mental disorder, and said: "You did a good job in what happened last time. All the evidence has been cleared. Although King Chen knows what we did, there is no human or physical evidence, so he just concealed it." Don't say it. At this moment, the things in front of you are not yesterday's things, but today's things..."
Bai Qing was startled for a moment, and even more stunned.
Zhuang Ming gasped for breath, his face was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth slightly and said: "I took away the sacred object presented to the emperor by King Chen, broke up with King Chen on the spot, broke out of the siege and came back. If I commit such a major incident today, our Zhuang Company will be punished. Suffering disaster, Qianlong Villa will also suffer..."
Bai Qing's expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice and said: "Young Master..."
He looked horrified and took a breath.
Although I had already expected that this matter would not be simple, after all, the young master had lost his former glory, returned in embarrassment, and there was a large army pressing down on the situation.
But I didn’t expect it to be the same as a rebellion?
"I fought my way out of Zhongding Mansion. I had a chance to let Yin Ming try to capture King Chen among thousands of troops. However, with thousands of troops and horses, the danger was too great. My own safety could not be guaranteed. I was also afraid that I would be trapped in a tight siege and it would be difficult to escape, so I decided to I didn’t fight against King Chen on the spot.”
"However, the biggest reason is that I conclude that this person is conceited and will regard Qianlong Villa as his own. Due to many considerations, he may postpone the army's attack."
"If I kill King Chen, the army will have already laid waste to Qianlong Villa to avenge King Chen."
"This is a breather, but it won't be long."
"Sooner or later the army will attack the mountain, you must defend this place."
Zhuang Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try my best to delay him for another hour, but I still have a way to break the situation."
Bai Qingshang was in shock. When he heard the words, he hesitated for a moment. He didn't know what other means the young master could use to turn things around when things had developed to this point. However, the young master had always been a master of calculation, so he didn't question it too much.
"Sir, there are tens of thousands of troops at the foot of the mountain, but there are less than a hundred guards inside the villa. In addition... except for me and about 20 people, the other guards may not dare to resist the imperial army."
Speaking of this, Bai Qing said seriously: "If there are two masters, Qian Yang and Yin Ming, who are holding the battle, we may be able to rely on the terrain of the villa to maneuver for a while, but I am afraid that it will not be able to sustain it for an hour..."
Zhuang Ming fell silent.
Bai Qing hesitated for a while, but finally asked: "Qian Yang and Yin Ming, two adults..."
Zhuang Ming said in a low voice: "In order to cover my departure, he was trapped by the Zhennan Army and was unable to come back with me."
Bai Qing clenched his fist slightly and opened his mouth, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
These two masters also gave him guidance, and their cultivation was profound and unpredictable. They were always regarded by the warriors of Zhuang's Trading Company as the supreme and undefeated martial gods.
However, today, they were surrounded and killed by the Zhennan Army, so they were not immune to death?
At this moment, Bai Qing felt vaguely sad.
They are brothers who have practiced martial arts all their lives and are obsessed with martial arts.
However, both Qian Yang and Yin Ming are already martial arts masters, supreme warriors, and are regarded as invincible beings like gods in the martial arts world.
This martial arts realm is the achievement that the two brothers desire most, and it is also what they have been pursuing for their entire lives.
However, even such martial arts achievements cannot escape the encirclement and attack by the imperial army.
"Son..."
"Hold this place."
Zhuang Ming gasped slightly and whispered: "Listen, if I don't come out, no one can disturb me, including you..."
Bai Qing hesitated and said: "What if the Zhennan army starts to attack?"
Zhuang Ming said in a deep voice: "I told you, don't disturb me if I don't come out. Even if the Zhennan Army really breaks through the villa and kills all the way in, I still want you to protect this courtyard and not let them set foot in half of the courtyard." step!"
Bai Qing's complexion changed again and again, and his breathing became slightly stagnant.
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Can you block it? Do you dare to block it?"
When Bai Qing heard this, his face was solemn and he said: "Bai Qing even wanted to chop off King Chen's head, why wouldn't he dare? Not only I, Bai Qing, but also the brothers outside, the last time they acted, they were thinking of death. Leave your heart, this time you are just facing life and death, why don't you dare?"
Zhuang Ming exhaled and said: "I narrowly escaped death last time, but this time I won't survive ten deaths. I won't blame you if you retreat."
Bai Qing paused and said: "Young Master..."
Zhuang Ming said: "I will come out to solve everything within an hour at the latest."
After saying that, Zhuang Ming said in a low voice: "You can also tell all brothers that there is no secret escape route in my room. I am in the room myself... If I really want to escape, I don't have to return to the villa."
Bai Qing sighed: "I'm just afraid. Without the two adults Qian Yang and Yin Ming, we can't stop it. With more than 20 of us alone, even though our martial arts are pretty good, we can't stop the tens of thousands of troops from charging... …”
Zhuang Ming said softly: "Qianlong Villa was designed by me personally. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you follow my previous teachings, the advantage in numbers cannot be used. As the saying goes, one man can guard the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it. "
Bai Qing smiled bitterly.
Although the terrain is advantageous, if there is one man who is at the gate, ten thousand men will not be able to break it.
But the Zhennan Army is an elite force, with tens of thousands of them. Even if they take turns to advance, they are still coming in a steady stream, with endless strength. And even if they are made of iron, how long can they hold on?
Their numbers are too small, and they are like a pile of scattered sand in front of the elites in the army. Even if they can defeat one hundred due to the terrain, they will not be able to defeat tens of thousands of elites.
What's more, if they are not masters, how can they fight one against a hundred?
"No matter what, delay by all means."
Zhuang Ming looked solemn and said: "You must try every means to hold back King Chen. If you really can't hold him back, take advantage of the terrain and use all methods to protect this courtyard to the death!"
After a pause, Zhuang Ming sighed again and said: "However, this matter is about death and no life, so I won't force it. Between life and death, no matter what you do, it's human nature. If anyone wants to leave, I won't force it." stop."
Bai Qing suddenly laughed and looked back.
Outside the hospital, all brothers arrived one after another.
Bai Qing turned around, folded his hands, bowed and said: "Don't worry, young master, I have already committed a capital crime before. I dare not say that all of you brothers can go ahead and look down on life and death. But everything you did before will be punished by death. Even if At this moment, I am hesitant, but I cannot surrender to the enemy to save my life...There is no reason to survive, and I will fight to the death without retreating."
"Don't worry, young master, we know we are guilty of death and will fight to the death without retreating!"
When everyone saw this, they all bowed, bowed, and shouted in unison.
Zhuang Ming took a deep breath, and his face became paler.
He cupped his hands, folded them in front of his chest, moved forward deeply, bowed his head and saluted, and said apologetically: "Zhuang Ming caused trouble and underestimated the loyalty of all brothers. It is really a sin. I hereby apologize."
"Young master is not guilty, we have no regrets and will not retreat even if we die!"
Bai Qing was the leader, kneeling on one knee and holding the handle of the knife.
"Young master is not guilty, we have no regrets and will not retreat even if we die!"
When everyone saw this, they all followed Bai Qing's example and knelt on one knee, their expressions solemn and their voices low.
Chapter completed!
