The Sichuan army guards wanted to protect Xiao Xiang and kill him through the west city gate, but it was not easy. So many Zhen people came from all directions and rushed at him without hesitation. They could not kill them all, but the guards around Xiao Xiang became less and less.
When they finally rushed into the city gate, there were only about twenty of the hundreds of guards left. The space in the city gate was quite small. Even if there were many people attacking them, in such a small space
Can't be deployed.
The guard who was guarding Xiao Xiang finally got a chance to breathe. He shook off the blood on his spiritual sword, bent down, gasped for air, and after a while, he raised his head and looked outside the city.
Looking past the people outside the city, the guard saw rows of masts not far away. He was overjoyed and said anxiously to Xiao Xiang: "Your Majesty, don't panic. There are many ships docked outside the city. We can take a boat."
leave here!"
Xiao Xiang had become a little unresponsive due to excessive fright. She looked at the guard general and didn't say anything. She just nodded numbly and held the guard general's arm tightly with both hands. It looked more like
It's grasping at straws.
No matter what, Xiao Xiang is a woman after all. At this time, all the innocent people in the city want to kill her, and each one of them is like a bloodthirsty beast, and the roars they make are not human.
Everyone will have fear in their bones.
After a short pause, the guard took a deep breath. Then, he left ten guards in the city gate to resist the Zhen people inside the city, while he himself led Xiao Xiang and the rest of the guards to charge outside the city.
The chastity in the city was finally restrained by the guards in the city gate. The guard had no worries for the time being and concentrated on dealing with the enemy directly in front.
Compared with those inside the city, the number of Zhen people outside the city was much smaller. The guard led Xiao Xiang all the way to kill them, which was considered smooth.
However, not long after they rushed out of the city gate, dozens of arrows were suddenly shot from the top of the city. Two guards were unable to dodge and were hit by the flying arrows.
He heard the muffled sound of arrows piercing armor, and looked at the two guards. They each had dozens of arrow shafts stuck in their backs. They fell to the ground and died on the spot.
Ah! There are enemies at the top of the city! The guard general was startled and reminded loudly: "Be careful of the archers on the city, protect the king!"
While shouting, he pulled Xiao Xiang forward and ran forward. The other guards retreated behind the two of them, turned back, and used their spiritual swords to deflect the arrows that were flying down. If they couldn't stop them, they just
Use your own body to resist.
It can be said that all the guards around the monarch are dead soldiers. When it comes to a critical moment of life and death, no one will be greedy for life and afraid of death.
The guards used their weapons and bodies to block wave after wave of arrows flying from the city top, and just covered Xiao Xiang and the generals as they rushed to the edge of the flood.
After all, Pingcheng was not a dock, and most of the ships were parked in the depths of the flood. The guard gave Xiao Xiang a cursory glance, and without saying a word, he dragged Xiao Xiang into the flood and waded in the direction of the ships.
However, traveling in the water greatly reduced their speed and their movements became less flexible. At this time, the arrows flying down from the city were even more threatening.
In order to protect Xiao Xiang, the guards did not know how many arrows they had withstood. Many of their spiritual armors were in dilapidated condition, but they did not dare to evade them. They could only grit their teeth and watch wave after wave of arrows.
Breaking his own spiritual armor, sharp and cold arrows penetrated his body.
After entering the water, the guards began to fall one after another. Arrows shot them like hedgehogs, and scarlet blood slowly spread on the water.
In the end, the guard who was holding Xiao Xiang was not spared. Three or four arrows were inserted into his back. The spiritual armor was already full of cracks. When he walked around, the fragments of the spiritual armor fell straight down.
Fortunately, he finally dragged Xiao Xiang to the side of a big boat. Using the hull of the boat as cover, he finally didn't have to worry about arrows shooting from the top of the city. However, when he turned around and looked again, there was no guard left beside him.
.
He gritted his teeth hard, endured the pain of the arrow wound on his back, pushed Xiao Xiang to the rope ladder of the ship, and urged in a hurry: "Your Majesty, get on the ship quickly!"
Xiao Xiang had never climbed a rope ladder before, but now in order to protect herself, she had to learn how to do it. Xiao Xiang used her hands and feet to use all her strength, and the guards below were still struggling to support her, so it was finally difficult.
He climbed onto the deck of the ship.
She had just boarded the boat, and she didn't even see clearly what was going on on the boat. Several steel knives suddenly came around her. Click, click, click! The gleaming steel knives were all placed on Xiao Xiang's chest.
on the neck.
She looked up and saw several big men standing around her. All of them had dark skin and full beards. Their eyes were flashing with a terrifying ferocious light. When they gasped, a choking stench came out of their mouths.
In an instant, Xiao Xiang felt that all the strength in her body had been drained. She fell down on the deck, her face turned pale, and she stared at the big men around her in shock. The big men didn't speak, but silently raised their knives.
on her neck.
The guard who was following Xiao Xiang didn't know what happened on the ship yet, so he climbed up slowly along the rope ladder. However, when he saw the situation on the ship, his nerves that had been relaxed immediately tightened again, and his eyes widened.
, instinctively shouted loudly: "You are so presumptuous..."
"Haha——" Following a burst of laughter, several more big men walked out of the cabin. The leader was a bald middle-aged man. This man looked ferocious. Not only did he look ferocious, but the tattoos on his body were also very scary.
, starting from the forehead, along the cheeks, neck to the lower abdomen, the whole person looks like a monster.
After the bald middle-aged man came out, he first looked at the guard general, then looked at Xiao Xiang, laughed loudly, and said: "The left eye jumps for wealth, and the right eye jumps for disaster. This is really true.
My eyelids were twitching very early this morning. I thought something would happen to me, but I didn’t expect that a big gold brick fell from the sky, haha——"
The guard's palm subconsciously clenched the spiritual sword tightly, his eyes narrowed, and his mind turned quickly. It seemed that he had just escaped from the dragon pond and entered the tiger's den while protecting the king. Now there was only one way to rescue the king, which was to kill the thief first.
Capture it!
Thinking of this, the guard general used all his strength without any warning, and flew towards the bald middle-aged man with his sword. Seeing him stabbing him with the sword, the bald middle-aged man didn't even dodge, he just stood there.
He didn't move, his face was still cheerful.
However, a black shadow suddenly appeared next to him. This man was very fast. He jumped up like a cheetah pouncing on its prey. He intercepted the general in mid-air and punched the general in the chest with both fists. He almost
At the same time as he punched out his fists, his body was also covered with spiritual armor.
So fast! The guard was secretly frightened, and he hurriedly retracted his sword to block. A clang was heard in his ears. The man's fists were hitting the surface of the spirit sword. Due to its momentum, the guard's forward figure turned into a
After flying upside down and landing, he couldn't stand, and took three big steps back before he could barely stabilize his body. Looking at the tiger general again, blood seeped out from the cracks in the tiger's mouth spiritual armor, and the hand holding the sword was shaking violently.
Ah! He took a breath, what a profound cultivation this person had! He was shocked in his heart, but the opponent didn't give him a chance to breathe, and immediately rushed forward again, still punching him in the face with both fists.
rib.
The guard general felt helpless and had no choice but to retreat. However, he only paid attention to the front and ignored what was behind him.
When he was pushed back by the opponent, a big man silently came to his back and suddenly kicked out with a sweeping kick, hitting the guard's heel.
He let out a strange cry, leaned back, and sat down on the ground. At the same time, the fist of the spiritual cultivator in front also arrived.
There was a crisp sound, and the two punches struck at the same time hit the guard's left and right temples. The latter groaned, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.
He had fallen to the ground, but the spiritual cultivator was like a mad dog. He still refused to give up. He raised his fists and beat the guard general head and face. Every time he punched, he would completely destroy the guard general's spiritual armor.
It didn't last long, and the guard general was beaten to pieces like a gourd of blood.
Xiao Xiang couldn't stand it any longer and screamed: "Stop! Tell him to stop!"
Hearing Xiao Xiang suddenly speak, the bald middle-aged man was stunned. Then he waved his hand to the spiritual cultivator under his command and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Chu, stop!"
As he spoke, he walked slowly towards Xiao Xiang and said cheerfully: "Your Highness, Prince of Sichuan, shouldn't I bow before the king?"
Can hear the sarcasm and joking in his words, Xiao Xiang secretly clenched his fists, forced himself to be calm, and said seriously: "Don't you just want money? Let me and him go. No matter how much gold and silver you want, I will give it to you."
!”
The bald middle-aged man blinked, then slowly squatted down, approached Xiao Xiang, and asked, "I wonder, how much does His Highness Prince Sichuan think his life is worth?"
Xiao Xiang gritted her teeth and was silent for a moment. She said in a deep voice: "I know that someone has offered a reward of a thousand taels of gold for my head. As long as you can let me and him go, I can give it to you."
Ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Ten thousand taels of gold?" The bald middle-aged man murmured, turning to look at his surrounding men.
The eyes of the big men around them all shone with golden light when they heard about ten thousand taels of gold. Ten thousand taels of gold was enough to allow them to eat and drink without worries for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be interested, Xiao Xiang asked anxiously: "What do you think? Jun Wuxi said, since I promised to give you ten thousand taels of gold, I will never break my promise!"
"Ten thousand taels of gold is really a lot..." The bald middle-aged man said quietly with straight eyes. Just when Xiao Xiang thought that the other party had accepted his conditions, the bald middle-aged man suddenly stretched out his hand.
, grabbed her neck and pulled her close to him, with a ferocious face, and said through gritted teeth: "Can your ten thousand taels of gold be exchanged for the life of my brother? Can it be exchanged for the lives of my wife and children?"
