Looking at the two girls in green and white witch uniforms in front of him, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but think of Mi Jiang. He remembered that that woman had a paralyzed expression on her face all day long, as if someone owed her millions.
"I wonder who these two girls are?"
After pondering for a while, Zhao Hongrun asked with a warm smile.
However, there were no smiles on the faces of the two witches. One of the older witches said coldly: "We are the shamans of the Dragon Gate..."
"Dragon Gate? What is that?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at each other in surprise and vaguely noticed that the witch uniforms of the two witches were vaguely embroidered in the blue position with a snake-shaped monster that seemed to be turning clouds and rain.
At this time, the witch finished the second half of her sentence in an indifferent tone: "...I came here this time to comply with Lord Chu Shuijun's wishes and to beg Master Ji Run to withdraw his troops."
"Chu Shuijun?"
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.
Although he didn't know who the Chu Shui Lord was, it would be too slight to ask Zhao Hongrun to withdraw his troops just because of his name, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun advised the two witches with the same words he had originally advised Mi Jiang: "Two girls, it is not the two girls who can interfere in the affairs between big countries... The king of Chu, Xiong Xu, governed the country unethically and condoned the Xiong family.
Harming the people of Chu is not tolerated by heaven and earth. I responded to the call of His Majesty the King of Qi, raised benevolent and righteous troops, and led the army to attack Chu. This is in line with the king's law."
However, the two witches not only ignored these words, but took a step forward and said expressionlessly: "Master Ji Run, please withdraw your troops."
Although the two women used the honorific title "you" in their words, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun did not feel even a shred of respect.
This is basically ordering him and intimidating him.
No, after hearing this, Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao, who was standing aside with a sharp sword, calmly took two steps forward and blocked Zhao Hongrun. He looked at the two witches with eyes that were already filled with emotion.
A bit of solemnity and unkindness emerged.
However, the two witches seemed to be arrogant and proud of the guards. They slowly took a step forward again, their eyes became more aggressive, and they repeated again: "Master Ji Run, please give the order to withdraw the troops!"
This attitude made Zhao Hongrun feel even more unhappy.
He stared at the two witches for a moment and said coldly: "It seems that Mr. Chu Shui looks down on me too much... Wei Jiao, see the guests off."
"As ordered." Wei Jiao, who was holding a sharp sword, nodded slightly, stretched out his finger to the outside of the tent, and said in a deep voice: "You two, please."
Seeing this, the two witches looked at each other, and suddenly the expressions in their eyes became fierce. They shook the sleeves of their witch uniforms, and suddenly a short sword slipped from the sleeves.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Wei Jiao had already cursed the soldiers responsible for the body search in his heart.
But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame the soldiers who were responsible for the body search. After all, Zhao Hongrun had always been strict in running the army, and he was most afraid of the Wei army's corrupting morale. How could those soldiers dare to grope on the bodies of two young girls in their prime?
"Back off!"
Wei Jiao shouted loudly.
It's a pity that although Wei Jiao's momentum is not small, it can't scare the two witches. They hold the dagger that slipped from their sleeves in their backhands and immediately rush towards Zhao Hongrun.
At this moment, the tent behind Zhao Hongrun was lifted up, and more than a dozen King Su guards rushed forward to protect Zhao Hongrun behind him.
Seeing this, the momentum of the two miko's forwards stalled.
Zhao Hongrun was not surprised at all by this. You must know that ever since he was kidnapped by the sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, the Zongwei had been particularly concerned about protecting His Highness. Even though he was the only one in the tent just now.
Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao and his two men received the two witches. In fact, there were countless King Su guards outside the commander's tent who were waiting solemnly for them.
Zhao Hongrun knew this very well, so even if the two witches revealed their intention to assassinate him, he did not panic at all.
"Take it, no matter life or death!"
Wei Jiao pointed at the two witches and shouted.
"Yes!" The dozen or so King Su guards responded and rushed forward.
I thought that a dozen Su Wang guards would be enough to capture the two young shrine maidens, but unexpectedly, the two shrine maidens' swordsmanship was quite good, even when faced with the siege of more than a dozen Su Wang guards.
, still able to remain undefeated.
What made Zhao Hongrun even more surprised was that he vaguely saw the shadows of the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui in the movements of the two witches.
Compared to Zhao Hongrun's surprise, Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao was even more shocked.
You must know that Su Wangwei is composed of veterans who retired from the dredging army.
The old soldiers mentioned here do not mean those who are seventy or eighty years old, but refer to soldiers who are over forty years old. Although they are still at their peak, their physical strength is inevitably declining.
Bailiba, the general of the dredging army, asked these old soldiers to retire, not because these old soldiers had lost their strength, but because these old soldiers were about to finish the peak years of their lives and it would be difficult for them to survive on the difficult battlefield.
Just survived.
After all, on the battlefield, many warriors died in battle, not because they were not strong enough, but because their physical strength could not keep up with the fighting day after day.
As Zhao Hongrun's close guards, veterans such as King Su's guards do not need to personally participate in battlefield battles on weekdays. They naturally maintain sufficient physical strength. However, they did not expect that even so, more than a dozen King Su's guards could not do anything.
Two teenage girls were obviously injured or dead.
Seeing this, Wei Jiao hurriedly took Zhao Hongrun's arm and whispered: "Your Highness, please stay away for now."
"..."
Zhao Hongrun glanced at the two witches. Although he was very curious about the origin of the other party, he also understood that the other party was obviously coming for him. If he stayed here, he would only drag down these Su Wang guards.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate. Under the protection of Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao, he lowered his head and passed through the tent raised by a Su Wang guard, and then walked out of the commander's tent.
At this time, outside the tent, hundreds of King Su's guards had already surrounded the commander's tent. However, due to the small space inside the tent, which was not conducive to fighting, they did not rush in all at once.
"Your Highness."
When Cen Chang, the chief of the Su Wang Guard, saw Zhao Hongrun walking out of the commander's tent safely, he immediately came up to meet him, clasped his fists and said happily: "Your Highness, I hope you are safe and sound. I wonder who is in the tent?"
Zhao Hongrun shook his head. After all, he didn't know the origin of the other party. He just felt that the other party was not just a pure assassin.
Seeing Zhao Hongrun shaking his head, Cen Chang did not ask further questions, but just asked in a low voice: "Do you want to capture him alive?"
Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment after hearing this.
To be fair, there are tens of thousands of merchantmen stationed in his military camp. How difficult is it to capture alive the two witches who came to assassinate them? The problem is that the two witches seem to be very good at swordsmanship. If they must be captured alive, they will probably be killed.
Su Wang's guards and the Wei soldiers who came to rescue suffered unnecessary casualties.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said: "No need to force it, kill!"
"yes!"
Cen Chang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was listening to what was going on in the tent. If His Highness King Su in front of him must capture the two witches alive, King Su's guards would be afraid of killing each other by mistake.
, and now that His Highness has directly ordered the killing, this matter is much simpler.
However, at this moment, there were only two bangs and bangs, and the two Su Wang guards staggered back from the tent. Immediately, the two witches holding short swords rushed outside the tent, and they saw it at a glance.
Zhao Hongrun was escorted by many King Su guards.
I don’t know what I was thinking, but those two witches actually dared to kill me.
Seeing this, Cen Chang, the chief of Su Wang's guard, sneered, raised his hand and pointed at the two witches, and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Highness has an order, life or death!... Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred King Su guards rushed forward and surrounded the two witches.
However, at this moment, the two witches looked at each other, took a deep breath, and suddenly moved several times faster than before. It was like a sudden shock, and many Su Wang guards had not yet reacted.
Under such circumstances, he forced a breakthrough and stabbed Zhao Hongrun with the sharp blade in his hand.
"This is……"
Zhao Hongrun's eyes widened immediately when he saw this, because this scene was so familiar to him.
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Just when everyone was frightened by the ghostly figures of the two witches, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I saw the woman wearing red and white witch clothes, avoiding the two witches with a sword, and standing firmly in front of Zhao Hongrun.
"...this woman."
Zhao Hongrun stared at the familiar woman standing in front of him with a strange expression. He turned his head and glanced at Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao with an unkind expression, but saw that the latter looked away with a guilty conscience.
Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun asked in a low voice: "Why are you here, Mi Jiang."
Mi Jiang turned her head slightly to glance at him and nodded slightly. Based on Zhao Hongrun's understanding of this woman, this was probably a greeting.
But after saying hello, Mi Jiang's eyes were fixed on the two witches opposite.
At this time, the two witches on the opposite side had just been forced back by Mi Jiang's sword, and they did not rush forward again. Instead, they stared at Mi Jiang with shocked and horrified eyes.
To be precise, he was staring at Mi Jiang's red and white witch uniform.
"The Sacrifice of Zhurong..." The older witch looked at Mi Jiang with resentment and hatred that Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand. It seemed that it was not hatred in the general sense, but a conflict of beliefs.
Resulting in disgust and hatred.
At this time, Mi Jiang also said four words expressionlessly: "The sacrifice of Gonggong."
Hearing this, the two witches flashed with fierce expressions in their eyes, and they actually ignored Zhao Hongrun, the original target of their assassination, and rushed towards Mi Jiang.
"Don't interfere."
Mi Jiang whispered, then raised his sword and faced the two witches.
For a moment, three figures, one red and two green, were fighting together. The Su Wang guards could only see the figures flashing and hear the sound of the jinge touching, but could not see clearly the swordsmanship of the three women.
Seeing this, Wei Jiao, the chief of Zongwei, said worriedly: "Your Highness, Master Mi Jiang is one against two, I'm afraid there will be trouble..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to interrupt him, shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient for a moment. We will wait and see what the situation is."
It wasn't that he was cruel and didn't care about Mi Jiang's life or death, but he felt that Mi Jiang's words of "Don't interfere" just now were clearly meant for him.
Obviously, this is a conflict between the two shamanistic heritages of the Chu State, and it is not something they can interfere with.
Of course, if Mi Jiang in the field really shows signs of failure, then Zhao Hongrun will still give orders to help Mi Jiang.
