Chapter 431: This King is Too Merciful
They quickly gathered the medicine together, and Erbao took off a bamboo tube from his body, which was full of fine needles. "It is not suitable to spread the medicine on a large scale next. The amount is not enough, and it is easy to hurt our own people."
After all, the person who took the detoxification pill was only a friend who was fighting against the enemy in the abyss. However, this medicine was extremely potent. As long as a little bit of it was inserted into the skin and flesh with a needle, it would definitely fall to the bottom immediately. Each of them had this fine needle, and the quantity was large enough, so the amount of medicine used could be reduced a lot.
Everyone immediately understood what he meant. "Then let's go to the front and help. Now the main thing is to delay time and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
Erbao nodded, "Yes, there is a huge disparity in numbers between the enemy and us, so we have to save some energy if we fight hard. Brothers, go to the front to help them, and we will make some arrangements here to defend this last checkpoint."
I hope I don't need it...
"Okay, let's go then."
Having said that, the few of them quickly disappeared from Erbao's sight without even turning their heads back.
At the gate of Xueling Town, Chu Chenfeng's army had arrived.
He was dressed in black armor, riding on a Ferghana horse, looking solemnly at the seven civilians hanging on the city wall.
Duanmu Huo looked at him with an evil look on his face, "Chu Chenfeng, it's been a long time since we last met in Kyoto. You look a lot lighter now."
"Oh, of course I can't be as carefree as the young general."
"What's the matter? Is your little emperor difficult to discipline? Is he causing His Majesty a lot of trouble?"
Chu Chenfeng's eyes were indifferent. "No, there are just too many clowns. General, you know that I just got married, but this... hehe, they have to separate my husband and I, so I'm naturally not in a good mood."
"A clown!" Duan Muhuo sneered, "Speaking of the regent princess, it is said that she has a deformed face. The prince's preferences are really different from those of ordinary people."
There was a dangerous light flashing in Chu Chenfeng's eyes. "My princess is naturally not a match for ordinary people. I am just barely a match for her. I am very lucky."
Li Mulan's identity had already spread far and wide because of her marriage to Chu Chenfeng. Everyone knew that she was not only the legitimate granddaughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but also the youngest disciple of the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace, and her status and position were extraordinary.
She is also the junior sister of the Lord of Tianlang Kingdom and the princess of Tianlang Kingdom.
The other brothers all have extraordinary identities. Such people are indeed not worthy of ordinary people.
Duanmu Huo gritted his teeth and said, "The Regent is indeed modest, but don't you think this undermines your wisdom? Aren't you afraid that people will misunderstand you and think you are a sinister villain who uses women to achieve his goals?"
Chu Chenfeng sneered, "As long as my princess doesn't misunderstand me, why should I care about other people?"
"The prince is very generous."
Duanmu Huo didn't want to argue with him anymore. "I heard that the regent of Daqing loves his people like his own children and is an undefeated god of war revered by the people. So this general wants to know, what is the prince going to do with these people?"
Duanmu Huo glanced at the person next to him, and the other person immediately understood and took a few people to pull and shake the ropes that tied up the people.
Those civilians were just ordinary people. They were already frightened because they were tied to the city wall, and they screamed even more after being shaken like that.
"Help me... Your Majesty, help me..."
"We are the people of Snowling Town. We don't want to die...ah...help..."
"I don't want to die... Help... Help..."
Duanmu Huo looked at the screaming people and was in a good mood. "Scream harder so that your prince can hear you. When he hears you, he will come to save you. If you want to live, you have to work harder."
The cries of the people became louder. Chu Chenfeng, who was standing opposite him, looked normal, as if he was not affected at all. However, the flash of murderous intent in his eyes changed the aura around him.
Xing Yi and other people who had followed him for many years had already discovered that their master was angry at the moment.
"Regent, what do you say? Do you want to save these people? Or let them... fend for themselves?" Duanmu Huo's gloating expression at this moment was particularly annoying. Seeing that Chu Chenfeng didn't say anything, he felt even better.
"Actually, this general also thinks that it is not worth it to be controlled by others for a few civilians. What do you think, Your Majesty? Otherwise..." Duanmu Huo slowly stepped forward, looked at the people hanging below, and smiled contemptuously, "This general will help Your Majesty?"
As he said this, he snatched the crossbow from the man behind him and shot an arrow at a civilian.
Although Duanmu Huo doesn't have any great talent, he is a martial artist after all, so he does have some vision.
The arrow pierced directly through the commoner's throat, and he died in just a few breaths.
"Duanmu Huo!" Xing was so angry that his fists creaked. He looked at Chu Chenfeng and said, "Master!"
Chu Chenfeng remained calm, but gently waved his right hand in a certain direction.
He looked up at the tower and said, "General Duanmu, you can kill an unarmed civilian. You are indeed the son of Duanmu Qing."
Duanmu Huo didn't feel ashamed at all when he heard this, and seemed quite proud. "He's just a commoner. Let alone one, even if there are a thousand or ten thousand of them, this general won't take them seriously. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. As long as we can win, what's there to fear about a small sacrifice?"
"Haha, the general is very courageous. I just wonder what the people of Simon would think if they heard this."
"You don't need to provoke me with words. History has always been written by the strong. As long as I can win this battle, how it will be written is up to me."
"General, you are so clear-headed that it makes me seem too merciful."
"Hahaha, yes, you Chu Chenfeng care about reputation and feathers, but I, Duan Muhuo, don't care about those empty things. A woman's kindness will not lead to great things."
Duanmu Huo's tone was getting more and more proud, as if he had really won. He held a crossbow in his hand and looked at the other boy, "Look, such a young boy, he could have had a bright future, but it's a pity that he met this general today..."
"Zheng!" The arrow of the crossbow was hit by something unknown and shot directly into the city wall on the other side.
The figure that came from nowhere has now reached the bottom of the city wall.
Duanmu Huo was shocked, "Shoot, quick, shoot! Kill them."
Simon's soldiers rushed to shoot arrows madly at the bottom of the city wall.
Several experts appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and no one noticed them when they appeared.
He noticed that he was able to dodge the arrows and directly kidnapped the civilians hanging on the city wall.
Xing Yi was very happy when he saw this. He gave an order and the soldiers behind him rushed directly towards the city gate.
Without the threat, Daqing's troops were like divine soldiers sent from heaven, and they were very brave.
Dozens of black-armored soldiers flew onto the city wall, their shields pierced with arrows shot by Simon's soldiers, but this did not affect their advance at all.
Duanmu Huo was so shocked that the change happened so quickly that he forgot to react for a moment.
