Chapter 239 Surrounded
Rong Su reacted quickly and reached out to push Shen Peiqing away.
"Go away! You can't save me!"
Shen Peiqing held her waist tightly, his dark eyes like a deep cold pool, staring at her persistently and stubbornly.
"You owe me a lot, and I must get it back from you. Xiao Su, hold me tight." As he said that, he swung his sword and knocked down the guards who rushed over one by one.
At this time, the two people who came with Shen Peiqing were all wary of the enemy coming towards them.
"Girl. Are you okay?"
Rong Su heard the voice and felt it was quite familiar, then she knew who it was.
"Little black."
Xiao Hei curved his eyes and said, "Yes, it's me!"
Another one also said to Rong Su: "Miss, we will definitely rescue you today."
After hearing this, Rong Su felt indescribably moved.
"wood."
"Alright. Let's fight quickly and decisively. Sect Leader Zhou and the others are still waiting to pick us up." Shen Peiqing gave the order.
"Okay!" Xiao Hei and Mu Tou responded at the same time.
Rong Su was a little surprised when she heard the words of Sect Master Zhou. Zhou Di is here too?
She originally thought that Shen Peiqing only brought Xiao Hei and Mu Tou to rescue her, but she didn't expect that a large group of men in black would break in from outside the palace wall.
The entire palace fell into chaos in an instant.
The sounds of weapons clashing and people running everywhere mixed together.
Rong Su had sharp eyes and saw a guard rushing towards her from a blind spot that Shen Peiqing couldn't see.
He wanted to hold her and fight again. She struggled to let him go several times, but he was reluctant. It seemed that his stubborn character had been developed at some point in time. She felt helpless watching him.
Seeing this, Rong Su stretched out her hand and skillfully grasped the silver needle, but her hand was aching slightly. She didn't care about anything else and quickly hit the guard who was planning to launch a sneak attack.
The guard who was hit by the silver needle felt a burst of pain. When Shen Peiqing noticed it, he struck him with a sword, and the guard fell to the ground completely.
Shen Peiqing's expression was as solemn as a stern gentleman. He looked at her and said, "Don't move."
Rong Su was stunned and was about to explain.
He had already thrown out the words, a little forcefully: "If you do this, it will disturb me. Just stay still. Don't forget, you owe me, you must listen to me."
The words on the tip of her tongue could not be uttered after hearing what he said.
She did feel very guilty towards Shen Peiqing, but she also didn't like him talking to her in that tone, so she couldn't help but put on a cold face.
"Since I'm interfering with you, just let me go. I don't need you to save me. I owe you. You could just give me a knife."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Peiqing frowned, his dark eyes flashing with heavy depression, but he still hugged her tightly, turned away, and stubbornly held his own opinion.
"No, you owe me, and I can't pay it back with just one knife."
"You!" Rong Su was so angry that she glared at Shen Peiqing fiercely.
Shen Peiqing pretended not to see.
I don’t know when Shen Peiqing made the arrangements in the Beizhou Palace.
However, within the time of just one stick of incense, they managed to repel many of the imperial guards.
There was even a small number of imperial guards who were his men.
When Xiao Yilin saw this, he was horrified and hurriedly planned to abandon Shen Fengyu and escape.
At this moment, Stone appeared from the darkness and swung out a dagger, directly hitting Xiao Yilin's leg.
"what!"
A violent scream was heard, and Xiao Yilin fell to his knees on one leg, his entire face distorted.
Shen Peiqing held his sword, pointed it at the panicked Imperial Guards who had lost their leader, and shouted:
"Now, I have captured your emperor and prime minister. I urge you all to stop struggling in vain. Put down your weapons, and I will spare your lives."
The imperial guards looked at each other, and at this moment, one of them recognized Shen Peiqing.
"Is this the eldest prince?"
"The eldest prince? That's right! It's the eldest prince!"
As soon as they heard that Shen Peiqing was the eldest prince, the imperial guards were the first to drop their weapons on the ground.
Then he knelt down in front of Shen Peiqing, his attitude not pretending, and he surrendered sincerely.
"This subordinate is willing to submit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing someone surrender, the others no longer hesitated and followed suit one by one. Soon, all the imperial guards knelt down and surrendered to Shen Peiqing.
When Rong Su saw this scene, she thought it would end like this.
But Xiao Yilin still didn't give up. He looked at Shen Peiqing angrily and roared:
"He's planning a rebellion! You're actually begging for mercy from a traitor!"
In fact, not all the imperial guards really wanted to submit to Shen Peiqing, but they had to do so because of the current situation.
After Xiao Yilin's words, many imperial guards began to get restless.
At this moment, a lot of Beizhou troops rushed in from outside.
Seeing his men arrive, Xiao Yilin laughed wildly, "Haha, capture these traitors for me!"
The Beizhou Army was surprised to see their Prime Minister was injured, but when they heard the order, everyone took up their weapons and pointed them at Shen Peiqing and the others.
Now it was the turn of the imperial guards to hesitate, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should take up their weapons again.
Rong Su was a little worried. It seemed that the two guards who had just gone out to find the imperial physician had notified the Beizhou Army. She looked at Shen Peiqing and spoke in a low voice.
"You'd better leave quickly. There are 5,000 Beizhou soldiers here, and you only have a hundred or so. You are no match for them. You might be able to deal with a few dozen imperial guards."
Shen Peiqing remained unmoved, his voice was cold and deep, without much emotion in it, but his words now carried an inexplicable childishness, like a naughty child.
"It seems like you really want me to leave. But I won't. I'm the debt collector, and you're the debt payer. Why should I listen to you?"
Rong Su was almost mad at his words. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, feeling a little unhappy.
"That's fine, do whatever you want! You want to die, but I don't want to die yet, so let me go!"
Instead, Shen Peiqing held her waist tightly, and with his big hands, he pressed her tightly into his arms. He sulked and said in a stubborn and sinister voice, "Then you have to come with me."
"You!" Rong Su widened her eyes and stared at him angrily.
Shen Peiqing didn't look at her again, but looked at the Beizhou troops who surrounded them. They were calm and composed, without any sense of urgency of being surrounded by the enemy.
The general in the lead was Xiao Yilin's man. Seeing that Shen Peiqing showed no fear at all, he was actually a little surprised. He shouted an order:
"Come here, capture these traitors!"
The Northern Continent Army behind him began to raise their weapons and advance towards them.
Seeing that he was about to be caught, Rong Su was actually filled with worry and had begun to think about the possibility of using poison here.
But if she used it, she didn't have the antidote on her, and Shen Peiqing would be hurt, which was not the result she wanted.
Even though this guy is crazy now and always says things that make her angry, it is already a good result that she can see him safe and sound again.
So, what should we do and how should we solve the current dilemma?
"Aren't Zhou Di and the others outside? We haven't been out for so long, is there no way for them to come in?" Rong Su could only think of this, and couldn't help but ask Shen Peiqing anxiously.
Shen Peiqing remained calm in the face of the approaching Beizhou troops. When he heard her words, he spoke calmly.
“There aren’t many people in the surrounding area.”
Not much? If not, why are you so calm? Rong Su couldn't help but admire Shen Peiqing's composure at this moment, but she was anxious. Shen Peiqing had died once, and although she didn't know how he survived, she didn't want to face it again.
Rong Su started to speak without thinking, "You dare to break in without being fully prepared? Are you here to die?"
Shen Peiqing suddenly turned to look at her, his dark eyes shrouded in an indescribable darkness and depth. "That's right. Isn't it wonderful to be a star-crossed couple with you? At least it's better than dying alone in Yama."
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Rong Su was stunned for a moment and pursed her lips: "That's not what I meant."
Shen Peiqing looked at her silently, and a complex expression flashed in his deep black eyes, like the distant stars in the night sky, flickering.
I know you're not.
But only in this way can I see how worried you are about me, and be sure of one thing: I have a place in your heart, and I am not just a passer-by.
He slowly lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow, covering the surging emotions in his eyes, and he did not say what was in his heart.
Rong Su didn't understand what he was thinking, but the current situation didn't give them any extra time to talk.
The Beizhou Army has surrounded them with weapons, and now they can only become birds in someone else's cage.
Xiao Yilin smiled triumphantly, stood up tremblingly with the help of the general, and spoke to Shen Peiqing arrogantly.
"Shen Peiqing, I didn't expect you to be alive like this. It seems like the evil will last for a thousand years! But today you won't be so lucky!"
Shen Peiqing was not afraid at all, his expression was calm: "Really?"
It was obvious that Shen Peiqing's attitude was too calm, which angered Xiao Yilin. He was so angry that he directly ordered: "I want to see how long you can be so arrogant. Kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Beizhou Army began to move and officially started fighting with the people brought by Shen Peiqing.
Even though the people brought by Shen Peiqing were all highly skilled in martial arts, the Beizhou soldiers were outnumbered and powerful. In a short while, all the masters were knocked to the ground.
"Ahaha! Is struggling useful? Shen Peiqing, today is the day you die!" Xiao Yilin's face was twisted with laughter, like a ferocious beast.
As he spoke, Xiao Yilin took the bow and arrow handed to him and shot towards Shen Peiqing and Rong Su.
While Shen Peiqing was dealing with the Beizhou Army that was attacking him, he refused to let Rong Su go. Rong Su looked anxious, but he really didn't dare to move, otherwise he would get hurt during the fight.
Seeing Xiao Yilin's arrow coming towards her, she wanted to reach out and help Shen Peiqing catch it, even if her hand would be seriously injured.
Shen Peiqing noticed her actions and suddenly chopped down the enemy in front of him with a sword. Then he hugged her, turned over, and chopped the flying arrow with a sword. The arrow was split into two halves in mid-air by the long sword and fell to the ground like a kite, losing its momentum.
His expression was full of tension, and he shouted at her angrily: "Are you crazy? Don't you want your hand back?"
Rong Su was frightened by his yell, but when she saw the uneasiness and worry in his eyes, she realized that this man was a person who liked to be awkward.
After she understood, her dissatisfaction with him seemed to disappear instantly.
Seeing that he hadn't shot Shen Peiqing, Xiao Yilin's face was full of viciousness: "I don't believe that I can't kill you!"
He narrowed his eyes, moved the arrow away from Shen Peiqing, and his gaze fell on Rong Su in Shen Peiqing's arms, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Since you care so much about the woman who killed you, then well, I'll see if you will die again for her."
This time, when Xiao Yilin was shooting the arrow, he was first discovered by Shen Peiqing. Without hesitation, he hugged Rong Su, turned around, and blocked it with his back. Rong Su was wondering why he suddenly changed direction, but when she saw Xiao Yilin's actions, she understood.
"Shen Peiqing! Let me go!" She struggled anxiously, feeling extremely scared.
But Shen Peiqing held her tightly, looked at her, and suddenly a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Why? I just want you to owe me more. That way, you'll never be able to leave me. After all, you owe me a debt that you can't repay."
When Rong Su saw Xiao Yilin's arrow coming towards her, tears welled up in her eyes in panic. She desperately wanted Shen Peiqing to let her go and avoid the arrow.
"Shen Peiqing! Let me go, get out of the way!"
He knew that he couldn't escape by holding her, but he seemed not to care about getting hurt and comforted her with a smile.
Rong Su's vision was already filled with blurred tears, and her heart was about to stop beating. How could he be so stupid, how could he be so stubborn!
The arrow had pierced Shen Peiqing's back. At that moment, she heard her heart stop and hugged him in horror.
"Shen Peiqing!"
Shen Peiqing frowned, endured the pain, and smiled at her: "Why are you shouting so loudly? My ears can't bear it."
"It's already this time! And you're still like this!" Rong Su cried anxiously, her voice becoming hoarse.
"It's okay, there will be results soon." Shen Peiqing glanced somewhere, suddenly raised his hand, gently stroked her head, and curled the corners of his mouth.
What do you mean?
When Xiao Yilin saw Shen Peiqing was hit by an arrow, he was laughing wildly, his face full of pride and distortion, and was about to shoot the second arrow.
But when he pulled the bow, an arrow shot towards him from another direction, and Xiao Yilin didn't have time to react.
The arrow pierced Xiao Yilin's chest. He looked down in disbelief, then looked somewhere with a ferocious face.
"cannot......"
The general standing not far from him saw this and was surprised for a moment, and then two teams of people rushed into the palace.
Those Northern Continent troops simply couldn't withstand it.
"General, this is bad! Thirty thousand men have broken into the palace from all corners, and we've already suffered heavy casualties!"
When the general heard this, he thought to himself that this was not good and immediately raised his weapon and shouted, "Retreat!"
"Oh, you still want to run! It's not that easy!" At this time, General Niu came galloping on his horse, and knocked the general down with the big knife in his hand. The general was thrown several feet away by the big knife, and hit the palace wall with a look of fear. He tilted his head and died.
The leaders of the Beizhou army were all killed, and everyone was in a panic, like a blind fly, not knowing what to do.
In the end, in order to survive, they had to throw their weapons to the ground.
General Niu and Zhou Di quickly got off their horses and walked in front of Shen Peiqing and Rong Su.
When Rong Su saw them, she immediately said to them with red eyes: "Quick, bring Shen Peiqing to Su Pavilion for me. I want to show him my back!"
General Niu and Zhou Di looked at each other, then looked at the arrow on Shen Peiqing's back, and then sent him to Su Pavilion as Rong Su requested.
