The Sichuan army guards wanted to protect Xiao Xiang and fight through the west city gate, but it was not easy. So many Zhenren rushed at him from all directions without hesitation, and they were unable to kill them all. However, the number of guards around Xiao Xiang became less and less.
When they finally rushed into the city gate, there were only about twenty guards left out of more than a hundred. The space in the city gate is quite small. Even if there are many Zhen people attacking them, they can't perform their attacks in such a small space.
The guard who was guarding Xiao Xiang finally got a chance to breathe. He shook off the blood on the spirit sword, bent down, gasped for air, and after a while, he raised his head and looked outside the city.
Looking beyond the chaste 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 was already 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 people in the city, while he led Xiao Xiang and the rest of the guards to charge outside the city.
The chastity in the city was finally resisted 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 to the number 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.
But not long after they rushed out of the city gate, dozens of arrows were suddenly shot down from the top of the city. Two guards were unable to dodge and were hit by the flying arrows.
"I heard the muffled sound of arrows piercing armor, and looked at the two guards. They had dozens of arrow shafts stuck in their backs. They fell to the ground, and they 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 flying arrows. 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 top of the city, and they just covered Xiao Xiang and the generals from rushing to the edge of the flood.
Pingcheng is not a dock after all, and most of the ships are parked in the depths of the flood. The guard glanced at it and without saying a word, he dragged Xiao Xiang into the flood and waded in the direction of the ships.
"It's just that traveling in the water greatly reduced their speed and their movements became less flexible. At this time, the threat of arrows flying down from the city top was even greater.
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 stuck in 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 and endured the pain of the arrow wound on his back. He pushed Xiao Xiang to the rope ladder of the ship and urged: "Your Majesty, get on the ship quickly!"
Xiao Xiang has never climbed a rope ladder before, but now in order to protect herself, she has 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, and finally climbed onto the deck of the ship with difficulty.
She had just boarded the boat and didn¡¯t even see clearly what was going on on the boat. Several steel knives suddenly came around her. Click, click, click! Several gleaming steel knives were placed on Xiao Xiang's neck.
She looked up and saw several big men standing around her. All of them had dark skin, full beards, and scary eyes.There was a fierce light, and when he gasped, a choking smell spewed out of his mouth.
In an instant, Xiao Xiang felt that all the strength in her body was drained. She fell down on the deck, her face turned pale, and she stared at the big men around her in stunned silence. The big men didn't say anything, they just put the knife on her neck silently.
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 just been relaxed immediately became tense again, and his eyes widened. , instinctively shouted loudly: "You are so presumptuous"
"Haha¡ª¡ª" 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, and tattooed 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 and then at Xiao Xiang. He looked up and 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¡ª¡ª"
The guard's palm subconsciously clenched the spiritual sword tightly, his eyes narrowed, and his mind changed rapidly. 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 without any warning used all his strength and flew towards the bald middle-aged man with his sword. Seeing him stabbing him with a sword, the bald middle-aged man didn't even try to dodge. He stood still without moving, with a cheerful expression on his face.
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. He punched the general in the chest with both fists, 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 clanging sound was heard in his ears. The man's fists were hitting the surface of the spirit sword. Due to its impact, the guard's body flew backwards. After landing, he couldn't stand, and he took three big steps back before he managed to 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, this person has such a high level of cultivation! He was shocked in his heart, but the opponent didn't give him a chance to breathe. He immediately rushed forward again, still punching his ribs with both fists.
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 forced 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 weird 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, still unwilling to give up. He raised his fists and hit 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, who was on the side, couldn't stand it any longer, and she 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 his eyes, 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 clenched her teeth and was silent for a moment. She said solemnly: "I know that someone has offered a bounty of a thousand taels of gold to buy 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.
When the big men around heard about the ten thousand taels of gold, their eyes all glowed with gold. Ten thousand taels of gold was enough to keep them fed and drinking for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have a heartbeat, Xiao Xiang asked anxiously: "What do you think? Jun WuxiYan, 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 her conditions, the bald middle-aged man suddenly stretched out his hand. , grabbed her neck and pulled her close to him, with a ferocious face, gritted his teeth and said: "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?" "
