War of the Lords

Chapter 15
"The archers shot and killed the thorn flower troops on the spot, and the shieldmen and bandits rushed with me." Zhu Huazhen led the soldiers and rushed up.

Although there are still about 50 people on Thorn Flower's side, but without the hero command, there has been a problem with the formation, and Chen Le's few people have found opportunities to fight back.

Seeing that the thorn flower troops around him were still attacking his subordinates, Chen Le turned around and chopped off Chu Kaiyuan's head, holding it in his hand.

"Chu Kaiyuan is dead, and the reinforcements have arrived. Don't be stubborn, or waiting for everyone is treason, treason." Chen Le shouted loudly, exhausting all his strength.

When the thorn flower army saw Chu Kaiyuan's head, they finally became confused. This army, which had never been defeated before, lost its fighting power for the first time this time and retreated quickly.

When Zhu Huazhen came close and watched the thorn flower troops recede, she realized that she hadn't fought yet, and the thorn flower troops had run away anyway, but she probably knew what was going on when she saw the head in Chen Le's hand.

Chen Le watched the thorn flower recede, couldn't stand anymore, sat down slowly, supported his body with the sword, he was afraid that he would fall asleep and the thorn flower would come back.

Zhu Huazhen looked at the 5 carriages, and there were 2 other living people who sat down beside the wheels of the carriages, and they were all exhausted, gasping for breath.

Zhu Huazhen approached Chen Le cautiously.

"Hey, does the 1000 gold coins you promised count?" Zhu Huazhen asked.

After waiting for a while, there was no response, and he continued, "Hey, you don't want to renege on your debt, do you? It's also very hard for me to come here."

Still no response this time.

Zhu Huazhen tentatively pushed Chen Le, but unexpectedly collapsed, stepped forward to sniff, and was no longer breathing.

"Huh, I was scared to death. You two saw it. I didn't kill him. You pushed him and he died." Zhu Huazhen looked innocently at the last two people who were wide open.

Looking at the question marks displayed on their attributes, I am in a difficult situation, should I kill or save?
One of them asked loudly when Zhu Huazhen said that Chen Le was dead.

"Why did you come here now? Do you know how the 20 of us made it all the way here?" It was a female warrior who spoke, most of the leather armor on her body had been destroyed, and her fair skin was covered by bright red blood.

"What does this have to do with me? Don't think I'm here to save you." Zhu Huazhen looked at them and said, after all, they are fish on the cutting board now.

"Don't talk about Chen Xiaoqiao. Brother Chen Le is dead, but we still have tasks. My friend 1000 gold coins, brother Chen Le agreed. The gold coins are in the third carriage. You can ask someone to get them. There are 1 in them, as long as you can get them." You can go as you please. In addition, you can take whatever you want in these carriages. We only need one carriage, let the three of us go." Another young man said.

"It seems that you can still see the form clearly. What's your name? Are you interested in coming to my territory?" Zhu Huazhen immediately started poaching.

"I forgot to introduce, I am the Royal Knights of the Fire Empire, just call me Zhang San, now we have a mission, if you want me to stay, I will stay, why don't you let Chen Xiaoqiao and His Highness go?"

"Let me think about it." Zhu Huazhen had already ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.

Just now Chen Le said that there are reinforcements, and he can't stay here for long, so he has to make a quick decision.

"I have decided to kidnap your highness, and I will not kill you. You just need to know that I am Zhu Wenxi, the lord of grace." Zhu Huazhen knocked the two of them unconscious just after finishing speaking.

"Hurry up and find the things on the leader, open all the carriage compartments, and I'll collect the money." Zhu Huazhen said anxiously.

Zhu Huazhen looked at the props she got in the backpack in the past few days, and threw them all out, leaving only a teddy bear.Then I took away the equipment and weapons of the question mark heroes Chen Le and Chu Kaiyuan, and put all other items, skill books and architectural drawings into the backpack. Seeing that the 40 grid backpack was full, the rest had to be discarded.

Zhu Huazhen was afraid that she would run away later, bringing too many things would definitely slow down the script, and the sky was also gloomy, it seemed that a storm was coming.

After touching the corpse, I came to the carriage, a cart of daily necessities, a cart of treasures, a cart of books, an empty cart, and a cart that Liu Yongle just sat in.

Seeing that the gold coins rose by 1 in one fell swoop, the smile disappeared from my eyes, and those treasures and books left without reading, leading the soldiers to pick up Liu Yongle and leave.

As for why he didn't drive away in a carriage, there were wheel marks on it, and he definitely couldn't take the main road or the small road, so he could only retreat into the forest.

Just when they were about to retreat, the sky gradually began to rain.

While retreating, it suddenly occurred to me that what I had captured was the prince. I didn't understand this world yet, so if I just grabbed a prince and ran back swaggeringly, wouldn't that directly expose my territory to others?
Zhu Huazhen was shocked, but luckily she didn't run a few kilometers, and it was raining, which covered up some of the traces, so she decided to run a few laps here before turning back to the territory.

"Adjust the direction, don't return to the territory for the time being, follow me." After speaking, Zhu Huazhen changed the direction and continued to explore the dark area.

Along the way, they walked around these monsters without stopping. It was getting dark and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Zhu Huazhen saw that it was almost done, so she walked towards the territory.

After Zhu Huazhen and the others left, less than half an hour later, Chen Xiaoqiao and Zhang San slowly woke up, looking at the mess around them, and His Highness disappeared, knowing that they were taken away by the lord of Zhu Wenxi.They leaned against each other, regained some strength, and then carried Chen Le's corpses onto the carriage.

"Brother Chen Le promised reinforcements, why haven't they come yet?" Chen Xiaoqiao complained while crying.

At this moment, a group of cavalry indeed appeared in the distance, approaching quickly, looking at the flags in their hands, Chen Xiaoqiao confirmed that reinforcements were coming.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow? .” Chen Xiaoqiao cried and laughed.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, Zhang San saw that there were too few of them, only one large group. Seeing them approaching quickly, Zhang San was not as relaxed as before, but secretly became vigilant.

"Zhang Xiaoqiao, listen, you will hide in the corpse first and recover your fighting spirit first, and I will deal with it first to prevent the situation from changing." Zhang San said worriedly.

"Why are you still so nervous when the Red Blood reinforcements came? Shouldn't you find His Highness first? Your Majesty has been unable to hold on for a few days." Chen Xiaoqiao said unhappy.

"Listen to me, go quickly, or you will run out of time. If you have any questions, ask back. Now do as I say, hurry up." Zhang San was really anxious and shouted.

"How fierce are you? I'll go somewhere and pretend to be dead." Chen Xiaoqiao pointed to a pile of corpses unwillingly.

Chen Xiaoqiao quickly hid under the corpse, when a large group of cavalry arrived.

"Hello, I'm from the Royal Knights. This is the token." Zhang San reported his name first, and took out the token from the space ring.

If Zhu Huazhen knew that there was a space ring or something, would she be so angry that she vomited blood.

"Hello Brother Zhang San, we belong to the Red Blood Cavalry Regiment. I am Li Zhenbei, the head of the regiment. I was ordered to come to reinforce. Where is Your Highness?" Li Zhenbei looked at Zhang San alone and asked in confusion.

"His Royal Highness was taken away by a lord named Zhu Wenxi. The leader of the band, Chen, and the others are all dead. Please take me back to Raging Fire City quickly. If something big happened here, I will report it to Your Majesty." Zhang San said .

"Okay, you ride his horse to Raging Fire City, and I'm sending two people to go with you. We'll deal with these corpses, and we'll chase them in which direction they went." Li Zhenbei pointed to one of his assistants and said.

"This direction." Zhang San pointed to another direction where Zhu Huazhen and the others fled.

"Okay, send him on his way." Li Zhenbei said lightly.

The soldier who was delivering Zhang San's horse suddenly drew out his knife and stabbed it into Zhang San's chest.

"Puff puff puff, I knew it. Thorn flower fought with us for a long time and you didn't come. They ran away, and you showed up. It turns out that you are the third princess's back-up. It seems that you are all ready to support the third princess. Hateful The 800-year inheritance of my Raging Fire Empire has been ruled by a woman today, and there is no one in the Raging Fire, no one in the Raging Fire." Zhang San died after finishing speaking.

"When you go down, each corpse will be mended." Li Zhenbei ordered.

"Aren't your lord going after His Royal Highness?" the deputy asked.

"Use your brain, use your pig's brain." Li Zhenbei said, pointing at the other party.

"My pig's brain is used for eating, unlike your lord, who is brave, resourceful, brave and invincible." The deputy replied with a flattering smile.

"What Zhang San said is not necessarily right, even if it is right, should we send His Royal Highness back to the capital or not? Second, when we came, Thorn Flower and Chen Le died together, and His Royal Highness was kidnapped and fled to the capital. Zisu Kingdom, which is a subsidiary state of the Storm Empire, the sudden appearance of our red-blooded troops is likely to intensify conflicts, we have to ask the leaders for instructions, we are just running errands, don't put your head in there and let others chop it off." Li Zhenbei explained.

"The report has been made up, and there are indeed no survivors." A soldier came to report.

"The task is completed, go back and drink." If you don't get drunk today, you won't return.

When Li Zhenbei and the others walked away, Chen Xiaoqiao covered the wound on her stomach, sat up from the pile of corpses, gulped down a bottle of medicine in her hand.

Chen Xiaoqiao simply bandaged the wound. Chen Xiaoqiao kept her mouth open, but she couldn't make a sound. Tears mixed with rainwater flowed down her mouth into her body, and her burning heart was extinguished.

Chen Xiaoqiao put the bodies of several members of the National Guard on the carriage, and dragged them not to the Fire Empire, but to the direction of the Zisu Kingdom.Maybe she will spread the truth to the capital, maybe not, what does this have to do with her now, Chen Xiaoqiao?The only thing I need to do now is to have a group of children who have lost their parents to take care of, and the elderly who have lost their sons and daughters to support.

　This chapter is so difficult to write. I wrote it for 1 day, read it 5 times before and after, and revised it.Afraid of taking too many things and jumping behind, taking too little does not fit the scene.
