I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 222 Yan Xiao is incompetent and failed to protect Kyoto for His Majesty

Shengzhou is like a dead city.

Just like what Memento predicted.

Rong Cen stumbled down Zhuque Street, and when he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he didn't see anyone.

Jiang Yun chased after him, and the two argued again.

Rong Cen threw him away with all his strength and was about to leave when he saw someone running out of the palace.

It was a man wearing armor and carrying a sword.

An old acquaintance, Song Zeng.

Seeing her, the other party was surprised: "Princess? Why are you back?"

His first sentence was not to inform him of the current situation, but to wonder why she came back.

There are ghosts!

Rong Cen looked coldly: "Where is your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is in the underground palace, his life is not in danger!" Song Zeng's eyes widened when she saw the people standing behind her, as if she just remembered, "Nan Nanxun is coming! Three hundred thousand strong soldiers and horses, Shengzhou military guards resist If you don’t stay, I’m ordered to dispatch troops to nearby Lingzhou!”

"Where are Wen Renxu and Yan Wuxie?"

"Die, die!"

Rong Cen grabbed his collar. Song Zeng swallowed his saliva and pointed at Jiang Yundao, "Princess, this is the man who killed 300,000 cavalry and leveled Kyoto! The hatred of the country and the family cannot be shielded!"

"Ask me again, where is Wen Renxu?"

Rong Cen's eyes were red and her voice was cold. She was extremely impatient now, and her expression was like looking at a dead person.

"What I said is true, he is really dead!"

Rong Cen let go and threw the man away. Song Zeng lost strength and fell on the body. She stepped on his fat and round belly, crushed it with her toes, and said in a rare and ferocious tone: "The person behind you is Who is it, let him come to see me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody sword was placed across his neck, the blade of the sword was in close contact with his skin, and the blood on the sword fell from top to bottom, dripping into his eyes, nose, and mouth.

The sweet smell of rust spreads, and the sudden and nameless fear climbs wildly.

Song Zeng didn't dare to move, swallowed his saliva frantically, and thought about his words.

I regretted it so much at this moment, he shouldn't have come out just now!

The first time he saw Rong Cen, he should have hidden in the dark and found someone to kill her secretly! Rather than showing up on his own initiative because he was afraid of the Crown Prince Nanxun and his 300,000 cavalry!

Yes, the people who tortured and killed the people of Shengzhou were not the Nanxun army at all, but actually Dayin's own people in disguise!
But can he tell the princess this? Although Rong Cen had been an empress, she was at a disadvantage now and told her that if that person knew about it, she would have no way to survive.

"Stop using crooked thoughts and do it realistically!"

The blade of the sword cut through Song Zeng's neck. If it went a few centimeters deeper, she would have broken her throat and died.

"I say! I say anything!"

Whether due to Jiang Yun's pressure or survival instinct, Song Zeng begged for mercy.

Rong Cen looked at him sideways with sharp eyes: "Let me ask you for the last time, where is Wen Renxu?"

"Prison."

Hasn't it been burned?

Rong Cen didn't study it in detail.

All he knew was that things were different now. A few days ago, he had everything in his hands, but now, being thrown there, his situation would definitely not be any better.

"Let's go there first and talk slowly on the way."

The rebellion just now was just for show, to see if he could attract any foxes. Jiang Yun patted Rong Cen on the shoulder to comfort him, "I brought medicine with me in case of emergency, don't worry."

The three of them headed towards the prison without stopping.

On the way, they learned that the Duke of Bang was rebelling, and Rong Zhu and his ministers were all trapped in the Jinluan Palace. The Duke of the state was Zhong Jianting, the late emperor's right-hand man and a general at that time. He was invincible in every battle and was highly regarded.

After Rong Cen ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Duke of his state. In consideration of his old age and weak physical strength, he was given thousands of hectares of fertile land and allowed to take off his armor and return to the fields to recuperate.

However, Zhong Jianting held a grudge because his military power was revoked, and was beguiled by others to join the Lu family, hoping to support the new master and regain power.

Although Rong Zhu successfully ascended the throne after the Lu family's uprising, all the Lu family's brothers and sisters died, and no one fulfilled their past promises.

As a result, Zhong Jianting became more and more sad and angry, and continued to do anything. He coerced the new emperor to order his ministers to seek power and usurp the throne.

Zhong Jianting joined the army in the 18th year, fought hard for five years, commanded the armed forces for 23 years, and stayed at home for four years. At over fifty years old, he still has power in the army and responds to every call.

In this incident, he had 20,000 personal soldiers, combined with 100,000 military guards from Shengzhou, 20,000 each from Weizhou and Lingzhou, for a total of 160,000 troops.

It was too late to mobilize troops from other states. Fortunately, Jiang Yun's 300,000 troops were just outside the city and could be borrowed by Rong Cen in an emergency. Shao En was ordered to rush to rescue them.

Don't worry about that for now, the most important thing for Rong Cen right now is to save Wen Renxu.

When we arrived at the place, we saw that Renxu was dying.

"Yan Xiao!"

His body was covered with swords and had been stabbed with various holes. He was scarred and bleeding.

Rong Cen was dazzled by the sight, her face was filled with tears, her vision was blurred, she stretched out her hands to cover the leaks, she hated that she only had two hands!
Some of the wounds had scabbed over, and some blood was still flowing warmly. There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body.

"Your Majesty... don't cry..."

Wen Renxu breathes out more than he breathes in, and he has to pause and take a long breath to say a word.

"I'll find a doctor for you, no, Kong Lan! Tang Hua! They'll be here soon! Hold on, don't... sleep!"

"Yan, Xiao... are... incompetent, and have not... guarded... the capital... for... His Majesty..."

Even though he knew in his heart that she was already Princess Mingzhao, he still called her Your Majesty selfishly.

He originally wanted to go to Nanxun with his troops, but His Majesty said, how can a dignified general leave Kyoto? Even if you want to go, you still have to put the reform matters at hand to a perfect conclusion! Also, what about the promise to marry the girl from Tunan after returning from disaster relief? How can you leave Dayin if you haven't done such an important thing?

Piles and piles blocked his feet.

But fortunately, he stayed and fought back to the death. Fifty thousand soldiers were killed, injured, and some were captured and imprisoned. Although he could not protect Shengzhou City by himself, he could try his best to delay some time and wait for reinforcements.

Not long after His Majesty's team left, he sent his deputy Yao Cheng to report the news, but was shot through the heart by Zhong Jianting's thousands of arrows and died.

The prime minister and his wife were captured and used to threaten him into surrender. His father believed in the death of civil servants and advised the warriors to fight to the death. After his persuasion failed, he jumped off the tower. Her mother died in love.

The Duke of Fu was imprisoned, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan was escorted to the prison.

I only heard that Renxu had the freedom to fight outside, but was unable to protect the king and the people.

He had been in the army for four years and experienced countless battles, but in this battle, too many people really died.

Military guards, civilians, there were dead people everywhere. The four main streets in Kyoto are filled with corpses, and you have to step on countless corpses while walking.

"You've done a great job, Yan Xiao! Don't talk and don't have any luck."

There were so many injuries on his body that Rong Cen didn't dare to move easily. He took Jiang Yun's medicine and applied it first. They were all for treating trauma anyway, and then gave him medicine to strengthen his body and strengthen his body.

There were several kinds. After confirming that there would be no adverse reactions due to conflicting properties of the medicines, he crushed the pills and sprinkled the powder into his mouth, lubricating it with saliva.

This place was dark, humid, dirty and messy, and wounds could easily become contaminated and inflamed. Wen Renxu had to dig out the rotten flesh, and he must be in pain all over now.

Rong Cen asked Jiang Yun again for Ma Fei Powder. It was not recommended, but in special circumstances, he was asked to take it easy.

Sure enough, once the anesthesia and pain relief came on, Wen Renxu really felt better, and the cold sweat on his forehead no longer broke out.

Rong Cen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it worked, it meant that he was in a good condition.

But she forgot that there is a word called "returning to the light".
