I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 387: His Highness is so majestic?
The royal city of Loulan.

"What's the noise?"

The sudden shouts and cries of killing in the city woke the Loulan King Qibuchu from his sleep. He pushed away the beauty in his arms, picked up his scimitar, put on his robe, opened the door and went out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is still unclear. I have ordered people to investigate."

The attendant who was about to knock on the palace door to wake up Qibuchu was startled and knelt down to report in panic.

Even though the situation is still unclear, everyone can see that the situation is extremely bad.

Because the royal city was not large and the walls were not high, they could already see the fires burning everywhere outside the royal city from where they stood, and the deafening shouts of killing came from all directions, with a momentum greater than that of all the soldiers of Loulan combined.

"What else are you exploring?!"

Qibuchu's face turned pale with fear, and he shouted loudly,

"Immediately gather the palace guards, prepare the best war horses, and escort me and the two princes out of the city first, all the way to Yanqi. Everything will be decided after my safety is ensured!"

"Then the king's concubine and the princes and nobles in the city..."

The attendant asked subconsciously.

"If they flee with me, who will face these enemies who come from nowhere?"

Qibuchu's eyes turned cold, he drew out his scimitar and cursed,

"Why don't you go quickly?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The attendant dared not say anything more and hurried off to do his work.

"what on earth is it?"

Until now, Qibuchu still hasn't figured out what happened tonight and who were the people causing chaos in the city... After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had maintained good relations with the surrounding countries over the years, and these countries were all Tocharians, so no country should declare war on him without authorization.

Even the same was true for the Huns north of the Tianshan Mountains. In the past few years, he had always obeyed the Huns' orders, robbed and killed many Han envoys, and was never stingy in contributing money and beauties. The Huns had no reason to attack him.

If it weren't for the fact that he or the Kingdom of Loulan had any hatred with any other country.

Then only the big man in the east is left.

But does the Han Dynasty have this strength?

Since the Han Dynasty's envoys first visited the Western Regions decades ago, countless people have been captured by the Huns.

At first, the Han envoys came with valuable gifts, and all the countries treated them with courtesy. Later, under the threat of the Huns, the countries refused to provide water and food to the Han envoys. However, some people coveted the large amount of property brought by the Han envoys, and gradually they began to use force to detain them, until finally they started killing and robbing.

The Han Dynasty never responded to this, and continued to send envoys to negotiate and explore further afield, always treating them with courtesy.

Over time.

In the eyes of the Western Regions, the Han envoys were like docile and fat sheep. Although the Han was very rich, he was just an honest man who was kind and could be deceived.

They blackmailed, extorted, detained and killed Han envoys.

Some countries even deliberately watched the Han envoys die of thirst or starvation, so that they could take away the property brought by the legitimate Han delegation without even raising a knife.

No one, or country, has ever paid the price for this.

Therefore, Qibuchu would never believe that what happened tonight was related to the Han Dynasty, even if the Han Dynasty really had the strength... The Han Dynasty's envoy said that the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and conquered the Wolf's Lair a few years ago... But the Xiongnu people did not admit it. God knows whether it is true or not. At least from the previous situation of the Han envoy and the Han Dynasty's reaction, the Han Dynasty is still the honest man who is kind and can be deceived.

How could an honest person suddenly change his character?
Besides, he was just like other countries, ordering the robbery and killing of some Han envoys and looting some property. It was not a big deal. Honest people like the Han people should not be so unreasonable, right?

With these in mind.

Qibuchu had already returned to the hall, quickly changed into casual clothes, put on leather armor, and prepared to break out in the chaos.

In short, escape and save your life first.

If it was really an invasion by another country, they could send someone to invite the Hun envoy to come and seek justice. Given his loyalty to the Huns over the years, the Huns should not sit idly by.

"Your Majesty..." The beauty on the Hu bed has woken up. Seeing Qibuchu like this, she has obviously realized something and her face shows worry.

"You wait here, I'll be back soon!"

Qibuchu just glanced at her and then walked out of the palace without any reluctance.

……

"Your Highness, slow down! Slow down! How can you lead the way in front... Your Highness, be careful!"

Han Zeng rode his horse behind Liu Ju, shouting and yelling in surprise.

Even Guo Zhen and the personal soldiers who came with him were terrified. They rode their horses desperately and followed behind, trying their best to protect Liu Ju.

At this moment, Han Zeng suddenly noticed that on a stone building with torches not far away, a Loulan soldier was drawing his bow and drawing an arrow, and the direction of the arrow was pointing at where Liu Ju was.

Although the Loulan people's arrows were not as powerful as the Han crossbows, Liu Ju was wearing General Wei's gold and silver decorated tiger-faced black iron armor, which was extremely difficult to penetrate with one arrow.

However, there are gaps in the joints of the armor, and the helmet cannot completely protect the face and throat. If you are hit by an arrow by accident, your life will still be in danger.

Just now.

"die!"

Liu Ju suddenly stood up on his horse and threw out a hand halberd.

"Shh!"

Before Han Zeng finished speaking, he saw that the halberd had already penetrated into the chest of the Loulan soldier, and his body went limp and fell off the stone building.

"???"

Han Zeng's eyes nearly popped out of his head, and the words he was about to shout were instantly stuck in his throat.

What's going on? !
I have never heard of Liu Ju being known for his bravery before. Why is he so ferocious in battle? How well has he hidden himself before?
However, when Han Zeng saw the equally dumbfounded expressions on Guo Zhen and those bodyguards' faces, his suspicion and surprise instantly soared to an indescribable level.

What kind of expressions are they making?!
Could it be that even they don't know about this?

at the same time.

"Your Highness is so majestic?"

Some Jianzhang riders nearby also saw this shocking scene and were shocked for a moment.

They also had never thought that when Liu Ju said before that he would lead the charge, he actually meant it in the literal sense, without any discount, that he showed no fear when he first entered the battlefield, and that taking the enemy's head was as easy as taking something from a bag?

At the same time, they also noticed a strange phenomenon.

How did Liu Ju stand up from his horse just now?
Nowadays, when riding a horse, one has to clamp the stomach tightly with the legs to maintain the body shape. The feet have no foothold at all. How is it possible to stand up out of thin air?

However, there was no time to think about it.

As Liu Ju glanced back, Guo Zhen and several of his personal soldiers immediately came to their senses and hurriedly shouted at the top of their lungs as Liu Ju had instructed:

"Your Highness has already killed the enemy general with his halberd. How can we be willing to fall behind? Kill!"

"The enemy general has been shot dead by your highness. Men of the Jianzhang Cavalry, charge!"

"kill!!!"

For a moment, the Jianzhang knights, who had not yet figured out the situation, became greatly morale and charged forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Even some new recruits who had just entered the battlefield became more motivated, and some of them had already caught up and rushed ahead of Liu Ju.

"This……"

Han Zeng didn't quite understand.

How did he shoot and kill the enemy general?
The Loulan archer just now was not wearing armor, nor had any personal guards to protect him, and he didn't even have a face flag by his side. He didn't look like an enemy general at all, did he?
