Chapter 1265: Live and Die Together
Those secret guards risked their lives to rush into the hall just to protect their Emperor of Xiliang. They went forward bravely, not afraid of death, and joined the battle in the hall, just to sacrifice their lives to protect their Majesty.
The leader of the dark guard team who was seriously injured while protecting Li Tianjiao saw the dark guards rushing in from outside the hall and rushing towards Bai Qingyu one after another. He entangled Bai Qingyu, covered his bleeding arm, and slowly retreated to the corner of the hall while protecting Li Tianjiao with a long sword.
Bai Qingyu’s eyes were calm and dark, his sword energy was surging, he carried the force of wind and thunder, and his moves were quick killing moves. Wherever the cold light went, scalding blood mist sprayed, and his moves were like a rushing tide, so fast that it was difficult to see clearly, and even the afterimage was overwhelmed. It was completely impossible to tell that he was a person who had not recovered from a serious injury.
These top secret guards from Xiliang were no match for Bai Qingyu. It took the combined efforts of several of them to stop Bai Qingyu. Li Tianjiao gritted his teeth and retreated calmly. He regretted it deeply in his heart. He should have killed Bai Qingyu directly earlier.
The leader of the secret guard team swung his sword and cut open the golden cloth that bound Li Tianjiao. He said solemnly: “Your Majesty, we will do our best to stop the enemy. Your Majesty, please leave!”
There is a secret passage in the Xiliang Palace, which is usually kept secret and only known to the emperor of the time.
This was so that in extraordinary times the emperor could escape and leave hope for Xiliang.
Almost all of the emperor’s personal guards knew the palace where the secret passage was located, but they did not know where the secret passage was exactly. This was also to prevent the guards from betraying them.
At this time, the leader of the secret guard team said such words, and it was very obvious that he wanted Li Tianjiao to escape through the secret passage.
It is definitely impossible to get out of the door now. The secret passage is in this palace. As long as Li Tianjiao enters the secret passage, he can leave the city safely.
But… what the secret guard didn’t know was that Li Tianjiao didn’t even know where the secret passage was.
The previous emperor of Xiliang was assassinated by Bai Qingyun and had no time to tell Li Tianjiao the location of the secret passage.
Later, after Li Tianjiao ascended the throne, he searched everywhere when he was alone here but never found it. The blueprint of the palace in the library did not mark the location of the secret passage.
The people who designed and built the Xiliang Palace were all slaughtered by Li Tianjiao’s great-grandfather on the day the palace was completed.
What’s more, even if Li Tianjiao knew where the secret passage was, he would never go there!
“I won’t leave!” Li Tianjiao struggled to free herself from the cloth that bound her, clenching her teeth tightly, “I…will live and die with Xiliang!”
This was her last pride as the Emperor of Xiliang.
She could kneel down and beg General Cui Shanzhong of Xiliang to come out of retirement, but she could never abandon her country and run away to live in disgrace.
If Yunjing is destroyed, Xiliang will be destroyed.
As long as the country survives, the people will survive; if the country is destroyed, the people will die.
As early as when she went to ask General Cui Shanzhong to come out of retirement, she had already been prepared to sacrifice her life for the country.
Li Tianjiao rushed forward and picked up the long sword of the dead secret guard on the ground. She wished to fight the last battle for Xiliang together with those soldiers who were still sacrificing their lives for Xiliang. Even if she died… she would die on the land of Xiliang!
Perhaps it was Li Tianjiao’s fearless persistence that inspired these secret guards to fight to the death and sacrifice their lives for their country, and they became more and more courageous as they faced more setbacks.
The dark guard team led Li Tianjiao and stood behind, watching the dark guards rush forward one after another, but all died under Bai Qingyu’s sword.
However, Bai Qingyu was injured after all, and Doctor Hong’s medicine was mixed with the medicine prescribed by Doctor Xiliang. Although Bai Qingyu was barely awake, there were still some unpredictable reactions that made Bai Qingyu even more painful. At this time, he had to deal with seven or eight of Xiliang’s most powerful royal secret guards at the same time. Although he did not show it on his face, he knew that he was already struggling to hold on.
“He’s dying! Your Majesty… I’m afraid we can’t keep him alive!” The leader of the secret guard team, who had been protecting Li Tianjiao with blood flowing down his arms to the tip of his sword, said to Li Tianjiao, “But if you kill him, I might give it a desperate try!”
Li Tianjiao’s dark eyes were dim, but without the slightest hesitation, he gave the order: “Kill him!”
Now that the people of the Great Zhou have already attacked the gate of her palace, why is she still keeping Bai Qingyu! Even if she keeps Bai Qingyu now… Xiliang has no chance to negotiate with the Great Zhou.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the Emperor of the Great Zhou’s brother be buried with Xiliang! Buried with her!
The secret guards received the order and blew a whistle. Two of the secret guards who were besieging Bai Qingyu immediately retreated, protecting Li Tianjiao who was holding the long sword behind them. They rushed to Bai Qingyu at an extremely fast speed, and took advantage of the fact that Bai Qingyu had just pierced the chest of a Xiliang secret guard with a sword and had not yet had time to draw back the long sword, and quickly drew the sword…
Bai Qingyu moved his ears and heard the sound of the sword breaking through the air. Without waiting to pull out the sword from the corpse of the secret guard, he stepped on the red pillar and golden lotus base splattered with blood, jumped up, flipped sideways in the air, and avoided the sword energy. The broken hair on his temples was cut off by the sword energy.
Without waiting for Bai Qingyu to land, the secret guards who had just been fighting with Bai Qingyu, together with the secret guard team that was ready to go, all attacked towards the place where Bai Qingyu was about to land.
Suddenly, a sharp blade whistled in from outside the hall…
The leader of the dark guard team who had already attacked Bai Qingyu was forced to stagger back by the sharp sword energy that suddenly rushed past his eyelashes.
The long sword pierced into the red lacquered cylinder with the force of thunder. Bai Qingyu stepped on the hilt of the long sword and jumped up again. With the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Rongyan, who was wearing a mask, kicking the general of the Xiliang Imperial Guard into the hall.
He gritted his teeth and kicked the sword towards Xiao Rongyan. Although he used the power of Xiao Rongyan’s sword to jump out of the encirclement of several secret guards, the action of kicking the sword to Xiao Rongyan caused him to stagger backwards and hit his back hard against the pillar beside him. He knelt on one knee, holding his chest tightly, and could no longer hold back a fishy and sweet breath.
Xiao Rongyan jumped up and took the sword kicked by Bai Qingyu, then rushed forward at the speed of wind and thunder, with each move being murderous and ferocious. These royal secret guards were no match for Xiao Rongyan at all.
Li Tianjiao widened his eyes, looked at the mask, and accurately determined Xiao Rongyan’s identity… the ninth prince of Yan State!
It wasn’t the Bai family army, but the Ninth Prince of Yan State who came to rescue the brother of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? !
She suddenly felt cold both physically and mentally, so… the old general Cui Shanzhong’s plan of instigation did not work at all, and Yan State and Da Zhou were clearly competing for who would take Yunjing first. The Ninth Prince, who was the commander-in-chief of the Yan army, actually led his men to risk his life to rescue the brother of the Emperor of Da Zhou!
If the Emperor of the Great Zhou was trapped in Jiangzi City before, and the Ninth Prince of Yan State led troops to rescue and abandoned Yunjing, it was because he was a very moral person. But now, instead of leading the army to attack the city, he took the risk to rescue Bai Qingyu. This… cannot be summed up by the word morality.
