General Zhou's sword was blocked by Bai Xiao, and before the other soldiers could react, the city lord, who was incompetent in martial arts, was thrown in front of Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi by Wu You and Wu Lu like a dead pig.
"Bang!"
Wu You punched him in the face, and the city lord covered the left side of his face that instantly swelled in disbelief.
"You, you, you dare to hit me, do you know my identity?"
"Bang!"
Wu Lu added a punch and dared to speak harshly!
"Ah, they murdered the imperial officials, are you all dead? Hurry up and capture them!"
The city lord crawled toward the Dongyi soldiers in horror. What a group of barbarians. They didn't even say a word and just took action.
After climbing two steps, Wu You grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
"Whoever dares to move! He will not be punched, but knifed!"
The city lord's life was already in his hands, and those Dongyi soldiers who were ready to make a move could only watch.
If any of them acted rashly and killed the city lord, it would be them who would die.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
"Ah, ah, don't fight, don't fight. It's because of my bad mouth. I said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, please spare me."
The Dongyi soldiers couldn't intervene, so they just watched the city lord helplessly. One side of his face swelled, then the other side, until it became a well-proportioned pig's head.
"General Zhou, if you don't stop, that pig's head will be dead."
Bai Xiao also threatened, and the city lord heard this and shouted quickly.
"General Zhou, please stop, please stop, please save me."
General Zhou put away his sword in frustration. What kind of cruel guards are these?
It turns out that anyone who comes out at random can fight alone with him, a general guarding the border.
How can such a spy be captured? A wheel-and-wheel battle? Can the city lord's life be saved?
For the safety of Dongyi Kingdom, he would never allow such a powerful spy to leave alive.
General Zhou's eyes became more and more sharp, and he slowly raised his hand, which meant that he wanted to issue an attack order.
But he didn't expect that the first person to be afraid was the city lord.
"General Zhou! I am the Queen's cousin. You, you can't ignore me. If I make any mistake, the Queen will not let you go."
General Zhou's raised hand paused for a moment. Just when he was at war between his own interests and the interests of the Dongyi Kingdom.
Chu Yunxi curled her lips and smiled.
"It turns out that you were ordered by the Queen. Did the Queen tell you our identities?"
"You, you are spies sent by Yunxiao Kingdom!"
The city lord was still adamant, but as soon as he said these words, he felt pain in his neck. He raised his hand and wiped it, and it turned bright red.
"Ah, blood, blood, don't kill me, don't kill me."
He was so frightened that he screamed like a slaughtering pig.
Chu Yunxi put on a harmless face and tried to persuade him.
"I will give you another chance. As long as you tell the truth, I will let them let you go immediately. You know they all listen to me."
Chu Yunxi pointed at Wu You and Wu Lu.
The city lord's mind was spinning rapidly. This woman was right. The two men who were now threatening his life were indeed her subordinates.
"You, you keep your word?"
Chu Yunxi nodded very seriously.
"A promise can never be followed by a horse."
The city lord wanted to cry, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a woman. He closed his eyes and confessed everything in frustration.
"It was the Queen who said that you are the crown prince and crown princess of the Yunxiao Kingdom and the accomplices who killed the eldest prince. Killing you will not only avenge the eldest prince, but also make great contributions to the Dongyi Kingdom."
Jun Lingyun looked at General Zhou who looked shocked. Obviously, he didn't know the whole situation.
"General Zhou, do you still want to kill us?"
Chu Yunxi added:
"We came to Dongyi to attend the crown prince ceremony of your Crown Prince Dongyi. We are friends with your new crown prince. The Yunxiao Kingdom and the Dongyi Kingdom have signed a hundred-year peace treaty. There will be no more wars within a hundred years. General Zhou
, do you want to be the eternal sinner who breaks the peace between the two countries?"
Jun Lingyun is cold and cold, so she should say a few more words for him.
General Zhou's hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, slowly lowered it. However, he changed from a posture of preparing to attack to one of defense, as if facing a powerful enemy.
The Prince of Yunxiao Kingdom? If the person in front of him is really the all-powerful Prince of War, then even if they all lose their lives here, they may not be able to keep him, right?
The city lord concealed the identity of these people, but if they were really responsible for the death of the eldest prince, how could he, a general of Dongyi, let go of the person who killed their Dongyi prince?
If you retreat in the face of a strong enemy? How is that different from deserting?
But if they have really reached an agreement with the new prince, then the death of the eldest prince is their internal matter in Dongyi.
General Zhou's mind was racing, but he was unable to deduce the real situation. The news from the capital had not yet reached the frontier.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yunxiao Kingdom, how many days would you like to stay here? We will entertain you with fine wine and delicious food. I will send people back to the capital to verify it. If what you say is true, I will definitely bear the thorn and plead guilty."
When General Zhou said this, he was already ready to fight to the death at any time.
Chu Yunxi shook his head calmly.
"General Zhou, there is no need to go to such trouble."
She took out the token given to her by Dongfang Huize, but she didn't expect that it would come in handy so quickly.
"General Zhou, please look at this. This is the gift given by your Crown Prince Dongyi before we left."
General Zhou only glanced at him, then hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Seeing the prince's order was as if His Royal Highness was here in person.
"I am blind and have offended the noble people. I hope that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Yunxiao Kingdom will not affect the peace between the two countries because of me."
"What if it's affected?"
Jun Lingyun is very vindictive. He disturbed Xi'er's sleep. Do you want him to let it go with just one sentence? He has to scare General Zhou and collect some interest.
General Zhou's face turned red from holding back. It seemed that he couldn't go back today.
The queen actually ignored the Dongyi Kingdom for her own selfish interests! Now he, the unlucky one, is the only one to take the blame.
Even if he doesn't take the initiative to seek death, people can't do anything to him with the crown prince's order? He might as well preserve his integrity.
The city lord on the side was also frightened and wanted to remind General Zhou that since he had already offended him so badly, he might as well kill him to avoid future troubles.
But he has been frightened by Wu You and Wu Li, and now he dare not say a word. He is afraid that if he makes a sound, he will die earlier than General Zhou.
General Zhou raised his head, as if he was looking forward to death.
"I am willing to die to apologize."
After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and wiped it directly on his neck.
"General!"
The soldiers brought by General Zhou shouted in horror, since they turned away.
I thought I would see my general's blood spilled on the spot, and I was filled with grief. However, I saw Jun Lingyun raised his foot and kicked General Zhou's wrist. The sword in his hand was kicked away.
"Save your life and report everything that happened today to your Emperor Dongyi. Is it possible for you to do it?"
General Zhou didn't expect that he was still alive, and his chest couldn't help but rise and fall. Hearing Jun Lingyun's words, he couldn't agree with her. He would definitely report the Queen's crimes of bending the law for personal gain and avenging private revenge one by one.
"Thank you, Prince Yunxiao, for not killing me. I will definitely do it."
