C372 Guardian

After a long while, Xie Qingrong broke the silent atmosphere between the two, and asked indifferently: "How is it?"

Shen Haoxuan crossed his arms, a carefree smile hung on his face as he replied extremely complacently: "With me coming out, I guarantee …"

Shen Haoxuan had not finished speaking, but after being stared at by him expressionlessly, he immediately covered his mouth.

Seeing that Xie Qingrong had shifted her gaze away from her mouth, he released her hand and said softly: "The Army of Chu has already prepared for us, we have only taken advantage of the chaos to take care of two to three thousand Army of Chu s."

Xie Qingrong coldly nodded her head. Towards this result, Xie Qingrong was already very satisfied.

To them, being able to kill a hundred Army of Chu s was also very beneficial, let alone entering two to three thousand.

Xie Qingrong rubbed her forehead. After fighting in the army for a few days, her body was already extremely tired. If not for the air in her heart supporting her, she would have collapsed long ago.

Shen Haoxuan saw the tiredness that flashed across Xie Qingrong's face, and said in a low voice: "Crown Princess, Army of Chu will temporarily withdraw from the army. You should rest early today, maybe you'll have to accept the battle tomorrow, so don't harm your body."

Xie Qingrong did not bother with Shen Haoxuan's comforting, and continued to speak. "There are less than three thousand people left in garrison soldier, but there are still over twenty thousand, so tomorrow's battle might not be easy. The reinforcement troops will arrive in at most three days. I'm afraid that Jiang Prefecture really won't be able to hold on this time. "

Knitting her eyebrows, she continued, "Haoxuan, tomorrow you will bring five hundred soldiers and go door to door. You will take all the old, weak, disabled, women and children away from this land of war. "Do not worry, you must ensure their safety. If there is any accident, I will only ask you."

Shen Haoxuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to refute Xie Qingrong's decision. But after looking at Xie Qingrong's resolute eyes and unquestionable face, he managed to suppress his thoughts to the depths of his heart.

"Alright, I promise you. However, you must promise me that no matter what, you must live on. If you die, Xuanyuan Chen will go crazy. " Shen Haoxuan held onto Xie Qingrong's thin shoulder. His originally round and smooth face had now become extremely thin.

His chin was pointed and his eyes were black. This proved that this person had never had a good rest.

Xie Qingrong patted the hand that Shen Haoxuan was holding on her shoulder, and nodded her head. However, in her heart, she had long decided to live or die with Jiang Zhou.

Just as Shen Haoxuan was about to turn around to rest, the Army of Chu who was already stationed at a distance of two kilometres came back to kill him.

The sound of the horn blowing slowly came from a distance of one or two kilometers away, it was indistinct, but Shen Haoxuan was a martial artist, so Xie Qingrong could catch any unusual factors from the unsettled air.

Thus, when the two of them heard the horn, Shen Haoxuan saw Xie Qingrong's dark face and cursed: "Bastard."

Who would have thought that Army of Chu would throw herself at them so recklessly? After fighting for two days and two nights straight, they were unable to exhaust any of their energy and could only get braver as they fought.

Shen Haoxuan immediately set up a big drum on the city gate tower, the sound of the drum resonated through the skies, waking up the soldiers who had finally fallen asleep.

He immediately put on his clothes and went to meet up at the city gate.

Xie Qingrong gave five hundred soldiers to Shen Haoxuan, and told him to immediately do what she had ordered him to do.

Shen Haoxuan immediately understood and knew that Xie Qingrong planned to take advantage of the dark time, when it was not easy for people to notice the situation, and evacuate the people who needed to be taken care of and protected overnight.

After leaving behind the last line of "You must live on," Shen Haoxuan left with the five hundred soldiers without even looking back.

Now, only two thousand garrison soldier s remained. Furthermore, all the soldiers of the north and south city towers had been transferred over, leaving behind only fifty guards.

But against twenty thousand Army of Chu, it was still a tough battle.

Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, wanting to say something to motivate the soldiers, but someone else had already taken her place.

Jiang Yizhou stood in front of all the soldiers and asked passionately: "Brothers, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" Although they knew that the soldier standing beside them was not the same person from a few days ago, and knew that this might be the last time they would protect the Jiang Zhou City and the citizens of the Jiang Zhou City.

However, none of them backed off. Instead, they all took a step forward and became more determined.

"I have served in the Jiang Prefecture for four to five years. In the short span of a few days, I have gone from a weak scholar who knows nothing to a soldier who can lift his hand easily. Do you know why?"

Jiang Yizhou purposely kept them in suspense, wanting to keep their curiosity in suspense.

As expected, these people became interested and asked in doubt, "Why?"

Why, of course, because this was a life or death situation. Other than picking up the sword in his hand, what else could he do?

Jiang Yizhou laughed softly, remembering the first time he had witnessed such a bloody scene. His heart unconsciously revealed a slight fear and cowardice.

At this moment, the determination and conviction that lingered in his eyes slowly faded away, and he truly became a calm and dependable person.

He smiled and said, "I am the father and mother official of Jiang Prefecture. I should have done everything I can for Jiang Prefecture. As ordinary citizens, you guys are willing to sacrifice your heads and shed blood for Jiang Prefecture, so why can't I do the same? "

With just a few words, the determination, faith, and passion in the soldiers' hearts were triggered. They shouted the slogan from that day together, "The Jiang Prefecture cannot be destroyed, the people cannot be killed, and the Heavenly Sage cannot be destroyed."

The Jiang Prefecture was unbreakable!

The people must not die!

A Heavenly Saint was indestructible!

Amidst this shouting, it carried the countless faith and perseverance of the warriors of the Jiang Zhou City.

Not long after, a group of youths from the Jiang Zhou City entered the city gate tower from the stairs.

The young man dressed in coarse hemp kneeled on the ground, faced Xie Qingrong, and said respectfully: "This humble one is the descendant raised by Jiang Zhou City, this humble one is willing to offer a little bit of energy to Jiang Zhou City."

However, he turned his body and pointed at the group of young men in coarse clothes following him. He then whispered, "Crown Princess, these people have volunteered to join the Jiang Zhou City's protection team. I hope Crown Princess doesn't dislike the common folk."

This young man was obviously the leader of this group. As soon as he finished speaking, the group of young men followed him and kneeled on the ground. They repeated what the young man had said, "Crown Princess, please do not despise this subject."

His words were calm, but sonorous and forceful.

Xie Qingrong raised her head slightly, and estimated their numbers to be around four to five hundred people.

Even though it wasn't much, it wasn't a small amount of strength.
