Countless blade-light and sword shadows interweaved, blood flying in all directions. The black armor was already covered with blood, but no traces of it could be seen. They only felt that the black armor had been drenched in water.
The soldiers of Jiang Prefecture who were on the city gate tower and the Army of Chu who was climbing up from the city gate tower in a steady stream had begun their battle.
You stabbed me in the stomach, and I cut your throat.
Corpses fell one after another on the city gate tower, and the entire city gate tower was littered with corpses.
Ye Jiaze held the long sword, the tip of the sword aimed straight at Xie Qingrong's throat, while the majority of the violet-gold whip in Xie Qingrong's hands lay quietly on the ground.
Their gazes met, and the two of them were like two merciless streaks of lightning as they emitted "crackling" sounds.
Hatred, rage, cold and indifferent.
"Xie Qingrong, today, I will use your blood to pay tribute to the 178 people of my Ye Family. I will chop off your head and take it to my father's grave. I will let him have a good look at your miserable state, and let him see that your bones are all gone. "
Ye Jiaze said coldly, his eyes overflowing with fury and hatred.
The grudge of killing his father had always been in his mind, like a gangrene that had attached itself to the bone. It gnawed fiercely on his bones, constantly reminding him to tear Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen into a thousand pieces in order to release the hatred in his heart.
Xie Qingrong stared coldly at Ye Jiaze, her eyes were ice-cold and full of mockery, and her words were filled with thick disdain and ridicule: "Has Sir Ye forgotten the time when he was severely injured by I? If Lord Ye doesn't mind, the I will not mind to help you go through your energy from that day again. "
With that said, the violet-gold whip in his hand made a "Pa" sound as it heavily smashed onto the floor tiles of the city gate tower, as if it could split the floor tiles apart.
A strong bloodthirsty killing intent flashed across his ice-cold eyes.
The violet-gold whip was like a soft poisonous snake, its entire body was ice-cold, softly and continuously entangled Ye Jiaze's body.
Ye Jiaze felt chills over his entire body, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body. Anger raged in his heart, and he ignored Xie Qingrong's teasing with the whip.
The hand that was holding onto the sword became more forceful, and used all of its strength to stab towards Xie Qingrong. The sharp sword tip had an ice-cold luster, flashing a little before Xie Qingrong's eyes.
On the surface of the blade, the smile on Xie Qingrong's face became colder and more sarcastic.
"Crunch."
The sword tip was immediately cut off by the sleeve arrow on Xie Qingrong's wrist.
Ye Jiaze was shocked, and quickly retreated.
Xie Qingrong pursued relentlessly.
The Army of Chu behind Ye Jiaze replaced him and continued to rush towards Xie Qingrong.
Xie Qingrong furrowed her brows slightly, and quickly dealt with the continuous stream of Army of Chu. As for Ye Jiaze, she had long ago used the escalator to climb down the city gate tower, and returned to the center of Army of Chu's group.
When Xie Qingrong finished off the twenty to thirty Army of Chu s by her side, and saw that Ye Jiaze had actually returned to the Army of Chu safe and sound, she was slightly vexed in her heart. She pursed her lips and stared coldly at Ye Jiaze for a moment, then shifted her gaze away.
The battle lasted from night to day, from day to night, seemingly endless.
There were only five to six hundred soldiers left on the tower, still guarding the Jiang Prefecture with their lives.
In the end, he kneeled in front of Xie Qingrong and begged loudly, "Crown Prince, I beg of you, please retreat. Jiang Zhou City is about to be breached by the Army of Chu."
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips and did not say a word.
The guards behind the White Tiger also kneeled down as they pleaded, "Please leave, Princess Consort."
He originally brought fifty dark guards with him, but now, only twenty-four dark guards were still struggling.
Xie Qingrong bit her lips as pain filled her throat. She cleared her throat and looked at the kneeling Dark Guards, saying each word, "I has already promised all the citizens and warriors in Jiang Prefecture that he will fight alongside them, until the last moment."
"Crown Princess, there are still ten thousand people in Army of Chu, but there are only five hundred in Jiang Zhou City. These five hundred people are already at the end of their tether, if you don't leave now, it will really be too late." The White Tiger pleaded with its head lowered. No one could see the seriousness on its face.
"When will the reinforcements arrive at Jiang Prefecture?" Xie Qingrong closed her eyes and did not respond to the White Tiger. Instead, she asked another question.
As long as we can hold on until the moment the reinforcements arrive, Jiang Zhou City still has hope. No matter what, we have to persevere until the last moment and not retreat.
"Three more days." White Tiger spoke in a deep voice. He felt sad in his heart. If he didn't bring the princess consort away now, he would never be able to leave this place again.
The White Tiger heavily kowtowed on the ground and said, "Your subordinate requests the Crown Princess to leave."
The expression on Xie Qingrong's face gradually receded and became as cold as ice, as if nothing could stand in her way. "White Tiger, if you want to leave, bring the hidden guards and leave this place. When the reinforcements arrive in three days, you can come and retrieve I's corpse. "
Just as he finished speaking, Xie Qingrong turned around and no longer looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him.
This was the first time Xie Qingrong said such a serious consequence, and White Tiger's heart trembled when she heard it. In her mind, she thought about Master's orders, "You have to protect the crown prince's wife even if you want to die, otherwise you don't need to go back and see him."
Seeing that Xie Qingrong did not want to see him again, the White Tiger could only helplessly extend its hand and cut towards the back of Xie Qingrong's neck. Unexpectedly, Xie Qingrong was prepared, she knew that the White Tiger would not listen to her orders.
As a result, when the white tiger's hand had just reached the back of his neck, the corner of Xie Qingrong's lips suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
He coldly berated: "White Tiger, are you trying to commit an offense from below?"
"White Tiger doesn't dare." His master had ordered that he must protect the princess' safety. He must not let her get hurt at all. In an emergency situation, if the Crown Princess refused to cooperate with his subordinate, he could only use some special means to bring her away.
However, the meaning behind his words was extremely clear, if Xie Qingrong was still unwilling to leave the Jiang Province, then the White Tiger would use his own method to bring Xie Qingrong away.
It was just that Xie Qingrong had never been one to be fooled.
At this moment, Jiang Yizhou was brought to Xie Qingrong's side by two soldiers. Along the way, Jiang Yizhou had already found out the exact situation from the soldiers.
Although he knew that he wouldn't be able to see Xie Qingrong again after parting with her, Xie Qingrong at least would be able to live on in peace.
Jiang Yizhou knelt beside the White Tiger and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Crown Princess, Young Master Shen has already evacuated all the citizens of Jiang Zhou City and arranged for a very safe place. I hope that the Crown Princess can be at ease."
"Yes." Xie Qingrong slightly nodded her head. She was quite at ease with Shen Haoxuan's ability to handle matters.
