Xue Moyun caught up with Liang Yue and the others, and the two of them carried Mu Zhuoshi, and quickly ran towards the city gate.
Along the way, Mu Ying and the rest were also fighting against Min Hanxiangru's army while retreating.
"Quick, open the gate!" At that moment, Wei Ming who was guarding the city gate saw Mu Ying and the rest retreating, he quickly ordered his men to open the gate, then went down to bring the soldiers to meet them.
Seeing the city gate open, Mu Ying and Xue Moyun blocked, allowing them to retreat in, after which the two of them ran in and closed the city gate.
"Attack!" Minhan Changyang rushed over and ordered loudly.
All the soldiers were carrying huge pieces of wood and smashing it against the door, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't hit it.
"Fire Attack!" Minhan Changyang ordered again.
At this time, Mu Ying and the others were already standing on top of the city gate tower. Looking at the soldiers who were lighting the fire, Mu Ying raised the corner of his mouth: "Since they want to play with fire, then let them have enough."
"Come on, start the fire for me. Add more fuel to the fire." Mu Ying waved his hand.
"Yes sir!" Wei Ming laughed, and immediately had people pour the grease down.
The grease fell down along the wall, and in an instant, the fire spread as the soldiers on the wall burned and cried out. Even if Minhan Changyang gave the order for his men to come forward, this raging fire would not be able to get close.
The city that Mu Ying and the others were in was called parathion. This parathion was built on a mountain, its terrain was critical, and it was hard to defend against. It was also against the wind, causing the flames below to blow away from the city gate, blowing towards Minhan Changyang and the others.
The troops of the comfort zone retreated for a long time, and could only stand and stare. There was nothing to gain from sending soldiers to their deaths.
"General, there's nothing we can do about it now. Most of the soldiers are severely injured, so we need to hurry up and treat them." The deputy general said.
Minhan Changyang discussed with Min Hanxiangru for a while and decided to besiege them first.
Seeing Minhan Changyang and Min Hanxiangru leading a portion of the troops back, Mu and the others were finally relieved. In this battle, they finally had a chance to catch their breath.
"How is the crown prince now?" When Mu Ying came to visit Mu Zhuoshi, he saw that Yuchi Min and Liang Yue were anxiously waiting at the outer sect entrance. Yuchi Min was already crying and he was also enduring his pain with a pale face.
"We're still not sure yet, the Godly Doctor is still rescuing us." Liang Yue said.
Just then, Bian Niao walked out with a head full of sweat, washing the blood off his hands.
"Godly Doctor... What's the situation inside? " Mu Ying walked forward and asked.
"Oh, your highness." When Bian Niao saw Mu Ying, he wiped the perspiration off his forehead and bowed.
"Hurry, please get up. No need to be so courteous." Mu Ying helped him up, it looked like their bodies had become weaker in the past two years, and standing there to save them for half a day, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Here, this way." Xue Moyun said.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has lost too much blood and suffered too severe of an injury. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to make it back to heaven." After being rescued by us, we have now escaped from danger and have stabilized our condition. " Bian Niao said.
"Then I am relieved." Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and only Liang Yue had a face full of grief. She walked forward, and directly held onto Bian Niao's hand, and asked anxiously: "Then what about his arm, is it alright as well?"
Liang Yue had personally witnessed the scene of Mu Zhuoshi's arm being chopped off. Seeing him leave so much blood, with his arm dropped in the ashes, Liang Yue was extremely shocked.
"This …"
Hearing Liang Yue's question, Bian Niao's expression darkened. He looked at the crowd and sighed, "The crown prince's arm lost too much blood and the wound is blurry. "The broken limbs were burned until they withered and were contaminated. Although they were recovered, they are no longer usable."
Bian Niao shook his head after he finished speaking. The arm had already been destroyed, so even if it was reattached, it wouldn't be able to do anything. Besides, if they were forcefully connected with the blood, it would cause all the blood in their bodies to be contaminated. Their limbs would rot and be a threat to their lives. In order to preserve his life, he had no choice but to give up this hand.
"Ah, Big Brother Zhuo Zhi …" After Yuchi Min heard this, he collapsed to the ground and started to wail.
Mu Ying also unsteadily took two steps back, while Xue Moyun quietly supported him from behind.
Only Liang Yue had a mournful look on her face. Actually, she had already thought of this possibility. However, she still held onto a sliver of hope that the Godly Doctor would bring her such a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, in the end, he was still disappointed.
Without an arm, the most miserable one would probably be Mu Zhuoshi. Liang Yue pitied him and did not want to make him sad, so she walked in with heavy steps.
She saw him lying on the bed with his brows tightly knitted. His face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. He seemed to be enduring a great deal of pain. Liang Yue was extremely heartbroken as she helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead and covered him with a blanket while enduring the pain and tears.
"Liang Yue, don't worry about me. It's dangerous. Mu Zhuoshi tilted his head and muttered to himself.
"Don't worry about me, I'm already so heavily injured." Liang Yue's tears fell down uncontrollably. He was still thinking about her at this time, why was she so silly?
Liang Yue grasped his right hand lovingly, and couldn't care so much anymore: "You're afraid, don't worry, I'm fine. I will always be with you. "
Yuchi Min walked to the door, and upon seeing this scene, retreated. She could already tell that Mu Zhuoshi liked Liang Yue, it was just that Liang Yue did not say anything. Now that he saw that Liang Yue also had deep feelings for him, he could let her properly accompany him at this time.
"My royal brother entrusted him to me, but I caused him to lose an arm. How can I explain that when I go back?" Mu Ying was extremely pained. He still cared a lot for this nephew of his. Although he was usually a little strict, he still treated Mu Zhuoshi like his own son.
Although he was a little bit more amused previously, his nature was not bad. He had a kind heart and a kind heart that held the world in his heart. Therefore, Mu Ying kept on coaching him, hoping that he would become an enlightened ruler in the future.
Especially after knowing Xue Moyun, Mu Zhuoshi had gradually become mature and steady, and started to concentrate on learning the matters of the imperial government and training in martial arts, his progress was especially fast. Although Mu Ying didn't say it, he was actually very relieved. How could he bear to see such a studious and kind-hearted child suffer such pain at such a young age?
Xue Moyun felt very sad for Mu Ying, but because of his identity, he did not dare to go out and comfort him.
Mu Ying's heart ached for a moment, then suddenly, his eyes revealed a fierce light, he rushed directly to the hall and shouted out: "Bring Zhu Qinghong here!"
Not long later, a few soldiers brought Zhu Biaozhong up to the platform, "Kneel down."
"Your subordinate pays his respects to Your Highness, and wishes for Your Highness' life to be spared." Knowing that he had made a grave mistake, Zhu was quick to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Zhu Bixiong, you disobeyed the military's orders, stole the military flag, and led our troops out of the city without authorization, causing us to suffer a heavy loss. The crown prince is now in grave danger, what crime should you commit!" Mu Ying flew into a rage as he angrily berated.
"Your highness, please spare my life. Your subordinate made a misjudgement and made a great mistake. I beg you, your highness, consider that I was only anxious to help the country, and spare my life, so that I can gain merits." Zhu Qinghong kowtowed as he pleaded for mercy.
"Spare your life?" Mu Ying slowly walked down.
"Because of your own selfishness, you made great contributions, causing tens of thousands of my soldiers and horses to be damaged. Many loyal soldiers lost their lives because of this, and now the crown prince has even lost an arm. If I were to spare you today, wouldn't that mean that everyone in my army camp can break the law, and everyone can issue orders in my place! "
Mu Ying accused him of his crimes one after another, and then kicked him out without him knowing.
"Your highness, spare me, your highness, please spare me, your subordinate will not dare to do that again!" Zhu Qinghong was still begging for mercy.
However, Mu Ying remained unmoved: "Today, I will let you set an example. Let's see who will be as bold as you in my army camp! "Come on, drag Zhu Bixiong out for me and show them to the public!"
"Your highness, your highness …" Zhu Bixiong struggled as he was dragged out. Soon, his head was hung above the city gate.
"This time, although we forced the enemy troops back to parathion City, we suffered heavy losses. Not only did we not kill Mu Ying and his group, we even lost two hundred thousand soldiers!" Inside the comfort camp, Min Hanxiangru was fuming with rage, feeling indignant.
"Right now, in parathion City, it's easy to defend but hard to attack. It's really tricky. Furthermore, this parathion is an important barrier for the West Cold, and only by taking down the parathion can we drive straight in and take down the city. " Minhan Changyang had already calmed down, and was seriously analyzing the situation.
"Yeah, now they're hiding in the city like cowards and don't come out, wanting to fight with us for a long time. What should we do?" Min Hanxiangru was also extremely worried.
"They still have around fifty thousand soldiers, and we have a hundred thousand. We have the advantage in numbers. However, the rations had already been destroyed, and the Prime Minister would not be able to send reinforcements for now. If the situation dragged on for too long, they would only be trapped for a few days. In less than five days, our soldiers will begin to starve and lose the ability to fight. At that time, if they suddenly attack back, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand it. "
Minhan Changyang began to worry.
"Therefore, the most important thing to do now is to attack them as soon as possible." Min Hanxiangru said.
After a long discussion, both of them returned to their original spots.
"For the time being, we don't have any clues. Let's put this matter aside for now. Let me ask you, on today's battlefield, why did you let go of that man? Who is he?" Are they our spies? "But the person I know isn't him." Min Hanxiangru asked.
Mentioning Xue Moyun, Minhan Changyang's expression softened a bit: "She, isn't a traitor, she is actually a woman. It's the princess consort of the West Cold. "
"Oh, wangfei, then why did you let her go? Could it be that you have some sort of ulterior motive towards her? To give up my Min Han family for a woman, and see if I don't write to your father and grandfather to let them punish you! "
Hearing Minhan Changyang's words and hearing his indication, Min Hanxiangru instantly became furious.
"No, no." Seeing her Second Uncle was angry, Minhan Changyang panicked and quickly explained: "Second Uncle, you misunderstood, it's not that I have some sort of relationship with her, the reason I stopped her from being killed is because …. Because she has a bigger use. " Minhan Changyang came to a sudden realization and randomly found an excuse.
"For what?" Min Hanxiangru was still a little doubtful.
