The arrow shot straight at Song Li, who was behind Song Jingchen.
At this moment, he could no longer care about whether the hostages were alive or not. He only thought that they had been taken away from him. He had to make up for his mistake.
Of course, it was not because he was angry.
Crack!
A sword light slashed over and cut off the arrow shot by Commander Liu.
Seeing the person who attacked, Commander Liu was stunned. “Your Majesty?”
Shangguan Yu said coldly, “Don’t hurt the empress dowager.”
While the two of them were talking, Song Jingchen and the others had already rushed out of the encirclement. He turned around and glanced at Shangguan Yu. He had actually sensed Commander Liu’s arrow and was even prepared to block it with his body, but he didn’t expect Shangguan Yu to attack.
His guess when he saw the secret room was confirmed at this moment. Shangguan Yu knew the truth behind Nangong Xia’s death.
This thought only flashed through his mind when the hurried sound of hooves sounded around him again. Song Jingchen’s eyes darkened. Everyone had already exhausted their strength to break out of the encirclement just now, so it was almost impossible for them to break out of another encirclement again, not to mention that more people would come this time.
After estimating the time, he said, “Rong Qi, leave with the empress dowager first. ”
There was a reason why he handed her over to Rong Qi. As a thief who wanted to be famous in the martial world, his qinggong was much stronger than his battle skills.
In Rong Qi’s words, the speed at which he escaped was his foundation.
Rong Qi took Song Li and glanced at him. “If you die, I won’t work for the Song family for the next year.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you have your way.”
As soon as Song Jingchen finished speaking, he grabbed the reins and changed directions, blocking Shangguan Yu and the others. Seeing this, the others also gave up on escaping.
Rong Qi pursed his lips and jumped up with Song Li in his arms. He flew to the roof at the side and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
In the blink of an eye, the Wu Kingdom’s soldiers, who had arrived from all directions, surrounded Song Jingchen and the others.
A new round of confrontation came quickly and fiercely. Perhaps because they turned around this time, everyone had no intention of leaving alive. With the thought of killing a few more people even if they died, their auras rose unprecedentedly.
Including the five Demon Guards, everyone’s eyes were red from killing.
“Your Majesty, I’m going to chase after the Empress Dowager of Great Xia.” A man in black cupped his hands and requested.
Shangguan Yu nodded.
Song Jingchen pierced the throat of an expert. Noticing that the man wanted to take the opportunity to chase after Rong Qi, he jumped up from his horse and slashed at him.
Clang!
His attack was blocked by Shangguan Yu.
“Your opponent is me,” Shangguan Yu said indifferently.
Song Jingchen frowned. Although it was only one strike, he clearly felt that Shangguan Yu’s cultivation had improved a lot compared to when he was in Great Xia.
Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t advance.
The two of them fought. The commotion was so loud that sand and rocks flew.
After no less than a hundred moves, they were more or less injured.
However, Song Jingchen had been seriously injured in order to protect Song Li. Now that he was fighting Shangguan Yu, his injuries were even more serious.
Suddenly, the ground under his feet began to tremble.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Deafening war drums sounded, each sound like a blow to the heart.
An army was attacking the city.
The Wu army was completely flustered.
Shangguan Yu seemed to have expected that Great Xia wouldn’t really retreat, and he didn’t look surprised. He looked at Song Jingchen’s slightly trembling hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. He sneered. “If I capture you as a hostage, do you think Shangguan Han will retreat for you and give up the prize that he already has?”
“I also want to know if everyone in the Shangguan family is as ungrateful as you and Shangguan Qingyu.”
Shangguan Yu’s heart was stabbed fiercely. He swung his sword and stabbed.
“I’m avenging my mother. How can I be considered ungrateful?”
“We both know the truth. Why should you lie to yourself? Oh, perhaps thinking like this will indeed make your conscience feel better,” Song Jingchen said expressionlessly. “After all, Aunt treated you like her own son. In order to protect you when you grew up, she didn’t hesitate to carry a bad reputation. However, in the end, you caused her to be banished to the cold palace, caused her biological son to be exiled, and she almost died in the bitter cold. You even caused her brother and father’s deaths. Now, you even want her to become the sinner of the entire Great Xia.”
“Not only are you repaying kindness with ingratitude, but you’re also a coward.’
Although he knew that Song Jingchen was deliberately messing up his mind, Shangguan Yu’s breathing still became uncontrollably chaotic..
