Rebirth as Princess Jin again
Chapter 485: Interception at the City Gate
The wind is howling and the night is as cold as ice.
The guard at the gate of Jincheng soon discovered the fire that shot straight into the sky at the post house. He rubbed his eyes, and after taking a closer look, he hurriedly called to other brothers: "Quick! Go and report to the general, the post house is on fire! "
However, the official road outside the city was also flashing with the approaching firelight. At the same time, the rapid sound of horse hooves also followed the firelight and shattered the tranquility of the night.
The guard looked carefully, and after confirming again, he called to the brothers beside him: "Be on guard, someone is coming towards the city gate!"
Everyone on the city tower began to be very alert. The border had been turbulent recently, and they were afraid that what was coming was the enemy.
When the group of people arrived under the tower, a serious voice came up.
"Open the city gate quickly, I am King Xu!"
King Xu? Everyone on the tower looked at each other. It's so late. Why did King Xu come to Jincheng?
"My lord, please forgive me. The city gate is closed. According to military orders, no one is allowed to open the city gate unless it is an urgent matter!"
Situ Xu took out the tiger talisman from his arms and raised it above his head. The tiger talisman was clear and distinct under the firelight.
It's just that they don't understand why this tiger charm got into the hands of this prince.
He had to order people to get down from the tower and open the city gate.
The city gate was opened, and several black horses headed directly towards the post house without making any stop.
They walked halfway and happened to run into Nan Moyan and others coming towards them.
Situ Xu looked at the fire in the distance and said with a smile, "Brother Nan, did you succeed?"
Nan Moyan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course, I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Xu has obtained the military talisman?"
Situ Xu took out the tiger talisman in his arms and waved it towards Nan Moyan: "His Highness indeed kept his promise."
Situ Xu put his hands behind his hands and said proudly: "Brother Nan has many tricks. I have prepared 200,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Situ Jin, but it is useless."
Nan Moyan smiled lowly: "It is good to fight without losing blood. Please also ask His Highness King Xu to follow the agreement between us, open the gates of Jincheng, and welcome my army from southern Xinjiang into the city!"
"This... I'm afraid it won't go as Brother Nan wishes!" Situ Xu frowned and looked at him coldly and said, "This Jincheng is the territory of Xia Zhao Kingdom. As the future monarch of Xia Zhao Kingdom, how can I do whatever I want? Are you giving this city away?"
Nan Moyan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said sternly: "Are you going to break the contract? Don't forget that you are the only one except Situ Jin. Although you have Jincheng's military talisman, Xiao Feng is still missing. This The Xiao family has been in Jincheng for more than 20 years. Even if they don't have military symbols, they still have a group of followers. As long as Xiao Feng raises his hand, Jincheng's soldiers and horses may not be able to be used by you."
Situ Xu sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about that. The two hundred thousand soldiers and horses of my king Yucheng are not vegetarians. What's more, those who have the tiger talisman have conquered the world since ancient times. If any of them dare to disobey, just kill them as a warning. I don't believe this. Jincheng’s 200,000 troops are not afraid of death.”
Hearing this, Nan Moyan finally realized the viciousness of the person in front of him, and he was going to kill the donkey.
He used himself to kill Situ Jin, but he wanted to break his promise. Not only would he not let go of Jincheng, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape from Jincheng.
Facing Nan Moyan's livid face, Situ Xu said with a smile: "For the sake of your alliance with me, I will give you a chance. You and your people should leave Jincheng immediately. I Spare your life, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you."
A vague murderous intention flashed through Nan Moyan's eyes: "My army in southern Xinjiang is not so easy to mess with. Now that we have such a plan, we will naturally not return empty-handed. I have no way out now. In this case, why not Fight to the death!"
After saying this, he took a step back and said word by word: "My sons of Southern Xinjiang, our army from Southern Xinjiang has already arrived outside the city gate. As long as we open the city gate and welcome our soldiers from Southern Xinjiang into the city, this golden city will be fertile." The land and rich products will belong to our southern border in the future. Pick up your swords, kill the people in front of you with me, and open the gate of Jincheng!"
Situ Xu didn't have many people with him. Seeing that Nan Moyan was determined to fight to the death, he was naturally not to be outdone. He immediately waved his hand and the two sides became tense.
The people in Nan Moyan's wedding team were all the elites of Southern Xinjiang, so although Situ Xu had more people than him, he still had confidence in his heart. The city gate was in front of him, and he believed that his people would definitely have the advantage.
The people of Southern Xinjiang advocated force, so their fighting power was not weak at all. Situ Xu's people were quickly defeated, and the movement here quickly attracted the attention of the defenders in the city.
Soon, Nan Moyan and others were surrounded.
Situ Xu looked at him with a proud face: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, you'd better surrender!"
Nan Moyan looked at the person in front of him with a cold face: "I didn't expect that the dignified prince of Xia Zhaoguo would go back on his words. I have seen this before. You are a well-deserved villain."
Situ Xu retorted: "Why don't you? The fire in the post house was caused by you, right? Killing the crown prince of our country is a wanton provocation of war between the two countries and destruction of peace. I would like to see it in the eyes of the emperor of Southern Xinjiang. How important are you?"
"Come here, arrest this prince's murderer!"
However, the soldiers behind him seemed not to hear his order, and no one stepped forward.
Situ Xu looked a little confused and raised the tiger talisman in his hand towards the soldiers behind him: "Here is the tiger talisman. If you don't obey my order, are you going to rebel?"
The soldiers didn't look away and remained where they were.
Situ Xu frowned secretly and said to Li Yan: "Kill two of them to establish your authority for me!"
"Your Highness, this is Jincheng, not your Yucheng. If you want to show off your authority, go back to your Yucheng! Jincheng is an important military place, not a place to show off your authority!" Xiao Feng's voice came from the surrounding area. As his voice came out, the soldiers who had remained unmoved just now automatically gave way to a path, and Xiao Feng was seen walking out slowly behind Situ Jin among the crowd.
The moment he saw Situ Jin, Nan Moyan looked at Situ Jin with fear he had never seen in his life. He was clearly in the post house, and the post house was surrounded by fire, so why did he suddenly appear here.
He clearly watched the posthouse being burned to ashes. He always thought that every step he took was extremely precise. He never dared to underestimate his opponent. He even poured the medicine in the wine himself.
He even set the fire in the posthouse with his own hands. What miscalculation did he make that allowed Situ Jin to turn defeat into victory?
"You... aren't you dead?" At this moment, Situ Xu saw Situ Jin as if he had seen a ghost. The moment Situ Jin appeared, he almost smelled the breath of death.
He knew how terrifying the man in front of him was. If he hadn't planned to escape from the capital, he would have been killed by his hands.
