The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

Zhao Hai disarmed himself, and the others around him did the same. Wearing only their underwear, they braved the cold wind and galloped on their horses.

But... even so, Zhao Jun still failed to get rid of the prodigal army. Deadly arrows flew from behind one after another, taking away the lives of Zhao soldiers one after another...

Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel scared! He didn't know how many feather arrows passed through his ears, and they almost touched him every time, giving him the feeling... that he might die in the next moment!

"Zhao Du, Zhao Du hasn't arrived yet!"

Zhao Hai desperately urged the ferocious horse under his crotch to run wildly, exhausting it so much that it began to foam at the corners of its mouth. Apparently... he couldn't hold on for much longer...

"I regret not listening to the words of the minister who cares about life!"

Zhao Hai let out a shrill cry. Hearing the sound, a general beside him gritted his teeth, and then shouted loudly: "Your Highness, leave quickly, I will cut off the queen!"

"I know a loyal minister! This palace will remember you!" Zhao Hai actually didn't even know who this person was, but he still shouted, and then took this opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven...

However, the next moment, the miscellaneous general who was responsible for cutting off the rear, and his soldiers who turned back, were easily broken through by the prodigal army. It was only delayed for less than ten breaths, and the prodigal army caught up again!

Finally, there was no one around Zhao Hai.

Alone and in extreme despair!

But at this juncture, he was not depressed, but felt a burst of ecstasy, because with this charge... Zhaodu was finally close before his eyes!

As long as he enters Zhaodu, he has nothing to fear!

It is impossible for the prodigal army to catch up with him again!

The powerful crossbow can no longer hit him!

He is safe!

"Hahaha! My life, Zhao Hai, should not be cut off, my life should not be cut off!"

Before he could finish his words of ecstasy, a string of white spider threads suddenly sprang out from behind him... with a sneer, it stuck to him!

Then, a strong force pulled him over and dragged him to the ground!

And right now.

A group of people from Zhaodu had just climbed up the city wall collectively. Everyone was either happy or relieved, especially Concubine Si, whose face was filled with pride...

She personally brought everyone here just to show everyone her heroic appearance as a child prodigy leading her army to victory.

However……

They didn't see it.

What caught his eye was Zhao Hai's extremely frightened look.

"Mother, save me! Sirs, save me! Save me!——"

A shrill howl made everyone on the city wall change their expressions!

However, before they could do anything, the spider web on Zhao Hai's body suddenly lifted up, pulling him into the air, and then broke with a screeching sound!

Zhao Hai fell straight down and just landed on Chu Tianxiao's fierce horse!

In his ears, a voice that sounded like a demon urging people to wake up...

"Oh! What a coincidence young man, let's talk about life?"

…

Let's not mention how frightened Zhao Hai was when he heard the sound, but let's talk about the group of people on the city wall. It is almost difficult for them to find words to describe the shock in their hearts...

What...did they see?

His Highness Zhao Hai was captured alive in front of Zhao Capital, right under their noses?

What about his army? Where are his thousands of soldiers? Where are the generals under his command?

Just when they thought of this, the follow-up troops of the Prodigal Army gradually caught up, and familiar faces appeared in their eyes one after another... Those captured people were not the Zhao Jun who had left the city before!

So... not only did Zhao Hai fail to make any achievements during his trip, but... his entire army was wiped out?

"This... this is impossible! Hai'er of this palace is the proud son of heaven, the number one prodigy of Zhao, the prince favored by His Majesty! The future prince of Zhao! How could he lose! How can it be possible to defeat three thousand with ten thousand people? You will lose! There must be something wrong!”

When the facts were presented before our eyes, the one who could not believe it the most was Concubine Si. I think she had imagined before that Zhao Hai would triumphantly and establish the position of crown prince, so that she could also ascend to the suspended mother of a country, and even go one step further...

This woman's ambition is so great that even though she doesn't have the talent to match it, she still can't restrain her greed!

It can be said that she once thought beautifully.

But now?

When the cruel reality was placed in front of her, she felt that...a certain ambition and fantasy deep in her heart was shattered!

Under the huge blow, she directly grabbed an old man's clothes and said those hysterical words. It was obvious that his spirit was on the verge of collapse...

"Haier will not lose! He is the star of Zhao! This must be a mistake!"

Hearing these words, some people in the audience were quick to see the opportunity and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Now is not the time to talk about this! The enemy troops have already arrived at the city and the city is empty! Please cheer up your Majesty and mobilize the families and people in the city. Help defend the city! Otherwise, the capital of Zhao will be in danger!"

Hearing the sound, Concubine Si finally came back to her senses. When she looked at the prodigal army soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers, she couldn't help but shudder deeply. She didn't bother to cover her swollen cheeks, and immediately said quickly : "What Ai Qing said is absolutely true. Hurry... quickly dispatch people! Defend the city with all your strength!"

"Empress, then Your Highness the Supervisor..."

"No rescue! No rescue. The seal of the protector of the country is here. No one is allowed to leave the city! No one is allowed to open the city's ban. Hold on... hold on and wait for help!" Concubine Si took a deep look at the place where Zhao was screaming in pain and calling for help. Hai, silently said in his heart: Hai'er, don't blame the mother-in-law for being cruel, the mother-in-law... the mother-in-law just wants to live!

…

"Young Master, as you expected, Zhaodu's 'capital restriction' is not simple!"

"Well, after all, it is the capital of a country... However, the strength of this restriction is beyond my expectation..." Chu Tianxiao lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the floating white light in the majestic city in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

As we all know, all the big cities in the vast land of China will have restrictions to protect the city, also known as 'city screens'.

It is precisely because of the existence of 'city screens' that the attacking party needs to adapt to local conditions when attacking the city.

For cities like Qianxia City, the 'city screens' are basically weak enough to be ignored, so the main defense is still on "physical objects" such as suspension bridges and city gates, but for first-class cities, even cities of Zhaodu's level, the main manifestation of their defense is not on those traditional things... but more on the 'city screens'.

This is not to say that the suspension bridge, moat, city gate, etc. of Zhaodu are useless, but relatively speaking, solving the problem of the "city screen" is the key to breaking such a city.

Chu Tianxiao and others chased all the way, not only to catch this "very thoughtful" prince of Zhao, but more importantly, they wanted to take advantage of this "hasty" period to see if they could get lucky and enter the city before the "city screen" was "closed"!

Unfortunately, Chu Tianxiao and others did not get this "lucky prize" this time - it was not that Concubine Si did not want to open the city screen to welcome Zhao Hai's triumphant return, but... she could not do it.
