The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 196 Zixu was arrested

At this time, the coalition forces of the princes had already passed Lu Hu's convoy and ran into the distance.

Zixuan's troops followed closely, and Zijin and Zizhi's chariots were running right in front of the team.

They spotted the Land Rover tank at first glance because Land Rover's vehicles were unique and easy to identify.

When the two men saw the chariot overturned, they hurriedly ordered the soldiers to turn the chariot over again.

When the soldier opened the car door, a sour and foul smell immediately hit him in the face.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and looked inside, and immediately looked at each other in embarrassment.

Zi Jin and Zi Zhi curiously pushed through the crowd and looked inside, and saw Lu Hu's tall body lying on Zi Xing.

The big black face was still pressed tightly against Zixing's face, and Zixing's mouth was twisted by it, so he couldn't move or speak.

The two of them were lying on their sides just now, but after the car was turned over, Lu Hu lay on Zixing.

The table also pressed down on the back of Lu Hu's head and back, making him unable to move.

Seeing this, Zi Jin hurriedly ordered the soldiers to move the table away, and Lu Hu then climbed up from Zi Xing's body.

Zixing was almost suffocated by Lu Hu. After Lu Hu stood up, he gasped for breath and it took him a long time to recover.

At this time, Zixuan's chariot also came closer. She was relieved to see that the two were safe and sound.

Lu Hu stretched his limbs and quickly ordered the soldiers to turn all the tanks over.

After checking that there was no problem, he followed the troops and attacked the coalition forces.

At this time, the coalition forces were forced to the foot of a mountain. The mountain was very steep and it was impossible to climb it with bare hands.

Seeing no way out and pursuers behind him, Duke Ping of Jin cried out in despair, "Oh my God! Are you trying to destroy me?"

Grand Tutor Yangshe Bi came before him, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, do not lose heart. Perhaps there is a way out."

Duke Ping of Jin sighed and shook his head, "Grandmaster, look at this situation. How can we possibly survive this desperate situation?"

Grand Marshal Zhang Junchen came close to him and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have a plan. I wonder if it will work."

Oh? Duke Ping of Jin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked anxiously, "Sima, tell me quickly, what is the brilliant plan?"

"Your Majesty, why don't we capture Gongzi Xu as a hostage and force Zixuan to withdraw his troops!"

"I heard that Zixuan loves this eldest son the most. I am sure this plan will succeed!"

Duke Ping of Jin thought about it, then hardened his heart and gritted his teeth: "Okay! This is the only way now!"

"Sima! I will leave this matter to you. Remember! You must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Don't make any mistakes, lest they cause internal strife among the coalition forces!"

Zhang Junchen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I never do anything I'm not sure of. Just wait and see!"

After saying this, he called over several generals and gave them some instructions.

After receiving the order, the general took hundreds of soldiers and headed towards Prince Xu.

At this time, Zixu, Shusun Bao and Di Shimi were counting the casualties in their own country.

Shusun Bao was shocked when he heard the figures reported by the various tribes: "What! Two-thirds of them were killed or injured!"

"What's going on! Didn't I tell you in advance? Don't rush forward, be smart, why didn't you listen?!"

The general said timidly with a mournful face, "I followed your orders to tell the soldiers."

"But it was this order that harmed our brothers!"

"The brothers obeyed the order and did not charge forward. Instead, they ran slowly behind the troops."

"But we never expected the Qi army to attack from behind! As a result, most of our soldiers were shot to death by crossbows!"

"Oh!" Shusun Bao slapped his forehead hard and stamped his feet.

Then he burst into tears and said, "Brothers! It is this general who has harmed you! I! I will not live any longer!"

After saying that, he drew his sword and was about to slit his throat, but everyone was quick to act and grabbed his arms.

He pleaded loudly, "Sir Shangqing, please don't do that! Things change so fast on the battlefield, no one expected something like this to happen!"

"Yes, yes! General! You are not to blame for this! Please don't commit suicide..."

Zixu snatched the sword from his hand and said, "Shangqing! Don't do anything stupid. You only have one life, so you must cherish it!"

While everyone was trying to persuade Shusun Bao, Zhang Junchen's subordinates had already led the soldiers to surround them.

Zixu ignored it and thought that the soldiers were just there to watch the fun because they saw someone trying to commit suicide.

After the allied soldiers surrounded Zixu, the general gave a wink.

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers threw Zixu to the ground and tied him up.

Shusun Bao and Di Shimi were shocked when they saw this and quickly picked up their weapons and rushed over.

Di Shimi swung his halberd and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Why did you arrest me? If you can't explain it, I'll kill you!"

The general hurried over and saluted, "Two generals!"

"I am here to arrest Master Xu on the orders of King Jin. If you have any questions, please ask him!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"

The two looked at each other in confusion, and immediately followed the soldiers towards Duke Ping of Jin.

When they got closer, the soldier pushed Zixu in front of Zhang Junchen and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Sima! Young Master Xu has been captured!"

Zhang Junchen nodded: "Very good! Leave!"

Zixu glared and asked, "Sir Zhang! Why did you arrest me, General?"

Zhang Junchen curled his lips and said coldly, "Why are we arresting you? Your mother has killed us so badly that we have no way to escape!"

"I will take you as a hostage in exchange for the lives of my brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Zixu cursed angrily, "Zhang Junchen, you are shameless! You don't have the ability to defeat the Qi army, yet you resort to such despicable tactics!"

At this moment, there was a great chaos outside the army. Zixuan's troops caught up again and started shooting.

Upon seeing this, Duke Ping of Jin quickly ordered Zhang Junchen: "Quick! Go and negotiate terms with Zixuan!"

Yes! Zhang Junchen agreed and ordered the soldiers to drag Gongzi Xu and walk out from the crowd.

The Qi army soldiers were chasing, when suddenly they saw a crowd flash by and a handsome young general came out, pushed by the soldiers.

Zhang Junchen hid behind Zixu and shouted, "Qi troops across the way, listen up!"

"Your general's son, Gongzi Xu, has been captured alive! If you want him to live, have Zixuan come to negotiate!"

When the soldiers heard that it was the general's son, they immediately ran to report.

Zixuan was shocked when he received the report. "Xu'er was captured? The coalition forces must be taking him hostage to force me to withdraw."

He hurriedly ordered his men to drive towards the Allied forces' position, and Lu Hu, Zixing and the two princesses followed closely behind.

When Zixu saw his mother coming, he shouted, "Mom! Don't listen to them! They dare not do anything to me!"

Zixuan felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at her son. She nodded and said, "Xu'er! Don't worry, you'll be fine!"
