"Brother, I am very happy that I can still do something for you despite my broken body. I only hope that you can avenge me in the future. Kill the king of Dai, and I will rest in peace."

After saying that, he looked down at the city wall. The scene was extremely quiet at this time.

The people below the city wall could still hear clearly what she said to King Cheng, Xiao Heng said hatefully.

"Princess Wanning, are you still so stubborn? Do you know that King Cheng has already colluded with the Dai Kingdom? How could he avenge you?

The Dai Kingdom's envoys frequently visited Li Zhongnan's residence, and there were even letters exchanged between the two countries. Don't be naive anymore."

Wan Ning had always stood firmly on her brother's side. The belief she had held on to for so many years was that sooner or later, her brother would avenge her.

But she never expected that this would be the result. Wan Ning looked back at King Cheng with tears in her eyes.

The voice was choked, but the question was sonorous and powerful.

"Is what he said true?"

"···"

King Cheng did not answer, and Wan Ning turned to look at Li Zhongnan again.

“What they said is true…”

This roar was heart-wrenching and extremely sharp, and it had exhausted her last bit of strength.

"Hahahaha, you're all lying to me, you're all using me, why are you doing this to me?"

After he finished speaking, with tears still in his eyes, he jumped down from the city wall.

"what···"

Everyone was shocked by this scene. King Cheng stretched out his hand to grab the other person, but it was empty and hanging in the air.

"King Cheng, you didn't even spare your own sister. You are worse than an animal."

King Cheng lowered his head and remained silent for a while, feeling sad for Wan Ning, but when he looked up at everyone again, he burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha! You're just trying to hang on, buying yourself a little time to stay alive. What's the point of struggling?"

"You can withstand the 20,000 troops outside my city, and the throne will still be mine."

Everyone below had extremely solemn expressions. Jiang Yuanbo looked around and asked softly.

"Where is my daughter? Is my daughter safe now?"

Xiao Heng looked outside the city. He didn't know what the situation was like outside the city.

Jiang Yuanbo followed the other person's gaze and his body shuddered instantly.

"Could it be? Could it be that my daughter is outside the city? How could you leave her alone in such a dangerous place?"

After saying that, he wanted to rush out. Xiao Heng looked worried, but still said words to comfort him.

"How could I? Let her go and take risks alone. How could I not make arrangements for King Cheng's army?"

As if in response to Xiao Heng's words, shouts and screams were heard outside the city.

The camp outside the city had been silent for a long time. When they made up their minds to break out, the first row of meat shields blocked the siege, and the rear rushed to the crossbows.

Before they could be happy, another team rushed out from the back of the military camp. The number of people was more than ten times that of those guarding the main gate. In an instant, shouts of killing broke through the sky.

When Jiuning and his team found that they had support, they shot all the arrows in their hands without hesitation.

Then they rushed forward with swords in hand, while the three thousand men behind them were holding the same bows and crossbows as them.

After a round of shooting at the beginning, half of the 10,000-man team was gone in an instant. The remaining people were frightened and dropped their weapons and surrendered.

King Cheng had no one to rely on anymore, the situation was hopeless, and the final battle only lasted for a cup of tea.

Jiuning did not stay where he was, but asked for a horse and quickly ran into the city.

I wonder how Xiao Heng is doing? If King Cheng dares to hurt him, hmph! Slash him!

As soon as I entered the city, I saw a man standing not far away. He was bloodthirsty and stood as tall as a pine tree, holding a knife and confronting me.

"Xiao Heng..."

"Jiuning..."

When they saw Xiao Heng, her cold and beautiful face immediately illuminated everyone like the rising sun.

Xiao Heng stepped forward quickly and picked up Jiu Ning from the horse. Seeing that the other party was dirty but had white teeth and a bright smile, he felt relieved.

Jiu Ning leaned over and whispered in Xiao Heng's ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"My dear, today we are getting married, so please don't miss the time to enter the bridal chamber."

Xiao Heng, who had been tense all night, suddenly relaxed. He also raised the corners of his mouth and had a smile in his eyes.

"Then do me another favor, my husband. Do you remember how I taught you archery?"

Jiuning nodded: "I never miss a shot!"

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"How about we make a bet?"

Jiu Ning smiled and made a joke. She was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes, but she was still in high spirits.

"How to bet?"

Jiuning looked at King Cheng standing on the city wall and Shen Yurong holding the fish talisman, and smiled wickedly.

"If you and I both nock our arrows at the same time, the one who falls backwards loses, and the one who falls off the tower wins."

Xiao Heng held her in his arms lovingly and was very interested in her proposal.

"it is good!"

Then, with solemn expressions, the two men turned around at the same time, pulled out the arrows beside them, drew their bows, put arrows on them, and took aim.

'Whoosh! '

'Whoosh! '

Two screams were heard from the city wall in an instant. A hand holding the fish talisman was not only shot through, but also shot towards the face. When the fish talisman fell from the city wall, the person also fell down at the same time.

Jiuning jumped directly from the horse, pointed his toes in the air, and pulled straight upwards, heading straight for the fallen fish symbol.

Quickly hold it in your palm, turn in the air, land gently, and quickly step back.

'Bang' Shen Yurong also fell to the ground, her eyes just meeting Wan Ning who jumped off the city wall, and she could no longer close them.

Xiao Heng waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him instantly rushed up to the city wall and captured all of Cheng Wang's men.

He followed closely and saw that King Cheng had been shot by an arrow, leaning against the pillar behind him, still breathing firmly.

Seeing Xiao Heng coming forward with a knife, he was so scared that he crawled on the ground and retreated repeatedly.

"You can't kill me... You can't kill me..."

Xiao Heng slowly raised his sword and stared at the other party fiercely.

"I'm not my father, and I won't make his mistakes."

Then he chopped down with his sword, and blood splattered all over his face. After so many years, he finally avenged his father.

Jiu Ning was behind him, gently wrapping her arms around his waist, her cheek pressed against the cold armor. She didn't say anything, just waiting for Xiao Heng to reminisce about the past and calm down...

"Oh! Your Majesty, please spare my life... I was threatened... I know a lot about King Cheng, please give me a chance..."

Seeing that King Cheng was dead and the situation was hopeless, Li Zhongnan and Li Jin knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in order to save their lives.

The two of them snuggled up to each other, no matter how embarrassed they were, but there was still a hint of cuteness. It made people feel happy just watching it.

Zhao Ye walked over and patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder.

"Leave this to the others. Go back with Jiu Ning! Today is your wedding day. Come to the court tomorrow to discuss matters."

"Your Majesty, shouldn't I have a few days to get married?"

"I'll owe you the money first and make it up to you later."

Jiuning pouted: "Liar!"

Little did she know that Xiao Heng was about to go to the northern border to recapture King Cheng's army and resist the invasion of the Dai Kingdom.

I wonder if my cousin will come with us?
