Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

"My Lord, where are you going?"

Prince Rong never expected that he would meet Jingzhao Yin on his way to Xizhou.

What happened was that after Jingzhao Yin and General Zhenguo learned of the rebels' transfer route.

After discussing it, the two decided to split their forces into two groups, one to go back and report to Emperor Yuan, and the other to strangle the rebels.

As for why it was Jingzhao Yin who returned to the capital to report, it was because Jingzhao Yin lost the game of rock-paper-scissors.

Prince Rong glanced at the Jingzhao Yin and saw that he only had three people with him, while he had more than a dozen people behind him, so he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

So, he shouted to Jingzhao Yin in a commanding tone: "Xie Xu, get out of my way! Don't block the road!"

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be here."

Prince Rong drew his sword and said, "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you!"

Seeing this, Jingzhao Yin curled his lips and smiled, he was afraid that you would not take action, otherwise it would be difficult for him to kill you.

"Your Majesty, lay down your weapons and follow me back to the capital. His Majesty may spare your life."

At this moment, the sound of dense horse hooves came from behind. Prince Rong thought that it was Deputy General Yin who was catching up with him, and he felt panicked.

If Deputy General Yin and Jingzhao Yin were to surround him from the front and back, he would definitely not be able to escape!

So he gave the order, "Kill them."

The battle was about to break out. Xie Xu sat on his horse without moving. The three men he brought with him went forward to fight with Prince Rong's men.

After a while, Prince Rong, who had vowed that he could kill the Jingzhao Yin, watched his men fall one by one and felt the breath of death coming towards him.

Looking into Xie Xu's bloodshot eyes, Prince Rong felt that Xie Xu would kill him, definitely kill him.

No, he can't die here.

His grand plan has not even begun, he absolutely cannot die here, let alone die like this before it even begins!

To this end, he grasped the sword in his hand and joined the fight with a shout.

Prince Rong is also good at martial arts. When he was still a prince, he had fought on the battlefield.

Most of those who followed him had fought alongside him on the battlefield.

They felt that Prince Rong was wise and brave, loyal and righteous, and was the most qualified among the late emperor's many sons to inherit the throne.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, the late emperor made the second prince Yuan Mingxuan, now Emperor Yuan, the crown prince.

They couldn't understand why the late emperor, who clearly doted on Prince Rong, would eventually make the second prince the crown prince?

Because the late emperor knew that Prince Rong was narrow-minded. If he were to sit in that position, Daxia would either be flooded with blood or would be overthrown.

With the addition of Prince Rong, Xie Xu's two subordinates were quickly at a disadvantage and the situation reversed.

Prince Rong knew that he was no match for Xie Xu in a fight, so he seized the opportunity to escape.

Jingzhao Yin slowly drew his sword, kicked the horse's belly, and rode after him.

In a few seconds, he caught up with Prince Rong and was on par with him.

The two men were riding on horses, fighting with swords. Jingzhao Yin didn't want to waste time, so he aimed his sword and chopped off the horse's leg.

The horse was frightened and neighed, then raised its front hooves and threw Prince Rong to the ground.

Xie Xu jumped off his horse and stabbed Prince Rong with a sword.

Prince Rong dodged in panic, "Xie Xu, how dare you! I am Prince Rong of Da Xia. No matter what, you have no right to kill me!"

Xie Xu turned a deaf ear to him, and the sword in his hand did not stop at all, and every move was fatal.

Prince Rong struggled to cope with it, and his gorgeous clothes became tattered in a few breaths.

The people following Prince Rong saw that he was in danger and rushed over to help him deal with Xie Xu.

"Your Majesty, mount your horse quickly, Lieutenant General Yin is catching up."

Prince Rong jumped onto his horse and galloped off. The others, unwilling to fight, jumped on their horses and followed him.

Xie Xu also jumped on his horse and chased after him. Halfway through, he picked up the bow and arrow hanging at his feet.

He drew his bow and shot three arrows at once, with a 100% hit rate. The three men behind Prince Rong were shot and fell off their horses.

Prince Rong looked back and whipped the horse harder, making the horse run faster.

Xie Xu picked up three more arrows and shot them out, but Prince Rong swung his sword to cut off the arrows.

Watching the people around him fall one by one, Prince Rong knew that he could not escape.

He reined in his horse, dropped his sword, and shouted, "Xie Xu, I surrender. I will go back with you."

"Your Highness, what did you say?" Xie Xu picked up another arrow. "The wind is too strong. I can't hear you."

Prince Rong was horrified when he saw Xie Xu aiming his bow at him. "Xie Xu, I have surrendered. You can't..."

The arrow pierced through Prince Rong's throat, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he could no longer say the unfinished words.

"Please say it again, Your Highness." Xie Xu added to the unfinished sentence.

Prince Rong fell straight back, and the people following him shouted, "Prince!"

"Prince Rong has already submitted to death, why don't you surrender?"

The remaining few people looked at each other after hearing this, and then slowly put down their swords.

At this time, Deputy General Yin and others caught up.

They immediately saw Prince Rong lying on the ground with his eyes open, and then looked at Xie Xu in shock.

"Thank you, sir. This..."

Xie Xu explained, "Prince Rong resisted to the end, and I have executed him on the spot."

Deputy General Yin looked at Xie Xu deeply. He didn't know whether the current situation was privately instructed by His Majesty or whether Xie Xu had killed Prince Rong on his own initiative.

"Come here," Xie Xu shouted, "bring the prince's body with you and follow me to Xizhou immediately."

"What about us?" Deputy General Yin asked hurriedly.

"Master Yin, please bring them back to the capital and report to His Majesty."

After he finished speaking, Xie Xu's two men lifted Prince Rong onto the horse's back and galloped away.

It was not until late at night that Xie Xu and others caught up with the rebels.

But General Zhenguo had been confronting them for a long time and had even fought with them once.

In order to avoid being exposed, Prince Rong's 90,000 private soldiers disguised themselves as refugees and moved across mountains and rivers.

When it got dark, they temporarily set up camp in a mountain, planning to continue their journey towards Xizhou after daybreak.

But just as they started cooking, General Zhenguo and his men surrounded the exit and shouted at them to surrender.

Because the rebel army had 90,000 people, they were not afraid at all when facing the encirclement and suppression by General Zhenguo.

After being besieged for an hour, a rebel leader led his men to try to break out of the siege.

But at General Zhenguo's command, thousands of arrows were fired, and they had no choice but to retreat back into the mountains.

Because the people were moved first this time, the weapons and other things were still left in the mountains of Xinghua Village.

These 90,000 men only carried a sword.

Xie Xu stared at the entrance and asked, "What's going on now?"

"It's dark, and we are not familiar with the situation in the mountains. We dare not go in rashly. We can only guard the exit and make deployments after daybreak." General Zhenguo said, also looking at the exit.

Xie Xu raised his hand, "Someone, bring the things up."

After a while, four people carried up a coffin.

When General Zhenguo saw the coffin, he subconsciously thought of something.

"Everyone inside, listen carefully! Prince Rong has been executed on the spot. If you don't surrender before dawn, you will face death!"
