We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

boom--

Hearing the explosion in the distance, King Qin trembled all over.

"What the hell is going on?!"

The night watchman nearby looked in the direction of the sound and gritted his teeth, "Who's such a loser? Using a grenade right now?!"

When King Qin heard his words, his eyes lit up. "Is this a grenade? From what you said, it seems you have one on you as well?"

The night watchman looked at him warily: "What are you going to do?"

The King of Qin laughed and said, "Don't be so stingy. Give me one to play with."

The night watchman immediately refused: "No, each night watchman is only equipped with two grenades, which are used in critical moments."

"Give me one. Don't you have another one?"

The Night Watchman immediately said, "The last one is for us to commit suicide if the mission fails!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Qin's eyes widened.

My goodness, the grenade explosion makes such a loud noise. If you use it to commit suicide, won’t there be no trace of your body left?

He couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Lao Liu is so good at fighting. With loyal men like you, nothing is impossible."

The night watchman didn't respond, but turned to look at the flares gradually extinguishing in the sky:

"The explosion is in the northwest, and the signal flare is at the north gate of the Imperial Palace. If we charge northwest, we will definitely be able to reunite with His Highness."

The King of Qin curled his lips and said, "I have persisted for so long, helping him to create chaos. This is already quite generous. Why should I reunite with him?"

The night watchman remained calm and said sternly, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, you are wrong. It is not that you are unilaterally helping my Highness, but that our two families are working together."

"Without our assistance, can you escape the imperial capital with just your men?"

Hearing this, the King of Qin snorted coldly, but did not refute: "Well, I will help Lao Liu again."

"Let me be frank. After we break out of the imperial capital, we'll each go our separate ways. I won't submit to Old Six!"

The night watchman nodded: "That's natural."

At this moment, the King of Chu came over carrying two short spears.

Although he was no match for Li Che and Li Lin, he was considered a serious martial artist among the kings and was more than capable of dealing with these Southern Army soldiers.

I tried my skills for the first time today, and it was a great kill. I actually felt a bit like the King of Chu.

"Second brother!" The King of Chu wiped the blood from his face. "The rebels have been killed and dispersed. Where should we go next?"

The King of Qin ignored him, exchanged a glance with the King of Jin who stood behind him with a sword in hand, and gave a decisive order:

"Go north and join the old Liuhe Army!"

Everyone quickly cleared the battlefield, called up their personal soldiers, and headed towards the imperial city.

As soon as they turned a corner, the vanguard soldiers suddenly stopped.

The King of Qin frowned and was about to start cursing when he saw that the entire street was blocked by the rebels.

The road ahead was blocked tightly, and hundreds of rebel soldiers were holding shields and spears, ready for battle.

The roofs on both sides were filled with archers, with their bowstrings fully drawn, gleaming with cold light.

The King of Qin smacked his lips and tightened his grip on the sword.

The King of Jin beside him had a solemn expression on his face, and the King of Chu, who had been complacent just now, was so frightened that his face turned pale.

As for the King of Qi... the moment he saw the rebel formation, he fainted with a "ka" sound.

The rebel general sneered and raised his hand to order: "Prepare to shoot!"

"Wait a minute!" the adjutant on the side hurriedly stopped him, "General, those are the King of Qin and the King of Jin!"

The general was obviously clueless: "Who cares what king he is? We've already rebelled, why would we care about this?!"

"How can you call it rebellion? We are the prince's followers, and we are supporting him!" The adjutant immediately interrupted. "Besides, if the King of Qin and the King of Jin died at our hands, would we be able to bear the blame?"

"When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, even if it's just to appease the people, he will use you and me as a target!"

"What a hassle..." the general complained, but he became more cautious and changed his tone.

"Everyone, stop shooting arrows! Capture the King of Qin and the King of Jin alive!"

At the command, the rebels took immediate action.

The sword and shield soldiers were in front, blocking the entire street, and the spearmen were behind, setting up a forest of spears.

King Qin and others subconsciously took a step back.

These personal soldiers of the princes had just been released, they were weak and their equipment was hastily assembled.

It's okay to bully those small-scale city defense forces, but when you encounter a regular army with a complete organization and proper training, you don't know where to start.

Not to mention repelling them, even the ordinary formation set up by the opponent could not be broken through.

Just as the King of Qin gritted his teeth and was about to order a fight to the death.

Suddenly, a roar came from behind: "Your Highnesses, get down!"

whoosh-

A round object flew past overhead.

The King of Qin suddenly thought of something and fell to the ground without hesitation. He also pulled the unconscious King of Qi over and stood in front of him as a human shield.

After a breath.

Boom——

After a loud bang, tiles from the houses on both sides fell like rain.

When the King of Qin looked up, he saw that the rebel formation had been blown to pieces. A large number of swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row were lying on the ground, with broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground, and cries of pain could be heard everywhere.

The Night Watchmen were equipped with the most advanced high-explosive grenades, which could cause extremely horrific damage in such a crowded and cramped area.

"Your Highness, don't just stand there. Take this opportunity and charge forward!" The Night's Watch shouted, drew out his hidden blade and rushed forward first.

The King of Qin kicked the King of Qi away, jumped up and called out to his subordinates:

"This thing is fucking awesome! I say... this is the last one you have, make sure you leave it for me to try!"

. . . . . .

A few hundred meters away, another street.

There was another loud noise, and Huo Duanli's eyes brightened a little.

"That sound is definitely a grenade, definitely the work of the Night's Watch! The power of Fengguo's gunpowder has truly improved. Your Highness is truly a genius, I'm no match for him!"

"Father, after we fight our way out, I'd like to ask His Highness to allow me to research gunpowder. What do you think?"

Huo Tao nodded and reluctantly replied, "Yeah."

Upon hearing this, Huo Duanli became even more excited and his steps became lighter.

"When my second brother is in the court, I will study gunpowder in the rear. It would be great if my eldest brother could lead the troops outside."

As he spoke, he chopped down a rebel who was rushing towards him.

"Father can then enjoy his old age at home and live out his days in peace! Isn't that right, Father?"

"Father, what do you say?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Huo Tao coughed lightly a few times and patted Huo Duanli's arm:

"Li'er, I think you should stop running, looking at people, and talking to me at the same time."

"If you torture me any more, I'll be dead, not to mention living out my days in peace!"

Huo Duanli was stunned, and then he realized that his father had been carried on his back and was so bumpy that he couldn't breathe.

When I looked up again, my eldest brother was rushing towards me angrily with a big knife in his hand. I didn't know whether he wanted to kill the enemy or himself.

Huo Duanli: . . .
