My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

King Yong went from being shocked, unbelievable, disappointed, and angry at first, to now being overjoyed and feeling sad.

A strong wind blew from somewhere, making the flags on the city wall flutter. At this moment, King Yong's hair crown suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp "bang".

His long black hair was all scattered, and coupled with his crazy expression and behavior at the moment, he looked like a demon king who had gone astray due to practicing martial arts.

Even the personal guards beside him could not help but take a few steps back, their hands holding the knives trembling slightly.

"Liar, they are all a bunch of liars!"

"It's fake, everything is fake, even the favor you give me is fake!" His eyes were red and he questioned the queen mother angrily.

The Empress Dowager was also heartbroken and tried to comfort them, saying, "Listen to my advice. Before they make a big mistake, open the city gates and let them in. The Emperor is not a bloodthirsty man and will definitely spare your life.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

However, when King Yong heard this, he felt as if he had heard a funny joke, and was ready to throw in the towel.

"Spare me a life? Ha! You mean, after all my efforts, I still can't control my own destiny, and have to live out my life in misery under the hands of Xiao Qi?

Rather than this, I, the king, would rather give it a try!"

When the Queen Mother heard what he said, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, the next second, Prince Yong picked up his sword and placed it on the neck of the Sixth Prince Xiao Yuzhi, and shouted at the Emperor below:

"My dear brother, since you have been poisoned, you should not wake up again. Even if you wake up, you should not come back.

You are now in such a state that it is very difficult for me to do anything. Since you are still hesitant to make up your mind, then next, I will kill the Sixth Prince."

As he spoke, he was about to raise the sword in his hand and stab the Sixth Prince.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran up to the city wall and reported to King Yong:

"Your Highness, General Gu has led over a dozen men and entered the palace from somewhere unknown. We have summoned the troops from the Five City Armies and Horses Division in the city to open the North and West Gates from the inside."

Prince Yong paused and looked at the messenger.

"What did you say? A dozen people suddenly appeared in the palace?"

His troops were guarding all directions. No matter how powerful Gu Li was, it was impossible for him to enter the palace quietly.

The only explanation is the secret passage in the Yangxin Palace.

Damn it, such important information was leaked.

Now that the west and north gates have been opened, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken into.

King Yong knew that this time, it was really over.

At this time, the emperor also spoke to Prince Yong from below, saying, "Xiao You, I, because you are my brother, have repeatedly tolerated you. If you can stop now, I promise that I will spare your life and will not bring any harm to your wife and children. This is the greatest concession I can make."

When King Yong heard this, the sword in his hand began to tremble and was about to fall.

At this time, the emperor said again: "Even if you are not afraid of death, look at these soldiers behind you. They are all innocent. Although they will fight hard and fight for you at your command, can you really bear to plan for many years just to let these people die with you?"

The Queen Mother heard this and advised, "Yes, You'er, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the young master. He is your blood. Can you bear to let such a big child lose his father so soon after birth?"

When he thought of the young prince, Prince Yong was shaken again, and he glanced at the prince with a look that was full of deep meaning.

The queen was standing next to the prince, and when she heard Prince Yong's gaze, she couldn't help but lower her head.

At this moment, she finally understood why King Yong had sent people to capture her and the prince. It must have been to cover up the truth.

Thinking of this, the queen gradually felt relieved.

She knew that no matter how cruel King Yong was, he would never harm his own child.

At this moment, there was a commotion below the tower. Soon, a soldier with a few drops of blood on his face ran up and reported:

"Your Highness, a group of martial arts masters suddenly appeared from nowhere downstairs and are fighting with our people. Lieutenant General Lin sent someone to ask what we should do."

Upon hearing the news, some brave officials ran to the fence and looked down. They found that the city wall, which was originally surrounded by water and could not get through, had now been torn open. Some martial artists holding different weapons were fighting with the soldiers of King Yong.

These soldiers were obviously no match for the enemy and were soon beaten to pieces, falling to the ground wailing.

Victory or defeat is just a matter of time.

"Your Highness, please leave quickly. I and others will hold the situation here and buy you some time." Lin Ji shouted to King Yong while fighting.

As he watched the guards around him fall one after another, the light in Prince Yong's eyes gradually dimmed.

I really can't accept this. I planned so hard for so long, but I didn't expect to lose to Xiao Qi.

He couldn't figure out what exactly made him inferior to him. Now he did this just to prove to the world that he could be a good brother to the emperor, work diligently, love the people, and work hard to govern the country.

But God refused to give him such an opportunity.

Seeing that the soldiers around him were about to collapse, Prince Yong made up his mind, picked up the long sword on the ground again, held it across in front of the Sixth Prince, and said to the crowd:

"Stop it, or I will kill him now."

Upon hearing this, the people from Mingyue Villa who were fighting all looked towards Qiu Ning who was not far away.

Qiu Ning slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm.

Then, she walked down from the carriage beside her and finally stopped in front of the city wall. She looked up at Prince Yong and said:

"Your Highness, you have lost both justice and the people's support. If you continue, it will only lead to more casualties. Do you really want to disregard the lives of these soldiers who risked their lives for you, and drag them down with you?"

Prince Yong recognized Qiu Ning and sneered, "I never thought a girl like you could command a group of martial artists. Make them retreat immediately, or I will not be able to see through the sword in my hand."

As Prince Yong spoke, his men slashed the Sixth Prince's neck hard, and instantly strands of blood oozed out.

The Sixth Prince was extremely frightened and tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes.

My mother once told me that men don't shed tears easily. When facing the enemy, the more I beg for mercy and show weakness, the more sense of accomplishment the enemy will feel.

He didn't want to give Prince Yong an advantage, so even though he was scared to death, he endured it.

On the contrary, Concubine Wan, who was standing by, began to struggle hard after seeing that the Sixth Prince was injured.

"Stop, I am the Imperial Concubine. You have chosen to take me as a hostage. I am willing to cooperate with you and persuade His Majesty to withdraw his troops."

Hearing his mother's intention to exchange him, the Sixth Prince shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "Mother, I am not afraid. Even if I die, I will not let this child lose his integrity as a prince."

The Sixth Prince's words immediately broke the defenses of all the concubines and ministers present. They cursed Prince Yong for being so inhumane that he actually took a child as a hostage.

However, Prince Yong turned a deaf ear to him. He only looked at Qiu Ning downstairs and ordered, "I will count to three. If these people still don't retreat, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"one."

Qiu Ning narrowed his eyes and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

However, King Yong did not give her a chance to think.

"two."

Then, he shouted a second time.
