A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan
Chapter 648 Rescuing the Hostages and Turning the Tide
After their impressive comeback, their momentum was even stronger than before.
Ye Qingzhao originally intended to use the characteristics of their Magical Army to give the opponent a warning and intimidate them, but instead of intimidating them, they lost more than a hundred Magical Army soldiers.
This feeling of being stuck in a rut caused Ye Qingzhao to become so enraged that she coughed up blood.
Ye Qingzhao's men were so angry at Ye Qingzhao that they vomited blood.
Panic immediately erupted. "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?!"
Just then, the third son, Ye Huaiwu, also climbed onto the city wall and saw that his father was vomiting blood, so he hurriedly ran over.
He asked anxiously, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qingzhao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and raised her hand to stop Ye Huaiwu.
"I am fine. How are things on your end? Have you found the Empress Dowager and the Empress?"
Ye Huaiwu shook his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, Father. I've searched high and low, but I still haven't found any trace of them. Could it be that they have already escaped from Lin'an City?"
Ye Qingzhao had also been suspicious when she couldn't find them. "No need to look for them anymore. Go and drag those old men outside. I don't believe they would disregard the lives of these old bones."
"Yes, I'll take care of it." After saying that, Ye Huaiwu led his men downstairs.
Ye Qingzhao said worriedly, "Third brother, you have to be careful. Remember, you've already taken the medicine once, so you can't take it again this time. Taking it too close together will be harmful to your health."
Ye Huaiwu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"
Ye Huaiwu then led a hundred members of the Mystic Army to escort the officials out of the city gate.
This magical army usually takes a secret medicine before going into battle. When the time comes, they will feel a desire to kill. So they take the medicine before they open the city gates.
As soon as Ye Huaiwu came out, Cheng Ying and the others recognized him.
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Ye Huaiwu, the third son of the family?"
"Ye Huaiwu, you defeated opponent, how dare you show your face in front of us? You weren't beaten enough last time, so you're looking for another beating this time," Shi Mobai teased.
One sentence reminded Ye Huaiwu of the humiliation of losing to those two brats. He widened his bloodshot eyes, which were swollen from lack of rest over the past two days, and said fiercely:
"Hmph! I lost last time only because you had a good weapon. If you didn't have that divine weapon, you would have won against me so easily. That's just wishful thinking!"
Cheng Ying sneered, "Whether you have a divine artifact or not, you, Ye Huaiwu, are no match for us."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the officials being held hostage. "Using a few old men as hostages, Young Master Ye has run out of new tricks."
Ye Huaiwu was speechless, his face turning red. Just as he was about to retaliate, the Magic Army suddenly began to stir. Their eyes turned red, and they let out low roars.
Ye Huaiwu knew the effects of the secret medicine were kicking in, and he wanted to finish the fight quickly. He shouted, "It seems these old men are indeed useless and pose no threat to you. If you don't care, I might just kill them at will!"
Just as Ye Huaiwu was about to order the killings, Ye Shengtang quickly pressed the loudspeaker and said:
"Wait, Ye Huaiwu, what's the matter? Tell your father, Ye Qingzhao, to come out and talk to me."
The fact that the group of veteran officials who were brought here included officials from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works, as well as two Censors-in-Chief. Their presence here indicated that they had not betrayed him, so he had to rescue them.
"Ye Shengtang, this is not up to you. Now it's up to me. Don't you know what the conditions are? Write out the abdication edict, and I'll kindly release them."
Ye Huaiwu said with a sinister smile.
"You! Shameless brat, how dare you address the Emperor by his name! You're courting death!"
The Duke of Anguo and the Minister of Revenue angrily rebuked him.
"Hmph! It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
"Someone, teach those old men a lesson," Ye Huaiwu said with a smile.
The officials who were being held captive saw the emperor and felt a glimmer of hope, but they knew this wouldn't be so easy to resolve. So they gritted their teeth and shouted in the emperor's direction:
"Your Majesty, we are not afraid to die. We beg Your Majesty not to grant the demands of these villains. After we die, please take good care of our families."
After he finished speaking, two ministers tried to rush towards the blade, but at that critical moment, the people surrounding them were all sent flying backward.
But there was no one else in front of them. What happened? Who saved them?
Just then, a carriage suddenly appeared in a spot they had cleared.
The carriage was taller and more unusual than usual. Just then, a childish voice rang out, startling them.
"Gentlemen, please get on the bus and leave the rest to me."
Although the officials were startled, they instinctively obeyed the little girl's orders and quickly climbed into the carriage.
The others who reacted rushed towards the car, trying to stop them!
They were all knocked away, some with blood on their faces, some with their arms hanging down, but soon they were jumping around again as if nothing had happened, and continued to rush towards the carriage.
Even so, the carriage charged wildly and broke through their encirclement.
Some of them tried to pull the driver off the carriage, but when they saw that the carriage was completely empty and no one was driving it, they were dumbfounded.
In that brief moment of hesitation, they managed to escape their encirclement.
Some didn't give up and tried to keep chasing the carriage, but as soon as their hands touched it, they were kicked away by a force.
That's right, it was actually Cheng Ying who came invisibly and rescued the officials. She only revealed herself after she saw that the carriages carrying the officials had safely arrived at their side.
This turn of events happened in just a few minutes, and Cheng Ying reversed the original advantage.
