Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 120 Battle of Jiacheng

Emperor Shenwu was dressed in a dragon robe and military uniform. He flicked his sleeves lightly and looked down at him condescendingly: "King Deer! Father spared your life, you should cherish it! Instead of hiding in your cave, you insisted on crossing the street and acting recklessly!"

Zhou Qizheng's expression was even more sinister: "I am the one who should be the ruler of Dasheng! Father favors you, but I want to rebel against this ruler!"

Emperor Shenwu raised his hand slightly, his eyes as cold as a knife: "Father has never thought of making you his heir! From the beginning to the end, the person Father has chosen to rule the world has always been me! All this is just your wishful thinking!"

Zhou Qizheng roared, "Nonsense! Nonsense! The eldest and second sons have already been abolished by me, so it's my turn now!"

Emperor Shenwu looked on with pity and calmness as the Deer King went mad. The remaining soldiers from Jiazhou City, beneath the city walls, poured into the city like a tide, and the gates of Jiazhou City slammed shut!

Zhou Qizheng's madness suddenly subsided, and he put on a smile again: "Seventh brother, I have prepared a big gift for you! Come here!"

The cries and pleas were heard on the city wall. The eyes of Emperor Shenwu moved slightly and his sword-like brows were slightly furrowed.

The soldiers of the Jialu King drove hundreds of civilians to the front of the two armies, including young and old, men and women, with the rebels pointing swords at their necks.

"Seventh brother, this is what I prepared specially for you! I allowed you to leave the city alone. Wasn't father proud of you? Now, you risk your life alone for these untouchables, or watch them die! You will lose your reputation as a wise ruler! Don't say I won't give you time to think. I will only give you a dozen strokes... one!"

Upon hearing this, the people of Ningzhou City in front of the battle line burst into riots and howled, but they were forcibly suppressed by force, and these people cried in despair.

On the top of the city wall, Emperor Shenwu quietly looked down at everything below.

Zhou Qizheng's voice continued: "Two! ...Three!"

Leng Qujing looked up at the expression on Emperor Shenwu's face and blurted out, "Your Majesty, you can't..."

Huang Jihong looked down at the city wall, then at the emperor's expressionless face. He was worried about the people downstairs and was at a loss as to what choice the emperor would make.

Qian Hui looked at Emperor Shenwu firmly. Emperor Shenwu just turned his head to look at Qian Hui, who nodded almost imperceptibly.

Below the city wall, Zhou Qi was laughing heartily, "Seventh brother! Zhou Xuheng! After today, the entire Dasheng Dynasty will be filled with rumors about what happened today! I'm counting on you to be a good emperor!"

Just as the Deer King finished his arrogant words, a cry of surprise was heard behind him.

On the city wall, Emperor Shenwu descended from the more than ten-meter-high city wall like a god from heaven.

Zhou Qizhen's laughter stopped abruptly. He stared in disbelief as Emperor Shenwu jumped down from the city wall.

The soldiers behind him were silent for a moment. Even the people of Ningzhou City, who were in danger, watched the scene in silence.

The Shenwu Emperor landed gracefully, his expression normal. His fingers brushed lightly across his sleeves, his expression cold and dignified. "Now, I'm here, what can you do? Zhou Qizheng, you're still using these insidious tactics as always, like a rat in the gutter! How can your father respect you? Oh, by the way, your mother, the former Imperial Concubine An, is still in the palace. I advise you not to do anything that will anger heaven and people!"

Zhou Qizheng's expression was extremely grim. After a moment, he suddenly smiled: "Zhou Xuheng, you are so ridiculous! You actually risked your life for these lowly people! If that's the case, then don't blame me! I will grant your wish!"

Zhou Qizheng suddenly shouted: "Do it!"

The killers who had been in Guoan Temple suddenly appeared around Emperor Shenwu. The thick murderous aura around Emperor Shenwu was like a tangible sharp blade, covering Emperor Shenwu one after another. The sword at Emperor Shenwu's waist was unsheathed with a "swish". As the sword came out, cold light flashed in all directions. The murderous aura around him was completely shattered by this sword. The sword energy surrounded Emperor Shenwu. Emperor Shenwu swung the sword again, his sleeves fluttered, and the hem of his clothes moved without wind. In an instant, sword energy shot out in all directions. The killers were hit by the sword energy and fell to the ground one after another.

Emperor Shenwu looked at Zhou Qizheng with disdain and said word by word: "Who else!"

Zhou Qi was glaring at the Emperor Shenwu with hatred, his eyes almost deformed and bloodshot. "Come on! Come on, my king! Kill him! Kill Zhou Xuheng!"

Why is God so unfair! He gave Zhou Xuheng such a gift! It's so unfair!

Under tremendous pressure, the soldiers under King Jialu hesitated and rushed towards Emperor Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu was like a pillar in the sea, standing still and allowing the soldiers to surround him and then fall down one after another around him.

Huang Jihong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and watched everything happening under the city wall with trepidation. He saw that the supreme emperor single-handedly blocked the siege again and again. Among the thousands of troops, the dark figure was imprinted in the hearts of everyone in Jiazhou City like a god.

Zhou Qizheng continued to go crazy: "Charge! Kill him! Kill him!"

Emperor Shenwu was surrounded by enemy troops and looked coldly at the mad Zhou Qizhen. His phantom guards were spread all over the city gate and among the enemy troops. The enemies around him fell one after another. There were invisible shadows guarding the master of the world.

Zhou Qizhen sometimes glared at Emperor Shenwu viciously, and sometimes laughed loudly. He was in a frenzy. Huanfeng's figure slowly appeared in front of the Deer King. Before Zhou Qizhen's subordinates and others could react, Huanfeng had already flown to Zhou Qizhen's chariot and captured Zhou Qizhen.

The situation under the city wall suddenly reversed. The sword energy around Emperor Shenwu became stronger, and the enemy troops around him fell one after another. The figures of Phantom Guards appeared one by one beside the emperor, guarding Emperor Shenwu.

On the city wall, Qian Hui let out a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down. He turned around and led his soldiers towards the city.

Emperor Shenwu looked at the stunned Zhou Qizheng in disbelief and said quietly, "You've completely lost!"

Zhou Qizheng suddenly came to his senses: "This is impossible! Who are they?"

Huanfeng exerted a little force, and Zhou Qi was lifted up and pressed down in front of Emperor Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu looked down at him condescendingly: "They are the personal guards of every Dasheng Emperor, passed down from generation to generation by the Dasheng emperors! Others are not qualified to know!"

Zhou Qizheng was provoked again and continued to struggle under Huanfeng's hands: "Father! Father! You are too partial! Why? Why?"

Qian Hui and Leng Qujing led a large army to surround the rebels who dared not resist anymore and quickly took control of the situation on the battlefield.

Zhou Qizheng's face twisted, and he suddenly shouted, "Don't worry about me! Kill those untouchables! Kill them!"

Emperor Shenwu's expression froze. He looked up and saw that the hesitant rebel had clenched the blade in his hand again.

Leng Qujing, who was closer, became nervous again and moved closer to the hostages.

Among the rebels were Zhou Qizheng's loyal subordinates, members of the Chen family. They were ready to raise their swords and stab the civilians without hesitation.
