Chapter 9: The Conspiracy of Ashenvale (5)
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhao Ziheng suddenly felt inexplicably hostile, his expression instantly turned cold, and his eyes were very sharp. "Logically speaking, your Zhou country was at fault first, but I treated you with courtesy and gave you a chance to apologize. I didn't expect that you not only had no remorse but also deliberately shielded me?"
Zhao Ziheng's tone suddenly became colder and colder, and even his momentum instantly increased a lot. This change made Zhou Cheng, Zhou Yan, Zhao Shu, Shan Zhen and others confused...
Suddenly, a large number of people appeared from both sides of the valley and shot arrows at the soldiers in the valley. Many of them were shot dead...
The entire Gray Valley was in chaos in an instant.
Zhao Shu stopped Zhao Ziheng behind him and roared: "You are such a Zhou country rat. Not only did you protect our country's wanted criminal, but you also launched a sneak attack?"
Shan Zhen also stood in front of Zhou Cheng.
"How is this going???"
Zhou Cheng also asked Shan Zhen in surprise.
"I don't know. I searched before and found no traces—"
Shan Zhen was also very surprised.
Zhao Shu angrily rebuked: "How can this be absurd? You sent people to surround Gray Valley and pretended not to know. You are so bold. Do you think we are three-year-old children? Protect the emperor——"
At the command, the Zhao soldiers stepped forward and faced each other...
Although Shan Zhen was unaware of this, he could only stabilize the situation as the other party was coming aggressively. "Protect the emperor and the prince——"
Soldiers from both countries began to exchange weapons.
"Yan, what's going on?"
"Isn't this arranged by my brother?"
Zhou Cheng took the opportunity to ask Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan didn't know the answer to any of the questions!
"Do you think your royal brother is such a despicable person?"
Neither Zhou Yan nor Zhou Cheng? Then...
Zhao Shu protected Zhao Ziheng while watching the surrounding situation and said: "Your Majesty, please go first and join the soldiers in the camp. I will cover your retreat."
"How can this be possible? Ziheng is not a coward--"
"That is not what I meant. It is just that the Zhou king is a coward and he is plotting something. The emperor guessed it right. There is such a conspiracy behind this parliament. They must want to assassinate the emperor here and then annex Zhao!"
"Uncle, take a closer look at the situation. Could it be that they really arranged for this murder?"
Zhao Shu was suddenly awakened by Zhao Ziheng's words. Looking at the situation around him, it seemed that the assassins on the canyon were not only soldiers from Zhao, but also soldiers from Zhou. Both sides not only had to fight against the assassins who suddenly appeared, but also had to fight against the other side. It was like a three-sided battle. Fortunately, all the soldiers present were carefully selected elite soldiers. It was not so easy to die. They all protected the kings of each side while dealing with this fierce battle...
"What's going on? Is there someone else lying in ambush here?"
"I don't know, but it's clear from the enemy's approach that they want to wipe us all out!"
Zhao Ziheng made a very thorough analysis.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan on the other side.
"Do you want to wipe us all out?"
"Yes, it seems that there is indeed an unexpected conspiracy behind this parliament meeting!"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan also saw the situation clearly.
After the arrows were fired, assassins swarmed down the canyon. There were hundreds of them. How did such a large number of them sneak in without being noticed by the two armies? They were wrapped in black robes and covered their faces with black cloth. It was obvious that they didn't want anyone to know their identities!
The addition of the black-clad assassins made the melee even more chaotic, but the battle between Zhao and Zhou allowed the bystanders to reap the benefits. They were almost surrounded by the black-clad assassins, as if they wanted to kill them all? Although the soldiers of the two countries were elites, they were unable to withstand the sudden situation and fell one by one...
Talk about an unexpected melee.
There are always unexpected people.
Yinyin and dozens of other guards who had just arrived at [Gray Valley] were confused when they saw the chaos. Zuo Yu immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered his subordinates to inform our army camp who were still unaware of the situation, while he and others protected Yinyin. Yinyin saw a familiar figure in the chaos, only a figure, but that person was not the person she wanted to see, nor was he Zhou Yan...
"Please go back to the barracks immediately, it's dangerous here—"
"But, Yan and the others are trapped inside--"
Zuo Yu hurriedly looked towards the center of the melee, and indeed saw Zhou Yan's figure: "It's the prince and the emperor!!"
Zuo Yu's face immediately changed. What on earth had happened? ? But he didn't have time to think about it. Zhou Yan and the others were in a very dangerous situation. Without thinking, Zuo Yu immediately asked two of his subordinates to protect Yin Yin, and he and the rest of his subordinates rushed into the melee...
At some point, Zhou Yan, Zhou Cheng, Zhao Ziheng and others started fighting...
"King Zhao, the situation looks very unfavorable to us. The assassin came for this parliament. There must be someone behind it. Now is not the time for us to kill each other!"
"Your Majesty, your words are polite, but both sides are short of troops now, so we can only work together to break out of the siege!"
Zhou Cheng raised his lips with some admiration: "I admire the wisdom of King Zhao!"
After the monarchs of both sides reached an agreement, the troops of both sides began to join forces to fight the enemy. Suddenly, Zuo Yu and his men came from the rear and disrupted the morale of the assassins. In addition, the combined efforts of Zhao and Zhou caught the assassins off guard...
When Zhou Yan saw Zuo Yu and others coming, his heart suddenly tensed up. Through the gap in the crowd, he really saw the figure of the person he least wanted to come!
The assassin army was dealing with Zhao Ziheng and his men while at the same time dealing with sneak attacks from behind by Zuo Yu and others!
After all, having fewer people still makes them at a disadvantage. Soon, Zuo Yu and his men were almost wiped out. In the chaos just now, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ziheng both spotted Yin Yin. When they saw a part of the assassins attacking Yin Yin, the three of them immediately became anxious. It was rare that the three of them were on the same front and fought their way out of the passage in the direction of Yin Yin...
“No, don’t—”
Seeing the guards who were responsible for protecting her die one by one in front of her eyes, Yinyin was terrified and frightened. She originally just wanted to stop the incident between the two countries because of her, but she didn't expect to accidentally break into a conspiracy to kill the king...
The rain is getting heavier.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger.
The thunder was deafening.
The lightning seemed very close.
The war is becoming more and more intense.
