Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 75: Reversing the Situation
"Your Majesty?!"
In the middle of the fight suddenly a squad of no less than five hundred people came.
Song Wejin's remaining force of only two hundred men immediately retreated away due to the significant difference in numbers.
"Your Majesty, forgive us for being late." The man who had just come looked back, recognizing who that man was Xuan Zou showed a smile between his lips.
"Commander Fang."
In contrast to Xuan Zou who was smiling at the appearance of the additional troops, Song Wejin's face turned ugly with the arrival of the troops he had previously held in the prison room.
"Fang An?! How did you guys get out of there?"
Fang An only snorted at Song Wejin's question. "It's not important to tell you the Prime Minister. It's not important at all."
"Fang An, who told you we were here?" asked Xuan Zou.
"The Queen and Queen, Your Majesty. He was accompanied by a young man, that young man who broke the prison lock seal."
A young man?
Xuan Zou only knew one young man at this moment. None other than Zhang Yu. "Fang An, where is the Empress, the Queen and the young man now?"
"Here Your Majesty," One voice that made all eyes avert.
Xuan Zou looked up and saw his three wives coming up with golden-coloured swords. Still with Zhang Yu beside him.
"I took your sword, Your Majesty." After saying Ling Qiao threw the sword at her husband.
Xuan Zou caught the sword thrown at him, staring fixedly at the golden-coloured sword that was his beloved sword. His eyes looked back at Song Wejin. A real anger was emanating.
"This is the day of your death!" the floor then shot out with hundreds of troops who had just arrived.
Within a short period of time the fight instantly changed, Song Wejin and his two hundreds of people who were originally in the upper hand were now overwhelmed by the insistence of Fang An's forces. Especially with the existence of General Zhao Yun and Xuan Zou, it did not take long for their numbers to become a fiber of people.
Zhang Yu still remained beside Ling Qiao, his eyes staring at Song Wejin who was now overwhelmed facing two opponents at once. Xuan Zou and Zhao Yun. Maybe if one-on-one he can still defend, but if two opponents at once is luck if it can still go safely.
"You don't need to interfere in this fight, you can see now that control is in His Majesty's hands. It will soon be over."
Zhang Yu turned his face. Although his blood was boiling at the sight of the fight before his eyes, what Empress Ling Qiao said was true, without him getting directly involved the fight would soon be over.
Zhang Yu only watched the fight from a distance, not forgetting the task that His Majesty the Emperor had given him in order to remain beside the Empress. At first everything was fine, until a loud voice pierced into his ear.
"Revelation! Get out of there!"
Spontaneous Zhang Yu's eyes shimmered, much to his surprise when he saw a powerful attack directed at him. Or more aptly to Empress Ling Qiao.
"Empress, ...."
Whuts...
Booms!
Zhang Yu immediately spread out the sword in front of his body, creating a single Qi shield that resisted the attack.
His efforts were not in vain, although it had to be destroyed the shield was able to withstand the attack.
The three emperor wives were shocked to the point of not being able to react, Zhang Yu led them away from the fighting ground. However, there were some soldiers who were chasing.
Of course they were commanded by Song Wejin. Thinking there was no chance of winning in the fight, he tried to think of one other way: to take advantage of the Empress and Queen's existence.
Meanwhile, Xuan Zou who knew Song Wejin's intentions angrily hunted down the old man. "Bad! How dare you attack my wife. I killed you!"
Song Wejin seemed to have activated a suicide bomb for herself. Xuan Zou's anger instantly peaked when he found out he had ill intentions towards his three wives.
Wound after wound lodged in Song Wejin's body, the old man in a desperate state continued to look for ways to leave the palace safely.
"Your Majesty, ...." Song Wejin wanted to say, but Xuan Zou quickly slid the sword almost coagulated his mouth with his sharp blade.
Of course this was very surprising to Song Wejin. He quickly pulled his head down and jumped to keep his distance.
"Your Majesty, you can indeed kill me right now with your troops. But you have to remember that you still have seven sons."
Xuan Zou's steps stopped hearing Song Wejin's words. "What do you mean?!"
Song Wejin smiled then said, "More than half of the troops going to the border are my people. If the news of my death spreads, just be prepared you'll also get some unpleasant news."
Xuan Zou's eyes were completely red hearing Song Wejin's words. But he couldn't act rashly because he didn't know if it was real or just a bluff. He did not want anything to happen to his flesh and blood.
"Now what do you want?" asked Xuan Zou.
Song Wejin lowered her sword then eyes shimmered around. "Give me a way to go."
Without thinking much Xuan Zou instantly stopped the fight. Although only a little more steps and victory is obtained, but he is not calm when it comes to his children.
"You all back off!" Zhao Yun, three eunuchs and hundreds of troops retreated according to the emperor's orders.
"Now you can go,"
Song Wejin smiled, then darted away leaving the backyard territory.
"Your Majesty, you're still naive. You yourself know what the character of your sons looks like. But you still believe my words. By the way, thanks for your generosity, I'll be back someday." Song Wejin darted quickly and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xuan Zou only tightened his teeth after finding out if all of this was just a bluff.
Xuan Zou clearly knew the character of his seven children. They were all geniuses who had amazing talents and had a strong stance.
However, his intuition as a parent forced him to hold back even though the possibility was really small.
"Your Majesty ...." Zhao Yun approached.
"..."
"Leave it. Consider him lucky." Xuan Zou snorted furiously.
"But don't think he can mess around. Whenever he comes back, I'll kill him with my own hands."
Xuan Zou lowered his gaze, the look on his face changed when he saw the dozens of soldiers that were previously on Song Wejin's side were still in the backyard.
"Why are you still here?" asked Xuan Zou in a stifled voice.
Dozens of soldiers lowered their heads.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we do not intend to betray. The Prime Minister threatened us with using our families, we had no choice but to obey his words."
Xuan Zou flinched unresponsively. Until Ling Qiao approached with Zhang Yu beside him. "Your Majesty, they're not lying. This time it was the full act of the Prime Minister, please that His Majesty grant them forgiveness."
Xuan Zou looked at his wife, then sighed. "You're lucky that the Empress said so. Thank you to the Queen."
At once the dozens of soldiers prostrated and thanked Ling Qiao, also not forgetting to Xuan Zou as their Emperor.
