Children of Loulan

Chapter 470 Jun Wu Xiyan

Aihetanmu shook his head gently, took a breath, and said with some concern: "It's okay, just a few minor injuries. I just don't know how my father is doing in there!"

Ankar acted decisively and issued orders quickly. He commanded a team of soldiers to attack the palace gate with all their strength, while another team quickly built a ladder to climb over the wall. At the same time, he also arranged a team of archers to cover the high wall to ensure the king's safety.

When Batur was still immersed in his plan, he suddenly found that reinforcements had arrived. He was so shocked that he could hardly believe his eyes. He really couldn't figure it out. He had already secretly sent everyone away, so where did these reinforcements come from?

When the king saw this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He said to Batur sarcastically: "Rebellious son, it seems that even God is not on your side! You are a traitor, you are doomed to fail!"

After hearing these words, Batuer's anger erupted like a volcano. He widened his eyes, his face was full of anger, and he shouted in a deafening voice: "Quick! Kill them immediately!"

However, his men were already panicking when they saw the reinforcements coming. Originally, they were already unable to get close to the king when they were facing only a few dozen secret guards, and they also lost a large number of brothers. Now, the king's reinforcements have arrived, which makes them feel desperate and helpless.

They stared at each other, their eyes revealing fear and despair. These men knew that facing such a powerful enemy, they had almost no chance of winning.

When the secret guards around the king saw the reinforcements appear before their eyes like a god-sent soldier, their morale was instantly boosted, and their determination to protect the king became even stronger. They guarded the king tightly without flinching, forming an indestructible line of defense.

Batur was extremely anxious when he saw his men gradually losing their order and becoming a mess under the fierce attack of the enemy. He knew that if he did not take decisive measures at this time, the situation would be completely out of control.

So, he opened his throat and shouted with all his strength: "From the moment you decided to follow me, you have committed the capital crime of treason! Now that you are going to die anyway, you might as well give it a try. As long as you can kill the king, you may still have a chance of survival!"

The king naturally understood that Batur was desperate and was trying to make a final death struggle.

He responded loudly without hesitation: "I know that you were all deceived by King Cheng, and that's why you took this road of no return. What you have committed today is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. You cannot escape the blame. However, I solemnly promise that as long as you put down your weapons immediately, I can guarantee that your family will not be implicated!"

Before he finished speaking, the guards who were ready to fight to the death suddenly froze in place as if they were cast under a spell. They looked at each other, each of them with astonishment and helplessness on their faces. After all, no one wanted their family to be implicated because of their actions, especially at a critical moment like this.

Batur was so angry that he was shaking when he saw the guards stop their attacks. He widened his eyes and roared in anger: "You really believe that he will forgive your family? This is a serious crime of treason! According to the law, this crime should be punished by death, and the entire family should be punished!"

However, the king retorted without showing any weakness: "My words are the royal decree, and you are not joking!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, there was a loud bang, and the door was suddenly knocked open. Ankar led everyone in like a tide, and surrounded the place in the blink of an eye.

The fifth prince was extremely worried when he saw this. He didn't care about anything else and immediately ran over and asked with concern, "Father, how are you?" When he saw the wound on the king's body, his face turned pale in an instant, and he shouted without hesitation, "Imperial Physician! Go find the Imperial Physician!"

Seeing them coming, the king finally felt relieved, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. However, just as he relaxed his spirit, a strong sense of dizziness surged into his heart, and his body fell forward involuntarily.

The fifth prince was quick to take a step forward and catch the king steadily. The king's body was limp in the fifth prince's arms, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, as if the power of life was slipping away from him bit by bit.

The king opened his eyes with difficulty, his gaze fell on the face of the fifth prince, his voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, "Old Fifth, why are you here?"

The fifth prince looked at the king with a worried look on his face, and said softly, "I wanted to sneak out of the palace tonight, but halfway through, I suddenly found that the palace was unusually quiet, without the sound of the patrol team in the past. I felt uneasy, so I decided to go back and check, but I didn't expect to find that you, my father, had been attacked. Father, how do you feel now?"

Seeing this, Ha Wuer, who was standing by, hurried forward and supported the king together with the fifth prince. He looked down at the wound on the king's body and couldn't help but gasp, "Grandfather, you are seriously injured!"

The corners of the king's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying. "It's okay, it's just some superficial injuries."

He forced himself to be strong and continued, "Bring the third brother to me and keep him under strict watch. Do not let him down at all. Also..." He raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at the guards and black-clad assassins who had been subdued by Ankar, "I promised them that their families would not be implicated. When the crown prince comes, remember to tell him about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the king's eyes slowly closed, his head drooped weakly, and he completely lost consciousness and fainted in the arms of the fifth prince and Hawule.

In the East Palace, the situation was extremely tense. Keremu and Ziya were forced to retreat by the assassins. Although the imperial guards fought hard, most of them were killed or wounded. Seeing the black-clad men becoming more and more ferocious and their moves deadly, everyone felt desperate and terrified.

At this critical moment, Muzepal and Adi led the reinforcements to the scene like a god descending from the sky. They quickly formed a siege and trapped the man in black in the middle. This sudden change caught the man in black off guard, and he was instantly thrown into disarray and was soon killed by surprise.

After a fierce fight, only a few men in black were captured alive, and the rest were killed on the spot. Muzepal looked at the corpses and his injured father, and his heart was filled with worry and concern.

He hurried to his father's side to check his injuries. He saw that Keremu's body was covered with new and old wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood. Muzepal asked distressedly, "Father, how are you?"

However, Keremu did not answer his question, but asked with a sad face: "How is the situation with your grandfather Wang?"

Muzepal hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, father. My eldest brother and General An have already brought people to support us. Grandfather Wang will be fine."
