Despicable, keep him out of the city

Although he said that he would help Sun Jinzi obtain the antidote, Sun Jinzi wasn't in a rush even to do so.

Jin Chuxuan, who had already escaped to the city gate tower, looked at the generals who were still in pursuit just a while ago. When they saw Jin Chupei, they immediately retreated, and his heart quickly became unbalanced.

Perhaps, when he had just escaped after being chased by them, he hadn't felt anything, but now, without comparison, there would be no harm.

He was a prince who had been chased and beaten up by the Easterner, but Jin Chupei immediately turned his horse and fled after being chased and beaten up by the Easterner.

Didn't this mean that he was not as good as Jin Chupei?

Of course, to a certain extent, he might not be able to compare to Jin Chupei, at least in terms of using brute force, he was. However, in terms of intelligence and skills, he was not much weaker than Jin Chupei.

However, in this war that was supposed to accumulate military merits, he lost more and more miserably each time.

He raised his head to look at the sky. The sun at the border seemed to be even colder. It was now autumn, and the land below was a desolate wasteland. The autumn wind was blowing, making people feel flustered.

”Vice General Wang …” Jin Chuxuan looked at the soldiers of the Easternum who were about to leave. There were about a thousand of them, but the ones that were left behind, Jin Chupei, only brought a few hundred.

He was above the city gate tower, and Jin Chupei was below the city gate, so he only needed one step …

Wasn't this the right time?

Jin Chuxuan's heart jumped, his mouth was already faster than his brain, he summoned the Vice General Wang.

Very quickly, the loud roar of a Vice General Wang could be heard.

”Someone, Four royal highness fainted because of injuries.”

The city gate tower was thrown into a state of panic.

Very quickly, Jin Chuxuan was sent back into the small room in the city gate tower to rest.

When the Vice General Wang saw Sixth Prince riding over on his black horse, he steeled his heart, clenched his teeth, and shouted: ”Men, Sixth Prince has joined hands with the Easterner to rebel, quickly close the city gates, otherwise, if the Sixth Prince comes in, we will all die.”

All the city guards were stunned, everyone immediately looked at each other, but none of them dared to move.

”Did you hear that, the Sixth Prince is conspiring against us, he allied with the Easternum and wants to take the wheat city down.”

If not, when Fourth Prince left, he would chase after him and beat him up. However, when Sixth Prince left, they would immediately retreat, and obviously, Sixth Prince had even fewer people with him.

At first, no one believed him, but after hearing what the Vice General Wang said, and more importantly, he came down from the city gate to personally close the city gate, in an instant, everyone believed him.

Without hesitation, they all began to move together.

Jin Chupei just looked at the thick and old city gate that had traces of history flashing through it. After a series of coarse sounds, the gate was quickly closed, and following that, the suspension bridge over the city moat was also pulled up.

As the commotion at the entrance of wheat city City grew louder and louder, Sima Yuzhu, who had already withdrawn, turned her horse and looked back.

Seeing that Jin Chupei was only leading a few hundred people and they were being isolated outside the moat, their figures, under the shining of the sun, seemed cold and lonely.

This internecine fighting had saved her a lot of trouble.

At the start, when she saw Jin Chupei's excitement and disappointment, she was filled with joy.

Other than being disguised by Jin Chupei and waiting to be punished by her royal father, there might be another method to her life as well.

She wanted to capture the man in front of her who was as arrogant as a God. Then, she wanted to bring him back to the Easternum, so that he could kowtow towards her.

Merely thinking about such a thing made Sima Yuzhu feel happy, and she couldn't help but smile as she whipped her horse and ran over.

”Your Highness …” The deputy general blocked Sima Yuzhu's path.

”We are not Jin Chupei's match.” Even if the two of them combined forces, they wouldn't be able to defeat Jin Chupei.

”There's no need to fight him. I just need to go over and talk to him properly. Do you believe that a few arrows will be shot from the city wall soon?

When their people are almost consumed by their own people, we can fight back and pick a cheap bet. ”

By that time, perhaps even without them doing anything, Jin Chupei and his several hundred men would have already turned into the spirits of those so-called ”own men” inside the city walls.

Easternum looked at Sima Yuzhu. Ever since he had partnered with Sima Yuzhu, all he had seen was Sima Yuzhu planning, planning, and scheming.

Furthermore, he had grown up with her since childhood, so he had some special feelings for her.

Therefore, he would not retaliate against Sima Yuzhu's words. At most, he would only raise his own suspicions.

”Then Your Highness, this subordinate will accompany you.”

Sima Yuzhu did not refuse.

She could take risks, but she didn't want to die.

With the deputy general by her side, her safety had increased by a few more points.

After all, Jin Chupei was extremely intelligent.

”Sixth Prince, look, the one behind is your own blood brother.”

Sima Yuzhu spurred her horse forward, and stopped at the safest distance.

She had calculated before for this position.

They would not be ambushed by the archers on top of the city walls, nor would they be injured by Jin Chupei.

However, Jin Chupei was still able to hear her voice when she spoke a little louder.
