"Don't mess around."
Just now, when the uncle of the king was about to come out, the archers below were all taking aim. As soon as the uncle of the king showed up, the people below wanted to shoot this guy to death directly. This would save a lot of trouble, and at least our prince would not be in trouble.
But the one who came out now was different. He was the third young master of the palace. Although the eldest son inheritance system was still emphasized now, everyone understood that this was the prince's beloved child. Time was urgent during the retreat, so the child was not brought out. The prince regretted it for a long time outside.
Anyone who has been with the prince for a long time will naturally know which of his sons he loves the most. Although the eldest son has come out with him, has the prince ever looked at him in the past few days? Not even once...
When people were killed on the city wall, many people were worried that the prince might not care about the deaths of those people, but if the third young master was carried up there, then some things would be difficult to say.
The general in charge saw this and immediately ordered his men to stop. If anything happened to the young master, he would not be able to bear the responsibility. By then, the enraged prince would be able to do anything. Victory was about to be won. If something happened to the young master and ruined his future, he would have no place to regret.
The others did not dare to delay and hurried to inform the prince. Now that the young master had finally appeared, how to proceed was the prince's own business. We were not able to decide this. If we made the slightest mistake, the whole family would be executed.
The Prince of Zhennan was already in a nervous mood. He certainly knew why his uncle went up to the city wall. He didn't expect that he had escaped once, but he couldn't escape this time. This was his favorite son. When he saw his youngest son standing on the city wall, the Prince of Zhennan finally came out.
"son……"
Everyone has his own weaknesses, and the Prince of Zhennan is no exception. Although this guy is a hero, when he saw his favorite son, he unconsciously walked out of the queue. The guards behind him rushed up and surrounded the Prince of Zhennan. If there was a swordsman, he would most likely shoot the Prince of Zhennan.
Everyone thought that the young master would say something, but they were all wrong. The third young master didn't say anything, but made a move that surprised everyone. The people above didn't expect it, and the people below didn't expect it either. The third young master actually jumped down from the city wall.
"Third brother..."
Prince Zhennan was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect his youngest son to do this. Although the wall of the palace was relatively low, he was only a boy of ten years old after all. If he jumped from it, it would definitely cause great harm to his body, and he might even break his legs.
In fact, the boy had thought about all of this. He was now a hostage in the hands of the King of Nanzhao. The King of Nanzhao also knew his importance. Almost everyone in the Nanzhao Kingdom knew that he was his father's favorite son. If the King of Nanzhao used him as a bargaining chip, then his father's current victory might be wasted, so he had been waiting for an opportunity.
As long as he was forced to go up to the city wall, no matter it was the wall of the outer city or the wall of the royal palace, the young prince would jump down, either crippling himself or killing himself, but he had to do it no matter what the result was, and support his father with practical actions.
"Save people."
"Release the arrow."
Two voices were shouted almost at the same time, one from the Prince of Zhennan, the other from the chief steward of the palace guards.
The men under the Prince of Zhennan ran forward desperately, but there was still some distance between them and where the young master fell.
The archers on the city wall were the first to react. Now that the man had fallen down, they must not let him live. Seeing that the young man below could still move, several arrows were shot out immediately. Maybe because these people were too nervous, their accuracy was not very good.
However, there were more than a dozen archers, and finally an arrow hit the young master's back. But this was the only chance. The guards of King Zhennan had surrounded the area with shields, and someone immediately ran forward with the young master. Now the king had lost all the chips in his hand, and only his mother was left.
"Beat me, beat me hard, and destroy the entire palace."
The King of Nanzhao hadn't expected that his original intention of preventing the Prince of Zhennan from using these catapults would actually backfire. Who wouldn't feel heartbroken to see their beloved son fall like this? As soon as the Prince of Zhennan gave the order, the catapults in the distance immediately began to attack. Dozens of stones smashed directly into the palace, including the Queen Mother's residence, and many palaces were damaged.
The King of Nanzhao knew very well that under such circumstances, the walls of the palace could not withstand those catapults at all, as these catapults were simply too powerful.
But now the Prince of Zhennan has no time to care about this. He called all the military doctors in the army. He now wants to know how his son is doing.
"In reply to your Highness, Third Young Master is blessed by fate. He wasn't seriously injured after the fall. His biggest injury now is the arrow in his back. We have already discussed and will immediately remove it from his back. However, this is a matter of life and death..."
Several people knelt in front of the Prince of Zhennan. No one dared to guarantee that they could save the man, but they would definitely try their best. If they could save him, these people would definitely be promoted and have a wonderful future. But if they couldn't save him, then these people...
"Do your best. This king wants to hear good news."
The shouting and killing sounds in the distance had no effect on the Prince of Zhennan. He now had only one thought, which was to bring his son back to life. If his son could not survive, then you quack doctors would surely have to pay with your lives together, and no one could escape.
Originally, the palace guards wanted to resist on the city wall for a while, but they soon discovered that the two sides were not on the same level. There was no such thing as a catapult in the palace. When fighting on the city wall of the outer city, the catapults in the city could suppress some of the catapults outside, but now you can't hit them at all. They can throw stones into the palace desperately. Now that the most important people are gone, what else can the people outside care about?
