Chapter 1364
"..."
Zhang Wen pursed his lips, unsure of what to say, and could only feel anxious.
And they weren't the only ones who were anxious.
Xu Miaojin, who had already reached Zhu Yunwen's side, was even more anxious. She reached out and tugged at Zhu Yunwen's sleeve, her delicate brows furrowed as she whispered a reminder: "Tong Yun!"
Xu Miaojin still preferred to call him that: "Lord Jingchuan, Cao Zhen, is about to launch an attack, and you're not even going to look at him? They're after you!! Do you know what the consequences will be! And you still have the mind to mess around with this nonsense here..."
"Although there's still no clear chance right now, we should at least try our best to salvage the situation, right? Haven't you told me many times, 'Do your best and leave the rest to fate'?"
"If you fall completely into their hands this time..."
"From that day forward, you will never be able to leave the Qianqing Palace and the Fengtian Hall again, and you will be a complete puppet under their watchful eyes day and night!"
Xu Miaojin and he didn't have many reservations to begin with, and given the current critical and tense situation, Xu Miaojin naturally spoke even more bluntly.
Zhu Yuntong raised his head and gently patted the gun barrel to make the gunpowder inside more secure.
At the same time, he looked at Xu Miaojin without taking it seriously and said with interest, "Want to make another bet with me?"
"No." Having already achieved a brilliant record of zero win rate, Xu Miaojin refused without even thinking, almost as if it were muscle memory.
If you bet against this guy, you'll never win.
After verbally refusing, he realized that he didn't even know what he was betting on.
However, seeing the sly smile on Zhu Yunwen's face, Xu Miaojin didn't know what he was betting on, but she had a vague feeling that it was definitely related to today's events.
Zhu Yunwen complained with some regret, "Why are you so timid now? Where did your confident and articulate demeanor go? It's really boring."
Xu Miaojin tentatively asked, "What did you originally want to bet with me on?"
Zhu Yunwen raised an eyebrow: "I bet I can send them to the imperial prison."
"How could that be?" Xu Miaojin blurted out in denial—given the size and momentum of the Huaixi nobles, simply managing to escape was already the best possible outcome; yet they actually went against Tiangang and said they would arrest them…
"Then let's make a bet." Zhu Yunwen went back to the same point.
"No fighting." At this moment, Xu Miaojin resembled a program that had encountered a major bug during its operation. One condition for running was "I will definitely lose the bet with Zhu Yunwen," and the other was "How could my side possibly defeat those battle-hardened soldiers of the Huaixi Army Commander?"
Seeing Xu Miaojin's somewhat dazed expression, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but laugh: "Tell me, aren't you contradictory?"
"I..." Xu Miaojin was indeed a bit confused.
And this time.
"Kill!!!!!" A loud battle cry suddenly rang out from the Huaixi nobles. The leader, Marquis Jingchuan Cao Zhen, raised his long sword, spurred his horse hard, and spurred it to gallop directly toward Zhu Yunwen.
Meanwhile, the many elite soldiers and generals following behind him also received his order, and they also spurred their warhorses to follow closely behind, galloping forward together.
"kill!!!!!"
In an instant, shouts of battle filled the air, along with the thunderous roar of galloping hooves... and behind them, a thick cloud of yellow dust rose... an immense sense of oppression and fear swept over them as they approached.
Ru Chang couldn't help but feel fear and apprehension.
But at this point, he had no time to be afraid; he could only shout at the top of his lungs toward those behind him, "Protect His Majesty!! Be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!!"
Xu Huizu, however, had long been mentally prepared for such pressure. His expression remained cold and stern, his eyes sharpened, and he said with unwavering determination, "Kill!!!"
Then Ba, along with his many men and Ru Chang's men, went to meet them.
