Suiyang City Lord's Mansion.

This was once the temporary palace when the King of Wei fled south last year, and a year later it became the residence of the prince and queen of Wei.

In the lobby of the city lord's mansion, the young prince Zeng sat opposite his mother, with both of them full of sorrow.

The prince Zeng said to his mother in a trembling voice: "My mother, will this Suiyang City really be captured by the people of Zhao?"

The queen looked around with a sad face. After confirming that the people standing around were all their confidants, she whispered to her son: "Although the mother and queen have been living in the palace for many years, she also knows that the strength of the Zhao ** team is unparalleled in the world. Now Duan Ganzi has only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in her hands. How can he make the strong opponent of Zhao's strong army?"

Prince Zeng blinked a few times when he heard this, and then continued to ask: "Mother, if the Zhao army captured Suiyang City, what will our fate be like?"

As soon as Prince Zeng said this, the palace people serving around all raised their ears to find out the answer to this question.

To be honest, this is also the answer that 200,000 Wei **mins in Suiyang City want to know at this moment.

After all, this city just became the territory of Wei a few years ago. Most of the people here now speak the language of Chu and use the words of Chu. There is no question of much loyalty to Wei.

So at this time, most Suiyang people did not think about dying for the country of Wei, but instead thought about how they could avoid becoming slaves or even massacre after the city was broken.

After all, according to the common rules of this era, as long as a city is broken, then the ensuing will inevitably be plunder and killing, because this is the most effective means to consume the vitality of an enemy city.

It is precisely because of the fear of looting and massacre that the soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City were able to hold on for so many days under such circumstances.

Suddenly, a burst of extremely loud noise came in, as harsh as a buzzing sound.

The faces of everyone in the hall changed at the same time. The prince Zeng subconsciously stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and no one could answer his question.

The noise was still approaching. Suddenly, the head of the Wei court guard holding a long sword rushed into the room and shouted loudly: "Crown Prince, Queen, something is wrong. Team Zhao** has entered the city. Please ask the prince and queen to leave here quickly!"

"What? The people of Zhao have entered the city?" Prince Zeng, the queen, and even the people in the entire hall were all stunned after hearing the news.

Although they had long thought of such a possibility, when such a reality suddenly appeared before them, they still felt unbelievable from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, once the Zhao army enters the city, it means that everything is broken. Where their destiny is going, it is something they themselves don’t know.

Seeing that everyone was staying there, the shouts of killing outside were approaching quickly, the chief guard couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted: "Please ask the queen and prince to leave here quickly, otherwise if they are rushed in by the people of Zhao, it will be too late!"

After hearing this, the queen was shocked and finally came to her senses. She subconsciously took her son's little hand and said to the prince Wei Zeng: "Zeng'er, leave here with her mother!"

However, unexpectedly, the prince Wei Zheng broke free from his mother's arm at this time and said loudly to everyone in the hall: "No, you should all know that King Zhao came to quell the rebellion for his father, so the Zhao team entered the city to kill Duan Ganzi, and it is absolutely impossible to make things difficult for us! We should not escape now, we should be waiting for the arrival of Zhao team here, because only Zhao team is our real ally now!"

I have to say that the young prince’s words were very organized and immediately touched many people, causing many people in the room to look hesitant on their faces.

The head of the palace guard guarding the two of them stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Crown Prince, I think the people of Zhao are too kind. It is important to know that most of the territory lost by Wei in the past few years has been taken away by Zhao. How could such a Zhao State sincerely help Wei State?"

Prince Zeng still needs to refute, but the queen, who was standing beside him, was also scheming after hearing the words of the Chief Guard, so she simply grabbed his child's hand. Regardless of how Prince Zeng screamed and resisted, she dragged the child out of the hall.

When everyone saw this, they naturally followed immediately, guarded the mother and son tightly out of the hall and headed towards the back door of the mansion.

After a while, the group came to the side door of the mansion. The head guard walked in front with a long sword in his hand, reached out and opened the door and walked out.

As everyone was about to follow, they suddenly saw the guard in front of them screaming, and they staggered back. There was a wound on both front and back of their chests. The wound was still gurgling and blood was pouring out, and it was actually a sword piercing through his chest.

The incident happened extremely suddenly, which made everyone behind the Chief Guard stunned. After a few breaths, someone came to his senses, and several female palace ladies instantly let out extremely sharp screams.

Hundreds of Wei soldiers rushed in from outside the side door, quickly forming an encirclement, surrounding the prince, the queen and his group.

A middle-aged man holding a long sword and blood was dripping down the sword's edge appeared in front of the two of them, and said in a very pleasant tone: "I wonder where the prince and the queen are going?"

Everyone's face changed at the same time after seeing this person's face, and the queen's face changed even more. She couldn't help but subconsciously exclaimed: "Duan, Duan Ganzi!"

That's right, this guy who suddenly led people to block the prince and queen here was Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei State and Wuxiangjun.

Duan Ganzi looked at the panicked queen and his party, and the smile on his face became even more pleasant. He shook the sword in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Why can no one give me an answer? Where are you here! These guys dare to trick the queen and the prince into running away, and they all killed!"

With Duan Ganzi's order, hundreds of soldiers from Wei, who were like wolves and tigers, immediately rushed forward. The queen and the prince's many palace people were not the opponents of these killing talents? In just a short moment, blood flowed freely, and all of them returned to the west.

Only the prince, the queen and his son were surrounded in the center. The queen was completely disgraced, her pretty face turned pale, and even when she spoke, she looked very trembling: "Wu Xiangjun, you, what are you doing?"

Duan Ganzi held a long sword covered with blood and said with a sneer: "I actually don't want anything, I just want to protect the safety of the prince and the queen. Well, now all the traitors have been killed. Please ask the prince and the queen's followers to come."

Perhaps it was because of the corpses all over the ground that the ten-year-old prince Zeng suddenly jumped up and pointed at Duan Ganzi and cursed: "Duan Ganzi, you are such a shameless traitor! It is because of you that the Wei Kingdom has become the current state. You poisoned my father in public and stole the authority of Wei Kingdom from behind. I vowed that one day I would crush your bones and ashes and kill your entire clan!!!"

Prince Zeng's words were extremely vicious, which changed everyone present's face.

The queen, who was standing next to Prince Zeng, came to her senses instantly and covered Prince Zeng's mouth tightly, preventing him from continuing to speak.

Duan Ganzi's face changed again and again after being scolded by the prince Zeng, and finally couldn't help laughing to the sky: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that you, the puppet prince who was not taken seriously at all, could even say such righteous words, which really surprised me."

After a pause, Duan Ganzi suddenly turned his face and said to the mother and son in a very serious tone: "To be honest, the people of Zhao have now broken through the city and will soon be killed into this temporary palace. The minister really can't bear to let the prince and the queen fall into the hands of the people of Zhao to be humiliated, so"

Duan Ganzi deliberately paused, slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and then grinned at the trembling mother and son in front of him: "So, in order to prevent the Wei State from being insulted by Zhao State, we can only ask the queen and the prince to set off in advance!"

Duan Ganzi's words instantly slashed into the hearts of the queen and the prince like a bolt from the blue, shaking the mother and son, and the queen's body was trembling and almost couldn't stand firm. She said with a trembling voice: "Wu Xiangjun, do you actually want to kill the old woman and son?"

Duan Ganzi laughed out loud without any concealment: "That's right! That damn Zhao Dan, he was obviously planning to murder Wei, but he put this crime on Wu Duan Ganzi. Now he is still going to lead the Six-Nation Alliance to catch Wu Duan Ganzi and his accomplices in one go? How can such a good thing be done in the world!"

"Hmph, didn't he just want you and two others to be puppets? Then I'm not as good as Zhao Dan's wish! I must kill you and his mother here. I want to see what wonderful expressions should be on his face after Zhao Dan knows that he can no longer secretly manipulate the Wei Kingdom?"

After saying this, Duan Ganzi stopped hesitating. After laughing, the sword in his hand slashed directly at the head of Prince Zeng in front of him.

The Queen of Wei, who was standing aside, was shocked and rushed to Prince Zeng, blocking the sword for Prince Zeng.

Only a scream was heard, and the sword hit the queen's back, and blood flowed out along the wound, instantly dyeing the white clothes on the queen's back bright red.

Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment, then raised his sword again and said with a grim smile: "Okay, since that's the case, let the two of you and your mother end it with one sword!"

Duan Ganzi once again raised his long sword and stabbed heavily at the back of the queen in front of him.

"Swoosh!" Suddenly an arrow broke through the air and shot Duan Ganzi's right wrist, directly penetrating her wrist.

Duan Ganzi screamed and staggered back. Subconsciously looked along the way of the bow and arrow, but found a young general from Zhao State standing there, still holding the attitude of bending the bow and shooting arrows in his hand.

The young general of Zhao State threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out a long sword from his waist, and then pointed at Duan Ganzi in a deep voice and shouted: "Zhao Kuo is here, Duan Ganzi, rebel, will die!"

Zhao Kuo roared, and hundreds of Zhao soldiers rushed out from behind Zhao Kuo, followed Zhao's footsteps tightly, submerging Duan Ganzi and his followers.
