"Bastard, how dare you be so savage in the imperial capital, right under the emperor's nose! Such a bloodthirsty person must be a spy from the demon race! Soldiers, follow me to kill this fiend! "
Chu Rui's violence and savagery had finally angered the general guarding the city. Those thirty soldiers were his subordinates. Previously, he had turned a blind eye to their bullying. After all, they were his subordinates. If he didn't help them and instead blamed them, it would indeed affect his reputation in the army. Most importantly, the Imperial Capital was a place where the waters ran too deep. Perhaps they would meet an old man on the road who was a f * cking official of some rank, or even a duke or marquis. These guards might not have any family background, but their relatives might be related to some high-ranking officials or nobles. As a general, he had no choice but to be cautious and tremble with fear.
Now was the time of chaos, and generals were shining brightly. These days, he had reaped more benefits than he had in the past ten years. Although these soldiers were just pawns, they were still his subordinates. As a general, if he couldn't even protect his own subordinates, who would listen to him? Soldiers only cared about food and clothing, and living a good life. They didn't think too much about other things. His own people were treated like chickens and ducks and killed in front of him. Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, if he didn't step in, he would lose all face after today. Moreover, His Majesty's most beloved daughter, Princess Cang Die, was here. If he performed well, his career might take a turn for the better.
Having thought this through, the general guarding the city saw that the time was right. Without another word, he led his soldiers and charged forward.
"Who dares to move? I, I, I … I'll risk my life with him! "
However, at this moment, a young voice sounded. Turning his head to look, he saw a young boy who still had the innocence of a child, standing up. Facing the thousands of soldiers and horses, this kind of power, he was so scared that his body was trembling. However, he still stood there firmly, blocking the path of their charge towards Rui.
"I'm not doing this anymore! Whoever wants to touch Hero Chu, the person who saved our Luo City, the person who saved all of us, the lives of our wives and children, I'll risk my life with him! "
With Goudan 'er taking the lead, the bloodlust of the soldiers was aroused. Ten thousand hungry, tired, and weary Luoyang City soldiers, dressed in rags, looked more like beggars than soldiers. Yet all of them stood out and stood between Chu Rui and the Canglan City guards. Even though they didn't even have weapons in their hands right now, when faced with thousands of fully armed soldiers whose fighting quality was a level higher than theirs, none of them retreated. Perhaps some of them were forced to do something beyond their ability and had no choice but to come forward. However, there were also many who were sincere. Commoners were like that. Whoever you were good to, they would be good to you. Otherwise, why would there be the saying, "Everyone who upholds justice is a dog butcher, but most of the heartless scholars?"
He had suffered so much, bid farewell to his family, and risked his life to come here to help. However, what he got in return was such a cold look. Who would have thought that this would happen? Since they didn't treat him as a human, why should he throw his life away for these idiots? Why not risk his life for the person who saved his entire family? No matter what, he had to do it with vigor. Even if he died, he would not let down his benefactor!
"Die!"
Chu Rui was very touched by this situation. They were all simple and honest men. No matter what, even if he brought them here, he would definitely not let anything happen to them. Dying on the battlefield was needless to say. However, if he were to die in the hands of these idiots, he would definitely not be able to accept it. With his fastest speed, he took care of the remaining ten or so people. Turning his head, he saw that the group of people who had lived in the capital for a long time had pretty much been worn down. Facing ten thousand hot-blooded men, they actually retreated instead of advancing. They were forced to retreat a little.
"Stop, all of you, stop!"
Princess Cang Die finally roared at this moment. However, at this moment, the hostility in everyone's heart had been aroused. To put it simply, they were all red-eyed. Who the hell cared about a princess? Even if the Emperor came, they wouldn't care. On the other hand, Chu Rui's mouth twitched when he saw the little girl's tear-stained face. With your endurance, you still want to come out and act so pretentious to raise morale to fight against the Demon soldiers? Forget it!
"What, do you all want to play?"
Chu Rui could not give face to Princess Cang Die, but he had to face the ten thousand Luo City soldiers who followed him to Canglan City. If they fought this battle, there would definitely be casualties. It was still the old saying that dying on the battlefield was glorious. However, they couldn't just carelessly lose their lives in their own nest.
A terrifying murderous aura and frightening hostility spread out from Chu Rui's body. Instantly, everyone present felt as if they were in purgatory and couldn't help but tremble all over.
For a scholar to become an official, although he did not have the strength to truss a chicken, in the court, even the bandits who killed people like scything flax were somewhat afraid of him. In fact, in terms of martial strength, they could pinch him with one hand! A weak and scholarly emperor living in the palace was like a third-class cripple, the kind that would pant after walking a few steps. However, sitting in the throne room, even a peerless general who had swept through the battlefield and taken hundreds of thousands of lives would be scared into silence by the emperor's anger, trembling in fear!
This wasn't strength, but momentum!
What Chu Rui was using now was momentum! He had no authority, so he couldn't use his authority to suppress! What he used was the murderous aura born from slaughtering so many lives and the hostility in his heart. The two combined to form an aura field!
Just one person, just one person, just one person, just one person standing there, just one pair of eyes looking at you …
However, at this moment, everyone felt as if they were in purgatory with that terrifying fellow as the center. Beside them was no longer the west gate of Canglan City, but a terrifying battlefield filled with corpses and streams of blood under their feet! Endless cries of ghosts and howls of wolves resounded in his ears. Those mournful howls that were filled with hidden bitterness were simply soul-snatching sounds that could take one's life.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak …"
However, a battle didn't break out in the end. It wasn't because of Chu Rui, but because of an extremely strange and ear-piercing sound.
Raising their heads, they saw many black dots appearing in the originally clear sky. These black dots grew larger and larger in everyone's eyes.
"Heavens, the Demonic Soldiers are here again!"
An extremely sharp voice shouted at the top of its lungs. It was as if it was going to shatter everyone's eardrums. Instantly, it was chaos. The commoners who were watching the commotion fled frantically. The Canglan City soldiers and Luo City soldiers who were like fire and water earlier also had a drastic change in expression.
