Everyone's hearts were boiling with anger, and Du Tan's disdain could be seen. Even the long sword in this guy's hand was closer to Guan Tan's skin, and there was a faint trace of blood.
Guan Cheng's face was also as dark as water. The dignity of the Datong royal family was now being trampled on like a joke by a Sima from a small country.
"Du Tan, I say this one last time, let her go and you can live!"
Du Tan smiled and said: "I have said that I will let her go after my Highness is safe, but I also advise you not to act rashly, otherwise it will be bad if you hurt the princess."
Everyone looked at the long sword in Du Tan's hand that was close to Guan Tan's neck and did not dare to move.
"That's right." Looking at the angry Jin army and Jin King Du Tan in front of him, he felt waves of joy welling up in his heart, and even the depression of defeat dissipated a little.
More and more Jin soldiers gathered around, and the shouts of the other half gradually weakened. Du Tan knew that the troops he had gathered before had completely dispersed.
His rear army was also greatly damaged by this battle. Looking behind him, he saw that Liu Dong and others were nowhere to be found, which gave him a slight sense of comfort.
At this time, a fast horse arrived. The knight on the horse rolled down his saddle until behind the crowd, rushed straight to Guan Cheng and knelt down in front of him.
"Your Highness, I am punished by death! I am punished by death!"
The person who came was clearly Wang Ye.
At this time, Wang Ye was covered in blood, and there was a long and narrow wound on his cheek.
"Get up."
Guan Cheng had no intention of saying anything like punishment at this time, and just asked: "How is the situation?"
"Back to Your Highness, thirty-six of our troops were killed, but two hundred and three were beheaded, and twenty-one were captured. The general has already ordered people to escort them over."
"Okay, bring it up."
Guan Cheng turned to Du Tan and said, "Du Tan, let Gu's sister go. Gu will give you and your men a way to survive."
Du Tan said, "His Majesty, the King of Jin, will also negotiate terms with a Sima from a small country like me?"
"Du Tan, Gu's patience is limited, let Gu's sister go, otherwise I will let all your subordinates be buried with her!"
"Your Highness, King Jin, I have been a humble person since I was young. Now that I have reached this point today, I have never thought about going back alive. You should give up. My life is decided by my Highness!"
At this time, Guan Cheng's face was frighteningly dark, but his sister was in the opponent's hand, and the long sword had obviously cut his neck, and blood was flowing down his white neck. Guan Cheng did not have sharpshooters under his command, but Guan Cheng Don't dare to gamble.
"What's wrong, Your Highness King Jin?"
Seeing Du Tan's mean smile, Wang Ye hesitated and stepped forward: "Your Highness, this thief is stalling for time. We can't afford to wait. There are thousands of people in the Jin Kingdom's rear army not far from here. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid something might happen if we go down."
Wang Ye's words suddenly woke up Guan Cheng.
"I almost fell into this guy's trick."
Wang Ye did not lower his voice when he spoke, so Du Tan and Guan Tan could hear clearly. Guan Tan said urgently: "Brother, please leave me alone and leave quickly!"
But how could Guan Cheng allow himself to leave because of the pain in his heart? His long-lost sister still had the shadow of his long-dead mother between her eyebrows, so how could he give up so easily.
At this time, there was a noise, and a group of soldiers came escorting a group of prisoners.
"Come to the front, everyone!" Guan Cheng shouted angrily.
Soon twenty-one Jin soldiers were divided into three rows and knelt in front of Du Tan.
Guan Cheng held a long sword and said coldly: "Du Tan, Gu Jing is your savior. I will give you another chance to let Gu's sister go. I will let you leave!"
After seeing the determination on Du Tan's face, Guan Cheng no longer hesitated. He aimed the long sword in his hand and slashed down the neck of a prisoner. Suddenly Dou Da's head fell to the ground and rolled around a few times.
His eyes were fixed on Du Tan, and his desire and fear before death were frozen in that moment.
Du Tan closed his eyes in pain. These people were his subordinates, life and death subordinates. How could he remain indifferent now that they were being slaughtered.
But for Liu Dong, the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the future of the Jin Kingdom, he could not compromise and could only close his eyes.
"Let it go or not!"
At this time, Guan Cheng seemed to be in a state of madness. His sword was covered in blood, and he could not block the cold air.
Another one, and the remaining prisoners were kneeling on the ground, struggling and twisting uneasily under the hold of the Jin army.
"Okay, very good, I just want to see how cold-blooded you Du Tan can be!"
"You all listen, as long as the Sima you are following can release the hostages in his hands, I will let you live and give you treasures that you can enjoy for a lifetime. But as long as he does not agree, someone will be killed every ten times. Heads on the ground!”
After Guan Cheng finished speaking, he swung the long sword in his hand and another life was lost. The remaining prisoners were horrified. There were many stubborn and unyielding people among them, but most of them were just looking for life.
"General! Please! Give me a way out!"
Many prisoners kowtowed to the ground, but Du Tan gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear, but the sword in his hand shook more and more violently.
Guan Cheng stood behind a prisoner holding a long sword. The man was shaking like chaff. He looked at Du Tan in front of him and shouted in a trembling voice: "General, I have been following you for ten years! General, I have an old mother above you." I have a young son, General, please be merciful!"
The voice stopped suddenly, and he froze on the ground with an unwilling expression, looking ahead.
Life seems worthless at this moment.
What is more terrifying than death is watching death approach you step by step.
Finally someone couldn't hold it any longer and became incontinent!
For a moment, a foul stench was heard, along with curses.
"Du Tan, I have been with you for so many years, and I have worked hard without any credit. Why on earth do you want to put me to death!"
Du Tan trembled when he heard this, and his lip was even bitten, but he still did not dare to let go. He was not sure whether Liu Dong and others were really safe. If possible, he hoped to delay it for more time. .
If the army can come, what if he dies?
Only Guan Cheng's death can be called revenge, otherwise Dajin's loss will not only be these soldiers. Once Peng and Shu know about it, the situation that has just stabilized will inevitably repeat again. There are not without strong enemies around the Jin Kingdom.
Deterrence requires strength.
But now the only one who can hold Guan Cheng back is the woman in his hand.
Wang Ye, Wu Chengju and others were also very anxious at this time. They had been delaying here for almost half an hour. Cao Ling'er had already sent someone to urge them in the camp. The longer the time went, the greater the changes.
"Your Highness, the scouts have come to report that they have found traces of Jin soldiers five miles west of the camp. There are more than a hundred people. The guards at the camp are empty. We can't wait any longer!" Wang Ye felt extremely guilty, but he still stepped forward to confront him. Guan Cheng whispered.
Guan Cheng's heart was full of hatred and he growled fiercely at Du Tan: "Du Tan, I will ask you one last time, please let me go. I swear here on the honor of the royal family that I will definitely let you and these ten people live. In addition, I can also give you a map of the mountains and rivers of the Kingdom of Jin and Liang."
Du Tan was shocked when he heard this.
There is even a map of Liang’s mountains and rivers!
All countries know that the imperial palace in Yong'an City contains the most detailed map of all nations in the world. Every mountain, river, road, city and pass has been perfected by successive emperors of Datong for hundreds of years, but it can be said that any prince They are all extremely jealous.
Unexpectedly, Guan Cheng also brought the map of the Liang Kingdom with him when he left the capital. It seems that Guan Cheng's ambitions are not small. Since there are maps of Jin and Liang, what about the maps of other countries?
These maps can even be used as artifacts for diplomatic missions. After all, maps are secrets that cannot be ignored by any country. If they are obtained by a hostile country, they will be in great trouble.
Du Tan felt even more determined when he thought of this.
This child must not be kept!
"Is what His Highness Prince Jin said true?"
Finally Du Tan spoke.
Guan Cheng nodded and said solemnly: "Gu is the prince, so what he said is naturally true."
"Okay, then I will trust His Highness King Jin for once, but I will first see the map!"
"If you let Gu's sister go, Tutu Gu will naturally send someone to deliver her."
"You! Don't force me!"
"I told you to see the map first, otherwise~" After saying this, the sword in Du Tan's hand deepened.
Seeing more blood flowing from Guan Tan's neck, Guan Cheng became even more anxious: "Okay, someone comes and gets the map of Jinliang."
"Your Highness!"
Guan Cheng turned around and shouted angrily: "Go quickly!"
At this time, Guan Tan burst into tears. Even she knew that Du Tan would definitely not let her go, but Guan Cheng kept giving in for him.
She had also seen Wang Ye's whisper to Guan Cheng just now. She was smart enough to see that the situation in front of her was not good for Guan Cheng.
No, she must not be a drag. She remembered what her grandfather whispered to her before leaving. She was the final breaker and the one destined to be sacrificed.
It must be this day and time.
She wanted to live, see her biological father, and worship her mother, but now the situation was obviously the most critical.
"Brother, I am satisfied to meet you Tan'er. If I come to the capital in the future, I will definitely say hello to you like my mother!"
After hearing this, Guan Cheng felt something bad and quickly wanted to stop him.
But Guan Tan moves faster!
With a look of determination in his eyes, he looked at Guan Cheng in front of him and smiled sadly, then turned his head sharply forward!
Blood suddenly flowed down his neck like a bursting dam.
This scene shocked everyone. Guan Cheng's outstretched hand stopped in the air, and his mouth opened wide before he could make a sound.
Guan Cheng was stunned, and Wu Chengju and others also looked stunned.
Princess, dead?
Wang Ye's mind felt like it was exploding. The princess had committed suicide!
If you choose the right path, you might be able to save the princess.
But now it's too late.
"kill!"
When Guan Cheng came back to his senses, his eyes were bloodshot and extremely terrifying.
"If Du Tan lives, the rest will be killed!"
An ordinary man is so angry that his blood splatters five steps, and an emperor is so angry that he lays down a million corpses!
At this time, Guan Cheng was like a fierce god, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura that made people feel frightened to see him.
Wang Ye was the first to come to his senses, and the long sword in his hand came out with hatred, but there was one person who was faster than him, and that was Guan Cheng.
The long sword radiated cold light, piercing Du Tan in front of him like lightning, and the latter also raised his sword, but his eyes were filled with the will to die.
"Da Jin Wannian! Kill!"
If he could kill Guan Cheng, he would be done with it once and for all. From the moment Du Tan stayed, he knew that he would definitely die, but he had a life in his hands that belonged to the princess. If he could find another prince, even if he was the king, he would be the princess. Death in this nameless place must be spectacular.
Even a small country has heroes and heroes, and today we are sacrificing our lives to serve our country!
