Chapter 1494: Chapter 1498: The Legendary Team
The men are still the same, but now their demeanor is much more formidable than those soldiers locked in battle.
“Protect the emperor, slay the traitors, kill…”
Everyone was stunned by this sudden appearance of commoners.
How could these be ordinary citizens? They were far more ruthless at killing than these soldiers, almost like a specially trained elite force.
With the Red Lotus Army joining, Xiao Jinfei’s troops immediately felt the pressure lessen significantly.
They were headed to protect the emperor, and Xiao Jinfei’s people were also breaking through toward the Imperial Palace, so their objectives did not conflict.
Instead, the ones trying to stop them became the enemy of this force.
“Who are these people?” Xiao Jinfei asked in astonishment.
“No idea, but they seem like the city commoners, hey, isn’t that Boss Niu?” Xiao Jinyan exclaimed loudly.
“City commoners?” Xiao Jinfei mused thoughtfully.
Xiao Jinyan laughed heartily, “Haha, have the commoners finally had enough? Big brother, look, they’re here to help us!”
Ordinary citizens? People who looked like citizens, yet somehow didn’t.
Jin Tianyuan hid in a restaurant, looked at the situation outside through the cracks in the windows, and angrily said, “Who are these people?”
These ferocious individuals all seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Those below replied, “They are just the commoners of the city!”
“Common people? Have you ever seen common people more ferocious than soldiers?”
The shopkeeper glanced over, saying, “General, they really are the people of the city, look, isn’t that the owner of the Satin Store?”
“Oh dear, there’s even the Bun Shop owner!”
“And that one, the tailor from the clothing store!”
Jin Tianyuan’s face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Though he grew up following his father in the Beiping Army Camp, he returned to Beijing every year, but he had no idea that the people of Beijing could be like this?
Even a tailor could take up a knife and kill, how was this battle still to be fought?
But suddenly, he thought of something and abruptly gasped.
He stood back up excitedly, pushing open the window.
“It’s them, it’s them!” he muttered.
Jin Tianyuan’s soldiers pulled him back inside, shutting the window tight, “Great General, be careful!”
“Who are they?”
Jin Tianyuan collapsed into a chair, saying, “It’s them, the fifty thousand Red Lotus Army in the emperor’s hand.” He exclaimed with wide eyes, “Yes, that red lotus in the sky just now, it is the Red Lotus Army. Grandfather searched everywhere for that fifty thousand Red Lotus Army, but in vain. So all along… they were in Beijing all along, hidden among the ordinary people.”
“Or rather, maybe they actually are just these common city people. Well done, Jin Moning, Jin Moning…”
Jin Tianyuan looked ashen!
His subordinates hurried to console him, “Great General, don’t fret, as long as King Jin becomes the Crown Prince, becomes the emperor, we won’t fear these fifty thousand Red Lotus Army!”
“Really?”
But just as he finished speaking, the window suddenly shattered into pieces, and in the next second, a bright red dagger was already at Jin Tianyuan’s throat.
The speed was too fast, and despite his extensive battlefield experience, Jin Tianyuan found himself completely powerless, already at the mercy of the enemy.
Consequently, a torrent of murderous intent engulfed them, shocking even those who had witnessed countless bloody battlefields!
“Jin Zijin?”
Jin Moning executed a perfect strategy. Without the ruthless decision of sending Jin Zijin to the Dao Family back then, how could such unparalleled skills that ordinary people only dreamed of have been honed?
