Marry the crippled king and seize the kingdom with space!

Chapter 196: Die No More

After a crisp gunshot from Zheng Fangxing.

Li Qing only felt a sharp pain in his legs, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his nerves.

His face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

His legs went limp and he fell to his knees. His heavy body hit the ground with a dull sound.

He held his injured leg in pain, his fingers tightly grasping the clothes around the wound, as if this could relieve some of the pain.

His body was trembling slightly due to the pain, and he was crawling on the ground.

Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu walked slowly and steadily in front of him.

At this moment, Li Qing's heart was filled with fear.

He looked at the two people in front of him with a look of extreme fear in his eyes.

His lips trembled slightly and he uttered a few words with difficulty.

"Please...please let me go, I...I'm just following orders!"

"Let you go? I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it. Now... there is no such chance anymore."

Ye Zirou's voice was cold and firm, like frost in a cold night, making people shudder.

There was not a trace of sympathy in her eyes, only disgust and contempt for Li Qing.

"Yes, I was wrong. Please let me go."

Li Qing was so scared that he kept knocking his head. His forehead hit the ground again and again, making a "dong dong" sound.

His hair was scattered messily on his face, and tears and sweat mixed together, making him look disheveled.

Ye Zirou simply ignored this cowardly, timid and self-righteous person.

She frowned slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She walked right up to him and put the gun to his head.

Li Qing didn't know what she was holding in her hand, but he knew that this thing should be the terrible thing that could create a hole in those people's foreheads and cause them to die instantly.

His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and despair, his body was trembling with fear on the ground, helpless and desperate, and he kept begging Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu to let him go.

"Shut your mouth!" Ye Zirou roared.

Her voice rang in Li Qing's ears like thunder, causing him to shut his mouth instantly.

Then, Ye Zirou looked at the soldiers, her eyes revealing determination and majesty.

"Your commander has been captured. You now have two options. One is to continue to resist, then you will suffer the same fate as him. The other is to lay down your weapons and surrender. I can guarantee your safety."

She needs more soldiers, and she also needs to give them a chance to make a new choice. If they are stubborn and continue to be accomplices of the evil, she will not let them go and would rather destroy them than let them live!

The soldiers looked at each other, their hearts filled with fear and hesitation.

Some soldiers remembered Li Qing's desertion on the battlefield, and their loyalty to him collapsed instantly.

Other soldiers were worried about their fate after surrendering, wondering whether Ye Zirou would really keep her promise.

Just then, an older soldier stood up.

"We surrender." His voice was trembling but full of determination.

"The general has abandoned us. We don't want to work for him anymore. Besides, we don't want to continue this meaningless battle and die in vain."

Following the soldier's lead, more and more soldiers laid down their weapons, expressions of relief showing on their faces.

Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu looked at each other, with a look of relief in their eyes.

Li Qing knelt on the ground, looking at the scene in front of him with a dejected face. His heart felt as if it was hit hard by a heavy hammer. He realized very clearly that he had been completely defeated.

Just as Ye Zirou was talking to everyone, no one expected that a hint of ruthlessness and determination suddenly flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

With unexpected speed, he suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist.

The dagger flashed with a cold light in the sunlight. He held the dagger tightly and used all his strength to stab Ye Zirou fiercely in an attempt to make a final struggle.

However, Mo Tianyu remained highly vigilant.

At this critical moment, he reacted as fast as lightning. He quickly hugged Ye Zirou and dodged nimbly.

At the same time, he raised his foot and kicked Li Qing's knife-holding hand hard.

The kick was so powerful that it directly kicked Li Qing's hand away.

But despite this, Li Qing's surprise attack still injured Ye Zirou's arm.

A bloodstain was particularly eye-catching on Ye Zirou's fair arm, and blood was slowly seeping out.

Mo Tianyu looked at Ye Zirou's injured arm, his eyes instantly filled with anger and heartache, and his face was terribly gloomy.

"You are looking for death!" His roar exploded in the air like thunder, filled with endless anger and majesty.

Then, he picked up the gun in Ye Zirou's hand without hesitation.

He aimed steadily at Li Qing's forehead and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

There was a loud "bang" and Li Qing fell to the ground.

His body twitched violently for a few times, and then there was no movement, he was deader than dead.

Mo Tianyu's eyes were wide open as he looked around and shouted an order: "Return to the city!" His voice was full of majesty and decisiveness, and no one dared to disobey.

Then, he gently and eagerly picked up the injured Ye Zirou.

Then, he quickly mounted his horse, held Ye Zirou tightly in his arms, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the horse galloped towards the city like an arrow.

Ye Zirou's face was pale and the wound on her arm was still bleeding, but she endured the pain, not wanting to make Mo Tianyu worry too much.

Ye Zirou leaned in his broad and warm arms, looking at him affectionately and silently.

"Tianyu, I'm fine."

However, Tianyu's eyes were full of concern and anxiety.

He frowned tightly, and while steering the horse, his eyes fell on the shocking bloodstain on Ye Zirou's body, his heartache was beyond words.

"How can it be okay? You're already bleeding!"

Faced with Tianyu's nervous reaction, Ye Zirou couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.

She forced a smile, trying to look strong.

"It's just a small wound, it's really nothing serious..."

But before she could finish her words, a sharp pain came over her, making her already pale face even paler than paper.

Despite this, Ye Zirou still gritted her teeth, enduring the pain and refusing to show weakness to Tianyu.

"Rou'er, I am your husband, you are not allowed to pretend to be strong in front of me!" Tianyu looked at her with heartache, his eyes full of concern and love.

In fact, she really wasn't pretending to be strong.

She had always been used to showing off her strength, because she knew that if she wasn't strong, who would she show her weakness to? Her opponents would just keep bullying her.
