"No more fighting, let's rest!"
Ye Zixiao plopped down on the steps.
"Are you not injured?"
Seeing him covered in blood, Tang Keke was genuinely worried. But she overlooked her own wound, a stray bullet had coincidentally struck her shoulder.
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"Me? It's nothing!"
"I didn't expect it, and I can't understand it?"
"What?"
"You, a female entrepreneur, turned out to be a Valkyrie, following me into battle? Miss Tang, you absolutely didn't have to. I don't need you to protect me."
"I, must protect you."
"Why?"
"Because..."
"Report, Commander!"
Just as Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke were talking, Leng Shao suddenly rushed over. His sudden shout startled both Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke.
"Are you crazy?"
Ye Zixiao glared at Leng Shao.
Leng Shao stood ramrod straight, shouting with a comical yet serious demeanor, "Report, Commander-in-Chief! Rebel leaders Chu Feng and Li Yan have been captured by my troops. Bring them here!"
Old Wei and Little Bao, those two cheap battalion commanders, swaggered over, dragging Chu Feng and Li Yan, one by one, and threw them in front of Ye Zixiao.
"What the hell is this?"
Ye Zixiao exclaimed dramatically.
"Not dead yet."
"Still breathing."
"Please, Commander-in-Chief, decide their fate."
A regimental commander and two battalion commanders, looking official, saluted and spoke, followed by a group of ruffian soldiers, all looking proud and as if they had accomplished a great feat.
"Heh, interesting!"
Tang Keke smiled faintly.
"Not bad, well done."
Ye Zixiao didn't even glance at the ghastly Chu Feng and Li Yan. He directly ordered, "Drag these two dogs up and let Chu Nantian, who's attacking, see. Damn it, this is the price for showing off to me."
"Yes!"
"Bring them up, bring them up."
"Drag them to the front, prop them up."
The so-called officers shouted with excitement.
Soon.
The battered and unrecognizable Commander and Mayor, like dead dogs, were dragged to the space between the two armies, and then onto the roof of a mobile home. Each was propped up by a person, forcing them to stand.
"Chu Nantian!"
Leng Shao stood on the roof of the vehicle, unafraid of sniper fire from the opposing side, and shouted, "All of you, look clearly! This is the price for showing off to Commander Ye, and this is the fate of traitors."
The battle ground to a halt!
The bearded team retreated, falling back to Ye Zixiao's vicinity. Their mission was not only to fight but also to ensure Ye Zixiao's safety.
"Boss, hello!"
The bearded man bowed to Ye Zixiao.
"Brother, you've worked hard."
Ye Zixiao smiled and offered the bearded man a cigarette.
"I dare not!"
"No need for 'dare not.' We are all brothers. Your men are very brave. They are indeed the best of the best. I will put in a good word for you and wish you promotions and prosperity, hahaha."
"Thank you, boss!"
The bearded man saluted excitedly.
"Here."
Ye Zixiao tossed the cigarette to him.
This was considered a reward.
On the opposite side, the special forces of the Chu and Xiao families, numbering less than four hundred in total, had more people fleeing than killed. Most soldiers did not want to bear the charge of treason.
"What is that?"
"Is that Commander Chu?"
"And Mayor Li!"
"It's over, everything is over!"
"Dad—"
Seeing the Commander and Mayor beaten into unrecognizable states, the rebel forces completely collapsed. With both their top leaders captured, what was the point of fighting? If they didn't run now, they would be shot.
"Run!"
Chu Nantian was the first to turn and flee.
Yes.
The son had directly abandoned his father.
"Damn it, let's run!"
"Brothers, let's escape!"
"What rotten luck!"
When the soldiers saw Chu Nantian running, they would be fools not to run. Although it was highly likely they couldn't escape the city, no one wanted to wait for death!
Whoosh—
The rebel army scattered!
Inside Sihai Manor...
The unfilial son, Chu Nantian, along with more than a dozen loyal confidantes, was fleeing towards a small exit. As long as they got through that door, they would have a chance to survive.
At this moment, Chu Nantian still didn't know that the North Pass had been lost. He still believed that the Chu family controlled Beihai City. Once they escaped Sihai Manor, they wouldn't be easily pursued.
Then they could call for reinforcements.
And maybe even counterattack.
"First love, where are you going?"
Just as Chu Nantian was about to leave the door,
A woman's voice suddenly rang out?
