EXECUTION 5

Yunnan people just watched in silence. Even when Xie Wang laughed happily as he saw Zhu Su was gasping in the water.

"That Ming Prince has died! Victory is on Yuan's side!" He cheered happily.

But none of the Yunnan people responded to his cheers. Instead, they were now whispering in a nervous manner.

"Something wrong happens with Yunnan people, my Lord," Rumilie said slowly.

"No, no... all is well! They are just afraid to see the greatness of our nation Yuan and they are scared witless."

"Really?..."

"One hundred percent!" Xie Wang nodded, full of confidence.

Meanwhile, Wu Qi, who had been busy in discussing something very seriously with several soldiers, now nodded his head.

"This time!" He shouted.

They jumped so high and pointed their swords towards their enemy, shouted aloud, "Damn Turgen! It's our revenge for what you have done towards our lord!"

"Huh!" Xie Wang did not expect that Wu Qi would dare to attack him at this time. Xie Wang's soldiers came forward to protect their master. "Stupid subordinates! With only such little power you dare to challenge me! It seems that you also want to be soaked to death together with your lord!"

Xie Wang was correct. Wu Qi had only five cronies with him, while Xie Wang's army was in hundreds. Wu Qi had no chance of winning.

"Where's Mu Ying anyway?! That coward has run away because he knows that he won't be able to fight me?! So, he just let these stupid brats sacrifice their lives with their lord?! Haha, that selfish guy turns out to be afraid of death!"

"Who is afraid of death, Turgen?!"

Xie Wang looked up. His eyes went huge. And, his mouth also slightly opened, since he was so shocked as he watched the occurrence before him.

Accompanied by a large number of soldiers whose amounts were far more than Xie Wang's army, Mu Ying was now standing on the hill. Yet it was not the most surprising scene for Xie Wang. What totally surprised him was, the figure of an old man standing in the front row of the army.

"You... Zhu Yuanzhang..."

Wearing the golden imperial armor, the Hongwu Emperor was now glaring at Xie Wang, eyes were full of anger.

"Where is my son?" The emperor's voice was hoarse and low, yet filled with great threats.

Xie Wang forced a smile. "Huh! Your son has died, drowned in that tank!"

The old emperor gritted his teeth. He nodded to his soldiers, who immediately jumped into the tank.

Xie Wang's soldiers indeed tried to fight them. But their opponents would not be selected as imperial soldiers if they could be easily defeated. In fact, they only needed to ambush one or two punches to knock down Xie Wang's soldiers. They also responded in a flash, just a few moments and they had lifted Zhu Su from the tank, thus untied him.

Mu Ying yelled sharply. "Former Yuan Prince! How dare you kidnap and even try to kill the son of the emperor! You have angered Heaven! Now, it's time for Heaven to punish you!" He raised his sword. "All Ming soldiers! Pound and destroy these vandals, don't let even for a rat left lives!"

The whole Ming soldiers immediately ran down the hill, attacking Xie Wang.

Not only lost in amount, Xie Wang's soldiers were also far lost in military skill. It only took a few moments and there had been many soldiers from Xie Wang's side who had been lying on the ground, dead. Xie Wang himself, his attacking position had turned to defending position, shortly after, his position had turned again, to be ready to run away.

On the other hand, Yunnan people who were initially silent, now involved in the fight actively - they joined in attacking Xie Wang. Apparently, they had harbored anger because of living in the shadow of anxiety waged by Xie Wang. Zhu Su's ability to reveal Xie Wang's tricks gave them hope to escape that shadow of anxiety, unfortunately, that hope soon vanished since Xie Wang managed to capture Zhu Su. From the beginning they wanted to stand up for Zhu Su, sadly they were helpless in fighting against Xie Wang. But it was totally different now as the soldiers from the capital had come and intervened. Straightly they joined the soldiers to attack Xie Wang.

Xie Wang had been so near to defeat. He could only continue to defend even though he was more and more oppressed.
