Chapter 243: Calculating Everyone Equally
As the king's triumphant laughter resounded throughout the forest, Deng Youning also sensed that more and more people were gathering around him.
The people around him were all dark and dense, and they were all his soldiers.
I don’t know how strong these Nanxin soldiers are, but just a few of them are not enough to deal with them.
"Sixth brother, can you guess how many people I brought with me?"
Si Wang felt like playing and wanted to guess riddles with them.
"I can't guess!" Li Tianzhuo replied unhappily.
The king seemed not angry, but looked playful, and answered his own question:
"I heard that my elder brother once led a thousand private soldiers to encircle and suppress the princess of the state in Dongji, but you still escaped. Today, I brought twice as many people as the thousand. Is that enough?"
"Princess Zhenguo and General Su, I know that you two are extraordinary in martial arts, and these people were specially found for you two!"
"I hope you two can stretch your muscles!"
He smiled grimly and gradually stepped back.
The Nanxin soldiers also attacked them.
Everyone dropped what they were holding and started to fight the enemy.
Only at this time did Deng Youning realize that Emperor Nan Xin's martial arts skills were so high that they were not inferior to Deng Ren or Han Qiongyue at all.
Although he is old and seriously ill, he is very powerful when fighting, and each of his moves does not feel weak.
With a left hook and a right kick, he easily took care of the two people around him.
Two more people came up and wanted to kill him, but Emperor Nan Xin dodged flexibly and pushed the two men's heads together, killing two more.
Facing a soldier with a long knife in his hand, he turned his wrist and easily took the opponent's knife for himself. Then, without anyone noticing, he slipped out of his hand and stabbed it straight into the opponent's heart. The man died before he even had time to scream.
Deng Youning and his four companions as well as Emperor Nan Xin all had special skills.
Even Li Tianzhuo, who was temporarily unable to use too much internal energy, could kill a person with one sword.
But it was not a good idea for them to continue fighting like this. After all, the number of soldiers brought by the king was too large, and they could be worn out to death even if they tried to attrition.
"Azhuo, we need to go out and seek help." Deng Youning discussed with Li Tianzhuo.
Her purpose was very clear, which was to get Li Tianzhuo out. After all, this was Nan Xin, and only he could call for help.
Li Tianzhuo hesitated.
He couldn't abandon Deng Youning and the others.
"Tian'er, you are good at Qinggong. Hurry up and take my military token and call my Suzaku Army over."
Emperor Nan Xin heard their conversation and planned to join forces with them, placing all his hopes on his sixth son.
The soldiers brought by the king are just the palace guards. Nanqin’s soldiers are not as scattered as Dongji’s. There is only one real army, which is the Suzaku Army.
As he spoke, Emperor Nan Xin had already handed the Vermillion Bird-shaped military talisman to Li Tianzhuo.
He still looked at Deng Youning with concern, walked over, and whispered in her ear:
"Ning Ning, my father is very cunning and fickle. Maybe he is still playing a trick on King Si."
"If after I leave, these imperial guards stop attacking them and only attack you, you don't have to worry about them anymore. Just take Yingshi and Xiuming and escape."
Of course, you know your father best.
Deng Youning was a little amused.
She really wanted to know if Li Tianzhuo had to use his brain every day when he was a child growing up next to Emperor Nan Xin?
"Okay, I'll take note. Go quickly and come back soon. Be careful too!"
Deng Youning felt empty inside when she thought that Li Tianzhuo would be away for a while.
With the little martial arts skills he had left, he was really afraid that this separation would be forever.
"Don't worry, I'm lucky. I've tried so many times but still failed, right?"
Li Tianzhuo talked about rebirth, which only the two of them could understand.
Deng Youning smiled bitterly, and together with Xiu Ming and Ying Shi, they fought their way out of the forest for him.
Li Tianzhuo found the right moment, leaped into the air, and almost walked directly between the treetops. His body was as agile as a flying bird, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
Si Wang was afraid that the fight here would affect him, so he hid far away early in the morning, so he didn't even notice that Li Tianzhuo had escaped.
By the time the soldier came to report that King Changle had flown away using his lightness skills, he was already out of reach.
The king looked at his thousands of imperial guards unwillingly.
These imperial soldiers are simply not as capable as the martial arts masters.
If those people who were on the top list before were here, how could they let King Changle fly away so easily?
"Take this ring and go to the Blood Moon Cult and tell them that the murderer of the Saint Girl and Senior Brother is here, Princess Dongji Zhenguo. Tell them to come and take revenge!"
Si Wang handed the ring that Xi Tong gave him before her death to a soldier and asked him to find the people from the Blood Moon Cult.
"yes."
The soldier ran away in a hurry.
Since the Blood Moon Cult was recruited, its headquarters has been set up in the Yuncheng district, which is very close to here.
Deng Youning felt that fighting was too tiring and wanted to use poison.
Seeing that Li Tianzhuo had been gone for a while and Emperor Nan Xin and General Su still hadn't made any move on him, although he felt uneasy, he still insisted on cooperating.
She threw a Hundred Poison Elixir to the two of them.
"This medicine can cure all kinds of poisons. Take it quickly."
"There are too many imperial guards. If we continue to fight, we will be exhausted to death. I will use poison and poisonous insects to deal with them."
Deng Youning explained his next battle plan to the two of them.
"You are the person His Highness trusts the most, and I also trust you."
After General Su said this, he swallowed the pill directly.
Emperor Nan Xin, however, was slow to eat.
"Can it really cure all poisons?"
His life is too precious, and what enters must be safe.
"Xiu Ming, Ying Shi."
Deng Youning also threw one at the two of them.
Although they both had medicine with them, they had no choice but to do so in order to prove their point to the emperor.
After seeing the two of them eat, Emperor Nan Xin also dared to eat.
"Don't worry, you are Ah Zhuo's most respected father. Although according to the relationship between our two countries, I shouldn't care about you, but Ah Zhuo risked his life to find reinforcements for us, and I can't abandon his father."
"Your Majesty Nan Xin, you are unkind to us, and I, Deng Youning, cannot be unjust to you."
After he finished speaking, Deng Youning took out his flute and began to play it, summoning the poisonous insects in the mountains to come to his aid.
At the same time, she also smeared all the poison powder on her body onto the flute, allowing the poison to spread along with the sound of the flute.
This method has been used before to deal with King Yi's private soldiers. If he hadn't dealt with the Blood Moon Cult in the Fahua Temple that night, his poison powder would have been very little left, and King Yi's thousand men would not be enough for him to poison!
She had enough poison powder on her today, and she saw many snakes and insects in the Fantasy Forest, so she had no shortage of help.
After hearing what Deng Youning had just said, Emperor Nan Xin felt somewhat remorseful.
This girl is indeed a good girl, no wonder Tian'er loves her so much.
But the two countries in the southeast have always been hostile to each other, and he really doesn't have the courage to marry his enemy as his daughter-in-law.
This daughter-in-law still cannot be kept!
On the surface, Emperor Nan Xin was helping Deng Youning fight against the surrounding imperial guards, allowing Deng Youning to summon poisonous insects without worry. But in fact, he was also calculating in his mind, when Tian'er's reinforcements arrived, could he use the hand of King Si to get rid of Deng Youning?
In this way, the last value of Si Wang's son can be squeezed out.
But if he couldn't get rid of Deng Youning, he wanted to get himself hurt, or use General Su to awaken the father-son love in Tian'er's heart.
If all else fails, they can target the maid and the boy and let Tian'er kill them by accident. This will inevitably cause a rift in the relationship between the young couple.
This old Deng really calculated everyone equally.
