Chapter 498 Recovering Memory
These guards didn't recognize him, but even if they turned into ashes, Xie Lian would recognize them!
In the extreme pain, fragments of memory came flooding back like a tide.
The battlefield stained red with blood, the corpses piled up like mountains, the old horse neighing in pain in the yellow sand, and the flags fluttering in the wind.
Looking at those ugly faces, Xie Lian's eyes were bloodshot, and the terrifying murderous intent emanated from the depths of his bones as if it was free.
It was a hot summer day, but the guards felt cold all over and their palms were wet.
In a trance, they seemed to see a bloodthirsty killer crawling out from the depths of hell.
"What...what are you going to do?" The guards subconsciously took a few steps back and immediately took out daggers from their waists.
Seeing that they actually retreated, the Marquis of Xiangyang was so angry that his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
But the eyes in front of me looked so familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere.
That murderous look suddenly reminded him of someone.
Could it be him?
When he thought of this, Marquis Xiangyang immediately shuddered.
No, that's absolutely impossible!
That person was clearly dead, there was no way he could be standing here alive. Then who was this man in front of him who looked like a god of death?
"Chen Yihang, you beast!" Xie Lian grabbed his collar tightly and cursed with gritted teeth, "If I can't cut you into pieces, I will never be at peace in this life!"
Before he finished speaking, his rough big hands tightly grasped the neck of Marquis Xiangyang, increasing the strength little by little.
Marquis Xiangyang frowned in pain, feeling the air in his chest slowly draining away.
Yes, it’s him, it’s really him!
Who else but that person would hate me so much?
But why didn't he die?
Do the dog emperor and his son know about this?
No, he had to find a way to spread the news.
The guards looked at each other and immediately rushed forward.
They did not have much loyalty to the Marquis of Xiangyang.
But if he died, life wouldn't be easy for them.
Xie Lian didn't look back, but just waved his sleeves.
Before the guards could get close, they were knocked a meter away by a powerful internal force and fell heavily on the dirty ground.
When Marquis Xiangyang saw this, his heart sank.
He thought that he was really dead this time.
That’s right.
How could these few guards be a match for the battle-hardened Duke Zhenguo?
But he was unwilling!
From childhood to adulthood, he lived like a dog under the shadow of his cousin Shen Yizhou.
Even though he was the emperor's companion, no one would notice his presence as long as his cousin was around.
In terms of background, appearance, and even talent, he was far superior to his cousin.
As for the title that he had inherited, Shen Yizhou didn't want it.
Even when she married Wang Si, she would only say a few words when facing Shen Yizhou.
At that time, he secretly vowed that one day he would accomplish something great and make everyone bow down to him and worship him!
Looking at the pair of scarlet eyes in front of him, Marquis Xiangyang knew clearly that all of this would probably come to nothing.
Just die.
Several guards had already sent out carrier pigeons to inform the Third Prince of his illness.
As soon as he gets the news, the third prince will lead his men here.
That damn prince has always been worried about Lanyang City. Now that he has a suitable reason, it would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to kill all the suspicious elements.
No matter whether it was the bad girl who cast a curse on him or the resurrected Duke Zhenguo in front of him, the Third Prince would catch them all in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the dry lips of Marquis Xiangyang.
"don't want!"
At this moment, Shen Wan rushed in, followed by Xie Mubai.
As soon as he saw them, a light suddenly appeared in the dim eyes of Marquis Xiangyang.
"You can't do this." Shen Wan rushed forward and hugged Xie Lian's arm tightly. "Even though we stopped the pigeon that this bastard sent to the Third Prince, he still has a title anyway."
"If something happens to him here, wouldn't that give those people a reason to kill us?"
Everything is not ready yet, so they naturally cannot rebel.
It was precisely because of this that the Marquis of Xiangyang dared to swagger into Lanyang City.
The purpose of his trip was very simple, he just wanted to use the jade pendant to break up Shen Wan and Xie Mubai.
But he never expected that the girl not only didn't believe it, but also almost cost him her life.
Xie Lian didn't listen to Shen Wan's words.
How could he let go of the culprit who killed 100,000 soldiers at Yumen Pass?
Even if the dog emperor really sent troops to attack Lanyang City, he didn't care!
Thinking of this, he increased the strength of his rough big hands.
"Killing him would be quite satisfying." Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Xie Mubai said coldly, "But such a big thing cannot be accomplished by him alone."
"As a marquis, you rashly went to the border. Do you think that person in the court really knew nothing about it?"
"According to reliable sources, Tuoba Yu is not only in cahoots with the Marquis of Xiangyang, but also has an even closer relationship with the Third Prince."
After hearing this, Xie Lian's strong body trembled violently.
Not only him, even the Marquis of Xiangyang changed his expression.
What?
Tuoba Yu actually has contacts with the third prince?
The more he thought about the scenes along the way, the more frightened he became.
At that time, the border war was tense, and there were many checkpoints from the capital to Yumen Pass, and you had to go through more than a dozen security checks.
Although he left a substitute in the Marquis' Mansion, this matter went too smoothly.
Could it be that the dog emperor and his son had long wanted to get rid of the Duke of Zhenguo, and deliberately made him the scapegoat?
Once the truth is revealed, they can put all the blame on themselves.
I thought I had done everything perfectly, even trying to sow discord between the Third Prince and Xie Mubai. But now that I think about it, I was the stupidest one!
The guards were even more frightened.
It’s over!
Knowing such a big secret, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai will definitely kill them!
Xie Lian slowly loosened his hand and his eyes fell on the trembling guards.
"What are you going to do with these people?" he asked coldly with a gloomy face.
Just because Marquis of Xiangyang cannot move for the time being doesn’t mean he can’t move his minions.
"Hero, spare our lives!" Upon hearing this, several guards were so frightened that they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. "We swear to heaven, we will never reveal a single word of what happened today to anyone!"
How much is a swear worth?
Not to mention Xie Lian, even Shen Wan didn't believe it.
If oaths were reliable, there wouldn't be so many bad people in the world.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, but just walked forward slowly.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, and the big hand that seemed to be carved from the finest white jade fell on the head of a guard.
The guard fell to the ground with a bang without even a grunt.
When the Marquis of Xiangyang saw this, he felt his heart in his throat.
He knew clearly that even if the Xie father and son did not take action, his future life would not be easy.
