In the evening, the sky is gradually dyed red by the setting sun, and the afterglow is sprinkled on the earth, giving people a feeling of tranquility and mystery.
At this moment, an eagle flew in from afar and landed on Luo Lingyue's shoulder. It brought important news: Xiao Jingyi had noticed something was wrong and was preparing to go to the Nanyi military camp.
After reading this news, Luo Lingyue's eyes flashed with determination. She turned to look at Xiao Jinghan beside her and said firmly, "Du Zhong and the Black Hawk team are no match for Xiao Jingyi. If he is allowed to reach the military camp, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, I have decided to go there myself and bring him to justice!"
Xiao Jinghan frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure. After a moment's contemplation, he looked at Luo Lingyue with a determined gaze and said softly, "If that's the case, then let's act together. However, we can't just blindly chase after them; we must have a strategy. So, Chen Zheng, you take Uncle Shen and head ahead to the Nanyi military camp. We'll set a trap here and wait for Xiao Jingyi to take the bait. Once we successfully capture him, we'll rush to the camp to reunite with you!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing full well that time was running out and every second mattered. Thus, a tense and thrilling chase was about to begin...
Xiao Jingyi always felt uneasy staying in the palace.
"Why is it that it's been almost a day and there's still no news from Xiao Jinghan?" He muttered to himself with a frown.
He also found that the entire palace was very quiet, and the servants from before had become a little strange.
Xiao Jingyi felt increasingly uneasy, so he decided to go to the military camp. He called the guards and said, "Bring my horse here."
After a while, a tall and mighty black horse was led over. Xiao Jingyi jumped on the horse and slowly walked out of the palace with two teams of guards.
When passing by the door, Xiao Jingyi said to the housekeeper: "Go and tell my wife that I will stay in the military camp tonight."
The housekeeper responded respectfully, then turned and walked into the inner courtyard, asking the maid to pass the message to Liao.
When Liao heard the news, a trace of indifference and disdain appeared on her face: "Humph, it's better for him to die in the barracks! He won't be an eyesore at home."
After saying that, she continued to bury her head in her own work, as if she didn't care about Xiao Jingyi's departure.
Dadada...
The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and Xiao Jingyi's black robe rustled. Several guards followed closely behind him, and they followed his steps with solemn expressions.
"drive!"
Xiao Jingyi squeezed his horse's belly, and the steed beneath him broke into a gallop, the guards behind him also spurring their horses to catch up. Like lightning, the group sped out of Nanyi City and headed towards the military camp.
Shortly after leaving the city, Xiao Jingyi led everyone into a dense forest.
Suddenly, a strong killing intent came from all directions, making Xiao Jingyi's heart tighten. He pulled the reins, and the horse under him neighed and stopped steadily.
Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand and gestured to the guards behind him to prepare for battle.
The guards reacted quickly, drawing their weapons and looking around vigilantly.
Xiao Jingyi scanned the surrounding woods, trying to find the enemy hiding there. He knew that this murderous intent was definitely not accidental, and someone must have been lying in ambush here, waiting for his arrival.
Xiao Jingyi shouted, "Come out! Stop sneaking around!"
As he finished speaking, two white horses slowly emerged from the depths of the woods, the crisp sound of their hooves echoing in the air. Sitting on the horses were two people: Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue. Their figures appeared particularly mysterious and majestic in the moonlight.
Shang Lu and his men followed closely behind and came out!
Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly, his eyes falling on the soft sword in Xiao Jinghan's hand and the red umbrella in Luo Lingyue's hand.
He couldn't help but be shocked, a sneer curling up on his lips: "So the Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy, who are feared by the world, are actually the sickly couple of Prince Wu'an! How unexpected!"
Xiao Jinghan's eyes were icy cold, like the cold moon on a chilly night, as he stared at Xiao Jingyi silently. His voice seemed to emanate from the netherworld, cold and resolute: "If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant! However, my father was murdered by you! You have been tyrannical in this Nanyi land for many years, and countless officials have died tragically at your hands! Today, I must capture you and bring you back to vindicate those who died unjustly!"
Xiao Jingyi laughed unbridled, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain: "Humph! You're only after Nan Yi's military power! Why bother to speak so pompously! Pah!"
Xiao Jinghan stared at the man in front of him with a gloomy expression, his voice low and filled with anger: "You were originally just a beggar on the street, on the verge of starvation. If it weren't for my father bringing you back home, giving you warmth and care, and teaching you carefully, how could you have achieved what you have today and become the marshal of Nanyi? However, you turned your kindness into hatred and cruelly murdered my father!"
Xiao Jingyi's facial muscles twitched slightly, and his eyes revealed the indifference and ferocity of a demon. "Hahahaha! The grace of raising me? He, Xiao Qichen, adopted me just so that I could protect you! Because only you are qualified to inherit his throne! And what about me? In his eyes, I'm just a guard for you to use!"
Shang Lu, standing by, could no longer bear it and rushed towards Xiao Jingyi, sword in hand, shouting, "You ungrateful, conscienceless beast! Whether you were an adopted son or a guard, if it weren't for the old prince's adoption and upbringing, you would have starved to death on the streets!"
