Chapter 590: A Gentleman Can Be Killed, Not Humiliated
"Master, Prince Heng is already heading towards the city gate."
Xu Yan stood in front of Xu Wuyan and whispered, "And he brought quite a few people with him."
Xu Wuyan opened his eyes and stood up.
His voice was hoarse. "Follow the plan. Remember what I said."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wuyan immediately turned around and walked towards the city gate.
If he did not appear at the city gate, King Heng would definitely be suspicious due to his suspicious nature.
"Master, you must take care of yourself." Xu Yan said seriously:
"Young Madam and the others are waiting for you to come back."
Xu Wuyan nodded, "Yeah!"
Soon his figure disappeared into the darkness, and Xu Yan ran in other directions to meet up with others.
When Xu Wuyan appeared again, he was already near the gate of Kangping City.
The entrance to Kangping City, shrouded in darkness, looked like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, ready to devour everything in the world.
Tonight, it is a little too quiet, only the cold wind blowing past brings the roar of the night.
Xu Wuyan looked at the wooden cage hanging in the middle of the city wall with cold eyes, and a hint of bloodthirsty sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
King Heng.
A little unknown person who was ignored by everyone, ended up falling flat on his face and causing loss of many lives.
"Master!"
Xu Nan and his men appeared behind Xu Wuyan. When his eyes fell on the tall city wall, his eyes turned cold and the corners of his mouth tightened.
They all deserve to die.
Not only did they break Xu Hai's limbs, but they also locked him in a wooden cage as bait to lure them all out.
If it were summer, the seriously injured Xu Hai might still have a chance of survival.
But it is the coldest time of the year now. If Xu Hai, who was already seriously injured, was left outdoors in the cold for three days, there would be no way he could hold on.
But even if Xu Hai died, they would take his body back and bury him properly.
Xu Wuyan looked at them and said, "Get ready to act.
Remember, delay is the key, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, do you understand?"
Xu Nan frowned. Shouldn't saving people be done quickly and decisively?
Why did the young master do the opposite and delay?
But out of trust in him, Xu Nan nodded and turned to make arrangements.
After Xu Nan and others took their positions, Xu Wuyan immediately gave the signal to attack.
As soon as Xu Nan and others appeared, all of King Heng's men who were lying in ambush around them rushed out at once.
The two sides immediately started fighting.
Xu Nan and others just need to focus on dodging, and look for opportunities to take the opponent's life after ensuring their own safety.
Despite this, the fight was still intense.
The sounds of fighting and wailing became the main tone of the night.
These sounds frightened the eight soldiers guarding the city and made them tremble with fear:
"What bad luck! Why did the fight break out while I was on guard? I was scared to death."
"Stop talking, let's pretend we didn't hear anything. There's so much fighting going on outside, if we go out we'll definitely be dead."
"Yes, we know nothing."
…
Following the smell of blood, Xu Wuyan walked out of the darkness.
Then he looked up towards the city wall.
At this time, King Heng happened to appear on the city wall.
Looking at all the people fighting outside the city wall, King Heng's smile became even brighter.
Xu Wuyan, he appeared.
but……
Seeing that his side had twice as many people as the other side but was unable to defeat the other side, a look of embarrassment flashed across King Heng's face.
These guys are more likely to cause trouble than to do anything else.
His eyes were fixed gloomily on Xu Wuyan, who was lying motionless in the crowd below.
King Heng moved a few steps to the left without any hesitation.
He took out his dagger, which fell on the thick rope that hung the wooden cage, and said:
"Prince Xu, you'd better tell your men to stop.
Otherwise, if I strike you with this knife, you will be left with a body torn into pieces."
At this time, many torches had been lit around the tall city walls.
The torch dispelled the darkness of this world, but also exposed the ugly side of human beings to the world.
Xu Wuyan said, "Come back!"
With just two gentle words, Xu Nan and the others immediately retreated behind Xu Wuyan, staring at the opposite side with vigilant eyes.
King Heng's men stood in front of the city gate, and many of them were injured.
Xu Wuyan looked towards the city wall expressionlessly, "Prince Heng, release Xu Hai."
"Let him go?" King Heng asked with a smile.
Finally, he said nonchalantly, "If you want me to let him go, fine.
I have only one request: bring your people to me, accept me as your master, and become my servants, and I will let him go. How do you do that?
"You? Are you worthy?" Xu Wuyan gave him a mocking look:
"I've been right under your nose for almost ten days, and you haven't been able to catch me.
You are like this, and you still want me to submit to you? You are dreaming!
I'm sorry, but you're too powerful for me to serve you."
A self-righteous idiot wants me to recognize him as my master. I really don’t know what’s wrong with his brain?
And are the people around him all idiots?
Do you really think that he can do whatever he wants outside by placing a substitute in the capital?
There was a hint of mockery and innocence in Xu Wuyan's eyes.
Given the emperor's suspicious nature, once the affairs of Kangning City were recorded in the memorial, all his years of preparation would be in vain.
Prince Heng, this idiot, does he really think everyone is a fool?
Or is it that he has been praised too highly over the years?
That’s not right!
Prince Heng has been silent for so many years, he must be a person who is extremely good at forbearance.
But the one in front of me is obviously very easily angered, so...
Xu Wuyan narrowed his eyes dangerously. Could it be that the person in front of him was the substitute?
Prince Heng's expression changed.
He stared at Xu Wuyan with a cold expression, "So you don't want his life anymore?
He risked his life to save you and led you out of the encirclement. Are you sure you don't care about his life or death?"
Xu Wuyan glanced at the wooden cage and shook his head:
“You’ve been hanging him here for three days, do you think he’s still alive?
Now that he's dead, do you think I still have any concerns?
When he dies, I will take your head to his grave to offer sacrifices."
Prince Heng frowned, he always felt that Xu Wuyan was a little strange.
He is so calm.
His calmness made him feel a little uneasy.
"Who told you he was dead?" King Heng cast aside his doubts and reached out to shake the rope vigorously.
The wooden cage hanging in the middle began to shake.
The person in the wooden cage let out a low groan.
Xu Nan on the side looked at Xu Wuyan excitedly, "Master, Xu Hai is not dead yet, he is still alive."
"Hmm." Xu Wuyan made a single nasal sound, and no one could understand the look in his eyes.
King Heng, standing on the city wall, looked at Xu Wuyan with a smug look:
“You heard it now, the person is not dead.
If you don't want him to die, surrender and acknowledge me as your Lord.
Otherwise, if I cut it with the dagger in my hand, the wooden cage will fall down.
If he falls, he will undoubtedly die, and his death will be extremely miserable."
Xu Wuyan didn't say anything.
When King Heng saw that he didn't say anything, he thought that he couldn't make up his mind and was wavering.
I couldn't help but laugh at him:
“Everyone says that the Xu family of Anping Palace is the most loyal and will never abandon anyone around them.
Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. You are unwilling to become someone else's slave for a servant. You Xu family members are nothing more than that, deceiving the world and stealing reputations."
As he said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Wuyan raised his head and looked at King Heng expressionlessly, "Are you done?"
Prince Heng stopped laughing and looked down at him condescendingly, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want to save him?"
As he spoke, he played with the dagger in his hand, making a naked threat.
Xu Wuyan glanced at the wooden cage and said, "Xu Hai, I must save him."
"If you want to save him, then kneel down and acknowledge me as your master. It's that simple." King Heng was proud.
Thinking that the former number one man in the capital was now a dog in his hands, Prince Heng's mood couldn't be better.
Xu Wuyan glanced behind him, and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"Are you sure you'll let Xu Hai go if I kneel?"
Xu Nan on the side nervously shook his head, "Master, please don't!
If Xu Hai knew, he would rather die than let you suffer this humiliation, so don't kneel."
"Master, please don't kneel!"
Others spoke up to stop him.
At the same time, when he looked at Prince Heng, there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes. Prince Heng clearly wanted to humiliate the young master on purpose.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.
Anyone who humiliates their young master deserves to die!
Prince Heng laughed, "Xu Wuyan, your people are quite protective of you. Are you sure you don't want to save someone so loyal to you?"
"If I don't protect me, how can I protect you, a traitor?" Xu Wuyan gave him a mocking look.
"Don't you want his life?" King Heng was angry. He slashed the rope with the dagger in his hand, and the thick rope was cut in half in an instant.
The wooden cage hanging in the middle shook for a moment, and then there was no movement.
Xu Nan and others were nervous, fearing that the wooden cage would fall.
Seeing Xu Nan and the others becoming nervous, King Heng became even more proud:
"Xu Wuyan, will you kneel down and acknowledge me as your master?"
"What do you think?" Xu Wuyan looked at the clown, Prince Heng, with a half-smile, and adjusted the hem of his clothes. "Then you better stand still!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Heng subconsciously stood up straight.
I heard that as long as the Xu family supports you, the throne will be easy to obtain. Have you finally got the support of the Xu family now?
King Heng looked at Xu Wuyan excitedly, expecting him to kneel down to him.
As soon as he knelt, the Xu family's integrity was completely gone.
But the next second.
"withdraw!"
Xu Wuyan led his men to retreat quickly without hesitation.
Prince Heng, who was waiting for him to kneel, was stunned.
What kind of operation is this!
Prince Heng came back to his senses from his daze, and looking at Xu Wuyan running further and further away, he roared, "Come on, chase him!"
At this moment, his men came running towards him breathlessly from the direction of the city wall stairs.
"Master, something bad has happened!"
