Chapter 290: Killing and Destroying the Heart
However, before she could make a move, Qin Lizheng suddenly stood up and rushed towards the Beirong people, shouting as he rushed, "Don't shoot, don't shoot! I surrender! I know where Dayu's queen and the ninth prince are! I can lead you to them!"
Qin Jian and Qin Chang were stunned for a moment when they saw this, then they quickly got up and rushed forward with Qin Lizheng: "Don't shoot!"
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Well, these people in the Qin family are able to do such a thing of selling out their country for personal gain, which makes people feel that it is justified.
However, at this time, he has to use Qin Mengyue and Xiao Yunhao as bargaining chips. He is really evil to the core!
At this time, there were several "whoosh" sounds, and arrows suddenly shot towards the three people. This time, the three people were not so lucky. They were all hit by arrows and fell to the ground one by one, bleeding profusely.
Qin Lizheng looked in horror at the Beirong people who were chattering and about to draw their bows to reload arrows. He didn't understand. He had begged for mercy and surrendered, and even agreed to lead the way for them. Why did they still want to shoot arrows to kill him?
Qin Jian and Qin Chang also didn't understand. Qin Jian groaned and asked Qin Lizheng, "Dad, why don't they listen to us?"
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Why else? Didn't you hear the Northern Rong soldiers chattering like birdsong? It's a wonder they can understand what you're saying.
This is what is called "you will suffer the consequences if you do evil."
Chen Fenghe was actually happy to see this happen. After all, this way, she wouldn't have to make up the lie that they were attacked by wolves.
The Beirong soldiers had taken aim at them again and were about to shoot arrows.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared, with a flash of cold light in his hand. In an instant, those Beirong soldiers fell to the ground and died without a sound.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but frown slightly.
She didn't expect that there would be someone to save the Qin family?
However, she soon discovered that the person who appeared to "rescue" was none other than Xiao Yunshuo!
What the hell is he up to? Why is he saving people?
Xiao Yunshuo put the sword back into the scabbard, then turned around, slowly walked in front of Qin Lizheng, and looked at him disdainfully.
Qin Lizheng was still in shock. Seeing the newcomer, he said happily, "Master Yun! Master Yun is indeed very skilled. Thank you for saving me! Quick... Master Yun, help me back quickly. Otherwise, if other Northern Rong soldiers come..."
As he spoke, he coughed twice in pain. He had been shot in the shoulder, and although the pain was unbearable, his life was not in danger.
Compared with him, Qin Jian and Qin Chang were not so lucky.
Qin Jian was hit by two arrows, one in the right chest and one in the leg. Qin Chang was hit in the stomach, but the wounds were blocked by the arrows and both of them were still alive.
Xiao Yunshuo did not move. He looked around and asked calmly, "Where is Miss Shen?"
Qin Lizheng was startled and quickly replied, "That bitch... ahem... Miss Shen... we were suddenly attacked by the Northern Rong soldiers just now. She... should be hiding somewhere. Master Yun, please don't worry about her for now. We are all seriously injured. Please, Master Yun, send us back quickly..."
Xiao Yunshuo looked at him with cold eyes and said indifferently: "That won't do. In the exile team, apart from Miss Shen, no one else knows medical skills. So, if we can't find her, even if we send you back, without anyone to treat you, you will die."
Qin Lizheng and the others turned pale upon hearing this. How could they... have forgotten about this?
Qin Jian was the most seriously injured. He coughed in pain and cried, "Master Yun, please go find that little girl... go find Madam Shen to treat us..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Fenghe had already come out from behind the tree and said loudly, "No need to look for me. I'm here."
Qin Lizheng and the others were overjoyed when they heard this: "Mrs. Shen...Mrs. Shen! You...you should come and treat our injuries quickly..."
Chen Fenghe glanced at Xiao Yunshuo and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I only heal people, not animals."
Qin Lizheng and the other two were stunned for a moment before they understood what Chen Fenghe meant. Qin Lizheng couldn't help but curse angrily, "You little bitch, what did you say? You called us beasts?"
The whip in Chen Fenghe's hand swung across his face with a whoosh, leaving a bloody mark.
She said coldly, "Watch your mouth! Aren't you quite self-aware?"
Qin Lizheng's face was extremely embarrassed, but she didn't dare to provoke Shen Fenghe at this moment, so she turned around and looked at Xiao Yunshuo pleadingly: "Mr. Yun...Mr. Yun, you are a good person, please persuade Madam Shen...I...I can let it go, but my son and nephew, they will die if they are not saved!"
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but roll his eyes again. He actually had to pretend to be a kind father at the last minute?
Xiao Yunshuo didn't move, just stared at them quietly.
Qin Lizheng felt uneasy when he was looking at him. He asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Yun...Mr. Yun, what are you...what are you waiting for? You...you hurry up..."
"Yes... yes, Master Yun, I... cough cough... it hurts so much! Please save us..." Qin Jian and Qin Chang also struggled and begged for mercy.
Xiao Yunshuo suddenly squatted down, then raised his hand and slowly took off the human skin mask on his face.
Qin Lizheng and the other two stared at the scene in a daze: "Mr. Yun...Mr. Yun...?"
However, before the last word was uttered, the three of them widened their eyes in shock and cried out incoherently: "You...you are..."
Xiao Yunshuo smiled slightly and said calmly, "Why? After not seeing you for a few days, Second Uncle and two cousins, don't you recognize me?"
The shock on Qin Lizheng's face instantly turned into a cold sweat. He pointed at Xiao Yunshuo and stuttered, "Your Highness?! Haven't you already been killed?"
Xiao Yunshuo looked down at him and said with a smile, "It's a pity that the King of Hell doesn't dare to take me in. I can only live well."
Qin Lizheng was indeed a man of quick thinking. He endured the pain from the arrow wound, suddenly got up, knelt down nimbly, and kowtowed.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince possesses the body of a true dragon, the Emperor of Man. How could those cunning little rats easily plot against him? Second Uncle... I am truly happy for Your Highness the Crown Prince! I am willing to follow His Highness until death, to help him clear his name and regain his throne!"
Qin Jian and Qin Chang also reacted, and both knelt down and kowtowed despite the severe pain: "Your Highness, we also... wish to do so."
Qin Lizheng's heart was beating fast.
He had never expected that the prince was still alive! However, even though he was now expressing his loyalty to the prince, it was only a temporary measure.
The Crown Prince's crime of treason has been proven, so how could the Emperor admit his mistake? Therefore, even if the Crown Prince was alive, he could no longer be the Crown Prince.
At the moment, he was just trying to calm the prince down temporarily. When he had the chance, he would try to report to General Qu, or even the current emperor, that the prince was still alive.
By then, even if he had made great contributions, not to mention being exempted from exile, maybe... he could even be appointed as prime minister!
Chen Fenghe: “…”
This family had been bullying Qin Mengyue all along, and wasn't it because the Crown Prince had fallen? Now they were showing their loyalty? They were truly shameless to the fullest.
However, the loyalty at this moment is probably ninety-nine percent fake.
Chen Fenghe looked at Xiao Yunshuo. He shouldn't be fooled.
Xiao Yunshuo's expression was already dull, and the smile on his lips even deepened. "If my second uncle and two cousins have such a heart, I will naturally be very pleased. If one day I can successfully return to the palace and ascend the throne, I will definitely appoint my second uncle as Prime Minister."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lizheng and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, and even couldn't help but feel happy.
If the prince really has the ability to ascend the throne, then receiving the promise of promotion and advancement will naturally make people happy!
"It's just..." Xiao Yunshuo suddenly changed the subject and said slowly, "Second uncle and cousin, aren't you afraid that I will be guilty of treason and implicate you?"
Qin Lizheng's heart tightened again. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I have wronged you. I have absolutely no such intention. I..."
"Well, if you have no such intentions, why did you dare to treat Mother, the Crown Princess, and Ninth Brother this way along the way?"
Qin Lizheng and the other two suddenly looked up, their foreheads dripping with sweat, their faces as pale as paper. "Your Highness...it's unfair! It must be that bitch...it's the Crown Princess who misunderstood..."
Xiao Yunshuo raised his eyebrows and kicked Qin Lizheng several meters away. His face was completely cold as he shouted coldly, "You daring slave! How dare you speak disrespectfully to this Crown Princess?"
Qin Lizheng's ribs were broken after being kicked. His face was twisted in pain and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "ugh" sound!
Qin Jian and Qin Chang were so frightened when they saw this that they retreated, but unfortunately they were shot by arrows and could not run away even if they wanted to.
Chen Fenghe glanced at Xiao Yunshuo quietly.
She already understood Xiao Yunshuo's intention.
He had just killed those Northern Rong soldiers, "rescued" these three people, and even promised them high-ranking officials and titles, all just to kill them and destroy their hearts.
You were dreaming of becoming rich and powerful in the last second, but faced the fear of being killed in the next second. No matter who you are, you would feel uncomfortable with this kind of gap.
"Your Highness! It's none of my business. It's all...it's all Qin Lizheng and Qin Jian's fault..." Qin Chang said tremblingly.
Xiao Yunshuo sneered, "Weren't you the one who was trying to get a piece of the pie just now, Third Cousin? Why are you changing your tune now?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yunshuo kicked Qin Jian and Qin Chang twice more, breaking several ribs of theirs.
The three rolled on the ground in pain and were about to scream when Xiao Yunshuo quickly cut their vocal cords.
The three of them looked at Xiao Yunshuo and Shen Fenghe in horror and distortion, but couldn't utter a word.
Xiao Yunshuo didn't intend to drag it out too long, otherwise it would attract other people and cause more trouble. He walked over, picked up the waist knife of one of the Beirong soldiers, and stabbed the throats of the three people cleanly and neatly.
After doing all this, he turned around and walked in front of Chen Fenghe. He looked at her and said gently, "If they ask you later, just say that you encountered Beirong soldiers. These three people were shot by arrows and were chased and killed by Beirong soldiers. You almost got caught, but luckily I arrived in time and killed them. Do you understand?"
Chen Fenghe looked at him with mixed feelings.
Judging from what he just said to Qin Lizheng, I'm afraid he has no intention of giving up the throne at all.
There is nothing wrong with this.
He was born noble, and the throne and the world originally belonged to him in his heart. Why did she think that he would abandon her and stay with her for the rest of her life?
That was just a selfish delusion that arose after she fell in love.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her cheek and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
For some reason, Chen Fenghe's body stiffened and she subconsciously stepped back slightly to avoid his hand.
Xiao Yunshuo's brows wrinkled slightly.
