Chapter 317: Taking Action
Xiao Yunshuo clenched the sword in his hand and moved his body to rush out.
Chen Fenghe suddenly spoke coldly, "I never thought that the dignified Prince Zhao of Beirong would even kill women and children. It's really despicable!"
Prince Zhao turned to look at her with interest, smiling, "I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so kind-hearted, so... innocent. However, in the Northern Rong, the law of the jungle prevails. Even women and children... if they become a future threat, they must be eliminated as soon as possible! If you show mercy and let them go, you'll only end up hurting yourself."
Chen Fenghe didn't expect that just one word from her could make this man feel sympathy.
Originally, she said that just to buy a little time.
At this moment, her hands hidden in her sleeves were already holding the pistol she had taken out from the space. She opened the safety bolt and pressed her finger on the trigger.
Once the Beirong soldiers took action, she planned to immediately shoot and rescue Qin Mengyue and Xiao Yunhao. Then, it would be best to take Prince Zhao hostage. Capture the prince first, so that other Beirong soldiers would not dare to act rashly.
Although Qu Wenmin was not a good person, she intuitively felt that Qu Wenmin would not harm Qin Mengyue and Xiao Yunhao, and was much safer than this Prince Zhao.
Prince Zhao finished his words, turned to look at Qu Wenmin, and said with a smile, "General Qu, my original intention was absolutely not to engage in battle with you. I simply wanted to obtain those firearms. After all, if General Qu succeeded in his campaign to 'clean up the imperial court' and became a founding hero or... the emperor, and then used these firearms against us, the Northern Rong, wouldn't that be a great injustice to us? However, if General Qu insists on provoking me today, I will have no choice but to kill the Empress, the Crown Princess, and His Highness the Ninth Prince! General Qu probably doesn't want to see the Empress... and, of course, His Highness the Ninth Prince, beheaded, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Wenmin subconsciously looked at Qin Mengyue.
Qu Wenmin hesitated, but his subordinates refused to buy it.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Who cares! Kill this damn Prince Zhao first!"
As he spoke, he swung the broadsword in his hand towards the head of one of the Beirong soldiers.
The Northern Rong soldier was caught off guard and was hit hard on the shoulder. He fell to the ground and died instantly.
"Ah!" Qin Mengyue widened her eyes in horror and quickly covered Xiao Yunhao's eyes.
After this sudden change, the two sides immediately started fighting.
Qu Wenmin's pupils contracted, and he raised his sword and stabbed at the knife of the Beirong soldier who was holding it against Qin Mengyue's neck.
However, in the chaos, the Beirong soldier was so nervous that he didn't even listen to Prince Zhao's orders, and he attacked Qin Mengyue fiercely!
"Miss!" Qu Wenmin's eyes were bloodshot and he shouted.
However, his sword was blocked by a Beirong soldier who rushed over, and it was too late to rescue him!
As for Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunhao, their situation was not much better. The Beirong soldiers who held them hostage also raised their swords high at the same time!
Upon seeing this, Prince Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly moved his body. A crescent-shaped weapon like a cold moon slipped out from his sleeve, and he approached Chen Fenghe directly!
No sooner said than done, three soft "puff puff puff" sounds were heard.
At the same time, three bone-piercing nails flew out from the bushes and penetrated deep into the throats of the three Beirong soldiers.
Then, a dark shadow arrived from behind and stabbed Prince Zhao in the back with a long sword!
This black shadow was naturally Xiao Yunshuo.
However, Xiao Yunshuo finally retracted his sword in time, and the tip of the sword only slightly pierced Prince Zhao's clothes.
Because he discovered that the person injured by the Hanyue Knife in Prince Zhao's hand was not Chen Fenghe, but the Beirong soldier who had just tried to kill Chen Fenghe!
This Prince Zhao, in order to save Feng He, actually killed his own people?
Realizing this, Xiao Yunshuo suddenly felt very unhappy.
Naturally, he would be the one to rescue his Crown Princess. Why would he need someone unrelated to rescue her?
Especially... Feng He's danger was created by this Beirong bastard!
