The sky changed rapidly. Just moments ago, it was a clear, azure sky, but suddenly a light rain began to fall. The raindrops, like willow catkins fluttering in the wind, drifted and fell to the ground, stirring up gusts of cold wind that rustled along with the rain, turning the battlefield into a misty, hazy expanse.
Before Yu Qianqian could even pick up her mask again, the enemy soldiers around her attacked like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey. She brandished her long sword, her slender figure flashing swiftly through the chaos. Her long black hair, accompanied by countless sharp blades, drifted like smoke. In everyone's eyes, she truly resembled a divine phoenix ready to take flight and dance.
Su Yu remained rooted to the spot. When he finally saw Yu Qianqian's face, he was stunned and at a loss for words. He never imagined that their reunion would take place on the battlefield between the two countries.
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly composed himself and shouted sternly at his soldiers, "Listen up, all of you! Stop right now! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on her will pay double!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately stopped their movements, and the shouts and clanging of blades ceased instantly.
At that very moment, several fierce voices came from the rulers of the seven kingdoms.
"We've spent so much time and effort, making so many sacrifices, to conquer the Northern You Kingdom. Why should you just stop when you say so?"
"Exactly, why should we give up this great opportunity for a woman who doesn't care about us?"
"It's truly laughable that the ruler of a nation is so sentimental! Everyone says that the new emperor of Jianglan Kingdom is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and possesses extraordinary talent and knowledge. But now it seems that he's nothing special. In my opinion... shouldn't we consider choosing someone else to lead these eight kingdoms?"
As Su Yu turned around to face the other seven monarchs, a cold smile slowly appeared on his handsome face.
"Have you, my lords, forgotten how you used to fawn over our Jiang Lan Kingdom when you made such outrageous remarks?"
Upon hearing this, all the kings remained silent and lowered their heads deeply.
"To put it bluntly, regardless of the outcome of today's battle, our Jianglan Kingdom is the sole main force, while your subordinates are merely icing on the cake. If we hadn't contributed today, the Beiyou Kingdom would have suffered the same fate as the other kingdoms." Su Yu glanced coldly at the other party, his eyes revealing a rare contempt, his demeanor exuding the majesty reserved for emperors.
Does anyone still have objections to my decision?
"..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu had already turned his gaze to Yu Qianqian. Looking at Yu Qianqian, who had escaped the encirclement, he took a deep breath with a sense of relief.
"Achen... I've come to take you home." Yu Qianqian's eyes sparkled with a bright light as she met Mu Beichen's gaze. Her slender figure swiftly passed through the flying sand and mist, running forward with incredible speed.
Mu Beichen was overjoyed and ran towards him with all his might. Just as the figure was about to approach him, in his haste, he almost completely forgot about the perilous situation he was in. Unexpectedly, just as Yu Qianqian's hands were about to grasp his, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere and shot straight through her from behind!
"Yu Qianqian!"
"Ah Jin!"
"Emperor's sister-in-law..."
Upon witnessing this shocking scene, Mu Beichen, Su Yu, and Mu Zixuan all stared at Yu Qianqian in astonishment, and shouts suddenly rang out amidst the howling wind!
