Chapter 543 Pierced by a Thousand Arrows, Father and Son Die Together!
Before Li Qingluo could speak, Que'er couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Oh, so you're still trying to act tough at a time like this? Thank you."
"If we hadn't been left with the Seventh Princess, our young lady would have escaped long ago."
"Now that you're asking for a favor, you should be more polite!"
"They'll hold us accountable afterward. Let's see if we survive tonight until then!"
"Furthermore, it is your princess who has always owed our young lady a favor, and now we should be the ones to express our gratitude to you, right?"
"When you ask someone for a favor, you should have the right attitude!"
The seventh princess looked embarrassed.
As a princess, she must have never experienced such embarrassment and humiliation.
In their haste, the palace maids and nannies around her actually knelt down before Que'er and Li Qingluo.
"Please, please save our Highness! We were wrong just now, we beg your forgiveness!"
As they spoke, the palace maids and nannies began to kowtow.
Li Qingluo leaped down and pushed the Seventh Princess onto his back.
"Alright."
“I would never have abandoned Her Highness. I went up there first just to check the terrain and see if you could stand on it.”
"Hold on tight."
After saying that, she turned around and quickly climbed up the artificial hill.
The seventh princess screamed repeatedly. Before she could even get her footing on the artificial hill, two more princesses appeared below.
"Please save us, please save us too!"
Li Qingluo looked at Jinhua and Alan, and after the three of them exchanged a glance, they all went down to rescue people.
Not only the master, but also many palace maids were brought up to the artificial hill.
Before long, the artificial hill was covered with people.
When Marquis Wu of Wei arrived, he found that everyone had fled to the artificial hill. Since he had no intention of causing trouble for a group of women, he quickly gave up on the area.
He drew his sword and charged at the princes.
"Your Zongzheng clan wants to force our Marquis of Wei's household to its death; you'll end up the same way anyway—"
Over the years, Marquis Wu of Wei had long since become a pawn of the Chu Emperor.
When his eldest daughter was betrothed to the fourth prince, he was forced to board the fourth prince's ship.
But he remained loyal to the emperor and loved his country, and only wanted to guard the border.
He did not want the entire Marquis's mansion to participate in the struggle for the throne.
However, Zongzheng Wuxie was ambitious.
Marquis Wu of Wei had long seen that the Chu Emperor truly wanted to train the Crown Prince.
No matter how much Zongzheng Wuxie does, he may still just be a thief in the future!
And because of the Fourth Prince's wife, their Wei Wuhou family will become traitors!
At that time, Marquis Wu of Wei understood that he either had to help the fourth prince fight his way out, or he could only wait for the day when the fourth prince was defeated and his entire household perished.
But how could he accept that?
He served two emperors and made great contributions to the war against Chu. Doesn't he deserve a little leniency from the Chu emperor?
Just now, the Fourth Prince was about to fall from power because of witchcraft, and he himself was ruthlessly captured on the spot by the Chu Emperor.
That's why Marquis Wu of Wei and his son were so enraged that they launched a counterattack, wanting to make a desperate last stand for their entire family.
If the father and son cannot break through the encirclement today, the entire Marquis of Wei's mansion will surely be wiped out!
Upon thinking of this, Marquis Wu of Wei, overcome with grief, lifted the second prince by the neck and raised his sword to cut him down.
Seeing this, the Chu Emperor, his eyes red, pointed at Marquis Wu of Wei: "Marquis Wu of Wei, how dare you!! If you dare to lay a hand on him, I will make sure your entire Marquis Wu of Wei is reduced to ashes!!"
With a thud, Duan Rongshi also knocked the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei to the ground.
When Marquis Wu of Wei saw that this valiant cavalry general possessed such skill, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Hahaha--"
"No wonder you took us down without any mercy."
"It turns out that another brilliant general has emerged from among our ranks."
“But young man, if Zongzheng Langri treats us father and son this way today, he will treat you the same way in the future.”
Duan Rongshi pointed his sword at the neck of the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei and said coldly, "Enough with the nonsense. You've lost."
Marquis Wu of Wei: "Loss?"
"If you dare kill my son, I will kill the Second Prince!"
"Your Majesty, you wouldn't abandon even your own son, would you?"
The Chu Emperor was so angry that the flesh on his face trembled uncontrollably.
"Marquis Wu of Wei, how dare you threaten me—"
"Guards, shoot him dead! I want him to be a bloody hole! Kill him!!"
Second Prince: "Father, save your son—"
However, the Chu emperor had no intention of caring about his son's life; he hated even more that Marquis Wu of Wei dared to threaten him like that!
With a wave of his hand, dozens of Imperial Guards appeared behind him, ready for battle.
Upon seeing this scene, the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei, lying on the ground, turned deathly pale.
It turns out that all of this was indeed part of the tyrant's scheme!
Even if Li Wu hadn't shown up, I probably wouldn't have been able to kill him anyway...
Regardless of whether he had planned this all along, this tyrant is determined to force the father and son to their deaths on this Snow-Treading Terrace today!
"No……"
"Father—hurry up—"
The heir of Marquis Wu of Wei turned around, and amidst a mournful roar, the arrows behind the Emperor of Chu transformed into a rain of arrows, all shooting towards Marquis Wu of Wei.
Marquis Wu of Wei held onto the second prince tightly, and even if he jumped into the wine pool, he would be shot into a pincushion in an instant, with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
He lay in the wine pool, his body covered in arrows like a thicket of thorns.
The ruthless Emperor of Chu turned this general, who had once risked his life to protect the entire Chu Dynasty, into a corpse soaking in a pool of wine.
He and his second son died with their eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.
The heir of Marquis Wu of Wei roared like a madman.
"No--!!"
Duan Rongshi kicked him in the head, sending him crashing down the steps.
Standing on the steps, Duan Rongshi looked up towards the direction of the artificial hill.
Although he didn't say anything, Li Qingluo, who had been watching this side, suddenly understood his thoughts.
She deftly raised her hand and pulled her sleeve, the hidden arrow slicing through the darkness and piercing the chest of the Wei Wuhou heir who had just gotten up.
The heir of Marquis Wu of Wei stared wide-eyed, looking down in disbelief at the blood flowing from his chest.
Duan Rongshi quickly stepped forward and struck him into the wine pool with a palm strike.
Soon, the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei also fell silent.
Duan Rongshi slung his sword behind his back and turned to report to the Chu Emperor: "Your Majesty, the traitors Marquis Wei and his son have been executed on the spot. I request Your Majesty to make the final decision."
The Chu Emperor decreed: "Hang the corpses of Marquis Wu of Wei and his son at the west gate of the city and leave them exposed for three days to the public. Execute the entire Marquis Wu of Wei's household!"
"To exterminate nine generations of one's family."
"The Fourth Prince need not come to see me again."
"Imprison him in the Heavenly Prison for life—and never let him step out again!"
The Empress and the Crown Prince couldn't stop smiling.
However, Jinhua looked disappointed when she heard the result.
Li Qingluo: "Don't rush, we just need one last spark."
Although the witchcraft was a scheme devised by him and Jinhua.
But the incident caused by the father and son of the Marquis of Wei Wu was something Li Qingluo had never expected.
Now, having completely imprisoned Zong Zheng Wuxie in the Heavenly Prison is an unexpected bonus tonight.
She also felt sorry for the Marquis of Wei's mansion.
Although he was a man of the Great Chu, he was a loyal and patriotic soldier who guarded the borders and defended the country for decades, yet he ended up like this.
He only hoped that his arrow just now would not betray the deep meaning in Duan Rongshi's gaze when he looked at him.
