Chapter 84 Kill on the spot
The sound was like that of an evil ghost that could take lives and haunt souls.
Yan Qinghao twisted his neck to look over, and saw Yan Fengxiao approaching with a knife in hand. Princess Su...
No, there was no Princess Su anymore, only a pool of blood remained...
The people behind Yan Fengxiao, whether they were from the General's Mansion or the Governor's Mansion, all had red eyes. One of them even stepped on the bag viciously several times.
The reason why everyone behaved like this was naturally because of the friction between the Northern Frontier Kingdom and the Southern Yan Kingdom over the years.
Especially the young guard from the Governor's Mansion standing in the front, the young man's eyes were full of the joy of revenge.
He spoke in a hoarse voice: "It was this woman's two brothers who led the troops to kill my eldest brother..."
When the people around heard this, they all showed indignation on their faces.
Not to mention those in officialdom, there is no one in the entire Southern Yan Kingdom, including the people and soldiers, who does not hate the Northern Frontier Kingdom.
In the past few years, countless soldiers have died on the border. If they really encountered such a good opportunity as killing the princess of the enemy country, who would not want to do it?
It's just because of their humble status and too many concerns that they hesitate.
But the commander-in-chief Yan Fengxiao led the troops by example, so what was there to be afraid of for his subordinates?
After all, it wasn’t the princess of their Southern Yan Kingdom who was killed!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other and suddenly laughed, because they had done this kind of thing with the governor, and now everyone was tied together.
The most stable relationship is naturally one in which both parties keep the same secret.
All the blood drained from Yan Qinghao's body. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the next moment, Yan Fengxiao didn't give him a chance to speak.
The long sword slashed down, and Qin Mingzhu saw a familiar scene.
Yan Qinghao's blood splashed on her cheek, causing Qin Mingzhu's eyes to tremble slightly. She raised her fingers and gently touched her cheek.
The blood was warm, and her cheeks were warm too.
This scene made her a little dazed.
The moment her revenge was achieved, she felt her whole heart relax.
It seemed as if her heartstrings were always tense, making her restless.
Yan Qinghao and Princess Su of the Northern Frontier Kingdom have been like sharp blades pointing at her neck since she was reborn, and it seems that they will fall at any time and destroy her family.
Now... they are all dead.
It was a very miserable death!
Qin Mingzhu immediately turned around and looked at Yan Fengxiao.
At this time, Yan Fengxiao's face was stern and he ordered people to clean up the scene.
All the bodies were piled into a newly dug pit, then doused with grease. Someone took out a torch and threw it in.
In an instant, the entire dilapidated courtyard was engulfed in flames.
The crackling sound of explosions spread in the night, and flames seemed to be jumping in Qin Mingzhu's eyes.
Qin Mingzhu took a deep breath, her eyes slightly red.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and gently wiped her cheek with a handkerchief.
Qin Mingzhu shifted her gaze from the flames and looked up at the man in front of her.
In past and present lives, she seemed to owe him a lot...
She thought that it would take her a long time to avenge this grudge.
She was just the daughter of a down-and-out general, while Princess Su was the favorite sister of two generals and the emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, and her status was unparalleled.
The gap between the two people's identities is as huge as heaven and earth.
Even if Princess Su noticed her, just one word would cause countless assassins to come and try to kill her.
Many women who had had affairs with Yan Qinghao were killed in this way.
That Princess Su was so arrogant that she treated human lives as playthings.
However, today, the person who was trampled to death was Princess Su!
Yan Fengxiao smelled strongly of blood.
However, his voice was calm, with a certain maturity and stability, "The face is stained with blood, dirty."
Qin Mingzhu did not avoid it, allowing the other person's fingers to gently brush across her cheek.
Raising his eyes, those clear eyes reflected Yan Fengxiao's figure completely.
She suddenly smiled.
"Commander Yan, there's no way to wipe the blood off your body."
Yan Fengxiao said: "It's fine for me, but not for you."
After he wiped the blood off Qin Mingzhu's cheek, he lowered his eyes and gently pulled up her hand holding the hairpin.
Taking the hairpin, he wiped the blood from between her fingers in the same way.
The man's voice was magnetic and pleasant. It was not sweet talk, but every word he said shook her heart.
"My hands are stained with blood countless times, so one or two won't make a difference, but your hands are clean and will always be clean."
Qin Mingzhu stood there in a daze.
"I can kill those who are inconvenient for you to kill..."
Flames burned nearby.
The entire courtyard was eventually reduced to a sea of fire.
Yan Fengxiao asked Uncle Chen to escort Qin Mingzhu back home safely, and then he took his men back to the Governor's Mansion.
In the alley, everything that happened in this dilapidated courtyard was gradually engulfed by flames.
…
The envoy from the Northern Frontier Kingdom entered the capital on the second day after Princess Su's death.
There were more than a thousand people coming, and it was a grand occasion.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, there was a lot of commotion. The emperor of Southern Yan obviously attached great importance to this peace talk and specially arranged for ministers to receive the envoys.
At the morning court session, civil and military officials were arguing fiercely over this matter.
Led by the eldest prince Yan Xuanjing, including the Ministry of War and the current prime minister, all advocated that peace talks could be held with the Northern Frontier Kingdom this time, and it would be best to sign a ceasefire agreement to recuperate.
The pro-war faction is headed by the Second Prince Yan Liuchen. Among them, Grand Tutor Ming leads the generals to support the Second Prince. They have already formed a rival faction, and each has his own reasons.
The emperor seems to have many sons and daughters, but in reality, the only ones who are powerful and influential and can come to the fore are the eldest prince and the second prince.
The third and fourth princes have been crowned kings and do not often stay in the capital. Although the fifth prince has a strong background, he is younger and has just reached adulthood. As for achievements, he has none.
Therefore, all civil and military officials also had their own support, but they just didn't express it too obviously.
This is naturally what the Emperor of Southern Yan wants to see, so he usually turns a blind eye. As long as the fight between the two is not excessive, he will not intervene.
As everyone was arguing, the eldest prince, Yan Xuanjing, suddenly spoke up. "General Yan, I recently learned from the envoy that Princess Su of the Northern Frontier personally led her men into the Imperial City yesterday. Did you see them?"
Yan Fengxiao's expression was calm, "Your Majesty, I have never seen it."
Yan Xuanjing frowned slightly, "Where did you take your people last night?"
"Catch the fugitive."
"Has the fugitive been caught?"
"certainly."
"What about the escaped convict?"
"Kill them on the spot!"
Yan Fengxiao's answer was very brief, and his tone was calm. It was obviously such a big deal as killing Dingyuan Hou, but in his mouth it seemed like he was just executing a small follower.
