Qingyan shrank back, lowered her head, and did not dare to look into Wu Mingliang's eyes. However, Xiao Hanshan refused to let her do as she wished. He pulled her into his arms, fixed her chin with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss her fiercely.
"Why..." Wu Mingliang asked blankly. His eyes had lost focus, and his body rested on the sword, trembling and teetering...
"See, this is your goddess, your baby, but now, she is just my plaything..." Xiao Hanshan grabbed Qingyan's long hair and pulled her away from him. A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Qingyan's mouth. Although her face was full of pain, she dared not say a word.
But those eyes were filled with endless apology.
"Since you want to know why, I will grant your wish. After all, we are brothers. I am happy to help you at the last moment of your life..." Xiao Hanshan straightened his clothes, watching the gradual collapse in front of him with satisfaction, and said slowly.
"Your woman betrayed you for a man, and that man wasn't me, so you shouldn't hate me! As for me... I was the prince's person from the beginning to the end, so you still shouldn't hate me... If you want to hate someone, hate yourself. Falling in love with someone you shouldn't love, trusting someone who deliberately approached you..."
"Really?" Wu Mingliang laughed bitterly, his laughter dripping with sarcasm, and it was unclear who he was mocking. "Do you think I don't know you're the Crown Prince's man... But for your mother's sake... Never mind. There's nothing more to say at this point. Success goes to the king, and failure comes to the bandits. Since I've fallen into your hands, I've paid my debt..."
After Wu Mingyuan finished speaking, he used all his strength to draw his sword and slash his neck.
Xiao Hanshan's expression changed several times, and a burst of energy shot out from his fingers, shooting towards Wu Mingliang. Wu Mingliang's wrist loosened, the long sword fell off, and he himself collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Xiao Hanshan jumped off the chariot and slowly walked to Wu Mingyuan's side, shaking his shoulders with both hands: "What did you say? For my mother's sake? Haha, your relationship really is like that of a biological mother and son! Also, do you think you can decide your own life and death? Haha, impossible, your life is mine, even your death requires my consent!"
Wu Mingyuan's face turned pale as he gradually fell into a coma and was unable to respond to him at all.
Xiao Hanshan's unbridled laughter echoed in the wilderness, and the surroundings were plunged into a strange atmosphere.
"Bang bang~" A loud noise resounded through the clear sky, and the ground began to shake. The soldiers looked around in panic. Was it an earth dragon turning over?
The accident happened suddenly. Xiao Hanshan looked in the direction of the loud noise and frowned deeply. That was the direction where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.
Soon, the sound of galloping horses came from that direction. The soldiers made way for a path, and three riders came galloping. The leading rider held the reins tightly in one hand and held high a bright yellow dragon flag in the other.
Seeing Xiao Hanshan, the three of them dismounted, crawled over to him and knelt down, "Master Xiao, the Crown Prince is gone..."
Xiao Hanshan was startled, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He grabbed the collar of the reporting soldier with one hand, pulled him up from the ground, and brought him in front of him. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "What did you say?"
The soldier turned pale with fear and stammered, "His Highness... His Highness... is... dead..."
Xiao Hanshan threw the soldier in his hand and said coldly, "Prepare the horses!" Immediately, a soldier led the horse forward. Xiao Hanshan jumped on the horse and turned to the generals behind him and said, "Save him, or watch out for your heads!"
The general received the order and quickly carried Wu Mingyuan onto a chariot and called a military doctor for treatment.
Oh my god! The emperor only has these two sons. Originally, the crown prince killed the second prince, and they rose to heaven because of their meritorious service to the emperor. Now, the crown prince died inexplicably, and the second prince was seriously injured and unconscious. What happened?
I can only pray silently in my heart that the second prince doesn't die, otherwise the emperor will have to exterminate all nine generations of their family. Just kidding, his two sons are dead, and those of you who got involved will be buried with him, right?
The place where the incident occurred was not far from where Xiao Yuanshan besieged Wu Mingyuan. When Xiao Hanshan arrived, the soldiers were busy pouring water into a big pit.
After the flames in the pit died down, several soldiers jumped down and pulled out a dark-skinned figure. The most surprising thing was that the culprit was still breathing.
As for their Crown Prince, there is not even a trace left of him.
It was probably smashed into a pulp first and then burned to ashes by the fire.
A group of Jinyiwei surrounded Xiao Hanshan, waiting for his instructions. They were all the guards around the prince. Once the prince died, their way of life would be cut off, but they were unwilling to accept this.
"Although the Crown Prince is dead, the Second Prince is still alive. The Emperor is old and has been away from government affairs for a long time. If the generals want to save their lives, do you know what to do?"
"I will obey Lord Xiao's orders!"
"The troops must retreat two hundred miles and station there. No news can be leaked. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!" Xiao Hanshan ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes!" The generals obeyed the order.
"Tie this man up and take him away!" Xiao Hanshan pointed at the faceless man lying on the ground.
It was already late at night when Lai Siyu woke up. She found herself trapped in a small space with an unconscious man lying beside her.
It must have been a carriage, jolting along, causing her to bump into things here and there. The red squirrel lay unconscious on her shoulder, its four little paws clutching her shoulders so tightly that its nails had dug into her flesh.
Lai Siyu tried to mobilize her spiritual energy, but found her dantian dim and without any reaction. She tried to release her spiritual consciousness again, but damn, it was no use! The broken copper piece also remained quietly in her sea of consciousness, without any reaction at all.
Neither her spiritual power nor her divine consciousness was of any use. She couldn't open her storage bag, and couldn't enter the space. Oh my God, where did she fall?
The area below the black cliff was already a barren and desolate place, but I didn't expect it to be even worse under the crack at the bottom of the black cliff. I couldn't even use my spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.
Then what is the difference between her, a Jindan cultivator, and ordinary people here?
Looking at the tightly tied ropes around her body, damn, has she been arrested?
Although she has no spiritual power, this broken rope is still not a problem for her. She didn't carry the pig on her back in vain during those years.
With just a wave of his arm, the rope on his body broke. The carriage was moving fast, making a clanging sound that perfectly covered up the sound of the broken rope.
Lai Siyu raised her hand and pushed the wooden board above her head. It was so heavy! The sound of goods hitting the wooden board could be heard. If the wooden board above her head was directly broken, the noise would definitely be very loud.
This is a strange place for her, so it’s better to be cautious.
