The Qingqiu Kingdom was not known for its fighting prowess, and coupled with the fact that they had fewer people than the Liang King's side, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, with many people injured and lying on the ground, their fates unknown.
At this moment, the Second Prince shouted, "King of Qingqiu, I'm here to lend you a hand!"
As he spoke, he led his men over. He worried that as time went on, both sides would realize what was going on, so he thought it better to take this opportunity to muddy the waters completely.
King Liang felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he shouted, "So it was you who colluded with us! Come and die!"
After all, he possessed the cultivation of a Grandmaster, and with his personal guards being elite warriors, he quickly swept through the enemy lines. The guards of Qingqiu Kingdom could not stop him. The Second Prince outwardly offered to help, but in reality, he did not truly contribute.
Tu Shanyu finally couldn't withstand the attack, and after taking a blow, he coughed up blood and flew backward.
Seeing that even when she was spitting blood, she was still so beautiful, King Liang's heart stirred. He held back three-tenths of his strength, thinking that she was originally the ruler of a country, and although he held a high position and great power, he couldn't do anything to her.
But if the other side colludes with them from within and without, causing the human army to collapse, then I can rightfully capture her, and then I can do whatever I want to them on the way.
He wasn't too worried about his own safety. In this situation, the enemy was obviously focusing their attack on the troops in the main camp; otherwise, if they were able to effectively gather them together, the enemy would be in danger.
This so-called second prince can't be that stupid, so even if he dies, it'll just be those common soldiers. As the commander-in-chief, with so many guards around him, he can take this opportunity to fight his way out.
King Liang practically pounced on Tu Shanyu, and could clearly see her trembling eyelashes in a panic. He thought to himself, "She's a real beauty."
He subconsciously held back a bit, worried that he might accidentally kill the beauty, which would be a pity.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Tu Shanyu, pulled her into his arms, and stared coldly at her.
Upon seeing the other person's appearance, King Liang was startled and quickly stopped in front of him, looking at him with a complicated expression: "So it's the Regent."
You have to understand that a few years ago, this guy was just a minor son-in-law in Mingyue City. Back then, he was worlds apart from me. I didn't even need to lift a finger; a mere glance from him would send his henchmen to make me wish I were dead.
Before long, he had grown to the point where he had to look up to him.
Tu Shan Yu, who had thought she was doomed, never expected to find herself in a warm embrace. Feeling that familiar presence, she was both surprised and delighted: "Regent~"
Her voice was so sweet and cloying that it gave Xie Daoyun, who was not far away, goosebumps all over.
Murong Qinghe couldn't help but whisper to her, "Sister Xie, do you think there's anything between the King of Qingqiu and Brother Zu?"
Xie Daoyun said with a stern face, "You can ask your eldest brother Zu yourself when the time comes."
"I wouldn't dare." Murong Qinghe looked worried. His elder brother Zu was good in every way, except that he was too much of a womanizer.
Zu An stared at King Liang with an icy expression: "With a formidable enemy at hand, why are you and the King of Qingqiu fighting side by side instead of joining forces against them?"
King Liang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are unaware of the truth. This woman colluded with the Second Prince of the Demon Clan to invite a wolf into our house to attack our army. I was just about to capture her as a hostage."
"I'm not..." Tu Shanyu was about to explain when Zu An stopped her.
"What evidence do you have?" Zu'an asked, looking at King Liang.
Seeing that the other party wouldn't listen to Tu Shanyu's explanation, King Liang was secretly pleased: "If it weren't for her inside help, how could the Second Prince's army have appeared here so quietly? Besides, the Second Prince just said it himself, and many people here heard it. Don't you think so?"
"Yes..." Apart from his loyal subordinates, the others gradually realized something was wrong.
"You believe whatever the enemy says? You've fallen for someone's divisive tactics without even realizing it, you fool," Zu An said coldly.
The King of Liang's expression changed: "After all, I am also a figure of the emperor's uncle level. I hope the Regent will be careful with his words!"
"You still have the nerve to say why the Second Prince's army was able to appear here so silently? It's all because you didn't send out scouts! Even the Qin brothers' suggestions were rejected by you several times, almost causing the entire human reinforcements to be wiped out. I'm being lenient by scolding you." Zu An thought to himself that if it weren't for the balance of power between the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the capital, why would they send out such an idiot?
King Liang also shouted, "Some things can't be said carelessly. It was only because you, Regent, recommended this woman to escort us along the way that I completely trusted her. I was worried about affecting the diplomatic relations between our two tribes, and I was also afraid of offending you, so I didn't send out more scouts. Now that your own people have run into trouble, you want to shift the blame onto me. This is outrageous!"
Upon hearing his words, many human soldiers began to discuss them, as if what he said made some sense.
At this moment, Murong Qinghe spoke up: "Tch, you speak so righteously, but isn't it just that you are lusting after the beauty of the Queen of Qingqiu and want to leave a good impression on her, while risking the safety of countless brothers!"
Sensing the suspicious looks from the soldiers, King Liang grew anxious: "You just like that boy from the Chu family, and the Regent is the Chu family's son-in-law, so naturally you're speaking up for him!"
Murong Qinghe was both ashamed and anxious: "My two brothers from the Qin family have suggested to you many times that you send out more scouts. Now they are seriously injured while giving warnings! Sister Xie can also testify to this."
"Who doesn't know that this Xie fellow also likes the Regent?" King Liang sneered.
Xie Daoyun was about to speak when she heard this and immediately blushed deeply: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
King Liang was about to speak again, but Zu An stopped him: "Enough! He delayed military operations and neglected his duties, almost becoming a sinner against humanity for all time! Guards, seize Zhao Yi and take him back to the capital for trial."
"Who dares!" King Liang brandished his weapon, dodging the soldiers who were about to step forward. "You surnamed Zu, I am the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by the imperial court, and also the emperor's uncle. What right do you have to attack me! Are you trying to seize power and defect to the demon race? If you have the guts, kill me now, otherwise I will definitely..."
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of sword light appeared, and a head shot straight into the sky.
Zuan gently blew away the blood droplets on the tip of his sword: "Since you have such a request, how can I refuse to grant it?"
