Chapter 285 Execution
"You're back?" Xue Ren saw Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu unlock the stone table's mechanism and asked hurriedly, "Did you catch them?"
Huo Xifei nodded and gestured to the side.
Xue Ren was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly covered the wound on his abdomen and stood up. Sure enough, he saw You Hai tied up, leaning against a pillar with his head lowered.
Xue Ren gritted his teeth, drew his sword, walked over to You Hai and gave him a hard kick, then turned around and bowed to Huo Xifei: "Thank you!"
Huo Xifei shook his head and said, "I'll leave the other person to me, but I must take Youhai away. He sent assassins to kill the prince of the Dali Dynasty. The emperor is furious and wants to see Youhai dead or alive!"
"Don't worry, I only want revenge, I'm not interested in anything else!" Xue Ren replied.
Huo Xifei nodded, made a gesture of invitation to him, and then retreated to the side with Yuan Ziyu.
Xue Ren looked at Yuan Ziyu and said, "If this girl is afraid of witnessing this murder scene, she might as well turn her back!"
"It's okay!" Yuan Ziyu shook his head and smiled faintly.
Seeing that Yuan Ziyu showed no fear, Xue Ren did not insist any longer. Instead, he turned to look at the unconscious You Hai, narrowed his eyes, and without hesitation stabbed the sword in his hand into You Hai's heart.
"Ah!" The sharp pain in his heart woke You Hai from his coma and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
You Hai first glanced at the Blood Blade in front of him, then looked down at the long sword that had pierced his heart. He knew that he had no way out today, and he gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "Blood Blade, you... you traitor, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost... even if I become a ghost!"
"Hmph!" Blood Blade snorted coldly, "You'd better go downstairs and apologize to Ghost Face first!"
"You...you are here for the ghost mask?" You Hai asked in surprise.
Blood Blade gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, you killed Ghost Face. Today I will send you to make amends to him!"
"If I had known... if I had known this would happen, I would have gotten rid of you... got rid of you together!" You Hai secretly hated himself for leaving such a hidden danger for himself, and now he had lost his life in vain.
"It's a pity that you have no chance!" Xue Ren said coldly, and the long sword in his hand pushed forward a few more inches.
You Hai could no longer speak. He stared at Xue Ren and slowly fell to the ground without a sound.
Xue Ren pulled out the sword, looked at You Hai's body, took a deep breath, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Xue Ren, you hide first. After I leave, you can go down the mountain by yourself. We will meet in the capital then!" When Huo Xifei heard some noise outside the village house, he knew that it must be Pingshan's people who came. He hurriedly told Xue Ren the address to meet in the capital and made an appointment for the meeting time!
When Pingshan and several deputy generals entered the village with some soldiers, they saw Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu in the pavilion, with a person lying beside them, but they didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
"Prince!" Pingshan and several deputy generals hurried forward and saluted.
Huo Xifei turned to look at them and said calmly, "The owner of Youye Tower attempted to resist and has been executed. Send someone to carry him away. Bring him with you when you return to the capital so you can report to His Majesty!"
When the people in Pingshan heard that the owner of Youye Tower had been executed, they were overjoyed: "Yes, Prince!"
Half a month later, the news that Youye Tower had been wiped out and its owner Youhai had been executed quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. This news also slowly swept the entire Dali Dynasty, and even places outside the Dali Dynasty.
Because Huo Xifei had made great contributions in the encirclement and suppression of Youye Tower, Emperor Wen of Qi personally appointed him as the second-rank auxiliary general, a second-rank official. Compared with the fourth-rank commander of the Imperial Guard before, Huo Xifei could be said to have jumped four levels. At the same time, he still served as the commander of the Imperial Guard. The speed of his promotion was comparable to that of Yuan Qifeng, who was appointed as the first-rank general of the country by the emperor the previous year.
For a time, Huo Xifei was in the limelight, and Yuan Ziyu became the object of envy and jealousy of the noble ladies. Even Yuan Zitong, who was now staying indoors in Prince Ning's mansion, learned the news.
Yuan Zitong tore several pieces of brocade into pieces in her room. Now she was in Prince Ning's Mansion. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she did not dare to act as willfully as before. In the past six months, she clearly realized how terrible Xuanyuan Xiao was. His viciousness and cruelty were beyond her imagination.
"Madam!" Lian Qiao looked at Yuan Zitong worriedly and whispered comfortingly, "Don't get too angry and hurt yourself. Take care of yourself!"
"You're so angry you've made yourself sick? Ha!" Yuan Zitong couldn't help but shed tears. "Why should I care about this broken body? Look at the life I'm living now, ha? Even a concubine can rely on the prince's power to trample me under his feet. Why should I take care of myself?"
"Miss!" Lian Qiao also shed tears: "Don't think too much, the prince will definitely see the good in you in the future!"
"Seeing my good side?" Yuan Zitong sneered and turned to look at Lian Qiao: "Do you know why the prince made me his concubine? Just to humiliate me! Do you know why the prince wanted to humiliate me?"
"Big girl..." Lian Qiao called out in a low voice with some fear.
Yuan Zitong acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued to talk to herself, "It's because of my good uncle, haha, the first-rank general of the Dali Dynasty. The prince hates him, and therefore hates the entire Yuan family. The prince couldn't touch Yuan Ziyou, so he set his sights on me!"
Yuan Zitong looked at Lian Qiao with tears in her eyes: "Why? Why is it me? Yuan Ziyu is your uncle's daughter. Why should I, your niece, be implicated? Ah, why do you say?"
"Miss, don't think about it. It will hurt your body!" Lian Qiao quickly advised.
"Haha, hurt? Am I not hurt enough?" Yuan Zitong shuddered inwardly when she thought of Xuanyuan Xiao's horrific methods. "Now, in this palace, I'm living worse than a concubine..."
"Miss, you have to believe that everything will be fine!" Yuan Zitong's eyes made Lian Qiao a little scared, and she hurried forward to hold Yuan Zitong's hand.
"But Yuan Ziyu is so prosperous!" Yuan Zitong seemed to have not heard Lian Qiao's words. She was stunned and said to herself, "It's really prosperous. Brother Huo is not only the prince of the Marquisate, but also a second-rank general. He is her future husband. She will marry Brother Huo in glory and wealth. What could she lack?"
"Lian Qiao!" Yuan Zitong suddenly grabbed Lian Qiao and said, "Tell me, why? Why should I be dragged into the mud by her?"
"No, absolutely not!" Yuan Zitong shook her head, thought for a while, and then her eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, destroy her!"
"Big girl..." Lian Qiao's heart was pounding as Yuan Zitong continued, "I'm the only one in this quagmire. How lonely it must be! Lian Qiao, don't you think? Since we're sisters, we should share good and bad times together, right?"
In the study of Prince Ning's Mansion, Xuanyuan Xiao sat comfortably on the armchair with a charming woman sitting on his lap. It was none other than A'man sent by the Chile!
"Did the concubine really say that?" Xuanyuan Xiao asked the person kneeling in front of the desk.
"Yes!" the man answered respectfully.
"Okay, get down!"
"yes!"
After the man left, Ah Man smiled and said, "My Lord, is there anything I can do for you?"
"My beautiful lady, you don't have to do anything. You might even have a sister soon!"
Xuanyuan Xiao smiled evilly, and then kissed Ah Man who was half-hearted...
