Chapter 809: The child she is pregnant with is not mine
Of course Nan Yan felt it too.
After all, she had been to the battlefield with Zhu Feng and had experienced so many life and death situations, so her alertness was not bad.
There seemed to be something in the thick fog.
At this time, as if in response to their mood, even the river water became turbulent. The surging river water hit the stone piers on the shore, stirring up huge waves. Even the ship in the thick fog was shaking slightly with the waves.
And amidst the sound of the river, there seemed to be other sounds mixed in.
It seems like——
The sound of horse hooves and countless footsteps.
These sounds were hidden in the thick fog around them, and as the fog evaporated, they slowly surrounded them.
Nan Yan's heart was beating.
Ashige finally understood what was going on and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
No one answered him.
However, the sound seemed to be getting louder and louder, and even in the thick fog, some dark shadows could be seen flashing around them.
In an instant, all of Ashige's men surrounded him, protected him in the center, and drew their swords and pointed them at the surroundings.
These people are worthy of being the high-level killers of Yihuatang. Their reaction speed and sensitivity are different from ordinary people.
A fierce light flashed in Ashig's eyes.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Nan Yan's neck!
Nan Yan had been stretching her neck to look around when he suddenly grabbed her by the neck. She was so frightened that even her breathing stopped. She looked at him with wide eyes. Ah Xige's eyes were gleaming with ferocity. He stared at the surroundings viciously and said, "If you don't speak, I will strangle her to death!"
In this silent environment, Nan Yan's heart was beating like a drum.
At this time, a sound finally came from the thick fog.
But it was the laughter of one person.
The laughter sounded very hearty, even with a hint of joking.
When Nan Yan heard this laughter, her heart sank.
At that moment just now, she was still full of hope. Maybe, it should be, it must be Zhu Feng who caught up with her, and it must be him who came to save her.
However, if it was him, then none of these people would dare to laugh like that in this situation.
And there was absolutely no way he could laugh.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but this laughter sounds vaguely familiar, but it’s not something I hear often.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Hearing such laughter made Ashig feel even more uneasy. The killers around him clenched their swords tightly. Even in the thick fog, the cold light of the swords continued to flash.
Ashig said, "Who is it?"
“…”
"If she doesn't show up, I'll strangle her to death, and you'll just have to wait and collect her body!"
At this moment, the laughter stopped, and a tall figure slowly emerged from the thick fog. As he walked out, he said calmly, "King Beili, please do not act rashly. After all, if you move, I will move too."
This king?
Hearing these two words, Nan Yan's heart trembled again.
Before she could think about it, the tall figure had slowly emerged in the thick fog.
A handsome man, wearing a gorgeous robe, even holding a folding fan in his hand - although in such weather, anyone holding a folding fan is either a madman or a fool, but when he holds it in his hand, he looks so suave and exceptionally handsome.
When she saw the face clearly, Nan Yan gasped.
The man in front of him was none other than Prince Ning Zhu Xuan, whom he had met once in the palace!
How come he is here?
At this moment, Nan Yan's mind was completely confused, and when he saw him, Ashige's breathing was obviously disordered as well.
He frowned and asked, "Are you—Prince Ning?"
"King Beili, I've long admired you."
Zhu Xuan bowed to him.
Then, he looked at Nan Yan again.
On that handsome face, as always, there was a dashing smile, and he said, "Your Highness, I am sorry that I am late and have frightened you."
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless.
Of course, at this time, anyone can come, as long as they can save her.
However, she couldn't help but wonder, where is Zhu Feng?
Why hasn't he shown up yet?
At this time, Ning Wang Zhu Xuan looked up again, looking at the gloomy Axige, and said, "I have heard that the Beili King is also a famous hero in the Dian Kingdom. How could he be so destitute as to threaten a woman, especially a pregnant woman?"
Hearing such ridicule, Ashiger's face became even uglier.
However, he remained calm and said, "I don't want to threaten a pregnant woman."
“…”
"It's just that this pregnant woman is of great significance to our country, especially to our monarch."
Zhu Xuan's eyes flickered.
But he immediately said: "But she means more to our country, especially to our monarch."
“…”
"King Beili, how about we make a gentleman's agreement? I'll let you go, and you'll release the concubine. How about that?"
Ashige sneered and said, "Do you think I will believe you?"
As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his hands.
Nan Yan felt her throat tighten and her breathing paused.
She also clearly saw that in the surrounding fog, she could see countless flashes of cold light and countless black shadows. Obviously, they were the people brought by Prince Ning Zhu Xuan.
Those men had already drawn their swords and aimed their arrows at Ashig.
If it weren't for Ashige blocking his way, a fight would have probably already started.
Ashiger stared at the surroundings and said, "Now, I want you to step back, otherwise, I will break her neck immediately!"
Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ashig snapped, "Back off!"
Zhu Xuan was silent for a moment, then took a step back as he was told. However, when he took a step back, all the soldiers behind him took a step forward.
Ashige narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you going to fight this king?"
Zhu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I know that the Yihuatang under the command of King Beili is full of elites. Since King Beili has penetrated deep into the territory of Yan Country this time, he must have brought with him the elite of the elites."
Axige snorted coldly, but before he could speak, Zhu Xuan continued, "But my Duoyan Guards are not pushovers either."
Duoyanwei.
When she heard these three words, Nan Yan's eyes lit up.
The Three Guards of Doyan are the three most elite troops in the territory of Yan State.
In the previous battle on the border of Yue State, Taining Guard and Fuyu Guard had already surrendered to Zhu Feng, while the most powerful Duoyan Guard was still under the command of Ning Wang Zhu Xuan.
He actually brought Duo Yanwei with him.
Ashige said coldly, "So you want to use the Duoyan Guard to confront my Yihuatang head-on?"
"There's no need for a head-on confrontation."
Zhu Xuan had a sneer on his lips. He waved his hand, and everyone saw that the bows and arrows in the hands of these soldiers were all drawn, and the arrows were flashing with cold light, aimed at Ashige.
All archers!
There is really no need to confront it head-on.
In this situation, with thousands of arrows fired at once, even a master of Yihuatang would inevitably be shot into a hedgehog.
But--
A drop of sweat broke out on Nan Yan's forehead. Ashiger sneered behind him and said, "You want to use archers to deal with me? The fog on the river is so thick now. Do you think you can accurately shoot me? Or are you not worried about hitting her?"
After saying that, he pulled Nan Yan's hand hard, and Nan Yan was pulled in front of him.
Not only did he take Nan Yan as a hostage, he also used Nan Yan as his human shield!
At this time, Nan Yan was also angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ashige, are you a man?!"
Ashige said coldly: "There is no distinction between male and female for the dead."
“…”
"If you really want to survive, you should ask them to stop."
Nan Yan frowned and looked at Ning Wang Zhu Xuan in front of him. Although he saw that he was pulled in front of Ashigra as a shield, there was no panic on his face. Instead, he was full of determination to win.
He said, "Ashige, you don't have to struggle anymore. No matter what happens today, don't even think about leaving here."
There was a dangerous light in Ashige's eyes, and he said sternly, "What? Are you really not afraid that I will kill her?"
Zhu Xuan tapped his forehead lightly with the fan in his hand and said with a smile, "I just thought about it. A concubine in exchange for the Beili King of the Neng Kingdom seems to be a good deal."
Nan Yan's heart sank and she looked at Zhu Xuan with wide eyes.
What he meant was—
At this moment, even if Ashige was calm, he was shocked: "Don't you care about the baby in her belly?"
Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "It's not my child."
"but--"
"Of course, this child is a prince or princess," Zhu Xuan spread his hands and said, "But there are no one from the emperor here, so who knows who killed the imperial concubine?"
“…”
"Anyway, the Beili King of the Neng Kingdom kidnapped the imperial concubine, and when his plan failed, he murdered her to silence her. I avenged the imperial concubine and killed the Beili King, which is a great achievement!"
Nan Yan couldn't believe what she heard.
Although she had only met him briefly in the palace, she had a good impression of Prince Ning. She thought he was elegant and approachable, and at least a nice person compared to the domineering Zhu Yan.
But unexpectedly, at this time, he completely disregarded his own life.
Even to the point of putting oneself to death.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ashiger's face darkened and he suddenly said, "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow flash before his eyes.
The man named Ah Hei, who looked like a rat spirit, suddenly rushed forward. His body was so fast that even the mist was still condensing when he rushed over, and he had already rushed in front of Zhu Xuan.
With two swish sounds, two daggers in his hands came out.
There was a flash of cold light, and the two short knives were put together and clamped together, like a pair of scissors, and chopped straight towards Zhu Xuan's neck.
What quick skills!
At this moment, Zhu Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He wanted to step back, but it was too late. The cold light of the blade was so close that it even penetrated his skin.
