Chapter 189 So What If It’s a Bloodbath?
Yan Qiuer nodded: "Everything is ready, we can leave at any time. It's a pity that I have been planning in Qi for over a year... It's really a failure at the last moment!"
Ling Xue glanced at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's evacuate now."
However, when they were about to leave, they opened the door and saw Dongfang Qi, Lin Qingyue, and a group of people from Xuan Jingsi standing outside.
Ling Xue was extremely surprised. She didn't expect them to come back.
Yan Qiuer immediately pulled out a dagger and tried to resist.
But before she could get close, Xie Shouzheng swung his whip at her and started fighting with her.
Da Mi and several guards also chased after them to help.
After just a few rounds, Yan Qiuer could no longer hold out and was whipped to the ground by Xie Shouzheng.
Da Mi rushed forward and put the knife to her neck: "Behave yourself, or I'll chop off your head!"
Seeing that she was doomed, Yan Qiu'er said bitterly, "Just wait for your revenge!"
Then he was ready to be killed.
Lin Qingyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She flicked her finger and deflected the blade.
Da Mi and others also reacted and pinned the person to the ground, not allowing her to move again.
Lin Qingyue sneered: "Why, you want to die, have you asked me?"
Dongfang Qi put his hands behind his back and asked with a faint smile, "Prince Ling Zhen, you shouldn't want to protect your sister anymore, right?"
As the Guxin powder enters the body, the medicinal effect gradually begins to take effect.
At this time, Ling Zhen began to feel weak and dizzy, and his voice became a little weak.
"Axue, give up! Don't be stubborn anymore. Guiyuan Sect is... a perverse sect that only causes chaos and trouble. Axue..."
"Shut up!" Ling Xue pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Ling Zhen's neck, shouting, "Get out of the way, or we'll all be destroyed!"
"I am the Princess of Feng State, and my brother is the most respected Crown Prince of Feng State. If something were to happen in your State of Qi, it would definitely affect the relationship between the two countries! It might even disrupt the harmony that has existed for many years."
Ling Zhen said, "Axue, stop it! It doesn't matter if I die, but Feng Country cannot fight, and the peace of the three kingdoms in the Central Plains cannot be destroyed because of this!"
"So what?" Ling Xue smiled heartlessly, as if she was a child who had not grown up.
"So what if there's a war? So what if people die? If I can't survive, no one else can!"
"Axue, you..." Ling Zhen wanted to persuade her again, but he was getting weaker and weaker, and soon he couldn't even stand. He couldn't speak either.
Ling Xue moved the knife behind Ling Zhen and shouted, "Come here, protect the emperor! The Qi people have evil intentions and want to kill this princess and the eldest prince!"
Naturally, they brought a number of entourages with them on this mission, including ministers from Feng State and well-trained guards.
In order to protect his sister, Ling Zhen had previously evacuated those people.
Hearing Ling Xue's cry, the ministers and guards of Feng Kingdom rushed out all at once.
Ling Xue pointed at Dongfang Qi and the others and began to confuse right and wrong: "These people suddenly broke into the embassy with the intention of harming my royal brother. Quickly protect the emperor!"
"No, no..." Ling Zhen wanted to explain clearly, but as the effect of the Gu Xin Powder began to take effect, even his speech became uncontrollable.
Under Ling Xue's instigation, the two sides were already on the verge of a showdown.
Xie Shouzheng cursed angrily, "What a piece of shit princess you are! You've harmed your own brother and country. Are you still a human being? And you fools, can't you see that this woman has ulterior motives? Put down the knife immediately and persuade your princess to change her ways!"
"Shut up!" an envoy from Feng State said. "We have come from afar to maintain diplomatic relations between our two countries. How dare you lead your troops into the Honglu Temple? And even insult our princess with rude words! I urge you to withdraw your troops immediately, otherwise Feng State will never let you go!"
Dongfang Qi's guards suggested, "Your Highness, how about we retreat? Ling Xue is their princess, they won't believe us. But if a bloody battle breaks out here, regardless of the outcome, it will be difficult to explain to Fengguo."
Dongfang Qi pondered in silence, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Lin Qingyue suddenly laughed, and Ling Xue was confused: "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Qingyue's smile faded. "I laugh at your foolishness. If you hadn't attacked your brother, perhaps he would have protected you. But now you've made him into a puppet. Even if we let you go, he'll be under your control after you return to Feng State and will turn around and slander Qi State."
"With your ruthless personality, you might actually start a war between the two countries. So..."
Her face darkened, and her words were particularly cruel: "...Rather than letting you counterattack and cause a disaster later, it is better to get rid of this scourge of yours once and for all today!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and gestured, "Thank you, sir, prepare the formation! It's just a hundred or so guards, so what if we're going to have a bloodbath?"
Xie Shouzheng was secretly shocked: Deputy Envoy Lin is indeed a ruthless person!
He then shouted, "Set up the formation!"
The Xuanjing Division had previously mobilized all its forces to rescue Lin Qingyue, with most of them lying in ambush outside.
At this moment, hearing the order from the two chief officers, everyone rushed out, took out their magic weapons and formed a battle formation. With the addition of the prince's guards, the people of Feng State immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Ling Xue said: "Do you really disregard the friendship between the two countries? Brother..."
She pretended to be weak again, looking at Dongfang Qi with affection: "This time, Axue also came for you. Have you forgotten the time we played together when we were little? If you hadn't rejected me so cruelly, we wouldn't have fallen out. Brother Qi, are you really going to do this to me?"
