Chapter 157 The Prince said that you are safest here
Helian Shu and Su Wan looked at Xiyan, who was sent by Xiao Nanyan, with their eyes almost spitting fire.
At the moment, everyone else was fighting, and no one noticed them. Helian Shu sneered, and under her carefully applied makeup, she couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes:
"What are you doing here?"
Xiyan bowed slightly and smiled shyly:
"The prince said that you are safest here."
"He really feels sorry for you!"
Helian Shu's eyes were fixed on the dark outer robe wrapped around Xiyan. The outer robe was embroidered with dark cloud cranes. It was embroidered by Concubine Dowager Su Xianrou herself and was also Xiao Nanyan's favorite garment. She gritted her teeth, her eyes looking as if she wanted to burn a hole in the brocade robe:
"You are worthy of wearing Brother Yan's clothes!"
Xiyan lowered her eyes, her tone filled with just the right amount of respect:
"It is the prince who cares about this servant."
Before she could finish her words, Helian Shu suddenly stepped forward and tore off her brocade robe.
"You must remember your identity!"
Xiyan silently picked up the brocade robe on the ground without refuting.
Half an hour had passed since he fell into the water, and the weather was warm, so most of his clothes had dried.
She knew that arguing with the spoiled princess would only cause trouble.
So she bowed and stepped aside, letting Helian Shu's gaze pierce her.
At this moment, she calmed down and scanned the battlefield.
On this side, Helian Feng danced with his long sword emitting silver light, standing side by side with Chu Jin and Xie Zhan. Dozens of black-clothed killers surrounded them but did not attack. When the swords collided, there were few sparks, which seemed like a deliberately prepared move.
On the other hand, Xiao Nanyue had a long sword in his hand at some point, and he was moving forward and backward in a bloody path with an icy glow. Fu Yunqing opened and closed his folding fan, and silver needles fell like rain, and in the blink of an eye, he killed off a wave of black-clad assassins.
However, more and more killers emerged, both openly and secretly, countless in number, and the corpses increased in number, and the blood dyed the bluestone on the shore red.
Xi Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself:
Needless to say, Helian Feng's swordsmanship was superb. Despite Chu Jin's reputation as the "Poison King", he didn't even use any poison mist at this moment. Although the killers' attacks were fierce, they never killed anyone. This was clearly a carefully choreographed drama.
But why did Helian Feng suddenly set up this Hongmen Banquet? What was his purpose? Did something happen to Su Lantian, and it touched someone's nerves, such as the Queen? Or... was he testing something else?
Xiyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and doubts arose in her heart, but before she could think about it, two cold lights had already broken through the air.
It turned out that there were two assassins in black, stabbing at her at the same time with two long swords.
Xiyan knew that these two killers really wanted to kill her!
In a split second, she suddenly had an idea and rushed towards Helian Shu with a scream, grabbing her sleeves tightly with both hands:
"Princess! I'm so scared!"
Helian Shu staggered and shouted loudly:
"Get out of here! What are you doing grabbing me for?"
Helian Shu just saw that the black-clad killer was targeting Xiyan, and was feeling happy, but she didn't expect that Xiyan actually used her as a human amulet!
She couldn't help but get furious and tried desperately to break free from Xiyan's arms, but she found that although this maid looked weak, she was actually very strong and she couldn't get rid of her.
Xiyan grabbed her tightly, circling around her body, and cleverly avoided the attacks of the killers.
She had already seen that the two killers wanted to kill her and had no intention of hurting Helian Shu at all. Thinking of this, she curled her lips slightly.
It seems that Helian Feng had overlooked his beloved sister and fiancée in his careful plan today. Unexpectedly, when these two jealous women heard that she was coming to the Phoenix Pavilion, they took the initiative and entered the pleasure boat without Helian Feng's consent.
Therefore, when he saw them unexpectedly appear in the pleasure boat, he showed a hint of anger.
Xiyan hated this woman's viciousness. Just now at the stern, she and Su Wan clearly wanted to kill her.
So, at this moment, her small hands were merciless and pinched her arms tightly.
If the situation becomes desperate, this Princess Apocalypse can be considered a hostage!
However, Xiyan's face was filled with tears:
"Ah, help! Ah... Princess, be careful!"
Helian Shu wanted to shake her off immediately and let those black-clad killers hack her into pieces, but she seemed to be stuck with a dog-skin plaster and couldn't get rid of it!
However, Su Wan, who was standing aside, seemed to have noticed something.
As smart as she was, she saw that today's situation was clearly a trap set by Helian Feng, and the killers were not going to kill them at all.
The panic just now suddenly calmed down.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiyan who was holding Helian Shu tightly. She guessed what Xiyan was thinking and couldn't help cursing inwardly:
You little bitch, those assassins clearly wanted to kill her. Did she want to use the princess to protect herself?
Su Wan's eyes rolled. If the assassin killed her directly, once and for all, Brother Feng would never think about this woman again! If the assassin accidentally killed Helian Shu because of her, Helian Shu was the eldest princess, the jewel in the crown of the emperor and empress. If she died, this little bitch would not be able to bear the blame either.
After thinking about it, she calmly picked up a piece of gravel the size of a duck egg at her feet, and when Xiyan dodged sideways, she kicked it hard - the gravel rolled straight to Xiyan's feet.
As Xiyan stepped on it, she felt her feet suddenly slip. She couldn't help but scream and her body shook uncontrollably.
At the same time, a cold light flashed, and a long sword brushed against Helian Shu's long hair, cutting through the air with a sharp sound, and went straight to her eyebrows!
(Note: Guys, I've been very busy with work these days, so I won't reply to all the readers one by one, and some of the replies will be swallowed.
Because it is a long novel, not a short one, the plot line will be fully developed, and several important characters will also appear. I am already speeding up the progress because once the nodes in the introduction are presented, they will be a string of closely connected ones.
I wanted to portray the delicateness and driving force of the characters' emotions, from being ignorant - loving without knowing it - pretending to be heartless - beginning to understand - falling deeply in love - regretting - forcing love - chasing his wife to the crematorium. This process is the main line, but I also wanted to integrate the art of power into the emotional line.
Sending the heroine to the prince is just one part of the power struggle... and it is also the most crucial part, representing the turning point of the hero and heroine's emotions. I will definitely use more chapters to portray it in more detail.
Because this book is all about power struggles, love and hatred, and the battles between heroes in the Shura field... Especially, it is also about the love and hatred between the male and female protagonists, and their subsequent battles...
I like to blend the characters' emotions with their political strategies, and I want to create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, rather than just simple love stories. The nodes and time arrangements for the development of the story will also be presented one by one according to my original ideas...)
