Chapter 249: Yandu is in trouble
No matter how mature and steady Helian Feng was, he was still angered by Xiao Nanyue's words.
In public, this guy was clearly implying that Helian Feng had voluntarily put on a green hat.
How could a prince, a descendant of the royal family, tolerate such a great humiliation!
"Xiao Nanyan, I will not argue with a dying man like you!"
He raised the military token high in his hand and gave orders to the 20,000 armored troops:
"Prepare……"
Chu Jin's expression also changed. He knew that if he said the word "charge to kill", he would not care whether others died or not, but Manluo would probably not escape death either.
But that damn woman refused to change her ways despite repeated persuasion and insisted on following Xiao Nanyue to her death.
Moreover, this woman today pretended to be cold and indifferent, not even looking at him. How hateful!
Helian Feng kept rolling the word "kill" in his throat, but when he saw Xiyan's cold little face, he suddenly choked - swords and arrows have no eyes, if someone loses their aim in the chaos of the army...
"Feng'er!"
Queen Su Qinyao's angry rebuke was like a sharp sword that shattered the stagnant air:
"A man of your stature, why would you be so sentimental? If you don't give the order, if Xiao Nanyan becomes powerful one day, the first person he will slaughter will be you, the Crown Prince of Tianqi! That bitch is pregnant with the traitor's bastard child, how could she ever be sincere to you in the future? If you hesitate to make a decision, you will only leave trouble for the future!"
Helian Feng's teeth clattered, and the veins under his crown throbbed. After a struggle between his conscience and his will, he finally made a decision. Just as he was about to give an order, he heard Xiao Nanyan suddenly speak:
"My aunt is truly a heroine, forsaking all her relatives. But, Your Highness, are you sure you want to give the order?"
Su Qinyao's eyes narrowed: "Feng'er, don't listen to him stalling for time here, give the order!"
But Xiao Nanyan sneered:
"Okay, then please shoot them along with your loved ones!"
"What do you mean?"
Helian Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, but he saw Xiao Nanyan's palms clapping, and four figures, Xuan, Ye, Zi and Xue, flew towards the thousand-year-old locust trees on both sides of the hunting platform as fast as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, they each picked up another person and jumped off the ancient tree, then landed back in their original position.
Helian Cong, Su Qinyao, and Helian Feng took a closer look at the person they were holding hostage, and they were all shocked and their faces changed drastically!
It turned out that the people held hostage by the Four Demons were none other than the Fourth Prince Helian Ye, the Fifth Prince Helian Ting, the Sixth Prince Helian Ji, and the Eldest Princess Helian Shu!
These four people were hidden on the ancient tree by Xiao Nanyan's men at some point in time. No one could move because their acupoints were sealed.
Helian Cong staggered and held onto the railing, looking at his beloved children being held hostage with a sharp knife, his eyes bloodshot:
"Ye'er! Ting'er! Ji'er! Shu'er!"
Su Qinyao had never expected that her precious daughter would fall into Xiao Nanyan's hands, and she was horrified:
"Shu'er!"
Xiao Nanyan waved his hand, and the four princes and princesses' acupuncture points were untied one after another.
Except for Helian Shu who was already over the age of marriage, the other princes were only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only seven years old. They had never seen such a scene before, and they were all scared to death. Helian Ji burst into tears:
"Father, Brother, please save Ji'er!"
Helian Cong's face turned pale as he pointed at Xiao Nanyan angrily:
"Xiao Nanyan, how dare you take them as hostages? How despicable! Release them quickly, and I will spare your life!"
"Spar me?"
Xiao Nanyan fiddled with the python embroidery on his cuffs, nonchalantly:
"I'm afraid that as soon as I release them, your 20,000 armored troops will slaughter all of us!"
Helian Cong was so angry that his face turned pale, but his children were in the hands of the other party, so he dared not act rashly and hurriedly ordered Helian Feng:
"Don't give the order yet!"
Su Qinyao was furious: "Xiao Nanyan, what do you want?"
"Aunt, we are all family. How could Nan Yan be so ruthless as to kill someone? Besides, Nan Yan is in danger right now, so he should act according to Aunt's wishes."
Helian Feng's face turned pale, and his eyes were almost spitting fire:
"Xiao Nanyan, you are truly despicable. You actually broke into the Tianqi Palace and captured the prince and princess. Your intention to rebel is obvious."
Xiao Nanyan laughed out loud:
"Your Highness, please do not slander me. I am not holding them hostage. I heard that the palace was attacked by bandits, so I sent my secret guards to rescue them. If that's the case, I can still count my rescue as meritorious service!"
"What, bandits?"
Helian Cong's expression changed drastically. "How could bandits enter the imperial palace? Xiao Nanyan, why are you being so mysterious?"
Xiao Nanyan laughed and said, "I didn't burn the armory. It was someone else who was the thief crying 'stop thief'. However, the fire in the armory might have been fake, but the fire in the Yandu Palace was real! If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction Xiao Nanyue pointed. It would have been fine if they hadn't looked, but when they did, they were horrified.
Just now, there was a fight going on here, with shouts and screams deafening the sky, so no one noticed.
It was quiet now, and looking towards the direction of Yandu City, flames shot up into the sky and shouts of killing could be heard one after another!
Helian Feng's expression changed drastically:
"Oh no, Yandu is in trouble!"
