Chapter 250: Using the False Passage to Attack Guo
At this moment, Helian Shu suddenly cried out:
"Father, Mother, after you left, a group of bandits suddenly broke into the palace, claiming they were going to kill everyone in the palace, leaving no one alive. Fu Yunqing, the son of the Grand Tutor, summoned troops from somewhere, claiming they were the Xiao Family Army, to wipe out the rebels!"
"ah!"
These words were like thunder.
Helian and his son looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they realized that they had fallen into Xiao Nanyan's plan of using the pretext of attacking Guo to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Xiao Nanyue was really treacherous and cunning. He had guessed that Su Qinyao and Helian Feng would place their main forces in Yunqiu. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the emptiness of Kyoto and ordered Fu Yunqing to lead the troops to seize the opportunity to capture Yandu City.
Looking at the flames rising into the sky, Yandu City must have fallen into the hands of the Xiao family army.
Helian Cong looked incredulous:
"Impossible! There are still 80,000 troops in Yandu City. How could they be so vulnerable?"
Su Qinyao took a few steps back, her face pale.
"Your Majesty, I thought Xiao Nanyan would definitely launch a mutiny in Yunqiu, so I transferred all my main forces to Yunqiu!"
"Ah! You, you are a wretch who can do nothing but bring trouble!"
Helian Cong was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't show his anger in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.
After all, he was the king of a country and had been on the throne for more than twenty years. He calmed his mind, stared at Xiao Nanyan, and said loudly:
"Xiao Nanyan, although you have taken Yandu City, you are now trapped in Yunqiu. I can still take Yandu City back, but you are surrounded by my heavy troops and it will be difficult to break out!"
Xiao Nanyan remained calm and composed:
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of seizing Yandu. I am here to help Your Majesty defend Jingdu from being seized by bandits."
"In that case, if you release my children, I will open the gates of Yunqiu and let you out!"
When Su Qinyao heard what Helian Cong said, she immediately spoke out to stop him:
"Your Majesty, please do not let the tiger go back to the mountains! If he leaves Yunqiu and reunites with Fu Yunqing, it will be extremely difficult for him to retake Yandu!"
Helian Cong suppressed his anger:
"Do you want to watch Shu'er and the others die?"
Su Qinyao gritted her teeth and suddenly sneered:
"Your Majesty, why are you panicking? Xiao Nanyan holds hostages, and so do I!"
She turned to look at Chu Jin, and gently waved her nail-painted slender fingers:
"Order someone to bring her up!"
"yes!"
Chu Jin slapped a certain part of the armored army three times, and the crowd parted. Two soldiers pushed a middle-aged woman forward.
Although the woman was wearing a plain dress, her stunning beauty could not be concealed - she was Xiao Nanyue's biological mother, Concubine Dowager Su Xianrou.
"Rou'er!"
When Helian Cong saw that it was Su Xianrou, he was shocked. He frowned and shouted angrily:
"You two blind bastards, take your dirty hands off me and let go of the Toffee!"
As he said this, he was about to rush forward to pull Su Xianrou over, but Su Qinyao grabbed his collar:
"Your Majesty, no!"
Helian Cong's eyes were blazing with fire: "Su Qinyao, have you gone too far today? You have defied the emperor several times. Believe it or not, I will depose you!"
Su Qinyao was not in a hurry and looked calm:
"Your Majesty, why are you so emotional? If you don't exchange her for Shu'er and the others, are you going to watch your children's bodies being torn apart?"
"this……"
Helian Cong's body trembled slightly, and he was a little hesitant.
Su Qinyao's voice was filled with urging:
"Your Majesty, why are you still hesitating? It's worth it to exchange her life for four lives! I believe Xiao Nanyan will definitely respond!"
Su Qinyao thought to herself: As long as I can get my daughter back, what does it matter to me whether those three brats live or die? Once her daughter is back, she will order Xiao Nanyan and the others to be shot like hedgehogs!
Helian Cong and Su Qinyao have been married for more than 20 years, so he knows what she is thinking.
Today, it was obvious that Su Qinyao had concealed it from him, and together with his eldest son Helian Feng, she had set up a tight net in Yunqiu, intending to catch Xiao Nanyue and the others in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, she was implicated by them instead.
Whether he exchanges hostages or not, his Rouer's life will be in danger.
Helian Cong's lips couldn't stop trembling, and his throat felt like there was a ball of water-soaked cotton in it.
He slowly turned around and met Su Xianrou's pleading eyes. Tears filled her beautiful eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. He couldn't help but recall that twenty years ago, she was chasing butterflies by the Taiye Lake, slipped, and fell into his arms. Her voice was filled with grievance and dependence:
"Brother Cong, it hurts!"
But at this moment, the hem of her plain dress was stained with mud, and her hair was scattered and stuck to her forehead. She looked so terrified and helpless.
Helian Cong felt his legs involuntarily walk towards Su Xianrou, and his voice was so soft that he was afraid it would disturb him:
"Rou'er, don't be afraid, Brother Cong is here!"
Su Qinyao clenched her fists in anger. She winked at Chu Jin: If Helian Cong releases Su Xianrou privately, then this woman will be executed on the spot!
A moment later, Helian Cong had already walked to Su Xianrou's side.
When the two soldiers saw that it was the emperor, they dared not stop him and retreated quickly.
Helian Cong grabbed Su Xianrou's arm, and the deep affection in his eyes almost drowned her:
"Rou'er..."
But at the moment when he closed his arms and wanted to hold the beauty in his arms, a cold light suddenly appeared in Su Xianrou's lowered eyes, and a short blade slipped out of her sleeve and stabbed fiercely into Helian Cong's chest!
