Chapter 293 What nonsense are you talking about? I came here to save her...
The person who rushed into the dark room was none other than the former crown prince Helian Feng.
He rushed into the hall holding a blood-stained sword. Just as he stepped to the secret door, he saw the hem of Xiyan's skirt disappear into the suddenly closed dark pit. The slender white hair was like a poisoned needle, piercing his eyes fiercely.
The long sword almost fell to the ground. He froze at the door for a long time, and his ears were still echoing with what Xiyan said to him three days ago, "I have never had any feelings for you, only gratitude."
He hated and resented her, but deep down, she was still in his heart, and he vowed in his heart that he must take her back.
These days, he has been hiding in Chiyu Peak and has not gone to Liangzhou.
At Chiyu Peak, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed by his mother. The mountains here are dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. So, although Xiao Nanyue knew that they were hiding here, he had too many important matters to deal with in the past few days and had no time to deal with them.
Su Qinyao took advantage of these few days to send out many secret guards to contact the Su family in the capital, and recruited tens of thousands of soldiers, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.
As for Helian Feng, he was injured and after three days of recuperation, he was almost recovered, but the anger in his heart was still hard to get rid of.
He was the good Prince Tianqi, who should have inherited the throne, but now he has become a stray dog and is accused of patricide. His beloved woman has once again fallen into the arms of the enemy. How can he not hate him?
Even his confidant Chu Jin abandoned him that day in Yunqiu for a assassin under Xiao Nanyue, and he felt resentful.
However, Chu Jin has followed him for many years after all, and the two are as close as brothers. For now, Helian Feng does not want to make things difficult for him. Besides, Chu Jin's poison techniques and abilities can still be used by him.
For the past two days, he had been locking himself in the house to recuperate and refusing visitors. He had no idea that Xiyan was captured by Xiao Beicheng after they were defeated.
It was not until last night that Su Qinyao called him over for a talk.
Only then did I know that Xiao Beicheng had captured Xi Yan and exchanged military tokens at Feiyun Temple at noon today.
Helian Feng thought that Xiao Nanyan was so cold-blooded and heartless that he would never really save Xiyan. Maybe he would abandon her at the critical moment.
Moreover, he could also take advantage of this opportunity to take back the military command.
Because Helian Feng knew in his heart that no matter whether the military token fell into the hands of Xiao Nanyue or Xiao Beicheng, neither of them would have any chance of survival.
Xiao Beicheng hated the Helian family and had always wanted to usurp the throne. I'm afraid that everyone in the Helian lineage, except Shu'er, was on his killing list.
And how could Xiao Nanyue give up the ready-made throne? He would definitely not show mercy to his men.
So, he asked Su Qinyao for permission, took a team of people and set off overnight, arriving at Feiyun Temple at noon.
The only thing Helian Feng didn't know was that his good mother Su Qinyao asked everyone to hide the most crucial sentence: Xiao Beicheng only allowed Xiao Nanyan to go to the appointment alone, otherwise he would kill Xiyan.
Su Qinyao hated the woman who had confused her son's mind. If it weren't for her, her son wouldn't have had so many concerns and wouldn't have failed so miserably.
Moreover, she also has her own wishful thinking.
At her age, there was nothing she couldn't see clearly. With just one glance, she knew that Xiao Nanyan, like his son, was truly in love with that woman.
If Xiyan died this time, Xiao Nanyue would be in great confusion, allowing Helian Feng to take the opportunity to take back the military command, command the world, and regain control of Yandu.
It would be best to take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Beicheng.
Su Qinyao was deeply afraid of Xiao Beicheng. If the world fell into his hands, the first person he would kill would be Xiao Nanyue, followed by her and her son Helian Feng. After all, Xiao Beicheng hated the Helian lineage the most.
She didn't even tell her beloved daughter Helian Shu about this operation.
Ever since the battle at Yunqiu, her daughter always looked at her with a cold expression, hiding the coldness in her eyes, which made her inexplicably frightened.
Su Qinyao understood that when she ordered the arrows to be shot three days ago, it was equivalent to building a deep wall between herself and her daughter.
She was worried that her daughter would reveal the news to Xiao Beicheng. Helian Shu trusted Xiao Beicheng much more than she did.
Giving birth to a girl will ultimately make her extroverted.
She used to side with Xiao Nanyan, and now she sides with Xiao Beicheng. In the end, she cannot be on the same page with her as a mother.
Su Qinyao was not afraid of her daughter resenting her——
Hate it if you want, the road to imperial power is to step on corpses. In order for her Feng'er to sit on the throne, she can give up everything.
…
As for Helian Feng, he didn't expect Xiyan to be so resolute, and why should the man who hurt her still be alive?
At this moment, he was filled with hatred and raised his sword to slash at Xiao Nanyue.
Xiao Nanyan heard the sound of the sword and slowly turned his head. Under his messy hair, his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed. He suddenly picked up the Jinghong Sword and pressed down the long sword in Helian Feng's hand. His voice was hoarse:
"Helian Feng, it turned out to be you! Do you know that everything was part of my plan? I was just a step away from saving her. It was you who rushed here with your men, making her think that I was truly heartless. Are you so impatient for her death?"
Helian Feng was slightly startled:
"Xiao Nanyan, what are you talking about? Are you crazy? I came here to save her..."
