Chapter 326 Find out if Princess Zhaoning is Xiyan
At the same time, Helian Feng and Chu Jin also set off for Nanzhao.
After Xiao Nanyue left Yandu, Xiao Beicheng's spy reported the news, and he immediately informed Helian Feng.
Helian Feng was a little puzzled:
"Xiao Nanyan left Yandu now. Isn't he afraid that I will take advantage of the situation and sneak in with my men? Why would he travel thousands of miles to Nanzhao?"
Xiao Beicheng leaned against the armchair and swayed gently. The candlelight cast light and dark lines on his face, but he always had a meaningful smile on his face.
Helian Feng raised his head suddenly, a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Could it be...Xiyan is in Nanzhao?"
"Your Highness, why don't you go and see for yourself? The answer will be revealed naturally."
"Then why don't we take advantage of the situation and attack Yandu directly?" Helian Feng stood up suddenly, and his brocade robe swept across the military diagram on the table.
"Innocent!"
Xiao Beicheng sneered, his eyes full of mockery:
"Xiao Nanyan dared to go to Nanzhao with only a few men. He had a perfect plan in place. Fu Yunqing holds the military command, and with 200,000 Xiao family soldiers on the alert, charging forward with such a small force would be like a moth to a flame."
He suddenly came closer and lowered his voice:
"Instead of attacking Yandu by force, why not go to Nanzhao? There, we can find an opportunity to kill Xiao Nanyan. The Xiao family army will be leaderless, and I, the old master, can reappear and turn the tide. Then, we can jointly attack Yandu. How can Fu Yunqing be a match for us?"
Helian Feng frowned:
"You want me to kill Xiao Nanyan in Nanzhao?"
"Yu Tianqi, I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity. Of course, Your Highness can also choose to remain inactive."
Xiao Beicheng nonchalantly played with the jade pendant on his waist: "After all, the woman and child he's thinking about have nothing to do with you."
These words were like a thorn, piercing Helian Feng's heart.
He paced back and forth, the soles of his boots making a thudding sound on the blue bricks - if Xiao Nanyan really left for Xiyan, and if Xiyan was not dead and they reconciled, wouldn't he have no chance in this life?
But once she leaves, how can he feel at ease if his mother stays with Xiao Beicheng?
That night, Helian Feng came to Su Qinyao's room and expressed his concerns.
A sinister smile appeared on Su Qinyao's face:
"Go, you must go. If you can kill Xiao Nanyan, that would be great, but if you can't..."
She grabbed her son's hand, her nails almost digging into the flesh:
"Find out if that Princess Zhaoning is Xiyan. If she is, if we catch her in our hands, even if Xiao Nanyan has thousands of troops, he will have to sacrifice his life in exchange."
Her voice suddenly turned harsh, and every word was etched with blood:
"Your uncle, Su Lantian, was clearly secretly poisoned by Xiao Nanyan some time ago, yet he insisted on publicly declaring that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment! He wants to drag my Su family into a grave with that bitch Su Xianrou. Next, he's going to attack the Queen Mother!"
The candlelight flickered in her eyes, reflecting twisted hatred:
"Thankfully, the disappearance of that little bitch Xiyan has thrown him off balance, leaving him preoccupied with searching for her. This has given us a chance to breathe. Feng'er, you must seize this opportunity. If Xiao Nanyan and Jiangshan Beauty are in our grasp, we mother and son won't even have our remains."
"I understand."
"Call Chu Jin and ask him to go with you."
Su Qinyao let go of her hand and leaned back on the brocade cushion, her tone becoming increasingly cold and hard:
"Chu Jin has become half-human, half-ghost for a woman. How despicable. For the sake of his father, Chu Shang, the Queen Mother will not bother with him. The fault lies with that enchantress Zi Sha. She is truly despicable. If she were also in Nan Zhao, I would find an opportunity to kill her."
Helian Feng's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't respond.
After a while, there was a hint of worry in his eyes:
"Mother, after I leave, will Xiao Beicheng harm you?"
Su Qinyao sneered:
"He wants to kill the Queen Mother. Can you stop him? Do you really think he'll remember Shu'er's feelings? That man's heart is crueler than a scorpion. He just wants to use the Queen Mother as a pawn to restrain you. We can use each other for our own benefit. Once we get rid of Xiao Nanyan, this great threat, we can settle the score with him."
She slowly looked out the window, gritting her teeth.
"The road must be taken step by step; revenge must be taken one by one."
Helian Feng looked at Su Qinyao with a vicious expression, and a rusty taste rose in his throat.
Before long, everything changed. His father died, his mother was no longer as gentle as before, and Helian Feng also drifted further and further away from his original intention.
