Chapter 437 Why not just throw him to death?
Seeing this, Xiyan was shocked. She felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She turned around and chased after him.
Mingying and Zou Xu hurriedly followed behind and entangled her tightly outside the tent.
Xiyan was extremely anxious and her sword moves became more and more fierce, but she could not get rid of the entanglement of the two people.
Chu Jin caught a glimpse of Xiao Beicheng rushing out of the tent, and his eyes were filled with anger when he saw his son being held hostage by him.
He suddenly blocked Helian Feng's sword, and leaped up with the force, shouting at Xiao Beicheng:
"Let Yue'er go!"
At this time, Manluo had just gone to the rear camp to clear away most of the poisonous smoke, and was rushing over to support Xiyan. She happened to see Xiao Beicheng carrying two children out of the tent.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her voice changed, and she cursed:
"Xiao Beicheng, if you dare to hurt them, I will cut you into pieces and turn your bones into ashes!"
But Xiao Beicheng was holding the child hostage, with his big hand on the child's vital point. Everyone was afraid to take action, and no one dared to step forward rashly.
Yin'er was so scared that she started crying loudly, waving her little hands constantly; Chu Yue didn't cry, but just opened his big black eyes and looked at the chaos in front of him in confusion, with some dust on his little face.
Xiao Beicheng looked around at the people who had gathered around him, a sinister smile on his face. He shook Chu Yue under his armpit, his tone frivolous but with a deadly threat:
"Okay, your son, there's no use for me keeping him. Xiao Nanyan only cares about his precious daughter, so why would he care about the life or death of this little brat?"
He paused, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes: "Why not throw him to death?"
Helian Feng was shocked and shouted angrily: "Xiao Beicheng, don't hurt him!"
"You dare!"
Chu Jin and Man Luo shouted in unison, and took a step forward at the same time, but were forced back by Xiao Beicheng's cold eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Beicheng was like a cold-faced Shura, ignoring everyone. He suddenly raised Chu Yue in his right hand high up and smashed it towards the stone wall of the lookout tower not far behind him.
The stone wall was made of hard bluestone with sharp edges and corners. If Yue'er really hit it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, everyone was still dozens of steps away from him, with a chaotic crowd between them, so it was too late to rescue him.
Chu Jin's eyes were bloodshot, and Man Luo's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the watchtower and jumped down as fast as an arrow.
The man moved incredibly fast, leaving a trail of shadow in the air. Just when Chu Yue was about to hit the stone wall, he steadily stretched out his arms and caught his small body in his arms.
Everyone looked closely and saw that the person who caught Chu Yue was none other than the Regent of Tianqi - Xiao Nanyan.
But he landed steadily with the child in his arms, then quickly stepped back a few steps and handed Chu Yue in his arms to Manluo:
"Your son."
Manluo was overjoyed. With shaking hands, she took her son. Her lips trembled and she spoke incoherently:
"Thank you...thank you, Your Highness!"
She hugged Chu Yue tightly in her arms, kissed him again and again, choked with sobs and comforted him, tears mixed with joy rolling down her cheeks.
Chu Jin stood aside, still in shock, staring at Xiao Nanyue with complicated eyes.
Although he hated this man for killing his father, when it came down to it, it was all due to Xiao Beicheng's evil scheme.
Now Xiao Nanyan had saved his son again. This kindness filled him with mixed emotions. He finally suppressed his turbulent emotions and whispered:
"Thank you very much."
Xiao Nanyan didn't respond, but nodded slightly. Then he turned around, his eyes first sweeping over Helian Feng like an icy blade, and finally settling on Xiao Beicheng. His voice was as cold as if it had been poisoned:
"Let Yin'er go!"
At this moment, Mingying and Zou Xu saw that the situation was not good, so they stopped and ran to Helian Feng's side, not daring to act rashly.
Xi Yan finally got rid of the two of them and ran to Xiao Nanyan's side. Her face was as pale as paper, tears in her eyes, she grabbed his sleeve tightly, and her voice was full of pleading:
"Please...you must save Yin'er!"
Xiao Nanyue held her cold hand with his backhand, and the warmth of his palm came through the fabric, giving her a little support.
He looked at Yin'er who was crying in Xiao Beicheng's arms, his eyes as dark as the night, and the pressure emanating from his body made the air seem to solidify - everyone could see that this prince who had just broken through the air was extremely angry.
But he still calmed down and said coldly:
"Release Yin'er, and I will grant any conditions you ask for."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Beicheng burst into laughter. His laughter was sharp and piercing, full of sarcasm:
"Xiao Nanyan, you've behaved yourself this time. You no longer dare to speak so nonchalantly like before. It seems you've finally learned how to love. Or perhaps, this little kid and Xiyan are more important to you than the whole country."
Xiao Nanyan pursed his lips tightly, his jawline tensed, his eyes filled with suppressed anger, but he patiently asked:
"Why, you don't agree? Tell me, what do you want in exchange for releasing the child?"
Xiao Beicheng's eyes glanced back and forth between the pale-faced Xi Yan and Xiao Nanyan, a sinister smile curling up at the corner of his mouth:
"I suddenly thought of a fun game. Don't you love this woman? And do you also love this little girl? Then I want to see if they are really more important to you than life itself."
After he finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his arms and threw it casually. The dagger fell at Xiyan's feet with a "clang" sound, flashing with a cold light.
"If you want to save your daughter, there is only one condition,"
Xiao Beicheng's voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue:
"That is, pick up the dagger and stab him hard!"
