Chapter 449: The Art of Estrangement
Xiyan looked at the tense situation between the two and her mind raced.
She knew that what Xiao Beicheng was most proud of was his power and what he feared most was losing control, especially those people and things that he thought he had already controlled but were secretly out of control.
"Xiao Beicheng, you are really calculating, but you also overlooked one thing."
She suddenly chuckled:
"In tomorrow's battle, if Helian Feng and his men win, they will definitely take advantage of the chaos to eliminate you, this 'hidden danger'; if they lose, Helian Feng is Xiao Nanyan's biological brother after all. Xiao Nanyan saved Helian Feng's life in the Nanzhao Soul-Locking Forest, but you are the person Xiao Nanyan wants to kill the most! Xiao Beicheng, no matter who wins, you must die!"
Xiao Beicheng's expression changed slightly. This little girl could actually see through his thoughts.
Xiyan turned to look at Su Qinyao again:
"Su Qinyao, you're so conceited about your cleverness. I bet you don't know that it was your good daughter who, under your name, bribed Zhu Ling to kill me out of spite. If I die, she'll put the blame on you and alienate the mother-son relationship between you and Helian Feng. It seems that Helian Shu is quite critical of you, the Queen Mother!"
Su Qinyao's expression suddenly changed, she didn't believe it:
"Bitch, stop talking nonsense!"
She was feeling uneasy tonight, as if something big was going to happen.
According to the personal maid Qiuyu, Helian Feng went to the military camp and prepared to leave the city for a decisive battle tomorrow.
While he is not in the palace, nothing can happen to that woman. No matter how hateful Xiyan is, she is still a most advantageous chess piece, and she must not fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.
She was somewhat worried, so she sent an order to the palace commander Yan Feng, who brought more than a hundred assassins to surround the Purple Palace tightly. However, when they were halfway there, they heard that the Purple Palace was on fire.
A spy reported that someone had sneaked into the imperial garden, so she brought people to check it out. Unexpectedly, she met Xiyan and Xiao Beicheng there.
Looking at the situation in front of her, Su Qinyao naturally thought that Xiao Beicheng had held Xiyan hostage here.
Seeing Su Qinyao's disbelief, Xiyan felt a wave of scorn in her heart. This once vicious queen was probably going to fall into the hands of her own daughter.
"Su Qinyao, Xiao Beicheng wants to keep me firmly in his control so that he can threaten Helian Feng and Xiao Nanyan's forces and remain invincible. If he is not eliminated now, he will be the death warrant for you and Helian Feng when the war subsides tomorrow!"
Su Qinyao was indeed angered by Xiyan's words.
Originally, she just wanted to scare Xiao Beicheng away, but at this moment, she wanted to kill him.
Before, they did not touch Xiao Beicheng because they wanted to keep him to deal with Xiao Nanyue, but now Xiao Nanyue was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. Instead, Xiao Beicheng became her biggest worry.
Xiao Nanyan had no hatred towards the Helian family, but Xiao Beicheng hated the Helian family to the core.
People like this must be killed after they have been used up.
Today, she brought so many masters from the imperial palace with her. Could it be that they are still no match for the aging Xiao Beicheng?
"shut up!"
Xiao Beicheng saw the murderous intent in Su Qinyao's eyes, and guessed Xiyan's intention to alienate him, and said angrily:
"How dare a young girl like you fan the flames here! You won't be able to escape tonight!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his big hand and pounced towards Xi Yan.
How could Su Qinyao let him succeed? She immediately shouted:
"Stop him!"
"Yes, sir."
Yan Feng took the order and waved his hand behind him:
"Set up the formation!"
From the crowd, forty-nine palace masters stepped out and instantly formed a tight formation, surrounding Xiao Beicheng.
It turned out that Su Qinyao had been on guard against Xiao Beicheng for a long time. These days, she secretly ordered Yan Feng to summon the masters of the palace to practice formations day and night in order to prevent him from retaliating.
Now Xiao Beicheng dared to snatch people away blatantly at this time, obviously he did not take them mother and son seriously.
"For the sake of my son's kingdom, I will no longer be afraid of you today."
Su Qinyao said sternly, "Xiao Beicheng, since you want to ruin our plan, don't blame me for being ruthless tonight. I'll get rid of you, my biggest worry, first."
Xiao Beicheng's eyes darkened:
"Bitch! It seems you're determined to break up with me? Well, let me see how powerful the skills you've been secretly practicing these days are!"
"Kill him!"
At Su Qinyao's command, forty-nine palace masters quickly changed their formation.
They held long swords in their hands, their steps intertwined, instantly forming an impenetrable formation, trapping Xiao Beicheng firmly in the center. The swords flashed coldly in the light of the torches, and murderous intent was surging.
Seeing this, Xiao Beicheng sneered and drew the long sword from his waist:
"You have such a petty trick, and you dare to show off in front of me?"
Before he finished speaking, he swung his sword towards the nearest master. The sword cut through the air with a sharp sound of wind, but was cleverly avoided by the opponent.
Immediately afterwards, the other masters attacked together, and the flashes of swords and shadows of knives intertwined into a big net, attacking Xiao Beicheng.
Xiao Beicheng is a martial arts expert with agility. He dodges left and right in the formation, swinging his sword so tightly that masters are often forced to retreat by him.
But this formation was unpredictable. The forty-nine people cooperated with each other tacitly. When one person was attacked, the others would immediately take up the attack, always trapping him in the center of the formation.
For a moment, the sound of swords clashing was endless in the imperial garden, and the flickering flames reflected the cruelty and determination on everyone's face.
Xiyan watched coldly, and then her body gradually disappeared into the darkness.
She knew this was her only chance to escape.
