Chapter 273 Xiao Nanyan, today we will fight to the death!
When Su Qinyao saw that Fu Yunqing had come to rescue with a group of people, her face changed drastically:
"Fu Yunqing, didn't you lead your troops to seize Yandu?"
Fu Yunqing chuckled:
"Empress, this is all thanks to Nan Yan's brilliant plan, called 'Playing Tricks on the Princes with Fire'?"
"What's the meaning?"
"The fire in Yandu was also fake. Nan Yan ordered a group of people to pretend to be bandits from Northern Cang and break into the palace. The emperor, empress, crown prince, and others all came to Yunqiu. The palace was in chaos. I led my men, under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion, and took away the princess and several princes, secretly sending them to Yunqiu.
In fact, all you heard about Yandu being occupied came from Princess Helian Shu. The small group of people I brought into Yandu were just servants in disguise. A woman like the princess couldn't tell the difference. And the real Nanyan troops never entered Yandu at all!
Su Qinyao was shocked:
"If it's fake, where would the shouting and killing sounds come from?"
Fu Yunqing chuckled, "That wasn't a cry of killing. I ordered a fire to be lit at Guanhai Tower, the highest point in the Yandu Imperial Palace. I then ordered the gongs and buckets to be struck, and loudly shouted "fire" throughout the palace. Yunqiu is quite far from Yandu, but seeing the fire, the clashing of metal against the gongs and buckets, mixed with the shouts of people running around to tell each other, and since you heard Helian Shu's words first, you naturally thought Yandu had fallen into my hands."
Xiao Nanyan's eyes were dark and cold:
"Aunt, this is what the military strategists say: openly repair the plank road, secretly cross Chencang, with emptiness within strength, and strength within emptiness. If Nan Yan really ordered his men to lead the troops to attack Yandu, wouldn't it be an open rebellion and the indiscriminate killing of innocent people? He would be cursed for generations to come and be regarded as a traitor.
Now, Yun Qing has brought people here to protect the young princes from being persecuted by you, the Queen, and the Crown Prince. After all, the Crown Prince shot his own father in public, which is a blatant crime of treason!
Su Qinyao was so angry that her face turned pale: "Xiao Nanyan, you are so despicable!"
"As for meanness, she's not even a fraction as mean as my aunt."
Helian Feng could no longer suppress his anger and shouted:
"Xiao Nanyan, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have caused my father's death. Today, I swear to take your life!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped off the hunting platform, and the long sword in his hand cut through the night wind and headed straight for Xiao Nanyue.
Han Xiao and Mo Ren hurriedly blocked with their swords, but were intercepted by Ming Ying and Zou Xu who rushed down to protect their master. The four of them clashed in a fight with swords and sabers, and sparks flew all over the ground.
Xiao Nanyan dodged Helian Feng's sword and pushed Xiyan in his arms towards Fu Yunqing:
"Protect her!"
Then, the Jinghong sword in his hand collided with Helian Feng's long sword, making a sharp golden sound.
When Su Qinyao saw her son rushing towards the enemy, she immediately ordered Yan Feng:
"Abandon the arrows, switch to a close attack, and kill Xiao Nanyan for me!"
How dare we disobey the Queen's order?
The soldiers responded with roars, throwing down their bows and arrows and drawing their swords and spears. A black crowd of people swarmed over like ants flocking to meat.
Fu Yunqing waved his hand, and the armored army behind him rushed forward. The huge Yunqiu enclosure was filled with shouts of killing and instantly turned into a meat grinder.
At this time, Xuan Yue rushed out from the chaotic army with a whip in hand, the tip of the whip pointed directly at the tip of Fu Yunqing's nose:
"If you were just a step later, I would have been shot like a hedgehog!"
Fu Yunqing chuckled and used the tip of his sword to knock down an arrow that was shot at Xuan Yue:
"Although you weren't shot into a hedgehog, you look more like a little animal with its fur standing on end."
"I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Xuan Yue spat lightly, but took the opportunity to move closer to him, with a smile that could not be hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
After a day of desperate fighting, and several times thinking he was dead, Xuan Yue finally saw his beloved and felt a sweetness in his heart. The more he looked at Fu Yunqing, the more he admired her.
The ugly slaves Bi Yue and Xiu Hua also emerged from the battle group and patted Fu Yunqing on the shoulder, laughing:
"Our Prince Consort is really capable. He calmed the situation down the moment he arrived."
Fu Yunqing felt a burning sensation on his shoulder from Bi Yue's slap, and thought to himself:
Just because of you two ugly guys, I would rather die than go to Beicang!
…
The cloud hill in the twilight has become a Shura field.
The armored army under Xiao Nanyue and the imperial guards led by Helian Feng were fighting each other. The sound of weapons clashing mixed with screams echoed throughout the valley.
Xiao Nanyue held the Jinghong Sword in his hand and attacked left and right, with blood splattering everywhere where the sword blade flew.
Helian Feng was also blood-thirsty. His long sword swept down several armored soldiers with a bloody wind, and every step he took was in a pool of blood.
Until the two of them started fighting again.
"Xiao Nanyan, today, we will fight to the death!"
Helian Feng leaped up and slashed down with his sword like a raging wave, carrying a force as powerful as thunder.
Xiao Nanyue dodged sideways and fought back.
Today's Helian Feng is no longer the gentle and elegant man he used to be. Because of Helian Cong's death, he seems to have changed his temperament. His moves are brutal and ruthless, leaving no room for maneuver. Every sword strike is aimed at Xiao Nanyue's fatal spot, and he even fights in a way that will result in both sides suffering losses and dying together.
Xiao Nanyue had been mindful of Helian Cong's last words and had been showing mercy in his sword moves, but was forced into danger by Helian Feng and he couldn't help but use his true energy.
Looking around, in just less than an hour, countless people were killed and wounded. These dead soldiers were all the people of Apocalypse.
Xiao Nanyue knew that if Helian Feng was not restrained today, more people would die in this war.
Well, he, Xiao Nanyan, has never been a good man. Since Helian Feng is seeking his own death, he can only do it reluctantly.
"Helian Feng, do you really think that this king dare not kill you?"
