Chapter 176 Your courage is growing
For a moment, Xiao Nanyue was forced into a desperate situation, fighting like a trapped beast. The air was filled with the smell of rust and blood, and the battle became more and more intense.
Although Helian Shu was not good at martial arts, she could see the clues. It was clear that her mother's people wanted to kill Xiao Nanyan. She couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Mother, what are you doing?"
Seeing the guards' spear tips flickering and spitting out cold light, clearly they were targeting Xiao Nanyan's blood, and Xiao Nanyan killed dozens of guards in an instant, how could this be called "martial arts instruction"?
Her fingertips gripping the hem of her skirt trembled slightly, and her rouge-red lips lost their color due to fear.
Su Qinyao glanced at her daughter, who was looking worried, and smiled.
"Shu'er, your mother will definitely find a better husband for you in the future!"
"Ah!" Helian Shu saw the murderous intent in her mother's eyes and felt her heart skip a beat.
Helian Shu was raised in the deep palace since childhood, with fine clothes and delicious food, and she knew nothing about the affairs of the court.
She only thought that Xiao Nanyan was her cousin, so outstanding, and the marriage was arranged by her mother and aunt, so it was a match made in heaven. But why did her mother want to kill her future husband?
"Mother, you are crazy!"
Helian Shu stumbled back half a step, the tassels in her hair trembling and hitting her forehead:
"He is your nephew and also Shu'er's sweetheart! Shu'er will never marry anyone else in her life!"
She looked at the dark figure in the formation, surrounded by a sea of gunfire, which looked extremely dangerous, and a sudden taste of rust rose in her throat.
Su Qinyao suddenly grabbed her daughter's wrist, leaving purple marks on her snow-white skin with her armor, and lowered her voice:
"Stupid! If he lives, the entire Helian Imperial Family will become his puppets!"
Su Qinyao's eyes burned with a crazy light:
"The prince consort that your mother will find for you in the future will definitely be a hundred times better than him..."
"I don't want it! I only want Xiao Nanyan!"
Helian Shu suddenly screamed and shook off her mother's hand, stumbling towards the formation:
"Stop! All of you, stop it!"
"Stop her! You ignorant thing!"
Su Qinyao shouted angrily, and the two maids beside her went up and grabbed Helian Shu's arms tightly.
"Let me go! Mother, you promised to give Shu'er to him. You can't kill him...you can't..."
Her cries were mixed with the roar of weapons clashing in the formation. She watched as Xiao Nanyue's sword pierced another guard's throat, and the warm blood splattered on his pale face, like a strange flower blooming.
At this critical moment, a golden bell suddenly rang outside the crowd, and a sharp cry was heard:
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Immediately, the yellow umbrella separated the crowd like a raging wave.
Emperor Helian Cong's bright yellow dragon robe fluttered in the wind as he strode forward, the white jade beads on his crown tassels swaying in sharp arcs.
"Don't stop yet!"
The emperor's voice was like a loud bell, shaking the air. The Seven Star Big Dipper Formation, which was originally surging like a tide, suddenly stagnated.
Forty-nine black iron spears were hanging in the air. Xiao Nanyue stepped out and turned around to see that not only Helian Cong had come, but also Grand Master Ming Yuan and his son Fu Yunqing, who were standing on both sides and following closely.
The moment Fu Yunqing and Xiao Nanyan's eyes met, they actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s not too late.
When everyone saw the emperor coming, they all knelt down:
"Your Majesty!"
Su Qinyao's expression suddenly changed.
I thought I could get rid of Xiao Nanyue before Helian Cong returned to the palace, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the father and son of the Fu family standing beside the imperial carriage. The old fox Fu Mingyuan smiled and twirled his beard, which clearly announced the failure of his plan.
It seems that this father and son must have tipped off Helian Cong. How despicable!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Su Qinyao suppressed her shock and anger, stepped down from the phoenix chariot with lotus steps, walked up to Helian Cong, and bowed gracefully.
Xiao Nanyan also sheathed his sword, straightened his clothes, walked up to Helian Cong, and leaned forward slightly:
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Xiao Nanyan!"
Helian Cong's face was gloomy and frightening. His eyes wandered between Su Qinyao and Xiao Nanyan's faces and he said in a cold voice:
"What's going on?"
Su Qinyao forced a smile:
"Your Majesty, I simply asked Nan Yan to teach the guards martial arts. Yan Feng and his men have been practicing the Seven Stars Big Dipper Formation for a long time, but they still can't get the hang of it. Now that Nan Yan has entered the palace, I'm going to ask him for some pointers."
Helian Cong snorted coldly: "Since when did the Queen become interested in arranging troops and battle formations?"
Su Qinyao smiled awkwardly:
"It was just a whim."
Helian Cong's eyes were as sharp as torches as he swept over the corpses on the ground:
"A sudden impulse? And yet the Dragon Court is stained with blood. If this gets out, how will I explain it to the world?"
Xiao Nanyan curled his lips slightly:
"The minister of resentment failed!"
Helian Cong ignored Xiao Nanyan and looked at Su Qinyao's pale face again, snorting coldly:
"You're getting bolder!"
