He was waving his hands and feet in the air, and started shouting without any regard for etiquette!
But those who hid here at this time were all weak young ladies. If they could protect themselves, they would not hide. Seeing the precedent of Xing Jindie, the others lay down even more, not even daring to make a sound, which made Xing Jindie's screams even more harsh and sharp!
"Pa!" Xing Jindie's shout was met with not a response but a harsh slap in the face. Half of Xing Jindie's face suddenly swelled up, and a streak of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She opened her lips and spit out a tooth, which was enough to prove that the killer must have used all his strength!
After being beaten, Xing Jindie became much more obedient. She knew that it was useless to struggle at the moment, so it would be better for her to stay quiet, and perhaps she could suffer less!
"Useless woman, kill her!" After the killer saw Xing Jindie's appearance clearly, a bloodthirsty light suddenly appeared in his ferocious eyes. He immediately raised his long sword with his other hand, intending to stab Xing Jindie in the heart!
"No..., no..., I..., I know there are other people hiding here!" Xing Jindie was so scared when she saw the cold sword that she started talking nonsense, and a stream of yellow liquid slowly flowed from her skirt, accompanied by a smell of urine!
Qu Feiqing looked up in surprise and found that Xing Jindie was frightened and even incontinent!
"Speak!" The killer obviously had no patience. He pulled Xing Jindie's hand and shook it slightly. Xing Jindie's body then swayed in the air like a wind chime!
However, facing an incontinent woman, the killer threw her away with disgust in his eyes, pointed at Xing Jindie's heart, and waited for her to speak!
Xing Jindie finally landed on the ground, but because she was already scared silly, she almost fell to the ground. However, the long sword in front of her was not taken away, so Xing Jindie did not dare to relax for a moment. She immediately looked in the direction of Yun Qianmeng, and suddenly pointed at Yun Qianmeng and said loudly, "The eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion is hiding here, and..., wu..." But before she could say Qu Feiqing's name, Yun Qianmeng suddenly kicked Xing Jindie's ankle, breaking her ankle. Xing Jindie fell to the ground in pain, holding her left foot and rolling on the ground!
Then, Yun Qianmeng immediately let go of Qu Feiqing's hand, pressed Qu Feiqing's head hard, stood up slowly, and faced several armed killers with cold eyes!
The killer who had captured Xing Jindie earlier thought Xing Jindie was too noisy, so he stabbed her with a sword to kill her. However, Xing Jindie was eager to survive. She even ignored the pain in her body and grabbed the girl next to her to block her. The girl was stabbed in the chest and instantly became a dead soul under the sword. The other three girls were so scared that they covered their mouths and retreated, unwilling to be Xing Jindie's human shield anymore!
Yun Qianmeng saw Xing Jindie being so selfish, and a flash of disgust flashed across her eyes. Even if such a person was killed by the killer today, I'm afraid no one would speak up for her!
"Are you the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yun's Mansion?" When several killers saw Yun Ganmeng show up automatically, they were not as rude as they were to Xing Jindie. Instead, they asked about her identity first!
Yun Ganmeng noticed something strange in their expressions, and he knew that these killers were not killing blindly. They were just looking for someone, so he said in a cold voice, "Yes!" 1, "Since you are the eldest lady of Prime Minister Yun's Mansion, please come with us!" One of the killers also ordered Yun Qianmeng in a cold voice!
"Who are you? Why should I go with you?" Yun Qianmeng sneered. She was not frightened by Shi Fang's murderous aura at all. Instead, her eyes were filled with contempt, which made the killers stunned. They didn't expect that there was such a fierce woman in Xi Chu!
"It doesn't matter who we are! As long as Miss Yun comes with us, I will spare the lives of the other people in these flowers!" At this time, an extremely cold voice came from far away. When the killers heard the voice, they stood in line and saluted the man with great fear!
Yun Qianmeng looked over, but the other person was masked. He was taller and stronger than the men from Western Chu, and his murderous aura was far beyond the reach of the killers in front of him!
"You have killed people like crazy, so why should I believe your guarantee? How can a person who doesn't even dare to show his true face be qualified to negotiate with others?" However, Yun Qianmeng had seen too many drug lords in his previous life. Although he was surprised by this person's viciousness, he was not afraid. He retorted with a sneer!
"Do you think you still have a choice?" The man didn't even discuss the conditions anymore. He just gave the killers a look, and several of them stepped forward at the same time to catch Yun Qianmeng!
"You are not allowed to touch the young lady!" At this time, Yuan Dong, Ying Xia and Mu Chun stood up at the same time, surrounding Yun Qianmeng. Yuan Dong even pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and pointed it at the group of killers!
"Don't you think that bullying a few weak women is very ungraceful?" At this time, even Rong Yunhe, who was hiding opposite, stood up. His already frozen eyes were staring coldly at the man in black who had his back to him!
1. A side note: Dear reader (reluctant to leave), I contacted customer service to inquire about this matter yesterday, but until midnight, the customer service did not reply to me at all. I am very sorry that I could not help you!
Shout, I want a meat ticket!
【87】
Seeing that there was a man hiding here, the masked man in black turned his sinister eyes to Rong Yunhe. After seeing Rong Yunhe's white hair, a slight surprise flashed across his face, and then he returned to his ruthless expression and taunted, "I'm not such a coward as to hide here with a group of women!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng frowned slightly, and looked at the masked man's back with disapproval. She said in a cold voice, "Survival is a human instinct. Do I have to stand in front of you, stretching my neck and asking you to swing your knife? Is this what manliness means? You are the one holding a sharp weapon now, and you naturally have the power of life and death over us unarmed people. But if our roles were reversed, I'm afraid your behavior would be even more ridiculous!"
Yun Qianmeng's rhetorical questions startled the masked man for a moment, and he then sneered at her and said arrogantly, "No wonder you've fooled my Tenth Brother around so much, Yun Qianmeng. You truly do have a sharp tongue." As soon as the masked man's words came out, Yun Qianmeng was startled. Seeing how these black-clad assassins had slaughtered the people of Western Chu without mercy today, and the fact that he had just mentioned "Tenth Brother," Yun Qianmeng immediately thought of the Tenth Prince of Northern Qi who had attacked her some time ago!
In this case, this person must also be a member of the royal family. However, Yun Qianmeng knew very little about Northern Qi. Although he knew that the crown prince of Northern Qi was tyrannical, most members of the royal family were like that. It was just that each person gave a different impression on the surface. Therefore, it was difficult to guess this person's true identity!
Rong Yunhe, however, spoke calmly and indifferently. "Please be mindful of your words, sir. Miss Yun is a daughter of a wealthy family. How could she possibly have met a stranger? Don't mistake the wrong person for the wrong person! Furthermore, you have slaughtered innocent people in Kyoto. Do you think Emperor Yugan will let you go? And how could those nobles you slaughtered let you go? I'm afraid the city guards are already here. I advise you to lay down your butcher knife and refrain from further slaughter!"
"You recognized the wrong person, killed the wrong person? What Master Rong said is really wonderful! But, in my eyes, even if you recognized the wrong person, killed the wrong person, it is just a trivial matter not worth mentioning! Master Rong, if you say so, you must be scared! If you are scared, why bother to be a hero?" After the masked man finished speaking, he laughed wildly and coldly, scaring the young ladies hiding in the flowers so much that they curled up and trembled all over, but bit their lips tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear that they would become the next Xing Jindie!
Yun Gan dreamed that he said such inhumane words. There was a thin layer of ice in his eyes, and he pursed his lips tightly. He was thinking about how to save himself with a dying heart!
At this moment, Rong Yunhe spoke again. Yun Qianmeng saw how calmly he responded. He wasn't the least bit surprised by the other party's revelation of his identity. Instead, he displayed a maturity beyond his years. "You just didn't even spare the children. What do you call that? Even animals have a trace of compassion. How dare you be worse than them?"
As he spoke, Rong Yunhe quickly glanced at Yun Qianmeng, hinting at her to flee. However, the masked man was even quicker, having seen through Rong Yunhe's intentions long beforehand. He suddenly rushed in front of Yun Qianmeng, stretched out his long arm and grabbed her wrist, instantly pulling her out of the flowers. He then hugged Yun Qianmeng in his arms, and the long claws on his other hand were pressed against Yun Qianmeng's slender, snow-white neck. He sneered, "If you want to escape, let's see if you have the ability! There's no other person in the world who can survive after offending me!"
"Miss!" Yuan Dong and the others were terrified when they saw that Yun Qianmeng was easily abducted by that man under their protection. Yuan Dong suddenly stood up and tried to grab Yun Qianmeng, but the other killers immediately raised their swords and pointed them at Yuan Dong. However, Yuan Dong did not even care about his own life at this time, and immediately raised the dagger in his hand to fight with the killer who blocked his way!
"Everyone stay where you are!" Yun Ganmeng had never expected that the masked man was so agile. Fearing that Yuandong would fight him head-on, he shouted loudly. Yuandong was so scared that he immediately stopped his attack and obediently returned to his hiding place!
"Oh? The second one? That means, there is still someone in this world who can survive your sword? Qianmeng is very curious, what kind of person is it that is more powerful than you!" Yun Qianmeng then sneered at the masked man's words. Facing the cold sword on the neck, not to mention that some of the young ladies had already fainted from fear, even Rong Yunhe who could deal with the enemy calmly just now had a pale face. But Yun Qianmeng, the person involved, seemed to be unaware of it and said with a calm face.
However, before Yun Qianmeng could finish her words, she felt the long arm around her waist suddenly tighten, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She could hear the masked man's cruel growl in her ears, "Bitch, if you say something like that again, I'll kill this pretty boy right now! But, I really can't bear to let you go. You're much more valuable alive than dead!"
Before Yun Qianmeng could ask again, they heard footsteps coming from outside the village. The young ladies were delighted, thinking that reinforcements had arrived. Some even asked their maids to stick their heads out to look outside!
However, Yun Qianmeng and Rong Yunhe had gloomy faces. Listening to the extremely rhythmic footsteps, they could not tell whether it was the other party's people or reinforcements!
"Let me go! You bastards, let this princess go!" Just when everyone thought that hope had come, they heard a woman struggling. Yun Qianmeng instantly recognized it as Hai Tian's voice. Her eyes suddenly darkened and she immediately thought to herself that something was wrong!
It seems that this group of killers came prepared. Even the guards of the Sea King's Palace were no match for their attacks. It's not just because of their sudden sneak attacks. I'm afraid the martial arts of these killers are really not to be underestimated!
However, these people killed other noble daughters but only abducted Hai Tian from the guards. Could it be because Hai Chenxi was the commander-in-chief in the war between Western Chu and Northern Qi?
But just now, the masked man said that living was more meaningful than being dead. This sentence revealed some information that made Yun Qianmeng unable to guess the mystery for a while!
After all, if this masked man wanted to rescue the Tenth Prince of Northern Qi, he could have gone to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to rescue him. Instead of holding a weak woman like me, not only would he be tied up, but he would also be of no use!
What's more, Yun Qianmeng was not sure whether Chu Feiyang really let the Tenth Prince go as he said!
"Hmph, another noisy woman is captured! However, since you claim to be a princess, it seems that you have the capital to drive men crazy. It seems that you are Hai Chenxi's sister, Princess Hai Tian!" The masked man strangled Yun Qianmeng tightly, making her back stick tightly to his chest, but his eyes turned to look at Hai Tian. When he saw Hai Tian's beautiful face, even he, who is a ruthless killer, said a few words of praise!
At this time, Hai Tian, who was held under the armpit by a killer, appeared in front of everyone. Although her dress was a little messy and her hair had already been scattered, it did not diminish her innate beauty at all, and she still had the capital to attract men's attention!
However, Hai Tian was only thinking about breaking free from the killers and did not hear the masked man's praise at all, nor did she pay attention to the situation in front of her!
It was not until the killer threw her on the gravel ground without mercy that Hai Tian could see clearly the person standing in front of her!
"Yun Qianmeng, you actually have to die this day!" But the first words out of her mouth were full of gloating sarcasm!
Yun Qianmeng curled her lips into a smile and then retorted, "Your Highness seems to be even more embarrassed than this humble servant!"
Hearing Yun Qianmeng's ridicule, Hai Tian instantly jumped up from the ground as if she had stepped on a minefield. Her movements were so fast and agile that it was enough to make people sigh in admiration!
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng had caused the princess to lose her composure with just a few words, the masked man immediately loosened his grip on her slender waist and frivolously hooked his hand around her forehead, forcing her to turn around and face his bloodthirsty and brutal eyes. He said in a low voice, "You are indeed interesting! However, you seem to be very unpopular with others. Everyone wants to kill you!"
Rong Yunhe was furious when he saw the masked man doing such a shameless thing to Yun Qianmeng. He then shouted, "Shameless bastard, let her go! I will be your hostage!"
After saying that, Rong Yunhe rushed forward, but those killers were not just for show. Several of them surrounded Rong Yunhe. Although Rong Yunhe was a rich boy, he had learned some martial arts to protect himself since he was a child, which came in handy at this moment. Although the fight was a bit strenuous, it did not allow those killers to gain any advantage. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate, which made the masked man show a hint of surprise in his eyes!
But he gave a mean look to the killers guarding Yuan Dong and others, and those killers holding long swords immediately joined the fight!
Yun Gan dreamed that Rong Yunhe's response was becoming increasingly difficult and his movements were becoming increasingly sluggish. The hand hanging by his side immediately made a gesture to Yuan Dong behind him. While no one was guarding against them, Yuan Dong immediately rushed out like an arrow and joined the fight!
With Yuan Dong's joining, the burden on Rong Yunhe's shoulders was immediately lightened a lot, and he slowly regained his initial agility. However, the more he wanted to get close to Yun Qianmeng, the more those killers took him to the periphery!
Yun Qianmeng was paying attention to Rong Yunhe's battle situation while staring at the masked man behind her. She felt the strength of the fingers pinching her lower forehead relax a little. Yun Qianmeng quickly raised her hands to snatch the long sword from the man's hand, and then gave him a shoulder throw!
But the masked man seemed to have anticipated that Yun Ganmeng would not surrender obediently, and he deliberately let go of the hand holding the sword!
With a "mouth" sound, the tip of the sword went straight into the soil, and the handle trembled violently in the air, making an extremely dull whimpering sound!
Then the hand that was originally pinching Yun Qianmeng's small and delicate chin moved to her slender and graceful neck. With two fingers gently exerting force, he instantly pinched Yun Qianmeng's throat, making her unable to make a sound!
"Whoosh!" At this moment, a long arrow made of golden feathers broke through the air from right in front of the masked man, and like a long dragon, it streaked a silver arrow in the hazy moonlight. Wherever the arrow passed, the leaves and flowers in the village shook violently, which showed how much force the archer had used!
When the masked man saw the murderous intent in the arrow feathers, he couldn't dodge in time, so he pulled Yun Qianmeng to stand in front of him, treating her as his shield!
However, the archer seemed to have calculated everything beforehand. The arrow did not hurt Yun Qianmeng at all, but just passed by the masked man's left cheek!
With a "dong" sound, the arrow instantly penetrated the redwood tree behind it, embedding half of it deeply, leaving only the tail of the arrow trembling violently on the top of the tree. The redwood tree, which was at least thirty years old, also began to shake as a whole!
For a moment, everyone heard the sound of Cun Ye's kiss, and they were all shocked. They didn't know who could shoot such an accurate and lethal arrow!
At this time, everyone looked at the masked man, only to see that the veil he had used to cover his face had long been hooked away by the spring feather, and there was a deep scar on his left cheek that allowed the cheekbone to be seen. The scar was now ten centimeters long.
Blood was continuously oozing out of the masked man, flowing down his cheeks. In a short while, the masked man's clothes on his chest were dyed dark red. Even Yun Qianmeng, who was forcibly pulled to his chest, was not spared from being dripped with blood!
Everyone saw that the masked man was not handsome, but he was filled with a strong sense of hostility. Especially at this time, half of his cheek was blood red, which made him look like a tyrant from hell, which made people feel scared!
"Who is it! How dare you shoot me!" The masked man, nearly disfigured, couldn't possibly be in a good mood. His crimson eyes stared straight at the dark forest ahead, completely disregarding the need to conceal his identity as he roared, wishing he could tear the man to pieces!
"Chu Feiyang, why don't you kill him?" At this time, the angry roar of the Tenth Prince came from far away!
A burst of orderly footsteps was heard, and the masked man immediately looked intently, only to see dots of golden light swaying in the darkness. As the man slowly walked into the moonlight, he saw Chu Feiyang in a black brocade robe, holding a longbow, walking towards him with a stern expression!
Behind Chu Feiyang, Jiao Da was holding the Tenth Prince by the back of his collar, so that he could only speak but could not move!
Although Chu Feiyang did not say anything, just from the longbow in his hand and the Tenth Prince's shouting, the masked man knew that the murderous arrow must have been shot by Chu Feiyang!
The masked man suddenly thought of Chu Feiyang's previous invincibility on the battlefield, and the look in his eyes finally changed. Seeing that the people brought by Chu Feiyang had surrounded the village, the masked man locked Yun Qianmeng tightly to his chest to prevent this useful hostage from being rescued by Chu Feiyang. "The eldest prince is in a good mood today and takes pleasure in killing the people of Western Chu!" Chu Feiyang saw that the masked man's expression had relaxed, and it didn't seem like he was determined to kill Yun Qianmeng just now, so he slowly spoke, his cold tone like a cold wind blowing across the ice, making people shiver in their hearts!
"Hmph, Chu Feiyang, you are the prime minister of a country, yet you actually do such a thing as attacking others! You really lost your authority as the prime minister. I didn't expect that Western Chu would be full of such cowards who only know how to attack others from behind. If you tell others about it, you will be laughed at!" The eldest prince of Northern Qi not only did not admit his mistake, but also blamed all the faults on Chu Feiyang. He did not realize that he was many times more shameless than Chu Feiyang, as he did not even let go of the children!
Facing his deliberate provocation, Chu Feiyang was not angry at all. However, the layer of coldness on his body had been tightly lingering around him since he shot the arrow. Even Jiao Da, who was standing behind him, looked at Chu Feiyang with some worry, fearing that he would get angry and kill the arrogant prince in front of him immediately!
"You are worrying too much, Crown Prince. With you as my backup, the people of Western Chu will only remember my good deeds! Could it be that the Crown Prince went on a killing spree today under the orders of Emperor Xiao of Northern Qi? Otherwise, such an obvious assassination in Western Chu, and acting so arrogantly under the noses of Prince Chen's city guards, isn't he afraid of angering Prince Chen?" At this time, Chu Feiyang's expression was extremely dull, and even the look he gave Yun Qianmeng did not warm up at all, making everyone think that his previous kindness to Yun Qianmeng was an illusion!
As a police officer, how could Yun Qianmeng not know what Chu Feiyang was thinking?
If I show too much concern for the hostages at this moment, the enemy will probably become more proud, and it will be even more difficult to rescue me. It is better to act as if I don't care, so that I have an extra chance of being rescued!
Therefore, Yun Qianmeng did not shout or scream at this time, but just stayed quietly in the arms of the eldest prince. However, her alert and wise eyes were moving with intention. Judging from the eldest prince's current situation, if she had the chance to escape, he would probably not be able to take care of her for a while!
"Hmph, Chu Feiyang, I know you're an ever-victorious general, but this isn't a battlefield. I still have so many hostages in my hands. If you dare to act rashly, I'll make sure they all die without a burial place! As for King Chen, if he's really that powerful, he wouldn't allow me to succeed in assassinating him on a day like today!
"The eldest prince is still arrogant and unreasonable. Even when facing the frighteningly calm Chu Feiyang, he still looks arrogant!
However, seeing that Chu Feiyang did not show too much worry when he saw Yun Qianmeng, he was still surprised in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if the news was wrong, and the person Chu Feiyang liked was not Yun Qianmeng!
Thinking of this, he immediately gave a wink to the killer who was protecting him. The killer immediately understood and instantly grabbed Hai Tian who was moving towards Chu Feiyang, and a long sword was instantly placed on Hai Tian's snow-white and slender neck!
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you be so powerless? Don't you want to live? Prime Minister, save my people, 111." Her life was threatened, even Hai Tian, who usually looked very noble and arrogant, started shouting out of control. If there was no blade on her neck at this moment, she would have already kicked the man in black behind her!
Seeing the eldest prince constantly testing his feelings, Chu Feiyang sneered inwardly. His frosty eyes only glanced at the noisy Hai Tian lightly, then turned his eyes away. He focused all his energy on the eldest prince, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said to the village behind him, "Your Highness, you have been watching the show for so long, isn't it time for you to show up?"
A burst of rapid footsteps was heard, and Jiang Muchen stepped out of the shadows with Ning Feng, and walked into everyone's sight in the moonlight. At this time, his face was full of frost, and his eagle eyes stared straight at the eldest prince without blinking, as if he wanted to swallow him into his stomach!
"Great! Today, I'm actually sending both of you out at the same time. This is the best way to save me the trouble of searching for each person one by one! Chu Feiyang, Jiang Muchen, I don't mean to make things difficult for you. As long as you hand over the Tenth Prince to me and ensure that I leave Xi Chu safely, these people in my hands can also return to you safely!
"Looking at the double number of soldiers, the eldest prince couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he still didn't show his arrogant nature. His bloodthirsty eyes coldly glanced at the tenth prince, and he actually started to negotiate terms with the two outstanding men in front of him!
"Bullshit! Who do you think you are? Why should you use me as a bargaining chip? You just want to use me to restrain the prince? I won't let you succeed!" But before Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen could start.
, and then he heard the furious voice of the Tenth Prince. Although his voice was loud, he also pointed out the key point, which made Chu Feiyang curl his lips slightly, and a sneer seemed to flash in the firm and cold eyes of Prince Chen!
At this moment, Chu Feiyang's eyes flickered between Yun Qianmeng and Hai Tian before opening. "Since you want to negotiate, I will trade the life of the Tenth Prince for Hai Tian's!"
As soon as these words came out, not only was Jiang Muchen's heart filled with great surprise, but even the Tenth Prince stared at him in shock. They wondered what was wrong with Chu Feiyang that he would rather exchange that noisy woman than Yun Qianmeng!
Chu Feiyang seemed to be unaware of the surprised looks in everyone's eyes. He just stared at Hai Tian, and there seemed to be a trace of affection in his eyes!
Seeing Chu Feiyang like this, the eldest prince became even more suspicious that the information he had previously obtained was false. He sneered and said, "This Princess Haitian is indeed stunningly beautiful, and she is a perfect match for Prime Minister Chu! Since Prime Minister Chu loves heroes saving beauties, then I will grant your wish! However, first, have someone send the tenth prince over!"
People were clearly negotiating terms with the eldest prince, but although he agreed to Chu Feiyang's terms, he cheated the other party by asking them to bring the hostages first. It was obviously a cheat!
"Brother, if you really believe what Chu Feiyang said, then you are the biggest fool in the world!" But at this time, an extremely cold voice came from behind the eldest prince!
When the eldest prince heard the voice, his expression suddenly became very ugly!
But the tenth prince was just the opposite. He almost ran away, with a joyful expression on his face!
"Oh? I didn't expect that the prince who should be fighting on the front line would appear in the territory of Western Chu! Your Majesty, this is your dereliction of duty. With so many distinguished guests visiting, your city defense troops didn't notice anything at all?" Chu Feiyang looked at Qi Jingyuan, the prince of Northern Qi who gradually came into his sight, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth as if a guest from afar was coming, but his words were implicitly blaming Prince Chen beside him!
Seeing that he still wanted to discredit him at such a time, Jiang Muchen coldly retorted, "No matter how derelict my duty is, I am still no match for the Prime Minister of Chu! He actually hid the Tenth Prince of Northern Qi in the Prince of Chu's Palace! If this matter were to be known by all the civil and military officials in the court, I wonder if Prince Chu's reputation for loyalty and bravery would be preserved?"
“Your Highness, why do you have to vent your anger on others? If the city defense forces hadn’t been lax, how could the Tenth Prince have taken advantage of this opportunity? I’m only guarding him on your behalf! To prevent any chaos in Kyoto and tarnish your reputation!” Chu Feiyang spoke with a smile but in a cold tone, making people feel the biting cold wind blowing across their cheeks, leaving them with a fear of the cold wind!
While the war of words was going on here, the eldest prince also disliked the arrival of the crown prince. Seeing that he had just insulted him, the eldest prince's face turned ashen in an instant, and with half of his face scarlet, his ferocious expression made people feel both scared and disgusted!
"Why is the Crown Prince here? Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will revoke your title for treason? Or has the loss of several cities today angered the Emperor, so the Crown Prince has simply hidden in Western Chu?" The eldest prince spoke harshly, but Qi Jingyuan's words just now reminded him. His hand, which had been loosening slightly, immediately exerted force again, tightly pinching Yun Qianmeng's neck, making her unable to move. Then he looked at Chu Feiyang with a sneer and said through gritted teeth, "Prime Minister Chu is so cunning, even I almost fell for your trick!"
Chu Feiyang smiled noncommittally, then turned his gaze to Qi Jingyuan. His tone was icy yet very polite as he said, "The Crown Prince has come from afar. I wonder if he would like to come into the palace for a chat? Our Majesty is very curious about the Crown Prince!"
Qi Jingyuan also looked at Chu Feiyang at the same time, feeling that this man was unfathomable and full of shrewdness!
Jiang Muchen, who was standing next to Chu Feiyang, also looked scheming and could not be underestimated!
And if Qi Jingyuan were to be beaten to death and told that these two men had no idea that the eldest prince's men had sneaked into the capital of Western Chu, he would never believe it!
"Why is Prime Minister Chu so anxious? We still have to settle some accounts! The ten-day deadline has long passed. I wonder why Prime Minister Chu doesn't let my tenth brother go back?" Compared with the eldest prince, Qi Jingyuan is more frightening. His eyes, which are as cold as ice and iron but cruel and unpredictable, are now staring at Chu Feiyang!
But even Yun Qianmeng, who was just standing next to him, could feel his capricious temper and felt that the Crown Prince of Northern Qi was probably countless times more dangerous than the eldest prince!
"Don't you know the saying that all is fair in war? Of course, I've brought the Tenth Prince here today to fulfill my promise! This way, the Prince won't have any complaints, right?" Chu Feiyang always managed to turn the tide in an instant! He was the one who had the Tenth Prince imprisoned in the Prince Chu's mansion, yet now he acted like a man of his word, leaving others speechless.
Especially the Tenth Prince, who almost flew into a rage after hearing Chu Feiyang's explanation, but a look from Qi Jingyuan calmed the Tenth Prince down instantly!
"In that case, please ask King Chu Xiangchen to withdraw his troops. We will exchange hostages with you when we retreat outside the city!" Qi Jingyuan is also a shrewd man. He knows very well that if the two sides exchange hostages at this moment, the other party may bite back. At that time, none of them will be able to escape. It is better to take these hostages with them. When Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen take action, they will also weigh the forces behind these nobles!
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyang agreed to his conditions this time, causing King Chen on the side to frown slightly!
Seeing that the eldest prince was pinching Yun Qianmeng's neck tightly, Prince Chen's lips moved slightly, but he never spoke again. At the same time, he and Chu Feiyang waved their hands at the same time, asking the soldiers behind them to retreat and make way for Qi Jingyuan and others!
"If you are tired, brother, why don't I, the prince, watch over her for you!" Seeing that the eldest prince was pinching Yun Qianmeng harder and harder, Qi Jingyuan was afraid that he would accidentally kill his amulet, so he spoke as he walked forward!
However, the eldest prince looked at Qi Jingyuan coldly, then followed him forward, but he still kept Yun Qianmeng tightly tied to his chest!
The two sides passed each other, but Ning Feng suddenly made a move, and a long sword unexpectedly pierced into the body of a killer. The killer fell down immediately. The two sides immediately drew out their long swords and glared at each other. The scene became tense for a while... "Chu Feiyang, you actually broke your promise!" Qi Jingyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Feiyang, and the light that shot out contained infinite cruelty!
Chu Feiyang, however, glanced coldly at Ning Feng, then sneered at Jiang Muchen and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, please don't do anything that would embarrass me!"
Jiang Muchen, on the other hand, remained calm. Facing Chu Feiyang's criticism, he simply responded coldly, "Prime Minister, don't forget your status! Since you have to be loyal to the Emperor, you must at least give up something! Besides, the Crown Prince of Northern Qi is the foundation of the country. How can we let him go so easily? Even if these young ladies are sacrificed today, no one will dare to say anything! Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Prime Minister Chu seems to have forgotten the true meaning of this sentence!"
As he spoke, Jiang Muchen attacked instantly, pointing the sword in his hand directly at Qi Jingyuan, and both sides immediately fell into an unusual melee!
However, Chu Feiyang stood aside with a gloomy expression and did not let his men participate in the melee!
"Protect the eldest prince and go first!" Seeing that Chu Feiyang had no intention of helping Jiang Muchen, Qi Jingyuan immediately gave orders to the generals around him!
When he received the news this time, the eldest prince had already set out on his way to Western Chu, so Qi Jingyuan only hurriedly brought a few hundred people with him!
If he had not arrived in time, his tenth brother would have fallen into the hands of the eldest prince. At that time, his tenth brother's life would have been in greater danger than staying in the Prince Chu's Mansion!
But at this time, Yun Qianmeng in the hands of the eldest prince is their trump card. Naturally, they cannot let Yun Qianmeng be taken away by Chu Feiyang's people. The only solution now is to let some people send the eldest prince out of the city first, so that they can meet the people outside!
