The Second Prince looked at the ministers who came out and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, father-in-law has done a good job. I will reward you handsomely later."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Zhang Yuanzhong bowed gratefully and stood behind the Second Prince.
Many of the ministers who followed Zhang Yuanzhong were the second prince's confidants, and the second prince might trust them more than Zhang Yuanzhong.
"General Huo, you've seen it. If you don't appreciate my kindness, I'll have no choice but to take action."
Huo Xinyan smiled faintly: "Just relying on your small army of soldiers and generals, you think you can compete with my Huo family army?"
Huo Xinyan's ruthless words made Mr. Mo lose face for a moment. Seeing that he could not persuade Mr. Mo, he could only give the order to take action. He still had some respect for Huo Xinyan's talent, but it was a pity that she was too ignorant.
For a moment, the nerves of both sides were tense again. Hu Yansui, who was behind, felt that there were no more accidents here. He looked into the palace and found that there was no sign of the young master.
Aren’t Han Xiao and the others here? Hu Yansui was puzzled.
The second prince was a little worried when he didn't see Han Xiao. Since Chu Jinglin loved the young master so much, he should have kept them by his side.
But they just asked Zhang Yuanzhong, and found out that not only was Han Xiaoren not here, but the entire Han family was not here.
Only Lu Qingyun followed Chu Jinglin.
The second prince felt something was wrong and exchanged a look with Hu Yansui, asking him to go find Han Xiao.
The entire palace has been surrounded by their people, and not even a fly can fly out.
He wanted to see where Han Xiao would hide.
Hu Yansui led a group of people to burn, kill and loot along the way, and the first place they came to was the palace where Han Xiao and his men lived.
When Han Xiao saw the flames and screams, he knew that Hu Yansui and his men had already broken in.
He couldn't help but glance at the closed door behind him, and his grip on the spear tightened a little.
Hu Yansui brought his men over and looked at Lu Cheng and Han Xiao who were guarding the door. He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Han Xiao, you are here after all."
Han Xiao frowned and casually made a gun flower.
Hu Yansui immediately became cautious and asked someone to block him before continuing, "I didn't expect you to hide in this place. By the way, where's that little brother? Han Xiao, let me play with your little brother. If this prince has fun, he might spare your life..."
"Ah!" With a scream, the meat shield standing in front of Hu Yansui fell to the ground.
Lu Cheng put down his bow and arrow, looked at Hu Yansui expressionlessly and said, "You are disrespectful to His Highness, you deserve to be killed!"
That gloomy and fierce expression seemed to come from hell. Even though Hu Yansui himself had killed countless people, he couldn't help but feel frightened the moment he saw Lu Rong.
Han Xiao was also very surprised. He had not expected Lu Cheng to attack at this time. Lowering his raised arm, Han Xiao raised his spear and said, "I didn't expect the dignified Prince of Beidi to be such a coward. It seems the Prince still hasn't learned his lesson from last time."
Hu Yansui could no longer hold back his anger and roared, "Kill them!"
He brought a lot of people this time, while Han Xiao only had a dozen or so people. He wanted to see how Han Xiao would fight him!
Looking at the Beidi army rushing over, Han Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but there was a bit more cruelty in his eyes. It seemed that he was used to killing people and it was just like that.
Most people were attracted by Lu Cheng, and even more people wanted to capture Han Xiao alive, which gave Han Xiao an opportunity to fight back.
The gun shot out as fast as a silver dragon, Han Xiao's eyes were determined, and countless people fell under his gun.
Seeing the end, Lu Cheng was a little shocked. He didn't expect Han Xiao to be such a good fighter. This was different from what he knew before.
Han Xiao had no time to watch. He was breathing heavily, knowing that one should capture the leader first, and was always looking for opportunities to find Hu Yansui's flaws.
More and more Beidi people joined the battlefield, and Han Xiao was also injured a lot. The most serious one was the knife wound on his arm, which was almost to the bone. Lu Rong was very anxious but he did not have the extra strength to help Han Xiao.
But Han Xiao seemed to be unaware of his injuries. Silver light passed through the rain curtain, and he fell down with a muffled groan again.
Seeing Hu Yansui getting closer and closer, Hu Yansui had slowly relaxed his vigilance, especially when he saw Han Xiao was exhausted, he even laughed again.
Unexpectedly, Han Xiao also curled up a smile, raised his right arm and shot the crossbow arrow straight at Hu Yansui's vital point.
This time the distance was extremely close, and even if Hu Yansui reacted and wanted to dodge, it was too late.
He could only watch helplessly as a short arrow pierced his chest, Hu Yansui looked at Han Xiao in disbelief.
There was only one thought in my mind: what on earth is this thing?
The people protecting Hu Yansui were horrified and quickly surrounded him, not giving Han Xiao a chance to finish him off.
Han Xiao thought to himself what a pity, but this arrow almost took Hu Yansui's life.
As expected, after Hu Yansui was injured, the other Northern Di people were leaderless and didn't know whether to continue fighting.
Looking at the dying Hu Yansui, the others could only grit their teeth and retreat first to see what Mr. Mo ordered. Not being able to catch Han Xiao was a small matter, but if Hu Yansui really died here, that would be a big problem.
"Let's go!" Even though they were unwilling, the Northern Di army still retreated.
Watching the Northern Di army walking away, Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, his senses were fully restored, and he could no longer hold the spear in his hand. Han Xiao fell to his knees on the ground with a "thump".
The rainwater mixed with blood on his body flowed down his clothes.
Lu Cheng didn't bother to chase the deserter. After hearing the sound, he hurried to see Han Xiao's condition.
Even Lu Cheng couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scars on his arms, and shouted from inside the palace: "Chuyi..."
Chuyi kept his ears perked up to listen to the noise outside until the sounds of fighting gradually died down. Just when he thought that the entire army outside had been wiped out and was about to die together with the Northern Di army, he heard Lu Cheng's anxious voice.
Realizing that someone might be injured, Chuyi quickly rushed into the heavy rain with his medicine box.
He carefully opened the heavy palace door and took a look at the situation outside.
There were corpses everywhere outside the door, some of them were from the Northern Di army and many were guards of the palace. Chuyi couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
When he looked again, he saw Lu Cheng holding Han Xiao anxiously.
Chuyi was horrified and quickly ran to Han Xiao's side. Lu Cheng said self-reproachfully, "Chuyi, quickly check on his injuries."
The heavy rain was still falling, and the rain washed Han Xiao's wound. Chuyi took a quick look at it and said, "Brother Lu, carry the son-in-law inside first."
Han Xiao was still relatively conscious at this time, but his face looked a little pale due to excessive blood loss.
