Chapter 174 Soldiers Falling from the Sky
“We’ve searched the entire capital, but there’s no Langya Army here. The homes of those ministers are also surrounded. Could it be that the Prince’s army can fly over here?”
After Wang Shao finished speaking, the soldiers behind him burst into laughter.
Pei Yanchuan looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Before the war begins, I will give you a chance."
"If you surrender now, I may not pursue the matter of you being turned."
"Don't listen to him. He's at his last gasp and is trying to trick you."
Wang Shao shouted, "Now he has exhausted all his tricks."
"If you surrender now, you will only face death. King Qi is purging the court of corrupt officials. The current emperor has been misled by these treacherous ministers."
"When the people are not at peace, the country is not tranquil. Only by purging the court of corrupt officials can we ensure the eternal peace of Dongling and prevent it from being harmed by treacherous ministers."
Wang Shao raised his gun high, saying, "Surrendering now will only result in being killed by this treacherous minister."
Pei Yanchuan raised an eyebrow at Wang Shao, "This is your own doing. I gave you a chance."
Wang Shao sneered, "King of Langya, I almost forgot there's one more gift I haven't given you yet."
He then ordered someone to bring over a bundle and threw it at Pei Yanchuan's feet.
Mo Qing drew his longsword, opened the bundle, and inside was a woman's head.
Pei Yanchuan frowned slightly, but Wang Shao said smugly, "How was it? Weren't you happy to see your mother's head?"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Shao said sarcastically.
"Whether you are Xie Chuan, Pei Yanchuan, the Crown Prince, or the Prince of Langya, you have failed to protect the person you love most."
"Why is the Duchess of England so unlucky?"
"Who told you this is my mother's?" Pei Yanchuan said calmly.
Wang Shao scoffed, "Now that things have come to this, stop struggling. If she's not your mother, then who is she?"
Mo Qing used his sword to brush aside the messy hair on the woman's head. "Unfortunately, although she's not your mother, she does seem to have some connection to you."
“Wang Shao, if I’m not mistaken, this is your lover who has been delivering many messages for you.”
The moment Wang Shao saw the woman's face clearly, he was horrified. "Impossible! How could this be?"
"Pei Yanchuan, how cruel you are!" Wang Shao roared.
"Do you deserve my mercy?" Pei Yanchuan said coldly.
"Take down this traitor, the Prince of Langya, and grant him a promotion and a title!" Wang Shao glared angrily at Pei Yanchuan, his eyes red.
Upon hearing the words "promotion and ennoblement," the soldiers behind Wang Shao were all eager to act.
"I will say it again: if you lay down your weapons now, I will spare your lives and treat you as innocent. I believe you have been misled."
Some of the soldiers behind Wang Shao began to waver; after all, the man before them was the Prince of Langya.
"Don't listen to him. They only have a little over 10,000 men left, and they are facing certain death. If you surrender now, you will also face certain death."
"He just wants you all to die together."
The soldiers who had been wavering gripped their swords again and faced Pei Yanchuan.
"Fine, I've given you a chance," Pei Yanchuan said calmly.
"Charge!" Wang Shao raised his gun and charged forward first.
"Run!" Mo Qing turned his horse around.
Pei Yanchuan......
"This is the first time I've ever been chased."
"How did it feel the first time?" Mo Qing asked.
"Stop talking nonsense and send the signal quickly," Mo Ran said.
Mo Qing took out a signal flare, lit it, and shot it into the air.
Pei Yanchuan and his group found the place they had arranged in advance.
"Hmph, Prince of Langya, you can't escape now." Wang Shao felt even more smug.
"Who told you that I was going to run away?"
Pei Yanchuan said calmly, "I just want to make room for my soldiers."
"Your soldiers, hahaha, what soldiers do you have?" Wang Shao laughed loudly, "Soldiers who fell from the sky?"
Pei Yanchuan pointed to the sky, "It really did fall from the sky."
Wang Shao and all the soldiers looked up and saw countless black dots in the sky.
What is that?
"I don't know," a soldier whispered. "It looks like a goose. Or maybe an eagle."
"No, it's people, it's the Langya Army, it really is the Langya Army!" someone with sharp eyes suddenly shouted.
"They really can fly, look what they're carrying on their backs!"
Wang Shao was also shocked, his eyes widening in surprise. So many dark figures made the sky seem even darker.
Even if it were to fall, it could kill many people, let alone in a war.
"Pei Yanchuan, you actually resorted to underhanded tactics."
"Fools, this is called a scheme. Why are you allowed to use the pretext of purging the court of corrupt officials to plot rebellion, but we are not allowed to make any preparations?" Mo Qing said smugly.
Wang Shao gripped his weapon tightly. "So what if they come? We have 60,000 soldiers. Are they going to bring back the entire Langya Army?"
"To tell you the truth, this 60,000 is only temporary. If things come to a head, we have other options..."
"Your Highness, let's stop wasting words with them and let me kill this Wang Shao first," Mo Qing said.
Pei Yanchuan acquiesced.
The Langya army landed by parachute and headed straight for Wang Shao's army.
Pei Yanchuan stood behind and watched quietly.
Mo Qing beheaded Wang Shao with a single sword stroke and held the head high, saying, "The traitor is dead. Why don't you surrender now?"
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Pei Yanchuan said calmly, "Aren't you going to come out?"
After a while.
King Qi, who was standing at the back, threw off the soldiers' hats and stepped forward.
"Pei Yanchuan, I really underestimated you."
"I really underestimated His Highness Prince Qi. He knew he was being used, yet he was still willing to do so."
"What do you know?" King Qi said coldly. "Xiao Yu is incompetent, yet he actually appointed you as a king of a different surname. He is not afraid, but I cannot stand by and watch the Xiao family's kingdom be taken away by you, this traitor."
"Hmph." Pei Yanchuan sneered, "His Highness Prince Qi's reason is much better than the one before."
"However, as far as I know, the reason you are willing to be a scapegoat is because of the secret in the secret room of your mansion."
King Qi's expression changed drastically. "Pei Yanchuan, how dare you!"
"We are both princes, so what's wrong with us indulging in a little recklessness now and then?"
"Isn't it just that the prince is in love with his own sister and is willing to be made a scapegoat?"
King Qi was shocked that his secret would be revealed so casually by Pei Yanchuan, and his anger instantly flared up. "That brat from the Pei family!"
"You've gone too far!"
As he spoke, the King of Qi led his troops forward.
Upon seeing that it was King Qi, the soldiers also picked up their swords again and rushed forward.
"Your Highness, why are you being so talkative at a time like this?" Mo Qing said with a mournful voice.
If it weren't for that one tantrum, I might not have had to work so hard.
Pei Yanchuan scratched his nose innocently, "If we don't force him to take action, these soldiers will eventually fall into the hands of the Grand Princess."
If the Grand Princess is backed by Prince Jin, then Prince Jin has made quite a few righteous friends in the martial arts world over the years.
If these soldiers fall into his hands again, the battle ahead will be even more difficult to deal with.
