Chapter 223: Resonance and Screaming
Xiao Qinggu, Ji Suxian and others quickly caught up with Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu.
Seeing Yue Zhu coming, before Shang Yuwan could say anything, the guests behind him also caught up.
Xiao Qinggu's heart was pounding. She covered her chest, her eyes changed, and she shouted, "Go to the imperial study!"
She felt that the mother Gu was in the direction of the imperial study!
Before he could finish his words, all the private soldiers attacked him. Xiao Qingxu drew out the soft sword hidden at his waist, his eyes showing murderous intent.
"Go in and kill them!"
The leader of the private soldiers shouted, "Prince Qi is committing treason. He must be executed on the spot!"
The two sides fought fiercely, and Shang Yuwan was held tightly in Xiao Qingxu's arms.
But there were too many private soldiers. Before long, the horses under Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu were shot to death by arrows. The two men hugged each other and rolled to the ground.
The wound on Shang Yuwan's shoulder broke open due to the big movement, and her face turned pale in an instant. Xiao Qinggu and Twelve saw it at a glance.
Twelve gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, his movements became faster and faster, and he moved closer to Shang Yuwan while killing.
"Cousin!"
Shang Mingqi did not obey Xiao Qingxu's words, but rushed straight to the palace. As soon as he arrived, he saw Shang Yuwan fell off his horse and rushed over with his weapon in hand.
Bai Xiaoye was startled, "What are you doing here, you little brat?!"
His distraction caused him to be scratched on the arm. Bai Xiaoye quickly turned around and performed a head-severing blow on the man, then immediately rushed to Shang Mingqi's side to protect him.
Cheng Yishui helped Ju Gongcheng kick an enemy away, "Lao Bai! A master should clean up his apprentice's mess!"
Bai Xiaoye cursed: "Stop your nonsense!"
The blood on Shang Yuwan's shoulder spread rapidly, like a deadly and gorgeous camellia. Xiao Qinggu felt a fire burning in her chest, burning her to the point of losing her mind.
"Go to hell!"
Xiao Qinggu's eyes went blank, and an unprecedented ruthless aura burst out from his body.
After this, Xiao Qinggu had no idea what he was doing. He only wanted to kill everyone who prevented him from getting close to Shang Yuwan.
Kill them all! Kill them all! As long as she kills them all, she won't be hurt anymore!
"Your Highness!" Shang Yuwan saw that Xiao Qinggu was distracted and shouted at the top of his voice in panic.
"Don't be controlled, Your Highness!"
Xiao Qinggu snapped back to her senses, realizing she was holding a private soldier by the neck. Her fingers dug into the man's neck, blood gushing out, and her own face was also covered in blood.
Xiao Qinggu was so frightened that she threw the man out and looked around. Most people were stunned by her actions and froze in their places, looking at her as if she were a monster. Yue Zhu, running along the palace wall and shooting arrows, also froze for a moment.
Such attack power is truly terrifying!
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Shang Yuwan's eyes.
Xiao Qingxu seized the opportunity to order a massacre, while Bai Xiaoye, Cheng Yishui, and the others also seized the opportunity to speed up the harvest. With Xiao Qinggu's intimidation, the private soldiers' movements slowed down by a moment.
Xiao Qinggu's gaze met Shang Yuwan's, and he felt a surge of panic in his heart.
"Listen to me, I can explain to you..."
Thanks to the protection of Twelve, Xiao Qingxu and others, Shang Yuwan ran towards Xiao Qinggu smoothly and stumbled.
"Your Highness!"
Shang Yuwan pounced and hugged her, "Your Highness, I believe you!"
The two violently beating hearts resonated invisibly. Xiao Qinggu was slightly startled, and the shadow of a rapidly flying arrow was reflected in his eyes.
She didn't have time to say anything sentimental. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the arrow tightly, changed its direction, and then threw it hard, directly piercing the neck of a private soldier.
Xiao Qinggu's eyes suddenly became extremely determined. He put his arm around Shang Yuwan's waist and said, "Hold me tight. I'll help you get out of this fight!"
"Okay!" A layer of cold sweat broke out on Shang Yuwan's back, and he felt a little scared.
She guessed right, she was Xiao Qinggu's reassurance. As long as she was there, Xiao Qinggu would not lose control too much!
While Twelve and the others were protecting them, Xiao Qinggu rushed to Xiao Qingxu's side and said, "Brother, let me help you."
"Hmm?" Xiao Qingxu was so weak that he was gasping for breath, and he could hardly hold the soft sword in his hand. "Wait——"
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qinggu lifted his clothes from the back and threw him onto the horse's back. "This horse is still alive. Big brother, you use it first. My sister-in-law and I will go first!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qinggu rushed out holding Shang Yuwan, "Get out of here!"
Because her previous killing was so horrifying, the private soldiers were afraid to stop her. Xiao Qinggu carried Shang Yuwan and successfully broke out of the encirclement.
Ji Suxian widened his eyes: "?!" Is this possible?
Xiao Qingxu gagged from the shaking, and while adjusting his sitting position as quickly as possible, he cursed under his breath, tightened the reins, and galloped away.
"OP!" Cheng Yishui and others hurriedly followed.
Xiao Qinggu is very good at fighting now, but the owner of Baijialou is still weak!
The private soldiers were chasing closely behind him.
Everyone fought back and rushed towards the imperial study. Yue Zhu reached back, but found nothing—he had run out of arrows.
Yue Zhu was just thinking about how to grab the two weapons for himself when he saw a long arrow with a green arrowhead flying rapidly towards Shang Mingqi.
not good!
Bai Xiaoye was fighting with four or five private soldiers at this time. Shang Mingqi tried his best to share the burden with him. The master and disciple did not notice that danger was approaching quietly.
The others were also killing their own enemies and had no time to pay attention to Shang Mingqi.
Shang Yuwan looked back inadvertently, and his pupils suddenly shrank!
A poisoned arrow flew towards Shang Mingqi's back!
"strange--"
Shang Yuwan subconsciously leaned back. Her strength suddenly increased, and Xiao Qinggu almost fell over with everyone else. The scene was too chaotic, and her ears were buzzing: "What?!"
"Qi'er!" Shang Yuwan's eyes were red, and the figure of Shang Mingqi turning around to look at her was reflected in her eyes.
Too far away, she couldn't save him in time... Yuezhu?!
When Shang Mingqi saw Shang Yuwan's eyes, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and turned his head to look behind him. But before he could see clearly, his eyes were firmly covered by a pair of rough, old hands.
“Puff——!!!”
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh echoed in Shang Mingqi's ears. As he was pushed into Bai Xiaoye's arms, his whole body instantly became extremely stiff.
He was very familiar with this sound.
The rough palm drooped weakly, leaving Shang Mingqi's sight. He widened his eyes, and in his shrunken pupils he reflected the image of Yue Zhu, shot through the chest by an arrow, spitting blood.
"Let's go!" Bai Xiaoye made a quick decision and carried Shang Mingqi on his shoulders, seizing the opportunity to escape from the enemy's encirclement.
"......" Shang Mingqi's pupils trembled and tears blurred his vision.
At this moment, he could hear nothing except his own heavy breathing and the sound of the tall figure falling to the ground, which was extremely clear.
After being shot by an arrow, Yue Zhu was slashed in the back by the enemy. Blood splattered out and he fell to the ground, his eyes gradually blurred. Shang Mingqi suddenly screamed miserably: "No!!!"
He suddenly broke free from Bai Xiaoye's arms and ran towards Yuezhu.
Bai Xiaoye: “?!”
He didn't have time to curse, so he could only follow and save people.
Xiao Qinggu wanted to turn back, but she knew now was not the time to hesitate. Instead of slowing down, she continued to run faster and faster. Shang Yuwan could only watch from afar as Shang Mingqi tugged at Yue Zhu's clothes, trying to take him away. Bai Xiaoye and his fellow guests firmly protected Shang Mingqi, fighting the enemy to the bitter end.
Heartbroken? Sad?
None of them.
Shang Yuwan only felt that his heart seemed to be empty after the Shang family was wiped out.
Her tears flew in front of Xiao Qinggu with the headwind, and Xiao Qinggu felt a sore nose.
"We must help them get revenge!"
Shang Yuwan's eyes were a little dazed, and his voice was light and light: "Yeah."
She will avenge them.
At that moment, in the imperial study, Emperor Chengming sat at his desk with a calm expression, his eyes gazing at Xiao Qingji and Xiao Tong with no emotion. Beside him lay Eunuch Kang, pierced through the heart by a sword. Yao Lao stood behind him, silent and still, like a stone statue.
"Xiao Tong."
Xiao Tong stood before him, no longer pretending to be submissive. "Royal brother, you won't even call me Seventh Sister now. It's really heartbreaking."
Emperor Chengming chuckled, and the two men looked at each other. Standing around were women in school uniforms and palace maids in palace attire. They all stood there expressionless, like a group of lifeless puppets.
"There's nothing unusual about the girls' school in Jincheng, but the girls' school in Kyoto... is it the lair of your Gu people?"
Since yesterday, the girls' school in Kyoto has been deserted. Emperor Chengming's suspicions were confirmed, and although he had been mentally prepared, a hint of disappointment still appeared in his eyes.
"A cleaning girl died, so just find someone to replace her."
"Does the Emperor care about that life? Everyone in the Camellia Camp was killed by your men. Why put on such a show?"
Xiao Qingji's expression was very indifferent, "You are just a weed and a mayfly, insignificant."
Emperor Chengming turned his gaze to Xiao Qingji and said, "I treat you well."
"If Father were to give up the throne, it would truly be a great favor to you, my son."
Tong Zitu, the leader of the Longwu Army, was not in the palace, and the Longwu Army had also disappeared without a trace, but Xiao Qingji didn't care. As long as Emperor Chengming passed the throne to Xiao Tong, what would it matter if he stopped the private soldiers lurking outside the palace and outside the city?
"Father." Xiao Qingji suddenly laughed and pointed the long sword in his hand at the blank imperial edict scroll on the desk.
"Issue the decree."
