Duanmu Qing shouted "ghost", causing all his men to step back, staring at the white shadow that suddenly appeared in front of their deputy commander. Someone with sharp eyes recognized that it was the girl they had surrounded before, who was said to be the Princess of Ji'an County in the capital. But...
People turned their stiff necks to look at Xuan Tianhua, including the archers, and saw that the four people who had been gathered together had dispersed, and the position in the middle was clearly exposed under the night. They rubbed their eyes and looked hard, only to find that the county lady in white who had been standing in the middle of the four people had disappeared.
"Ghost! There really is a ghost!" Someone screamed, and immediately everyone gasped. Even those holding bows and arrows trembled, and the arrows deviated again and again.
For a moment, the enemies in the northern border were talking about it, and people could clearly be heard saying: "She never moved, never came out!"
"The white shadow just appeared out of thin air!"
"Could it be the Central Plains' superior Qinggong?"
"Impossible! Even the Anti-Hidden Guards can't do it."
Thousands of words merged into one sentence when Duanmu Qing said, staring at Feng Yuheng with a pale face: "You... are not a human!"
"Hahaha!" Feng Yuheng laughed loudly, so arrogantly and so creepy. She told Duanmu Qing: "You are right, I am not a human being at all - I am the King of Hell who will take your life!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and stepped on the carriage to go behind Duanmu Qing, but her hand did not leave his neck. Her sharp nails dug into his flesh, leaving five bloodstains. "If you want your deputy governor to live, throw all your weapons on the ground!" She shouted loudly, the clear and somewhat shrill voice echoed several times under the night sky, enough for everyone to hear.
Some people could not resist the shock in their hearts and immediately did as they were told. However, there were also some brave ones who were unwilling to give up and wanted to see Duanmu Qing's resistance. None of the archers lowered their arms, and the tips of their arrows were still pointing at Xuan Tianhua and the other three.
The weird atmosphere before was gone. After all, when she spoke, she sounded like a real person. These soldiers were all made of blood. Although they were scared for a while, they were not scared stupid. What's more, they were already depressed. More than 200 people, but they couldn't kill five people? If this was spread back to the North Realm, would they still have face?
Thinking of this, those who had thrown away their weapons started to stir again. Some of them used their feet to hook their weapons back, and some even shouted loudly, "A little girl wants to hold down our deputy governor with just one hand? You're dreaming!"
As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Qing shuddered, and immediately heard Feng Yuheng's disdainful sneer behind his head: "Ha! I don't know if this is a question of me or a trust in you. Duanmu Qing, tell me, with this hand of mine, are you sure you can escape?"
Duanmu Qing's forehead was covered with sweat. In the eyes of others, Feng Yuheng was just a teenage girl, not even of marriageable age, with a thin body. What could she do with just a dry little hand pinching his neck? But he knew that the cold thing on his neck was not a hand at all, but something harder than a pair of pliers. Five nails had already pinched into his flesh. He had no doubt that if he moved slightly, the five fingers would immediately penetrate into his throat and pluck out all the flesh and blood in his neck.
However, he was a governor after all, a tough guy who grew up eating raw beef in the Northern Territory, and he was unwilling to just accept his fate.
At this point, Duanmu Qing knew that no matter whether he chose to advance or retreat, the result would be a fight to the death. Moreover, if he gave in to a little girl, how would he lead these people in the future?
He gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and then he heard Duanmu Qing suddenly shout - "Kill them! Don't worry about me, kill them all! Kill them all!"
The sudden cry of collapse was somewhat beyond Feng Yuheng's expectations. As she cried out, the fingers that were pinching Duanmu Qing's neck sank deeper into the flesh. The first joints of her five fingers were barely one-third of the way in. Duanmu Qing was in so much pain that veins popped out on his forehead and blood flowed all over his front.
Feng Yuheng sneered, "You still have some backbone!"
The people of the Northern Territory are more temperamental. In their minds, there is really no such thing as giving up the war for the sake of the lives of their leaders. Moreover, Duanmu Qing has already told them not to worry about themselves and to continue killing. So, people wielded their weapons, and the archers pulled the bowstrings a little more. But just when the arrows were on the bowstrings and were about to be fired, suddenly a female voice sounded like a ghost under the curtain. It was Feng Yuheng who said - "You have to think about it. If you kill me without caring about the safety of your commander, you will be infamous for a lifetime if you show off your power for a while. This deputy governor is the grandson of the governor. He risked his own life, but what about his grandfather? What about the governor of your Northern Territory? He is willing to risk his life. What? It's easy to kill us, but from now on, where will you go? You can't go back to the North, and the Middle Earth can't accommodate you. The only ending is to hide from home for the rest of your life. Oh, and your relatives. Once Duanmu Qing dies and you run away, those relatives and children will have to be buried with him. Believe me, the Duanmu family will settle this account with us, and naturally we won't let you go free. Think about it carefully, do you still want to shoot the arrow on the bow?"
These words came out loud and clear, and went straight into people's hearts. The soldiers who were originally furious finally realized the logic behind it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This time, even the archers were shaken. No one knew who took the lead in putting down their bows and arrows. One person put down the bows and arrows, and the second followed. Until everyone put down their arrows and threw their weapons on the ground, Feng Yuheng stood behind Duanmu Qing and laughed - "Deputy Governor, please give us your comments. How effective is Ah Heng's speech?"
Duanmu Qing was so angry that his intestines were about to smoke, and he kept shouting - "Kill them! The Duanmu family will not avenge me!"
But who could listen to him at this time? People retreated step by step, and even made a gap in the direction of the capital.
Feng Yuheng sneered, and took Duanmu Qing down from the carriage, then walked towards Xuan Tianhua. As she walked, the small half of her finger inserted in Duanmu Qing's neck turned slightly, as if adjusting the direction. Duanmu Qing almost cried in pain and wanted to shout, but Feng Yuheng's fine-tuning movement was very fast, and she stopped after just one second. Duanmu Qing tried to shout, but found that she could not make any sound.
Feng Yuheng leaned against the back of his head and said quietly, "It hurts, don't move. This county lady has already blocked your throat. Even if you use all your strength, you can't make a sound. You might as well accept your fate." Turning his head, he saw Duanmu Qing looking at him with extremely resentful eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle again, "Don't look at me like that, it's not scary at all. If you have that energy, you might as well think about how long it will take to walk from here to the north gate of the capital. Every time you move, my fingers will sink a little deeper, your pain will increase a little, and you will bleed a little more. If you keep bleeding like this, I don't know if you can make it to the city gate."
Duanmu Qing was stunned, and a wave of despair came over him again. But what was even more desperate than this was Feng Yuheng's next words - "Don't worry, I will definitely let you reach the city gate alive, after all, you are my hostage. But don't be too happy too soon, Duanmu Qing, I'll use your body to protect the five of us. After we successfully enter the city, do you think you will still be alive? Hahaha! It's just a matter of dying sooner or later!"
After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace. She was only ten steps away from Xuan Tianhua, who had already extended his hand to her.
But at this moment, there was a sound of a heavy string breaking through the air, and something scraped the air, making a buzzing sound.
Feng Yuheng looked ahead with eyes wide open, and saw that behind Huang Quan, a man from the Northern Boundary archers team ignored Duanmu Qing's safety and her threats, and insisted on shooting an arrow at Huang Quan's back.
Without saying a word, she suddenly gathered her strength and used the explosive force of Houyi's bow to lift Duanmu Qing up above her head, then threw the man out towards the sharp arrow in front of her.
Duanmu Qing had never expected that a man like him could be lifted up by a little girl like Feng Yuheng, and even thrown out again. He was so stunned that he completely lost the ability to react during the process of being thrown out. When he came to his senses, he had already fallen behind Huang Quan.
It was not such a coincidence that he calculated it. Just as he fell down, before he even landed, the arrow came close to him and pierced his heart with a "puff" sound.
An arrow pierced his heart, and Huang Quan was pulled by Xuan Tianhua, so that he would not be hurt by the arrow again. Duanmu Qing also fell to the ground with a plop, creating a cloud of dust.
The sharp arrow pierced his heart, and there was no possibility of survival. He didn't even know when his eyes closed. His last thought before death was: I didn't expect that I, Duanmu Qing, would die because of a maid blocking an arrow.
At the same time, Feng Yuheng's ghostly voice also entered his ears: "Duanmu Qing, your life is not worth even a hair of my personal maid."
After that, Duanmu Qing could no longer hear any sound and finally swallowed his last breath.
There was a moment of silence at the scene, so quiet that one could almost hear people breathing. But it was only for a moment, and soon someone screamed - "I told you she's not human! She's a ghost! You just don't believe it! You just don't believe it!" After shouting, the man ran away like crazy.
Under his leadership, all the soldiers from the Northern Territory began to flee at once.
The commander was dead, and they would not be able to survive no matter what. Instead of continuing to waste time with Feng Yuheng and the others, they might as well seize the opportunity to escape.
People all thought so, including the archers, especially the one who shot the arrow, who was so scared that he almost lost his soul. Duanmu Qing, who was so big, was thrown so far by a little girl who was only as tall as his waist. Damn, is that little girl still human? There were only five people, and they had more than 200 people fighting. They still couldn't capture them, and they even killed the main general. Why didn't they run? Only a fool wouldn't run!
In the blink of an eye, the previously chaotic battlefield returned to silence, leaving only corpses on the ground and blood all over the sky...
