A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1590 Busy in vain, returning to the struggle in one night 5
As the gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, the black-clad men who were fighting the Xie family guards suddenly began to desperately attack in one direction, concentrating their firepower. They seemed to be concentrating their strength to create a gap and rush into the ancestral hall...
Of course the Xie family refused. One attacked while the other defended. Everyone fought with all their might and refused to give in even a step.
The Xie family had a hard time resisting, and many black-clad men suffered casualties in the attack, with half of the bodies on the ground belonging to both sides.
They are both top families, and the strength of the guards of the Wang and Xie families is not much different. If it weren't for the assassin alliance's secret help, the Wang family might not be able to gain a big advantage tonight. At least more people would be sacrificed.
After half an hour of desperate attacks by the men in black, they finally fought their way out. The man in black who was at the front, under the cover of his companions, took out the thunder bomb on his back.
Of course, these thunder bombs were sponsored by the Ninth Prince. If you want to do it, you have to do it in a big way. If you want to go too far, go too far. Besides...
Everyone in the four kingdoms and nine cities knew that only the Emperor of Dongling had such a powerful weapon as the Thunder Bomb.
The Xie family assassinated Wang Jinling and let the emperor take the blame. Similarly... the Wang family counterattacked the Xie family and did not forget to drag the emperor into the water.
I have to say that the emperor is a tragic character.
Crack... The flints collided, sparks flashed, and with two squeaks, the fuse of the thunder bomb was ignited.
Throwing it with all his might, the Thunderbolt flew towards the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, landed on the ground with a thud, and exploded with a bang...
The Xie Family Ancestral Hall was built solidly. The power of one thunder bomb was limited, but if dozens of thunder bombs were thrown down, even if the Xie Family Ancestral Hall did not collapse, half of it would collapse.
"Hurry, hurry to put out the fire, hurry to put out the fire." The explosion of the thunder bomb caused a big fire. The Xie family members were furious and quickly sent people to put out the fire and grab the tablets in the ancestral hall.
The Xie family was in a panic, and the attacking men in black knew that their opportunity had come.
"Done." The man in black who was charging turned around, with his back to the fire, and gave a thumbs up to his companions.
"Retreat." The man in black decided to quit while he was ahead. The Xie family guards wanted to chase after him, but the raging fire behind them made them hesitant. In the end, they could only watch the man in black escape.
Tonight was definitely a night of disaster for the Xie family. They thought that the group of men in black had only destroyed the Xie family ancestral hall, but when daybreak came, they discovered that sixteen direct descendants of the Xie family had also died.
These sixteen people were not ordinary guards. They were all talented people from the second, third, or even fourth generation of the Xie family. They were highly regarded by the family. Some of them were the next head of the Xie family and the heirs they had carefully cultivated. But they had died...
"God wants to destroy our Xie family." Several old men of the Xie family could not bear the blow and vomited blood and fainted on the spot. The others were not much better off. They instantly aged dozens of years. Some of them even turned gray in hair and had cloudy eyes overnight.
Without the next generation to take over, what good would it do even if the Xie family conquered the world?
The Xie family is now old and young... How can the family be passed down like this?
"Who is it? Who did this? Investigate for me... I want them to pay with blood." The head of the Xie family was in the palace. When he received the news from the Xie family, he roared on the spot. After he said the last word, he fell to the ground.
"Too cruel, too cruel." Upon hearing that the Xie family was almost wiped out, several members of the small families shook their heads and sighed. However, their brisk steps and the gleam in their eyes revealed their good mood at the moment.
Although mortals are unlucky when gods fight, they are not mortals. If the Xie family members fight with each other, they will definitely benefit from it. They may even take advantage of the fact that their vitality is seriously damaged and crush the Xie and some other families together, thus becoming a top family in one fell swoop.
"It's so tragic, so tragic. The old are sending off the young." There are still many kind people, and many people come to see the miserable plight of the Xie family.
The Xie family was in grief and anger at the time and had no time to entertain these people with ulterior motives. They were all turned away, but the number of people coming to their house did not decrease. The Xie family was extremely angry, but they could do nothing about these people.
"You are too cruel. Not only did you cut off the person's descendants, but you also burned down the ancestral hall. Aren't you afraid that the Xie family will spit blood in revenge?" Feng Qingchen shook his head, trembling with fear for the "big move" of the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling.
The eldest son's gentleness and elegance were all lies. He was more ruthless than anyone else. The Ninth Prince's calmness and rationality were also lies. He knew that Wang Jinling was playing such a big game, but he didn't persuade him, and even provided thunder to help.
These two combined would really ruin everyone in the world.
Feng Qingchen believed that if it were her, she really couldn't be so cruel. There were sixteen legitimate sons in the Xie family, and Jin Ling was really cruel.
Revenge of the Xie family? Wang Jinling sneered and said firmly: "If the Xie family doesn't dare, I won't give them a chance."
"Why?" Feng Qingchen looked puzzled. If it were her, she would give up her life to avenge her family.
"Because the Xie family was seriously injured, they don't have the energy or courage to take revenge at this time." Wang Jinling was actually very worried, afraid that Feng Qingchen would blame him for being too cruel. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was only concerned about what happened and did not show any disgust or fear, Wang Jinling breathed a sigh of relief.
The Xie family wanted his life first, so there was nothing wrong with him taking the lives of the Xie family. As for why he killed so many people?
The reason was simple. If the Xie family was not beaten, how could they be afraid? If he did not kill the rising star of the Xie family, he might be hunted down by the Xie family again. For the sake of future peace, he had to be ruthless and make the Xie family never dare to act rashly again.
The Ninth Prince spoke up and added, "The Xie family is not just one person. He also has Princess Xiling behind him. If he seeks revenge for his own selfish reasons at this time, he will lose Princess Xiling's support."
"Princess Xiling? Do you think the poisonous insects that the Xie family fed to the emperor and the eighth prince were provided by Princess Xiling?" Feng Qingchen didn't think that the Xie family had such a thing. If they did, Wang Jinling would have known it long ago.
The Xie family has many members of the Wang family.
The Ninth Prince nodded and agreed: "It's possible. Princess Xiling has always been in contact with Nanling Jinfan. Nanling Jinfan has recruited many doctors recently, and there may be some who are good at poison."
"So, the Xie family, Nanling Jinfan and the Princess of Xiling have secretly formed a network. Do you think we can destroy their alliance?" The strongest castles are always loosened from the inside. Feng Qingchen hoped that these three parties could rebel, but...
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling shook their heads at the same time: "Impossible."
Princess Xiling is in a precarious situation in Xiling, and she cannot do without the secret support of Nanling Jinfan and Yecheng; similarly, Nanling Jinfan is in an awkward position, and he needs Princess Xiling to stand by him. As for the Xie family...
If it was the Xie family of the past, they might have fallen out with Princess Xiling, but the Xie family now cannot afford to lose the princess as an ally.
Wang Jinling was too soft-hearted towards the Xie family, and none of the children were touched. With these children, the Xie family might be able to slowly recover in another ten or twenty years.
but……
The Xie family could only think about it. No matter he or Wang Jinling, they would not give the Xie family more than ten or twenty years. If they did not uproot the Xie family, they would not be able to sleep or eat well...
