Qin Kou'er looked down and examined it carefully. She recognized the Northern script, but although the writing on it was definitely in the Northern script, it was the long-lost Jinming script. So even if Qin Kou'er recognized it, she wouldn't know what it meant.
Holding the items, Qin Kou'er glanced at the northerner on the ground, seemingly casually.
When the northerner saw the wolf fang in Qin Kou'er's hand, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Lan Xiuyuan in disbelief.
There's something wrong here!
How could Lan Xiuyuan have something from the Northern Kingdom, and why was he carrying it with him like a treasure?
Judging from his expression, the northerner seemed to know the origin of this place.
The Northerner stared at Lan Xiuyuan, seemingly wanting to ask something, but after seeing Qin Kou'er, he stopped talking and tightly closed his mouth.
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, not in a hurry at all, and looked at Lan Xiuyuan calmly, asking, "I don't even know what this thing of yours is, why should I exchange this person with you?"
Lan Xiuyuan immediately became anxious, "This is my most precious treasure! I wouldn't even let anyone see it when I'm taking a bath! If you're not going to exchange it, then give it back to me! If you're trying to cheat me, then let me tell you, even if it costs the entire Prince's Mansion, you won't get away unscathed!"
Just as Qin Kou'er was about to speak, she suddenly heard the faint sound of more footsteps behind her.
Judging from these footsteps, they must all be reinforcements from the North.
Qin Kou'er's heart sank instantly: Luckily, she acted first today, otherwise all these people would have stormed into the palace! In that case, it would be impossible to know who the real victor would be in this whole affair!
Because of her excellent martial arts skills, Qin Kou'er was able to hear the hidden footsteps in advance, but Lan Xiuyuan was not yet fully aware that reinforcements had arrived.
With a cold, sneer, Qin Kou'er instructed Hai Tian, "Our guests are behaving improperly! Send the signal!"
"yes!"
As he spoke, Hai Tian suddenly raised his head and let out a mournful wolf howl.
This was their secret signal, a signal for those behind them to launch a full-scale attack.
Looking at Lan Xiuyuan in front of her, Qin Kou'er realized that she couldn't let him leave easily tonight.
"Lan Xiuyuan! Your reinforcements have arrived. It seems you still haven't given up! Well then, I'm sorry! I was originally planning to spare the lives of the rest of your Prince's Mansion, but now that you've chosen your own path, I have no choice but to send you on your way!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er remained still, but suddenly retreated, directly charging into the Northern Kingdom crowd behind her.
The final battle has begun.
Seeing that Qin Kou'er had taken the lead in unleashing her killing spree, the people from Qin Tian Pavilion no longer needed to hesitate and immediately launched their final attack.
Kill! Kill until rivers of blood flow! Kill until the sky darkens!
The battle raged for an hour and a half, with reinforcements constantly arriving from the North, and the Qin Tian Pavilion men advancing wave after wave.
As the fight raged on, Qin Kou'er felt the blood had soaked through her embroidered shoes.
Finally, as the last move landed, all the people of the North fell at her feet.
Qin Kou'er was slightly out of breath.
It's been far too long since I've had such a satisfying and exhilarating fight with my enemy!
Turning my head and looking around, I saw corpses everywhere, some of which had even piled up into small hills.
Apart from Hai Tian, who was the last Northerner under his control, and Lan Xiuyuan, all the members of Qin Tian Pavilion had been killed and were covered in blood.
Qin Kou'er walked over step by step, looking at the countless corpses on the ground, but her heart remained calm without any fluctuation.
These people should have died long ago; they've lived so many more years—it's too good for them.
He casually instructed one of his men: "Have the brothers pack up! Let the whole world know where these people came from! Let the people see for themselves how their beloved Fifth Prince has betrayed his country!"
At this moment, Lan Xiuyuan was so stunned by the scene before him that he couldn't say a word.
Dead! They're all dead! His newly ignited hope has been extinguished once more!
Moreover, this time there is absolutely no hope left to rekindle!
Qin Kou'er walked up to him, looked at him quietly, and then gently removed her veil.
The moment Lan Xiuyuan saw Qin Kou'er's face, it felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his heart, and his entire body slid down uncontrollably.
Qin Kou'er, however, revealed a satisfied smile.
He waved his hand to his subordinates, and immediately the people below brought out a chair and placed it in front of Lan Xiuyuan.
Qin Kou'er slowly sat down.
"Didn't you expect it to be me? Or did you already know it was me, but never had the courage to believe it?"
Qin Kou'er sat opposite Lan Xiuyuan, quietly watching him.
Meanwhile, Qu Feng'er had already led her men to bring over the Prince's Mansion, along with the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, who had given up resistance. They were all kneeling on the ground, only able to weep softly.
Qin Kou'er turned her head and looked at Feng Zhouyuan, who was kneeling in the crowd with a pale face. She smiled and pointed at him, saying, "Come on! Bring the Fifth Prince's confidants over here! It's such a waste that Master Feng is so resourceful and wise to be kneeling with those people!"
Immediately, Qu Feng'er lifted Feng Zhouyuan with no effort and pushed him down next to Lan Xiuyuan.
Feng Zhouyuan struggled to help Lan Xiuyuan up, then looked at Qin Kou'er with grief and indignation.
"I knew you were a wicked and treacherous monster all along. If it weren't for the Fifth Prince's deep affection for you, you would have been dead and torn to pieces long ago!"
Feng Zhouyuan looked at Qin Kou'er with a face full of sorrow, wishing he could gouge holes in her face.
