Yu Qingyi had already turned around and flashed down the city gate, landing in front of Nan Fenghuang.
At this point, a fight is unlikely to break out.
Everyone was aware of the Emperor Emeritus's crimes and sinister intentions. Everyone was also aware of the injustices suffered by the Princess of Southern Qi. Everyone was even more aware of the Emperor's love for Princess Lingqin of Southern Qi.
The courtiers fell silent, and the generals and soldiers seemed to have lost their bearings, all looking at Yu Qingyi and following his lead without question.
"Sister Qin might die, let's go find her right away."
Yu Qingyi said urgently to Nan Fenghuang.
Nan Fenghuang also sensed that something was wrong. She gave an order to those behind her and immediately flew away with Yu Qingyi.
Xu Yiran did not move at that moment; he stood there, as if he were a stone statue.
"Young Master..."
Sour Peel called softly, "Aren't you going?"
Miss Lingqin took the Northern Emperor away, but Prince Yi and Miss Lingqin might die.
Seeing that Xu Yiran still hadn't made a move, Suanpizi called out softly again, "Young Master, are you going or not?"
"The only thing I can do now is let her do what she wants to do." Xu Yiran finally spoke. He stood in front of the three armies, looking at Suanpizi. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and swung his long sword, which pierced straight into the city wall of Beirong.
"hit--"
A loud bang seemed to shake the entire city wall and the ground.
In the context of a war between two armies, this is a provocation, an absolute provocation.
"Do you want to avenge Nan Lingqin? Do you want to avenge yourselves? Then go for it."
Xu Yiran waved her hand high, and with a single word, she seemed like a completely different person. Her cold and ruthless demeanor seemed to conceal all her gentle and kind nature.
"Young master, what's wrong?"
Suanpizi's expression changed. Clearly, there was no need for further beating. The matter was already clear; Miss Lingqin had received the justice she deserved. Why continue the beating? This was...
Xu Yiran suddenly looked at Suanpizi, her clear eyes no longer clear, only a hazy white.
"I want to kill someone."
With just this one sentence, Suanpizi saw a faint, misty aura emanating from between Xu Yiran's palms. Then, he saw the tens of thousands of Yun Clan members behind him fix their gazes on Xu Yiran, as if... as if puppets were looking at their master.
this……
Suanpizi's heart clenched, and his face changed drastically. Even though he ran away as fast as he could, he still got slapped.
In an instant, the once silent city gates were filled with murderous intent. The 200,000 troops behind them, unaware of what was happening ahead, only knew that they were suddenly about to attack Beirong, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
The Beirong soldiers were not about to suffer a loss, and immediately engaged in battle.
Instantly, blood appeared.
...
In the shadows, not far away, Yuwen An was supporting the Empress, no, now the Empress Dowager, who was dressed as a commoner. They originally intended to leave the city through a side path. Sensing the peaceful atmosphere in the capital, his expression softened, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better. However, when the two approached and saw this scene of grim bloodshed, with bells and drums beating in unison, he was immediately horrified.
As planned, Yuwen Yao had already prepared a way out for Yuwen An and the Empress Dowager to become commoners.
"How could this happen? After everything was explained, shouldn't we have entered the city peacefully? This..."
Yuwen An looked at Xu Yiran, who was soaring and tumbling in the center, and felt uneasy, but instantly understood.
Xu Yiran, he...
"Mother, let me take you away first," Yuwen An said, turning around.
"No……"
"Yuwen... An."
Just as the Empress Dowager was about to speak, she suddenly heard a voice behind her.
Yuwen An and the Empress Dowager turned around at the same time, and when they saw the young man carrying a bundle and looking travel-worn under the moonlight, their expressions changed slightly.
"Xie Danling?"
Yuwen An looked at him, quite surprised, "Shouldn't you be waiting in Nanqi for Nanlingqin to conquer Beirong, and then bring you over to be the emperor of Beirong?"
“Someone sent me a message saying my sister was in danger, so I came. There were too many people at the city gate, and I couldn’t squeeze through. I wanted to shout, but I was afraid of being discovered and instead being captured to restrain my sister. As a result, the Emperor Emeritus died, and my sister left with the Emperor. I…”
Xie Danling strode forward, her face filled with urgency. "I've searched all over the place, and I'm only looking for you. Please take me to find my sister. You're good at light footwork."
“I can’t catch up with her at all, and the Emperor Emeritus is dead, Yuwen Yao…” Yuwen An’s eyes darkened. He looked at the Empress Dowager who was about to shed tears, and then said to Xie Dan, “There is probably no hope of turning things around. It’s good that you’ve come. Your appearance at this time will surely stop this great battle.”
"No." Xie Danling shook his head. "If it weren't for my sister, what would I be the emperor for? None of this has anything to do with me." Xie Danling looked at Yuwen An. "In front of outsiders, I may be as tough as iron, but in front of my sister, I am just her brother."
Xie Dan listened firmly, "You must take me to her."
Yuwen An was furious. "So you're just going to let Nan Lingqin's hard work go to waste? If she knew that the person she trusted most had betrayed her at this very moment, how would she feel?"
Xie Danling turned pale from Yuwen An's shout and looked at him, stammering, "I, I, I..."
"Let's go, hurry up."
As Yuwen An said this, he looked at the Empress and said, "Mother, it seems that you still need to take the risk at this time."
"Silly child." Even though the Empress was dressed in commoner's clothes, she was still dignified and elegant. "I am the Empress. I should be a model for the world and help the people. I did not do well in the past, so I must do well today."
The Empress's smile was as pure as a white lotus, so beautiful under the blood-soaked night and amidst the deafening sounds of slaughter ahead.
