Chapter 272 Besieged on All Sides
They received all the information they should and shouldn't know about Qin Jinzhi's body being secretly transported out of the palace.
Dian Fengyang faced off against Xue Huaiyi.
Xue Huaiyi shouted at Yun Que and the other three, "Take the princess and leave!"
The four of them immediately grabbed the coffin poles tied to the coffin and ran towards the palace.
Although Xue Huaiyi was confined to the Prince's mansion, his martial arts skills did not decline.
As his knife approached Dian Fengyang, a hint of ferocity appeared on Dian Fengyang's face.
"Fourth brother, are you really going to turn against me over a corpse?"
Xue Huaiyi said coldly, "Dian Fengyang, you have betrayed your master, and I will kill you!"
Dian Fengyang grinned maliciously, "Xue Huaiyi, you underestimate me. I know you look down on me the most among the four brothers, but after today, once the news of Qin Jinzhi's death is made public, the military power of Jin will be in my hands!"
Xue Huaiyi leaped forward and slashed at Dian Fengyang with his sword, shouting, "How could you face your godfather!"
Dian Fengyang brandished his sword to defend himself, saying, "My godfather is old!"
Xue Huaiyi stopped speaking, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Dian Fengyang looked at Xue Huaiyi's desperate resistance and laughed, "Do you think I can't see that you're stalling for time? There are imperial guards stationed in the palace. Once we enter the palace, the news of Qin Jinzhi's death will be kept secret. But I'm not the only one coming!"
Xue Huaiyi's expression changed, and he increased the force with which he slashed at Dian Fengyang with his blade.
Dian Fengyang burst into laughter after sensing Xue Huaiyi's anger.
"She has only herself to blame! The entire capital is full of her enemies!"
Yun Que and the other three carried the coffin and hurried towards the palace.
Suddenly, a large net descended from the sky.
The four men carried the coffin on one shoulder, while drawing their soft swords from their waists with the other.
With a few sword cries, the large net was torn to pieces.
As the shattered net fell to the ground, a masked man in black sat on a horse.
"Leave the coffin behind and we'll spare your lives; otherwise, you'll go to see the King of Hell with Qin Jinzhi!"
A large number of men in black quickly appeared behind him.
The four men gripped the coffin tightly, poised to launch.
Upon seeing this, the man in black on horseback shouted, "You're courting death! Seize the coffin!"
Just as the men in black were about to step forward.
Two enormous axes embedded themselves beneath their feet from the air.
The men in black all chopped at the trees.
Hu Aman was seen chewing on a blade of grass.
"Who wants to take the coffin?"
From behind the bushes, Cui Ying rode out on horseback, leading twenty fierce warriors who had joined the Thousand Birds Guard along with the Hu sisters.
Cui Ying drew her sword. "Anyone who obstructs the princess shall die!"
The man in black's eyes darkened when he saw Cui Ying.
Holding her double maces, Hu Ajiao said to Yun Que and the other three, "Take the princess away!"
The four larks leaped into the air, and the men in black swarmed forward.
Hu Aman leaped down from the tree in an instant.
He punched the man in black at the front of the group on the head.
The man immediately went dazed, blood streaming from his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
Hu Aman leaped up, retrieved his double-bladed axe, and charged into the crowd.
The men in black and Hu Aman and his group got into a melee.
The man in black on horseback saw Yun Que and his companions leaving with the coffin and immediately set off to give chase.
Cui Ying suddenly spurred her horse and leaped in front of him.
"Your opponent is me, Second Brother!"
Cui Ting was surprised that Cui Ying could recognize him, and he looked at Cui Ying with cold eyes.
"Qin Jinzhi is dead, Aying, you should go home."
Cui Ying raised the sword in her hand, a smile playing on her lips.
"Second brother, your talent has never been as good as mine or my eldest brother's since you were young, but you have some talent in martial arts. I always thought you would make a name for yourself after mastering martial arts, but you still took my strategy for the sake of so-called empty fame. You are a fraud and a thief of fame, and you are not worthy to talk with me. Today, let's see if your martial arts are still inferior to mine, since your talent is inferior to mine!"
"drive!"
With anger in his eyes, Cui Ting drew his sword to meet the attack.
The four of them, including Yun Que, sped along and were almost at the palace.
An army not belonging to the capital stood in front of the four.
"Put down the coffin."
A man dressed in white armor, riding a tall horse, spoke.
The four, including Yun Que, remained silent, watching the man with great vigilance.
The man held a long spear, his eyes fixed on the coffin.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
The man leaped into the air, and a long spear shot straight at the coffin.
Just as the spear was about to hit the coffin, a round figure kicked the spear away.
Holding two short swords, he stood upright on the coffin.
The man did a somersault, caught the spear, and charged forward again.
Si Sha tilted his head. "Can you kill him?"
Yun Jin laughed and said, "I can kill them!"
Si Sha's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and kicked the man in the chest.
The short swords were deadly, and the man quickly dodged backward, shouting, "Quickly seize the coffin and avenge my third brother!"
The army behind the man immediately charged forward.
Suddenly, the sound of bells rang out from the woods.
"when."
"when."
"when."
The soldiers suddenly became dazed.
A purple figure slowly emerged from the woods.
Luo Shui smiled and pointed at the man.
"Kill him!"
The soldiers mechanically turned their necks before attacking the man.
The man immediately shouted, "What are you doing! Are you crazy?!"
Yun Jin was utterly amazed by Luo Shui's hypnosis skills and secretly gave Luo Shui a thumbs up.
Luo Shui said with a grin, "Let's go quickly, I can only hypnotize them for a quarter of an hour."
The four people nodded and carried the coffin away.
Looking at the man who was surrounded and in a very sorry state, Luo Shui sneered and said, "You've been in the forest for so long and you didn't even notice my strange fragrance. And you call yourself General Lingyu, Young Master Yang. How shameful."
The four of them, including Yun Que, were finally approaching the palace.
The expressions on the four people's faces suddenly turned serious.
The air was thick with the scent of danger.
There were more than twenty people hidden in the shadows whose skills were comparable to theirs.
The four men pushed the coffin upwards and then turned around.
After catching the coffin, Yun Ge said coldly, "Return to the city!"
The four of them sped towards the capital.
Behind him were countless hidden weapons.
A voice was heard saying, "The princess said that Qin Jinzhi must not be allowed to return to the capital alive! Chase after her!"
On the way back, Yunshan and Yunge stayed where they were.
"Take the princess back to the capital immediately."
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Que and Yun Jin quickened their pace!
Just as the two were about to enter the city.
The city gates suddenly swung open.
A long, bloody gash appeared on Dian Fengyang's face.
He glared at Yun Que and the other two with a ferocious expression.
"Kill them!"
Yun Que looked back and saw that the second young master of the Yang family had also caught up with his army.
On the left are members of the Cui family, and on the right is an unknown assassin.
At this moment, we are attacked from both sides!
Yun Que and Yun Jin gently placed the coffin on the ground.
He stood with his sword across his face in front of the coffin.
Everyone rushed toward the coffin in an instant.
Yun Que and Yun Jin's clones stood at opposite ends of the coffin.
But two fists can't fight four hands.
Dian Fengyang punched the two men, forcing them back.
He shattered the coffin lid with a single palm strike.
Qin Jinzhi lay peacefully in the coffin.
