389 Lian Xiuxiu IV
Now it is indeed a one-sided slaughter.
A deep chill seeped into my spine, into my very soul. The hand holding the gun seemed to have lost all feeling.
It was as if the world was completely silent, except for the echoing screams that seemed to come before death.
Bright red blood gushed out like a tide, staining the entire land crimson. Corpses littered the ground, a gruesome sight.
The once arrogant Young Master Wei is now in pieces.
Elder Wei, who had been shouting so loudly, now died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Sun Tixia's blank stare froze. A deep tremor ran through his soul.
'With such cultivation and such ruthlessness, the Third Prince deserved to die in vain.'
From the palace raid to the prince's death and the execution of Li Laomo, the silence of many forces suggests that no one wants to be the first to stick their neck out.
The Wei family, whether it was themselves or someone behind the scenes who gave them a push, did not know.
With the entire army wiped out, all that remains is to tighten the reins and cut losses to survive.
Moreover, the Wei family has offended many people over the years, so survival is the most important thing right now.
The lion-horse continued its journey gently, while the soldiers along the roadside had all quietly disappeared without anyone noticing.
The first ring gate opened quietly, awaiting its arrival.
A young general, resembling an elderly man, holding a long spear, clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said in a solemn voice, "Please, son-in-law."
He nodded slightly, not knowing who it was, but he would find out in the future.
The lion-horse quickened its pace and disappeared through the city gates; all three gates were easily accessible.
A long, winding torch illuminated the night sky, making the road brighter.
The raging fire illuminated the soldiers' faces, and they looked at their son-in-law on horseback with admiration.
Red flames leaped in the air, as if bidding farewell to the son-in-law.
Seeing the awe and admiration in their eyes, he nodded slightly, offering a gentle signal.
As Tao'er looked at the many torches bidding her farewell and the people seeing her off on both sides, her heart raced with joy.
Lion and Horse left the city gate and arrived at the outer city. On the road, patrolling soldiers stood silently.
The roads were deserted, and at night, everywhere was silent.
The two old men waited patiently; one of them bore a striking resemblance to Yun Su.
He stopped slightly, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Father-in-law."
Elder Yun nodded slightly, looking at the beauty in He Chen's arms, without much reproach, and said softly.
'Yun Su has had a tough time. Her mother passed away when she was young, and I'm a rough and uncultured person.'
If she's a little mischievous, you need to be more tolerant. Don't bully her.
She's in your care from now on.
Then she sighed softly, "Qing'er too, her status isn't important. If she likes you, please treat her well. They're both unfortunate souls."
"Yes, Father-in-law." He Chen nodded gently.
He said respectfully, "If my father-in-law ever gets tired, please come to Yunsu's side. I'm sure Su'er misses you very much."
Okay. I'll definitely go when I have time in the future.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Yun Danfeng said, "You may leave now. But don't be so reckless in the future."
The Red King launched a surprise attack; Wei Shaobao was already dead, and so was Vice Minister Wang.
I paused for a moment, thinking, "I didn't kill Wei Shaobao."
"Yes, Father-in-law. Please accept this."
He answered respectfully, presented the Cloud Piercing Arrow, and explained its purpose through telepathic communication.
As soon as Master Yun took it into his hands, a feeling of peace and tranquility welled up in his heart.
Instantly, everything around me felt much calmer, and evil spirits could no longer penetrate me. My fiery temper was instantly cooled down.
"Okay, okay, okay. You should go now," he said with some reluctance.
This parting is now, and who knows when we'll meet again.
However, the situation is volatile now. If I were all alone, I would have no worries and would not care about life or death.
But looking back at the people seeing him off, he realized he still had responsibilities on his shoulders. As the Martial Emperor, he had both ability and duty.
When it comes to life and death, one naturally doesn't think so much. As long as one is alive, one must shoulder two burdens, heavier than Mount Tai.
Upon arriving at the royal city, the lion-horse unleashed its power, soaring into the air, flapping its wings, circling three times, and quickly departing.
The old general said softly with envy, "He fought across three thousand miles, and with one stroke he slew a million soldiers."
With such a son-in-law, Old Master Yun will have nothing to worry about in the future.
Elder Yun nodded in satisfaction. Although they had only met once, the gentleman's honesty and integrity were truly evident in his demeanor.
Moreover, for the sake of his family, he fought across thousands of miles and killed a prince. Although it was reckless, it was brave and fearless, and his blood was boiling.
Just listening to it makes you feel like your blood is boiling and burning.
So much has happened tonight. It's truly a good night. The palace was attacked, and we finally fulfilled our long-cherished wish.
Although the relationship between the royal palace and themselves might worsen after tonight, they weren't too afraid.
I was afraid before because of my feelings, but now my daughter has someone to protect her, and they protect her better than I could have.
The hatred in my heart has been settled, and the injustice has been redressed.
Whether there were others involved in what happened back then was no longer a concern for me. Having put my mind at ease, I was now free and fearless.
He said softly, "Old Ghost, I need you to come during this time. I need to recuperate for a while."
These military matters also need to be planned for in advance.
He paused and pondered for a moment, then said, "When the Holy Emperor was alive, I didn't pay any attention to any of these princes; they were all pretty much the same."
Some may have good aptitude, like the Second Prince, but compared to the Holy Emperor, they are worlds apart.
With the Holy Emperor present, what use are these princes?
