“Mm…” Yun Shan stretched out her hand to block the surging hot air. She squinted to look at the sudden fire behind Feng Tingye, her eyes shrank, “This is…”
“F*ck, a mechanism bird? ! Moreover, it’s an entire team of mechanical birds!” Xia Yuqing recovered from the initial shock, and exclaimed as she pointed to the team of mechanical birds flying back and forth above the night sky.
“Amazing, right? Hehe, these are the only troops that can fly in the sky amongst the four countries!” Su Wuduan finally found the opportunity to redeem his position in the heart of his wife. He couldn’t wait to jump on this and spoke very proudly.
“Did they come from Ye Kingdom?” Xia Yuqing was surprised, “What the emperor said he sent you to…is this it?”
“Otherwise, why else would you think that your Senior Brother had disappeared for??” Su Wuduan silently rolled his eyes to the sky. When his injury finally healed up completely, and he was ready to continue to work hard and not let go of his wife’s footsteps, in the end, he was told that his wife… ran away while he was in bed!
At that time, countless possibilities flashed in his mind. The least reliable and the one that shocked him the most was: Is it possible for his wife to exchange flirty glances with other men during the period of his injury? Would she be having an affair and then eloped?
After his brain made up that illusion of the tragic experience of his wife chatting up other men behind his back, Su Wuduan packed up his clothes. He was ready to chase his wife down, thousands of miles. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of Wei Mansion, he was caught by Feng Tingye, who had been lurking for a long time. He asked him to return to the Ye Kingdom to summon this elite army that was secretly trained by a certain beast personally, in case of an emergency.
In the beginning, he actually refused! However, Feng Tingye was called a beast because he was good at grasping the weaknesses of others and making use of them. Therefore… forced by a certain beast’s “If you don’t go, once the problem in the Kingdom of Shu is resolved and after returning to Ye Kingdom, Zhen will personally bestow Cui Er a marriage. With Cui Er’s special temperament towards Ai Fei, as long as Zhen bestows her a marriage, she will definitely obey.” In this way, he succumbed completely.
“…” She was wondering why he hadn’t shown up for so long. She thought it was because his little bum was not good yet! Xia Yuqing was shocked, then she suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: “No, I remember what Master once said. He said he would never use his mechanisms on the battlefield, how can these people… ”
“Isn’t this a very unique case? Moreover…”
“These mechanism birds weren’t made by Xu Lao.” Feng Tingye raised his hand to let the team above his head shoot at the archers ambushing on both sides of the palace wall with crossbow arrows burning with flames.
Although both sides held bows and arrows in their hands, just from their positions, victory and defeat have already been determined. One running on the ground and the other flying in the sky, their level was completely different.
“…” Why does it have the illusion of an adult teasing a child?
Xia Yuqing had a thought, and it took a long time before she recovered her mind: “That’s not right. All these mechanism birds are made by you? Senior Brother, wasn’t this idea something Master and you researched together? Don’t you need his consent before you sell his hard work to His Majesty? Does that not matter?”
Does this kind of privatizing benefits have copyright issues? If Master knows…
The smile on Su Wuduan’s face was slightly stiff. He coughed: “Although it was made together, I also helped a lot. It should be okay?”
“Are you sure?”
“…”
Xia Yuqing turned her head and glanced at Feng Tingye next to her. Her eyes gleamed slightly, as if she had thought of something: “Your Majesty, you wouldn’t have had this idea from the beginning, right?”
Feng Tingye froze. He raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile: “What does Ai Fei think?”
“…” Shoot, I was wondering why the Ultra Seme Lord would take Senior Brother back to the capital. Originally, she thought that the emperor was being considerate of her master’s separation from his son for so many years. Understanding his circumstances, he tried his best to abduct her Senior Brother back, as a result… this fellow simply had impure motives! Knowing he couldn’t ask for help from her Master, he changed his mind to target her Senior Brother. Second master is right, this man is a profiteer!
Under the huge disparity in strength, even if those imperial troops fought hard, in the end it was just a dying struggle before the whole army was wiped out.
Yun Shan looked at the Imperial Army who kept falling from the roof. She listened to the screams one after another in her ears, her expression gloomy.
“Princess, even if you have many troops buried in this palace, as long as Zhen has such a team, Zhen can defeat you without a single soldier lost. At the gate of the city… General Wang has already led people to rush over. Once we group together, you will have no chance of winning. This game, you have lost.” Feng Tingye turned his head and looked directly at Yun Shan’s eyes.
Yun Shan had a cold face. She looked around everyone, then laughed: “No, Ben Gong has not lost yet, Ben Gong has not lost. Ben Gong still has a trump card. The final trump card.”
“If you are talking about the explosives buried in the princess mansion, I advise you to give up.” Shao Zitang saw through Yun Shan’s thoughts and said with a low smile.
“What?” Now Yun Shan’s expression really changed. Her eyes widened and she looked at Shao Zitang in disbelief.
The others also moved their gazes to Shao Zitang’s body. Feng Tingye was even more surprised: “Explosives?”
Shao Zitang stretched out his arms, “I just passed by the princess mansion on the way here. From afar, I saw a fire blazing from a distance, so I went over and took a look out of curiosity. As a result… I heard bursts of explosions. The pile of explosives should have been buried in the ground, and after the fire persisted for a while did it explode. When we looked at it from a distance, the princess mansion was already in ruins.”
“…How?” Yun Shan’s face was pale, her unmoving figure shook twice.
Feng tingye’s smile deepened a little more. He relentlessly attacked her, “A fire burning down the Princess mansion, it really seems like even God is not helping you.”
Feng Tingye’s words seemed to have affected Yun Shan. Yun Shan’s body was shocked. Her slightly drooping head cast a faint shadow on her face. When she raised her head again, her eyes were stained with a bit of sorrow. “God? Haha, Ben Gong has never believed in that piece of sky above Ben Gong. Ben Gong lost? How could Ben Gong possibly lose? Everyone in the Imperial Army listen and follow. Grab the crown heir, grab the crown heir for Ben Gong! ”
“What?” Yun Shan’s sudden shout shocked everyone. The imperial army behind Yun Shan was stunned for a moment, before returning to their senses. They quickly rushed towards Yun Xi’s direction.
Yun Zhongli and the others also woke up at this instant. One by one, they hurriedly stepped forward to block Yun Xi’s front.
Just as the confrontation between the two armies was about to heat up, to everyone’s surprise, a black shadow quickly rushed into the midst with lightning speed, and went straight to…
“Ai Fei (Qing Jiejie) !” The people on the side were all startled when they saw this, and they screamed loudly.
In that moment, a water-like long sword appeared in front of Xia Yuqing’s body, left and right, so before the black shadow completely approached Xia Yuqing, it pierced it’s body in one fell swoop.
Feng Tingye and Cui Er looked at each other. Just about to let out a sigh of relief, they heard a panic cry from behind. In an instant, a bad premonition emerged.
The two turned their heads abruptly. They saw Xia Yuqing holding her baby and looking in a certain direction not far away with a panicked expression on her face.
Yun Shan, who should have been standing on the opposite side, appeared not far away from Xia Yuqing and the others, with a smile on her face. She was holding Second Baby in one hand and a sharp dagger in the other. It shined brightly as it touched Second Baby’s neck.
Feng Tingye and the others changed their faces before they came to understand what happened. Someone screaming to catch Yunxi was just a cover. The real purpose of the man in black was not to aim for Xia Yuqing. From the beginning, Yun Shan’s purpose was Second Baby.
“Woo…” Second Baby came back to her senses from being abducted. Looking at the dagger on her neck, watery tears began to gather in her eyes. Her mouth flattened and she cried loudly.
“Dun Dun!” Xia Yuqing’s face turned pale when she heard the child’s cry. She was about to step forward, but was hugged by Feng Tingye first.
“Your Majesty, quickly save the child, quickly save our baby!” Xia Yuqing struggled hard twice. She clutched Feng Tingye’s hand in a panic and pleaded. There was a panic that had never been seen in her eyes before.
“Don’t come, no one is allowed to come, otherwise, this child’s life will not be kept!” Yun Shan glanced at the crowd who wanted to take the opportunity to get closer, and shouted.
Everyone saw Yun Shan send the dagger in her hand to the child’s neck. Everyone froze in place and did not dare to take a step forward.
“Woo, Father, Mother, Brother…” Second Baby was scared by the sharp knife, and reflexively asked for help from her three closest people. Her legs kept on trying to reach down, but no matter what she couldn’t touch the ground.
“Don’t move, otherwise this Ben Gong will scratch your little face.”
“Don’t! Royal Sister, you are being impulsive. If you have something to say, we can speak nicely, she is just a child.” Yun Zhongli looked at the child in Yun Shan’s arms. He felt a little nervous. If Yun Shan touched a hair on this child today, Feng Tingye would definitely not let it go. If a child who was less than two years old became hurt like this because of them, they would never feel at ease in this life.
“Hehehe, Ben Gong has long heard that the Empress of Ye Kingdom gave birth to twins for the Emperor of Ye Kingdom in one fell swoop. A dragon and a phoenix are auspicious, the envy of others, but if Ben Gong kills this child today…”
“No, don’t hurt Dun Dun! What do you want? Just tell us! As long as you don’t hurt the child, anything you want, we will promise you anything.” Xia Yuqing screamed, her face pale.
“Fourth Girl Yun, don’t be impulsive, she is still a child. She is very fragile, and can’t bear you tossing her around like this, put the child down. We can all speak nicely.” Jin Lao saw Second Baby in Yun Shan’s arms being so pitiful, he couldn’t help but persuade her.
“Huh?” Yun Shan ignored the shouts of Xia Yuqing and Jin Lao, but instead moved her gaze to Feng Tingye’s body.
Feng Tingye’s face was dark. His appearance was infected with a bit of a murderous intent, but he had to worry about Second Baby in Yun Shan’s arms. He pursed his lips. “As long as you let the baby go, I will promise you anything.”
The smile on Yun Shan’s face deepened. She turned to look at Yun Zhong Li and Yun Zhong Li sighed softly: “As Emperor Ye said, Royal Sister, let the child go first.”
“Haha, if I let the child go, will you let me go? Are you treating me like I’m a three-year-old child?” Yun Shan glanced at everyone, and finally fixed her gaze on Feng Tingye’s body, “You, get all the things in the sky to disappear. If I see them appear on the top of my head again, I can’t guarantee that my knife won’t pierce your daughter’s throat.”
Feng Tingye glanced at Second Baby who cried miserably in Yun Shan’s arms. He comforted Xia Yuqing by squeezing her hand, then with a gloomy face, he had the mechanism birds fly to a distance and wait.
A bit of satisfaction was drawn across Yun Shan’s face. She turned her gaze to Yun Zhongli: “Royal Brother, prepare a good horse for me and send it to me immediately. I will give you the time to make a cup of tea. After that, if I don’t see the horse or if I see some small actions, then…”
“Zhen will send someone to prepare the horse immediately.” Yun Zhongli’s face changed, and he waved to have someone prepare a horse.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was all focused on Yun Shan and the child. Listening to the conversation between the two, brother and sister, they didn’t notice a figure who was in deep thought. That figure then secretly followed the man who went to prepare the horse and left the place.
After a while, the person who prepared the horse slowly led a white steed to the front of everyone.
“Bring the horse here.” When Yun Shan saw someone walking over, she shouted in a low voice and asked the person who was leading the horse to lead the horse to her.
The servant stood there, seemingly hesitant. Then he was urged by Yun Zhongli: “Go over and give her the horse.”
The servant bowed, and walked towards Yun Shan with the horse step by step.
“Wait…” Yun Shan halted. She stopped the servant’s advance, and wrinkled her eyebrows, “Forget it, just leave the horse there. Ben Gong will take it by herself.”
The servant was taken aback. He pursed his lips without a trace and nodded. Leaving the horse in the place designated by Yun Shan, he turned to leave.
Yun Shan guarded against the crowd and walked toward the horse with Second Baby. She buckled Second Baby upside down on the horse first, then turned over to get on the horse.
At this moment in time, Yun Shan suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind her. She squinted her eyes, turned her head, and faced Yun Zhongyue who was flying at her at an extraordinary speed.
Yun Shan was not too surprised by Yun Zhongyue’s sudden move. As if she had prepared, she raised her hand and waved a long silver rope. Just when Yun Zhongyue approached, she lashed at him mercilessly. The clothing on his chest left a shocking bloodstain and he flew back.
“Second Brother (Royal Brother)!” Xia Yuqing and several people exclaimed at the same time.
Shao Zitang jumped, and caught Yun Zhongyue’s fallen figure. He watched him vomit blood and frowned:. “Are you okay?”
“Nothing …… I just didn’t expect Fourth Royal Sister to be a practicing martial artist.” Yun Zhongyue said with a look of blunder, but there was no loss on his face. Instead, there was a hint of joy in the success of his sneak attack, “but…”
As soon as Yun Shan returned after lashing out at Yun Zhongyue, Feng Tingye had grabbed Second Baby and had her dragged down halfway from the horse.
“I knew you wouldn’t let me go so easily, but you still underestimated me after all.” Yun Shan chuckled lightly, then her face darkened. She raised her hand and thrust the dagger that she was still holding in her hand fiercely down.
“No!” Seeing that the dagger being stabbed straight towards the place where Second Baby’s neck was, Xia Yuqing couldn’t hold back a scream.
At this moment, it was accompanied by a loud gunshot. Yun Shan screamed, and the strength of her hands was slightly loosened. The dagger in her hand deviated from the direction she targeted and headed towards Second Baby’s body. Feng Tingye’s eyes turned cold. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed the small body of Second Baby who was still on the horse and pulled her down. With this pull, his arm was slightly cut open by the deviated dagger.
The muffled sound of the heavy landing made everyone snap back to their senses. They rushed towards the place where Feng Tingye was.
“Your Majesty, are you okay? Is there anything wrong? Your hand is hurt.” Xia Yuqing saw the blood on Feng Tingye’s arm at a glance and her face was white. She took the handkerchief that Cui Er had handed over. She wanted to bandage Feng Tingye, but her hands couldn’t stop trembling. She couldn’t tie it tightly at all.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay, it’s just a small scratch. Don’t worry. Look, baby is okay.” Feng Tingye looked at Xia Yuqing’s scared little face, and sighed. His heart was a little distressed as he comforted her.
“Mother, woooo…” Second Baby got out of Feng Tingye’s arms, hugged Xia Yuqing’s neck, and started crying.
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Xia Yuqing’s eyes were red. Hugging her Second Baby’s soft body, she comforted her softly. For the first time in her life, she was scared. The two most important people in her life were almost in front of her… …
Feng Tingye patted Xia Yuqing on the head. Although he wanted to hold his wife and children in his arms, to calm their horror after the disaster, this was really not a good time.
“You shot the gun just now?” Feng Tingye turned his head and glanced at his eldest son who walked to his side.
“Hmph, I originally aimed at her head.”
“So the shot missed? Go back and start practicing your shooting.”
“…” Father, your son is not yet two years old. At this time, to allow him to practice riding and shooting, are you not afraid that your child will accidentally fall over from the horse, and you will have no heir? Big Baby twitched, then he turned his head silently, and ignored the beast.
Yun Shan clutched her bloody arm and glanced hard at Feng Tingye, who was surrounded by everyone on the ground. Knowing that she had missed her opportunity, she bit her lip unwillingly. Then while everyone’s attention was still focused on Feng Tingye, she quickly spurred her horse to rush out of the encirclement.
“King Ye, are you okay?” Helian Mingyue and Yun Zhongli also walked over with a worried expression.
“Thank you for your concern, Zhen is okay, it’s just…” Before Feng Tingye finished speaking, he heard a shout: “The princess is gone!”
Everyone woke up like a dream. Feng Ting Ye and Shao Zitang looked at each other. When they got up to rush to stop the person, they were slapped on the shoulder.
“There is no need to be so worried, she can’t escape.” The two of them were startled. They turned their heads and looked around. They saw the clothes of the servant who led the horse, but when they looked up…
“Senior Brother, why are you? Xia Yuqing was shocked when she saw the person’s appearance, and asked in surprise.
“I originally wanted to use the opportunity of leading the horse to get close to the woman, but who knew that woman would be so vigilant.” He spread his hands out and explained his intentions.
“You just said…” Shao Zitang glanced at him.
Feng Tingye’s eyes flashed, and he chuckled: ” What did you do with that horse?”
Su Wuduan chuckled slyly, “It’s nothing, just removed a horseshoe.”
“……”
Yun Shan rode the horse for a long time and found something was wrong, but with the soldiers and horses chasing after her, she had no energy to explore what was wrong. Until…
“Hu—” a long horse neigh sounded through the night sky, and the horse that was running suddenly stumbled. The person and the horse fell forward.
Yun Shan took a cold breath and stepped lightly on her foot. Before the horse flipped over, she flew off and staggered to the ground.
“Over there, over there!” Yun Shan was still in shock. She heard the cry of chasing soldiers behind her, so in a hurry, she held her bloody arm to seek shelter. As a result, when she raised her head, she found herself in front of a long deserted courtyard.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. Before Yun Shan could think about it, she stepped forward to hide in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, she froze completely in place as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
