Chapter 295 Siege and Killing
Chapter 295 Siege and Killing
Chu Yanqiu woke up from his dream, and this time he really returned to his previous state. He sat up and looked around, and found himself lying in a carriage.
Princess Wanfu, who was sitting next to him, said happily, "Chu Lang, are you awake?"
Chu Yanqiu looked at Wanfu.
"Chu Lang?"
Chu Yanqiu was very sensitive to this word.
Wanfu saw that he was unhappy with this title, and immediately changed the topic: "Brother Chu, you know how I feel about you, and besides, our elders have arranged a marriage for us..."
Chu Yanqiu interrupted her and said, "You dare to hire mercenaries out of Beifan Country without permission. I think you are really too bold."
Wan Fu pouted and said, "If a princess like me gets involved in my family's affairs, they will all be unhappy. It's better for me to withdraw and let them fight each other. Anyway, my status is protected by the Immortal Ancestor. At worst, there is still the power of your maternal grandfather, Old City Lord Chu, in Beifan. As long as you and I get along better and better, I will be fine."
As she spoke, Wanfu shyly raised her little hand and pulled Chu Yanqiu's sleeve.
Chu Yanqiu was most annoyed by her mentioning the immortal ancestor who led the immortal sect, and the rumors about his marriage with this stupid woman. He pulled back his sleeves and said, "Don't always say these nonsense that you said in childhood. Also, don't mention the relationship between my grandfather and your Beifan country. If my grandfather hadn't been sworn brothers with your father, he would have been tricked by your father into going to Beifan to get involved, and almost dragged the people of Xiliang City to death. You know this. Your father was in a high position and was good at deceit and power politics, but now it's barely over. The past grievances are settled, not to mention the secret power left behind, isn't it in the hands of your mother? The drama of your Beifan country's succession has nothing to do with my grandfather."
Wanfu's pouting lips looked even more aggrieved.
Wan Fu said with tears in her eyes: "But it is true that your grandfather was the King of Beifan! The title, land and power given to him by the emperor have not been touched."
Chu Yanqiu stood up and said, "Don't mention it, let's talk about something else. Let me ask you, why did you try your best to get the Beifan Kingdom to cooperate with the Daju Kingdom's army and transfer all the forces to Hongwan Mountain? Did you do this just to kill an ordinary official's bastard? I think you are even more crazy."
When Wanfu thought of Shen Wen who seduced Chu Yanqiu, her eyes turned red with anger. She said, "It's all because Shen Wen was too stubborn. He could have been killed by the secret guards I sent. Who knew that so many forces didn't kill him? It's really hateful."
Chu Yanqiu suddenly turned around and glared at her, scaring Wanfu so much that she shuddered all over.
Wan Fu was like a frightened little white rabbit. She whispered softly, "It wasn't all the people I sent to kill him. There were also martial arts masters and disciples of the immortal sect. It's very difficult to invite them out of the mountains. Now that I tell you, Chu Lang should have guessed who did it, right? Chu Lang, don't you understand? That Shen Wen is the one who came to ruin your future! The Immortal Ancestor had long predicted that there would be someone like him to start your tribulations. How could Chu Lang be so indecisive and give him his deep affection?"
The more Chu Yanqiu listened, the more disgusted he became. He hated it most when people around him were superstitious about the Ji family's immortal ancestor. Chu Yanqiu roared, and with his wide sleeves, he helped Princess Wanfu to the ground.
Chu Yanqiu was in a state of confusion, and all he could think about was Shen Wen.
Chu Yanqiu inexplicably developed hatred towards Shen Wen. No one had ever influenced his cold mind so much. He knew from the beginning that romantic relationships were unacceptable. If he was pursuing a loving relationship like that between his parents, he would not have agreed to marry four wives and four concubines overnight.
Loyalty in love has never existed in his life.
Chu Yanqiu regained his composure, and then said calmly: "You have no right to kill Shen Wen. If I want him to die, I will do it myself."
Chu Yanqiu turned around and looked at Princess Wanfu seriously. He suddenly smiled, a bright smile. He said, "Do you know what I talked about with your mother when I left your Beifan Kingdom? Your mother asked me to convince my grandfather that if I helped him overthrow your father and put the entire Beifan Kingdom in her hands, she would agree to give you to me as the next empress."
Wan Fu was extremely happy and said, "I feel the same way. Chu Lang, just agree. I am willing to give you the entire Beifan Kingdom. In this way, Chu Lang can rest assured about his imperial hegemony over the world."
Chu Yanqiu said: "That's your father, are you really going to let him down in his love for you since you were a child?"
Wan Fu said: "My father dotes on more than one daughter, but my mother only dotes on me. Anyway, the world of Beifan will belong to my mother sooner or later. If my father abdicates, he might still be a loving couple with my mother."
Chu Yanqiu saw through this woman and found her ridiculous.
Wanfu looked at Chu Yanqiu infatuatedly, fantasizing in her head that in the future they would be as loving and loving as their father and mother had been after they abdicated.
Chu Yanqiu thought that this woman was hateful and abominable, so he put it aside for the time being. He hoped that she still had a little wisdom and intelligence. After all, she might be the woman who could rule the entire Beifan country in the future.
Chu Yanqiu walked over and pulled up some of Wanfu's hair, and said with a wicked smile: "Wanfu! You don't know how hard it is for the Immortal Ancestor to control me. As long as I don't do what she wants, she will deal with me in a tricky way that no one can imagine. I said this to you, don't you feel sorry for me?"
Wan Fu's eyes were fixed on his action of picking up his black hair, and her head was full of fantasies about being in bed with Chu Yanqiu. She smiled and said, "How can it not be hard and tiring if God gives you a great mission? If you want to be the only emperor in ancient and modern times, everything you have experienced is nothing."
These are the words that the Immortal Ancestor often told them when they were young, and now Wan Fu can say them fluently.
Chu Yanqiu let go of her few strands of black hair, turned her head, looked up at the sky, and said faintly: "So, you are the most suitable match she chose for me. I can't treat you badly and I have to protect you... My grandfather's life is more precious than yours."
Now Wanfu has acted on her own, and what she did has implications for the whole body. He is worried that his grandfather will not be influenced by the immortal ancestor. In addition, he wants to confirm whether the martial arts master's order to kill Shen Wen was his grandfather's intention. Therefore, Chu Yanqiu jumped out of Princess Wanfu's carriage that day and hurriedly ran to other places to find someone to get information.
Since he left, Princess Wanfu launched an even more frantic sweep and pursuit in the mountains.
That very night, Princess Wanfu's pursuers found Shen Wen's whereabouts. The secret guards frequently reported that Shen Wen was trapped in a nearby cave. They also reported that a large number of soldiers had surrounded Shen Wen and he had no way to escape. Finally, they reported that Shen Wen had been trapped in a circle and asked Princess Wanfu whether she wanted to shoot Shen Wen with all her arrows.
Princess Wanfu was extremely happy. She ordered people to carry a sedan chair for her. She sat in the sedan chair surrounded by gauze in a solemn manner and went to see what Shen Wen looked like. She wanted to personally witness how Shen Wen died from being pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows.
And Shen Wen at this time.
He stood alone and in a miserable state, surrounded by soldiers who were blocking his way.
Shen Wen was already very tired from being chased, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were wary of the officers and soldiers who were slowly surrounding him.
Shen Wen originally wanted to find a secret passage to escape under the guidance of the drone beetle, but he changed his mind halfway. He wanted to see what was going on with Chu Yanqiu. Was he just pretending to be stupid or something else during the days he accompanied him in Hongwan Mountain? He heard that he was in a relationship with that princess and threatened to kill him.
Shen Wen gave up leaving alone and took advantage of the sunset to walk towards the main road on the mountain. After walking for a distance, he met Xiao Quanzi who came with two blood charms. Xiao Quanzi persuaded him to follow him, saying that it was safest with the protection of the blood charms. Shen Wen refused. But this time Xiao Quanzi became tough and controlled the blood charms to block his way, insisting that he follow him.
Shen Wen had no choice but to agree to go with Xiao Quanzi, but it was too late. The pursuers had already discovered them and surrounded them from the outside.
Xiao Quanzi's two blood talismans really came in handy, killing the surrounding officers and soldiers with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Xiao Quanzi was also smart. He pulled Shen Wen and rushed forward under the cover of the blood talismans, and they really broke out of the encirclement.
However, under the continuous pursuit of soldiers, Xiao Quanzi, who only knew a little Kung Fu, was attacked from behind and stabbed in the back. When he fainted due to exhaustion, he cursed: "These useless trash only know how to kill people. They didn't come to save me when they saw me trapped."
He should be talking about the two blood talismans, Shen Wen thought about it.
Shen Wen naturally had helpers, namely the five fellow villagers wandering nearby. The drone beetle drove the fellow villagers to run non-stop on Hongwan Mountain. As long as Shen Wen wanted, the sound of the fellow villagers' gunfire would soon be heard not far away.
As the shocking gunshots rang out, the officers and soldiers who had been concentrating on encircling and suppressing Shen Wen immediately became morale-shattered and hesitated to move forward. Shen Wen took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
Shen Wen had no choice but to throw the bleeding and unconscious Xiao Quanzi into a hidden bush, hoping that God would protect him from being caught by the soldiers.
Because of the huge gap in the number of people on both sides, Shen Wen also expected that he would be surrounded sooner or later. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the five fellow villagers were exhausted, the opposing army that had just taken over the siege surrounded Shen Wen in the middle.
"The princess is here!"
Someone at the back of the crowd of officers and soldiers shouted this, and then they made way for the princess's distinguished sedan chair to come over and stop in the middle.
The little princess Wanfu and Shen Wen were facing each other in the sedan chair.
Wanfu was sitting in the sedan chair, still casually admiring her nails. After looking at her beautiful hands for a while in a very good mood, the princess said to the eunuch who accompanied her, "Xiao Yinzi, the soup made by the mandarin duck today is a little bland. Did you cut corners?"
Little Yinzi was so scared that he quickly said, "How dare I do this? Princess, you are wise. I think people's hearts are different from others, or maybe..."
Before Xiao Yinzi could finish, the princess said, "You must make the Zixin soup carefully tomorrow. I order you to supervise the whole process and you must not slack off."
Xiao Yinzi quickly bowed and said yes.
