Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nan Xun’s expression changed imperceptibly when he heard those words. He narrowed his eyes, thinking about something. Soon, he sneered and said, “Yu Yunxi, you’re about to die, and yet, you still have the time to talk about other things with me. Looks like you’re quite afraid of death…”
The general next to Nan Xun also said mockingly, “Yu Yunxi, weren’t you very arrogant in the past? Why are you in such a sorry state now?”
Just as the other party laughed, an arrow suddenly shot out toward him. He was very fast and dodged it in an instant. Otherwise, the arrow would have pierced his throat.
Nan Xun could sense that something was amiss at this moment. He surveyed his surroundings warily.
It was also at this moment that arrows rained down from above.
Those who did not react in time were pierced by the arrows.
“Yu Yunxi!” Nan Xun roared. In the next moment, he felt his body weakening. When he looked around, he discovered that the people he brought with him had all fallen.
‘Wait a minute… It was very foggy earlier when we came up the mountain… I thought it was strange earlier… Now that I think about it…
“Yu Yunxi, you actually poisoned me again?!” Nan Xun asked indignantly. “That’s right. It’s just as you said, my forte isn’t martial arts, but poison. You’ve been tricked by the same move many times. It seems like you’re not very smart,” Yu Yunxi said mockingly.
Nan Xun gnashed his teeth in anger. He could only stew in his anger since he could not use his internal energy for now. At this time, a huge net fell from the sky.
“This, this…
Even Liu Xiaolan was shocked by the sudden turn of events. Everything went very smoothly, but this was not part of their initial plan. He asked curiously, “This net, the archers… They’re not part of the plan. Why don’t I know about them?”
Yu Yunxi was not in a hurry to answer Liu Xiaolan. She looked at Nan Xun coldly as she said to the guard behind her, “Bring the black iron chain over.”
The guard brought over the black iron chain that had been carefully forged. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, they tied Nan Xun up.
Nan Xun glared at Yu Yunxi with eyes shining with hatred as he was being tied up.
Yu Yunxi bent down slightly and asked with a faint smile on her face, “Are you also curious about why the plan you heard is different?”
Nan Xun was indeed furious, but the unwillingness in his eyes also told Yu Yunxi that he really wanted to hear the answer.
At this moment, Feng Yili, who was standing behind Yu Yunxi, said coldly,
“That’s because the plan you heard was fake.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi turned to look at Feng Yili in surprise. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, only Shen Si and the people involved knew about this matter. Unexpectedly, Feng Yili guessed it.
“What?” Nan Xun’s expression changed. He stared at Yu Yunxi as though he wanted to kill her.
“Take him away,” Yu Yunxi said to the guards.
“Yes, County Princess.”
Then, Yu Yunxi looked at Zhong Kun, one of the generals next to Nan Xun. She said with a smile, “General Zhong, right? I remember you.”
In the next moment, her gaze turned cold. No one saw how she did it, but in just a moment, she stabbed her dagger into Zhong Kun’s shoulder.
The pain caused Zhong Kun’s face to contort, but he did not have any strength to resist. He wanted to curse at Yu Yunxi, but she was quicker and directly dislocated his jaw.
Then, Yu Yunxi randomly said to a soldier from Nanyue, “Go back and tell your people that if they don’t want anything to happen to your Crown Prince and General Zhong, retreat ten miles immediately.”
“Yes!”
The soldier trembled in fear and hurried down the mountain.
“Take the others away.”
“Yes, County Princess!”
Looking at how decisive and ruthless Yu Yunxi was, Feng Yili’s eyes flashed with some unknown emotions. As it turned out, there was another side to his Princess Consort.
Liu Xiaolan, who felt quite redundant, cleared his throat at this moment and asked, “Then what should we do now?”
“We’re going back to the city. There’s a big show waiting for us in the city after all,” Yu Yunxi said frostily.
In Xinan.
“General. ”
A guard hurried over to Han Na’s side.
Seeing that no one was around, Han Na lowered his voice and asked, “How is
“Young Marquis Luo is guarding the city gate. I can’t even go out and inquire about the situation on the battlefield, ” the guard said gloomily with a frown on his face.
“That Luo Xiuran is really a hindrance,” Han Na said through gritted teeth as his eyes shone with killing intent.
“However, Young Marquis Luo’s expression didn’t look too good. I also vaguely heard that the County Princess is injured. I don’t think she’d be able to hold on for much longer,” the guard said in a low voice.
Han Na’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and his mood improved. He said,
“Alright, pass down my order. Our people can move now.”
“General, should we really take action now? If we lose, then we…” the guard said hesitantly.
If they failed this time, their identities would be exposed, and they would be in great danger.
“Don’t worry. After the Crown Prince received news from us, he’d definitely destroy Yu Yunxi’s traps and capture her. Our main mission in the city is to deal with that old geezer, Shen Si. With our people working inside and outside, Xinan will definitely be ours!” Han Na said coldly with a scoff. Then, he glanced at the guard and asked, “Did you drug that old geezer’s tea?”
Han Nan nodded in satisfaction. The only person he was worried about now was Luo Xiuran, who stayed in the city. However, as long as he had Shen Si in his hands, Luo Xiuran would not be able to do much.
“Go,” Han Na said lightly.
“Yes, General!”
The guard quickly left to mobilize their men.
After watching the guard leave, Han Na raised his head and took a deep breath, closing his eyes. He was looking forward to victory. As long as they were successful, he would become the Imperial Preceptor of Nanyue..
