C12 Artemisia annulata lam

Xiao Ruo Ao took a deep breath, suppressed his surging hatred, and looked forcefully at Mu Qianxue as he asked: "What do you want?" As he was speaking, he stealthily put his right hand behind his back and made a gesture to wave to the inmate, Li Chang, who came with him.

"I've never had a single request. You should be clear on one thing. If you don't agree to it, then the only thing left for you to do is to burn them all!" Mu Qianxue's gaze turned as she spoke, and she stared at the inner manager as she coldly said, "If you don't want Xiao Ruo Ao to die today, then stop!"

Li Chang's body suddenly stiffened as he stood there, not daring to move. Inside, Mu Qianxue shifted her gaze and said, "Xiao Ruo Ao, I was the one who helped you establish the Heavencraft Guard, so I am more clear than you on how much ability they have. Before they arrive, I have enough time to blast you to shreds!"

Four years ago, Mu Qianxue had helped Xiao Ruo Ao ascend the throne. In order to deal with the crown prince and the various powers in the imperial court, she had asked Xiao Ruo Ao to secretly recruit strange and talented individuals from the martial arts world to create a troop of Heavenly Secrets, under Xiao Ruo Ao's sole command, to become a dark power that did not see the light of day in his hands.

Xiao Ruo Ao tasted the benefits of the Heavencraft Guard, and so after he ascended the throne, not only did he not disperse the Heavencraft Guard, but he also enlarged their scale and integrated them into the army, becoming an indispensable force in his hands.

Other than Mu Qianxue and Xiao Ruo Ao, only the inner sect supervisor Li Chang, who had followed Xiao Ruo Ao for so many years, was aware of the specific situation of the Heavenly Secrets. Even the Cao family was not clear about it, and it was usually Li Chang who was in charge of passing down the holy orders, so the moment he saw Xiao Ruo Ao's hand gesture, he guessed that he had to notify the Heavenly Secrets.

Li Chang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave, but before she could take more than a few steps, she was discovered.

Seeing that his intentions had been seen through, Xiao Ruo Ao's face became ugly: "You think that you can force Zhen to release you just like that? You're wishful thinking!"

Facing his ridicule, Mu Qianxue wasn't angered in the slightest. She indifferently said, "Whether it's wishful thinking or not, we'll know after testing it out, but at that time, you will really be blown into a pile of broken bones and rotten meat. You'll have to change the ownership of the throne before it gets hot. No matter who it is, the fall of the West Chu is inevitable. 'To chase a deer and conquer an entire country' will become a huge joke! "

Xiao Ruo Ao's eyelids jumped. He had plotted for so many years, yet he died before he could fully realize his ambitions. He definitely could not accept this, but letting Mu Qianxue go ? There would be endless troubles in the future!

Clenching the rope seal, Cao Shi mustered up some courage and said, "Once this place explodes, it will be hard for you to survive."

"Death is to the left and right. To be able to pull you two with me to the underworld is something that I have to calculate very carefully!" Mu Qianxue didn't take her threats seriously at all. She raised her head to look at the Joyous Flower that was blooming to the limit under the bright sunlight and coldly said, "Xiao Ruo Ao, you used the Joyous Flower to tell me all sorts of lies before. It's not wrong for you to die under this tree today." At this point, her eyes became serious as she coldly said, "How is it? Have you thought about it? I don't have any patience left!"

With these words, she slowly raised her hand. Her sleeves slipped, revealing her snow-white lotus arms, which made Madame Cao's heart jump. Her ten nails involuntarily tightened around Xiao Ruo Ao's arm as she wailed, "Your Majesty ?"

Xiao Ruo Ao tightly pursed his lips, his face abnormally white. He knew what Cao Shi wanted to say, and under Mu Qianxue's gaze that didn't contain the slightest trace of emotion or hesitation, he said in a raspy voice: "Alright, This Emperor will let you two go!"

Although that arrow might not necessarily be able to hit the lead, or perhaps be sent flying far away before it hit, he still had too many unfulfilled wishes. He did not dare to use his life to gamble with Mu Qianxue!

Mu Qianxue coldly retracted her hand and said to Dongfang Zhi, who was standing to the side, "Let's go!"

Dongfang Qin nodded, as he protected Mu Qianxue and Xia Yue as they slowly walked out of Yongde Palace. As for the other seventeen, who were half-squatting on the roof of the palace, they still aimed their flaming arrows at Xiao Ruo Ao, not daring to relax even a little.

Just as they were about to leave the palace gate, Xiao Ruo arrogantly said: "We have already promised to release you, and we still don't want that person to put down the arrow?"

"Put down the arrow?" Mu Qianxue laughed out lightly, but her eyebrows immediately became as sharp as a needle, "I have experienced Your Majesty's ability to go back on his words. I'm afraid the moment we put down the arrow, we will immediately die here! "Rest assured, once we are safe, we will definitely call back for seventeen!"

It was the same mistake he had made last time. He would be as dumb as a pig if he had done it twice!

Xiao Ruo's face was ashen, but he could only grit his teeth and endure as much as he could as his life was in someone else's hands. He swore in his heart that even if he had to chase her to the ends of the earth, he would take Mu Qianxue's life. It was far too dangerous. There was no way he could survive!

Just as they were about to leave Yongde Palace, Mu Qianxue stopped and pointed at Li Chang, "Follow us and tell the imperial guards outside not to act recklessly. Otherwise, if Xiao Ruo Ao dies without a warning, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand!"

Li Chang looked towards Xiao Ruo Ao, and waited for the latter to nod his head before he followed Mu Qianxue with trepidation. As expected, the palace compound was filled with armored guards and guards, and if Li Chang didn't yell for them to stop, it would be difficult for them to escape.

After leaving the palace gates, the gray-clothed man following behind Dongfang Shou left in a flash. When he reappeared, he was holding onto several large horses. They should have been hidden somewhere earlier.

Seeing that they were ready to mount the horse, Li Chang gathered up his courage and said, "Empress, you have already left the palace. Do you want to keep the promise and release His Majesty?"

Mu Qianxue looked at him, her gaze cold and sharp. "You're quite loyal, no wonder Xiao Ruo relies on you for everything. I presume that you know that he has been lying to me for the past four years, right?"

Li Chang was scared witless by her stare as he lowered his head, not daring to speak. However, his expression gave Mu Qianxue an answer as a mocking smile spread from the corners of her eyes. "Very good!"

In the next moment, she was already on horseback with Dongfang Wenyi. Once the others had mounted their horses, they quickly left for the city gates, leaving behind the anxious and confused Gao Fan.

Fortunately, not long after they left, a clear whistle sounded, presumably to call back the archer's signal.

From the depths of the palace, Xiao Ruo Ao's enraged roar rang out, "Pass down the order to seal off the city gates immediately. The Heavenly Secrets Guard is going to capture that slut Mu Qianxue. If she wants to see her, she wants to see her corpse!"

Very quickly, silhouettes appeared above the palace city one by one, quickly rushing towards the various city gates, vowing to stop Mu Qianxue and the others.
