C32 Ancestral temple leg

However, she didn't expect that this time, Yan Zhongshan would actually bring over a thousand soldiers to capture her. Fortunately, the bamboo arrows were prepared enough, and with the soldiers suddenly facing a one-sided slaughter, their morale was broken and they ran for their lives; otherwise, it would be really hard to deal with. What he was worried about would not happen.

Advice and advice may seem easy, but in reality, it takes the most effort and effort. All of the military advisers do not live long because of this reason.

After resting for a while, a group of fifteen or so people, dressed in grey clothes, flew up the mountain and quickly arrived in front of them. Mu Qianxue swept her eyes over them, but did not see Yan Chong Shan.

"Where's Yan Chongshan?"

Fifteen's eyes flashed as he cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, even though my subordinates were hurrying along the way, they were still unable to stop Yan Zhongshan and the others, causing them to ? and fled back to the ancestral hall. "

Dongfang Qing coldly said, "It's just a mere ancestral hall. Don't tell me you guys can't break in?"

Nineteen took a step forward, "Your Highness, it's naturally not difficult to break through an ancestral hall. The problem is that Yan Zhongshan kidnapped those people from the Southern Wasteland, and once a servant or servant attacks, they will all perish together and those people will be killed along with them."

"When did you become so useless that you can't even cut off a wounded person?" Dongfang Qing finally understood the worry that had been lingering between Mu Qianxue's eyebrows all this time.

Fifteen glanced at nineteen at the side without leaving a trace. Then, he kneeled down and said, "If your subordinate is incompetent, I ask for your punishment, your highness!"

Mu Qianxue took a light breath, stood up and said, "Now is not the time to pursue these matters. What request has Yan Zhongshan made to leave?"

Fifteen raised his head and said, "Yan Chongshan is unwilling to say. He only says that he wants to see the princess. I'll have Sixteen and the others keep their eyes on Yan Chongshan. Within a short period of time, Nan Zhao and the others should not be in any danger." Like Nineteen, he called himself "Subordinate" only to Dongfang Shou.

"Yan Zhongshan is at the end of his road. I don't know what he will do, but I'll go. I promise you, I'll definitely find a way to bring the Mu Clan to see you."

Mu Qianxue shook her head and said, "I know that Your Highness has good intentions, but Yan Zhongshan wanted to see me. If Your Highness goes, it will only anger Yan Zhongshan and worsen the situation."

"But ?"

"Besides me and third brother, they are the only ones left from the Mu Clan. I don't want to risk their lives. I hope Your Highness can understand."

Seeing that she was determined, Dongfang Shou had no choice but to concede. "Okay then, I'll go with you."

After making their decision, the group descended the mountain. They mounted the horses they had prepared beforehand and galloped towards the ancestral hall. Just as the last ray of light was being mercilessly devoured by the darkness, they finally arrived at the ancestral hall.

The doors of the ancestral hall were tightly shut, so that nothing could be seen except for a few candles burning through the crack in the door.

After knowing that Yan Chongshan was inside, Mu Qianxue walked to the door and coldly said, "Yan Chongshan, I'm here. Open the door."

Not long after, the sound of a bolt moving could be heard from inside as the black-and-red colored door slowly opened, allowing Mu Qianxue to clearly see what was inside.

A dozen or so elders and children were tied up and kneeling on the ground. A few steel sabers that had not dried up yet were resting on their necks. If there was any movement, they would immediately turn into ghosts under their sabers.

Yan Chongshan sat in the chair. His blind eye had already been covered, and the remaining eye was filled with hatred.

When they saw Mu Qianxue, all of those old people from the Southern Wasteland who were kneeling on the ground became extremely excited. A few of them even started crying, but unfortunately, their mouths were stuffed with cloth.

"You're finally here!" Yan Zhongshan sinisterly spat out these words.

Mu Qianxue suppressed the excitement in her heart as she walked in accompanied by Dongfang Qing and Nineteen. She met Yan Zhongshan's venomous snake like gaze and asked, "What do you want?"

Yan Zhongshan stroked his blind eye and said word by word, "Your Highness, you are very capable. Not only did you see through our plan, but you also betrayed us into the army, causing us to suffer heavy casualties. High! Truly brilliant!"

Mu Qianxue said expressionlessly, "Let's not talk about this nonsense. As long as you let these people go, I will make all of you leave this place, and I will not go back on my words."

"The Empress is indeed generous, but ?" If I am unable to bring back the Empress, even if I am to return to Ying Tian, only death awaits me. "

"The heavens are vast. With Chief Yan's abilities, why must he respond to the heavens? The Qi Kingdom, Yan Nation, and East Ling, which part of them can't be at ease?"

Yan Chong Shan snorted coldly, "You said all this because you don't want me to release them. Alright, but you have to promise me one condition."

"Just say it." Mu Qianxue didn't like the feeling of being held in someone's hands and having a condition be negotiated, but for the sake of her clansmen's lives, she could only endure it temporarily.

"It's very simple, as long as... If the Empress follows me, I will answer the heavens. " Yan Chongshan knew that what Xiao Ruo Ao cared about was always only Mu Qianxue. As long as he brought her back, not to mention thousands or even tens of thousands of people had died, Xiao Ruo Ao would not blame him. He would still be the head of the Heavenly Secrets Guard.

Back inside the car, Dongfang Wenshui heard his request and immediately shouted, "That's impossible!"

Without even looking at him, he stared at Mu Qianxue and said, "Using the Empress's life in exchange for the lives of so many people, this business will not be at a loss at all. Or could it be that the Empress would rather watch one by one, than save them?"

Dongfang Shou's face was solemn as he said, "Even if you kill them, don't think you can survive."

"I know, that's why Dora and the others have to carry it." Yan Chong Shan did not place his threat in his eyes. He walked around the group of people from the Southern Wasteland and grabbed the embroidery child kneeling at the back, saying in a gloomy voice, "How about ?" "Let's start with this smallest one!"

Xiu'er happened to receive some whips from Shen, and was then hanged for a long time. The water was still dripping down, and all that was left was her weak breathing. Rather than saying she was kneeling, it would be better to say that she was lying on the side on top of her sister, Bai Ning.

Being grabbed by Yan Zhongshan in midair, she didn't even have the strength to struggle and could only beg like a cat.

Bai Ning was so anxious that her tears fell. She ignored the steel knife on her neck and said anxiously, "Don't hurt my sister. I beg you, she doesn't know anything. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I beg you, don't hurt Xiu'er!"

Yan Zhongshan did not care about what she said and continued to throw at the ground. Seeing this, Mu Qianxue hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

She knew these two sisters, and they were the daughters of her cousin the King, whom she had been given the title of King in the South. Although she and the King were not siblings, they had a good relationship, and at the time of their marriage, the King's family had even specially come from the South to send them off; she did not expect that such a situation would occur the next time they saw each other.

Yan Chongshan stopped what he was doing. "So you're saying that esteemed wangfei agreed to respond to the heavens?"
