Chapter 1701: Sieging the city (2)
Song Qing’s mine dealt a heavy blow to the attacking soldiers.
…………
Cloud region, Hidden Dragon City.
Blood dyed his armor red. Nangong qianrou stood on the peak of the mountain with her battle blade in hand, looking down at the city that was lit up with smoke. His feminine aura had a rare hint of bravery.
There were fleeing figures everywhere. The commoners screamed, covered their heads, and fled like rats. Yesterday, they were still having the beautiful dream of being a noble in the capital.
Today, he was slaughtered and died tragically at the enemy’s blade.
Under the leadership of the experts in the city, the 5000 armored soldiers in the hidden Dragon City gradually lost after an hour of fierce battle.
At this point, the main force had already been annihilated by Da Feng’s heavy-armored soldiers, and only a few remnants of the troops were still making use of the terrain to put up a last-ditch resistance.
Behind Nangong qianrou, there were corpses lying on the ground, all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. They were from the same line of the royal family from five hundred years ago. After five hundred years of reproduction, this line had a large population. Just the courtyard at the top of the mountain alone had hundreds of Ji clansmen.
He had no intention of leaving anyone alive and gave the order to kill without mercy.
This was the dignity that Nangong qianrou had left for the royal family. Otherwise, not to mention the men, even these delicate golden descendants would not be able to escape the fate of becoming playthings.
The armorers had stayed in the deserted military town for five months, and all of them were hungry and thirsty. They felt that even a sow was pretty.
At this moment, a general with blood-stained armor strode out of the courtyard and came behind Nangong qianrou. He cupped his fists and said, ”
“Nangong Jinluo, we found two women in the basement.”
Nangong qianrou replied indifferently, ”
“Just kill him, there’s no need to report.”
The general had a strange expression on his face as he said, ”
“She … She called herself Xu yinluo’s mother.”
Hearing this, Nangong qianrou raised her eyebrows. She had already found out about Xu Qi ‘an’s background from the head guard of huaiqing.
After Xu Pingfeng officially stepped onto the stage, the court officials all remembered this person, and of course, they also knew his relationship with Xu Qi ‘an.
This matter was not a secret in the higher-ups of the government, but all the officials had a tacit understanding to block the news and prevent anyone from spreading the relationship between Xu Qi ‘an and Xu Pingfeng.
Of course, they were not trying to cover up for the Xu family, but Xu Qi ‘an’s prestige was too important to the court, and no stain could be allowed.
As a close official of the Emperor, the guard Captain was one of the higher-ups, so he told Nangong qianrou everything that happened that night, no matter big or small.
When Nangong qianrou found out about Xu Qi ‘an’s identity, she gloated at his misfortune, but at the same time, she felt that he was really pitiful.
“Kill him!”
He ordered in a cold tone.
What’s the use of keeping parents who are worse than pigs and dogs?
“Yes!”
The general cupped his fists and retreated. He had just taken two steps when Nangong qianrou called out to him and changed her words, ”
“Bring her here.”
After thinking about it carefully, Nangong qianrou felt that it was not good to overstep her boundaries. It was better to bring it back and let Xu Qi ‘an deal with it himself. She could also gain a wave of favors.
Not long after, two armored soldiers escorted two women over. Nangong qianrou automatically ignored the maidservant and examined the beautiful woman. Her expression was still calm, without any panic or fear.
Her steps were light, and it was obvious that she had a strong cultivation.
Of course, this ‘not weak’ was only in comparison to ordinary people.
“You are Xu Qi ‘an’s mother?” Nangong Qian asked in a soft and cold voice.
The woman in luxurious clothes looked around and asked, ”
“Where Are My Children?”
Her voice was gentle and soft, showing the calm of a noble lady.
The maidservant was trembling in fear, her face pale.
“Are you in such a hurry to die?” Nangong Qian smiled gently.
He thought that this woman saw that a great disaster was imminent, so she wanted to find Xu Qi ‘an to play the family card and try to get through this disaster.
However, based on Nangong qianrou’s understanding of Xu Qi ‘an, although he was not a ruthless person, he was also a decisive person. This card of blood being thicker than water was most likely useless.
The woman’s eyes dimmed. She took a deep breath and asked, ”
“How’s the situation in the Central Plains? Xu Pingfeng lost?”
Nangong qianrou replied indifferently, ”
“I don’t know if he’ll lose or not, but you’re all dead. When you decided to abandon him that year, did you ever think that this day would come?”
The woman smiled bitterly.
big brother and the rest of the family are filled with regret. As for Xu Pingfeng, based on my understanding of him, he probably wants to kill me.
Nangong qianrou examined her.
“Kill you?”
The woman said no more.
At this moment, a figure sprang up from the foot of the mountain and landed beside Nangong qianrou with a loud bang. It was Yang Yan, who was holding a silver spear.
Yang Yan’s expression was as cold as a sculpture. He glanced at the corpse behind Nangong qianrou, then at the beautiful woman, and finally at Nangong qianrou.
The two of them had worked together with Wei Yuan for many years and had a tacit understanding. Nangong qianrou understood the look in his eyes and said, ”
“I haven’t found the hidden Dragon City Master. He’s most likely in White Emperor City. Since Xu Pingfeng had yet to return, it meant that he had given up on Yunzhou. Once we’re done cleaning up the people here, we’ll charge into White Emperor City.”
After killing their way to the mountain peak, Nangong qianrou only managed to capture a group of royal family members, but she couldn’t find the city Lord who claimed to be the Emperor.
He wasn’t too disappointed. It would be strange if the other party didn’t have a life-saving method like the teleportation jade talisman.
Yang Yan nodded gently.
“There’s no need to care about him,”
The execution mission was not just to kill the city Lord, but to wipe out the rebel Army’s main camp.
If the base camp was razed to the ground, even if the city Lord was still alive, he would not be able to do much.
Yang Yan said, ”
“Kill all the experts and soldiers in the city, disperse the people, and set the city on fire.”
After Nangong qianrou nodded, he looked at the beautiful woman.
“Why didn’t you kill this woman?”
