As the Empress Li's alarmed voice faded, she saw that the sword at Nan Gong Ling Yun's waist had disappeared.
Behind him was a bloody longsword controlled by spiritual energy. Even though the sword was no longer activated, it was still sharp enough to pierce the eyes.
"You killed my brother! I'll kill you! " Empress Li still wanted to act out.
"Hua!"
The sword flashed with a cold light again, before he could even see the trajectory of the sword, the Empress Li had already laid on the ground with eyes wide open, unwilling to give up before he finished speaking.
There was a moment of silence outside the inner palace.
Nan Gong Ling Yun actually defeated the Queen in one slash!
Empress Dowager stood up and shouted loudly, "Good! "Good job, this kind of reckless, rebellious beauty should be killed!"
Other than a sigh, the emperor did not show much sympathy.
Logically speaking, with the death of Empress Li and King Li Yang, the three thousand soldiers without a leader should have given up. However, it was as if they were being manipulated by someone behind the scenes. Those people didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Those who lost their lives began to shoot arrows at the monks and guards of An Guo Temple.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
Hundreds of arrows were pierced into the door. The main hall was the most packed. The Emperor, Imperial concubines, and princes who held higher statuses all hid within their tables and chairs. Only a few palace maids, eunuchs and guards were left behind. Those who were unlucky enough to survive were all pierced by the arrows that shot through the gap in the door. Some died, some struggled. In the blink of an eye, several corpses were lying on the floor. The scene was extremely bloody. The entire room was filled with palace maids screaming in agony. The luckier ones would find ways to protect themselves against the princes.
Nan Gong Ling Yun pulled Su Xia Yue tightly, hid her behind the pillar, and then rushed out by himself.
Consort, who had been hiding in another corner of the house, could not help but be worried. Her gaze shifted, and focused all of the unease and fury in her heart onto Su Xia Yue.
"Aren't you usually very powerful? Why don't you go out and accompany Ling'er? Ah, I know, are you going to wait until something happens to my Ling'er before you remarry? You woman! Anyone who marries you will never have a good ending! "
"Me? If I really have the ability, then wouldn't I be able to wipe out other countries within minutes? "
Puff.
Si Xue Yi chuckled on the side.
However, Xiao Fei was also standing on the Consort's side, and asked Su Xia Yue in a strange tone: "Consort is right, being married off to a husband, you are usually so courageous and warlike, why are you hiding here and cowering like a turtle?"
If it was any other woman, she would most likely be smirked at by Xiao Fei Su Xia Yue, and replied calmly.
"If my man is a good-for-nothing, I will naturally go out! But my man is a famous victory! A single person cannot defeat all the enemies, may I ask, do I not trust his abilities when I go out? "
"You!"
Xiao Fei, Consort were both instantly speechless.
This Su Xia Yue, not only is her ability not small, she has a glib tongue too. This really made them feel both hatred and helplessness.
Nan Gong Jing Ge who had been quiet for a long time turned and looked at Su Xia Yue. For a moment he forgot to play the fool.
However, his expression did not escape Su Xia Yue's eyes. Right now, it wasn't the time for him to reveal his fox tail, so he didn't bother with him for the time being. When that day came, he would naturally not be able to escape either.
While these people were speaking, the outside of the hall suddenly became much quieter.
People realized that Li Biao Wang's army had yet to charge in. But the rain of arrows had stopped. The shouts and screams of battle from the sea of people gradually died down. Deep in the night, the once silent and quiet chamber was filled with the thick smell of blood. Sword lights and sword shadows left bloodstains in the front and back of the luxurious room.
In just one night, the heaven turned into a purgatory, and corpses littered the ground. It was truly a tragic sight.
There were guards in the hall. They stood up with swords in their hands, intending to open the door and see how the battle was going. Just as he was about to reach out, the door was suddenly pushed open. The heavily damaged door fell to the ground, causing dust to fly into the air.
"Bam!"
They saw Nan Gong Ling Yun appearing outside the big group.
His clothes were as spotless as before the battle. However, his eyes were wide open at this moment. His dark pupils had almost shrunk into a line, and his eyes were suffused with a red glow. Coupled with his grave and stern expression, he looked like a devil from hell, extremely terrifying.
Everyone unconsciously took a step back. Then, he couldn't help but stick his head out to look.
Behind Nan Gong Ling Yun were the Li family guards and royal guards that were piled high with corpses. Thousands of bodies, blood curling along the lines of the marble floor. There were also a few scattered corpses between the broken arms. They were the people from Silver Moon Union who were wearing a silver mask, but there were a few people.
However, Su Xia Yue could feel that more than just the number of corpses, at least a few thousand of them had escaped unscathed. To be able to retreat in such a tragic battlefield, it was naturally the Silver Moon Union that possessed such abilities.
It seemed that regardless of whether it was the elders or the elite soldiers, their strength in the Silver Moon Union was not to be underestimated.
When Nan Gong Ling Yun anxiously looked around the hut's people, he focused on Su Xia Yue's body. All emotions were frozen in an instant, like a demon that had calmed down. With a few steps, he walked towards Su Xia Yue.
"Yue Er, I'm back."
The Emperor, who was two steps away from him, interjected.
"Ling Yun deserves the title of victory! "My heart is full of comfort!"
Nan Gong Ling Yun only shot a faint glance at the emperor, and then asked with a low voice, "Royal father, about this son's marriage …"
Nangong Tiancheng smiled coyly and had a helpless expression.
"Yes, we will do it as soon as the war is over!"
"This is bad!" This is bad! "
The voice of a eunuch came from outside the palace hall, hurried and panicked. The people in the hall, who had just calmed down a little, were shocked by this sound and began to tense up again.
Nangong Tiancheng was also terrified, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch rushed to the emperor's feet and panted as he reported.
"The border war is tight! "Your Majesty, please decide!"
While Nangong Tiancheng was still stunned and at a loss about what to do, and lamented the fact that the rain continued to fall overnight, Nan Gong Ling Yun had already stepped forward. He arrogantly replied with eight words.
"Violate my Zi Ye, both human and god will be executed!"
"Good job!" "After you subdue the traitors, return to the imperial court and reward us heavily." Nangong Tiancheng's eyes were filled with gratitude and praise.
Nan Gong Ling Yun did not speak further, he turned and held Su Xia Yue's hands. His gaze seemed to contain a pair of deep pools, causing one to sink into deep thought.
"Wait for me to come back."
"Yesterday, you said that you would return with me, but today, you said that when you returned, I would be controlled as I wish." The corners of Su Xia Yue's mouth slightly lowered, and she could not tell what she felt in her heart. She could only feel a lump of air in her throat.
"Love Consort can't bear to see her husband leave you?"
"No way! "I was just told that you don't follow the path of a woman, and you're already on your way to the battlefield. If I don't go with you, won't I continue to be called an aquamarine flower?" Su Xia Yue replied casually.
"So it turns out that you want to accompany me on the expedition!" "Hahaha!"
Nan Gong Ling Yun laughed for a moment, then suddenly stopped. In front of all these people, he reached out his hand and pulled Su Xia Yue to his side. He seemed to be kissing Su Xia Yue's cheeks, but in reality, he was whispering something to Su Xia Yue.
"There is still a place in the palace that needs you! Wait till I go to flatten the world, then I'll come back and accompany you to sweep this Golden House, how about it? "
"You mean …"
Su Xia Yue wanted to say something but hesitated. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Nan Gong Jing Ge.
