Feng Ye raised the bow in his hand and shot continuously with a cold face. One of the two falcons hovering in midair was shot down, while the other flew away.
"Retreat!" When Xiao He saw that the three of them had arrived, this meant that more reinforcements were about to arrive. He immediately gave the order to retreat decisively.
His speed was as fast as lightning.
All of them were elites. After personally trained by him, they were always used to break through the most difficult bases on the battlefield. Their specialty was — Fast! Fast! Fast!
He purposely used it to kill Ninth Prince and Lian Ruyue today. Hmph, they got lucky. His eyes revealed an arrogant and wanton smile. He, Xiao He, was invincible on the battlefield. Lian Ruyue had underestimated him!
However, Feng Yunzheng's two subordinates were indeed not simple, they had actually broken through his Lightning Team's attack twice.
Feng Ye, Feng Yu, and Lian Meng rushed to the edge of the cliff. They all ran down from the horses and looked down. They could only see the vast fog below, and they couldn't see it clearly.
At this time, a large number of guards had already arrived. They stood at the edge of the cliff, waiting for orders.
"Eighth royal brother, those people earlier were so fast and left no traces behind. In such a short period of time, no trace of them could be found." Feng Yu's speed was unbelievably fast when he saw those people disappear before his eyes.
It was precisely because of this that they were so quick, causing them to be caught off guard. As soon as they heard the abnormal sound, they had already rushed over, but they were still unable to make it in time.
Fast? A hint of thought flashed through Feng Ye's eyes.
"Young Master!" Leng Mei and Ye Feng hurried over, both of them looking nervous.
His eyes revealed a trace of determination, "Lead the way and find it. No matter what, we must find it!"
"Everyone listen up, immediately go down the cliff and find someone!" Feng Ye raised the long sword in his hand and ordered loudly, his voice unconsciously trembling.
"Yes sir!"
Everyone immediately went down the cliff to search for the person. The Art of Acupoint Charging led the way, causing the yellow mulberries picked by Lian Ruyue to fall onto the ground.
Not far away, a pitch-black figure turned around and left with an expressionless face.
Lian Ruyue, you forced me to do this. Since you chose to stand with the Ninth Emperor, I can only choose to kill all of you.
After Xiao He and his men quickly disappeared from the riding field, he dismissed the Lightning Corps and went to meet up with his father and the three lands. Now, he was going to accompany them to the palace to apologize before the emperor and bring his big brother, Xiao Shan, back to the palace.
His eldest brother had been imprisoned in prison for a full month. His mother had begged for forgiveness in front of the empress dowager, but he wouldn't take back his orders to participate in the country exam. From then on, the Xiao family had lost a capable general.
Most importantly, the Emperor no longer trusted the Xiao family like before. This was what made his father, Xiao Zhenhai, the most uneasy.
However, he had finally avenged the enmity between Xiyue and the Ninth Prince!
But a complicated expression was revealed within Xiao He's eyes, but! He gritted his teeth as he tried to erase the unfortunate thoughts of Lian Ru Yue and Feng Yunzheng that he shouldn't have.
The ancient saying, 'when you give birth to a jade, you give birth to a jade'.
Lian Ruyue, this marquis admires your intelligence and great abilities. It's just that we were born to be enemies. We have you and I, and I have you and I have you.
As for Ninth Prince, you might be a wise duke, but it's a pity that our Xiao family's support is from Fourth Prince —
It was all because of fate.
He gritted his teeth and charged straight to the palace. On the galloping steed, he tore off the black clothes on his body, threw it into the air, then unsheathed his sword, and with a swipe, the clothes fell to the ground, revealing his purple robe.
"How is it?" Xiao Zhen softly asked as they arrived at the True Sun Sect.
"He fell off the cliff." Xiao He jumped down from the horse and replied.
"Did you get shot?" Xiao Zhenhai asked.
"The Ninth Prince is carrying an arrow."
"That's great, that arrow was poisoned. The poison was the Fourth Prince's idea. Now that they've fallen off the cliff, they won't be able to find a doctor to treat them. It's a narrow escape." Xiao Zhenhai clapped and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Xiao He was stunned. "Poison?" Father, the Lightning Corps never used such a despicable method. This is my rule! "
"He'er, extraordinary times, extraordinary methods! I know that you have your principles and rules for your Lightning Corps, but Lian Ruyue is extremely cunning, and her conspiracy with Ninth Prince is unstoppable.
"You saw the empress dowager's birthday banquet last time. They turned the white one into the black one and the black one into the white one. Someone who's so ruthless must use even more ruthless methods to fight back. This is something your father taught you since you were young." Xiao Zhenhai said.
"That's right, second brother. Father's words are reasonable. Don't take it to heart." Xiao Hu advised from the side.
"Yes, Father." Xiao He slowly lowered his fist.
"Let's go, we've entered the palace. If we enter now, we'll be able to clear you of any suspicions. I have to say, His Highness' plans were very meticulous and perfect. He made your mother beg the empress dowager to release your big brother today." Xiao Zhenhai patted Xiao He's shoulder before striding forward.
Arriving at the Hall of Rongyuan, Xiao Zhenhai led Xiao Hu and Xiao He to kneel outside. An hour later, Xiao Shan was finally brought out of the Sky Prison.
Xiao Zhenhai saw that his eldest son had lost all of his previous pride in a short month. His eyes were filled with fear and caution.
What an outstanding son, what a proud and proud person he was to have been tortured to such a state, and yet to have to be taken out as a cripple.
He swallowed and the four of them went up to the emperor to apologize. They thanked him and the emperor said some words to thank them again before telling them to leave.
Xiao Shan trembled all the way. His entire body was trembling and he did not dare to say a single word. It seemed that he was quite frightened.
After exiting the Hall of Rongyuan and rushing towards the True Sun Sect, Xiao He's eyes inadvertently glanced over and saw a figure wearing a shirt hastily running past from the other side. His expression was anxious.
His heart trembled slightly as he continued to walk forward. The four of them arrived at the True Sun Sect.
Xiao He turned around and looked around. Finally, he stopped and said, "Father, Big Brother, Third Brother, I still have matters to attend to. You two return to the estate first." As he spoke, he turned and left.
"He'er, don't do anything foolish. Your big brother only released you." Xiao Zhen Hai shouted as he watched his son walk away.
"Yes, Father." Xiao He's figure quickly disappeared from their line of sight. Xiao Zhenhai frowned as he looked at the back of his son.
"Father, where is second brother going?" Xiao Hu said.
"This kid has so much love, I wonder who he looks like?" Xiao Zhenhai sighed.
At the hospital.
A figure dressed in cloth hastily ran over, shouting anxiously, "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, my mother is sick, hurry and come with me to Changchun Palace to take a look."
