"Ha ha!" The man in white threw his head back and laughed, but his tone became even colder after he finished. "Does His Highness the Duke of Qin think I'm a fool? If we release them, we won't have any conditions to negotiate anymore! "
"Then what do you want?" Murong Yu asked calmly.
The man in white glanced at Murong Yu, Murong Chong, and their men. He pondered for a moment and said, "If His Highness Duke of Qin is really sincere, then I'll cut off his right hand!"
Yun Shengyue, who was listening at the side, was terrified. She was afraid that Murong Yu would do as he wished, so she quickly shouted, "No! No! Yu, don't listen to him, I don't want you to come and save me like this! "
Murong Yu took out his sword and stared at the man in white. He asked, "If I chop off my right hand, will you be able to guarantee that Duke Ming and my wangfei will leave the mountain first?"
"You! What's the use of asking this? Can these people keep their word? " They were still brothers, and Yue'er was still waiting to be saved. If the other party didn't keep his promise, then what could they do? Wasn't it the same as risking their lives by relying on their own martial arts?
Your Highness Duke Ming, what are you so anxious for? Once Duke Hui dies, no one will be able to fight with you for the position of Crown Prince. Don't miss such a great opportunity." The man in white casually said something to Murong Yu before turning to Murong Yu and saying, "Your Highness, although kidnapping a pregnant woman as a hostage is indeed a bit despicable, it's still a solution. Your majesty, your highness, it's not hard to hire a pregnant woman as a hostage, but you have to do it yourself.
"No!" "No way!" Seeing that Murong Yu really wanted to make a move, Yun Shengyue was so scared that she shouted, "Murong Yu, don't listen to him! If you cut off a hand, I'll cut off a hand too! If you die, then the child and I will die too!"
Murong Yu and Murong Mingyue were both stunned when they heard this. Yun Shengyue had wanted to rush over, but she was blocked by the grey-robed man's sword. She looked extremely excited as she looked at Murong Yu with a determined gaze, trying her best to show that she wasn't joking.
Seeing the two of them staring at each other for a long time, Murong Rong's heart was filled with mixed emotions. It seemed that Yue Er's heart had indeed been set on Murong Yu. He must have been overthinking things.
After giving it some thought, his heart grew excited. He turned to the man in white and said, "Let them go down the mountain. This King will stay behind!"
"Aiya, this show is really getting more and more interesting. Is Duke Ming stepping forward to save this pair of lovers?" I didn't expect Duke Ming to be so full of both love and friendship, I'm impressed! Since both of you want to save this woman, why don't both of you come at once and exchange for her life? This woman already has a grandson in her stomach, so wouldn't Madame Baili in the palace be happy as well? Now that both of you have a descendant, you can rest in peace! " The man in white spoke in an eerie tone, his voice a little unnatural.
"You finally revealed your purpose. Who exactly are you? Why did he want to murder a member of the royal family? The crown prince must have been harmed by you, right? " Mu Rong Ming asked with a sharp voice.
Murong Yu retracted his gaze from Yun Shengyue and looked at the man in white, saying, "You put in a lot of effort. Furthermore, you're wearing such a thick mask, so you must be someone we know. Speak!" Who the hell are you? What is the purpose of this action? "
"Who am I? Haha! I might be kind enough to tell you when you're down to your last breath. As for my goal, I originally only wanted to deal with the Duke, but you, Duke Ming, interfered. It messed up my perfect plan, so I was very, very unsatisfied! Second Bro, you should cut a cut off the body of wangfei first! "
Ah!" Just as the man in white finished his explanation, the grey-clothed person on the left of Yun Shengyue swung his sword and slashed at her right arm. Thankfully, he did not slash with it, but only made a shallow cut, but bright red blood quickly seeped out and dyed her light pink dress red.
Seeing that, Murong Yu was furious. He waved his sword and rushed towards the man in white with a curse: "Bastard! How dare you hurt her! I want your life! "
However, Murong Yu only made a feint and took advantage of the time when he didn't have the time to call out the commanding officer to rush towards Yun Shengyue. Black One and the others had followed Murong Yu for a long time, so they had a tacit understanding of each other. They didn't need Murong Yu to give any orders; they understood his intentions the moment they saw him, and they immediately moved to stop him and the grey-clothed man.
Furthermore, Murong Yu was using all his strength because he only had this one chance to rush to Yun Shengyue's side. Thankfully, he had calculated it perfectly, and with his courage, he wasn't a match for the gray-clothed people blocking his path. He quickly injured a few of them, and killed the two closest to Yun Shengyue.
However, it would be difficult for them to escape. The man in white reacted, angrily ordering them to surround him, and the archers fired again. The man in white climbed onto the boulder, and Black and the others were only stopped for a second before they were forced to retreat.
"Good, good, good! If you all want to be fellow lovers, I can grant your wish! " The man in white also lost his patience for playing with cats and mice, "Duke Ming, watch on, I will clear all obstacles for you right now! "After you kill the King, you can be at ease as the crown prince. If you become the emperor in the future, how would the Three Palaces and Six Houses not be women? This pregnant woman is already pregnant with someone else's child, so there's no need for that."
The man in white spoke in a rather ambiguous manner. It sounded as if he had some sort of collusion with Duke Ming. Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue were fine, but the Black Armored Army guards were all looking at Murong Ming with a peculiar gaze.
Murong Yu hurriedly looked at Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue, but they were still hugging each other without fear of death. They were furious as they said, "Stop trying to sow discord here. If you know what's good for you, quickly let the Duke of Qin and the Royal Consort go. I'll let you two off the mountain. Otherwise, none of you can escape!"
"Your Highness Duke Ming, you better not turn hostile. This isn't the first time we're cooperating. The last time we were able to succeed, we'll definitely have no problems this time." The man in white was deliberately misleading everyone.
"Kill those two!" Without waiting for Murong Chong to explain, the man in white gave the order.
The grey-clothed person had slightly dodged the arrow previously, but the arrow seemed to have eyes. One half of it flew towards Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue like a locust swarm, while the other half shot towards the Black Armored Army's guards.
One of Murong Yu's arms were wrapped around Yunsheng, while the other held his longsword so tightly that not a single arrow could pierce through. However, how could a single person's strength be stronger than that of so many people, with a grey-clothed person blocking the way.
Even though Murong Fu hesitated for a moment, he immediately reacted. Waving his hand towards the guards he brought with him, he shouted, "Quick, save the Duke of Qin and the Royal Concubine!"
The man in white did not think that they would actually dare to go head to head against him. A fierce battle was fought right at the top of the Azure Dragon Mountain, and the heavenly lord was not in a good mood, the wind was blowing faster and faster, and soon, large drops of rain began to fall.
The man in white was getting a little anxious as he shouted loudly, "Shoot with all your strength and force the Duke of Qin off the cliff!"
In fact, even without his orders, Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue were already in danger. Although Yun Shengyue knew a bit of martial arts, her opponent was not in close combat. Furthermore, she did not have a weapon in her hand, but her empty hand could not block a bow.
However, more and more arrows were being shot. The guards were blocked on the other side. They saw that there were already some casualties, but they still could not break through. It seemed like they could not hold on any longer.
"Let me go!" If Murong Yu was alone, he should be able to escape the encirclement.
Murong Yu focused on blocking the flying arrow. How could he leave Yun Sheng behind? There was no need to even think about it!
"Don't worry about me. You won't be able to escape with me!" Yun Sheng shouted once again.
Murong Yu said harshly, "If you can't escape, we'll die together. I definitely won't leave you behind!"
"Yu!" When Yun Sheng saw that his other shoulder had been scratched by an arrow, he felt his heart tighten. Were they really going to die because of a thousand arrows? Her pitiful unborn child. She didn't even have the time to take a glance at him. She was truly unwilling! She looked at the cliff and said, "Yu, I don't want to die under their arrows!" It was too tragic for him to be killed by a random arrow.
"Yue Er, don't be afraid …" Murong Yu was slightly taken aback and let out another muffled groan. An arrow had already pierced through his left calf.
"Yu!" I'd rather jump off the cliff than be killed by them! " They were also blocked. Although there were many guards, the stone road to the top of the mountain was narrow. There were also people shooting arrows from high up in the sky, so many people would not be able to make it here. There were only a dozen or so people fighting on the mountaintop. Murong Yu was already injured, and if he were to bring her along, the guards wouldn't be able to save them.
Murong Yu was also extremely anxious. He had to tightly protect Yun Shengyue behind him, making it impossible for him to jump and dodge. He had to rely on the sword in his hand to swing down the crossbow since he was already injured.
With Yun Sheng's stomach being so big, it was the best target. It was unthinkable for him to be hit by an arrow. "Yue'er, I'm sorry. I wasn't able to protect you well …"
"Stop it!" You must escape and avenge us! " She thought that if she was in Murong Yu, she definitely wouldn't give up on her own life to escape. Then, the two of them could only die on the edge of the cliff together. After thinking for a while, they steeled their hearts and jumped off the cliff.
Murong Yu immediately understood what Yunsheng intended to do. He hurriedly turned around, but it was still too late to grab hold of her. His back was struck by another arrow, but he didn't feel anything.
"Yue Er!" Looking at his rapidly falling light pink clothes, he also cried out in grief and jumped down to chase after them!
