"Then what should we do?" Shang Yiqing felt like she was going to collapse. The goddamned King Xuan had actually taken her father away. How hateful!

Only then did Dongfang Hao let go of Shang Yiqing's hand and asked, "Did the letter say where the imperial physician was being held?"

"Yes, it is said that it is at the pavilion located ten li east of the city. Let's go now." Shang Yiqing hurried outside.

"At this point, we can only act according to the circumstances. Let's go!" Dongfang Hao let out a long sigh. Although he disapproved of Shang Yiqing taking such a risk, he had no other choice but to follow along with the sword in his hand.

Ying Ying, unwilling to be outdone, dashed away. "I want to go as well."

"You …" Dongfang Hao's lips twitched. He wanted to advise her not to go, but unexpectedly, Ying Ying had already said the first few words, "Dongfang Hao, don't block my way anymore. I know that King Xuan won't let Princess Rong go so easily, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it won't help you at all. Ying Ying paused for a moment before a trace of determination appeared in his eyes. "Perhaps, if I were to go, I might ask King Xuan to release them. In any case, I won't sit idly by and watch all of you take another risk. Let me go as well!"

Dongfang Hao clenched his teeth. He knew that Ying Ying would not listen any longer. He could only say, "Okay. There's no time to lose. Let's go."

By this time, the merchant was already straddling his horse, eager to go out. Dongfang Hao and Ying Ying followed.

The three of them ran out of the Rong King's Manor and headed towards the east side of the city. The Rong King's Manor was also located in the east side of the city, not far from the pavilion.

Shang Yiqing jumped off her horse and ran towards the pavilion. Dongfang Hao grabbed her. "Princess Rong, don't be so impulsive!"

"I want to save my father! I can't just watch and do nothing! " Seeing that Shang Tiancheng was being held by a few people, Shang Yiqing gripped her sword tightly, wishing that she could cut off their heads first.

"Let's see if there are any ambushes." As Ying Ying said this, she hurriedly looked around. Sure enough, there were some sounds coming from the surrounding forests. It seemed like there were more than just these few people in this pavilion.

"I don't care about that!" Shang Yiqing held the sword in her hand and shouted, "Duke Xuan, you don't need to hide anymore. Release my father, or I will not let you off lightly!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw King Xuan strolling slowly out of the woods with an oil-paper umbrella of snow-white plum blossoms in his hand. He had a calm smile on his face as he casually asked, "Princess Rong, are you not going to forgive me, or am I not going to?" At this point, with a "hua" sound, a large group of men rushed out of the forest. Each of them looked strong and sturdy. One look and it was clear that they were all martial arts experts.

"Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you have more people. Release my father!" Shang Yiqing was not afraid at all. She had nowhere to retreat to now. Since she was here, she decided to go all out. Even if she gave up her life, she could not ignore his father.

"King Xuan, don't do any more evil. Do you know the consequences of what you've done?" Ying Ying also raised her voice.

When he saw Ying Ying, King Xuan's expression changed unnaturally, but his tone remained the same. He only asked her, "Ying Ying, you shouldn't have involved yourself in this matter. It originally had nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me? You sent people to kill my big brother, does this have nothing to do with me? When I was in Dongyu Country, Hou was almost blown up by the people I was sent to, do you still think it has nothing to do with me? " The more Ying Ying said, the angrier she became. Although she knew that King Xuan had always had intentions against her and was a little embarrassed in front of him, Duke Xuan's actions had long made her hate him thoroughly. Now that she had said all of this, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ying Ying, do you know how close This King is to you? The matter of the Empire of Dongyu was truly unexpected." King Xuan paused for a moment before saying such words.

Ying Ying shook her head coldly. "I don't want to hear so much from you. Hurry up and release Imperial Physician Shang!"

Before King Xuan could speak, Dongfang Hao took a big step forward and stood in front of Ying Ying. "King Xuan, let Imperial Physician Shang go. I know you've been conspiring against us all this time. Take this chance to turn around before you've committed a great sin."

"You are …" King Xuan thought he was seeing things. This person was too similar to Fang Zinan. Even the way he spoke was almost the same as Fang Zinan. Could he be the person Li Guo Guo was talking about? What was his identity? Why did he appear by Shang Yiqing's side? Now that he was protecting Ying Ying, what sort of relationship did he have with Ying Ying?

Of course, Shang Yiqing could see the confusion in King Xuan's eyes. She pointed to Dongfang Hao and said, "This man is the Prince of Dongyu, Dongfang Hao. Your subordinate was defeated by him last time. If you don't want to die, you'd better not force him to take action." Shang Yiqing's words were half true and half false. Her main purpose was to intimidate King Xuan so that he would retreat in the face of danger.

When Shang Tian Cheng saw his daughter, he shouted anxiously, "Qing Er, why are you still here? Your father is just a bunch of old bones, you shouldn't have come. "

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Do I still count as a human if I don't save you? " Shang Yiqing did not want to hear her words.

When King Xuan heard these words, he smiled slightly, completely ignoring the conversation between the father and daughter and directly asking Dongfang Hao, "You are the Eastern Yu Country's Qi King? Why are you with Princess Rong? What's your relationship? "

Dongfang Hao laughed heartily, and said, "You're wrong. The reason I came here is not related to Princess Rong. For the sake of our Empire of Dongyu, Prince Rong led an army and set off. Even if I had to repay him with favors, I would definitely do the same. "Moreover …" At this point, he cast a profound glance at Ying Ying. His expression returned to normal. "Since Ying Ying is here, I must be as well."

King Xuan retreated a few steps and pointed at Dongfang Hao. He said hoarsely, "Fine, since you've come here for Ying Ying, This King will let you die here!"

Dongfang Hao raised his long sword and smiled coolly. "If you have the ability, then beat the sword in my hand."

"Attack!" Following King Xuan's order. All of his men brandished their weapons and rushed forward. Dongfang Hao didn't even furrow his brows. He drew his sword and struck out with it. Shang Yiqing and Ying Ying joined in the fray as well. Meanwhile, King Xuan was standing under a pine tree with an oil-paper umbrella. The snow was falling in front of him, but he was calm and composed. Taking away the Imperial Physician was only one of his tricks. Even if an accident really did happen, at least he would still have Princess Rong as his trump card. Perhaps he could use this card to turn the tables.

Once Dongfang Hao unleashed his sword art, the people near him were swept away by his sword Qi. They were a little frightened, and didn't dare to move forward.

"Dongfang Hao, I'll fight you!" Li Guo squeezed forward. The last time he lost to Dongfang Hao, he was still unwilling. Now that he saw Dongfang Hao again, he could not help but feel angry.

Dongfang Hao's lips curved into a mocking smile. "You still dare to speak bravely when you've lost to him?"

Li Guo was so angry that she raised her sword and stabbed towards him. He couldn't stand Dongfang Hao's mocking and ridicule. In fact, Dongfang Hao did this on purpose. After fighting with the men that King Xuan brought, he knew that their strength was actually not that great and that Li Guoguo was the most difficult to deal with, so he had to enrage Li Guoguo and kill his as an example. Seeing Li Guo striking with her sword, he could only slightly turn his body, and with a backhand slash.
