"Since you are not a princess, there is no need for us to go after you …" "Hmph …" With a small sneer, he walked up to Xia Hou Yuying.
"Master, this girl is too noisy. How about we cut off her tongue and let you drink?" As she spoke, she pulled out the dagger at her waist and waved it in front of Xia Hou Yuying, causing her to gulp.
"You … How dare you! If Royal Father finds out, I will tear you to pieces! "Let me go …" Looking at the shining dagger in front of her, Xia Hou Yu Ying felt her hair stand on end, her eyes filled with unconcealable fear.
"Heh …" I really don't know, if it wasn't for your Royal Father's protection, how could you still say such presumptuous words. Who knows, maybe those people who were bullied by you will tear your body into ten thousand pieces! " Little Jun disapproved.
"Who the hell are you? "What do you want?" He had been drugged in the Residence of Han, and now that he was tied up here, there was no doubt that all of this was part of the Duke of Han's plan, and the person he was referring to should be Xia Hou Bo.
"Brat, this has nothing to do with you, don't interrupt or else …" If you say another word, I will cut a hole in that girl's face! " Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but the glint in her eyes had nothing to do with the sense of ridicule.
"You … What do you want! "This princess can give you all …" Xia Hou Yuying seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right, and she immediately restrained her arrogant attitude, almost begging for mercy.
"I'm afraid you can't afford what we want …" Little girl, what time is it? " Baili Chuxiong laughed coldly as his gaze turned sharp like blades.
"When he was just a child, Xia Hou Bo didn't seem to be as pampered as he was rumored to be, this proud little sparrow …" Little Jun disapproved.
"I already told you that if that old rogue doesn't show up after we get married, he will help you collect his daughter's corpse and make a move!" Baili Chuxiong spoke coldly, his voice was devoid of any warmth.
"Okay …" Xiaoxiao replied with a sound, and raised the dagger in her hand, slashing through the air in a beautiful arc. Just as the dagger was about to cut into Xia Hou Yuying's neck, two voices suddenly shouted out.
"Stop …" One of them was naturally the Wind Blade, and the other one was Xia Hou Bo, who was rushing over.
"Let go of This King's daughter!" Xia Hou Bo was standing not too far away from Chu Xiong. He looked calm, but deep inside his heart, he felt as if there were huge waves. If he was a step too late, who knew what would happen?
"Father... "Hurry up and save me …" Seeing that it was Xia Hou Bo, Xia Hou Yu shouted crazily, without the slightest trace of a princess.
"Xia Hou Bo, look carefully, do you recognize me?" The moment Xia Hou Bo appeared, Baili Chuxiong's eyes shone with a cold light, his voice was low and filled with a bloodthirsty tone.
Borrowing the moonlight, Xia Hou Bo looked up and down at Chu Xiong, and in the next second, all the blood in his body froze, as if he had seen a terrifying scene.
"Baili Chuxiong..." You... Weren't you already dead? " Xia Hou Bo opened his mouth in shock, his eyes filled with an inconceivable light.
"Of course you wish for me to die, but unfortunately, the heavens didn't follow others' wishes. That day, you guarded the three hundred thousand strong army by yourself and yet, you refused to send out your troops, causing the hundred thousand soldiers under my command to fight to the last man. Do you know how it feels to watch your own subordinates fall one by one? The mountains were bloodstained and corpses littered the ground. That was even more painful than digging out one's heart! If my master had not figured out that I was in the midst of a great calamity and suddenly appeared to save me, I, Baili Chuxiong, would have already become an aggrieved soul under your conspiracy! " Baili Chuxiong spoke each word, his eyes as cold as a cone. A biting, murderous light could be seen in his eyes.
"It was not my wish then. If I had sent troops to aid you, I would have sent my three hundred thousand strong army into the tiger's den. It was not that I did not save you, it was just that I was powerless to do anything about the big picture!" Xia Hou Bo replied guiltily. He thought back to what happened back then. When he saw that his army of one hundred thousand had been annihilated, his heart ached as well. However, as the commander in chief, he had no other choice.
"What a grand speech! Just based on your words alone, my hundred thousand brothers will die in vain? " Baili Chuxiong did not think so. A Blood Devouring Treasure Sword had already appeared in his hand.
"Since you are avenging the 100,000 brothers, I have nothing to say. You and I can openly fight, but you are going to release my daughter first. This has nothing to do with her, so why implicate the innocent?" Xia Hou Bo opened his mouth and calmly said. From time to time, he would glance at his daughter with an expression of heartache.
"Innocent? Heh! Xia Hou Bo, do you know what 'innocence' means? Not to mention that back then you wasted the lives of one hundred thousand of my brothers, and now that your darling daughter's hands are stained with the blood of so many people, your indulgence of this girl is to the point of angering both the gods and men. Baili Chuxiong snorted disdainfully, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Baili Chuxiong!" You can do anything to me, but this old man will never allow you to touch a single hair on your head! " Xia Hou Bo's eyes suddenly turned cold as he angrily said.
"Is that so? That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so! " Baili Chuxiong cast a sidelong glance at Xiaoxiao, who naturally understood the meaning of the dagger as he placed it on Xia Hou Yuying's snow-white neck.
"Father... "Father …" Xia Hou Yuying immediately turned pale and trembled as she pleaded for help.
"Xia Hou Bo!" If you can win against me, I'll let your daughter go and swear to never bother you again. If you lose, you can rest assured that I won't hurt your daughter even a little. You won't be able to see it! " Xia Hou Bo did not dare to be slow. The person in front of him was on the same level as him more than ten years ago, and seeing how light and agile his starting point was, it was likely that his martial arts skills had improved greatly over the years. On the other hand, in the years, other than scheming and arguing with the imperial government, he did not have much time to train in the martial arts training grounds, so it was unknown whether or not he would win this battle.
The two of them clashed with each other, swords and shadows, sparks flying everywhere. The speed at which the two experts were fighting had shocked Little Ping and Feng Ren so much that they couldn't even see the two shadows, and they only felt that there were two black lights flashing in front of them, no one knew what was going on with them.
"Father …" This was the first time Xia Hou Yuying felt fear, not because of the dagger on her neck, but because of Xia Hou Bo's safety. She had never seen her father in such a battle, so no matter who he fought, he would subdue her in three moves, but in front of her, she could not even catch a glimpse of his shadow. Since she was young, she had always been domineering and arrogant, but in Xia Hou Yuying's heart, she had an extremely deep fatherly affection for Xia Hou Bo. Xia Hou Yuying did not dare to think of this. She could only stare at the two in front of her without blinking.
After who knew how many rounds, a figure suddenly flew out from the halo. When everyone looked over, they saw Xia Hou Bo leaning against a tree, his white beard already stained with blood.
"Father …" Xia Hou Yuying opened her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with worry and fear.
"Xia Hou Bo, your martial arts are so lacking!" You must have enjoyed all the blessings of the past few years, right? " Baili Chuxiong laughed coldly as he walked towards Xia Hou Bo, his eyes filled with contempt and loathing.
"Baili Chuxiong, I have no qualms about what happened that year. Regardless of whether you believe me or not, back then, I buried those hundred thousand soldiers alive and well, and even gave everyone an amount of money. It can be said that …"
"Are you trying to say that you have let them down? Heh! How funny! If it wasn't for you, they would have reached the age of having children at home, but now! Loess covers white bones, they hate you to the death! "I hate you for not attacking!" Every time he thought of the scene back then, he would feel his heart ache. Every single cell in his body was crying out. If it wasn't for revenge, how would he have survived until today?
"No matter what you say, I just hope you can let Yu Ying go. If she is in the wrong, then it is my fault as the father who neglected to discipline her. The fault is not her fault!" Xia Hou Bo knew in his heart that he was no match for Baili Chuxiong, so he only hoped that his daughter would be able to escape this calamity.
"I, Baili Chuxiong, will do what I say. Since I have promised you that I will not touch a single hair on Yuying's head, I will keep my promise, but for you!" No matter what, I have to account to those hundred thousand brothers. " As Baili Chuxiong spoke, he raised the treasured blade in his hand.
The two of them fought in the same place once again, but the outcome was already clear to everyone. Since she had become sensible, she had never heard her own father speak in such a humble manner in front of anyone. Even in front of the current emperor, her father also had his own dignity, but now, for her sake, her father, who had always been so aloof, had actually abandoned all of his dignity to beg for her. How could she endure this?
"Father... "Father …" While Xia Hou Yuying was deep in thought, Xia Hou Bo's figure once again flew out of the circle of light and landed heavily on the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and drew a magnificent red line in the dark night. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she screamed crazily.
"Tsk tsk …" "If I knew that you were so weak, I wouldn't have used this Bloodthirsty Blade …" Baili Chuxiong did not think much of it, as the tip of his blade was already at Xia Hou Bo's neck.
"If you had been in my position back then, you would have done it … Cough cough … "Make the same decision as I do, a hundred thousand soldiers dead on the battlefield, it would be better than losing three hundred thousand soldiers, but if I were you, I would definitely take revenge and die in your hands, I have no regrets, it's just that …" Xia Hou Bo struggled to look at Xia Hou Yuying, who was standing to one side. His eyes revealed a look of affection towards his father. If he were to die, what would happen to Yu Ying? Would she be able to survive without her protection?
"I'll give you half a cup of tea's time. If you have anything to say to your daughter, say it quickly!" Baili Chuxiong coldly said, but in his heart, he was slightly moved. If only he was in his position …
"Jade …" Xia Hou Bo used all his strength to push himself off the ground and staggered over to Xia Hou Yu Ying's side. His pale lips let out a smile, but blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.
"Father... I'm sorry! Sorry … If it wasn't for Yu Ying being useless, she wouldn't have been captured! All these years, Yu Ying has always been willful, but you are always so tolerant! Now, Yu Ying knew she was wrong … "Father, Yuying can't do without you …" Xia Hou Yuying screamed hysterically with tears streaming down her face. Her heart felt as if someone was grabbing her with a hand; she was in so much pain that she wished she were dead.
