Empress’ Conquest - C279 As long as she was safe

“You … Who are you?! Return my son! ” Hearing Qiang Er’s weeping, Su Manhe’s eyes widened and her cherry lips trembled. She madly rushed toward Ge Zhen, but was knocked back by a strong gust of wind. When she fell to the ground, she spat out a mouthful of blood!

Xu Bixuan watched this scene, her palms leading the wind. She suddenly jumped up and threw her palms out towards Ge Ya. Ge Zhen lightly flicked his sleeves, causing Xu Bixuan to fall to the ground! To Xu Bixuan, Ge Zhen had held back a bit!

Who exactly are you?! Why do you want to catch that child?! ” Xu Bixuan was calm in the face of danger, her eyes wide with anger!

“Who I am is not important! The important thing is that I need this child now! ” Ge Zhen looked at the struggling baby in his arms and a frightening light flashed in his eyes. These days, he had already discovered that his Qi was leaking strongly. If he didn’t replenish the energy that he had accumulated for decades, he would definitely lose!

“You … What are you trying to do?! Give me back my child! You crazy bastard, return my child! My strength! ” Su Man He’s face was covered in tears. Her pale lips were trembling as she shouted. She forced herself up and rushed at Ge Zhen!

“You’re courting death!” Ge Zhen’s sharp gaze flashed past and he struck his palm towards Su Man He. Luckily, Bi Xuan managed to push Su Man He away in a second. Otherwise, she would have died without a doubt!

“Who the hell are you? Why are you making things difficult for a child! ” Looking at the trembling Su Manhe on the ground, Xu Bixuan pointed her jade-like finger at Ge Zhen and shouted angrily!

“Difficult? Since I’ve protected you for so many days, I naturally have to replenish you. You can only blame this child for not staying in a suitable place! ” A cold light flashed in Ge Zhen’s eyes, he suddenly raised his wrinkled hand, his five fingers bent together as he was about to grab the top of the baby’s head. Su Man He shouted fiercely, kneeling on the ground and begging nonstop, Xu Bi Xuan immediately took out a gold hairpin and inserted it into his neck, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

“Listen! How dare you hurt this child! I will die right in front of you! ” Xu Bixuan’s every word was sonorous, and her eyes were filled with determination.

Ge Zhen was startled and couldn’t help but look at Xu Bixuan. She pursed her lips as the light in her eyes became more and more frightening!

“You want to force us to death?! “Do you really dare to die …” The ghostly voice lingered in the upper palace of the cold palace, causing the air to suddenly freeze. Su Manhe looked at Xu Bixuan in disbelief, her eyes full of guilt and gratitude!

“If I die, what do you think will happen to Li Ao Yu? At the very least, he will definitely not be able to answer your request! ” Xu Bixuan gritted her teeth as determination flashed in her eyes. She fiercely cut her jade hand that was holding the hairpin!

Dark red blood oozed out from Xu Bixuan’s snowy neck like a beautiful flower. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her expression was extremely resolute!

“You’re really going to lose your life for this child?” Ge Zhen suspiciously looked at Xu Bixuan. What she said was reasonable. If she lost those five hundred virgin boys for this baby, then it would be too much of a waste!

“You can try!” Xu Bixuan solemnly said, her hand holding the golden hairpin advancing another point!

“Forget it, I’ll return it to you all!” Looking at the chubby boy unable to take a breath, Ge Zhen couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. But after all, he didn’t want a baby, but 500! One for five hundred, it wasn’t worth it!

Goshen then threw the baby up, Xu Bixuan tossed away the golden hairpin, took the baby back in one stride, and gave it back to Su Manhe!

“Son!” “My strong son …” Su Manhe tightly held the child in her arms, crying like the rain, crying without a sound!

“I’m fine now …” “Don’t worry …” Xu Bixuan subconsciously raised her jade-like hand to cover the wound on the side of her neck!

“Bi Xuan … Are you okay … Are your injuries serious?! ” Su Man Lotus held Qiang Er in one hand while her other hand took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom to lightly wipe away Xu Bi Xuan’s oozing blood!

“Ugh …” The slight pain caused Xu Bixuan to inhale a breath of cold air. Luckily, it only hurt her skin and flesh, the bleeding had already stopped!

“Bi Xuan … Thank You… “I really don’t know how to say it. I tried to kill you several times before, but now you are repaying me with grievances, leaving Man He speechless …” Qiang’er was the only thing she believed in. If Qiang’er had something to do with her, then there was no reason for her to continue living. Xu Bixuan had not only saved Qiang’er’s life! And hers! If there was a chance, she would definitely repay this great kindness. Even if it cost her life, she wouldn’t hesitate …

The next day was sunny and bright. Shangguan Yannan went to the tower early to find Xiao Jing.

“General Xiao, Shangguan Yannan greets you!” When Xiao Jing saw that it was Shangguan Yannan, he greeted her courteously and returned the greeting with a cupped fist!

“I wonder what chief Shangguan has come here for?” Although Xiao Jing wasn’t a traitor, he was adept at using his skills to flirt and flatter others! In fact, Xiao Jing had seen Shangguan Yannan in the Imperial study more than once!

“I don’t dare to accept your advice. Yesterday, I was defeated and the Emperor summoned me to the palace to discuss a plan to retreat. This old man has a plan to discuss it with General Xiao!” He could pretend to be a grandson in front of Li Aoyu, but other than that, he, Shangguan Yannan, was still the Martial Alliance Head, and should have the same attitude and aura as Li Aoyu.

“Alliance Head Shangguan, you think too highly of me!” “The Emperor has said that he wants me to cooperate fully with Alliance Head Shangguan!” Xiao Qing respectfully bowed. This way, if he made a mistake, he could easily be taken out of the sect!

“General Xiao is too polite!” I have ordered some men to hide on the city walls to cover them, but there are less arrows, so I have also sent some men to forge them and transport them here, I believe that the day and a half will arrive soon! Therefore, the “Heavenly Weapon” from Leng Ao Tian’s side will only cause trouble if it is not sufficient! ” Shangguan Yannan had only one goal in mind! If he won this battle, forget about his relationship with Li Ao Yu, back then he led the crowd and besieged Luo Xin Ye and Leng Ao Tian, if Leng Ao Tian ascended to the throne, how could he let him off so easily!

“Very good! Then this Xiao will arrange the manpower! Alliance Head Shangguan, this way please! Let’s go to the city gate tower and inspect it. If there is anything wrong with it, you can give us some pointers! ” Xiao Qing was also smart. At this time, he didn’t seek for merits but never failed!

Ling Yang (the hub between Dingzhou and the capital)

“This humble subject pays his respect to Your Majesty!” Zheng Kui walked into the hall. Other than Leng Ao Tian, Yin Yuerong, Xia Hou Ming, and Chu Jian were there.

“Old General, please rise!” His eyes shone with an abnormal light, and as Zheng Kui stood up, his thin lips slightly opened as he spoke.

“Yesterday’s great victory has proven that the” Heavenly Soldiers “we train really do have the effect of a miraculous victory! So, I want to take advantage of this victory to attack the capital tonight! We can’t give them time to think of a way to retreat! ” Leng Ao Tian could not wait any longer. He wanted to force Li Ao Yu to appear, force him to hand over Xu Bi Xuan!

Everyone heard him and looked at each other. They all had their own thoughts!

“Your Majesty …” Would it be too risky? The sneak attack last night was indeed a success, but our target was still a hundred thousand soldiers, and in the capital, other than the hundred thousand soldiers who were defeated last night, there were still seven hundred thousand soldiers. Even if we paid the fifty thousand back last night, it would only be four hundred and fifty thousand. Yin Yuerong understood that Leng Ao Tian wanted to save Xu Bi Xuan, but she had lost with a single mistake. She didn’t want Leng Ao Tian to lose because of a moment of impulse!

“Don’t we still have nearly ten thousand heavenly soldiers?!” They could fight one against ten, and yesterday was the best example! If we do not take this opportunity to attack, and Li Ao Yu thinks of a way to break it, then we will be in a passive position! ” He could wait, but Bi Xuan who was inside could not wait any longer! For Bi Xuan, he was willing to give it a try. He had to force Li Ao Yu!

“Emperor Shu, Mingxuan thought that we won the battle yesterday, but it was also to alert the enemy. I believe that both the capital and the exterior are heavily guarded, and that this might not be the best time to attack! Furthermore … Yuerong’s words weren’t unreasonable. It wasn’t difficult to outdo others with fewer victories, but if they were to face the enemy head on, then this chance of winning … “It’s not big!” Xia Hou Ming was a man of his words. If he attacked now, his chances of winning were less than half of his current opponent’s!

“Your Majesty! This old official agrees with General Xia! Should we think of a good strategy again? Attack the city rashly… This old official is afraid … “This matter shall be reversed …” Zheng Kui was an experienced general and knew the consequences of attacking blindly. Not everyone could bear the consequences!

“Alright!” I have decided! They were going to attack the capital tonight! Old General Zheng, go back to the camp and prepare the ten thousand soldiers. Tonight, we’ll go straight to the capital! I will make Li Ao Yu pay for what he did! I have already decided that there is no need for further discussion! ” Without waiting for anyone to speak, Leng Ao Tian had already flicked his sleeves and left!

Zheng Kui glanced at Yin Yuerong. “Since Your Majesty has ordered it, let’s do it …” Yin Yuerong understood that Zheng Kui wanted his to persuade the emperor again, but seeing how determined Leng AoTian was just now, he believed that he wasn’t making this decision on a whim!

“Then… “Fine!” Zheng Kui left helplessly. Xia Hou looked at Yin Yuerong.

“I understand the feelings of King Shu… If it had been me, I would have made the same decision… The only thing we can help him with now is how to win this battle! ” With a trace of gentleness in her deep eyes, Yin Yuerong slightly nodded and left the lobby.

The door creaked open as Yin Yuerong walked into Xu Bixuan’s room.

“As expected, the emperor is here …” After closing the door, Yin Yuerong walked towards Leng Ao Tian! She had expected that Leng Ao Tian would arrive at Xu Bi Xuan’s room. After coming out from the front hall, she directly went to look for him …

“Are you trying to persuade me to give up on the idea of attacking the capital?” The low voice carried a sliver of hoarseness, but Leng Ao Tian did not look back. He only calmly looked at the jade hairpin on Xu Bi Xuan’s dressing table! It was given to her by the Queen Mother …

“No …” Bi Xuan was trapped in the imperial city, so the emperor was anxious to save her. Yuerong knew in her heart that Bi Xuan was even more gratified, but … If that scene were to be repeated, I would only want to know the Emperor’s choice? ” Yin YueRong narrowed her eyes, waiting for Leng Ao Tian’s answer.

“I only want Bi Xuan to be safe …” Dark jade eyes rippled with a deep chaos, what choice was there to make, ah! Not to mention a single time, even if he did it a hundred times, his choice would still be the same! He wouldn’t let Bi Xuan suffer even a little bit of damage!

“In other words… For Bi Xuan, you’d rather die once more … They would rather let this Great Shu River Mountain fall into the hands of Li Ao Yu, would they rather our hard work go to waste? Watching everyone’s efforts and sacrifices become worthless? Your Majesty … “This is your choice …” She did not want Leng Ao Tian to give up on Xu Bi Xuan, but to calm him down. To save Bi Xuan, one’s life was not necessary!

“Consider me selfish …” Maybe I really am not qualified to be this Emperor… Yuerong, I understand what you mean. As the emperor, I am not only carrying the life and death of a woman on me. But as a man, for the sake of my beloved woman, I have no reason to give up … For Bi Xuan … I would rather let the world scold me than regret… I went to the study! I have confidence in tonight’s operation… ” Icily bowing his eyes, he bypassed Yin Yuerong and left Xu Bixuan’s room!

Looking at the lonely silhouette of Leng Ao and Tian’s receding figure in front of her, Yin Yuerong couldn’t help but lament. It seemed that it was time for the hundreds of thousands of South Yue army to depart!

According to the original plan, after the time had passed, Leng Ao Tian launched his second attack on the capital city. First, he unleashed his “Heaven Ranked Soldiers” into the vast sky, and his four hundred thousand strong army was ready to attack!

On the tower, Shangguan Yannan and Xiao Jing were overjoyed to see the firelight in the sky. All the archers were already in position, and the battle was about to begin!

Xiao Jing wanted to let the archers prepare, but was stopped by Shangguan Yannan!

“General, please wait a little longer. If you shoot the arrows, then the army gathered outside will not attack the city, and they will not fall into your trap!” Shangguan Yannan’s eyes flashed!
