Heartless Phoenix Queen - C179

“Don’t misunderstand me, I just don’t think there’s any point in arguing like this.” Feng Lingxue smiled as he spoke to Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan lowered his eyes as he pondered over what Feng Lingxue’s goal was. It was not easy for him to guess his motive.

“What do you want to bet?” The Violet Garden wanted to see what tricks he was playing.

The number of soldiers was about the same as the number of soldiers he had brought with him from the East Peak, “Why don’t we each take a bow and shoot one person, and then have some soldiers shoot them from the back as soon as possible? So who can kill ten people the fastest, then who can win?”

He was indeed the cruel and merciless young duke of the Dongping Kingdom. He’d actually taken human lives as child’s play and toyed with them! However, if she agreed to his request, it would be too heartless. The soldiers of the Northern Yue had families, so she couldn’t let them die here so easily! They were all heroes of the State of Northern Yue, so their lives should be left on the battlefield to kill the enemy! It was not because of the bet, but because of his death!

Just as Zi Yuan was hesitating, the soldiers of the Northern State of Yue shouted, “General, agree! We have to beat him! ”

“That’s right!” “Our lives are worthless. As long as we can serve the Northern Yue State, even if we die, it would not be enough!” Another soldier said loudly!

When Feng Lingxue heard these soldiers’ words, he smiled and looked at the Violet Garden. “Violet Garden, the pride of these soldiers is truly admirable. Could it be that you are even inferior to these soldiers?”

“I’ll bet with you!” The Violet Garden would not let these soldiers die for nothing. If ten soldiers were sacrificed in exchange for the Northern Yue State’s victory, they could be considered to have served the country!

“Good!” Men, bring out your bows and arrows! ” Feng Lingxue had the soldiers of the Eastpan Kingdom bring him bows and arrows.

Zi Yuan stood with her back facing Feng Lingxue and the bow handed over by the soldiers of the Northern Yue State. Feng Lingxue said with her back facing Zi Yuan, “Later, we will count to three and shoot arrows together.”

“As you say.” Zi Yuan’s sharp eyes swept past the soldiers of the Eastpan Kingdom. She estimated that she would probably pretend to lose to Feng Lingxue later.

“Three, two, one …” Feng Lingxue and Zi Yuan counted at the same time.

Violet Garden’s arrow shot out first. Although her shot was not accurate, it was still not bad! She had successfully shot a soldier in the chest with the first arrow. She had used a great deal of arm strength with this arrow. It could be said that one arrow could take that soldier’s life!

Feng Lingxue’s archery was naturally superior to Zi Yuan’s, otherwise he would not have chosen to compete with Zi Yuan’s archery! Zi Yuan only shot one person, but he already shot two!

The two arrows were shooting faster and faster. It was so fast that it was hard to tell who they were aiming at. The soldiers standing on both sides were also very scared. They did not know if the next arrow would hit them!

Zi Yuan and Feng Lingxue stopped. She had used up all ten arrows, but only eight people had been shot! And of the ten arrows left in Feng Lingxue’s hand, only one remained; he had shot nine people!

“There’s no need to bet, you’ve already won!” Zi Yuan had purposely fired off all his arrows so that the soldiers of the Northern Yue would die a little less. She was going to lose anyway, so she wouldn’t lose in a very ugly way. However, this would probably disappoint the soldiers of the Northern Yue.

Feng Lingxue, on the other hand, felt that this was not enough. He drew his bow and shot his arrow, preparing to shoot the last feather arrow! The Violet Garden stood in front of him and let out a stern roar. “I’ve already lost. Do you still think that it’s not enough?”

Feng Lingxue aimed the arrow at Zi Yuan’s chest. Zi Yuan did not dodge. Actually, she was worried that Feng Lingxue would shoot her to death, but her intuition told her that he would not do so!

“Does the young duke want to kill prisoners?” “If you do that, I’m afraid Murong Xiu won’t let you go, right?” Once again, the Violet Garden brought out Murong Xiu. This time, it was Xi Li and Dong Ping joining hands. If he offended Murong Xiu, their Dong Ping Kingdom wouldn’t be in a good spot!

Feng Lingxue put down the bow in her hand and said in a low voice, “Men, take a rope and tie her up for me and bring her back!”

Hearing Feng Lingxue’s words, the Violet Garden was extremely happy. As long as Feng Lingxue brought her back, their plan would succeed by half!

The soldiers of the Empire of Dongping came over with ropes and tied up Zi Yuan’s hands. After they were done, they asked Feng Lingxue, “Little Marquis Lord, should we use a cloth to gag her?”

“No need, are you all worried that she will scream for help on the way?” Feng Lingxue walked over and pulled at the other end of the rope. With a charming smile, he asked Zi Yuan, “Do you want me to carry you and ride the horse with me, or do you want to follow behind the horse?”

“Didn’t the young duke say that he cared for the fairer sex?” “Right now, I am not some general of the Northern State of Yue and am only a woman. Don’t tell me that the Junior Marquis shouldn’t be merciful to me?” Actually, Zi Yuan didn’t want to ride with him. She was only thinking for the child in her womb. If she ran behind his horse, this child might not be able to hold on!

“Interesting.” Feng Lingxue smiled as he carried Zi Yuan onto the horse.

Feng Lingxue ordered the soldiers of the Northern Yue to be tied up and brought back. He leisurely rode his horse and looked at Zi Yuan from time to time, but he did not say anything to her. The Violet Garden was annoyed by his gaze and asked, “Why are you always looking at me?”

“I’m looking at how devastatingly beautiful you are to have two men dying for you.” Just now, when Feng Lingxue looked at her face, she was indeed stunned by her appearance. He had seen countless beauties before, but this was the first time he saw a beauty like her.

“Then you’d better stay away from me, or you’ll be the third man to die.” Zi Yuan said in a cold tone, she had no interest in a devilish, talented man like Feng Lingxue.

The smile on Feng Lingxue’s face became even more pronounced. This was the first time he had met such a strange woman. This was the first time he was so interested in a woman!

Zi Yuan’s mood did not decline. Instead, he became a lot happier because he was one step closer to her successful plan. Feng Lingxue was currently feeling very pleased with herself. Later, she would let him know how the crying character was written! Let’s talk about her in the next life!

“I don’t think you should go back to the Northern Desert. Why don’t you marry me, Little Marquis?” Although you are a member of the Helian Profound Wings, but I see that you are still a beauty, so I reluctantly accepted it! ” Feng Lingxue pinched Zi Yuan’s face.

“You’d better not touch me, or I’ll let you have a good look!”

“What do you think I’ll look good with your current appearance?” Feng Lingxue glanced at her hand that was tied to the rope, reminding her that she was currently under control!

Zi Yuan paid no more attention to what he said and continued to look ahead. She wanted to see how far away he was from where Lan Cang was hiding!

“It’s good that I don’t do anything to you now.” Feng Lingxue admired his self-control. Now that he had such a beauty in front of him, he actually did not want to take advantage of her. It was truly magical!

When Zi Yuan heard Feng Lingxue’s words, he could not help but frown. “Why do you have so much to say?”

“Talking to a beauty is naturally a bit too much.” Feng Lingxue knew that Zi Yuan was deliberately being captured by him, and he thought that she probably didn’t know that he already knew her goal.

Murong Xiu stood outside the tent as he waited for Feng Lingxue to return. When he saw that the person riding Feng Xue was unexpectedly Zi Yuan, he asked in confusion, “Ling Xue, why did you bring Zi Yuan back?”

Feng Lingxue dismounted first and carried Zi Yuan off the horse. He ordered someone to bring Zi Yuan away as he walked up to Murong Xiu. “This woman was the one who led the troops to war. However, she was defeated by me. I brought her back.”

“But …” Murong Xiu wanted to visit the Violet Garden, but Feng Lingxue stopped him.

“Xiu, forget about that woman. Don’t forget that day on the battlefield, she wanted to take your life. And don’t forget your purpose for coming here! ” Feng Lingxue knew that Murong Xiu loved Zi Yuan very much. However, if Murong Xiu loved any other woman, he wouldn’t stop him. However, he was currently working with him to attack the Northern Yue. He would definitely allow them to be defeated by a woman!

Murong Xiu asked in a cold voice, “Then what’s your next plan?”

“Bring this woman back to the East Peak, and the Northern Yue will definitely come chasing after her. At that time, we will use her as a hostage to take over the Northern Yue!” Feng Lingxue had already thought of this plan just now. No matter what the purpose of Zi Yuan’s capture was, he definitely would not let her succeed!

Murong Xiu didn’t say anything. He never thought that Feng Lingxue would be so despicable, using the Violet Garden to coerce the Northern Yue to surrender!

“Xiu, why aren’t you saying anything?” Do you think my plan is good? ” Feng Lingxue didn’t understand Murong Xiu’s thoughts, but felt complacent that his plan was very good!

Murong Xiu turned around and walked into the tent. Feng Lingxue saw that Murong Xiu had returned to the tent, so he went back to rest.

Zi Yuan had been locked up in a small tent. She had overheard the conversation between the soldiers and thought that they would probably head back to East Peak soon! Violet Garden was overjoyed when she heard this. As long as they could return to the East Mountain, it would be fine. In this way, Blue Sky would be able to annihilate them while lying in ambush on the road to the East Peak!

After a short while, Feng Lingxue had indeed called for a meeting of the army, and the Violet Garden had also been taken away! Zi Yuan and Feng Lingxue were still riding the same horse. She asked Feng Lingxue where she was going, and Feng Lingxue told her that they were going back to East Peak!

“Are you guys not attacking the Northern Yue anymore?” Zi Yuan asked as if he was playing dumb.

Feng Lingxue also replied perfunctorily, “If I can’t beat him, how am I supposed to fight?”

Zi Yuan remained silent. He knew that Feng Lingxue’s words couldn’t be trusted. She turned her head to look at Mu Rong Xiu, who was standing not far from her. His expression was gloomy as though he was thinking about something. She didn’t know what their goal was yet, but it was fine as long as they went back now!

Murong Xiu led the team forward for a while. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from the underbrush. When his horse heard the sound, it started to scream! While pulling the reins, Murong Xiu watched the situation!

Just a moment ago, it had been a loud sound, but now, it was followed by a series of explosions! Many soldiers of the Eastern Ping Country were blown to death by the explosives!

Feng Lingxue and Zi Yuan were walking behind them. She had heard the explosions in front of them and knew that Murong Xiu and the others had arrived at the place where Blue Sky had set up his ambush! When Feng Lingxue heard the sound of explosives, his first reaction was: they’ve been tricked!
