Heartless Phoenix Queen - C221

Tang Ao couldn’t help but think back to the words written on the paper: “I call upon you to save the country, not the king.” For the king to imprison me, the debt of gratitude has already been severed. ” The ridicule from the Violet Garden beside his ears caused him to be extremely ashamed and angry.

On that day, he had followed the order of the Regent, Murong Xiu, and reorganized the heavenly soldiers together with Liu Kuang to defend against the invasion of the North. Later on, the young lord sent his men over and appointed Liu Bao as the Great General of Xilai, and he, Tang Ao, was conferred the title of General. He just didn’t want to leave the west and destroy the entire country. He didn’t want to betray Mu Rong. No matter what, Mu Rong Xiu was his idol, the person he was most willing to follow in his life.

Therefore, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zi Yuan saying such words to him in front of his soldiers. He raised his voice, raised the spear in his hand and said loudly, “Empress of the Northern Yue, don’t spout nonsense. I not only came here under the orders of the king to fight against the enemy, but also under the secret decree of the king, that I would resist your Northern Yue attacks! ” After that, he changed the subject, “If I knew that you had come to save our prince, I would have risked my life to stop you from touching a single hair on his head!” “I can only blame myself for being blind and believing your lies. I thought you were really doing this for our prince …”

“Since General Tang has mentioned the time when the Prince was trapped, why don’t you let the Violet Garden tell you how your king treats the people of Xilai behind you? Is it okay with your idol, Mu Rong Xiu?” Zi Ling interrupted Tang Ao. “Do you want to know how your loyal king treats your prince?” If it were not for me coming to rescue you, the Prince would not be alive anymore. Would there still be a time for you to be reborn? ” Violet Garden’s last sentence was directed at the soldiers of the Celestial Armored Regiment behind Tang Ao. She could see that the army led by Tang Ao wasn’t just a regular army; it was a Heaven Armored Soldier that was based on Murong Xiu’s thoughts!

“Everyone, don’t listen to this witch’s nonsense!” Tang Ao was a bit anxious, “Although the king and the king may have some misunderstandings, the king has indeed given orders for me to assist the king and protect our country’s mountains and rivers!” As Western Ion citizens, we should protect our families and protect our countries! ” Tang Ao raised his arms and shouted. The soldiers behind him also started to shout loudly, “Protect our home and protect our country!” To protect our family and protect our country! ”

The Violet Garden knew that the Northern Desert’s attack, according to the later generations, could be considered an invasion. Since he couldn’t use words to attack Tang Ao and the army, he had no choice but to use other tactics.

“Since General Tang has already left the city to fight, we should talk less. When the time comes, Zi Yuan will have a good chat with General Tang and reminisce about old times!” As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in his hand stabbed towards Tang Ao.

When two great generals fought, according to the rules of battle, just like in ancient China, the rest of the army watched the great generals fight each other.

Tang Ao wasn’t good at close-combat. Even though he was tall and strong, he was actually very agile. As such, he was more adept at using crossbows and mounted arrows. When he saw that Zi Yuan had seized the initiative and was rushing over to kill him, he immediately turned his horse and threw the long spear at his assistant general. In an instant, he grabbed the fine crossbow that hung on his back with his arm, took out three iron arrows from the quiver at his waist, nocked them, and aimed at Zi Yuan.

What a beautiful lady! She calmly dodged two arrows from both sides, aimed at the middle arrow, and swung her sword. The treasured sword that could slice through iron like mud instantly sliced the middle arrow into two! However, before she could recover, Tang Ao had already nocked his bow and shot three consecutive arrows at Violet Garden.

The arrow brushed past her hair. It broke the ends of a few hairs and whizzed past, stabbing three times into the mud. Zi Yuan flattered his horse, trying to keep up with Tang Ao. At this moment, the battle between the two was not only a contest of martial arts skills, but also a contest of horsemanship. Fortunately, Zi Yuan had been here for a few years and his skill in riding had advanced by leaps and bounds. Now, after fighting with Tang Ao for dozens of rounds, she actually grew braver and braver.

Tang Ao watched as Violet Garden suddenly reined in her horse. The horse’s front hooves kicked in the air a few times before suddenly turning around and charging forward horizontally. Tang Ao couldn’t dodge in time, and immediately tumbled down from the horse. After tumbling a few times, he called out the deputy general’s name. The assistant general threw him something, which he caught with a mechanical hand. Then, with a nimble hand, he quickly set up a heavy crossbow mechanism on the ground. Tang Ao loaded the two quiver full of arrows into the trajectory, and had the deputy general throw him a new quiver. Both the machine and the human had their sights set on Zi Yuan. Yuan Hao, who had accompanied her into the battle, couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat as he shouted, “Be careful, Queen!”

However, he saw Zi Yuan not panicking. She jumped down from her horse and used her body to block the arrow. Pity that horse, he sacrificed his life for his master. After dodging a bunch of arrows, Zi Yuan closed in on Tang Ao. In order to prevent the heavy crossbow from hitting him, Tang Ao had no choice but to close the heavy crossbow with a mechanical hand.

Zi Yuan’s martial arts were a mix of modern fighting and fighting techniques, as well as the various martial arts of this time and space. In addition to the techniques from the Heavenly Arts Manual that he had recently stolen from Murong Xiu, each move added a feeling of flexibility and strength to his “quick, ruthless, accurate” moves. Compared to Tang Ao who only learned the Heavenly Arts Book, it was much easier to hit his opponent’s vitals. Although Tang Ao had a sturdy build, he was actually very agile. His body’s flexibility and sensitivity were both excellent, and with the cultivation of the Heavenly Arts Treasure Manual, his speed and agility definitely could not be underestimated. Thus, the Violet Garden still did not gain the upper hand in an instant.

At first, Tang Ao was a little worried that he would be at a disadvantage in a melee fight with Zi Yuan, but he didn’t expect that they would still be evenly matched after a hundred rounds. “Tang Ao’s confidence was boosted, and he was even more certain of his victory. His steps became more and more ethereal.

The Heavenly Arts Scripture had a total of thirteen levels. When Murong Xiu had secretly instructed Tang Ao to reconstruct the soldiers on a large scale, he had also taught him the eighth to twelfth layer of the chant. Tang Ao had been diligently training, and had gone from the seventh to the ninth layer. Although he hadn’t been able to reach the double-digit tenth layer, the ninth layer was already extremely powerful. His speed, observation, strength, and movements had all increased by a great deal.

Seeing that it would be difficult to determine the victor between Tang Ao and the Violet Garden, the Violet Garden raised her head and looked at the sky. Tang Ao wasn’t alarmed by this action. At this moment, he was only surprised that the Violet Garden’s attacks had a similar technique to his. He naturally wouldn’t think or believe that Murong Xiu had secretly taught the Violet Garden this.

Since it was winter, the sky would darken early, even though it was sunny. Just when Zi Yuan estimated that it was about time, she suddenly raised her arm and shouted, “Attack!”

After receiving the order, Yuan Hao immediately led the Northern Desert Army and rushed towards the western army. At this moment, Zi Yuan had obtained a war horse from the northern troop of soldiers and was about to mount it to trample on Tang Ao.

Tang Ao’s deputy general had already begun commanding the western army to fight with the suddenly attacking northern troop. Tang Ao avoided the attack of the Violet Garden’s warhorse. His anger rose as he mounted the horse and continued to fight with the Violet Garden.

The sun was setting in the west. Zi Yuan rode his horse as he and Tang Ao continued their battle, heading towards the direction of Mt. Hibiscus. Tang Ao, who was in high spirits, did not notice that he was getting further and further away from the army. They had already fought their way to a place where there were few people.

At this moment, the setting sun had completely retracted its last bit of light. Violet Garden’s horse had already released Tang Ao as it was leading him away from the crowd. The two fought back and forth until they saw a forest spread out in front of them. Alarmed, Tang Ao stopped advancing.

However, he woke up too late. The Violet Garden jumped onto a tree and pulled the rope on the tree. The soil under Tang Ao’s feet immediately loosened up. He didn’t have enough time to use his martial arts to fly and fell into the trap. In the middle of the forest, the northern troop, together with the He Yue soldiers, rushed forward and tied up Tang Ao, who was in the middle of a trap.

“Despicable! “Shameless!” Tang Ao couldn’t think of any way to ease his anger, so he could only curse as he watched the loving couple embrace each other.

The northern soldiers tied him up and hung him on a thick branch, carrying him back to the northern camp like he was their prey. When Tang Ao’s deputy general heard that Tang Ao had been captured, he hurriedly called for reinforcements to retreat, returning all the way back to the Hibiscus City to conserve his troops.

In order to prevent any accidents, Tang Ao wasn’t locked up with Murong Xiu. However, Mu Rong Xiu still learned about the news of Tang Ao’s arrest from the Northern Yue Army’s soldiers. His true qi was still sealed by the medicine that Zi Yuan gave him, and he was unable to circulate it. Therefore, he could only lie down obediently in the tent Helian Lie prepared for him. In his heart, however, he was thinking about how to find out where Tang Ao was being held.

Besides, the Northern Yue Army had used their strategy to capture General Tang Ao, the general of the Western Garrison in Hibiscus City. The morale of the troops was boosted immediately. Helian ordered that the village at the foot of the mountain should be searched for cattle and sheep wine, and that night, the three armies should be rewarded and morale boosted.

On the other hand, he and Zi Yuan had secretly brought over three thousand elite soldiers. Taking advantage of the night and the celebratory scene, they secretly left the barracks and headed for the Hibiscus City.

Qu Shuangshuang insisted on following Zi Yuan into the operation. Helian didn’t want to take her with him. She was considered a westerner and didn’t know kung fu, but Qu Shuangshuang insisted that her mother was from the north, so it couldn’t be considered a westerner. In the end, Zi Yuan was unable to refuse him and his love for his mother flourished. He decided to bring his only disciple along.

The military report that the Violet Garden had investigated earlier was already extremely detailed. Although there was a defensive array around the city, Tang Ao had already been arrested, so it was impossible for these arrays to be activated.

Thus, this elite soldier of the Northern Yue, who only numbered three thousand, easily leaped to the top of the city wall, and with a lightning speed, decisively eliminated the patrolling archers and spearmen on the city wall. Although Qu Shuangshuang was still young and had just started learning kung fu and killing techniques from Zi Yuan, her performance made Helian look at her in a new light. She jumped onto the back of the enemy and broke the enemy’s neck according to the method that Zi Yuan taught her. It was extremely efficient, without any feeling of procrastination. It caused He Lian to be stupefied and even teased Zi Yuan in a low voice, “This girl can’t be the illegitimate daughter of your Zi Yuan, right?”

Zi Yuan unhappily kicked him and gave his beloved disciple a thumbs up — she needed this kind of natural killer to nurture her!
