Sickish Prince is Scheming - C314
He felt very angry in his heart, but it was all because of the general situation. Even if the situation in Nanhai was tense, he still couldn’t just leave things behind, so he could only head out angrily and ask, “Where are the Grand Preceptor’s soldiers? Let me go meet him!”
Fang Zinan followed him out of the barracks. His heart was in a mess now. He had been worried to death when he saw Shang Yiqing’s letter just now. He had intended to leave right away, but to his surprise, the Grand Preceptor dared to offend him again. He was furious and said to Xiao Tianyi, “We definitely can’t let him off this time!”
“I know!” Xiao Tianyuan’s expression was terrifyingly dark; he had never had such an expression before.
As the two of them reached the front of the formation, they saw the Grand Preceptor leading his men outside the city to clamor. Xiao Tianyuan raised an eyebrow. “Let me go chop off the Grand Preceptor’s head!” As he spoke, he led a group of men and charged forward.
Nan Yu Lan hurriedly walked out of the camp and saw Xiao Tian Yuan leading his men out. He couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”
Fang Zinan gave a muffled grunt. “The Grand Preceptor’s brought troops to invade. General Xiao is on his way to accept the challenge!”
“I’m going too …” When he heard that, Nan Yulan was about to follow.
Fang Zinan reached out his hand, putting it in front of her to stop her, “General Xiao has already taken his men. You can stay in the camp.”
Nan Yu Lan bit his lower lip, and with a cold face, he said loudly: “No, I have to help him.” As he spoke, he pushed Fang Zinan’s hand away and walked forward resolutely.
Fang Zinan looked at her with a bitter smile. He had always held reservations about Nan Yulan’s identity and actions. In his opinion, Nan Yulan was a hitman and didn’t care what methods she used. Although he disapproved of this person, he was sure that Nan Yulan’s feelings for Xiao Tianyi were real! As he thought of this, he thought of Shang Yiqing. She knew so many things, would King Xuan let her off so easily? His heart ached, he wished he could grow wings and fly back to the Southern Marsh. But he couldn’t. Now that the Grand Preceptor’s remaining men were invading again, as a great general, how could he abandon everything and run back to the south marshes?
Xiao Tianyuan led his troops to the front of the formation. When he saw the Grand Preceptor leading his men and cursing, he raised his voice. “Xiao Tianyuan’s here. Who’s going to fight me!”
Someone from the Grand Preceptor’s side immediately rushed over. Xiao Tianyuan spurred his horse forward, the longsword in his hand shining brightly in the rustling wind.
In a single exchange of blows, that person fell to the ground from his horse. A sword pierced through his chest, causing blood to flow all over the ground.
Although the Grand Preceptor’s men had long known about Xiao Tianyuan’s prowess, they couldn’t help but shudder when they saw him kill a man with a single sword. They all backed away in fright.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Preceptor hollered, “You’re not allowed to retreat!” Whoever dares to retreat, I will chop off their head! ” Then, he raised his broadsword to intimidate the crowd.
Seeing this, the soldier could only helplessly move forward. Although he was charging forward, he only moved forward slightly. He didn’t dare to charge at Xiao Tian Yuan. They were so angry that the Grand Preceptor had chopped off a soldier’s head with his saber, but none of the remaining soldiers wanted to lose their heads.
Xiao Tianyuan ordered: “Attack!”
When the soldiers saw that he had killed the enemy as soon as he came up, their morale was greatly boosted. They picked up their weapons and charged forward. The two armies immediately began to fight in front of the formation.
Xiao Tianyuan led the charge towards the enemy. While they were fighting, they suddenly heard a clear and melodious shout: “I’ll help you!” Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Tian Yuan’s heart warmed. On this battlefield brimming with killing intent, hearing this voice was like drinking a cup of sweet wine. His entire heart felt warm. He could not help but turn his head with a smile. “You’re here!”
The red dress of the Southern Yu Lan was like the most gorgeous red glow in the strong wind, causing her cheeks to look like two beautiful flowers blooming. She was not far behind Xiao Tianyuan and had a bright and crafty smile on her face as she held her sword against the wind.
“Why are you here?” He had already dealt with the situation today, so he really shouldn’t have come over to take the risk.
Nan Yulan arrived in front of him and chopped down an enemy with his sword. “Since you’re here, of course I want to be with you,” he said disapprovingly.
“What a fool!” Xiao Tian Yuan could not help but say. At the same time, he thought of something and his face darkened. He was in a daze and did not notice the enemies coming towards him.
When Nan Yu Lan saw the long blade that was slashing at Xiao Tian Yuan, he stepped forward to block it and asked in surprise: “Xiao Tian Yuan, what are you thinking about?”
“Nothing?” Xiao Tian Yuan came back to his senses and continued to kill the enemies.
Seeing that the Grand Preceptor’s army couldn’t win, they could only retreat and disperse like birds. Seeing this, the Grand Preceptor ran faster than anyone else.
“Let’s chase!” He couldn’t let the Grand Preceptor go so easily this time. Xiao Tianyuan knew that Fang Zinan was in a hurry to return to the imperial court, so he didn’t dare let his guard down. As he spoke, he took the lead in chasing after them.
Nan Yulan followed closely behind him, not moving an inch away from him. No matter what the future was, as long as he could be together with her, no matter how dangerous it was, it would be sweet to be together with her in battle.
The Grand Preceptor resisted as he retreated, quickly retreating far away.
Xiao Tian Yuan looked over and saw a forest. He was a little uneasy and told everyone in a clear voice, “Everyone be careful!” While he was speaking, he suddenly saw two rows of archers rushing out from the forest. They were shooting at Xiao Tian Yuan’s army! Many soldiers were hit by the arrows.
“Be careful!” Xiao Tian Yuan leaned forward to block in front of Nan Yu Lan, using his sword to block the attack.
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Nan Yu Lan quickly said: “You be careful too!”
At this moment, the two rows of archers had just knocked down a row of soldiers and disappeared into the forest.
Xiao Tianyuan was very angry. He knew full well that the Grand Preceptor was in the forest, but he didn’t dare to rashly charge forward. There was no need to mention how furious he was!
Nan Yu Lan stepped forward and advised him: “Don’t fall into the enemy’s trap! “The Grand Preceptor’s in the forest. We’ll send someone to surround him and see where he can escape to.”
Xiao Tianyuan nodded: “I know.” He then ordered, “Surround the forest. If anyone tries to escape, do not let any of them escape!” As soon as he said this, the archers who had entered the forest earlier suddenly revealed their faces. Another wave of arrows shot out and many of them were shot. Before anyone could react, they had already rushed into the forest.
Xiao Tianyuan was furious and raised the sword in his hand. “Men, charge in with me!”
“Don’t be rash!” Xiao Tian Yuan was already so angry that his eyes were burning. His usually calm face was already filled with anger, but he didn’t listen to what Nan Yu Lan said and continued to rush into the forest!
“Xiao Tianyuan …” “Xiao Tianyuan …” However, Xiao Tian Yuan had already rushed into the forest, so she could only follow along.
Who would have thought that as soon as Xiao Tian Yuan’s men entered the forest, they would hear the screams of the soldiers. “Ah!”
“Xiao Tianyuan …” Nan Yulan was anxious to death. The Grand Preceptor had definitely set up an ambush in the forest, so he didn’t know how to deal with Xiao Tianyuan. Thinking of this, she charged forward without a care for anything else!
The moment she rushed into the forest, she suddenly heard Xiao Tian Yuan’s clear and urgent voice: “Lan Er, don’t come over!” However, since she had already rushed over, she no longer cared about anything else!
