Wrong Marry to Cold CEO - C283
Inside the main hall, the scent of sandalwood filled the air, and Yue Ye sat on her throne, carefully studying the arrangement of the soldiers. He originally didn’t like sandalwood, but at this stage, it was impossible for him to waste manpower for the sake of obtaining a piece of dried jade.
Although there were people tidying up the hall all year round and there were also air vents, the air would always appear a bit more dark and humid. If people used sandalwood incense, they wouldn’t feel so depressed.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. Before the person could speak, he said, “Your majesty! Not good, the Northern Emperor has come to this place and is currently fighting Duan Wang in the back mountain! ” A soldier fell to his knees with a loud thud.
The map in Yue Ye’s hand shook, and she suddenly raised her head, staring at him, “What did you say?”
The little soldier crouched on the ground, his voice trembling as it echoed within the palace. “I don’t know who informed him, but he sent the northern troops to find us. I ask that the emperor quickly make the decision. Time follows immediately!”
“Your Majesty, everyone has their own orders. The more you come, the better …” The nearby priest let out a sigh, bowing deeply in the direction of Yue Ye. His face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
“I want to go out and take a look.” Yue Ye abruptly stood up from her dragon throne, and took a big step down the stairs, heading towards the entrance of the hall. The cultivator priest shook his head and no longer tried to dissuade him.
“Yi …” A weak voice came from the rear hall, Yue Ye’s body stiffened, she turned and looked at the extremely weak Xue Fu. He promised that he would bring her back to the imperial physician in a few months time!
“Xue Fu, why did you come out?” Yue Ye hurriedly went up to greet him, holding her thin shoulders with both of her hands as she said in pain.
“Are the people from the North here? They’ve already chased us here. ” The soft voice seemed to be murmuring, disappointed, and pained … She didn’t hope to return to the Ning City, but she didn’t want to see anything to happen to Yue Ye.
Yue Ye gently stroked her hair, comforting her in pain, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t lose.”
“Let me stay with you.” In the end, Xue Fu only raised this one request, and stared at him expectantly. Life or death, she just wanted to be with him.
At the back of the mountain.
Nangong Jue avoided Duan Wang’s palm, and somersaulted to stabilize himself on top of a huge rock. Dressed in a bright yellow robe, he stood against the wind, his hair fluttering.
The Duan Wang standing opposite of him was not as heroic and radiant as he was now. A few parts of his grey robe were stained with blood, and even though his body was on the verge of collapse, he was still unable to defeat Nangong Jue.
Nangong Jue looked at him with a cold smile, and raised an eyebrow: “Duke Duan, are you letting me in, or are you going to die from a single slash from me, Nangong Jue? “Killing Yue Ye is my goal today. If you want to live, then move to the side.”
“If you want to enter the palace, that is, unless I die!” King Duan fearlessly looked at him and sneered, “Do you think you can wipe out all the military forces of my State of Clouds by bribing a lackey?”
“Emperor who can’t even control the mouths of his subordinates, what right do you have to talk about restoring his country? Since Yue Ye is afraid of death and doesn’t dare to come out, then I will deal with you first! When I finish off this head of yours, the northern troop will also arrive. At that time, your ten years of hard work will all be for naught! ”
As soon as Nangong Jue finished speaking, his body immediately moved forward towards Duan Wang, and the afterimage of the blade and sword that had just stopped rang out once again. The surrounding soldiers all held their breath as they watched, afraid that Duan Wang would accidentally fall into Nangong Jue’s sword.
They, who had received orders not to act rashly, couldn’t do anything even if they wanted to. As for Duan Wang and Nangong Jue, after a few ruthless moves, they were suddenly forced to retreat step by step.
However, he still used the last bit of his strength to counter Nangong Jue’s attack. As they fought, Nangong Jue’s voice sounded out coldly: “If you can tell me where Yue Ye is, and where Xue Fu is, I’ll spare your life.”
“Yue Ye will not come out to fight you, and Xue Fu will not be your concubine either. After Duke Duan finished speaking, his chest was struck by Nangong Jue’s kick, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out from his mouth onto the muddy ground in front of him.
“Your Highness!” The soldiers at the side cried out in fear, only to see Duan Wang down on his knees, stabbing his sabre into the ground to stabilize his body, causing blood to continuously gush out from his mouth.
“Sixth brother …” With an urgent shout, Yue Ye’s figure finally appeared in front of everyone, appearing together with them. There was also Xue Fu, riding on the same horse, standing at a high place.
“Yue Ye, you finally appeared.” Nangong Jue laughed coldly and turned around to face him. Just like Yue Ye, only when he saw her would he take off the cold mask on his face, becoming gentle and emotional.
“Save the Prince!” Yue Ye shouted at the crowd, only then did the soldiers, who were standing still and didn’t dare to act rashly, rush forward, rapidly taking the heavily injured Duan Wang Jia with them.
Yue Ye’s gaze that was like a blade suddenly turned, landing on Nangong Jue’s body, who was sitting in his embrace, Xue Fu could feel all the muscles in his body tense up, that was a sign of him getting angry.
But Nangong Jue’s gaze was still fixated on that slender and weak body of Xue Fu’s from start to finish, as he asked blankly: “Xue Fu, how did you become like this?”
It had only been ten years, and if she could get so skinny, she would be like a tree that was about to lose its life. Where did the beautiful, ice-clear, and water-like Bai Xue Fu go?
“Didn’t you say he loves you?” Nangong Jue almost bellowed out these words. Ten years ago, they had agreed to live and die in the desert, yet at this moment, they had actually turned the woman he had never forgotten into such a state.
Xue Fu weakly curled his lips, and revealed a faint smile with great difficulty. He looked at the flustered and said, “Nangong Jue, stop fighting.
“Absolutely not! I’m going to get you out of here! Leave this man! ” Nangong Jue sprung up, unceremoniously attacking Yue Ye with his blade and sword. Yue Ye picked up Xue Fu, spun around and got off the horse, avoiding Nangong Jue’s moves. She stared at him and said, “If you can kill us today, then please take Xue Fu and leave the water mountain, and find the antidote!”
Nangong Jue was stifled, and looked at Xue Fu in astonishment once again. Naturally, he did not know that Xue Fu had been poisoned, and did not want him to have more time to be surprised. Yue Ye had already unsheathed her sword, and the sword’s momentum was as fast as rain. He wanted to avenge Duan Wang!
Xue Fu stood at the side, staring at the two men who were fighting in a daze. Madame Jade had been whispering to her the whole time: This is fate, a fate that had already been decided in my previous life.
She knew that she was powerless to stop this battle that was about to break out, and she also couldn’t stop Yue Ye and Nangong Jue’s blades from colliding. She was just a weak girl. As the sun shone down on her, everything began to spin. In front of her eyes was the abyss of thousands of battles. She tried her best to stabilize her steps, but her body was still on the verge of collapse.
The sounds of swords and sabers were so intense that it almost broke her ears. The sunlight that was circling above her head seemed to be the end of her life. Shamefully, it transformed into a dim color.
“Xue Fu —!” Just as her body was about to collapse, she heard an anxious and frightened call.
The moment Xue Fu’s body fell down the cliff, Nangong Jue let out a startled cry and instinctively leaped up to save her. But at this very instant, Yue Ye’s sword ruthlessly pierced through his chest, her blood flowing like water.
A deep red figure flew past him, rapidly flying towards the edge of the cliff. In the end … Only Yue Ye could save her, just like only Yue Ye could enter her heart.
He wanted to bring her to the antidote. He wanted to save her, but … He no longer had the ability to do so! His blood was rapidly draining away, losing his life force!
