C1963 Final volume
Hong Yuetian found Xiao Ting's words a little hard to believe. No matter how bold she was, it was impossible for Xiao Xiang to publicly kill the entire Royal Brother.
Seeing Hong Yuetian frowning and not saying a word, Xiao Ting became anxious, the usual calm and composed attitude had disappeared without a trace and he shouted: "Uncle Hong, you can't watch me die, quickly think of a way!"
Hong Yuetian pondered for a moment, then turned his head and shouted: "Men!"
Following his words, a guard came in from outside and interposed himself to pay his respects. He asked, "Master Hou, what are your orders?"
"Immediately send word to the twelve dukes that the Fifth Princess has harmed the first prince. Please come to me as soon as possible to discuss the matter."
"Yes sir!" The guard cupped his hands in response, turned around, and walked away quickly.
Seeing that the guard had accepted his orders and left, Xiao Ting heaved a long sigh of relief. He gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Hong, the thirteen marquis soldiers are strong and strong, after joining forces, I want to see what abilities this girl Xiao Xiang has. This time, I'll make sure she'll lose her reputation and live a life worse than death!"
Hong Yuetian was not as optimistic as him, with the support of Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lv You and the other great generals, near the capital city, there were six divisions of troops directly under the Chief General. Even if all the thirteen dukes combined their forces, it would still be difficult for them to win, but, right now, Xiao Xiang had a huge advantage over the others.
He suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously: "Eldest Young Master, where is Second Young Master?"
Xiao Ting blinked his eyes and said unconcernedly: "It was all with great difficulty that I escaped, how could I still have the energy to care about him? Presumably, he is still in the city!"
Hong Yuetian stomped his feet again and again, there were many people who supported Xiao Yuan on the thirteenth path. Now that Xiao Ting had ran out and threw him into the city, they were afraid that they might not be able to unite all the other thirteen paths together.
But as matters stood, it was already impossible to save Xiao Yuan, so blaming Xiao Ting was useless. Hong Yuetian laughed bitterly and said: "Eldest Young Master, just rest in your tent. I think, Xiao Xiang's guts may not be big enough to attack my Hong Family Army!"
Xiao Ting heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said: "Nephew will depend entirely on Uncle Hong!"
"Aiya, Young Master is being too polite!" Hong Yuetian immediately replied with a bow.
Hong Yuetian thought that with the Eldest Young Master and his prestige, it would be enough to gather all of the other twelve dukes. At least half of them had been summoned, but the outcome had completely exceeded his expectations.
The troops that had gone to deliver the message to the various marquis all returned, bringing back the same amount of news. All the marquis decided to head to the Hong Family Army encampment to discuss the matter, and people also brought back with even more frightening news: The Central Army's first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, tenth, twelfth ? All nine armies were making their way towards the encampment. Currently, the fastest First Army had already stopped at a location not more than five kilometers away from the Hong Family Army encampment, ready to attack.
Hearing the military's report, Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian were dumbfounded. Only after being startled for a while, did Hong Yuetian regain his senses, and shouted loudly: "Are the fifth, seventh, and eighth squads under Ren Fang's command? Could it be ? Even Ren Fang pledged his allegiance to Xiao Xiang? "
Xiao Ting suddenly cried out in alarm, and anxiously said: "I know, no wonder Xiao Xiang dared to attack me, the one who kidnapped Ren Fang's family was her! He must have used Ren Fang's family as a form of coercion to force Ren Fang to do things for her, what a despicable and sinister woman! "
"Eldest Young Master ?" A soldier who reported the news swallowed his saliva, revealing a hesitant look. Hong Yuetian shouted angrily: "Stop stuttering, if you have something to say, say it quickly!"
"Yes ?" Yes! Any... The General Ren's family was found, it was ? They were found in the palace, the one who kidnapped the General Ren's family was actually ? So it's actually Jin Liren ? "
Hearing that, Xiao Ting's eyes became as big as bells, he grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted: "Say it again?"
"Yes ?" It was the family member of the General Ren that Jin Liren kidnapped. Jin Liren had now committed suicide out of fear. The Mandate of the Eldest Young Master... "That's why I'm doing it ?" He did not finish his sentence, because Xiao Ting's handsome face had already become even more sinister than that of a ferocious ghost, and even his facial features had twisted into a ball.
"Bullsh * t!" Without even waiting for him to stand up, Xiao Ting rushed forward like a madman and kicked him, shouting frantically, "When did I, this young master, order Jin Liren to kidnap Ren Fang's family? He's slandering us! This is simply slandering me! "
The soldier rolled on the ground as he was kicked by Xiao Ting, screaming: "Please spare me, Young Noble, I didn't say this, it's spread like this outside, please spare me, Young Noble!"
"Is this how it was spread?" Xiao Ting suddenly stopped, as though his tail had been stepped on, he screamed out loud, and with a retract of his sword, he roared: "This young master wants your life first!" As he spoke, he raised his sword and chopped down.
Hong Yuetian stepped forward, stopped him, and said anxiously: "Calm down Young Noble, let him finish speaking first!"
"Uncle Hong ?" I... I have never asked Jin Liren to kidnap any of Ren Fang's family members ? "
"I know, I know. Young master, please calm down first!" While Hong Yuetian was trying to persuade the enraged Xiao Ting, he turned around and looked at the soldiers who were lying on the ground. His face was covered in blood as he shouted, "What exactly happened, hurry up and tell this marquis everything!"
The soldier trembled as he crawled up from the ground and knelt in front of Hong Yuetian, narrating all the rumors he had heard once again in detail. In the end, he stuttered and said, "All the dukes thought that the General Ren had kidnapped their family. It was a cowardly escape, so ? No one dared to come ? All the dukes said, "If you dare come to our aid, then..." If you stand on the Eldest Young Master's side, it would be like ? It's a rebellion! "
Weng! * Hong Yuetian's head buzzed, his vision turned black, and his body swayed, almost fainting on the spot.
Xiao Ting's face instantly turned pale white, the sword in his hand dropped to the ground. Then, he rushed to Hong Yuetian's side and grabbed onto his arm, screaming: "Uncle Hong, I ? I have never had anyone kidnap Ren Fang's family members before, this ? This is a trick, it must be one that Xiao Xiang set up. Uncle Hong, you have to help me, no matter what, you have to help me this time, if even you don't help me, then ? I am hopeless, then no one can help me! "2
Xiao Ting was currently in a state of incoherent speech. His face was shockingly white as beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead and cheeks.
Hong Yuetian looked at Xiao Ting, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Ting was not stupid, on the contrary, he was smarter than the majority of the people in the world. He would never do something as stupid as letting Jin Liren kidnap Ren Fang's family members, and even hid the hostages in the palace, how was this possible?
Hong Yuetian comforted her: "Eldest Young Master, do not panic. As long as this marquis is here, no one can touch Eldest Young Master!"
Just as he finished speaking, more soldiers rushed in to report, "Reporting! Reporting to the general, Fifth Princess has led nine legions to gather around our troop, and upon discovering that Fifth Princess is already in front of my army camp, he asked to see the general! "
Hearing this, Xiao Ting's body trembled. He held Hong Yuetian even more tightly and said with a trembling voice, "Uncle Hong ?"
Hong Yuetian muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "It's good to see Xiao Xiang, I want to see what she wants to do. Eldest Young Master, just wait in the camp peacefully!"
"No, Uncle Hong, I ?" I will go with you! "
"This ?" Hong Yuetian thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, but after meeting Xiao Xiang, Eldest Young Master cannot be impatient.
"I understand, I understand!" Xiao Ting took deep breaths continuously, trying to calm himself down as much as possible to calm his emotions.
Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian brought thousands of guards and walked out of the Hong Family Army Camp. When they arrived outside the camp, they raised their eyes to look at the opposite side. The flags were waving in front of them, and the troops were like a forest.
What a big battle formation! Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian frowned at the same time.
A mile away from the Hong Family Army Battalion, there was a single cavalry unit. All of them were riding on their horses, the riders atop them along with their war horses were clad in steel armour, this was the most courageous and warlike Steel Armor Cavalry from the Chuan Cavalry.
It had the characteristics of fast speed, fierce attack and strong defense, and was a sharp weapon to directly break through the enemy lines. It was just that the armor of the Steel Armor s was more difficult to forge, the number of Steel Armor s in the Chuan Army was not many, and most of them were placed in the First to Fifth Legions of the Chuan Country.
In front of the Steel Armor cavalry line, stood a splendid gold and jade carriage. The carriage was tall and wide, pulled by eight fine horses, and was precisely Xiao Xiang's carriage.
Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly. The former understood, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder, directly towards Xiao Xiang's carriage.
When the distance between the two parties was less than thirty steps, Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian pulled their warhorses, raised their heads and looked at the other side, and saw that the one sitting in the horse carriage was not Xiao Xiang but someone else. To the left and right of the carriage, there were Zhang Situ, Ren Fang, Bu Ying and a bunch of Chuan Country generals.
Although Xiao Ting was a noble, he had never been on a real battlefield in his entire life. Compared to him, Hong Yuetian who was by his side seemed much calmer, as had seen too much of such a battle formation in his life.
Hong Yuetian's face was filled with calmness, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Xiang who was inside the carriage, and laughed out loud first, then asked: "Your Highness has brought me to the Hong Family Army encampment in such a large number, I wonder, what business does Your Highness have?"
