    About this ebook

    In her previous life, the person she married was not a decent man. As a noble empress, she was still framed by the person she trusted the most. She was hacked into pieces and died due to injustice. In her rebirth, the struggle for imperial power was still unavoidable. She cast all the misfortune she had suffered in her previous life into the shape of a sword or armor. It would shake the world and shake all the rivers and mountains. Who said that she was venomous, jealous, and unscrupulous? She would wipe out her enemies and help her husband ascend the throne. Who said that she, Feng Ning Yan, would hold the hand of government and shake the foundations of the country? Then she would kill all the deceitful officials and ascend the throne! However, who would know that what she did was not to rule the world, but to live forever. Her goal was the name branded deeply in her heart by her past life. Shen Lingjue, I will not let you down in this life.

      Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - Die RanYi

      IT

      CHAPTER 201 - SUBSTITUTE LAMB

      Seeing Shen Lingjue spitting out blood, Feng Ningyan's heart ached, but she did not dare look at him.

      Just at this moment, a sharp scream came from behind a nearby tent.

      Was it Hua Ruoyu's voice?!

      Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. They saw a gorgeous dressed girl with a head full of jade stepping out from the back of the tent.

      She was frightened out of her wits, as if she had seen something terrifying. Staring straight at the dark corner, she stammered,

      Don't come over! There's always a debt to blame, and I'm not the one who killed you. Why are you looking for me?! Go away!

      She was Hua Ruoyu.

      Just now, when she was feeling elated, she only felt someone calling her name from behind. When she turned around, she saw a face that was badly burnt. She was so scared that she didn't even see clearly before she hastily ran out.

      At this time, she suddenly heard a fleeting and ethereal voice:

      "Even though you didn't kill me with your own hands, I died because of you! You slandered the Young Marshal, causing you to lose control of your body, and let me help you look for the seedling doctor Ye Baiku to treat your illness. I actually trusted your words lightly, and did something that would let the Young Marshal and the Great General down, dying miserably at the hands of the Gnome killer! Hua Ruoyu, just how many lies are you lying to me?

      This voice sounded rather familiar. In his panic, how could Hua Ruoyu tell who the voice belonged to? He was the first to recognize the charred face and thought that Yue Qing's soul had come to settle the score with her.

      She fearfully retreated a few steps. Suddenly, a wave of cold wind swept past Hua Ruoyu's temples without warning, and with a crisp sound, a row of golden hairpins at her temples fell down with tinkling sounds.

      Seeing that, Hua Ruoyu finally knew how powerful she was. Covering her face as she cried, she turned and ran.

      Sorry Brother Yue! It was I who framed Feng Ningyan for killing the crown prince, made up the lie that she poisoned me, and prevented me from getting pregnant. I used your trust and sympathy for me, and separated the relationship between the two of you, so that Feng Ningyan could investigate you and lure you to the Qing Mei Zhuang … But I didn't kill you!

      As a guilty thief, she was too frightened to care about too many people. She could only run towards too many people, thinking that she could escape from the cold wind this way.

      Feng Ningyan, Shen Lingjue, Feng Wei and the others looked at Hua Ruoyu in astonishment, but they did not see anything terrifying appearing behind her.

      However, her words clearly showed that the rumors in the army camp were fake by her, spread by the spies, and Feng Ningyan was framed!

      All the soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, blocking Hua Ruoyu's escape route.

      Just at that moment, a cold light suddenly shot out from behind the tent, Ka!, it latched onto Hua Ruoyu's shoulder, it turned out to be a black skeleton of a palm.

      Hua Ruoyu suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder. When she turned around, she saw a skeleton hand that was like charcoal grabbing onto his shoulder.

      Ah-ah-don't kill me! Brother Yue, I followed His Highness King Cheng's instructions and did all of this! I beg you, please let me go!

      Once he said that, thousands of gazes, that were like sharp arrows, shot towards Shen Youhuang who was standing on the balcony.

      Shen Youhuang was shocked, she never thought that Hua Ruoyu would actually lose her mind and say everything, even giving him everything she had.

      King Cheng! Is what Hua Ruoyu said true!?

      Feng Wei was furious, he angrily coughed and asked Shen Youhuang.

      Feng Ningyan was even more confused.

      Shen Youhuang's plans were meticulous, Hua Ruoyu was also a sinister and ruthless person, why would she go crazy for no reason and say out everything?

      What exactly was behind that tent that made Hua Ruoyu so afraid, and who threw out that charred eagle claw?

      She subconsciously looked at Shen Lingjue, only to see his expression was cold, without a hint of surprise or puzzlement, without an indescribable calmness.

      Her eyes quickly swept across her surroundings, and only then did she realise that Jing Qi had already disappeared some time ago.

      Could it be that Hua Ruoyu had suddenly gone crazy from fright, was it because of him?

      Thinking of this, Feng Ningyan was both surprised and happy.

      So it turned out that he was here to pester her to no end, and had secretly sent Jing Qi to arrange everything …

      Looking at the blood trail at the corner of Shen Lingjue's mouth, Feng Ningyan could not help but feel pain in her nose, as though a knife was twisting around her heart.

      Shen Youhuang's face alternated between green and white. Listening to Feng Wei's questions, he could tell that countless soldiers were glaring at him.

      But things had already come to this point, how could he truly accept this crime?

      He could not help but be enraged, and shouted loudly: Flowers! What the hell are you doing! You actually dare to lie and frame This King!

      At the side, Eunuch Gao Zhan anxiously walked down and grabbed the black skeleton hand on Hua Ruoyu's shoulder. He looked at the tent and shouted: Men! Capture that deceiver!

      Prince Cheng's Mansion's personal guards immediately rushed towards the tent Hua Ruoyu was hiding in previously, but there was no one behind the tent.

      Gao Zhan threw the pitch-black skeletal hand to the side, and said to Hua Ruoyu in a low voice: Consort, you have most likely fallen for someone else's trap …

      Hua Ruoyu was scolded by Shen Youhuang, and hearing Gao Zhan's words, he shook his head in a daze, unable to believe that he had just fallen into her trap.

      No... Eunuch Gao, there really was a ghost there just now …

      Shen Youhuang was afraid that Hua Ruoyu would spout more nonsense, exposing even more, and said in grief:

      Flowers, just how many wicked things have you done behind my back! It was in vain for this king to place so much importance on you, yet you actually did such a thing. How can you live up to the kindness General Feng had shown you over the years, and how can you live up to the love this king has for kneeling and begging for marriage!?

      As a result, he had actually pushed everything to the point where it was completely unexpected for Feng Wei, Shen Lingjue and the others.

      Feng Ningyan's heart was pounding. Could it be that Shen Youhuang was planning to draw a clear line between him and Hua Ruoyu, and wanted her to be the scapegoat?

      With his personality, it was very possible that he would do so. However, how could a person who feared death like Hua Ruoyu easily admit to having committed all of these crimes?

      Hua Ruoyu was still in a daze, and when she heard that Shen Youhuang had pushed all of the blame onto her, she couldn't help but stare blankly.

      She was his side concubine! Was he just going to add insult to injury to injury like that?

      Look at that Shen Lingjue, she dotes on Feng Ningyan to protect him at all times, compared to him, what kind of man was Shen Youhuang!

      Seeing that Hua Ruoyu still did not understand his meaning, Shen Youhuang continued to speak:

      There is nothing that can be done about a man. There is nothing that can be done about it. There is nothing that can be done about it. Ruo Yu, this king knows that you have a good heart, if you can admit your wrongs, tell the truth, and you, an innocent person, can still be this king's secondary wife, this king will definitely plead on your behalf. "

      Hua Ruoyu finally understood what Shen Youhuang meant.

      The only way for him to save Hua Ruoyu's life was to keep him safe and sound.

      How could Hua Ruoyu not understand this account? Furthermore, she had said the wrong thing in her panic.

      She suddenly started crying, pointed at Feng Ningyan and said: I beg King Cheng and Uncle to uphold justice for Ruo Yu, the words just now, were all forced by Feng Ningyan! Earlier, she told Ruo Yu that if he didn't help her get rid of these crimes, she would assassinate the King Cheng and me … This is Ning Nanjun's camp, Young Marshal Feng has said so, Ruo Yu is just a weak woman, how can I dare disobey!?

      CHAPTER 202 - KILLING TO SILENCE

      What did you say! Shen Youhuang was extremely shocked when he heard it, and looked towards Feng Ningyan.

      Feng Ningyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Hua Ruoyu, everyone saw that you ran into the ghost of the Vice General Yue and were so frightened that they told the truth. Now you want to bite back and let me take the blame?

      Shen Lingjue also thought that it was ridiculous, so she stood behind Feng Ningyan and looked at him coldly.

      He had long since understood everything. A mocking smile appeared on his face, like a provocation or more like a warning.

      Shen Youhuang immediately understood, it turned out that Hua Ruoyu had lost her mind, it was all Shen Lingjue's doing!

      At this time, the soldiers whose hearts were with Feng Ningyan could not hold back and roared.

      That's right! Wangfei, for you to slander us like this, do you really think we are blind and deaf!? "

      You did such a heinous thing, the Vice General Yue's vengeful spirit has found you, and he was the one who sought you out for your life! You still dare to lie!

      When Hua Ruoyu heard it, she was so shocked that she covered her head and ran to Shen Youhuang's side while shouting, Prince, save me, save me!

      Seeing that Hua Ruoyu had gone mad from fright, Gao Zhan immediately grabbed her arm and brought her to the balcony in front of the handsome tent, handing it over to Shen Youhuang.

      Shen Youhuang glared at Hua Ruoyu fiercely. How could Hua Ruoyu dare to continue shouting?

      At this time, Feng Wei already understood.

      He turned around and went back to his tent, took off the Howling Cloud Sword s, then returned back to his deck. With a clank sound, he pulled out his sharp sword and pointed at Hua Ruoyu.

      Your mother only left this one child, I, Feng Wei, have raised you as my own daughter, but who would have known that you were actually a venomous beast with a heart of a snake and an ungrateful heart!

      I won't settle your past sins, but if you don't do so today, how will you kill Vice General Yue and wrongly accuse your cousin? Don't blame your uncle for not thinking of his flesh and blood, and using this Howling Cloud Sword to kill you!

      The Howling Cloud Sword released a cold aura, as though there were countless ghosts lingering around the sword.

      Seeing her father so angry that he even took out the Howling Cloud Sword bestowed to him by the late emperor, Feng Ningyan knew how much he hated Yue Qing to death.

      Although killing Hua Ruoyu with the Howling Cloud Sword was an insult to this treasure, Feng Ningyan did not stop Feng Wei, because all the soldiers were waiting anxiously for Feng Wei to take revenge for Yue Qing.

      Hua Ruoyu could feel the killing intent from them, causing him to kneel down in fear. She grabbed onto Shen Youhuang's clothes and kowtowed, Your Highness! Say something! You are a duke or a military overseer, only you can save me …

      Shen Youhuang swept a glance over Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan, then lowered her head to look at the crying Hua Ruoyu in front of him.

      However, the two of them were grasshoppers on the same string, he couldn't really ignore Hua Ruoyu.

      He pulled Hua Ruoyu up from the ground and hugged him tightly, staring at Feng Wei coldly.

      General Feng, what people say when they are overly frightened is something that can't be counted. The truth will have to be determined after interrogation.

      Saying that, he took off his cape and helped Hua Ruoyu put it on, showing that he was sincere towards her.

      Hua Ruoyu herself was a little flattered.

      But Feng Ningyan scoffed, she had seen through Shen Youhuang's hypocrisy too clearly.

      He did this obviously to make others feel that he cherished and cherished Hua Ruoyu, so he naturally had no reason to use Hua Ruoyu as a scapegoat.

      Therefore, Feng Ningyan was sure that Shen Youhuang would definitely push all of the blame onto Hua Ruoyu.

      She could not help but look at Shen Lingjue, who understood that she was worried that Shen Youhuang would get away with it again.

      After Shen Youhuang helped Hua Ruoyu resolve the situation, she continued, General Feng invited out his own Howling Cloud Sword. Could it be that, in order to protect Yuwangfei's reputation, you are willing to sacrifice your own niece, Ruo Yu? She is not helpless now, and will be bullied by all of you. She is this king's secondary wife.

      The Son of Heaven has violated the law and committed the same crime as the commoners!

      Feng Wei did not care about Shen Youhuang's moral kidnapping, and did not care about his identity, holding onto the Howling Cloud Sword tightly, he did not retreat at all.

      Feng Ningyan knew that Feng Wei was weak, and when the Howling Cloud Sword was trembling slightly, she knew that her father was not strong enough. Although it hurt, but if he couldn't go and help Feng Wei right now, wouldn't that show how weak he was?

      She clenched her fists tightly and stood beside Feng Wei, one on the left and one on the right. She looked as if she wanted to strengthen her voice, but in reality, she was worried about Feng Wei's body.

      Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, another scream of terror suddenly exploded from the crowd.

      From the sound of the voice, it was actually Yue Qing, the captain of the guards who was in front of Yue Qing's tent.

      Feng Ningyan looked at Shen Lingjue in pleasant surprise, and he nodded towards her. She knew that this would be a good show.

      Vice General Yue! Big Brother Yue! It's not Zhang Nuo who killed you! Why are you chasing me! I'm just lying. For the sake of my loyalty to you all these years, please let me go!"

      Zhang Nuo was even more crazed than Hua Ruoyu. His armor was filled with scratches from sharp weapons, pieces of armor were scattered everywhere, his hair was a mess, and his hair had been torn out of its bun unknowingly, even his scalp had been ripped off.

      He screamed like a ghost as he ran over. When he reached a place with many people, he rolled over and over before falling down. His face was bruised and bruised, and his head and face were covered in blood.

      Don't blame me! It was His Highness the King Cheng who forced me to spread the rumors and harm the Young Marshal in your name, and it was also His Highness who sent the assassins to ambush the Qing Mei Zhuang, if you want to take revenge, you have to find the right person!

      These words were like a giant boulder smashing into the ground, causing great waves to surge through everyone's hearts.

      How could Shen Youhuang have expected that Hua Ruoyu would still be here after him. Right now, he could only hate herself for getting lucky and not killing him!

      Seeing the killing intent in Shen Youhuang's eyes, she tilted her body and appeared in front of Feng Wei and Feng Ningyan.

      Feng Ningyan did not realize that Shen Youhuang was ready to kill him and said hatefully, Didn't King Cheng want to interrogate him? Are you satisfied with Zhang Nuo's confession?

      If the dog was anxious, then it would jump over the wall, not to mention Shen Youhuang, the great Duke and military overseer.

      He pushed Hua Ruoyu away, unsheathed his sword, and threw him out.

      The treasured sword was also of the highest quality, transforming into a ray of cold light that pierced straight towards Zhang Nuo's chest.

      A dull sound rang out, the treasure sword had pierced through Zhang Nuo, blood flowed down along the wound on the sword, and flowed out.

      Zhang Nuo did not expect the sword to come so suddenly, so quickly, before he even lowered his head to look at the sword that was stabbed into his chest, his body trembled, and he fell backwards.

      He looked at Shen Youhuang, his bloodied hands raised slightly, but he was unable to point towards Shen Youhuang's location.

      Shen Youhuang killed Zhang Nuo on the spot, causing a huge commotion.

      How could Feng Wei have imagined that the King Cheng would be so bold as to kill an important witness in one slash?

      Shen Lingjue clenched her teeth, and shouted: Shen Youhuang! You actually killed me to keep my mouth shut in front of everyone!

      What?! Shen Youhuang resisted until death and refused to admit it. She grabbed Hua Ruoyu's hand and asked, Hua Ruoyu, tell me, the tragedy at Qing Mei Zhuang and the rumors in the army, just who did it?!

      Hua Ruoyu looked at Zhang Nuo who was waiting for his dead fish eyes to move, he was already scared out of his wits.

      Now that she was being questioned by Shen Youhuang, she could only listen to what Shen Youhuang had to say.

      Her whole body trembled, and tears and sweat rolled down her face.

      She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape this one time. There was Feng Wei's Howling Cloud Sword in front, and Shen Youhuang's emotionless, cold blood. If she wanted to survive, there was only one way.

      CHAPTER 203 - SUICIDE CONFESSION

      The culprit who spread the rumors, Zhang Nuo, had already been executed on the spot by Shen Youhuang. Only Hua Ruoyu.

      The thousands of soldiers held their breath, waiting quietly for Hua Ruoyu's answer.

      Hua Ruoyu had a plan in mind, and she knew what to do next.

      She looked at Feng Wei and Feng Wei, feeling both regret and regret. Her tears fell like rain, she shook off Shen Youhuang's hands, rushed forward, and knelt down towards the two of them.

      Uncle, cousin! I beg of you, please forgive Ruo Yu … In the past, Ruo Yu was jealous of her cousin. With her father's love and outstanding military achievements, she was even more jealous that she had arrogantly married into the Duke's Palace as her official wife.

      Feng Ningyan was shocked.

      's threat might be useful, but Hua Ruoyu was not a kind-hearted person.

      When the soldiers heard that Hua Ruoyu had confessed, and that the reason she set up Feng Ningyan was so preposterous, all of them were infuriated and some people could not help but curse.

      Feng Wei was extremely disappointed with Hua Ruoyu, and scolded him bitterly: People can't revive when they die. Yue Qing's soul is in the sky, how do you expect me to forgive you!

      Hua Ruoyu pounded her chest and stomped her feet.

      Yes … I secretly arranged to meet Vice General Yue to make up the lie of my cousin killing the crown prince and poisoning me. I thought that Vice General Yue would spread the news and ruin my cousin's reputation, but who would have known that he wouldn't do that? I can only bribe the Guard Captain Zhang Nuo in front of his account to let Zhang Nuo spread the rumors and bribe the killers in the martial arts world to silence the Vice General Yue … "

      She had confessed everything and made a perfect lie.

      Hua Ruoyu! Now that things have come to this, you still have to lie and cover up the real culprit!"

      Feng Ningyan angrily took a step forward and grabbed Hua Ruoyu's collar.

      The death of those from the Qing Mei Zhuang were still deeply branded in Feng Ningyan's mind.

      Those who died were people who were innocent enough to be tricked by Shen Youhuang. He was the real murderer, she definitely could not go unpunished!

      Shen Youhuang saw that Hua Ruoyu had interrupted him, and immediately shouted: Yuwangfei disturbed Ruo Yu from speaking the truth, do you really want to drag this king into it and accuse this king wrongly?

      Shen Lingjue grabbed Feng Ningyan's hand and asked her to let go of Hua Ruoyu.

      He knew, that if Hua Ruoyu would rather die than reveal Shen Youhuang, Shen Youhuang's power would still be there, and no one would be able to shake him.

      On the other hand, if Feng Ningyan were to be rude to Hua Ruoyu, she would cause trouble for herself and cause trouble for herself.

      Hua Ruoyu caught her breath, and continued: Originally, I only wanted to deal with my cousin, but who would have known that the matter would become more and more outrageous, the situation would go out of control, and the troops would go into chaos. I knew that I would not be able to escape my responsibility, so I wanted to pull His Highness down into the water, so he had no choice but to protect me. But now, Ruo Yu finally knows, that I have harmed all those who cherished me, implicated Feng Family, implicated her highness, Ruo Yu deserves to die …

      Saying that, she suddenly stood up, and before anyone could react, she pounced towards the Howling Cloud Sword in Feng Wei's hand!

      The blade pierced her left shoulder!

      Who would have thought that such a cowardly person like Hua Ruoyu would actually seek death for herself? Even Shen Lingjue didn't have the time to stop him.

      Fresh blood dyed the Howling Cloud Sword red, and also dyed Feng Wei's eyes red.

      Yu'er! Feng Wei shouted as he collapsed. He released the sword and hugged Hua Ruoyu, Quick … Call the military doctor!

      He looked at his niece, who had once viewed him as a treasure, whose front had been dyed red with blood, and whose eyes were tightly shut. He could only vent his anger on her, not her, as he could no longer care about whether she was the murderer or not, his only thought was to save her!

      Even Feng Ningyan, who hated Hua Ruoyu to the bones, was stunned. She subconsciously took out the embroidered handkerchief and pressed it on Hua Ruoyu's wound …

      Shen Lingjue stood behind Feng Ningyan and looked at him coldly.

      Shen Youhuang's eyes carried a trace of a ruthless smile, she slowly walked to Shen Lingjue and used a voice that only the two of them could hear, and said sinisterly:

      This king does things rightly deserve to be done in the future, how can I allow others to slander me? Now that the truth has been placed in front of Brother Yuwang, he is disappointed.

      Those who commit injustice will commit suicide.

      After Shen Lingjue heard this, she no longer bothered to look at Shen Youhuang again as she coldly threw out these seven words.

      Following that, Shen Youhuang immediately pretended to be in pain and squatted down beside Hua Ruoyu. She pushed both Feng Wei and Feng Ningyan away and picked her up, and said sorrowfully:

      Ruo Yu, Ruo Yu, wake up … It's because This King is useless and This King cannot protect you...

      As he said that, tears welled in his eyes as he spoke to Feng Wei: General Feng, you are indeed a disciplined person. For the sake of this false reputation, you even want to kill your sister's only flesh and blood! This king will definitely praise you in front of the emperor for your righteous deed of extermination!

      After Feng Wei heard this, his hands were covered in blood, and his entire body was trembling. I killed Yu'er … I killed Yu'er …

      Seeing his father being beaten up one after another, Feng Ningyan was really afraid that he could not take it anymore, and immediately ordered Li Yao to bring Feng Wei to the camp to rest.

      Although Hua Ruoyu had already confessed, she had committed suicide to apologize. When Shen Youhuang carried her away, no one could stop him.

      Just then, Jing Qi completed his mission and returned. Seeing that the rumors had settled, he ordered the soldiers to return to their respective camps, not to discuss further about today's events.

      Looking at Shen Youhuang's leaving figure, then at the pool of blood on the ground, then at the scene and Zhang Nuo who was carried away, Feng Ningyan was not happy at all.

      Shen Lingjue gently patted her shoulder and said: The rumors have subsided, and the army's morale is rekindled. This is a good thing.

      Feng Ningyan lowered her head in a daze, feeling extremely unresigned in her heart.

      Hua Ruoyu is definitely not sincerely repenting, but to protect Shen Youhuang! He was still at large. As his military overseer, all the innocent people who were killed were still unable to close their eyes in peace … The Heavens are unfair!

      Seeing her anger was negative, Shen Lingjue could not help but feel his heart ache: It's not that the heavens are unfair, but that Shen Youhuang knows how to take advantage and avoid evil. As a child, he helped the crown prince commit evil, and she always left her responsibilities to the side. Previously, she was loyal to the assassin, the crown prince was corrupt, and naturally Shen Youhuang was involved, but she did not leave any evidence. This kind of person is much harder to deal with than Shen Di.

      Feng Ningyan nodded her head: No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is just flesh and blood, why can't I be like the martial artists from the martial arts world who are acting on behalf of the heavens, raising my hand and swinging my blade, eliminating evil!

      Listening to Feng Ningyan's self-blame, Shen Lingjue gently held her face and smiled, Because you are Young Marshal Ning Nanjun, the person in charge of law and order, a person who upholds justice.

      These words awakened the person in his dreams, causing the malicious intent in Feng Ningyan's heart to quietly dissipate.

      She looked up at him, feeling all the more responsible.

      I am a descendant of the Feng Family, and I am the Young Marshal of Ning Nanjun. Your Highness, you are right. It is not that the heavens are unfair, it is that we are not strong enough! One day, we will announce Shen Youhuang's crime to the world and let him receive the punishment she deserves!

      Seeing that she had regained her composure, Shen Lingjue heaved a sigh of relief: Put it into your account, I will bandage your wounds.

      Saying that, she took Feng Ningyan's hand.

      Only now did Feng Ningyan remember about the wound on her fingertip, and realised that it was still bleeding.

      Lowering her eyes, she saw He Li Shu being stepped on. He Li Shu had accidentally landed on the ground.

      CHAPTER 204 - IT IS ALWAYS MORE PAINFUL TO BE SENTIMENTAL THAN TO BE HEARTLESS

      The blood characters and specks of blood had not dried on the book, as though it was a reminder to Feng Ningyan that the difficult situation that she and Shen Lingjue were facing after their marriage had yet to pass.

      And the letter of departure was written, and her heart was determined, as though overflowing water cannot be taken away.

      She slightly retracted her hand, bent down to pick up the book, folded it, and offered it up with both hands.

      His Highness King Yu, here is the letter from Li. I hope that Your Highness can still remember the kindness of the past and let me, Feng Ningyan, regain my freedom.

      Feng Ningyan! Shen Lingjue's sword-like brows coldly slanted as she growled.

      She didn't expect that after settling the rumors, she would still insist on breaking up.

      Feng Ningyan raised her eyes and looked at him, her heart was filled with longing, but she knew, from today onwards, she would not be able to be even a little closer to him.

      She stepped back, away from him, her face cold, as if she were looking at a stranger.

      Your Highness, the Feng Family possesses a huge army of one hundred thousand. If the Emperor trusts you, then you will be loyal to your country and your entire family. If you are framed and you arouse the Emperor's suspicion, then you will become a part of the empire that threatens the Great Yue State.

      Hearing that, Shen Lingjue looked at the bloodstained He Li Shu, gritting her teeth, as she was unwilling to accept it from her hands.

      This duke said to protect you for the rest of your life, so I definitely won't let Feng Family be framed! Just now, you proposed to and left so as to not implicate This King. Now that the rumors have subsided, leaving this letter is null and void!

      Seeing that he was extremely angry, Feng Ningyan's heart softened, and the hand holding He Li Shu trembled slightly.

      Ling Jue, you and I will not give up on each other, we will not give up on each other. How could I not want to be together with you day in and day out?

      But today, the Emperor does not trust the Feng Family, so Shen Youhuang seized the opportunity to frame them. If the Feng Family is framed, your King Yu will be the main suspect and will be the backer.

      On the other hand, if Li, Feng Family, and I were to fall out, then Shen Youhuang's framing would completely fall apart, and the Feng Family would no longer have to be constrained by the relationship of marriage. Only then would I be able to fight the Southern Wilderness …

      The more she thought about it, the more sorrowful she became. However, she suppressed her tears and only sneered coldly.

      Your Highness, if I did not provoke Shen Youhuang to help you take the throne, he would not have targeted my Feng Family and angered my father to such an extent. Lv Ruo, Yue Qing, and even the innocent people in Qing Mei Zhuang would not have died. You knew from the beginning just how important Feng Family and Ning Nanjun were to me. For the sake of a hundred thousand soldiers, for the sake of my Feng Family's several hundred years of reputation, please agree to let us go.

      Feng Family, Ning Nanjun...

      Shen Lingjue's heart suddenly filled with pain. She couldn't help but arch her back a little, trying to get rid of the pain. Her pale white mouth raised into a bitter smile.

      In your heart, there will only be the Feng Family and Ning Nanjun.

      He once wanted to know how high he ranked in her heart, but now the answer was as cruel as ever.

      not only to get third place, but for the sake of the Feng Family and Ning Nanjun, they could be given up at any time.

      Feng Ningyan did not dare to look at his disappointed expression, and emotionlessly said to the distance:

      Ever since the marriage proposal, you have loved me dearly. How could I not be moved? After returning from the Southern Wilderness, I originally wanted to be your husband and wife for one lifetime, but after all, we are no ordinary people. Your Highness, just think that the nightmare is finally about to wake up …

      In that nightmare, Shen Lingjue had once dreamt about Feng Ningyan's tearful eyes and about her miserable death.

      On the night of his wedding, he smiled gently at her and said that he would never have that nightmare again and that she was his medicine.

      Yet now, she had once again pushed him into that nightmare and personally told him that he loved this battle. It was only a dream, and it was time for him to wake up.

      Shen Lingjue was startled for a moment, she only felt the blood Qi in her heart churning, his Qi becoming uncontrollable, as though it was rushing through her veins. He gritted her teeth, and activated his Qi to suppress the blood Qi.

      At this moment, even though he was extremely reluctant, unwilling, and unwilling, he couldn't say a single word.

      Because, as long as he spoke, he would not be able to suppress the frenzied surging of his inner breathing. He would either injure his heart or have his inner qi go berserk.

      Jing Qi watched at the side and was shocked to see that Shen Lingjue's face was so pale that it seemed as if it had been sucked dry of blood in an instant. You …

      Shen Lingjue decisively raised her hand to stop Jing Qi, and looked deeply at Feng Ningyan, suppressing the blood Qi at the same time …

      Feng Ningyan could feel that there was something wrong with his expression, she was so nervous that her nails were digging into her palms, but she did not dare to ask.

      Shen Lingjue clenched his teeth, and from between his teeth, a few cold words came out.

      This King will not let you down, even if it means death. It's not that you're heartless, it's that This King is laughable.

      Hearing that, Feng Ningyan's eyes became hot, and she stuttered: Your Highness … …

      Then it will be as you wish, Shen Lingjue said as he raised the blood-stained He Li Shu in her hands and focused his gaze on her cheeks, firmly carving her paint-like appearance into his heart, This king will personally propose and leave this place for royal father.

      As if he didn't see the tears in her eyes, he turned and brought Jing Qi and the Prince Yu's Mansion out.

      Your Highness … Take care."

      Feng Ningyan did not dare to say more, afraid that his choked voice would cause him to turn around.

      Because her entire body was shaking from the heartache. If he were to turn around now, she wouldn't be able to pretend to be cold and merciless …

      Shen Lingjue did not turn back, and furthermore, she was unable to do so.

      The uncontrollable blood energy rushed up to his throat; it was sweet and boiling hot.

      He pursed his lips, but there was still blood coming out of them.

      Seeing that, Jing Qi turned and looked at Feng Ningyan with worry, and seeing that the two of them were so broken hearted, he couldn't help but want to push Shen Lingjue back.

      He clearly had a deep affection for her, but why did he still want to heartlessly say goodbye?!

      Shen Lingjue mounted his horse, and with her last bit of strength, spurred his horse to run out of the camp, escaping Feng Ningyan's line of sight.

      However, just as he arrived outside the army camp, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which dyed the horse's back red.

      Your Highness! Jing Qi flew over and supported Shen Lingjue who was falling down from the horse. Only when he checked his pulse did he realize that had suffered a very serious internal injury.

      Don't reveal it... Leave this place …."

      After saying that, Shen Lingjue fainted...

      Feng Ningyan stood alone on the empty deck, the cold wind had blown her hair away.

      When the bun loosened, the loyal old silver hairpin fell to the ground with a clank.

      She picked up the silver hairpin and could no longer hold it in, tears streaming down her face.

      Ling Jue, I'm sorry … In this life, I have failed you in the end …

      She gripped the silver hairpin tightly as the scene of her first meeting with Shen Lingjue at the banquet surfaced in her mind. It was so painful that she wanted to make her heart stop beating.

      But how could she just fall like that? Feng Wei had suffered such a huge blow this time, and it would be hard for her to recover in such a short period of time. As the Young Marshal, if she was not able to stabilize her morale and lead the troops, the dragon teeth would not be able to hold on.

      Just at this time, he suddenly heard a horse charging in from the direction of the camp entrance. One of the horse riders had stuck a flag of the Nanyunguan behind him, in his hand he held a red book, and shouted: Nanyunguan's Battle Report!

      War report!

      Feng Ningyan was shocked, she anxiously wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, then propped herself up with her knees, using the hairpin to retie her hair, she stood up straight.

      The messenger arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye and handed over a red book. When the Southern Army soldiers reached the Nanyunguan, they were attacking to steal the city! "

      Feng Ningyan's face suddenly flashed with killing intent: Finally here!

      She no longer had any time to grieve as she hastily went to report this to Feng Wei. After donning her horse, she rushed to the Red Flame Camp to call for reinforcements, leading five thousand elite soldiers at lightning speed.

      CHAPTER 205 - CROWN PRINCE OF THE SOUTHERN WILDERNESS DUAN LIUSHAO

      When Feng Ningyan and Liao Guangwen led the five thousand elite soldiers of the Scarlet Flame Battalion to the Nanyunguan, they heard roars that shook the sky outside the city gates, and the sounds that came from the cannons.

      The two of them jumped off their horses and ran up to the city gate tower.

      At this time, the Nanyunguan Guard General Sima Du was at the city walls commanding the battle. This was already the second time the enemy forces were attacking the Nanyunguan forcefully.

      The vanguard battalions of the enemy troops charged towards the Nanyunguan Tower in batches. The firearms battalion, which was protecting the vanguard camp, did not show any sign of weakness.

      Arrows rained down like rain, flames billowed out, stopping the enemy forces who were climbing up the stairs to the city below.

      Although it seemed like they were evenly matched, the corpses under the city gate tower were piled higher and higher.

      In front of the Nanyunguan, the ground was flying, the flames were burning fiercely, the war horses were roaring, corpses were strewn everywhere, and a bloody mist filled the sky.

      Young Marshal! Only after the assistant general's reminder, did Sima Du finally see Feng Ningyan climb onto the city gate tower, and immediately leaped over the corpses and ran over.

      Feng Ningyan looked at the blood red Yonghe River that was a hundred zhang away, but when she saw that the Yum Bridge was already occupied by the enemies of the Southern Wilderness, she could not help but frown.

      General Sima, when we were on patrol the other day, this Young Marshal had clearly warned you to guard against surprise attacks from the southern borders. Now that the Yum Bridge has fallen, what crime should you take as it?!

      Sima Du was aware that he had failed in his duty, and did not dare to refute half a sentence: This lowly general is willing to accept the punishment!

      The Yonghe River outside the Nanyunguan was located between the southern border and the Great Yue State. It was a natural moat, so if the Southern Army wanted to attack the Nanyunguan, they had to break through the Yum Bridge that Ning Nanjun was guarding.

      The name of the Yum Bridge was obtained because of Feng Wei's hundred battles and hundred victories, so it was originally a bridge of humiliation for the Southern Wilderness.

      Feng Ningyan walked to the side of the city gate tower and looked at the Yum Bridge from behind the dense shield. On the other side of the bridge, a young general dressed in golden armor suddenly whipped his reins.

      The blade of the Coiling Dragon Moonshatter Knife in his hand was not only wide, it also covered half of the entire length. With such a heavy weapon, it could be seen that this person's strength was astonishing.

      Duan Liushao! Feng Ningyan lost her voice, She really did come personally.

      Young Marshal, he is Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness Duan Liushao?!

      Sima Du had long since noticed the young general, but seeing that he was a white-haired, cultured and refined person, who was only twenty years old, he guessed that these new generals who had never been to the battlefield would not even put him in their eyes.

      But he never thought that this was actually the Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness.

      Hearing that, Liao Guangwen became extremely excited: Young Marshal, wait for me to capture Duan Liushao!

      Brother Liao! Feng Ningyan anxiously stopped him, You are not his opponent!

      Liao Guangwen asked in shock: How did Young Marshal know? Have you guys fought before?

      You have not fought, but he is definitely not someone that you can capture alive. Moreover, in a battle between two nations, it is not a one on one fight, but a battle between commander and soldiers. This Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness is mine!

      Feng Ningyan's eyes were cold, she took a steel bow from the hands of the archer standing by the side and pulled out an arrow, aiming straight at Duan Liushao.

      Seeing her pull the bow, Sima Du and Liao Guangwen were stunned, thinking: Could it be that Young Marshal wants to shoot Duan Liushao to death with one arrow?

      The distance between the city gate tower and the Yum Bridge was more than three hundred meters, it was so weak that it could not even pass through Duan Liushao's Heart Protecting Mirror, how could it kill?

      No matter how strong Feng Ningyan's archery was, it shouldn't be possible, right?

      Just as the two of them were in doubt, they heard a sharp whistle, and the arrow between Feng Ningyan's fingers flew out!

      The Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness stood on his horse at the end of the bridge and watched as wave after wave of soldiers from the southern territory were defeated, their corpses scattered everywhere. He could not help but hold onto the Coiling Dragon Moonshatter Knife even more tightly, and only the chill from the weapons was able to stabilize his heart and his trembling hands.

      He did not have such a realistic experience of war, and seeing the Yonghe River below his feet dyed red with the blood of soldiers, he told himself that this was the price that would be paid for success.

      Just as he was staring at the Nanyunguan Tower, he suddenly saw a shield moving away and a black iron bow appeared. The shiny arrow reflected the sunlight and was extremely dazzling.

      Those arrowheads were heading in his direction!

      He could not help but be startled and subconsciously raised his Moonshatter Knife to block.

      But in an instant, the arrow had already whistled forth. Not only did it not slow down at all, it actually shot towards the front of Duan Liushao's horse.

      The arrow stuck itself deep into the deck and shook.

      Duan Liushao raised his head in shock, his gaze swept across the smoke and beacon and landed at the top of the city.

      He saw a young general wearing an azure and silver armor. He was not wearing a helmet and had a beautiful appearance that could topple cities. He was standing at the top of the city while coldly looking at Qin Lie from a distance.

      The horse below him seemed to feel the strong threat and started to walk anxiously. Duan Liushao looked at the teenager in shock and pulled on the reins forcefully.

      Seeing that Duan Liushao had already noticed him, Feng Ningyan shouted loudly: Brother Liao, let our brothers stand behind this Young Marshal and shout along with me!

      Liao Guangwen immediately ordered the Red Flame Camp's soldiers to line up behind Feng Ningyan. She shouted once, and all the soldiers shouted at the same time, his loud and clear voice reverberating through the sky.

      Since ancient times, the book of war has always been about plotting against the enemy! Second, beheading! Attack the city!"

      Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness, bold and unwise, only knows how to forcefully attack, completely disregarded the lives of others!

      Pity the good son of the Southern Wilderness! Pity the good son of the Southern Wilderness!

      Feng Ningyan shouted once, and the soldiers of Red Flame Camp shouted once, their voices were neat, as if coming out from a person's mouth.

      When the guards of the Nanyunguan outside the city heard this, they all felt excited and could not help but shout as well.

      It was a normal occurrence for soldiers to fight outside the city, but this time, Feng Ningyan led the soldiers to fight, it was not to provoke the enemy to come out for death, but to shake the morale of the soldiers in the southern region.

      The best way to fight was simply to defeat the enemy with their own schemes. They would bow down the enemy without a fight. It was all for the sake of plotting against the enemy.

      The strategy in the battle between the two armies was second to none. Attacking a city was the best strategy.

      Feng Ningyan's challenge and provocation made Southern Army feel that Duan Liushao did not put his life in his eyes, and was unsettled.

      The last sentence was a heartbreak.

      The warriors of the Southern Wilderness were attacking the city with all their might, but when they heard the overwhelming cheers from the city gate tower, they were all terrified. When they heard the meaning of the words clearly, they became even more flustered and fell down the Sky Stairway.

      How could Duan Liushao have imagined that this youth who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old could actually command
