Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

Chapter 407 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 52

At some point, two more groups of people emerged from all directions.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that one of the teams was the Royal Guards; and when the other team appeared, everyone around them showed surprise, as if they were extremely afraid of them.

At this moment, a sharp arrow came through the wind and shot straight towards Xu Zan.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Xu's terrified cry was heard, and at the same time, the dull sound of the arrowhead piercing the skin could be clearly heard.

Unfortunately, the arrow did not hit Xu Zan's heart, but went slightly to the left and hit his chest.

Nan Xiang and Ji Qingchen were not surprised to see this scene.

If the famous General Xu lost his life so easily, it would be a disgrace to his title as a great general.

Moreover, some truths that have been buried by time must be made known to the world. If Xu Zan died so hastily, it would be too easy for him.

Xu Zan's face was ferocious. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the sharp arrow from his chest. He looked at the person who shot the arrow, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.

As the man got closer, Xu Zan realized that his situation was hopeless, so he stopped resisting and allowed the servants beside the archery man to tie him up.

The man slowly half-knelt in front of Xu Zan, forcing him to look at him, and said coldly:

"General Xu, do you still recognize me?"

Even though Xu Zan became a prisoner, he did not panic at all. He just looked at the man in front of him with a slightly changed expression and said in a deep voice:

"It's you!"

Seeing that Xu Zan recognized him, Qiu Tianhai said no more. He immediately drew out the long knife in his hand, slashed at Xu Zan fiercely, and said angrily:

"This knife is for the prince!"

After saying that, he chopped down with his sword again, "This sword is for you collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country!"

Then, the third knife fell, "This knife is for the thousands of people in Daqian who died because of you!"

After three consecutive slashes, Xu Zan's originally upright and proud body now looked miserable.

Facing Qiu Tianhai's reckoning, he did not refute, but instead raised his head and laughed:

"I am not wrong! Everything I did was for the Xu family and for Daqian!"

When everyone heard Xu Zan's crazy talk, they were all indignant. Some wanted to curse him, but due to Xu Zan's authority over the years, they had to hold back. They could only use their icy cold eyes as if they wanted to cut Xu Zan into pieces.

However, Nan Xiang was not among this group of people.

Nan Xiang raised her eyebrows, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of Xu Zan, saying angrily:

"The general's words are very high-sounding, but they are just some poor excuses. Xu Zan, do you dare to swear to God? Do you dare to say in front of the thousands of heroes of the Ji family army and those innocent people who were implicated that you have a clear conscience and that everything you did was not wrong?"

Nan Xiang spoke sharply, and after that, he raised his hand and slapped him, and then continued to scold:

"You have acted so shamelessly, betrayed your loyalty, sold out your master for fame, and done such shameless things, yet you are still speaking so brazenly in an attempt to confuse the public.

What you have done has betrayed the emperor's grace and harmed the people, causing the country to be torn into pieces and the people to be displaced.

You trampled on the foundation of our ancestors and put the vast land of Daqian in danger.

In the past, you pretended to obey orders but secretly disobeyed them, formed cliques for personal gain, and made the court chaotic; in front of the border, you were afraid of death and fled from the battlefield, causing the soldiers to bleed on the battlefield and the souls of the innocent to spread all over the place.

You keep saying that you are doing this for the Xu family and Daqian, but in fact you are doing this for your own selfishness, to satisfy your endless greed and ambition. How is your behavior different from that of the treacherous villains who bring disaster to the country and the people? How is your behavior different from that of the villains who persecute loyal people?

Even if you die today, it will not redeem your heinous sins; even if you are cut into pieces, it will not appease the hatred of the people!"

"well said!"

When everyone heard Nan Xiang's words, they felt their blood boiling, and the disgust in their eyes became stronger as they looked at Xu Zan and others.

Ji Qingchen looked at Nan Xiang, who was standing there proudly and had silenced Xu Zan, with tenderness and pride revealed in her eyes.

Emperor Chengming was not an insignificant person. When Xu Zan held the emperor hostage but was shot by Qiu Tianhai, Emperor Chengming took advantage of the chaos and fled far away.

At this moment, he looked at the situation in front of him, at the Red Flame Army, the Ji Family Army and the Imperial Guards, with emotions surging in his eyes, complex and difficult to discern.

Soon, he realized that he had lost control of what happened today.

Although he had cooperated with the Xu and Li families, and had always known that the two old men Xu Zan and Li Jun were ambitious, he had never expected that the Xu and Li families had secretly colluded with the Beidi Yi tribe early on.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chengming could not hold back and kicked Xu Zan hard, snorting in his heart: "Old man! How can you covet my kingdom!"

After venting, Emperor Chengming's gaze unexpectedly met Qiu Tianhai's dark eyes.

Looking at that familiar face, Emperor Chengming's face was full of doubt. He immediately ran towards the commander of the Royal Guards and forced a smile on his face:

"Commander Zhang, protect the emperor!"

Commander Zhang glanced at the slightly embarrassed Emperor Chengming, then looked at Qiu Tianhai who was pressing him step by step, and when he looked at Emperor Chengming again, he showed a strange smile:

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

After saying this, he raised his hand and waved, and the surrounding soldiers instantly took Emperor Chengming hostage.

The crown tassels on Emperor Chengming's head fell off, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted angrily:

"presumptuous!"

But his eyes could not hide the helplessness of everything being out of control, and the fear of the truth being gradually revealed.

Emperor Chengming lowered his head, trying to hypnotize himself so that he would no longer look at Qiu Tianhai's face.

Suddenly, a finger gently pressed against his chin, slowly straightened his head, and forced him to look at her. Emperor Chengming looked up at the visitor, and a hint of joy surged in his eyes:

"Queen! Queen! Protect the emperor!"

Ji Qingchen looked at Emperor Chengming in this state with a cold look in his eyes. He felt disgusted and extremely bored.

It was this person who admired his brother's talent but was unwilling to live under his brother's shadow. He joined forces with the Xu and Li families, poisoned Prince Huixian, and then ascended the throne.

Because they were afraid that Duke Wei of Yue's family would be too powerful, they united the two families again and killed 300,000 soldiers of the Ji family, causing Duke Wei to die in battle. After that, they tacitly agreed to the extermination of the Jiaxing Su family.

Afterwards, he felt that he had gone too far with the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Over the past five years, he had been trying to make amends, but at the same time he had been indulging the Xu and Li families.

He really doesn't want to bear a bad reputation, but at the same time wants to leave a good reputation. He is extremely selfish.

Seeing the situation today, Ji Qingchen felt that he had overestimated Emperor Chengming.

I finally found someone to vent my hatred on, but that person's eyes were filled with anger and fear, which was really ridiculous and boring.

Nan Xiang followed behind Ji Qingchen and looked at Emperor Chengming. She keenly noticed that Ji Qingchen was in a strange mood, so she reached out and gently held Ji Qingchen's hand.

Ji Qingchen's original world-weary mood instantly dissipated. He looked at Nan Xiang with a smile in his phoenix eyes. Just one glance and he felt at ease.

Emperor Chengming naturally noticed the interaction between the two, and his eyes subconsciously moved down to the two hands that were tightly clasped and intertwined.

He was already extremely angry, and now he was even more furious. He pointed at Nan Xiang and Ji Qingchen with a trembling finger, and uttered half a sentence, "You...you..."

Qiu Tianhai naturally noticed Emperor Chengming's misbehavior, and immediately swung the hilt of his sword, hitting Emperor Chengming's hand back fiercely. Then, he stood in front of Emperor Chengming with a smile, blocking his actions towards Ji Qingchen and Nan Xiang.

"Your Majesty, is it because you are forgetful that you really don't recognize me?"

"You are...you are Commander Qiu who is beside my second brother!"

Qiu Tianhai sneered: "Your Majesty, please don't call me 'Second Brother'. I don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be restless in the underworld and be disgusted by you."

The ministers and royal family members who were still in their positions kept their heads down and did not challenge the queen's bottom line beyond their capabilities.

After knowing so many important things, some of them were afraid that they would not survive tonight, so they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and do nothing, standing there as a background board. It was also interesting to listen to the royal secrets in order to save their lives.
