The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 497 The entanglement of love and hate

For a moment, people fell one after another, and it was almost a one-sided massacre. In an instant, the wailing and falling figures intertwined into a cruel picture.

"Charge! Fight to the death, otherwise, we will all die here."

The black-clad man at the head had an unyielding fire burning in his eyes. The knife in his hand seemed to be given life. Every time he swung it, it was accompanied by a sharp wind that shot down the incoming arrows one by one.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, he roared at the top of his lungs, trying to awaken the last bit of fighting spirit and desire to survive in his companions' hearts.

Unfortunately, there were too many arrows in front of them, and it seemed that they would never be exhausted, leaving them with no buffer time at all, and it was extremely difficult to move forward.

The black-robed leader saw this and looked extremely unwilling and angry. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Everyone, jump into the lake and escape quickly."

Qin Hao discovered their intention at the first moment. He waved his hand and led the shadow guards and royal guards beside him to follow quickly and surround the lakeside, completely blocking the retreat of this group of men in black.

"Xiao Tianyue, open your bright eyes and take a good look at the devastation here. Countless lives have been lost because of you. Don't you feel any self-blame and guilt in your heart?" Qin Hao's voice was as cold as ice, and every word was like a needle, piercing Lady Xiao's heart.

The tears in Lady Xiao's eyes slid silently, crystal clear. Her sadness and helplessness seemed poignant and complex.

She stood there without saying a word, as if she had no feeling at all about Qin Hao's questioning, or was too unable to respond.

Qin Hao wanted to attack Xiao Tianyue's heart first, and wanted to completely break the will that Xiao Tianyue held on to. He slowly opened his mouth and continued, "These people are all the people of Daxia. They did not die on the battlefield, but died in the calculations and infighting of our own people. Tell me, isn't it ridiculous?"

"Perhaps, to you, a pearl of the previous dynasty, they are nothing more than passing servants and subordinates who obey orders. I guess you don't think their lives are too important. If they die, they die."

"I guess, with your status as a princess of the former dynasty, more people would sacrifice their lives for you at any time, but because of the hatred in your heart, you treat their lives as worthless and don't care about them at all. Is this your mission?"

"But, in my opinion, everyone is born equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone has only one life, even for me as an emperor."

"As the ruler of a country, I don't feel the slightest bit of joy when I see these people die tragically in front of me. Instead, I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for them fighting for their country, and I feel sorry for the many families that will be broken up after them..."

"At this moment, my heart is broken, and I feel it's not worth it for them. Do you understand this feeling?"

In the end, Qin Hao almost roared out loud, as if he wanted to vent the suppressed emotions in his heart.

Lady Xiao covered her face with her hands, tears falling like pearls from a broken string. Her sobs were mixed with a hint of despair, and she pleaded in a trembling voice, "Stop talking... Please, stop talking... I don't want to listen, I really don't want to listen... All this is not my fault, it's not..."

Qin Hao pulled away her hands that were covering her face, forcing her to face reality and acknowledge the mistakes she had made.

"Open your eyes and look!"

He almost roared, and every word was heavy. "Look behind you, those lives that died tragically because of you. Their eyes are full of desire for life and unwillingness to die."

"Their wailing, their pain, they all died for you, how could you just turn a blind eye?"

"In the future, when those innocent wives and children see you and expect an answer, how will you deal with it? Will your conscience be at ease?"

Qin Hao's words were full of wisdom, like a sharp blade, piercing into the softest part of Xiao Meiren's heart and also cutting through the invisible barrier between the two of them.

Escaping can't change anything. Only by letting Lady Xiao face the reality and realize her mistakes can these dying lives be saved.

At this moment, the confrontation between emotion and reason, the entanglement between love and hate, were all exposed nakedly by Qin Hao in broad daylight, with no place to hide.

It has to be said that although Qin Hao's move was a bit cruel and even took advantage of someone's misfortune, there is no doubt that he achieved his goal.

"I'm the one who harmed them. What should I do? What should I do?" Concubine Xiao seemed to be possessed by evil spirits. Her eyes were empty and she muttered to herself.

Seeing this, Qin Hao smiled. He took Lady Xiao's hand and said softly, "The lives of these people are in your hands. As long as you say a word and persuade them to lay down their weapons, I promise that I will not increase the slaughter. What do you think?"

Lady Xiao was confused and didn't know what to do.

Luo Yang understood and shouted, "Put down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed!"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed leader roared, "Bullshit, brothers, let's fight our way out. If anyone is left here, the brothers who get out will help take revenge!"

"If the imperial court dares to attack us, we will make them pay the price! Brothers, kill them!"

This group of people in black were extremely angry and ruthless, and they would never surrender even if they died.

"Princess, I'm going first. Please treat my wife, children and mother well and avenge me." A man in black shouted and charged in the opposite direction.

At this moment, a cold voice rang out in the night sky, like biting ice piercing into the enemy's heart.

"There's no need to seek revenge. No one of you can escape tonight!" said Old Feng calmly.

When Lady Xiao heard Elder Feng's icy voice, her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately shouted with all her might, "No, no! Surrender quickly and don't make any more meaningless sacrifices."

When many men in black heard Lady Xiao's voice, they were slightly startled, stopped fighting, and gathered together, waiting for the order from the black-robed leader.

But there were also some people who refused to accept it. They became so violent that they drew their swords and attacked Feng Lao.

Old Feng's eyes were like torches, and he ordered coldly: "Jinyi Guards, take action!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of Jinyiwei dressed in tight clothes and holding swords in their hands instantly turned into black lightning and shuttled among the crowd.

Their movements were swift and precise, and in just a few encounters, they killed those who refused to obey on the spot.

"Stop! Stop it all!" Lady Xiao rushed into the cruel battlefield as if she was crazy, her eyes flashing with anxiety and anger. She shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to stop the killing in front of her.

At this time, thousands of imperial guards had arrived and surrounded the remaining men in black.

Seeing this, Old Feng raised his hand slightly, signaling the Jinyiwei to step aside for the time being, and stared at the group of men in black in front of him.
