City Lord Chu held his wife's hand and walked out of the secret passage and entered a remote house. The yard was overgrown with weeds and the room was dusty everywhere.

"Muran, send someone to the four gates to wait for the Third Princess of Wei and the Second Prince of Zheng, and then send someone back to the palace to inquire about the young master's situation. Report immediately if there is any news."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue and Mo Yan arrived at the city gate from different directions and were stopped just as they were about to enter the city.

"Excuse me, are you the second prince of Zheng? I am from the Chu Mansion."

"You are the one sent by my junior brother to pick up this prince."

"Second Prince, let's talk further."

Mo Yan rode on his horse and looked at the guard in front of him in confusion, "Shao Ze, go over and see what he means."

"Yes."

"I am a guard of the Chu family. The Chu family is now surrounded by the troops led by the third prince of Xixia. Our city lord took his wife and young mistress out of the city through the secret passage and ordered us to come and meet the second prince of Zheng and the third princess of Wei."

"That's true."

"It is absolutely true. How dare I lie to the Second Prince? The Young Master is mediating alone in the palace in order to hold the Third Prince back."

"Shao Ze, you take the guards to see City Lord Chu, I will go to the Chu family to rescue my junior brother."

"Yes."

"Lead the way."

Xi Lingxue entered from the east gate of Shucheng and was stopped by the Chu family guards just as she reached the door.

"Excuse me, are you the third princess of Wei? I am a guard of the Chu family."

"Exactly,"

"Third Princess, the Third Prince of Xixia has brought many golden armored guards to surround the Chu family. The young master is fighting against the golden armored guards alone. His life is hanging by a thread. Please go and save the young master! It's too late. I am worried about his safety."

"What? My senior brother is surrounded by the Xixia royal family."

"Reporting to the Third Princess, the young master is alone in the mansion dealing with thousands of golden armored guards."

"Where are City Lord Chu and his men?"

"The city lord and his wife quietly left the city through the secret passage."

"Leng Shuo, take ten secret guards to protect City Lord Chu. This princess will go to the mansion to rescue Senior Brother."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue and ten secret guards rode quickly into the city.

As soon as Mo Yan entered the city, he saw many people fleeing everywhere and heard the sound of weapons clashing. He flew into the air and landed on the roof, quickly looking for a target to fight.

Soon, Chu Nanxi and the Golden Armor Guards were seen fighting in the street. The whole street was in a mess, with corpses lying all over the ground.

There was another group of people surrounding Chu Nanxi and chasing him, killing him with every move. Fortunately, he was a great martial arts master, otherwise he would have died hundreds of times already.

He leaped in the air with his light Kung Fu and brandished his sword. The sword tip emitted a dazzling cold light, and a group of people fell down with one blow of the sword.

He jumped lightly and kicked the golden-armored guards who were besieging him with great force. After one round, more than a dozen people were kicked away and fell heavily to the ground wailing.

He jumped down to Chu Nanxi's side, protected him behind him, and looked at his wounds and asked with concern: "Nanxi, how are you?"

Chu Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mo Yan coming.

"Big Brother, you are finally here. If you don't come, you won't see me anymore."

"Nonsense, I haven't even had a drink at your wedding, how could anything happen to me? If anything happens to you, I will lead the army to attack Xixia to avenge you."

Chu Nanxi felt warm in her heart at this moment, and she forced herself to smile despite the pain, "It's good to have a senior brother."

"Don't be distracted. Kill them and buy me a drink."

"Brothers united in purpose can break any obstacle."

"How can I be absent from the fight?"

"Junior sister, now that you are all here, my brother is saved, and my Chu family is saved."

"Second Brother, if you are in trouble, I will come to save you even if I am thousands of miles away. If anyone dares to touch you, I will kill his entire family without mercy."

"Junior sister is so domineering."

"You dare to bully my senior brother? Are you tired of living? Today I will let you taste the power of my domineering sword energy."

Hundreds of people surrounded the three of them and rushed forward.

Xi Lingxue condensed her true energy and the sword flew out of its sheath. She waved her fingers in the air and the sword pierced through the golden armored guard's body at lightning speed, and soon screams were heard.

Chu Nanxi, Mo Yan and others also brandished their swords and engaged in a fierce fight with the Golden Armored Guards, and more and more Golden Armored Guards joined the battle.

Xi Lingxue's secret guards and Mo Yan's guards also joined the battle. The two sides fought fiercely. The scene was so bloody that it was impossible to watch.

"Junior sister, your internal strength is so strong. You have already mastered the true energy that Master has injected into you."

"I have successfully practiced. Today, I tried my sword energy for the first time and the effect was good. Let them have a taste of the power of my sword energy."

"You will catch up with Master in just a few years of practice."

"Even if I practice until I'm old, my master's sword energy is still not as strong as his."

The third prince looked at everything in disbelief. He did not expect that the third princess of Wei and the second prince of Zheng were so powerful in martial arts. The Golden Armor Guards suffered countless casualties, but they were unharmed.

The outcome of the fight is uncertain, but if something happens to the Second Prince of Zheng and the Third Princess of Wei in Western Xia, it will be a serious matter, and Western Xia will face siege from both countries.

By then, my father would not only not appoint me as the crown prince, but in order to give an explanation to the two countries, he might even hand me over to let the two countries vent their anger.

He walked through the crowd and shouted: "Stop it."

The golden-armored guards made way for the third prince to pass, and he slowly came to the opposite side of Mo Yan.

"Second Prince of Zheng, Third Princess of Wei, it's so rare to see you in Shucheng."

"It is very rare for the Third Prince of Xixia to see you in Shucheng. Who are you trying to scare or kill by bringing the Golden Armored Guards from Xingqing Prefecture to Shucheng?"

"This prince has come to Shucheng to read the imperial edict on the orders of his father."

"Why did you attack my brother when you read out the imperial decree? In broad daylight, you ordered people to kill the young city lord of Shucheng on the street. This is your reason. Does it mean that a prince can kill innocent people at will?"

"Let the people of Shucheng witness your Third Prince of Xixia killing people in the street. This princess will definitely seek justice from the Emperor of Xixia."

"Third Princess, Chu Nanxi deceived the emperor and the emperor sentenced him to death. This prince was just following orders."

"Third Prince, please tell me clearly what mistakes my junior brother made. Is there any evidence to prove that he deceived the emperor?"

"The emperor wanted Chu Nanxi to get married, but he lied to avoid the marriage and said that he would not live long. Six months later, he was in good health. Isn't this deceiving the emperor?"

"Third Prince, which country has the rule that you can't seek medical treatment when you're sick? Senior brother's illness was cured with the elixir that this princess just developed."

"Why, do you have any objections, or do you still not believe in my ability? If you don't believe, I will help you with your treatment. No matter if you are a terminally ill patient or infertile, I will use elixirs to treat you."

"But my consultation fee is very expensive, I wonder if the Third Prince is willing to pay it."

Tuoba Junhao was so angry that his internal organs were twitching, and he even cursed himself for having a terminal illness. This damn girl didn't want to live anymore. If he wasn't worried about revenge from Wei and Zheng, he would have killed them to vent his anger.

He gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Thank you for your kindness, Third Princess. I am in good health and do not need any medical treatment, but the Chu family's crimes are obvious to everyone. I must act according to the imperial decree. If anyone dares to stop me, don't blame me for being rude."

"If you intend to force your way through us brothers and sisters, we will fight to the end. Who will die first? If I kill the wrong person, don't blame me for dying unjustly in the underworld."

"If you dare to kill this prince, you will never escape from Xixia."

"Even if I die now, it will be enough. After all, I will take you with me and die with no regrets. But if you die, you can imagine what will happen to the women in your house and your mother."

"You are deeply loved by the Emperor of Xixia, and you may be the future king of Xixia. If you die now, it will be nothing, and it will only benefit other brothers."

Tuoba Junhao was also in deep thought after hearing Xi Lingxue's words. If he died, the throne of Western Xia would only belong to other princes in the future. His mother and the daughters in the mansion would definitely have a miserable end.

Seeing his expression moved, Xi Lingxue continued, "Leng Shuo, send someone back to the country to report to my father that the Third Prince of Xixia wants to kill me. Ask him to send 100,000 troops to the border of Wei. I will personally lead the troops to attack Yinzhou of Xixia and expand the territory for Wei."

"I obey my orders."

"I will also report to my father that your Xixia Third Prince has sent people to kill me. Please ask him to send 100,000 troops to the border of Zheng State. I will personally lead the troops into Xiazhou. By then, your Xixia will face siege from both countries."

"When your father finds out that it was you who offended the two countries and caused him to face this predicament, what do you think will be your fate, Third Prince?"

"You are threatening this prince."

"This is not a threat but a statement of fact. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

"Song State has already given my Great Wei a province called Bazhou as a gift for defeat. It would be nice if you, Xixia, could give my Great Wei a province called Yinzhou as well."

"It is a good choice for our Great Wei to expand two cities a year."

"Congratulations, Junior Sister. Great Wei has gained another city."

"Big Brother, it's a bit early to congratulate you. It all depends on whether the Third Prince is willing to give Yinzhou to our Great Wei as a gift for defeat."

Tuoba Junhao was so angry that his blood was boiling. He clenched his fists and wished he could immediately order them to be killed. Killing them was easy, but the revenge from the two countries would be severe.

He had a feeling of resentment in his chest, unable to go up or down, and he became like an inflated dolphin.

His eyes were red with anger, his face was gloomy, and he shouted: "Someone come..."

"Master, please think twice. If you kill the Third Princess and the Second Prince, you can imagine what kind of consequences it will bring to Xixia. The Emperor will surely be furious when he finds out, and you will lose more than you gain."

"Master, if you are patient, you will have peace of mind. If you take a step back, you will have a bright future. You can send a message to the emperor and wait for his order before taking action. Even if the two countries retaliate, the emperor will not blame you."

He paused for a moment and said, "Well, you have a point."

"If I let you go today, I will send people to surround Shucheng, and you will never be able to set foot out of Shucheng."

"Don't worry! I won't leave until this matter is resolved."

"Retreat, guard the four gates of Shucheng, and don't let the second prince of Zheng and the third princess of Wei step out of the city gate."

"Yes."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Shucheng is now safe. Even the guard dogs have been equipped with elite soldiers and generals."

"Junior sister, if the guard dog provokes you, just kill it and eat its meat so that everyone can have a taste of it."

"Of course. I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time. I'm craving it."

The Third Prince listened to them scolding him so blatantly and was so angry that he gritted his teeth and almost couldn't help but take action, but when he thought about the consequences, he held back.
