Both worlds are like dreams
Chapter 463: An Old Case
"Second brother, everything I said to you was from the bottom of my heart, but maybe if we change a path, I and the rest of us can see a peaceful and prosperous world. I know you will definitely blame me, but poisoning my father, joining forces with them, and starting a rebellion, is this the path you chose? Even if you succeed, you will become the next puppet to be manipulated. Is it really worth it?"
"In the battle between emperors, the winner always wins and the loser always loses. It's a life-and-death struggle. Now that things have come to this, we have no way out."
"What about the third brother? What did you do with him?"
"You should worry about yourself first." Mo Zhenyu said coldly.
Xue Huang said, "Then don't worry, Second Prince. Is this General Shen next to you fooling you? After all, it's much easier to control that idiot Third Prince than to control you."
Shen Congfeng's face darkened. "Princess Changle, you should also worry about yourself. Can you leave here alive?"
"I will definitely live," Xue Huang looked at him firmly, "because behind me are the 473 wronged souls of Beiyuan who died in vain. They will protect me and seek justice from you."
"Fair?" Shen Congfeng sneered, "They refused to surrender and fought stubbornly. They deserved to die."
Hearing this, the murderous aura on Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao intensified.
Xue Huang's expression was icy. "General Shen, you know better than anyone how they died. If you don't remember, I will help you recall it."
"Empty words."
Xu Yao took out a torn piece of silk from his bosom. "This is the letter of peace written by Emperor Beiyuan himself, and also a confession accusing you of forging a declaration of war. Shen Congfeng, you didn't expect that this letter still exists in this world."
Shen Congfeng's face was gloomy. "You were able to find it, which means that person really betrayed me. But you actually cooperated with the person who controlled you for more than ten years."
"As long as I can kill you, I don't care." Xu Yao said coldly.
Xue Huang pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve and unfolded it. "This is the handwritten letter you sent your men to murder Beiyuan's hostage Xiao Chen'an. It also has your personal seal on it. General Shen, you are really cruel and ruthless. You killed them all after you had used them. Unfortunately, you were careless. Those people you killed also kept a knife for you, and it fell on your head today."
Shen Congfeng looked at Tan Zheng, "It's you, right? I should have killed you too."
Wei Yunzhou also took out a stack of letters. "This is evidence that General Shen embezzled disaster relief funds. You used that disaster relief money to bribe the traitors in Beiyuan and instigate discord between the two countries."
Shen Congfeng didn't care. "It's really naive to think of convicting me based on a few pieces of scrap paper."
Xue Huang said, "General Shen, I told you that the people standing here today are not just me, but also the people who died in vain in Beiyuan. You must pay for this blood debt!"
"There is only one result today. All of you will die!" Shen Congfeng said coldly.
"I know you won't admit it, but you can't kill anyone today." Xue Huang said. "Shen Congfeng, do you think you can silence the world with a forged edict to change the crown prince?"
"Forged?" Shen Congfeng sneered, "This was written by His Majesty himself. As for you, you took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to besiege the palace and intend to usurp the throne. This general and the second prince came here to rescue the king and stabilize the court. Who is the real traitor? The one who walks out of here alive today will have the final say."
"Then is the imperial seal on your edict?" Xue Huang asked.
Shen Congfeng and Mo Zhenyu's expressions changed slightly.
Upon seeing this, Xue Huang immediately realized that the edict in their hands must be fake, or perhaps there was no such edict at all.
For them, as long as they broke into the palace and got the imperial seal, they could forge as many edicts as they wanted.
But they clearly miscalculated.
Gu Qinglan said, "If there is no imperial edict, General Shen and the Second Prince's forcing the emperor to abdicate would be an open rebellion, and they would be traitors! Your Highness, please understand this."
Mo Zhenyu looked hesitant.
Shen Congfeng sneered, "I've said, who is the traitor will be decided by the one who can leave here alive today!" As he said this, he wanted to have someone take action and planned to break in directly.
"Are you so impatient?" Xue Huang took out the gems from her waist. "Back then, you instigated the war between the two countries, destroyed my country and people, and killed my flesh and blood. Wasn't it for that secret that had been passed down for hundreds of years?"
"You really do know this secret."
"It's ridiculous that you have been searching for it for so long, but you didn't know that the secret is in this gem." Xue Huang put the gems together, and half of a blurry map appeared under the moonlight.
Everyone watched in amazement.
Xue Huang held the gem in her hand and said, "Today, regardless of whether you rebelled or not, the blood debt between you and my Beiyuan should be settled."
"How do you want to end it?"
"The last bloodline of my Beiyuan is all here. If you defeat the three of us, this gem will be yours."
"Why should I agree to you?" Shen Congfeng sneered. "I can still get it even if I kill you!"
"Which do you think was faster, me destroying it or you killing me?"
"Okay!" Shen Congfeng drew his sword, "I'll give you a chance for revenge!"
Xue Huang looked at Wei Yunzhou and whispered, "Second Uncle, you are here not to win, but to delay time."
Xu Yao stepped forward, "Let me do it. I swore to kill him with my own hands."
"Don't be impulsive." Xue Huang stopped him, "Our purpose is just to delay time."
Shen Congfeng frowned slightly when he saw that it was Wei Yunzhou who made the move, "You... are also a remnant of Beiyuan?"
Wei Yunzhou did not answer, the Seven Killing Sword Qi hovered like a green dragon.
"Who are you?" Shen Congfeng asked.
"The one who seeks revenge on you." After he finished speaking, Wei Yunzhou slashed at Shen Congfeng with a sword, and the two immediately started fighting.
Shen Congfeng's martial arts skills are also among the best in the world. He is good at using swords and has excellent martial arts skills.
His strength is even higher than Wei Yunzhou's. Back then, Xue Huang was able to defeat Shen Congfeng only after his internal strength was greatly increased by the medicine man technique.
Therefore, it will not be easy for Wei Yunzhou to win today's battle.
The two men fought for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner, but Wei Yunzhou was already at a disadvantage.
Xue Huang gave a look, and Wei Yunzhou gave in without leaving a trace and was defeated.
Xue Huang was also very happy and threw the gem in her hand to Shen Congfeng.
Shen Congfeng looked at it carefully, his eyes showing excitement. "Thank you."
Wei Yunzhou said nothing, put away his sword and stood aside.
Shen Congfeng put away the gemstone and said, "The reputation of the Heir of Guigu is well-deserved. During the fight just now, I felt that you looked quite familiar. If I am not mistaken, you are the former Beiyuan hostage, Xiao Chenan."
“Since it’s revenge, why leave out the innocent souls who died in the cold palace?” Wei Yunzhou said coldly.
"You're actually still alive?"
"Your injustice has not yet been redressed. I am here to take your life."
Xue Huang spoke up, "General Shen, I just said that my Beiyuan bloodline is here today, and the old case should be settled together. The second gem will be given by my cousin, and if you can defeat him, I will give it to you."
At this time, Mo Zhenyu whispered: "We can't fight any longer. We need to make a quick decision. If they still have a trick up their sleeve, we may not be able to win."
"I have been pursuing that secret for decades. Now that it is within reach, how can I give up?"
"As long as they are all our prisoners, are we still afraid that there will be no reason to trade?"
Shen Congfeng smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is indeed a man of foresight."
Xue Huang frowned slightly and whispered, "Oh no! They've figured it out. They must have some bad ideas again."
Sure enough, Shen Congfeng said, "Princess, there is no need to rush to settle old cases. Wait until I catch the traitors, and we will settle them slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, his troops attacked again and the two sides started fighting.
Xu Yao challenged Shen Congfeng directly. The anger that he had suppressed for more than ten years was completely released at this moment. The cold light of the Zhaoxue Sword seemed to carry the anger of countless wronged souls.
Xue Huang and the others also began to kill the enemy. Although they did not have the advantage in numbers, with the help of the Double Seven Sword Technique and the combined efforts of the three disciples of Guigu, they had the momentum of one man blocking a thousand.
But Shen Congfeng had too many people, and the two sides fought from dusk to dawn, with corpses and blood everywhere.
At this time, there were only a few people left, and even Rong Yu's white clothes were rarely stained with blood.
Xu Yao was injured in the fight with Shen Congfeng. He was surrounded and could only repel the enemy by joining forces with Wei Yunzhou.
Xue Huang wanted to capture the leader of the thieves, so she wanted to rush over and capture the second prince directly, but he and Shen Congfeng were surrounded by many masters, plus they had the advantage in numbers, so they could do nothing.
After fighting to the death, everyone is almost exhausted.
Gu Qinglan always stays by Mo Ruilin's side. As the crown prince, he is always everyone's target.
Xue Huang shot down the arrow that was aimed at Mo Ruilin, "Fifth brother, where are your reinforcements? If they don't arrive soon, it will be too late."
"If it's really too late, promise me that you will all survive."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Huang slashed with her sword and repelled the enemy again.
But at this time, there were only a few of them still struggling.
