Chapter 253
Chapter 253
In the capital city, there was a very famous mountain, and above it, there was a terrifying cliff. I heard that the cliff was so deep that you couldn’t see the bottom; as long as you jumped down from there, even the Emperor himself wouldn’t be able to save you.
When Shang Bin and Nangong Qian arrived, Duke Qing and the rest were already waiting for them. Even if Shang Tong had brought a few subordinates with him, they were not the dominant party at the moment. Now, they were in a passive position because Dauntless and Yiyin were in the hands of the Duke of Qing.
“The crown prince is really punctual!” No matter how intelligent the crown prince was, he was not in his control at the moment. However, the Duke of Qing did not think that a person like the crown prince would have such a deep affection for him. If it was a normal person, they would not care about the life and death of a servant or an outsider.
As soon as Shang Xin arrived at Broken Soul Cliff, his eyes started to search for Yiyin and the figure of Dauntless. As expected, on the cliff edge of Broken Soul Cliff, Shang could see the tied up Yiyin and fearless.
Shang was the first to glance at Yi Yin. Although she did not look well, she did not seem to have suffered any injuries. Her body was also normal. It seemed that the Duke of Qing still feared the power of the Ye family, which was why he didn’t dare to touch the old lady of the Ye family.
However, when Shang Xin Xin saw Fearless, his eyes turned cold. Nangong Qian who was near Shang Xin could feel the pressure in the air. Dauntless looked terrible, his tattered clothes could not cover the crisscrossing wounds, because of the lack of time to take care of them, some of them had already started bleeding black. Shang’s fury was that Dauntless’s bound hands did not even have a fingernail, where the fingernails should have been now were full of bloody spots, which made him have the impulse to kill everyone.
Shang lost the mood to look at the Duke of Qing, but his eyes were cold and icy. There was not a trace of life on his face, and it was as cold as ice, chilling to the bone, so cold that even the Duke of Qing, who had seen so many storms, could not help but be afraid.
“Duke Qing, you dared to touch my men, hehe …” Indeed, you are not afraid of death! ” Shang didn’t feel the need to sigh. If she had wanted to exterminate the Duke of Qing’s name to give the people an explanation, now that Shang had set aside the so-called grand scheme, no one could touch their own people.
Although the Duke of Qing was a little afraid of the crown prince, he wasn’t afraid of the hostages in his hands. He knew that as long as he had a hostage, he wouldn’t care. After today, would there still be a crown prince?
“It doesn’t matter if I can’t move. As for being afraid of death, I want to live for a long time. After all, I want to live longer than the crown prince!” With a wave of his hand, he pushed Yi Yin and Fearless to the edge of the cliff. As long as he let go of them, they would die without a burial ground.
When Nangong Qian heard the words of the Duke of Qing, he was filled with anger. His heart wanted to live for a very long time. How could he allow others to curse and slander him like this? Although he was surprised that the ruler of the Nangong Country would actually appear at the side of the crown prince, he thought of the entanglement of the crown prince, the Minister of the Left and the general, as well as a genius doctor.
“It’s better not to speak too heartily about the Duke of Qing. After living for so long, it’s time for the Duke of Qing to go to bed!” Nangong Qian said in a cold voice. If he did not kill the Duke of Qing right now, this old man would have brought so much trouble to Shang Tong in the State of Shang that he could not be left alive.
Although Duke Qing was very angry with Nangong Qian’s words, perhaps he still had the guts to resist with the Crown Prince, but he knew that he did not have the ability to resist with a king. Furthermore, Nangong Qian was too cruel, so the Duke of Qing did not want to offend him.
“Now that Prince Qian is seated in a high position in the Nan Gong Kingdom, his beauty and wealth is innumerable. Why do you need to meddle in the matters of the State of Shang? If Prince Qian leaves now, I can guarantee that I won’t make things difficult for him in the slightest! ” The Duke of Qing kindly advised, but only he knew the benefits.
Nangong Qian didn’t say anything. He just stood beside Shang Wuxin and advanced together. However, this kind of action was enough to let others know of his determination. The Duke of Qing looked at Nangong Qian in pity. He never thought that such a haughty and arrogant king would have such an abnormal moment. The Duke of Qing did not understand Nangong Qian’s actions.
“I’m already standing here. As for my people, let them go!” Shang Wuxin said casually, as if the one being threatened was not herself, but the one in control.
Although the Duke of Qing had done so much just to attract Shang and not to come, he knew that the Crown Prince was very crafty. He might not be able to hold the crown prince back at all if he had let them go, and he laughed loudly, “Does the Crown Prince think I’m that easy to fool?”
“Wuxin, listen to aunt. Leave immediately!” Even though Yinyin was pressed down by someone and stood at the edge of the cliff, she was not the least bit afraid. Her indifferent eyes were the same as Ye Yizhi’s, but they were also a bit more affectionate, “Aunt had wanted to go down to accompany your uncle for a long time. He’s definitely lonely!”
Shang’s heart was filled with concern for her mother. He wanted to call her “mother”, but her heart was filled with the same indifference as always, and her voice did not waver in the slightest, “Aunt, it’s such a pity, I wanted to ask you to accompany me. I can only make Uncle wait below!”
Looking at Shang Wuxin’s obstinate attitude, she did not know whether to be angry or touched. She had indeed dragged this child into this mess. She had thought that Shang Wuxin would never show up in front of her life. After all, she was still so young and had Shang’s grand plans, but seeing this child come like this, Yinyin was more inclined to believe that Shang Wuxin was a heartless person.
“Crown Prince!” His fearless voice could no longer utter a sound, but the words that came out of his mouth were simply two words. She knew that following the crown prince was the best decision of her life. Now, she understood what kind of feelings the crown prince held in that ice-cold heart of his. As long as the person he acknowledged as the crown prince truly protected her, she would have no regrets even if she died.
“Since the Duke of Qing wants my life, then let me exchange it for theirs!” Shang unwittingly walked towards the edge of the cliff, his every move full of momentum. Although Nangong Qian couldn’t be with Shang unwittingly, his eyes stared unblinkingly at Shang unwittingly, as long as anything happened, he would be the first one to rush up.
A fierce and radiant light flashed through the muddleheaded eyes of the Duke of Qing, but at this moment, none of them realized it.
“Since the crown prince is so concerned about the two of them, how could this old man not agree!” However… The Crown Prince should just throw away his weapons! ” The Duke of Qing laughed as he spoke, his smile laced with the joy of his impending success. However, Shang was not in the mood to back down even if he saw it now.
Shang had no intention of throwing away the dagger he carried with him, and in the middle of it, he had no intention of saying a few words to fear nothing. Shang had no intention of throwing away the dagger he carried with him, and in the middle of that, he had no intention of saying a few words to fear nothing.
Two of the Duke of Qing’s subordinates approached Shang’s body and tied his hands. Shang’s body trembled the moment the two men touched.
Shang was not in the mood to get close to Yinyin and Dreadless, and the same goes for the rest of the people who let go of Dreadless and Yinyin as well. Therefore, the three walked towards the cliff face to face, while Yinyin and Dreadless walked towards the land.
The loose soil under his feet made Shang Wuxin’s eyes widen, and his bound hands instantly untied the rope that held him down. A blade was hidden in Shang’s hands, and the ground under his feet began to drop. The Duke of Qing had a really good plan. The ground beside the cliff was loose and loose, and once a person stepped on it, they would fall into the cliff along with the ground. Not only did Shang fail to notice, even Yi Yin and Dauntless felt that something was wrong with the land beneath their feet.
Both Yinyin and Fearless’ hands were still tied up. They looked up at Shang, wanting to do something but couldn’t. Yinyin suddenly shouted out crazily, “Child!” However, just as he finished his sentence, Shang Wuxin threw Yi Yin and Dauntless to a safe place with a wave of both his palms.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Fearless could not make a sound. He could only watch as the crown prince, who was supposed to be her protector with his life, protected him.
At that critical moment, Shang Wuxin suddenly revealed a smile towards Nangong Qian, who was standing not too far away from him. It was a smile that was at odds with her age. It was as if she had seen through the vicissitudes of life, saw through the world, was indifferent, and was extremely lazy. However, there was also a faint feeling of helplessness.
Nan Gong Qian’s phoenix eyes widened to the point where his expression became sinister. He used the light skill to the extreme and flew to the side of his beloved girl, but no matter how fast he was, it was still not fast enough for it to collapse naturally. He watched as the girl he loved fell off the cliff in front of him.
Shang didn’t have the heart to throw Dauntless and Yiyin to a safe place. He didn’t have the time to save himself. Looking at the proud and indifferent man running towards her, she suddenly smiled.
“Xin Er!” A tearing sound rang out from the side of the cliff. Nangong Qian looked at his empty fingertip and jumped down the cliff without any hesitation. He even used his inner Qi to speed up his descent. If they can’t live together, they will die together. Xin’er, don’t be afraid, from now on, even if it is a thunderstorm, I can still accompany you by your side and embrace you to protect you from the elements. So if you slow down a little, I can hug you.
Looking at Shang Xin Xin falling nonstop, Nangong Qian’s eyes flashed with joy. He saw disbelief and shock in Shang Xin’s eyes. He reached out his long arms to grab Shang Xin who was falling, and his heart, which was about to stop beating, calmed down.
“Fool!” Shang didn’t have the intention to throw himself into Nangong Qian’s chest, he couldn’t even feel the force of the wind. This man was truly a fool. He had worked diligently for so many years and had finally risen to a high position. He was enjoying the glory and wealth of the world, yet he jumped off such a great cliff just for his own sake.
“No!” Nangong Qian held Shang Wuxin tightly in his embrace, using him to block the wind.
After Yinyin and Fearless were thrown to a safe place by Shang, the two of them could only watch helplessly as Shang fell off the cliff. Then, they watched helplessly as Nangong Qian followed Shang Wuyu down the cliff.
“Your Highness!” She wanted to jump down, but was stopped by fearlessness. Even though she was trembling right now, she was still holding onto the crown prince’s dagger, but she tried her best to remain calm. The crown prince had just handed the dagger to her and told her, “No matter what happens, don’t panic!”
Red eyes stared fearlessly from afar. He had always known that the Prince loved Crown Prince Shang very much. Although the Prince had once said that the life of Crown Prince Shang was equal to the life of the Prince, now that he had seen him in the distance, he clearly knew how much the Prince loved him.
“You dog, I will kill you!” When Steward Hai saw the crown prince fall off the cliff and rush towards Duke Qing, he used his kung fu to the maximum, but the people around the Duke of Qing were not trash either. At that moment, a fight broke out between the two groups.
On the other side, because of the crown prince’s accident, the Blood Solidified Army killed the crown prince like crazy. On the other side, the Blood Solidified Army killed the crown prince like crazy.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault!”
Even though she was fearless, she still lightly patted Dauntless’s shoulder to make him faint. Yi Yin looked at the cliff in disbelief as her daughter fell down because of her, and Yi Yin instantly felt as if she had aged many years, sitting there. How was she going to meet her own son, how was she going to be able to face this kid who was cold outside but hot inside.
The remaining subordinates of the Duke of Qing were all killed, but the Blood Shang Army that followed along was in a downturn. Everyone had their heads lowered and their eyes were red, fearlessly looking at the crowd and thinking of the crown prince.
Everyone looked at fearlessly in puzzlement, fearlessly wiping away their tears, “Today’s matter is not allowed to spread out even a single word! Everything had remained the same. The Fallen Blood Slayer Army were secretly searching for the crown prince! Crown Prince… The crown prince will be fine! ”
The Crown Prince had taught them not to panic in the face of trouble. What were they doing now? How could such a powerful person as the Crown Prince be in trouble!
“Yes sir!” For a moment, the entire Blood Shang Army seemed to be brimming with power. However, what supported this strength was the crown prince’s belief that he was still alive.
As a mother, she should protect the crown prince’s mansion well. As she looked at Steward Hai and the others, her voice was no longer as soft and loving as it used to be, but rather filled with vigor, “Send a few young masters back to the manor, do not tell the young masters about this matter. Today’s matter will not be spread out. I swear on the Night’s name!”
“Guards, listen up! Go all out to find Prince Shang and Prince Shang!” The order came from afar.
All of a sudden, the subordinates on the cliff, who were not from the same faction, became a rope for those two!
