Chapter 52: She Takes You Hostage
Feng Xiyue looked incredulous, looked at Feng Junwei with wide eyes, and cried in her voice, what a pear blossom raining. "Junwei, I just cherish the moon! You promised to marry me after I eradicated Feng Qiao, you promised to love me only for the rest of your life, and the time when Zuo Xiang was the first time, you and I made an appointment to meet in Bangyue Pavilion, and then you were framed by Feng Qiao"
Feng Xiyue kept talking about things that only the two of them knew, hoping that he could recognize her.
"Nonsense! When did this king do those things? Say, what is the purpose of Feng Qiao sending you here? Use the face of a phoenix feather to pretend to cherish the moon, and don't pretend to be like a dot"
"No, no, no...... How can you not recognize me, how can you deny what you have done......", Feng Xiyue shook her head and slumped in the attic, and the last bit of hope was also dashed.
When she saw the battle below, she suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter was sad and painful.
She knew, not that he didn't remember what he had done, but that he deliberately denied it. Everyone in the world knows that the Nine Kings and the princess have a deep relationship, so with the hostage of "Phoenix Yu", Feng Qiao will have some scruples, and he will have an extra chance of winning. As long as he can confuse Feng Qiao and let Feng Qiao withdraw his troops, he won't care if this "Phoenix Feather" is real or not.
Sure enough, in front of the imperial power, everything will become very small, whether it is feelings, human life, or sincerity.
Feng Qiao had received the news from the messengers and ordered a yellow flag to be raised on the watchtower, indicating a request for an end to the war.
It is inconceivable that the side that is about to win a war should ask for an armistice. But this decision was made jointly by the three main generals standing on the watchtower of the Flying Feather Ride, so no one dared to question it.
"Out of the yellow flag", Feng Junwei ordered.
"Yes!"
"Knock knock! Stop! The drums of the war resounded throughout the grassland, and the red-eyed, silver, and gold-armored soldiers all put down their weapons and retreated to their own barracks, looking at each other with fierce eyes.
"Feng Junwei, why did you come to Huang Yu?!" , Ye Lingya shouted angrily at the opposite side.
"Princess, please", Feng Junwei said with a smile to "Huang Yu" who was sitting on the ground. "What are you doing in a daze? Don't help the princess up! ”
"Yes!"
The two guards stood up with the "Phoenix Feather" and asked her to face the watchtower where Feng Qiao and the others were.
Feng Qiao was also watching her.
In the shadows that others could not see, the golden eyes glowed with a cold light.
Stunning posture is rare in the world, and even rarer on the battlefield.
Under the black robe, the appearance of the alluring city, the posture of the closed moon, and the starry eyes are shining. The green silk is like a waterfall, the vertical and waist of the obedience, a few wisps of breeze blow by, and a few strands of hair dance, which shows that the beauty is very delicate. But that beautiful face didn't have any fearful expression at this time, quiet and calm, as if she wouldn't be afraid of anything, and only looked at her husband from afar.
There was an amazing gasp on the ground. When have the men who fought on the battlefield ever seen such a fairy with an outstanding demeanor and a country and a city. Such a stunning beauty, even the emperor has rarely seen it. They couldn't help but regret that such a fairy who seemed to have fallen into the dust should not have appeared here, in the hands of the enemy.
Afterward, those who survived the war recalled Huang Yulai with admiration. It is said that she is a heroine, a heroic woman, and a goddess who has descended into the mortal world.
"Sister!" , Ye Lingya lost all his composure the moment he saw Huang Yu.
Feng Qiao and Yue Wenyu stood in the shadows behind Ye Ling Cliff, the gray light obscuring the subtle expressions on their faces. From the moment the messenger reported that the princess had been captured alive, they knew that this living phoenix feather was not real. Since Feng Junwei wanted to threaten them to withdraw from the army with "Phoenix Feather", he might as well plan and use Feng Junwei's hand to eradicate that woman.
Huang Yu, there is only one person in their hearts, and anyone who imitates her is insulting her, let alone such a vicious woman, if it weren't for Feng Xiyue's usefulness to them, they would have let her die a thousand times and ten thousand times.
Feng Junwei looked at Ye Lingya's reaction with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth hooked up a condescending smile, he took a few steps forward, side by side with Feng Xiyue, and grasped her thin shoulders with his broad hands.
"Tut-tut, what a touching brother-sister relationship, the king who saw it also remembered the royal sister and the wife and children at home, they must still be at home looking forward to the king going back", after that, Feng Junwei pretended to raise his sleeves to wipe away the tears that did not exist, and took the opportunity to look down and see the soldiers below also began to be slightly moved. "The king's son has just been born, and he is still so soft and small, and the king has not had time to hug him before he is about to go to the battlefield. It's been a year, and this king hasn't seen him once, Jiangwu, my father misses you so much! ”
"My youngest son is also just one year old, born with asthma, I only accompanied their mother and son for three days before going to war, how is my poor lady going to live alone, how is my son now...... Alas......", a middle-aged soldier lamented.
"Alas, yes, we were all ordinary people, guarding the family to live, who would have thought that the war would come so suddenly. I have two sons, the eldest son is a major general and the younger son is a pioneer," said an old man in gold armor.
"Oh? You are so old, your son is a major general, why didn't you be placed in an easy position? A young soldier next to him asked.
The old man nodded, and shook his head again, "Not long after my eldest son took office, he was pierced in the chest by an enemy spear, and he was killed. My youngest son was unfortunately found on a sneak attack mission, and he was afraid that he would not survive the torture, so he took poison and committed suicide. Pity my old woman, still waiting for us to go back at home......", said the old man with his hands over his shriveled face and began to cry bitterly, the cry was desolate, infected the emotions of the other soldiers, and a sad atmosphere permeated the battlefield.
As a result, the soldiers' fighting spirit dissipated, and they just wanted to return home as soon as possible to reunite with their wives and children.
Feng Junwei saw that his goal had been achieved, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he still had to pretend to be sad. "Feng Qiao, for the sake of our brothers, I can let Huang Yu live, but I have one condition"
"You say"
"If you retreat to a hundred miles away, I will release the phoenix feather, and from then on we will not interfere with the river water."
One hundred miles, give Langang Mountain to others.
Feng Qiao smiled indifferently.
Wishful thinking, why don't you grab it!
But good qualities do not allow him to be so impudent.
"Wishful thinking, Feng Junwei, why don't you rob it!" , a gust of wind rose, "Huang Yu" raised his palm high, only to hear "Bang!" With a crisp sound, five slender finger prints appeared on Feng Junwei's face.
Feng Junwei touched the numb left side of his face in disbelief, and a bloodshot flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth. "Slut! Slut! What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you take down this slut for me! ”
No matter how he says that he is also an emperor, the dignified emperor was slapped in the face by a woman in public, where is his prestige? How can he convince the public?! It's really infuriating, hateful, and deserve to be killed!
"I see who dares!" , "Huang Yu" eyes flashed, staring haughtily at the guards who were about to bind her, and the king's spirit was fully revealed.
The guard was so strong that he was glared at by those fierce eyes, his legs were weak, and he was so frightened by a woman that he took two steps back. They looked timidly at their king, in a dilemma.
"Idiot! Am I your master or is she?! Don't hurry up yet! ”
"Yes!"
"Brush!" , A delicate sharp dagger engraved with sapphire was put against his neck by the "Phoenix Feather" backhand, and with a slight force, the blade cut through the white and fragile skin and drew a bloody mark. "I'll see who dares to come!" , The woman's expression was indifferent and fearless, looking at the enemies around her arrogantly, without the slightest timidity. More sacrificing life than a soldier, wiser than an emperor. This is the real king! "If you dare to come, I will dare to kill myself, if I die, you will lose an important hostage, and my death will inspire the fighting spirit of the Flying Feather Cavalry soldiers, and Qiao will immediately capture Langang Mountain!" Weigh for yourselves which is more important."
"Xiyue, what are you doing here!" , Feng Junwei lowered his face and lowered his voice to "Phoenix Yu" to remind her of her identity.
"Huang Yu" didn't seem to understand, Liu frowned, pressed the dagger a few points closer, and the blood slid down the thin line of the silver dagger. "Don't talk nonsense, didn't the prince understand me?"
Feng Xiyue was originally a person who was very afraid of death, but now she would threaten death, and Feng Junwei knew that she was not playing around with him. He quickly analyzed the current situation, his face changed, and he hurriedly smiled and persuaded him: "Okay, okay, let's not move." Let's say it's good, what kind of hands to move, as the saying goes, harmony makes money. Princess, you see that this dagger is so sharp, how bad it is if it hurts your noble body."
"Can the prince let me say a few words to my husband's brother?"
"You say what you say", Feng Junwei nodded hurriedly, not to mention a few words, even dozens of sentences, he had to agree, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that this aunt would do anything amazing when her temper came up. The most important thing now is to keep Huang Yu as a hostage, so Feng Junwei must endure it.
"Husband", "Huang Yu" spoke calmly, not like on the battlefield, but more like in the luxurious and warm Nine Kings' Mansion, a gentle and virtuous wife gently asked her husband what he wanted to eat today.
"Huang Yu" looked at the husband in the distance with a complicated expression, among them there was reluctance, nostalgia, and even more Kuangda, who put life and death out of bounds. A little tear welled up from her eyes, and she quickly wiped it away. Falling in love but not being able to stay together is probably one of the most painful things in the world.
"I'm here", Feng Qiao looked back at his wife gently, seeing this familiar face, he was still confused for a moment. For a moment, he wanted to go through thousands of troops to comfort his wife in front of him, as he had seen many times in his dreams, and he rushed over desperately, he wanted to hug her, rub her tightly into his arms, and tell her how much he missed her. He wished that everything in front of him was a dream, and when he woke up, Huang Yu was not dead, and was still waiting for him to come home for dinner, and wait for him to make sycamore wine with her.
