Chapter 12: Outnumbered
Nangong Yi never thought that Meng Xiao would also be bought by Nangong Ye, and in this way, Nanling Kingdom completely fell into the hands of Nangong Ye.
Because Meng Xiao was in charge of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanling Kingdom, if he really submitted to Nangong Ye, then all the soldiers should also belong to Nangong Ye.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the military power of Nanling Kingdom that Nangong Ye dared to so blatantly plot to usurp the throne, it seems that he had already planned everything.
Up to now, Nangong Yi has to admit that Nangong Ye is indeed a clever person, he not only subdued a high-powered civil and military official, but also seized the military power, and his ultimate goal should be the throne.
"Third brother, what should we do now?" Looking at the dense soldiers in front of her and the Imperial Forest Army gradually approaching behind her, Nangong Jin'er asked with some concern, although she and Nangong Yi both knew martial arts, there were too many people besieging them, and they were simply outnumbered.
"Jin'er, I'll cover you, you leave first." Nangong Yi approached Nangong Jin'er and said in a very small voice, judging from the situation in front of him, it was impossible for both of them to leave safely, so they could only let one person leave first.
"No, let's go together." Nangong Jin'er stubbornly refused, no matter what, she would not leave Nangong Yi alone.
"Jin'er, you go first, I'll be fine." Nangong Yi knew that Nangong Jin'er couldn't rest assured of him, so he swore to her.
"It's really a brother and sister, none of you want to leave here today." Nangong Ye, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked out slowly, his initial target was only Nangong Yi, but now he has changed his mind, since Nangong Jin'er is here together, let's arrest it together.
"Nangong Ye, the grievances between you and me have nothing to do with Jin'er, let her leave." Nangong Yi knew that Nangong Ye had always been full of hostility towards him, but none of this had anything to do with Nangong Jin'er, and she didn't want to be affected because of herself.
"The king has already said that none of you want to leave here today." Nangong Ye didn't want to let Nangong Jin'er leave because he didn't want to leave any trouble, even if he had obtained the throne now, he still didn't want to see anyone who could threaten his position.
"Nangong Ye, do you have to be so ruthless?" Nangong Yi clenched the long sword in his hand, although he had always disliked Nangong Ye, he never thought of meeting him with a sword, after all, they were brothers of flesh and blood.
"From the moment you took away all the favor of your father, you have long been destined to be incompatible between you and me." In Nangong Ye's eyes, he always thought that Nangong Yi had robbed him of everything, so his hostility towards him became deeper and deeper as time increased, and Shen now wanted to kill him.
"I never wanted to fight with you for anything, it's just your own thoughts." Nangong Yi never thought of inheriting the throne, let alone competing with Nangong Ye for the throne, but Nangong Ye never believed what he said.
"Hmph, don't pretend to be high anymore, who doesn't want the incomparably noble throne?" How could Nangong Ye, who regarded the throne as more important than everything, believe that there would be people in this world who did not want the throne?
"Do you think that everyone, like you, can do whatever it takes to get the throne and disregard family affection?" Nangong Yi was talking to Nangong Ye to delay time, and at the same time, he was quickly thinking of a way to escape.
"This king doesn't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, so I will arrest them for this king." Nangong Ye didn't want to talk to Nangong Yi anymore, he suddenly couldn't wait to arrest him, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
After listening to Nangong Ye's order, Leng Wuchen and Meng Xiao led countless soldiers to approach Nangong Yi and Nangong Jin'er.
Ever since Ling Yuwei and Nangong Yi were together, Leng Wuchen had hated Nangong Yi so much, and now that he had the opportunity to arrest him, of course he was very happy.
"Leng Wuchen, isn't the punishment I gave you last time enough?" In fact, Leng Wuchen's appearance also surprised Nangong Yi a little, he originally thought that after the last lesson, he would be more peaceful, but he never thought that he would collude with Nangong Ye.
"Hmph, Lord Yi forgot not to mention Young Master Ben, it seems that Young Master Ben should double down on you to get back the shame he suffered last time." Leng Wuchen's face became extremely gloomy, especially when he thought of the pain that Ling Yuwei and Nangong Ye had made him suffer last time, his heart was even more full of hatred.
"If I knew that this king didn't have to show mercy, I should have killed you with a sword." Leng Wuchen drugged Ling Yuwei three times and twice, Nangong Yi had already wanted to kill him, but his kind Wei'er gave him another chance, but he didn't expect him to still die.
"Feng Shui takes turns, Lord Yi must not have imagined that one day it will fall into the hands of Young Master Ben, right?" Leng Wuchen's face was full of pride, when he received the news of Nangong Ye, he was already excited in his heart, especially after hearing that the person to be arrested this time was Nangong Yi, he was even more happy.
"General Meng, why are you doing this?" Nangong Yi didn't pay any more attention to Leng Wuchen, but looked at Meng Xiao with some sadness. The Meng family has been a general for generations, and after they are all loyal and good, Nangong Yi really can't understand why Meng Xiao was bought by Nangong Ye.
"Lord Yi, you might as well be arrested." Meng Xiao was a little afraid to look at Nangong Yi, and a flash of apology quickly flashed in his eyes, in fact, he didn't want to come to this point.
In the past, Meng Xiao was indeed loyal to the emperor, but Meng Ruolan was his only pearl in the palm of his hand, and she married Leng Wuchen, but Leng Wuchen had already been bought by Nangong Ye.
Meng Ruolan has always been obedient to Leng Wuchen's words, and she was instructed by Leng Wuchen to persuade Meng Xiao to return to Nangong Ye, but Meng Xiao couldn't stand her daughter's bitter pleading, and finally compromised.
Especially when Meng Xiao knew that Nangong Ye had obtained the jade seal, he was even more desperate for him, because he felt that everything was a foregone conclusion.
"General Meng, if it's too late for you to regret it now, this king can pursue nothing." Nangong Yi also wanted to try one last time, hoping that Meng Xiao would change his mind, if he was missing, Nangong Ye's power would be greatly weakened.
"Lord Yi, don't say anything, since the last general has chosen this path, he will not look back." Meng Xiao knew very well that he had no room for regret at all, even if he wanted to, there was no way, because the talisman was already in Nangong Ye's hands.
"In that case, then don't blame this king for being unkind." Originally, Nangong Yi didn't plan to do it, after all, the soldiers in front of him were all subjects of Nanling Kingdom, and he didn't want to hurt them, but now it seems that he has to do it.
Although he and Nangong Jin'er are outnumbered now, maybe they can successfully get out of trouble with a bloody battle.
