After walking out of the tent, Jiang Ying hurriedly said, “Your Royal Highness, I want to go with you tonight.”
Nan Xun, the Crown Prince of Nanyue, had cultivated an evil technique, and Feng Yili was still injured. Hence, Jiang Ying wanted to follow Feng Yili. “Don’t worry. 1 nave connaence In YU yunxl. ‘rms Plan will work,” Feng Ylll said nonchalantly.
“The County Princess’ plan is indeed good. Fortunately, the King of Xinan dealt with the traitor in advance. Otherwise, the plan would have been exposed to Nanyue,” Jiang Ying said happily.
“Do you think all the traitors have been eliminated?” Feng Yili suddenly asked in a meaningful tone.
“Ah? What do you mean?” Jiang Ying was stunned.
However, Feng Yili did not further explain. He only said in a deep voice, “Tell Xiaolan to follow me. As for you, Jiang Chuan, and Xiuran, stay in the city. I have more important things for you to do.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
Late at night.
The sound of war drums rang in the air.
The city gate was opened, and countless armored figures rode out of the city.
The troops of Xinan were dressed in silver armor, which contrasted with the black armor of Nanyue’s troops.
Smoke billowed in the air, and the smell of danger permeated the air.
Yu Yunxi turned around and reminded Shen Hezhi, “Brother, wait with General
Li. I’ll go with Feng Yili.”
Shen Hezhi pondered for a moment before he nodded.
At the same time, Nan Xun sat on the horse’s back, looking majestic. He mocked loudly, “What day is it today? So many generals of Xinan have been mobilized. Oh, isn’t that the Prince Regent? Did you come to join the fun?
However, that’s not surprising. After all, there aren’t that many generals left in
Xinan. If you don’t come, there won’t be anyone to fight.”
Although Nan Xun was quite a distance away, his voice resounded loudly because he used his internal energy.
“He really recovered!” Liu Xiaolan exclaimed in shock.
The wave of energy caused Yu Yunxi to clutch her chest in pain.
‘What kind of evil technique did Nan Xun cultivate? It’s like he’s an immortal…’
At the same time, Yu Yunxi frowned and said to Feng Yili, “Remember not to use too much of your internal energy…”
Feng Yili’s internal injuries were even more serious than hers. He could not afford to suffer any more injuries.
Upon hearing the worry in her voice, the corners of Feng Yili’s lips curled up slightly. He replied in a horse voice, “I’ll remember that…’ On the other side, Nan Xun continued to provoke them.
However, Yu Yunxi did not want to waste time with Nan Xun. She said, “Let’s go.”
With that, the troops from Xinan attacked first.
Yu Yunxi’s goal was very clear. She rode her horse to Nan Xun and began to attack him. She knew his internal energy was terrifying, and it was not suitable for her to use internal energy now. As such, she attacked with her dagger. His internal energy was powerful, but he might not be as good as her in close combat.
Nan Xun quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. He felt as though Yu Yunxi was toying with him like a monkey. He roared and began to mobilize his internal energy, which caused his robe to tear.
Yu Yunxi was forced to retreat by Nan Xun’s internal energy.
Nan Xun seized the opportunity and thrust his sword out, intending to stab Yu Yunxi’s heart.
At this moment, Feng Yili rode over and blocked the attack with one hand and helped her up with the other. He asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine… Be careful!”
Yu Yunxi had just reassured Feng Yili when she saw Nan Xun attacking them again. She quickly pulled Feng Yili away.
Nan Xun was like a lunatic now, completely out of control.
Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili exchanged a look and tacitly attacked Nan Xun from left and right, fighting in close combat.
This time, Nan Xun was in an even sorrier state.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed. She acted like she could avoid Nan Xun’s attack and allowed the attack to land before she fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and quickly climbed up the horse closest to her before she shouted, “Everyone, retreat!”
At this time, the battle had already moved to a place not far from Bright Moon Mountain.
Nanyue’s troops had blocked their way back to the city. It seemed that Xinan had nowhere to go but up the mountain. However, this was exactly what Xinan wanted.
Yu Yunxi turned around and looked at General Li and the others, conversing silently with their eyes.
When they arrived at the fork before the mountain, Yu Yunxi, Feng Yili, and Liu Xiaolan decisively brought a small group of people up the mountain.
On the other hand, Shen Hezhi and Li Song led the others away.
Just as expected, the person Nan Xun hated most was Yu Yunxi. Seeing that she had run up the mountain, he immediately chased after her with his men. Liu Xiaolan wiped the blood off his face and asked, “Sister-in-law, where are the traps?”
Although Liu Xiaolan did not fight Nan Xun earlier, he had watched the fight. He had seen how vicious Nan Xun was. Ordinary people would not be a match for Nan Xun at all. If Feng Yili was not injured, Feng Yili might have had the upper hand. However, now that Feng Yili was injured, they were in danger.
“We’re almost there,” Yu Yunxi said reassuringly.
When they were halfway up the mountain, Yu Yunxi said, “Everyone, retreat behind the stone.”
The men she brought here were all carefully selected. They reacted very quickly and hid behind the stone after Yu Yunxi gave the order.
As for Nan Xun and his men, they had just arrived.
The trap she had set here should have rocks rolling the mountain, squashing the enemy.
However, Yu Yunxi waited for a long time after triggering the mechanism, but nothing happened.
“Oh, Yu Yunxi, you can’t run anymore so you waited for me here?” Nan Xun, who was covered in blood, said with a sneer as he slowly rode his horse over.
Seeing that Nan Xun and his men were closing in on them, but there was still no movement, Liu Xiaolan finally realized that something was wrong. He asked anxiously, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on? Why is there no movement?”
Nan Xun, who was riding a horse, sneered when he heard these words. He jumped down and clapped his hands before he said to the people behind him, “Let the County Princess and the Princess Regent see how useless the trap is.”
Following that, a few men brought out the mechanisms of the traps that had been dismantled.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaolan said in shock and horror, “Sister-in-law, they seemed to have known about our traps in advance…”
Nan Xun said smugly, “Yu Yunxi, you think you’re very smart, but you don’t even know who the real traitor is. You’re destined to be defeated by me.”
Yu Yunxi was very calm even after she heard Nan Xun’s provocative words… She asked, “The person who colluded with you isn’t General Ying, right?”
