Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Accompanied by a majestic and domineering voice, a spacious carriage slowly approached from behind, seemingly not fast, but actually covering a hundred steps in an instant.

Grand Preceptor Zhuang's eyes flickered.

He had been suppressed by Empress Dowager Zhuang's aura for many years after all, and there was still a lingering fear in his bones.

However, considering the current situation, he quickly calmed down.

He and Empress Dowager Zhuang had long since broken ties. He was no longer her subject.

General Nangong gestured, and Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage drove straight in and stopped not far from Grand Preceptor Zhuang and General Nangong.

She practically came alone. Besides Eunuch Qin, there was only one eunuch driving the carriage, who had no martial arts skills.

General Nangong looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Empress Dowager Zhuang of the State of Zhao is truly impressive."

"Eunuch Qin." Empress Dowager Zhuang ordered lightly.

Eunuch Qin understood and stepped forward to open the carriage curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang sat calmly in the low-key yet luxurious carriage, looking fearless in the face of danger. "General Nangong of the State of Yan, how about we make a deal? You can consider Xiao Heng dead today. Aijia guarantees that he will never appear in public again. In exchange, Aijia can promise you three conditions, any conditions."

General Nangong smilingly said, "Empress Dowager Zhuang is indeed generous. I heard that this kid has no blood relation to Empress Dowager Zhuang. Empress Dowager Zhuang can ignore even her own nephew Ning Wang. Why is she so persistently protective of an outsider?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang's voice carried authority, "This is Aijia’s affair. General Nangong need not worry about it. Aijia only asks General Nangong, do you want to make this deal or not?"

Grand Preceptor Zhuang interjected, "General Nangong, don't trust her. She is deceitful and cunning. If you release Xiao Heng, she might turn around and use her army to wipe you out! I know your death warriors are formidable, but even they may not withstand an army of a hundred thousand."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's tone turned cold, "Do you think if you kill Xiao Heng here, I will let you leave the State of Zhao alive? If General Nangong doubts it, you can try it. If you dare to harm a hair on Xiao Heng's head today, I'll have all of you buried with him!"

General Nangong narrowed his eyes, seemingly contemplating the possibility of this outcome.

Empress Dowager Zhuang knew very well how to give a little sweet after a slap. She continued to persuade gently, "This is a profitable deal. Regardless of who Xiao Heng is, he will never appear in the world in his current identity again. He will not interfere in any of your affairs in the State of Yan. Aijia believes General Nangong acts on orders, and loyalty is valuable, but isn't the lives of so many of your subordinates valuable too? This is a win-win situation. Why not consider it, general? If you are worried that Aijia will go back on my word in the future, didn't Aijia promise you three conditions? I'm sure the general will find a way to get a handle on Aijia.”

"General Nangong, don't believe her! She's my sister. I know her character very well. She's never had any integrity!"

Grand Preceptor Zhuang couldn't just watch Empress Dowager Zhuang and General Nangong strike a deal, for he would lose his value that way.

Empress Dowager Zhuang continued to press on General Nangong's soft spot, "General Nangong, are you still hesitating? Are you doubting Aijia’s sincerity? Isn't Aijia’s solo arrival enough to show my determination to negotiate with General Nangong? The Nangong Family ranks eleventh in the State of Yan. Although our State of Zhao is a lower state, we still have the ability to help the Nangong Family prosper."

General Nangong's gaze fell on Xiao Heng's face.

Xiao Heng's hands were already tied by Grand Preceptor Zhuang's guards with a rope. He stood proudly under the sky, showing no signs of being trapped or being afraid.

His features very much resembled someone.

A pair of nearly identical eyes flashed through General Nangong's mind, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Grand Preceptor Zhuang suddenly pulled out his whip and struck Xiao Heng. He was a civil official, not very strong, but the whip still carried some force and left a visible mark on Xiao Heng's tender skin.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes darkened, "Zhuang Changde, you've gone mad!"

Changde was Grand Preceptor Zhuang's courtesy name.

Empress Dowager Zhuang had never called Grand Preceptor Zhuang by this name before.

General Nangong was also somewhat displeased, not because Xiao Heng was whipped, but because after that whip, Xiao Heng's brow furrowed, no longer reminding people of those proud and untamed eyes from memory.

General Nangong spoke slowly, "Empress Dowager Zhuang, your conditions are tempting, but I'm afraid I cannot cooperate with you. Moreover, because you recognized me today, I cannot let you live."

"General Nangong." Xiao Heng suddenly spoke, "Are you really set on being my enemy?"

General Nangong arrogantly declared, "This is not about being your enemy; this is about killing you. You're not qualified to be my enemy."

Xiao Heng, hands bound, looked at him seriously, "General Nangong, you can’t just bully the young and weak."

General Nangong hesitated for a moment.

He raised his hand and ordered, "Attack, leave none alive!"

Grand Preceptor Zhuang opened his mouth, "General Nangong..."

A Yan Dragon Shadow Guard swung his blade fiercely towards Xiao Heng's head!

At the critical moment, there was a swishing sound in the night sky, and an arrow flew fiercely, piercing through the heart of the Yan Dragon Shadow Guard!

After piercing through his body, the arrow nailed itself into the ground in front of General Nangong's horse, its tail swaying, indicating its tremendous force.

This was no ordinary arrow. Its shaft was longer, its head larger, and it had terrifying barbs, resembling a ferocious beast.

General Nangong's heart sank!

He had never seen such an arrow before!

A sense of ominous foreboding surged in his heart. The next moment, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble, and dust and gravel began to shake.

The horses, startled, began to restlessly stamp their hooves.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The approaching sound of hooves was like heavy iron striking against cold stone, hitting hard at everyone's tightened hearts!

It was clear that the noise was still some distance away, but the powerful killing intent had already swept through like flying sand and rolling stones, shrouding the entire sky and earth in a terrifying murderous atmosphere!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It wasn’t the sound of war drums, but it struck people’s hearts even harder than war drums!

The sound of iron hooves grew faster, like a rushing torrent surging forward.

It was a unit of armored cavalry donned with ghostly visors, holding long spears and shields, and even their horses' heads were covered with ghostly helmets.

They appeared like demons from hell, exuding an aura of deathly gloom, leaving everyone breathless with shock!

General Nangong's expression changed drastically!

Wasn't this the rumored Ghost-Faced Army?

The Ghost-Faced Army were not truly dead people, but they were as terrifying as the undead. Wherever they went, not a single soul remained alive, as if they dragged their opponents alive into the underworld.

The Ghost-Faced Army’s commander, wielding a massive long blade, galloped away from the ground, soaring over the heads of fifty Dragon Shadow Guards. Mounted on a ghostly steed, and exuding an unstoppable aura of killing intent, he charged straight towards General Nangong and Grand Preceptor Zhuang, arrogantly and protectively positioning himself in front of Xiao Heng!

Grand Preceptor Zhuang stared fixedly at the other party, sucking in a breath of cold air, "Marquis Xuanping?!"

He looked towards Xiao Heng again and saw Xiao Heng's calm demeanor, showing no surprise at the arrival of Marquis Xuanping.

This was bad!

They fell into a trap! New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

After all that chaos and escape attempts, it turned out to be a diversion. The real killing weapon was Marquis Xuanping!

Marquis Xuanping wasn't wearing a helmet.

At this moment, that exquisitely beautiful face, which was known to be the number one in the State of Zhao, exuded endless killing intent.

"Want to kill my son?"

Marquis Xuanping pointed his long blade at the other party, smirked wickedly, and said full of arrogance, "Do you, cowardly bastards, think you can get away with it, or that I, Xiao Ji, can't lift the blade anymore?!"
