C444 (1/2)

Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the falling snowflakes red.

The blade in his hand was stained with blood, and the bones under his horse's hooves were dense.

Duan Chengxuan pulled on the reins, and his killing intent that had not dissipated looked coldly at the person kneeling on the ground.

”I didn't expect a woman to be able to lead troops. Even your vice general has more backbone than you.” The blade in Duan Cheng Xuan's hand was practically touching the tip of Ai Qi's nose.

The deputy general next to Ai Qi had already been decapitated, only exposing a terrifying face as he faced the sky.

Eiche's limbs trembled as she kneeled on the ground. Even after putting on her armor, she was still unable to differentiate between a male and a female.

”You won't kill me.” The snowflakes turned into droplets of water on her forehead. Before Duan Chengxuan's large group arrived, she said in a soft voice, ”I've long disliked my father, so I can give you what you want as long as you are willing to leave me with my life.”

”You kidnapped Gu Cheng and the rest, that's why you acquired two cities.” Duan Chengxuan sneered. ”This is still the two you two stole, I'll call them back one by one. You're useless.”

”I can help you win the throne.”

Then the soldiers who had followed her surrounded her. Before they could stab the blade into the chest of the enemy, they heard the high-ranking officer on their black horse swing his long sword, and the blood on the blade splattered onto her body, causing her to faint on the spot.

”Prince, he …”

”Bring her back and lock her up.”

Duan Chengxuan pulled up the reins and turned around to return to the camp. At the same time, the soldier that delivered the emergency report fell down from his horse and knelt before him.

”Your Highness! ”Jiang Yan sent her main force to attack Guan Ping City, requesting for reinforcements!”

The crowd was stunned. Duan Chengxuan finally understood why the person he was facing was only an unfavoured woman.

It turned out to be a diversion.

Just as he was about to give the order, the word 'throne' suddenly flashed through his mind.

He could still see the scene of Ai Qi's wild laughter. The tombstone under the gutter was carved with the names of the two men.

Only by obtaining the throne would he be able to obtain both power and love.

”The third prince naturally has a plan, but you still have to prepare everything. After four hours, we will rush to Guan Ping city.” Duan Cheng Xuan slightly raised her hand.

”But four hours …” The soldier's face turned pale.

”Do as I say.” Every single one of the soldiers held their breath, but they didn't dare to disobey.

Only because Duan Chengxuan was their Martial Immortal.

He always had a way to solve everything, and he always won the war for Navy Tide.

And the Third Prince was only a mediocre prince, so they naturally knew who to trust.

A gale suddenly rose and a large amount of snow-white ice crystals scattered with the wind, wrapping up layer after layer of the blood-stained battlefield. Duan Chengxuan walked into the warm tent and Su Yu Wan threw herself into his embrace, not caring about the blood on his body.

”Big Brother Xuan …”

”I'm back.” Duan Chengxuan gently embraced Su Yu Wan as his heart gradually sank back into his stomach.

”I heard you brought Ai Qi back, but you found out something about Jiang Yan.” Su Yu Wan hastily went to greet him and carefully wiped away the blood on Duan Cheng Xuan's face.

”No.” Duan Cheng Xuan still told her everything about Ai Qi's words.
