Dong Fang Su's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, "Today's pain, in the future, I will definitely return it to Xiao Ruo Ao for you!"

Mu Qian Xue knew that he had to do what he said, after replying, she continued to do what she wanted to do. After she was done, urgent footsteps came from outside the Yongde Palace, followed by a team of trained and fully armed Yulin Army s rushing in, with a rough look, there were more than a hundred of them, all of them had solemn expressions, with their hands on the left hilt, if Mu Qian Xue and the rest moved, the steel blade would immediately be unsheathed.

After encircling Mu Qian Xue and the others, the Yulin Army quickly opened up a path. A figure slowly walked over from the end of the road.

"Woo woo!" The eyes of the Cao who was tied to the joyous tree lit up when she saw Xiao Ruo Ao. She tried her best to make a sound, reminding him to save her as well as the gunpowder that was carefully being buried under the tree. It was a pity that her mouth was blocked and she couldn't say a single complete word.

Xiao Ruo Ao did not know about the gunpowder, and coldly stared at Mu Qian Xue: "Death is at hand, and yet you still dare to cause trouble, why are you still not releasing them!"

When the palace maids came to Myriad Temple to report, Yulin Army had just discovered that someone had knocked out the palace guards and barged in. After a moment of confirmation, he guessed that these people were the ones who helped Mu Qian Xue abduct the Cao.

Only, he could not understand, in these four years, he had always been sending people to closely monitor Mu Qian Xue, and knew every single movement of hers like the back of his hand. He had never heard of her secretly cultivating any kind of force behind his back, and the Nanzhao was annihilated, leaving behind only Mu Lin Feng who hid in the Northern Week like a stray dog and did not dare to reveal herself, where did these people come from?

Although they had both gone to the Nanzhao to propose marriage, because the time they entered the city was different, they were split into several batches and arranged separately, so Xiao Ruo Ao had never seen Dong Fang Su before.

Mu Qian Xue's flawless and exquisite eyebrows slightly bent, releasing a trace of charm that was as cold as the edge of a blade, "She is my life saving talisman, how can I let her go so easily."

"No matter what you do, it's just a last ditch effort. You can't escape me, give up!" He was an extremely shrewd person, so even though he was worried about the Cao, he did not reveal it to the public.

"So you're saying, you don't plan on taking the treasures and the lives of the Cao?" Mu Qian Xue smiled slightly. It was only at this moment that Xiao Ruo Ao realized she was holding a small, delicate dagger, and before he could say anything, Mu Qian Xue had already moved with light footsteps, arriving at the side of the Cao who was firmly tied to the tree trunk. The cold dagger moved about her neck, causing the latter to be terrified, and to have nowhere to hide.

"Since we have nothing to talk about, there's no need for me to spare her life!" Following this sentence, Mu Qian Xue's eyes became serious and his hand exerted a little strength. The sharp dagger immediately pierced through Cao's tender skin, and dark red warm blood flowed down the blade, shocking everyone.

Xiao Ruo Ao never thought that Mu Qian Xue would attack her the moment he said that. Although he had a cold heart, she had feelings for the childhood sweetheart, Cao. She could not bear to see her die in front of him, so she quickly shouted: "Wait!"

Mu Qian Xue stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes, and asked: "How is it?"

The muscles on Xiao Ruo Ao's face tensed up, and he said coldly: "Does Nanzhao really have any treasures left behind?"

"A hundred years ago, in order to protect the future of Nanzhao, our ancestors buried a large amount of treasures. Other than royal father and mother, only I and the third brother know about this matter; as long as you let me leave, I will tell you the location of the treasures. With the Nanzhao and this treasure, the West Chu will soon become the same existence as the Northern Week."

"Xiao Ruo Ao, you have already exterminated the Nanzhao. I no longer have any relatives in this world, so even if I am still alive, I won't pose any threat to you!"

Xiao Ruo Ao's eyes darkened as he stared at her and said, "If the matter of the treasure deposit is real, then letting you go is not an option. "Why should I believe your words?"

Mu Qian Xue sneered: "I'm not you, you went back on your words!"

Her words caused Xiao Ruo Ao's face to darken. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Fine, we promise you, if you dare lie to us, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, we will take your life!"

"It's a deal. Here, I'll return it to you!" Mu Qian Xue kept his word, and after saying that, he kept his dagger. Seeing this, Xiao Ruo Ao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly walked to the base of the joyous tree, and after untying the ropes of the Cao, who was drenched in cold sweat, he shouted out with a gloomy face: "Capture Mu Qian Xue and the rest, don't let any of them escape!"

Hearing these words, Mu Qian Xue's gaze suddenly turned cold as she coldly said, "Xiao Ruo Ao, you are indeed going back on your word?" After saying so, she silently took two steps back and quietly left the range of the acacia tree.

Xiao Ruo Ao did not notice her actions. He threw the untied rope onto the ground and said without any emotion: "Let alone there is no treasure here, even if there is, it will not be enough to exchange for your life. Mu Qian Xue, We have already said that you cannot escape our palms!"

He was extremely clear of the energy contained within this seemingly frail woman's body. Although the Nanzhao had already been annihilated, the Northern Week, Qi and the rest of the countries still existed, so once any one of them obtained Mu Qian Xue, they would pose a great threat to him. The words just now were just a feint to save the Cao, and from the very beginning, he had never intended to let Mu Qian Xue go.

"Is that so?" Following these two words, the smile on Mu Qian Xue's lips gradually widened. By the time Xiao Ruo Ao sensed that something was amiss, it was already too late, so his voice, which was as cold as fresh snow, pierced into his ears, "If he dares to move, immediately shoot!"

It was only at this moment that everyone realized that atop the glazed roof of the Yongde Palace's main hall, a grey figure was crouching. At this time, the person's longbow was already fully drawn, and the bowstring that was nocked with oil was burning with arrows.

Xiao Ruo Ao never thought that Mu Qian Xue would have such plans, her face immediately became frighteningly gloomy, but he was not worried, "You think a mere rocket can scare us? "What a joke!"

Hearing that, Xiao Ruo Ao immediately said: "That's impossible, where did the Yongde Palace get the gunpowder from?!"

Mu Qian Xue stretched out her hand to catch a apricot flower that was as thin as a piece of ice silk and held it under her nose to smell, then said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty forgot what I said on New Year's Eve so quickly? When she returned from her victory, she would light up the two boxes of fireworks to celebrate. Although the Yanzhou was not the last one to die, these fireworks …. I'm still preparing it for Your Majesty! "

"Your Majesty, when chenqie stepped into the Yongde Palace before, I indeed sensed an extremely strong smell of gunpowder. Also, look …" Cao tremblingly pointed to the lead line on the ground that was inconspicuous mixed in with the spring mud, but it was enough to take their lives.

Xiao Ruo Ao's face became extremely ugly, he finally understood, Mu Qian Xue had long since expected that he would not believe the words of the treasure, so from the very beginning, her goal was to lure him to Cao's side, and then use the gunpowder buried under the ground to force her.

This slut could not be allowed to live!
