But, she really did not expect that this time, Yan Zhong Shan would actually bring over a thousand soldiers to capture her. Luckily, the bamboo arrows were prepared well, and with the soldiers suddenly facing a one-sided massacre, their morale was broken, and they ran in all directions; otherwise, it would really be difficult to deal with, but the only pity was that Yan Zhong Shan escaped, hopefully … What he was worried about would not happen.

Advice and advice may seem easy, but in reality, it takes the most effort and effort. All of the military advisers do not live long because of this reason.

After resting for a while, Shi Wu and the others, dressed in flowing gray clothes, quickly rushed up the mountain. They quickly arrived in front of, and as Mu Qian Xue swept her eyes over them, she could not help but feel her heart sink a little when she did not see Yan Zhong Shan.

"Where's Yan Zhong Shan?"

Shi Wu's eyes flashed slightly as he cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Prince, even though our subordinates were rushing on the way, they were still unable to stop Yan Zhong Shan and the others, causing them to … and fled back to the ancestral hall. "

Dong Fang Su said coldly: "It's just a mere ancestral hall, could it be that you can't break in?"

Shi Jiu took a step forward, "Prince, breaking through an Ancestral Temple is naturally not difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that Yan Zhong Shan kidnapped those old people of the Nanzhao.

"When did you become so useless that you can't even cut off a wounded person?" Dong Fang Su finally understood what the worries that had been lingering between Mu Qian Xue's brows all this time were.

Shi Wu looked at Shi Jiu who was at the side stealthily, then kneeled on one knee, "This subordinate is incompetent, and asks Prince to punish me!"

Mu Qian Xue took a light breath, stood up and said: "Now is not the time to look into this. What request has Yan Zhong Shan made, to leave this place?"

Shi Wu raised his head and said, "Yan Zhong Shan isn't willing to say, he only said that he wants to see Princess. I've asked Sixteen and the others to keep their eyes on Yan Zhong Shan, so within a short period of time, Nanzhao and the rest shouldn't be in any danger." Just like Shi Jiu, he only called himself "Subordinate" to Dong Fang Su.

Hearing that, Dong Fang Su's brows immediately twitched, "Yan Zhong Shan is at the end of his road, I wonder what he will do, I will still go, I promise you, I will definitely find a way to bring the Mu family's people to see you."

Mu Qian Xue shook her head: "I know that Prince has good intentions, but Yan Zhong Shan wants to see me. If Prince goes, it will only enrage Yan Zhong Shan, and worsen the situation."

"But …"

"Other than me and third brother, they are the only ones left in Mu family. I do not wish to take their lives as risks, I hope Prince can understand."

Seeing her determined heart, Dong Fang Su could only concede, "Alright then, I'll go with you."

After making their decision, the group descended the mountain. They mounted the horses they had prepared beforehand and galloped towards the ancestral hall. Just as the last ray of light was being mercilessly devoured by the darkness, they finally arrived at the ancestral hall.

The doors of the ancestral hall were tightly shut, so that nothing could be seen except for a few candles burning through the crack in the door.

After knowing that Yan Zhong Shan was inside, Mu Qian Xue walked to the door and coldly said: "Yan Zhong Shan, I'm here. Open the door."

After a while, the sound of bolts moving could be heard, followed by the black and red door slowly opening, Ling Mu Qian Xue was able to see the situation inside clearly.

A dozen or so elders and children were tied up and kneeling on the ground. A few steel sabers that had not dried up yet were resting on their necks. If there was any movement, they would immediately turn into ghosts under their sabers.

Yan Zhong Shan sat in the chair, his blind eye already wrapped around it, only one eye was already filled with hatred.

Seeing Mu Qian Xue, all the old Nanzhao people who were kneeling on the ground were extremely excited, some of them even had tears in their eyes, but their mouths were stuffed with cloth, they could not speak, and could only groan out loud.

"You're finally here!" Yan Zhong Shan said these words sinisterly.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Mu Qian Xue stepped into the room accompanied by Dong Fang Su and his. He met Yan Zhong Shan's venomous snake like gaze and asked: "What do you want?"

Yan Zhong Shan stroked his blind eye, and said each word clearly: "Empress is so skilled, not only did he see through our plan with a single glance, he even oversaw an army and caused us to lose a lot of lives.

Mu Qian Xue said expressionlessly: "Let's not talk about this nonsense, as long as you let these people go, I will make all of you leave this place, and I will not go back on my words."

"Empress is generous, but... If I am unable to bring you back to the Empress, even if I were to return to the Ying Tian, only death awaits me. "

"With Yan Tzu Cha's ability, there's no need to insist on returning to Ying Tian. Qi, Yanzhou, Tung Ling, which part of us can't settle down?"

Yan Zhong Shan coldly snorted, "The reason you're saying this is not because you want me to release them. It's fine, but you have to promise me one condition."

"Just say it." Mu Qian Xue didn't like the feeling of being held in someone's hands and having a condition be negotiated, but for the sake of her tribe's life, she could only endure it temporarily.

"It's simple, as long as... Empress can follow me back to Ying Tian. " Yan Zhong Shan knew, what Xiao Ruo Ao cared about, was always Mu Qian Xue alone. As long as he brought her back, not to mention thousands or even 10,000 people died, Xiao Ruo Ao would never blame him. He would still be the leader of the Artemisia annulata Lam.

In that car, when Dong Fang Su heard his request, he immediately bellowed: "That's impossible!"

Yan Zhong Shan did not even look at him and stared at Mu Qian Xue: "Using Empress's life to exchange for so many people's lives, is trading not a loss at all? Or could it be that Empress would rather see all of them fall head first than to save them?"

Dong Fang Su's face was solemn as he said: "Even if you kill them, don't think that you can live."

"I know, that's why Dora and the others have to carry it." Yan Zhong Shan did not place his threat in his eyes. After circling around the dozen or so old Nanzhao people, he grabbed Xiu Er who was kneeling at the very end and said coldly, "How about … "Let's start with this smallest one!"

Xiu Er had received quite a few whips from Shen Gang, and was hung up for a long time. Not all the water had dripped down, leaving only her weak breath, which could be said to be more akin to her sister Bai Ning who was lying on the side.

Being grabbed in the air by Yan Zhong Shan, she didn't even have the strength to struggle, only a few pleas that sounded as weak as a cat.

Bai Ning was so anxious that tears were flowing down his face. He ignored the steel blade on his neck and spoke anxiously: "Don't hurt my sister, I beg you, she doesn't know anything. If you want to kill me, I beg you, don't hurt Xiu Er!"

Yan Zhong Shan did not care about her words, he made a motion to smash the ground, and upon seeing that, he anxiously shouted: "Stop!"

She knew these two sisters, and they were the daughters of his elder cousin Dai Wang. Although they were not close siblings, they had a good relationship and when they got married, the Dai Wang's family had even specially rushed over from Southern Territory to send her off. She did not expect that this was the situation the next time they saw each other.

Yan Zhong Shan stopped what he was doing, "In that case, does this mean that Empress has agreed to return to Ying Tian?"
