Chapter 38 . 2: Coming Out to Quell the Upheaval

Huangfu Che got up and walked over to come beside Duanmu Xue .

Duanmu Xue nodded . “Alright . ”

The two of them then went up to the South City Gates with the Phoenix Guards .

— At the bottom of the South City Gates —

Upon seeing the two of them appear, Duanmu Shuang’s eyes flashed with an excited glint .

“Duanmu Xue, the turtle has finally come out from hiding in its sh.e.l.l . This Duke had thought that you would be hiding in your man’s arms for the rest of your life . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Duanmu Shuang’s arrogant words cause Duamu Xue and Huangfu Che to immediately knit their brows .

“What audacity Duke Jing! You dare speak such blasphemous words… . . ” Red Maple immediately stepped forward to point at Duke Jing with a shout .

Duanmu Shuang’s eyes glinted coldly, and an arrow straight towards Red Maple .

Phoenix Second immediately moved up front to block the sharp arrow . Red Maple staggered back several steps before she was able to catch herself .

“Hahaha… . . Today will be the day that you die, Duanmu Xue . Be so good as to hand over the throne and have Huangfu Che come warm this Duke’s bed for me . Maybe this Duke will consider letting you die with your body in one piece . ”

Once those words came out, Huangfu Che’s face turned cold as winter’s frost and Duanmu Xue was so enraged green veins bulged on her forehead .

[This d.a.m.ned woman . How dare she even think of wanting to defile her Che at all . She deserves more than a thousand deaths just for that . ]

Two bolts of green light then shot towards Duanmu Shuang simultaneously .

In a moment of terror, she immediately stepped back to dodge, the green light bolts striking right into the red horse under her .

The horse fell to the ground, dead, and Duanmu Shuang crashed straight to the ground .

Duanmu Shuang climbed wretchedly to her feet, and shot Duanmu Xue a baleful glare, before her gaze then halted upon the figure of Huangfu Che .

“Huangu Che, count your blessings that this Duke thinks you’re worthy enough, and do not fail to see what’s for your own good . What is so great about Duanmu Xue anyway? Come under my wing and this Duke will make you the Phoenix Empress as well . ”

Phoenix Empress?

Huangfu Che laughed scornfully: “You? I think you’re not clean enough to even clean off my shoes . ”

[Even if he was to remain the Phoenix Empress, he would only be the Phoenix Empress of just one person and no other . ]

“You… . . ”

Duanmu Shuang was so angry she could not even speak as she pointed a quivering finger at Huangfu Che .

“Commence the siege . ”

[Since he is too blind to see what is good for him, then he cannot blame her for being heartless . ]

— Outside the Imperial Capital —

Xuanyuan Mo had led three thousand elite troops, trundling through sleepless days and nights, and had finally arrived at the Vermillion Bird .

“Your Highness, the Vermillion seems to be in trouble . The entire Capital City is surrounded by an army . ”

Li Shang came over in a hurry to report to Xuanyuan Mo .

Xuanyuan Mo knitted up his brows . “How many men do they have?”

Li Shang took a moment to recall the information his subordinate had brought in earlier before he said: “About a hundred thousand . ”

Xuanyuan Mo’s brows tightened further .

[To think that there would be so many . Really do not know how the two seniors are doing… . . If anything were to happen to them, Little Xi would surely be devastated . ]

“Find a spot where they have a smaller number of people and we’ll attack them tonight . ”

“Yes, Your Highness . ”
