Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Xiao Yan plans to send the ninth princess to Xiyong immediately. He wants to exchange his daughter's life for the throne." Xiao Zhan said.

They have the support of Marquis Zhenbei and the strength of the Lu family army, and can gather an army of about 100,000. On Xiao Yan's side, apart from the Nan family, there are no other strong troops.

Therefore, it is reasonable to ask Xiyong for help, but exchanging a daughter for military support is really despicable!

"The Emperor of Xiyong is tyrannical and unjust. If my ninth sister goes there, I'm afraid she will die."

Putting down the dice and the secret letter, Xiao Zhan fell into deep thought.

Just then, Xiao Yun hurried in, holding a letter and a sharp hidden weapon in his hand.

The content of this letter was exactly the same as the one in Xiao Zhan's hand.

"Fourth brother, give me a team. I want to set off immediately to rescue my ninth sister!" Xiao Yun slammed the letter on the table, full of anxiety.

Xiao Xianyu has been protected by her brothers since she was a child, and Xiao Yun would never let her fall into danger.

"Calm down, brother." Xiao Zhan pressed his brows, trying to calm his brother's emotions: "I know you care about Ninth Sister, but this matter is not that simple. You can't save her with just a rush."

"Are Su Ming and the others more powerful than us? Isn't it just because we have the Nan family's support?" Xiao Yun was very emotional and didn't want to experience the pain of losing his loved ones again.

"Your Highness Prince An, although we have the advantage in military strength, the other side has hostages and the poison master Qu Shang. Qu Shang's methods are far superior to mine. Rash actions will only cause us to suffer losses." Jiang Xue tried to persuade, but Xiao Yun would not listen.

"That's why we have to save people first, otherwise we will be passive everywhere. If you don't go, I will go by myself." After saying that, Xiao Yun left angrily, leaving Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue looking at each other helplessly.

At this time, Xiao Shen happened to pass by. Feeling the sound of the wind passing by him, he paused for a moment, then continued moving forward as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, outside the ruined temple, Su Ming's men also received news: The Eighth Prince was preparing to come alone to rescue people.

Su Ming sneered and glanced at the letter in his hand, thinking secretly in his heart: "Xiao Yun really can't keep his temper. It's just right. With one more hostage, I will be more confident in dealing with Xiao Zhan." He immediately ordered, "Pass the order down, treat His Royal Highness Prince An well, and don't let him suffer any injustice."

At this time, Xiao Yan approached with a gloomy face and called out in a low voice: "Su Ming."

Su Ming glanced sideways, then turned his attention back to the letter, "What does your majesty want?"

Su Ming had no respect at all. If it weren't for his sister's mistake that led to Xiao Li's loss of power, he would not have to pay any attention to this incompetent Xiao Yan.

"We agreed to exchange Anle for Xiyong's troops. When will we take action?" Ever since learning that Jiang Xue was going to transfer the Tieyun Army, Xiao Yan had been on pins and needles.

Once the Tieyun Army arrives, the consequences will be disastrous.

"It's useless to send the princess to Xiyong now. They won't send troops easily." Su Ming responded coldly.

"We have to try it no matter what. Without Xiyong's support, how can the Nan family's troops be enough?" Xiao Yan was very anxious.

Su Ming felt disdainful in his heart: Xiao Yan didn't even care about his own daughter, he was worse than a beast.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. After all, only the Nan family is willing to support us now. If they hear what I said..." Su Ming glanced at Nan Jingxing who was staring at Lu Linyi in the distance, patted the dust off his body, turned around and walked into the temple.

"Princess Anle, are you okay?" Lu Linyi noticed that the woman next to him had an abnormally high temperature and asked with concern.

Before she could get close, the guard next to her waved a whip to warn her, scaring Xiao Xianyu so much that she trembled all over, and Lu Linyi also froze.

"The princess has a fever, shouldn't you show some concern for her?" Lu Linyi tried to say, looking at Xiao Xianyu's cheeks which were red from the cold.

"Having a fever is no big deal. Just bear with it. No one has time to take care of you." The guard put away the whip and glared at them fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xianyu fell into a coma due to a high fever, and Lu Linyi screamed again.

"If you make any more noise, I will teach you a lesson." The guard raised the whip angrily, ready to teach Lu Linyi a lesson.

"What are you doing?" Nan Jingxing suddenly grabbed the man's wrist and kicked him in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, he had just dealt with Su Ming's matter quickly, otherwise Lin Yi might have been in trouble.

"Nan...General Nan..." Facing the angry Nan Jingxing, the guard's previous arrogance disappeared completely, and he knelt on the ground, bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Nan Jingxing, the Ninth Princess has a high fever. If you still have a conscience, find a doctor to see her right away."

Lu Linyi has complicated feelings towards Nan Jingxing. After all, the Nan family is now loyal to Xiao Yan.

This was the first time in many days that she took the initiative to talk to him.

"Qu Shang is the only one who knows medicine here." Nan Jingxing looked at the seriously ill Ninth Princess, and the situation was indeed very critical. But he really didn't trust the mysterious Qu Shang.

At this time, Qiu Qianhuan was attracted by the sound. He glanced at Xiao Xianyu who was lying on the ground and reached out to touch her forehead. He immediately understood the situation, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and prepared to feed it to the princess.

"Stop, what do you want to do to the Ninth Princess?" Lu Linyi shouted vigilantly. She had never seen this person before and her face was full of defensiveness.

"If you don't want the princess to suffer brain damage due to fever, it's best to let her take the medicine immediately." After saying that, Qiu Qianhuan put the pill into Xiao Xianyu's mouth.

When he stood up, he whispered to Nan Jingxing, "General, your current position is very delicate. It's time to make your choice. Hesitation will only make you lose more."

These words hit Nan Jingxing's heart like a hammer. He remained silent and did not look up until Qiu Qianhuan left.

Soon after, there was a commotion outside, "Prince An is here."

Xiao Yun led a large group of troops to rush to the ruined temple. Su Ming and General Nan led the Nan family army to fight, and the battle between the two sides was indisputable.

Inside the temple, Xiao Yan paced back and forth anxiously, occasionally looking at the Red Moon Cult believers who were sitting quietly beside him.

Since coming here, Qu Shang has disappeared.

The people of the Red Moon Cult claimed that their leader needed to retreat to recuperate, but several days passed and no sign of him was seen.

Only a few believers are left here to guard, which makes people feel uneasy.

“Who! Ah!”

Suddenly, a scream was heard outside, which frightened Xiao Yan so much that his whole body trembled. He immediately ordered the guards and members of the Red Moon Cult around him: "Go and check the situation!"

The believers glanced at the guards, and an invisible pressure made them dare not neglect it, so they rushed out first. But they never came back, and what followed was a cold wind mixed with a faint smell of blood.

Realizing that something was wrong, the remaining believers took up arms and prepared to fight.

Just then, a cold wind blew from behind.

Looking back, they saw a huge python spitting out red tongue and staring at them with its mouth wide open.
