Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 726 Losing his wife and losing his troops

Zhong Tao sneered when he heard this, "What a joke, you asked me to let him go, do you think I'm stupid?"

If he lets this young man go, it’s no wonder that the little girl would let him go!

It’s all my fault for underestimating the enemy, otherwise I wouldn’t have ended up in the situation where I was surrounded on all sides.

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "If you let him go, we promise to let you go!"

Zhong Tao snorted, "Why should I trust you?"

 Just listen to Lu Yuan say without thinking: "I'll take his place!"

 “Young master, no!”

As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Bei Ming, Zhao Bin and others all changed their expressions.

Mu Qing's originally calm face turned pale because of Lu Yuan's words.

He wanted to shake his head, but his neck was tightened by Zhong Tao and he couldn't move at all.

“Sect Master, your subordinate has already suffered a serious injury due to negligence of duty. This time, please don’t make your subordinate feel guilty again!”

 Obviously, their worries are unnecessary.

For Zhong Tao, holding Mu Qing hostage is much better than holding Lu Yuan hostage. Lu Yuan is highly skilled in martial arts. If he loses consciousness for a moment, he may be attacked by him and counterattack. He will not be stupid enough to hold Lu Yuan hostage.

"You know how powerful the Sky-Breaking Sword is, right? If you don't open the barrier, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhong Tao’s threatening voice echoed around.

 Gu Panxia gritted her teeth secretly and was about to speak when she heard the city guard elder on the side say in a deep voice: "Zhong Tao, let him go. I swear on the honor of the city guard family that I will let you go!"

 “The reputation of the Shoucheng family?” Zhong Tao’s mouth was stained with a hint of disdain.

 “What reputation can the Shoucheng family have?”

 “You...are simply unreasonable!” the city guard elder was furious.

The Shoucheng family is the most respected family in Qingxuan Continent besides the king. Zhong Tao dares to say that the Shoucheng family has no credibility at all. He is so angry!

“Zhong Tao, I will give you two choices today. Either believe what I say and let the young man go, or you can stay and be buried with him.”

Zhong Tao's face changed after hearing this. He has not yet avenged his revenge, and he doesn't want to die yet!

He weighed it for a moment, and finally compromised: "Let the little girl remove the barrier first, and then I'll let him go!"

As if afraid that some people would not believe it, he added: "With so many of you here, are you afraid that I will escape?"

Gu Panxia thought for a moment, and finally removed the barrier with a wave of his hand.

As soon as Zhong Tao saw that the barrier had been removed, he moved the Sky-Breaking Sword away.

Gu Panxia's eyes turned cold, and a small stone in his hand hit Zhong Tao's hand at lightning speed.

Zhong Tao felt a pain in the back of his hand. He let go of his hand reflexively, and the Sky-Breaking Sword suddenly fell to the ground. His expression changed, and he didn't even bother to pick up the Sky-Breaking Sword again, so he pushed Mu Qing away. When he got out, he flashed his body and disappeared instantly.

Zhao Bin who was on the side quickly held Mu Qing who was falling towards him, and then let go.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yuan stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Mu Qing shook her head, "I'm fine!"

He reached out and touched the neck where there was a purple mark, and a slight sting came from his neck, but his face remained expressionless, as if he felt nothing.

 “Put some of this on!” Jiyue threw a bottle of medicine.

Mu Qing reached out to catch it, opened the cork, poured out the ointment and applied it to the stinging area.

Zhao Bin took the ointment from his hand, applied it to him, and then threw the medicine bottle back into his hand.

Jiyue took out the ointment that Gu Panxia originally gave him. It was very effective and he could be cured after applying it twice.

 “Thank you!”

Mu Qing handed the remaining ointment back to Jiyue and said thank you.

At this time, Murong Hua and others who had been waiting outside for a long time were overjoyed when they saw that the barrier was gone. Just as they were about to rush in, they saw a blue shadow passing over the Phantom City.

 “Is that the master?”

Someone with keen eyes noticed the blue shadow passing through the sky and then quickly leaving.

Murong Hua had a bad premonition. Before he could understand what was going on, he heard Zhong Tao's cold voice coming from a distance.

 “Leave quickly!”

Zhong Tao only left these few words and said no more.

 When the other Yamas heard this, they knew something had happened and turned around to escape.

However, before they could fly out of the lake, they saw three figures flying out from the Phantom City and blocking their way.

Murong Hua's face suddenly turned pale when he saw the two of them parked in the sky.

Lu Yuan and Gu Panxia are not dead yet. How is this possible? !

They are not dead, then the next person to die is not you...

The more Murong Hua thought about it, the more frightened he became. He lowered his head and tried his best to hide himself in the black robe.

As soon as Yan Mo's people saw someone coming, they all hid themselves, thinking they could avoid the three of them.

 It’s a pity that they still haven’t escaped.

Before Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan could take action, the city guard elders had already placed a barrier in front of them, making it difficult for them to fly even if they had wings.

Murong Bai and Zhong Tao were watching this scene from a distance. One was thankful that he had escaped in time, and the other was secretly angry that the assistant he had finally trained was about to be lost.

As soon as Yan Mo's people flew to the lake, they were bounced back by an invisible force. No matter how many times they tried, they still couldn't get out.

Murong Hua in the crowd was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, wishing to smash the invisible barrier into pieces.

He finally understood why Murong Bai left temporarily. He probably had expected such a result.

 What a Murong Bai, who guessed such an ending and didn’t even tell himself!

Murong Hua was so angry that he kicked the invisible barrier several times before falling to the ground unwillingly.

“Even the master has escaped, how can we escape?” someone asked desperately.

Even though they joined Yama, they were proud of being able to become invisible, but at this moment, they discovered that being invisible was of no use at all!

 In the final analysis, martial arts must be learned through real talent.

“Hey, aren’t you the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty? You should have read a lot of books. Tell me, how do we get out?”

Yan Mo's people already had objections to Murong Hua. Now that their master had abandoned them and fled, they naturally had no choice but to vent their anger on Murong Hua.

Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan stood outside the barrier and watched what was happening inside, and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows at the same time.

They didn't expect that at this time, the Yama would actually start a fight.

 Because Murong Hua also wore the same black robe as other Yan Demons, the two of them could not recognize him for a while.

Within the barrier, two factions were quickly formed. One faction only had one person, and the rest formed their own faction.

 “What do you mean?”

 Seeing that everyone was against him, Murong Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What do you mean?" someone sneered, "You are going to die anyway, so you can go to **** first!"

One Yama waved his hand, and immediately everyone else was gearing up and eager to try.

Murong Hua's originally pale face became even paler, almost pale.

 Gu Panxia observed the situation inside and suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Wait a minute!"

She suddenly spoke up and said to Lu Yuan: "Do you feel that that person is a bit familiar?"

When Lu Yuan heard what she said, he also focused all his attention on that person.

After a long time, the corners of his lips suddenly raised and he whispered: "It's him!"

 “He?” Gu Panxia was slightly startled, “Who is he?”

She had only seen Murong Hua once, so when she saw the figure, she felt a little familiar, but she couldn't guess who it was.

Lu Yuan whispered: "He is Murong Hua."

 Gu Panxia nodded suddenly, "Oh! So it's him!" No wonder he felt familiar.

Lu Yuan held his chin with one hand and frowned: "Weird!"

 “What’s weird?” Gu Panxia looked at him puzzled.

“It stands to reason that if Murong Hua is here, Murong Bai should also be here. Why don’t you see him?”

The Yan Demons who were trapped by the barrier had already appeared, so Lu Yuan could also see them.

 He looked around at those people, but did not find Murong Bai's figure, and he couldn't help but frown.

“Murong Bai is a cunning and insidious man. Thinking about it, he should have escaped by now!”

Although he had only met Murong Bai two or three times, Gu Panxia already knew a little bit about his character.

Compared to the insidious and cunning Murong Bai, Murong Hua can only be called a minor player at best.

After all, he is still a child. He is too anxious and only thinks about revenge in his eyes and heart. He will not think about anything else at all.

Gu Panxia secretly shook his head. After all, Murong Hua's temperament was somewhat similar to that of King Annan. They both had an abnormal obsession with the throne.

 Lu Yuan watched coldly as Yan Mo's people approached Murong Hua step by step. He opened his thin lips and said in a calm voice: "It seems that he is not very happy with Yan Mo either."

Gu Panxia pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes were constantly observing what was happening in the barrier.

"What do you want to do? Don't forget what the master said!"

Murong Hua saw a group of people approaching him and stepped back unconsciously.

But I already hated Murong Bai in my heart. I hated that he had clearly guessed the result but escaped alone without reminding me.

“The master has abandoned us and fled, and now we are trapped again. Do you think we still listen to the master?”

The master told them not to attack Murong Hua and Murong Bai, but what is the situation now?

They do not think that the person who trapped them will be kind enough to let them go, nor do they think that the master who has escaped will return to rescue them.

What a joke, even the master is afraid of people, what do they mean in the eyes of others?

It is also a pleasure to be able to kill annoying people before dying!

Thinking of this, a group of people were gearing up and couldn't wait to punch Murong Hua in the body.

"You, you... don't come over here! If you come over again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Murong Hua didn't feel afraid until now. When he was in the capital, King Annan loved and trusted him very much because he valued him.

 So, many martial arts masters were hired to teach him martial arts.

Although those people are not as good as Lu Yuan's master, the Imperial Master, and the Prince's master, the General of the State, they are not far behind.

 So, under normal circumstances, there is almost no problem in dealing with ten or twenty such Yamas, but now...

There are thousands of people at home. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't defeat thousands of people!

The more he thought about it, the more Murong Hua's legs began to shake unconsciously.

 He is only fifteen years old and he doesn’t want to die yet!

"Aren't you going to take him back and interrogate him? What, you want him to die at the hands of Yama?"

Gu Panxia raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Yuan beside her, and asked with a half-smile.

Lu Yuan raised his thin lips and said in a leisurely voice: "Why not?"

 It would be better to die and avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.

Gu Panxia chuckled and couldn't help but joke in a low voice: "What should I say, you have to call him uncle, and you can't bear to watch him be beaten to death like this?"

Logically speaking, Princess Wanlian would call Prince Annan uncle, and Murong Hua would call Princess Wanlian sister. According to seniority, Lu Yuan would indeed call Murong Hua uncle.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched almost inaudibly.

He was asked to call a boy who was only fifteen years old uncle, but he couldn't do it no matter what. What's more, this "uncle" wanted him to die!

“He is willing to let me, my nephew, die, so why can’t I watch him die?”

 He is not a kind person, and he can still call his enemies uncle.

He can even be cruel to his own grandmother, let alone an outsider?

Thinking of Mrs. Lu, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.

　　Seeing Murong Hua being instantly overwhelmed by the crowd, the two of them just looked at it indifferently.

Across the barrier, Gu Panxia could hear Murong Hua's shrill screams.

In just a moment, when the crowd retreated, Murong Hua fell to the ground dying.

His black robe was torn into pieces, and blood kept coming out from his body. It could be seen that he had more air coming out and less air coming in.

 Gu Panxia frowned slightly. Even though Murong Hua himself had done many evil things, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the horrific scene.

She muttered: "I'm afraid it won't work!"

Lu Yuan looked at him coldly and did not answer. It could be seen that he was in a complicated mood.

He turned his head to Gu Panxia and whispered: "Leave the rest to the elders of the city guard. Let's go back to Dazhou first!"

Gu Panxia nodded. After all, his family was still in Dazhou, Zhong Tao had escaped again, and Murong Bai had not been arrested. They did not dare to stay any longer for fear of something unexpected happening.

After making it clear to the city guard elder, a group of people left Phantom City without looking back.

Seeing Gu Panxia and others coming out, Zhong Tao and Murong Bai, who were hiding in the dark, did not dare to stay any longer and fled far away.

Zhong Tao only felt that if he kept the green hills, he would not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as he still had his life, he would have to get it back from these people sooner or later.

He lowered his head and looked at his empty hands, gritting his teeth secretly.

This time I rashly entered the Phantom City without knowing it clearly. Not only did I lose the Red Protector, I also lost the Sky-Breaking Sword. I also lost all the subordinates I had cultivated over the years. It can be said that I got a wife but lost the army.

Looking at the departing figures of Gu Panxia and others, and then at the Phantom City once again shrouded in a barrier, Zhong Tao's face almost turned green.

"Hmph! Just wait for me. One day, I will make you pay ten times and a hundred times for what you have done today!"

He stared at the direction Gu Panxia and others were leaving with evil eyes, and said coldly.
