She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 157: Take Your Blood to Consecrate the Flag, Comforting the Departed Souls

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Take Your Blood to Consecrate the Flag, Comforting the Departed Souls

Xiang Qianqian saw the look in Xiang Ying’s eyes and panicked.

"Elder Sister, save me!" She knelt on the ground, "Uncle Wang has rebelled, he wants the Jade Seal on you, and he’s threatened to kill us all if we don’t hand it over!"

Xiang Ying gave her a cold glance, then shifted her gaze to Prince Xuan’s face.

"Are you the son of Empress Dowager Shangguan?"

Prince Xuan frowned, "High treason! My mother is your Imperial Grandmother, how dare you show disrespect?"

Xiang Ying sneered, "A mere concubine, a mere illegitimate child, what right do you have to yell at this palace?"

She discarded the broken bow and arrow in her hand and drew a soft sword from her sleeve instead.

"Prince Xuan, I’ve finally drawn you out. Your mother killed my friend, and I will avenge him with your blood!"

Prince Xuan never expected that exile could make this depraved Elder Princess ever more arrogant.

Even the murderous intent flashing in her eyes was unprecedented.

Prince Xuan, with cold eyebrows, commanded, "Kill her for me!"

The soldiers dared not move, watching helplessly as Xiang Ying rapidly approached!

The deep imprints of the imperial hierarchy were still ingrained in their subconsciousness.

This was the First Elder Princess... To kill her, wouldn’t it be the same as regicide?

Anxious, Prince Xuan roared with reddened eyes and bulging veins in his neck, "Whoever captures Xiang Ying’s head, I will grant him the rank General of Army!"

In an instant, the soldiers swarmed into action.

Xiang Ying’s sword was deflected just as it was about to strike Prince Xuan by someone else’s blade.

She fought against ten, and the number of enemies continued to grow.

Seeing Xiang Ying’s effortless martial skill, Prince Xuan’s face darkened, "I knew it, how could my imperial brother bestow the Jade Seal to a mediocre and debauched princess like Xiang Ying!"

"Turns out, her past behavior was all to conceal her talent. No one would have guessed that Xiang Ying could possess such fierce combat skills."

He picked up a spear, stepped forward, ready to kill Xiang Ying himself to boost morale!

Xiang Qianqian was rolling and crawling on the ground, terrified, she hid behind the house next door.

Xiang Ying’s moves were deadly, each strike aimed to draw blood!

Her techniques were martial arts, skills designed for killing.

With sharp weapons in hand, dealing with these people wasn’t difficult at all.

However, she was battling a high fever of thirty-nine degrees Celsius and the surge of her menstruation, clearly feeling her movements were much slower than usual.

At this time.

Jie Chen, too, was surrounded.

Suddenly! Xiang Li appeared nearby, rebuking, "Deputy General, fall back!"

Jie Chen immediately led the troops to retreat step by step, and at almost the same time, from both sides of the forest, water bandits pulled up a thick hemp rope!

Prince Xuan’s cavalry stumbled by accident, crashing down from their horses.

This bought Jie Chen valuable time to extricate himself from the encirclement.

However, in the shadows nearby, Prince Xuan’s hidden troops fired whistling cold arrows.

Xiang Li saw everything and commanded calmly, "With me as the center, three bowmen at three miles to the east, and four to the west!"

No sooner had he spoken than water bandits, wielding knives, charged forward.

A cold arrow shot towards Xiang Li; Lin Lingxiang, standing by his side, rushed over to embrace him.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Xiang Li steadied her head with a large hand, and both slightly tilted their heads; he grabbed the sharp arrow in his grasp.

Xiang Li lifted his eyes, the usually gentle gaze now spilled with beast-like murderous intent.

"Two men at six miles to the west, kill them."

Lin Lingxiang trembled slightly in his embrace, looking up, she asked, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Xiang Li replied with a hum, still finding the strength to softly reassure her.

"I am fine. If you’re scared, go to your grandfather first."

"No, I promised the Elder Princess, no matter what happens, I must protect Your Highness."

She was so frightened yet did not leave, her fingers trembling as she clutched at Xiang Li’s clothes.

Xiang Li’s gaze deepened, pulling Lin Lingxiang behind him.

"If you’re scared, close your eyes. Don’t be afraid, I am here."

He needed to quickly help Jie Chen break out of encirclement so that he could rescue Xiang Ying.

At this moment, in Tao Xue’s house, quite a few of Prince Xuan’s men had broken in.

Tao Xue was protecting the Seventh Princess and Yu Pin, cornered.

Qi Fengyi, holding an axe, fought fiercely in front.

Unexpectedly, soldiers directly jumped in through the window, aiming to attack them!

Xiang Yuanshuo protected in front, clearly about to get hurt.

Xiang Xiuxiu directly pushed Tao Xue’s hand away.

"Don’t you dare harm my brother!"

Her small hand gripped the window frame, and she pulled it right off before ferociously striking it down on the head of the incoming soldiers.

Just as it was too late to speak, Xiang Xiuxiu quickly caught something else, a heavy iron pot that she lifted single-handedly.

Bang, bang, bang, she struck the soldiers on their heads.

It was as if she was playing whack-a-mole.

Little Xiang Xiuxiu’s voice was fierce and vicious: "You bad things, I’m going to knock you all dead!"

Tao Xue and the others were stunned.

Xiang Yuanshuo took pride in her: "I did say, do not mess with my little sister."

All of a sudden, the Seventh Princess’s voice trembled: "Where’s Yuan Lang? Why don’t I see Yuan Lang?"

Everyone immediately realized something was wrong.

Just when the situation turned chaotic, Xiang Yuanlang had disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, on Xiang Ying’s side, Prince Xuan was at a disadvantage under her hands; she had inflicted multiple wounds on him, causing blood to stream continuously.

However, Xiang Ying, not being as agile, had her Soft Sword taken away from her hand.

In effect, she confronted around thirty people barehanded.

Xiang Ying’s steps became heavy, and her head felt dizzy.

Seeing that she was exhausted, Prince Xuan, panting heavily, had his men surround her with a menacing look.

"Xiang Ying, do you know how your mother died?"

"It was your father who gave her the choice: to die and preserve her honor or to send you to Nanyue soldiers to appease their anger."

"Without hesitation, your mother took the white silk and hanged herself right away; we watched her breath her last before leaving the Imperial City."

"Your father never loved you, nor your mother. He left you the Jade Seal merely to lure Nanyue soldiers to defile you."

"Uncle Wang is someone who values talent, and since we share blood, why not hand over the Jade Seal? Uncle Wang will surely grant you a merciful end!"

Xiang Ying laughed.

Amidst the wind and snow, she laughed scornfully, her black hair fluttering near her rosy lips.

"Prince Xuan, do you know how your mother died? She was burned alive, and I personally set the fire." She returned the taunt.

Yet, compared to Xiang Ying’s composure, Prince Xuan revealed an agonizingly infuriated face.

Xiang Ying emphasized each word: "I said, today I will surely kill you, to offer a blood sacrifice."

"The life owed to Tu Kang by Empress Dowager Shangguan is the first, and Liu Taipin is the second. Since she had no children, I’ll claim her life’s debt."

She lifted her head slightly, her Phoenix Eyes revealing a chilling killing intent: "Your time is up today."

All of Prince Xuan’s facial muscles trembled with grinding teeth: "Tear her to pieces!"

Lu Feiyi rode up from a distance: "Xiang Ying! Be careful behind you!"

Xiang Ying dodged instinctively, as a crossbow bolt flew past her back.

Before she could get up, Prince Xuan had already ordered: "Catch her!"

The cavalry tossed their reins and lassoed Xiang Ying’s neck.

She fell to the snowy ground instantly, being dragged by the horse!

Prince Xuan’s eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty intent to kill: "Shoot her! Kill this madwoman!"

Among the flying snow dust, dozens of arrows fell quickly.

However, a chilling figure suddenly leaped up!

Xiang Ying’s black hair tousled, unexpectedly cutting off the rope around her neck at some point.

She moved gracefully, lunging straight toward Prince Xuan.

Perhaps Prince Xuan didn’t expect her to break free so effortlessly, and for a moment, he was stunned.

The dagger in Xiang Ying’s hand fell with her, slicing from Prince Xuan’s forehead down to his abdomen.

His body looked as if it was being split in two, bursting open a spray of blood.

Prince Xuan still had his eyes open but had already fallen stiff.

The soldiers were thrown into disarray!

Suddenly! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Xiang Ying fell uncontrollably, plummeting downwards rapidly.

She turned her head with difficulty and saw that she had stepped into a rope loop unnoticed, binding her ankle!

The soldier on the horse had already collapsed on the ground due to fear.

But the startled horse kept galloping forward relentlessly.

Ahead was a sheer cliff.

Xiang Ying was dragged along downwards, unable to stop!

Supervisor Ke reached out to grab her, but he only caught a piece of her torn sleeve!

"Xiang Ying!" Supervisor Ke’s hoarse and raspy voice cried out with sorrow.

Suddenly!

A dark shadow soared over him, like an arc of salvation.

It was Jie Chen, riding a horse, chasing after her.
