"What's more," An Ning's gaze swept across the crowd and continued, "Since An Qing dares to set up this trap, he will set up a dragnet in the capital. If you go, you will also die."
Everyone was silent.
This is a conspiracy.
A naked conspiracy that forced Ye Cheng to die.
Everyone knew it was a trap, but Feng Suling's life was truly in An Qing's hands.
Who is Feng Suling? She was Shushan's most trusted disciple. She was one of the few people who was willing not to be hostile to Ye Cheng but to speak for Ye Cheng during the martial arts competition.
She is the one who likes Zhou An even more.
Yecheng cannot sit idly by and ignore both public and private matters.
But now in Yecheng...
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts sank.
If their general's cultivation level is still good, he can go to the Dragon's Pond and Tiger's Den, not to mention the Broken Soul Valley, and he can escape unscathed.
But now...
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Zhao Si asked anxiously, "We can't really let the general go, right?"
An Ning did not answer immediately.
She walked to the map and her eyes fell on the location of the Valley of Broken Souls.
She lightly traced her fingers across the map, thinking of countermeasures in her mind.
Give up Fengsu Ling? That certainly won't work.
This will not only bring the reputation of Brother Yecheng for not saving his life, but also chill the hearts of all his followers.
Let Brother Yecheng go? Even worse. That is to let him die.
The only way is not to go, but. This person must have enough weight to make An Qing believe that he represents Ye Cheng.
At the same time, you must have enough ability to escape from that dragnet.
But who can go?
An Ning's gaze swept across the faces of every general in the tent.
Zhao Si? Wang Wu? Zhang Ji? Their loyalty is commendable, but their strength and resourcefulness are not enough to deal with such a dangerous situation.
Lu Chen? Zhou Shen? They are extraordinarily brave, but they have just surrendered, and their strength is just that. Let them go, and they will also die.
Just when An Ning was feeling anxious, a voice came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, maybe, I can go."
Everyone heard the news and went out, only to see a woman wearing a long blue skirt walking in.
That person is An Xin.
"Second Queen Sister?" An Ning was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
An Xin nodded slightly to An Ning as a salute. Then, her eyes fell directly on the letter on the table.
"I heard that my brother-in-law has lost all his cultivation, so I set out from Jiangzhou to come here."
h Then, she looked at An Ning and said slowly, "My brother-in-law is inconvenient now. So, I will go on this trip."
An Ning frowned, "Sister Huang, I admit that you are very strong, but the Broken Soul Valley is a trap carefully laid by An Qing. There are countless masters in it. It is too dangerous for you to go alone."
Danger?" An Xin's lips curled up with a cold smile, "How long have I not been in danger in my life?"
"Since the day I was plotted by An Qing fifteen years ago, I have been walking on thin ice. What's more... those losers under An Qing are no match for me. "
"And, more importantly, I know better than any of you that Ye Cheng cannot fall.
If he falls, all of us will have to play. That lunatic An Qing will not let any of us go."
"So, protecting Ye Cheng means protecting myself."
What An Xin said makes sense.
In terms of strength, An Xin is the Demon King, and her cultivation is unfathomable. Except for Ye Cheng, no one is her opponent.
In terms of resourcefulness, she can lead the snake tribe to survive and thrive in the cracks, and her scheming methods are naturally extraordinary.
In terms of identity, she is the Green Snake King and an important ally of Ye City. She will go there on behalf of Ye City, which is of sufficient importance.
She is indeed the most suitable candidate at the moment.
"Sister Huang, how sure are you?" An Ning asked in a deep voice.
"Saving people, 50%." An Xin said calmly, "Retreating intact, 100%."
"An Qing's target is Ye Cheng, not me. As long as I don't die in Broken Soul Valley, her plan will not be successful. If I can rescue Feng Suling, she will lose her wife and her army."
An Ning looked at An Xin's confident eyes, and the balance in her heart began to tilt.
「Okay.」
In the end, An Ning made a decision.
"Sister Huang, I'll leave it to you this time."
She bowed solemnly to An Xin.
"But, you can't go alone."
An Ning raised her head and glanced at Lu Chen and Zhou Shen, "Lu Chen, Zhou Shen, you two, go to Hanyang and ask the Peacock King Kong Xuan to come here."
"Yes!"
An Ning looked at Zhang Ji again, "Zhang Ji, you immediately send an order to our informants in the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, asking them to find out the troop deployment in Broken Soul Valley at all costs. Then, send the news back."
An Xin looked at An Ning, with a hint of imperceptible approval flashing in his eyes.
Perhaps, betting the future on this sister is also an option.
"Then, when Kong Xuan comes, I will set off?" An Xin asked.
An Ning nodded, "Exactly, the two of you work together, those monks are definitely no match for you."
At the same time, the Valley of Broken Souls.
This valley is extremely steep.
This is the only way to the capital of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the most dangerous place in the north of the capital of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, murderous intent is everywhere here.
The cliff is densely covered with monks from the Pseudo Zhou Dynasty.
They were all dressed in black, holding magic weapons and crossbows, waiting for Ye Cheng's arrival.
The leaders were five old men with powerful auras.
They are the sect leaders of the five famous sects. Ye Cheng killed countless of their disciples. Today they are here just to kill Ye Cheng and avenge those disciples!
As for why five people appeared here together? That was even simpler, because they were really fooled by Ye Cheng and thought that Ye Cheng's cultivation level was still there. After all, there is strength in numbers.
In the middle of the passage at the bottom of the valley, a woman in red is tied to a tall wooden cross.
The woman's long hair was messy, her mouth was stained with blood, and her face was pale.
But in those bright eyes, there was no fear at all, only burning anger.
This person is none other than Feng Suling.
She spat at the mountain wall and cursed loudly, "You villains! If you have the ability to come at me, how can you be a hero by using such despicable means to deal with General Ye!"
On the mountain wall, an elder from Penglai Pavilion sneered.
"Feng Suling, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die.
It is the greatest honor of your life to be able to use your life to replace Ye Cheng, a serious problem in your heart!"
"Bah! You, a bunch of hidden rats, want to kill Ye Cheng? What a dream!"
Feng Suling cursed without fear, "He can crush you all to death with just one finger!"
On the cliff, the elder was silent. Because he knew that what Feng Suling said was true.
A ray of light can kill tens of thousands of monks. What a terrifying power that is!
That is why they want to kidnap hostages.
After all, if they couldn't defeat Yecheng, how could they not defeat a third-generation disciple of Shushan?
Hence the scene of kidnapping Feng Suling. They wanted to make Ye Cheng surrender and have no choice but to die!
