Chapter 569
The Gift from North Qing
Hong Fang was irritated by Ye Huangyu and Nie Fengxing’s intimacy . He looked grim .
How ironic! He and Ye were once this close . But now she was accompanied by some other man .
“Ignorant fool . If so, I will myself send you to meet your short lived daughter in the underworld!” Hong Fang’s eyes flashed with cruelty . Behind him, An Guohou and his people surrounded them .
Hong Fang’s side had more high level warriors than Xia Houqi’s . Plus, there were people not good at fighting, like Empress Dowager and Empress Liu, on Xia Houqi’s side . The situation was unfavorable to the Crown Prince .
“Master Hong, are you really going to kill them all?” At this moment, Feng Shen walked to the front .
Hong Fang looked somewhat loosened up seeing Feng Shen .
He could kill anyone, but not Feng Shen .
Even if he did seize the throne, the Hong family did not dare contradicting the North Qing .
“Lord Feng, this is the state affair of Da Xia . You are the honorable guest from North Qing . Perhaps it’s better you do not interfere . ” Hong Fang knew that there was nothing keen between Lord Feng and the Crown Prince Xia Houqi . They had quite a strife over Ye Lingyue .
“Master Hong, Lingyue’s mother is among the people you want to kill,” said Feng Shen with a calm voice .
Hong Fang was struck dumb for a few seconds . He heard the warning intention in Feng Shen’s words . It seemed that Feng Shen wanted to save Ye Huangyu’s life .
No wonder . Feng Shen cherished Ye Lingyue . Although she had passed, it was understandable that he wanted to keep her mother alive .
Hong Fang was willing to spare only Ye Huangyu, for he secretly wanted her alive as well .
He could always have the woman he wanted, just with some maneuvers .
“I can spare Ye Huangyu, now that you honorable have asked . ” Hong Fang readily agreed .
“Now besides Ye Huangyu, wouldn’t you let go of Lingyue’s step parents, families and friends as well?” Feng Shen sounded very calm . It was unable to tell his intentions .
Hong Fang’s lips trembled . His heart sank .
This Feng Shen was not an easygoing people as his appearance suggested . According to what he said, he should release everyone on the drill ground!
“Lord Feng, you are, after all, too young . Sometimes, when dealing with situations as these, you need to learn to compromise . I saved you face for the sake of the North Qing Emperor . Now if you fail to appreciate that, then excuse me for my offense!” said Hong Fang decisively . He waved his hand and was about to order An Guohou and his people to stop Feng Shen .
“How dare you! I’ll see who have the guts to hurt my master!” Dao Nu shouted in anger and stood before Feng Shen .

“Dao Nu, back-off . ” A light smile was lingering on Feng Shen’s face . But coldness filled his pair of pretty eyes .
He strode towards Hong Fang .
“Master Hong, before you take a move, I suggest you first look back . ” No sooner than Feng Shen had said these words when Hong Fang heard a string of thunderous sound from behind .
A robust-looking North Qing soldier, Conglv, leading several guards from North Qing, charged into the drill ground .
Along with them were eight long cannons, each the height of a person, whose dark and devouring muzzle stared in the face of Hong Fang and his people .
Beads of sweats broke out on Hong Fang and his people’s foreheads when they saw the cannons .
The military Nieyuan Cannons of the North Qing!
Even Hong Shisan felt his eyelids abruptly jumped when he saw the cannons . He stared back with disbelief .
Even from a distance, Hong Fang could feel the chilly murderous aura of those cannons .
The military Nieyuan Cannons ordered by the army of North Qing was each loaded with ten shells . Legends had it that the North Qing Emperor had the Dan Palace smelt them .
The military Nieyuan Cannons were unbelievably powerful . They had the capacity to blow up a city in a blink of an eye . These warriors of the Reincarnation Realm and Dan Realm present here were nothing before them .

Compared to these monsters, the Nieyuan Cannon that Hong Shisan had used earlier was only a portable type, not as powerful as these military ones, but lighter and more convenient to carry around .
Hong Fang’s face turned pale involuntarily . He finally understood why Feng Shen had been so calm and assured: he had an ace in his hand right from the start!
Eight Nieyuan Cannons he had in hands . That was enough to blast him and those aristocrats and marquises into bits and pieces!
“Hong Fang, I have joined in a coalition with the North Qing . That eight Nieyuan Cannons is a gift from the North Qing Emperor to Da Xia . I would love to find out which one of you are superior: the flesh and blood bodies of your army, or the cannons,” said Xia Houqi with an unrelenting tone, enjoying the dismay on the face of Hong Fang and his people .
A murderous look flashed across his face .
Ye Lingyue’s tragic death had finally grown him, the sixth prince of Da Xia, whom, since his birth, life had greeted with waves more than his share .
Since his beloved had forever left him, it did not matter anymore with whom he shall own the world together .
Xia Houqi had decided to leave his loving heart behind and safeguard the rickety reign of Da Xia in his own way .
Feng Shen stood beside him without expressions . His eyes, however, flickered with cunning .
No one knew better than him where the eight Nieyuan Cannons came from .
The so-called coalition was, in fact, an exchange . Xia Houqi had, after a long struggle, finally agreed to marry Princess Qingbi of the North Qing as a gesture of cooperation .

Otherwise, how on earth could the North Qing Emperor be so kind as to send them eight military Nieyuan Cannons?
This kind of cannon required a long and tricky manufacturing process of at least a year .
Even in the North Qing, it was considered a precious military resource, something even Chen Qiao, the lord of Kaijiang, could not mobilize so many at a time . That eight of them could be transported unnoticeably to Da Xia in such a short period of time was only a privilege of Xia Houqi’s, the North Qing Emperor’s son-in-law-to-be .
Hong family’s coup was a rare opportunity for Feng Shen .
He could use it to not only revenge Ye Lingyue for her family feuds, but also knock this rival in love of his off the game: killing two birds with one stone .
Of course, he would never tell anyone the truth in his living years .
Hong Shisan looked at Xia Houqi and Feng Shen, whose expressions hugely differed, and felt weird .
“Xia Houqi, cannons are cold and ruthless things . Nieyuan Cannon can destroy the Xia palace . ”
Despite Hong Fang’s attempts to keep cool, the look on the aristocrats and soldiers’ face gave him out . An Guohou and others’ eyes became evasive and the thought of surrendering welled up in their heads .
Just at this time, the sky boomed . Hong Qingyun and Gu Cangtian was in the heat of their fight .
Then with a muffled groan, Gu Cangtian’s figure shook and almost fell from the sky . Blood oozed from his mouth . It seemed that he was severely injured .
