The blow on his back sent Beiqi Emperor flying in the air and he violently threw up a mouthful of blood. Then he fell onto the ground with barely a breath of life left in him. This time, he did not even have the strength to lift his hand.
Feng Tianlan was still burning with rage as she wielded the huge Ice Knife around, as though she wanted to sweep away an army of a thousand soldiers. Under her Ice Knife, the surrounding palace that was already in a sorry state was reduced into mere debris lying all over.
“Doesn’t Princess Gu Yun, whom you favor the most, have a Spiritual Emperor by her side as well? At this point in time, why is she not coming out to save you?” Feng Tianlan tauntingly asked Beiqi Emperor.
Beiqi Emperor could not even lift his hand, and at this point he did not even feel like saying any hurtful words in return. Gu Yun was his final trump card, and the Spiritual Emperor was set aside to protect her.
“If you enrage me, then you have to bear my wrath.” Feng Tianlan retracted her Ice Knife. A green vine immediately appeared in her hands and she used it to tie Beiqi Emperor’s hands behind his back before he headed out of the palace.
“Tianlan,” Gu Nansheng saw Feng Tianlan leaving and shouted loudly.
Feng Tianlan did not look down. She merely replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill him.”
Gu Nansheng uttered a soft “Oh” and said, “Imperial brother, looks like this is going to take awhile.”
Beiqi Crown Prince looked at Feng Tianlan’s departing back view with a burning look in his eyes. He sprang to his feet and said, “I’ll go take a look.”
Before Gu Nansheng could say anything, her imperial brother had long disappeared without a trace. When she looked up again, she saw that Wu Yuan had also leapt past her without even looking at her. For that, she could not help but let out a bitter laugh as she led her army of men and horses over to that chaotic and messy battlefield. She had to take good control of the situation, and this time, she definitely would not allow Gu Yun to get ahead of her.
Beiqi Crown Prince had been following Feng Tianlan all this time. When he saw that the buildings of the capital beneath his feet had also become a cloud of dust, he could not help tugging at the corners of his lips. Seeing how Feng Tianlan was soon disappearing out of his line of vision, the burning look in his eyes greatly intensified.
Such a strong and gutsy woman was a rare sight in this world. She was the only one who was able to make him fall in love at first sight!
Feng Tianlan grabbed Beiqi Emperor and headed towards the city gate tower. Then she said, “If you want to save Beiqi Emperor, come to the northern city gate tower.”
As soon as people heard that Beiqi Emperor had been captured, and that there were palace guards in hot pursuit, they flocked towards the northern city gate tower. Within a fleeting moment, a sea of people had all gathered together.
Even the people who had finished putting out the fire, who were overwhelmed with exhaustion, had also joined in the crowd. At that moment, people from all over the city had gathered together, filling up the space of several streets and rooftops.
“Isn’t that Feng Tianlan, who’s just been conferred the title of imperial noble consort by His Majesty? Who is she grabbing in her hand?”
“That’s the gold robe with a five-clawed dragon embroidery. Also, she did say that it was the Beiqi Emperor, so if I’m not mistaken, that’s our emperor.”
“Isn’t she going to be His Majesty’s imperial noble consort? Why is she holding His Majesty captive?”
“Demon…” Someone who started to speak was quick to change his words, “Today, as soon as the decree of conferment of title was issued, Feng Tianlan flew into a rage. Not only did she set the imperial carriage on fire, she even killed many people and burned down so many houses. All of these were her doing.”
“Such unbridled arrogance…”
Someone went on to say, “Feng Tianlan does have what it takes to be so arrogant. Now she has even captured our emperor.”
With Beiqi Emperor in her hands, Feng Tianlan stood on the city gate tower and watched as more and more people gathered at this place. Then, while placing Beiqi Emperor on the edge of the city gate tower she said, “Clarify the situation that occurred today to your people.”
“What happened today? I’ve no idea.” Seeing how he was tied up whilst appearing before the people of his country, Beiqi Emperor immediately changed his earlier attitude of conceding defeat.
He simply could not believe that Feng Tianlan dared to do anything to him, the emperor, before the people of Beiqi Nation. That was, unless she had no intention of leaving Beiqi Nation.
Feng Tianlan shot a glance at him and said with a cold sneer, “If you’re not going to say it yourself, then I’ll help you say it. I’ll help you clarify.”
“What are you trying to do?” Beiqi Emperor started to feel panicky. In an angry voice, he said, “This is Beiqi Nation, not a place where you can act so presumptuously.”
