Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Silver Wolf, You Are So High and Mighty

Beneath the flames of battle, corpses were strewn everywhere; to the west of the city was utter chaos, and as Yan Wanqing fought her way through, all she saw were the bodies of Xiliang City’s civilians.

"If we were just defending the city, no Japanese Pirates would have been able to enter, what exactly is going on here?" Yan Wanqing really wanted to find Ji Yuntai and ask him to clarify.

But she couldn’t find Ji Yuntai, and instead saw Xiao Hongshen, who had been cornered in the street.

All over his body were wounds; the ground was littered with the bodies of his personal guards and the Hidden Guard.

"Truly, without any effort after much seeking, capturing her would have been difficult, but capturing this seventh Prince is an accomplishment as well," the group of Japanese Pirates, wielding curved swords, kept advancing towards Xiao Hongshen.

Xiao Hongshen retreated step by step until there was no path left to retreat.

He sneered coldly, "You despicable rats, resorting to such treacherous, toxic stratagems, feigning east but striking west, forcing me to open the city gates for a decisive battle, and now attempting to capture me to threaten Dawei—I would rather die than submit!"

"Hahaha, such a pledge to rather die than submit! They say the Princes of Dawei are incredibly smart, and Crown Prince Xiao Pingfeng is even hailed as the best among men, a great warrior on the battlefield, who had already pacified the north. But when it comes to our seventh Prince, tsk tsk tsk..." The Japanese Pirates didn’t finish their sentence, but those few sounds of disdain left much to the imagination.

"Kill me or mutilate me, it’s all up to you; why waste so many words!" Xiao Hongshen clenched a Broken Sword in his hand, his aura of royalty undeniable at that moment.

No more nonsense; they began the fight.

"Alright then, our seventh Prince is unsatisfied and wants to practise with us brothers again," the Japanese Pirates laughed as they entered the narrow street where the sound of clashing swords soon followed.

All of this was witnessed by Yan Wanqing from above the eaves.

She had intended to let Xiao Hongshen die.

But when she saw a pirate stepping on his head, she couldn’t hold back any longer and threw her dagger, piercing through that man’s chest.

"Who’s there?!"

"Why should I call you Grandfather!" Yan Wanqing spun down, and with a swift palm strike, she sliced through the throats of those three men, while the remaining Japanese Pirates immediately backed off cautiously.

"It appears the seventh Prince’s confidante has arrived," the Japanese Pirates squinted their eyes sizing up Yan Wanqing, seeing her beautiful appearance and female attire, they greatly underestimated her.

"If you won’t speak, then die." Yan Wanqing slammed her hand against the wall, sending a shower of stones flying, which she directed to pierce through one man’s throat.

This move of killing from afar made sure no one dared to underestimate her again.

"Madam, I am the Commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition, you all listen carefully, my name is—" Yan Wanqing pronounced every word, "Yan, Wan, Qing!"

"What, her name is Yan Wanqing!" The Japanese Pirates were shocked at hearing these three words.

Instantly, they became excited.

"Capture her and take her back for the reward, the Great Marshal has said, catching Yan Wanqing alive grants the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households!"

The initially independent Japanese Pirates, upon hearing this, swarmed in and quickly blocked the entire entrance of the alley.

Xiao Hongshen, standing behind Yan Wanqing, sneered disdainfully, "Are you genuinely foolish or just pretending? You’ve already left Xiliang City, yet you run back here to court death."

"Shut up." She only showed herself because she didn’t want a Prince of Dawei to suffer humiliation; this land was defended by the blood and flesh of her fathers and brothers.

Xiao Hongshen could only die by her hands in this lifetime.

"Marquis of a Thousand Households, it seems I am quite valuable," Yan Wanqing beckoned to them with her fingers, "Let’s see if you have the lives to take it."

"Attack, you bastards!" the Japanese Pirates wielding their curved swords charged into the alley like a swarm of locusts.

"Who dares to move!" a low reprimand came from the entrance of the alley, followed immediately by a wolf’s howl.

The Japanese Pirates turned around only to see a man and a wolf blocking their retreat.

"Silver Wolf, kill them all." Xiao Pingfeng walked forward without blinking, and the group of Japanese Pirates couldn’t even touch his clothes before they were thrown out, then the Silver Wolf following behind bit their necks, killing them instantly.

Yan Wanqing looked at him incredulously, "You, how can you be here?"

Xiao Pingfeng stepped forward and embraced her: "Wherever you are, there I am." When he arrived at Blue Lake, he only saw Qin Wu and her maid. Hearing that she had returned to Xiliang City sent a chill through him, but he hastened his journey and finally caught up.

Amid the wails of thousands, the two held each other, and at that moment, it seemed as if they were the only two people in the world.

"Did you think I was dead?" Xiao Hongshen’s eyes had been wide since he saw Xiao Pingfeng appear, and now seeing the two embracing, he could only wonder why the Japanese Pirates hadn’t just killed him directly.

Xiao Pingfeng looked down at him haughtily and scoffed lightly: "It’s been a long time, and you still lack manners, not even calling me big brother anymore."

"Xiao Pingfeng, you have abandoned your post, do you realize this is a capital offense!" Xiao Hongshen grit his teeth and threatened.

"Still thinking of exploiting others’ weaknesses at a time like this, truly fitting for Prince Seven," Yan Wanqing said mockingly.

Xiao Hongshen moved too abruptly and aggravated his wounds, grimacing in pain: "You!"

"What about me?" Yan Wanqing’s eyes were icy cold: "I really wish you would die here in Xiliang City, so you wouldn’t go back to the Capital City and harm others."

Hearing her words, Xiao Hongshen sneered: "The feeling is mutual."

He too wished that the two in front of him would die here in Xiliang City, and never return to the Capital City ever again.

"Then just leave him here, why waste words?" said Xiao Pingfeng, holding Yan Wanqing, ready to leave.

Seeing they were about to leave for real, and with the blood-covered Silver Wolf at the alley’s entrance eyeing him, Xiao Hongshen panicked: "I have laid a net of heaven and earth early on in the Capital City, if I don’t return alive, let alone the Yan Family, the whole Capital City will have to bury with me!"

His words finally made them stop in their tracks.

Yan Wanqing clutched at Xiao Pingfeng’s robe, suddenly softening her tone: "What did your younger brother just say?"

Xiao Pingfeng glanced behind: "Something about a mass funeral."

Speaking of mass funerals," Yan Wanqing curled her red lips, "I imagine that the Zhang Family, Wang Family, and the Cao Family in the Capital City wouldn’t be lonely on the road to the underworld."

"What have you done!" Xiao Hongshen’s face turned ashen as he shouted urgently.

"The deeds are no fewer than those of Prince Seven, I hope when you return to the Capital City, you can still carry today’s regal aura," Yan Wanqing dropped this remark, then leapt up to the roof. Looking down at Xiao Hongshen’s pitiful state, she unexpectedly found it hard to describe her feelings.

It wasn’t as satisfying as she had imagined.

Down below.

Xiao Hongshen stared intensely at Xiao Pingfeng: "Are you really going to indulge her rampages in the Capital City? You are the Crown Prince of Dawei!"

"Crown Prince?" Xiao Pingfeng laughed lightly, as if he heard something amusing: "What’s so special about being Dawei’s Crown Prince? Neither father nor you have ever truly acknowledged my status as the Crown Prince. Stop acting morally superior and accusing others. Besides, I’ve long since stopped wanting to be any kind of Crown Prince!"

If he wanted, he could simply conquer a city and declare himself king!
