Chapter 265 He actually used his sword to stab the mud.
Vice Envoy Yao did not hear Zhang Haoyi's shouts.
He stared intently at Li Qingqing, feeling the breath of death rushing towards him for the first time in his life.
If the sword had been pushed in just half a millimeter further, it would have pierced his throat swiftly.
One move! This seemingly young man defeated him in a single move!
What about all the attacks he launched against Li Qing with all his might?
Vice Envoy Yao quickly glanced at Li Feng and the others, feeling that their eyes were full of mockery and ridicule towards him.
He felt utterly humiliated!
Vice Envoy Yao's face first turned ashen with despair, then his mind went blank, and his blood rushed to his head.
He involuntarily took a few steps back, turned his head, and roared angrily at the armored soldiers he had brought.
"Attack! All of you, attack! Li Qing and Li Feng have humiliated the border patrol envoy and disregarded military discipline. Arrest them! No one is allowed to stop them! If they dare to resist, kill them on the spot!!"
However, almost at the same time that Vice Envoy Yao uttered his first word, Li Feng suddenly waved his hand at the city guards.
Brush brush!
The shield bearers immediately raised their shields, and the archers nocked their bows again.
In the blink of an eye, the city guards had completed their battle preparations in perfect unison, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.
"Try moving, and I'll make you taste the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows!" Li Feng coldly shouted at Vice Envoy Yao.
Zhang Haoyi, who had just run between the two opposing sides to try and mediate, exclaimed: !!
Zhang Haoyi abruptly stopped in his tracks, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?
He looked around in alarm, and when he realized that Li Feng wasn't talking about him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart jumped again.
He noticed that Li Qing had moved.
"Anyone who dares to cross this sword will be killed without mercy!"
As Li Qingqing spoke, she suddenly flicked her wrist with force.
The longsword in his hand seemed to have eyes; with a "whoosh," it plunged straight into the muddy ground in the center of the arena.
A smile played on her lips as she asked coldly, "What? Lord Yao, are you sore loser that you want your men to come and die?"
Vice Admiral Chi:...
Deputy General Chi took an almost imperceptible half-step forward, involuntarily wanting to rush towards his longsword.
Suddenly, he noticed that the air around him was extremely cold. He shivered involuntarily, secretly glanced at Li Feng's cold expression, and then silently withdrew his half-step.
That damned Li Qing! He said no sticking his sword into wood, and he actually used it to stick his sword into the dirt! Sticking his sword into the dirt!!
Who could feel his heart bleeding?
The Xuanjia soldiers stared at the longsword stuck in the center of the field, and then looked at the army formation waiting in battle opposite them.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing hesitation, and they all stopped and dared not step forward.
Zhang Haoyi glanced at Vice Envoy Yao, whose face was practically dripping with ink, then forced a smile—which he considered somewhat satisfactory—and grinned at Li Qingqing.
"It's a misunderstanding! This is absolutely a huge misunderstanding! Let's talk it out! Let's talk it out!"
Zhang Haoyi was on the verge of tears, feeling as if he had encountered the worst luck imaginable.
Not long after the man in black left last night, he was indeed poisoned. That damned physician couldn't even detect such a vicious poison!
It can't even provide the most basic pain relief!
What kind of medical officer are you?!
It forced him to endure it all thanks to his strong willpower!
Fortunately, he was always cautious and liked to make two preparations. He had agreed to the man in black's request in advance. As long as he could hold out until tomorrow morning, he would be able to obtain the antidote.
Therefore, when Zhang Haoyi learned that Vice Envoy Yao had summoned all the Xuanjia soldiers to capture Li Feng, his survival instinct forced him to come in person.
After all, there were threats from Li Qing, threats from the man in black, and threats from the strange poison that caused him excruciating pain every two hours.
Each of these was like a sword hanging over his head, and he had to stop Vice Envoy Yao from acting recklessly immediately.
"Lord Yao, calm down! Li Qing, let's talk this out! General Li, tell them to stop fighting! Look at this tense situation, it's so damaging to the harmony!"
They're all big shots; he can't afford to offend them, okay?
Zhang Haoyi was busy running around.
"Oh!" Li Qingqing remained unmoved, looking at Vice Envoy Yao with indifferent eyes. "Lord Yao hasn't admitted defeat yet!"
"you!"
Upon hearing this, Vice Envoy Yao's eyes seemed to spit fire, and he almost spoke.
"Lord Yao, Lord Yao, please calm down! This is truly a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Haoyi wished he could rush over and soothe Vice Envoy Yao's heaving chest. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and quickly announced loudly to the crowd,
"I have already ascertained that Li Qing and Li Feng are innocent victims. The real traitor is Wei Shenglu! I will escort him back to the capital first thing tomorrow morning and hand him over to His Majesty for judgment! Furthermore, Qi'an Kingdom has now surrendered to Da Yuan and is a friendly nation of Da Yuan. Now that our friendly nation is in trouble, I cannot abandon it. I hereby order the immediate release of General Zhao and all prisoners, and their return to their country to provide support!"
Leave immediately, the sooner the better! Ideally, set off right away!
Zhang Haoyi silently added a sentence in his mind.
"Hmph!" Vice Envoy Yao glared fiercely at Li Qingqing, then glanced at Zhang Haoyi, who said, "I'm doing this for your own good," and left without saying a word, leading his Xuanjia soldiers.
Originally, they intended to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Prince Qing's helpers, but not only did they fail, they have now given Prince Qing another ally!
Look at this kid, his martial arts skills are actually higher than Li Feng's.
Deputy Envoy Yao was so angry that his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Very good! Li Qing, right? I'll remember you!
The humiliation we suffer today will be repaid a hundredfold!
Li Qingqing watched as Vice Envoy Yao fled in disarray, a smile playing on her lips. She then turned to Zhang Haoyi, feigning surprise, and asked...
"Hey, Lord Zhang, it's been a whole night! What happened to you? You look so haggard."
This down-to-earth Lord Zhang not only doesn't speak in official jargon, but he's also not wearing official robes. He's much more endearing this way.
Zhang Haoyi: ...
Zhang Haoyi had no words to express his suffering; his current state was all because of Li Qing!
That damned Li Qing actually managed to contact the people from Qingfeng Pavilion and even handed over a secret letter to them!
This caused him to be threatened by the men in black, who then gave him some kind of poison, causing him to experience stomach pains every two hours.
The pain was comparable to the pain his wife experienced during childbirth, and what was strange was that apart from the regular contractions, she had no other problems!
No, it's possible that the physician's skills were inadequate!
That damn quack!
Zhang Haoyi silently grumbled to himself.
Seeing Zhang Haoyi remain silent, Li Qingqing asked with a smile, "Lord Zhang, it is nearing dusk. I wonder if the soldiers' battle achievements have all been registered and recorded?"
"It'll be soon, it won't delay tomorrow's journey at all. We'll set off for the capital first thing tomorrow morning! The scribes have been writing furiously since yesterday and haven't stopped yet!"
Zhang Haoyi quickly smiled apologetically, then, as if thinking of something, said with concern, "However... Imperial Censor Ruan is still missing, which is a troublesome matter."
"Oh? Lord Ruan is missing? Could it be that he did something wrong and fled to avoid punishment?"
Li Qingqing raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise and asked with concern, "Lord Zhang, do you intend to stay in the border city and wait for him?"
"No, no, no, His Majesty is waiting for me to return and report my military achievements."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoyi's expression turned serious, and he quickly waved his hand.
"Winter is here. If we don't hurry back, we might encounter snow and wind on the way, which could delay our journey. We'll leave tomorrow morning! Alright, you may all leave now. I'm going to supervise the clerks now."
Zhang Haoyi lifted his foot and walked away.
