The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 679 Li Yihuan Beheads the Enemy

At this time, the army of the Southern Camp stopped the attack, and the soldiers and horses separated into two groups. A group of cavalry came out, led by Yelu Xiong, who was wrapped in iron linked animal armor.

Emperor Liao Zuo glanced at Yelu Xiong, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Yelu Xiong, you and I are brothers from the same mother, why did you betray me!"

Yelu Xiong and Emperor Zuo of Liao also completely broke off relations. When he saw Emperor Zuo of Liao calling him by his name, he was too lazy to pretend anymore.

He said coldly, "Royal brother, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Didn't you listen to Empress Xiao and Yelu Lingxiao's advice and want to attack me at this conference?"

"If I hadn't been with you all day, letting you down your guard, I'd probably have already become your prisoner, a dead soul at your sword's hands!"

As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Liao Zuo and said kindly, "Brother, I, for the sake of our shared mother, will let you live your life in peace if you surrender and hand over the throne to me."

What do you mean by surrendering?

What do you mean by passing the throne to him?

It turns out that Yelu Xiong has been plotting to seize the throne for a long time.

What he meant by letting Emperor Liao Zuo live his life in peace was actually imprisoning him in the deep palace, where he would never see the light of day again.

Emperor Zuo of Liao felt heartbroken at this moment. It turned out that all this was a disguise of Yelu Xiong. He had originally cared about his family relationship with Yelu Xiong and wanted to take advantage of this hunting meeting to seize his military power and make him an idle prince.

But he didn't expect Yelu Xiong to be so cruel and ruthless that he really wanted to usurp the throne.

He stared at Yelu Xiong coldly, and said sternly, "Yelü Xiong, you are clearly looking for an excuse to openly rebel. As long as you let the soldiers lay down their weapons, I will not pursue the matter..."

Before he could finish, someone suddenly pointed behind him and shouted, "Your Majesty, look what that is?"

Everyone couldn't help but look towards the east, and saw countless torches burning in the dense forest, rolling towards them.

Emperor Liaozuo suddenly became excited and shouted, "Haha, my troops are coming, Yelu Xiong, you are dead this time."

Xiao Fengxian, dressed in armor, and with countless soldiers behind him, appeared not far behind Emperor Zuo of Liao. He dismounted from his horse, and the guards immediately made way for him.

He came before Emperor Liao Zuo, knelt on one knee, and said with his hands clasped in his hands: "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Emperor Liao Zuo waved his hand and said excitedly, "Your Excellency Xiao, you have arrived at the perfect time. You will stay here to defend me from Yelu Xiong's army. I will break out of the encirclement and bring in reinforcements to rescue you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fengxian was stunned. He never expected that Emperor Zuo of Liao would be so shameless. Under such circumstances, he actually let the Dongying army become cannon fodder while he was only concerned with his own escape.

"Your Majesty, do not panic. In this situation, the advantage lies with me. Just wait and see how we, your subjects, will crush the rebellion."

Xiao Fengxian first calmed down Emperor Liao Zuo, then shouted to the imperial guards: "Soldiers, the traitor Yelu Xiong is trying to kill the emperor and commit treason. He deserves death. As your Majesty's subjects, we should kill the traitor and serve the country."

"Warriors of the Liao Dynasty, please join us in slaying the rebels."

As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers of the East Camp behind him shouted together: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Even many guards joined in shouting and killing. For a moment the shouting was so deafening that Emperor Zuo of Liao was so shocked that his legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground.

Yelu Lage looked around and saw that his subordinates were intimidated by Xiao Fengxian's bold words, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

He looked at the terrified Liao Zuo Emperor with a bewildered expression and asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, what should we choose?"

Emperor Liao Zuo waved his hand and said hesitantly, "First, you will follow the command of Lord Xiao Ai and kill the rebels for me."

Upon hearing this, Yelu Lage suddenly raised his scimitar high and shouted, "All officers and men, listen to my orders! Follow Envoy Xiao to kill the rebels and attack!"

Upon hearing the sound, five or six thousand guards quickly formed a battle formation, merged with the East Camp army, and rushed towards the South Camp army.

The soldiers on both sides waved their swords desperately and fought each other in an extremely brutal battle.

At the same time, Yelu Lingxiao and the Xiao family army were desperately resisting the sudden attack from Yelu Hong's troops.

Empress Xiao was surrounded by the Xiao family army. Li Yihuan looked around and kept shooting at the approaching enemies with the crossbow in his hand.

As the battle continued, the Xiao family army's numbers became smaller and smaller, but they were still unable to break through the enemy's defenses.

Li Yihuan said to Yelu Lingxiao, "Master Yelu, this is not a solution. You protect Empress Xiao. I will go and deal with Yelu Hong first."

Yelu Lingxiao hurriedly stopped him, saying, "This is inappropriate. Your mission is to protect the Queen, not to kill that bastard Yelu Hong."

Empress Xiao suddenly pulled out a scimitar from the waist of a guard and said confidently, "I am not so weak that I need so many people to protect me."

"Uncle-in-law, have someone protect Li Zhuangshi and help me get Yelu Hong's head."

"No need." Li Yihuan blurted out.

He disappeared from the spot in an instant. He dodged left and right without even looking at anyone. The crossbow in his hand was fired instantly, and the enemies fell to the ground one by one.

Seeing Li Yihuan so brave, the morale of the Xiao family army was boosted. They shouted in unison and attacked more fiercely.

On the other hand, the soldiers on the opposite side were shot to the ground one by one. Everyone was in danger and terrified. Their formation became unstable and was about to be broken.

How could Yelu Lingxiao, a veteran of many battles, miss such a good opportunity? He swung the scimitar in his hand and shouted, "Quickly break out of the encirclement."

At this time, Yelu Hong was sitting on his warhorse, passing through the crowd. He had already seen the situation clearly and felt something was wrong.

Without time to think, he decisively chose to retreat, but there were troops all behind him, and at this moment, he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.

He turned his head to direct the guards around him and said without hesitation: "Quick, stop that man!"

However, when he turned around, a horrifying scene appeared, "Hey, where are the people?"

The next moment, he felt a chill on his neck and fell off his horse, unable to breathe.

Empress Xiao had been watching Li Yihuan. Seeing Yelu Hong suddenly fall to the ground, she was very surprised and couldn't help muttering, "This man's archery skills are amazing. He is like an unstoppable force. He is really a deadly weapon!"

Li Yihuan succeeded in killing Yelu Hong with one move. He took out the flying knife from his waist and cut Yelu Hong's thick neck one by one, as if nothing had happened.

The rebels around were stunned with shock and fled in all directions, no one dared to step forward.

After doing all this, Li Yihuan walked up to Empress Xiao and Yelu Lingxiao, threw Yelu Hong's head on the ground, and said with a faint smile: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Empress Xiao shouted without hesitation, "Mr. Li, please stay."

Li Yihuan stopped, turned around, and looked at Xiao Duolilan with interest, as if waiting for her to speak.

Seeing this, Empress Xiao made no secret of her admiration for him and solemnly promised: "Li Zhuangshi, can you stay with me? High position, generous salary, glory and wealth, you can choose whatever you want."

Seeing that Empress Xiao was openly recruiting him, Li Yihuan shook his head, seeming to be uninterested in her promise.

Then, he felt that he was a little rude to Empress Xiao, and said with a smile: "I am deeply honored by Empress Xiao's kindness. However, you can write to the Emperor of Daxia. If he agrees, I am willing to stay by the Empress' side."

"How dare you!" The Xiao family guard immediately drew out his scimitar and shouted.

Empress Xiao was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and said with a flickering look in her eyes, "I will definitely write a letter. Please tell His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia and convey my greetings to him."

After saying that, she waved her hand, asked the guards to withdraw, and let Li Yihuan leave.

Li Yihuan bowed to Empress Xiao and left gracefully.

Yelu Lingxiao stepped forward and whispered, "Are you really going to let him go like this? My second brother told me to wipe out the entire family."

Empress Xiao glared at Yelu Lingxiao and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"

Yelu Lingxiao shook his head without thinking, not daring to say anything.

Empress Xiao took a deep breath and smiled softly, "If you are not sure, why do such a foolish thing?"

"There's a saying in Daxia: A gentleman shouldn't stand on a dangerous wall. I don't want to be targeted by someone like that."

"Besides, I'm becoming more and more interested in this Great Xia Emperor..."
