Ye Fuxun's words were of course nonsense. The old village owner did not tell her the whereabouts of the treasure, nor did she ask. However, she thought that a complex-thinking person like Yu Xiunan would believe her statement, so she decided to bet
A handful.
Sure enough, Yu Xiunan slowly put down his sword.
Just when Ye Fuxun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Xiunan suddenly pointed his sword at her again and approached step by step. "Thank you for telling me the whereabouts of the treasure, but I have to break my promise today."
Ye Fuxun couldn't help but cursed secretly. At this moment, he really didn't know what to do.
She retreated step by step, but Yu Xiunan pressed forward step by step. Finally, Ye Fuxun retreated to the corner with no way to go, and Yu Xiunan raised his sword and was about to stab him.
At this time, the sound of the door opening was heard. It was the bronze door that I had passed through before. Bai Yuxian arrived!
Yu Xiunan didn't expect anyone else to come, so she subconsciously looked back, giving Ye Fuxun a chance to escape.
Ye Fuxun quickly ran away, widening the distance between himself and Yu Xiunan, and the two of them formed a triangular position with Bai Yuxian.
"Ye'er, are you okay?" Bai Yuxian asked eagerly.
Ye Fuxun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Bai Yuxian finally felt at ease and concentrated on dealing with Yu Xiunan.
Bai Yuxian also brought a dozen people, who already had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. Yu Xiunan knew that he would not be able to escape if he was killed.
However, Yu Xiunan, who was unwilling to surrender by nature, took hold of the sword again and pointed the sword edge at Bai Yuxian. "Your Highness, King Chen, can you give me a chance to duel with you?"
"Of course." Bai Yuxian agreed happily. He had already experienced Yu Xiunan's skills before and knew that the other party could not be his opponent. He originally disdained a duel with him.
But the current situation is that there are more than a dozen people on his side. It would be disrespectful to bully the few with more people. It is better to fight him one-on-one, which is more fair.
Ye Fuxun was a little worried, fearing that Yu Xiunan would play some trick in the end, so he said to Bai Yuxian with disapproval: "You are not one of those people in the world, what are you good for dueling with? What if..."
"It's okay." Bai Yuxian patted Ye Fuxun on the shoulder and reassured, then walked towards Yu Xiunan.
The duel between the two begins.
Ye Fuxun stared at Yu Xiunan closely, fearing that he might use some sinister trick, and saw his every move clearly.
As expected, Yu Xiunan was no match for Bai Yuxian. After only twenty or so moves, he gradually fell into a disadvantage. Bai Yuxian showed no mercy at all, and his moves were fatal. However, Yu Xiunan reacted very quickly, and every time he was about to stab him.
, were quickly avoided by him.
After continuing like this for about half a stick of incense, Yu Xiunan waved his right hand and instantly threw out a few silver needles from his sleeves and shot them at Bai Yuxian quickly.
"Be careful!" Ye Fuxun shouted, and his heart suddenly seemed to jump out of his chest.
Just when everyone thought Bai Yuxian was about to be stabbed by a silver needle, he suddenly turned around, waved his arm, and held the sword across his chest to block the speeding silver needle.
The silver needle fell to the ground without even touching Bai Yuxian's clothes, which shocked and annoyed Yu Xiunan. He prepared to launch the silver needle again, but before he started, Bai Yuxian had already attacked.
Yu Xiunan had no time to dodge and could only watch as the opponent's sword sank into his chest.
He knew very well that his life was over, and he had no choice but to struggle anymore. He let his increasingly weak body fall heavily, and then slowly closed his eyes.
It wasn't until she saw Yu Xiunan fall and was sure that he had expired that Ye Fuxun's heart was relieved. But looking at the corpses on the ground, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. More than a hundred people died like this.
Is the blood on her hands too heavy?
The scene was in a mess, with corpses strewn all over the ground. It was really horrible. All his men were not spared, and they were all buried in the cave. I didn’t know what happened!
But judging from the scene, Erchen guessed that the second emperor brother and his men should have died from the mechanism in the cave,"
The emperor turned his head, looked at Ye Fulun sharply, and suddenly asked: "You went with him, how could you not know what happened?
You'er and the rest of the group are already dead, why did nothing happen to you? I'm really curious, how did you, a weak woman, save yourself?"
Ye Fuxun curled his lips and said: "It is precisely because I am a weak woman and have poor physical strength that I lagged behind the Second Emperor Brother and others. It took me nearly an hour to arrive at the cave. Unexpectedly, this saved me a life."
Life."
"Really?" The emperor was 30% trustful and 70% suspicious of Ye Fuxun's words. Not long ago, he heard that Yu Xiunan had a conflict with her, and even used King Chen to blackmail her into doing certain things.
He wondered if she had a grudge and planned to kill Yu Xiunan.
If it was Ye Fuxun before, he would never have such suspicion, but now Ye Fuxun is different. She has such a mind and the ability to kill Yu Xiunan.
"Ye'er, tell me honestly, does Tao'er's death have anything to do with you?"
Ye Fuxun raised his head, his eyes full of shock and grievance, and shook his head and said: "I'm not Erchen. Even though Erchen had had trouble with the second emperor brother before, he is my brother after all. How could I kill him?
"
The emperor paused and then said: "If it's not you, then it's probably King Chen who is traveling with you?"
"That's impossible. King Chen is from Dongchen and is not familiar with the terrain of the Western Kingdom. How could he plan to kill the two emperor brothers in Cuiyu Ridge? What's more, King Chen has been with me all the time, and he didn't find anything.
Strange."
"Then according to what you said, everyone present is dead, so there is no way to find out the cause of You'er's death?" There was something in the emperor's words.
Ye Fuxun pretended not to understand and just nodded: "So far it seems that is indeed the case."
The emperor came over, looked straight at Ye Fuxun, and said, "You said that this matter has nothing to do with you and King Chen, but no one can prove it. Now that there is no proof, you can say whatever you want, right?"
Ye Fuxun looked at him fearlessly and said calmly: "Father, I still doubt that my son killed the second emperor brother?
Since my father doesn’t believe what I said, I can’t do anything about it, so why don’t I just kill my son and avenge my second brother?”
When she said this, she appeared to be open-minded and fearless, which made it difficult for the emperor to say anything. It was true that he could not dispel his doubts about Ye Fuxun, but that was just a suspicion, and he could not do anything to her just because of this.
Besides, what can we do if we kill her? It’s not the same thing and it can’t change the fact!
Finally, the emperor let out a long sigh, turned his back to Ye Fuxun, and his voice was full of helplessness:
"That's all. You're no longer alive, so there's no point in pursuing these matters. Please step back first. I want to be alone and quiet."
