Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 268 It was you who betrayed me, Ouyang Xu
The general's words made Ouyang Xu look surprised.

When did the Zhenxi Army assemble?

"I will lead the army out of the city and head directly to Gubei City."

"Spread the news that needs to be spread."

Ouyang Shucai strode out and stood beside Ouyang Xu. After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Xu and patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care of yourself."

Take care.

Ouyang Xu watched Ouyang Shucai stride out of the Marquis' Mansion, and felt a tightness in his chest.

He passed on the news that the Northern Yan army was going to attack the northern border to King Zhao.

From then on, he rebelled against Northern Yan and went to Qin.

Although he would not have to worry about his life and death in the future, his father held a high position of power in Xichang City, Ouyang Ming also became the prince consort of Northern Yan, and the entire Ouyang family was rich and powerful, but they could only live apart.

In this world, only a hero like my father dares to maneuver between two powerful forces.

Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Xu quickly walked out of the Marquis' Mansion.

……

Xichang City.

The roar of galloping war horses resounded.

Teams of cavalry gathered and left the city.

Inside the inn, Xiao Lou stood on the second-floor attic with a solemn expression.

"The Zhenxi Army is assembling. The Northern Yan royal family's wedding procession is in Yulin City, three hundred miles away."

They only learned about this from the information sent by the spy after they returned to the post station.

The Zhenxi Army must have known the news much earlier than them, which is why they were able to gather and leave the city.

Han Xiao pressed his palms on the railing in front of him and narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that Ouyang Shu deliberately held the banquet to prevent us from responding immediately after receiving the news of the arrival of the wedding procession."

"Fortunately, this matter was originally arranged by Headmaster Yu. Headmaster Yu Kuizhen and his men have already set out, hoping to reach Yulin City before the Zhenxi Army."

After a pause, Han Xiao shook his head and said, "It's a pity that we are stuck in the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion. Zhang Yuan and the martial artists from Zhengyang County he arranged for cannot follow Master Yu to Yulin City."

Xiao Lou nodded, looking at the figure walking slowly downstairs, and whispered, "It's okay. When we first set out from the Imperial City, we didn't consider Zhengyang County's help. Arranging Zhang Yuan and the others to come was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, and it has no impact on the overall situation."

Han Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhang Yuan had a high level of cultivation and that they would have a greater chance of success if they went to Yulin City, but when he saw the figure coming downstairs, he stopped talking.

Downstairs, Zhu Xitang walked slowly with a scroll tucked under his waist. He came in front of Xiao Lou and bowed slightly.

"Master Xiao, as far as I know, the Marquis of Zhenxi, Ouyang Shu, ordered the Zhenxi Army to assemble yesterday."

"At this time, he has already personally led 100,000 elite troops from the Zhenxi Army out of the city."

……

Xichang City, Yutan Inn.

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the inn, the lights were just coming on.

Looking at the front hall and entrance of the inn, there were warriors wearing martial arts robes and holding swords everywhere.

These are all people from the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion in the city.

Zhang Yuan did not stop in front of the inn. He walked around the corner and arrived at the eaves next to the roof of the backyard in a few jumps.

In the backyard, Princess Fengming, wearing a martial arts robe, held a short sword in her hand, and was accompanied by several guards.

"Princess Fengming, in fact, given the fate between my Ouyang family and your Zhaowang Mansion, it is only natural for me to call you sister-in-law."

Ouyang Ming stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.

"I'm just curious, is Ouyang Xu really that charming, enough to make you, Princess Fengming, stay with him forever?"

Ying Fenglan stood there, her expression calm and silent.

Ouyang Ming shook his head, a look of sarcasm on his face.

"In fact, you are just trying to destroy the marriage between my Ouyang family and the Northern Yan royal family."

"If my guess is correct, you plan to break into the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion on my wedding day, take out the covenant you made with Ouyang Xu, and then marry him in public, right?"

"In this case, even if the princess's marriage can continue, after this incident, my Ouyang family will be completely alienated from the Northern Yan royal family."

Ouyang Ming looked at Princess Fengming with viciousness in his eyes.

"Ouyang Xu is your chess piece. Do you also consider me, Ouyang Ming, as a chess piece?"

With a low shout, the faint scale-like demonic pattern on Ouyang Ming's forehead appeared and then disappeared. "Only people like you see everything as a conspiracy." Princess Fengming looked forward.

"I came here to give myself an explanation, and also to give him an explanation."

"I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to control my own destiny again in this life, and the same probably applies to him."

Take control of your own destiny.

These words made Ouyang Ming's face twitch, and the demonic pattern on his forehead reappeared.

Ouyang Ming seems to be in a very good position, but in fact he is the one who cannot control his own destiny!

What son-in-law, what son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, in fact, who asked for his opinion from beginning to end?
If he had not practiced the Heavenly Demon Palace's skills and established a relationship with the Heavenly Demon Palace, he would still be an insignificant person.

Even now, isn't he being used by the Heavenly Demon Palace and the royal family?
It's just that he is worth being used now.

"Then I'll take you to him and see if he can control his own destiny." With a gloomy face, Ouyang Ming raised his hand and waved it. A team of warriors behind him rushed towards Princess Fengming.

The guards beside Princess Fengming came forward with swords in hand.

The fight in the courtyard broke out instantly.

The cultivation level of Princess Fengming's guards was obviously much higher, but the warriors kept rushing forward, and they were unable to protect Princess Fengming from rushing out.

"Shhhhh-"

Just as the fight was going on in the yard, the sounds of bows and crossbows shooting were heard.

A team of soldiers wearing black scale armor and holding bows and crossbows rushed into the courtyard from all directions.

Ouyang Xu, wearing black armor, strode towards them.

The guards and warriors who were fighting stopped and looked warily at Ouyang Xu who walked in.

Princess Fengming also looked at Ouyang Xu who was striding towards her.

Ouyang Xu walked up to Princess Fengming and looked at her.

"You're right. Your destiny should be in your own hands."

He reached out, grasped Princess Fengming's hand, and took a deep breath.

"I'll take you away."

go?
Where to go?

Princess Fengming widened her eyes.

Ouyang Ming looked at Ouyang Xu who turned around with a gloomy expression.

"Ouyang Xu, are you going to betray Dayan, betray the Zhenxi Army, and betray my Ouyang family?"

Hearing his words, Ouyang Xu's eyes fell on Ouyang Ming.

There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

This look made Ouyang Ming very uncomfortable.

"Father has done everything he can for us. As long as we follow his arrangements, we will have the opportunity to control our own destiny."

"Ouyang Ming, as long as you understand that the Zhenxi Army and father are our strength and support, that's enough."

After Ouyang Xu finished speaking, he took Princess Fengming's hand and walked out.

The team of black-armored soldiers armed with bows and crossbows protected them, and the warriors led by Ouyang Ming did not dare to move forward.

Ouyang Ming's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Ouyang Xu and Princess Fengming walked to the gate of the courtyard when the sound of a sword was heard.

"Thorn-"

A flash of sword light slashed across, forcing Ouyang Xu and Princess Fengming back into the courtyard.

A woman in a light red dress walked forward holding a sword.

Behind the woman, an old man in a black robe and several hooded figures with solemn auras came slowly towards her.

"Someone from the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Ouyang Xu's eyes were filled with solemnity.

Turning his head to look at Ouyang Ming, Ouyang Xu's eyes were filled with anger.

"By bringing the Heavenly Demon Palace into Xichang City, you have betrayed your father and the Zhenxi Army."

Ouyang Ming snorted coldly, clenched his fist and shouted, "I only did what a minister of Great Yan should do. It was you, Ouyang Xu, who betrayed me!"
