Ying Wuji's maniacal laughter sounded particularly jarring in the deathly silent square.

He laughed so hard his tears were almost coming out, as if he was enjoying the increasingly ugly expression on Qin Feng's face.

Finally, Ying Wuji stopped laughing and looked at Qin Feng with a teasing look in his eyes, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"What did I do?"

Ying Wuji slowly dusted himself off and said calmly, "I simply sent a small team to your stronghold while you were busy deploying troops and preparing to make a big splash in the capital."

"Your Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's Residence."

boom!

These words struck Qin Feng like a bolt of lightning from the heavens!

The Residence of the Loyal and Valiant Marquis!

There's my sister-in-law Bai Wanqing there! There's Shangguan Wan! There's Shangguan Yu!

And all his guards and family!

Qin Feng's mind went blank for a moment, as if it had gone "buzz".

An indescribable fear and anger erupted from the depths of his heart like a volcanic eruption!

His eyes instantly turned blood red!

"What...did you say?!"

Qin Feng's voice became hoarse and trembling due to extreme anger.

He grabbed Ying Wuji by the collar and lifted him off the ground. His handsome face was twisted with rage, becoming incredibly ferocious.

"You dare touch a single hair on their heads! I'll make you wish you were dead!"

A violent killing intent, almost tangible, erupted from Qin Feng and swept across the entire square.

The surrounding soldiers, overwhelmed by this terrifying killing intent, retreated in fear, feeling as if they had been thrown into an ice cave, making it difficult to even breathe.

Li Xuanba and Yue Shan's expressions also changed.

They had followed Qin Feng for so long, and they had never seen him so out of control, so angry.

However, Ying Wuji was not afraid at all when faced with Qin Feng's almost murderous gaze.

He even reached out and gently patted Qin Feng's hand that was gripping his collar, as if soothing a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Don't get agitated, General Qin, don't get agitated."

Ying Wuji still wore that smug smile.

"I've always been a person who knows how to cherish and protect women. Your wives are all stunningly beautiful; how could I bear to harm them?"

"I just...invited them to my place for a few days as guests."

"you!"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth, his grip tightening until he nearly snapped Ying Wuji's neck.

Ying Wuji's face turned red from being choked, and he had difficulty breathing, but he still did not beg for mercy.

He managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

"If you... kill me... then they'll all be executed along with me!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Qin Feng's head.

The raging fire in Qin Feng's heart was instantly extinguished by half, replaced by endless coldness and chill.

Finally, they let go.

Ying Wuji fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his neck and coughing violently.

It took him a long time to catch his breath.

He looked up at Qin Feng, whose face was ashen and whose fists were clenched, and his smile became even more smug.

"How is it, General Qin?"

"Now, can we calmly discuss the terms?"

Ying Wuji knew that he had grasped Qin Feng's only, and most fatal, weakness.

That is because he values ​​loyalty and righteousness.

A ruthless and heartless tyrant is invincible because he has no weaknesses.

But even a hero with compassion and righteousness is full of flaws.

Qin Feng stared intently at Ying Wuji, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth.

What do you want?

"It's very simple."

Ying Wuji extended a finger and shook it.

"First, let me go."

"Not only must you let me go, but you must also send an army to escort me safely back to the border of Qin."

He looked at Qin Feng and then extended a second finger.

"Secondly, hand over all the remaining remnants of the Iron Eagle Swordsmen to me as well."

"I want to take them back to Qin."

Upon hearing these two conditions, Li Xuanba and Yue Shan behind Qin Feng were both furious.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Li Xuanba, wielding his purple-gold hammer, was about to charge forward.

"This guy is cunning and treacherous. Letting him go back is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains! Commander, don't listen to him! He's definitely trying to trick you!"

"Yes, Commander!" Yue Shan said anxiously, "Let's send someone back to the Marquis's residence right now to check. Maybe he's just bluffing!"

Qin Feng remained silent, knowing that Ying Wuji was not lying.

Someone as shrewd and calculating as Ying Wuji would never make such a risky joke at a life-or-death moment.

If you dare to say it, you must be absolutely certain.

But he couldn't just let Ying Wuji go like that!

This guy is cunning and ruthless. If we let him go this time, he will definitely come back with a more elaborate plan and greater power next time!

At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty will never have a peaceful day again!

Qin Feng was caught in a mental struggle.

On one side were his beloved woman and his unborn child.

On the other side lies the safety of the nation and the future of the world.

What should he choose?

Ying Wuji seemed to see through Qin Feng's hesitation, and he decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Oh, by the way, General Qin."

Ying Wuji feigned sudden realization, slapped his head, and said slowly in a malicious tone:

"I almost forgot to tell you some good news."

"Your wife, Shangguan Yu, seems to be... about to give birth."

"When my men left, she was writhing in pain on the bed. If I don't get back now, my men will be unhappy, and it could even result in the death of both mother and child..."

"That's such a shame, don't you think?"

boom!!!

Ying Wuji's words were like the last straw, completely breaking the taut string in Qin Feng's heart.

Shangguan Yu!

Pregnant!

She's about to give birth!

Two lives lost, one unborn!

These words, like poisoned daggers, pierced Qin Feng's heart!

An unprecedented panic and violence instantly devoured all his reason!

"Ying! Wu! Ji!"

Qin Feng looked up and let out a beast-like roar, his voice filled with boundless killing intent and pain.

"Fuck your mother!"

A vulgar curse, filled with earth-shattering rage, roared from Qin Feng's mouth!

At this moment, Qin Feng was neither a general of the Heavenly Strategy Army nor a loyal and brave duke.

He was simply a husband and father who went completely insane upon learning that his wife and children were in danger and that his wife, who was about to give birth, could die at any moment along with her unborn child!

That ferocious killing intent was ten times more terrifying than before!

The temperature in the entire palace square seemed to drop several degrees.

Every soldier felt as if a cold knife was held to their neck, and they dared not move an inch.

Li Xuanba and Yue Shan were so shocked by the roar that they had never seen Qin Feng so out of control.

Ying Wuji was also startled by the roar, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

But he quickly regained his composure and even smiled more broadly.

The angrier and more out of control Qin Feng became, the more he cared.

The more chips he holds, the more weighty they become.

"General Qin, cursing won't solve anything."

Ying Wuji shrugged, looking completely confident: "What have you thought about my conditions?"
