Chapter 269 The Feng Family Will Never Surrender

In the curling warm smoke, four screens with flowers, birds and mountains and waters surrounded the scene. A graceful figure was sitting in the middle playing the piano. The person playing the piano was the former Concubine Rou, now the Queen Mother of Tonglu Kingdom, Leng Ying.

At the previous banquet, Pei Shixi deliberately mentioned her outstanding piano skills. Sure enough, Master Yuezun's eyes rolled, and he maliciously proposed that she demonstrate her piano skills in public. She was the empress dowager of the Tonglu New Dynasty, and this was clearly an opportunity to humiliate her. Leng Ying just acted reluctantly but did not dare to disobey, with an embarrassed look on her face, but she smiled coldly in her heart.

The guqin was set up and screens were put up on all four sides. After all, she was still the queen mother of a country, so we had to give her some respect, and also keep some dignity for the Tonglu court.

Of course, this was just a superficial reason given to Xiyuehan. In reality, there was a screen between them, making it difficult for Xiyuehan to see clearly, and it was difficult for him to detect the mystery hidden in the guqin.

The ancient wood exudes a warm luster, and there is nothing unusual on the surface. However, inside the specially made body of the instrument lies a bow, a magical bow that carries infinite hope for the Feng clan.

Leng Ying practiced the magic archery technique hard, enduring the severe pain of passing on the skills to clear the meridians and rebuild the muscles and bones, all for this night, this moment!
Now among the dazzling fireworks in the sky, there was a touch of red light that symbolized a great victory. Pei Shixi knew that they had won the bloody battle at the mountain gate. Xi Yuehan's group of Shura soldiers should have lost seven or eight, so they had a better chance of winning tonight's game of Fuxue!
So he intentionally proposed to let Leng Ying perform a dance. As soon as he finished speaking and Xi Yuehan hadn't responded yet, the Yue Zun State Master beside him smiled contemptuously and said something with a hidden meaning:
"She plays the zither and dances. The Queen Mother of Tonglu Kingdom is really a versatile and beautiful woman. No wonder she was able to seduce the old Emperor Dongmu in the past, and now has Prime Minister Pei at her beck and call. This country teacher really admires her."

There was an extremely humiliating and mocking tone in these words, but Pei Shixi remained calm and smiled, "The Imperial Master is right. Then let this beautiful lady dance for the King and the Imperial Master!"

The ethereal and melodious sound of the zither suddenly stopped. The zither with a simple and elegant shape was held in Leng Ying's arms, becoming the embellishment of her stunning dance. She danced gracefully with the zither in her arms, her clothes fluttering. Her figure on the screen was graceful and hazy, which made people more imaginative.

The Yue Zun National Master was so amazed that he kept laughing and said, "Excellent, excellent!"

Xiyuehan, who was sitting on the first seat, also raised the corner of his lips slightly. He drank fine wine while admiring the Queen Mother of Tonglu Kingdom performing a dance for Chi Nu, with a condescending look in his blue pupils.

Pei Shixi saw the whole scene, and he was very happy. He had been waiting for this moment, the moment when Xi Yuehan was the most complacent, the most relaxed, and the most defenseless!
"How is it, does the Queen Mother's dancing style please the King and the Imperial Master?"

Pei Shixi stood up with a glass of wine in his hand, stepped onto the steps slightly drunkenly, bent over to approach Xi Yuehan in a flattering manner, with a smile on his face:

"Tonglu sincerely formed an alliance with Chinu. Tonight, Your Majesty will attend the Fuxue Feast. I am extremely delighted and would like to offer a toast to Your Majesty!"

Seeing Pei Shixi's fawning look, Xi Yuehan sneered and clinked glasses with him, then raised the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"As the old year is about to come and the new year is approaching, the Feng family has a great gift to give to the king."

Pei Shixi raised his hand as he spoke, and slammed the wine glass in his hand heavily in front of Xi Yuehan. His sleepy and drunken eyes suddenly opened wide, emitting a gleam of light filled with murderous intent!

Throwing the cup is the signal, start now!
"My tribe's goddess presents a great gift!"

In a flash, the mechanism of the hidden weapon box in his sleeve moved, and poisonous smoke erupted within a short distance, carrying countless poisonous needles and shooting towards Xi Yuehan. Leng Ying, who was dancing with a zither in her arms behind the screen, also turned the zither over and struck with a palm. The zither instantly broke into pieces, revealing the Wanyue Divine Bow hidden inside!

Without any hesitation, Leng Ying drew the bowstring, and while Pei Shixi suddenly attacked and Xi Yuehan was shocked and unable to dodge, she shot an arrow at his head!
All this happened in a flash, so fast that people could not react at all, and this arrow seemed to have been rehearsed countless times, it was fast and fierce, with an earth-shaking power, and went straight towards Xi Yuehan!

"Be careful, your Majesty!"

National Master Yuezun screamed and his face changed drastically. Xi Yuehan was hit by several poisonous needles, but he gritted his teeth and dodged quickly to the side, finally avoiding the fatal arrow shot by Leng Ying. However, his shoulder and cheek were scratched, and strange blue blood flowed out.

He had already completely transformed into a demon, with a body that was invulnerable to swords and spears, but at this moment he was injured and bleeding. It was because Zuo Chong's strange poison took effect, and also because Leng Ying's arrow was so powerful!
"Protect the king, quickly!" The scream of Master Yue Zun resounded throughout the venue. In the chaos, countless Shura soldiers rushed up to protect Xi Yuehan. Seeing that Pei Shixi missed the attack, he had to roll over and dodge the long swords wielded by several Shura soldiers, and retreated to Leng Ying's side.

A large number of troops suddenly emerged from the darkness. They were elite soldiers in iron armor and stood behind them with great momentum. The face of the leader was very familiar to Xi Yuehan. It was -

He should have been guarding Youzhou at the moment, but now he appeared at this Fuxue Banquet. He is the current deputy prime minister of Tonglu Kingdom, Lan Yubai.

The wind and snow were howling, and under the vast sky, Xi Yuehan looked at the scene in disbelief.

The black-gold Moon Crown on his head that symbolized his identity as the King of Red Slave was also shot away. At this moment, half of his long hair fell down, blue flame blood was flowing on his face, and a faint blue light was flashing between his flying hair, making him look extremely ghostly and more like a terrifying blue monster.

"Pei Shixi, do you want to kill me?"

Xi Yuehan's blue eyes scanned the entire place, and finally landed on Pei Shixi. He understood everything and sneered:
"What a good plan, what a good method, it's worth your endurance of humiliation, tonight turned out to be a trap!"

After the situation became clear, Xi Yuehan calmed down instead. He even thought of something and raised the corners of his lips in a mocking tone, as if he found it funny:
"Pei Shixi, I misjudged you. I thought you and I would be on the same page and work together to accomplish great things. It's really... a pity."

"It's nothing to regret, Xi Yuehan. You are cruel and bloodthirsty, and you have turned into a demon through alchemy. You are no longer human. I didn't want to break up with you so early, but you just want to touch my Feng clan. Naturally, I will not let you go. I will set a trap to make sure you never return!"

Pei Shixi stood in the snow, changing his previous pretended flattering look, raised his head slightly, and stood proudly.

"My Feng family will never surrender and will never bow down to jackals and villains, no matter if it was hundreds of years ago or hundreds of years from now!"

The powerful words echoed in the Qingli Mountains, just like hundreds of years ago when Feng Qiyun led his people to leave Yunzhou Island fearlessly and resolutely in order to save them from the tyranny of Kuang Heng.

"You damn Feng family, you, you are a bunch of stupid traitors!"

Yue Zun National Master was extremely angry. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lan Yubai who was beside Pei Shixi and said loudly:

"Vice Prime Minister Lan, my country's teacher has always respected you as a smart man. Are you going to risk your life with these idiots? If you are willing to make a new choice now and turn from darkness to light, our king will not treat you unfairly. You are now the monarch of the Tonglu Dynasty and the most steadfast ally of the Chinu tribe. In the future, half of the world we conquer will be divided into your Lan family. Power, wealth, and hegemony are all in your hands!"

"That sounds good. The Lan family has been doing business in Youzhou for a hundred years and has never done business at a loss."

Lan Yubai stood with his hands behind his back, still looking elegant and good-tempered in the wind and snow. He smiled lazily, pressed the sword at his waist, and tapped the scabbard lightly with his slender fingers a few times, as if he was hesitating and thinking deeply.

Yue Zun State Master was delighted, thinking that Lan Yubai was persuaded by his words. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Vice President Lan is more aware of current affairs. From today on..."

But before he could finish his words, Lan Yubai had already drawn his sword, and the cold tip of the sword was pointed at him!
"It's a pity, Master State Master, the conditions you offer will tempt the You and Lan families, but not the Helan family. The Helan family does not seek power, wealth, or ambition. There is only one ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation in my family, and that is to swear allegiance to the Feng family until death, and to form a hundred-year alliance until death!"

"You, you are simply courting your own death, you are so stupid!"

Yue Zun State Master had never expected to get this answer, and he clenched his fists in anger. Xi Yuehan was not surprised at all, he just looked at Pei Shixi and smiled coldly:
"Pei Shixi, you have been smart all your life, but do you really want to give up your alliance with me and the great cause that is within your grasp just for the sake of your so-called 'clan members'? Is it worth it?"
