Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 295 It's time for everything to end

Xiao Yuxuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he saw through the opponent's intention at a glance. He sheathed his sword, moved his feet, and followed closely behind him like a ghost, using his unparalleled lightness skills to catch up.

At the moment when the man in black was about to reach the edge of the cliff, Xiao Yuxuan had already stood on the other side, with a faint smile on his face, and his voice was gentle but majestic: "Friend, there is no need to run away anymore, everything should be over."

Before he finished speaking, he smiled lightly, and swung his arms freely like a dragon emerging from the sea. His powerful internal force burst out like a mountain torrent, carrying with it an incomparable pressure, and violently struck the two people in front of him.

The force was so strong that it was like a raging wave, sweeping over them in an instant, not only knocking the two men to the ground, but also drawing two sad and beautiful arcs in the air, and they fell powerlessly like fallen leaves.

The enemy in black had bright red blood gushing out of his mouth. Blood was flowing slowly from the corners of his mouth, adding a bit of cruelty and despair.

Xiao Yuxuan remembered Xiao Zhixue's past teachings, and when he was in close combat with the enemy, he spoke briefly and to the point, not wasting any time on meaningless words, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the gap to adjust his breath and counterattack.

Therefore, his movements were as agile as a cheetah. He spun his body and twisted and pulled his wrists lightly, as if dancing gracefully. Unintentionally, he removed the joints of the black man's arms and ankles with incredible precision. His movements were so fast that it was astonishing.

The man in black was filled with fear and despair deep in his heart. He secretly knew that he could not escape this fate today. He clenched his teeth and was about to sacrifice himself, bite the poison sac hidden between his teeth, and make a final desperate struggle. However, he did not expect that Xiao Yuxuan's eyes were as sharp as torches and his actions were as fast as lightning. One hand cleverly and powerfully locked his jaw, like an iron clamp, making any slight movement of his in vain.

Yao Wei had already been severely injured by the first blow, and now he was completely powerless. He could only watch his fate being controlled by others.

"Tie them up tightly and bring them back to the palace. Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make the final decision."

Xiao Yuxuan's voice was calm and firm, revealing unquestionable majesty.

The soldiers accompanying the emperor acted upon hearing the order, quickly took out thick and tough ropes, and skillfully and quickly tied up the two surrendered enemies. Each knot was so unbreakable, showing the professionalism and efficiency of the palace guards.

As the night deepened, Fan Yanmu returned to the palace under the stars, thinking of Xiao Zhixue.

Knowing that his beloved wife had already had dinner by herself, her casual eating habits always made him feel distressed and helpless. She ate when she was hungry, regardless of the time, but this was also part of her unique charm.

That night, everything was quiet. The couple lay side by side on the couch, and the topic naturally turned to what happened during the day with Yao Wei and the mysterious man in black.

"Today, Yao Wei and the unknown man in black were both captured. Guess who did it?"

Fan Yanmu asked softly with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

The first thing that came to Xiao Zhixue's mind was Xiao Yuze. After all, Fan Yanmu had mentioned Xiao Yuze's arrival in the morning, so she blurted out, "Is it Brother Yuze's credit?"

"No, it was Xiao Yuxuan who did it. I reported everything that happened the day before yesterday to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Your brothers were all present at the time. After some discussion, everyone agreed that Xiao Yuxuan, who has outstanding martial arts skills, would be the most suitable person to take action."

Fan Yanmu explained, his tone revealing his recognition and satisfaction with Xiao Yuxuan.

Xiao Zhixue nodded slightly, agreeing with this arrangement, and then curiously asked: "Did those two reveal the mastermind behind this?"

"Not yet. The man in black is as hard as iron and refuses to give in at all."

Fan Yanmu shook his head and replied, looking a little helpless.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhixue rolled her eyes involuntarily, her tone was three parts teasing and seven parts confident: "How could you forget that I still have a Manifestation Pill hidden here? Take one, and I guarantee he will speak obediently."

Fan Yanmu suddenly realized what was going on and laughed at himself, "Alas, my memory has really gotten worse recently. I'll have someone send the medicine over tomorrow morning."

Xiao Zhixue got out of bed lightly, walked to the medicine cabinet, and took out a small porcelain bottle. The bottle was as white as snow, and holding it in her hand was like holding a ray of moonlight.

She returned to the bedside and handed the porcelain bottle to Fan Yanmu, her eyes full of concern and trust.

Fan Yanmu took it solemnly and put the small medicine bottle carefully into the purse on his waist, as if he was putting away not only the medicine, but also the deep affection and tacit understanding between husband and wife.

After saying good night to each other, the two fell asleep in each other's arms. In the quiet night, only the sound of each other's breathing mixed together, warm and peaceful.

In the blink of an eye, time passed quickly and the bell of the second year of Kangzhong rang quietly. Xiao Zhixue was already seven or eight months pregnant, with a bulging belly, becoming the focus of attention of everyone in the palace.

Princess An and Fan Mingrui were increasingly worried about her health, and even Fan Yanmu, who was busy with all kinds of affairs, never forgot to give her the most gentle care.

At the same time, the rebels in Yizhou joined forces with Daliang's 200,000 elite troops, eyeing the situation with a covetous intent to move eastward and invade Jingzhou.

Xiao Wang and Teng Xuan were given the task at hand and quickly assembled a hundred thousand troops in Jingzhou to prepare for the coming bloody storm.

As soon as the new year arrived, Emperor Kang Zhong quickly made arrangements and sent Duke Protector of the Country Luo Qifeng to lead 150,000 elite troops to the north for support. A war of unprecedented scale seemed to be imminent and was about to break out.

As the person in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and fodder, Fan Yanmu has been hardly seen these days and is extremely busy.

Xiao Zhixue was well aware of the heavy burden on her husband's shoulders, and with the careful care of her personal maid Sizhu, although she was worried, she was also relieved.

In this tense and delicate atmosphere, on a moonlit night, An Lan walked lightly into the room.

As Qingyao's favorite student, her martial arts skills are already extraordinary. After Qingyao's careful training, not only her skills have improved, but she has also inherited Qingyao's responsibility and mission.

"My Lady, the latest information is that Pan Zhuoqing has taken Pan Xiatong back to Chengyang County, Kangzhou, and brought her to Pan Luonan. Unfortunately, I heard that Pan Xiatong's condition has worsened, and I'm afraid she won't survive this year."

An Lan reported softly, unable to hide a trace of worry in her expression.

Xiao Zhixue was not too surprised by the news. She looked at An Lan calmly, and asked casually, "What is the attitude of the Tan family towards this?"

An Lan pondered for a moment and replied, "I originally remembered Mr. Li's previous reminder and didn't want Pan Xiatong to return to the Su family, but for some reason, the Tan family finally agreed to let her go back."

As they were talking, Siqin came in hurriedly and reported: "Princess, the wife of the prince of the Fuguo Mansion came to visit with her children."

"Hey, it's been so long, and you only remember me now. Humph, let her in."

Although Xiao Zhixue complained, she was secretly happy in her heart.

Because of her pregnancy, Xiao Zhixue did not step out of the house during the entire Spring Festival, and she was looking forward to having her good sisters come to visit her.

Now, friends such as Luo Weiwei and Huang Leyao have come to visit, but Han Yuexi is nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Zhixue knew in her heart that Luo Weiwei and the others were not married yet, so they still had plenty of time and it would be convenient for them to visit relatives and friends.

In comparison, Han Yuexi's situation is much more complicated.
