Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 650: Cheng (3)

Lou Qianlan looked at her decisive words, feeling a chill in his heart, "Is there really no room for turning back? I do not wish to be enemies with the empress."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuxu laughed mockingly, "Not wish to be enemies? Then why did you drug my people unconscious? Not wish to be enemies? Why have you spoken rudely to me? Not wish to be enemies? Why then did you insult my husband!"

"I did not insult Dugu Chen," Lou Qianbi retorted, staring with bloodshot eyes, defending himself.

Feng Xuxu glanced at him with contempt and coldly uttered, turning to look at a man in black, then made her way to Yingsu’s side. Her wide sleeves drew a splendid arc as Yingsu finally came around.

"Your Highness, you are awake." Yingsu lifted her head from the soft couch, blinking her weary eyes and, swaying, she rose to her feet. When she saw two other people in the courtyard, her surprise turned to fury, and she advanced towards them angrily, pointing, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Feng Xuxu waved her hand, "Go and splash water on all of them to wake them up."

Yingsu looked at them angrily, then at the people strewn haphazardly around the courtyard, realizing she had been drugged into unconsciousness rather than simply asleep. Heeding her mistress’s orders, she hurried off to do so.

"Empress, I came here with sincere intentions to discuss a cooperation that would benefit both of us," Lou Qianlan insisted.

"No need," Feng Xuxu dismissed.

Lou Qianlan clenched his fist tightly; it was the second time the empress had refused him outright. His eyes swelled with emotion as he gnashed his teeth and pointed at her, "Don’t take my kindness for weakness, or else I will make you perish in a foreign land."

"Hmph, I would like to see whether it’s you who makes me die in a foreign land, or I who leaves you to die in your own," Feng Xuxu retorted.

Lou Qianlan looked at the people gathering around her, their eyes like eagles’, fixated on him. He instead laughed even more heartily, "With such a commotion in your palace, yet no one comes. Have you not noticed?"

"So what? I have never depended on others for my survival," Feng Xuxu said carelessly, shaking her wide sleeves.

Lou Qianlan sneered coldly, "Just hope you can be as tough in your words in a while."

"We shall see!" Feng Xuxu spun on her feet and, like a swan taking flight, leapt to a large tree behind her, sat on a branch, crossed her legs, and watched the scene unfold below with a smile, "Go on then, let’s see if, as he says, I will die in a foreign land."

The people on the ground, including the Iron Cavalry Army, Feng Qing, Mei Lenglei, and others, all looked uniformly at the two people in front of them. Lou Qianlan, with a wave of his wide sleeves, suddenly had a group of men appear around him, surrounding Lou Qianlan and Lou Qianbi menacingly, charging forward with lethal moves.

Feng Qing unsheathed his soft weapon, lightly tapped the ground with his foot, and, like lightning, charged swiftly forward, killing two men with a single strike. Mei Lenglei produced his treasured Flames Tongue Whip, moving agilely through the crowd, his whip crackling as if it had eyes, viciously striking at them. Even those who evaded the lash found it hard to fend off the returning strikes.

The Iron Cavalry Army lived up to their reputation of having been through battles with Dugu Chen, striking quickly, fiercely, precisely, never affording their foes a chance to catch their breath.

Seeing his own men being defeated, Lou Qianlan was greatly vexed, and the murderous aura on his face became even more intense. Naturally, Lou Qianbi could feel his older brother’s rage and volunteered eagerly, "Big brother, let me deal with her."

Lou Qianlan knew exactly who ’her’ referred to, pondered for a moment, then finally nodded heavily, "Be careful."

Lou Qianbi released a contemptuous laugh instead, "That woman will be an easy catch! Just watch, big brother."
