The most important thing.
Its chain is exceedingly thin, with little wind sound when it moves, almost impossible to evade.
Even more mysterious is that you can’t see it at all, nor do you know from which direction it attacks.
Therefore.
Yang Chenyi watched his surroundings warily, but ultimately could not discern where the weapon was.
In fact, he didn’t even know how Hai Tang flew out just now.
Just at the moment when the Life-Seizing Hook was about to catch Yang Chenyi.
A critical moment.
Suddenly, a dark figure leaped up from the ground.
Like a nimble bat in the night, swiftly soaring into the sky, and once again heavily crashing in front of the Chu Dynasty warriors.
’Puff!’
Hai Tang spat out a mouthful of blood and lay motionless on the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Xia Tingfeng and Yang Chenyi swiftly dismounted.
"Hai Tang!"
"Hai Tang!"
The two spoke in unison, their voices trembling, slightly tearing.
Xia Tingfeng lifted Hai Tang’s head, and Yang Chenyi stepped forward to help.
The two of them clumsily lifted her to a flat piece of ground, frantically calling for the military doctor.
Yang He saw his son nearly lose his life.
Anger surged from his heart, and he immediately led his troops to attack the Western Xia villain, Hai Xiangjin.
Hai Xiangjin, having expended much energy using the Life-Seizing Hook,
felt overmatched and led his men to desperately charge through the ring of fire.
There was no choice.
Failing to break through meant death, breaking through meant survival, so fight desperately!
...
With Rat’s Fire Attack brilliant strategy.
Western Xia’s 80,000 elite troops suffered heavy casualties.
Hai Xiangjin, along with two nephews and some defeated troops, were nowhere to be found after breaking through the fire wall encirclement.
After sunrise, the Chu Dynasty cleaned up the battlefield, shrouded in thick smoke.
Successfully seized the Western Xia camps, military supplies, and all belongings.
The army paused for a brief rest there.
Inside the luxurious Western Xia tent they had captured.
Hai Tang lay covered in blood on the bed.
All the Chu officers stood guard at her side.
Everyone felt genuine admiration for the actions of this foreign heroine.
Especially Great General Yang He.
He stood at the very front of the bed.
Facing his former subordinate, he felt sincere guilt and regret.
"Princess Hai Tang!"
"Thank you for saving my son’s life, please accept my bow!"
After speaking, he knelt on one knee in gratitude.
Hai Tang coughed on the bed, a stream of fresh blood flowing from her neck, shocking to behold.
She uneasily shook her head slightly.
"No! Please don’t!"
"Hai Tang, don’t speak anymore!" Xia Tingfeng couldn’t help but step forward and urge her softly.
Hai Tang shook her head with a smile.
"No harm!"
"I... I am... not dying yet!"
"General Yang!"
"You are... truly the Great General, Young Master Yang... is my... good brother!"
"To meet you all, I am... very... fortunate!"
Yang Chenyi’s eyes were red as he helped his father up and then knelt on one knee again, bowing to his savior.
Hai Tang helplessly closed her eyes.
"No... please... no more bowing!"
"Okay, I won’t bow anymore!"
Yang Chenyi stood up, biting back his sobs.
"You rascal, get better soon; I heard Bai Fang Pavilion has some fresh-faced oirans!"
"When the time comes, I’ll treat, and we’ll drink for three days and nights!"
Hai Tang nodded with a smile.
"Alright! I promise you!"
Deputy General Cui and Deputy General Qin quietly shed tears on the side.
Tiger couldn’t hold back, the burly nine-foot-tall man wept loudly.
"What the hell is with you?!"
"You promised to find me some beautiful women in Western Xia to be my wives!"
"I’ve been waiting for years and haven’t seen it, are you trying to renege?!"
Hai Tang coughed a few times, breathed erratically, and laughed while gasping haphazardly.
"No!"
"How could I break my word?!"
"There are many beauties in the royal palace; whatever you want, let my brother..."
"No! I want your choice!"
Tiger interrupted her sobbing.
"You promised to find me a wife, officiate for me, be the godmother to my son, and now you want to renege?!"
"I’m telling you, no way!"
Hai Tang seemed helpless.
She wanted to say more, but unfortunately, she was too tired, choked a few times, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and her demeanor grew more dazed.
Tiger, seeing her like this, really couldn’t bear it and roared as he ran out.
Rat stepped forward and, after looking around helplessly, wiped his tears and followed out.
It wasn’t speechless, it was truly unbearable to look, so painful it was hard to breathe.
They were all people of emotion, once the best of brothers!
How are they to accept this?!
Yang He took Yang Chenyi and left as well.
Some things are just too heartbreaking to watch.
Deputy General Cui and Deputy General Qin also followed out successively.
Although they didn’t have much interaction with this Western Xia princess, in all seriousness, they have known each other for many years.
