Chapter 1710: Chapter 1711: If I Can’t Have It, No One Else Can

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the siege.

Qi Weimeng brought a group of people through the tunnel into the Imperial City of Dongqing, cooperating with Qi Tengfei who was attacking from outside, and it was also during Qi Tengfei’s attack that an internal conflict erupted within the Dongqing army.

Actually, it wasn’t really an internal conflict; it was just that those disguised as Dongqing soldiers from the Slayer Tower began to draw their swords and fiercely slay the Dongqing soldiers.

Anyway, the final result was that Qi Tengfei and his men hardly needed to attack, as the east, south, west, and north gates of the Imperial City of Dongqing were opened from within by people from the Slayer Tower.

Once these were opened, Qi Tengfei and his men rushed in, joining the battle within the city.

Xiao Changyi and An Jing did not participate in the siege; they went directly to the south gate of the Dongqing Imperial Palace, accompanied by Meng Lanqing, Gong Juese, Tobanya, Qin Yi, Qin Er, and others.

It was a masked man who led them to go through this door, and before they reached the south gate, from a distance, Xiao Changyi and his group saw that the gate’s commanding officer was impersonating Meng Lanqing.

Since Meng Lanqing was right beside them, they immediately realized that the person was in disguise.

Xiao Changyi and his group didn’t feel much about it, but Meng Lanqing had many complaints.

”Why did you disguise as me again? Did I offend you?” Meng Lanqing asked, quite pissed off. Looking at the person who looked exactly like him, he felt truly irritated.

”You didn’t offend me; I just thought you look pretty good,” said the Right Protector with an indifferent tone, as if nothing could stir his emotions.

Meng Lanqing: ”...” Even more irritating... He hated it when others said he looked good! Might as well not ask!

The Right Protector didn’t speak to Meng Lanqing any further, instead turning his gaze to Xiao Changyi, saying calmly, ”Young Master Xiao, I’ve taken care of the outskirts of the Imperial Palace for you. For the inner circle, I lend you forty men, hoping you can personally deal with your enemies.”

Originally, they could have resolved all of it, but their Building Master said that Xiao Changyi likely wanted to personally get rid of Dongfang Tianyang, so they didn’t go all the way.

After the Right Protector finished speaking, forty masked men, each holding an extremely sharp Longsword, surrounded Xiao Changyi from behind.

Xiao Changyi glanced at those forty people and then bowed to the Right Protector, saying, ”Thank you.”

In the inner circle of the Dongqing Imperial Palace, there were Imperial Guards and a large number of guards, each quite skilled.

If Xiao Changyi and his group of eight were to handle so many people, wanting to win, it wasn’t completely impossible, but it was extremely difficult. Now, with the support of forty masked men, they were like tigers with wings, making the Imperial Guards and those guards no match for them.

They slaughtered their way to the bottom of the steps leading to the Assembly Hall of Dongqing.

Atop the high steps, Dongfang Tianyang stood in his Dragon Robe, hands behind his back, condescendingly looking down at Xiao Changyi and his group who had reached the bottom of the steps. Surrounding him were ten or so loyal guards willing to die for him.

Xiao Changyi did not ascend immediately but stood at the foot of the steps.

An Jing stood beside Xiao Changyi.

”An Jing,” Dongfang Tianyang’s line of sight first fell not on Xiao Changyi, but on An Jing. ”I regret now. I shouldn’t have kidnapped you back then; I should have directly killed you, making you eternally separated from him. That way, ha ha... If I can’t have you, no one else should either.”

An Jing merely thought Dongfang Tianyang was sick.

”Su Changyi,” finally, Dongfang Tianyang looked at Xiao Changyi, ”Dongqing has fallen by my hand; I admit that, but I absolutely refuse to admit defeat to you.”
