"Father, return to the Third Prince's residence and rest for a while. Allow me to deal with Duke Qin before I return to speak with you." Su Yu bid farewell to the Duke of Xianyu.
The Duke of Xianyu and Xia Linxuan's family were all arranged to stay at the Third Prince's residence, heavily guarded and safe.
Su Yu and the Third Prince led the troops in pursuit!
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, a scout reported, "Reporting to the Third Prince, Duke Qin's carriage is fleeing towards the Fenghuang Empire!"
The Third Prince immediately gave the order to give chase.
"Wait!" Su Yu stood on the horse's head, looking into the distance. His crystalline eyes were activated to the extreme.
After going through the baptism of the drastic changes, the range of his eyes had expanded from two miles to five miles.
Within five miles, all the movements and minute changes were within his grasp.
"The carriage heading towards the Fenghuang Empire is merely a cover. It is driven by a few servants. Duke Qin and his family are fleeing towards the northwest. Three miles away, they are driving an ox carriage, disguised as farmers and moving stealthily." Su Yu's gaze was deep and cold.
The Third Prince did not hesitate, "Northwest! Increase the speed and give chase! "
The scout was dumbfounded, deep in disbelief. How could a human's eyes observe the situation three miles away? Furthermore, Su Yu could even identify the other party's clothing.
But an hour later, the scout was convinced.
The pursuers intercepted an ox carriage, leaving behind only the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Duke Qin and Qin Feng, along with their important family members, boarded a large boat near the river.
The large boat traveled down the river, traveling a thousand miles in a day. They were not prepared, and it was difficult for them to pursue.
"Old Qin is really cunning. Looks like he left a way out for himself." The Third Prince lightly hammered his thigh, secretly furious.
The large boat had long left the shore. It was already 300 meters away from the shore.
The river was rapid and unfathomably deep, making it difficult to cross.
From 300 meters away, the Third Prince could even see Duke Qin and Qin Feng standing at the bow of the boat. Even though the father and son were in a sorry state, they had relaxed expressions, smiling at the helpless Third Prince.
Su Yu's eyes were cold. He would never forget the faces of this father and son.
"Pass down the order, seal off the waterways along the Jiang prefecture, and search through the night!" The Third Prince was filled with hatred. If he could not kill the Duke of Qin, it would be difficult for him to establish his authority. It would be detrimental to his ascension to the throne.
Su Yu calmly shook his head. "It's useless. Before we reach the county city, they will surely come ashore. I'm sure there are already vehicles waiting on the shore to escort them out of the empire."
How could the Third Prince not think about it? Marquess Qin was old and shrewd. He must have a complete plan for the future.
However, she was unwilling to let him escape just like that.
"However, some people think that they can sit back and relax after boarding a ship. They are really making a fool of themselves!" Su Yu slowly stood up and stood on the horse's head.
The Third Prince was puzzled. "What does Brother Su want?"
"Of course we're going to board the ship and capture them!" Su Yu stared coldly at the ship that was sailing away.
The Third Prince was shocked. "Could it be that Brother Su has a plan to cross the river? The water is deep and the waves are strong. It's hard for a small boat to sail. Only a big boat can chase after Marquess Qin. "
"Haha, why do I need a brilliant plan? I alone am enough!" Su Yu let out a long whistle, lightly nodded his horse's head, and flew across the river.
"Brother Su, quickly return!" The Third Prince was shocked. The river was treacherous. If Su Yu fell into it, if he was not adept at swimming, it would be difficult for him to survive.
However, what made the Third Prince's pupils dilate was …
At the moment when Su Yu was about to fall into the river, he lightly tapped the tip of his feet. Like a black swallow cutting through the surface of the river, he tapped the tip of his feet on the raging river and walked on the waves!
Thud, thud, thud —
The river water was turbulent, the waves raging.
Su Yu's figure was like an autumn swallow floating on the water, extremely agile.
The crowd could only see a purple human figure, like a ball of floating light, floating on the waves, leaving behind a series of purple afterimages as he walked on the water.
"Hiss … the rumored stepping on the water?"
"Is … is this really achievable by a human?"
The thousands of pursuers were all shocked.
The Third Prince's deep eyes flashed with a strange light. He softly muttered, "Stepping on the water like a swallow flying on the water, could it be … could this be the secret treasure of the royal family, Floating Light Shadow?"
Thinking back to the technique that Bai Qixiong had mysteriously given him, as well as how Su Yu had comprehended it on the spot, the Third Prince was even more shocked. He then let out a bitter smile, "The royal family's treasure has not been comprehended by anyone in a hundred years, but you only took an hour. It looks like it has been waiting for you."
The purple light flowed as he walked on the waves.
It was a magnificent and mysterious purple robe.
On the big ship, the crowd was shocked!
The expressions of the Duke of Qin and Qin Feng fell, their expressions changing, "Guards! Archers! "
However, Su Yu's body was as light as a swallow, calmly dodging the attacks. When he was thirty feet away, he tapped the tip of his feet, creating a wave as he turned into a purple phantom, spinning as he floated above the deck.
Clang —
The surrounding guards all drew their swords.
Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his purple robe floating. His deep black eyes shot out countless small swords.
Ah —
Ah —
In the blink of an eye, two rows of guards had fallen, leaving only the Duke of Qin and his son.
Su Yu turned his head, calmly glancing at the sailors in the cabin, "Row back! Or die. "
Creak —
The big ship turned and rowed back to the dock.
The Duke of Qin's expression changed, knowing that death was his only option. There was no way he could survive. His eyes stared at Su Yu. Because he had used too much force, his eyes were bulging and a bit ferocious.
Clenching his teeth, the Duke of Qin was furious, "Su Yu! My Qin family perished because of you. We should have helped the First Prince ascend to the throne, our family should have been prosperous, and our descendants should have been prosperous. Why did you have to kill us all? "
Listening to the sound of the waves, Su Yu had a leisurely expression, "Don't blame me for killing you all. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not giving me a way out back then."
"Stealing my girlfriend was my incompetence. I could tolerate the people who could not keep her."
"Plotting against me time and time again, I could tolerate the fact that I had no power or influence."
"But finding people to assassinate me, wanting to put me to death, I could not tolerate that!"
Every word was like a great bell, shaking the Duke of Qin's heart.
Who would have thought that the First Prince's great power would be destroyed in a day, all because of a lowly person?
Who would have thought that the Duke of Qin's family would perish, all because a disciple of the family had a lust for a woman and offended a commoner?
If he could turn back time, the Duke of Qin would definitely discipline the disciples of the family more strictly.
Unfortunately, it was all too late!
Qin Feng's heart was filled with grief, but more than that, he could not accept it.
The ant that he could kill with a finger in the past was now dictating his and his family's fate?
"Su! Yu! "Qin Feng's eyes were red, roaring in grief," Do you think you've won? "
With a clap of his hands, two guards carried a lady to the side of the ship.
The lady's hands were behind her back, and a giant rock was tied to her feet. If she were to be pushed off, she would sink into the river and die.
The lady was about fourteen years old, and her appearance was shockingly beautiful. She was like a fox fairy that had walked out of an ancient scroll, delicate and beautiful, unforgettable.
At that moment, the fox fairy girl looked haggard, her bright eyes filled with sorrow.
Staring at the raging river, she revealed a self-deprecating smile.
Ever since she came to the imperial capital, she had been placed under house arrest, unable to step out of her room.
From that moment on, she understood that in the eyes of the rich and powerful, she was merely a bargaining chip, a tool, a chess piece.
She had once naively thought that marrying into a rich and powerful family would bring her glory and wealth, and she would be above everyone else.
Only now did she realize her mistake.
Hearing the commotion, she glanced over, and Su Yu's purple figure entered her vision.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Xueqing's eyes stung. With a self-deprecating smile, she gently retracted her gaze, and a bitter tear rolled down her cheek.
Thinking back to her past with Su Yu, Jiang Xueqing let out a pitiful smile.
For glory and wealth, she had coldly severed her relationship with Su Yu, thinking that this was the way of a mature person.
After experiencing so many changes, she finally understood how childish and naive she had been back then.
She had given up her true feelings and chosen money. How ignorant, how willful, to do such a thing?
She no longer had the face to see Su Yu. In fact, in the last moments of her life, the person she did not want to see the most was Su Yu.
Because of guilt, because of remorse …
"Su Yu! Don't even think of getting what I, Qin Feng, cannot have! Push her down! "Qin Feng laughed, as if he had gotten his revenge.
Splash —
Jiang Xueqing was pushed into the furious river.
Su Yu's eyes were calm. His purple shadow flew past like a floating light and passing shadow, like a graceful swan gliding across the surface of a river.
Jiang Xueqing, who had fallen into the river, was pulled back by him.
Whoosh —
Back on the ship, Su Yu was not wet, while Jiang Xueqing's body was covered in the icy cold river water.
It was early winter, and the river water was cold. Jiang Xueqing's delicate body was shivering.
Whoosh —
He took off his Purple Cloud Dust Avoidance Robe and draped it over Jiang Xueqing, untying her limbs.
Without looking at her, Su Yu flew into the cabin and executed the remaining guards.
Finally, only the Duke of Qin and his son were left.
"Su Yu, I admit defeat! Kill me or torture me, do as you wish! "The Duke of Qin knew that death was inevitable, and instead accepted his fate.
Su Yu shook his head, looking at the Third Prince, who was about to reach the shore, and smiled. "No need! Someone will naturally execute you. "
The Third Prince had helped Su Yu a lot. Su Yu had promised that if he obtained the crown, he would help him seize the throne.
Now, handing the Duke of Qin over to him for him to deal with would greatly help him seize the throne.
Suddenly, Su Yu felt his waist tighten.
A pair of jade-like hands hugged Su Yu from behind.
A cold, drenched, and shivering delicate body was pressed against his back.
Soft sobs reverberated behind him, like a helpless person clutching at the last straw in their lives. She hugged Su Yu tightly, unwilling to let go.
"What is the meaning of this?" Creasing his brows, Su Yu was about to use his hidden energy to push Jiang Xueqing away.
"I'm cold." Jiang Xueqing's tone was mournful, stubbornly hugging Su Yu.
After some hesitation, Su Yu silently sighed. In the end, he withdrew his hidden energy. Bolts of vital energy quietly entered Jiang Xueqing's body, dispelling the cold.
Even when they reached the shore, Jiang Xueqing still hugged Su Yu's arm, unwilling to let go.
The Third Prince looked at Jiang Xueqing. If he remembered correctly, she should be the girl who had abandoned Su Yu for Qin Feng, Jiang Xueqing.
It was rumored that she had once been Su Yu's sweetheart. Now that it was time to repent, did she want to return to Su Yu's side?
The Third Prince secretly shook his head. Putting aside the fact that Su Yu was loyal and would never let Qin Xianer down, with Su Yu's current reputation, Jiang Xueqing was no longer worthy of him.
As a martial artist, it would be difficult for Jiang Xueqing to catch up to him in terms of cultivation.
"Get her a horse," the Third Prince ordered.
Jiang Xueqing buried her head in her chest, hugging Su Yu's arm tightly. She shook her head resolutely, "No need, I will only be with Su Yu."
Su Yu creased his brows, his heart filled with disgust. Now that things have come to this, do you think that I will accept you again?
Just as he was about to push her away, Jiang Xueqing's faint voice entered his ears, "I know that I have no face to see you. I will not beg for your forgiveness, and I will not pester you. But, can you let me stay by your side for a little longer? For the sake of the fact that we used to be childhood sweethearts. "
Childhood friends?
Deep within Su Yu's soul, there was a throbbing sensation. After completely merging with Su Yu's soul, some of the emotions hidden deep within his soul were also accepted by Su Yu.
