The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 39: The Death of Duanmu Shuang

Views:

Seeing that the army's morale was unstable, Duanmu Shuang became anxious.

"Don't listen to her monstrous words to confuse the public. There is no such thing as the Suzaku. The Suzaku is just a legend..."

Duanmu Xi's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Before Duan Muxi could take action, Hong Ling sprayed out a big fireball towards Duanmu Xi below.

"ah… "

After the shrill screams, only a charred corpse remained.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't make a sound.

Prince Jing actually died like this, and a master of the Xuanzun level was killed instantly.

The rebels were all despairing at this moment.

Duanmuxi looked at the commotion below, and the cold voice sounded again.

"You haven't surrendered yet, do you want to accept the punishment of the Suzaku beast like her?"

Hearing the word "punishment", everyone immediately thought of Duanmu Shuang's miserable state. They all trembled, hurriedly dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and kept pleading.

"God Suzaku, please calm down..."

"Master Suzaku, have mercy on me..."

Suddenly someone among the defenders shouted, "Her Royal Highness is back."

"Long live your Royal Highness, long live your Royal Highness..."

Everyone cheered.

"Xi'er."

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi on Suzaku's back infatuatedly.

It's Xi'er!

His Xi'er is back safely, great!

"Xi'er!"

Duanmuxue and Huangfuche shouted excitedly.

Duan Muxi flew down from Hong Ling and knelt down directly in front of the two of them.

"Father, mother, Xi'er is back."

Seeing Duanmuxi's actions, Duanmuxue's eyes instantly turned red.

"Xi'er, you are finally back."

"Get up quickly and come back."

Huangfu Che stepped forward and pulled Duan Muxi up, with an excited look on his face.

Duanmu Xi stood up, looked at the two of them and said guiltily: "As long as my father and mother are fine, this is all my fault. I should have told you earlier that it was Duanmu Shuang and Duanmu Qing who harmed me in the first place, so you should be careful of her earlier. "

After Duanmuqing died, she wanted to remind them to be careful about Duanmushuang, but she never had the chance to speak.

Duanmuxue stepped forward and patted Duanmuxi on the shoulder.

"How can I blame you? I have been aware of Duanmu Shuang's ambition for a long time. It's just that I don't pay attention to her small military strength. I didn't expect that she would collude with the Xuanwu Kingdom to rebel."

That woman actually killed so many people for her own selfish reasons.

Duan Muxi turned around to find Xuanyuan Mo, and saw that he was looking at her intently, with the corners of his lips slightly raised unconsciously, and she slowly walked towards him.

"Axue, I'm back."

Xuanyuan Mo felt an unreal feeling when he looked at the woman he had longed for before.

He reached out and touched her fair face.

"Xi'er..."

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Mo hugged Duanmu Xi into his arms.

He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his own marrow and blood.

Duan Muxi felt Xuanyuan Mo's excitement and uneasiness, but she didn't cry out in pain and just let him hold her quietly.

"Xi'er, I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."

The gentle murmuring in her ear made Duanmuxi shy and extremely sweet at the same time.

"Me too."

Those three words instantly made Xuanyuan Mo's heart burst with joy, and the hand holding her tightened unconsciously.

His Xi'er is also thinking of him, which is great...

Duanmuxue and Huangfu Che looked at the two of them loving each other and smiled at each other.

Xi'er has grown up and it's time to marry a husband.

It seems that they have time to go to the White Tiger Country to meet Mo Xiaozi's parents. Although it may be difficult, but their Xi'er is so good, maybe they will agree.

The cheers of the people continued.

"Long live your Royal Highness..." once again spread throughout the entire Kyoto city.

The princess, who had been missing for three years, once again stood in front of them with a superb attitude, letting them look up to her and worship her.

Since then, there have been several more legends about the mythical beast Suzaku.

Legend has it that the Suzaku mythical beast really appeared in Kyoto City...

Legend has it that a fairy in white once appeared on the back of the Suzaku beast...

Legend has it that the mythical beast Suzaku appeared and quelled the rebellion...

To these people, the mythical beast Suzaku will always remain a legend.

Xuanwu Kingdom, Xuanwu Hall.

A young man in a yellow python robe is sitting on the chair to the left of the dragon chair, but there is no one on the dragon chair.

The man appeared to be in his twenties, and he was not bad looking, but he had indulged in drinking and sex for many years, and his body was exhausted by drinking and sex, and he looked depressed.

This person is the regent of Xuanwu Kingdom, Zhuge Weiming.

All the ministers below were whispering.

"Why doesn't the little emperor come to the morning court today?"

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you come or not. All national affairs are decided by the regent."

"I heard that the little emperor is sick."

While everyone was whispering, an eunuch took a step forward.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

"Report..."

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, a soldier in a battle robe hurriedly entered the Xuanwu Hall, "The Qinglong Kingdom's army is pressing down and has now arrived at Dongling City."

"Report..."

Another soldier wearing a battle robe hurriedly entered the main hall, "The White Tiger Kingdom's army is pressing on the border and has now reached Sanchuan."

When Zhuge Weiming heard the report from the two soldiers, he was so shocked that he stood up from his chair.

"Is there going to be a war?"

The soldier lowered his eyes, "Not yet, just setting up camp a few hundred miles outside Dongling City."

"Not here either, but troops arrive at Sanchuan City every day." Another soldier also said.

After hearing the answer, Zhuge Weiming paced back and forth anxiously.

"Why did these two countries suddenly come to the city with troops but did not attack the city? What is the meaning of this?"

A white-haired old man took a step forward with a jade sign in his hand.

"Reporting to the regent, I think this must be related to our country sending troops to attack the Suzaku Kingdom."

Zhuge Weiming raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How do you say this?"

"As we all know, the Suzaku Kingdom and the Qinglong Kingdom are related by marriage. When the Qinglong Kingdom's crown prince married the Suzaku Kingdom's Queen, it caused a sensation in the four countries. Although there was little contact between the two countries later, the old emperor of the Qinglong Kingdom was very protective of his shortcomings. When his troops came to the city, he did not attack the city. They want us to withdraw our troops.”

Zhuge Weiming nodded.

"It makes some sense, but what does the White Tiger Kingdom mean? They probably have nothing to do with the Suzaku Kingdom."

"This..." The white-haired old man frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Another slightly younger minister stood up.

"Wei Chen thinks that what Prime Minister Fang said is absolutely true. The only solution now is to withdraw our troops as soon as possible in order to solve our urgent need."

Zhuge Weiming: "..."

How could it be like this? If King Jing of the Suzaku Kingdom hadn't promised him that he would cede ten cities to him after he ascended the throne, how could he have rashly sent out troops

Alas, this time he stole the chicken but lost the rice.

"Transmit this king's military order and order General Lian to withdraw his troops and return to the capital as quickly as possible without any mistakes."

"yes."

The next day, Feng Yi finally arrived in Kyoto with Peng Xin.

A few days later, Duanmuxue issued an imperial edict.

King Jing Duanmu Shuang collaborated with the enemy and rebelled against the country, and committed rebellion. He was sentenced to death and was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after his death. All his family members were exiled to the border areas and were not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict. Qin Zhen, the Prime Minister of the Left, dismissed him from office and handed him over to the Beijing Criminal Division for investigation.

Tongxin Palace.

Duanmuxue looked excited after circling Hong Ling a few times.

"Xi'er, has the Suzaku divine beast really become your contracted beast?"

"kindness."

Duanmu Xi's lips curled up slightly and he nodded lightly.

Everyone in the Suzaku Kingdom believes in Suzaku, even the Queen.

Huangfu Che looked at Duanmuxue and smiled helplessly, then turned to Duanmuxi aside.

"Xi'er, where have you been these past three years? Why has your mother gone to Fengming Hall to look for you several times but couldn't find you."

Duanmu Xi was slightly stunned.

Did he actually practice in the Flame Tower for three years

"There is a teleportation array in the Fengming Palace. I touched the array and was trapped in the Flame Tower. I couldn't find a way out. I could only practice fire spirit power inside. It wasn't until I was promoted to Fire Spirit Emperor that I contracted the Red Spirit."

"Huo Ling Emperor..."

Huangfu Che's voice trembled in shock.

"Xi'er, you are already the Fire Spirit Emperor?"

Duanmuxue also ran over excitedly.

Xuanyuan Mo was also a little surprised.

In just three years, Xi'er was promoted from Fire Spirit Master to Fire Spirit Emperor. This speed was truly incredible.

It would take at least thirty years for a person with extremely talented talent in Hantian Continent to go from spiritual scholar to spiritual emperor. This girl can do it ten times faster than others.

"Father and mother, now that Duanmu Shuang has been removed, there are no rebellious officials or traitors in the court. Xi'er wants to go to Zhongzhou to learn the art of refining medicine as planned."

For Xiaoying's sake, she must learn this medicine refining.

"Xi'er, you..." You have to leave again!

Duanmuxue looked at Duanmuxi with a look of reluctance.

Although she was reluctant to leave, she also knew that she could not always be by their side, and she had her own path to take.

Huangfu Che was also very reluctant to give up.

He looked at Duanmu Xi and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

Seeing the two people's reluctance to leave, Duanmu Xi felt very guilty.

I must be really unfilial, leaving him for such a long time.

Although it has been five years since I traveled to the Vast Sky Continent, my time with them has been too few.

"Pfft", Duanmuxi knelt down in front of Duanmuxue and Huangfuche.

"Father, mother, please give Xi'er some more time. When Xi'er's things are finished, Xi'er will definitely not go anywhere. Can you stay with your father and mother every day?"

"Okay, okay, this is what you said, you can't lie to us." Duanmuxue's eyes sparkled with tears, and she nodded and smiled.

"certainly."

Duanmuxi's nose felt a little sore when she looked at Duanmuxue.

"Okay, get up."

Huangfu Che held Duanmu Xi in distress.

"Xi'er, it's your fifteenth birthday in a few days. Please finish your haircut ceremony before leaving."

The birthday party three years ago was not held, so this time I had to finish it and get my hair done before leaving.

"good."

Ten days later, Duanmu Xi completed the three-plus-three-bow ceremony for hair extensions in Fengming Hall.

After the ceremony, Duanmuxue took Duanmuxi in hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"Xi'er is so beautiful. Let's go out and show your father and Mo Xiaozi."

Duanmuxi blushed shyly, stood up with the overweight double phoenix crown on her head, and followed Duanmuxue out of Fengming Hall.

Xuanyuan Mo, who was standing outside the hall, was shocked when he saw Duan Muxi.
