When Xiao Chengyi saw Yan Yan protecting him, his heart was filled with comfort. Even if this girl forgot about him, she would still protect him.
He patted Wushuang's arm gently and said, "Don't be afraid, I can't die."
Xiao Chengyi raised his head and looked not far away. He curled his lips and said, "If your Majesty wants to kill me, you have to see if you have the ability!"
Duan Qingli frowned and was about to speak when she heard bursts of screams coming from the guards behind her.
She looked back and saw that there were many uninvited guests in the back hill. They quietly attacked from behind and killed them by surprise.
Not far away, several huge things like Kongming lanterns floated over, and people jumped down from them one after another.
The sound of fighting spread throughout the valley in an instant, accompanied by flying arrows.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Commander Duan looked at the flying arrows and hurriedly swung his sword to fend them off. He protected Duan Qingli and hid aside and said: "Your Majesty, there are actually hundreds of people coming. Look at them, they are all top masters."
In this short time, many of his men had been killed, and His Majesty's Nether Guards had also been dispatched to fight with those people.
Duan Qingli gritted her teeth and glared at Xiao Chengyi who was standing under the tree: "What a regent!"
How on earth did he do it? Hundreds of people broke into the Gu Palace so quietly.
Xiao Chengyi stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the fight in front of him with cold eyes.
Wushuang took his arm and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yi, are they all your people? How did they get in?"
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Did you see the Kongming Lantern in the sky last night?"
Wushuang nodded, but what does this have to do with the Kongming Lantern?
Xiao Chengyi said: "Kongming lanterns can fly in the sky. I just made a few lanterns a hundred times larger than the Kongming lanterns according to its principles, let my people ride on them, and then use the wind to fly to the sky above Gu Palace."
This is his true purpose. This Gu Palace has trapped so many people that there is no need to exist at all.
He wants to save Yan Yan, but he also wants to destroy this place.
He will cleanse the Gu Palace with blood today.
When making the plan before, he had thought that he could come in as the high priest, but he might not be able to take Yan Yan out.
So when the high priest said to use the sky lantern as a signal, he suddenly had inspiration.
Since Kongming lanterns can fly in the sky, if we make a big lantern, can we carry people to fly in the sky?
Therefore, he asked his men to make this thing secretly and experimented with it. As long as the temperature of the flame was controlled, the height of the Kongming Lantern could be freely controlled.
No matter how steep the Gu Palace is, it is just a palace built on a mountain. If it doesn't work on the ground, it can work in the sky!
Xiao Chengyi also didn't expect that his plan would be so successful.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a tut-tsk voice coming from the side: "He is indeed a genius, but it's a pity."
Xiao Chengyi looked at Wu Xuanye, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes. If Yan Yan hadn't stopped him, he would have killed this hateful man long ago.
He snorted and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Wushuang asked curiously: "What's a pity? Isn't Brother Yi awesome?"
