Chapter 606: Psychedelic Array
The Queen of the Western Regions sighed slightly and said slowly: "Well, since you have made up your mind, then as your sister, I will not dissuade you anymore. But please be extra careful."
Hilton was delighted to hear this and quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I will be extra cautious." After that, he turned and left.
After Hilton left, the worry on Queen Xiyue's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sinister, cruel and ruthless expression. She thought to herself: "Huh... I didn't expect that Hilton would be so self-conscious and psychedelic before I even opened my mouth, and take the initiative to fight against the empress. I have been planning for so long, even using my own brother. No matter what the cost, I will defeat Si Chao and unify the whole world!"
At the same time, on the other side, the army led by the empress arrived at the border. The battlefield was ablaze with flames, drums roaring, and horses neighing. In front of the enemy formation, dense swords and spears stood in a row, and neatly arranged soldiers were ready for battle. At the front of the queue, a man in azure blue clothes caught the empress's attention.
"Hmm? Are you Prince Hilton from the Western Regions?" Empress Si Ning asked softly.
However, Hilton didn't seem to care about Si Ning's words, but roared directly: "Who among you is the empress of Si Dynasty?"
"It's me." Si Ning replied calmly.
Hilton held a long sword in his hand, pointed at the empress in front of him, and roared angrily: "Woman, get off my feet! Today is the day you die!"
Si Ning sat on the horse, and at this moment, she was like an empress dominating the world, exuding an incomparable noble aura. She looked at the person in front of her leisurely, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and responded with a contemptuous tone: "Humph... Just relying on you, a small ant, you want to take my life? You are not qualified! Let the queen of your country come out! The Western Regions have already signed a peace treaty with our Si Dynasty, why do you want to unilaterally tear up the contract? How dare you send troops to invade our border!"
After hearing this, Hilton's face instantly turned red, and he angrily retorted: "Shameless people, it was you who killed our envoy first and violated the agreement, and you still have the nerve to blame us!"
Si Ning was about to continue his rebuttal when suddenly, an army rushed out from the city gate. On the two leading horses sat Chen Ke and Yuan Yi. It turned out that they could not tolerate the insults from the other prince, and could not suppress their anger, so they rushed to the front first.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!" Prince Hilton asked loudly.
Yuan Yi replied without showing any weakness: "You are not qualified to know my name! How dare you be disrespectful to my monarch and speak wildly? Let me show you how I will deal with you today!"
"Haha, you are such an arrogant boy. Do you think this prince is afraid of you?" Hilton sneered and said disdainfully.
As Hilton was talking, the long sword in his hand had already stabbed towards Yuan Yi's vitals. However, just as the sword was about to get close, it was suddenly tightly entangled by a silver whip. It turned out that Chen Ke saw that the situation was not right and immediately stepped forward to help.
"Haha, you've come at the right time. If you come with one, I'll kill one. If you come with two, I'll kill a pair!" Hilton said arrogantly.
Chen Ke sneered: "As a prince, you are so arrogant and rude. Is this what the Queen of the Western Regions usually teaches you? Don't forget that the one standing in front of you is the Empress of Si Dynasty, and your master is just a little queen. Why don't you kneel down and salute when you see my Empress? How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Hearing these provocative words, Hilton snorted coldly and rode back, followed closely by Chen Ke and Yuan Yi. Seeing this scene, Si Ning couldn't help but get nervous. She had read military books and knew that Hilton's move was obviously a trick to lure the enemy, with the purpose of deliberately angering them.
Si Ning frowned and thought to himself: These two brave but foolish guys are really good at causing trouble instead of helping others!
Si Ning quickly gave an order to the general next to him, Jun Yuanxun, "Jun Yuanxun, I will give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, break the formation from the east gate. I will lead the army to attack from the main gate!"
Jun Yuanxun was a little hesitant. He was also familiar with military books. He saw that the formation was very strange, so he persuaded: "Ning'er... This formation is very strange. You must not take risks. Just let your subordinates go."
Hearing this, Si Ning looked ahead with a firm gaze and said, "Since I have already led the army in person, I must do it myself. If a tiger doesn't show its might, it will think I am Hello Kitty! Also, I cannot bear to see Yuan Yi and Chen Ke fall into danger. These two only know how to act on impulse. They don't understand the art of war at all. If I had known, I would not have brought them along. Go quickly. This is an imperial decree."
Jun Yuanxun looked into Si Ning's eyes. He could feel her determination and courage. He also knew that he couldn't stop her, but he was still a little worried. He sighed deeply, then nodded in agreement.
Jun Yuanxun turned and left to carry out Si Ning's order. Si Ning looked at his departing back, feeling full of confidence.
Because in this life, he found many differences from the previous life, especially the changes in Si Ning during the half month on the road. He never expected that Si Ning actually knew the art of war!
He is also very familiar with military tactics and is very skilled in deploying troops.
At this time, Si Ning had already entered the formation herself. Chen Ke and Yuan Yi were both in the formation, and she had no idea where they were.
Si Ning shouted anxiously: "Chen Ke, Yuan Yi, where are you?"
Suddenly, a faint voice came from a distance: "Ning'er...save me!" It was Yuan Yi's voice.
Then, another voice sounded: "Don't come over!" It was a deep and harsh voice.
Si Ning raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see Chen Ke and Yuan Yi tied up on a high platform. At the same time, Hilton stood aside with a long sword in his hand, looking down at the empress from a high position.
Si Ning frowned tightly and shouted loudly: "Hilton...you should let them go quickly, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
Hilton sneered and said sarcastically: "Woman, the hostage is in my hands now, and I should be the one to make the threats."
Yuan Yi was tied up, and he cursed fearlessly: "You Xi'er, you prince, you are so despicable and shameless! As long as I am alive, I will kill you and feed you to the dogs!"
Hilton glanced at the man in front of him with annoyance and said disdainfully, "I've never seen a man as noisy as you. I might as well cut off your tongue first to keep my ears clean."
"You dare...Hilton" Si Ning shouted.
Hilton continued to sneer, "Hmph, what is there for this prince to be afraid of!" His voice was full of provocation and arrogance, as if he didn't take Si Ning seriously at all.
Si Ning suppressed her anger and tried to stay calm as she asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want in order for you to let them go?" She stared at Hilton with a determined light in her eyes.
Hilton pinched his chin, a sly smile on his lips, and said, "By the way, I have an idea. These two people should be from your harem, right? In that case, how about we play a game? I can release one of them, and you make the choice." There was a hint of teasing in his tone, as if he was enjoying the feeling of controlling the fate of others.
