Gu Yunxi with Xiaoshen and his wife led ten guards in plain clothes, riding the horse day and night. In the evening, they approached the boundary of Jinmen.
The sun fell gradually, and the heat of the day dissipated slowly. The wind was right on the faces, with a smell of salty seawater.
Gu Yunxi slowed down the horse, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed,
"It should be the port ahead. Let's go to find out if there are merchant ships passing through the Wei Sea. As long as we give them enough money, asking them to take us on a journey shouldn't be a problem."
The girl rested her hands on her forehead and looked around, full of confidence.
Xiao Xiaoshen looked around and reminded,
"Be careful. With the imperial edict, an official ship must be on standby to Kunhuang Island in the port. We can't let them know our identity."
"Okay, I'll ask later. Everybody, speed up and follow me."
It was getting dark but lights were still bright on the ships. From a distance, the sea was still bright at the night.After leaving the port of Jinmen for a long time, there was no ship or archway memorial at the ferry and no people or horses passing by.Gu Yunxi hugged her knees and sat on the empty deck at the bow of the ship. The lantern made by cowhide was put aside.She sat, cupping her cheeks, and quietly watched the churning water in the night.At this moment, everything was silent, except for the sound of the water rattling when the boat sailed across the sea, and occasionally one or two waterfowl stretching their white wings flew over. The shrill chirp resounded through the sky.The breeze blew gently, flicking the girl's cheek and bringing a slightly salty vapor."Miss, you're here!"Qinger walked out of the cabin and saw the lights on the bow. Then, she came over to Gu Yunxi
After losing the battle with Bo Ku, the army of Da Yi was forced to retreat to the Huolei City and temporarily closed the door to recuperate.Throughout the morning, Leng Qingtang sat still in the camp, discussing with the generals about strategies to defend the enemy next time."D*mn it. The people of Bo Ku are really hypocritical. To win us, they released poisonous smoke before, and now they use the elephant herd. They always break the usual rules. How can we fight this battle?"Guo Wei, the Hussar General of Qinghu Army, complained furiously. As soon as his body moved, his shoulder injury immediately broke out. The pain caused him to change his facial expression.When fighting with the elephant herd, Lang Mucha was thrown off the horse by a trunk. To save her from being trampled into the mud by horses, Guo Wei’s left shoulder was pierced by an arrow from the enemy.Wei Zhao, the general of the Northwest Army,
"Father, I want to go to Kunhuang Island..."In the Palace, the Fourth Princess who dressed up neatly ran to Qinming Hall. Before the manager eunuch reported to Emperor Jingxiao, she had grabbed Prince Chen and walked in front of the desk.Today Emperor Jingxiao enjoyed somewhat rare energy. With brush in his hand, he was writing something. Hearing a clear voice, he raised his head."Oh, it is Jiyan..."Emperor Jingxiao looked at her and then shifted his eyes. After a casual glance at Prince Chen who was smirking, he frowned and turned anxious. However, he was so fond of Fourth Princess that he didn't want to blow up in her presence.The Fourth Princess even had no mood to salute. She directly hustled to say,"Father, I want to accompany you to Kunhuang Island. Please bring me and Brother!"Several days ago, the squads of the Eastern Depot acted earlier. At the same time, people in the
Ji Yaoguang and her members smoothly got into Bo Ku’s camp. When they met the General of Qingche City, Ji Yaoguang immediately showed him the mystical vessel, which was said to never overflow even when poured into a thousand glasses.The vessel was put in a gold box with ornamental engraving. In appearance, it was a round vessel made of white jade with two ear-shaped handles, and there was nothing special. But when people hid it in the dark, the vessel glowed blue.Strange to say, the vessel was produced in a kind of unknown design indeed. As Ji Yaoguang completely poured a full pot of wine into it, the scarlet and translucent liquor was lopsided over the rim as high as the grave. But the wine still never overflowed.Those people of Bo Ku Army were stunned completely. The General was more amazed, getting close to carefully look over the vessel for quite some minutes.Looking through the translucent liquor, he could see in be
It was late at night, when the cold moonlight fell on the towering glazed tiles in the Palace, casting a glaring glitter liked frost and snow.Empress Qian was ill, so she removed formal dress and ornaments early and went to sleep in Kunning Palace.But she suffered nightmares one after another, which made her dizzy and unconscious. When she woke up from the dream, her forehead was seriously sweaty.She turned around and found a black figure on the exquisite valance.With sudden-contracted pupils, Empress Qian wiped her intense sweats at her temples, shouting to the figure."Is it Sulian outside?""Your Grace, you can only think of Sulian. Presumably, you have already forgotten me..."After a while of silence, a soft voice of a woman sounded from the opposite, being slightly transmitted into Empress Qian's ears. It seemed somewhat a familiar voice for her.Silently and blan
"B*stard! How, how dare you..."Emperor Jingxiao glared at Prince Chen Huanan Xin. In his blank eyes, two cold lights were bursting out.Although he was stupid, Emperor Jingxiao realized what Prince Chen, his "dim-witted son" wanted."Guard, guard! Catch the b*st*rd..."With trembling hands, Emperor Jingxiao pointed to Prince Chen, anxiously roaring and shouting.Outside Qinming Hall, there were noises from far to near. Being escorted by several guards, an elegant woman in Phoenix Robe came in.When Wenren Junzheng saw her, he only softly asked,"Are you OK?"The woman slightly smiled,"I’m fine. Your members of Clan of Swords made a great difference this time."Emperor Jingxiao frowned and stared at the woman in front of him, as he didn't remember his empress was in such features.Before Emperor Jingxiao asked, the woman smiled,
The moon had arisen from the forest.The Palace of Da Yi was surrounded by large numbers of the capital army. They joined forces with the Honour Guards and brutally killed the thousands of the Clan of Swords followers who had entered the Palace to assassinate the Emperor.They fought violently in the Palace. The sound of fighting and howling were like waves constantly which mingled together and sounded extremely tragic. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.When the concubine Miaoyin led people into the Kunning Palace, the Fourth Princess Huanan Jiyan was awakened by her maidservants Yaoer and Yunjin. They took her out of the Princess' House and hid among the flowers.The night was dark and dreary. Huanan Jiyan was horrified to see many strangers in night clothes walking in and out of Kunning Palace. They rummaged everywhere.Then, a woman in full gorgeous dress entered the main hall of Kunning Pal
On the northern line of Bo Ku, the sky was densely covered with clouds, and the breeze was lingering.After receiving Ji Yaoguang's message, Leng Qingtang immediately assembled the army. Before dawn, he led 150,000 imperial armies and 30,000 Lang Armies to reach Xuede City.From far away, the sentinels of Bo Ku Army saw thick dust rolling on the whitening skyline, like a beacon smoke or a sea of dark clouds, covering the sky amazingly.Getting closer, they suddenly found that at the front of the army, the neatly organized team was actually hundreds of buffaloes covered in red cloth, with sharp knives on their horns. The scene was impressive but strangely funny.The Bo Ku people on the tower looked at each other, wondering what they wanted to do with these buffaloes.Since the enemy army came, they couldn't care about other matters. The commander in chief gave the order to open the gate to face the enemy immediat
