In Jingyang Palace of the Palace in the capital—
Gu Yunyao was sitting alone and enjoying tea. Suddenly, her mind was in a trance and her wrist lost its strength. She buckled a cup of tea on the ground.
Song Qin asked in a hurry,
"Master, are you okay? Let me clean it..."
Gu Yunyao did not seem to hear those words and quietly bent over to pick up the porcelain pieces.
The pain at her fingertips made her tremble, and her dull eyes returned to clarity.
"Oh, it's bleeding."
Song Qin screamed and hurried to find the bandage.
Gu Yunyao looked straight at the blood like a bright fire on her snow-white finger. She looked more worried.
Why was she restless today?
In the Palace of Guiping—
When Huanan Xin rushed into the Qushui Hall with a serious look, he saw Gu Yunxi sitting at the long table and wiping the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief in
Cheng Wanli staggered into the camp, followed by Lu Rong, the second captain, and Zhao Wuji, the third captain, who looked pale.Gu Di took off his mask not long ago, and at this moment the scar on his left face was torn where fresh blood water oozed.When Cheng Wanli came in with his people, he was using cotton dipped in potion to take care of the wound."What have you done? I have been here for nearly two hours, and I haven't seen you."Gu Di didn't turn round. He gazed at Cheng Wanli's silhouette reflected on the copper mirror with his sharp dark eyes and queried in an incondite tone."Master, I tried to look for Duke Min but found his son's body on Huyan Beach. The arrows in his body are golden eagle arrows, usually used by Honour Guards."Cheng Wanli said slowly, deliberately concealing the fact that after this incident, the three of them also secretly met with the real Master, Leng Qingtang.
Under the quiet moonlight, Gu Yunxi, who was sweating all over, sat up slowly, turned her back to the sea breeze, and began to tidy up her scattered clothes.Her eardrum was buzzing and her body was weak. She couldn't help blushing, stared at the person around her, and panted angrily,"As soon as you come back, you are doing this to me. You try every means to make me addicted. But you never really sleep with me!"Leng Qingtang dusted off the sand, smiled, and hugged her in his arms, greedily smelling the aroma of her body,"You always suspect that I am a ghost. Now you see who I am. I ask you, does a ghost have a p*nis?"Gu Yunxi slapped him, buried her head in his chest, and stammered shyly,"I haven't seen it. I don't know."Leng Qingtang kissed her on the forehead. His low voice was emotional and he said to the woman indulgently,"Darling, we still have something importa
When they successfully boarded Kunhuang Island under the cover of night, the first captain Ai Qing immediately released the sparrow hawk to find Lu Qiange's hiding place and meet him. It was nearly three o'clock at that time.After that, the first guards quietly returned to Guiping by boat, and Cheng Wanli served as a guide.The people on the island gathered.Gu Yunxi was happy to see Brother Lu accompanied by a beautiful woman. After greeting Huanan Jiyan, Gu Yunxi was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.Lu Qiange silently looked at Gu Yunxi, who was still beautiful after changing her face. She was very close with Leng Qingtang, holding his arm. Lu Qiange was a little jealous.But he smiled calmly and cleverly concealed his emotions in front of everyone.On the verdant grass, everyone sat cross-legged and held a meeting in the dark. They once again deployed and reviewed the strategies to b
When Wu Yong was heading to the south part of Kunhuang Island, the people of Leng Qingtang were also pressing onward to the west part of Kunhuang Island with the guidance of the map.After about two hours, they got into a lush forest.It was dark at night as the forest was surrounded by the night mist. The shadows of the trees were tall and entwined with one another. Plus, the forest was overgrown with wild weeds as tall as three meters. One could never find the right path here.Men of the first tribe and the second tribe of the Eastern Depot went ahead of the troop as they were wielding steel swords to cut up all the branches and vines of wistaria, so as to make way for their peers behind.Stepping over the fallen plants and trees, the troop struggled to move ahead in the night mist with faltering footsteps.Together with Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi, Yu Xuanji walked in the troop, too.He paid all his atte
It was in the west of Kunhuang Island.Holding his Broadsword in his arms, Lu Qiange suddenly heard cheers as loud as the thunder coming from the deep underground palace. He instantly knew that they had succeeded. His lips silently quirked upward, and his purple eyes were shining bright.Huanan Jiyan guarded at the entrance as her eyes locked on the inside of the underground palace. Now light glimmered in her eyes, but the smile frozen on her face turned dark and sad.She suddenly thought of her Father and Mother.Although she knew Gu Yunxi and Ninth Uncle weren't outsiders of her family, her duty as a legitimate princess made her feel frustrated as she couldn't predict that who would become the next emperor.She really hated to see her uncle and her brother fight against each other for the throne, since she didn't want to see anyone bleed or die.Some movement from the forest caught Lu Qiange's attention
On the east shore of Kunhuang Island, all officials were anxious like ants on a hot pan.In their eyes, those blades on the emperor's neck were dazzling. Under the hot sun, the blades were so aggressive that they dare not look at it directly.Young and old officials shouted, wrangled, or beat their breasts and stamped their feet in deep sorrow."Oh, no! His Majesty, His Majesty is kidnapped by the wicked!""Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot plots treason!""Come on! Guard the emperor—"Two hundred Honour Guards prepared the arrows. A general pulled up the sword with a serious look and shouted at Gu Di who was as proud as peacock on Wangxian Rise,"Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, I advise you to quickly ask your people to retreat. Otherwise, I will order my people to shoot arrows!"Gu Di looked cold and disdainfully looked down. Seeing those Honour Guards who
On the sea, the sunshine was like sparkling fine gold. It was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes."Go! Shift the fleet into the long snake formation and protect His Majesty!"On the main ship of Dongqing Fleet, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Min Rui ordered the ships to turn around in a row."Ignite the cannon!""Shoot—"The shells came out, and the roaring loud bangs began. The red light broke countless straight lines in the sea.The arrows were stretched to the full extent and shuttled back and forth like a meteor shower.The smoke of gunpowder covered all the sky. The place where the shells fell rolled waves.The calm sea boiled.At sea, the sound of wails, cracks, blasts, and falls were mixed in one place. On Kunhuang Island, cries and shouts went through the sky.Gu Di saw when Dongqing Fleet was intercepting Ji Yaoguang, H
On the east side of Kunhuang Island, those civil and military officials were all astonished by the suddenly unforeseen event. At the moment, they and Min Rui held the same doubt in mind.The two men looked exactly the same. Between them, who was really Master Leng?It was really an extraordinary day today!It was said that there would be a grand scene of dragons absorbing water, but it didn't appear. Min Rui, who had been informed of the fatal disease, miraculously appeared again.Then the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, Leng Qingtang, also became alive again. The man was not only doubled, but also became the royalty of Da Yi.Even strangers, pirates, and people of Udan also created more trouble at that time.The instant when Gu Di and Leng Qingtang who stood on the shore looked at each other, Gu Di was suddenly astonished in his mind,"How could it be possible? Hadn't he been
