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
As night fell, the stars hung low in the sky.After receiving the handwritten letter from Imperial Mother Xiao from the Palace in the capital, Princess Anhe read it and angrily put the bright yellow paper on the bookcase.The content of the letter was extremely simple.If anything bad happened to the Emperor, Yunyao would be killed.Anger gathered in her eyes. An He turned and sat down. She dispelled her anger by herself and then sighed helplessly."Imperial Mother Yu is a troublemaker. I thought Xiao Miaoyin would take Yunyao as a hostage in the future, so I had to try my best to get her out of the palace. It never occurred to me that she cared so much about a son who was not her own. Now, what I'm most worried about is happening."Leng Qingtang took the letter and took a look. He frowned and looked at Gu Yunxi.Approaching An He, the man said faintly,"Elder sister, don't
In the middle of the day, a carriage bumped slightly along the winding path.In the carriage was a pretty beauty. The girl picked the driving curtain with her jade white hand.Deeply attracted by the little flowers that kept going backward on the roadside, the girl smiled and asked,"What a beautiful flower! I've never seen it in Da Yi. What's its name?"The coachman drove the carriage and sat at the shaft. Hearing Gu Yunxi's surprised voice, he smiled, turned back, and said,"Those are 'wanwaner', which are not rare flowers in Udan. Later, you will live in a garden, which is full of roses. That's really beautiful. Roses are the national flower of Udan."Leng Qingtang put his head out of the carriage and asked the coachman with a smile,"Hi, how far is it?"The coachman stroked his beard and looked at the green ahead,"Soon, in half an hour, we will be there."
When he turned around, Leng Qingtang saw a grim side face with scars."Brother."The man smiled calmly and respectfully called him.Gu Di stared at the front, and there were not too many expressions on his uncoordinated face. He put on a sarcastic smile,"If you don't grab the opportunity or kill Huanan Xin, aren't you going to be afraid of bad things in the future?"Leng Qingtang looked calm and said,"Huanan Xin is our nephew, Hua'er's cousin, and Jiyan's Brother. How can I kill him? Isn't the situation good now? He just wants to be the emperor and I just want to live in seclusion. We only mind our own business.""Hehe."Gu Di sneered and stared at Leng Qingtang with sharp eyes,"You've been the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot for more than ten years, but you're still as kind-hearted as a woman! Do you think he will be content to be an emperor and forget abo
