When Shangguan Yee opened her mouth to keep clamoring, there was a gust of cold wind. With a streak of silver light, Shangguan Yee felt something cold on her neck. It was a crape myrtle soft sword in the hand of Leng Shuang.
The atmosphere became intense. Shangguan Yee felt that every breath she took was as ice-cold as the one from hell. The surrounding seemed to be quiet too, without anyone passing by.
Qin Yunuan stared quietly at Shangguan Yee, whose body stiffened under the sword of Leng Shuang, "Don't ask me what I relied on casually. If it had been not for the sake of an old friend, you should have paid your price after so many tricks you played behind my back. Just leave now. However, I need to warn you that there won't be any tolerance next time."
Qin Yunuan turned her body. She let Shangguan Yee go only because Shangguan Yee and her have a kinship between them and Shangguan Yi couldn't bear any strike after his grandson's death. Otherwi
While ordering the two servant girls behind her to step forward, Concubine Tang looked at Qin Yunuan with a smile. However, with that smile, she looked provocative and meddlesome.Qin Yunuan had to admit that two servant girls Concubine Tang brought here were indeed beautiful. One of them had an oval face, big eyes, a plump figure and thin limbs. In particular, her slim waist was so eye-catching. In comparison, the other girl didn't have a hot body, but her face was fairly pretty. She had a heart-shaped face and big watery eyes which were so seductive."I have picked up two girls specially for you. I know you now run three shops that stand in the eastern area, and your family, the Qin Family, has got into trouble. So, these two girls can help you and ease your burden. Besides, they are well trained, and they can surely serve Changxi well."In fact, Concubine Tang wanted these two girls to compete with Qin Yunuan for Leng Changxi's love. Qin Yun
"Hubby," Qin Yunuan slowly came close. Leng Changxi's glance melted immediately as soon as he saw Qin Yunuan. Tenderness rippled in his eyes as if a stone had been thrown into a pond.Qin Yunuan could see the spark of anger in the slightly embarrassed Xie Ruying's eyes, but she ignored it on purpose. She clung to Leng Changxi's arm intimately and wiped off the sweat on Leng Changxi's forehead with her handkerchief. Her every move intended to demonstrate the mutual affection between the two."You must have been exhausted," Qin Yunuan pretended that she only saw Xie Ruying just then. She put on a surprised look and asked, "Oh, who is this beauty? Why haven't I heard you talking about her before, hubby?"Leng Changxi sneered and replied, "She's just a distant relative of my mother."Qin Yunuan smiled gently. She took the initiative to approach Xie Ruying and said, "No wonder you look a bit like mother-in-law. You look nice and honest,
"Shouldn't General Leng ask me why I have tried so hard to invite you to gather here?" Minister Liu had been trained to be cunning from years of experience in the government. The more Leng Changxi cared about this information, the greater the chance for him to achieve his goal.Leng Changxi didn't hide the reason why he wanted the information so badly, as he was confident that he was able to obtain it."I don't have much time for you." Under the black mask was a pair of confident and plotful eyes. Leng Changxi raised the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea. "Besides, Minister Liu, you've just lost your son yesterday. Aren't you supposed to be sorrowfully mourning over your son's dead body at home today? Minister Liu, I hate being threatened the most. Don't force me."Minister Liu sat straight immediately upon hearing that, and he signaled his people to leave with his glance and spoke to Leng Changxi's ear, "Believe it or not, general
The moment they heard the accent of North Di, people in this room got alert immediately. Now though Prince Saichun had married the Grand Prince Sima Ruo, the relationship between Qi and North Di was still intense and weak due to the assassination happening in the paddock. Besides, they did not know how Wanyan Su would report the condition about Qi when he came back to North Di. But according to the troop's condition in Luguan, the relationship between the two countries was in a good trend.When talking about Luguan, Qin Yunuan thought about the deal Wanyan Su talked about last time. It was said that Wanyan Su would be transferred from the Royal City of North Di to guard the border Luguan, so Qin Yunuan would gain a new smooth channel of earning money in North Di. Yes, finally, Qin Yunuan chose to collaborate with Wanyan Su. She had no result in refusing to earn money. And even if the issue was revealed, she had enough confidence to withdraw.Now the noise o
After a happy time for the whole night, Qin Yunuan felt constant backache the next morning. Nurse Liao felt so happy when she heard that Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi was in sweet love every day. She always talked that she hoped to take care of the daughters and sons of the couple in the future.Qin Yunuan reckoned that she had married to Prince Ning's Mansion for one month. She looked at her belly. She expected but felt a little bit worried. Now Qin Yunuan should care much about Baochuan, but if there were a new member, she would not know if she could handle all things well.Soon, it was the day of the selection examination of the Imperial College in autumn. On this day, Qin Baochuan got up early, and Qin Yunuan still slept due to the happy time last night. Leng Changxi tided up the quilt clearly for Qin Yunuan, and then put on a piece of clothing to encourage Baochuan."Don't be so worried," Leng Changxi with hands clasped behind his back looke
"Yes," said Qin Yunuan with a sweet smile. The dimples on her cheeks made her look more innocent and artless. "They were sent by Concubine Tang to share responsibility for me. As they looked very pleasing to the eyes, I kept them at my disposal."The two servant girls with pretty faces were sent by Concubine Tang to share responsibility. Everyone here knew what the so-called "responsibility" really meant. It turned out that Concubine Tang wanted to plant her people into Qin Yunuan's courtyard and win the favor of Leng Changxi.Qin Yunuan kept a close eye on everybody's facial expressions while speaking. As was expected, Xie Ruying became black in her face all of a sudden. Princess Ning frowned a little, and then her calm was restored. Leng Suxin was as emotionless as usual. The expression on her face was still cool and indifferent as if those things were none of her business.This time, the Old Madam cast a murderous glance at those servant gir
The blowing autumn wind was a little bit dry, but Xie Ruying outside felt so gloomy as rainy days. She felt very afflictive."Third Young Madam." Xie Ruying stepped forward immediately after she saw Qin Yunuan came out.Qin Yunuan just glimpsed at her without much attention, but she still stopped. She said nothing and waited for Xie Ruying to speak first. Qin Yunuan wanted to know what else bullshit Xie Ruying could say. The must in the flower sachet had made Qin Yunuan refreshed utterly. There were many spies in Prince Ning's Mansion."Third Young Madam, could you listen to me for a while?" Xie Ruying stepped forward and gave a sign to Leng Shuang beside Qin Yunuan. Xie Ruying knew the ability of this maidservant well. The maidservant was rare to show up, but she could appear suddenly when there was an emergency. It seemed that the maidservant was so skilled."Leng Shuang, you quit first." Qin Yunuan ordered, and then smiled to Xi
"May I?" Leng Chang'an bowed again, modest and gentle.Qin Yunuan looked back to Leng Changxi. His eyes were cold but not rejecting. She nodded to Leng Chang'an and said, "Please, my brother-in-law."Leng Chang'an looked apologetic, "I heard about Ruyi and your conflict last night. Ruyi was wrong. She is a little arrogant, but not a bad woman. I hope you won't take it personally."The conflict Leng Chang'an mentioned was that Ruan Ruyi united with Tang and vied with Qin Yunuan for three shops. It was just a trivial matter. However, Leng Chang'an took the initiative to apologize humbly. It made Qin Yunuan look like a woman who showed no mercy to those in the wrong when justice was on her side.Qin Yunuan only nodded, "You are overly concerned, brother. My sister-in-law and I just had a little friction. It's my fault to trouble you with all this explaining."Leng Chang'an nodded and then looked to Leng Changxi, "Have you
Fortunately, Sun Miaoyang was in Prince Ning's Mansion. Unfortunately, Su Chenghai, the disciple of Doctor Sun, was suffering from poisoning at the same time. So when all the people in the Royal City and all the civilians of Qi were cheering for eradicating the evil, there were two dying people in Prince Ning's Mansion.The emperor of Qi re-ascended the throne with few concubines and descendants, so naturally, he valued Leng Changxi, his nephew, so much. He sent him countless precious tonics, and he even accompanied the Queen Mother to visit Leng Changxi after a busy day of political affairs many times. But it was a pity that Leng Changxi still didn't get any better. Qin Yunuan took care of him day and night, losing so much weight.At that time, Leng Changxi and Shi Ruisheng seemed to be vying with each other. There was only one blade of life-saving grass, but there were two people who needed it. Logically speaking, Sun Miaoyang should have given the life-s
All the people fixed their eyes on this little kid who seemed to be only three years old. The child looked extremely beautiful with big watery eyes and fair skin. He was so cute.Followed by the little child was a middle-aged man who looked strong and vigorous but was plainly dressed. People with good ears could still remember that the middle-aged man just called the little child young master. It seemed that the child should be from some noble family.Since his story was interrupted by such a little kid, the storyteller was so angry. He started narrating this story a long time ago, and everyone loved the story very much. But at this time, he was provoked by a little kid!"You kid, you know what? You weren't even born when the Royal City was chaotic.""Anyway, I know that General Leng and his wife are not dead." The kid looked unconvinced with a pout, refuting the storyteller."Hey, you kid. Do you know how many tons of
The burning of the city was the cruelest. In addition, it was the Royal City with a prosperous business and a large population. If Sima Ray was determined to have a life-or-death struggle, the people of Qi would suffer.The emperor of Qi looked at his unfilial son in front of him, feeling so furious. He pointed at Leng Changxi and said, "Get me the head of my rebellious son. I will spill his blood in front of the ancestor temple. I'll let all the ancestors see that there is such a rebel in our Sima Family."Sima Ray raised his head and his eyebrows slightly, looking so indifferent. It seemed that a bad reputation didn't matter to him at all, "I don't care at all. Besides, you never regarded me as a member of the Sima Family when I was growing up, right? You've always been ashamed of my mother. You felt it a shame to rape a maid and make her pregnant when you were young, so you never treated me kindly. I am just dispensable to you.""What nonsen
With his hands tied up behind his back, Leng Changxi remained so calm that people couldn't help bearing scruples. He looked up at Sima Ray and said, "You can kill your friends, brothers and soldiers at will. But I can't. I care for my men."When Sima Ray didn't figure out what he meant, Shi Ruisheng suddenly took out a sword that was tied to his waist. He wielded the sword to cut off the rope that tied Leng Changxi, and the latter was free at once."General, take it." Leng Changxi didn't take any weapon with him. And right because of this, Sima Ray wasn't fully on the alert. But at this time, Zhuge Qingtian shouted and directly threw the black-iron spear at him. Zhuge Qingtian had very strong arms so that the spear directly stabbed into the battlement after flying several hundred meters."Shi Ruisheng, how dare you disobey me?" Sima Ray always thought Shi Ruisheng was his loyal pawn. But unexpectedly, he should betray him at this crucial time.
Sima Ray had occupied Yu Haitang's body at the moment. However, Yu Haitang's appearance began to change because Sima Ray used the body to practice martial arts day and night. After a long time, he looked no different from Sima Ray's original appearance at a glance.Seeing Yu Haitang's shocking change, Qin Yunuan thought that the people around Yu Haitang might have noticed something. However, they all agreed to say nothing. To keep silent was the key to survive beside Sima Ray.Now Marshal Yu had already been a young man who looked exactly like Sima Ray without the name of Prince Ray."Leng Changxi, there are smoke bombs in four colors in my hands, red, yellow, blue, and green. They are responding to the codes of the people watching bonfires in the four corners of the Royal City respectively. Red is the east. Yellow is the west. Blue is the south. Green is the north. As soon as I let go of the smoke bombs, someone over there will immediately lea
"You want evidence?" Qin Yunuan raised her tone. She was considered a fool. Qin Yunuan suddenly reached out to grab Shi Ruisheng's collar. She was ready to see what's inside it."What are you doing?" Shi Ruisheng's face turned red. He covered his clothes with mild strength."What are you thinking?" Qin Yunuan stared at Shi Ruisheng. She grabbed Shi Ruisheng's collar, revealing three moles, which had a triangle shape besides his collarbone. "Yes, I remember, the elder male cousin Su has it. You were him, this is right, but," Qin Yunuan looked at Shi Ruisheng, and went up to drag his sleeve."Yunuan, what the hell are you doing?"Shi Ruisheng was shy about Qin Yunuan's bold behavior. Besides, he treated her well all these years."See," Qin Yunuan pointed at the thin black line on Shi Ruisheng's arm, "This is the poison I used to suffer. The origin of it was the Tamuer Village and the white poplar forest outside it, which
"You…" Qin Yunuan slightly opened her mouth, looking at Shi Ruisheng, who had a completely different appearance from Leng Changxi. She remembered that her cousin Su Chenghai did look familiar with Leng Changxi. However, Shi Ruisheng's temperament was quite another. The sense of Confucian scholar hid behind his expressions.Shi Ruisheng's words were doting. He seemed to learn from Leng Changxi to act in a mild and indifferent way."What's wrong? When you were a little girl, you wouldn't be like that. You used to talk a lot, but now…mature a little more, words little less." Shi Ruisheng said it naturally with the feeling of a brother. Qin Yunuan disdained him."That's because I have nothing to say to you now." She finished her words and left the tent. Shi Ruisheng wanted to chase her but was stopped by Leng Changxi, "Just let her go. Calm down, and she will be fine."Qin Yunuan kept walking. Along the way, she couldn't help but look
Qin Yunuan read the two documents in her hands. After comparing back and forth, she suddenly smiled and looked at Leng Changxi. It seemed that the two people could understand each other without speaking.In the morning half a month later, the mist dissipated gradually. The profile of the city wall, which was getting clearer little by little from afar, was outlined by the morning sun with a golden rim. The Royal City in the distance was the largest power center of Qi. Gold worshippers and desperate gamblers gathered here, crowding in the tiny space and thinking that they could gain fame and fortune. However, they all became the playthings of power."The world is supposed to be governed by the strong authority," a man in silver armor stood in the golden morning light on a high mountain from afar. The black iron spear in his hand glowed with cold murderous intent. The solemn atmosphere made people breathe cautiously."General Leng, it is me who he
Seeing that Heiying's face gradually become pale, showing a kind of dying helplessness, Qin Yunuan opened his eyelid and checked carefully. Leng Shuang seemed to be a little flustered."Madam, I..." Leng Shuang took a step closer."It's none of your business," Qin Yunuan turned her face to comfort Leng Shuang, "Besides, even if you don't kill him, Sima Ray will kill him. Even if he isn't killed by Sima Ray, he will be punished by me. How can he leave safe and sound after bullying my people?"Leng Changxi glanced at Heiying and ordered his servant, "Take him back." After saying this, he stretched his hand and pulled Qin Yunuan directly onto the horse. When he passed Tuoba Wuyu, he nodded with concern, "Thank you for your hard work."Qin Yunuan sat behind Leng Changxi. Putting her arms around the edge of Leng Changxi's armor, she lowered her head slightly, "It's so surprising that...""Nothing is surprising," Leng Changx
