Leng Changxi stopped. His hands on the door paused. However, the door opened automatically without any strength. Protecting Qin Yunuan behind him, Leng Changxi saw a row of people standing in order under the luffa stems in the courtyard. The one in the middle was sitting on the rattan chair which Qin Yunuan usually sat on when she was embroidering, looking magnificent. He smiled when seeing Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi as if he had seen two old friends. He said, "General of Qi, Infanta of Qi, we haven't seen each other for some time."
The man sitting in the center was nobody else but Wanyan Su. He stood up with a smile. His eyes bypassed Leng Changxi, fixing on the white gauze covering Qin Yunuan's eyes, and said in a concerned tone, "How about your eyes? They haven't recovered yet."
Qin Yunuan leaned to the side and said politely, "I feel better now. Your Highness, thank you for your concern."
Although she could not see Wanyan Su, she could tel
"Oh. So you won't accept it?" Leng Changxi handed the gold ingots to Qin Yunuan and said calmly, "Nuan, keep the money for loofahs well. Farewell to our guest.""Wait!" Wanyan Su stopped him, looking much determined, "My answer is yes. I promise you if you help me succeed, not only will I send you two clearance documents, but I will also order 500 excellent troops to accompany you to West Xia."Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi looked at each other and smiled. Lifting his head, Leng Changxi glanced at the shabby yard, "Now that we are partners, it seems inappropriate if we keep living in this yard."Wanyan Su gritted his teeth, "It will be the warrior competition in the capital in seven days. According to the prediction, I will arrive there at that time. If General Leng and Madam Leng would like to, I hope that you can come along with me."Smiling, Qin Yunuan entered the house, "It's nice."Seven days later, at the capital o
Leng Wu couldn't hesitate any longer. He turned around, grasping the sky-reaching halberds that his servants held for him. With his light skills, he stepped on the carriage canopies and flew to Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi like a light sparrow. The halberds thrust into the carriage. Leng Changxi only pushed Qin Yunuan aside, taking out a scimitar hidden on the edge of the carriage casually.There was a clattering sound of weapons joining, Leng Wu and Leng Changxi looked at each other. Leng Wu was able to see Leng Changxi's original appearance clearly from under this seemingly terrifying mask.In an instant, the two jumped onto the canopy headed by Wanyan Su. The two halberds in Leng Wu's hands danced in the haunting wind, and Leng Changxi's scimitar was flexible and sharp.Just as the halberd collided with the scimitar, Leng Changxi heard a clear whisper from Leng Wu, "Tomorrow noon, the Khan of seven tribes will enter the capital. Princess Saic
"What do you mean?" Yasu was nervous at Qin Yunuan's appearance, "Also, who are you? Why are you telling me this?"Qin Yunuan was not petrified, "Didn't you just said it? I am only the guest that Fourth Prince brought here." Qin Yunuan said as she observed Yasu's expression. "It's only that I am an acquaintance of your sister, Princess Saichun.""Are you from Qi?" Yasu asked with her eyes wide open. "What happened to Saichun? Is she dead? She used to write to me all the time, but one day the letters suddenly stopped coming. My father refused to talk about it. Then I turned to His Highness, but he just coaxed me. I just wanted him to find out about Saichun for me, but he refused. Men are all liars. He had promised my father to take good care of me forever."Qin Yunuan stared at Yasu for a long time. She opened her mouth and said slowly, "Yes, Princess Saichun is dead, with the child of her and the Grand Prince of Qi."Yasu was prepa
Qin Yunuan glimpsed at Bochaerji in the banquet. She could vaguely recognize this khan from the north prairie was a very tall man. By contrast, those warriors behind her were conspicuously lean.The warrior of Bochaerji strode onto the arena with his half drooping woolen sleeves tucked into his belt, which looked very capable and resolute.The ritual official continued to report the serial number, "The second is the warrior recommended by Prince Regent."Prince Regent smiled and seemed to be very courageous. And then he turned back to tell the warrior behind him, "Maomu, Bochaerji Khan is your eldership. Don't hurt the follower of the khan when battling."The words of Prince Regent dissatisfied Bochaerji immediately. Bochaerji said in a husky voice, "It's absurd, Your Highness. You ordered your follower to surrender to my warrior. I feel insulted. This time, we battle without preserving our fighting capacity," And then he said to t
Wanyan Ba withdrew his glaring eyes immediately and glimpsed at Leng Changxi disdainfully, "I just disdain a dog barks under the protection of its master."Leng Changxi smiled and said nothing. Looking at Maomu on the ground in the bloody woolen gown, he did not sympathize with the man at all. He turned and went back behind Wanyan Su. The Grand Khan of North Di noticed this ugly but competent stranger, and then he said to Wanyan Su, "The respected guest beside you has excellent eyesight. He even could find such a small silver needle in the waist of Maomu."What the Grand Khan said was not only praise and also a tentative to Leng Changxi. Wanyan Su gave a respectful salute to Grand Khan of North Di, "Young Master Tuoba has some extraordinary capacities, indeed."Prince Regent glimpsed at the bloody Maomu and then ordered people to drag him away. Maomu had worked for Prince Regent for over two years, who got a great reputation by many contests. I
Looking at Maomu who was cautious and shocked at the same time, Qin Yunuan didn't say anything. However, her faint smile was already threatening. Leng Changxi walked out from the dark and guarded by Qin Yunuan's side. He looked at Maomu and said, "Prince Regent poisoned you. Even if I don't hurt you in the rings, you'll die sooner or later, in an unpleasant manner. So, after all, we actually saved you."Maomu was talking with a heavy North Di accent. "I didn't ask for your help.""Oh, in that case," Leng Changxi turned around and looked at Lu Wuyi, "Doctor Lu, is there a way to put the poison back?"Lu Wuyi arched his hands and said seriously, "It dies as soon as it leaves human body." Maomu was immediately relieved, but Lu Wuyi continued, "But I can put in a more powerful one. It goes around human's arteries on nights of full moon, and it eats human flesh until it breaks free from the skin."Maomu trembled, "What do you want me to
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan remained still. The Prince Regent opened the curtain for a slip, as if he was making a gesture, or that he was testing them.Leng Changxi slightly bowed, sort of saluting to the Prince Regent."Mister Tuoba is such a busy man." Prince Regent said as he dismounted the carriage along the wooden stairs. Looking closer, he seemed decent and well-educated, unlike the naturally aggressive North Di people. The Prince Regent approached with a kind smile on his face, "However, I have come to invite you in person. I'm just planning to have a short gathering with you at the restaurant, please don't reject me." After saying that, the Prince Regent politely turned to Qin Yunuan and said, "It would be best if Mrs. Tuoba could join us as well."The Prince Regent had come in person. Leng Changxi was afraid that he would get into trouble if he rejected this. While he remained silent, the Prince Regent had ordered his men to bring ano
The spear was as fast as a meteor with such momentum that made it look like a rainbow. Leng Changxi turned over and leaped into the air, hands grabbing downwards. The momentum of the spear made him take a step back, but it didn't stop him from standing still. With the spear in hand, Leng Changxi wouldn't accept the result as he turned the spear and threw it towards Wanyan Su, Fourth Prince. The spear had ripped into the pillar with its entire sharp, which was a fist away from Wanyan Su.Wanyan Su looked solemn. Droplets of sweat all over his body seemed to curdle at once, "Are you aware of the situation you're facing now?"Despite knowing the answer, Leng Changxi asked, "What kind of situation?"Wanyan Su threw his bracer hard onto the ground and turned his head to the other side, "I've only heard that when Grand Khan came back yesterday, he had a nightmare that the crown prince of North Di would be killed by an ugly monster. Now all the offici
