"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
The violent reaction of warrior No.3 aroused even stronger curiosity in the surrounding seats. The youngest princess of North Di, the Ninth Princess, ran over immediately and wanted to take a closer look. She then started crying after only a look at it. A twelve-year-old child only said things as she wanted, "This is an ugly monster. It looks too disgusting and terrible. Father, kill him soon."How could that be? In addition to the courage of the warrior Zhigu, his handsome and mature appearance was also admired by many women. How could he be as unbearable as the Ninth Princess said?Zhigu lowered his head, his braids with intricate patterns hanging beside his cheeks, covering his face. A deeper red stain slowly oozed from the ring. It was blood dripping from Zhigu’s face. The thick bloody water carried an indescribable stench, which was similar to the smell of a corpse that could make people around fainted if they step closer. The one who suffered most was
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
