Hearing Qin Yunuan's question, Yaqi was on the alert, and then she stayed calm. Slowly coiling her wet hair at the back of her head, she answered reverently, "Madam, it's because I'm washing my hair."
"Washing your hair?" Qin Yunuan raised her voice a bit and continued, "It's dry in North Di, and people seldom wash their hair. We have no big event today. Why do you wash your hair?"
"Madam, today is my mother's death anniversary. I want to pray for her, so I'm taking a shower."
"Oh, really?" Qin Yunuan walked to her with a smile, making the log on the ground together with the felt creak. She reached out and put Yaqi's hand on her palm. This seemingly gentle gesture, however, made Yaqi tremble.
"If you just take a shower, why are your fingers so pale? Yaqi, how long have you been in the bath? Two hours or four? Eh?"
Qin Yunuan's words stabbed in Yaqi's chest like a poisonous hook, and she couldn't stand being sounded out
"This isn't something that you should worry about," Leng Changxi turned sideways and said to Lu Wuyi, "Your only tasks are to make poison and antidote.""Do you really think that there is a mystery tribe in the dangerous Yeren Valley?" Lu Wuyi raised his tone, "All I can see are snakes and beasts here, but no traces of human beings."The chilly wind in the night made Lu Wuyi sneeze. Somehow, he felt like there were eyes looking at him in the dark, demon-like eyes. They were looking at the throat, as if they were waiting for a chance to stab through it."That's only because we can't see them. It doesn't mean that they don't exist." Leng Changxi turned around and said to Lu Wuyi, his cold eyes glittered through his silver mask."That's right." Qin Yunuan said, "Did you still remember what Maomu said that when he came to the Yeren Valley seven years ago? There was a conflict between them, yet he was the only survivor. He would just ne
The tents, food and other necessities of the 160-man squad were originally carried by seven horses. Now that the horses could no longer proceed, every one of them was carrying much more weight. As for the horses, they let go of the older ones and killed the younger ones for their meat. They need to utilize everything they could.They killed the horses in tears. The North Di people treasured their horses a lot, even more than their own lives. Seeing the soldiers killing horses, Leng Changxi turned his head away. He knew clearly about their pain.As they were about to leave, someone was feeling unfair."Wait, why do we all have to carry so much stuff, apart from Madam Tuoba, who's a lady, why is the rumored powerful Mr. Tuoba only carrying a spear with him?" After saying that, he threw a horse leg at Leng Changxi provocatively and said, "Come on, Mr. Tuoba, carry this horse leg. We are all equal. Look around. Every one of us carries two horse leg
The congee was toxic?Qin Yunuan looked at the porridge naturally. She had drunken most of the porridge. Leng Changxi got nervous and held the pulse of Qin Yunuan more tightly. Among all people here, there were only Cha and Qin Yunuan who drank the porridge, and the other people were fine. Lu Wuyi frowned and treated A Mo. He finally concluded that there was virulent gelsemium elegan in the porridge. Only a small amount could make people die in a short time.Suddenly, Leng Changxi felt a quiver in his heart heavily. He wanted to summon Lu Wuyi to treat Qin Yunuan, but Qin Yunuan stopped him."Did you feel anything abnormal about my pulse just now?"Leng Changxi calmed down. He pondered clearly and said, "Nothing abnormal. Your pulse is stable and strong.""Cha and I drunk the porridge. Cha gets some trouble, but I am fine. There are only two possibilities. Someone wanted to hurt Cha and added poison into his porridge,
The long spear of Leng Changxi was made of dark iron, which was extremely sharp. He poked the long spear deeply into a person's body and caused a massive hemorrhage. The scout in the front evaded quickly but still got bloody stains on her arm.Cha rushed to the front first. After he made sure that it was safe around, he checked the poked male adult in coarse brown gown. Leng Changxi had poked his carotid and caused blood splashing. The male adult seemed to still alive. Cha squinted and then trod the face of this man who was almost dead. After a ringing sound, the man died completely.The dark brown coarse gown was exactly identical to what Leng Changxi saw on the hillside. It could conclude that this man was a member of that mysterious tribe. His hair was tousy and dirty, and there was a middle-sized scar that seemed to be caused by some ferocious animals. It might be the reason why he fell behind and stayed in Yingguang Lake."What a pity," Wa
This man's eyebrows were slightly raised, with a trace of feminine temptation and charm. His appearance was womanly beautiful, but he was a man, a slutty man."Presumptuous!" In his illusion, Prince Ning was only in his mid-twenties, daring and high-spirited. This unknown general's teasing and flirting with the princess irritated him. He even shook the long sword in his hand, saying to the person in the silver armor, "You have to pay for your own words."After a fight, in the moving shadows of the sword, it was obvious that the man in silver armor showed mercy to Prince Ning and his men. However, Prince Ning became more aggressive. Then the silver armor flashed, and Prince Ning lay on the ground after an unguarded moment.The man in silver armor gave a faint, evil smile with a kind of elegant grace. His eyes were similar to those peerless beauties. They seemed to be able to knock people down.Normal people would avoid this man. But
It was a soft whisper, but it punched heavily on Leng Changxi's heart. Suddenly, there seemed to be a huge force pulling him out of this series of memories."Changxi?" Qin Yunuan quickly held on to the shaky Leng Changxi. She had known Leng Changxi for so long but had never seen him so flustered.Beads of sweat appeared on Leng Changxi's forehead, and he gasped quickly."What did you see, Changxi?" Qin Yunuan was a little worried. It was said that the fluorescent lake was weird, and Qin Yunuan was afraid that Leng Changxi would be confused by some phantoms in the lake and behave like the mad soldiers, nobody could pull them back. Fortunately, Leng Changxi raised his hand consciously to wipe off his sweat. He turned his head to Qin Yunuan and said gently, "I'm fine."Seeing Leng Changxi safe and sound, Wanyan Su and Lu Wuyi behind them also let out a sigh of relief. Leng Changxi was their backbone and cannot be lost.Th
In the remote mountain and the dense forest, a well-cultivated beautiful woman appeared suddenly.The group of people felt Yueya Mountain was getting weirder. Leng Changxi told others to be careful and led the way directly towards the trace left by the woman.“Changxi?” Qin Yunuan grabbed Leng Changxi's belt. She knew what he was going to do, but she felt worried for no reason."Don't worry," Leng Changxi stared at the direction in which the woman disappeared, "I've got an instinct that the woman will take me to a place."It was hard to distinguish between day and night in the forest. The trees they could see finally became fewer after the group of people had walked for a long time. The sun was shining golden light from afar, lighting their eyes. They had been following the woman's trace until her footprints disappeared beside a cliff. Cha looked down at the high cliff and exclaimed, "My gosh! There is such a high cliff in such a s
At that moment, Qin Yunuan became curious about the name suddenly mentioned by Elder Princess. She moved closer to her slowly and whispered by Elder Princess's ear, "Your Highness, why are you calling Jinzhi?""Dressing me up, of course," Elder Princess tilted her head to one side, and her tone was quite natural, "Jinzhi, what's wrong with you? You've been my personal maid for so many years. Yet you didn't know your responsibility?" While saying, Elder Princess sighed to herself, "Alas, it must be difficult for you. Donghua sends you and the nanny into the valley, bothering you to live a hard life with me."On their way there, Leng Changxi had actually told Qin Yunuan all he had seen and heard in the fairyland. Qin Yunuan remembered that Leng Changxi had mentioned that at first Jing Donghua sent two people to serve Elder Princess. One of them was the nanny who later betrayed, but the other wasn't mentioned. Well, she must be the servant girl named Jinzhi.
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
