Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan, who were downstairs, didn't know someone had decided their destiny. But they didn't have to know this because they always had their destiny in their own hands.
Looking up along the countless steps, they felt like these steps were connected to the endless darkness. Mengman, who led the way, turned back and said indifferently, "Follow me."
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan looked at each other and then followed him calmly. Cha and the other four people were left at the bottom and guarded by tribesmen. Seemingly, not everyone could go upstairs at will.
Walking on the last step, Qin Yunuan, who had a sensitive smell, had clearly smelt something burned. Although the room had been ventilated and cleaned, Qin Yunuan was still able to smell it out. It smelt like the burned tortoiseshell.
As she expected, there was a small furnace made of stones in the middle. In it were red-hot cobbles, and near it stood a grey-haire
Apparently, the "King" wanted to take advantage of Leng Changxi's Qigong to break the gate. Under such circumstances, people who were trapped here generally would try hard to fawn on the "King". But unexpectedly, Leng Changxi just turned around slightly and said, "I didn't know I was practicing Tongming Gate's Qigong until you told me just now. So I don't know how to employ it."The "King" looked stiff and said, "It doesn't matter. You will figure it out in face of death."Right at this time, a man went upstairs to report, and he spoke the tribe language that Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan didn't understand. After hearing what the man reported, the "King" was obviously in a trance. Then, he put on a weird smile, showing cruelty and maliciousness that people usually had before they killed others."A prince from North Di?" the "King" said complacently. "That's rather good. You mean, only 20 out of over 100 people survive?"The man nodde
Wanyan Su's eyes kindled with the resolution he showed when leaving the capital of North Di. Seeing Wanyan Su's unexplainable confidence, Leng Changxi said merely, "Say it only after you reach Kexili alive."On the other side, the "King" had returned to the stone castle again. The servant girl beside him helped him change clothes, which was much more convenient for him to act. The "King" kept staring firmly at the direction of the sunset, which was the West, and the direction of Kexili. He knew only too well about how much treasure there was in the huge arsenal.In the arsenal, there were cannons that never showed up in the world. Their barrels could hold ammunition as large as bowls. Once they were shot, their power was infinite. Therefore, they were the best choice to take cities and seize territories. There were also iron chariots in the arsenal, which were never recorded in history. Different from the chariots pulled by four horses, the iron one was pul
There was a flash of silver. Nothing was covering Mengman's body except for the whip made of vine, which could not bear one attack. Surprisingly, a spearhead made of dark iron saved their life.Appearing like a ghost, Leng Changxi held a long spear in his hand, with the spearhead against the long spear in the bronze soldier's hand. Powered by some mysterious machine, the bronze soldier had such great strength that even Leng Changxi, who was born with amazing strength, had a cold sweat."Leave! Be quick!" Leng Changxi lowered his head and excoriated Mengman.It was at that time when Mengman came back to earth. He quickly rose from the ground. Glancing at the slave behind him, Mengman kicked him into the warrior-horse array suddenly. Soon, the intrusion of such a big man triggered the trap. Several bronze soldiers around him reacted fast. Using their swords and long spears, they stabbed the slave into a sifter with a few attacks.Len
Wanyan Su watched his arms fall in front of him. Yasu was so anxious that she wanted to rush forward several times but was still frightened by the bloody scene. Qin Yunuan tried hard to calm herself down. After carefully analyzing the surrounding terrain, she calculated the correct position of the magnet according to the method in the untitled book."It's there." Qin Yunuan suddenly pointed to a place less than a dozen steps away from Leng Changxi. Qin Yunuan looked back at the catapult developed by the tribe itself. It was a very simple machine and was made up with limited resources, for example, thick wooden sticks. Only a few simple cowhide tendons were twisted and used to fix the sling port. Although the tendons were full of elasticity, the machine had never been tested. Its effect remained unknown. There was no guarantee that Leng Changxi wouldn't be hurt shooting from so far away."It's there," Qin Yunuan repeated, "throw a stone towards it. As long a
Chen Jingrui gave up the front position to Leng Changxi. He squinted, observing his performance."You'd better step back a little. I'm afraid I'll hurt you by mistake." These days, Leng Changxi had been learning to control the powerful genuine energy in his body under the guidance of Mengman. But according to Mengman's feedback, his efforts didn't seem to have an ideal payback. Otherwise, Chen Jingrui wouldn't have chosen Leng Changxi to sacrifice at the last minute."You better hurt me," Chen Jingrui said, but ordered someone to push his wheelchair back. "The hurting to me proves that you have some abilities."Leng Changxi sneered coldly and didn't speak. He stepped in front of the Duanlong gate. The huge gate was like a huge wave breaking through the sky, and Leng Changxi, who stood in front of it, was as small as a flatboat in the ocean. Qin Yunuan stood behind Leng Changxi, holding Leng Changxi's arm tightly with her hands. She was a little
Qin Yunuan remembered clearly that the fire-scroll she picked was only half, and its end had been wetted out completely. It was hard to ignite it. But this one was entirely unbroken and looked very new.Leng Changxi was astonished too, but then he felt he kicked something when he moved. He picked it up to check and found that a torch emerged on the empty stone platform. The head of the torch smelled of fresh kerosene, and the torch seemed to be made very recently.Qin Yunuan saw the scene and could not help but take a deep breath. The torch indicated that there was someone inside except Chen Jingrui. The person had been hiding in the weapon factory, which was like an ancient tomb.Leng Changxi held the hand of Qin Yunuan. The two people stared tightly at the infinite darkness in the front. They knew that the person who gave them fire-scroll and torch was hiding in the darkness. The person wanted to attract them to walk inside the darkness.
"Living well?" A Mo sneered at Leng Changxi's words, "They are just the living dead without souls. They can’t live well without their supreme faith.""But how come you make sure that we must stay here?" Leng Changxi Looked at A Mo with a smile, "you always raise your heels slightly when walking, which demonstrates that you are good at light skills. It's no wonder that you can go to the crystal coffin in the center from the stone platform to serve your master every day. You must have the highlight skills, but I do not figure out that you are high-skilled. You would fail if you fought with me."A Mo raised her head slightly. She just glanced at Qin Yunuan and said to Leng Changxi, "The woman beside you have got poisoned, and people outside are chasing you tightly. You can’t escape here."It was apparent that A Mo was shrewd.Poisoned?Qin Yunuan got nervous suddenly. She was very careful when she was in the tribe. She kn
He wouldn't even let go of her corpse? Qin Yunuan looked afar as if she could see the desire and determination in Chen Jingrui's eyes through the rock gate. Could it be possible that he insisted on entering the arsenal not only for the weapon blueprints but also to seize Chen Wan's corpse?"He's just a psychopath, a demon." A Mo continued fiercely. "In order to approach our master, he pretended to be an ordinary smith to steal the work of our master and force our master to marry him. Later, there was an accident in the arsenal, and our master was dead. But he still wouldn't give up. He settled down near the arsenal and used the evil poison of the south-western regions on the others who escaped with him. They became idiots who couldn't even speak, and they became dumber generation after generation. He himself had become the leader of these idiots, and he planned to re-enter the arsenal with his men.""Who told you these?" Qin Yunuan was unlike the others, wh
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
