It was an annual event that the emperor paid his visit to the army. He would inspect how well his army was trained. Generally speaking, only courtiers, instead of princes, had the chance to accompany, and those who on the journey were either highly expected courtiers or princes to be selected crown princes. If the emperor brought the fake bastard with him, everyone would know he was first in line to the throne.
“He is an unidentified person who made his sudden appearance from nothing. Why he can be treated that well?” Qin Yunuan was puzzled. She used to label this counterfeit as a mediocrity. So did Leng Changxi. But from this case, they underestimated his ability.
“Jing Yuanchu was behind the scheme. He brought that bastard, Du Wei back. Du Wei was highly similar to His Majesty, considering their appearance, utterance and expression were almost the same. Their blood coagulated together, which was also a convincing fact. After that, Jing Yuanchu produced ch
The lighted room was crowded with people. The rustling noises with people's talking voice covered the sound of Leng Changxi's moving out the tile with the tip of his long finger.The half-a-chi-wide little hole was enough for Leng Changxi to observe the whole picture inside. Du Wei was sitting in a big bathtub to have a bath with his eyes closed. He looked rather painful. The maids around him were hurried to spread some herbs to his bathwater. There was a swaying figure behind the folding screen. His identity remained a secret until he began to speak."You've behaved really well recently. At least, His Majesty trusts you very much," the person behind the folding screen stroke out slowly. As Leng Changxi had expected, he was Jing Yuanchu.There must have been a connection between Jing Yuanchu and Du Wei.Jing Yuanchu strode to Du Wei. He snapped out his finger suddenly and poked it hard at Du Wei's bare shoulder, who hissed as if th
"It's okay. I'm fine," Du Wei smiled and waved, but his pale face and cold sweat had betrayed his physical condition.Jing Yuanchu said hurriedly, "Mr. Du looks a little uncomfortable. You'd better go back first.""No. No need for that," Jing Yuanxiao suddenly stopped Du Wei, who wanted to leave quickly, "This time, Shishi happened to send an excellent doctor to follow me. I only knew about it last night. She cured my insomnia with merely a pair of soothing incense. What about inviting her to diagnose Mr. Du?""You've lauded the doctor to the skies," Jing Donghua looked at Du Wei. Judging from his pale face, he knew that his body must be out of condition, "Take the doctor here to have a look."In a short time, a flock of red hemline swept the city wall stairs place gently. Wearing a jade hairpin and having no makeup, Qin Yunuan came elegantly. Jing Yuanchu recognized her, and Jing Donghua had seen her. She is the little maid beside
When they were talking, Leng Changxi led an old woman in her sixties to slowly walk upstairs. She was thinly clad so waddled because of the furious wind.Leng Changxi directly took off his fox-fur robe, which was used to keep himself warm, and helped the old woman put it on. This old woman, or Granny Yu, was the one who fell down to the ground when the army passed by. Qin Yunuan helped her stand up at that time.She came a long way only for one thing.Granny Yu was from an ordinary peasant family in West Liang. She lived with her only grandson. Unfortunately, however, her grandson died not long ago, leaving her alone. She missed her grandson so much that she cried every day and even set up a thatched shack near the grave to accompany her grandson. But someone dug up the grave in less than 7 days after her grandson's death. The left corpse was incomplete. Or more precisely, the corpse's skin was peeled off.Granny Yu couldn't take t
Jing Yuanchu was shocked, but it was too late for him to avoid it. However, a guard near him did all he could to fend off the spear. As a result, the sharp spearhead grazed Jing Yuanchu's shoulder. Blood from the wound tinted his clothes at once.Leng Changxi in all black stood on the top of the wall. Raindrops made him wet, so his chest and abdominal muscles appeared against his cotton short top, showing his vigor. Large raindrops fell on his shining black-iron spearhead and down to the ground from the blade. Jing Yuanchu didn't expect that Leng Changxi would hide his spear in the wall dent. How did he make this?"You have the foresight, but only you can't beat up a group of people. You truly can hurt me. However, can you defeat all soldiers behind me?" Jing Yuanchu took a step back. A dozen of soldiers behind took out their machetes and swords to fight. Qin Yunuan, who stood alone, became their target.But unexpectedly, Qin Yunuan slightly le
Jing Yuanchu sounded unexplainably confident, making everyone nervous. He quickly ran his eyes over everyone on the wall as if he had been selecting his booty.Suddenly, Jing Yuanchu looked at Jing Yuanxiao and murmured, "It's time.""One..." Jing Yuanchu started to count down.“What are you doing?""Two..." Jing Yuanchu wore an evil smile."Three!" When Jing Yuanchu finished, Jing Yuanxiao took out a blue-and-white-porcelain bottle directly from his sleeve. The bottle that was as small as a thumb but extremely delicate had an old wooden stopper. It was just an ordinary porcelain bottle, but when Jing Yuanchu saw it, his smile froze."Yuanchu, are you looking for this?" Jing Yuanxiao didn't look native anymore but shrewd. His sharp eyes were very like those of Jing Donghua, reflecting his wisdom. Jing Yuanxiao tilted his head a bit and showed his majesty, which completely oppressed Jing Yuanchu.
Wearing a sweet smile, Qin Yunuan looked back at Leng Changxi who was extremely tender. They two understood each other's feelings, and there was full of love in their eyes. They didn't notice Jing Yuanxiao's arrival until they heard he coughed out of awkwardness."Changxi, you two are indeed deeply attached to each other, which is so enviable." Jing Yuanxiao smiled. After he held the porcelain bottle and strode forward to lay bare Jing Yuanchu's evil plot, no one would think the Crown Prince in West Xia was a lame duck anymore."Your Royal Highness, your wife and you are also a loving couple." Qin Yunuan didn't feel shy and directly expressed her admiration for the affection between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Jing Yuanxiao lowered his head, and the smile on his face was so sweet."Your Royal Highness, Mr. Leng, Mrs. Leng, His Majesty wants you to come in." The eunuch in charge walked out to report. Jing Yuanxiao was going to take
There were busy soldiers all around. After the rebellion, what was left was not only Jing Yuanchu, who was still in a coma, but also 130,000 soldiers of the rebel forces and 70,000 disabled soldiers, who had eyes dug out, or tongue cut out because of their unwillingness to join the rebellion. Although the 200,000 black-armored soldiers had taken many military doctors, everyone hoped that they could have countless arms facing so many injured people."I'll try to persuade father to help you," Jing Yuanxiao walked closer and looked at Leng Changxi's deep eyes. Their eyes were much alike, with so many secrets hiding in them.Leng Changxi nodded but didn't speak. Jing Yuanxiao sighed with emotion, "However, I have never thought that you will give up the position of a prince for you. You need to know that Jing Yuanchu had gone to great lengths to rise up from simply the child of an imperial maid to a prince in the past.""I'm just keeping my words,"
"I... I'm the leader of the second detachment of the third battalion of the Yellow Flag Army camp," the wounded soldier gasped for breath."I'm not asking who you are now. I'm asking who you were before. What happened before you joined the Yellow Flag Battalion?" Qin Yunuan stared at the corner of the wounded soldier's eye with a thick layer of blood scab. While ordering Maner to do some simple treatment before setting the fracture for the wounded soldier, she whispered to the wounded soldier in a low voice, "The black Kylin on your shoulder is the symbol of the Leng Army of Qi."The wounded soldier trembled. This secret was only known to the 3,000 people in the Leng Army and General Leng. And he seemed to be familiar with the woman whispering gently beside his ear. Was she the wife of General Leng, the girl of the Qin Family?"Madam Leng?""It's me."The wounded soldier got excited. He wanted to say something, but Qin
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
