The inspection team was on its way back to the Royal Palace with Qi's twenty-members' diplomatic mission, of which Shi Rongyao was the envoy who took the lead. Shi Rongyao had a lean figure. Unlike those gentle civil officials, he was icy and intimidating. It seemed Sima Ray sent him for something.
Leng Changxi got down from his horse. "What do you think of him?" He passed Leng Wu and asked him.
Leng Wu pondered a while and said, "Light skills, not bad. The skill of long knives may be excellent. The gap between general and him was too wide for him to catch up, even though he had been given enough time."
"Indeed." Leng Changxi made the same judgment, "How could a person whose martial skills were far below me react at the same time just like me? Plus, he stood further, which meant he sensed that accident faster than me. Those facts contradict our previous cognition. Most importantly, Nuan noticed the approaching assassination and informed me, and
The Elder Princess closed her eyes tightly, seeming to be in a coma, while the assassin in black frowned tightly and looked very nervous. Sure enough, after a while, Leng Changxi came over from the entrance of the hall. After four to five minutes, Yuanyang and Leng Shuang arrived one after another, looking alert.Jing Donghua stood up suddenly, “What are you doing?” The assassin in black and Shi Rongyao were obviously in the same group.Since things had come to such a pass, Shi Rongyao didn’t intend to say any claptrap then. He directly ordered someone to help the Elder Princess to stand up and said to Jing Donghua, “Thank you for finding our Elder Princess who has been missing for so many years for Qi. Since fallen leaves always return to the roots, it is reasonable for us to bring our Elder Princess home.""Qinghe is my first wife. I won't allow you to take her away casually." Jing Donghua ordered on the hall, and then the soldiers in black a
Shi Rongyao appeared to know that Elder Princess was Jing Donghua and Leng Changxi's weakness. Shi Rongyao dragged her near to his side, though Elder Princess came to herself. She was too feeble to open her eyes. It seemed that the man in black must have drugged her with enough doses.With one hand coercing Elder Princess, Shi Rongyao's other hand was holding a curved knife tightly. The crescent-like blade was at her throat. Noticing that, Leng Changxi thrust his dagger into the gap of steps. He then took over a crossbow from Leng Wu's hand. Such crossbow was unique to West Xia, which could shoot three arrows at a time. Leng Changxi threw away two arrows sideways and left the sharpest central one. He closed one eye to aim at Shi Rongyao's eye.Shi Rongyao sneered. He dragged Elder Princess closer like a shield in front of him. He provoked, "You are outstanding for power and accuracy in archery, I know. But right now, we are so close. The arrow is so powerfu
Jing Donghua's words were absolute confirmation. As for Shi Rongyao, he could never have thought that when the eunuch led them to the road in the Royal Palace, the bamboo on both sides of the road had been painted with overpowering drugs, which could make people unconscious and anesthetic. The bamboo was easy to attract butterflies, which could contribute more to the spread of the drug. However, the eunuch, who seemed to smile and flatter all the way, had taken the medicine early as a matter of fact.Seeing that the assassin picked out by him carefully was caught by Jing Donghua and Leng Changxi, Shi Rongyao couldn't accept the fact. However, he got a broken arm and a blind eye. Even Dou Meishuang, his most helpful assistant in West Xia was shot to death by Leng Changxi's arrow.Shi Rongyao trembled and stood up, staring at Leng Changxi and Jing Donghua straight. Suddenly, blood came out from the corner of his mouth."Shi Rongyao bites his tong
"What's wrong with the Yunlong Valley?" Maner was really confused, but she could indeed feel that when Leng Wu followed the general to leave, he looked obviously a little unsettled. However, when she asked him about it, he merely told her not to worry and to take good care of Qin Yunuan in West Xia, expecting his message of returning safely. Actually, Maner knew that Leng Wu took the excuse of taking care of Qin Yunuan just to let her stay in West Xia."Yunlong Valley is not high, but the miasma is strong inside, and it has nurtured a strange creature, the wild monkey.""What's so horrifying about wild monkeys? According to the skill of Leng Shuang, she can cut down several of them by one attack," while comforting Qin Yunuan, Ting Xue brought White Fungus Broth for her to help her body recover. Having laid for three days, although Qin Yunuan recovered her feeling of limbs, her stomach was still empty."I don't need to worry if they are ordinary
The fluting was a great help. With it, soldiers in black armor wielded their weapons to strike back. At this time, monkeys that had shown their true colors were like lambs to the slaughter and quickly killed by swift "butchers".Leng Changxi kept staring at the woman who played the flute on the distant hillside. In a piece of light purple clothes, she had a delicate and small face and a pair of fair hands which she used to hold the flute.It was Nuan.After Qin Yunuan's arrival, the stalemate that had lasted for a day came to an end in just one hour. When cleaning up the mess, Leng Wu caught many wild monkeys. They had to admit that these monkeys were very smart. After being caught, they mimicked crying children or weeping women to make soldiers who escorted them feel pity for them."Everyone, put these into your ears." Leng Wu helped soldiers escorting monkeys to put into ears the cotton balls which were the size of people's ear h
Nearly at once, soldiers standing aside laughed and booed. They were all waiting to see General Leng, who looked so weak compared to Tuoba Wuyu, to make a fool of himself. They hadn't seen him fought since he was appointed to be the General. Besides, Leng Changxi looked fairly handsome and weak. His face was rather pale, as if he hadn't exposed himself to the sunlight for long, so soldiers thought he was weak.Tuoba Wuyu was very aggressive, but Leng Changxi stood still. Leng Wu became worried and then was comforted by what Qin Yunuan said. "Don't worry. Changxi can easily defeat such a strong man now." Qin Yunuan briefly explained to Leng Wu that Leng Changxi's Qigong of Tongming Gate had been activated when they were in the Yeren Valley. Leng Wu was surprised. There should be such a kind of powerful Qigong. No wonder he felt Leng Changxi had totally different genuine energy now.Two axes Tuoba Wuyu used were like two scary and overwhelming tigers. But Len
Maner hadn't figured out what Yuanyang and Leng Shuang meant, but at this time, a figure already jumped lightly on the tent. That swift man was one of the top martial artists. He quickly took out a pen-thick bamboo tube in which there was a poisoned arrow. Right when he gently gashed the tent and was ready to shoot the arrow, he felt a cold dagger was pointed at his throat."Sir, I'm afraid it's impolite for you to jump on others' tent at late night." Leng Shuang smiled and looked at the assassin who paused because of her appearance. Yuanyang sent a signal, and at once, Leng Wu led soldiers in black armor who ambushed to capture three other assassins who were on the lookout.Leng Changxi pulled the curtain back and walked out, followed by Qin Yunuan. Seeing four people who were tied up, Leng Changxi looked back at Qin Yunuan and nodded to her, "You were right. It seems that some other people also want to kill us besides them.""Them" referred t
Sima Ray confidently spoke out Leng Changxi's "crimes", but both Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan knew clearly that he was defaming Leng Changxi. This was his dirty trick. Wanyan Su already colluded with him. By doing so, he could also help Wanyan Su defeat Wanyan Ba and control North Di."His Majesty won't believe in you." Leng Changxi tilted his head a bit. "Although all people in Qi think His Majesty appoints you to be the Guardian of Qi, we both know it's not true. His Majesty is still conscious, but you have put him under house arrest.""So what?" Sima Ray kept his chin up. Having held great power for some time, he became more arrogant. "In Qi, you are indeed a traitor all people hate. And you can't go back to North Di, either. The Grand Khan is not well, and Wanyan Su runs the country now. As far as I know, you two have already turned against each other in the Yeren valley,"Leng Changxi turned around and sneered, "Your Royal Highness, you're
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
