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
