The Qilian Mountains were situated in the west south of Qi. Luguan guarded the key pass to Qi in the south of the Qilian Mountains. Leng Changxi heard about guardians who guarded Luguan had been transferred several months ago. They were young but able.
"Miraculous traps?" Tuoba Wuyu looked down upon on mysterious tricks. Ancestors and gods were what West Xia people believed. Therefore, they considered artificial tricks were ineffective. "They are only diagrams. General Leng, please wait. Let me ask my fellows to smash them into pieces."
Leng Changxi's army stopped in front of a narrow valley. It was of a high possibility that they fell into an ambush in such a pocket-like valley. Once they came in, they might not get out that easy. Leng Changxi led his army at the mouth of the valley. He observed the unknown environment before them for a while but couldn't find any clues. The deadlock was broken when a scout brought back a strange pattern.
The
How bold Shuihan was! Hadn't until Qin Yunuan said anything, a teacup fell to the ground with a clear clatter. Maner and Ting Xue put aside the curtain and hurried out but see no one. They were wondering who the person was running that fast."It must be Leng Shuang." Qin Yunuan stood outside the curtain. Leng Shuang must have been trembling under such snowy cold weather. But it had no comparison with her disappointment. Ice-cold, ruthless Heiying opened her locked heart. Her heart was also smashed into pieces because of him."Let me replace Shuihan to look after Hei Ying." Maner volunteered. She didn't want Leng Shuang to suffer from heartbreak anymore. Shuihan pretended to be weak and soft. When Maner and Ting Xue happened to figure out she was feeding the medicine for Heiying mouth to mouth, Shuihan shyly crouched her neck like she was the poor victim. She contended that it was the convention to serve a patient in her hometown. This was the first time Shu
The mist of dawn awoke the two hundred thousand soldiers in black armor. Leng Changxi got up early. Qin Yunuan fastened the armor for him carefully. The silver helmet and the incomparably hard chest protector made Leng Changxi look more mettlesome. His eyes were piercing, but there were apparent worries in them.The army came to the gate of the valley smoothly. They could see nothing on the opposite side of the slot canyon. Leng Changxi sat on the large horse as the head of the army. Heiying's arm was still tied with a bandage which was stained with blood. The bleeding had not stopped completely yet. Qin Yunuan did not ride a horse with Leng Changxi this time but sat on a carriage covered by a black curtain behind. Maner and Ting Xue stayed at the base camp as doctors, while Shuihan, the fragile lady, insisted on following them, who then guarded the carriage with Qin Yunuan."I wonder whether brother Heiying's wound has got better. It was still terrible yes
In the evening, the army had already marched towards the valley under the order of Leng Changxi in accordance with the established plan. They didn't dare to move forward rashly towards the pocket-shaped valley. Leng Changxi had ordered two teams of cavalry and archers to take a shortcut to both sides of the valley in the morning. The horses they rode were not ordinary horses that were only good at running, but pony horses which were commonly used for transporting tea in the southwest region. And these horses were good at climbing and walking on steep mountain roads.Leng Changxi rode a horse in front, and behind him was the Leng Army who had fought side by side with him for countless times. Qin Yunuan got out of the carriage and rode on a gentle maroon mare. The black cloak covered her hair which was fluttering in the wind, and her fair face stood out among the loess and brownstones.Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and there seemed to be a strong burst
The two pieces of rocks, as heavy as a thousand pounds, were still moving. Heiying fixed his eyes on Xu Ji. The resentment between the Xu Family and the Cang Family could be traced back a long time ago. Heiying seemed to remember that after his grandfather's sudden death in the palace, there were lots of accusations against the Cang Family. Their mansion was confiscated. His father had to take him from the huge mansion with seven front yards and seven back yards to a hut. His mother had to raise the family by doing needlework for people.Relying on the advantage of terrain, now Xu Ji couldn't help but feel proud when he saw from top to bottom the over 1,000 people played by him in hand. Especially when he saw that even Leng Changxi, the Mars of Qi, was as helpless as a trapped animal, he could not hold back his laughing voice.Mouth holding an agate grape, Xu Ji chuckled complacently, "General Leng, I know you're a famous general. I also don't want you to s
"No!" Xu Ji's heartbreaking cry from the top of the valley could not beat Qin Yunuan's quick eyes and hands. The grey materials for starting a fire were soon lit. The little sparkle was like a lively and mischievous child, running and jumping along the set route. Xu Ji opened his eyes as wide as copper bells. He had to witness that his greatest strategy was exploded into ashes in an instant before him.Leng Changxi stepped back and covered Qin Yunuan's ears tightly without any space. Qin Yunuan only saw that the towering stones before her eyes were instantly destroyed into dross. The loud cracking sound was deafening. Qin Yunuan was kept from the impact of the heatwave of the overwhelming explosion because of Leng Changxi's protection.The formula of the explosive was taken from the weapon factory founded by Chen Wan in the Yeren Valley, on the countless secret formulas on the top of the cave. It was lucky that Qin Yunuan was gifted with an extraordinary re
At this time, Maner pulled back the curtain and walked in with a tray in her hand. Leng Wu subconsciously walked to her to protect her because he knew Qiu Shuihan, who looked weak in fact, was a skilled martial artist.Two ordinary objects were placed on the tray Maner held. On the left was a piece of delicate embroidery, while on the right was the array map the scout took back that day."All generals and soldiers who have been to the rock gates know that the array is not fixed. It will only be activated when someone walks in. However, to draw this detailed map, one has to stand in a high position, which therefore makes the person unable to activate the rock gates. If so, how could one draw such a detailed map?" Qin Yunuan explained slowly.Leng Changxi echoed, "So this map is forged. You have bought over that scout and asked him to bring back the map. I truly doubted him then. He indeed had been out for a long time, but how could a little-educ
It was sunny today. Leng Changxi stood on the stadium to count soldiers, among whom the Leng Army stood in front of soldiers in black armor. These 1,500 soldiers of the Leng Army had proven their good teamwork by boldly walking in the rock gates to deploy explosive packages as planned in a short time.This was one reason why the Leng Army stood in front of soldiers in black armor. Another reason was that the latter deliberately did so. Soldiers in front would face dangers first. Now that the Leng Army would like to take the lead, how would soldiers in black armor refuse?They had taken a three-day rest. Now they were going to fight with Sima Ray's army. Luguan was the key pass to Qi, so if they broke in, they would enter the central region in Qi, which was so close to Qi's capital city.Leng Changxi was in silver armor, and the red tassel around his neck flew with the wind. Qin Yunuan wore a piece of plain white clothes. She quietly stood behin
At midnight, only the moon and stars were awake, but they were covered by thick clouds, indicating a heavy rainfall tomorrow morning.It was quiet and peaceful in Leng Changxi's military camp. On the high wooden lookout tower in the woods in the west of the camp stood a cautious sentry. He looked ahead and seemed to have not noticed people in the woods.A group of people narrowly broke a path in the woods. At this dark night, they looked like ghosts.The leading person was a robust young man. Young as he was, he was the most skilled one, but also the best protected one. Sudden dizziness made him tremble and almost fall down."Your Royal Highness," said the guard near him who supported him at once, "Are you alright? They're just a mob of rebels. You don't have to lead the sneak attack in person. We can take care of this.""No." "Your Royal Highness" the guard talked to referred to Sima Ray who was wildly arrogant on the
