For this sneak attack, Sima Ray took with him 1,500 soldiers, the same number of soldiers in the Leng Army. He had become paranoid about fighting against Leng Changxi. However, he lost the majority of them who attacked the military camp from three directions, with only dozens alive. This said a lot about how cruel and ruthless Leng Changxi was.
What happened next was so rare. Chief commander of two armies should walk shoulder to shoulder on the narrow path in the woods. Leng Changxi, followed by Qin Yunuan, walked with his hands behind his back. Qiu Shuihan, whose hands were tied by a hemp rope, followed Sima Ray who looked back at her in disgust from time to time.
"How about killing her? I don't want to bring her back," Sima Ray said with his head upward and looked as if he now could still decide Qiu Shuihan's fate. He then recalled how fierce Qiu Shuihan was to stab him in his throat with the hairpin. If she knew Qiu Murong and his four disciples were dea
Chen Feng also followed Sima Ray only after his rebellion. Discreet and paranoid as Sima Ray was, usually he wouldn't trust any generals coming from outside. However, Chen Feng had been behaving well in the past year. For several times, he had risked his life during the fight, saving Sima Ray from danger, which made Sima Ray look at this humble little general with new eyes. However, now..."Your Royal Highness, although I'm not a nobleman of Qi, my family has been serving the army of Qi for generations, so we can be counted as a valiant family. Having borne shame beside you, I think it's time for me to work for Qi. Your Royal Highness, please hand over the great seal and give the order back to Qi," Chen Feng stood outside, saying plausible words, "After all, you're just a concubine's son. You are not qualified to inherit the imperial power.""I'm not qualified?" Sima Ray only felt that Chen Feng was obviously a fence-sitter, "Well, in the past, who had kill
Qin Yunuan didn't know how long she had slept. She only felt that her whole body was soft. Her mind was in a whirl as if she had had a long dream. In the dream, her mother was still alive. Having been pregnant for eight months, she was working hard with needlework under a little lampion."Mother, have a rest. I can help you with the needlework.""The more needlework I do, the more cloth I can buy to make more beautiful clothes for your little brother in my belly. Yunuan, you are still young. It's cold in the winter. Hurry to warm yourself in the quilt.""No. Mother, I want to learn to do needlework from you and make clothes for my little brother. Mother, please teach me."It was said that the Third Miss of the Qin Family was good at doing needlework. However, nobody knew that the old saying, "Children in poor families can become independent very early", was the true portrayal of Qin Yunuan's childhood.Nobody knew it u
Leng Changxi was a man of few words. However, speaking of Baili Ai, he had talked a lot about him to Qin Yunuan."He used to an orphan taken in by my master. He began to follow my master three days earlier than I did, so he became my senior fellow. Indeed, he learned so hard, but he lacked talent, so his progress was slow. However, he seemed to be more cunning than others. One day we needed to hand in an analysis of the five senses of human faces. It took me a long time to write a very satisfying article after researching many people's five senses. However, when it was time to hand in the article, I found that his article was exactly the same as mine. What's more, he had already communicated with our master. If I hadn't known about it in advance, then it would be me who plagiarized.""What happened then?" Qin Yunuan knew that Leng Changxi must not be taken advantage of by others since he could now mention it so easily."Then I rewrite a better
By hearing it, everyone knew immediately it was Mu Qingyu's voice. The generals and soldiers in the camps were all excited. Firstly, the reinforcement had come. Secondly, the best infanta in West Xia led the troop herself to help them. It was so inspiring.However, Qin Yunuan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She was walking at the end, and Maner was following by her side."Madam, you don't look well," Maner saw that Qin Yunuan frowned slightly and knew that Qin Yunuan was worrying about something, "Do you want to go back to have a rest?""I'm alright," Qin Yunuan turned her head and said in a low voice. Then she followed Leng Changxi and other people to greet the guest.The person coming here was definitely Infanta Mu Qingyu. She wore a soft hedgehog armor with a white dress as the base. Her dressing complemented her elegant, graceful temperament. Her hair was tied up into a high ponytail with a few strands of long braided
Mu Qingyu confidently looked at Qin Yunuan. The latter looked back fearlessly, tilted her head and said, "Your Highness threaten Changxi to marry you with 200,000 reinforcements. Are you that desperate to get married?"Mu Qingyu shook her head and put down the comb in her hand. "I have so many admirers, but sadly, I don't like any one of them. In comparison, I think Leng Changxi, who is handsome and talented, is my best choice. Besides, only I am good enough for such a wonderful man."Qin Yunuan smiled with disdain and said, "I didn't expect you should have such an idea in your mind. So, you just pretended to be tender and virtuous while we were in West Xia? You're really good at this."Then they heard some noise outside. Mu Qingyu raised her eyebrows and suddenly stood up. She whispered to Qin Yunuan, "But my show is not over yet. Ho, just wait and see."All of a sudden, Mu Qingyu pushed Qin Yunuan hard. Not expecting this, Qin Yu
"Leng Changxi, don't think too highly of yourself," Baili Ai still wore the mask and looked exactly like Mu Qingyu. In the distance, most soldiers Sima Ray sent to attack Leng Changxi were shot to death, while the rest who surrendered were captured."Yuanyang, Leng Shuang, what are you still waiting for?" Qin Yunuan ordered. Then they dripped potions in the pot to Mu Qingyu. At once, the fair skin on her face fell off. The originally wrinkled skin and grey hair appeared.The originally young girl who stood up straight should become an old bent man in such a short time. Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan had already prepared for this, so they stayed calm when seeing this. But Tuoba Wuyu and other people were amazed and speechless.Baili Ai who disguised himself as Mu Qingyu was skilled at acting and fooled everyone. He looked over others slowly until he saw Sima Ray's soldiers were all captured. Then he turned his grey eyes to Qin Yunuan. She should be
It had been several days since Shangguan Yuen was rescued, and Qin Yunuan sent Ting Xue to take care of her specially. But she only heard that Shangguan Yuen had been in a coma, and she was awake only half an hour a day. Qin Yunuan had taken care of her before, but it was a pity that Shangguan Yuen had been in sound sleep all the time. She couldn't even open her eyes, let alone speak. So they didn't get a chance to talk with each other certainly.When Qin Yunuan opened the curtain and entered Shangguan Yuen's tent, Shangguan Yuen just straightened up weakly. She had been on the bed for a long time before, except for drinking some gruel when she was awake.As soon as Qin Yunuan came in, she signaled Maner and Ting Xue to leave. She took over the warm bowl of gruel, blew on a tablespoon of it, and delivered it to Shangguan Yuen’s mouth. Shangguan Yuen lowered her head and took a sip, whose expression couldn't be seen.Qin Yunuan smiled and said,
Sima Ray led the army outside, and the man who guarded the Royal City was actually Yu Haitang, a character in historical books.In the evening, Qin Yunuan prepared a bucket of hot water for Leng Changxi, and sprinkled some herbs in it that would help people calm the mind. Taking such a medicinal soup bath could best relieve Leng Changxi’s recent strained nerves.Qin Yunuan washed her hands and soaked them in vinegar to make her fingers softer before massaging the acupoints for Leng Changxi."I don't understand." Qin Yunuan shook her head, thinking of what happened in the discussion tent in the evening, "Why could Sima Ray make it? Yu Haitang was the state teacher of North Di's previous dynasty, North Liao, and a legendary character who could be listed in historical books. Why would he be willing to be Sima Ray's subordinate, guard the Royal City for him, and keep the news without leaking?"Speaking of this, Qin Yunuan suddenly thou
