"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
The rolling river water looked bloody and scarlet with a stench of death. In a blink of an eye, it attracted the people on the shore and the fishermen living here. Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi glanced at each other and stepped back silently, watching the reaction of the villagers.Many corpses that were about to be decaying also floated down from the upper reaches of the river full of bloody water. There were not only soldiers wearing armors among the floating corpses but also many innocent civilians. Some of them had their hands and feet cut off, while some even had their heads cut off for some unknown reasons. Various mutilated bodies and discrete limbs floated aimlessly in the water, which looked terrifying.The villagers immediately talked about it, and some people left quickly to find someone to take a closer look.The lame man Zhang stood in the front, "D*mn it. What's going on? The water is like this now. I'm afraid there will be no fish
Yu Haitang was so straightforward, which made Baili Ai surprised. Few people could tell his true age, so it seemed that Yu Haitang was perspicacious.Sima Ray immediately stepped forward and reported the latest situation to Yu Haitang anxiously, "I don’t know why Leng Changxi acted so weirdly this time. He sent picked troops to attack our military camp, but they didn't burn our army provisions or hurt our soldiers. Instead, they blew up the pit where the dead were buried. The soldiers and the people who died from the construction of the water camp were buried there. How it would benefit him?"Sima Ray frowned and wondered, but Yu Haitang just smiled slightly and teased the lion-faced monkey on his shoulders, "Try to win popular support? He is still green, unless he has already arranged his people into those stupid civilians. Otherwise, it is just in vain."Baili Ai was just 28 years old, and Sima Ray and Leng Changxi both knew that. When he app
As ships got closer, Leng Changxi and Sima Ray could see each other’s looks more clearly. Leng Changxi’s white armor looked shining and stunning while the golden armor of Sima Ray in the distance was opulent and luxurious."Fishing boats?" Sima Ray snorted with disdain. "After all these, I thought he had come up with a masterstroke. Well, it now seems not alarming at all."In Sima Ray’s view, Leng Changxi was fighting a hopeless battle. Did he really think that he could cross the Sui River with several broken fishing boats? Tilting his head, Sima Ray didn't hurry to order soldiers down to prepare cannons but just looked at those fishing boats in the river that seemed overwhelming as if he was watching a show.Yu Haitang lowered his head to take a sip of tea and said, "Your Royal Highness, it’s better not to underestimate him.""Maybe I am not wrong." Thinking of that Leng Changxi, the God of War, should borrow fishing boats to cros
"How arrogant you are," Yu Haitang said while smiling at Leng Changxi. For him, it seemed more interesting to tame Leng Changxi who was as wild as a wolf, than usurp the throne with Sima Ray, an ambitious prince."Leng Changxi, you should plot against me in secret. How insidious you are!" Sima Ray wielded his sword whose shine flashed like a silver flower and then disappeared quickly."An eye for an eye," Leng Changxi said while taking a glance at Sima Ray. "I will treat a gentleman with due respect. But for villains, I don't think I should do so."Leng Changxi jumped off the horse and the black-iron spear in his hand was awe-inspiring, while Sima Ray wielded his sword rapidly. They two hadn't fought with each other before. A royal member as he was, Sima Ray didn't stop practicing martial arts. This fight was a matter of prestige. He ordered all soldiers to step back and not to help him.The sword and the spear clanged. After dozen
Hearing that something was wrong there, Sima Ray hurried over. When he arrived, there had been many people encircling the scene."What are you standing here for? Isn't there a group of wild wolves at the east of the camp? If you have so much spare time, you'd better come here to drive off the wolves for me," After saying that, Sima Ray lifted the curtain and came in. The white curtain was pulled to the other side, under which Xu Ji was as skinny as a pile of dried bones. His skin was as thin as a layer of kite paper, which could be broken by a single poke. His facial features were deeply sunken, which could barely show his original graceful, god-like appearance. Even when Xu Ji was seriously ill, his appearance was still as gentle as jade due to Baili Ai's meticulous care, but now...Seeing Xu Ji lying on the bed like a terrifying skeleton, Sima Ray felt disgusting in his heart. At that time, a wheelchair was pushed slowly from outside the bed curtain. It w
Hearing that Leng Changxi only recruited more than half of the number of people coming for conscription, Sima Ray began to calculate in his heart. The left people must be the best among them. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask the spies to find out more. However, when he knew that there were even several Kunlun slaves, he laughed immediately."Is he really stupid?" Sima Ray was holding a golden bottle of wine in his hand. Although he was losing, he still didn't forget to enjoy, "Kunlun slaves are the undomesticated southern barbarians. They don't understand our words. They can't speak, and they won't be disciplined. What's wrong with Leng Changxi? Is he eager for quick success so he recruits such inferior people into his army?""It remains unknown who is the fool," a cold sentence rang outside Sima Ray's camp. A figure as tall as half a person, which sat on the chair, was set against the white camp curtain. Just one glance at it made one feel terrified.
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
