After Sima Ray left, Qin Yunuan held the butterfly-shaped hairpin all the time. Leng Changxi’s face seemed to appeare in her eyes. Leng Changxi had never worn a mask when he was alone with Qin Yunuan. Once after making out, Changxi hugged Qin Yunuan, who had a reddish complexion. A hairpin appeared in his hands. It was softly fitted to her scalp from Qin Yunuan’s ears.
“It was for you.”
“It’s very beautiful.”
“It’s not just beautiful,” Leng Changxi coddled her with a smile, and his big hand turned along the lines of the hairpin. It turned out that the copper handle could be unscrewed on the outside, revealing a silver cylinder with four edges on the top. It cut iron like mud.
“It was to protect you.”
Leng Changxi’s deep and sexy words seemed to echo in Qin Yunuan’s ears, but now this hairpin had already killed seventeen correctional officers under Leng Shuang’s hands. Sima Ray would never have expected that Leng Shuang not only caused casualties of the guards, but she also approached Qin Yunuan’s stone chamber and returned the hairpin.
Qin Yunuan left in a hurry. The hairpin was the only thing on her body that had Leng Changxi’s mark. She couldn’t throw it away. Qin Yunuan twisted the hairpin back and placed it on her heart. There was a burst of pain. She had no idea how Leng Changxi was doing now. Was he injured? Did he miss her?
A bright moon was in the sky. Qin Yunuan couldn’t see the moon in her stone chamber. But those under the moon would spend this night of lovesickness with the bright moonlight.
Under the full moon, the palace seemed to glow in gold, and it was a bit out of tune with the night. As Leng Changxi climbed up and looked into the distance, he saw the fire that rose in Sima Ray’s camp on the street outside the Rosefinch Gate. He had to acknowledge that Sima Ray was a good player in the dark. Since his disappearance on the road to Imperial Mausoleum, Leng Changxi had sent people to search Sima Ray’s whereabouts in nearby state capitals, but they found nothing.
It was as if he had vanished in the air.
No one could have imagined that Sima Ray appeared again in Jinling. Strangely, Leng Changxi couldn’t have collected any traces of his journey. Looking at the campfires of the distant enemy raging up, Leng Changxi felt the helplessness of a trapped animal for the first time. What froze his heart more was the fact that he knew there must be someone tricky among his men. Otherwise, Sima Ray couldn’t have walked around so unscrupulously.
Thinking of that, Leng Changxi felt his eyes darkened as he looked into the distance. Suddenly, he saw a small purple dot appearing in Sima Ray’s camp, constantly coming towards the Rosefinch Gate while contending with the soldiers.
At this time, someone from below hurriedly reported, “General, it seems that someone from the enemy has broken through and is coming towards us.”
The reporter had barely finished when Leng Wu, who stood beside Leng Changxi, recognized that “someone” at first sight.
“Sister.” Leng Wu shouted. In a hurry, he even prompted to jump directly from the wall to help in Leng Shuang’s fight.
“Leng Wu!” Leng Changxi gave him a loud shout to calm him down, “Open the palace gate.”
“General, no,” Shang Xianhua persuaded from the side, “If the enemy seizes this opportunity to enter the palace, the inner palace and the outer one are separated by only one wooden door, which is totally unstoppable.”
“Listen to me, open the palace door,” Leng Changxi had the confidence that came from nowhere. “The Leng Army may not have exercised since the battle with East Qin.”
Shang Xianhua seemed to hesitate for a while, then agreed with fortitude.
The three-inch thick, vermilion palace door suddenly opened a small slit, then wider and wider. The Jinling army on the opposite side was busy dealing with the sudden appearance of the purple-clothed master. No one noticed the opening of the palace door as it was wide opened. The one who rushed out first on his horse was Leng Wu. He used a pair of sky-reaching halberds. His arm strength was incredible as he swung aggressively into the Jinling Army. With a stroke of the halberd, he smashed the skull of a Jinling soldier.
“Brother.” Leng Shuang, who was struggling to kill the enemy, had wounds on her arm. Half of her sleeve was wet with blood. Seeing her, Leng Wu was even more distressed. He brutally struck the two soldiers who wanted to attack Leng Shuang onto the ground.
The appearance of Leng Wu attracted more Jinling soldiers. After a while, there was the sound of soldiers rushing towards the enemy under the Rosefinch Gate. It was like the roaring of a tiger or a dragon, full of momentum and murderous aura.
“The Leng Army is here!” There were men in Jinling soldiers who were terrified at the name of the Leng Army. Without this Leng Army, Jinling soldiers wouldn’t have been scratching their ears and cheeks in embarrassment at the Rosefinch Gate for so long. They didn’t dare to attack rashly but probe only. Every time, the explore team had no one returned.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the Jinling Army. It was uneasy to reorganize the situation quickly, and no one even cared about the orders of generals.
This was the purpose of Leng Changxi. The reason why the Jinling Army sent people to patrol day and night and guarded the palace wall strictly was to prevent the people from contacting the outside. Leng Shuang’s sudden appearance and ferocious rushing soldiers gave the Jinling Army confusion first rather than fear.
Following the appearance of Leng Wu, the Jinling soldiers would be at a loss again. At this time, the Jinling Army’s military spirit was dissipated. Fear had already developed. They were attacking at this time would twice the result with half the effort.
The general of the Jinling Army was could Chu Tang. He was tall, courageous and decisive. He was also an effective helper beside Sima Ray. He drove out and rushed into the Leng’s army in black iron armor. After a few fights, he was still at the upper hand. It seemed that he was a master in fighting.
But what a pity…
“You’re too impulsive.” Leng Changxi smiled softly. He heard this General Chu cursing humiliating words while waving a spear, fighting against one hundred enemies, “F**k this. I see you, Leng Changxi, as nothing but a tortoise with a shrunken head. You let your people do their jobs for you, but you stand on the wall and watch. You guys follow a general like this. Hey, you are all spineless.”
Provocation tactics?
“How dare you talk about our general?” There was an immediate uproar in the Leng army. They all saw what Leng Changxi did and knew his merit. They couldn’t stand Chu Tang talking wildly.
Immediately, dozens of soldiers of the Leng Army swarmed up at Chu Tang and surrounded him, but Chu Tang suddenly changed from the rampage posture he had just now. Instead, he retreated step by step towards the Jinling Barracks.
This was…
“Leading the sheep into the tiger’s prey? It’s kind of interesting.” It seems that Chu Tang had a way. He deliberately provoked the Leng army, and then led the three hundred people to the Jinling barracks. No matter how brave these 300 people were, they could not defeat the overwhelming majority of the other side.
“Prepare the horse for me!” Leng Changxi yelled in anger. Under the palace wall, his black and white horse was led to the palace gate immediately.
On the battlefield, Leng Changxi used a slashing spear with a silver spearhead and an iron handle. Holding the spear, he felt his eyes narrowed, and his feet were lifted as if he was in the wind. He jumped directly from the three-foot-high palace wall. Nobody would dare to try it at such a height if he was not among the best light skills masters in Qi.
Leng Changxi’s coat was roaring in the wind. After landing, he turned over and drove directly on the horse. Opposite him was a fierce fight. Leng Wu had successfully helped Leng Shuang to break through the encirclement. He brought a fast horse with him. Leng Shuang rode on with the bloody crape myrtle soft sword in her hand. The killing seems to have just begun.
Like silver lightning, Leng Changxi was dressed in silver armor. Almost in an instant, his spear lifted up and down. The soldiers who were fighting with Chu were stunned. That living man in front of him suddenly lost his head. Leng Changxi took his spear back with a handsome posture and put his hands behind him.
Someone suddenly exclaimed, “General Chu’s head is on the flag.”
Following the voice, they could see a head that was inserted into the spearhead of the yellow military flag of the Jinling Army. The blood flowed down the flagpole, while the blood on Leng Changxi’s spear was coagulated on the tip of the blade and had not yet dropped.
He was fast, precise and fierce to an extend that had never been heard of before.
Just when everyone was extremely shocked, Leng Changxi’s green horse neighed, as if he knew that his master was to talk.
Leng Changxi had changed his mask to a silver one. Along with his silver armor, he seemed invulnerable.
“You are not killed today because we are all people of Qi. General Chu was a lesson. Whoever dares to slander me or the Leng Army will die!” Leng Changxi lifted his head slightly. He seemed to meet the gloomy eyes sitting in the chariot in the distance, “Go back and tell Prince Ray, I will fight with him till the end. One day, he will pay for his ignorance and recklessness. It depends on his ability whether he could enter the palace or not. Return!”
The flag waved as the eight hundred soldiers of the Leng Army retreated to the palace gate in an orderly manner. During the whole process, no one in the entire Jinling army dared to move. Until the palace gate was heavily closed again, the soldiers of the Jinling army looked at each other, puzzled and still felt that what happened just now seemed to be a dream.
The eight hundred Leng soldiers were excited after the battle. Courage and faith flew in their blood.
“General, Leng Shuang is injured. I want her to go back and rest first.” Leng Wu held Leng Shuang in his arms. Leng Shuang’s arms and shoulders were bleeding. Although the injury was not serious, too much blood loss would also kill her.
“Zhang Ruting should still be in the palace. He was the best doctor. Go and find him.” Leng Changxi nodded in agreement.
Leng Shuang struggled, “Why don’t you ask me where Third Young Madam is, General? Why don’t you ask if she was safe?”
Leng Changxi nodded and smiled, “Since you escaped, Nuan must be alive. Although her martial arts were not as good as yours, she is smarter than you.”
Leng Shuang’s corner of the mouth twitched. She opened her mouth and said, “Yes, it was Third Young Madam who helped me escape. She asked me to settle Xi’er and Ting Xue down before going to the palace to help you. And she wanted you to rest assured. Old Madam gave her a body protector before passing away, and her maid Yuanyang now changed her name to Miss Chen in the east of the city. She would take care of Xi’er and Ting Xue for her. She said that everything was fine for her, and you should not worry, General,” Leng Shuang hesitated and then told Leng Changxi of the news, “Third Young Madam, she has been diagnosed that you will have a child.”
