Grandpa is too violent 092 engagement token given by grandpa

  "Who are you?" The emperor raised his eyes, looking at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a light blue gauze dress and a white skirt, with her black hair tied up by a single wooden pin. Her face was plain and unadorned, with clear and bright eyes, elegant yet understated posture, and an air of nobility mixed with reserve. Compared to those lavishly dressed women in the inner chambers, she had several more points of simplicity and elegance.

  "My daughter is Ling Xue, and Ling Feng is my daughter's father." The woman in front of her slightly bowed her head, her soft voice carrying a hint of cleanliness and efficiency.

  The emperor looked at Ling Xue and his eyes lit up, "Do you know, if the crown prince has any mistakes, what crime should he be guilty of?"

  Ling Frost Snow replied calmly and composedly, "Although the Crown Prince was shot by an arrow, fortunately it did not hit his vital organs. If we don't remove it quickly, excessive blood loss will occur, and even the Great Luo Immortal cannot save him."

  "What a big tone." The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, gazing at the woman in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

  "Father Emperor." Ye Zi Ran raised her eyes, gazing at the woman in front of her, a hint of coldness flashing across her pupils as she said in a low voice, "Let her come."

  "Imperial son..." The emperor turned his gaze towards Ye Zi Ran, clearly distrustful of Ling Xue.

  "Your Majesty..." Ye Zi Ran looked at the emperor in front of him, his voice sinking a few degrees, "I have an idea in my heart."

  "What's still dawdling about? Hurry and carry the crown prince into the tent!" The emperor hastily shouted loudly.

  Ling Frost Snow raised her eyes and met Ye Zi Ran's gaze, still calm in the face of danger, holding a medicine box in her hand, she stepped forward and entered the camp.

  Yè Mèi Hūn gazed at the scene that had just unfolded, and this woman was indeed interesting. He recalled what she had said in the forest earlier, and a sly smile spread across his face. Then, he turned around and left to find a quiet place to hide.

  Xing Wuyun left the capital in the dead of night, riding his horse. Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at the same place where he and Feng Ao Tian had a drink together last time. He smiled as he glanced over, then rode away on his horse.

  After Feng Ao Tian Shang finished her early morning routine, she went straight to the wine house. Wei Zi Mo seemed to know that she would come again and was already waiting for her.

  "Three-tenths of your current industry is in my hands now." Feng Ao Tian's eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, looking at the seductive figure behind the beaded curtain, he smiled lightly.

  Wei Zi's eyes dimly shone as she looked at Feng Ao Tian, "It should be 40%."

  "Right, and another tenth was burned by Grandfather." Feng Ao Tian had just received the news. "Eight tenths, Grandfather has already occupied three tenths here, burned one tenth, and your place now only has four tenths left."

  "What's it to me?" Wei Zuo Mo asked nonchalantly, then raised his cup and took a light sip.

  Feng Ao Tian thought of Xing Wu Yun's words, he regarded wealth as his life, but now this appearance, it made her feel that she completely looked down on Feng Guo.

  Her eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness, "You don't care about these small industries anymore?"

  Wei Zimo snorted coldly in his heart, of course he cared. A fly was also meat, let alone the fact that four-tenths had been robbed from him. Now, the eighty percent of the industry he controlled had turned into forty percent overnight, with nearly half being taken away by her. He wouldn't be human if he didn't feel a pang in his heart. However, losing to someone but not losing face was one thing, but he couldn't possibly show it in front of her, or else where would the dignity of the world's number one richest man go?

  Feng Ao Tian looked at him with that expression, and continued to play with the cup in his hand, "How much longer do you plan on staying in Feng Guo?"

  "It's just two days ago." Wei Zuo Mo replied indifferently.

  Feng Ao Tian's mouth curled up with a sly smile, "Do you believe that I will take over all of your industries within these two days?"

  "I assure you, Your Highness, that within two days, I will completely destroy all the properties that were taken from you." Wei Zhen Mo also replied calmly.

  Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, he should have this ability, otherwise, she wouldn't have such a carefree and leisurely attitude, accompanying him to find fun here. She looked at Wei Zi Mo, "Master still has the same words as last time, do business with Master."

  Wei Zongmiao slightly raised her eyes, with a hint of disapproval in her gaze. "Your Highness, forcing someone to buy or sell is not the behavior of a true gentleman."

  "I'm not a gentleman to begin with, so let's just say it. Do or don't do, either we go our separate ways or we mutually benefit each other." Feng Ao Tian said as he put down the cup in his hand, "However, there is still another way that can be done."

  "What else does the prince want to say?" Wei Zimo asked casually.

  "It's said that if one can see your face, they can take half of your assets. I think this is more feasible than doing business with you." Feng Ao Tian's eyes flickered with implication.

  Wei Zemu's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, looking at Feng Ao Tian, "Your Highness, those who can lift my veil are all in the underworld."

  "It can't be that you're still alive, right?" Feng Ao Tian said slowly as he looked at Wei Zi Mo.

  "The prince is just joking." Wei Zimo's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

  Feng Ao Tian raised himself, walked slowly to the front of the beaded curtain, and shot a glance inside. "Far away in the sky yet near at hand, haven't you ever lifted your veil?"

  Wei Zong's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and then his wrist moved, the cup in his hand flying straight at Feng Ao Tian.

  Feng Ao Tian raised his voice and laughed, lifted his hand, the folding fan in his hand unfolded, steadily catching the incoming cup. He picked up the cup on the folding fan, looked at it for a while, "This color, Feng Guo is rare, now, it's been used by me, you don't need to take it back."

  Wei Zongyao's sleeve fluttered, a cold wind burst through the beaded curtain, and shot straight at Feng Ao Tian. Then his figure flashed, and he flicked out a pearl with his finger, which directly hit the cup, shattering it into powder.

  Feng Ao Tian gazed at the powder floating in front of him, then suddenly swung his fan and flashed past. Taking advantage of the moment he knocked over the cup, she had already brushed past his face, her arm even wrapping around his waist. With a gentle tug, the red sash tied around his waist was pulled open.

  Wei Zongmo stopped in his tracks, lowered his head, and saw that his clothes were disheveled. He raised his eyes and looked at the waistband in Feng Ao Tian's hand, then stood with his hands behind his back, turning away from her, "Your Highness, please return!"

  Feng Ao Tian leaned against the wall, lowering his head to look at the waistband in his hand. "The clothes you wore earlier were all touched by me, how can you still wear them on your body?"

  Wei Zuo Ming obviously paused for a moment, then lightly tapped his toes, and was about to fly away, but was blocked by Feng Ao Tian in front of him. He hastily retreated backwards, landing ten steps away from her.

  Feng Ao Tian smiled again, "I want to see you take off the clothes I've touched with my own eyes before you can leave."

  Wei Zimo raised his eyes, looking at her, without any beaded curtain blocking the way. The sunlight in the afternoon was particularly good, shining on his enchanting figure, and his beautiful eyes were even more radiant with a layer of luster, making him look exceptionally bright and captivating.

  "Prince Wang, if you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite." Wei Zimo said in a low voice, his face hidden behind the veil, but his tone was enough to make one grind their teeth.

  Feng Ao Tian smiled again, seemingly delighted, as if he had found his interest. He swayed the waistband in his hand and said, "No way, I've already touched you, now you're mine. It's only natural for me to check out your figure."

  "When did I become your person?" Wei Zimo felt that her shamelessness was even more shameful than Xing Wuyun's.

  Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this a token of engagement?"

  She lowered her head, stroking the pattern on her waistband. "In today's world, there are only a handful of people with such embroidery skills. I'll reluctantly accept your token of affection."

  Wei Zong Mo had thought that since the belt was already in her hands, he wouldn't touch it again. Unexpectedly, she made such a move, and his eyes flashed with a cold light as he flew towards her to attack.

  Feng Ao Tian stood still on the spot, a sly and charming smile spreading across his lips, "Beautiful woman, are you trying to throw yourself into my arms?"

  Wei Zimo had never seen such a scoundrel, and with a concentrated flame in his palm, he swung it forcefully at Feng Ao Tian's waistband.

  Feng Ao Tian swiftly dodged to the side, his body a blur as he spun around and appeared beside him. He reached out and yanked off the jade crown on his head, sending the waterfall-like black hair scattering in the wind.

  Wei Zemu hastily turned around, his eyes overflowing with coldness, seeing her so arrogant, and then said in a low voice, "You are challenging my patience."

  Feng Ao Tian crossed his arms over his chest and said slowly, "Didn't Xing Wu Yun intentionally leave your message behind just to let me come and keep you company?"

  Wei Zemu ignored his own cleanliness and directly swung his palm at her, Feng Ao Tian also flew up and the two of them started fighting in the wine building.

  After a long time, Feng Ao Tian flew down, his clothes disheveled. The Wei Zi Mo in front of him was also like this. He still fell ten steps away from her, coldly staring at her. When he saw that his waistband and jade crown had been destroyed by him, he felt relieved in his heart. Then, he turned around and flew away.

  Feng Ao Tian watched him leave, and smiled softly, "Beautiful one, you're really passionate today, but I've touched your body, even if you destroy the token of our engagement, you're still mine."

  Wei Zuo's footsteps echoed in the backyard, and Feng Ao Tian Yue's joyful voice could be heard. He then stepped into the hot spring pool behind him, took off his clothes that had been touched by her, shattered them into powder, and then thoroughly submerged his body in the hot spring pool.

  Suddenly, a voice rang out, the dark guard outside had been subdued, and a figure immediately fell to the side of the pool, looking at the people in the hot spring with great interest.

  Wei Zongmo hastily covered his chest with both hands, his bright eyes fixed on Feng Ao Tian who was sitting lazily by the pool, gritting his teeth and saying, "What do you want to do?"

  "Alright, let's make a deal," Feng Ao Tian said as he slowly walked towards the hot spring pool. "If you touch this pool water, will you be able to rush out immediately?"

  Wei Zimo looked at Feng Ao Tian with a face full of disgust, if she had touched the pool water, he would have definitely not been able to bear it and would have flown out. Just as she thought this, she saw that Feng Ao Tian was actually wearing shoes, and his shoe sole slowly extended towards the pool water.

  He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Alright."

  Feng Ao Tian immediately retracted his foot and sat down on one side, taking out the contract that had been prepared in his arms and handing it over to him, "Sign."

  Wei Zongmo looked at Feng Ao Tian, then turned around, raised his hand, and drew the red pen from the nearby desk. He signed his name on it, stamped it with a seal, and threw it out, landing in Feng Ao Tian's hands. He turned around again, "Your Highness, you should leave now."

  Feng Ao Tian looked at the contract in his hand and then turned to Wei Zi Mo, "Tomorrow, I have something to attend to, so I won't be able to see off the Third Imperial Prince."

  Wei Zongmo did not respond, now he hated to tear Feng Ao Tian into pieces, thinking that from childhood to adulthood, he had never been played with by others like this before. Usually, it was him who extorted others, but now he was being extorted by others. Thinking of this, he suddenly became furious and slapped his palms on the hot spring pool, splashing countless water droplets.

  Feng Ao Tian returned to the Regent's Palace with the contract in hand, and now the entire economy of Feng Guo was under her control, which was naturally a joyful thing for her.

  Wei Zemu sat in the hot spring pool, and her mind flashed back to when she had just fought with Feng Ao Tian. She had actually touched his arm, his waist, and even his hair. Thinking about it now, she felt that she had suffered a great loss. This loss, he would definitely seek an opportunity to recover with interest. Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and wiped the places on her body where she had touched him through her clothes.

  Upon arriving at the Wang Fu, I saw Mu Hanjin and Lan Xuan Shu had already returned to their bedroom, reviewing memorials.

  She entered the study in high spirits, sat down beside Mu Hanjin, took over the memorial he had just annotated, picked up a red pen, and carefully flipped through it.

  Mo Hanjin looked at Feng Ao Tian's disheveled clothes, with several torn pieces, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what happened to you..."

  "It doesn't matter." Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes and looked at Mu Han Jin, "Is there any news from the Soul Devouring Pavilion?"

  "It's nothing." Mu Hanjin also found it strange. They had clearly made preparations, so why hadn't they made a move yet?

  "Feng Ao Tian immediately asked, 'What is Taishang Huang doing now?'"

  "The Empress Dowager's palace had some movement last night, but it was all their people inside, so we couldn't investigate what exactly happened." Mu Hanjin replied in a low voice.

  Feng Ao Tian nodded again, "Everything will depend on what happens next."

  "Your Highness, if so, three days later, they showed signs of movement again. What should we do?" Mu Hanjin thought that their current behavior was too calm.

  Feng Ao Tian continued to review the memorial, raised his eyes and looked at a distance, then said, "If he still has other unusual movements, it can only be done by human effort and heaven's will."

  Mù Hánjǐn suddenly felt that although she was a member of the "Wind" tribe, she hadn't been able to help her in any way.

  Lan Yun Shu raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, silent and wordless. From now on, he only needed to do his own job well.

  "Feng Ao Tian said in a deep voice, 'After today, the entire Phoenix Country's Wei Zi Mo's industry can be restored to normal. The remaining matters will be handed over to you for follow-up, and don't make any mistakes.'"

  "Yes." The soul replied in a low voice.

  The Empress Dowager's bedroom, Feng Ao Yun supported her somewhat dizzy forehead, got up by herself, and then saw Xing Zhiyan kneeling in the main hall.

  Feng Ao Yun walked out of the inner hall and approached her, looking at her, "What happened?"

  "Your Majesty, the outcome of victory or defeat will be decided in these two days." Xing Zhiyan raised her eyes and looked at Feng Ao Yun, "You must make up your mind."

  Feng Ao Yun looked at Xing Zhiyan and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

  "Used to be afraid, but now I'm not." Xing Zhiyan's face was still swollen and red, but the tone of her words was extremely calm.

  "Feng Ao Yun lowered his voice and smiled, 'This battle was bound to come, I've waited for so long, it's time to make a decision.'"

  "If we lose..." Xing Zhiyan looked at Feng Ao Yun, they would all have to die.

  Feng Ao Yun stood in front of her, looking at her, "Losing is death, winning is also death, it's just a matter of who loses and who wins."

  Xing Zhiyan looked at Feng Ao Yun, afraid that he had already conceded defeat in his heart.

  The country of Wu Yue was shocked by the Crown Prince being shot with an arrow, and the autumnal sacrifice also came to an end. The officials also left one after another.

  Ye Zi lay in the imperial carriage, but what appeared in her mind was Ling Xue's face, and she couldn't help but feel that there were still women as calm as this in the world.

  Ye Mei lay in her own sedan chair, when night fell, she returned to the imperial palace, he immediately entered the bedroom, and then saw the woman standing solemnly in the hall.

  He slightly raised his eyebrows, wondering what this woman's intentions were. He then looked at Xiang Han and Chu Xia beside him, "I'm tired, go prepare the bath."

  "Yes." Xiang Han replied, and then immediately retreated and went out.

  Ye Mei Xi entered the grand hall carelessly and sat down, looking at the woman in front of her, "Speak."

  "The fifth prince indeed has a poor memory." Ling Xue looked at Ye Mei Xi, then sat down, "Do you still remember that Princess Yu Yue loved to sneak out and play when she was young?"

  "Hmm." Ye Xuan heard her mention Yuèyuè and felt a sudden pang in his heart.

  "She likes going to a place."

  "Mm." Yexi nodded and looked at her, "Do you know Xi Yue?"

  "Has Princess Yuèyuè ever mentioned why she likes going to that place?" Ling Xuěxuě continued to ask.

  "She said that only there, can make her mood better." Ye Yanxi thought, every time she was depressed, she would go to that place, but later on, for some reason, she never went again.

  "Because of that place, she has her bosom friend." Ling Xue looked at Ye Mei Xi, "That person is my daughter."

  "Is it you?" Ye Mei Xi raised her eyes, apparently somewhat surprised. "You and Xi Yue?"

  "The Princess Yuese sneaked out of the palace to see me. My daughter and Princess Yuese have been close friends since childhood, and they share all their secrets with each other. My daughter always mentions Your Highness, but then she followed her father to the border and never returned to the capital. A year ago, I learned about Princess Yuese's situation, and later, I heard that Your Highness had disappeared. My daughter knew that there must be a conspiracy behind it. Now, she has come back from the border specifically for Princess Yuese." Ling Xuesnow looked at Ye Miao with sorrow in her eyes.

  Ye Mei looked at Ling Fengxue, a cold glint flashing in her charming eyes, and continued, "Even so, I've never been one to rely on others' help."

  "I have come to inform the Fifth Prince that if there is a day when I am needed, I will definitely assist. Ling Xue said, slowly getting up, "I bid farewell."

  Ye Mei Xi looked at her figure, and a hint of sorrow flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of the tragic scene when Yu Yue died, his heart aching for a moment before slowly closing his eyes.

  Deep into the night, Feng Ao Tian walked out of the study, raised his eyes to gaze at the distant sky, but in his heart, there was a sense of loss and disorientation.

  Mu Hanjin walked to her side, as she gazed at the same scenery, "Your Highness, are you worried?"

  "Hmm." Feng Ao Tian nodded, "Sometimes, waiting is the hardest part."

  Mu Hanjin raised her hand and grasped it, "After the next day, the outcome will be decided, and King Wang can completely ascend to the throne."

  Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze towards him, "You know Grandfather's thoughts, Feng Guo is just the beginning."

  "I will accompany you, Your Highness." Mu Hanjin looked at Feng Ao Tian, "The twelve small countries are all barely surviving by relying on the great powers. On one hand, they are worried about being annexed by the great powers, and on the other hand, they have to worry about neighboring countries invading. Since you are the destined king, Your Highness will surely unify the mountains and rivers."

  "But this road is so arduous, perhaps when I stand on that peak and suddenly look back, who will be accompanying me?" Feng Ao Tian suddenly felt a chill.

  Mu Hanjin pulled her into his arms, "There will be someone who will always accompany the prince, I will stay by the prince's side until death."

  Feng Ao Tian raised her eyes, looking at Mu Han Jin. In this world, there is someone who can disregard her past, disregard whether she is male or female, and disregard all sorts of things, and willingly accompany her by her side. For her, it is also a rare treasure.

  She grasped Mu Hanjin's hand, "Go back inside."

  "Has Xuan Ge returned to the palace?" Feng Ao Tian looked around the bedroom and saw no one.

  Mu Hanjin smiled and replied, "Your Highness, isn't it better for me to accompany you?"

  Feng Ao Tian Yang raised his voice and laughed, "I just discovered that you also have such a vinegar temper."

  Mo Hanjin took her hand and stepped into the inner hall, and the two of them lay down on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

  Longing for the cold, I sit far away on the empty ground, looking at today's sky, calculating that if nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow after noon, I will be able to reach the southwest.

  At this moment, a sudden shout for killing came from not far away. Mu Han Yao hurriedly got up and asked in a low voice, "What happened ahead?"

  "General, it seems like someone is blocking our way ahead." Li Su hastily stepped forward to report.

  "Who is it?" Mu Han Yao asked immediately.

  "It seems like the rebel army." Li Su immediately replied.

  Mu Han's eyes flashed with a cold light, "This terrain is narrow and is the only way to the southwest. Ahead of us is a gorge, if they set up an ambush here, we will be trapped."

  "It seems they had anticipated this and set an ambush here." Li Su said with a gloomy face.

  "Hmm." Mu Han nodded remotely, "Send someone to scout ahead and see what the situation is like up front, how many men are there?"

  "Yes." Li Su immediately responded and sent someone over.

  Leng Pei Han looked at Mu Han Yao, "Brother Mu Han, what should we do now?"

  Mu Han looked at Leng Pei Han from afar, thinking that if they were to die here, he would still want her to live and return. He then said, "Listen to me now, if anything happens later, you will follow the original path back."

  Leng Pei Han looked at Mu Han Yao, a hint of dim light flashing in her eyes. "Han Yao brother, I won't run away with my tail between my legs. If I do go back, Mother will kill me anyway."

  "This battle is going to be a fierce one, and if you follow me now, you'll be in danger. I need to get you back safely." Mu Han said quietly, looking at Leng Tianhuan.

  "Han Yang brother, I am the daughter of the Leng family. I would rather die on the battlefield than become a deserter." Leng Pei Han had been instilled with this belief by General Leng since childhood, which was why she was so stubborn.

  Mu Han saw her from afar and didn't say a word, she also stopped talking, then stood up and walked forward.

  After a moment, Li Su returned and continued, "General, they indeed set up an ambush in the canyon."

  "Tonight, I must break out of this valley." Mu Han's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he suddenly had a premonition that if he couldn't reach the southwest safely, then the entire Feng Guo would be trampled.

  He looked at Li Su and said, "But is there another way around?"

  Leng Pei Han stood on one side, looking at the terrain in front of her, "Han Yang Gege, I have a way."

  Mu Han looked at Leng Pei Han from afar and asked, "What can you do?"

  "Look at this place." Ling Pei Han pointed to the location on the topographic map, "Behind this canyon is a steep cliff. We can circle around from behind and surround them."

  Mu Han Yao looked at the place in front of him, it was indeed possible, but now it was deep night, if he wasn't careful, he would fall into an abyss of thousands of feet, and if they found out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  He also thought about it, but now it's indeed more difficult to do.

  Suddenly a dark shadow fell, "General Mu!"

  Mu Han Yao looked at the black-clad man in front of him and stood up straight, looking at him, "Does Your Highness have any instructions?"

  "General Mu, this is what the prince has instructed me to hand over to you." The man in black then handed a brocade pouch to Mu Han Yao.

  Mu Han took the silk pouch, opened it, and saw a note inside. After reading it, his eyes flashed with a hint of splendor, then he looked at the man in black, "This general understands."

  "That's all for today." The man in black replied, and then flew away immediately.

  Leng Pei Han looked at Mu Han's distant gaze and saw the joy flashing in his eyes, then asked, "Brother Mu Han, what did the prince write?"

  "A brilliant plan." Mu Han continued, looking at Li Su beside him, "Pass down the order, have the whole army dress up, hold torches in their hands, form a 'heaven' character, and advance into the mountain valley."

  "General, isn't this a path of self-destruction?" Li Su was somewhat perplexed and looked towards Mu Han Yao.

  "It doesn't matter, just follow orders." Mu Han said quietly, looking at Li Su from afar.

  "Yes." Li Su responded, and immediately turned around to tidy up his troops.

  Mu Han handed a brocade pouch to Leng Pei Han, "The king wants you to do something."

  "What's going on?" Leng Pei Han looked at Mu Han Yao, then lowered her head to look at the words on the paper. At first, she was stunned, and then a flash of surprise flickered in her eyes. "The prince actually knows I'm here?"

  "This is the token, take it with you and rush through this secret passage. You must deliver it before I arrive at the valley." Mu Han Yao instructed, looking towards Leng Pei Han.

  "Good." Leng Pei Han hastily took over the token, slung his sword behind him and ran off.

  Li Su arranged his troops and then went before Mu Rong's face, "General, the troops are now in order."

  "Alright, let's go." Murong Yu then mounted his horse, leading the vanguard, and set off first.

  The soldiers behind him saw this and hurriedly followed, even if they would lose their lives in a moment, they were willing.

  Li Su rode his horse and walked beside Mu Han's side, still puzzled, but thinking that the general could be so determined, he knew that he had thought of a plan.

  The moonlight was sparse, and the large group of people walked towards the canyon with torches in their hands, neither fast nor slow. After half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the canyon, looking out at the pitch-blackness before them, as a chilly wind blew by.

  Mu Han continued to walk forward without any hesitation, until he entered the valley entrance. Then, countless torches were raised on both sides of the valley, and the shouting voices echoed throughout the valley, deafening.

  Li Su hastily looked up vigilantly, but saw Leng Pei Han's small figure slowly rushing down, followed by a man wearing casual clothes.

  "See General Mu, I have been waiting for a long time at this place." The man in front of him said with a bow.

  "Mu Han looked at the person in front of him, then turned to Leng Pei Han, 'Alright, let's go!'"

  Li Su was still confused, looking at the person in front of him, "General, are they our own people?"

  "Hmm." Mu Han nodded, "This gorge, half a day before we arrived, the king had already sent people to kill the rebel army that was originally ambushed here."

  Li Su was taken aback again, thinking that there were still people in this world who could predict things like a god. "Can the Regent King really foretell the future?"

  Leng Pei Han hastily rode her horse, following closely beside Mu Han Yao's side, and said, "Brother Han Yao, I heard that the imperial examination is imminent, yet no one has gone to take it. The Regent King said that if there are still not enough candidates in half a month, he will establish a women's imperial examination."

  Mo Han turned his gaze and looked at Leng Pei Han, "Do you want to go?"

  "Hmm." Rong Pei Han felt that this trip was absolutely worthwhile. Along the way, not only did she broaden her horizons, but also witnessed the wisdom of the Regent King. She thought to herself, if there really were women who entered the imperial court as officials, she would definitely go.

  "It's not good for a daughter to stay in her boudoir all the time, protecting the family and country is originally a man's responsibility." Mu Han Yao hastily said.

  "Why can't women be officials in the imperial court?" Leng Pei Han was not convinced, she now looked forward to solving the southwestern matter as soon as possible and returning to the capital. For the first time, she felt that the capital city was so endearing to her.

  Mo Han was silent for a moment, and at this time, Feng Ao Tian's face appeared in his mind, as well as her appearance in women's clothing, and he suddenly lost his soul.

  Leng Pei Han saw that he wasn't speaking and also fell silent. She just thought about it, after all, the store still hadn't opened yet.

  Before dawn, Mu Han Yao had already left the canyon and rushed southwest. After noon, he arrived at the northwest gate of the city in the southwest. Then, he raised his token, and the city gate could be opened.

  This was merely the first city in the southwest, and at the same time, Yi Yang's cavalry had also arrived. Mu Han Lian hastily welcomed them out of the city gate and saw Yi Yang before him, hastily advancing forward, "Han Lian greets General Yuan!"

  "Hurry up and don't be polite." Yi Yang smiled warmly at Mu Han Yao, even though he was dusty from the journey, but still looked majestic as ever.

  Mu Han raised his eyes and looked at Yi Yang, "General, now that the two armies have merged, what should we do next?"

  Yi Yang immediately took out the brocade pouch, "This was sent by the king to General Ben."

  "Does Your Highness have a clever plan?" Mu Han Yao continued to ask in response.

  Yi Yang opened the brocade pouch and saw a single word: "Wait."

  Longing for cold, thinking about it, isn't it just Pingding? How can it be waiting?

  "Pei Han pays respects to General." Pei Han said respectfully, bowing to Yi Yang.

  Yi Yang turned his gaze and saw Leng Peihan, "You are General Leng's daughter?"

  "It's true." Leng Pei Han thought that over the years, due to the Regent's rule, everyone was just trying to survive on their own and hadn't interacted with each other.

  "How did you end up here?" Yi Yang asked with some confusion, turning his gaze towards Mu Han Yao.

  "It's a long story, General. Since the prince has asked us to wait, I'll just wait here." Mu Han said quietly, looking at Yi Yang in the distance.

  "Hmm." Yi Yang also didn't know why the Regent was being so cautious, but after this trip, he came to understand the Regent's methods and his formidable abilities.

  The Regent's Palace, Feng Ao Tian walked out of the bedroom, looking at the sky in front of him, with not a cloud in sight, and surprisingly, there was not even a hint of wind. Unfortunately, such good weather would soon turn into a bloody storm.

  At this time, Wei Zuo had already left the capital. He sat in a carriage made of fragrant wood, and for two days, due to Feng Ao's cunning, he lost his wife and soldiers, and for the first time, he suffered a great defeat, which was quite infuriating. However, now, he hasn't thought of a way to turn the situation around.

  Suddenly, a yellowish figure fell down and leaned against the carriage, separated by the curtain, "Lost out?"

  Wei Zimo thought of this and hated Xing Wuyun even more, coldly saying, "From today on, the matters within the pavilion have nothing to do with me, you handle them yourself."

  Xing Wuyun listened, and her bright smile from just now was hastily pulled down. "You're also too petty."

  "I'm naturally narrow-minded." Wei Zimo said coldly, these two days, he had been wrapping himself tightly, and as soon as he thought that he had been touched by someone, and it was a man, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

  Xing Wuyun listened to Wei Zimo's tone and knew that he had not only suffered a loss, but a great one. He curiously asked, "What exactly did Feng Ao Tian do to you?"

  "Hmph." Wei Zimo let out a cold snort, then with a wave of his large hand, he knocked Xing Wuyun off the carriage. "From now on, do not allow him to appear within ten meters of this palace."

  "Yes, Your Highness." The coachman hastily replied.

  "Next stop, change carriages." Wei Zimo said in a low voice, then lay down inside the carriage, his chest heaving with anger.

  Xing Wuyun listened to his words, and the smile on his face grew deeper. He himself had suffered a loss, so he couldn't let Wei Zimo laugh at him for nothing. However, he couldn't help but feel curious about what Feng Ao Tian had done to make someone who was normally not emotional become so angry. Was it because he had been touched? As soon as this thought occurred to him, he burst out laughing loudly and then quickly mounted his horse and left first.

  Inside the palace, Xing Zhiyan received the news and hastily stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, Mu Han Yao's 100,000 troops have joined forces with Yi Yang's 100,000 troops. It is believed that within two days, the entire southwestern rebellion will be quelled."

  "Hmm." Feng Ao Yun nodded and said, "Send all the men out, surround the entire Southwest, trap them in the Southwest, and make it impossible for them to escape."

  "Yes." Xing Zhiyan hastily replied and immediately gave orders.

  "Your Majesty, can we take action with the person hidden in the palace?" Guo Hui asked in a low voice.

  "The ones targeted by Feng Ao will be led away, and those hiding in the dark will start to act." Feng Aoyun continued.

  "Yes." Guo Hui hastily replied, and then retreated out.

  Feng Ao Yun stood up, her face as warm and smooth as jade, but what shone through was a ruthless determination, even if it meant being destroyed together with the jade.

  Mu Han Yao and Yi Yang had not received the order to move, when suddenly, a report came in: "General, there are suddenly large numbers of troops outside, surrounding us all."

  Yi Yang was shocked at once and hurriedly climbed up the city wall. He saw that there were as many as 300,000 people and horses in front of him, surrounding them here.

  A cold gleam flashed across his distant gaze, and the 300,000 troops were another part of the stationed army. He suddenly saw a woman sitting upright on horseback, who was the same woman from the two Huai rivers last time.

  "General, the Northern City has been surrounded by the rebels." Li Su hastily stepped forward to report.

  "It seems they want to surround us here." Yi Yang thought about it and felt that the current situation was not optimistic, but why would Prince Wang let them hold back? Was it waiting for them to be slaughtered like fish on a chopping board?

  "How many men and horses does the rebel army have?" Mu Han asked immediately.

  "Two hundred thousand." Li Su said immediately afterwards.

  "That makes a total of five hundred thousand men and horses, now how long can our grain and fodder last?" Mu Han's face was cold and stern.

  Li Su immediately replied, "We can hold out for three days at most."

  "Three days?" Mu Han thought, if they didn't send troops, then it would be to trap them to death in this place. Even if they broke out, it would be a desperate situation with little chance of survival.

  "The king has not yet issued an order, so we'll just have to wait." Yi Yang said calmly, looking at the people and horses in front of him. He then turned around and walked into the council chamber, studying the topographic map.

  Mu Han Yao followed closely and entered the inner chamber. Cold Pei Han looked at the scene before her, but couldn't see through why the Regent King wanted them to stand down.

  In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and Feng Ao Tian also received the news.

  "Your Highness, there's been some movement at Soul Devouring Pavilion." Mu Hanjin said from the side.

  "Hmm, as long as they dare to make a move, I'll take action." Feng Ao Tian continued.

  "Your Majesty, General Yi and General Mu are trapped in the southwestern city of Detian, with a total of 500,000 troops besieging them from both inside and out." The soul's voice broke the silence within the palace.

  Mu Hanjin listened and looked at Feng Ao Tian again, "Your Highness, is this the place where you couldn't find that army of 300,000?"

  "Hmm." Feng Ao Tian nodded, "Now is the time to appear."

  "Your Highness, what should we do next?" Mu Hanjin continued to say, "They must be planning to trap the eldest brother and Yi Yuanshuai's 200,000 troops in the southwest."

  "Your Highness, the Wang Mansion has been completely surrounded." Huan's voice sounded again.

  Feng Ao Tian sat on the soft couch, slowly putting down the teacup in his hand, and then looked at Mu Han Jin, "If so, I lost today, how should you?"

  "Where is the king going, I will follow him?" Mu Hanjin smiled and looked at Feng Ao Tian. His fate was destined to be hers from birth. This battle laid the foundation for her future unification of the world. If she succeeded, then this road would have just begun. If she failed, then this Feng country would cease to exist.

  At the border, Leng Qianye felt very strange. In the past few days, Fu Han had only sent troops to stand at the city gate and provoke a few times, but he hadn't taken any action. What was going on? Had something happened in the capital?

  Ji Bai hastily walked in and looked at Leng Qianye, "General, the situation in Gui Guo is too unusual, you should go take a look."

  "What happened?" Cold Qianye looked at Jipai with a difficult expression, as if he had foreseen something, and then got up and walked towards the city tower.

  Under the city gate, Fu Han led a horse forward, riding a fine horse and looking up at Leng Qianye. The number of people and horses behind him was more than twice as many as usual. Mu Han had taken away half of them, but now, with the addition of the 40,000 people and horses from the border, there were only 100,000 in total, whereas the ones in front of him already numbered 300,000.

  "It seems that something has indeed happened in the capital." Cold Qianye's eyes were cold and detached, and he said in a low voice, "Is there any news from the capital?"
