Chapter Seventy-One: The Curtain Falls

  Cao Pi tore through the night sky and fled in disarray. As they gazed up at the pitch-black sky, everyone fell silent.

  Cao Pi was really too overbearing, Li Fei gathered the power of 100,000 national heavenly soldiers to fight him, but unexpectedly couldn't keep him back, letting such a master escape. For anyone, it's a sharp blade hanging over their heads, from now on, no one can be at ease anymore.

  "My god, Cao Pi is really something else, he can even run away like this?" Qin Lang stared with a pair of incredulous eyes, blankly gazing at the empty night sky, his entire body's hair standing on end.

  "The means of the cultivators are indeed unpredictable, leaving behind such a hidden danger, a thorn in the back." Mo Gu Yun's face was solemn as he said this.

  "What exactly is a cultivator?" Qin Lin had been filled with doubts since he first heard this term.

  "Let's settle things here first, and I'll tell you the details later!" Mo Gu Yun said, looking at the chaotic Wang City, and then took Qin Cang down to the ground.

  Qin Lang was speechless, looking at the dilapidated and crumbling houses around him, his heart also sighed. All along, because of his extraordinary abilities, Qin Lang's cultivation had been smooth sailing, and sometimes he even looked down on himself, thinking that one day he would become an unparalleled strongman.

  Until today, Qin Huan just discovered that this world is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In front of those truly powerful experts, he himself didn't even have a single thread of resistance. That so-called immortal cultivator Cao Pi was actually able to withstand the power of 100,000 heavenly soldiers with his own strength alone, which can be said to be defying the heavens. If it were him instead, he would probably have been drowned by saliva long ago.

  All the way, Qin Huan was dazed, until he followed Cao Zhi back to the already dilapidated palace hall, where Cao Zhi kept shaking Qin Huan's arm, and Qin Huan finally came to his senses.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Guang looked at Cao Zhi who was waving his arm and asked.

  "Langya, you must take charge for me! Look at the situation, I'm losing control!" Cao Zhi's legs began to tremble again.

  Following Cao Zhi's line of sight, Qin Lang suddenly discovered that at this time, there were only two people in the great hall, himself and Cao Zhi. Li Fei and Mo Gu Yun were standing outside the great hall, behind them was a dense crowd of heavenly soldiers, all staring at him and Cao Zhi.

  "Damn, when did you bring me in?" Qin Lang suddenly shouted. Nima was a small team leader of the Jun Tian Army himself, but at this moment he was actually brought into the palace by Cao Zhi. What's more, there were 100,000 national heavenly soldiers staring at him outside the palace.

  "My goodness, you're going to be the death of me!" Qin Guang hastily pushed Cao Zhi away, who was pulling on his arm, and mentally cursed as he headed towards the outside of the palace.

  "Lang, don't go! What will I do if you leave?" Cao Zhi cried until his heart was about to break, and he suddenly fell to the ground, grabbing onto Qin Lang's leg.

  "What the...! You're a prince, you're going to ascend to the throne and become the ruler of the country. Why are you pulling me along?" Qin Cang was also on the verge of tears, looking at his superiors standing outside the palace, then at Cao Zhi who was hugging his leg and almost crying, Qin Cang was stunned and didn't know what to do.

  "Qin Gongzi, you'd better go with the lord!" Li Fei shook his head, also helpless towards the weak and incompetent Cao Zhi, and could only say so to Qin Ceng.

  "Yes, Brother Lang, you can't leave me behind!" Cao Zhi immediately expressed his agreement with Li Fei's words, nodding his head wildly like a little chicken pecking at grain.

  Qin Lang cried and looked at Li Fei with a helpless face, then glanced at Mo Gu Yun whose face was subtly smiling, and Mo Gu Yun also gave Qin Lang an almost imperceptible nod. Qin Lang had no choice but to roll his eyes, took a deep breath, and reached out to lift Cao Zhi up.

  "Cao Zhi, I won't go, but can you give me some face?" Qin Liang said in a low voice to Cao Zhi.

  "Ah, I'll definitely make it up to you, everything will be as Lang brother says." Cao Zhi suddenly became cheerful, wiped away his tears and said with delight.

  "For crying out loud, I'm not your dad, can't you have some of your own ideas for once?" Qin Lang was fed up.

  "Lang, your opinion is my opinion. You say east and I will never go west!" Cao Zhi was like a newly joined gangster showing loyalty to his boss, almost as if he wanted to lift Qin Lang up to the sky.

  Two people stood inside the grand hall of the palace, lowering their heads and whispering to each other with their ears close together. Although their voices were extremely soft, every word was crystal clear to those masters outside the palace.

  Li Fei's eyes widened as he stared at Qin Lang, his mind reeling in shock. What kind of identity did this guy have that could make the Crown Prince obey him so thoroughly? And yet, judging from his appearance, he seemed extremely reluctant to do so.

  "Brother Gu Yun, I don't know what this Qin young master's identity is?" Li Fei couldn't think of an answer and could only turn his head to ask Mo Gu Yun. Judging from the previous conversation between Qin Lang and Mo Gu Yun, these two seemed to have known each other for a long time.

  "Haha, this Qin Lang!" Mo Gu Yun was also speechless for a moment, as he had not expected such a situation. However, when it came to Qin Lang, he was already used to seeing the unexpected happen around him. After all, anything could be understood when it happened to Qin Lang. But in response to Li Fei's inquiry, Mo Gu Yun couldn't just say that this guy was one of his own heavenly soldiers from the same county, could he? That kind of statement wouldn't work, not only would Li Fei not believe it, but it also wouldn't be good for Qin Lang. After all, in this rebellion, Qin Lang had established a certain reputation. So Mo Gu Yun smiled and said: "This Qin Lang's identity is mysterious, I don't understand him very well either. But judging from Your Highness's reaction to him, he probably isn't that simple."

  "Hmm, Brother Lonely Cloud is right." Li Fei didn't get the answer he wanted and could only give up. He looked at the two people inside the palace who were still whispering to each other, and furrowed his brow. Can't let himself lead such a big group of people here to watch you two haggle over prices, can he?

  "Your Highness, now that the rebellion has been put down, everything else will be as you instruct." Li Fei said loudly towards the palace.

  "Ah, good! From now on, everything will be fine." Cao Zhi straightened his back, faced the crowd and spoke loudly. This scene made Qin Guang nod in approval behind him, it seemed that his efforts had not been in vain, this Cao Zhi also had a bit of a prince's demeanor now.

  "Everything will be arranged by Brother Lang!" Cao Zhi suddenly took a big step back, and in an instant, he stood behind Qin Lang, putting Qin Lang in front of everyone. Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Lang at once.

  "Damn it!" Qin Lang cursed silently, but he could only grit his teeth and charge forward.

  "Hmm, what's next? Let me think!" Qin Lang scratched his head, stuttering, and inwardly cursing. If he were to deceive a child, it would be easy as pie, but arranging such a grand scene was beyond his capabilities.

  "What's next, the most important thing!" Qin Guangyue said with less and less energy, his eyes wandering around, but he saw the broken tiles and debris all around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

  "At present, the most important thing is to repair the royal city! Yes, that's it!" Qin Lang smiled and continued: "Li Fei, commander-in-chief, this matter of repairing the royal city will be handed over to you. What do you think?" This Li Fei has millions of heavenly soldiers under his command, so many free laborers, who else can repair the city if not him?

  "Everything will be done according to Qin Gongzi's instructions." Li Fei had no opinion and immediately expressed his stance. Not to mention that Cao Zhi had already handed over power to Qin Cang, just the Qinghai Order in Qin Cang's hands was enough to make Li Fei obey orders carefully.

  "Ah, other matters can be decided after the palace is restored. Qin Guang rubbed his temples and looked extremely exhausted, saying: "Today's events are internal affairs of the royal family, it's best not to spread them around to avoid ridicule. The prince was also frightened and needs a good rest. I'll leave everything here in Li Fei's hands. Ah, yes, please have Yun Cloud County Mistress and Mo Yan accompany me, as there are still some matters I need to discuss with you both."

  Qin Lang didn't know how to arrange things either, and could only take advantage of the situation to slip away. Other matters would be discussed later.
