Bang!
Seemingly feeling that it was not convincing, the internal force under his feet vibrated, and a giant snowball jumped out from the ground. Dozens of sword qi carved a dragon with charm before the snowball landed, but it turned into a pile of scattered snow again after it landed.

The old butler took a deep breath. He had always heard about how strong Xiao Jingbai, the top of the Lang Ya Board, was. Now that he saw it, he was really shocked.
" Alright, old butler, arrange for people to find some Ice Silkworms near Merlin to make sure the ice sculptures don't melt before you sell them. I'll go see these five little fellows."
In fact, Xiao Jingbai was only a few years older than these five children. He had experienced many things, and with his extraordinary strength, he had an immortal and mortal temperament.
There were four girls and one boy among the five children. Judging from their height, the boy should be the youngest.
" Your Highness White King."
The five children knelt down and Xiao Jingbai helped each of them up.
" In the future, there will be no kneeling ceremony in the White Prince Mansion. Do you understand?"
" Kneel before the heavens and the earth. Only elders are allowed to kneel. This is the first rule of the family."
The little girl who was obviously taller raised her trembling hand. Xiao Jingbai gestured for the other party to speak.
" Your Highness, did you gather the five of us together because you want us to sleep with you? Can you let us go?"
There was no expression on Xiao Jingbai's face. He just shook his head gently and said,
" I'm looking for you guys to practice swordsmanship. With your skills, you can help me in the future."
Your Highness, does Your Highness mean to take us in as disciples?"
Lang Ya Board's first, Sword God White King, one person with a single sword, invincible.
The five little fellows were no exception. Other than King Qi, Xiao Jingbai was their idol.
"Yes, sir! Teacher."
The five little ones ran back to their parents excitedly. They wanted to tell their parents the good news as soon as possible.
Jinling-
Xiao Jingyan and Ni Huang met outside Jinling City at the same time. Ni Huang and Xiao Jingyan looked at each other and led the team together.
" Other than King Qi's suicide and the destruction of the Red Flame Army, I don't know any other details. I don't know why, but I feel uneasy."
Just like that, they walked all the way to the entrance of the Imperial Palace. Under Meng Zhi's guidance, the two of them got off their warhorses.
" What a strong smell of blood. Why is there such a bloody smell in the Imperial City?"
Sigh! Meng Zhi shook his head repeatedly, his expression extremely dispirited.
"His Majesty has gone mad, His Majesty has gone mad! More than half of the officials were killed by His Majesty on the spot, especially the officials of the third rank. Almost all of them were killed."
"What did you say?" Meng Zhi, what did you say? Why would Imperial Father do such a thing?"
"These few days, all the officials in the court have submitted a petition to reopen the Red Flame Case. The Emperor was so angry that he ordered Xia Jiang to investigate a bunch of groundless crimes and pin them on these officials who submitted the petition. They were all killed."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyan and Ni Huang were stunned. More than half of the important officials in the court were killed on the spot in Jingyang Palace because of the Scarlet Flame Case.
Both of them understood that there was no point in returning to Jinling. The fact that Emperor Liang could do such a thing showed his attitude.
Even if he rushed to the royal study to ask, Emperor Liang would probably not give the two of them any explanation.
" Why did Liang become like this?"
Ni Huang turned around and left in a daze, while Xiao Jingyan knelt on the ground weakly. In fact, the two of them did not know that Emperor Liang was staring at them from somewhere.
"With Jing Yan and Ni Huang's expressions, I believe Meng Zhi has already told them about what happened today. I hope they won't bother Zhen anymore."
Emperor Liang retracted his gaze and sighed. He was indeed a little impulsive today.
At present, the hearts of the officials in the court were in disarray. This was an outcome that Emperor Liang did not expect.
Gao Zhan, take this one back and let Noble Consort Yue come over to serve you."
The Southern Territory.
The sun slowly rose from the east. At this time, the South Chu army had already gathered outside the Southern Border City.
Mu Shen led 100,000 cavalry out of the city gate slowly. If not for the fact that Daliang's national treasury was empty, he would not have wanted to engage in such a head-on confrontation.
The most helpless action on the battlefield was to face the enemy head-on. Regardless of the outcome, the casualties of both sides were equal, unless the strength difference was very large.
Charge!
The army in the south didn't want the Red Flame Army. There was no war in the south all year round, and all the generals who benefited were in the north and northwest.
There was no battle general in the army, so Mu Shen, as the commander, could only personally carry his spear and fight. If Ni Huang was here, he would not have to do this.
The army of the Southern Territory did not learn the Red Flame Army's Red Flame Battle Formation. In the situation where the two battle formations were equal, the ground was already covered with corpses in the first round of confrontation.
Commander Mu, I feel that something is wrong. Yue Xiuze didn't appear in the army. We just saw him."
The subordinate beside Mu Shen panted. Mu Shen did not speak but signaled for the army to carry out the second attack.
In the first round of attack, an invisible sword shadow pierced through his waist. The intense pain made Mu Shen frown, but in order not to affect the morale of the army, he endured the pain and launched a second attack.
Yue Xiuze did not disappear, but hid under the warhorse of one of the cavalrymen.
The sword wound on Mu Shen's body was caused by himself. He let down the other party's guard and gave the other party a fatal blow.
" The old thing is actually still able to hold back. I spent an entire year to execute this plan."
The second round of collisions was about to begin. Yue Xiuze hid under his warhorse and quietly approached Mu Shen, just as the distance between the two sides was less than one meter.
Mu Shen suddenly pulled out his spear and pierced a group of unmanned warhorses below their bellies. This horse was where Yue Xiuze was hiding. Yue Xiuze's right chest was pierced directly.
The flying sword wound was accompanied by a dense sword aura. It was extremely fast and Mu Shen could not dodge it at all. The sword pierced through his waist and into his heart. Mu Shen died instantly and fell to the ground.
With the two commanders on the ground, no one continued to fight. Instead, they brought the two of them back to the camp.
Ni Huang, who had received the news, was momentarily dazed. She then rushed to the palace overnight. At this moment, the Emperor's royal study was already packed with ministers, including Prince Yu and the others.
"How could this be! Wasn't Mu Shen the God of War who had never lost a hundred battles? Why did he die?”。
Emperor Liang flew into a rage in the royal study and overturned the memorials to the ground. Gao Zhan, who was at the side, hurriedly picked up the memorials and placed them back where they were.
"I, General Mu Nihuang, requests an audience with Your Majesty." The voice from outside the room made Emperor Liang stand up instantly and push Gao Zhan.
"Hurry up! Quickly bring Ni Huang in! Hurry up." Gao Zhan hurriedly walked to the outside of the royal study with small steps and quickly married Ni Huang, who was kneeling on the ground.
" Princess, His Majesty invites you. Please come in with me."
When the officials outside saw Gao Zhan come out, they were about to swarm forward to ask him when they were interrupted by Gao Zhan.
" Princes and lords, His Majesty is currently thinking of a countermeasure. Please return first…"
After saying that, he brought Ni Huang into the royal study. Ni Huang had finally met Emperor Liang after returning for a few days.
Ni Huang was very responsible at the moment. To be fair, she could not kill the emperor, but she had to be responsible for the people of Daliang.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Ni Huang, come over quickly."
Emperor Liang called out excitedly, his entire body almost lying on the table.
Ni Huang, I order you to return to the Southern Territory immediately to defend against the South Chu army. If you have any requests, feel free to tell me."
Ni asked,"Can I bring Mu Qing back to South Chu?"
No! Emperor Liang rejected it without hesitation. Mu Qing was the only bargaining chip that the imperial court could use to balance the Mu Residence. If Mu Qing returned, it would mean that the Mu Residence was completely independent.
Mu Qing is still young. If anything happens to him outside, how am I going to explain it to your father?" ni
Phoenix sighed. Other than taking Mu Qing away from Jinling and protecting her, she also wanted Mu Qing's strength.
Mu Qing, who had been by Lin Shu's side since he was young, had extremely strong strength at a young age.
Although he couldn't defeat the people on the Lang Ya Board, he was still a good general in the army.
" Your Majesty, there are no fierce generals in the Southern Territory. Your Majesty, you should know that the 100,000 cavalry of our Southern Territory army is a first-class ferocious beast in terms of military strength. There might not be a single reward for leading this group of ferocious beasts."
Emperor Liang's face darkened as he thought quickly. Mu Qing was gone, but Liang was still around.
If the Southern Territory was lost, it would be unknown whether Daliang was still around.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Emperor Liang sighed helplessly.
You can take Mu Qing with you, but after the war ends, you must make sure Mu Qing returns to Jinling."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'll go back and make some preparations. I'll rush back to the Southern Region overnight."
"Go ahead."
Ni Huang did not mention the matter of supplies to Emperor Liang. After two consecutive battles, the country's strength had been damaged. Even if she requested to bring supplies back to the Southern Region, she would not ask for much.
Furthermore, Emperor Liang would not allow Ni Huang to return to the Southern Territory empty-handed because this was a taboo in war.
Emperor Liang knew how much of an impact it would have on the morale of the army if a commander returned to the battlefield empty-handed.
As soon as Ni Huang stepped out of the palace gates, she was stopped by King Jing, Xiao Jingyan. Before he was conferred the title of Prince, Xiao Jingyan did not have the right to seek an audience at night.
Princess, are you rushing back to the Southern Territory?"
Ni replied,"Yes, my father died on the battlefield. Of course, the Mu family will have to shoulder this responsibility."
Xiao Jingyan nodded heavily and clapped his hands behind him. Dozens of horses from Liezhan Ying came up to them with a pile of provisions on their backs.
" Your Highness King Jing, this is…"
"Junzhu, I've used all the salary given by the court to buy rations. After two battles, I know that the country is empty."
King Jing turned around and patted the provisions on his horse as he spoke with a solemn expression.
" When you return to the Southern Territory, even if Father arranged for you to bring along some supplies, I reckon you'll have quite a lot. Although there isn't much grain here, it's better to have more."
Hearing this, Ni Huang respectfully saluted Xiao Jingyan. He was willing to spend all his wealth to help her in such a critical moment.
Only the innocent Xiao Jingyan could do that. Ni Huang did not refuse, but ordered the grain to be delivered to the Jinling City gate.
At this critical moment, Ni Huang could not let go of any help she could get. If the Southern Territory was broken, the countless people behind her would suffer.
Ni Huang rode her horse back home quickly. The Southern Territory was in an emergency, so she could not afford to be negligent.
"Your Highness King Jing, if you are able to come back in the future and you need any help, Ni Huang will definitely do her best."
Langya Pavilion-
The news of King Mu's death and Ni Huang's death reached the old pavilion master that night.
" Aiya, Daliang is truly in danger. Lin Shuai and Mu Shuai, the two pillars of support, have collapsed at the same time, but now, they have to be reduced to a woman leading the troops."
Pa!
The old pavilion master slapped the back of Lin Chen's head. The latter squatted on the ground and howled in pain.
" Go and arrange for someone to pass this news to His Highness White King. Brother Lin's injustice has yet to be redressed, and the Liang Country cannot be destroyed yet."
Lin Chen said as he rubbed the back of his head.
Father, are you using the fastest mechanical bird?"
Langya Pavilion was the most mysterious place in the world, but at the same time, it was also the most open place in the world.
So far, no one had been able to figure out what kind of organization it was and how it worked.
And the biggest secret of Langya Pavilion was the world-famous Lu Ban Quan Shu at the end of Qin Dynasty, which could also be called Missing One Sect.
The machine-operated bird was 30% of the reason why Langya Pavilion was able to transmit the news so quickly. There were also many Luban mechanisms that had not been displayed.
In the future, the secret passage designed by Lin Shu was also an extension of 'Missing a Sect'.
"Let's use the ultimate mechanical bird then. Mu Nihuang will only need a day and a half to reach the southern region."
Lin Chen nodded and pointed at a small grid on the wall before slowly descending from the roof.
A pure white machine-operated bird appeared in front of the two of them. After some adjustments, Lin Chen placed the clear number into the machine-operated bird's body.
This kind of machine-operated bird commanded to land in a fixed place. Only those who knew the mechanism could open it. Therefore, Langya Pavilion did not mind leaking the secret at all.
Father, how do you know that His Highness White King will definitely go to the Southern Territory? He abandoned his identity as a prince."
(I've thought about it for a long time. Finally, I can explain the ability of the Langya Pavilion to transmit information quickly in a logical way. "Missing One" really exists. Nowadays, many of us wood arts rely on the concept of missing one, or rather,"The Complete Book of Luban". It was just incomplete, and there was a missing item on the internet that was rumored to be an immortal item. It was actually a craft book. The background of the Lang Ya Board was after the Western Jin Dynasty, while the Lu Ban craftsmanship existed at the end of the Qin Dynasty. It was reasonable.
