Xiao Jingbai didn't answer Ni Huang and only shook his head gently. However, this made Ni Huang think that Chi Yan was already dead.
Ni Huang looked towards the northwest in disappointment. Her last bit of hope was shattered.
"I'll bring Mu Qing to Merlin. Emperor Liang will smell it and say that I took her away. He won't dare to do anything."
Xiao Jingbai also knew that Mu Qing was a shackle used by Emperor Liang to restrain Ni Huang. Her life would be in danger at any time in Jinling. It was not worth it.
" That's good too. Let Mu Qing learn more from you. In the future, he'll inherit father's position."
Mu Qing said," Alright, alright. I've long since stopped wanting to stay in Jinling. If it wasn't for His Majesty insisting that I stay there, I would have left long ago."
Langya Mountain-
Langya Pavilion-
A machine-operated bird flew into the old pavilion master's hand. On it was written 'White King Ping Nan Chu'.
" Aiya, this White King of ours is really invincible. He can win wherever he goes. In the future, he can just go out and fight alone. He'll just have to die unnecessarily."
The old pavilion master slapped the back of Lin Chen's head, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the back of his head.
You're so rude. Call me father."
Lin Chen pressed the back of his head as he squatted on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes. The old pavilion master looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and said,"
" King White's realm is even higher than mine. I might not be able to last more than ten moves against him. If we're talking about life and death, I might die instantly."
Lin Chen looked at his father in surprise. After the old pavilion master broke through, the two of them had a battle.
The pressure he felt from the other party was similar to that of Xiao Jingbai, but he did not expect the old Pavilion Master to give the other party such a high evaluation.
Old man, dad, there's something I don't understand. Back then, you fought against Lin Shuai of the Red Flame Army for three days and three nights. Why?"
"Why is Brother Lin's strength lower than Lin Shu? Is that what you want to ask?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly. The fact that he could fight the old pavilion master for three days and three nights over thirty years ago showed Lin Xie's strength.
The old pavilion master looked at the sea of clouds and thought back to 37 years ago, when he first met Lin Xie.
At that time, Lin Xie, Xiao Chuan (Emperor Liang), and Yan Que traveled the world. Lin Xie used the alias Mei Shinan to personally visit Langya Pavilion.
Coincidentally, he was angry with the old Pavilion Master, who was in his prime. The two of them fought for three days and three nights, half true and half false. It was undeniable that Lin Xie's martial arts at that time could be said to be unparalleled.
However, what happened after that caused Lin Xie to lose all his martial arts and had to start from scratch. That was why there was such a big gap between his strength and the old Pavilion Master's.
Lin Chen continued to ask with interest,"
" What could have caused such a peerless expert to lose his martial arts?
Lin Chen shook his head. He had investigated this matter before, but he had no clue.
" Xiao Chuan's throne was obtained by forcing the abdication, and Yan Que and Lin Xie supported him."
" In that battle, blood stained the entire Imperial City. Lin Xie also suffered indelible injuries in that battle."
Since ancient times, forcing the abdication of the throne had been a treasonous act. In the hearts of the commoners, this was like going against the heavens.
" No wonder he couldn't even find out my identity as the young pavilion master."
"Sigh! The less I know, the more comfortable it is. I'll go and see how Lin Shu is."
Walking into the Medical Pavilion, Lin Shu was currently reading the works of 'Great Scholar' Li Chong.
After learning that her skin had to grow out in a year, Lin Shu's mood became calm.
You've been reading since you woke up. Why don't I brush my tongue?"
" How do you think I can talk to you like this? I just woke up and have a lot of things to digest."
Lin Chen was quite interested in Lin Shu. Ever since he was young, no one had been able to escape from his mouth.
" Are you blaming the White Prince for helping you choose this treatment method? You've lost many years of your life now."
Xiao Bai was one of the people who understood me the most. He was both my good brother and my good teacher.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something when he saw Lin Shu ignoring him.
" Hehe, South Chu invaded the southern territory. Don't you want to hear about Mu Shen's death?"
Hearing this, Lin Shu's hand trembled and hit her own foot. Immediately, pain spread throughout her body.
"How is Commander Mu after he died in Ni Huang?"
" Sigh…That's right. That's the expression and you're still pretending to be deep. Your little lover is more important."
If not for his current state, Lin Shu would have used all the moves of the Lone Nine Swords on the other party.
Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. Your little lover and your future brother-in-law were supposed to die on the battlefield."
Although Lin Shu's expression could not be seen from her human skin, one could see the other party's psychological fluctuations from her trembling muscles.
Don't worry, your little lover is fine. It's all thanks to my father who informed the White Prince in advance and saved the siblings at the critical moment."
Lin Shu's muscles trembled visibly more gently. Lin Chen could not help but laugh when he saw that his goal had been achieved.
" You're worried, aren't you? Hehe, you're still pretending? Alright, stop reading. No matter how much you read these books, they can't beat the hearts of people."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes.
" Big brother, this is the Langya Pavilion. All information needs to be paid back with money. What do you have now?"
" Give it to me first. I'll pay you back slowly in the future. Don't you still have 12 years? Hurry up."
Lin Chen looked at Lin Shu helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about this young man.
I told you, you have to pay me back. When you get better, you have to bring me along when you go out to play."
Jinling City-
The news of the great victory in the Southern Territory reached Scenic Yang Palace at the start of the morning court session the next day.
" Your Majesty, there's a battle report from the Southern Territory outside the palace."
"Xuan! Quickly announce it."
The Middle Minister took the battle report from the messenger outside the room and walked into the Scenic Yang Hall to read it aloud.
" God bless the Southern Territory. The 100,000 South Chu troops were completely defeated by the 100,000 Southern Territory cavalry led by the princess."
The officials who heard this news all revealed happy expressions. Emperor Liang even sat up from his dragon throne.
"Good! Ni Huang's battle was too beautiful, how are the casualties?"
The Assistant Minister continued to look down. The shocking numbers made him hesitate slightly.
"What?" Hurry up and say it. What are you waiting for?"
"Out of the 100,000 cavalry of the Southern Territory, 86,000 officially joined the battle, and 46,000 died in battle. Of the 100,000 soldiers of South Chu, 93,000 actually participated in the battle, and 91,000 died in battle.
Thirteen of them had died in the battle. This series of numbers made the officials suck in a breath of cold air.
Emperor Liang's face darkened. The number of casualties was beyond imagination, including the destroyed Red Flame Army and the Northern Territory Army.
In just a few months, Daliang had lost nearly 200,000 soldiers. Even if they had a large family, they could not afford such losses.
There's more below Your Majesty."
Liang,"If there's more, then continue reading. Why are you stammering?"
The Assistant Minister's tone was obviously not as bold as before and became a little hesitant.
After reading it, the constant attendant closed the entire battle report and lowered his head, not daring to look at Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang, who seemed to have no change on the surface, had a thousand waves in his heart. He had left thirty thousand elite soldiers of South Chu behind by himself.
" In the end, I underestimated Jing Bai's ability. If he could play with the army and take the enemy's head, would he be able to take my head in the future?"
The officials looked at each other and no one dared to speak. They were all waiting for Emperor Liang to speak. If Emperor Liang continued to choose to avoid this matter, the officials would also keep their mouths shut.
After giving Ni Huang his reward, Emperor Liang stood up and left the Scenic Yang Hall. The officials only heaved a sigh of relief after Emperor Liang left.
Before Emperor Liang could take two steps, a personal guard asked to see him.
If you have something to say, say it quickly. Zhen is troubled."
The bodyguard took out a letter from his pocket and held it above his head. Emperor Liang read the contents of the letter with a gloomy expression.
" Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Please don't be angry."
Gao Zhan patted Emperor Liang's back, and Emperor Liang pushed Gao Zhan's hand away, threw the letter into the river, and walked towards the royal study angrily.
Along the way, they kept cursing and swearing. None of the palace maids and eunuchs dared to make a sound.
Your Majesty, it might not be a bad thing for His Highness White King to take the young prince away."
Gao Zhan suddenly said to Emperor Liang when he walked into the royal study.
"Oh? Tell me, how is it not a bad thing?"
Gao Zhan was the person who understood Emperor Liang the most, and Emperor Liang was also the person who understood Gao Zhan the most.
The other party had always thought carefully before speaking. Without a certain degree of confidence, he would never dare to speak arrogantly.
Think about it, Your Majesty, His Highness King Bai is a martial artist who is known as the Sword God by the Langya Board. Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have been crowned with the name of God."
" With the friendship between Prince Bai and the princess, even if the young prince can't get Prince Bai's true teachings, he can still learn a few moves. By then, the Southern Territory will be safe for at least ten years."
Liang: "You mean Xiao Jingbai is helping the court train the future marshal?"
After being mentioned by Gao Zhan, Emperor Liang's heart eased a lot. There was no need to say how strong Xiao Jingbai was.
Ten thousand soldiers took the heads of the enemy generals and killed thirty thousand of them. It could be said that Xiao Jingbai alone was equivalent to an army.
"Humph! Nonsense, now that Jing Bai has kidnapped the young prince of the Mu Estate, we should consider this matter carefully."
At the same time, he also heard about his brother's deeds on the battlefield.
Your Highness, what kind of person is this White Prince?"
Ever since the battle of the Northern Territory, Lie Zhanying had always been very curious about Xiao Jingbai. He had achieved so much in martial arts before he was even twenty years old.
Not to mention Lie Zhanying, even Xiao Jingyan couldn't understand his half-brother.
Jing Bai is a very strange person."
Xiao Jingyan said hesitantly, flicking away the scar on his palm.
" Jing Bai has been unwilling to go out and interact with others since he was young. Before I met him, I always thought that Jing Bai was a little reserved because he didn't have a mother since he was young."
The two of them found a rain court and sat down. Lie Zhanying placed two cups of tea on the table. He continued to wait for Xiao Jingyan to continue.
Lin Shu was also a person who was extremely obsessed with martial arts. When she heard the sound of practicing swordsmanship coming from the silent White King Mansion, she was shocked.
At that time, Xiao Jingbai had already practiced the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords to the last moment. The sword shadows that filled the sky immediately scared Lin Shu.
In Lin Shu's knowledge, there had never been a person who could use the sword to such perfection.
Lin Shu, who was about to leave, was stopped by Xiao Jingbai who suddenly appeared. Lin Shu, who knew that she was in the wrong, did not speak.
Xiao Jingbai's sword was already in front of her. Lin Shu didn't even have the chance to dodge before she was stabbed in the forehead.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingbai was holding a wooden sword in his hand and did not cause any harm to Lin Shu.
" In the future, those who enter through the front door and climb over the wall are thieves."
Then Xiao Jingbai put away the wooden sword and turned to leave.
"Sigh! I'm sorry, my name is Lin Shu. Are you the White Prince?"
"Yes."
When Lin Shu heard Xiao Jingbai's reply, the other party had already walked back into the house.
Lin Shu, who was greatly interested in Xiao Jingbai, dragged Xiao Jingyan and Ni Huang to visit the White King Mansion the next day.
In the beginning, Xiao Jingbai was a little resistant, but he couldn't resist Lin Shu's friendly personality. After a while, the four of them became good friends.
