The rain was heavy, and the thunder rumbled. Lightning flashed through the clouds like golden snakes, illuminating the vast Duolan City in a ghastly pale.
Almost everyone was standing in the rain. No one was holding an umbrella, and no one was wearing oily clothes. They just watched the Liao soldiers escort their city lord without moving. They were handcuffed and dragged forward step by step by horses.
Dolan City had been defeated! After more than a month of bitter fighting, Duo Lan City was finally defeated by the Eastern Emperor Yelu Long Hao. Moreover, it was a tragic defeat. Not only were there casualties everywhere, but the city lord Duanmu Jing was also captured and was now being escorted to the capital. And the person who escorted him was Yelu Long Hao himself.
On the horse, Yelu Long Hao was wearing silver armor and a sword at his waist. His face was like jade, his eyes were like cold stars, and his slender hands gently held the reins as he slowly rode forward. He looked like a god who had descended from the heavens. His appearance was imposing and valiant, making people not dare to look at him.
Yelu Long Hao's face was solemn when he saw the reaction of the people of Duolan City. He watched quietly, watching the commoners burn incense and kowtow to Duanmu Jing in the pouring rain. He then looked at the faces that were filled with despair and fear. Suddenly, a cold expression appeared on his handsome and thin face.
He waved his hand coldly, and his personal guard immediately came forward." Your Majesty, what are your orders?”
"Tell them to retreat, or else…kill them without mercy!”
The three words "Kill without mercy" were like a thunderclap that struck the sky, landing heavily on the hearts of every citizen in Dolan City.
Indeed, it happened. Legend had it that the Eastern Emperor Yelu Long Hao was bloodthirsty and ruthless. Every time he took down a city, he would wash the city in blood to establish his military prestige. Now, it was finally Duolan City's turn!
Panic appeared on everyone's faces. Some people stood up in fear and quickly left. Some people couldn't swallow the resentment in their chests and cursed. Some people couldn't help but cry out loud. For a moment, some ran and some hid. The scene instantly became chaotic.
Yelu Long Hao's handsome face sank and was about to speak.
A pleasant, gentle yet firm female voice suddenly sounded," Stop!”
Following that, a beautiful and graceful figure blocked in front of Yelu Long Hao's horse.
"How dare you!" When the accompanying guard saw that someone was blocking the carriage, he hurriedly shouted in a low voice and pointed his sword, halberd, saber, and spear at the woman at the same time.
The woman wasn't afraid at all. She allowed the knife and spear to be placed on her neck, but her gaze was fixed on Yelu Long Hao who was sitting high on the horse's back.
"People call the Eastern Emperor Yelu Longhao resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He has the courage to be invincible and can take the enemy's head in a chaotic army without changing his expression. Now it seems that he is just like Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, brave but not resourceful.”The woman's voice was crisp and soft, like a oriole leaving the valley. There was a charm that was difficult to ignore in her gentle voice.
Yelu Long Hao's brows furrowed, his cold eyes glancing at the woman," What do you mean?”
The woman raised her head and looked straight at him without fear." When Liu Bang attacked Xianyang City, he made three rules with the elders of Xianyang City. Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang City, but he started a massacre and burned Epang Palace. The people were displaced and the hearts of the people scattered. Today, you want to kill City Lord Duanmu to establish your military prestige. However, if you want to harm the people of Dolan City, you will end up like Xiang Yu. You will be despised by the people in the future!”
When he said this, everyone was scared silly! Did she want to die? How dare he say such words to Yelu Long Hao? Did she not know that angering Yelu Longhao would result in a disaster?
However, unexpectedly, Yelu Long Hao was not angry. His handsome face was expressionless, and his voice was calm and steady." Are you cursing me?"”
"I don't dare. I'm just telling the truth!”
Yelu Long Hao snorted coldly," The truth? It is also a fact that you have intercepted and killed the envoys of the Liao Dynasty and sent troops to harass the border. Why don't you say it?”
"He killed the messenger because he molested women in broad daylight and bullied good people. Sending troops to the border was to seek a way out for the people of Dolan City. These were all legitimate and reasonable actions.”
"Oh? Then why did you attack my caravan? Could it be that these wealthy businessmen had also committed an unforgivable death penalty?”
" That's because…" The woman was about to continue.
At this moment, an old voice sounded from afar,""Xi Ji, don't say anymore!"
The woman turned her head and saw Duanmu Jing dragging his hands and legs in shackles, staggering towards Yelu Long Hao and kneeling down.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. All the fault lies with me. I shouldn't have offended the heavens just because I wanted to obtain the Jade Kylin. Xi Ji doesn't know anything. Your Majesty, please spare her!”
The woman ran towards Duanmu Jing in a panic.”
Yelu Long Hao's eyes flashed," You are Duanmu Xiji?”
The woman didn't answer, but the anger and pain in her eyes proved that his guess was right. She was Duolan's most beautiful woman, Duanmu Jing's most beloved daughter! Duanmu Xiji.
It was said that Duanmu Xiji had inherited the peerless beauty of the Luo River Goddess and the literary talent of Ban Jieyu. Not only was she proficient in the zither, chess, poetry, and painting, but she was also the number one female scholar in Duolan.
Ye Lui Long Hao's star-like black eyes stared at her. From her beautiful face, her stubborn and angry expression, to her exquisite curves that were trembling because of the cold.
She was very beautiful. Although she was not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, she had a gentle temperament that was mixed with determination and strength, making her more beautiful than other women.
Her eyebrows were like the distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn eyes, deep and lively, revealing a sense of intelligence. Her nose was very straight, and her small mouth looked soft and beautiful, making people want to taste it.
However, what attracted Yelu Long Hao's gaze the most was her fair and flawless skin. Even in the cold wind and heavy rain, she still had an indescribable charm. He had always liked fair-skinned women, because fair-skinned women could always arouse his most primitive and wild desire to conquer. The woman in front of him was extremely beautiful. Her fair skin was set off by her black hair, making her skin look even more creamy and her eyebrows look like a painting. He couldn't help but feel tempted.
Duanmu Jing noticed the unusual look in Yelu Long Hao's eyes and quickly stepped forward to shield his daughter." Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Please spare Xi Ji and the other citizens of Duolan City!"”
Yelu Long Hao didn't answer. He didn't move and stared at Duanmu Xiji. He pointed at Duanmu Jing and the other citizens of Duolan City and said,""You want to save his life?"
Duanmu Xiji looked back at him proudly." I won't save him. I'll save everyone in Dolan City.”
Ye Lui Long Hao laughed wildly," Duanmu Xiji, don't forget that Duolan City is a defeated country. You have no right to negotiate with me.”
"I know that Dolan City has been defeated, and I know that I am not qualified to talk about conditions. But don't forget that even if you want to conquer the world, you might not be able to rule the world immediately. Victory on the battlefield is not a true victory.”
When Yelu Long Hao heard this, a cold light shot out from his eyes," What are you trying to say?”
Duanmu Xiji bit her lip, her beautiful eyes filled with hesitation, but after thinking for a while, she still said,""As long as…as long as you promise not to kill the people of Duolan City, I guarantee that Duolan City will forever surrender to the Liao Dynasty and will never have second thoughts.”
Yelu Long Hao narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time without saying anything.
Duanmu Jing was shocked." Xi Ji, do you know what you're saying? How could you…"
Duanmu Xiji turned her head and looked at her father sadly." Father, of course I know what I'm talking about, but in order to make up for my father's mistakes and save the lives of millions of people in Dolan City, I'm willing to make any sacrifice.”
"No, I can't! No, he absolutely could not do this!”Duanmu Jing crawled to Ye Lui Long's horse and begged,""Emperor, please kill me and let Xi Ji go! All the mistakes were caused by me. Xi Ji doesn't know anything, please don't listen to her nonsense!”
"No, Your Majesty, as long as you promise not to kill the people of Dolan City, I'm willing to agree to any conditions.”
"No, Your Majesty, it's my fault, I shouldn't have…"
Yelu Long Hao raised his hand coldly and interrupted the argument between father and daughter," Shut up! Neither of you are qualified to negotiate with me.”
Duanmu Xiji suddenly shut her mouth and glared at him. Her eyes seemed to want to kill someone." You…"
However, Yelu Long Hao didn't care about her at all. He just looked at everyone expressionlessly, then suddenly reached out and pulled Duanmu Xiji onto the horse's back.
Duanmu Xiji didn't expect him to do this and was caught off guard. She leaned against Yelu Longhao and her face turned pale," You…What do you want to do? Let me down, let me down!"
He held her slender waist tightly and held her face in front of all the people of Dolan City, making it impossible for her to escape and hide.
"What are you doing? The people of the land are the subjects of the king. You are a female scholar who has read a lot of books. You should know what this sentence means, right?”
"You…"
He pursed his lips slightly and continued,"Duolan City has already been defeated and submitted to the Liao Dynasty. Since it is a territory of the Great Liao, then you, your father, and all the people of Duolan City are my subjects. Therefore, no matter what I want to do, you have no right to ask or question me.”
Then, he coldly gave a series of orders."Men! Send Duanmu Jing back to the capital and send someone to guard Duolan City. If anyone dares to rebel, harass the border, or even think of saving Duanmu Jing and his daughter, kill them without mercy!”
"Get in!"
After pushing Duanmu Xiji forward, the guard closed the door expressionlessly. With a click, Duanmu Xiji knew that she was under house arrest by Yelu Long Hao.
Duanmu Xiji sat weakly on the ground, trembling from head to toe. Even her teeth couldn't help but chatter. She could only open her mouth and bite the back of her hand to prevent herself from collapsing from excessive nervousness and panic.
Did she do it? Did she really stop Yelu Longhao's cruel massacre?
Recalling the scene of the dispute in front of the horse, Duanmu Xiji still couldn't believe that she had really saved the people of Duolan City, because the legendary Yelu Long Hao was so cruel, bloodthirsty, and heartless.
She had heard too many stories about how Yelu Longhao fought on the battlefield, how he killed 400,000 enemy soldiers in a day, and how he massacred the enemy's cities. He also knew that wherever Yelu Longhao's army passed by, there would be no survivors and people would be killed. And he had saved the lives of the people of Dolan City from him. Was this true? Did he really let Dolan City go and not pursue the matter?
Duanmu Xiji had never approved of her father's actions. She hated her father's unscrupulous methods to obtain the Jade Kylin. He had sent troops to harass the Liao Kingdom's border several times, which eventually brought disaster to herself and the people of Duolan City.
Duanmu Xiji couldn't help but think of the legendary Jade Kylin that could control the world and almost turn Dolan City into ruins.
It was said that the Jade Kylin was passed down by the Yellow Emperor. There were four of them, namely the Red Jade Kylin, the White Jade Kylin, the Purple Jade Kylin, and the Yellow Jade Kylin.
These four Jade Qilins were originally in the hands of East Emperor Yelu Longhao, South Tyrant Du Shouyu, West Sage Ouyang Che, and North Deity Shen Chong. This also meant that they controlled four powers that divided the world equally. However, for some reason, news of the Jade Qilins disappearing at the same time had spread recently.
However, what was even stranger was that not long after the Jade Kylin disappeared, Jade Kylin had appeared in some places. This caused the world to boil with excitement. Almost everyone wanted to get the Jade Kylin, and even her father was no exception. He dreamed of getting the Jade Kylin so that he could unify the world.
Now, the city was destroyed and his family was destroyed. Even his life and death were in the hands of Yelu Long Hao. How…how would he deal with him?
Thinking of Yelu Long Hao and his army, Duanmu Xiji couldn't help but tremble. She bit her hand hard, trying to calm herself down.
At this moment, a voice as cold as ice suddenly sounded above Duanmu Xiji's head,""What are you doing? If he wanted to commit suicide, biting the back of his hand would not succeed.”
Duanmu Xiji was shocked. She raised her head and met with Yelu Long Hao's eyes," You…When did you…"
"When did I come in?”Yelu Long Hao walked around her and walked into the room to sit on a chair." I came in long enough to see you clearly."”
Duanmu Xiji stood up and looked at him from afar. She looked at this handsome, stalwart but cruel, cold-blooded man. Yes, handsome. He was indeed a handsome and good-looking man. The word handsome was not even enough to describe him.
His face was like a crown of jade, and his two sword-like eyebrows were sharp and imposing. His eyes were very black, like a lake. There was a complicated mix of joy, anger, and emotions in his eyes, but it was also confusing.
His chin was square and his forehead was wide. Under his straight nose were sexy and full lips. However, his lips were tightly pursed and there was no smile at all.
"Come here." He spoke indifferently. His voice was as cold as usual, without a trace of emotion.
Duanmu Xiji leaned against the door nervously and looked at him without moving." What do you want to do?”
Yelu Long Hao lightly opened his mouth and spat out two words,""Change."
Duanmu Xiji was stunned." Wh…what?”
"Didn't you hear me when I said I wanted to change? Come here!" He shouted in a low voice, his handsome face filled with unquestionable authority.
However, Duanmu Xiji shook her head." No, I don't want to. I'm not your maid. I have no reason to change your clothes.”
He raised his eyebrows." No? You promised me in front of the citizens of Dolan City, and now you dare to say no?”
Duanmu Xiji's face turned pale." You…What did you say? When did I promise you?"
He smiled coldly and slowly stood up to approach her." When did you agree? Do I need to remind you? Or do you want me to give the order to return to Dolan City?”
Duanmu Xiji's face turned even paler, and her entire body trembled non-stop.
She remembered that she had promised to let him do whatever he wanted to her, but she didn't expect him to…he would actually do this to her. She thought he would…Forget it, no matter what punishment or torture, she had promised it herself. She couldn't blame anyone!
Biting her lip, she moved towards Yelu Long Hao and took off his armor and clothes with trembling hands.
Yelu Long Hao had a slender and muscular body. He was like this when he was wearing armor, and even more so when he took off his clothes. Although he was only wearing an inner shirt, his entire body emitted a masculine aura that could not be ignored.
This aura made Duanmu Xiji almost breathless. She hurriedly picked up the clothes at the side and wanted to help him change.
Yelu Long Hao didn't say a word, he just stood there quietly and let her put on his clothes and belt in a flurry. He quietly sniffed the fragrance coming from her body and looked at her fair and flawless skin.
"Alright." She took a step back and tried to avoid him, but he grabbed her.
"Take off your clothes."
Duanmu Xiji stared at him in disbelief, her chest aching." What did you say?”
"Take off your clothes." He repeated, his face still stern.
Subconsciously grabbing her clothes, Duanmu Xiji wanted to scream and run out of the door. If she could, she wanted to kill herself so that she wouldn't have to accept his humiliation and ravaging! But no, she had promised. As long as he spared the people of Dolan City, she was willing to agree to any of his conditions and was willing to be punished by him.
So she closed her eyes and took off her clothes inch by inch. First, it was the vest, then the top, then the dress, and finally, only the undergarment and the lower garment.
Yelu Long Hao stared at her without blinking, from her exposed round shoulders to her faintly discernible beautiful body. "Take off the last two clothes too!" he said hoarsely.”
Duanmu Xiji gritted her teeth, untied the belt of her dudou, and took off her lower garment.
Yelu Long Hao looked on, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his breathing became heavy," Go lie on the bed."”
She opened her eyes, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face. However, she eventually resigned herself to her fate and walked to the bed to lie down.
He came to the bedside and stared at it inch by inch. Then, he sat down and carefully examined her almost perfect and delicate skin.
She was so beautiful, more beautiful and alluring than he had imagined. Moreover, her limbs were slender and well-proportioned. There was not a single flaw on her body, not even a birthmark or scar.
He couldn't help but reach out to examine it, sliding it down from his shoulders to his chest. Then, his large hand suddenly grabbed a warm breast and rubbed it rudely.
Duanmu Xiji's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at the beautiful and exquisite bed curtains. She bit her lips tightly and her body involuntarily arched upwards, as if she wanted to escape from Ye Lui Long Hao's control, but she didn't expect to fall into his control even more.
This caused Yelu Long Hao to lower his head, his teeth seemingly intentionally and unintentionally grinding.
Duanmu Xiji exclaimed,""It hurts!"
Yelu Long Hao was extremely satisfied with her reaction. A shocking desire instantly ignited in his eyes.
"Turn over, I want to see your back.”
Duanmu Xiji was so ashamed that tears were about to fall, but she still obediently turned over and hugged the pillow tightly with both hands as if doing so could protect herself.
Duanmu Xiji heard this and a crystal tear rolled down her pillow. She knew that she couldn't escape what was coming, so she obediently prepared to endure the humiliation and possession she had expected.
Duanmu Xiji couldn't even breathe! The pain in her body, the humiliation in her heart, and the trampling of her self-esteem made her feel ashamed, ashamed, angry, and angry. She immediately reached out and pulled out the hairpin from her head, stabbing it into her neck!
"What are you doing?" Ye Lui Long Hao quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the bed. "Do you want to commit suicide?"
Duanmu Xiji glared at him with hatred and tears. She gritted her teeth and said,""Rather than letting you humiliate me like this, I might as well die.”
Yelu Long Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and an evil smile appeared on his face," Is that so? Do you think this is an insult? To you, my presence is an insult?”
"Isn't it? Are women not human? Do women have to endure your bullying and humiliation? If I knew you were such a person, I would rather die than agree to your conditions!”
He laughed." Conditions? Duanmu Xiji, you must have forgotten that I didn't raise any conditions or agree to any of your conditions. Did you say all of this? Did you willingly let me do whatever I want to you? Or…have you already gone back on your word and no longer want to care about the lives of the others in Dolan City?”
Duanmu Xiji's face turned pale." You…"
"I've checked. You're still a virgin. But even so, you can't be so innocent that you don't even know how a man loves a woman, right?”
He grabbed her long hair and pulled it back, his malicious breath blowing on her.
"You are very beautiful. It has been a long time since I met a woman as beautiful, so seductive, and so strong as you. So, whether you are willing or not, you are destined to be my woman in this life. Unless I don't want you, you will never leave, not even in death!”
He suddenly let go of Duanmu Xiji and stood up. He clapped his hands and a eunuch came in with an iron chain.
"Cuff her hands and feet with iron chains and let her follow the march. Without my permission, no one is allowed to let go of her, no one is allowed to help her, no one is allowed to give her water to drink or food to eat, understand?”
Duanmu Xiji's face instantly turned pale." No, you can't do that…"
"Can't? Why not? Moreover, this is the punishment you deserve. The punishment is that you don't keep your word and don't know what's good for you!”He pointed at the hairpin that had fallen on the bed and said sternly and mercilessly,"You shouldn't have thought of committing suicide. As long as I like a woman, I won't let her die no matter what. Since you want to commit suicide, I'll help you find a good way so that you can experience what it means to be unable to live or die.”
"You didn't keep your promise? When did I break my promise?"
Ye Lui Long Hao bent down and held her face to face him," You personally promised to let me deal with you however I want, but you actually want to die. Isn't this not breaking your promise? Don't forget that the people of Dolan City and Duanmu Jing's heads are all in your hands. If you die so easily, they won't be able to live either.”
Duanmu Xiji was stunned on the spot and couldn't say a word. She didn't move and let the eunuch handcuff her hands and feet.#
