"This is the 'Jade Wave' that the emperor specially prepared for the general. The emperor said that the Jade Wave is a high-grade grape wine. The grape wine must be placed in the luminous cup to taste it. General Chu, why don't you give it a try?”

Meng Fei sat on Chu Xiayi's lap, one hand wrapped around her neck, the other hand holding a luminous cup, and approached Chu Xiayi. She pouted and acted coquettishly.

Chu Xia Yi didn't know whether to nod or shake her head. She could only open her eyes wide and blush," I, I, I don't know how to drink. It's better for you to drink."”

Concubine Meng burst into laughter. My good general, why are you being so polite to me? ChenQie is already the general's woman, why should there be any division between you and me? Why don't I feed it to the general?”

When she heard this vixen say that she wanted to feed her, Chu Xiayi wanted to refuse, but how could she have the time? Meng Fei had already taken a sip of wine in her mouth. She pouted and moved closer to Chu Xiayi's lips, looking at her bloody mouth that was covered in rouge!! No, just as the cherry lips were about to touch her, Chu Xiayi quickly reached out and pushed Meng Fei's chest away." Don't, don't be like this, someone is coming…"

Meng Fei giggled." No one will come, unless it's the emperor." However, the Emperor had brought people into Western Liang City tonight. He would not be here.”

When Chu Xia Yi heard this, her eyes widened," He entered the city? What is he doing in the city?"

"Is there a need to ask? Of course, it was to publicize the military might and inspect the spoils of war! General Chu, you shouldn't be so foolish as to think that the Emperor will do nothing just because he says he won't massacre the city, right? If the Emperor really did not do anything and did not give anything, how was he going to lead these tens of thousands of soldiers and make them work for him? This is a war, and we can lose our lives at any time. The emperor naturally has to reward everyone!”

Chu Xia Yi's face turned pale and her body trembled.

That damned Dugu Han, that damned Emperor Yu! He had promised not to massacre the city, but he had first used flowery words to deceive her and then sent a vixen to hinder her. Then, he led the army into Western Liang City to show off and let his soldiers plunder. What was the difference between this and massacring the city?

Damn Dugu Han, damn him! She would never let him off! She would never let him off!

Chu Xiayi jumped up and forcefully pulled the iron chain on her body, intending to settle the score with Dugu Han.

Concubine Meng was puzzled." General Chu, what are you doing?"”

Chu Xiayi glared fiercely at Meng Fei." I want to find Dugu Han. I want to ask him why he didn't keep his promise and why he lied to me!”

Meng Fei giggled and reached out to hold Chu Xiayi. She lovingly rested her head on her shoulder." The Emperor is already very kind to spare you, General. If it was in the past, the city guard general would have been dismembered and publicly displayed for three days." But the emperor said that he likes you very much, so he can't bear to kill you. He even wants me to accompany you, afraid that you'll be lonely…"

Chu Xiayi pushed Meng Fei away and said coldly,"Are you afraid that I'll ruin his plans? I don't know why Dugu Han sent you here, but I know that anyone related to Dugu Han is definitely not a good person, especially a shameless vixen like you!”

After saying that, Chu Xiayi ignored Meng Fei and pulled off the iron chain and ran out.

Concubine Meng was shocked and hurriedly shouted,""Quickly stop him, don't let him escape!”

But how could these people stop Chu Xia Yi? She moved like the wind and attacked like lightning. In a few moves, she finished off all the soldiers who blocked her way and headed straight for Western Liang City.

Before she even entered Western Liang City, Chu Xia Yi could hear the cries of the people in the city. There were shouts, reprimands, curses, taunts, and laughter. When the commoners saw her arrival, some of them quickly complained to her that the soldiers of Xia country had stolen their life savings and even set fire to their houses. Some of them were crying about how their daughters and daughters-in-law had been kidnapped into the military camp and their lives were uncertain. Some of them were holding onto the cold corpses of their loved ones and crying loudly. Chu Xia Yi was so angry that she almost bit her teeth.

"Do you know where Dugu Han is?”

"I know. It's in General's Water Seeking Pavilion.”An old man answered.

Chu Xia Yi nodded and instructed them to find a safe and secluded place to hide from the Xia Country's army. Then, she went to the Water Seeking Pavilion alone.

Needless to say, because of Dugu Han, the Water-Seeking Pavilion was naturally heavily guarded. There were guards standing guard inside and outside. However, Chu Xiayi didn't care at all. Not only was the Vermillion Bird Maiden the one who dug the secret passage in Western Liang City, but the Vermillion Bird Maiden had also built the Water-Seeking Pavilion. In addition, she had lived here for more than a year. How could she not know where the Water-Seeking Pavilion had windows, doors, tunnels, and secret chambers?

Thus, she avoided the patrolling soldiers and entered through a bush in the back garden. It didn't take long before she successfully entered the Water-Seeking Pavilion and found Dugu Han.

Chu Xiayi stood by the window and looked through the crack. She saw Dugu Han lying on the bed with his clothes unbuttoned, allowing a half-naked woman to rub against him.

"Emperor, it's rare for you to come to ChenQie's place. Tonight, stay here and let ChenQie serve you, alright?”

Dugu Han gave a noncommittal "hmm" and lazily said,""Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"When that old fart Yang Qian was still alive, ChenQie wasn't even afraid, let alone now that he's dead and Western Liang City belongs to the Emperor?”

Dugu Han's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were tightly shut." Then…what about Chuyi? Aren't you afraid that Chuyi will find out?"

"Chuyi?" The woman raised her head and looked at Dugu Han.

Chu Xiayi sneered. It really was her! For Dugu Han to take a fancy to such a woman and even enjoy it, it was clear that this Emperor Yu was also a person who was golden on the outside but rotten on the inside!

The woman said coquettishly," Chuyi is a blockhead. Even if a woman were to strip naked and lie in front of him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even frown. Why would the Emperor mention him?" Didn't the emperor already kill him?"

Dugu Han slowly opened his eyes."You're Yang Qian's wife, so how did you know that he's Er Lengzi, a wooden man? You tried to seduce him, but he rejected you, didn't you?”

The woman blushed." That was before I met the Emperor. Ever since I met the Emperor and became the Emperor's woman, I didn't even let Yang Qian touch her, let alone the sissy Chuyi.”

So this woman was actually Yang Qian's wife, Zhu Mei 'er.

Half a year ago, when she went out to offer incense, she was accidentally captured by a spy sent by Dugu Han. That night, she crawled at Dugu Han's feet and did her best to serve him. In order to ensure his status, he even stole the secret tunnel map of Western Liang City, which was why the city was destroyed today.

"Is that so? Sissy?" Dugu Han smiled faintly.

"Emperor, I beg you, I beg you!"

Dugu Han flipped over and pressed Zhu Mei 'er under him." I can give it to you, but you have to tell me one thing."”

Zhu Mei 'er panted heavily. Her eyes were wide open, and her head was swaying left and right, as if she couldn't bear the torture that Dugu Han was inflicting on her." ChenQie, ChenQie agrees. Even if ChenQie wants ChenQie to die, ChenQie will agree. I beg you, Emperor…"

Dugu Han straightened his back." I heard that this Water Seeking Pavilion was built by the people of Dunhuang's Phoenix Palace according to the original appearance of the Phoenix Palace. Is this true?”

Zhu Mei 'er nodded randomly." Yes, yes!”

"Did Yang Qian tell you personally?"

"Yes! Yang Qian, that old fellow, also said that when it was built, not only was it built according to the original appearance of the Phoenix Palace, but in order to make the Water Inquiry Pavilion exactly the same as the Phoenix Palace, it even left behind a topographic map of the Phoenix Palace.”

"What about the map?"

"Yes, yes…"

"The map is with me!"

At this moment, a figure jumped in through the window. A woman's scream was heard, and a head rolled away. Blood sprayed all over Dugu Han's face.

" You…How did you…" Dugu Han raised his head in astonishment. He was shocked to see that the " General Chu " who should have been entangled by Concubine Meng was actually standing in front of him and had even chopped off Zhu Mei 'er's head with his sword!

Chu Xiayi was cold as she stared at the naked Dugu Han expressionlessly." Why am I here? Is that so?" City Lord Yang told me that he was worried about his beautiful and young wife. He was worried that she would be seduced, so he wanted me to bring her to see him!”

" You…" Dugu Han shook his head. He couldn't believe that someone as beautiful and dignified as an immortal would do such a thing. "Don't you think you're going too far by doing this?”

Chu Xia Yi laughed coldly," Too much? Compared to allowing his soldiers to rape and pillage in the city, killing a woman who betrayed her master and husband was nothing.”After saying that, she pointed her sword at him." Get up, put on your clothes, and follow me!”

Dugu Han looked at him calmly." What do you want to do?”

"What are you doing? Of course, it is to restrain your soldiers and make them retreat 30 miles away from Western Liang City. Otherwise, Zhu Mei 'er on the couch will be your role model.”

Dugu Han widened his eyes and stared at the person in front of him. From his elegant and refined face, as well as his graceful and exquisite body that was hidden under his clothes, he saw the sword tip that was still dripping with blood. Suddenly, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha…Good! Chu Yi, the number one general of Western Liang, lived up to her reputation. She was cold in person, cold in heart, and cold in methods! I'm guessing you killed Concubine Meng as well?”

Chu Xia Yi snorted," She didn't betray her master, nor did she betray her husband. Why would I kill her? Get up. If you don't get up, don't blame me for being impolite!”

Dugu Han spread out his hands and pushed Zhu Mei 'er away. He stood in front of Chu Xia Yi, not caring that he was naked. "Aren't I already up?"

Seeing Dugu Han's slender, strong, sturdy, and naked body, Chu Xiayi was at a loss. She blushed and looked away." You, you put on your clothes. Quickly put on your clothes!”

Dugu Han's eyes lit up." We're all men. What's there to be embarrassed about? However, you look so beautiful when you blush. You can't even compare to a woman.”

Chu Xiayi glared at him with her phoenix eyes. She was both embarrassed and angry. She pointed her sword at Dugu Han's chest and said," If you continue to spout nonsense, do you believe that I will kill you?"”

Dugu Han's lips curled into an almost invisible smile as he took in the man's shyness and anger. He said,""Alright! Dying under a peony flower and being a ghost is also romantic. Although you are not a peony, you are more beautiful than a peony. To be able to die under your sword, I can't wait.”

Chu Xia Yi was extremely angry. The hand that was holding the long sword was trembling, as if she wanted to cut him down.”

However, Dugu Han had no intention of evading. Instead, he took a step forward, and the tip of the sword pierced into his chest, causing blood to seep out.

Chu Xiayi was shocked and hurriedly stopped," You…"

"Didn't you want to kill me?" Dugu Han said gently. Then let's do it! If I can die in your hands, I will die without regrets. However, don't forget that if I die, all the people in Western Liang City will be buried with me. Are you willing?”

Chu Xiayi's face paled in anger. She raised her sword, picked up the clothes on the ground, and threw them at Dugu Han." Put on your clothes. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue so that you won't be able to speak again."”

This man was the famous Emperor Yu? Why did he look like a slippery ruffian? He seduced Zhu Mei 'er and made her betray her master and her husband for him. Now that she was about to die, she actually had the mood to flirt and tease him? Did he have any sense of shame?

Dugu Han seemed to have guessed his thoughts and deliberately put on his clothes slowly. His soul-stirring eyes kept looking at him, carefully observing his reaction.

"How is it?"

Chu Xia Yi's expression was stiff. Her eyes were staring outside, not wanting to see his naked appearance." What do you mean?”

"We're both men. How do you think I look?”

Chu Xiayi couldn't help but shout," I've never seen a man naked. How would I know…" She turned around and braced herself to hide behind Dugu Han. She pressed her sword against his back." Let's go!" No one can order your army to retreat except you, so I'll have to trouble you.”

Dugu Han smiled knowingly and walked forward without saying a word. However, he secretly thought that she was most likely a girl. Otherwise, why would she have such a reaction? Was Chu Yi her real name or an alias? It should be an alias, right? Was her surname really Chu? It was said that the Dunhuang Nine Phoenixes also had the surname Chu, and Xiliang City had a close relationship with the Phoenix Palace. Could 'he' be one of the Dunhuang Nine Phoenixes?

Thinking of this, Dugu Han almost couldn't help but want to turn around and take a closer look. However, just as he moved slightly, a cold feeling on his back reminded him that this little woman was very stubborn and cold. She would definitely not show any mercy when she attacked. If he fell out with her now, he would only anger her. He didn't want to lose his head like Zhu Mei 'er. Yes! He had to think of another way to force her to reveal her fox tail.

At this time, Chu Xiayi had already escorted Dugu Han to the top of the city wall. Behind her was a large group of guards, soldiers, and ministers. What a joke! The Emperor was being escorted up the city walls. If they didn't follow, would they still be alive?

Chu Xiayi held her sword against Dugu Han's neck and said coldly,""Emperor, can you invite all the soldiers who are eating, drinking, and having fun in the city out of the city?”

Dugu Han smiled." Of course! Ye Lui Qi, blow the horn!"

Ye Lui Qi had already rushed over when he heard the news. However, when he saw Chu Xiayi threatening Dugu Han with her sword, he could only stare blankly.

At this moment, he heard Dugu Han's order and immediately said to a soldier,""Blow the horn!"

The soldier stood on the city wall, and the sound of the bugle horn immediately resounded throughout Western Liang City. Countless soldiers gathered outside like ants. Even the soldiers who were resting and having fun in the barracks ran out when they heard the sound of the bugle horn. In less than 15 minutes, the tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered. The black mass of people crowded the outside of Western Liang City.

Chu Xiayi couldn't help but secretly admire Dugu Han's leadership. No wonder his army was invincible.

Dugu Han smiled in satisfaction as he watched his army gather in an instant." What's next?”

Chu Xia Yi said,"Tell your army to retreat thirty miles!"”

Dugu Han ordered Ye Lui Qi,""Retreat thirty miles."

Ye Lui Qi seemed to have an opinion," But…"

Dugu Han rolled his eyes." Huh?"

Ye Lui Qi immediately shook his head and shouted from the city wall,""Everyone, listen up. The emperor has ordered the rear army to be the front army, and the front army to be the rear army. Retreat thirty li and set up camp.”

After the order was given, the tens of thousands of soldiers immediately retreated. Not long after, not a single soldier could be seen outside Western Liang City. Meanwhile, the citizens of Western Liang in the city had already received instructions from General Chu. They packed their bags, took their families with them, and fled for their lives while the army retreated. The bustling Western Liang City was like a dead city in a moment. Not a single person was left behind. Only Dugu Han's subjects and Chu Xiayi were left on the city wall.

Dugu Han didn't seem to care about this at all." What's next?”

Chu Xia Yi turned to look at him." What's next?”

"Yeah, what else do you want me to do?”

"Will you agree to anything I ask you to do?”

" Of course," Dugu Han said meaningfully." As long as you're willing to ask, I'll promise you and do my best to do it for you." However, the prerequisite is…"

"What is it?"

A strange smile appeared on Dugu Han's lips. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,""The prerequisite is that you have to become my woman first!”

Chu Xiayi's expression changed. Before she could react, the sword in her hand was snatched away by Dugu Han. Then, she had Dugu Han seal more than ten acupoints in succession, rendering her immobile.

"You!"

Dugu Han smiled brightly and threw the sword he had snatched onto the ground. He also pressed on Chu Xiayi's mute acupoint, making her angry, anxious, embarrassed, and furious. However, she could only glare at Dugu Han with her big round eyes.

Ye Lui Qi, who had been waiting at the side to save Dugu Han, was extremely happy. He hurriedly said,""Emperor, forgive this subject for being incompetent and not being able to resolve the emperor's crisis. I even startled the emperor, please forgive me, emperor!”

Dugu Han pretended not to hear her and only softly replied with a " hmm ". His gaze completely stopped on Chu Xiayi's beautiful face, which was so angry that it had turned white.

"Emperor, since the traitor has surrendered, then the army…" Ye Lui Qi said.

Dugu Han shook his head." No, just let them camp thirty miles away. Don't enter the city to disturb people's dreams."”

"Then, the people of Western Liang and this city…"

"Let them be! Otherwise, I'm afraid that I'll sleep until midnight and even my head will be gone.”

Chu Xia Yi's face turned red when she heard his mocking and hinting words.

" Then he..." Ye Lui Qi pointed at the immobile Chu Yi.

A strange light flashed in Dugu Han's eyes." I'll deal with General Chu personally. Don't worry about it!”

"But…"

"No buts. You've been busy all night. Go and rest! I'm fine now!"

Dugu Han picked up Chu Xiayi and strode back to the Water Inquiry Pavilion.

Dugu Han couldn't help but hesitate as he stood in the elegant and exquisite Water-Seeking Pavilion. It was a complex house that was arranged in a way that was compatible with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. He lowered his head and looked at Chu Yi." Which room are you sleeping in?"”

Chu Xia Yi closed her eyes and ignored him.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Dugu Han couldn't help but laugh."I forgot that you can't speak."”

He unlocked her mute acupoint and asked again,"Which room are you sleeping in?"

Chu Xia Yi snorted," Kill me!”

Dugu Han shook his head." I like you. How could I bear to kill you? Since you don't want to tell me, then I'll just find a random room and make do with it.”

Chu Xiayi panicked when she heard this, but it was already too late. Dugu Han found a random room and placed her on the bed." You…What do you want to do?”

Dugu Han sat on the edge of the bed, his black eyes shining brightly." I want to confirm whether you're a woman or a man because you're too beautiful to be real."”

"What about women? So what if he's a man?"

He lowered his head and stared at her." If you're a woman, then I'll take you for myself and make you mine. However, it didn't matter if you were really a man. Anyway, two men could still have sex and go to the Witch Mountain to do it together. It was just that the method was different!”

"You…what are you doing? Don't, don't!"

Chu Xiayi screamed, but how could she stop Dugu Han? He pulled off the hat she was wearing, revealing her long black hair. Then, he pulled off her clothes, first her outer coat, middle coat, and then her inner coat. Dugu Han understood everything when he took off his inner shirt and revealed the white cloth tied to his chest.

"You're indeed a woman!" Dugu Han said coldly. Tell me, what is your surname and name? Why did he replace Yang Qian as the City Lord of Western Liang?”#
