"Since you've come to challenge me, are the three of you willing to accompany me?”
The Qiuci King, who was originally addicted to wine and women and looked like a good-for-nothing, was now in high spirits and high-spirited. His face had an aura that was extremely incompatible with his.
"Of course I'm willing!"
The four of them mounted their horses and arrived before the camp. The Qiuci King said loudly,"You are the good men of the Qiuci Kingdom, do you still recognize me?”
He was the former king of Qiuci, and most of the warriors here were his former subordinates. The soldiers whispered to each other, and the formation was instantly scattered.
A moment later, the formation suddenly split apart, and three riders rushed out.
"A new king has been appointed. You are loyal to the Qiuci Kingdom, not to a family of slaves! Don't be fooled by this faint king's flowery words!”One of the Han men with a wretched appearance shouted loudly, causing the formation to stabilize again.
The Qiuci King glared, and his face seemed to carry a great dignity as he looked at the three people opposite him."Min Hongkui! Hong Xuehan! This king has treated you well, so why did you betray me?”
The two people opposite him were dressed in brocade clothes. They were yellow and slightly curly, and their eyes were deep and slightly green. They were clearly the traitors of the Qiuci Kingdom, Min Hongkui and Hong Xuehan.
After hearing the Qiuci King's words, a look of shame appeared on their faces. Only the Han rolled his eyes and said loudly,"The throne is not given by the heavens. Only the virtuous can occupy it. The two of you are only carrying out justice on behalf of the heavens. Now that a new king has been appointed, if you are willing to return with us, the king is kind and might give you a place to settle down!”
"Good! Good! Good! I actually didn't know that there was a talent like you in the country. Who are you?”Qiuci Wangjian, this Han man, could turn his attack into nothingness with just a few words.
"I'm Wu Juxuan! A lowly name is not worth mentioning…but why did the old king not know the destiny? Be careful of the wrath of heaven!"
Wu Juxuan smiled. This smile squeezed his facial features on his sallow triangular face into a pile, making him look like a deer with a rat's eyes. The few whiskers under his chin seemed to have been burned, yellow and charred. His appearance was really unflattering.
However, Chu Liuxiang stared at him as if there was a flower on his face.
The Qiuci King said angrily," There are no two suns in the sky, and no two kings in the country. You can kill me, but if you want me to submit to my son and suffer his humiliation, don't even think about it!"”
At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly rode his horse forward and laughed loudly."New king? Where is your new king?"
" Naturally, he has already ascended the throne and is waiting for good news in the Qiuci Palace…" Wu Juxuan smiled faintly, seemingly oblivious to Chu Liuxiang's gaze. However, his expression suddenly changed in the next moment.
Ta!
Ta!
The sound of clopping hooves could be heard as a yellow dragon floated in the distance. It was unknown when another group of people had appeared.
"Where is the Ironclad Army?" Min Hongkui shouted and his army immediately formed a formation. The defense was tight, but that wave of troops seemed to be very brave. They directly broke through two lines of defense and arrived in front of the camp.
Chu Liuxiang looked over and saw that this group of people carried long sabers at their waists. They were arrogant and valiant. Even though their equipment was not as good as the Iron Armored Army, they dared to fight and kill. There were more than eight hundred of them, and they actually forced the Qiuci Army into a disadvantage.
"Greetings, King of the Desert. You are the eagle of the world, and I am your most loyal hound!”
A green-bearded bandit leader bowed to Ye Qiu and raised another head high up. The other side was immediately in an uproar, and no matter how hard they tried to suppress it, it was useless.
"Green Beard, tell them what you did.”Ye Qiu smiled.
"Understood!" "The traitor An Deshan was executed two days ago!" Green Beard said loudly. His head was here! Hurry up and surrender!"
Min Hongkui and Hong Xuehan's expressions changed dramatically. The Qiuci soldiers obviously recognized the heads and became even noisier.
The Qiuci King immediately urged his horse forward and shouted,"I swear on my life and the honor of the royal family! Those who were coerced to follow the bandits in the past, if they surrendered now, their crimes would be reduced by three grades and their sentences would be light!”
The voices of the people were in turmoil, and the morale of the soldiers was even more chaotic.
"Don't listen to this person's nonsense. Take them down quickly!”
Min Hongkui said sternly. Unfortunately, not a single soldier was willing to listen to him. Only a few of his men of sacrifice looked at each other and urged their horses forward. They were still willing to risk their lives for him under such conditions.
"Our deal is here!" Hu Tiehua laughed loudly as he rode alongside Chu Liuxiang. He grabbed with both hands, and the two men of sacrifice were grabbed off their horses and thrown far away.
Hong Xuehan was a scholar, and even his horse couldn't outrun Hu Tiehua's legs. He was grabbed by Hu Tiehua and thrown into the midst of the green-bearded bandits. Only Min Hongkui drew his saber to resist, but was knocked unconscious by Hu Tiehua's slap.
The King of Qiuci raised his face and shouted,"I have regained my throne. Those who abandon their swords will live, and those who rebel will be beheaded!"”
Clang! Clang!
Hundreds of sabers fell to the ground, and the sounds of the sabers clattering against each other echoed.
Although General Min's subordinates were also battle-hardened warriors, they were all former subordinates of the King of Qiuci. Although they had rebelled, they had been forced by military orders. Now that the old king had been restored and the general had been captured, they naturally lost their will to fight.
" Haha…Awesome! Awesome!" After the chaos, Hu Tiehua opened his clothes and drank heartily. He looked around and said,"Where's the old bug?"
"You've become a lunatic after a fight…How did you notice him?”Ye Qiu said," But from the beginning to the end, he only stared at that Wu Juxuan. Perhaps he should be called Wu Hua. That monk saw that the situation was not good and ran away quickly. Chu Liuxiang chased after him!”
"He has been gone for so long. No matter who he is chasing, it should be easy for him!”Hu Tiehua looked worried.
"I can guarantee you that he will be safe and sound! Don't worry, just drink!"
Ye Qiu pointed into the distance, and the tent was brightly lit. It turned out that the Qiuci King had already set up a grand celebration banquet, bringing out all kinds of delicacies and wine.
He had succeeded in restoring his country and beheaded his enemy. He was very proud and happy, and it was indeed the case.
"Come, come! Hero Hu, you have made great contributions in capturing the enemy leader alive. I toast you!”
The two of them entered the banquet hand in hand. In the tent, the Qiuci King repeatedly urged them to drink. Although the person was still the same person from yesterday, Hu Tiehua looked left and right and felt that this person seemed to be different.
"How is it? This Qiuci King is here with us to attract firepower, but he is already secretly planning to restore the country…"
"For example, bribing you and your men to kill the new king?”
Although Hu Tiehua usually liked to drink, this time, he actually felt that his mouth was tasteless.
"My most respected friend!" The Qiuci King's face was flushed with excitement. He went forward and held Ye Qiu's hand."Thank you and your men for your help. Otherwise, how could Little Wang's plan to restore the country be successful?”
"This time, I only did my best. Just relying on Green Beard and his eight hundred men is probably not enough, right?”Ye Qiu glanced at Green Beard.
The leader of the desert horse bandits, who was licking blood from his blade, actually trembled and dropped the cup in his hand on the table.
"Haha…that's right. Although this king was here, I secretly ordered people to open the previous emperor's treasure and bribed five armies. Without anyone knowing, I completed the great task of restoring the country!”The Qiuci King was very pleased.
If someone did something that he was proud of, he would not be able to sleep tonight if he did not finish speaking proudly.
"The former emperor's treasure?" Princess Pipa was the most surprised. She looked at the Qiuci King in shock."Father…isn't the secret of the treasure hidden in the Blissful Star? And the Star of Bliss has already been snatched away…"
" That's just a rumor that Father deliberately made up," the Qiuci King said." It makes others think that there's a great secret in this gem. I can only rely on it to have hope of restoring my country. When their attention is all focused on this gem, I can do many things in secret…"
"Don't tell me you don't trust your daughter anymore?" Princess Pipa pouted.”
The Qiuci King sighed." It's not that I don't trust you, but the more tightly I hide this secret, the more others will suspect me. As long as I don't reveal this secret, my life will not be in danger. Those who want to find out this secret will definitely protect me in secret.”
"Haha…Your Highness is indeed a smart person!”Ye Qiu clapped his hands and laughed. Only Hu Tiehua shook his head."Sigh…A father hides his daughter's identity and hates enemies for the sake of the throne. He's willing to never be born into the royal family. I, Old Hu, only know how it feels today…It's a pity that the seven tigers of the Peng family and the other Central Plainsmen lost their lives for nothing…"
"One general's achievements can make ten thousand bones wither! It had always been like this since ancient times…If ordinary people wanted to obtain something, they would have to give up some things…Come! Let's drink the wine in our cups and not ask about tomorrow's matter!”The Qiuci King was silent for a moment before smiling.
"What a good 'drink the wine in the cup, don't ask about tomorrow's happening'!”Ye Qiu seemed to sigh,"But does Your Highness really think that all your enemies have been killed?" Just like that, you revealed your secret and took off your last amulet…"
"What's wrong?" "An Deshan's head is here. Min Hongkui and Hong Xuehan have also been captured. I really can't think of any other enemies…"
"In truth, these three people are also puppets. They're nothing…but behind them, there's a terrifying black hand manipulating everything!”
Ye Qiu's words seemed to carry a hint of coldness, and everyone in the tent couldn't help but shiver.
"Blackhand? Who is it?" The Qiuci King said in shock.
"That might be the most beautiful hand in the world!”Ye Qiu sighed faintly.
"Many thanks for your highness 'praise, this concubine really doesn't deserve it!”
Suddenly, a sweet smile was heard, like a pearl falling on a jade plate. As the fragrance blew, there was already a beautiful woman in the tent, ethereal like a fairy.
Even though her face was covered with a light veil, her beautiful face looked like peonies in the smoke and peach blossoms in the fog. She was so beautiful that it was simply suffocating.
"Beloved Consort, why are you here? Be careful of your body!" When the Qiuci King saw his precious baby, he immediately forgot everything. He did not expect the Qiuci Princess Consort to have such a wondrous movement technique.
Only Hu Tiehua's expression had changed. Looking at the princess consort's face made his blood boil, and he recalled the night of their wedding night that he could not bear to look back on.
"A mere Cold Dew is really nothing…But do you still recognize me?”
The Qiuci Princess raised her delicate hand and stroked her face. Her hand was indeed beautiful to the extreme. It was of the right size and the curves were perfect.
"Beloved Consort, you must be joking. How could I not recognize you…"
The Qiuci King paused, and an expression as if he had seen a ghost suddenly appeared on his face, because the Qiuci Princess Consort had already taken off a human skin mask that was as thin as a cicada's wing.
Everyone in the tent was stunned.
This was because the appearance under this human skin was ten thousand times more beautiful than the beautiful Qiuci Princess!
Many people often used the term 'starry eyes' to describe a woman's beautiful eyes, but how could the starlight compare to the brightness and gentleness of her eyes?
Many people often used the word " spring mountain " to describe the eyebrows of a beautiful woman, but even the misty spring mountain could not compare to the grace of her beautiful eyebrows.
It was as if heaven and earth had a preference for her, gathering all the grace on her face.
"Who…who are you?" The Qiuci King retreated a few steps.
"I am the Qiuci Princess, but the Qiuci Princess is not me!”The Qiuci Princess Consort's voice was already beautiful and moving, but now it had an indescribable charm that simply intoxicated one's mind.
By this time, everyone had guessed who she was.
"Shi Guanyin! You are Shi Guanyin!" Ye Qiu's voice was loud and clear, and it was filled with regret."Since you're already so beautiful, I want to see Qiu Lingsu even more. How beautiful was she before you ruined her face?”
"Your Highness shouldn't have mentioned her!" When Shi Guanyin heard Qiu Lingsu's name, her eyes suddenly changed. Her eyes, which were originally as clear as autumn water, suddenly became as sharp as an eagle, as vicious as a wolf, and as cold as a knife. The people in the tent shuddered and were speechless.
The King of Qiuci collapsed on his seat and said miserably,"Where's my princess? You…you killed her?"
"You don't have to feel bad," Shi Guanyin said gently."Am I not as good as her?" Since I've already replaced her, I'll continue to replace her forever!”
"You?" The Qiuci King was suddenly stunned.
"That's right. The King of Qiuci is all alone, and now he only has one daughter. If anything happens to the King and Princess, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Naturally, a new king will be appointed. Everyone has spent a lot of effort to fight for this throne, but she easily captured it without any effort.”Ye Qiu sighed.
Shi Guanyin chuckled softly. It was as if winter had passed and spring had arrived in the tent, with flowers blooming." The King of the Desert is indeed the King of the Desert. My previous promise to share a country is still valid. As long as you nod your head, you will be the new king of Qiuci Kingdom, and I will be the queen…"
"Are you that confident?" Ye Qiu played with his wine glass, not giving a response. However, the breathing of the others became heavy, as if the person in Ye Qiu's seat had become them.
Hu Tiehua asked himself. Out of ten thousand people in the entire martial arts world, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine of them would probably agree.
"Of course I'm confident! Do you know that I have already bribed and controlled two of the five armies that have been restored? If you include the subordinates of His Highness, there are three!”
Shi Guanyin said confidently. Anyone would know who the prince she called was.
"You…what do you want to do to us?”the Qiuci King said in a trembling voice as he hid in a corner.
Shi Guanyin smiled." I've been married to you for so many days and nights. As the saying goes, one night as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. Why would I deal with you?" As long as you drink the wine in front of you, you won't have any more troubles in the future…"
"You…you want to kill me?"
" That's right. The amount of poison in that cup of wine is enough for you and your daughter…" Shi Guanyin said coldly.
Just as she finished speaking, Princess Pipa suddenly flew up.
She did not speak because she was already prepared to make a move. At this moment, as she moved, the silver light from the pipa in her arms flew out like a sky full of stars and exploded behind Shi Guanyin.
Clang! She pulled out the curved sword again. Her moves were light and flexible, and every move seemed to contain a backup plan.
After Princess Pipa made her move, the green-bearded man seemed to be thinking of something. He roared and charged forward with his saber.
His martial arts were practiced through hundreds of battles. Although there were no fancy moves or follow-ups in this slash, he only used all his mental strength to chop off the other party's head.
This saber had actually staked his life on it. If he did not succeed, he would die!
