The Prince of Wu knew the geographical differences between the north and south. He frowned and said, “The tribes of the Western Sea have long dispersed. Northern Liang has annexed them for decades, but they haven’t been able to make the tribes submit completely. If 1 go there, how can 1 make those northwestern barbarians pledge their loyalty to me?”
“Heavenly Carnelian Lake is the holy land of the tribes of the Western Sea, and the Heavenly Carnelian Bead is regarded by the tribes as a god-given gift. I’ve recreated the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. If Your Highness goes there, you only need to find the leader of a large tribe and offer this bead—”
?
When Bai Siming heard this, he said impatiently, “Then the leader will consume it and die on the spot, and the tribe will dismember us?”
Zhang Jinglin said confidently, “My Heavenly Carnelian Bead is definitely real. Guan Yujia must have exploded and died because of his serious injuries. Mr. Bai, if you take it, you will definitely- -”
“I will definitely die.”
After Bai Siming saw Guan Yujia’s spectacular death, he had already determined that the Heavenly Carnelian Bead was a quick-acting body explosion pill’. Whoever believed it was a fool.
If not for the fact that Zhang Jinglin s medical skills were indeed outstanding and were their capital to protect their lives, he would have made Zhang Jinglin test how domineering the Heavenly Carnelian Bead was himself.
Everyone chatted for a while. Their thoughts of committing suicide were dispelled by their desire to live, and they began to discuss how to break out of the encirclement.
But not long after they chatted, a personal guard guarding the mountain ridge rushed in. “Things are bad. The Prince of Jing seems to have brought many experts here to storm us…”
When Bai Siming heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that he was really doomed this time.
If they were just ordinary soldiers, it was still possible for them to rely on the natural barriers to defend until nighttime and break our with the Prince of Wu alone.
But the Prince of Jing had brought the experts of the Imperial Court here. With just a cliff and six or seven personal guards, it was impossible for them to defend this place. Not to mention anything else, just Ye Jingtang alone was enough to make them suffer.
If the Prince of Wu were caught, he might be given a peaceful death. But his loyalists would definitely be executed by death by a thousand cuts or dismemberment.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Bai Siming had the determination to die. After a moment of silence, he stood up. “I’ll go out and take a look. If the situation isn’t good… Your Highness can decide for yourself whether to stay or leave.”
After saying his words of farewell, Bai Siming tidied his robe and strode toward the exit of the cave, lie wanted to display the peerless elegance of a peak martial artist in the final battle of his life. Even if he died, he would die like an intrepid person.
At the same time, below the mountain ridge…
After Ye Jingtang communicated with the military officer who had persuaded the surrender, he learned that there were only seven or eight scattered soldiers left. Zhang Jinglin seemed to be still alive, so he naturally couldn’t wait at the foot of the mountain foolishly. If the Prince of Wu planned to commit suicide and killed Zhang Jinglin along the way, it would be a huge loss for Great Wei.
After confirming the situation, Ye Jingtang requested to go to Yellow Stone Ridge personally to negotiate with the Prince of Wu.
It wasn’t easy for Dongfang Liren to come here, so she definitely had to send her subordinate to do something. She naturally agreed, but for safety reasons, she still instructed, “Master, please go up with Ye Jingtang. If the situation isn’t right, prioritize self-protection. There’s no need to force yourselves to capture the Prince of WTu alive.”
Daoist Xuanji was just worried that it would be boring to stand in the camp as a pretty face. Hearing this, she walked straight to Yellowstone Ridge. “Young Master Ye, let s go.”
In a black official robe with a saber hanging at his waist, Ye Jingtang walked behind Daoist Xuanji. When he was far away from the soldiers behind, he asked, “Miss Shuier, how are your injuries?”
Daoist Xuanji strolled on the narrow path that was only wide enough for one person and chuckled. “You call me fairy in front of others but Shul er behind their backs. What do you mean by this, Young Master Ye?”
Because the path was too narrow. Ye Jingtang could only walk behind Daoist Xuanji. It wasn’t appropriate for him to look at her swaying waist and hips, so he looked up. “Miss Shui er, you said that senior’ made you seem old, so 1 naturally can’t call you that. As for fairy, I don’t think you look like an immortal or a god. It feels… um… a little strange to call you fairy.”
Daoist Xuanji knew that her image in Ye Jingtang’s heart had long collapsed, and he lacked awe for her.
In order to salvage her image, Daoist Xuanji decided to put on an act and gently tapped her embroidered shoes on the ground.
Swoosh!
Under the gaze of nearly a thousand soldiers, an otherworldly woman in a snow-white dress suddenly soared into the sky without much effort. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at a corner at rhe top of the cliff.
Behind the corner, there were two of the Prince of Wu’s personal guards. They were originally secretly observing the situation below the cliff. But before they could react, the woman in white arrived in front of them, and then…
Tap, tap-
Daoist Xuanji tapped her snow-white scabbard lightly twice. The two personal guards collapsed on the narrow path with shock and confusion in their eyes.
Dongfang Liren was watching from afar. When she saw this scene, she was shocked. But before the admiration in her eyes could appear, she saw Ye Jingtang, who was following behind, leap up lightly and tap the leaves on rhe mountain wall with the tip of his foot. In an instant, he jumped up the mountain and landed beside Daoist Xuanji. There was no sound along rhe way, just like a black leaf blown up by the wind.
“What?!” The chief constables of the Black Office, who were standing at the back, were quite familiar with Ye Jingtang. When they saw that he could actually show off his lightness skills in front of Daoist Xuanji and even had his own merits, their eyes couldn’t help showing shock. Dongfang Liren’s eyes lit up with stars.
Daoist Xuanji turned around and saw Ye Jingtang’s graceful demeanor. She looked down at the cliff that was hundreds of feet high, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. “You…”
“Why are you running so fast? Those who drown are those who are good at swimming. It’s not a good habit to act brave and charge forward.”
ir n
Daoist Xuanji didn’t achieve her goal of showing off and was even lectured by Ye Jingtang. Naturally, she wasn’t very happy and said stubbornly, “Those people are just a few nameless pawns. Being overly cautious will only waste time..”
