[Wuxia] Roaming the World with Romantic Fortune (Complete) - 28-30

Chapter Six: Taking Flying Tiger City by Strategy

Upon hearing this, the skilled fighters, all former notorious bandits, couldn't stop smiling.

Liu Lang said to Chen Zhong, "General Chen, your contribution is the greatest, so you can choose two first!"

Chen Zhong was initially reluctant, but after a few words of persuasion from Liu Lang, he stepped forward and took two women away. Liu Lang noticed that Chen Zhong seemed to already have his preferred candidates, and although the two women were still crying, they were both quite attractive. One, judging from her hairstyle and clothing, appeared to be a young married woman, while the other, though a bit dark-skinned, was a virgin.

Liu Lang asked, "General Chen Zhong, do you know these two women?"

Chen Zhong replied, "That woman is Li Muhu's wife, Wan Ju, and the other is his sister, Li Muyun. Li Muhu has always been at odds with me, and today I'm going to have my way with his wife and sister to vent my anger! If it weren't for General Qin, I probably would never have felt this good in my life." Liu

Lang laughed, "General Chen, please enjoy yourself!"

Wan Ju cursed, "Qin Dongyang, you dog of an official, you'll die a horrible death!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong slapped Wan Ju, causing her to vomit blood, and said, "You scoundrel, how dare you curse General Qin!"

With that, Chen Zhong tucked Li Muhu's wife and sister under his arm and went home.

Afterwards, Chen Ganshun took Wu Mang's wife and daughter, while Xue Hu Seng and Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu fought fiercely, each taking four women. The others also took the women they wanted, leaving only Long Qiuping in the end.

Seeing this, Liu Lang said, "Mr. Long, do you not find any of them appealing?"

Long Qiuping replied, "General, I haven't yet established my career and don't want to be obsessed with women. Besides, these women aren't suitable for me."

Liu Lang noticed that Long Qiuping's eyes kept glancing at Lan Liu as he spoke, and cursed inwardly: No matter what, Lan Liu is my woman now! You bastard, you're still thinking about Lan Liu! But I'll let you off for now; I'll deal with you later!

Liu Lang looked at the remaining women; they were indeed unattractive. He said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you, Mr. Long. Since you don't like those women, you can do with them as you please."

Long Qiuping nodded, and with a swift movement, several screams were heard. All the women died under Long Qiuping's palm, their skulls shattered or broken.

Liu Lang thought: Are you deliberately showing off your skills? But your skills aren't enough to scare me!

Afterwards, Liu Lang ordered Long Qiuping to lead a thousand men to patrol the city and guard the city gates, forbidding anyone from leaving Woniu Pass without permission.

After finishing his business, Liu Lang had lunch with Murong Feixue and the other two, then took them to their room to indulge in pleasure.

At this moment, Liu Lang saw that Lan Liu seemed lost in thought, and probably knew what she was thinking, so he laughed and said, "Little Lan Lan, what are you thinking about?"

Lan Liu said, "Nothing!"

Liu Lang pushed Lan Liu down onto the bed, and while thrusting his dragon spear into her, he said, "Are you still thinking about what happened at the inn that day? You were taken advantage of by Long Qiuping..."

Lan Liu blushed and said in a coquettish voice, "Sixth Master, that day I was tricked by... my sister, and that's why I was taken advantage of by my senior brother while I was unconscious. I... I really don't like him!"

Liu Lang laughed and said, "Little Lan Lan, you don't need to be afraid. That day, your senior brother didn't take advantage of you at all..."

Lan Liu asked, "Sixth Master, how do you know?"

Liu Lang thrust his dragon spear into Lan Liu twice and laughed, "Your stupid senior brother doesn't have that kind of luck! To tell you the truth, the one who slept with you that day was actually me!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang laughed loudly, and then thrust into Lan Liu forcefully. Lan Liu was being tormented to the point of death, but she was still confused.

Seeing this, Murong Feixue laughed, "Lanliu, let me tell you, the senior brother you saw that day wasn't Long Qiuping."

"Then who was it?"

Murong Feixue said, "It was me! I used a disguise!"

Lanliu suddenly realized, and said sweetly, "You're so mean! You tricked me with Sixth Master, making me not know what to do when I saw my senior brother..."

Sixth Master said, "Don't mind Long Qiuping. I can tell he has no good intentions towards you. He doesn't dare now, but given the chance... Hmph! That kid will definitely do something. Little Lanlan, you have to be good..."

Lanliu endured Sixth Master's attacks while sweetly saying, "Sixth Master, you..." "You've been so good to me... I could never repay you even if I died... Hmm! Just let this lowly concubine die..."

Liu Lang laughed, "As long as you're obedient, I'll introduce you to Da Lanlan later."

Murong Feixue frowned and asked, "Liu Lang, who is Da Lanlan?"

Liu Lang laughed, "Lan Mengdie!"

At dusk, Liu Lang summoned Long Qiuping from the mansion's personal guards and inquired about the situation outside Woniu Pass. Upon learning that nothing unexpected had happened, Liu Lang instructed Long Qiuping to remain on patrol that night.

At this moment, Long Qiuping inadvertently revealed news that surprised Liu Lang: "General, according to my men's report, there seems to be fighting at Feihu Pass."

Liu Lang quickly asked, "What kind of fighting?"

Long Qiuping exclaimed in surprise, "General, don't you know? The Song army is attacking Feihu City!"

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Who is attacking Feihu City?"

Long Qiuping shook his head and said, "I don't know. General Chen Zhong always reports these things to you. Aren't I only in charge of maintaining order?"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Go down. Be on your guard and make sure to patrol strictly."

After Long Qiuping left, Liu Lang asked Zhang Huiru, "When did the Song army attack Feihu City?"

Zhang Huiru said, "A few days ago, I heard that the Song army was attacking Feihu City..."

Liu Lang scolded, "You slut, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Zhang Huiru said aggrievedly, "Sixth Master, how would I know you wanted to know!"

Liu Lang said, "Never mind! Immediately order someone to bring Chen Zhong here!"

Soon, Chen Zhong appeared, looking sullen.

Seeing Chen Zhong's worried expression, Liu Lang asked, "General Chen, why do you look so pale?"

Chen Zhong sighed and said, "General Qin, to be honest, that woman from Li Muhu's family is really difficult to deal with. I've been trying all afternoon, but I still haven't been able to win her

over..." Liu Lang asked in surprise, "You still haven't gotten her?"

Chen Zhong said embarrassedly, "General Qin, I'm truly ashamed! I was about to succeed the first time, but I ejaculated prematurely. Later, that woman resisted desperately, and in my haste, I knocked her unconscious... But I just couldn't get her, and then..."

Liu Lang cursed inwardly: So she's a good-for-nothing, she became impotent right away. How can someone like that work for me?

Chen Zhong continued, "However, I've already slept with Li Muhu's sister, it was really great... General Qin, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get revenge on Li Muhu!"

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with revenge?"

Chen Zhong replied, "General Qin, you don't know, my deceased wife was caught by me having an affair with Li Muhu, and I killed her in a fit of rage..."

Liu Lang sighed inwardly: If you weren't so impotent, would your wife have committed adultery?

"General Qin, what brings you here?"

Liu Lang asked, "What's the current military situation in Flying Tiger City?"

Chen Zhong said, "A few days ago, I received intelligence that a Song army was attacking Feihu City. I wonder if they were here to support General Yang and General Qin?"

Liu Lang asked, "Who is the commander?"

Chen Zhong replied, "This humble general is not quite sure, but I heard that the female general is extremely powerful. She shot and killed three generals in a row, and Sha Baofei was so frightened that he dared not come out..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang dismissed Chen Zhong, thinking to himself: Fourth Sister, is that you? But who else could have shot and killed three generals but Fourth Sister?

At this moment, Murong Feixue guessed that the female general was Yang Sijie and exclaimed happily, "So it's Sijie! Liulang, it seems we can open the road to Waqiao Pass!"

Seeing Liulang in a daze, Murong Feixue quickly asked, "Liulang, what are you thinking about?"

Liulang nodded and smiled, "I know..."

Murong Feixue asked, "Know what?"

Liulang did not answer Murong Feixue's question, but only ordered, "Immediately prepare a light cavalry force. I want to go to Feihu Pass to help Sijie."

Murong Feixue said, "That's good. Open the road to Waqiao Pass ahead of time. Liulang, I'll go with you."

Liulang waved his hand and said, "No need. You stay here and guard Woniu Pass with them. I'll go alone. " "That's fine!"

Zhang Huiru said sweetly, "Sixth Master, are we not going to do it tonight?"

Sixth Master slapped Zhang Huiru's bottom and scolded, "We're in a crisis, what's the point of doing it now?"

Murong Feixue said, "It's quite a distance from here to Feihu City, won't this delay the matter at Jietang Pass?"

Sixth Master said, "No! Although Cheng Shijie has many soldiers and has brought in cannons, Jietang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, Kou Zhun, Yue Sheng, and Rentang Society are all resourceful, and Zi Ruoer and the others are also skilled in martial arts. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term. Besides, didn't we agree to coordinate from the inside and outside within three days? I will get back as soon as possible."

After saying that, Sixth Master wished he could fly to Yang Sijie's side in one step.

After leaving Woniu Pass, Sixth Master led a thousand light cavalrymen and rushed towards Feihu City.

Although it took Sixth Master two days to come, how could the marriage procession compare to the light cavalry! When Sixth Master set off, the sun had not yet set, and when he arrived at Feihu City, the morning light had just spread across the land.

Liu Lang saw a large camp outside the south gate of Feihu City, but the number of troops seemed small.

He walked around the camp to the city gate and loudly ordered it opened.

Sha Baofei personally came out to greet Liu Lang, smiling broadly, "General Qin, your presence is an honor! I am deeply grateful. I never expected the Marquis to send you to aid me. I am truly thankful!"

Liu Lang cupped his hands in thanks, "General Sha, you are too kind. Although I have brought few troops, I have heard the Song army is also small, so you need not be afraid. These thousand soldiers are enough to help you repel the enemy."

Sha Baofei laughed, "That's true. However, that female general is truly formidable. Her three-pointed double-edged sword is unmatched. Several of my generals have died by her blade. Moreover, this female general is skilled in archery. Yesterday, when I was watching the battle from the city wall, she shot an arrow, and I was unable to dodge it." "That arrow actually pierced my armor and almost killed me! It was a close call!"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "I know! General Sha, just focus on recovering from your injuries. When that female general arrives, I, Qin, will deal with her."

At this moment, a scout came to report, "General, that very powerful female general is challenging us outside the city again, and even threatened to attack the city."

Sha Baofei said, "Order the city walls to be strictly defended! General Qin, that female general only has three thousand soldiers. It's impossible for her to successfully attack the city, but she is too powerful. We should hold the city gates!"

Liu Lang slammed his hand on the table and said, "Outrageous! How can we refuse to fight! I will go and capture her."

With that, Liu Lang led his men out of the city to meet the enemy.

After Liu Lang left, Sha Baofei's concubine came over and said, "General, did Qin Dongyang come to Feihu City to relieve the siege or to supervise the battle? I heard he's the brother-in-law of the Marquis of Taiyuan. You mustn't offend him!"

Sha Baofei said, "My lady is absolutely right. Let's go! Let's go watch the battle."

Just as Sha Baofei and his concubine arrived at the city gate, they heard Liu Lang return laughing loudly. The female general was found bound hand and foot by the soldiers. The Song army outside the city, desperate to rescue their captured general, tried desperately to get her back, but the gates of Feihu City were tightly closed and the drawbridge was high in the air. They had no ladders to attack the city and could only retreat to their camp.

Sha Baofei stepped forward and laughed, "General Qin is truly valiant; I didn't expect you to capture the enemy general so quickly."

Looking at Yang Sijie, who was bound hand and foot, Sha Baofei felt a surge of pride and said, "This woman has killed several of my generals. Why doesn't General Qin cut off her head and hang it on the city gate to frighten the Song soldiers?"

Yang Sijie, dressed in plain white armor, was as beautiful as an orchid. Her bright eyes revealed an unyielding anger. Her slender body, tightly bound by thick hemp ropes, accentuated her curves, revealing her high breasts and slender waist.

Although captured, Yang Sijie still cursed, "Traitors! If you have the guts, kill me now, or you'll all be waiting to die!"

Sha Baofei was enraged upon hearing this and immediately drew his sword, ready to cut off Yang Sijie's head.

Seeing this, Liu Lang grabbed Sha Baofei's wrist, and because he used too much force, Sha Baofei cried out in pain, and his hand loosened, causing the knife to fall to the ground.

Liu Lang said with a stern face, "General Sha, do you have any manners? I haven't even given the order yet, and you dare to execute my prisoner of war?"

Sha Baofei smiled obsequiously, "Fine, I'll obey General Qin's decision."

Liu Lang said, "I want to interrogate her to find out exactly when the court will attack Feihu City. Humph! If your Feihu City falls, wouldn't that cause me more trouble? Now, the Marquis of Taiyuan has trapped the Imperial Envoy at Jietang Pass and is about to break into the city. We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sijie couldn't help but ask, "Traitors, what have you done to Imperial Envoy Yang?"

Liu Lang saw that Yang Sijie's face had turned pale upon hearing of his danger, and her anxious eyes, yearning for news, were unmistakable. This filled Liu Lang with secret joy: So Sijie cares about me so much. And just now, she didn't care about Sha Baofei's threats, but she was so concerned about my safety. She must love me deeply and have been thinking about my whereabouts in Shanxi!

On the surface, Liu Lang remained calm, deliberately saying, "Hmph! Do you really not know? Although that imperial envoy's martial arts are not weak, how can he compare to the unparalleled skill of the Marquis of Taiyuan? In the decisive battle before Jietang Pass, that fellow was beaten by the Marquis of Taiyuan until he vomited blood, and then I rushed up and chopped off his arm with one stroke, and was also hit by two flying arrows. If it weren't for his men's valiant efforts to save him, he would probably be dead by now! But even if he survived, he would be a cripple! Hahaha..."

After saying this, Liu Lang heard Yang Sijie cry out "Aiya!" and faint.

Seeing this, Liu Lang immediately ordered his men to carry Yang Sijie to the guest room that Sha Baofei had prepared for him, and said to Sha Baofei, "General Sha, leave this to me. You go and help me prepare a victory banquet!"

Sha Baofei responded repeatedly and happily prepared the victory banquet with his concubine.

Liu Lang ordered his personal guards, "No one is allowed to enter without my order. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

After giving the order, Liu Lang closed the door. Seeing Yang Sijie unconscious and leaning against the rattan chair, he went over and nudged her twice, but she still didn't wake up. He then loosened the ropes around her and called out, "Sijie, Sijie!"

At this moment, Yang Sijie slowly woke up.

Liu Lang was immediately excited and called out, "Sijie, don't be afraid, it's me, it's Liu Lang!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Yang Sijie looked at Liu Lang in confusion.

Seeing this, Liu Lang tore off the human skin mask from his face and said softly, "Fourth Sister, Liu Lang missed you so much..."

Fourth Sister Yang said angrily, "Liu Lang, how could you do this?"

Liu Lang said, "My current identity is Qin Dongyang, the general of Woniu Pass, and the brother-in-law of Cheng Shijie, the Marquis of Taiyuan." Fourth

Sister Yang asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Liu Lang then told Fourth Sister Yang about the thrilling encounters he had encountered along the way, embellishing the story. When he got to the part where he almost starved to death at Santai Pass, Fourth Sister Yang's expression became tense.

Seeing Yang Sijie's tense expression, Liulang laughed and said, "Fourth Sister, don't worry, I'm right here in front of you, aren't I? Besides, Eldest Sister and the others have all retreated safely to Jietang Pass! In order to defeat the enemy, Eldest Sister and I launched a night raid on Woniu Pass. Afterwards, Eldest Sister disguised me as Qin Dongyang and killed his confidants, successfully capturing Woniu Pass. Just as I was about to rescue Jietang Pass, I heard someone attacking Feihu Pass. I guessed it was you, Fourth Sister, so I rushed here overnight..."

Yang Sijie said angrily, "Do you know how scared you were just now!"

Liulang said, "Fourth Sister, Sha Baofei is helping me prepare a victory banquet. Later, we'll find an opportunity to kill him and take Feihu City first."

Yang Sijie thought Liulang was absolutely right, so she nodded in agreement with his suggestion.

After preparing a victory banquet, Sha Baofei sent someone to invite Liu Lang over, but to his surprise, Liu Lang brought Yang Si Jie with him. He exclaimed, "General Qin, what is this...?"

Liu Lang laughed and said, "General Sha, don't you know that my brother-in-law is a master of Qimen Dunjia? He is proficient in the Six Harmonies Mystic Control, and I have also learned some of his skills. I have already cast a spell on her, otherwise why would she be so obedient?"

Sha Baofei suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up, saying, "General Qin is indeed amazing. You know, this woman is very fierce, but now she is completely subdued by General Qin. I am truly impressed!"

After Liu Lang and Sha Baofei took their seats, Sha Baofei's concubine poured wine for them.

Seeing Yang Sijie standing motionless behind Liu Lang, seemingly under a spell, Sha Baofei was filled with envy and asked, "General Qin, was this skill personally taught by the Marquis of Taiyuan?"

Liu Lang replied, "Indeed. Does General Sha also wish to learn it?"

Sha Baofei asked happily, "I wonder if this humble general can learn it?"

Liu Lang said, "Learning it is easy, but what use would it be to you?"

Sha Baofei gave Yang Sijie a lecherous look and said, "If I learn it, I can control the little beauty, and then I can do whatever I want..."

Liu Lang smiled and said, "That's true, but I think General Sha's wife..." "Very virtuous, no need for further training! Unlike this female general, she's fierce; if you do

n't cast a spell on her, she'll fight you to the death." Sha Baofei said with a forced smile, "General Qin, could you demonstrate that spell so I can see for myself?"

Liu Lang glanced at Sha Baofei contemptuously and said, "Alright! Then I'll show you."

Saying this, Liu Lang turned his head and gestured wildly towards Yang Si Jie, then pointed to his thigh and said, "Sit here!"

Seeing Yang Si Jie obediently sit on Liu Lang's lap, Sha Baofei's eyes widened in surprise. He thought to himself, "This Qimen magic is truly amazing! It seems Qin Dongyang has already taken advantage of this female general; what a pity!" Looking at Yang Si Jie's stunningly beautiful face, Sha Baofei sighed inwardly.

Seeing Sha Baofei's thoughtful expression, Liu Lang reached out and hugged Yang Si Jie, his hand reaching to her chest and kneading it through her clothes.

Seeing this, Sha Baofei swallowed hard and said, "General Qin, you are truly amazing. May I also touch this female general?"

Liu Lang said, "That's impossible. A gentleman cannot steal another's beauty. You already have a beauty by your side, why would you want to compete with me?"

Sha Baofei chuckled wickedly twice and said, "General Qin, this female prisoner you captured is many times more beautiful than my wife. Just looking at her is enough to steal my soul. Now that she is under your control, let me touch her a couple of times." As

he spoke, Sha Baofei reached out to touch Yang Sijie.

Liu Lang stopped Sha Baofei's actions, saying, "Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I did that? How about... we make an exchange? You let me touch your wife for a while, and I'll let you play with that female general for a while. What do you say?"

Sha Baofei's eyes lit up at the suggestion, and he exclaimed, "Great! Excellent!"

Sha Baofei's concubine almost burst into tears, saying, "General, how... how can you give me away to someone else to play with? Waaah!"

Sha Baofei angrily retorted, "You scoundrel! You were going to let me play with you anyway, and look at General Qin, so handsome and distinguished. It's your good fortune that he's interested in you!"

With that, Sha Baofei pushed his concubine towards Liu Lang.

Liu Lang pulled the sobbing concubine away and said to Sha Baofei, "General Sha is indeed generous, but it feels a bit awkward for us to be together here... Why don't you go to the room with that female general? That way, no one can see anyone, and wouldn't that be more enjoyable?"

Sha Baofei happily exclaimed, "Excellent!"

With that, Sha Baofei reached out to embrace Yang Sijie.

Seeing this, Liu Lang stopped Sha Baofei, saying, "No! You'll make my spell ineffective. How about this, I'll use my spell to make her walk into the room herself."

With that, Liu Lang made random hand gestures towards Yang Sijie, and Yang Sijie stood up and slowly walked towards the room.

At this moment, Liu Lang picked up Sha Baofei's concubine and placed her on his lap. Regardless of her wishes, he pulled open her bodice, revealing her pink breast binder.

Sha Baofei was somewhat displeased at the sight, but thinking that he would soon possess a woman ten times more beautiful than his concubine, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He then stood up and walked towards the room…

Suddenly, Sha Baofei heard Liu Lang

scream "Ah!" Sha Baofei quickly turned around and saw Liu Lang's hand inside the pink breast binder, grasping and vigorously kneading her breasts. Sha Baofei's concubine looked at him despairingly, her eyes filled with tears.

Liu Lang exclaimed, "General Sha, your wife's breasts are really small!"

Sha Baofei snorted and walked into the room with a gloomy face. But as soon as he entered, he heard a muffled groan. Liu Lang guessed that Yang Sijie had succeeded and couldn't help but feel smug. Liu Lang

kneaded Sha Baofei's concubine's tender breasts with one hand, while the other hand untied the ribbon tied around his waist and reached inside.

Sha Baofei's concubine struggled weakly, tears welling in her eyes, and said to Liu Lang, "General, please, don't do this!"

Liu Lang chuckled, his fingers touching the wet, tender flesh between Sha Baofei's concubine's legs. He dug and prodded, saying, "Blame Sha Baofei if you want! I truly feel sorry for you!"

Looking at Sha Baofei's concubine's tear-streaked face, which was quite beautiful, Liu Lang couldn't help but kiss her tear-stained face. But before he could kiss her, he felt a sharp pain in his ear. Turning around, he saw Yang Sijie standing behind him with a blood-stained knife.

With a stern face, Yang Sijie twisted Liu Lang's ear and said, "You...you actually did it to her!"

Liu Lang quickly cried out, "Fourth Sister, no! Let go, it hurts so much!"

Yang Sijie released her grip on Liu Lang's ear, then lifted Sha Baofei's concubine. Yang Sijie's arm strength was immense; the concubine was as light as a kitten in her hands. Moreover, because Liu Lang had untied the concubine's skirt sash, her silk underpants slipped down, exposing the concubine's lower body.

Seeing Sha Baofei's concubine naked from the waist down, Yang Sijie was even more enraged and cursed, "You slut, how dare you seduce Liu Lang!"

With that, Yang Sijie thrust her steel knife forward, and before Liu Lang could stop her, the blade had already plunged into the concubine's abdomen.

Seeing Sha Baofei's concubine die instantly, Liu Lang spread his hands and said, "Fourth Sister, why did you kill her?"

Yang Sijie angrily said, "If I didn't kill this lowly woman, would I keep her to sleep with you?"

Seeing that Yang Sijie was angry, Liu Lang quickly said, "Fourth Sister, I was just acting, don't be jealous! Alright! Now that Sha Baofei has been taken down, Flying Tiger City is within our grasp. I'll stay here to clean up the mess, you hurry out of the city to meet up with Lan Mengdie and let your men enter the city."

Yang Sijie hummed in agreement, and then Liu Lang had Yang Sijie change into a set of ordinary soldier's clothes, and ordered his personal guards to escort Yang Sijie out of the city.

At this moment, Liu Lang entered the room and saw Sha Baofei lying dead in a pool of blood. He then came out and saw his concubine lying in the blood, and couldn't help but sigh, "I wanted to give Sha Baofei a green hat, but Fourth Sister ruined it."

After Yang Sijie returned to the camp, she saw the anxious Lan Mengdie and smiled, "Sister-in-law, look, I'm back."

Lan Mengdie was both surprised and delighted to see Yang Sijie return. She stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "Mengluo, you scared me to death! I heard you were captured by the enemy, and I really wanted to..." "The order is to attack the city, but we don't have any ladders, so we can't do anything!"

Yang Sijie said, "The enemy general who captured me was actually Liu Lang in disguise! And we've already killed Sha Baofei, while Liu Lang is currently clearing out the remaining forces in Feihu City."

Lan Mengdie quickly said, "Then let's hurry and help Liu Lang. I'll go and relay the order, and then we'll storm Feihu City."

Chapter Seven: The Frosty White Jade Bow

Lan Mengdie and Yang Sijie led their troops into Feihu City and joined forces with Liu Lang. After clearing out the soldiers in Feihu City, the three of them arrived at Sha Baofei's residence.

Liu Lang, holding Lan Mengdie's hand, asked, "Big Lan Lan, I truly admire you! When you heard I was in danger, you and Fourth Sister only brought this small force to rescue me!"

Lan Mengdie replied, "This is already our best effort! After Father learned of your accident, he repeatedly pleaded with the Emperor to send troops, but the Emperor claimed that the Liao Dynasty was eyeing Zijing Pass covetously and could not easily send troops, otherwise the Liao Dynasty would take advantage of the situation."

Liu Lang cursed, "That dog of an emperor! I went to Shanxi, even fought Cheng Shijie, all for him, and he actually stood by and watched me die! And then what happened?"

Fourth Sister Yang said, "Thanks to Lord Pan and Father jointly submitting a memorial to the Emperor... " The Emperor only agreed to send troops after understanding the necessity of the matter. Unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Wang Ze later told the Emperor that they might fall into a trap set by the Liao and Cheng Shijie. He suggested sending a small force to test the waters first, and the Emperor ultimately adopted his suggestion. "So Lan Mengdie and I petitioned the Emperor for permission to lead three thousand troops to attack Feihu City,"

Lan Mengdie said. "Although we knew we couldn't take Feihu City, Mengluo was determined to fight to the death. Every day, Mengluo would come to Feihu City to challenge them, and even killed three of Feihu City's generals. She was so worried about your safety that she was willing to risk her life to take Feihu City so she could find you!"

As she spoke, Lan Mengdie chuckled.

Yang Sijie slapped Lan Mengdie and said, "Don't laugh at me. You're the same way, thinking about Liulang every night and unable to sleep. Once, you even held my hand and touched your breasts, calling out 'Liulang, kiss me...'"

Lan Mengdie blushed upon hearing this.

Liulang laughed, "Is that so?"

Yang Sijie snorted and said, "Otherwise, how could I have concluded there was something going on between you two?"

Liulang smiled and unbuttoned Lan Mengdie's clothes, then reached inside and grasped one of her soft breasts, saying, "Big Lanlan, do you think about me every day? I'm right in front of you now, do you want me to make love to you now?" Lan Mengdie

said shyly, "No! Let's wait until tonight..."

Liulang said, "Sister-in-law and the others are trapped at Jietang Pass, waiting for me to rescue them. Let's hurry."

At this moment, Yang Sijie walked over, sat on the bed, and stared intently at Liulang and Lan Mengdie's intimacy.

At first, Lan Mengdie was infinitely shy, but under Liu Lang's caresses, she slowly became wild. Moreover, she hadn't been intimate with Liu Lang for so long, and the physical desire that came over her was incredibly strong...

Liu Lang's movements intertwined gentleness and wildness, sometimes fast and sometimes slow thrusting, which satisfied Lan Mengdie. One of her hands tightly gripped the beams of the headboard, and the other hand was tightly clasped with Yang Sijie's hand. Her eyes were filled with shyness as she said, "Mengluo! Don't look, I can't take it anymore, please..."

Lan Mengdie cried out in a dizzy spell, and as her body trembled violently, she pulled hard, and the beams of the headboard creaked. Then, a landscape painting behind the bed rolled up automatically, and a wooden door covered in brass appeared in front of her. It was a secret door to a secret room.

Yang Sijie was immediately stunned, her eyes widening in shock. Liu Lang stopped what he was doing, and Lan Mengdie, disregarding her post-orgasm fatigue, all three looked towards the door.

At that moment, Liu Lang pushed open the door and found a hidden chamber inside. Surprisingly, it was bathed in sunlight, indicating excellent ventilation and design. Several large, locked chests were visible, likely containing Sha Baofei's savings. Liu Lang then invited

Yang Sijie and Lan Mengdie inside. Upon entering, their faces flushed crimson. The walls were covered with writing and illustrations; the writing was one thing, but the illustrations depicted erotic scenes of men and women in the throes of passion.

Liu Lang smiled slightly and said to Yang Sijie and Lan Mengdie, "This Sha Baofei really knows how to enjoy life. Look at the paintings on the wall and all that gold and silver jewelry in the room. We're not only broadening our horizons but also making a fortune!"

Yang Sijie pointed to a crystal ball slightly larger than a bowl on the table in the center of the secret room and asked, "What is that?"

Liu Lang exclaimed "Eek!" and stepped forward, randomly pressing on the crystal ball. Suddenly, he pressed something and heard a clicking sound. The winch turned, activating the mechanism under the crystal ball. This, combined with the soft light reflected from the stone wall, created a fascinating effect. Then, the erotic paintings came to life. The men and women in the paintings were having intercourse, and their various postures, positions, figures, angles, and even facial expressions were all clearly visible. Moreover, different angles and varying light intensities resulted in different intercourse postures, truly ever-changing!

The three men stared wide-eyed at the erotic paintings covering the wall. The men and women depicted were relaxed, their strokes vivid and lifelike, their movements incredibly realistic. They even emitted sounds of pleasure during intercourse, their voices soft and alluring, their passion boundless, their lovemaking intense and tireless.

The three men blushed deeply, their minds racing.

As Yang Sijie turned away shyly, she suddenly noticed an unparalleled divine bow. Its shaft was longer and thicker than ordinary bows, gleaming with a dazzling silver light.

Yang Sijie walked to the bow and took it down. She could feel its weight. Suddenly, she noticed a line of seal script characters engraved on the bow. Yang Sijie recognized three of the characters and murmured, "Heaven... White... Jade... Could this be the Heavenly Cold White Jade Bow? That's my master's bow!"

Saying this, Yang Sijie jumped up like a child, holding the Heavenly Cold White Jade Bow above her head and exclaiming, "This should be my master's bow!"

Liu Lang asked curiously, "What happened?"

Yang Sijie said, "I don't know either. Anyway, before my master passed away, this bow was no longer in his possession... But why this bow is here, I don't know. But I finally have a peerless divine bow, all thanks to Mengdie!"

Lan Mengdie blushed and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Yang Sijie laughed, "If you hadn't been so reckless and accidentally triggered the mechanism, how would we have known about this secret chamber!"

Liu Lang laughed, "Fourth Sister, with this divine bow, you're like a tiger with wings! It seems we're sure to win this battle against Cheng Shijie!"

Yang Si Jie couldn't hide her joy. She hugged Lan Mengdie and said, "Mengdie, you're so adorable! I love you to death!"

With that, Yang Si Jie kissed Lan Mengdie's cheek.

Lan Mengdie blushed, unsure what to say.

Seeing Lan Mengdie's face turn even redder, Liu Lang stepped forward and hugged her, saying, "It's rare to see Fourth Sister so happy. I want to thank you on her behalf. Look at these pictures; we haven't tried many of the poses yet. Today is a good day to learn!"

With that, Liu Lang pushed Lan Mengdie down onto the soft carpet…

When they emerged from the secret room, although Liu Lang and the other two were exhausted, they were overjoyed because they had obtained the Heavenly Cold Jade Bow and a lot of silver.

At dinner, Liu Lang spoke of important business to Yang Si Jie and Lan Mengdie: "I must return to Woniu Pass tonight."

Yang Si Jie and Lan Mengdie both expressed their desire to go with him.

Liu Lang said, "If you all come with me to Woniu Pass, who will guard Feihu City? The situation here is not stable yet. If we can't hold it, we still won't be able to come back."

Lan Mengdie whispered, "Then let Mengluo guard Feihu City. I'll go with you."

Yang Sijie said, "Mengdie, don't argue. I'm not as good as you in bed, but you're not as good as me on the battlefield! You should stay here and learn those bedroom skills in the secret room! When Liu Lang comes back, you can serve him."

Hearing this, Lan Mengdie angrily started fighting with Yang Sijie.

Seeing this, Liu Lang separated Yang Sijie and Lan Mengdie, saying, "Stop fighting. This matter can't be delayed. I think Sijie should come with me, and you should stay here to guard Feihu City and tell your father at Waqiao Pass about the situation here."

Hearing this, Lan Mengdie had no choice but to agree, and repeatedly told Liu Lang and Yang Sijie to be careful, and then saw them off.

Liu Lang and Yang Sijie led the thousand light cavalrymen and rushed back to Woniu Pass overnight.

When Liu Lang and his companion arrived at Woniu Pass, it was just dawn. Liu Lang called for the crowd to open the city gates, and soon Zhang Huiru, Lan Liu, and Murong Feixue came out to greet them.

Murong Feixue immediately spotted Yang Sijie beside Liu Lang, and was filled with both joy and shame. She took Yang Sijie's hand and said, "Fourth Sister, you've come."

Yang Sijie noticed the somewhat strange expression on Murong Feixue's face, but she couldn't guess what Murong Feixue was thinking. However, because they hadn't seen each other for so long, she was excited and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so glad to see you! How have you been these days?"

Murong Feixue's eyes were filled with tears as she nodded and smiled, "Mengluo, I've missed you too. Come on! Let's go inside and talk."

(4) When Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu greeted Yang Sijie with smiles, Zhang Huiru, thinking herself clever, stepped forward and said, "You must be Liulang's sister? You're so beautiful, I'm so jealous!"

Yang Sijie glanced at Zhang Huiru, her face darkening, and said, "I'm not Liulang's sister. Who are you?"

Before Zhang Huiru could answer, Liulang hurriedly said, "Fourth Sister, they are two generals from Woniu Pass. They have now surrendered to our side..."

Murong Feixue, quick-witted as ever, immediately pulled Yang Sijie away, saying, "Fourth Sister, I missed you so much! Tell me about the situation at home."

Seeing Murong Feixue pulling Yang Sijie away, Liulang even... He hurriedly said to Zhang Huiru and Lanliu, "She is my fourth sister. You two mustn't be disrespectful. If you displease her, she might make me abandon you."

Zhang Huiru exclaimed in surprise, "Sixth Master, is your sister that formidable? Even you are afraid of her?"

Lanliu said dreamily, "Sixth Master, your sister is so beautiful that I am ashamed of myself. If only I could look like your sister!"

Sixth Master added, "From now on, you two should speak less and act according to my signals. If things go wrong, my sister will be angry, and you'll be finished!"

Zhang Huiru looked a little frightened upon hearing this and followed Sixth Master to the mansion.

After discussing with everyone for a while, Sixth Master decided to march on Jietang Pass today. Then, Murong Feixue, following Sixth Master's arrangement, reappointed the military commanders of Woniu Pass and assigned trustworthy people to important positions.

Murong Feixue counted 30,000 troops as fresh strength and ordered them to prepare for battle. Then, Liu Lang took 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver from the treasury, distributed it equally among the troops, and promised a greater reward after defeating Cheng Shijie.

At this moment, Chen Zhong approached Liu Lang alone and said, "General Qin, you are currently lacking a general, and I have two sisters who are quite capable. Would you consider joining me in battle?"

Liu Lang was overjoyed and said, "You have two sisters who want to go to the battlefield? Then bring them here quickly."

Chen Zhong obeyed and went out to fetch his sisters.

Murong Feixue, seeing Liu Lang's lecherous gaze, said, "Liu Lang, are you eyeing my sisters? But Mengluo is here; you'd better restrain yourself."

Liu Lang smiled wickedly and remained silent. Soon, Chen Zhong led in two burly female generals clad in iron armor. At first glance, it was impossible to tell if they were men or women. If Chen Zhong hadn't introduced them as his sisters, Liu Lang would have had no idea they were women.

Chen Zhong's eldest sister was nine feet tall, with a face as hard as iron. Not only

was she broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, but her large V-shaped feet were also comparable to those of a strong man, making Liu Lang dizzy. Chen Zhong's younger sister, on the other hand, looked more like a woman, but she was eight feet tall and had a robust build. Her slightly dark face was somewhat attractive, but the mustache around her lips made Liu Lang want to vomit his dinner from the night before. Murong Feixue even giggled to herself beside her.

Yang Sijie, unaware of the situation, stepped forward to look at Chen Zhong's two sisters, then patted them on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, indeed they are both capable generals who can charge into battle. Liu Lang, just agree—" Liu Lang nodded, bestowed official titles upon Chen Zhong's two sisters, and rewarded each of them with five hundred taels of silver. He thought to himself: They are perfect for introducing to Meng Liangjiao and Zan; the four of them are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful!

At noon, after everyone finished lunch, as prepared beforehand, each person was given a white towel to wrap around their arm to avoid confusion during the melee. Then, Liu Lang ordered the army to set off for Jietang Pass.

Along the way, Liu Lang marched at a rapid pace, arriving ten li outside the east gate of Jietang Pass around midnight. Seeing a hill ahead, Liu Lang ordered the army to halt and await further orders. He then summoned his generals and assigned tasks. Liu Lang ordered Long Qiuping, Xue Hu Seng, and Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu to each lead two thousand infantrymen to ambush at the foot of the hill, ready to launch a surprise attack on Cheng Shijie's camp at his command.

Liu Lang ordered Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu to each lead two thousand cavalrymen to the left and right flanks, while Chen Zhong, Chen Ganshun, and Chen Zhong's elder and younger sisters led three thousand archers and three thousand infantrymen to provide support from all sides. He, Yang Sijie, and Murong Feixue led the central army as the main force.

After everything was arranged, Liu Lang ordered everyone to prepare, waiting for his signal to engage Cheng Shijie in a decisive battle!

Murong Feixue asked, "Liu Lang, when do we give the signal?"

Liu Lang replied, "After midnight, listen to my command."

Yang Sijie said, "Liu Lang, come with me. We'll go to the hilltop to observe Cheng Shijie's deployment."

Liu Lang followed Yang Sijie to the hilltop, overlooking Cheng Shijie's army outside the eastern city of Jietang Pass. He saw approximately 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, and Jietang Pass was likely already under artillery fire; the situation was not optimistic.

Yang Sijie asked, "Liu Lang, are those two women at Woniu Pass your women?"

Liu Lang exclaimed in surprise, "Of course not! How could you think that?"

Yang Sijie said angrily, "You're still lying to me! Just look at their seductive faces; I know they're not decent women. You should avoid associating with them in the future."

Liu Lang embraced Yang Si Jie's slender waist and said, "Si Jie, as long as you're by my side, I won't think about any other woman. There are countless beautiful women in the world, but I only love you! Si Jie... I miss you now."

As he spoke, Liu Lang's hard lower body pressed against Yang Si Jie's soft body.

Yang Si Jie slapped Liu Lang in that spot and said, "Be serious, a great battle is about to break out, and you're still thinking about this kind of thing?"

Liu Lang shamelessly stroked Yang Si Jie's hair and said, "Si Jie, it's better when you're not here, but when you're by my side, I think about you every moment. I can't live without you!"

Yang Si Jie's heart trembled, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She looked up and asked, "Liu Lang, is it true?"

Liu Lang looked at Yang Si Jie's shy appearance and was captivated! Looking at Yang Si Jie in the moonlight, he felt that she was more charming than usual. Her slightly upturned eyes, her small red lips, her bright and charming beauty, and her pure and dignified demeanor—these two completely different qualities were all present in Yang Si Jie, and they were seducing Liu Lang.

Liu Lang adored Yang Si Jie, describing her as both gentle and shy, yet bold and lively; as bright and charming, sometimes pure and dignified, sometimes innocent and carefree, sometimes clever and witty, her words always meaningful.

Gazing at the unparalleled beauty of Yang Si Jie, Liu Lang couldn't resist wrapping his right arm around her and pulling her into his embrace.

Yang Si Jie let out a soft moan, nestling against Liu Lang like a little bird. Her fiery body, her beautiful face—her breath as fragrant as orchids—dazzled Liu Lang, causing him to become infatuated. His arms tightened involuntarily, pressing Yang Si Jie's delicate body tightly against his.

Liu Lang looked down at Yang Si Jie, whom he was holding tightly, breathing heavily. Her expression was languid, her starry eyes half-open, and even a single glance or a slight smile possessed a captivating magic, making him willingly fall at her feet. The more Liu Lang looked at Yang Si Jie, the more he loved her. His heart warmed, and seeing her luscious red lips, he couldn't resist the urge to kiss them.

Yang Si Jie softly called out, "Liu Lang!"

Hearing this, the desire hidden within Liu Lang was ignited, making him unable to control himself any longer. He kissed her lips, his arms holding Yang Si Jie tightly like iron hoops, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.

Their brief reunion in Flying Tiger City did not lessen Yang Si Jie's longing for Liu Lang; she loved him dearly too. Her jade-like arms embraced Liu Lang, her body pressed against his, unwilling to let go. After a long silence, Yang Sijie brushed her wind-blown hair from her forehead and asked, "Sixth Brother, Cheng Shijie is so powerful, what are your chances of winning?"

Sixth Brother replied, "I don't know. Cheng Shijie has 200,000 troops surrounding Jietang Pass, while Jietang Pass only has 20,000 soldiers plus the 30,000 here. We are far outnumbered by Cheng Shijie's forces, but we are in the shadows and can attack from both sides. We can definitely catch him off guard. Even if we can't win, we should fight to the death. After all, these are his troops. I'll use his troops against his troops. Every one who dies is one less. At worst, we can retreat. Anyway, we can now safely return to Waqiao Pass."

Yang Sijie couldn't help but kiss Sixth Brother's lips and said, "Sixth Brother, you're so naughty. Treating Cheng Shijie like this, he must hate you to death!"

Sixth Brother hugged Yang Sijie tightly, enjoying the taste of their intimate contact.

Yang Sijie shifted slightly, and said softly, "Liu Lang, do you want it again?"

Liu Lang hadn't expected Yang Sijie to be so direct and bold, but her tender eyes made her seem like a young woman longing for her lover's return day and night—so alluring and pitiful. He blurted out, "Sijie, I wish I could have you right now!"

At that moment, Yang Sijie nestled in Liu Lang's arms, intoxicated by his masculine scent, and thus disregarded his crude words, saying, "Liu Lang, are you really sure? It's not convenient here!"

As she spoke, Yang Sijie looked around, her face flushed, whether from excitement or shyness, making her look radiant.

Liu Lang could no longer control his urges; he only wanted to kiss Yang Sijie to quell his burning desire. Unexpectedly, Yang Sijie slid down, unbuckled Liu Lang's belt, and then took his penis into her mouth.

After a suffocating wave of pleasure, Liu Lang couldn't help but release all his essence into Yang Si Jie's mouth, his voice trembling as he said, "Si Jie, I love you."

Yang Si Jie wiped her lips, stood up, and threw herself into Liu Lang's arms, asking shyly, "Liu Lang, was it good?"

Liu Lang remained silent, holding Yang Si Jie tightly. Just as he was about to take things further, he suddenly noticed Murong Fei Xue standing behind the tree. Judging from her surprised expression, Liu Lang guessed that she had seen what had just happened.

Seeing that Liu Lang's expression was strange, Yang Si Jie turned her head and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Murong Feixue approached Liu Lang and Mengluo, her expression pained, her delicate brows furrowed. "Liulang, Mengluo, you shouldn't have done this!" she said.

Seeing that Murong Feixue knew about his affair with Yang Sijie, Liu Lang decided to stop hiding it. Since the truth would eventually come out, he told Murong Feixue the fantastical story…

Murong Feixue looked even more astonished, staring at Liu Lang and Yang Sijie with suspicion.

Yang Sijie blushed deeply, feeling utterly ashamed that her sister-in-law had witnessed her earlier disgraceful behavior. Fortunately, although she was strong-willed, she was also cheerful; otherwise, she would have surely committed suicide.

At that moment, Liu Lang thought: Since things have come to this, the best solution is to also tell Sijie about my affair with my sister-in-law. That way, she won't feel embarrassed! Thinking of this, Liu Lang embraced Murong Feixue's slender waist and said, "Sister-in-law, since things have come to this, let's not hide it anymore! You are both women I cannot live without. I cannot survive without either of you."

Murong Feixue blushed with embarrassment, and Yang Sijie was even more astonished, asking in a trembling voice, "Liu Lang, you want my sister-in-law too?"

Liu Lang sighed, "At the Seven Star Tower, if it weren't for my sister-in-law, I probably wouldn't be alive! Sijie, my sister-in-law is so loyal and devoted to me. I could never repay her even with my life. Can't you accept her?"

Yang Sijie said, "Since my sister-in-law came to the Yang family, she's been like my own sister. How could I not accept her? It's just... the things to come... sigh! They're all so complicated."

Liu Lang, with one in each arm, sat down with Murong Feixue and Yang Sijie in his arms, and said: "The world is ever-changing, unpredictable. Even I don't know why I'm here. But since we're here, let's make the best of it! Tonight's battle with Cheng Shijie is uncertain, but it will surely be a bloody battle. Our fates are even more uncertain. Let's not think about these troublesome things for now. It's the second watch now. Seeing that the lights in Cheng Shijie's camp are still on, let's wait another hour until they're sound asleep, then we'll charge down the mountain in one fell swoop. I believe Cheng Shijie would never dream that a divine army would appear before him..."

With two beauties in his arms, Liu Lang felt refreshed and happy. They were both women who held important places in his heart. Now, with a great battle imminent, he could still have them on both sides. Moreover, recalling Murong Feixue's gentleness and Yang Sijie's elegance, Liu Lang was excited to have them.

The three of them, Liu Lang and Murong Feixue, made the most of the hour before the great battle. Liu Lang especially took care of Murong Feixue and Yang Sijie, even sending his essence twice. Afterwards, the two of them used some time to digest the energy. At this moment, the third watch gong sounded from Cheng Shijie's camp.

Liu Lang straightened his clothes and saw that Murong Feixue and Yang Sijie were already ready to go. He nodded to them, and the three of them went to the foot of the hill.

Liu Lang drew his sword and looked at Cheng Shijie's camp. He saw only scattered lights, indicating that they were already asleep. The remaining clouds blocked the moon, making visibility increasingly low. He then waved his hand.

Seeing this, Murong Feixue lit a signal flare, and a flame instantly lit up the night sky. Then Liu Lang raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, the time to make our mark has come! Kill!"

With the sound of war drums, Blood-Bard Monk, Xuanyuan Shenghu, and Long Qiuping led their troops towards the enemy camp.

Caught completely off guard, Cheng Shijie's army was overwhelmed when Liu Lang's men charged in and immediately seized the camp gates. Xuanyuan Shenghu brandished his one-horned bronze figure, instantly tearing down a tent. His men, wielding broadswords, rushed forward, hacking and slashing at the unarmed soldiers, leaving a river of blood.

Cheng Shijie's army fought desperately, but Liu Lang's offensive was too fierce. Xuanyuan Shenghu, Long Qiuping, and Blood-Bard Monk were ruthless killers, their lives emboldened by the hefty reward.

Seeing Cheng Shijie's army fall, Liu Lang cheered loudly.

At this moment, there was also movement inside Jietang Pass. The city gates opened wide, and a group of soldiers charged out. Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, Yue Sheng, and Zhou rushed to the left; Miao Xueyan, Zhang Huiqing, and Zhang Lühua rushed to the right; Bai Yunfei, Bai Xuefei, Zi Ruoer, and Rentang Hui attacked the center. Ten thousand soldiers surged towards the enemy camp like a tide, and the two sides clashed in close combat, resulting in a chaotic melee.

Chapter Eight: The Peak Showdown

at Santai Pass. Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu, mounted on their horses, anxiously asked, "Sixth Master, isn't it our turn yet?"

Sixth Master replied, "What's the rush? Cheng Shijie hasn't moved yet. We'll be responsible for attacking the troops reinforcing the Eastern Camp."

Murong Feixue looked at the current situation and saw that the three groups of soldiers led by Xue Hu Seng, Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu, and Long Qiuping, plus the troops that had charged out from Jietang Pass, were enough to defeat Cheng Shijie's troops stationed at the Eastern Camp.

Just then, the sound of horn cannons boomed in the distance, followed by deafening battle cries. Clearly, Cheng Shijie had discovered the dire situation at the Eastern Camp and sent reinforcements.

Liu Lang said to Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu, "It's your turn!"

Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu obeyed, each leading their cavalry to attack the reinforcements. Liu Lang then ordered Chen Zhong, his elder and younger sisters, and Chen Ganshun to lead archers and rattan-armored soldiers to follow and provide cover for the advancing cavalry.

At this moment, Yang Sijie mounted her horse, carrying a white jade bow and thirty-two black-feathered wolf-tooth arrows, and wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword. She said to Liu Lang, "Liu Lang, you and sister-in-law, charge forward and kill the enemy! I'll provide support! Brothers! Kill..."

With that, Yang Sijie spurred her horse forward.

Liu Lang glanced at Yang Sijie's unparalleled heroism, filled with admiration, and then, sword in hand, led his army in a surprise attack.

The two armies engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat outside Jietang Pass, suffering heavy casualties on both sides. After the fierce battle, the battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood. Cheng Shijie's troops stationed at the eastern camp were almost completely wiped out. However, Liu Lang's 30,000 elite soldiers brought from Woniu Pass also suffered heavy losses. Nevertheless, after joining forces with the soldiers who had fought their way out of the city, their morale soared, and they launched a counterattack against Cheng Shijie's army.

The forces of Xue Hu Seng, Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu, and Long Qiu Ping each lost nearly half their men. Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu's forces suffered the most severe losses, reduced to only five or six hundred men. However, under Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu's command, these men fought with increasing ferocity, and his single-horned bronze figure relentlessly smashed down, leaving Cheng Shijie's men either falling or being killed, forced to flee in all directions.

Just as Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu was gaining momentum, he encountered Cheng Shijie's main army.

Cheng Shijie recognized Xuan Yuanshenghu, knowing he was Qin Dongyang's subordinate. Seeing him brutally attacking his soldiers with the unicorn bronze figure, Cheng Shijie roared, "Xuan Yuanshenghu, you bastard! How could you betray me for no reason?"

Previously, when Cheng Shijie heard of Qin Dongyang's betrayal and his subsequent attack, he had found it laughable—after all, how could his brother-in-law possibly betray him? However, seeing Qin Dongyang's fierce general attacking his men now made Cheng Shijie uneasy. He began to believe Qin Dongyang had betrayed him; otherwise, why would so many troops suddenly appear?

Thinking of the tragic deaths of his two sons and Su Ji's betrayal, Cheng Shijie was consumed by rage, gritting his teeth as he lunged at Xuan Yuanshenghu.

Cheng Shijie clearly hated those who betrayed him to the core. He wielded a four-foot-long greatsword, its blade gleaming and slightly wide. With a single thrust, the sword light intensified, like the blazing sun emerging from the sea of clouds. In an instant, golden light spread across the earth, radiating countless rays of brilliance. Vast and unparalleled sword energy filled the heavens and earth, as if every inch of space was permeated with sky-ripping sword energy.

When the soldiers around Xuan Yuanshenghu rushed forward, they felt as if they were naked beneath a thousand swords, chilling them to the bone. Meanwhile, the sword flowers erupting from the tip of Cheng Shijie's greatsword surged forth like ten thousand golden snakes and shimmering waves, unleashing countless sword lights that swept in all directions. A large number of corpses immediately fell around him.

Seeing Cheng Shijie kill dozens of his men, Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu was enraged. He picked up the bronze unicorn and hurled it at Cheng Shijie, but his strength was brute force; his martial arts skills were far inferior to Cheng Shijie's. He relied solely on ruthlessness, yet he managed to force Cheng Shijie back several steps.

After regaining his footing, Cheng Shijie roared! Suddenly, a thunderous sound, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, erupted from the sword circle. Thousands of sword shadows, like shattered stars and a broken moon, scattered countless cold glints, carrying a chilling, powerful sword aura, shooting furiously in all directions. Wherever the sword light passed, nothing was spared.

Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu hadn't expected Cheng Shijie to be so powerful. His series of attacks had reached an earth-shattering, awe-inspiring level, leaving him riddled with countless sword strikes, the tips of which were pierced by Cheng Shijie's profound internal energy. Without a sound, Xuanyuan Shenghu was instantly reduced to a shower of blood, his body vanishing without a trace. The unicorn bronze man fell from mid-air, his clothes stained with blood…

The remaining soldiers immediately collapsed.

Seeing this, Cheng Shijie shouted, “Kill!” Infantry led the way, followed by archers and rattan armor soldiers, while cavalry flanked them. They quickly surrounded Xuanyuan Shenghu’s four hundred soldiers, annihilating them in no time.

The Blood-Bearing Monk and Long Qiuping’s forces were charging towards them, but seeing Cheng Shijie’s army with its fluttering banners and overwhelming numbers, coupled with the fact that it was dawn and the sky was still dark, they could only choose to fight and retreat.

A moment later, the Blood Monk and Long Qiuping's men retreated to the edge of a grove of trees. Just then, Long Qiuping heard a voice: "Mr. Long, come quickly!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Chen Zhong, who was there with archers in an ambush. Long Qiuping quickly led his men into the woods.

At this moment, Cheng Shijie's cavalry caught up. Because of the dense grass and forest, they fired arrows towards the light. After a volley of arrows, the cavalry charged.

Seeing this, Chen Zhong ordered, "Fire!"

Arrows rained down, causing Cheng Shijie's army to fall and suffer heavy casualties. However, the archers and soldiers in rattan armor following behind the cavalry immediately moved forward, and a fierce exchange of fire ensued. Because Chen Zhong and his men were hidden in the woods, occupying a favorable position, Cheng Shijie's forces, despite their superior numbers, couldn't gain a significant advantage. Therefore, Master Wen summoned fire crossbowmen and ordered them to fire fire arrows into the woods.

Arrows, their tips blazing, shot into the forest. Though they might not hit Chen Zhong's men, the forest burst into flames, making it impossible for them to hide.

The fire, fanned by the wind, quickly raged, sparks shooting into the sky and illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, allowing Cheng Shijie's army to pinpoint Chen Zhong's location at a glance.

However, by the time Cheng Shijie's army charged into the forest, Chen Zhong had already led his men some distance away. Another group of cavalry had already formed an encirclement outside the forest. The pursuers inside the forest advanced while firing arrows, not in a hurry to engage in close combat, but simply continuing to fire arrows, causing heavy casualties among Chen Zhong's men. They were waiting for Chen Zhong's men to retreat from the forest so they could join the encircling cavalry to annihilate them.

Chen Zhong had a total of two thousand men, and even with Xue Hu Seng and Long Qiuping's men, they only had four thousand men. Facing Cheng Shijie's army of nearly one hundred thousand, they were simply no match for them. In addition, there was no natural defense in the forest, so they could only fight and retreat. Moreover, there were pursuers surrounding them outside the forest, putting them in a predicament where they could neither advance nor retreat. To make matters worse, the pursuers kept firing arrows, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Chen Zhong's men were hit by arrows, which slowed their movement even more.

At this moment, Chen Zhong said to his two younger sisters, "The situation is very dire. We have no way to escape, and it's almost dawn. This forest is about to be burned down, but why hasn't General Qin come to our aid yet?"

The Blood-Red Monk looked fearful and said, "Didn't General Qin say that besides us, there were reinforcements from Datong, Yanmen Pass, and Daima Pass? Why haven't we seen them? I think it's just us soldiers from Woniu Pass fighting. Even the troops that fought out of Jietang Pass, after their great victory outside the East Gate, haven't come over..."

At this moment, Cheng Shijie's infantry began an even more ferocious attack, and Chen Zhong's arrows had run out. Suddenly, a wolf-tooth arrow shot over, hitting Chen Zhong's shoulder blade and penetrating deep into his skin through the gaps in his armor. After a sharp pain, Chen Zhong staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his eldest sister grabbed him and pulled him into the defensive circle.

At this moment, the troops, temporarily deprived of Chen Zhong's command, moved even slower. Cheng Shijie's men continued their barrage of arrows, each arrow whistling through the air, igniting flames as it struck tree trunks. Some arrows also struck Chen Zhong's position, even hitting the Blood-Red Monk in the leg. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he pondered his next move. Suddenly, he ran towards Cheng Shijie, shouting, "My lord, I surrender!"

Cheng Shijie, still furious, saw that Chen Zhong's few thousand soldiers were holding back his 100,000-strong army. He waved his hand and ordered, "Shoot them!"

Instantly, arrows rained down on the Blood-Red Monk. He desperately dodged the arrows, but was still struck several times, his movements becoming increasingly slow until he was riddled with arrows like a hedgehog.

Meanwhile, Cheng Shijie's cavalry on both flanks had encircled Chen Zhong's troops, and they faced imminent annihilation.

Seeing that Chen Zhong's troops were about to be annihilated, Cheng Shijie felt a sense of relief. Just as he was about to command his army to attack, he sensed a great commotion behind him. He discovered that a light cavalry force had launched a surprise attack from behind, instantly throwing his army into chaos. Cheng Shijie hurriedly ordered his army to attack from the rear, only to be shocked to find that the female general leading the attack was none other than Murong Feixue.

More than a month ago, Cheng Shijie had fought Murong Feixue at Honghua Pavilion and knew that she was no match for him. He coldly snorted and drew his sword to meet her.

After leading his army to annihilate Cheng Shijie's troops outside the East City, Liu Lang discovered that Cheng Shijie was bringing a large army to his aid. Seeing that Cheng Shijie had many soldiers and generals, Liu Lang knew that he could not fight head-on and could only outsmart them. He ordered Xuan Yuan Shenghu, Xue Hu Seng, and Long Qiuping to attack, and ordered Chen Zhong to cover them. Then he joined up with the troops coming out of Jietang Pass.

When the soldiers at Jietang Pass saw that Liu Lang was still wearing Qin Dongyang's human skin mask, they were all very surprised. After Liu Lang removed the mask and explained the situation, they all praised him for his resourcefulness.

Liu Lang ordered Meng Liang and Jiao Zan to lead a group of men to confuse Cheng Shijie's troops, while the rest of the men entered Jietang Pass and circled around to the south gate. When Cheng Shijie led his main army in pursuit, they would then flank Cheng Shijie from behind.

Although Cheng Shijie had a large army, once attacked from both sides, their formation would be disrupted, and they would lose the upper hand. Moreover, Liu Lang's female generals were all highly skilled in martial arts, especially Miao Xueyan, Zi Ruoer, and Lan Liu, who had an irreconcilable hatred for Cheng Shijie. Now that they finally had a chance to avenge themselves, they charged forward like madmen upon seeing Cheng Shijie's soldiers.

Fearing that Zi Ruoer and the others might be in danger, Liu Lang ordered Yang Sijie to look after their safety. Yang Sijie saw Liu Lang's worry and, although somewhat jealous, decided to keep an eye on their safety given the imminent danger.

Yang Sijie, mounted on her horse and wielding the Heavenly Cold White Jade Bow, would shoot an arrow at any enemy general in danger, instantly felling from their horse.

Among the female generals, Zhang Huiru was the weakest in martial arts, unable to defeat even one of them. However, eager to impress Liu Lang, she charged to the front, repeatedly encountering danger. To save her, Yang Sijie shot and killed four enemy generals. Finally, unable to bear the sight, Yang Sijie spurred her horse forward, wielding her three-pointed double-edged sword in a flurry of blows to rescue Zhang Huiru.

Zhang Huiru wiped her sweat and smiled, "Sister, it's all thanks to you!"

Yang Sijie ignored Zhang Huiru and spurred her horse forward, encountering Zi Ruo'er and Miao Xueyan locked in a fierce battle with Wen Tianshi. Wen Tianshi's martial arts were far superior to the two women's. Seeing them struggling, Liu Lang rushed to their aid, with Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei also assisting, leaving Wen Tianshi in dire straits.

When Cheng Shijie clashed with Murong Feixue, he was astonished to find that Murong Feixue's martial arts had improved dramatically in just three days. Her mastery of the "Heavenly Lightning Net" technique was particularly impressive, making it impossible for Cheng Shijie's men to intervene. The two fought sword to sword, and after a fierce battle, neither gained the upper hand.

Enraged, Cheng Shijie switched to using the "Hundred Wolves Attack the Cave" technique, attacking Murong Feixue relentlessly despite the presence of his own men. Murong Feixue countered with the "Beacon Fire and Thunder Formation."

Murong Feixue sneered, and her three-foot-long Green Peak Sword seemed to come alive, multiplying in number: one to two, two to four, four to eight. In the blink of an eye, the sword light transformed into countless rays of light, piercing through the surrounding dark clouds from all directions, severing thousands of howling wolf heads, and heading straight for Cheng Shijie. Even before the sword arrived, the wind howled, numbing and numbing the hands and feet, rendering them unable to move freely.

Faced with Murong Feixue's unpredictable and cunning swordsmanship, Cheng Shijie shouted, "Six Ding Six Jia Paramita!"

Instantly, numerous figures appeared before Cheng Shijie, as if he had created a clone technique. Seven burly, golden-armored gods surrounded him and pounced on Murong Feixue. At the same time, Cheng Shijie unleashed fourteen Six Ding Six Jia talismans, hoping to end Murong Feixue's life with a single blow.

Murong Feixue had no experience fighting against Qimen warriors and didn't know how to break through the Seven Star Armor. She simply gritted her teeth, brandished her three-foot-long Green Peak Sword, and charged towards Cheng Shijie.

Seeing Murong Feixue fighting Cheng Shijie from afar, Bai Yunfei cried out, "Sister-in-law, be careful of his talismans!"

However, Bai Yunfei and Murong Feixue were far apart. Although Murong Feixue heard Bai Yunfei's cry, she had no time to react and was instantly trapped by the Seven Star Armor. Murong Feixue managed to deflect ten of the fourteen Six Ding Six Jia talismans, but the rest struck her. Although Murong Feixue's skill had improved, it was difficult for her to control her body, which was now under Cheng Shijie's control, so her situation was extremely dangerous.

Seeing Murong Feixue in danger, Liu Lang hurriedly used the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique to open a path and then flew towards Cheng Shijie.

Seeing that Murong Feixue was hit by the Six Ding Six Jia talismans, Cheng Shijie wanted to finish the fight quickly. He wielded his giant sword, and with a tremor, the sword light surged, pouring down like a waterfall, like a raging torrent, an overwhelming attack on Murong Feixue.

Murong Feixue felt a wave of dizziness and almost dropped her sword. She knew she had to break free from Cheng Shijie's control over the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, otherwise she would definitely not be able to withstand Cheng Shijie's attack.

Just as Murong Feixue was in danger, she heard someone shout, "Traitor! Don't hurt my sister-in-law!"

The voice was clear and loud, and a silver lightning-fast steed soared into the air. On the horse, a valiant female general held a Heavenly Cold White Jade Bow, and six black-feathered wolf-tooth arrows shot towards Cheng Shijie after the bowstring twanged.

The six black-feathered wolf-tooth arrows shot out along six different attack paths, each with varying speeds and powerful thrusts. Cheng Shijie desperately dodged, and with a crack, a golden-armored giant was pierced through by one of the arrows and shattered into thin air. Then, with

a series of whooshes, three more black-feathered wolf-tooth arrows smashed through the surrounding golden-armored giants, while the other two arrows pierced Cheng Shijie's throat and heart from above and below.

Cheng Shijie had never seen such formidable archery. In a panic, he swung his greatsword, deflecting one of the black-feathered wolf-tooth arrows, but another arrow pierced his shoulder, piercing his armor and pulling him backward, causing him to crash heavily to the ground.

Seeing that the sneak attack had succeeded, Yang Sijie immediately spurred her horse, brandishing her sword to cut off Cheng Shijie's head.

Cheng Shijie turned ashen-faced with fear. His female disciples, seeing him in danger, rushed to his rescue, brandishing their weapons. Yang Sijie, seeing this, charged forward, her blade flashing, decapitating two beautiful women in quick succession.

The female disciple named Luoyun, sword in hand, shielded Cheng Shijie, shouting, "My lord, run!"

Yang Sijie spurred her horse, thrusting her three-pointed double-edged sword forward. Luoyun blocked with her sword, and with a clang, Yang Sijie knocked Luoyun's sword to the ground; the three-pointed double-edged sword had already pierced through…

Liulang reached Yang Sijie, crying, "Fourth Sister, spare her!"

But it was too late. The sharp blade had already pierced Luoyun's chest, spurting blood.

Liulang sighed inwardly, lamenting the loss. After all, these beauties had shared intimate relationships with him; it was a pity they died like this. He recalled the scene of Yang Sijie killing Sha Baofei's concubine in Flying Tiger City, thinking: "Fourth Sister is truly cold-blooded towards beautiful women and enemies!" In the brief moment Liu Lang was stunned, two more female disciples fell to Yang Si Jie's blade.

At this moment, Cheng Shi Jie tried to escape, but Liu Lang, seeing this, shouted, "Cheng Shi Jie, where do you think you're going?"

With that, Liu Lang drew his sword and gave chase.

Cheng Shi Jie gritted his teeth and fought Liu Lang desperately. The two were evenly matched, but Cheng Shi Jie had been struck by an arrow from Yang Si Jie. Although the wound wasn't fatal, it reduced his attack power, and in just a few moves, Liu Lang forced him to retreat repeatedly. With

Cheng Shi Jie defeated, his men were thrown into chaos. Liu Lang pressed his advantage, determined to take Cheng Shi Jie down, so he pursued relentlessly. Although Liu Lang wasn't skilled in swordsmanship, he relied on his profound internal energy and immense strength. His sword, combined with the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique, moved like a whirlwind, cutting down Cheng Shi Jie's men and sending them fleeing in all directions. Cheng Shi Jie was forced to retreat repeatedly.

At this point, Wen Tian Shi had lost the will to fight and abandoned his female warriors, fleeing. Miao Xueyan had long harbored resentment, wanting to avenge herself on Cheng Shijie. Seeing Liu Lang chasing after Cheng Shijie, she... With a delicate cry, she pierced several soldiers surrounding her with her flying sword, then caught up with Liu Lang. Although Miao Xueyan's skill was inferior to Murong Feixue's, her swordsmanship was superior. Her long sword gleamed coldly, its light weaving into a net of light. Then, using the Flowing Cloud Step, she killed the soldiers blocking her way and arrived at Murong Feixue's side in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei also rushed over, anxiously asking, "Sister-in-law, how are you?"

Murong Feixue had been struck by Cheng Shijie's Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, leaving her weak all over. She gritted her teeth and persevered, but upon seeing Miao Xueyan and the others, she let out a soft gasp and collapsed into Bai Yunfei's arms.

Yang Sijie, wielding her three-pointed double-edged sword, was in high spirits as she fought. Cheng Shijie's female disciples, however, were all mediocre fighters, spending their days indulging in frivolous pursuits with Cheng Shijie and lacking any real combat experience. Having witnessed Yang Sijie kill their companions, they had all hardened their hearts to kill her in revenge, but they hadn't expected to be no match for her. By the time they realized they were no match for her, it was too late to escape!

Yang Sijie had long disliked these women, and coupled with her jealousy of Liu Lang these past few days, she channeled all her energy into her sword, slaughtering them in the blink of an eye, her three-pointed double-edged sword stained with crimson blood.

Seeing Liu Lang charging towards them, Cheng Shijie cursed, "Qin Dongyang, you bastard, you betrayed me!"

However, Cheng Shijie was already wounded, and seeing his entire army on the verge of annihilation, he stamped his feet, beat his chest, and cursed for a while before fleeing.

Seeing that Murong Feixue was unharmed, Miao Xueyan drew her sword and chased after Liu Lang. Zi Ruo'er, seeing this, also brandished her sword and gave chase. The two women fought side-by-side and soon caught up with Liu Lang. Cheng Shijie was only a hundred paces ahead.

Because Cheng Shijie was wounded by an arrow, he had no will to fight and fled under the protection of Wen Tianshi.

Liu Lang and his two companions charged forward desperately to kill Cheng Shijie, but despite their bravery, Cheng Shijie's army was too large to kill them all!

Miao Xueyan, tears welling in her eyes, swung her sword with all her might. Heads flew into the air, but it was not enough to vent her resentment. Seeing Cheng Shijie fleeing further and further away, and the army in front of her dwindling, Miao Xueyan, tears streaming down her face, angrily threw her sword to the ground. Zi Ruo'er also sighed, and both looked at Liu Lang.

Just as Liu Lang was about to go and comfort Miao Xueyan and Zi Ruo'er, he saw Yang Sijie riding up. Remembering Yang Sijie's ruthlessness in killing Cheng Shijie's woman, Liu Lang felt a chill and dared not go to comfort them.

To think that 40,000 men could annihilate 200,000 was a pipe dream. Liu Lang's victory was already extremely difficult, and the battle lasted until the afternoon.

Outside Jietang Pass, corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like rivers. Liu Lang and Cheng Shijie had deployed 250,000 troops, of whom approximately 80,000 died in the battle. Furthermore, scouts brought news that after Cheng Shijie's defeat at Santai Pass, he massacred the city, resulting in the deaths of over 10,000 civilians.

Looking at the blood-red setting sun, Liu Lang said, "War means bloodshed and sacrifice! Today, we fight for the world. Cheng Shijie is defying fate; he will not succeed!"

Back at Jietang Pass, Liu Lang took stock of his troops and learned that of the 30,000 soldiers he had brought from Woniu Pass, nearly 10,000 had been lost. Liu Lang reorganized his forces and, upon learning of the deaths of Xuan Yuan Shenghu, Xue Hu Seng, and others, erected a mourning hall to commemorate them. He then appointed Kou Zhun as general and Yue Sheng as deputy general, ordering them to guard Jietang Pass, closely monitor Cheng Shijie's movements, and simultaneously reorganize the troops and fortify the city's defenses.

After arranging these matters, Liu Lang was deeply troubled by the affairs of the women in his household. Previously, when fighting Cheng Shijie, they were able to coexist peacefully and show each other courtesy. However, now that it was over and Cheng Shijie had fled, Liu Lang looked at the dozen or so beautiful women in front of him, each with a different personality. Many of them were unaware of their relationships with him, but if he were to tell them all, he feared a bloody battle would ensue.

Seeing Liu Lang's preoccupation, Murong Feixue quietly asked, "Liu Lang, are you worried you can't handle these women?"

Murong Feixue's words struck a chord with Liu Lang, and he hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have any good ideas? You saw it yourself; when Fourth Sister killed Cheng Shijie's women, she didn't even blink. She can accept Yunfei, Xuefei, and you, but I… having so many women all at once, I'm afraid she can't handle it!"

Seeing no one around, Murong Feixue laughed, "Who told you to get involved in so many romantic entanglements? Now it's your turn to have a headache! I don't care!"

Liu Lang smiled bitterly, "Heaven is against me! In the sand..." "On the field, I wasn't afraid of Cheng Shijie's massive army, but I never imagined that a few mere women could leave me helpless..."

Murong Feixue said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it! Liu Lang, you caused this trouble yourself, so of course you have to clean it up yourself. No one else can help you. But I can tell you, if you feel that they can't coexist peacefully for the time being, you can separate them first and then find a way to resolve the issue."

These words were like a wake-up call, and Liu Lang happily said, "I understand, sister-in-law! It's all thanks to you! All these women require my attention, only you are my true confidante!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang hugged Murong Feixue and kissed her.

Murong Feixue blushed and said, "Don't go too far!"

Liu Lang chuckled and immediately ordered the army to rush back to Woniu Pass overnight.

Yang Sijie asked, "Sixth Brother, why don't we press our advantage and kill Cheng Shijie directly?"

Sixth Brother replied, "Although Cheng Shijie was defeated, it was due to momentary carelessness. Besides, he still has enough troops to annihilate us. Now Kou Zhun and Yue Sheng are holding Jietang Pass. We must return to Woniu Pass immediately because I just received news that the Liao army is also making moves. Mengdie is only leading three thousand troops to defend Feihu City, which makes me worried about her."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sijie immediately became anxious and urged, "Sixth Brother, Mengdie's situation is so dangerous. Let's hurry and go help her."

Sixth Brother spread his hands and said, "But the army cannot be without a commander. If I leave here, who will handle things? Many generals at Woniu Pass don't even know who I am!"

Yang Sijie asked anxiously, "What should we do?"

Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei were also very anxious and urged Liu Lang to think of a solution quickly.

Liu Lang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll retreat in two groups. Fourth Sister, you, along with Consort Yun, Consort Xue, Zi Ruo'er, Pan Feng, Pan Bao, and Lords Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun, will lead three thousand light cavalry to support Feihu City. You don't need to stay at Woniu Pass, as the soldiers there don't recognize you. However, I will have Li Ganshun accompany you and escort you across Woniu Pass. After you arrive at Feihu City, don't rush back to Waqiao Pass. Wait for my message. After I've arranged things at Jietang Pass and Woniu Pass, I'll come find you."

Yang Sijie was preoccupied with Lan Mengdie's safety and agreed without hesitation. Although Consort Yun and Consort Xue were somewhat reluctant, they didn't say anything. However, Zi Ruo'er said, "Liu Lang, can I stay with my senior sister?"

Liu Lang nodded in agreement, and so Yang Sijie led three thousand light cavalry, rushing towards Feihu City under the cover of night.

After seeing off Yang Sijie and the others, Liu Lang felt much more relaxed. He ordered his troops to rest for the night at Jietang Pass and set off back to Woniu Pass the next day.

Liu Lang saw that most of the women were overjoyed, after all, they had won a battle. Only Miao Xueyan was sullen, and he knew she was unhappy because she hadn't killed Cheng Shijie. Seeing Zhang Lühua with her, Liu Lang went over to comfort her, but before he could say much, Miao Xueyan buried her face in his chest and cried.

After some kind words of persuasion, Liu Lang promised to return and mobilize a large army to encircle and annihilate Cheng Shijie, and only then did Miao Xueyan stop crying.

Zi Ruo'er advised, "Sister Miao, I know you and Cheng Shijie are sworn enemies, and so am I! Besides family feuds, I also bear the burden of national hatred. Although I no longer have any intention of restoring the Northern Han, we are both wanderers in this world, and we should care for each other from now on. If you don't mind, I'll acknowledge you as my sister."

Miao Xueyan quickly replied, "Princess, Xueyan dares not accept such a title. How can I become sworn sisters with you? You are the late Emperor's daughter."

Zi Ruo'er smiled, "Aren't you also Lord Miao's daughter, sister? But let's not talk about these things. We should pull ourselves together to kill Cheng Shijie and avenge the dead."

Upon hearing this, Miao Xueyan embraced her. Zhu Ziruo'er said, "Sister!"

Ziruo'er, with tears in her eyes, called out, "Sister!"

Liu Lang stepped forward and said, "Don't be like this. As long as I'm here, I will definitely avenge you! Today we dealt a blow to Cheng Shijie's arrogance, so we should have a grand banquet. Also, there's something else. Meng Liang and Jiao Zan have repeatedly made meritorious contributions in battle. I promised before that I would find you two wives..."

Zhang Lühua was startled upon hearing this and whispered, "Sixth Brother, you're not..."

Liu Lang laughed heartily and stepped forward to hug Zhang Lühua, saying, "How could that be! Your cousin has already arranged for you to marry me. From now on, anyone who dares to make a move on you will be severely punished according to military law."

Meng Meng Liang asked, "My lord, what about us?"

Liu Lang replied, "General Chen Zhong and I have already discussed it. He has two beautiful and capable young sisters, and we intend to marry them to you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan were overjoyed. Meng Liang even kowtowed to Liu Lang and asked, "Where are the two female generals now? Can we consummate our marriage tonight?"

Liu Lang laughed, "Since you both agree, I'll make the arrangements. We'll hold a grand banquet later, and you can consummate your marriage tonight."

Meng Liang beamed and asked, "Sixth Brother, where are they now?"

Liu Lang replied, "Right here." "!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan exchanged a glance, then looked at the women beside Liu Lang and asked, "Tell us quickly, which two beauties are they?"

Liu Lang replied, "Don't look this way. These are all my women. Look behind you; they are your wives."

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan turned around and saw Chen Zhong looking at them with a friendly expression. Then they saw two women about their height and with dark skin behind Chen Zhong. At first, they didn't recognize them as women, but upon closer inspection and noticing their ambiguous gazes, they realized that they were the wives Liu Lang had promised to them. Meng Liang and Jiao Zan immediately fainted.

Liu Lang said, "Congratulations! Now you are both brothers and brothers-in-law. The elder brother will marry the elder sister, and the younger brother will marry the younger sister. Remember that, don't get them mixed up!" Liu Lang's

words drew laughter from everyone present.

After Kou prepared the feast, everyone helped Meng Liang and Jiao Zan up and handed them over to Chen Zhong's elder and younger sisters, then they went to celebrate together, chatting and laughing.

After the banquet, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, their faces contorted with grief, were led to their bridal chamber.

At this moment, Ren Tanghui, whom they had sent to eavesdrop on the wedding, returned to report. Liu

Lang asked, "General Ren, why are you back so soon?" Ren Tanghui

wiped his brow and said

, "It's all taken care of." Liu Lang asked, "How was it? " Ren Tanghui replied, "

It was horrific! Horrific!" Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Why?" Ren Tanghui said, "I simply couldn't bear to listen! To tell you the truth, when I was young, there was a butcher in my backyard who would often tie up pigs and slaughter them. The sounds those pigs made as they died kept me up at night. That's what I felt just now. Please, have mercy on me!" Liu Lang angrily said: "Could it be that Meng Liang and Jiao Zan are bullying Chen Zhong's sister?" After saying this, Liu Lang pondered for a moment and said, "That doesn't make sense. Those two female generals seem very generous; they shouldn't be making things difficult for Meng Liang and Jiao Zan." Ren Tanghui said, "It was those two female generals who took the initiative to woo them..." Liu Lang was even more surprised upon hearing this and asked, "That should be a very beautiful thing, so why is there a sound of a pig being slaughtered?" Ren Tanghui laughed and said, "Meng Liang and Jiao Zan both refused, so... those two female generals used force..." Liu Lang suddenly realized, and everyone in the room burst into laughter. After a while, everyone took their leave from Liu Lang, so Liu Lang ordered the courtyard gate to be closed and had all his women gather around and sit at a table. From Liu Lang's right to left, they were Murong Feixue, Zi Ruo'er, Zhang Huiru, Zhang Huiqing, Lan Liu, Zhang Lühua, and Miao Xueyan. Murong Feixue and the other six women huddled together and asked, "Sixth Master, everyone's gone, what are we going to do?" Sixth Master cleared his throat and said, "Let's have a family meeting first." Zhang Huiru said, "Sixth Master, what kind of meeting? Didn't I perform well enough today? You owe me so many times at Woniu Pass!" Sixth Master cursed, "You slut, you can't change your ways. Let me tell you the important things first." The women burst into laughter at Zhang Huiru, who, unashamed, swayed her hips and walked behind Sixth Master, saying, "Sixth Master, let's have a meeting then. I'll serve you from the side." As she spoke, Zhang Huiru gently patted Sixth Master's back. Seeing Zhang Huiru's eagerness, Liu Lang stopped scolding her. He cleared his throat and said, "From today onwards, we are family. That means you have all become the women of the Yang family! Applause!" Liu Lang continued, "Let me make this clear first: because I am handsome, dashing, and possess unparalleled martial arts skills, I am the greatest hero in the world. Therefore, many beauties are pursuing me. So, you are not allowed to be jealous of each other, stir up trouble, form cliques, hide money from each other, or associate with strange men. If you violate any of these rules, I will abandon you. Do you understand?" The women replied, "Yes, we understand!"

Liu Lang hummed in agreement and said, "For various reasons, you cannot acknowledge yourselves as my women in front of others for the time being, but I will still cherish you. After I finish the tasks assigned by the Emperor, I will find a way to marry you into the family, understand?"

The women replied, "We understand!"

Only Zhang Lühua whispered, "Sixth Brother, am I also a member of the Yang family's female generals?"

Liu Lang laughed and said, "Silly girl, your cousin has already agreed to betroth you to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lühua blushed, lowered her head, and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, looking like an innocent girl.

Liu Lang said, "Alright, everyone must remember these things. From now on, we must unite and not cause me any trouble. We must not be jealous of each other and must be considerate of one another. Alright! We've won today, let's play a game."

The women clapped their hands and said, "Okay! Okay!"

Liu Lang picked up the wine pot and said, "I will ask questions, and you will answer them. Anyone who can't answer will have to drink a cup of wine as a penalty and take off a piece of clothing. Let's see who can take off all their clothes first, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, the women all looked shy and timid. Ban Liulang picked up the wine jug and said to Murong Feixue, "Sister-in-law, let's start with you."

Murong Feixue smiled and said, "Liulang, I'm the eldest sister. Don't make me look bad in front of them. Please give me something simple, okay?"

Liulang nodded and said, "Listen carefully! Can a piece of tofu hurt someone?"

Murong Feixue smiled and said, "Tofu is so soft, how can it hurt someone? Unless that person is very weak."

Liulang smiled and said, "Congratulations! You're wrong! Although tofu is soft, it can still hurt someone when it freezes in winter."

Murong Feixue blushed and said, "Is that so? Can we do it again?"

The women all said in unison, "No."

Liulang sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, you're the eldest sister. You can't go back on your word in front of them!"

Murong Feixue hummed in agreement, and shyly took off her outer garment, revealing her fair arms. She was wearing a moon-white corset that covered her full, tender breasts.

Seeing this, Liu Lang stepped forward and touched Murong Feixue's breast, poured her a full glass of wine, and laughed, "Another penalty cup, sister-in-law! You'd better try harder next time!"

With that, Liu Lang approached Zi Ruo'er.

A blush rose on Zi Ruo'er's face as she waited for Liu Lang's question.

Liu Lang said, "Ruo'er, listen carefully, what doesn't have a tongue in its mouth?"

Zi Ruo'er pondered for a moment and said, "An elephant doesn't have a tongue in its mouth."

Liu Lang shook his head and said, "It's this..."

With that, Liu Lang poured a cup of wine and said, "The wine jug doesn't have a tongue in its mouth, drink it first."

Zi Ruo'er stuck out her tongue, glanced at the other women, and then drank the wine. She then took off her outer garment, revealing her fragrant shoulders and a purple bodice, truly incredibly alluring.

Liu Lang turned to Zhang Huiru and said, "You don't need to follow me anymore, it's your turn now."

Hearing this, Zhang Huiru sat down in a chair.

Liu Lang asked, "Why can a frog jump higher than a tree?"

Zhang Huiru thought for a moment and said, "Because that frog has learned light-body skills."

Liu Lang scolded, "Idiot, trees can't jump at all."

Zhang Huiru said "Oh," and then took off her outer garment, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders. Underneath her peach-colored bodice, two large breasts were stretched taut, with two nipples faintly visible.

Liu Lang unceremoniously reached into Zhang Huiru's bodice and kneaded them for a while. After Zhang Huiru drank the penalty wine, he said to Zhang Huiqing, "It's your turn!"

Unlike Zhang Huiru, Zhang Huiqing was not flirtatious and nodded shyly to Liu Lang.

Liu Lang asked, "If a cow faces south and spins around three times, which way will its tail point?"

Zhang Huiqing replied, "North!"

Liu Lang shook his head and sighed, "Huiqing, the tail always points downwards."

Zhang Huiqing blushed and shyly hid in Zhang Huiru's arms, hoping Zhang Huiru would help her. After all, taking off her clothes in front of so many people made her a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huiru took the initiative to help Zhang Huiqing take off her top, revealing a light green bodice covering her breasts. Then, after Liu Lang offered her a cup of wine, Zhang Huiqing hid in Zhang Huiru's arms again.

Next was Lan Liu. Liu Lang asked, "In winter, it coils like a dragon; in summer, its branches and leaves open. Its whiskers grow upwards, and its pearls hang downwards. What is this?"

Lan Liu thought for a long time but still didn't know the answer, so she had no choice but to take off her clothes.

Liu Lang lifted Lan Liu's light blue bodice, grasped one of her breasts, and stroked the nipple, saying, "They're grapes, but not the grapes here, they're the grapes on the vine."

Liu Lang's words caused the women to giggle, and Lan Liu was punished by being forced to drink a cup of wine.

At this moment, Zhang Lühua asked shyly, "Liu Lang, can I forfeit?"

Liu Lang replied, "How can that be? Unless you don't want to be a member of the Yang family's female warriors."

Zhang Lühua blushed and refused, clearly unwilling.

Liu Lang asked, "The old man has seven sons, and each of them has a sister. So how many children does the old man have in total?"

Zhang Lühua thought for a moment and said, "Eight!"

Liu Lang was surprised for a moment and said, "Wrong!"

Zhang Lühua said, "Why is it wrong? There are clearly seven sons, and the youngest is a sister, so there are eight in total!"

Liu Lang's face darkened and he said, "Then the old man also has an illegitimate daughter."

Fearing that Liu Lang would be unhappy, Zhang Lühua said "Oh" and shyly took off her outer garment. Under the rose-colored bodice, her breasts trembled slightly, whether from fear or excitement.

Liu Lang stepped forward, opened Zhang Lühua's bodice, and held her breasts in his hands. Since it was Liu Lang's first time playing with them, he was excited and played with them for a while.

Seeing Zhang Lühua's shyness, Miao Xueyan pulled Liu Lang aside and said, "Liu Lang, isn't it my turn?"

Liu Lang then released Zhang Lühua and said with a grin, "Five chickens, five eggs laid in five days, so how many chickens are needed to lay a hundred eggs in a hundred days?"

Miao Xueyan frowned, thought for a long time, and said anxiously, "Husband, so many chickens and eggs, I'm getting dizzy, can we change it?"

Liu Lang shook his head and said, "No! I'll tell you, it's still five chickens. Yanzi, take off your clothes."

Miao Xueyan generously took off her outer garment, revealing her snow-white and voluptuous body, which made the other women envious. Liu Lang even pulled open her pale yellow bodice, letting her full and tender breasts pop out, and then tightened them with the top edge of the bodice to make her breasts even more erect.

Liu Lang's mouth came forward and he kissed Miao Xueyan's breast, saying, "The result of the first round, Liu Lang wins!"

Then the next round of the game began.

Murong Feixue answered incorrectly again and was punished by Liu Lang by drinking a cup of wine and removing her skirt. Liu Lang then stroked her round and pert buttocks and began to test Zi Ruo'er.

Zi Ruo'er also answered incorrectly and shyly removed her skirt.

Liu Lang kneaded Zi Ruo'er's buttocks through her underwear and said, "Ruo'er, you must study hard from now on. Look at you, a princess, yet you can't answer a single question."

When it was Zhang Huiru's turn, before Liu Lang could ask, she said, "Sixth Master, I have no talent for riddles at all, so please don't ask anymore. I'll accept the punishment."

As she spoke, Zhang Huiru took off her skirt, and then, she even took off her underpants embroidered with orchids.

Liu Lang stepped forward and touched Zhang Huiru, saying, "Why did you take off an extra layer?"

Zhang Huiru swayed her ample hips and said flirtatiously, "Sixth Master, didn't I already tell you? I don't know anything about these questions. Now I'm all off, so you don't have to take it off again next time you ask."

Zhang Huiru's words caused Liu Lang and the other women to burst into laughter.

Liu Lang forcefully dug into Zhang Huiru's private parts a few times, then patted her ample hips, saying, "You're really sexy, good! I like it. Just wait for me to do it."

After this round of games, Liu Lang was completely naked again. After he helped Miao Xueyan and Zhang Lühua remove their skirts, the room was already littered with women's clothes.

At this moment, Liu Lang pulled Miao Xueyan, who was closest to him, into his arms, and reached down to caress her private parts, saying, "The game is temporarily suspended. If we continue, you'll all lose."

The women echoed, "Liu Lang, you're so amazing, we're no match for you!"

Liu Lang said smugly, "Let's try a different way. I have a poem here that I just wrote. I'll read it to you now, and you have to memorize it. The more you memorize, the bigger my reward will be."

As he spoke... While caressing Miao Xueyan's delicate body, Liu Lang recited: "Guan Guan cry the ospreys, on the river's islet, Liu Lang, Liu Lang, a virtuous lady is sought after. The watercress grows unevenly, my love for you, my lord. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, I beg you. Please soothe me, go deep and shallow. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, I toss and turn. The watercress grows unevenly, I gather it left and right. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, give it your strength. Back and forth, up and down, left and right. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, I will remember you forever."

After reciting, Liu Lang said, "From now on, whenever one person is with me, everyone else should recite this poem together." "The more you remember, the greater the reward you will receive."

Murong Feixue laughed, "Sisters! Let's all recite together and cheer for Liu Lang!"

Starting with Murong Feixue, the women recited in unison: "Guan Guan cry the ospreys, on the islet in the river, Liu Lang, Liu Lang, a virtuous lady is sought after. The watercress grows unevenly, my beloved sir. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, I beg you. Please soothe me, gently and gently. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, I toss and turn in bed. The watercress grows unevenly, I gather it from left and right. Liu Lang, Liu Lang, cheer me on! Front and back, up and down, left and right..." Right. "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, I'll remember you forever."

Sixth Brother clapped his hands and said, "From now on, everyone must work hard to memorize this poem! If anyone can't memorize it by tomorrow night, everyone will be punished, and I won't be lenient!"

The women all said in unison, "We understand, Sixth Brother!"

The next morning, Sixth Brother woke up exhausted and saw the snow-white and delicate bodies intertwined, a truly beautiful sight. He thought to himself: In my previous life, I lived for over twenty years and never appreciated such a magnificent view.

Seeing the colorful undergarments scattered everywhere, Sixth Brother wondered how they would find their clothes after they woke up.

After breakfast, when the generals gathered together, Sixth Brother asked Chen Zhong's elder and younger sisters, "Generals, how was your wedding night last night?"

Although the two female generals were rough around the edges, they were also shy and said in a sweet voice, "Reporting to you, my lord, last night was wonderful."

Sixth Brother then asked Meng Liang and Jiao Zan about their feelings.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, both listlessly, said, "It was just a nightmare, like a lifetime ago. Let's not talk about it!"

Liu Lang said, "From now on, you are not only brothers but also brothers-in-law. You must work together to assist this general. If you perform well, I will give you two women as concubines."

Upon hearing this, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan both knelt down and said, "My lord, we appreciate your kindness, but please don't give us the concubines!"

Liu Lang said to Kou Zhun, "Lord Kou, I am still Qin Dongyang in my current identity. After returning to Woniu Pass, I will find a way to change back. As for the matter at Jietang Pass, you will have to take care of it. You must appease the soldiers and make them realize that only by submitting to the court is it right, and following Cheng Shijie will only lead to death. After I return to Waqiao Pass, I will definitely report what happened in Shanxi to the Emperor and send an army to punish Cheng Shijie."

Kou Zhun agreed.

After arranging things properly, Liu Lang led the troops he brought from Woniu Pass and left Jietang Pass, marching quickly back to Woniu Pass.

On the way, Liu Lang discussed with Murong Feixue and others that upon returning to Woniu Pass, they should first appease the morale of the army and the people. Liu Lang's biggest worry was Long Qiuping. He had hoped Long Qiuping would die on the battlefield, but the boy had survived. Therefore, Liu Lang decided to discard him after he had served his purpose, using his old trick: first, he would use a beautiful woman to expose Long Qiuping's true colors, then seize the opportunity to kill him.

Although Lan Liu felt this was unfair to Long Qiuping, she couldn't guarantee that Long Qiuping would genuinely follow Liu Lang after learning of Qin Dongyang's death. In Liu Lang's words, "We absolutely cannot raise a tiger to cause future trouble; it's better to kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person escape!"

Furthermore, Liu Lang always felt Long Qiuping was dangerous and constantly thought about eliminating him.

Back at Woniu Pass, Lan Liu feigned ingratiation with Long Qiuping, who, unable to resist, attempted to assault her. However, Liu Lang, who had been lying in wait, caught them in the act and intervened. With the help of Murong Feixue and Miao Xueyan, they failed to kill Long Qiuping.

Long Qiuping, after taking a palm strike from Liu Lang and a sword strike from Miao Xueyan and Murong Feixue, managed to escape wounded.

Please continue reading the synopsis

of episode 16 of *Rampaging Through the World*: [Note]: The online version is titled *The Journey of a Noble Family*. Liu Lang, along with Pan Feng and others, returned to Waqiao Pass to report to the emperor. They learned that besides the unrest in Shanxi, the Liao Dynasty was also in turmoil. Therefore, Zhao Guangyi ordered Liu Lang to lead the troops of the three passes to resist Cheng Shijie in the west and the Liao Dynasty in the north! Xiao Chuo secretly visited Murong Feixue and received good news! It turned out that the Liao Dynasty was embroiled in fierce internal strife, and the situation was extremely favorable to Liu Lang and his men. At this time, news arrived that the Liao Dynasty was seeking peace, so the group headed to Zijing Pass. Unexpectedly, Yelü Sage had ulterior motives… Chapter One: Ordered to Guard the Three Passes. On the second day, Liu Lang arrived at Feihu City. After breakfast, Liu Lang summoned all the generals of Feihu City to discuss important matters. Liu Lang first emphasized his personal responsibilities, demanding that these generals obey only his orders. However, one general argued that he only obeyed the Emperor, and that Cheng Shijie had just rebelled; it was illogical for Liu Lang to seize power now. Upon hearing this, Liu Lang severely reprimanded the general, had him flogged sixty times, and then ordered him imprisoned. After reappointing the generals, Liu Lang reorganized the 20,000 elite soldiers of Flying Tiger City, plus the 3,000 troops brought by Yang Si Jie, into six armies, each with approximately 4,000 men. Each army was led by a general and three deputy generals, with the deputy generals responsible for judicial, financial, and training duties, respectively. Due to manpower shortages, Liu Lang selected several literate soldiers to assist the generals and report on the army's affairs daily. Liu Lang then began recruiting able-bodied men from throughout the city, offering two taels of silver to those who came to report. Many men came, and by the afternoon, more than 200 had been recruited. At this point, Liu Lang ordered his men to collect all the scrap iron in the city and smelt it. The women, puzzled by Liu Lang's intentions, inquired about his reasons. Liu Lang said, “After Cheng Shijie’s defeat at Jietang Pass, he will definitely not let it go. I suspect he will collude with the Liao Dynasty, which has been eyeing us for a long time, just waiting for Cheng Shijie to respond. Feihu City is very important. If we lose Feihu City, then Woniu Pass and Jietang Pass will become isolated cities, and we will be attacked from both sides without any support. Some time ago, we suffered a loss when we defended Santai Pass. The arrows in the city were not enough. In the end, we had to rely on throwing stones to repel Cheng Shijie’s troops. So I need to prepare in advance! Everyone, a fierce battle is about to begin…” Yang Sijie asked, “Will the Liao Dynasty send troops?” Liu Lang nodded and said, “Not only will they, but their first target will be Feihu City. There are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the city now, and the food is also running low. So I plan to go back to Waqiao Pass in the next two days to urge for food and troops, and also deliver the imperial edict.”

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed with Liu Lang's idea.

Liu Lang continued, "Feihu City is a large city. Besides 20,000 soldiers, there are 100,000 civilians. I've calculated that there are at least 10,000 able-bodied men who can defend Feihu City. We've already recruited 2,000 soldiers, so we need to continue. This task will be handled by Murong Feixue and Zi Ruo'er. You two will recruit soldiers and train them, striving to make them as strong as iron in a short time!"

Murong Feixue nodded in agreement.

Liu Lang said to Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei, "You two will continue to collect scrap iron and smelt it to make arrows."

The Bai Xuefei sisters accepted the order.

Liu Lang said to Lan Mengdie, "You will be responsible for the city's security. In the next few days, send out scouts to keep a close eye on the movements of the Liao Dynasty."

Lan Mengdie accepted the order.

Seeing that things were almost arranged, Liu Lang ordered dinner to be prepared.

Yang Sijie asked, "Liulang, everyone has something to do, what about me?"

Liulang laughed, "You protect me back to Waqiao Pass!"

Yang Sijie continued, "Then won't the others go back?"

Liulang said, "What's the point of going back? Where can I find the carefree life in Feihu City?"

Pan Feng said, "Then what about me?"

Liulang said, "Of course you have to come back with me to report the imperial decree. You are the Zhaoyang Princess, bestowed by the Emperor. Although the marriage alliance failed, you still have to go back to see the Emperor and help me prove Cheng Shijie's rebellious intentions."

Pan Feng said, "I don't want to go back. After I go back, the Emperor might betroth me to someone else."

Liulang laughed, "Don't worry! Even if the Emperor betroths me again, it can only be to me, but I might not agree!"

Before Liulang could set off, Zhao Guangyi sent a special envoy to Feihu City to deliver an imperial decree, ordering Liulang to go to Waqiao Pass immediately to meet the Emperor.

After receiving the imperial decree, Liulang immediately found Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun, and prepared to return to Waqiao Pass with Yang Sijie, Pan Feng, and Pan Bao to report the decree.

Before departing, Liu Lang instructed Bai Yunfei to take good care of Murong Feixue, who was pregnant, and Bai Xuefei, before setting off.

At sunset, Liu Lang and his party returned to Waqiao Pass and went to see Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi's expression showed both joy and worry.

At this time, Liu Lang had Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun recount their journey to Shanxi to Zhao Guangyi.

Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun, who had already conspired with Liu Lang, spoke ill of Cheng Shijie, then greatly praised Liu Lang, saying that he was resourceful, calm under pressure, and led everyone in a fierce battle against Cheng Shijie, even recapturing five passes: Ba County, Santai Pass, Jietang Pass, Woniu Pass, and Feihu City. However, Cheng Shijie had a large army, while they lacked supplies and could only temporarily adopt a defensive strategy.

At this point, Liu Lang implored Zhao Guangyi to send troops to punish Cheng Shijie.

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "My dear minister, you have worked hard! I will make a decision on this matter after consulting with everyone tomorrow!"

Emperor Taizong asked Pan Feng, "Zhaoyang, did Cheng Shijie's son bully you?"

Pan Feng cried, "Your Majesty, Cheng Shijie is plotting a rebellion, and his whole family are no good. You arranged for Feng'er to marry Cheng Shijie's son, but I never imagined that Cheng Shijie's two sons would be such scoundrels, fighting over who would enter the bridal chamber with Feng'er! Waaah!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangyi was so angry that his beard trembled. He slammed his teacup heavily on the table and cursed, "They are worse than beasts!"

At this moment, Liu Lang handed Zhao Guangyi a secret letter revealing Cheng Shijie's collusion with the Liao Dynasty.

After reading the letters, Zhao Guangyi was so angry that he immediately stood up and said, "Send troops immediately and kill that traitor Cheng Shijie!"

Liu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, let's not rush this matter. Let's observe the Liao's movements first, lest the Liao take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack after our army enters Shanxi."

Zhao Guangyi readily agreed.

When Liu Lang returned to the Yang family's temporary residence at Waqiao Pass and met Yang Linggong and the others, he was overwhelmed with emotion, especially seeing that Si Niang had a few more gray hairs at her temples from missing Liu Lang.

Liu Lang spent most of the night recounting his journey to Shanxi to Yang Linggong and the others.

Yang Linggong praised, "Sixth Brother, you have indeed lived up to expectations and have not disgraced me. You must be exhausted from your journey; rest early today!"

After hearing Sixth Brother's account of his trip to Shanxi, Shen Lingmei felt a pang of envy for Murong Feixue and the others. Seeing that they had all made great contributions, while she remained at Waqiao Pass, she longed to fight alongside them on the battlefield.

Yang Sanlang and Yang Qilang, upon hearing this, were both eager to fight, expressing their willingness to volunteer if it came to the campaign against Cheng Shijie. Yang Erlang and Yang Wulang remained silent, while Yang Dalang was sullen, presumably missing Murong Feixue, and secretly asking Yang Sijie why Murong Feixue hadn't returned.

Yang Sijie knew that Liulang was deliberately preventing Murong Feixue from returning, but at this point, she could only lie to Yang Dalang: "The situation in Feihu City is extremely critical. My sister-in-law is strengthening the city's defenses and should be back soon!"

Hearing this, Yang Dalang could only nod helplessly.

The next morning, after breakfast, Liulang accompanied Yang Linggong to see Zhao Guangyi.

After Zhao Guangyi told his ministers about Liulang's trip to Shanxi, he asked for their opinions.

In fact, Cheng Shijie's mutiny was a fact, and everyone was aware of it, but opinions differed on whether to send troops, with most advocating for inaction.

Pan Renmei submitted a memorial: "Your Majesty, Cheng Shijie is merely a local military governor. This is just a minor military disturbance, nothing to fear. Currently, the Liao army is pressing in, with twice the strength of our forces. If we divide our troops to attack Cheng Shijie now, and the Liao army takes the opportunity to advance south, it might be unwise!"

After consulting with his ministers, Zhao Guangyi

said to Liu Lang, "Minister Yang!" Liu Lang stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Guangyi said, "Cheng Shijie's rebellion is treasonous, but the Song and Liao armies are currently locked in a standoff, both observing the situation. I think the Liao would be happy to see us clash with Cheng Shijie, and then reap the benefits. In my opinion, let Cheng Shijie cause trouble for a while, and we'll see the Liao's reaction before making a decision."

Liu Lang said, "Your Majesty! Santai Pass, Woniu Pass, and Feihu City are currently short of troops. Once Cheng Shijie in Taiyuan..." " We must redeploy the main army to attack, lest the three passes fall. Since Your Majesty does not wish to quell the rebellion for the time being, we must immediately increase the garrison at the three passes!"

Zhao Guangyi nodded upon hearing this and said to Liu Lang, "My dear minister, do you think we should transfer some troops from Zhengding to reinforce the defense of the three passes?"

Liu Lang said, "Your Majesty, Zhengding is a vital town in Hebei. If it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable. I have already ordered the recruitment of soldiers to be expedited, but it is still not enough. I urge Your Majesty to consider the overall situation and devise another good plan."

Pan Renmei suggested, "Your Majesty, how about transferring some troops from the camp on the south bank of the Yi River..."

Yang Linggong said, "Lord Pan, this is even more unacceptable. The camp on the south bank of the Yi River is Hebei's stronghold. If its strength is weakened, it will affect the overall situation. If the Liao Dynasty attacks Waqiao Pass at that time, how will we resist the attack?"

Upon hearing this, Pan Renmei fell silent.

Finally, Zhao Guangyi appointed Liu Lang as the Northern Route Marshal and General Who Guards the West, commanding the troops of the three passes of Santai Pass, Woniu Pass, and Feihu City, to resist Cheng Shijie in the west and the Liao Dynasty in the north. Zhao Guangyi then left the matter to others.

Liu Lang discussed the matter with Yang Linggong for a while, then told Yang Linggong that he would be returning to Feihu City that afternoon.

Yang Linggong nodded in agreement and instructed Liu Lang to be extra careful, emphasizing that border defense was no trivial matter and that he must be conscientious, dutiful, and dedicated to protecting every inch of land. He added that although Zhao Guangyi was somewhat incompetent, as a subject, he still had to serve the country and its people.

Liu Lang took these words to heart.

Yang Qilang said, "Sixth Brother, I want to go to Feihu City with you. I've already spoken to Father, so you must take me with you."

Liu Lang smiled, and seeing Yang Linggong's agreement, he agreed to Yang Qilang's request.

At this time, Pan Feng and Pan Bao came to find Liu Lang.

Pan Feng expressed his desire to go to Feihu City with him, and Liu Lang naturally agreed to let Pan Feng accompany him. Pan Bao and Yang Qilang hit it off immediately; both were dark-skinned, lean, and wiry, possessing innate superhuman strength.

After Liu Lang prepared the provisions, he led Pan Feng, Pan Bao, Shen Lingmei, Lu Xueyao, and others to Feihu City.

Along the way, Liu Lang and the others chatted and laughed, and after passing Waqiao Pass, they headed straight for Feihu City.

When Liu Lang and his men arrived at Flying Tiger City with the grain supplies, Murong Feixue, Lan Mengdie, Zi Ruoer, Bai Yunfei, and Bai Xuefei all came out of the city to greet them.

Liu Lang was naturally overjoyed.

Murong Feixue said, "Liu Lang, Flying Tiger City now has a total force of 40,000, and Zi Ruoer and I are rigorously training the troops every day."

Liu Lang nodded upon hearing this, and then asked Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei about their progress in collecting scrap iron.

Bai Yunfei said, "We've been extensively collecting scrap iron within the city and smelting it to make arrows. Our army now has four thousand archers, and each archer can be allocated fifty arrows."

Liu Lang nodded, "That's good."

Bai Xuefei continued, "Liu Lang, these past few days I've been busy reorganizing the artillery. Feihu City has twenty Tiger Might Cannons, which have a long range and great power, but their ammunition is insufficient. There are also over forty Flowing Wind Cannons, which have a shorter range and are used to attack siege infantry. Their ammunition is plentiful. In addition, I discovered a large quantity of 'Fairy Scattering Flower Thunder' in Feihu City. This is a special firearm researched by our Floating Island. After pulling the trigger and setting the fuse, it can be thrown to create a large-scale explosion among the enemy, killing and wounding them."

As she spoke, Bai Xuefei handed the Fairy Scattering Flower Thunder to Liu Lang.

Liu Lang was astonished, thinking: Isn't this our hand grenade? I didn't expect the Qimen Dunjia of the Song Dynasty to have already developed it! This is wonderful! Thinking of this, Liu Lang happily kissed Bai Xuefei and said, "Xuefei, thank you so much."

Bai Xuefei continued, "Our army is severely lacking in artillerymen. Although some soldiers know how, their skills are very poor, which would be a waste of shells. So I specially selected a dozen or so clever soldiers and personally taught them the essentials. Then I had them go back to their respective camps to teach the other artillerymen. These past few days have kept me very busy!"

Liu Lang said with heartache, "Xuefei, you are pregnant with my baby and still have to work so hard. I will definitely reward you well later."

April 18th,
Chapter Two: The Grain Supply Robbed.

The next day, while having breakfast, Murong Feixue said, "Sixth Brother, I just received a letter from General Rentang of Woniu Pass. He has recruited nearly five thousand new soldiers at Woniu Pass. Due to the increased number of recruits, and the fact that he has taken some of the military rations to support Jietang Pass, the military rations are in short supply. General Rentang has begun collecting military rations and is seeing if some can be transferred from Feihu City to Woniu Pass for emergency use!"

Sixth Brother said, "Then allocate one thousand shi of grain to General Rentang, and send someone to deliver it immediately. Because this grain is so important, I need a trusted confidant to accompany me to feel at ease. Who among you is willing to take on this important task?"

The women all volunteered.

Sixth Brother considered for a moment and said, "This mission, let Consort Yun go!"

Sixth Brother patted Consort Bai's fragrant shoulder and said, "I'll give you one thousand soldiers. Be careful on the road, and don't mess this up." Consort

Bai accepted the order. After finishing breakfast, she mustered one thousand soldiers and set off for Woniu Pass with the grain.

Two days later, as Liu Lang and his men were having lunch, only halfway through their meal, Bai Yunfei rushed in, her face covered in dust. She cried to Liu Lang, "Husband, something terrible has happened! The grain I was transporting has been stolen!"

Liu Lang jumped up, slammed his hand on the table, and roared, "Who dares to be so audacious? How dare they provoke us! Yunfei, don't panic, tell me slowly and clearly."

Bai Yunfei stopped crying and said, "Many people stole the grain, and it seems they were prepared. When I led my troops along the way, they suddenly appeared, causing heavy casualties. Although I fought valiantly and managed to turn the tide, they received reinforcements. Seeing that I was no match for them, I had no choice but to abandon the grain and flee!"

Liu Lang comforted her, "It's not worth risking your life for a thousand shi of grain. We can get it back anyway." "Have you found out who robbed the grain?"

Bai Yunfei said, "We don't know yet, but I've already sent people to investigate. I've also sent someone to inform General Rentang of this matter at Woniu Pass; he should also investigate thoroughly."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Although this batch of grain isn't much, I absolutely will not allow such contempt for our army to occur! Order a thousand light cavalry to proceed to the scene immediately."

Murong Feixue said, "Liu Lang, isn't a thousand men too few?"

Liu Lang said, "The scene should be very close to Woniu Pass, and General Rentang should know about this situation before I do. In addition, he has recruited quite a few soldiers. If we need troops later, we can draw them from him. Besides, this grain was originally intended for him, so of course he should contribute."

At this moment, all the women volunteered to go with Liu Lang.

Liu Lang said, "This is just a small matter. The important thing now is not to neglect the military affairs of Feihu City. While I'm away, Murong Feixue will be in charge of military affairs, Xueyao will train the troops, Mengdie and Pan Feng will be in charge of the city's security, and Ziruo'er will be in charge of military discipline."

Yang Sijie and Bai Xuefei asked, "What about us?"

Liu Lang said solemnly, "Follow me to Woniu Pass."

Liu Lang mustered a thousand light cavalrymen and then went with Yang Sijie, Bai Yunfei, and Bai Xuefei to the place where Bai Yunfei

's grain had been stolen. When Liu Lang and the others arrived at the place where Bai Yunfei's grain had been stolen, it was past dusk. Ren Tanghui had just arrived with a small group of men. After meeting Liu Lang, he began to question Bai Yunfei's subordinates stationed there in detail.

The subordinates told Liu Lang and the others that those who robbed the grain went north along the fork in the road ahead, and because those people were very vigilant, he could not continue to follow them. When he went forward again after a while, he found that those people had disappeared!

Ren Tanghui asked, "Have you found any other clues?"

The subordinate replied, "Further ahead, there are two forks in the road. One leads to Lotus Peak, and the other to Jinyang County. We found messy hoofprints on both roads and questioned passing woodcutters. They said they saw a group of people heading towards Lotus Peak, but they didn't see any grain carts."

Ren Tanghui nodded and said, "General Liu, there's a group of desperados gathered on Lotus Peak. They call themselves the Lotus Cult, and their leader is Xuan Yuan Bayi. They're said to have mastered a divine skill that makes them invulnerable to swords and spears, and they have about three or four thousand followers, mostly notorious bandits with murder records. They occupied Lotus Peak three years ago. Also, Xuan Yuan Bayi has a good relationship with the garrison commander of Jinyang County, so this grain robbery is very likely a joint operation between them."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "That's certainly possible! But why would the garrison commander of a small town like Jinyang County have the audacity to rob our army's grain?"

Ren Tanghui said, "Jinyang County is surrounded by mountains on three sides. To the south lies our city, and to the north, a small path leads to Datong. I think that since we occupied Woniu Pass, Peng Youliang, the garrison commander of Jinyang County, seeing that Cheng Shijie showed no intention of sending troops, began preparing for a long-term confrontation. However, because transporting grain from the north is extremely difficult, he set his sights on our army's grain supplies."

Liu Lang cursed, "These bastards actually dared to plot against me! I'll see how I deal with them! But how did they know about our grain transport operation?"

Ren Tanghui thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the grain transport..." "There's a traitor in the ranks..."

Bai Yunfei suddenly realized, saying, "I remember now! Before the grain transport team even left Feihu City, someone suddenly asked for leave! But now that I think about it, he must have gone to inform them. And since I'm carrying grain, I certainly couldn't be faster than him, so after he delivered the message, those people could set up an ambush!"

Liu Lang said, "So that's how it is! But now that we know who did it, tomorrow we'll mobilize our troops to raze Jinyang County to the ground. General Ren, in your opinion, is Jinyang County easy to attack?"

Ren Tanghui said. "General Liu," said Liu Lang, "the forces in Jinyang County are less than five thousand. Although Peng Youliang is resourceful, he is not a major threat. The real danger lies with the bandits on Lotus Peak. If they know Jinyang County is under attack, they will certainly come to its aid at all costs, which will cause us considerable trouble when we attack Jinyang County."

Liu Lang laughed heartily and said, "That would be perfect! I was just worried that the bandits on Lotus Peak would ignore us when we attack Jinyang County. Moreover, they occupy Lotus Peak, so it won't be easy to attack them. But if we feign..." "Beat the enemy forces coming to reinforce Jinyang County, and we can severely damage them. Then we can take Lianhua Peak in one fell swoop, leaving Jinyang County isolated. Wouldn't that be a matter of days to conquer?"

Ren Tanghui gave a thumbs-up and praised, "General Liu is indeed a brilliant strategist. Let's return to Woniu Pass now and mobilize our army tomorrow to attack Jinyang County."

When Liu Lang and Ren Tanghui returned to Woniu Pass, all the women waiting there came out of the city to welcome Liu Lang. Having not seen him for several days, they were all teary-eyed.

Miao Xueyan, holding Liu Lang's hand, said, "Liu Lang, you're finally back! We thought you'd forgotten us!"

Liu Lang replied, "How could that be! I'm back!"

Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu knew Yang Sijie's place in Liu Lang's heart, so upon seeing her, they immediately fawned over her. Since Yang Sijie had been in a good mood lately, and already knew about Liu Lang's affairs with those women, she turned a blind eye. Zhang

Huiqing and Zhang Lühua, being shy, simply followed behind the group, whispering amongst themselves.

After Liu Lang and the others entered the hall, Liu Lang saw two more women. Upon closer inspection, he recognized one of them as Su Ji. Liu Lang stepped forward and embraced Su Ji, saying, "Su Ji, I truly feel guilty for leaving you in Ba County!"

Su Ji smiled and said, "Sixth Master, I've already entrusted my life to you! And I know perfectly well how you've treated me. Besides, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? It's just that the people of Wanma Hall sacrificed themselves to protect me and Miss Tie!" Liu Lang looked at Tie Xinlan and sighed, "Miss Tie

, I've wronged you."

Lan Yingying knelt on the ground, saying, "General Liu, if it weren't for you, Xinlan would probably be dead long ago! I have no way to repay your great kindness."

Liu Lang helped Tie Xinlan up and asked, "Where is your father, General Tie?"

Tie Xinlan's eyes reddened, and she said, "My father was hit by a stray arrow in the Battle of Ba County and unfortunately sacrificed his life!"

Liu Lang sighed and comforted Tie Xinlan, "Miss Tie, don't be sad. We will avenge this sooner or later. I will not let that old scoundrel Cheng Shijie go!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Xinlan wiped away her tears and nodded heavily.

At this moment, Liu Lang summoned everyone to discuss how to attack Jinyang County.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, upon hearing this, both expressed to Liu Lang that they wanted to march on Jinyang County.

Liu Lang said, “Don’t rush. We are definitely going to attack Jinyang County, but we need to think things through beforehand. I’ve already discussed it with General Ren. Tomorrow we will split into two groups, with General Ren and I each leading 10,000 men. General Ren, Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, and your two wives will be responsible for a feigned attack on Jinyang County. Once the bandits from Lianhua Peak are mobilized, you will turn around and join forces with my troops to encircle them. Then we will surround the enemy and attack their reinforcements, defeating the bandits from Lianhua Peak first.”

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan both agreed with Liu Lang’s suggestion.

Liu Lang continued, "I will lead ten thousand soldiers, along with Fourth Sister, Consort Yun, Consort Xue, and Yanzi, to ambush those bandits from behind. We can then catch them off guard."

At this moment, Zhang Huiru, Zhang Huiqing, Lan Liu, and the injured Su Ji and Tie Xinlan asked, "What about us?"

Liu Lang replied, "You will stay and guard Woniu Pass!"

Seeing that Liu Lang had made up his mind, although Zhang Huiru was unwilling, she had no choice but to comply. She wanted to ask Liu Lang if he could stay with her tonight, but seeing Yang Sijie standing coldly beside him, she was afraid of angering this young lady, so she had to give up! Zhang Huiru still couldn't forget Yang Sijie's fierceness on the battlefield.

Since they were going to attack Jinyang County the next day, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Su Ji had only been at Woniu Pass for a few days, and because her injuries had not fully healed, she stayed with Tie Xinlan for the next few days.

Since arriving at Woniu Pass, Su Ji had been eagerly awaiting Liu Lang's arrival. When Liu Lang finally came, Su Ji was unable to exchange more than a few words with him due to various reasons, which left her slightly disappointed, but still filled with joy.

After bathing, Tie Xinlan, wearing a soft nightgown, lay down beside Su Ji. Seeing Su Ji lost in thought, she smiled and asked, "Sister Su, are you thinking about General Liu? Since you miss him, why don't you go find him?"

Su Ji immediately snapped out of her reverie and said, "Didn't Liu Lang say he's going to attack Jinyang County tomorrow? Xinlan, I know you hate Cheng Shijie to the core, and I will definitely make Liu Lang avenge you."

Tie Xinlan nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister Su, that Cheng Shijie is truly despicable! When are we going to send troops to attack Taiyuan?"

Su Ji stroked Tie Xinlan's hair and said, "I don't know either. Let's ask General Liu later, but we'll have to wait until he takes Jinyang County first."

As Su Ji and Tie Xinlan were talking, they suddenly heard a noise by the door, and then Miao Xueyan entered with a beaming smile, leading Liu Lang in.

Su Ji was overjoyed, while Tie Xinlan felt nervous. Before Liu Lang arrived at Woniu Pass, Miao Xueyan and Su Ji had discussed it. They believed that after Tie Wanming's death, Tie Xinlan would be left alone in the world, so it would be better for her to go with Liu Lang. Besides, Liu Lang already had so many women around him, one more wouldn't make a difference.

After Liu Lang entered, he first hugged Su Ji and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Su Ji, you don't blame me for not going back to Ba County to find you, do you? But the situation was too dangerous at the time, and I had no choice!"

Su Ji said. "I already said I don't blame you. Xueyan told me everything about you being trapped at Santai Pass."

Liu Lang asked with concern, "How are your injuries? Let me see."

As he spoke, Liu Lang began to unbutton Su Ji's clothes.

Su Ji quickly said, "I'm almost fully recovered, you don't need to worry."

However, Liu Lang stubbornly pushed Su Ji's hand away, then unbuttoned Su Ji's bodice and discovered that the arrow had struck Su Ji just an inch below her heart. If it had been a little higher, she would probably have died!

Recalling the scene at the Taiyuan city gate, Liu Lang still felt lingering fear. He carefully stroked the healed wound on Su Ji's chest and said, "Su Ji, I was really worried about your injury!"

Su Ji looked at Liu Lang shyly upon hearing this. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her chest and saw that Liu Lang was holding her breast.

Su Ji blushed and said, "Sixth Master, don't do this, Xin Lan is here!"

Liu Lang chuckled, "Yanzi told me that Sister Xin Lan wants to be a female general of the Yang family, doesn't she? I'm here today to take her in."

Tie Xin Lan said shyly, "Sixth Master, I'm afraid..."

Liu Lang said, "Afraid? What's there to be afraid of in being a female general of the Yang family? Don't you want to?"

Tie Xin Lan stammered, "I...I want to, but I..."

Liu Lang laughed, "Since you want to be, what are you afraid of?"

With that, Liu Lang climbed onto the bed.

Tie Xin Lan originally wanted to dodge, but where could she hide on the bed?

At this moment, Liu Lang held Tie Xinlan's slender waist, his large hand already inside her clothes, kneading her not-yet-full breasts while kissing her lips.

As Liu Lang began kissing Tie Xinlan, her mind went blank, and her body grew increasingly limp.

Seeing this, Miao Xueyan smiled and said, "Liu Lang, I'm leaving them to you. I'll be going now."

Just as Miao Xueyan was about to turn around, Liu Lang grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the bed.

Liu Lang chuckled and said, "Yanzi, you can't leave!"

Miao Xueyan asked, "Why?"

Miao Xueyan's silk skirt occasionally brushed against Liu Lang's body, the soft gauze giving him a strange feeling, and the faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making his heart flutter. He then untied her skirt and said seriously, "Sister Xinlan is still inexperienced, I'm afraid she'll be scared, so I want to find someone to demonstrate for her."

Miao Xueyan said shyly, "Then you can ask Su Ji!"

Liu Lang pulled down Miao Xueyan's thin silk trousers and said, "Su Ji is injured, you know that, and my penis is so thick, I have no choice but to ask you!"

With that, Liu Lang inserted his penis into Miao Xueyan's body.

Miao Xueyan cried out "Ouch!" and slightly twisted her lower body, allowing Liu Lang's penis to grind against the deepest part of her body.

Miao Xueyan trembled slightly, and suddenly she opened her fragrant lips and bit Liu Lang's shoulder hard.

Although Liu Lang felt a little pain, this strange stimulation only made his senses more acute, even giving him a maddening pleasure. So, while accelerating his attack, Liu Lang asked, "Yanzi, why did you bite me? Is it because you think I'm late?"

Miao Xueyan snorted and said, "I know, why are you still asking!"

Liu Lang laughed, "Then

why were you pretending to be so proper just now?" Miao Xueyan retorted, "You weren't showing me any affection. You were clearly planning to vent on me first so you could focus on Su Ji and Lan Mei later."

"Lan Mei?"

Liu Lang slapped his head and said, "Now I have Big Lan Lan and Little Lan Lan by my side, and now there's Little Lan. It seems I've fallen into an orchid garden!"

Tie Xinlan couldn't help but giggle upon hearing this.

At this moment, Liu Lang reached out and parted Tie Xinlan's legs, touching inside. He felt a smooth, soft sensation and exclaimed in surprise, "Little Lan, is this part underdeveloped, or was it naturally bald?"

Tie Xinlan blushed and squeezed her legs together, saying, "Sixth Master, don't tease me! It's naturally like this, and I find it strange!"

Liu Lang stroked Tie Xinlan's private parts for a while, then said, "What's so funny about falling into the orchid bushes? Watch me play games with your sister Yanzi, it'll be your turn soon!"

Tie Xinlan let out a soft cry, then shyly covered her eyes with the blanket.

Meanwhile, Su Ji stroked Liu Lang's strong back, watching him and Miao Xueyan make love.

Liu Lang said to Su Ji, "Su Ji, don't be angry! It's not that I don't want to cherish you, it's just that I'm afraid of hurting your body. Let me enjoy myself with Yanzi first, then I'll give you all my semen."

Su Ji smiled knowingly.

Miao Xueyan cried out urgently, "Sixth Master, I want some too!"

Hearing this, Liu Lang thrust into Miao Xueyan several times, saying, "Isn't this what I'm doing for you?"

Miao Xueyan said sweetly, "Ah! It seems Sixth Master is still biased!"

Liu Lang remained silent, then with a burst of energy, he utterly defeated Miao Xueyan, leaving her routed! Then Liu Lang lay on top of Tie Xinlan, saying, "Little Lan, I'm here to complete the formalities for you!"

Tie Xinlan asked疑惑地问道, "Sixth Master, what formalities?"

Liu Lang inserted his penis into Tie Xinlan's vagina, saying, "After completing these formalities, you will be a female general of the Yang family!"

Tie Xinlan shuddered in pain and involuntarily gripped Liu Lang's arm tightly.

Liu Lang kissed Tie Xinlan's fragrant lips, listening to her light and rapid breathing, then gently lifted Tie Xinlan's body. Looking at her tightly closed beautiful eyes, Liu Lang couldn't help but kiss her face, thinking: Wow! Little Lan's face is so hot!

At this moment, Liu Lang slowly moved his lips down to Tie Xinlan's chest, taking her nipple into his mouth and gently teasing her with the tip of his tongue.

Tie Xinlan's body began to tremble with the rhythm of Liu Lang's licking, her hands embracing his head.

Seeing this, Liu Lang began to make love with Tie Xinlan…

Finally, after letting out a few sharp screams, Tie Xinlan collapsed limply onto the bed, her body trembling slightly, clearly still enjoying the afterglow of her climax.

Liu Lang lovingly stroked Tie Xinlan's hair, looking down at the bloodstains on the bed, then smiled with satisfaction. He then stepped over Miao Xueyan and went to Su Ji's side.

Su Ji was clearly aroused; as soon as she touched Liu Lang's body, she couldn't help but plunge her hot, fragrant tongue into his mouth, and Liu Lang kissed her lovingly.

Su Ji helplessly submitted to Liu Lang, her expression like a white peony plucked and fallen to the ground, gazing up at him with a mixture of sorrow and pleading. Liu Lang couldn't help but want to take good care of her.

At this moment, Liu Lang's desire surged, even burning fiercely. A fiery heat flowed between Liu Lang and Su Ji, turning their bodies a rosy hue.

Liu Lang kissed Su Ji somewhat roughly, and Su Ji responded passionately, her tongue entwining with his. This action, along with her sweet saliva, aroused Liu Lang's desire.

After a period of passionate kissing, both Liu Lang and Su Ji were aroused. Then Liu Lang inserted his penis into Su Ji and began thrusting.

After a while, with a roar, Liu Lang ejaculated into Su Ji's body. Su Ji gladly accepted the semen that restored her strength, and at the same time, she experienced the most pleasurable and intense orgasm.

"Sixth Master, Su Ji is so beautiful and feels so good!"

After a period of intense and passionate lovemaking, both Liu Lang and Su Ji were satisfied, and their bodies were too weak to move.

After resting on Su Ji for a while, Liu Lang quietly got up. Seeing that Su Ji and Tie Xinlan were sleeping peacefully, he woke Miao Xueyan.

After being woken by Liu Lang, Miao Xueyan put on her clothes and followed him out, softly asking, "Sixth Master, where are you taking me?"

At this moment, Liu Lang led Miao Xueyan to Yang Sijie's room, saying, "Didn't you want to make it official?"

Miao Xueyan exclaimed in surprise, "Sixth Master, you told Sijie about this?"

Liu Lang said, "Yanzi, of all these women, you're my favorite! You're not only beautiful, but you're also skilled in martial arts, and most importantly..."

Miao Xueyan stopped, leaning against Liu Lang, and asked, "Sixth Master, what's most important?"

Liu Lang lifted Miao Xueyan up in his arms, laughing, "Of course, it's your lewdness!"

Miao Xueyan said shyly, "I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!"

As she spoke, one of Miao Xueyan's hands slid down and grasped Liu Lang's penis.

Liu Lang said, "You still say no! You did this right after I said it. I think in a while, you can replace Zhang Huiru!"

With that, Liu Lang carried Miao Xueyan into the room.

Yang Sijie was on the embroidered couch, with Bai Xuefei and her sister around her. Yang Sijie faced Bai Xuefei, sharing their deep understanding and mutual admiration. They had long admired each other's talent and wished to be close friends, but had lacked the opportunity. Now, with this chance, after a few brief words, they both felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner.

Seeing Yang Sijie and Bai Xuefei's delighted conversation, Bai Yunfei, holding Yang Sijie's slender waist, tried to interject, but the two were so engrossed in their conversation that they ignored her. Listening to Yang Sijie and Bai Xuefei discussing the ten most famous songs, Bai Yunfei began to drowsy.

Bai Yunfei had been waiting for Liu Lang to return, but he hadn't come. She reached out and stroked Yang Sijie's chest for a while, but found no reaction. With a sigh, she embraced Yang Sijie's smooth, silky waist and fell asleep.

Seeing that Yang Sijie and Bai Xuefei were getting along very well, Liu Lang squeezed Miao Xueyan onto the bed, placed her between him and Yang Sijie, then held Miao Xueyan's buttocks and thrust forward forcefully, thus uniting with her!

Liu Lang's large hand encircled Miao Xueyan's slender waist as he said, "Yanzi, your fourth sister is right in front of you, why don't you hurry up and say it!"

Miao Xueyan shyly grasped Yang Sijie's jade-like hand and said, "Fourth sister, I... can I become a female general of the Yang family?"

Yang Sijie looked at Miao Xueyan's slightly shy and beautiful face, her fair skin and delicate bones, especially her white breasts covered by Liu Lang's large hand, which resembled the snow-capped peaks of Tianshan Mountain that had never melted for thousands of years. She couldn't help but nod repeatedly and said, "As expected of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Master, no wonder Liu Lang likes you. You want to become a female general of the Yang family?"

Miao Xueyan nodded shyly, her jade-like hands reaching out to Yang Sijie's

jade-like legs, and said ingratiatingly, "Fourth sister, you are so beautiful, I am so envious of you!" Although the large bed was spacious, the space became cramped with five people squeezed in, making Miao Xueyan's body almost pressed against Yang Sijie's.

Yang Sijie hummed in agreement and said, "You have a sweet tongue, but if you want to be a female general of the Yang family, you must have real skills. Just being pretty isn't enough."

Liu Lang took a breath and said, "She's very good at fighting!"

After saying that, Liu Lang hugged Miao Xueyan and began to thrust into her.

Yang Sijie said, "Are you just a martial artist? Don't you have any other skills?"

Miao Xueyan said, "I've been familiar with music since I was a child. I just heard Sijie and Xuefei talking about the piece 'High Mountains and Flowing Water,' and I happen to really like this piece. Is that alright?"

Yang Sijie's face immediately lit up with surprise and she asked, "Are you really familiar with music?"

Miao Xueyan slightly arched her body to withstand Liu Lang's attack and replied, "Xueyan knows a little bit."

Yang Sijie said, "Then tell me about it."

Miao Xueyan said, "The piece 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' is said to have been played by the qin player Cao Boya in the Spring and Autumn Period in a desolate mountain wilderness, and the woodcutter Zhong Ziqi..." He could even comprehend that this described the lofty aspirations of "high mountains" and "flowing waters," and Cao Boya was even astonished, exclaiming, "Excellent! Your heart is one with mine!" After Zhong Ziqi's death, Cao Boya, grieving the loss of his soulmate, smashed his zither and broke its strings, never playing again, hence the melody "High Mountains and Flowing Water." "High Mountains and Flowing Water" is based on the story of "Bo Ya playing the zither and meeting his soulmate," and has multiple versions, including both zither and zheng pieces, though they share the same name but are completely different in style.

Yang Sijie nodded, "That's right."

As she spoke, admiration for Miao Xueyan shone in Yang Sijie's eyes, and her jade-like hand involuntarily rested on Miao Xueyan's smooth, silky buttocks.

Miao Xueyan continued, "The story of the guqin piece 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' already circulated during the Warring States period, hence the legend that it was composed by Bo Ya. There's a peerless 'Mysterious and Wonderful Music Score' that lists 'High Mountains' and 'Flowing Water' as two separate pieces, but originally there should have been only one. The initial intention was to depict high mountains, expressing the benevolent person's joy in mountains; later, the intention shifted to flowing water, expressing the wise person's joy in water. By the Tang Dynasty, it was divided into two pieces, without sections; later still, 'High Mountains' was divided into four sections, and 'Flowing Water' into eight. These two famous guqin pieces, 'High Mountains' and 'Flowing Water,' along with the story of Bo Ya playing the guqin and finding his soulmate, became widely known among the people."

Yang Sijie asked, "Me and Xuefei..." "You all only know how to play this piece on the qin (a seven-stringed zither), Xueyan, can you play it on the guzheng (

another seven-stringed zither)?" Miao Xueyan nodded slightly and said, "'High Mountains and Flowing Water' would be better played on the qin zheng than on any precious qin."

At this moment, Bai Xuefei interjected, "I know that. My aunt once said that, but even a music master like her can't play the qin zheng. I didn't expect you to be able to. It's truly enviable!"

Liulang said while thrusting into Miao Xueyan, "Yanzi, you are indeed multi-talented, and you are also charming and alluring. I love you to death!"

Liulang's vigorous movements caused Miao Xueyan's delicate body to keep falling forward, and she fell into Yang Sijie's arms.

Seeing this, Yang Sijie angrily slapped Liulang's hand and said, "Talking to you about music is like casting pearls before swine; all you can think about is that."

At this moment, Bai Yunfei hugged Liulang from behind and said, "Husband, let me chat with you; don't pay attention to them!"

Liulang ignored Bai Yunfei and continued his attack on Miao Xueyan, saying, "Yunfei, you lost the grain, and I haven't even punished you yet, and you have the nerve to ask for a reward!"

Bai Yunfei flirtatiously rubbed her soft breasts against Liulang's back and said, "It's just a little grain, isn't it? With you here, what's there to worry about? At worst, I'll kill a few more people when we attack Jinyang County tomorrow to atone for my sins!"

As she spoke, Bai Yunfei's hand reached towards Liulang's lower body.

At this moment, Miao Xueyan could no longer withstand Liu Lang's attacks. Yang Sijie, who had wanted to hear her talk more about music, saw her panting heavily. Suddenly, she shuddered, grabbed Yang Sijie's hand tightly, and said, "Sijie, I can't take it anymore!"

With a cry of "Ah!", Miao Xueyan

trembled and collapsed into Yang Sijie's arms.

Yang Sijie was somewhat aroused and wanted to call Liu Lang over, but then she heard a soft moan and saw Bai Yunfei flip over and straddle Liu Lang. Seeing her seductive appearance, Yang Sijie truly felt inferior.

At this moment, Miao Xueyan gradually came to her senses. She placed a jade-like hand on Yang Sijie's breast and asked, "Fourth Sister, I'm still waiting to join the Yang Family Women Warriors, and you haven't agreed yet!"

Yang Sijie laughed and said, "How can I decide this matter! Liulang loves you so much, even if I disagree, I can't change it!"

Miao Xueyan said coquettishly, "I just want Fourth Sister to agree, so I can feel at ease. Besides, I bear a deep-seated hatred, and I'm counting on you to help me avenge it!"

Unable to resist Miao Xueyan's insistence, Yang Sijie finally agreed, "Alright, alright, I promise! And to be honest, I really like you!"

With that, Yang Sijie kissed Miao Xueyan on the forehead.

Overjoyed at Yang Sijie's promise, Miao Xueyan, seeing Liulang making love with Bai Yunfei, began discussing music with Yang Sijie and Bai Yunfei.

Yang Sijie hugged Miao Xueyan and said, "I've tried playing the guzheng before, but I could never play it well. Plus, my master passed away early, so there's no one to practice with. Now, after this battle, you must teach me properly!"

Bai Yunfei, hearing this, quickly said, "I want to learn too."

Miao Xueyan hummed in agreement and said, "To be honest, Sijie and Xuefei's talent is definitely no less than mine; it's just that they haven't had a master to guide them. My master, Shi Yutang, is a master of the guzheng, proficient in all ten famous pieces, and her Tianshan Imperial Sword Technique is unparalleled. Actually, there are several hand gestures that are extremely important when playing the guzheng." "As long as you can grasp it, there's nothing difficult about it. The right hand has techniques like lifting, chopping, picking, wiping, scraping, hooking, shaking, and pinching; the left hand has techniques like pressing, sliding, kneading, and trembling. The key to both hands is 'coordination.' I've summarized a few tips, which I'll tell you about later."

Just as Yang Sijie and the other two were chatting amiably, Bai Yunfei let out a wanton moan and fainted. Liu Lang stepped over Miao Xueyan and Yang Sijie and came to Bai Yunfei, saying, "Xuefei, I'm here."

Bai Yunfei immediately responded happily to Liu Lang's actions, and Liu Lang inserted his penis into Bai Yunfei's already wet and slippery private parts, holding her tightly.

Liu Lang could feel the tightness and warmth inside Bai Yunfei's body, making him groan with pleasure. Bai Yunfei also groaned, her delicate body heaving rapidly, waves of pleasure surging over her, gradually causing her to lose her mind.

At this moment, Yang Sijie and Miao Xueyan remained silent, intently watching Liu Lang and Bai Xuefei.

Although Bai Xuefei was prepared, the feeling of her body about to burst made her dizzy. Waves of pleasure surged from between her legs throughout her body, causing her to exhale involuntarily. Her phoenix eyes glazed over, her lips parted wide, her body taut, and fine beads of fragrant sweat appeared on her face, neck, breasts, and even her entire body.

"Husband, I'm coming!"

With that, Bai Xuefei tightly embraced Liu Lang's waist and fainted.

At this moment, Liu Lang got off Bai Xuefei and lay down between Miao Xueyan and Yang Sijie. He kissed Yang Sijie on the cheek and said, "Sijie, it's your turn."

Yang Sijie asked, "Why am I the last one to get here?"

Liu Lang pulled Yang Sijie's legs to his chest, brought his penis to her vulva, and, taking advantage of the wetness, entered her. He laughed and said, "Sijie, aren't we going to fight tomorrow?"

Yang Sijie asked in confusion, "What does the order of events have to do with whether we fight or not?"

Liu Lang said seriously: “Of all of us, only you are brave and skilled in battle, and there’s a battle to fight tomorrow, so we’re counting on you to charge into battle! That’s why I’m saving my semen for you… Oh, Fourth Sister, I’m about to cum.”

Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister Yang hurriedly grabbed Sixth Brother’s arm and cried out, “Wait a minute.”

Sixth Brother took a deep breath and continued his actions, bringing his mouth close to Fourth Sister Yang’s ear and saying, “Fourth Sister, hurry up, I’m about to cum!”

Fourth Sister Yang nodded, waiting for the moment of the torrent.

Miao Xueyan hugged Sixth Brother’s waist from behind, pressing her full breasts against his back, and whispered, “Go Sixth Brother! Front, back, left, right.”

Sixth Brother said, “No need for front, back, left, right, I’m about to cum!”

With that, Sixth Brother ejaculated his hot semen deep into Fourth Sister Yang’s flower garden, making Fourth Sister Yang sweat profusely with pleasure, and then collapse into Sixth Brother’s arms.

Liu Lang whispered in Yang Si Jie's ear, "Si Jie, I didn't last long, did you feel it?"

Yang Si Jie replied shyly, "You already knew, why are you asking me!"

Liu Lang chuckled, "That's good. You'd better hurry up and absorb it, we'll need you on the battlefield tomorrow!"

Yang Si Jie said, "I know, tomorrow my blade will surely have many innocent souls. Liu Lang, let me go!"

Liu Lang, however, held onto Yang Si Jie's long, slender legs tightly, then slowly closed his eyes and said, "Si Jie, let me sleep like this!"

Yang Si Jie closed her eyes, nodded, and happily felt Liu Lang's penis, letting him hold her as they fell asleep. The four of them squeezed onto one bed, and Liu Lang could feel the sweet, smooth touch, allowing him to sleep soundly until dawn. When he woke up, he found his penis had regained its vitality, erect and inserted inside Yang Si Jie's private parts.

Remembering that he hadn't given Yang Sijie enough the previous night, Liu Lang couldn't help but move slightly. Awakened by Liu Lang's movements, Yang Sijie instinctively raised her legs and began to respond to his actions.

Liu Lang and Yang Sijie enjoyed their time together sweetly, making the most of the time before breakfast. Eventually, their movements became increasingly vigorous, waking Miao Xueyan and the other two women. Although they felt jealous, knowing Yang Sijie's place in Liu Lang's heart, they dared not say anything.

Only after Liu Lang ejaculated inside Yang Sijie and withdrew his penis did Bai Yunfei kneel before him, licking away the remaining semen.

Liu Lang stroked Bai Yunfei's hair and said, "Yunfei, you must perform well today. If you fight bravely and atone for your sins, I will reward you tonight."

Bai Yunfei responded, continuing to lick Liu Lang's penis until it was spotless.

Yang Sijie lazily turned over, stroking Bai Yunfei's head, and laughed, "Yunfei, you're so greedy! If you like, I have more here."

Bai Yunfei, with a seductive expression, crawled between Yang Sijie's legs and said, "If Sijie wants me to eat, then I'll eat it all."

Hearing this, Yang Sijie was so frightened that she quickly shrank back and laughed, "I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously! If you get addicted, I won't be able to stand it!"

Bai Yunfei, however, persisted in pestering Yang Sijie. Finally, Yang Sijie, unable to resist, shared some of the semen that Liulang had ejaculated on her with Bai Yunfei, and only then did Bai Yunfei stop.

Chapter 3 Attacking Lotus Peak

After Liulang, Yang Sijie, and the others finished breakfast, they met with the Rentang Society and then mustered 20,000 elite soldiers at the military training ground.

After a cannon blast, Liu Lang led his army towards Jinyang County. Midway, Liu Lang and Ren Tanghui split their forces. Ren Tanghui, along with Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, and others, led their troops towards Jinyang County, while Liu Lang lay low, allowing his main force to ambush along the way. He also sent scouts to closely monitor the movements of Lianhua Peak.

On Lianhua Peak, Xuan Yuanba had been preparing since yesterday, as this grain raid was orchestrated by him and Peng Youliang, the sworn brother and garrison commander of Jinyang County.

Jinyang County, with its five thousand troops, was severely short of food. Transporting supplies from Datong was not only a long and arduous journey, but also involved treacherous mountain roads, making it difficult even for a single soldier, let alone supply wagons.

At this time, a spy planted by Xuanyuan Bayi in Feihu City reported that a batch of grain was being transported from Feihu City to Woniu Pass. Although the amount of grain was not large, Xuanyuan Bayi and Peng Youliang still decided to seize it. They believed that war with the Song army guarding Woniu Pass was inevitable, and with this grain, they could hold out for a month or two, and Cheng Shijie would soon recapture Woniu Pass.

After seizing the grain, Xuanyuan Bayi and Peng Youliang also noticed the unusual situation at Woniu Pass. Therefore, after reaching an agreement, they arranged for sentries to be placed along the road for the next two days so they could detect any approaching troops from Woniu Pass. If Jinyang County was besieged, Lianhua Peak would immediately send troops to its aid, joining forces with the garrison of Jinyang County to attack the troops at Woniu Pass; if Lianhua Peak was attacked, Jinyang County would send troops to its aid.

At this moment, a scout sent out by Xuanyuan Ba reported, "Your Majesty, a contingent of troops has been dispatched from Woniu Pass and is now heading towards Jinyang County."

Xuanyuan Ba nodded and asked the deputy chieftains, "Brothers, just as we expected, Woniu Pass has sent troops to attack Jinyang County. Are the troops ready?"

One of the deputy chieftains said, "Brother, the troops are ready, but is it worth risking our lives to help Peng Youliang and risk our lives against Yang Liulang?" Xuanyuan Ba said

, "Second brother, you're mistaken! We're not helping Peng Youliang, we're helping ourselves! Think about it, if Jinyang County falls, Yang Liulang will certainly not let us go. Jinyang County has five thousand troops, and with Peng Youliang's ability to both attack and defend, if we aid them, the army attacking Jinyang County will be caught between two fronts. As long as Jinyang County doesn't fall, Lotus Peak will be safe. If we hold out for twenty-odd days, the Marquis's army will return!"

The deputy chieftains repeatedly agreed.

Xuanyuan Bayi ordered everyone to be on high alert, then sent out scouts to act immediately once the Jinyang County town was attacked.

Liu Lang's army concealed themselves on the left flank of the mountain road, awaiting Xuanyuan Bayi's movements. Liu Lang knew that without a fight from the Rentang Society, the Lotus Peak forces would remain silent; he had to wait patiently.

Seeing Yang Sijie, Bai Yunfei, Bai Xuefei, and Miao Xueyan fully armed and ready for battle, Liu Lang laughed, "Don't be nervous, everyone. We have this battle in our grasp. We're just waiting for the Lotus Peak bandits to move, then we'll cut off their retreat and annihilate them outside Jinyang City."

Bai Yunfei asked, "Husband, what if the Lotus Peak bandits don't come to Jinyang County's aid? Won't we have waited in vain?"

Liu Lang replied, "The safety of Jinyang County is inextricably linked to the safety of Lotus Peak; they won't stand idly by!"

Just then, the sounds of cannons and battle cries came from afar; it seemed the Rentang Society had already made its move.

Liu Lang gave the order: "Prepare for battle!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Sijie and the other three immediately mounted their horses, waiting for the bandits from Lotus Peak to make their move. Suddenly, a fast horse appeared at a bend in the mountain road ahead. The rider glanced in Liu Lang's direction, then turned his horse around in surprise, ready to flee.

Liu Lang cursed, "Damn it, it's a scout from Lotus Peak! Quickly take him down, don't let him get away!"

The scout was three or four hundred paces away from Liu Lang's position. If he were to chase after him on horseback, it would be difficult to catch up. Moreover, even an archer with amazing strength could only barely hit him, and could not guarantee accuracy. Fortunately, Liu Lang had Yang Sijie, who was renowned for her divine bow and unparalleled archery skills. She calmly took out her Heavenly Cold White Jade Bow and a black-feathered wolf-tooth arrow. Just as the scout turned his horse around, the bowstring twanged, and the scout fell from his horse.

Bai Yunfei clapped her hands and said, "Fourth Sister, that's great! You can shoot from so far away."

Fourth Sister Yang proudly put away her bow and arrows and said, "These are my bow and arrows!"

At this moment, Liu Lang ordered two personal guards to go and dispose of the scout's body and bring the warhorse over.

After waiting for about half an hour, the scout sent by Liu Lang finally returned and reported, "Reporting to the general, the bandits of Lotus Peak have been mobilized!"

Liu Lang nodded and asked, "How many troops are there?"

The scout replied, "About three thousand troops."

Liu Lang said, "Lotus Peak has a total of four thousand troops. If we send out three thousand at once and annihilate them all, then Lotus Peak will be nothing but an empty fortress. Everyone, let's work harder and take down these bandits first. After we capture Lotus Peak this afternoon, we'll go to the bandits' lair tonight for a victory celebration."

After saying this, Liu Lang drew his sword and shouted, "Charge!"

At this moment, the three thousand troops sent by Xuan Yuan Bayi had reached a position five miles away from the Ren Tang Hui army. These three thousand troops were all lightly armed and even carried almost no shields, because Xuan Yuan Bayi planned to launch a surprise attack to defeat the Ren Tang Hui army besieging Jinyang County.

Although Xuan Yuanba's troops were battle-hardened and each soldier was capable of leading independently, they were all ruthless killers with formidable combat power. However, this time, Xuan Yuanba's overconfidence led to a miscalculation.

Xuan Yuanba's troops were fairly well-trained, with a thousand soldiers launching the charge, followed by another thousand, and then yet another thousand more, advancing wave after wave.

This was their signature tactic of overwhelming numbers; breaking through one point in the enemy's formation would break their overall structure.

However, Xuan Yuanba was facing the elite troops trained by the Ren Tang Society, and he was well-prepared. The seemingly chaotic rearguard changed the moment Xuan Yuanba's forces arrived.

Ren Tang divided its thousand archers into three groups: three hundred in the center, four hundred on the left flank, and four hundred on the right flank. Protected by shield bearers, the archers in the center fired forward, while those on the left and right flanks fired in a crisscross pattern. Everyone mechanically fired in unison under the command of their general, and the rapid-fire crossbows prevented close combat, rendering Xuan Yuan Ba Yi's side's advantage ineffective. Ren Tang's three-dimensional crisscross firing method expanded the attack range, and combined with the powerful and fast-firing crossbows, and the fact that Xuan Yuan Ba Yi's men lacked shield protection, their charge was suicidal.

Even if Xuanyuan Bayi wanted to use a human wave tactic, he still had to be able to rush to the front of the Rentang Society's army. However, of the thousand soldiers at the front, less than three hundred remained. The other seven hundred were already lying on the ground, groaning in pain. When the second batch of one thousand soldiers saw this, their morale immediately dropped. When they saw the people in front turn and run away, those in the rear also turned and ran away immediately. Soon, those soldiers retreated.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Yuanba roared, "You're all cowards! Charge! Second and Third Brothers, lead your troops and use the Bloodthirsty Black Dragon Formation to hold them off! Don't be afraid, those people didn't bring many arrows. If we charge now, they'll run out of arrows quickly. And the first one to charge will be richly rewarded!"

The Second Chieftain drew his saber and shouted, "Listen up! Anyone who dares to run away again, I'll cut off their head and execute them along with their family in the stronghold! If you don't want to die, charge forward! Don't worry about anything else, just charge forward!"

At this moment, the two deputy chieftains of Lotus Peak took the lead, and their second attack began again. Because those people firmly believed that the two deputy chieftains were incredibly skilled, and that the enemy couldn't keep firing arrows indefinitely, they used all their shields to block the flying arrows. In addition, the two deputy chieftains sent their bravest men to the second batch of one thousand soldiers, and of course, those at the very front were those prepared to die.

The arrows fired from the front by the Ren Tang Society's forces had been blocked. Although they could pierce the rudimentary shields, they only injured the hands of the shield-bearers at most. Xuan Yuan Bayi's forces were still able to advance, but the arrows fired from the left and right flanks were still ineffective against them, even threatening their second wave of a thousand soldiers. However, no matter how skilled the archers were, Xuan Yuan Bayi's forces, led by the two deputy leaders, continued to advance, with a few even closing to within ten paces of the Ren Tang Society's troops.

At this moment, Xuan Yuan Bayi charged forward, his hands clasped together, and suddenly a six-colored divine light rose above his head. The light then condensed into a ribbon, transforming into six dragon heads of different colors, while their bodies were all jet black. The ferocious dragons roared and coiled, rising into the air.

Flying Dragon in the Sky!

At this moment, a group of Ren Tang Society archers were felled by Xuan Yuan Bayi, and his forces seized the opportunity to swarm forward.

Seeing this, Ren Tang Hui remained calm and quickly waved his command flag. His shield bearers swiftly drew their shields with their right hands and spears from behind them, simultaneously unleashing four hundred spears. At such close range, the shields of Xuan Yuan Ba Yi's men were utterly ineffective against the spear barrage; many spears even pierced through two men at once. As a result, over half of Xuan Yuan Ba Yi's first thousand soldiers were killed or wounded by the spear attacks, but the rest of his army had already charged forward.

At this point, a melee ensued. Xuan Yuan Ba Yi's men proved fierce, their two thousand-plus soldiers decimating Ren Tang Hui's forces, forcing Ren Tang Hui to retreat while fighting. Fortunately, Liu Lang arrived with his main army at this critical moment.

Upon seeing Liu Lang leading his army, Ren Tang immediately ordered a counterattack, forming an encirclement with Liu Lang's forces. Although Xuan Yuan Bayi's men were fierce, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of Liu Lang's troops. Despite the bravery of Xuan Yuan Bayi and his two chieftains, they were thrown into disarray.

Yang Sijie, wielding her three-pointed double-edged sword, charged into Xuan Yuan Bayi's ranks as if they were nothing, then with a single heavy blow, felling four or five men. At this moment, one of the deputy chieftains rushed to fight.

The deputy chieftain tried to thrust his spear at Yang Sijie, but she dodged it. Then, Yang Sijie swung her sword down at his head, the gleaming blade flashing from top to bottom. The deputy chieftain raised his spear to counterattack, but Yang Sijie possessed superhuman strength, severing the spear shaft in one strike. With the deputy chieftain's scream, Yang Sijie had severed his arm.

The deputy chieftain screamed and tried to flee. Seeing this, Yang Sijie immediately attacked with a single-handed thrust of her sword, piercing his stomach with its sharp tip. She then threw him away.

Seeing Yang Sijie's ferocity, Xuan Yuanba's men scattered in panic, their formation collapsing.

Liu Lang's men, all strong infantry, wielded swords in one hand and shields in the other, using their shields for protection. They charged forward, dividing Xuan Yuanba's forces into several battle circles.

Because Miao Xueyan's revenge was still unavenged, she was filled with ruthlessness upon entering the battlefield. She charged into Xuan Yuanba's ranks, sword in hand, felling over a dozen men before encountering another deputy chieftain. This man was skilled in martial arts and possessed some magic, and a fierce battle ensued between them.

Seeing this, Bai Xuefei secretly launched three Six Ding Six Jia Talismans. The deputy chieftain dodged two attacks, but one struck him in the back. Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Xuefei cast a spell, slowing his movements, and Miao Xueyan stabbed him in the shoulder with her sword. Bai Xuefei then beheaded him.

Miao Xueyan and Bai Xuefei exchanged a smile and encouraged each other before continuing their fight.

Bai Yunfei also swung her sword, cutting down Xuan Yuanba's men, but encountered Xuan Yuanba himself. However, Bai Yunfei was no match for Xuan Yuanba and was exhausted after about ten rounds.

Seeing this, Liu Lang quickly defeated two opponents and rushed over, exchanging a palm strike with Xuan Yuanba. Both of them then retreated several steps.

Seeing that Xuan Yuanba was indeed skilled, Liu Lang unleashed the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique, but the purple lightning was blocked by a black dragon.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Bayi roared and leaped into the air, shouting, "Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

However, before Xuanyuan Bayi could unleash the Flying Dragon in the Sky, a loud twang of a bowstring rang out, followed by a black-feathered wolf-tooth arrow that shot towards him, piercing his lower back and causing him to fall from mid-air. Yang Sijie spurred her horse forward, shouting, "I'll let you fly!"

With that, Yang Sijie raised her sword and slashed at Xuanyuan Bayi.

Wounded by the arrow, Xuanyuan Bayi knew he was no match. After dodging Yang Sijie's attack, he leaped out of the battle and seized a warhorse to escape.

Yang Sijie intended to fire another arrow, but due to interference from several enemies, she missed Xuanyuan Bayi. Seeing him escape from the arrow, Yang Sijie was enraged. She put away her bow and began wielding her broadsword, hacking her opponents to pieces in a gruesome manner.

Finally, of the three thousand men sent by Xuanyuan Ba, only three or four hundred surrendered.

Rentang Hui quietly said to Liulang, "General Liu, these men cannot be taken in. They are all notorious bandits who have committed countless evil deeds, and their nature is hard to change. Let's just kill them!"

Liulang said, "Our army has always advocated treating prisoners of war well, but these men are too wicked, and they will be difficult to manage in the future. It would be better if General Ren took them into his camp first, and then sent them as the vanguard to attack Jinyang County this afternoon, letting them die on the battlefield!"

Rentang Hui nodded and said, "General Liu is wise!"

Liulang added, "Before they go into battle, reward them with some silver, and then have archers hold the line. Do you understand?"

Rentang Hui understood and nodded to Liulang, "This subordinate understands." "

Liu Lang instructed again, 'After you take Jinyang County, remember to bring back the silver reward for them.'

Ren Tanghui suppressed a laugh and said, 'I know. So, General Liu, what about you? Are you planning to take Lotus Peak while we're at it?'

Liu Lang said, 'There are still less than a thousand bandits left on Lotus Peak. I'll take advantage of the situation to raid their stronghold and eliminate any future troubles. When will you be able to take Jinyang County?'

Ren Tanghui said, 'Peng Youliang, the garrison commander of Jinyang County, is capable in both offense and defense. Although his troops are few, it will probably take some time to take Jinyang County.'

Liu Lang said, 'You try attacking first, wear down his strength. If you can't, then wait for me to come and help you tomorrow.'

Liu Lang and Ren Tanghui then divided their forces.

Liu Lang led his army to the foot of Lotus Peak, thinking it was just a small place that his army could easily flatten. However, the gates of Lotus Peak were very strong, and the terrain was treacherous. A direct assault was ineffective. Seeing that he was wasting his soldiers' lives, Liu Lang quickly ordered a halt to the attack."

After counting the number of casualties, they found that one or two hundred people had been killed. Liu Lang, looking at the gate of Lotus Peak from a distance, asked, "Is there any other way to the main peak?"

The guide replied, "General, there is another path on the back mountain, but it is extremely treacherous and much more difficult to attack."

Liu Lang cursed, "Only a few hundred stubborn bandits remain, and they are still resisting to the death. Capture them and hang them all!"

Bai Xuefei stepped forward and said, "Husband, I just observed the situation. Breaking through this gate shouldn't be too difficult."

Liu Lang happily said, "Xuefei, you have..." "What's a good idea? Tell me quickly!"

Bai Xuefei said, "Since the gate is so strong, let's use cannons to blow it up. First, we can kill the bandits guarding the gate, then find a few people with good agility to jump up and kill the rest of the bandits. Wouldn't that work?"

Liu Lang said, "We're located halfway up the mountain. How easy is it to transport a cannon up here? You saw it when we were fighting our way up; there were some places where a cannon simply couldn't pass."

Bai Xuefei laughed, "But we still have small cannons!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, signaling two of her personal guards to come over.

The guard untied his pouch and found more than ten "Fairy Scattering Flower Thunderbolts." Liu Lang exclaimed happily, "Xue Fei, you actually brought these! Tell me your plan!"

At this moment, Bai Xue Fei calmly strung the Thunderbolts together with willow branches and hung them around Liu Lang's neck, saying, "Husband, this time it all depends on you!"

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Xue Fei, you want the commander-in-chief to lead a suicide squad?"

Bai Xue Fei replied, "Among our troops, only you know how to use the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation. If you don't go, who will?"

Liu Lang touched the string of Thunderbolts and nodded, "That's true, but I don't know how to use them yet!"

Hearing this, Bai Xue Fei took one of the Thunderbolts, opened its back cover, and pulled the fuse. With a few sparks, she held up the Thunderbolt and said, "Time is of the essence—just a sentence's time—and then throw it!"

With that, Bai Xuefei flicked her wrist, throwing out the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Thunder, which exploded about a hundred paces from the gate.

Liu Lang praised, "It's indeed powerful! Watch me!"

Suddenly, Liu Lang remembered a problem and said, "Xuefei, it still won't work! This Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation can only be used when the body is still. How am I supposed to charge up?"

Bai Xuefei said, "I've already thought of it. Have that squad of rattan armor soldiers escort you up. After you attack, the soldiers will retreat. Then you quickly hide behind the large rock next to the gate, preventing them from throwing stones at you. When you unleash the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation, their arrows will..." "It's no longer effective. Now, you need to seize the opportunity to throw grenades, but be careful not to blow yourself up!"

Liu Lang said. "Okay, I've got it. Brothers, follow me and charge!"

At this moment, ten rattan armor soldiers, each wielding two shields, protected Liu Lang and charged forward into the rain of arrows. Liu Lang seized the opportunity to hide behind a large rock, then used the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation to sublimate his primordial spirit and protect his body with his true energy. Half of the ten rattan armor soldiers were wounded by the dense rain of arrows and quickly retreated.

The guards at the gate discovered someone behind the rock and shouted, "There's someone behind the rock! Brothers, shoot him!"

In an instant, arrows rained down on Liu Lang like locusts, but Liu Lang's Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation was impervious to blades and spears. The arrows and crossbow bolts struck the crimson-blue energy wave as if they were hitting a rock, only producing sparks and crackling sounds.

Seeing Liu Lang unleash the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation, the group cried out in alarm and tried to hurl large rocks at him, but they were all blocked by the large rock in front of Liu Lang, making no difference.

Liu Lang cursed, "Taste my power!"

With that, he took out a Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Thunderbolt, pulled the fuse, and threw it towards the gate. However, since this was Liu Lang's first time throwing a thunderbolt, he lacked experience and his strength was insufficient. It failed to hit the gate, only exploding in front of it with

a loud "Boom!" startling the gatekeepers.

Someone shouted, "This is terrible! The demon can throw cannons too!"

Liu Lang said, "Again!"

With that, Liu Lang lit another Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Thunderbolt. This time, Liu Lang threw it with all his might, and it hit the gatekeepers, with two of them being blown away and thrown down to the ground below the gate.

Liu Lang laughed, "You're really something! Watch me blow you all away!"

Having gained experience, Liu Lang threw one Heavenly Maiden Scattering Bomb after another at the gate. With deafening roars, the men were blasted into a chaotic mess, flying everywhere. Liu Lang, finally getting carried away, threw the last three Heavenly Maiden Scattering Bombs, then put away the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation, grabbed his sword, and shouted, "Everyone, charge!"

The gatekeepers were scattered in all directions, and almost all the archers were blown away. Before the other archers could catch up, Liu Lang leaped onto the gate and charged into the fray, engaging them in battle.

Yang Sijie, Bai Xuefei, Bai Yunfei, and Miao Xueyan seized the opportunity to attack and take control of the gate. Then, skilled martial artists followed, scattering the bandits. They then opened the gate, letting the main force rush in, causing the bandits to collapse instantly.

Liu Lang led his army to capture the mountain stronghold, while Xuan Yuanba, wounded and unable to fight, was shot in the body by Yang Sijie's Heavenly Cold Jade Bow during his escape. He then lost his footing and fell off a cliff to his death.

The thousand soldiers inside Lotus Peak were quickly subdued. Besides the three or four hundred who died, there were four or five hundred prisoners. When Liu Lang asked them if they were willing to surrender, they naturally wanted to live and knelt down to beg for mercy. Liu Lang then organized these men into units and temporarily placed them under house arrest, planning to send them to attack Jinyang County the next day.

At this time, dozens more respectable women were found. Upon questioning, it was learned that they had all been captured and brought up the mountain. Liu Lang gave them some silver and sent them down the mountain. Afterwards, Liu Lang inventoried the items in Lotus Peak and found that he had made quite a haul, including two thousand shi of grain, more than ten thousand taels of silver, and some weapons. Liu Lang packed up these items, but seeing that it was getting late, he ordered that they stay overnight at Lotus Peak and attack Jinyang County the next day.

That evening, Liu Lang rewarded his troops, letting the soldiers eat their fill. He himself was not idle either; he found the cleanest room and held a grand banquet, playing a game of riddles with Yang Sijie and the other three. In the end, Yang Sijie and the other three lost miserably, and Liu Lang stripped them naked. Looking at their beautiful bodies, Liu Lang felt ecstatic and spent a night of passion with them...

Chapter Four:

The Day After the Capture of Jinyang City, Liu Lang ordered all the items seized from Lianhua Peak to be loaded onto carts and sent a team to transport them back to Woniu Pass. He, along with Yang Sijie, Miao Xueyan, Bai Yunfei, and Bai Xuefei, led the army to Jinyang County. Before leaving, they set fire to the bandit stronghold on Lianhua Peak, burning it to the ground.

When Liu Lang led his army to the outskirts of Jinyang County and joined up with the Rentang Society's troops, Liu Lang discovered that the Rentang Society had not been quiet all night and had actually built an earthen city outside the city gate of Jinyang County. It was made of wooden planks and mud and was even one or two zhang higher than the city wall of Jinyang County.

Ren Tanghui said, "Building this arrow tower was extremely difficult. I commanded my men all night without sleep. During that time, the archers of Jinyang County engaged in fierce firefights with our army. In the end, our army paid the price of three hundred men to finally complete this arrow tower. Currently, the arrow tower directly faces one of the city walls of Jinyang County, so if we want to attack the city, we should attack that city wall directly."

Liu Lang praised, "Well done, but so many soldiers were sacrificed in vain."

Ren Tanghui laughed, "General Liu, those were the prisoners who died. If I don't send them to build the arrow tower, who should I send?"

Liu Lang laughed heartily, "Brilliant, truly brilliant!" Ren

Tanghui echoed with a laugh, "It's all thanks to General Liu's guidance. There are still one or two hundred prisoners left. Should we send them to the front lines?"

Liu Lang said, "Of course. And I was afraid you wouldn't have enough manpower, so I brought another five hundred men."

As he spoke, Liu Lang handed the five hundred surrendered prisoners over to Ren Tanghui to command.

At this moment, beneath the walls of Jinyang County, the Rentang Society quickly formed an attack formation, placing the seven hundred prisoners at the forefront. After inspecting the area on horseback, they shouted, "Listen up, now is your chance to redeem yourselves! Jinyang County is right before us. If you break through and capture Peng Youliang alive, you will have performed a great feat. Not only will your past transgressions be forgiven, but you will also be promoted and made rich!"

The Rentang Society ordered their men to carry a box of silver, distributing about ten taels of silver ingots to each of them, and then gave the order: "Prepare to attack!"

Behind the seven hundred prisoners were three thousand rattan armored short-sword soldiers, followed by two thousand archers and three thousand spearmen. The cavalry were scattered on both flanks, ready to provide support.

Seeing that some of the stronger archers had already climbed the earthen city wall and were using large bows to suppress the archers on the city wall ahead, Liu Lang nodded and gave the order: "Attack!"

The seven hundred prisoners knew they were being used as human shields, but now they had no choice but to fight. Besides, perhaps only by reaching Jinyang County would they have a

chance of survival. So they made a firm decision, each holding a rattan shield in one hand and a short sword in the other, and carried ten siege ladders, advancing step by step towards Jinyang County. Liu Lang's army continuously fired arrows from above the earthen city wall and from Jinyang County, preventing it from fully defending itself. Then, the archers on both sides, relying on their shields, began a frenzied exchange of fire.

By this time, more than two hundred prisoners at the forefront had been killed or wounded, and the siege ladders had reached the city wall. They raised their shields and charged towards the wall with reckless abandon.

Although bows and arrows were no longer very effective, Peng Youliang did have a method. He ordered the soldiers guarding the city to throw stones down and put bags full of lamp oil on the city wall. Then he used spears to poke many small holes in the bags, causing the lamp oil to flow out and onto the prisoners. He then threw down torches, causing the prisoners to scream and fall off the ladders.

Seeing his attack thwarted, Liu Lang cursed, "That Peng Youliang actually copied my method of defending Santai Pass! What a bastard!"

Peng Youliang's method of pouring lamp oil was even superior to Liu Lang's, as it not only saved oil but also made it impossible for the attackers to dodge.

Liu Lang was furious. After thinking for a moment, he ordered his soldiers to bring a large bucket of water and then summoned Meng Liang and Jiao Zan.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan arrived with their wives, and Liu Lang poured the water over them. After four buckets of water, they were completely soaked!

Meng Liang asked in surprise, "Sixth Brother, what are you doing?"

Sixth Brother, his face grim, pointed ahead and said, "When our army attacked Jinyang County, we only brought these ten siege ladders, and now half of them are destroyed. I want you to lead your troops to the front immediately. Today I am determined to take Jinyang County, but I'm afraid you'll be burned, so I've given you a protective charm. What are you waiting for? Charge!"

Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, and their wives were all reckless men. Seeing that they hadn't yet captured the city, they were already seething with anger. After receiving the order, they led their troops forward.

At this moment, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan stood on the arrow-blocking cart, wielding broadswords and steel whips, while their wives, holding rattan shields and steel swords, bravely charged forward into the rain of arrows.

When Meng Liang and his companions arrived at the city wall, almost all of the seven hundred prisoners were dead. Since they were standing on a cart, they were already nearly halfway up the wall. When they jumped from the cart onto the ladders, despite the enemy's fierce attacks of throwing stones and pouring oil, they bravely charged up the wall. They were all injured by falling stones, but fortunately, their thick skin meant these injuries didn't hinder their fighting ability.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, ignoring their singed hair and beards, immediately engaged the defending soldiers in hand-to-hand combat with broadswords and steel whips. They were incredibly fierce, forcing the soldiers to retreat. Their wives seized the opportunity to lead their personal guards up the wall, quickly capturing a section.

As more and more soldiers joined the attack, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan gradually occupied a large section of the wall and moved towards the city gate.

By this time, all the siege ladders had been destroyed, and about three or four hundred men had entered the city. The rest were stuck at the foot of the city wall and couldn't get up. Fearing something might happen, Liu Lang said to Yang Si Jie and the others, "Don't just stand there watching. Let's quickly seize the city gate and let our army in. Otherwise, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan might not be able to hold out."

Upon hearing this, Miao Xueyan immediately drew her sword, leaped onto the arrow-blocking cart, and then jumped onto the city wall to join the fierce battle. Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei followed suit.

Liu Lang and Yang Si Jie were not very skilled in light-footed martial arts. Standing on the cart, seeing that they were still about three zhang (approximately 10 meters) from the city wall's crenellations, Liu Lang said, "Si Jie, why don't I take you up? After you capture the city gate, you can bring me in."

Yang Si Jie nodded, holding her three-pointed double-edged sword. Then, Liu Lang lifted her delicate body with both hands, and

with a powerful leap, shouted, "Go!" Yang Si Jie successfully leaped onto the city wall. She joined the battle with her three-pointed double-edged sword, and her arrival immediately broke the stalemate, causing the defending soldiers to retreat. In less than a quarter of an hour, Yang Si Jie successfully captured the city gate. Meng Liang and Jiao Zan then led their troops to open the city gate, allowing Liu Lang and Ren Tang Hui to lead their army in.

At this time, a fierce street battle ensued. It wasn't until noon that Liu Lang finally annihilated the enemy army, and Peng Youliang was captured.

Liu Lang demanded Peng Youliang's surrender, but Peng's tone was extremely defiant. Enraged, Liu Lang ordered Meng Liang to behead Peng and hang his head on the city gate. Afterwards, Liu Lang counted the prisoners and found a thousand. He incorporated them all into his own forces, re-established the county government in Jinyang, and left a thousand soldiers to garrison it. He then took the seized gold and silver treasures back to Woniu Pass.

On the way, Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, and their wives' hair and beards were completely singed, and the ash obscured their faces. Given their similar height and build, it was impossible to tell who was male and who was female without them speaking.

Upon seeing this, Liu Lang laughed so hard he almost fell over on his horse. Everyone else covered their mouths and laughed too, but Meng Liang didn't care; he was only concerned with boasting to Liu Lang.

Liu Lang said, "The two generals deserve immense credit for the attack on Jinyang County. Upon returning to Woniu Pass, in addition to rewards of gold and silver, you two will be granted three days' leave to enjoy your married life."

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan's wives were all smiles, but Meng Liang and Jiao Zan themselves looked miserable. They had hoped for a title or something similar, but instead received only three days of intimate time with their wives as a reward. Knowing their wives' formidable strength, they had hidden themselves away upon returning to Woniu Pass.

At the victory banquet, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan's wives unexpectedly shaved their heads, shocking everyone present.

While their hair had been singed by fire during the siege, making a shaved head understandable, their fierce appearances made it difficult to distinguish them as women when they had hair; with shaved heads, it was truly hard to tell their gender.

At this time, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan's wives complained to Liu Lang that they had disappeared as soon as they returned to the city. Liu Lang guessed that they were afraid of their wives and had secretly hidden themselves, so he ordered a city-wide search. Finally, they were found in a secluded room.

When Meng Liang and Jiao Zan's wives brought them to the hall, everyone burst into laughter upon seeing the four bald men. During the banquet, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, again citing their great victory, drank excessively and wanted to get drunk. However, their wives persuaded them to stop, and Liu Lang also forbade them to drink too much. He ordered them to take Meng Liang and Jiao Zan home to enjoy their married life.

The next day, Liu Lang left Woniu Pass, taking Yang Sijie, Miao Xueyan, Bai Xuefei, and Bai Yunfei with him, leading a troop of personal guards back to Feihu City. After a day of rapid march, they finally returned to Feihu City after sunset.

Murong Feixue led her men out of the city to welcome Liu Lang and his entourage. Hearing of Liu Lang's great victory—not only had he recovered the stolen grain, but he had also obtained a large quantity of supplies and silver—Murong Feixue and the others were all overjoyed for him.

After Lu Xueyao reported to Liu Lang on the effectiveness of the army's training over the past two days, Liu Lang ordered a celebration to be held in Feihu City that day.

In late autumn, the weather grew cooler. During this time, under Lu Xueyao's supervision, Feihu City had been fortified into a strong fortress. To the east of Feihu City lay a vast swamp, virtually impassable, while to the south, the land had been fortified with over a dozen ditches and arrow emplacements, along with thirty to forty fortified bunkers. These bunkers were interconnected underground, storing large quantities of grain and drinking water, as well as ample crossbow bolts and "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" (a type of explosive device). Even if the Liao army launched a major offensive and attempted to conquer Feihu City, they would have to pay a heavy price.

On the high and sturdy walls of Flying Tiger City, dozens of cannons were already equipped with mobile gun mounts, and ammunition was plentiful. The gunners' skills were also superb, so Flying Tiger City was now an impregnable fortress, and there was no need to worry.

Afterwards, Liu Lang spent his days training the army and his nights training his women. Under his careful tutelage, one wanton woman after another was born. Recalling Murong Feixue's former elegance and grace, Shen Lingmei's virtue, Lu Xueyao's pure innocence, and Yang Sijie's refinement, they were all now at his feet, making Liu Lang feel like he was floating on air.

Under Lu Xueyao's meticulous training, the army's progress was truly astonishing; it had already acquired the combat capabilities of a regular army.

The fortifications outside Feihu City were incredibly strong, and Lu Xueyao had added two artillery emplacements to the open area south of the city. These emplacements, along with arrow towers and bunkers, completely blocked the roads leading to Feihu City. Furthermore, to prevent surprise attacks by Liao cavalry, a ten-mile radius around the southern defenses of Feihu City was filled with three-foot-high pointed wooden stakes.

Soldiers were stationed in the bunkers, and the closest bunker to Feihu City had a secret passage leading into the city. Liu Lang was also reassured by the city's grain reserves, as many wealthy households had sold their grain at high prices offered by the government. Holding out for a year was definitely not a problem. Although there were only 40,000 soldiers, many others had decided to join the army. Therefore, Liu Lang firmly believed that Feihu City could withstand an attack from hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers.

However, the Liao Dynasty remained silent, and even Cheng Shijie made no move. Given Cheng Shijie's personality, having suffered such a great loss, he couldn't possibly let it go unpunished. But the scouts Liu Lang sent to Taiyuan still couldn't get reliable information.

That noon, while Liu Lang was drinking tea, Pan Feng rushed in, panicking, "Sixth Master, something terrible has happened! I saw Murong Feixue having a secret rendezvous with a man!"

Liu Lang was startled and almost jumped up, but then calmed down and said to Pan Feng, "Don't talk nonsense. If you slander her, beware of my family's punishment."

Pan Feng innocently said, "I really didn't lie. I needed to see her today, but she didn't even eat lunch before slipping out. So I became suspicious, because she clearly promised me that after lunch she would help..." "I was busy, so I secretly followed her."

Liu Lang asked, "What did you find out?"

Pan Feng said awkwardly, "When she got to the main street of the North City, she was with a handsome young man. Then they went to a pharmacy. I didn't dare to follow them in. After they came out, I saw them go into an inn opposite the pharmacy, which made me even more suspicious. So I went to the pharmacy to ask, and the doctor there said he prescribed her some medicine to prevent miscarriage."

Liu Lang was getting impatient. He stood up and asked, "What's the name of that pharmacy?"

Pan Feng told him the name of the pharmacy.

Liu Lang wanted to investigate, but seeing that Pan Feng was still following him, he said irritably, "You stay here."

Pan Feng said "Oh," and didn't dare to say anything more.

Liu Lang thought to himself: My sister-in-law is indeed pregnant, and it's understandable that she was prescribed medicine to prevent miscarriage, but why did she go with another man behind my back? Even if they were her fellow disciples, it shouldn't be like this! Besides, according to Zi Ruo'er, the Lishan Sect doesn't seem to have any male disciples.

The more Liu Lang thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He went to the inn opposite the pharmacy and suddenly felt that the inn looked familiar. After thinking carefully, he realized that this was the main street behind the General's Mansion. He had come out from the main gate and had circled around to get here.

Liu Lang suddenly remembered that more than two months ago, he and Murong Feixue had overheard Sha Baofei's secret at this very inn. The erotic scene from that night was still vivid in his mind. Liu Lang could only smile bitterly, thinking: Who is my sister-in-law meeting?

Chapter 5 Xiao Chuo's Visit

After arriving at the inn, Liu Lang asked the waiter about the situation. The waiter dared not hide anything and told Liu Lang where Murong Feixue was.

Liu Lang went up the stairs and arrived at the door of Murong Feixue's room. He heard whispers coming from inside. Then Liu Lang gently pushed open the door and went in, hiding behind the screen and secretly peeking inside.

A handsome young man dressed in white was seen embracing Murong Feixue with a smile. Liu Lang wasn't angry; in fact, he was very happy, because the man in white was none other than Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo squinted, her upper garment open. Because she was dressed in men's clothing, she had no bodice or undergarment, revealing her full, firm breasts. Murong Feixue was smiling as she gently stroked Xiao Chuo's noticeably protruding belly, clearly indicating the presence of a small life.

Watching Murong Feixue's hand slowly slide over Xiao Chuo's belly, Liu Lang felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey, because he knew this child was his.

Xiao Chuo's face showed both worry and joy. She sighed and said, "Sister, if you think about it, the child in my belly should be the same size as yours. We both conceived that night at the Seven Star Tower, right?"

Murong Feixue nodded shyly.

1. Murong Feixue asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Chuo said, "I want to touch your baby."

Saying this, Xiao Chuo unbuttoned Murong Feixue's clothes, placed her hand on her swollen belly, and gently stroked it, saying, "Sister, I'm in the same predicament as you!"

Murong Feixue said, "What's so difficult for you? You are the Princess Consort of Prince Jing of Liao, and you hold great power. Who would dare to make things difficult for you?" Xiao Chuo sighed

, "That's precisely why I hold such a high position and power. Every move I make attracts suspicion. Prince Qi, Yelü Sage, already knows that Prince Jing is infertile. Now, the brothers are like oil and water, vying for power, both wanting to inherit the throne of Emperor Muzong of Liao. If I do something so outrageous, will I have any chance of survival?"

Murong Feixue nodded, saying, "I see."

Xiao Chuo shook her head, saying, "This is truly difficult for me. I really want to abort this child..."

"No!"

Liu Lang could no longer contain himself and rushed forward, startling Murong Feixue and Xiao Chuo.

Liu Lang looked slightly panicked and hugged Xiao Chuo, saying, "Xiao Chuo, this is my child! How could you abort him?"

Seeing that it was Liu Lang, Xiao Chuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then her face darkened. She said, "It's all your fault! You've made me unable to return home or serve my country, living in constant fear, guarding against this and that..."

Liu Lang stroked Xiao Chuo's slightly protruding belly and said, "How could this happen? Don't your family support you?"

Xiao Chuo said solemnly, "My father is a high-ranking official of the Liao Dynasty, the head of the Northern Court's Inspectorate. Moreover, the Xiao family is the most prestigious family in the Liao Dynasty. I can say that if I do something, it will affect the whole family. If people find out that I've been having an affair and am pregnant with an illegitimate child, the entire family will suffer! Waaah!"

As she spoke, Xiao Chuo cried sadly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang retorted unhappily, "What are you saying? Is my child a bastard?"

He then tried to comfort Xiao Chuo, "You're overthinking it! What's done is done, the child is already conceived. Don't you want to give birth to him? To willingly forfeit the right to be a mother for a mere title of princess—you'll regret it even more!"

Liu Lang paused, glancing at Murong Feixue, causing her to blush.

Liu Lang continued, "Look at my sister-in-law, your cousin. They gave up everything just to have a child, simply to be a mother! Xiao Chuo, you need to be more open-minded. Aren't you just afraid that if this matter is exposed, it will threaten your Xiao family's position in the Liao Dynasty? If one day my army tramples the Liao grasslands, will you still think this way?"

"I…I actually really like this child,"

Xiao Chuo finally confessed.

Liu Lang embraced Xiao Chuo and said, "I know you're in a very awkward situation in the Liao Dynasty. Xiao Chuo, it's my fault. I took your body and made you bear my child, but I can't take care of you. But you can take your parents to Feihu City! I can protect you, and we have so many soldiers, are we afraid of Emperor Muzong of Liao?"

Xiao Chuo shook her head and said, "Liu Lang, things aren't as simple as you think. The Xiao family has over a thousand members, and many of them hold important positions in the Liao Dynasty. Even if I had the most persuasive tongue, I couldn't tell you all about them." "I admire them! But if something happens to me because of this, these people will definitely be implicated."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "You're right, but we can't let our child sacrifice in vain!"

Xiao Chuo said anxiously, "I'm trying to think of a way, aren't I?" Liu Lang said

, "So, you didn't want to abort the child in the first place!"

Xiao Chuo snorted and said, "You heartless wretch, if you want to harm my child, you'll have to take my life first!"

As she spoke, Xiao Chuo's brows furrowed with murderous intent, and she struck a pose as if she were ready to fight anyone.

Although Liu Lang was scolded, he was secretly pleased and couldn't help but kiss Xiao Chuo on the cheek, saying, "So you love this unborn child so much! I support you. If anyone dares to lay a hand on him, you and I will fight them to the death."

Xiao Chuo's murderous aura vanished, her expression softening as she leaned into Liu Lang's arms, saying, "Liu Lang, your words are enough! But I'm truly in a dilemma. Prince Qi now holds immense power, even the Emperor listens to him, while Prince Jing is inherently weak and has become somewhat self-destructive. Therefore, my position in court is precarious. I even suspect Prince Qi intends to poison us."

Murong Feixue asked, "Brothers from the same mother, would they really be so heartless?"

Xiao Chuo replied, "Emperor Muzong of Liao is advanced in years and has no heir, so he is eager to establish a crown prince. The three who can inherit the throne are Prince Qi, Yelü Sage, my useless husband, and Prince Zhao, Yelü Hongduo. And..." " Judging from the current situation, the Prince of Qi is the most likely candidate to ascend the throne. However, the imperial court has always been rife with infighting. Throughout history, which emperor seized the throne without killing several of his own brothers? If he hadn't, could he have obtained the throne?"

Liu Lang said, "That's right. When Emperor Taizong of Tang ascended the throne, he killed two of his own brothers in one fell swoop. So, to achieve great things, one must be ruthless."

Xiao Chuo continued, "When Emperor Muzong of Liao ascended the throne, he also seized power. He killed four of his brothers in one fell swoop to preserve his current empire. The Prince of Qi, Yelü Sage, is even more ruthless than his uncle. Therefore, the Prince of Jing and the Prince of Zhao are thorns in his side, and he has long wanted to remove them as soon as possible."

Liu Lang sighed and said... "Xiao Chuo, why don't you strike first? Eliminate Yelü Sage and Yelü Hongduo, and your Xiao family will be safe and sound!"

Xiao Chuo replied, "How easy is that? Yelü Sage isn't brainless. While I was building the Black Tiger Hall and cultivating my power, he also established the Flying Eagle Hall in the Southern Courtyard, recruiting a large number of experts. His two strategists are top-tier experts in the Asura Realm. Moreover, Yelü Sage is the Grand Marshal of the Liao Dynasty, wielding immense military power. Overthrowing him is no easy task."

Liu Lang said, "This Yelü Sage is truly outrageous! Given time, I'll personally deal with him."

Murong Feixue asked, "Xiao Chuo, what do you plan to do?" "We have to think of a way! Why don't you just disappear and live in Feihu City, then go back after you give birth to the child?"

Liu Lang said, "That's a good idea."

Xiao Chuo shook her head and said, "The emperor of the Liao Dynasty no longer trusts me, and I suspect it has something to do with Yelü Sage. I was originally in charge of making all the decisions regarding Cheng Shijie's matter, but now the emperor won't let me handle it anymore. Coincidentally, the Mongol Khan tribe in the north is rebelling, and I will soon be ordered to go north to assist Prince Zhao, Yelü Hongduo, in quelling the rebellion."

Liu Lang said worriedly, "We've finally met, and now I won't be able to see you again! Besides, what about the child in your belly?"

As he spoke, Liu Lang stroked Xiao Chuo's belly.

Xiao Chuo said, "You're ten months pregnant. It's not too late to keep it a secret. Besides, winter is approaching. If you wear thick clothes, who will notice?"

Liu Lang said worriedly, "Are you going to the far north alone? I'm worried. Why don't I go with you?"

Xiao Chuo said, "Liu Lang, you have a heavy responsibility and are a favorite of Emperor Taizong of Song. He's counting on you for his help. How could I dare to trouble you?"

Liu Lang said, "You're clearly mocking me. I insist on going with you."

Xiao Chuo said, "But if you leave, the border will be leaderless, which will give Yelü Sage an opportunity. On the other hand, if you stay here for a long time, it will give Yelü Sage a lot of headaches. Now that Emperor Muzong of Liao has returned to Huanglong Prefecture, he has handed over all military and political power to Yelü Sage. Your appearance has disrupted his plans, and Cheng Shijie is unable to coordinate with him. In addition, the supply of provisions is insufficient. Yelü Sage may not be able to delay any longer."

Liu Lang said in surprise: "I never imagined my existence would be so important!"

Xiao Chuo nodded and said, "Indeed! You've occupied Feihu City, Woniu Pass, and Jietang Pass, effectively blocking Cheng Shijie's army in Shanxi. Yelü Sage doesn't have a sure chance of victory and doesn't dare to advance rashly."

Murong Feixue asked, "Then why hasn't Cheng Shijie made a move?"

Xiao Chuo said, "Cheng Shijie has always liked to take advantage of others. When he cooperated with me before, the conditions I offered him were quite satisfactory, but now that it's Yelü Sage, he's dissatisfied. So he doesn't want to send troops, even though he really wants to avenge the arrow wound and reclaim the three passes. Cheng Shijie is unwilling to be used by Yelü Sage. As far as I know, Cheng Shijie has secretly contacted Li Deming, the military governor of Xiliang. He's very likely to submit to Li Deming and then use the powerful strength of the Uyghurs to contend for supremacy in the Central Plains."

Liu Lang cursed, "That Cheng Shijie is a real old fox. He surrenders to this one today and that one tomorrow. Doesn't he have any shame?"

Xiao Chuo continued, " Yelü Sage might seek peace with the Song Dynasty, but it's also possible he harbors ulterior motives and has some other schemes. In any case, you must be careful and not act rashly. When I came to Feihu City, I saw that your city defenses were very well done, and this will be an advantage against Yelü Sage. Do not engage in large-scale battles with him. It's not that I'm trying to boost his morale or demoralize you, but the Liao cavalry is invincible. If you were to fight them on the battlefield, your tens of thousands of men probably wouldn't last even half an hour.”

Liu Lang exclaimed in surprise, “So powerful?”

Xiao Chuo said, “Although the Liao cavalry is strong, the rivers and lakes south of the Yi River are crisscrossed, especially after crossing the Yellow River, south of the Yangtze River is a vast expanse of water. Therefore, even the most powerful cavalry will find it difficult to advance. So neither the Song nor the Liao can easily annihilate the other.”

Liu Lang said, “Xiao Chuo, after hearing what you say, I understand…”

Xiao Chuo asked, “What do you understand?”

Liu Lang's hands climbed onto Xiao Chuo's breasts… He laughed, "The world is vast, but I am vast. Let those bastards fight it out. We'll sit back and watch them fight. Let's drink and be merry today, die under the peony, and be a romantic ghost..."

Xiao Chuo retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Murong Feixue laughed, "Sister, he means that a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold! We've been apart for so long, and talking about a bunch of boring national affairs won't change anything. It's better to..."

Xiao Chuo pushed Murong Feixue away, both ashamed and angry, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Lang leaned in and kissed Xiao Chuo and then Murong Feixue, saying to them, "That's exactly what I meant. Xiao Chuo, I've missed you terribly since we parted at the Yi River. If it weren't for our different stances, the Song and Liao dynasties being like fire and water, I would have come to find you! Tell me, have you missed me?"

Xiao Chuo said shyly, "No, why would I miss you?"

Liu Lang didn't believe her and slipped his hand under Xiao Chuo's belt.

Xiao Fu giggled, stopping Liu Lang's actions, saying, "Liu Lang, no! Sister's here."

Murong Feixue laughed, "Little sister, remember how you used to talk so eloquently and knowledgeably to me? Why are you so reserved today? Do you think Liu Lang isn't proactive enough?"

As she spoke, Murong Feixue actually helped Liu Lang strip Xiao Chuo naked.

Xiao Chuo said, "Sister, I didn't expect you to be even more open than me!"

Murong Feixue said, "Don't tease me. I have no choice. Ever since I've been with this little rascal, I've become like this!"

Saying this, Murong Feixue stripped naked herself.

At this moment, Liu Lang, Murong Feixue, and Xiao Chuo were playfully embracing each other.

Xiao Chuo's body was extremely alluring; her watery eyes overflowed with spring-like passion, and her smooth, fair skin was rosy and beautiful. A hint of melancholy hidden within her beauty filled Liu Lang with tenderness, and he couldn't help but pull her into his arms, saying, "My darling, how do you want to come today?"

Xiao Chuo replied wistfully, "I've been worried about you day and night, but I never imagined you'd be indulging in a den of beauties every day, secretly seeing so many beautiful women behind my back. Have you already forgotten about me?"

Liu Lang put his arm around Xiao Chuo's waist, stroked her back with his other hand, and rubbed his head against her forehead, saying softly, "How could I forget you? Although I have several beauties around me, which one can compare to your intelligence and beauty? Which one can compare to your martial arts skills? It's not easy for me to survive in the Song Dynasty! If I don't cultivate my own forces, everyone will want to ride on my head. But now I have soldiers and generals in my hands, who would dare to mess with me?"

As he spoke, Liu Lang caressed Xiao Chuo's full breasts.

Feeling Liu Lang's caresses, Xiao Chuo lightly slapped his shoulder and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying! Even if you want to increase your strength, you don't need to find so many beauties! I heard there's another batch at Woniu Pass?"

"Huh?"

Liu Lang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Murong Feixue, and saw her covering her mouth and chuckling. He knew she must have leaked the secret. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Xiao Chuo, I'm doing this for your own good! Think about it, not only am I highly skilled in martial arts now, but my skills in that area are also superb. Ordinary people simply can't handle me. If I don't find you a few helpers, you won't have an easy time in the future!"

Xiao Chuo said disdainfully, "Bragging!"

Liu Lang said, "It seems you still don't believe in my abilities. Then watch me show you."

Liu Lang used all his skills, his large hands roaming over Xiao Chuo's breasts, slender waist, full hips, and pink back, and he held her pearly earlobe in his mouth. The hot breath he exhaled made Xiao Chuo feel confused and infatuated.

"Ah!"

Xiao Chuo couldn't help but groan, pressing her body tightly against Liu Lang. Having been deprived of his touch for so long, her body was extremely sensitive. Whenever Liu Lang touched her, her body trembled slightly, offering no resistance. She writhed in his arms.

Murong Feixue even aided Liu Lang, her jade-like hands constantly caressing Xiao Chuo's most sensitive areas, giving her even more intense pleasure.

"Liu Lang, sister! Stop it..."

Xiao Chuo gasped, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She pressed her hands firmly against Liu Lang's large hands, a pleading look in her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Chuo's anxious expression, Liu Lang stopped what he was doing and simply held her close. Suddenly, he leaned down, pressing his ear against her flat stomach, and said, "Let me listen to see if the baby is being naughty!"

Looking at Liu Lang, who was like a child, a maternal glow shone on Xiao Chuo's face. She said, "Look at you, how old is the baby? How can you hear it now?"

"Feixue, is Xiao Chuo's baby the same size as the baby in your belly?"

Liu Lang's large hand gently massaged Xiao Chuo's lower abdomen, while he listened intently.

"Of course, it all happened on the same day because of you!"

Thinking of that passionate encounter, Murong Feixue blushed deeply.

Liu Lang listened to Xiao Chuo's lower abdomen for a while before raising his head to look at her...

Looking at Xiao Chuo's radiant beauty, the infatuated look in her eyes ignited Liu Lang's desire.

Seeing the burning desire in Liu Lang's eyes, Xiao Chuo could also feel her body burning. Her beautiful eyes seemed to overflow with tears, and the faint red on her body made her even more radiant.

"Xiao Chuo! I've missed you so much, let me make it up to you and reward you properly!"

Looking at Xiao Chuo's alluring, aroused appearance, Liu Lang's heart warmed. His large hand immediately slipped between her legs, kneading her fragrant buttocks and the crevice of her inner thighs.

"Liu Lang!"

Xiao Chuo hugged Liu Lang tightly, her face flushed like a peach blossom, twisting her body vigorously, her breasts rubbing against Liu Lang's chest, saying, "Give it to me quickly! I've been waiting for so long."

After Liu Lang's large hand had been working on Xiao Chuo's lower body for a while, it continued upwards. He grasped Xiao Chuo's full breasts, sucking on her incredibly tempting nipples.

Xiao Chuo trembled instantly, letting out soft moans, crying out, "Liu Lang, hurry, I can't wait any longer!"

As she spoke, Xiao Chuo's jade-like hands explored between Liu Lang's legs; the emptiness within her made her only want Liu Lang to satisfy her desires as soon as possible.

"Sixth Brother!"

Xiao Chuo finally grasped Sixth Brother's burning hot penis, then she thrust out her breasts and let Sixth Brother play with them.

"Give it to me quickly!"

As she spoke, love fluid flowed between Xiao Chuo's legs, showing how empty she was at this moment!

"Baby!"

Sixth Brother probed Xiao Chuo's lower body and found it was indeed wet. He could no longer resist, so he parted her jade legs and gently thrust in, entering that long-missed private place.

"Xiao Chuo!"

Saying this, Sixth Brother grabbed Xiao Chuo's rounded fragrant shoulders, and the two were completely united.

With Sixth Brother's thrusts, Xiao Chuo's body swayed up and down, her breasts and buttocks forming a breathtaking arc, and every thrust of Sixth Brother reached the deepest part of her body. The soul-stirring pleasure made her groan.

After a period of intoxicating passion, Xiao Chuo was brought to the peak of pleasure by Liu Lang. Her body went limp, and she pleaded, "Liu Lang, you're so amazing! I can't take it anymore! Please have mercy!"

Liu Lang continued his actions, saying, "No, I haven't shown you my true skills yet!"

Each thrust sent shivers down Xiao Chuo's spine, a mixture of pain and sweetness. She cried, "I've already experienced it! You're the best! You've completely conquered me! Let me rest for a while, sister! Help!"

Seeing this, Murong Feixue rushed over. Liu Lang, seeing Xiao Chuo was no longer able to resist, reluctantly withdrew his penis from her body, then lifted Murong Feixue onto Xiao Chuo's lap and entered her from behind, holding her beautiful buttocks. Liu Lang didn't know when he had come to enjoy this position, especially when riding two women; the exhilarating feeling of riding them was truly exhilarating, especially since the woman beneath him was so exceptional.

At this moment, Xiao Chuo took the opportunity to caress Murong Feixue's breasts, playing with them carefully.

Seeing Xiao Chuo's skillful touch, Murong Feixue felt great pleasure and said, "Sister, I sincerely wanted to help you, but you took the opportunity to bully me with Liu Lang! You have no conscience!"

Xiao Chuo replied, "Who told you to bully me from the beginning? I'm a person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and I always avenge wrongs. Besides, weren't you enjoying yourself too?"

At this moment, Murong Feixue, due to Liu Lang's rapid advances, couldn't argue with Xiao Chuo. With a series of soft moans, her buttocks trembled, and she collapsed onto Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo laughed, "Sister, you're really useless! You've already given up so quickly!"

Murong Feixue's body was still convulsing, her full breasts rubbing against Xiao Chuo, uttering indistinct murmurs, breathing slightly heavily, her appearance extremely alluring.

"Feixue!"

Liu Lang's heart skipped a beat. He wrapped his arms tightly around Murong Feixue's waist, pressing their bodies together without any gap.

"Is this comfortable?"

Liu Lang thrust forward forcefully, but stopped his thrusting.

Murong Feixue gasped, "This feels so good. If you move, I can't take it anymore."

Liu Lang nodded, thrusting forcefully for a while, then said, "But I can't keep doing this. I'm burning up!"

Murong Feixue said, "Isn't Xiao Chuo down there? Her martial arts are better than mine. Go find her!"

Xiao Chuo said urgently, "Sister! How can you measure this with martial arts? I won't do it!"

With a wicked grin, Liu Lang shifted his burning erection, saying, "That won't do, I need to vent!"

He then launched into a frenzied assault. Despite Xiao Chuo's exceptional martial arts skills, she lacked experience. At first, she could barely hold on, but later she crumbled, fainting from pleasure. Liu Lang seized the opportunity to ejaculate his scalding semen inside her.

After resting for a while, Liu Lang embraced a beautiful woman in each arm, saying, "Xiao Chuo, from now on, whether it's the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty, they will all eventually submit to you. I believe in you, and I will support you!"

Xiao Chuo lay contentedly in Liu Lang's arms, her jade-like hand stroking his erection, saying, "Liu Lang, you've finally figured it out, are you willing to help me conquer the world?"

Liu Lang nodded, saying, "I've realized the importance of power. Nothing is greater than me. If I'm going to be a king, I'll be the strongest. But this isn't just for myself, it's for you. I can help you do what you want."

Xiao Chuo smiled sweetly and kissed Liu Lang on the cheek.

“I was wrong before. I originally wanted to help Prince Jing dominate the Liao Dynasty, but his cowardice made all my efforts go to waste. If he had listened to me, he would have been able to replace Yelü Sage in his current position two years ago. But he couldn't let go of his brotherly affection. Cowardice can never lead to great things! I'm not instigating him to kill his brother and father, but teaching him to protect himself. Because once Prince Qi ascends the throne, not only will Prince Jing be in danger, but our Xiao family will also be implicated. I don't want to see such an outcome.”

Liu Lang asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Xiao Chuo said, “Under the guise of quelling the rebellion, I want to cultivate a force that belongs only to me at Yuti Pass.” Even if the King of Qi ascends the throne one day, I will still hold a large army and have no reason to fear him.”

Murong Feixue said, “This is called ‘a general in the field may disobey the emperor’s orders!’ That’s exactly what Liu Lang is doing now. Xiao Chuo, did you just learn this from Liu Lang?”

Xiao Chuo laughed and said, “Yes! After I came to Feihu City, I found your army to be quite special. Although their combat strength is not very strong, their discipline is very strict, especially in that they only obey your orders, Liu Lang. That’s why I had this idea.”

Liu Lang said, “Good! So you came here to learn from me. Now that you’ve learned it, you should thank me properly!”

That night, Liu Lang and Xiao Chuo spent a tender night together!

The next day, when Liu Lang woke up, Murong Feixue and Xiao Chuo were already dressed, and Xiao Chuo said she had to leave immediately.

Seeing that there was no point in keeping Xiao Chuo any longer, Liu Lang gave her some instructions and then asked Murong Feixue to escort Xiao Chuo out of the city.

Before leaving, Xiao Chuo's eyes filled with tears. She rushed to Liu Lang and gave him a deep kiss. The straightforwardness of the Liao woman stirred Liu Lang's blood. He said, "Xiao Chuo, just go with peace of mind. Prepare the troops at Yuti Pass. I will definitely help you reclaim the Mongol Khan tribe." Upon hearing this,

Xiao Chuo tearfully bid farewell to Liu Lang.

After returning to the mansion, Liu Lang first listened to yesterday's report about Feihu City, then had Lu Xueyao arrange today's work, and then had breakfast with the women.

After Murong Feixue returned, she gestured to Liu Lang with her eyes that Xiao Chuo had already left Feihu City.

Liu Lang nodded, feeling a slight loneliness in his heart. Recalling his intimate moments with Xiao Chuo yesterday, he was lost in thought and forgot to eat breakfast.

Although the women guessed that Liu Lang was preoccupied, none of them dared to disturb his thoughts. Only Yang Sijie understood Liu Lang's worries. She sighed inwardly, nudged Liu Lang, and said, "Father might be escorting us to Feihu City in the next couple of days. We should prepare."

Liu Lang snapped out of his reverie and nodded, saying, "Sijie, then you personally lead a force to Siping Mountain to welcome Father. We must not give the Liao a chance to take advantage."

Yang Sijie accepted the order and, along with Lan Mengdie, led a thousand soldiers to Siping Mountain.

After arranging the day's tasks, Liu Lang went with Lu Xueyao to watch the new army's battle. In their busyness, the morning passed quickly.

At noon, Liu Lang received a report from a scout that Zhao Guangyi, accompanied by Pan Renmei, Wang Ze, and Yang Linggong, had left Waqiao Pass and was heading towards Feihu City.

Liu Lang said, "I don't know what got into the Emperor, insisting on making a trip to my territory. Is he here to encourage us, or is he worried about my military power and is secretly coming to inspect?"

Murong Feixue said, "Both reasons are possible, but according to my analysis, the Emperor probably has some intelligence and wants to make some decision. Is it just as Xiao Chuo said, that the Liao Dynasty is already considering peace talks?" Liu Lang

was stunned and said, "Is that really possible?"

Lu Xueyao said, "According to the intelligence we have, the Liao Dynasty has stopped supplying the front lines these days, which indicates that they do indeed have the possibility of retreating. After all, the loss of 600,000 troops..." "The cost is enormous, and the Liao Dynasty can't afford to drag this out any longer. Peace talks wouldn't be a bad thing for them."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "In that case, let's line up to welcome His Majesty! Order my general to lead the entire army to meet His Majesty sixty li south of the city gate."

Liu Lang personally led the army to meet Zhao Guangyi sixty li south of Feihu City. It wasn't until nightfall that they saw banners waving in the distance, followed by Zhao Guangyi's Imperial Guard, numbering about three or four thousand, all cavalry. In the middle was a golden-topped chariot, which appeared to be Zhao Guangyi's. It stopped before approaching Liu Lang, who quickly dismounted and went to greet him.

The commander of the guards personally opened the carriage curtain, and Zhao Guangyi leaned out, saying, "My dear minister, no need for such formalities. We'll talk again when we reach Feihu City."

Liu Lang rose, then greeted Yang Linggong and Pan Renmei. Looking around, he saw that Si Niang and the Yang family generals were also present. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This is bad. If my brothers see my sisters-in-law and, having not seen them for so long, insist on getting close, wouldn't that be troublesome?"

Liu Lang led the way, and the large group entered Feihu City.

At this moment, Liu Lang quietly asked Murong Feixue, "Feixue, this is bad! They're all here! What should we do?"

Murong Feixue calmly replied, "Let them come. What's there to be afraid of?"

Liu Lang tossed the reins to his personal guard, leaned close to Murong Feixue's ear, and said, "I'm afraid you'll make me a turtle!"

Murong Feixue covered her mouth and smiled, giving a soft "humph," but said nothing.

Liu Lang was immediately flustered, but at that moment, General Yang said, "Liu Lang, quickly greet the Emperor!"

Liu Lang responded and stepped forward to greet him. After exchanging courtly greetings with Zhao Guangyi, the group entered the general's residence. Liu Lang arranged for Zhao Guangyi to rest in a well-prepared room.

After Zhao Guangyi took his seat, Pan Renmei and General Yang stood on either side of him.

Liu Lang asked, "Your Majesty, what brings you to Feihu City this time?"

Zhao Guangyi laughed heartily and said, "My dear minister, I have good news for you. The Liao army has sued for peace with me."

"Really?"

Liu Lang exclaimed with delight, cupping his hands in greeting. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Liao troops have ceased hostilities out of fear of the might of our Celestial Empire. It seems the people on the border can once again enjoy a period of peace."

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "Now the Grand Tutor is leading a large army stationed at Siping Mountain. I and the Liao Emperor will sign a ceasefire agreement there. After the Song-Liao peace treaty, you can deal with Cheng Shijie, right?"

Liu Lang replied, "Your Majesty, Cheng Shijie still retains considerable strength. Please provide me with an army then, and I will surely be able to bring Cheng Shijie to Bianjing for questioning."

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "Excellent! I will naturally provide you with troops then. I came here to lend my support, hehe."

Liu Lang quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Afterwards, Liu Lang prepared dinner for Zhao Guangyi. After the emperor and his minister finished their dinner together, they stayed overnight in Feihu City.

04-18
Chapter Six: Bloodbath at Jinshatan (Part 1)

The next day, after getting up, Liu Lang quickly arranged military affairs.

He was to accompany Zhao Guangyi to Siping Mountain, a decision he had considered beforehand. Although all the women wanted to go, he couldn't take them all with him. Therefore, he left Murong Feixue and Lu Xueyao to guard Feihu City,

while he, along with Yang Sijie, Miao Xueyan, Zi Ruoer, and Shen Lingmei, led three thousand Feihu soldiers to escort the emperor to Siping Mountain. Before their departure, Liu Lang noticed Murong Feixue whispering with Yang Dalang in a room. He went over to eavesdrop and discovered that

Murong Feixue, fearing something might happen, had hidden a hidden arrow in Yang Dalang's clothes for self-defense. After seeing the large contingent off from Feihu City, Murong Feixue watched the departing Yang family generals, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She sighed softly and waved goodbye from the city wall.

The large contingent marched towards Siping Mountain, where Liu Lang and the others met up with Wang Ze.

Zhao Guangyi entered the imperial tent, with civil and military officials lined up on either side.

Today was the day to sign the truce treaty with the Liao Dynasty, and Zhao Guangyi discussed the specific procedures and items to be agreed upon with his ministers.

At this moment, the central army reported, "Your Majesty, the Liao envoy has arrived."

Zhao Guangyi said, "It's not even time to sign the treaty yet, and the Liao people have already come! Summon them!"

Soon, the Liao envoy entered the tent and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song."

Zhao Guangyi asked, "Your Excellency, your Liao ruler once wrote to me, saying that the two countries should cease hostilities and that the treaty would be signed here tomorrow. What brings you here today?"

The Liao envoy said, "Your Majesty, my lord has recently fallen seriously ill and has come to instruct me to inform you that the signing of the treaty can only be postponed."

Zhao Guangyi angrily said, "How can such a matter of national importance be treated lightly? Emperor Muzong of Liao is also the Emperor of the Great Liao. Does he not know that a ruler's word is law?"

The Liao envoy said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. My lord is also in a difficult situation. He is seriously ill and unable to perform official duties. Such an important matter is inconvenient to entrust to a subject. I urge you to ..." " Your Majesty , please forgive

me," Zhao Guangyi said, suppressing his anger. "Emperor Muzong of Liao shouldn't have done that! He made me wait here for him, and now he, as the ruler of a nation, has broken his promise. How can he govern the country in the future?"

Liu Lang said, "I think you have no sincerity. Let's not discuss the contract. We can always have a decisive battle!" The Liao envoy said, "My lord, Emperor Muzong of Liao, entrusted me to come here not only to express his deepest apologies to Your Majesty, but also to tell Your Majesty that Your Majesty truly does not want this war to continue and longs to sign a contract with the Song Dynasty, so that the two countries can forever be brothers, weapons can be stored away, horses can graze freely, and there will be no more war in the world. The people of both countries can live in peace and prosperity. However, his health simply does not allow him to come to Siping Mountain. The Liao envoy said that if Your Majesty is willing, please move to Zijing Pass. My lord is willing to sign the contract on his sickbed."

Zhao Guangyi listened and fell into deep thought without speaking.

Pan Renmei said, "Your Majesty, the Liao people are cunning and treacherous; we must not trust them!"

Yang Linggong also said, "Yes, Your Majesty, do not believe them. We would rather return to Waqiao Pass and wait a few more days."

The Liao envoy sighed, "My lord's condition is very serious, and we do not know when he will recover. If he truly succumbs to this illness, it seems the flames of war on this pass will never be quelled."

Zhao Guangyi thought for a moment and said, "Go back and report to Emperor Muzong of Liao that I will personally go to Zijing Pass tomorrow to sign the cessation of hostilities at his bedside."

The Liao envoy smiled slightly and said, "The Song Emperor truly loves his people like his own children. For the sake of peace between our two countries as soon as possible, then the Song Emperor is here. I will immediately rush back to Zijing Pass to make all preparations. Tomorrow at 11:00 AM, at Zijing Pass..." "We respectfully welcome the Song Emperor at Jingguan."

After seeing off the Liao envoy, Zhao Guangyi said to his ministers, "It seems Emperor Muzong of Liao is truly distrustful of me, having changed the signing location of the treaty to Zijing Pass."

Yang Linggong said, "Your Majesty, we cannot rule out the possibility that Emperor Muzong of Liao is setting up a trap!"

Wang Ze said, "Didn't we already prepare a second plan?"

Zhao Guangyi laughed, "Grand Tutor, you are indeed a prophet. Quickly summon Yang Dalang to an audience."

Soon, Yang Dalang strode in from outside. Liu Lang was immediately taken aback. It turned out that Dalang was wearing imperial robes, and his entrance made him seem like another Emperor Taizong of Song. While Liu Lang was slightly surprised, he also had a vague feeling that a storm was brewing.

Zhao Guangyi chuckled and made way for Yang Dalang, offering him the seat of honor. He then sat beside Yang Dalang and asked, "My esteemed ministers, do you think we look alike?"

Wang Ze replied, "Your Majesty, we are remarkably alike, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Tomorrow, General Yang can go to Zijing Pass to meet Emperor Muzong of Liao."

Zhao Guangyi then said to Yang Linggong and Pan Renmei, "My two esteemed ministers, tomorrow Dalang will travel to Zijing Pass in my stead. You and General Yang Liulang will lead troops to protect him. Once you arrive at Zijing Pass, act according to the circumstances. If we can successfully sign the contract, all the better; otherwise..." "If they can sign the contract, it means the Liao Dynasty has no sincerity whatsoever. You can command your army and catch them off guard."

Liu Lang, Pan Renmei, and Yang Linggong replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Guangyi continued, "This time I have brought 100,000 troops to garrison here. Tomorrow, I will divide the troops here. I will give you 20,000 troops, while I will personally lead the other 80,000 troops to meet you all here. Do you have any objections?"

Pan Renmei said, "Then let's proceed according to plan. After we leave, please take care of Your Majesty's health."

Pan Renmei, Yang Linggong, Liu Lang, and Yang Dalang left the imperial tent and went to another large tent.

Si Niang, along with Yang Sijie, Miao Xueyan, Zi Ruoer, Shen Lingmei, Yang Erlang, Yang Sanlang, Yang Qilang, and Pan Bao, came to discuss matters. When Yang Sijie saw Yang Dalang, she was immediately taken aback. She scrutinized him for a long time before recognizing the emperor in his dragon robe as Yang Dalang. She couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, how can we address you like this!"

Yang Dalang sat down solemnly and said, "My dear ministers, if you have something to report, speak up; otherwise, dismiss the court."

Shen Lingmei suppressed a laugh and said, "Brother, you really do look like the emperor."

Yang Qilang stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Brother, I'm just a lowly battalion commander now. Could you perhaps bestow upon me a title like Sixth Brother's?" "A high-ranking official is coming to play?"

Liu Lang patted Yang Qi Lang's head and said, "Stop fooling around. Let's discuss serious matters first. Tomorrow's journey to Zijing Pass might be a den of dragons and tigers. Don't underestimate the Liao people. Let's discuss tomorrow's plan properly."

Yang Linggong nodded and said, "The journey to Zijing Pass is now irreversible. Lord Pan and I have previously studied the geographical location of the Zijing Pass area. Let's take a look."

Yang Linggong opened the map and pointed to the river in front of Zijing Pass, saying, "This is the Juma River. The river is currently turbulent. It's thirty miles from Zijing Pass. If the Liao army really intends to annihilate us, then the two bridges over the Juma River will be the battleground for the two armies."

Liu Lang said, "There are 600,000 Liao soldiers at Zijing Pass. We only have 10,000 troops. If something unexpected happens during the negotiations, we cannot fight the Liao soldiers head-on. We must find a way to preserve our strength and try to break through Zijing Pass. As long as we successfully cross the Juma River, it will be not far from Siping Mountain, and then we can..." "Once we join forces with the Emperor's troops, it won't be too late to fight the Liao army then."

General Yang nodded and said, "Therefore, we must hold these two bridges over the Juma River."

Pan Renmei said, "General, all the generals are here, so please divide the troops and assign generals!"

General Yang said, "Alright, tomorrow we will lead ten thousand troops to Zijing Pass. When we reach the Juma River, Shen Lingmei and Erlang, you will lead three thousand troops to hold the first bridge, which is also a necessary passage for us."

Shen Lingmei and Yang Erlang accepted the order.

Yang Linggong continued, "And then there's this second bridge, three li east of the first one. Ziruo'er, you and Sanlang will also lead three thousand soldiers to guard the bridge to ensure its safety. If war breaks out, and our army hasn't all withdrawn to the south bank of the Juma River, you must hold this bridge." Ziruo'er

and Yang Sanlang accepted the order.

Yang Linggong then said, "Mengluo, you're good at horsemanship. Tomorrow, you'll lead three thousand light cavalry to garrison the Jinshatan area on the north bank of the Juma River, ready to provide support at any time."

Yang Sijie said, "Father, if you give me three thousand soldiers, then you'll only have a thousand men left."

Yang Linggong said, "We're ostensibly going to sign the treaty. Even if we know the Liao are plotting something, we can't lead a large army into Zijing Pass! Besides, if a war really breaks out, it's impossible to bring ten thousand troops into Zijing Pass. Even if the Liao agrees, it won't stop them." "It would be better to hold the outer perimeter as a precaution. (3) If something unexpected does happen, speed is of the essence, and it wouldn't be difficult for us to break through Zijing Pass in time."

After making the arrangements, General Yang asked Pan Renmei, "Does Your Excellency have anything to add?"

Pan Renmei replied, "Let's follow your plan, General. Let's join forces and see what tricks the Liao people have up their sleeves!"

The plan for tomorrow's trip to Zijing Pass was thus finalized. After everyone dispersed, Liu Lang returned to his tent, and Yang Sijie, seeing that he was sullen, asked, "Liu Lang, are you feeling down because of yesterday?" "What happened tonight? Are you unhappy?"

Liu Lang shook his head and said, "No, it's not that. Tomorrow we're heading to Zijing Pass. The outcome is uncertain, and I'm worried about it!"

Yang Sijie said, "What are you afraid of? When you went to Taiyuan to meet Cheng Shijie, didn't you only have a few hundred men with you? Now, although you're going to meet the Liao people and don't have a master like my sister-in-law to help you, don't you still have us?"

Miao Xueyan said, "Yes, Sixth Master, don't worry. At worst, we'll fight the Liao army to the death."

Liu Lang said, "I'm really worried that something might happen. I have a feeling... " "I have a premonition that tomorrow's journey will be filled with bloodshed."

Shen Lingmei and Zi Ruo'er both tried to dissuade Liu Lang, saying, "Didn't Father already arrange for troops to meet us? Liu Lang, don't be afraid. I will definitely help you guard the bridge. Besides, the Liao army might not be as bad as we imagine!"

Yang Sijie said, "Yes, didn't Xiao Chuo say that the Liao army intends to seek peace? Recently, they have stopped supplying food and fodder to Zijing Pass."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "I hope so. Today we must conserve our strength and march on Zijing Pass tomorrow."

The next morning, at the Song army camp on Siping Mountain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three signal cannon shots rang out, and a large flock of birds flew up in alarm from their roosting forests, crossing the rising sun.

After the noisy birdsong subsided, everything returned to silence.

Yang Dalang, the fake Emperor Taizong of Song, dressed in full armor, mounted his horse, and accompanied by Yang Linggong, Pan Renmei, and Liu Lang, the army set off.

Yang Sijie led three thousand Dragon Tiger Guard cavalry in a galloping procession, kicking up billowing dust. The thunderous sound of hooves mingled with the clanging of swords, and amidst the puffs of breath from the warhorses, they headed straight for the Juma River. Behind the cavalry were the infantry led by Shen Lingmei and Zi Ruo'er, their heavy, uniform footsteps and the rhythmic thud of their armor like distant thunder, rolling across the boundless plain with unstoppable momentum.

The raging mountain wind whipped up the dust beneath their feet, and billowing heat escaped from their armor. The black battle flags fluttered in the wind, their red banners particularly striking, bearing the large red characters "Song" (宋). Last to set off was the Imperial Guard's honor guard, a thousand or so warhorses, snorting as they galloped towards the Juma River.

Upon reaching the Juma River, the scouts ahead had yet to detect any movement from the Liao army.

Yang Sijie returned on horseback and said, "Father, we've reached the Juma River. Should our army cross it?"

Yang Linggong looked at the wide river and said to Shen Lingmei, Zi Ruoer, Yang Erlang, and Yang Sanlang, "You split your forces here and hold the two bridges. The rest of you will cross the river with us, heading straight for Zijing Pass."

After crossing the river, Yang Sijie stationed three thousand Dragon Tiger Guard light cavalry at Jinshatan. Then, she ordered all soldiers not to remove their armor or dismount, and to be ready to respond to any situation at Zijing Pass.

Liulang put away the signal flare, and both sides agreed that if anything happened at Zijing Pass, Yang Sijie would lead her cavalry to provide support.

Liu Lang led his army straight to the walls of Zijing Pass. Three cannon shots rang out from within the city, and the city gates swung open. A troop of soldiers came out to greet them. The leader was over ten feet tall, with a broad back and a powerful build, wearing golden armor and a robe with dragon patterns. Upon approaching, he dismounted and bowed to Yang Dalang with one hand on his chest, saying, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I am Yelü Sage, the Southern King of the Liao Kingdom. I have come to welcome Your Majesty, the Song Emperor, by the decree of my Liao ruler. Please enter the city."

Dalang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Lead the way."

Yelü Sage mounted his horse and led the Song army into Zijing Pass.

Liu Lang observed his surroundings and noticed that the Liao soldiers guarding the south gate of Zijing Pass all had grim expressions and a hint of murderous intent. It seemed they had been prepared for this for a long time; today's Zijing Pass was undoubtedly the legendary Feast at Hongmen.

Liu Lang whispered to Miao Xueyan, "Yanzi, judging from the Liao army's appearance, they don't seem to want to negotiate with us. Let's be prepared!"

Miao Xueyan nodded and said, "Sixth Master, Cheng Shijie's place is also heavily guarded, but we still managed to break through successfully, didn't we? I'll be careful, and you must take care too."

Arriving at the commander's mansion at Zijing Pass, Yelü Sage dismounted and said, "This is my commander's mansion ahead. My lord, Emperor Muzong of Liao, is currently recuperating inside. The signing of the treaty will also take place here. Please, Your Majesty, dismount."

Yang Dalang smiled and dismounted, entering the mansion surrounded by his generals, while Yang Qilang and Pan Bao led the Imperial Guards to stand guard outside.

After entering the main hall of the mansion, the guests and hosts took their seats, and Yelü Sage immediately ordered tea to be prepared.

Yang Dalang asked, "Your Majesty Yelü, I heard that Emperor Muzong of Liao has unfortunately fallen seriously ill. Since I am here, I should visit the Liao Emperor."

Yelü Sage said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. On behalf of my lord, Emperor Muzong of Liao, I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty. However, my lord's condition is very serious, and he is currently receiving treatment from the imperial physician. Let us have lunch first, and then I will take you to see my lord to sign the contract. What do you say?"

Yang Dalang looked at Yang Linggong and Pan Renmei. Seeing Yang Linggong nod, Yang Dalang said to Yelü Sage, "Then it is Your Majesty's suggestion."

At this moment, Liulang felt very worried. He looked at the scene in the main hall of the commander's mansion. Yelü Sage was surrounded by generals with murderous expressions, with only one or two civil officials. Xiao Erdan and Anawulong, whom he had fought with at Black Wind Village, were both present. In addition, there was a fat monk with a fierce look next to Yelü Sage, who looked like no good person.

Liu Lang picked up his teacup, glanced around, and whispered to Yang Linggong, "Father, the atmosphere here is clearly off. I feel our situation is extremely dangerous!"

Yang Linggong nodded, "I can see that too, but since we're here, we should make the best of it and act accordingly."

At this moment, the banquet was ready, and alluring Khitan women carried copper platters, bringing out dish after dish, while Yelü Sage accompanied Yang Dalang, chatting and eating.

Yelü Sage picked up his wine cup and said, "Your Majesty, in the past two years, the war between Song and Liao has been constant, causing enormous losses, and the people of both countries have suffered greatly from the war. Once the ceasefire agreement is signed today, the people of both countries will be freed from their misery!"

Yang Dalang said, "This is a great blessing for the Song Dynasty, a great blessing for the Liao Dynasty, and a great blessing for the entire world. King Yelü, we should have done this long ago."

With that, Yang Dalang and Yelü Sage drank a cup together.

Yelü Sage said, "Since the Song emperor is sincere in seeking peace, then I have one more request. If the Song emperor agrees, we will immediately go to see our lord, Emperor Muzong of Liao."

Yang Dalang asked, "What is it? Please speak, Your Majesty Yelü."

Yelü Sage said, "On the eve of this war, the Song army deployed a total of 300,000 troops. I am telling the truth."

Yang Dalang looked at Pan Renmei.

Pan Renmei said, "That's right, but I don't know what this has to do with the contract?"

Yelü Sage smiled and said, "And our Great Liao has deployed 600,000 troops for this, isn't that a fact?"

Liu Lang couldn't help but say, "It's a fact, but so what?"

Yelü Sage snorted coldly and said, "Has the Song Emperor read the agreement?"

Yang Dalang said, "I have read it with my own eyes."

Yelü Sage said, "Then has the Song Emperor agreed to everything?"

Yang Dalang said somewhat unhappily, "Is Your Majesty Yelü asking a question you already know the answer to? If I didn't agree, would I have come to Zijing Pass?"

Yelü Sage said, "Then please, Song Emperor, considering that our Great Liao has deployed 300,000 more troops than the Great Song, compensate our Great Liao with 300,000 shi of grain and 3 million guan of copper coins. This is the additional condition for today."

Yang Dalang immediately became angry and said, "There is no such clause in the agreement. You are just making excuses. Are you going back on your word?"

Liu Lang couldn't help but... Standing up, Yelü Sage said, "You barbarian king are even more unreasonable than me! Why should we give you so much money? According to you, the Liao army only has 300,000 more soldiers than the Song army. Fine, then our Great Song has plenty of elite troops. We'll immediately lead 600,000 troops to Waqiao Pass. Shouldn't your Great Liao compensate us with 300,000 shi of grain and 3 million guan of copper coins?"

Yelü Sage sneered, "General, you think it's too simple. Do you think Zijing Pass is a place where you can come and go as you please? Sending another 600,000 troops won't change your situation at Zijing Pass. If this agreement can't be reached, then you can prepare to retire at Zijing Pass!"

Yang Dalang said angrily, "You barbarian king are indeed unreasonable and untrustworthy. I think it's better not to sign this ceasefire agreement. Gentlemen, let's go!"

Before everyone could stand up, a pair of Liao imperial guards, armed with swords and spears, rushed in and guarded the door.

Yelü Sage sneered again, saying, "Didn't I say? You won't leave until the contract is signed."

The eldest son was instantly enraged, knowing a bloody battle was inevitable. As the eldest son of the Yang family, he was the most cowardly. Seeing his brothers becoming increasingly successful, he, as the elder brother, felt both pride and shame. He recalled how Murong Feixue had prevented him from getting close a few days ago, clearly disliking his weakness. Today, he had come to Zijing Pass on behalf of Zhao Guangyi, hoping to make a name for himself, but instead, he had encountered this situation. Seeing no hope for peace talks, why not seize this opportunity to kill Yelü Sage? Even if the contract wasn't signed, it would still enhance the military prestige of the Song Dynasty and become a legend.

The eldest son stared at Yelü Sage, his facial muscles trembling.

Yelü Sage, sensing Yang Dalang's displeasure, sneered and said, "Song Emperor, what is your opinion? Don't let a mere few million coins damage our harmony."

Although Yang Dalang wasn't skilled in martial arts, he wasn't completely ignorant. Moreover, Murong Feixue had fitted him with a hidden dart before her departure, and he had practiced it several times in his tent the previous night. He was now determined to kill Yelü Sage with the dart.

Yang Dalang stared at Yelü Sage's sneer, slowly raised his left hand, pointed at Yelü Sage, and said angrily, "King Yelü, you have no shame!"

With that, Yang Dalang adjusted the angle of the dart's launch, then suddenly struck the firing mechanism with his right hand. With a creak, a cold light shot towards Yelü Sage.

Liu Lang, unaware that Yang Dalang had concealed a hidden dart, was preparing to entangle Yelü Sage to buy time, wait for his signal, and then try to escape the commander's mansion and break out through the south gate. Unexpectedly, Yang Dalang made his move!

With a flash of cold light, Yelü Sage

let out a scream and fell to the ground, causing chaos in the scene. The Liao army's Imperial Guards rushed forward.

Liu Lang shouted, "It's come to this! Everyone, attack! Fight them!"

Yang Linggong and Si Niang each drew their swords and kicked over the table in front of them, while Pan Renmei also drew his sword. Several highly skilled lieutenants beside them also rushed forward. The hundred or so Imperial Guards waiting in the courtyard, having heard the commotion, engaged in a melee with the Liao Imperial Guards.

Liu Lang saw Yelü Sage wounded by an arrow. Although Yang Dalang had succeeded, his situation was extremely dangerous, as they were seated at the head of the table, some distance from him.

Before Yang Dalang could even rejoice after shooting Yelü Sage, he was surrounded by Yelü Sage's personal guards. A dozen spears were thrust at him simultaneously. Although Yang Dalang fought back fiercely, he was unarmed and his martial arts skills were mediocre. As a result, the Liao soldiers' imperial guards pierced his chest with spears.

Liu Lang fought valiantly towards Yang Dalang, scattering the Liao soldiers, but Yang Dalang lay in a pool of blood, his life

hanging by a thread. Yang Linggong and Si Niang, after cutting down Liao soldiers with their swords, rushed forward.

Seeing Dalang heavily wounded and barely breathing, Si Niang immediately rushed forward, crying out, "Dalang!"

With such a great reward, there would surely be brave men! Three Liao soldiers, wielding rattan shields in their left hands and short swords in their right, launched a desperate attack on Miao Xueyan's lower body, employing the "Ground-lying Blade" technique. Meanwhile, Anawulong leaped into the air like an eagle soaring through the sky, wielding his Wuji short sword to strike Miao Xueyan's head. More than ten spears thrust at her from behind.

Seeing the Liao soldiers surrounding her with such ruthless and lightning-fast attacks, Miao Xueyan hastily retreated using the Seven Star Step, simultaneously swinging her sword backward with the Thousand Rocks Competition technique, unleashing a flurry of sword light that formed a wall of swords like a peacock's tail, deflecting all the spears and short swords.

Seeing Miao Xueyan under attack, Liulang sublimated his spiritual power, unleashing a Thunderclap Technique upward, forcing Anawulong to be thrown back in mid-air, retreating unscathed.

Miao Xueyan's longsword strike, "Looking Through Autumn Water," forced Xiao Erdan, who had ambushed Liu Lang, back several steps. The two joined forces, cutting down a group of Liao soldiers before rushing to Yang Linggong's side.

At this moment, Yang Linggong's advance was blocked. Pan Renmei's two lieutenants fought against the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha, but were killed in just three moves by his Thunderous Handprint. Pan Renmei's other trusted general, Cheng Yue, shouted, "My lord, you must leave quickly! Leave this to me!"

Cheng Yue and his four disciples all used two-handed weapons called Lightning Wind and Fire Spikes. If used properly, and especially with multiple people working together, the power of this weapon would increase greatly.

Five men, five spikes, like five tenacious wolves, trapped the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha.

At this moment, chaos erupted outside the commander's mansion. Yang Qilang, wielding a steel spear, and Pan Bao, brandishing a bronze cudgel, charged in. Both were powerful warriors, and they fought their way in, the Liao soldiers unable to stop them, scattering in all directions.

Seeing a passage, Pan Renmei shouted, "Everyone, don't linger! Retreat quickly!"

Yang Linggong and Si Niang hurriedly rushed out with Pan Renmei. Just as they were about to break through the gate, Jiutian Xuanfo roared, "Damn it! How dare you block my way! Asura Netherworld Wave!"

Black clouds surged above Jiutian Xuanfo's head, adorned with thousands of auspicious rays. In an instant, ten ferocious dragons appeared, unleashing thousands upon thousands of malevolent ghosts that felled the Song and Liao soldiers closest to them. Although Cheng Yue and his five companions fought valiantly... The ghosts that attacked them were enveloped by the ten evil dragons and thrown away...

Miao Xueyan saw the ten black dragons rising from the head of the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha and knew that she had encountered a supreme expert from the Asura Realm. The moment he used the Asura Netherworld Wave, Miao Xueyan used her sword to protect Liu Lang and herself. Then she used the most advanced defensive technique of the Tianshan Sword Control, "Buddha's Light and Sword Shadow - Blade Removal", to cut down all the ghosts. Then she took the opportunity to pull Liu Lang and escape to the gate, saying, "Sixth Master, hurry up, this demonic monk is too powerful!"

Liu Lang now basically knew how to identify a master of the Asura Realm: by observing how many dragons appeared above their head when they unleashed their power. He thought, "Good heavens! Ten evil dragons, three levels higher than me. I'd better retreat."

At that moment, Cheng Yue's four disciples died instantly, and Cheng Yue himself was struck by one of the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's evil dragons, lying on the verge of death. Pan Bao, who had a close relationship with Cheng Yue, saw him injured and immediately swung his bronze cudgel at the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha, confident in his unparalleled skill and invincibility, believed the Song army would all perish on the spot, but he hadn't expected several to escape, especially since someone was actually wielding a cudgel against him. Still basking

in his triumph, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha was unprepared, and Pan Bao's speed was too great; the cudgel struck the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha squarely on the top of his head.

Pan Bao was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to be hit by the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha. The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha cried out in pain, "How infuriating!"

With that, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha waved his hand, and a black dragon flung Pan Bao away, sending him crashing into a pillar behind the gate.

Pan Bao coughed up blood and cursed, "You son of a bitch... you actually... hit me!"

He had barely uttered the curse when he felt a chill on his back as a spear pierced through it.

Cheng Yue cried out, "Young Master!"

With that, Cheng Yue swung his right arm with all his might, throwing the spear in his hand and killing the Liao soldier who had attacked Pan Bao.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Pan Bao saw Pan Renmei and Liu Lang rush out the gate. He gritted his teeth, got up, and forcefully pushed open the main gate of the commander's mansion. Cheng Yue helped close the other gate. With a loud creak, Pan Bao, spitting blood, cried out, "Brother-in-law... I can't leave! Take good care of my father!"

Liu Lang turned around sharply and saw Pan Bao and Cheng Yue, covered in blood, struggling to close the gate, blocking all the Liao soldiers inside. Then came screams and the sound of weapons clashing.

Liu Lang sighed, knowing Pan Bao was doomed. He swung his sword, felling several Liao soldiers, and then joined Yang Linggong and Si Niang. His personal guards fought desperately to help them mount their horses, and they charged along the main street towards the south gate.

At this moment, Liu Lang seized the opportunity to fire a signal flare, then covered Miao Xueyan's retreat. The Liao soldiers mounted their horses and gave chase. However, the road to the south gate was not unobstructed. Due to Yang Qilang's extraordinary bravery, wielding an eighty-pound steel spear and employing the Yang family spear technique, the Liao soldiers were unable to stop him, and fell one by one.

After a bloody battle, Liu Lang and his men finally reached the south gate. Seeing that things were going badly, the Liao soldiers guarding the south gate began to lower the heavy gate.

Yang Qilang spurred his horse forward, spearing a Liao soldier to the ground. Seeing the gate already lowered, he shouted, "Father, everyone get out of the city quickly!"

With that, Yang Qilang spurred his horse forward, reaching the gate. He lowered his spear, used both hands to hold up the slowly descending gate, and then, with a burst of strength, yelled, "Go!"

Pan Renmei led more than ten riders through the city gate first, followed by Yang Linggong and Si Niang. Seeing Yang Qilang holding up the gate, Yang Linggong could only say with tears in his eyes, "Well done!"

With that, Yang Linggong rushed out of the city. When Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan, who were covering the rear, arrived, two arrows suddenly flew from afar. One of them struck Qilang in the back. Although Yang Qilang was wearing armor, the arrow still penetrated his skin, causing him to shudder in pain and almost let go.

Liu Lang's heart skipped a beat. He and Miao Xueyan rushed over the heavy gate, reined in their horses, and shouted, "Seventh Brother, get away quickly!"

Yang Qilang coughed up blood and was about to speak when, because he was holding the heavy gate up with both arms, another hidden arrow flew over and struck him in the back.

Yang Qilang felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his grip loosened, and the heavy gate crashed down with the force of Mount Tai, cleaving Yang Qilang and his horse in two. Seeing

Yang Qilang's tragic death, Fourth Sister cried out in anguish, "My son!"

With that, Fourth Sister fainted and fell to the ground. Liu Lang, with tears in his eyes, rushed forward to protect Fourth Sister.

At this moment, cannons roared outside the city, and the Liao army, which had been lying in ambush, swept across the mountains and fields, quickly forming an impenetrable encirclement, trapping the hundred or so soldiers within. The tragic deaths of his two sons had turned General Yang's eyes red

with rage. He brandished his spear and shouted, "Generals, today we will fight bravely on the battlefield to repay the Emperor's boundless grace! Follow me, let's fight the Liao!" Pan Renmei, also learning of Pan Bao's death, brandished his sword with red eyes and shouted, "A general would rather die on the front lines than on the rear! Charge!"

General Yang and Pan Renmei led their hundred or so cavalrymen towards the newly formed Liao army formation.

Although General Yang was an invincible marksman and his generals were veterans of countless battles, charging a mere hundred or so cavalrymen against a Liao army of tens of thousands was like ants trying to shake a tree. Although hundreds of Liao soldiers fell quickly, the Liao army's formation remained completely unchanged.

Chapter Seven: The Bloody Battle of Jinshatan (Part Two)

Outside Zijing Pass, the commander-in-chief was Yelü Xiuge, the youngest and most outstanding general in the Liao army. Today, he was ordered to guard Jinshatan, his mission being to stop any Song army from passing through this area at all costs.

At this moment, the Liao army formed a well-balanced ironclad formation, with five thousand archers already on standby. Watching the mere hundred or so Song cavalry charging towards them, Yelü Xiuge carefully observed their movements. Their tenacity and bravery impressed this general who valued talent above all else, who thought to himself: "The Song Dynasty is indeed full of talented people!"

At this moment, a general asked, "General, should we order the archers to shoot these reckless Song soldiers?"

Yelü Xiuge, holding his command flag, gazed at the hundred or so cavalrymen who were now completely surrounded by the Liao army, and hesitated to give the order to fire a volley of arrows.

After General Yang led his hundred-odd cavalry into the Liao army's formation, they were quickly surrounded in several circles. Hundreds of rattan shields were erected and slowly approached them.

At this moment, General Yang was fully aware of the current situation. Even if the Liao soldiers didn't attack, just being surrounded like this would make it extremely difficult for him to break out. General

Yang brandished his spear, repeatedly stabbing down Liao soldiers. Suddenly, he looked up and saw an endless expanse of

black banners! Liao soldiers in black armor! Dark carnage! This vast black cloud was terrifying to behold.

"Lord Pan, it seems the Liao army was well-prepared. This time, escaping will be difficult!"

General Yang leaned against Pan Renmei, catching his breath.

Pan Renmei laughed, "Lord Yang, we are sworn brothers. With a close friend like you to accompany me to the Yellow Springs, I will not be lonely!"

As soon as Pan Renmei finished speaking, two more lieutenants beside him, one succumbing to their injuries and the other struck by a Liao soldier's spear, both fell from their horses.

Seeing that only a dozen or so soldiers remained capable of fighting, and with Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan nowhere to be seen, Lord Yang gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and was about to fight to the death when suddenly he heard the sounds of cannons and battle cries coming from behind the Liao army…

Lord Yang and Pan Renmei couldn't help but look into the distance.

Reinforcements! Like a bright white ribbon, that ribbon, like cascading mercury, cleaved the Liao army's formation in two from behind!

Only the armor of Yang Sijie's ironclad light cavalry could be so dazzling and magnificent! Only the advance of Yang Sijie's indestructible white-armored light cavalry could be so awe-inspiring!

A white whirlwind! A female general in white helmet and armor wielded a three-pointed, double-edged sword, and as she swung it up and down, Liao soldiers cried out and fell to the ground!

The white plume of her silver helmet fluttered, the bright silver armor gleamed, and the long sword gleamed with a cold light!

The low shouts of three thousand light cavalry, the heavy breathing of three thousand warhorses, and the clanging of armor rolling!

In the blink of an eye, Yang Sijie's troops had already reached the center of the Liao army's formation, only a hundred paces away from General Yang.

Yang Linggong was overjoyed and looked at Pan Renmei.

Pan Renmei, with tears in her eyes, said, "The reinforcements have finally arrived!"

Yang Sijie took the lead, her bravery and the three-pointed double-edged sword making her unstoppable. With everyone trapped in the Liao army's formation, she was anxious and her attack became even more ferocious. Although the Liao army was prepared, they were caught off guard by Yang Sijie.

Just as Yang Sijie was about to reunite with Yang Linggong and the others, the Liao soldiers quickly regained their footing and surrounded her in a fan shape. Layer upon layer of armored shield-bearers, in the blink of an eye, she was surrounded by men and shields, shield upon shield, a dense array of swords and spears, an insurmountable mountain of armor blocking her path.

Without hesitation, Yang Sijie spurred her horse towards the mountain-like shield formation, concentrating all her inner strength into her three-pointed double-edged sword. Her warhorse, understanding her intentions, suddenly leaped into the air a few feet from the shield formation, aiming directly at the top armored shield bearers, followed by a long neigh!

As the horse soared above the Liao soldiers' heads, Yang Sijie unleashed three powerful strikes, cleaving the shield formation beneath her into pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere. Her light cavalry seized the opportunity to advance.

Yang Sijie hacked her way through, her white armor stained crimson with blood, finally reaching Yang Linggong. Being on the battlefield, there was no time for words; a single glance was enough to convey their greeting.

Yang Sijie led her light cavalry to cover Yang Linggong and his men's breakout. The Liao army's main formation had been breached and hadn't yet been plugged when Yang Linggong and Pan Renmei reached the outer perimeter.

Yang Sijie looked at her dead son, Yang Dalang, tears streaming down her face.

"Where is Liulang?"

A sudden jolt went through her.

Yang Linggong turned back, then silently shook his head. Sijie anxiously asked, "Has anyone seen General Liu?"

A lieutenant replied, "We saw General Liu still inside during the breakout."

Yang Sijie brandished her long sword, then turned her horse around, ready to charge back.

Yang Linggong grabbed Yang Sijie's horse reins and said, "Fourth Sister, are you going to your death?"

Yang Sijie cried, "Father, Sixth Brother is still inside!"

Yang Linggong sighed, "Your eldest brother and your seventh brother have already sacrificed themselves. Of course, I don't want anything to happen to Sixth Brother, but if you go back now, not only will you not save Sixth Brother, but you will also lose your life!"

Yang Sijie nodded and said, "I know, but I still have to go."

With that, Yang Sijie broke free from Yang Linggong's grasp and spurred her horse back.

At this moment, Liao soldiers flanked them from both sides, and a fierce hand-to-hand battle ensued. Yang Linggong fought and retreated, and when he looked back, Yang Sijie's figure was no longer visible.

Yang Linggong closed his eyes and gave the order: "Retreat!"

The horn sounded immediately, and three thousand Song light cavalry began to retreat towards the Juma River, taking turns providing cover.

Meanwhile, the Liao cavalry had already flanked the Song army from both sides, gradually tightening the encirclement.

The retreating bugle call faded after only a couple of blasts, swallowed by a hail of arrows. The bugler and his horse were riddled with arrows, unable to close their eyes in death.

Seeing the Liao army rapidly gathering behind him, Yang Linggong deeply admired the Liao commander's leadership; he didn't rush into a fierce attack, but instead hoped to wear down the Song army, whose will to fight had long since crumbled, through encirclement.

After another fierce, dark battle, Yang Linggong's forces were once again heavily surrounded.

Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan had been together the whole time. Just as Yang Sijie (Yang Fourth Sister) broke through the encirclement, Liu Lang saw her, but his horse had already died in the melee. He could only fight the Liao soldiers on foot, hoping to catch up with Yang Sijie and break out with them. However, Miao Xueyan was still several feet behind him, her sword already stained crimson from fighting on foot.

While using the Buddha's Light Sword Shadow technique to deflect the chaotic blades attacking her, Miao Xueyan retreated using the Seven Star Step.

Understanding the current situation, she shouted to Liu Lang, "Sixth Master, don't worry about me, go with them!"

Liu Lang fought desperately towards Miao Xueyan. He knew that without her, they would have been overtaken by the pursuers long ago. She, a woman, had used her own body to hold off thousands of pursuers, creating an opportunity for their escape. Even if she wasn't his wife, he had no reason to abandon her.

Reaching Miao Xueyan's side, Liu Lang said, "Yanzi, I won't abandon you. We'll live together, we'll die together! Kill!"

Miao Xueyan smiled gratefully at Liu Lang, and then, back to back, they began to break out of the encirclement. Knowing the hope was slim, she was determined to fight with all her might.

As Liao soldiers fell in droves, the deputy commander, enraged, finally gave the order to fire arrows. Arrows rained down on Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan like locusts. Fortunately, Miao Xueyan's swordsmanship was superb, allowing her to defend herself skillfully; otherwise, they would have been riddled with arrows.

Although Liu Lang was in dire straits, he relied on the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation for protection, which could sustain him for a while if absolutely necessary.

Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan fought their way back, but the Liao soldiers relentlessly pursued them. Just then, Yang Sijie returned, and upon seeing Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan, she excitedly cried out, "Liulang, don't be afraid! Sister is here!"

Seeing Yang Sijie appear, Liu Lang and Miao Xueyan rallied.

Liu Lang unleashed the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique, using purple lightning to scatter the Liao archers, and reunited with Yang Sijie.

Sixth Brother said, "Fourth Sister, you shouldn't have come back! It's too dangerous here!"

Fourth Sister Yang retorted sharply, "How could I abandon you when I learned you were still trapped among the Liao army? Eldest Brother and Seventh Brother have already died in battle. If anything happens to you, how can I live alone? Sixth Brother, don't say anymore. Let's fight our way out together."

The three of them rallied their spirits and fought fiercely, finally carving a bloody path. But just as they were reuniting with the troops behind them, scouts reported that General Yang and Pan Renmei had been ambushed by the Liao army on the north bank of the Juma River and had suffered heavy casualties.

Liu Lang asked anxiously, "Why don't we cross the river quickly?"

The scout replied, "Reporting to General Liu, the Juma River Bridge has been destroyed by Liao soldiers using artillery."

Liu Lang angrily said, "Second Brother and his men had three thousand soldiers protecting this bridge, why did they suffer such heavy losses from the Liao army?"

The scout said, "General Liu, our troops guarding the bridge were besieged by tens of thousands of Liao soldiers. They even used artillery and assault vehicles. Their purpose was obvious: to destroy the bridge. Although they fought desperately, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of Liao soldiers!"

Liu Lang sighed and said, "It seems the Liao soldiers were prepared. Our plan was all in their hands." "We have it under control, but what about the other bridge? Has it been destroyed?"

The scout replied, "It's unclear yet. The situation there is also very intense, and the main road leading to the other bridge has been completely blocked by the Liao army."

Liu Lang then asked, "How many troops do we have left?"

The commander replied, "Less than a thousand. And Lord Ling and Lord Pan have already separated from us."

Liu Lang looked at the Liao soldiers gradually closing in and gave the order: "Break through to the east and try to seize the other bridge there!"

Liu Lang led his troops eastward, but they were once again besieged by the Liao army.

This time, it was the Liao's Grand Strategist, Jiutian Xuanfo, who personally led his troops to attack. Liu Lang knew that this fierce monk was powerful and not easy to deal with, but he still had to fight.

When Liu Lang and Jiutian Xuanfo clashed, Jiutian Xuanfo was greatly surprised. He did not expect that a mere general like his opponent would have such a powerful primordial spirit. Seeing that Liu Lang had not yet used his ultimate move and could not know his exact strength, he became even more cautious in his battle.

Liu Lang was no match for the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha to begin with, and with the Buddha's cautious approach, he was practically invincible. However, Liu Lang had no will to fight back and hastily unleashed a Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique before retreating.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha used his powerful protective Kui Luo to block Liu Lang's killing move, thinking to himself: "This kid's skill is not weak, but it seems he hasn't yet mastered the supreme magical attack of the cultivation world. Hmph! Watch me take your primordial spirit; it'll be perfect for improving my divine skills!" With that thought, he shouted, "Don't run! Behold the power of my Ghost Dance Treasure Wheel!"

Liu Lang turned around abruptly and saw ten magnificent Kui Luo rising from the Buddha's head, rapidly spinning to form a powerful wheel that enveloped him. Seeing the danger, Liu Lang hurriedly summoned his Wind, Fire, and Thunder Array to defend himself, but the Ghost Dance Treasure Wheel, coiled around Liu Lang's head, resembled a ferocious dragon ready to devour him whole.

Seeing this, Yang Sijie knew that Liulang had encountered an extremely formidable opponent. She secretly took down the Heavenly Cold Jade Bow and three black-feathered wolf-tooth arrows, aiming them at Jiutian Xuanfo. The arrows were fired in quick succession, one fast and two slow, leaving Jiutian Xuanfo overwhelmed. Despite his desperate dodges, he was struck in the buttocks by the third arrow. Fortunately, his martial arts were unparalleled, and his body was beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts. However, for Jiutian Xuanfo, this was a great humiliation, as no one in the martial world had ever been able to wound his skin. Even if Yang Sijie had used an ordinary bow and arrow, she might not have been able to pierce his protective shield.

In his fury, Jiutian Xuanfo was already upon him, and with a swift, three-pointed double-edged sword, she struck his protective shield, sending countless sparks flying.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha roared, "Infuriating! Behold my Asura Netherworld Wave!"

With that, he unleashed his most powerful attack, the Asura Netherworld Wave, towards Yang Sijie and Liu Lang.

Streaks of black lightning, grotesque ghosts, and a swirling black dragon surrounded Liu Lang and Yang Sijie.

Seeing the two trapped, Miao Xueyan rushed to their aid, her Buddha Light Sword Shadow's Deflection technique capable of countering the Asura Netherworld Wave's powerful attack.

Although the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's Asura Netherworld Wave was formidable, his primary target was Yang Sijie and Liu Lang, allowing Miao Xueyan to use her Heavenly Mountain Sword Control defensive technique to deflect his attack and help Liu Lang and Yang Sijie escape danger.

Enraged, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha glanced at Miao Xueyan, thinking: "There's another Heavenly Mountain Sword Control expert here. I'll capture you first!" Thinking of this, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha once again unleashed the Asura Netherworld Wave, and then attacked Miao Xueyan.

Miao Xueyan was immediately alarmed and could no longer hold back, so she quickly used the Thousand Returns Falling Petals Sword. A flash of cold light appeared, flickering and uncertain, and in less than an instant, lightning swirled and stars flew, silver light scattered, and the originally less than three-foot-long snow-silver sword circle suddenly expanded into a circular light screen, covering the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha. Although the brilliance suddenly intensified and the sword energy was layered, Miao Xueyan knew that her skill was still insufficient, and no matter how exquisite the Tianshan Sword Control technique was, it could not harm the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's Dharma body. She could only rely on the power of the Tianshan Sword Control to temporarily hold off the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha, so that Liu Lang and Yang Sijie could escape quickly. She shouted loudly, "Sixth Master, Fourth Sister! Run!"

Liu Lang and Yang Sijie also used all their strength, and just as they were about to escape unscathed, they saw that Miao Xueyan was alone, trapped by the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's Asura Netherworld Wave, and could not escape at all. However, it would be difficult for the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha to kill Miao Xueyan in one go, so he added another ten percent of his power.

Seeing this, Anawulong and Xiao Erdan immediately stepped forward to help. Anawulong, cunning by nature and skilled in sneak attacks, saw Miao Xueyan fully engaged in dealing with the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's Asura Netherworld Wave. He smiled sinisterly, leaped behind Miao Xueyan, and unleashed his unique hidden weapon, the Bone-Piercing Silver Needles, which rained down on Miao Xueyan.

Yang Sijie shouted, "Yanzi, be careful!"

With that, Yang Sijie hurriedly took out the Heavenly Cold White Jade Bow and two Black Feather Wolf Fang Arrows, aiming them at Anawulong and cursing, "You scoundrel, die!" Miao Xueyan

had already heard the wind behind her. Fortunately, her Buddha Light Shadow Technique of Deflecting Blade was highly refined. With a slight movement, a rain of swords was unleashed, and several sparks flew. Some of the Bone-Piercing Silver Needles that Anawulong had unleashed were twisted by Miao Xueyan's sword, instantly turning into a shower of silver dust that drifted away with the wind. Others were deflected and shot towards the Liao soldiers around them, and more than a dozen men fell to the ground.

At the same time, Anawulong, who had ambushed Miao Xueyan, also let out a scream, struck by Yang Sijie's divine arrow and falling to the ground. However, due to the sheer number of Liao soldiers, Liulang couldn't reach him in time to kill him and was rescued by the Liao soldiers.

Miao Xueyan's longsword had just shattered the bone-piercing silver needle when a chilling palm wind struck from behind—Xiao Erdan's Thunderous Handprint was already upon her.

Miao Xueyan sensed the power of the attack and immediately felt immense pressure behind her, as if a tortoise were carrying a mountain. Xiao Erdan's Thunderous Handprint stirred the air and struck Miao Xueyan's back. If this palm struck Miao Xueyan, she would be severely injured, if not killed, and might even suffer paralysis for life.

However, Miao Xueyan couldn't dodge. If she retreated to defend, not only would she, Liu Lang, and Yang Sijie be in mortal danger, because at this moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha had already sublimated his power to its highest level. Even if Xiao Erdan didn't attack, Miao Xueyan would find it difficult to escape the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's killing move.

Miao Xueyan's mind raced, and she had a plan. A murderous intent flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her expression was terrifying. Xiao Erdan was behind Miao Xueyan and couldn't see her expression, but the intense killing intent spread out like an overflowing river.

Miao Xueyan brought the Thousand Returns Falling Petals Sword to its limit, then gathered her strength in her back, and used her flesh and blood to take the brunt of Xiao Erdan's thunderous handprint. At the same time, she twisted her wrist, and the tip of the sword stabbed back, narrowly missing her flesh, and exited from under her armpit. The blade emitted a silver light, and the cold air was like a sword, pointing towards Xiao Erdan's heart.

When Xiao Erdan struck Miao Xueyan in the back with his palm, before he could even feel joy, he felt a sudden chill in his chest, an icy coldness that seemed to freeze to the bone, as if thousands of thin, sharp needles were piercing his left chest simultaneously. This caused him to gasp for breath, realizing that even if he unleashed his full power and killed Miao Xueyan, he himself would likely perish. Hesitating, he reduced the force of his palm by a third, intending to retreat with all his might. However, Miao Xueyan was determined to take his life, solely to help Liu Lang eliminate a powerful opponent, and had no time to consider her own safety.

Miao Xueyan's sword pierced through Xiao Erdan's chest. Although he leaped to escape, he stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching his chest, his expression utterly desolate; it was likely he was unlikely to survive.

Although Xiao Erdan was killed with a single sword strike, Miao Xueyan was also struck by his palm. Her injuries were severe, and she could only endure the blood gushing from her abdomen. However, she was then struck by the Asura Netherworld Wave of the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha, her body flying away like a broken kite before crashing to the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Lang rushed to Miao Xueyan in terror, only to find her chest stained with blood.

Miao Xueyan lay in Liu Lang's arms, too weak to speak, but she smiled with relief, two tears streaming down her face.

Liu Lang felt a pang of heartache and cried out, "Yanzi, you must hold on!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha continued to unleash his ultimate technique, and Yang Sijie, wielding her three-pointed double-edged sword, stepped forward to block her.

Yang Sijie's eyes were red, seemingly spitting fire. She channeled all her strength into her blade, determined to behead the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha. Although Yang Sijie was unstoppable, brute force and bravery alone were not enough to defeat the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha. To kill him, one must first break his physical form, a skill Yang Sijie lacked. Her charge could only buy her time. As

time passed, Yang Sijie could no longer hold out. Liu Lang glanced around, seeing his troops dwindling and Miao Xueyan unconscious, her fate uncertain. Seeing Yang Sijie about to fall to the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha, Liu Lang prepared to rush forward and fight to the death.

At this critical moment, a force suddenly appeared from the side, scattering the surrounding Liao army. It was Si Niang leading Yang Erlang, Yang Sanlang, and Shen Lingmei in a charge.

Upon seeing Liu Lang, everyone was overjoyed. Shen Lingmei said, "Liu Lang, it's all my fault. I lost that bridge. I only realized you were surrounded when I saw Si Niang coming."

Liu Lang said, "Second Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. The Liao soldiers were prepared, and there were many of them, which is why we were caught off guard. How is the bridge over here?"

Shen Lingmei said, "Zi Ruo'er is leading her troops in a desperate defense, but the situation isn't good either. There are too many Liao soldiers. My and Zi Ruo'er's troops have suffered heavy casualties. Of our six thousand men, we estimate only half remain. Since you haven't returned for so long, we brought some of our men here."

Fourth Sister looked at Miao Xueyan, whose chest was covered in blood, and asked, "How is Xueyan?"

Sixth Brother said with tears in his eyes, "In this battle, our casualties were too great..."

Second Brother asked, "Father, what about Eldest Brother and the others?"

Sixth Brother shook his head and said, "They were all scattered!"

"Could they still be trapped?"

Fourth Sister asked. "Your father and Lord Pan were trapped by the enemy while covering me. We must hurry and rescue them."

Sixth Brother nodded. "Perhaps! Fourth Sister, Yanzi's injuries are severe. If she doesn't receive immediate treatment, she will hardly survive. You and Second Sister-in-law must take her back to Siping Mountain immediately to find the imperial physician and request reinforcements!"

Shen Lingmei sighed. "Sixth Brother, Siping Mountain... Siping Mountain has fallen! All 90,000 soldiers have been wiped out!"

Sixth Brother asked in shock. "How could this be? How is this possible?"

Shen Lingmei said, "As soon as the last bridge was lost, I sensed something was wrong and hurriedly sent someone back to Siping Mountain to report to the Emperor. But the person I sent never returned. Later, a force attacked from the direction of Siping Mountain. It was Wang Shi, the deputy general under my father. He told me that Siping Mountain was besieged by the Liao army, and the Emperor dared not resist at all." "They abandoned Siping Mountain and fled back to Waqiao Pass."

Liu Lang cursed, "That bastard! They had reinforcements in their hands, yet they deserted in the face of battle. Isn't this cutting off our lifeline and putting us in a desperate situation?"

Shen Lingmei sighed, "The Emperor was ambushed by the Liao army on the way. Although he escaped thanks to the desperate protection of his generals, his entire army was wiped out. The part of the troops left behind at Siping Mountain fought a bloody battle, and General Wang Shi, knowing the danger here, brought the remaining two thousand soldiers to support us. If it weren't for these two thousand soldiers, we wouldn't even be able to hold onto this bridge."

Liu Lang sighed heavily and said, "This foolish emperor is utterly useless! Father is still in the enemy's ranks, his fate unknown. Fourth Sister-in-law, take Yanzi and break through the encirclement, and reunite with Zi Ruo'er. Don't hold out here."

Fourth Sister-in-law nodded in agreement.

It was now completely dark, but the moonlight was bright. The ten giant dragons of the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha were still baring their fangs and claws, surrounding Yang Sijie. If Yang Sijie didn't receive reinforcements soon, she would likely be defeated.

Liu Lang commanded a hundred archers to fire fiercely at the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha while protecting Yang Sijie's retreat. There was no time to explain the current situation in detail. Liu Lang led everyone to retreat to the south bank of the Juma River, joining forces with Zi Ruo'er, and mobilized all the archers to hold the bridge.

Liu Lang checked Miao Xueyan's injuries and called Zi Ruo'er and Shen Lingmei over, saying, "You two lead a cavalry unit with Yanzi to break through and head towards Feihu City."

Shen Lingmei and Zi Ruo'er checked Miao Xueyan's injuries and realized the situation was urgent, but they were both worried about what was happening here.

Liu Lang said, "I still have three thousand soldiers at my disposal. I will rescue Father and Lord Pan. After you return to Feihu City, do not send reinforcements. Remember, this is a military order, and no one is allowed to disobey it!"

Si Niang said anxiously, "But... Liu Lang, this is too dangerous. I suspect that the Liao Kingdom has mobilized all its forces at Zijing Pass."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "That's precisely why we cannot linger in battle. After returning to Feihu City, immediately prepare to hold everything and reinforce the city walls. After I rescue Father and Lord Pan, I will find a way to return to Feihu City. If you disobey and mobilize the entire city, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Feihu City will not be able to withstand a single charge from the Liao army's iron cavalry, understand?"

Si Niang and Shen Lingmei nodded tearfully, and then led a hundred light cavalrymen, taking advantage of the darkness, towards Feihu City.

Seeing that the Liao army on the other side of the bridge wasn't growing as large as before, Liu Lang guessed that they weren't in a hurry to annihilate him. Moreover, considering that there was still a large Liao army on the south bank of the Juma River, even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't have much of a chance. Therefore, some of the Liao army besieging him had retreated, and they were probably focusing their efforts on annihilating his father and Pan Renmei's troops.

Yang Sijie was even more anxious. She looked at Liu Lang and said, "Liulang, you, Second Brother, and Third Brother, guard the bridge here. Give me some troops; I want to fight my way back to save Father."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Fourth Sister, you select a thousand cavalrymen, and I'll go with you."

At this moment, the Liao army on the south bank of the Juma River surrounded him again and launched a fierce attack on Liu Lang, while Yang Erlang and Yang Sanlang led their troops in a desperate resistance.

Liu Lang said to Yang Si Jie, "If we leave, Second Brother and Third Brother certainly won't be able to hold this bridge. I think it would be better if we gathered all our troops together, then charged back, destroyed the bridge, and cut off the Liao army's encirclement of us on the south bank of the Juma River."

Yang Si Jie's eyes lit up, and she said, "Liu Lang, you're right. We really don't need to hold this place any longer. Besides, dividing our forces will weaken our strength. It's better to concentrate our forces and catch the Liao army off guard. Moreover, after rescuing Father, we don't necessarily have to retreat from here. Besides..." " There's no way back,"

said Liu Lang. "Fourth Sister, if the rescue is successful, we'll head east along this river and fight our way to Yukou Pass. Perhaps there'll still be a glimmer of hope there..."

A hint of joy appeared on Yang Sijie's face. "Liu Lang, it's your decision. Quickly give the order!"

At this moment, Liu Lang gave the order to convert the rear guard into an assault team, led by Yang Sijie herself. They charged across the Juma River Bridge, immediately occupying the north bank. Then, the southern defense forces also covered each other as they retreated back to the north of the bridge. During the retreat, they used pine resin and fire to set fire to the bridge's foundation, and the bridge collapsed in the flames.

Liu Lang and his three thousand men led their troops back along the north bank of the Juma River. After enduring countless hardships and bloody battles, they finally discovered a small group of Song soldiers about to be annihilated by the Liao army. Liu Lang immediately rushed over, scattered the Liao army, and rescued this group.

A commander said, "Sixth General, Lord Yang and Lord Pan are trapped by the Liao army five miles west of the destroyed bridge ahead. We were ordered to break out and request reinforcements, but..."

Sixth Brother said, "I understand. Why didn't Father and Lord Pan go east?"

The commander replied, "The bridge here is destroyed. We originally went east to fight, but there were too many Liao troops there. As a result, we were driven back several miles after a fierce battle. Lord Yang saw a high hill nearby and led his troops to occupy it, engaging the Liao soldiers. Otherwise, we would have been annihilated long ago."

Sixth Brother and Fourth Sister Yang felt much more at ease after learning of Lord Yang's whereabouts, but seeing that there were 100,000 Liao troops, it would be extremely difficult to rescue Lord Yang and the others safely.

After learning of the deaths of Yang's eldest and seventh sons, Second Brother and Third Brother Yang were already red-eyed and recklessly commanded their troops to charge towards the Liao army's rear guard that was besieging Lord Yang.

Although he knew such a reckless charge would be ineffective, Yang Erlang had no better option. After exchanging a glance with Yang Sijie, they decided to fight to the bitter end, concentrating all their forces and charging in one direction.

The Liao army's rear defenses were extremely tight. Before Yang Erlang and Yang Sanlang could lead their cavalry to the front, a hail of arrows was already raining down.

Despite the Liao army's arrows flying like locusts and men falling one after another, Yang Erlang and Yang Sanlang's cavalry continued their desperate charge. Yang Erlang, with an arrow in his shoulder, brandished his spear, leading over a hundred cavalrymen through the Liao archers' lines, charging into the battle formation with unstoppable force.

Yang Sanlang's spear cleaved through a shield, his lance plunging deep into a Liao soldier's chest. His warhorse trampled over the corpses, leading the vanguard directly into the Liao army's lines.

The surrounding Liao troops quickly closed in on the breach, while some Liao soldiers began to cover their retreat back into their formation and launched a fierce counterattack, attempting to fill the gap. Sharp crossbow bolts also came flying, causing a large number of Song soldiers and their horses to fall down, their corpses almost as high as a person.

With a shout, Yang Sijie's three-pointed, double-edged sword cleaved a Liao soldier's spear in two, the sharp blade leaving a long, bloody gash from his face to his chest. A young Liao general beside him seemed stunned, merely holding his shield in a daze, before Yang Sijie swiftly beheaded him, blood gushing from his neck. Liu Lang immediately charged forward, drawing his sword and plunging it into the Liao general's warhorse, causing the dying horse to rear up and trample the Liao soldiers to the ground.

This relentless, brute force gradually tore a gap in the Liao army's formation. Although Liu Lang's own troops also suffered heavy casualties, he had no time to think. His horse thundered, blood splattered, and he could only trample over the corpses of Liao and his own men, like a sharp dagger piercing through the Liao army's ranks.

However, who could have foreseen that this bloody battle, fought at any cost, would end in such an unexpected way?

On that mound, all the Song soldiers had just perished.

Gazing upon the corpses of Song soldiers strewn across the ground, General Yang sighed deeply, then laughed to the heavens, "Heaven has forsaken my Yang family! Today at Jinsha Beach, I am ashamed before the world and before His Majesty. The defeat at Jinsha Beach makes me unworthy to live. Old Pan, I will go with you!"

With that, General Yang placed his sword across his neck.

Just as Yang Sijie charged into the encirclement, she saw General Yang about to commit suicide and cried out, "Father, no!"

However, it was pitch black, and the sounds of battle were deafening. General Yang could neither see nor hear Yang Sijie's cries.

Yang Sijie abandoned her horse and rushed towards General Yang, weeping, but it was too late. With a splatter of blood, General Yang's mountain-like body crashed to the ground. Yang Sijie threw down her long sword, embraced General Yang, and then burst into tears.

Beside Yang Linggong, Yang Sijie saw that Pan Renmei was covered in blood, with three arrows and a spear wound in his body. Yang Dalang was also lying there. Yang Sijie, holding Yang Linggong, suddenly fainted.

Liulang also rushed over and, seeing the scene before him, his vision went black and he almost collapsed. He ran a few steps and helped Yang Sijie up, calling out, "Sijie, wake up."

Yang Sijie slowly woke up, looked at Liulang, looked at Yang Linggong, and then at the Liao army covering the mountains and countless torches. She seemed unable to accept the misfortune before her, saying, "Liulang, tell me, this isn't real!" Liulang sighed,

tears streaming down his face, and softly asked, "Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it? Is it me?"

Yang Erlang and Yang Sanlang were still leading their troops in fierce fighting. They couldn't see what was happening here, only that a bloody path had been fought open ahead, and Liulang and Yang Sijie had already rushed in. So they had to continue fighting to protect this path of survival.

Enraged, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha roared, "Shoot down all the Song soldiers!"

Upon hearing this, the Liao archers began a massive massacre of the Song army, which was lined up in a straight line. The line was gradually cut into more than a dozen segments, and finally disappeared completely. Sanlang was hit by dozens of arrows, and both he and his horse were covered in arrows. Yet, he still held his steel spear and stood tall. Yang Erlang was seriously wounded and captured by the Liao army.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha escorted Yang Erlang to the front of the battle line and shouted to the earthen mound, "General Yang, I know you defeated Cheng Shijie in Taiyuan. Considering your talent as a general, and as you see in the current situation, only by laying down your weapons and surrendering to the Liao Dynasty will you have a chance of survival. I can not only guarantee your life, but also ensure you a lifetime of wealth and honor."

Yang Erlang sneered, stood up, and said, "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha, you are a highly accomplished monk, yet you aid the wicked, helping the Liao Dynasty and causing chaos in the world! Today's battle was lost because of my lord's incompetence, but killing me won't be so easy."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha nodded and said, "I know you are a master of the Divine Realm. Even if you are surrounded by thousands of troops, as long as you unleash the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Formation..." "You can still stall until dawn. Although my master's magic is boundless, he can't do anything to you. But even if you can stall until dawn, what's the use? Let me tell you the truth, our Great Liao has already planned this battle. The Song army at Siping Mountain has been annihilated, and we have two more armies totaling 400,000 men. One is heading towards Feihu City, and the other is besieging Waqiao Pass. I believe the Song emperor is dead, and the defeat is inevitable. What are you still stubborn about? If you don't listen to my advice, you'll only be able to accompany these dead men and become a lonely ghost."

Liu Lang cursed, "Bald donkey, stop talking nonsense and release my second brother!"

Jiutian Xuanfo snorted and said, "Put down your weapon now, or I'll kill him first!"

With that, Jiutian Xuanfo grabbed Yang Erlang.

At this moment, Yang Erlang already knew that Yang Linggong was dead, and having just witnessed Yang Sanlang being killed by a hail of arrows, and being seriously wounded himself, he feared that living would be a burden to Liulang. Taking advantage of Jiutian Xuanfo's inattention, he drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed it fiercely in the abdomen.

Jiutian Xuanfo was caught off guard, and despite his divine protection, Yang Erlang succeeded. The dagger pierced his stomach, not fatal, but it enraged him. He roared and unleashed the Asura Netherworld Wave, shattering Yang Erlang's body into hundreds of pieces.

Liulang roared, "Bald monk, give me back my brother's life!"

With that, Liulang unleashed the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique on Jiutian Xuanfo, who then controlled a black dragon to resist.

At this moment, Yang Sijie wiped away her tears, picked up her three-pointed double-edged sword, and leaped forward to slash at the head of Jiutian Xuanfo.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha roared, "Flying Dragons in the Sky!"

Ten black dragons on his body roared up, transforming into millions of ghosts in mid-air, baring their fangs and claws, almost covering the entire sky. Then, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha unleashed the Asura Netherworld Wave, a deadly attack that Liu Lang and Yang Sijie were powerless to resist.

Liu Lang wanted to use the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Array to protect himself, but he couldn't abandon Yang Sijie, who was outside the array's protective range.

Liu Lang gritted his teeth and desperately moved forward, using his flesh and blood to shield Yang Sijie from the Asura Netherworld Wave. With a spray of blood, both Liu Lang and Yang Sijie were blasted away. Liu Lang endured the intense pain, trying to get up, but felt his blood and qi flowing backward through his meridians; the pain was even worse than at the Seven Star Tower, causing him to cough up blood again.

Yang Sijie's longsword had already slipped from her hand. Although her internal injuries weren't severe, she had been struck by the Asura Netherworld Wave, causing her to cough up blood and her meridians to become disordered. Clearly, she could no longer fight.

Yang Sijie hugged Liu Lang and said, "Liu Lang, don't fight him anymore. I'll cover you, you run away!"

Liu Lang said, "Fourth Sister, is there any need for us to be afraid of a lousy monk? If we're going to leave, we'll leave together!"

Yang Sijie shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion, and said, "Liu Lang, I can't walk anymore. For the first time, I feel so tired. Father and the others are all dead. I don't want to live anymore. I want to..."

Liu Lang covered Yang Sijie's lips, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Fourth Sister, you have to be strong. We still need to live to avenge them!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha laughed loudly and said, "What, you still want to live to avenge them? In your next life! Archers, prepare!"

Yang Sijie's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw thousands of archers already aimed at her and Liu Lang.

Yang Sijie never imagined that her unparalleled archery skills, her invincible prowess, would lead to her being killed by a hail of arrows. But her death was insignificant; she couldn't bear to see Liulang harmed.

Yang Sijie tightly embraced Liulang, her voice filled with sorrow, "Liulang, sister will save you!"

Liulang closed his eyes, feeling the excruciating pain and the warmth of Yang Sijie's embrace. At this moment, he remembered that as a time traveler, he couldn't change the history of Jinshatan, a pain that tormented him even more than the physical agony.

"Sijie, I'm so useless. I can't protect you. Will you hate me?"

Yang Sijie shook her head and smiled, "Liulang, listen to your sister. I'll help you escape. The Juma River is just ahead. I know you're a good swimmer. I'll lift you out. Take care of yourself!"

Yang Sijie desperately lifted Liulang up. At the same time, the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha's arm slid downwards, and a volley of arrows shot towards Liulang and Yang Sijie.

Liulang felt Yang Sijie's body tremble slightly, and then his eyes welled up with tears. He cried out, "Sijie, I won't allow you to do this! We'll live together, and we'll die together!"

Although Yang Sijie was wearing armor, her body still swayed. Several arrows pierced through her armor and embedded themselves deep in her back, but she still gritted her teeth and lifted Liulang out with all her might.

At the foot of the earthen mound where Liulang was, fifty paces away was the wide Juma River. Yang Sijie's arms were incredibly strong. Despite being wounded by arrows, she still managed to lift Liulang into the river. Liulang then desperately floated to the surface, looking at the earthen mound with a sorrowful expression.

"Shoot with all your might!"

the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha commanded.

Yang Sijie smiled coldly, picked up the three-pointed double-edged sword beside her, looked at Liu Lang who had fallen into the water, smiled with relief, then reversed the blade, the sharp tip pointing at his heart…

Liu Lang's heart ached terribly in the water, but he was severely injured. He had no strength to swim, let alone rush to Yang Sijie's rescue. He could only let the icy river water drown him again. In his final moments, Liu Lang saw Yang Sijie's desolate yet longing eyes, filled with boundless affection for him. She loved him so much! But he had underestimated the strength of the Liao army, leading to a crushing defeat at Jinshatan, leaving him powerless to reverse the tide and unable to rescue Yang Sijie.

Liu Lang heard the Liao general order to take her alive, but he firmly believed that Yang Sijie would never be captured alive by the Liao army, for she would rather die than be captured and lose her virginity.

Under the bright moon, the gleaming blade reflected Yang Sijie's resolute eyes. This was the last time Liulang saw Yang Sijie before he was submerged again in the icy river.

"Sijie!" Liulang silently mourned in his heart, murmuring the name of the woman he loved most, as he slowly lost consciousness in the cold river.

Chapter Eight: Phoenix Soars Above the Seven Star Tower

When Liulang awoke again, he was no longer so cold. He reached out and found himself sleeping in a soft bed…

Liulang looked up and saw that the sky was cloudless, with countless stars twinkling in clusters. He figured that the storm had passed and the clouds had dispersed, revealing this clear, pearl-studded sky.

Liulang didn't know where he was. He tried to sit up, but his body ached terribly and his limbs were weak.

The bright moon shone softly through the window, its gentle light caressing the room like a loving mother's hand. Liu Lang felt a surge of warmth wash over him. Recalling past events, he gazed up at the moon high in the night sky, murmuring, "Could I not be dead? But where is Fourth Sister...?"

Liu Lang carefully examined the room, a sense of déjà vu washing over him, yet he couldn't quite place it.

The scenes of Jinshatan seemed to flash before his eyes—the tragic deaths of his father and brothers were vivid in his memory. Especially poignant was the image of Fourth Sister Yang, holding her three-pointed double-edged sword, looking at him with such sorrow that it tore at Liu Lang's heart. He thought: Knowing the tragedy of history, why can't I change it? Did I deliberately create this tragedy? I was not originally Yang Liulang. Even if all the men of the Yang family perished here, leaving only a group of beautiful women to let me roam freely among them, I would accept fate and let history repeat itself. But I never expected to forget my fourth sister. Did she have to die? Or is Heaven deliberately punishing me? Thinking of this, Liulang was in turmoil and couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, the moonlight slowly shone into the room, making Liulang's bedside shine like silver. Suddenly, a white figure appeared in the moonlight, and a stunningly beautiful woman walked over.

Liulang looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Phoenix, is that you?"

He saw that Bai Fenghuang was wearing a pure white brocade dress with close-knit buttons and silver threads. The white cloth that hugged her chest and waist accentuated her slender figure, making her breasts and hips almost spill out. The narrow waistband and silver silk trousers revealed her figure perfectly, making her impossible to look away from. Under the moonlight, she was even more dazzling.

"Sixth Brother, you're finally awake."

Bai Fenghuang's slightly upturned lips revealed an ethereal, peerless elegance as she spoke. "In this bloody battle at Jinshatan, your Yang family devoted themselves to the Song Dynasty, even unto death! In the end, all the elites were wiped out, yet we couldn't save the land. Sixth Brother, is this your fault?"

Sixth Brother wept, "Aunt, it's my fault! I was stubborn and self-willed! I regret it so much! Ah!"

As he spoke, Sixth Brother struggled, causing excruciating pain throughout his body, and he cried out in pain.

Bai Fenghuang quickly bent down to support Sixth Brother, saying, "You've been struck by the Asura Netherworld Wave of the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha; you need to rest and recuperate!"

Sixth Brother asked in a trembling voice, "Aunt, what about my fourth sister...?"

Bai Fenghuang shook her head, saying, "I learned the news too late. By the time I arrived, the situation was already decided. I rescued you from the river; I didn't see your fourth sister."

Sixth Brother was deeply saddened and remained silent for a long time.

Bai Fenghuang said, "That's all in the past. You must pull yourself together, heal your wounds, and then return to the battlefield to avenge your family. You can't be so despondent; otherwise, I and the whole world will look down on you."

Liu Lang gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Aunt, I will be strong. I won't let you down."

Bai Fenghuang nodded and said, "The Song Emperor's incompetence led to this crushing defeat, and the tragedy at Jinshatan cannot be blamed on you. Do you know how much happened during those four days and three nights when you were unconscious?"

Liu Lang looked at Bai Fenghuang in surprise.

Bai Fenghuang sighed, "Waqiao Pass has fallen!"

Liu Lang felt a chill and said, "Waqiao Pass is impregnable, with so many defenders, and Emperor Taizong and my fifth brother personally guarding it. It fell in just three days?"

Bai Fenghuang laughed, "If it weren't for that incompetent emperor, it wouldn't have fallen so quickly; with him, he's more of a hindrance than a help. After the great defeat at Jinshatan, instead of mobilizing troops to defend the border, he concentrated his main force to cover his escape to Bianjing. I estimate that the incompetent emperor has already fled back to Bianjing, and the Liao army's vanguard has already reached Daming."

Liu Lang, still somewhat incredulous, asked, "Is this true? I was unconscious..." "During this time, half of the Song Dynasty's territory fell into the hands of the Liao people?"

Bai Fenghuang nodded and said, "That's absolutely true. But it's for the best. You should have realized Emperor Taizong's incompetence by now, right?"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "I realized it a long time ago."

Bai Fenghuang lit a candle, then carried a tray filled with clean bandages and several small porcelain bottles of different colors. She sat down next to Liu Lang, placed the tray on the bedside table, and said, "Liu Lang, you still have several arrow wounds, one of which is poisoned. I'm going to change your dressing now."

Liu Lang said "Oh," and moved slightly under the covers, only then realizing that he was completely naked.

Bai Fenghuang lifted the brocade quilt covering Liu Lang, removed the gauze from his shoulder, washed the wound with clean water, and carefully applied the medicinal powder.

Seeing Liu Lang staring at her intently, Bai Fenghuang smiled slightly and said, "Liu Lang, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Flying Tiger City?"

Liu Lang collected his thoughts and quickly asked, "Aunt, what's happening in Flying Tiger City?"

Bai Fenghuang said, "My scouts said that the Liao army has amassed 200,000 troops in Flying Tiger City, and the day after the Golden Beach incident, they launched a fierce attack on Flying Tiger City. It seems they are determined to take Flying Tiger City. However, your defenses in Flying Tiger City are excellent, causing the Liao army to suffer a serious setback. They have now suspended their attack, but the Liao army will not give up easily. Cheng Shijie has also made moves; he has begun attacking Jietang Pass. This is the information I received from my scouts a while ago. There will be no more news after this, because the Liao army has already blockaded the Floating Island."

Liu Lang hurriedly asked, "Will we be in danger here?"

Bai Fenghuang replied, "Not for now. No matter how many Liao soldiers there are, they are only skilled in mounted archery, not naval warfare. No matter how many come, they will all die. However, after a while, after the beginning of winter, the lake may freeze over, and then there might be trouble."

After Bai Fenghuang finished treating the arrow wound on Liu Lang's shoulder, she said, "There's another arrow wound on your lower body. Here, take this and protect your 'thing'."

Liu Lang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Bai Fenghuang was referring to his penis.

At this moment, Bai Fenghuang handed a silk handkerchief to Liu Lang, then completely lifted the brocade quilt, revealing Liu Lang's magnificent penis, which made Bai Fenghuang's cheeks blush slightly. She glared at Liu Lang and said, "What are you waiting for?"

Liu Lang said "Oh," and tried to raise his arm, but it was quite difficult.

Seeing this, Bai Fenghuang sighed, "Never mind, I'll help you."

As she spoke, Bai Fenghuang took the towel and covered Liu Lang's penis, but then she raised the tent, which was quite suggestive.

Bai Fenghuang began tending to Liu Lang's arrow wound in the abdomen. Seeing Liu Lang looking at her with ill intent, she said with slight anger, "What are you thinking about now?"

Liu Lang replied, "Auntie, after you rescued me, did you peek at my body?"

Bai Fenghuang blushed at first, then retorted angrily, "Nonsense! Do you think I wanted to see you? If it weren't for Consort Yun and Consort Xue, I wouldn't have bothered saving you; I'd let you drown in the river."

With that, Bai Fenghuang tightened the bandage around Liu Lang's abdomen.

Liu Lang cried out, "Auntie, you're hurting me."

Seeing Bai Fenghuang blush and remain silent, Liu Lang thought to himself: I was unconscious for four days and three nights. She rescued me and personally treated my wounds; of course, she must have seen my body. Heh heh, this goddess-like beauty, has she secretly fallen for me too? Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to change my bandages herself; there are plenty of people on the Floating Island to order around!

Looking at Bai Fenghuang's slightly flushed cheeks, Liu Lang thought: Although she is pure and otherworldly, she is over twenty years old after all. The hurt Lan Mengtang caused her is etched in her heart. She should hate all men in the world, so why is she so tender towards me?

Liu Lang was puzzled and couldn't help but look at Bai Fenghuang with fascination, hoping to understand what she was thinking.

Bai Fenghuang panicked under Liu Lang's gaze, hastily covering him with the blanket and saying, "You'd better behave yourself. The Asura Netherworld Wave of the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha has disrupted all your meridians. If I hadn't used the Eight Gates Life-Sustaining Technique to restore them, even if you survived, your body would be ruined!"

After treating Liu Lang's external injuries, Bai Fenghuang used the Eight Gates Life-Sustaining Technique to help him recover his internal energy, making Liu Lang feel much better than before. Overwhelmed with emotion, he reached out and grabbed Bai Fenghuang's wrist, saying, "Auntie, don't go. I'm so scared. Please stay here with me for a while! I can't forget the tragedy at Golden Beach. Every time I close my eyes, all I see are those bloody images. I'm so afraid." Bai

Fenghuang had no choice but to put down the tray and sit down next to Liu Lang, gently stroking his head, saying, "Liu Lang, forget what you should forget! Didn't I tell you? There are still many people hoping you can be strong." " You've come back to life. Zhejiang Mountain is still waiting for you to reclaim it. Since you've consumed the essence left behind by the Divine Being, you should shoulder the responsibility of saving all living beings. Don't let everyone down."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "I will always remember Aunt's words."

Bai Fenghuang said, "These next few days, just stay on the Floating Island and rest and recover. Don't think about anything else."

Liu Lang responded and snuggled into Bai Fenghuang's arms, reaching out to hug her slender waist. He closed his eyes and said, "Aunt, I don't want to leave you."

Bai Fenghuang was startled by Liu Lang's sudden embrace, but seeing him with his eyes closed, like a child in her arms, she could only sigh. She silently thought to herself: "He truly loves me, unlike Lan Mengtang, who clearly loves me but hides it in his heart for a lifetime, making me wait bitterly for him in Phoenix Tower for sixteen years. In the end, it was all just a dream, leaving me heartbroken. It seems I was really wrong!"

Liu Lang, enjoying Bai Fenghuang's warm embrace, was unaware of her inner thoughts. He only felt admiration for her, never harboring any improper thoughts. Such a goddess-like, motherly figure—Liu Lang truly didn't want to defile her. How wonderful it would be if she could stay with him forever!

Liu Lang secretly opened his eyes, gazing at the bright moon outside the window. The moonlight was exceptionally beautiful, and Bai Fenghuang under it resembled a fairy from the moon palace. Every gesture she made seemed ethereal, truly unique in the world!

At that moment, Liu Lang noticed Bai Fenghuang was also looking at him. Without thinking, he grasped one of her delicate hands, and a warmth instantly ran through him, a current coursing through his body.

Liu Lang opened his mouth, wanting to call out Bai Fenghuang's name with deep emotion, but for some reason, he couldn't utter a word.

Seeing Liu Lang's strange expression, Bai Fenghuang felt a pang of shyness, a blush rising to her cheeks. This only fueled Liu Lang's excitement, but suddenly a sharp pain shot through his chest, causing him to cry out in pain and tremble violently.

Bai Fenghuang was immediately alarmed and hurriedly asked, "Liu Lang, what's wrong?"

Liu Lang's face contorted in agony as he pointed to his chest and said with difficulty, "It hurts so much!"

Bai Fenghuang quickly lifted the brocade quilt covering Liu Lang, revealing bulging muscles on his chest. The silver-white divine pill in the center of his chest emitted a dazzling silver light, making his skin almost transparent. Even the heart to the right of the pill was clearly visible, and with the throbbing of the silver pill, Liu Lang's heart was beating rapidly, threatening to burst.

Bai Fenghuang's mind raced. "Oh no! What I feared has finally happened!" she exclaimed.

With that, Bai Fenghuang quickly used the Eight Gates Life-Extending Technique, channeling her inner energy into Liu Lang's body to alleviate his pain.

"Sixth Brother, today is the fifteenth. When the moon is full, the essence left behind by the Bright God is alive. It desperately wants to merge with the other eleven primordial spirits, thus reviving the Bright God. Therefore, it is never at peace on the night of the full moon every year."

Sixth Brother gasped for breath, saying, "If the Bright God wants to be revived, then let it be revived! And wouldn't it be better to summon that other primordial spirit? There's no need to torture me like this! Isn't this trying to kill me? Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Sixth Brother writhed in pain, a burning sensation slowly burning within him.

Sixth Brother felt his blood and qi boiling like a raging sea. The white phoenix before him gradually blurred, while the burning desire in his chest burned endlessly. His blood, qi, and divine meridians solidified, his chest turned crimson, and the divine pill that still shone with silver light was radiating incomparably powerful energy.

Bai Fenghuang gripped Liu Lang's arm tightly, continuing to channel her inner energy into him with one hand, saying, "Liu Lang, don't be afraid... you must hold on, I will definitely find a way to save you!"

Liu Lang looked down at his chest and said, "Aunt, I'm starting to lose control! It's just like the feeling I had when Long Ji first gave me this divine pill a few days ago."

Bai Fenghuang said, "I understand, and this time it will be even stronger because you've already begun cultivating your spirit."

Bai Fenghuang looked at Liu Lang, somewhat troubled, and said, "Last time at the Seven Star Tower, someone helped you... and you escaped danger. This time..."

Liu Lang sighed and said, "Could it be that I need a woman to help me digest the energy released by the divine pill?"

Bai Fenghuang said, "Perhaps only in this way can it calm down. As long as you can absorb this energy, it should return to calm soon."

Liu Lang didn't dare to look Bai Fenghuang in the eye and lowered his head, saying, "But my wives are all in Flying Tiger City..."

Bai Fenghuang was silent for a moment, then said, "Liu Lang, now that things have come to this, let me help you!"

Liu Lang raised his head, looking at Bai Fenghuang, feeling the sincerity in her eyes. He forgot the pain in his chest and said, "Aunt, I thank you for your kindness, but in my eyes, you are a goddess. I would rather die than tarnish your purity to save my own life."

Bai Fenghuang's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected that she held such a high position in Liu Lang's heart. Her heart warmed, and she said, "Liu Lang, there is no other choice. I can't just watch you die. Yunfei and Xuefei will resent me for the rest of their lives, and even I won't forgive myself."

Bai Fenghuang's last words touched Liu Lang's heart. He looked at Bai Fenghuang again and asked: "Aunt, won't you regret doing this?"

Bai Fenghuang sighed. "Twenty years ago, for a man, I guarded Phoenix Tower alone, willingly remaining loyal to him for sixteen years. In the end, I exchanged sixteen years of loneliness and my prime years for a lesson—love must be left to fate!"

Liu Lang was overjoyed and asked, "Aunt, have you really forgotten him?"

Bai Fenghuang smiled and said, "I realized this the moment I smashed that priceless zither. But I will not forget him. Although Lan Mengtang was not a good man, he is still a great hero in my heart. He sacrificed himself to bring peace and prosperity to the world."

As she spoke, Bai Fenghuang couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Seeing this, Liu Lang thought: It's best not to stir up her memories of Lan Mengtang. I didn't expect her to offer to help me! Thinking of this, Liu Lang felt flattered and reached out to hug Bai Fenghuang's slender waist, saying affectionately, "Aunt, I really don't know how to thank you!"

Bai Fenghuang was a little shy when hugged by Liu Lang. Although she had been assaulted by Liu Lang here several months ago, Liu Lang was unaware of it, and Bai Fenghuang did not publicize it. After all, both of her nieces had become Liu Lang's wives, and she could only keep that matter hidden in her heart forever. But now she had no choice. Since she had already lost her virginity to him, she was essentially his woman. It should be reasonable for her to save him with her body now.

"Sixth Brother, although I agree to your request, don't have any improper thoughts about me. After all, I am the aunt of Consort Yun and Consort Xue. Their mother died early, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I am their mother. If it weren't for saving your life today, I would have..."

Bai Fenghuang paused for a moment, then continued, "In short, you must continue to respect me from now on, or I will be unhappy."

At this moment, Bai Fenghuang's body suddenly trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Then, she pressed down on Sixth Brother's hand, which was unbuttoning her bodice, and said, "Sixth Brother, I..."

Sixth Brother was taken aback. Looking at Bai Fenghuang's hesitant expression, he asked, "Aunt, are you regretting it? If you really don't want to, let's stop here. I said you will always be my goddess, and I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do."

Bai Fenghuang's majestic yet tender eyes gazed at Sixth Brother. Then, she slowly reached out and unbuttoned her bodice. Her inner garment slipped off her fragrant shoulders, revealing that her skin had turned pale red from the heat and emitted a faint fragrance. Beneath a pale white bodice, her full, firm breasts were visible, the deep cleavage glistening with an alluring sheen from the sweat, igniting a burning desire within Liu Lang. Coupled with the already raging fire in his chest, his breathing quickened.

At that moment, Liu Lang could no longer resist and buried his head between Bai Fenghuang's breasts…

Bai Fenghuang's body trembled slightly. Liu Lang's actions left her somewhat bewildered. Although she had once been intimate with Liu Lang, that time, aside from anger and shame, she felt nothing. If it weren't for Chai Mingge's earnest persuasion, she might have even contemplated ending her life.

This time, although Bai Fenghuang was offering herself to Liu Lang willingly, she still retained some reserve. When Liu Lang kissed her breasts, shame and inexplicable excitement surged up together, leaving her unsure whether to shyly resist or passionately accept. Lost in thought, Bai Fenghuang reached out and embraced Liu Lang's head, drawing him even closer to her body.

Liu Lang passionately kissed Bai Fenghuang's fair breasts, only lifting his head after a long while to gaze into her shy yet deeply affectionate eyes. He couldn't look away.

At that moment, Liu Lang forgot everything around him; his eyes were only on the goddess-like Bai Fenghuang. To possess her body and soul made him feel his life was complete!

Liu Lang stared intently at Bai Fenghuang, already captivated by her breathtaking beauty and elegant demeanor. With such a beauty in his arms, what was there to hesitate about? Ignoring the various reactions caused by the elixir within him, Liu Lang wanted to possess Bai Fenghuang while his mind was still clear.

He barely suppressed his fervor, lowering his head to kiss Bai Fenghuang's lips. As she was kissed, Bai Fenghuang's heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, and she became infinitely shy, her already beautiful face becoming even more alluring.

At this moment, the moonlight shone on Bai Fenghuang's fair, smooth, and delicate breasts, creating a velvety halo and radiating an alluring glow!

Although Bai Fenghuang was over thirty, there were no signs of age on her body. Her full, snow-white breasts stood proudly erect. Although her hand covered the rosy tip of one breast, it couldn't conceal the breast's rise and fall with her breath. Her waist was slender, her hips full and snow-white. Her long legs, though tightly closed, couldn't hide the lush pubic hair. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, Bai Fenghuang had no excess fat on her body.

Under Liu Lang's gaze, Bai Fenghuang felt slightly nervous, her body trembling slightly. Her appearance was both endearing and arousing, and Liu Lang silently cried out: "I must possess her!"

Liu Lang stared intently at Bai Fenghuang's goddess-like body, his entire being enveloped in an indescribable lust, his lower body involuntarily hardening.

Bai Fenghuang felt Liu Lang's burning gaze and looked down at his erect penis. Her delicate body trembled, and a faint blush rose all over her body, making her extremely charming and alluring!

Liu Lang kissed Bai Fenghuang's body greedily. He knew that Bai Fenghuang had profound internal strength and a firm Dao heart. If he couldn't suppress his desire and went straight in with a fierce and aggressive attack, it would not only fail to arouse her favor but also make her disgust. What he wanted to possess was not only her beautiful body but also her proud and lonely heart.

Liu Lang patiently caressed Bai Fenghuang's body. The pleasure he felt for his goddess was far more exciting than any direct pleasure he could experience. He parted her jade-like legs, revealing a sticky fluid flowing from her sacred place, which Liu Lang couldn't resist kissing…

Seeing the sweet love juice covering his lips, Bai Fenghuang covered her eyes in shame, saying, "Liu Lang, let me go! Don't do this! It's dirty there."

Liu Lang didn't stop, continuing to suckle the fluid, uttering infatuatedly, "Auntie, in my heart, you are a goddess of the mortal world. There is no dirty place on you. I love you, I love you to death!"

Liu Lang's suckling caused a surge of sweetness to flow from Bai Fenghuang's sacred place, and her body convulsed as she reached orgasm. The pleasure lingered, allowing this peerless beauty to finally experience the ultimate bliss of the mortal world.

Feeling refreshed both physically and mentally, Bai Fenghuang finally realized that her choice was right. Her sixteen wasted years of youthful years were finally being compensated. Tears of gratitude and happiness streamed down her face as she called out affectionately, "Liu Lang!"

Liu Lang knew that at this moment, a woman needed emotional comfort, not physical satisfaction. So he lifted his upper body and pressed down on Bai Fenghuang, his engorged member pressing tightly against her vulva. He then rested his chin between her full breasts and said softly, "Auntie, I really love you, but it might hurt a little..."

Bai Fenghuang nodded, wrapped her arms around Liu Lang's waist, and slightly parted her legs, saying, "Liu Lang, your auntie is willing to sacrifice herself to save you, so don't hesitate. I can handle it!"

Liu Lang hummed in agreement. Seeing that Bai Fenghuang had already let go, how could he be considered a man if he still resisted?

Liu Lang lovingly kissed Bai Fenghuang's lips, conveying tenderness and affection in their intertwined tongues. At the same time, he held her buttocks with both hands, spreading her jade legs apart. Then, he gently and slowly lowered himself, inserting his eagerly awaiting penis into Bai Fenghuang's body.

Bai Fenghuang's pretty face immediately flushed red, and even her breathing seemed to become hot. She could feel a hot rod slowly penetrating her body, gently moving upwards along her wetness, but only touching it lightly, refusing to go any further. It was like a fish wanting to take the bait, but being teased by the angler, wanting to bite but unable to, feeling uncomfortable. But Bai Fenghuang did not know that this was Liu Lang's consideration, to allow her to endure more foreplay and reduce pain.

Liu Lang suddenly stopped and whispered, "Auntie, did I hurt you?"

For the first time, Bai Fenghuang felt such a full and intense male heat, causing her to shake her head, trying her best not to let Liu Lang see the shame and panic in her eyes. But after a moment of hesitation, she still asked, "Liu Lang, are you ashamed that I'm not a virgin?"

Liu Lang clearly sensed that Bai Fenghuang wasn't a virgin, but he didn't want to say it. He had already won Bai Fenghuang's heart, and even though it wasn't her first time, Liu Lang was content. Only a tiny bit of regret prompted him to ask, "Auntie, can you tell me about your past?"

Please continue reading the synopsis

of episode 17 of *Rampaging Through the World*: [Note: The online version is titled *The Journey of a Noble Family*.] After a major defeat at Jinshatan, Liu Lang was rescued by Bai Fenghuang. To help Liu Lang resolve the crisis in Feihu City, Bai Fenghuang deployed her secret weapon, the Deep-Sea Shark, to ambush the Liao soldiers. What kind of variables will this introduce into the defense of Feihu City? The Yang family's female warriors believed that Liu Lang had perished at Jinshatan, casting a pall of gloom over Flying Tiger City. Adding to the gloom, Miao Xueyan was critically injured, leaving the women utterly helpless… Chapter One: Phoenix Returns to My Heart. Bai Fenghuang smiled bitterly, “Let bygones be bygones!” Liu Lang said, “If Aunt doesn’t want to talk about it, then forget it. But I must tell you, I truly didn’t despise you. To have your favor is enough for me; I have no other desires. And if you are willing, Aunt, I am willing to love you like this forever, until the end of time!” Bai Fenghuang chuckled upon hearing this, saying, “It’s rare to see such devotion from you. I’m deeply moved. But I want to tell you, my first time was taken by a little rascal. Will you help me get revenge?” Liu Lang’s heart sank upon hearing this, but he immediately replied, “Who was it? I will definitely catch him and have Aunt skin him alive before she can find peace.” "A deep grudge!" Bai Fenghuang said solemnly, "Several months ago, Mingge and I were discussing national affairs here when a little rascal sneaked onto the Floating Island at night. We caught him, but he accidentally ate a divine pill, causing him to lose his mind. Just then, I encountered a powerful enemy and my body was restrained, so that little rascal bumped into me and forcibly took my body..." Liu Lang was so surprised that his mouth dropped open, and he even forgot what was happening below him. He asked, "Aunt, the little rascal you're talking about is me?" Bai Fenghuang snorted and said, "Who else could it be but you? How do you think we should punish him? Should we skin him alive? Or disembowel him?" Liu Lang chuckled, his heart bursting with joy. He thought: I never thought I would have already taken my goddess, but I was kept in the dark. If it weren't for the divine pill acting up today, I probably would never have known about this in my entire life! Bai Fenghuang asked, "What are you laughing at? Are you happy because you got the better deal?" Liu Lang finally realized he was going to continue. While moving gently, he excitedly said, "Auntie, I never thought that little rascal would be me! I'm so happy now! I swear to God, I will take responsibility for you. I will marry you properly. I will love you for the rest of my life, and my heart will never change!" Bai Fenghuang shook her head and said, "But I don't want that. I just want to save your life. Liu Lang, hurry up and finish!" Liu Lang was in no hurry. He tightly embraced Bai Fenghuang's hot, naked body. This passionate embrace stimulated Bai Fenghuang even more. Under the soft moonlight, they relied entirely on touch to feel each other, making their bodies even more sensitive. "Auntie, if I didn't love you, I would have to know about possessing you. But now that I know, my heart belongs to you, Phoenix. Unless I die, I will be with you for the rest of my life!" Liu Lang's tone was extremely firm, and his unwavering determination moved Bai Fenghuang to tears of love. Liu Lang used his tongue to melt away Bai Fenghuang's glistening tears, and said affectionately, "Aunt, I know that many years ago, your heart burned as fiercely as mine, and you loved a man so intensely, but that man abandoned you. You believed that your unwavering loyalty to him would earn you a long and lasting love, but in the end, that man still betrayed you. So, in a fit of anger, you smashed the Jade Phoenix Zither to pieces, and from that moment on, I fell in love with you, Aunt! But I never asked anything of you. You are so high above me, beyond my reach, yet I have always longed to be with you." How embarrassing! Bai Fenghuang blushed upon hearing this, and couldn't help but hug Liu Lang, saying, "Liu Lang, don't say anymore! The most important thing now is to help your body return to normal. If that divine pill explodes in your body, the consequences will be severe! We can talk about those things later." Liu Lang hummed in agreement, then held his beloved Bai Fenghuang, his mind free of any other thoughts as he worked. The fiery heat of Liu Lang's body caused Bai Fenghuang's delicate frame to tremble slightly, almost unbearable. But things had come to this point, and she could only accept it. If she refused now, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain? So Bai Fenghuang tried her best to endure the thickness of Liu Lang's dragon spear, not letting herself cry out. Although Liu Lang couldn't see the expression on Bai Fenghuang's face, nor could he imagine her inner feelings, his actions were filled with a thousand tenderness. He gently kissed Bai Fenghuang's lips, teasing her delicate body to sway slightly, causing a torrent of spring water to gush from her peach blossom spring, making Bai Fenghuang almost lose herself in it. At this moment, Liu Lang whispered in Bai Fenghuang's ear, breathing hot air into her, and said, "Auntie, can you feel how good I am?" Bai Fenghuang asked shyly, "How good?" Liu Lang slowly said, "It makes you feel good! Auntie, haven't I given you great satisfaction?" Bai Fenghuang really didn't want to answer Liu Lang's question, so she pretended to be angry and said, "Liu Lang, don't ask me!" Liu Lang chuckled and said, "Auntie, you're mine now, so don't be so reserved. Actually, you've already accepted me in your heart, you're just too shy to say it." Bai Fenghuang said, "Who said I like you! Didn't I say that? I wouldn't do this if it weren't to save your life?" "... Upon hearing this, Liu Lang used his fiery dragon spear to grind against Bai Fenghuang's soft spot, saying, "You don't like me? Do you still love that wooden figure buried in the snow his whole life? He is indeed a great hero, but I am a great hero too! I now have soldiers and generals at my command, and I have conquered you, the most beautiful woman in the world." Bai Fenghuang angrily retorted, "You are not allowed to slander him!" Liu Lang said, "I didn't slander him! I admit that Lan Mengtang is a great hero, but in his heart, he values the peace of the world more than you. He considers the world first, and you, Aunt, are second. I really can't stand it! If it were me, I would rather give up the world and not be a great hero than neglect your sincere heart, Aunt."

At this moment, Liu Lang felt Bai Fenghuang tremble slightly beneath him, clearly moved by his sweet words. He gently rubbed his fiery dragon spear against her tender paradise while continuing, "Now I have to say, Lan Mengtang is an absolute idiot, a complete fool, because he betrayed your sincerity towards him, Aunt. If it weren't for me, your heart would have remained cold for the rest of your life."

Bai Fenghuang hummed in agreement and said, "Liu Lang, are you going to melt the unmelting ice deep within my heart?"

Liu Lang replied, "Don't even mention ice, I can melt even iron. Aunt, believe me, I will definitely make you happy!"

Bai Fenghuang didn't speak upon hearing this, but hugged Liu Lang even tighter.

Liu Lang felt an immense sense of pleasure. His sweet words and the actions beneath him were gradually winning over Bai Fenghuang's heart. Liu Lang felt the time was right; it was time for his explosion! He began to increase the speed of his attack, hoping to ignite all the passion within Bai Fenghuang.

Bai Fenghuang's delicate body trembled slightly, her silver teeth biting her red lips. Her hands tightly embraced Liu Lang's waist, awaiting his climax. Liu Lang, unable to bear further tormenting Bai Fenghuang, released all his semen in a rapid thrust.

Liu Lang trembled, holding Bai Fenghuang tightly, panting, "Auntie, I love you!"

That night, Liu Lang, embracing the most beautiful woman in the world, Bai Fenghuang, enjoyed several passionate encounters before falling into a sweet sleep.

The next morning, Liu Lang got up, dressed, and ate breakfast. He followed Bai Fenghuang to the sixth floor of the Seven Star Tower, arriving at a stone door.

Bai Fenghuang stepped forward and pushed against an inconspicuous stone. With a loud rumble, the stone door slid open to the left and right; the unassuming stone was the mechanism for opening and closing the door.

Liu Lang followed Bai Fenghuang through the stone door, revealing a passageway behind it.

Bai Fenghuang said, "This passage is called the Hell Passage. It's a murderous passage designed by the Seven Star Tower to prevent invasion by foreign enemies. Don't be fooled by its length of only about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). It's filled with numerous traps, such as fiery trapdoors, poisoned arrows and iron spears, putrid acid, and a mountain of knives and a forest of swords. It's arguably the most formidable in the world. No one can pass through it unless you are familiar with the mechanisms. Even if you are a great immortal, if you are trapped in this Hell Passage, no matter how powerful you are, you will suffer endless calamities and be reduced to ashes."

Liu Lang asked, "Aunt, with such tight traps here, is there some treasure hidden in this floor?" "

Bai Fenghuang said, "No, not at all. However, the Seven Star Tower isn't a place anyone can come and go as they please. The mechanisms and secret passages here are a mix of real and fake, designed to protect the Seven Star Armor-Piercing Diagram."

Bai Fenghuang spoke as she walked, and when she finished speaking, she had reached the other side of the passage. Then, she flicked a torch on the wall, and suddenly the passage burst into flames. The flames were blue, red, purple, and yellow, and their intensity was so great that even from ten feet away, one could feel the heat and feel one's body burning. It seemed that anyone who tried to force their way through would be reduced to ashes.

Seeing Liu Lang's astonishment, Bai Fenghuang slowly said, "These four-colored flames are called the Divine Refining Fire. As the name suggests, even immortals who come here cannot escape their fate."

As she spoke, Bai Fenghuang activated other mechanisms, which were equally powerful and terrifying. In total, this ten-foot-long passage contained five mechanisms: the Divine Refining Fire, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Bone-Melting Water, the Demon-Slaying Arrow, and the Soul-Searching Spear.

Upon seeing this, Liu Lang's eyes widened in astonishment. He had never imagined that such a powerful and terrifying secret passage existed in the world.

After passing through this passage and pushing open another stone door, a large hall appeared before Liu Lang and Bai Fenghuang.

Liu Lang couldn't help but think: "So many traps were designed to protect that Seven Star Armor-Breaking Diagram. It seems this diagram is priceless!" Thinking of this, Liu Lang couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, what treasure does this Seven Star Tower hold? Why are there so many traps?"

Bai Fenghuang went to a wall, took down a sword hanging on it, and said, "Actually, the Seven Star Armor-Breaking Diagram is just a map to break through this Seven Star Tower. If you don't understand the true meaning of the treasure, what's the use of breaking through the tower? Everyone says that Emperor Shizong left behind a treasure that is richer than a country. Indeed, there is such a treasure, but it's not here. The treasure here is the divine pill that Long Ji gave you. After all, if you can obtain the power of the Bright God, it's better than obtaining any treasure!"

Liu Lang nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing Bai Fenghuang draw the sword, Liu Lang stared intently. The sword was three feet long, its blade entirely transparent amethyst, reflecting a purple halo that spilled onto the ground in the light. He couldn't tell what it was made of.

Although Liu Lang was more than ten feet away from Bai Fenghuang, the sword's gentle aura remained undiminished, and just looking at its purple light sent a chill down his spine.

Bai Fenghuang said, "Liu Lang, this sword is called Purple Jade Golden Eye. It's a perfect pair with my Purple Jade Silver Eye, both beloved swords of Emperor Shizong. Now, this sword is yours!"

With that, Bai Fenghuang sheathed the Purple Jade Golden Eye and tossed it to Liu Lang.

Liu Lang took the Purple Jade Golden Eye and examined it carefully, admiring it greatly. He was especially overjoyed to hear Bai Fenghuang say it was a pair with her Purple Jade Silver Eye, thinking, "It seems my aunt has taken a liking to me!"

Bai Fenghuang said, "I also have a sword technique here called the Nine Forms of Xuan Tian, which has a total of eighty-one moves. Now I will teach it to you. You must learn it carefully. If you can't learn it today, we won't leave here!"

With that, Bai Fenghuang took out the Purple Jade Silver Eye Sword and demonstrated it to Liu Lang while explaining the Nine Forms of Xuan Tian.

Liu Lang watched Bai Fenghuang's movements very attentively and tried to learn diligently. However, Liu Lang's talent in this area was quite ordinary. Despite putting in a lot of effort, after Bai Fenghuang finished practicing, Liu Lang only remembered three or four tenths. But Bai Fenghuang didn't mind Liu Lang's slow pace; instead, she patiently taught him, helping him remember another ten percent.

Before they knew it, it was noon. At this time, two maids dressed in tight-fitting clothes appeared carrying food boxes.

Bai Fenghuang asked, "Ziju, is there any new news today?"

Ziju replied, "Island Master, the Liao soldiers stationed at Zhengding Pass and Waqiao Pass have begun to restrict access to the lake. They have mobilized a large number of troops and are patrolling the shore, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching the Floating Island. However, the scouts they sent out have returned safely. According to them, the Liao army's attack on Feihu City has been thwarted, and Yelü Sage has personally led an army of 100,000 to Feihu City."

Liulang cursed, "That guy is incredibly lucky to be alive! I clearly saw my elder brother's hidden arrow hit him!"

Bai Fenghuang continued to ask, "How is the southern front?"

Ziju shook her head and said, "The scouts sent to the southern front have not returned yet."

Bai Fenghuang nodded, then dismissed Ziju and the other woman, and then asked Liulang to have his meal.

After the meal, Bai Fenghuang asked, "Liu Lang, how are you feeling about your injuries?"

Liu Lang took a deep breath and said, "Aunt, I still feel a bit uncomfortable. That evil monk, Jiutian Xuanfo, is truly ruthless!"

Bai Fenghuang said, "You're already lucky! If it were anyone else, they would have been dead long ago!"

At this moment, Liu Lang suddenly remembered Miao Xueyan's injuries, and his heart sank. He said, "Oh no! Yanzi was also injured by Jiutian Xuanfo. Is she in danger?"

After Bai Fenghuang inquired in detail about how Miao Xueyan was injured, she said, "Her Buddha Light Sword Shadow's Deflection Technique should be able to help her resist some of Jiutian Xuanfo's attacks. Although her injuries are serious, she won't die immediately. As long as she can safely return to Feihu City and have Yunfei and Xuefei treat her, although she may not be fully recovered, she won't be in immediate danger."

Liu Lang was slightly relieved upon hearing this, but still said somewhat hastily, "Aunt, I've almost recovered, and through our dual cultivation, I've mastered the Heavenly Lightning Weaving Net. I really want to go back to Flying Tiger City immediately, firstly because I'm worried about my woman, and secondly because I want to avenge this arrow wound!"

Bai Fenghuang said, "Liu Lang, it's good that you haven't forgotten this grudge, but defeating the Nine Heavens Mystic Buddha won't be easy. We must plan carefully. Right now, the Liao Dynasty wants to take Flying Tiger City in one fell swoop, then flatten Woniu Pass and Jietang Pass, so as to join forces with Cheng Shijie in Shanxi and achieve their goal of occupying the entire north."

Liu Lang said, "Aunt, of course I know this, so I must hurry to Flying Tiger City to help them defend it."

Bai Fenghuang said, "Defending is certainly good, but it's not the best way to defeat the Liao Dynasty. We are currently outside..." "This is perfect opportunity to make a big fuss,"

said Liu Lang. "Then let's recreate the battle where I defeated Cheng Shijie at Jietang Pass with the help of an inside-outside force!"

Bai Fenghuang replied, "That won't work. Do you think the Liao generals are as stupid as you think? Would they give you the chance to coordinate an inside-outside attack? The Battle of Jinshatan proves that the Liao army's battle plan was superior to yours; they anticipated everything."

Liu Lang sighed and said, "I admit that. The defeat at Jinshatan taught me a great lesson."

Bai Fenghuang said, "It won't be easy for the Liao to capture Feihu City, and even if you return to Feihu City, it won't make much difference. Let's patiently wait a couple of days and see if the Liao makes any new moves. Then we'll find a way to disrupt their battle plan, which will also help Feihu City."

Liu Lang happily said, "Aunt, you're right. I'll listen to you. " "Yes. I need to take good care of my health so I can be ready to deal with any emergencies."

Bai Fenghuang continued, "Some of the scouts I sent out haven't returned yet. We should receive new information in the next couple of days, and then we'll use that intelligence to find the Liao's weakness and strike them hard!"

Liu Lang gave Bai Fenghuang an approving look and was about to hug her, but Bai Fenghuang stopped him, saying, "Don't be too happy yet, and you have something important to do this afternoon."

Liu Lang asked, "What is it?"

At this moment, Bai Fenghuang turned and left, and soon returned, carrying a piece of clothing. She threw it to Liu Lang and said, "Put on this water dragon robe first; you'll be going into the water this afternoon."

Liu Lang laughed, "Auntie, are you going to teach me to swim?"

Bai Fenghuang said, "Does swimming need to be taught? I want you to..." "Learn how to fight in the water and how to detonate it!"

Liu Lang suddenly became interested. He remembered the sharks Lan Mengdie encountered when chasing Lu Tao. Although Liu Lang hadn't experienced them firsthand, he was very curious just from hearing the description. However, he had never had the chance to see them, so he asked, "Auntie, the sharks at the bottom of your floating island lake are so powerful. Can you send me a couple to play with?"

Bai Fenghuang laughed and said, "I'm afraid those sharks won't recognize you. What if they eat you?"

Liu Lang asked, "Auntie, can you control those sharks?"

Bai Fenghuang said, "Nonsense! Those sharks were made by my brother and me. How could I not control them? I even plan to use those sharks to attack the Liao Dynasty!"

Liu Lang was quite intrigued by this and urged Bai Fenghuang to tell him her plan. However, Bai Fenghuang was in no hurry to tell him and instead led Liu Lang to the foot of the Seven Star Tower.
