Episode 13

Synopsis:

The Floating Island accepts amnesty, and Liu Lang not only wins the hearts of the Bai Yunfei sisters but also secretly pledges his life to Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo promises Liu Lang she will do her best to bring about a ceasefire between Liao and Song!

To deal with Cheng Shijie, Liu Lang is ordered to send Pan Feng to Shanxi under the guise of a marriage alliance to probe Cheng Shijie's strength. On the way, however, they encounter a group of black-clad men who launch a night attack…

Chapter 1: The Seven Star Tower Suppresses the Rebellion

. The Five Poisons Sect leader's hidden weapons all struck the crimson-blue energy wall launched by Bai Fenghuang, clanging and sparks flying.

Upon seeing this, Liu Lang exclaimed in shock, "So powerful?"

Bai Fenghuang calmly watched the Five Poisons Sect leader launch hidden weapons at her, her silver sword poised to strike, waiting for the Five Poisons Sect leader to reveal a weakness.

At this moment, the Five Poisons Sect leader panicked, causing his weapon-launching technique to become somewhat chaotic. The first three hidden weapons were fired in an instant, and when the Five Poisons Sect leader was about to launch the fourth, Bai Fenghuang struck first, rushing towards the Five Poisons Sect leader like a whirlwind.

The Five Poisons Sect leader felt a chill on her chest. By the time she realized the pain, Bai Fenghuang had already returned to her original position.

Han Tianyuan, sensing the danger, ordered, "Fire!" His

men fired arrows in the direction of Liu Lang and the others, a hail of arrows raining down on them.

Bai Fenghuang shouted to the three, "Retreat!"

She then brandished her sword to cover their retreat, and they finally retreated into the Seven Star Tower.

When Han Tianyuan led his troops up, the Seven Star Tower's main gate had already been closed by Liu Lang and his men. The gate was made of thick wooden planks, over a foot thick, and even covered with a layer of iron, making it extremely sturdy and impossible for human hands to open.

At this moment, Han Tianyuan went to the Five Poisons Sect leader to check her injuries. He discovered that the sword strike Bai Fenghuang had unleashed had nearly killed her; she was now on the verge of death.

Han Tianyuan said, "Master, hold on a little longer, I'll use the Eight Gates Life-Extending Technique to save you."

However, although Han Tianyuan said this, he knew in his heart that the Five Poisons Sect Master's life was in danger.

After Bai Fenghuang led Liu Lang and Bai Xuefei into the Seven Star Tower, Bai Xuefei said sadly, "Aunt, I didn't expect so many scoundrels to appear on the island. Father, he..."

Bai Fenghuang wiped away her tears and said, "I'm relieved that you're alright."

Bai Yunfei cried, "Aunt, I didn't expect that Lu Tao was such a bastard. He was involved in this rebellion long ago."

Bai Fenghuang nodded and said, "I know. What about Lu Tao now?"

Bai Yunfei said, "I killed him!"

Bai Fenghuang praised, "Well done! Yunfei, I'm sorry you sisters suffered."

Liu Lang bowed and said, "Aunt, I am Yang Liu Lang. I came to the Floating Island this time to be granted amnesty by imperial decree, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen on the island. What should we do next?"

Bai Fenghuang said, "Now on the Floating Island..." The troops have all been misled and coerced by Han Tianyuan and his son. We are currently inside the Seven Star Tower, and they cannot break in for the time being. However, if we want to reverse the current situation, we must first find a way to kill Han Tianyuan. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. I believe most of those who rebelled still have a conscience, but Han Tianyuan is not only skilled in martial arts, but also cunning. Killing him will not be easy. "

As Liu Lang and Xi Xi spoke, they came to the basement of the Seven Star Tower. Liu Lang only then realized that the Seven Star Tower had a basement. He saw a different world. In the middle was a shrine with a dragon-shaped cauldron on it. Around it were some exquisite porcelain pieces. Liu Lang had never seen this kind of porcelain before. He suddenly remembered the historical description of Chai porcelain: blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and resonant as a chime. He thought: Could this be Chai porcelain?

At this moment, Liu Lang noticed two people on the side of the dragon-shaped cauldron. One of them was bound, and it was Xiao Chuo.

"Empress Long Ji?"

Liu Lang stepped forward and bowed. Liu Lang was unaware that Long Ji was Chai Mingge's mother, the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even less aware that he had forcibly taken Long Ji's body.

At this moment, Liu Lang was very concerned about Xiao Chuo's situation. Even though he knew she was a woman, he still decided to conceal her identity, saying, "Young Master Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Bai Xuefei also asked in surprise, "Young Master Xiao, how is it you?"

Bai Fenghuang said coldly, "She is not Young Master Xiao. Her identity is the Princess Consort of Prince Jing of the Great Liao Dynasty, and the leader of the Black Tiger Hall of the Northern Court. She came to the Seven Star Tower to cause trouble several times. This time she fell into an ambush, so I captured her."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuefei was immediately shocked.

Xiao Chuo looked at Liu Lang and the others, smiled slightly, and said, "Bai Fenghuang, do you want to use me to threaten those people? It's useless. The Floating Island is already under our control. It's best if everyone sits down and discusses terms, and it's best not to start a fight."

Bai Fenghuang ignored Xiao Chuo's words and said to Bai Xuefei and her sister, "Take Xiao Chuo upstairs!"

With that, Bai Fenghuang led the way.

After a while, Liu Lang and the others climbed to the top of the Seven Star Tower. Bai Fenghuang then lit all the lights on the tower so that those below could see clearly what was happening up there. She then placed a silver sword against Xiao Chuo's neck and said to those below, "Han Tianyuan, look who this is! Quickly order your men to lay down their weapons! Brothers of the Floating Island, I know you are being coerced by the Han family father and son. It's not too late to surrender."

Bai Fenghuang's words had an effect, and Han Tianyuan's men began to murmur amongst themselves.

Seeing this, Han Tianyuan roared, "Han Bin, anyone who disrupts morale will be killed without mercy!"

Han Tianyuan looked at the top of the Seven Star Tower, snorted coldly, and said, "Although Lord Xiao is in your hands, I only obey Lord Cheng. For the sake of the Liao Dynasty and Lord Cheng's hegemony, even sacrificing Lord Xiao is worthwhile!"

After speaking, Han Tianyuan ordered, "Bring up all the gunpowder. If the people upstairs don't surrender, blow up the Seven Star Tower!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang deliberately sighed and said to Xiao Chuo, "They didn't even consider your life..." "I've witnessed their deaths!"

Xiao Chuo was immediately embarrassed and said to Han Tianyuan, "Han Tianyuan, don't act rashly. Cheng Shijie still has to obey my orders. Do you dare to disregard me?"

Han Tianyuan knew that if he wanted to save Xiao Chuo's life, he would lose the best opportunity to eliminate Bai Fenghuang. If he couldn't eliminate Bai Fenghuang soon, although he had the situation under control, he couldn't guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen. Moreover, if he wanted the people of the Floating Island to follow him wholeheartedly, he had to eliminate Bai Fenghuang.

After making up his mind, Han Tianyuan ordered his men to place explosives around the Seven Star Tower, preparing to blow it up and kill Bai Fenghuang and the others.

Seeing that Han Tianyuan ignored her words, Xiao Chuo naturally knew his thoughts and couldn't help but sigh softly, "In the Seven Star Tower, there is the most beautiful woman in the world, Bai Fenghuang, and this young and promising General Yang to accompany me to the Yellow Springs. I have no regrets in dying." After saying that

, Xiao Chuo smiled nonchalantly.

Bai Fenghuang frowned, watching Han Tianyuan's men quickly plant explosives around the Seven Star Tower. Knowing she couldn't use Xiao Chuo to blackmail Han Tianyuan, she considered charging down the tower to fight her way out, but feared she couldn't protect Liu Lang and the others. Even if she was the only one who escaped, it would be meaningless!

Bai Xuefei and Bai Yunfei remained silent, their faces ashen.

Liu Lang coaxed Xiao Chuo, "Han Tianyuan treated you like this, don't you hate him? Even if we die, you should take him down with you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuo turned to Bai Fenghuang and said, "Bai Fenghuang, there's no deep-seated hatred between us. Why fight to the death? If you trust me, remove the Six Ding Six Jia talisman from my body and let me go down and take Han Tianyuan's dog head. I'll definitely come back afterward."

Bai Fenghuang sneered, "If you had six swords, no one could defeat you! If you hadn't been greedy for the treasure beneath the Seven Star Tower and accidentally triggered the trap, I wouldn't have been able to catch you at all. Now, if I release you, even if you kill Han Tianyuan, I can't do anything to you unless you willingly submit."

Xiao Chuo said solemnly, "I guarantee it with my integrity!"

Bai Fenghuang asked suspiciously, "Why should I believe you?"

Xiao Chuo continued, "Han Tianyuan is determined to kill me. I will not rest in peace until he is dead."

Liu Lang said, "Aunt, I will vouch for her. If Xiao Chuo goes back on her word, I am willing to jump off the building and die!"

Bai Fenghuang was shocked to hear this and asked, "You and she are strangers, why do you trust her so much?"

Upon hearing Liu Lang's words, Xiao Chuo's face flushed, her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't help but look at Liu Lang.

Liu Lang said, "This isn't a matter of trust! Right now, only if you, Aunt, and Xiao Chuo join forces to kill Han Tianyuan can we possibly survive. Even if Xiao Chuo breaks her promise after it's done, at worst I'll lose my life, but at least you and Bai Xuefei can live."

Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei were so moved by his words that they didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Liu Lang secretly smiled to himself: This was a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone, winning the favor of the Bai Xuefei sisters while saving Xiao Chuo's life.

At this moment, Liu Lang secretly gave Xiao Chuo a knowing look. Xiao Chuo smiled knowingly and said, "Just for General Yang's eloquent words, I, Xiao Chuo, would never be a traitor. Otherwise, how could I command the army in the future?"

Bai Fenghuang pondered for a moment, then cut the ropes binding Xiao Chuo's wrists, removed the Six Ding Six Jia talismans, and returned the sword flask to Xiao Chuo, saying, "I'll lend you a hand!"

Xiao Chuo nodded and said, "I'll go down first!"

With that, Xiao Chuo leaped off the Seven Star Tower, with Bai Fenghuang following closely behind.

While Xiao Chuo was still in mid-air, she had already drawn six flying swords and headed straight for Han Tianyuan, while Bai Fenghuang dealt with the people who were planting explosives around the Seven Star Tower.

Bai Xuefei and Bai Yunfei, because their skills were not yet proficient, dared not rush forward to help, and Liu Lang dared not jump down either. So they stayed on the rooftop to protect Long Ji.

At this moment, Han Tianyuan was healing the Five Poisons Sect leader, but the leader's injuries were extremely severe and beyond saving.

Han Tianyuan then discovered that Xiao Chuo had suddenly descended from the sky, intending to kill him without a word. Han Tianyuan never dreamed that Bai Fenghuang would release Xiao Chuo. Han Tianyuan had thought that although he was no match for Bai Fenghuang, with so many subordinates, she couldn't harm him. He also thought that while the destruction of the Seven Star Tower would implicate Xiao Chuo, he could explain the situation to Cheng Shijie afterward and not take responsibility. However, Xiao Chuo immediately attacked Han Tianyuan, overwhelming him. Seeing

this, Han Bin quickly summoned the Five Poisons Sect leader's men to help Han Tianyuan, and a dozen of them took turns fighting Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo wielded six swords, seemingly possessing three heads and six arms, completely unafraid of her subordinates' attacks. However, killing Han Tianyuan alone would be no easy feat.

After killing the person responsible for planting the explosives, Bai Fenghuang came to assist Xiao Chuo.

As soon as Bai Fenghuang arrived, Han Tianyuan immediately felt overwhelmed and gave Han Bin a wink, indicating they were about to escape.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuo roared, "Where do you think you're going! Behold the power of my Hunyuan Sword Formation!"

With that, six swords flew out simultaneously, like six bolts of lightning streaking across the night sky, illuminating Xiao Chuo's cold yet exquisitely beautiful face.

At this moment, Xiao Chuo's figure floated into the air, while the six swords rapidly transformed in mid-air, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, from a thousand to ten thousand, and then millions of sword lights formed the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Hunyuan Sword Formation," trapping Han Tianyuan and his son, along with the Five Poisons Sect members, within.

Xiao Chuo moved like a dragon, weaving through the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Mixed Yuan Sword Formation. In an instant, she sheathed her six swords, and the Han family father and son, along with the Five Poisons Sect members, all lay dead on the ground.

Bai Fenghuang seized the opportunity to kill two of Han Tianyuan's trusted confidants and shouted to the others, "Everyone, Han Tianyuan is dead! Don't be so stubborn! I'll forgive you for the years you've followed us. Why don't you surrender now?"

Most of them had been forced to betray Bai Fenghuang because they didn't want to obey Han Tianyuan. Now that Han Tianyuan was dead, they threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Bai Fenghuang ordered those who refused to submit to Han Tianyuan to be imprisoned, and released those who refused to submit. The situation on the floating island finally stabilized.

At this time, Liu Lang's men also landed. Although they were government soldiers, since both sides had already made peace, they helped clear away the corpses and explosives.

Seeing this, Liu Lang and the Bai Xuefei sisters came down from the Seven Star Tower.

Liu Lang exclaimed happily, "Killing that traitor Han Tianyuan is truly gratifying!"

Bai Fenghuang glanced at Xiao Chuo and said coldly, "Xiao Chuo, what are your plans now? Are you going to surrender, or do you intend to escape the Floating Island with your unparalleled martial arts?"

Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "My word is my bond. Do as you please!"

With that, Xiao Chuo sheathed her sword and stretched out her hands.

Upon seeing this, Bai Fenghuang used the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman to lock Xiao Chuo's meridians and ordered her attendants to bind her hands before saying, "Xiao Chuo, I admire your courage, boldness, and integrity, but I cannot let you go. Tomorrow, I will use your head to appease the spirits of the fallen heroes of the Floating Island and the spirit of Bai Songlin in heaven."

With that, Bai Fenghuang ordered Bai Yunfei to imprison Xiao Chuo in the Seven Star Tower.

Seeing this, Liu Lang felt a chill in his heart. Watching Xiao Chuo's departing figure, he thought: Judging from Bai Fenghuang's tone, she wasn't joking; she was definitely serious. Besides, Xiao Chuo could have easily escaped after killing Han Tianyuan! Why did she have to play the hero?

After Bai Fenghuang redeployed the patrol forces on the Floating Island, she dismissed everyone, while Liu Lang and his accompanying soldiers were arranged to stay at the inn.

Regarding accepting the amnesty, Bai Fenghuang told Liu Lang not to worry; she would keep her word. However, before accepting the amnesty, she first needed to give an explanation to those who died in this rebellion. This reminded Liu Lang of what Bai Fenghuang had just said, and he thought: It seems she really intends to kill Xiao Chuo.

At the inn, Liu Lang tossed and turned, unable to sleep. With dawn approaching, he couldn't bear to watch Xiao Chuo die. He thought: No, I have to rescue her. With this thought, Liu Lang quietly went to the Seven Star Tower, bypassed the sentries, and secretly sneaked into the Seven Star Tower.

Liu Lang, relying on his memory, found the passage leading to the basement. Although he knew it was full of traps, his eagerness to save her disregarded everything else. Following the method Bai Fenghuang had used to lead him in, he stumbled through three stone doors and arrived at the Panlong Divine Cauldron, where he found Xiao Chuo bound.

Liu Lang rushed to Xiao Chuo and untied her.

Xiao Chuo calmly asked, "Why did you save me?"

Liu Lang replied, "Because you saved me before!"

Xiao Chuo said with a forced smile, "Last time at the Red Flower Pavilion, I saved you because..."

Liu Lang asked, "Why?"

Xiao Chuo swallowed her words.

Liu Lang was puzzled and said, "Xiao Chuo, I admire you as a truly heroic woman, and I don't want you to die like this."

Xiao Chuo thought: This silly boy probably doesn't know what we did together. Should I tell him?

Seeing Xiao Chuo's unusual expression, Liu Lang said, "Xiao Chuo, is there something you want to say to me? I have a feeling that you've taken a liking to me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuo blushed.

Seeing her blush, Liu Lang laughed and said, "So that's really how it is!"

Xiao Chuo snorted and said, "Stop pretending. You did that to me, don't you have to take responsibility?"

Liu Lang didn't understand the meaning behind Xiao Chuo's words and asked, "What are you talking about? Did I do anything to you?"

Xiao Chuo sighed and then told him about Liu Lang's insanity and the rape he committed at the Seven Star Tower. Xiao Chuo felt that Liu Lang needed to know this, but she didn't tell him about his subsequent affair with Chai Mingge.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang was stunned.

Xiao Chuo continued, "Yang Liu Lang should be a true hero. Since you took my virginity, shouldn't you take responsibility for me?"

"Your first time? Aren't you the Princess Consort of Prince Jing of the Liao Dynasty?"

Xiao Chuo said softly, "We only have the title of wife, we haven't consummated our marriage yet!"

Liu Lang was overjoyed upon hearing this and hugged Xiao Chuo tightly, kissing her face several times, saying, "I came to save you, it was the right thing to do!"

Xiao Chuo said, "Who cares if you save me!"

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Then who do you care to save you? The people on the island hate you to the bone, and Bai Fenghuang even believes that you are the culprit behind this rebellion, and is preparing to disembowel you and remove your heart tomorrow!" Xiao

Chuo said, "Since ancient times, who has not died? What is death? " "Fear?"

Liu Lang said, "But I can't bear to part with you!"

Xiao Chuo said, "What do you plan to do with me?"

Liu Lang said, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean?' I'm going to let you go! You saved me once, and I saved you once; it's called

repaying kindness with kindness." Xiao Chuo shook her head and said, "The Floating Island is surrounded by water, and I can't swim. You need to find a way to get me away."

Liu Lang exclaimed, "Me? I risked my life to save you from the Seven Star Tower. Besides, I don't know the waterway out of here. Oh no! How could I have overlooked this? But I have an idea: you go and capture me alive." "Just take Bai Fenghuang as a hostage,"

Xiao Chuo said. But Xiao Chuo replied, "Didn't you see Bai Fenghuang cast the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman on me? I'm completely unable to use my martial arts now. Taking her is just suicide!"

Liu Lang said anxiously, "Then what should we do? Why don't you come out with me first, and we'll think of something else? Otherwise, things will get complicated after dawn!"

Xiao Chuo nodded, placed her hand on Liu Lang's shoulder, and said, "I'm completely weak now. Carry me."

Liu Lang carried Xiao Chuo on his back, carefully leaving the Seven Star Tower and returning to the inn. Before dawn, he secretly slipped into his room, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "This is exhausting!"

Xiao Chuo smiled and asked, "How do you plan to get me off the Floating Island?"

Liu Lang thought for a moment and said, "When it gets light, Bai Fenghuang will be furious when she discovers you're missing and will definitely search the Floating Island extensively. I don't think she'll suspect that I saved you. I'll go get you some clothes now, and you can stay here disguised as a guard. If anyone tries to search, I'll handle it for you."

After a while, Liu Lang returned with a guard's uniform and had Xiao Chuo change into it.

While Xiao Chuo was changing her clothes, Liu Lang took the opportunity to caress her unusually full breasts, exclaiming in surprise, "How come your breasts are so big!"

Xiao Chuo slapped Liu Lang's hand away and said, "Don't even think about taking advantage of me. If you want to be with me, you'll have to surrender to the Liao Dynasty, otherwise... be careful, I'll turn on you without mercy."

Liu Lang chuckled and said, "Surrender to the Liao Dynasty? That would be too humiliating! Wouldn't it be better if you surrendered to the Song Dynasty? I'm now an imperial envoy, in charge of handling the amnesty matters. So, have you decided?"

Xiao Chuo snorted, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and said, "Then stay away from me."

Liu Lang hugged Xiao Chuo and lay down on the bed, about to kiss her, but Xiao Chuo stopped him, saying, "Think it over before you do that kind of thing to me."

Liu Lang said, "What are you thinking about? I'm tired. Can I hold you and sleep for a while?"

After saying that, Liu Lang hugged Xiao Chuo and fell into a deep sleep.

How could Xiao Chuo possibly sleep at this time? She closed her eyes to rest while listening intently to the sounds outside.

Soon, dawn broke! Xiao Chuo heard a faint commotion in the distance, realizing she had been discovered missing, and quickly woke Liu Lang.

Liu Lang rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up, listening intently to the sounds outside.

Just then, a guard outside the door reported, "Reporting to Lord Yang, Miss Bai requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang gave Xiao Chuo a wink, and Xiao Chuo immediately hid behind the bed curtains.

After Liu Lang saw that Xiao Chuo had hidden herself, he opened the door and saw Bai Xuefei walk in. She said to him, "Liu Lang, something bad has happened! Xiao Chuo has escaped!"

Liu Lang pretended to be surprised and asked, "What happened? Are there still Han Tianyuan's followers on the island?"

Bai Xuefei said anxiously, "It's hard to say, but my aunt is very angry and has ordered martial law to be imposed on the entire island for a full-scale search for Xiao Chuo. She sent me here to check because she had stayed at the inn before and might be hiding here."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Then I have to search carefully. Xiao Chuo's martial arts are very powerful, and she might try to ambush me."

As he spoke, Liu Lang gathered the soldiers he had brought and ordered them to search the inn carefully, but they did not find Xiao Chuo.

Liu Lang said to Bai Xuefei, "Could she have already left the Floating Island?"

Bai Xuefei shook her head and said, "It's unlikely! Liu Lang, Xiao Chuo is very dangerous. You'd better be careful. I'll go back and report to my aunt first. Also, after breakfast, come to the Seven Star Tower. My aunt has something to discuss with you."

Liu Lang nodded in agreement.

After seeing Bai Xuefei off, Liu Lang closed the door and let Xiao Chuo out, saying, "Xiao Chuo, everyone's looking for you everywhere!"

Xiao Chuo replied disdainfully, "Let them search! At worst, they'll just arrest me again. Tell me, what does Bai Fenghuang want with you?"

Of course, Liu Lang couldn't tell Xiao Chuo about his relationship with the Bai sisters, so he said, "Bai Fenghuang is looking for me, definitely to deal with the matter of surrendering to the Floating Island."

Xiao Chuo asked again, "Then why do you call her aunt? And why did she accept your surrender?"

Liu Lang was taken aback, but immediately replied, "She's older than me, so of course I have to call her aunt. I can't call her sister, can I? As for why Bai Fenghuang accepted my surrender, you can only ask her!"

Xiao Chuo still pressed on with some suspicion, "When the Bai sisters were with you, what were their expressions and eyes like?" "God is very ambiguous. Do you have some kind of ambiguous relationship with them?"

Liu Lang said anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense! This concerns the reputation of these young ladies. If I anger them, my plan to be recruited by the emperor might fall through. You know I signed a military pledge; if I fail to be recruited, I'll lose my head."

Xiao Chuo laughed, "Cutting off your head would be the best thing. Who told you to try and take the Floating Island from me?"

Liu Lang said, "Take it from you? It was Bai Fenghuang who voluntarily surrendered. What could I do? You're clearly the one ruining my plans, and I haven't even argued with you, yet you turn around and accuse me!"

Xiao Chuo snorted and suddenly asked, "So, when we met on the Floating Island last time, you already had ulterior motives?"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Chuo continued, "Then you already knew about my disguise as a man?"

Liu Lang chuckled, "Your place is so big, even a fool could see you're a woman, unless you're trying to fool someone without a brain."

As he spoke, Liu Lang reached out to touch Xiao Chuo's breasts.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuo grabbed Liu Lang's wandering hand and said, "I really underestimated you. I never imagined you could be so cunning… I'll ask you again, when you were bullying me, were you pretending to be stupid?"

Liu Lang laughed, "That time I was truly out of my mind, but this time I'm perfectly clear-headed."

With that, Liu Lang swept Xiao Chuo up in his arms and tossed her onto the bed.

Xiao Chuo asked in terror, "What do you want to do?"

Liu Lang's face darkened, and he said, "I'm going to rape you!"

Xiao Chuo retorted angrily, "You dare?"

Liu Lang laughed, "Why wouldn't I dare? You're currently under the influence of Bai Fenghuang's Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, which restricts your martial arts. However, if you cooperate, that's a different story! You can also enjoy yourself."

As he spoke, Liu Lang tore open Xiao Chuo's clothes, revealing her white silk undergarment. Because Xiao Chuo was disguised as a man, she wasn't wearing a bellyband, so when Liu Lang removed the silk undergarment, a pair of high, firm breasts immediately sprang out.

Liu Lang's eyes lit up instantly, and he touched Xiao Chuo's breasts with both hands, thinking: They're so big! Although large, they're still firm, soft, and extremely elastic. I love them to death.

Xiao Chuo struggled a few times, then gave up, looking at Liu Lang with her captivating almond-shaped eyes.

Liu Lang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Chuo said, "A couple of days ago, I had a dream, I dreamt that..."

Liu Lang asked, "What did you dream about?"

Xiao Chuo blushed and whispered, "I dreamt that I was pregnant with your child."

Liu Lang was taken aback and blurted out, "That's a troublesome problem..."

As he spoke, Liu Lang's hands involuntarily slowed down.

Xiao Chuo asked, "Why did you stop? Are you afraid?"

Liu Lang smiled bitterly, "No, I was thinking, if you were pregnant with my child, how would we fight the war between the Song and Liao dynasties?"

Xiao Chuo coldly replied, "Fight as we see fit! My current identity is the Princess Consort of Prince Jing of Liao. If I were to have your child behind his back, and he found out, I would be unable to stand in Liao. So… I cannot keep this child."

Liu Lang exclaimed anxiously, "How can that be? He is my son! How can you just say you don't want him?"

Xiao Chuo calmly said, "I make my own decisions. Besides, it's not that I don't want him, it's that I cannot have him."

Liu Lang said, "Why don't you just surrender to the Song dynasty?"

Xiao Chuo shook her head and said, "Our Xiao family… " We are a famous family in Daliao, with more than 400 people. If I surrender to the Song Dynasty, my family will be killed! You don’t need to persuade me. Besides, it’s just a dream. You still take it seriously. You want me to give birth to a son for you. You think so! "

Mukuro said with a serious expression: "I'm not joking, not to mention that this kind of thing is impossible to say. Besides, I am very powerful, and it may not be impossible to get you pregnant in one go.

Xiao Chuo smiled and said: "Yo!" Still very powerful? Why can't I feel it?

Liu Lang said: "Really?" Then I will let you feel it now. "

After that, Liu Lang took off his coat and was about to go into battle. At this time, someone came from outside the door and reported: "Master Yang, the White Phoenix of Hanging Island is here to invite you.

Liu Lang responded: "I know, I'll go right away." "

With that said, Liu Lang put on his clothes helplessly.

Liu Lang turned to Xiao Chuo and said: "It's really disappointing, otherwise I will let you taste my power, but after I finish handling this matter, I will come back to you immediately, so don't run around. "

After that, Rokuro walked out of the room.

Chapter Two: The Beauty of Xiao Chuo in the Liao Dynasty

At this moment, Liu Lang saw Bai Xuefei standing at the door and was startled. He quickly closed the door and whispered, "Xuefei, why are you here?"

Bai Xuefei said unhappily, "Auntie has been waiting impatiently. Why are you dragging your feet?"

Liu Lang pulled Bai Xuefei out of the courtyard and said, "Xuefei, you know that you two sisters have been taking turns, and you were up most of the night last night. Can't I get some more sleep?"

Bai Xuefei blushed upon hearing this and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's embarrassing if others hear it. But I've already told Auntie about what happened between you and my sister."

Liu Lang quickly asked, "And Auntie's attitude?"

Bai Xuefei said, "One..." At first, Aunt was very surprised, but in the end she acquiesced. Aunt had originally intended to accept the amnesty through marriage, and then there was the matter between you and my sister. But if my sister and I were to marry you together, would your parents agree?

Liu Lang thought for a moment and said, "My father has always advocated loyalty and righteousness. Now I am acting on imperial orders to handle the amnesty of the Floating Island. Marrying you and Consort Yun is for the sake of the Song Dynasty. Of course my father would agree if he knew. Not to mention marrying you two, even if there were two more, what would it matter?"

Consort Bai Xue angrily said, "You... you're talking nonsense again. How many women would want to be with you?"

Liu Lang chuckled and said, "Just joking. Let's go!"

After saying that, Liu Lang called two officials from the Ministry of Rites and they headed towards the Seven Star Tower.

Inside the Seven Star Tower, Bai Fenghuang and Long Ji waited solemnly, while Consort Bai Yun had already prepared the necessary items, ready to accept the amnesty.

Liu Lang respectfully said to Bai Fenghuang, "Aunt, although you are my elder, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the proper etiquette for accepting amnesty must still be observed."

Bai Fenghuang glanced at Long Ji, who nodded and said, "I know all this. Please read the imperial edict."

Liu Lang, fearing he might not read it well, had an official from the Ministry of Rites do it for him. The two officials then produced the imperial edict and the imperial seal.

After the edict was read, Liu Lang said to Bai Fenghuang, "Aunt, you must know about the Yun Fei sisters. When can I marry them?"

Bai Fenghuang said, "What makes you so special that both of my nieces have taken a liking to you?"

Liu Lang said, "We've been through thick and thin together, and I will definitely treat them well after the marriage."

Bai Fenghuang said, "You must treat the Yun Fei sisters well, or I won't forgive you."

Liu Lang turned his head and saw that both the Yun Fei sisters were blushing.

At this moment, Liu Lang instructed the officials from the Ministry of Rites to bring the imperial edict to Bai Fenghuang.

After the matter of surrendering to the emperor was settled, Liu Lang said, "Aunt, from now on, this Floating Island will be part of the imperial army, and local officials will definitely take over..."

Bai Fenghuang smiled and said, "You can send officials to supervise, but I cannot hand over command. If there is anything that needs the help of the Floating Island, you can command the troops there."

Liu Lang was overjoyed to hear this and had the two officials from the Ministry of Rites testify, which was enough to satisfy Zhao Guangyi.

Bai Fenghuang said, "I had already captured Xiao Chuo, but she escaped last night. Otherwise, I could have killed her today and presented her head to Emperor Taizong, thus demonstrating that the Floating Island and the Liao Dynasty are irreconcilable enemies."

Liu Lang said, "That Xiao Chuo, Xuefei and I have both witnessed her skills. She is truly formidable. Anyway, she has escaped, so Aunt, please don't worry about this matter anymore! Your intentions will be truthfully reported to the Emperor by the two officials and me when we return. I will now prepare to return and report back."

Bai Fenghuang said, "Very well, I have already instructed the servants to prepare a banquet to entertain you. After the meal, I will send someone to escort you off the island this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang decided to leave the Floating Island that afternoon.

At noon, after the banquet, Bai Fenghuang sent Bai Xuefei to escort Liu Lang off the island.

Because Xiao Chuo was with him, Liu Lang dared not be intimate with Bai Xuefei, which puzzled her. She whispered, "Liu Lang, why are you so well-behaved?"

Seeing that no one else was in the cabin, Liu Lang boldly slipped his hand inside Bai Xuefei's clothes, causing her to giggle. Liu

Lang quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Be careful someone hears."

Bai Xuefei nodded and asked, "Liu Lang, when will you come to see me again?"

Liu Lang replied, "I'll come back to see you in a few days."

Bai Xuefei nodded shyly, saw Liu Lang off from the Floating Island, and then reluctantly returned to the island herself.

At this time, Liu Lang ordered the ship to change course to Zhen Ding Prefecture and summoned Xiao Chuo and the two officials from the Ministry of Rites to the cabin.

The two officials from the Ministry of Rites asked in bewilderment, "Sir, why aren't you rushing back to report? What are you doing going to Zhen Ding Prefecture?"

Liu Lang laughed, "These past few days, everyone has worked hard following me. If I were to return to Waqiao Pass like this, they certainly wouldn't be at ease."

As he spoke, Liu Lang opened a red lacquered box, took out a stack of silver notes, and said, "These are the silver notes used to pacify the Floating Island. There are three thousand taels in total. Now that the matter is settled, we don't need these silver notes anyway. You two can take them and distribute them to your men. Everyone can rest for the night and enjoy yourselves."

The two officials from the Ministry of Rites said happily, "Lord Yang is truly wise and righteous. We thank you on behalf of everyone. But sir, you..."

Liu Lang laughed, "Tonight, I'm going to have a few drinks with this sworn brother. If it weren't for him, how could I have succeeded in pacifying the island? Also, remember that you must return to report by tomorrow morning. Anyone who delays will be executed without exception. And after the ship docks, send me a table full of fine wine and food."

Upon hearing this, the two officials from the Ministry of Rites happily took their leave.

At this moment, Liu Lang embraced Xiao Chuo, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Tonight, we won't stop until we're drunk. You have to drink a few cups with me."

Xiao Chuo laughed and said, "Okay! But I need to bathe and change."

Liu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Of course, and you should dress up beautifully. I'll have someone prepare it."

After the boat docked at the Yongding River pier, soon someone set out wine and dishes on the table, and then brought in an extra-large boxwood tub, into which more than ten tubs of prepared water were poured.

At this moment, Liu Lang ordered the servants to leave, and then opened a bundle, which was full of luxurious women's clothes. Liu Lang said, "Xiao Chuo, these are all clothes that I had someone buy from Zhengding Prefecture. Would you like to take a look?"

Xiao Chuo glanced at the clothes in Liu Lang's hand and said, "Put them there. I need to bathe. You can leave."

Liu Lang said, "Really? I wanted to swim with you like mandarin ducks!"

Xiao Chuo laughed and said, "I'll let you pour the water later."

After saying that, Xiao Chuo pushed Liu Lang out of the cabin.

Liu Lang sighed, closed the cabin door, and said, "Xiao Chuo, I'll keep watch at the door. You'd better hurry up." Xiao Chuo replied, "I know."

Liu Lang, still worried, ran to the window and saw Xiao Chuo undressing. He secretly smiled, returned to the bow, and watched his men go ashore to have some fun. Thinking of Xiao Chuo's naked body, his lower body became increasingly aroused. He asked, "Are you done washing?"

Xiao Chuo replied, "I just started. I usually take more than an hour to bathe. Can you wait patiently for a while?"

Liu Lang thought to himself: An hour? I can't wait even a minute! Ah! There's a back door to this cabin!

At this moment, Liu Lang took off his boots, silently jumped into the water, and swam to the stern. The so-called back door was just two windows, but because of the screen separating them, Xiao Chuo, who was bathing, didn't notice when Liu Lang climbed in.

Through the screen, Liu Lang saw Xiao Chuo soaking naked in a boxwood tub. The glimpse of her bare shoulders and back made his blood boil. He immediately took off his wet clothes and ran over.

At that moment, Xiao Chuo was rinsing herself with water. When she suddenly saw Liu Lang rushing in naked, she cried

out in fright and covered her chest with her hands.

Liu Lang stepped into the wooden tub, then embraced Xiao Chuo from behind, his hands cupping her breasts. He said, "Xiao Chuo, I thought it would be inconvenient for you to bathe alone, so I came in to keep you company."

Xiao Chuo, hearing this, playfully punched Liu Lang in the chest with her elbow, saying angrily, "You're unbelievable! You promised not to disturb my bath, but you still came in to bully me."

Liu Lang hugged Xiao Chuo, kissed her cheek, and said, "Who told you to make me wait an hour? I can't wait a moment longer."

As he spoke, Liu Lang stroked Xiao Chuo's fragrant shoulders and bare back, finding them smooth and inviting, and his nose filled with her orchid-like, musky fragrance. His heart was filled with boundless affection for Xiao Chuo.

Liu Lang murmured to himself, "Xiao Chuo, Xiao Chuo, I love you to death in this life and the next..."

He kissed Xiao Chuo while caressing her high, firm breasts.

At this moment, Xiao Chuo slowly became somewhat unable to control herself. In fact, ever since she lost her virginity to Liu Lang at the Seven Star Tower, Xiao Chuo knew that she could not escape him. This love was the kind that arose spontaneously under duress. As time passed, Xiao Chuo could vaguely sense how important Liu Lang was to her.

Receiving Liu Lang's intoxicating kisses, Xiao Chuo began to revel in them, and then the two kissed and caressed each other's bodies.

Xiao Chuo's face was already flushed, full of passion, and her beautiful eyes shot out two burning flames. Her body lay back on the boxwood tub, revealing her curvaceous figure.

Looking at Xiao Chuo's shapely figure, Liu Lang immediately felt a surge of heat from the bottom of his heart, and involuntarily reached out his strong hands to hold her tightly.

Xiao Chuo's skin was as white as jade, crystal clear, with both a beautiful and shy pink, a holy and noble temperament, and an undisguised ethereal beauty. A thousand kinds of charm were cleverly blended in her.

Liu Lang eagerly kissed Xiao Chuo, simultaneously stroking her hair with one hand. After a long while, he removed the jade hairpin that bound her hair, and her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, accentuating her celestial beauty and adding to her otherworldly grace.

At this moment, Liu Lang secretly exerted force, thrusting his hard penis into Xiao Chuo's honeyed cave. Due to the excessive force, their bodies collided, splashing countless droplets of water.

Xiao Chuo groaned, pushing against Liu Lang's shoulders with both hands, saying, "Liu Lang, you're going to kill me."

Liu Lang knew he had hurt Xiao Chuo, so he quickly kissed her, whispering sweet words to comfort her, while inwardly he was already ecstatic, thinking: I actually possessed the future Empress Dowager Xiao, who would later rule the Liao Dynasty, and she actually told me I was her first man! This is so incredibly satisfying!

Thinking this, Liu Lang slowed his movements, his fiery lips leaving marks on Xiao Chuo's delicate cheeks, her glistening ears, and her tender neck.

At this moment, Xiao Chuo regained her senses slightly and whispered, "I'm not in pain anymore."

Liu Lang said happily, "Then I won't be polite! Don't blame me for not being gentle! I have a long way to go, so I'll do my utmost to make sure you always remember my kindness!"

With that, Liu Lang cupped Xiao Chuo's high, beautiful breasts and began to move vigorously…

Liu Lang stared intently at Xiao Chuo's exquisitely beautiful face. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her lips parted slightly, and her fair cheeks, like white jade, flushed a rosy hue, as if she were drunk. Even her earlobes and jade-like neck were crimson, exuding a seductive aura. Her breasts were like blooming flowers, waiting to be plucked by swarms of bees and butterflies.

When Liu Lang embraced Xiao Chuo, he could feel the remarkable elasticity of her breasts, and he couldn't help but grasp her full breasts with his hands.

Xiao Chuo's body flushed pink from Liu Lang's teasing, waves of unbearable heat rising within her, making her unable to withstand it. She gasped, "No...don't do this...it's so hot...mmm...ah..."

A misty vapor enveloped Xiao Chuo, her dark hair glistening with water droplets, cascading over her smooth, bare back. Her jade-like skin was slightly flushed from the passion of the moment, her full breasts rising and falling gently. Her exquisite figure captivated Liu Lang, igniting his own desire.

Liu Lang's left hand caressed Xiao Chuo's ample breasts, while his right hand moved down to her lower abdomen, kissing her fair neck. His tongue lightly touched the skin on the back of her neck, the tingling sensation making Xiao Chuo weak all over.

As Liu Lang's lips slowly moved from the back of Xiao Chuo's neck to behind her ear, his tongue licking her earlobe a few times, she couldn't help but let out a soft, seductive moan.

After toying with Xiao Chuo's upper body, Liu Lang shifted his focus to her lower body. He lifted Xiao Chuo's calf with his left hand, holding her jade-like foot in his grasp.

Xiao Chuo's feet were fair and delicate, her ankles flawless and her toes perfectly proportioned. As Liu Lang pinched her toes and lightly tickled her soles, her soft, delicate feet involuntarily pulled back.

Liu Lang stroked Xiao Chuo's beautiful legs, moving from the instep to the calf, then towards the inner thigh.

Xiao Chuo moaned and opened her beautiful legs wide. Liu Lang then kissed the soft skin of the inner thigh, covering it with his saliva. His tongue then moved towards her vulva, the faint, erotic scent stimulating him.

Liu Lang licked the petals with his tongue, causing Xiao Chuo to groan involuntarily: "No...no...it's so itchy...so...uncomfortable..."

Liu Lang licked the dense black forest of Xiao Chuo's lower body, sucking on the plump petals. His tongue parted the petals, revealing the enchanting entrance, licking the bud at the entrance, and then sticking his tongue inside, sucking the sweet love nectar.

Xiao Chuo's face flushed, and she let out soft, seductive moans.

Liu Lang quickly grabbed Xiao Chuo's two slender jade legs, then thrust his dragon spear into the alluring petals.

"Xiao Chuo, did you see? I'm in!"

Liu Lang said excitedly.

"Ah! So deep!"

Xiao Chuo couldn't help but groan.

Liu Lang looked at Xiao Chuo's stunningly beautiful face, and his dragon spear continued to slowly penetrate deeper.

"It's a legendary treasure?"

Liu Lang exclaimed happily, "Xiao Chuo, I love you to death! You're like five dragons playing with a pearl!"

Xiao Chuo could clearly feel Liu Lang's dragon spear already inside her, stretching and filling her until it reached the depths of her body, causing her to cry out in pleasure, "Ah! Liu Lang..."

"Xiao Chuo, I love you."

Liu Lang cupped Xiao Chuo's face in his hands, kissing her neck. His heavy breath made Xiao Chuo's heart itch and her body go numb, and Liu Lang's dragon spear began to thrust in and out of Xiao Chuo's tight legendary treasure.

Xiao Chuo cried out "Ah! Ah!"

incessantly, her love juices gushing out with Liu Lang's thrusting movements, making her valley sticky and unbearable. She could only grit her teeth and endure this intoxicating pleasure.

Liu Lang's hands grasped Xiao Chuo's ample breasts, caressing and kneading them. Watching her breasts change shape only fueled his excitement, and he thrust even harder, making Xiao Chuo feel as if her soul had soared to the heavens. Then, Liu Lang asked with a wicked grin, "Xiao Chuo, how is it? Feeling beautiful, right?"

Xiao Chuo gasped and nodded repeatedly, but Liu Lang was still not satisfied and wanted her to say it.

Xiao Chuo could only gasp and say, "Beautiful...so beautiful..."

"Where is it beautiful?"

Liu Lang said with a wicked grin, "Aren't you going to call me husband?"

After saying that, Liu Lang began to thrust violently.

"Husband, I...ah! I...I can't take it anymore...I'm going to...I'm going to come..."

Xiao Chuo's words were only halfway through when her body suddenly stiffened, then trembled, and her vagina contracted violently, tightly gripping Liu Lang's dragon spear. Then, with a "squelch," a large gush of love fluid gushed out.

Seeing Xiao Chuo utterly exhausted from pleasure, Liu Lang placed her on the bed, then lifted her legs and thrust his spear again. After a few thrusts, Xiao Chuo was once again panting heavily. Her

previous climax hadn't subsided when Liu Lang's thick, hard penis brought her to the brink of ecstasy, her breath coming in gasps.

Xiao Chuo moaned with pleasure, swaying her beautiful hips and lifting her snow-white legs to wrap around Liu Lang's waist, responding to his movements.

At this moment, Xiao Chuo couldn't withstand Liu Lang's vigorous thrusts; her whole body trembled, her inner walls contracting tightly, gripping Liu Lang's penis. Suddenly, streams of love juice gushed out, drenching Liu Lang's penis, giving him immense pleasure.

Xiao Chuo's wanton appearance spurred Liu Lang to thrust even more vigorously, as if he wouldn't be satisfied until he pierced her very core.

Xiao Chuo was driven to ecstasy by the penetration, panting heavily, her eyes glazed with desire. Her entire body felt incredibly pleasurable, her lower body already soaked with fragrant sweat and vaginal fluids. Suddenly, Xiao Chuo's body convulsed, then she tightly embraced Liu Lang, and a gush of hot love fluid spurted out.

At this moment, Liu Lang felt an intense tingling sensation at his head, causing him to tremble violently. Then, like a volcanic eruption, he ejaculated his scalding semen deep into Xiao Chuo's core.

Xiao Chuo groaned as Liu Lang's hot semen hit her: "Oh... Husband... Liu Lang... It feels so good..."

Liu Lang and Xiao Chuo reached their climax simultaneously, clinging tightly to each other, savoring the afterglow.

Xiao Chuo felt the pleasure surging within her, her cheeks flushed, her eyes closed, intoxicated by extreme comfort and pleasure. But she was, after all, a master of her time; after Liu Lang's union with her, the immense energy of his spiritual essence was absorbed by Xiao Chuo.

Seeing that Xiao Chuo remained silent with her eyes closed, Liu Lang was about to leave her side when she stopped him.

Xiao Chuo softly said, "Liu Lang, embrace your inner strength and follow me on a spiritual journey."

Liu Lang suddenly understood, thinking: No wonder she was so proactive; she was waiting to absorb my inner energy! But it's better to keep it within the family, especially since this kind of thing is entirely beneficial to me.

At this moment, it was already dark outside, and moonlight shone through the gauze window, illuminating Xiao Chuo's exquisite face.

Xiao Chuo nestled in Liu Lang's arms and said sweetly, "Liu Lang, one day we might meet again on the battlefield. I really don't know if you can love me as much as you do today under such circumstances."

Liu Lang smiled and said, "Xiao Chuo, I swear, I will never betray you in this life, and the situation you imagine will never happen. You will always be the one I love most. How could I hurt you?"

Xiao Chuo said sadly, "The world is ever-changing and unpredictable. As long as the Song and Liao dynasties are not at peace, we will always be enemies." Liu Lang

said, "I will make the Song and Liao dynasties change because of my feelings for you, and make the two countries cease hostilities and make peace. What's wrong with that?"

A cloud of sorrow appeared on Xiao Chuo's brow, and she said, "Emperor Muzong of Liao is ambitious. His idea of peace talks is simply absurd. This situation will never happen."

Liu Lang chuckled, "Let's live for today! We don't care about Emperor Taizong of Song or Emperor Muzong of Liao. You're the only one in my eyes. I'll help you conquer this world, then help you govern it, and make you the Empress."

Xiao Chuo asked joyfully, "Are you telling the truth or lying? You really want to help me conquer this world?"

Liu Lang shook his head, "How could I lie to you! Xiao Chuo, the world is yours, but… you are mine, mine alone. If you promise me, I promise you."

With that, Liu Lang reluctantly left Xiao Chuo's body, lay down close beside her, and slowly drifted off to sleep…

Liu Lang slept soundly until noisy footsteps sounded outside, waking him.

Looking out the window, he saw that it was already bright outside, the sunlight shining on Xiao Chuo's face, making her snow-white skin seem completely transparent, leaving Liu Lang speechless.

Seemingly unable to bear Liu Lang's gaze, Xiao Chuo closed her eyes and said shyly, "What are you looking at? It's making me flustered... It's already dawn! Your men have been back for ages, but they just haven't dared to knock."

Liu Lang snapped out of his reverie, chuckled softly, and gently lifted Xiao Chuo, letting her sit on his lap.

Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "What else do you want to do?"

Liu Lang said, "I truly wish dawn would never break. Is now the time for us to say goodbye?"

Xiao Chuo said sadly, "Liu Lang, I will use my efforts to help the Liao and Song dynasties end this war."

At their parting, Xiao Chuo handed Liu Lang a letter.

After Xiao Chuo walked away, Liu Lang watched her retreating figure and unfolded the letter.

The moment we met again, fate decreed that Song and Liao would be on opposite sides.

Fate always drifts with the wind, and even when fate ends, we will wait with tearful eyes.

In the instant we gazed at each other, tears welled in our hearts, and love and hate swirled within.

Chapter Three: The Marriage to Shanxi.

After returning to Waqiao Pass, Liu Lang met with Zhao Guangyi and briefly explained that the matter of the Floating Island's surrender had been resolved. They then discussed how to deal with Cheng Shijie.

Zhao Guangyi told Liu Lang that to appease Cheng Shijie, he had adopted Pan Feng as his daughter and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Zhaoyang, intending for her to marry Cheng Shijie's second son. Therefore, he entrusted Liu Lang with the important task of escorting Pan Feng to Shanxi for the marriage. Upon

hearing this, Liu Lang decided to take this opportunity to go to Shanxi and investigate Cheng Shijie's background.

Finally, Zhao Guangyi appointed Liu Lang as Imperial Envoy and entrusted him with protecting Princess Zhaoyang, Pan Feng, to Shanxi to marry Cheng Shijie's second son.

Upon learning this news, the Yang family members all knew that this trip to Shanxi was fraught with danger, and they all vied to accompany Liu Lang. However, Liu Lang refused, insisting that he could go alone.

That noon, Pan Renmei came to the Yang family and had a private conversation with Yang Linggong.

After Pan Renmei left, Yang Linggong summoned Liu Lang and told him what Pan Renmei had told him. It turned out that many officials in Shanxi were already dissatisfied with Cheng Shijie, including former officials of the Northern Han and those loyal to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Lang could exploit the discord among these officials once he arrived in Shanxi. Furthermore, Pan Renmei had a distant relative, the current prefect of Jietang Pass named Kou Zhun, who could be consulted for help if necessary. Yang Linggong asked Liu Lang, "Who will accompany you to Shanxi?" Liu Lang

replied, "My sister-in-law will accompany me, and Zi Ruo'er has also expressed her desire to go to Shanxi."

Upon hearing this, Yang Linggong thought that Zi Ruo'er, as a princess of the Northern Han, had connections in Shanxi, and accompanying Liu Lang would certainly be of great help. However, Cheng Shijie knew Zi Ruo'er, which might cause unnecessary trouble.

After learning of Yang Linggong's concerns, Murong Feixue said to him, "I've already discussed it with Ziruo'er. We'll disguise ourselves as men and become Liu Lang's close bodyguards, so we can act according to circumstances."

Yang Linggong was relieved.

Two days later, Bai Yunfei and her sister came to Waqiao Pass and visited Yang Linggong and Si Niang at the Yang residence.

Yang Linggong and Si Niang were overjoyed to see that the Bai Yunfei sisters were both heroines.

The purpose of their visit was to escort Liu Lang to Shanxi. They then told Liu Lang that they were already making preparations for their journey.

That evening, Liu Lang took the Bai Yunfei sisters to the imperial envoy's private tent, with Murong Feixue and Ziruo'er accompanying them. They then discussed their plans for going to Shanxi.

At this moment, Bai Yunfei took out a map, spread it on the table, and said, "After Aunt learned that you were going to Shanxi, she asked my sister and me to accompany you. This map is a map of the military distribution in Shanxi, drawn by Aunt herself. We are going to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and we will pass through five passes along the way. Look! That's the first pass—Flying Tiger City! The commander of Flying Tiger City is Cheng Shijie's confidant, named Sha Baofei. He is extremely loyal to Cheng Shijie, and we have to pass through Flying Tiger City to get there and back, so the only way to deal with him is to act decisively."

Liu Lang said "I know this person," said Murong Feixue. "I met him at Hungry Tiger Ridge."

Murong Feixue continued, "Sha Baofei isn't a foolish man with no strategy. He has soldiers and generals under his command. He won't stop us from going to Shanxi. The important thing is that when we return, this guy will definitely show his true colors. We need to be prepared to deal with him."

Bai Yunfei then pointed to a pass below and said, "This is Woniu Pass. The garrison commander, Qin Dongyang, is Cheng Shijie's brother-in-law. He is ruthless by nature and keeps a large number of skilled outlaws in his household."

Liu Lang nodded upon hearing this.

Bai Yunfei continued, "The general guarding the third pass is named Shen Yuanbao. He's someone we can recruit."

Liu Lang interrupted, "Doesn't he have a subordinate named Kou Zhun?"

Bai Xuefei replied, "Yes, Liu Lang, how do you know?"

Liu Lang said, "This Kou Zhun is a relative of Lord Pan Renmei. Lord Pan told me that we could seek his help if necessary. I guess Lord Pan must have corresponded with him, since his daughter Pan Feng is going to marry him. Lord Pan still hopes we can return safely. I've decided that we should take Jietang Pass first. Once we reach Taiyuan, if we fall out with Cheng Shijie, we'll have a place to stay." Upon hearing this,

the four women, including Murong Feixue, all agreed with Liu Lang's idea.

Bai Yunfei said, "Next is the fourth pass—Santai Pass. The general guarding it is Chen Yanshou. I don't know much about him, but he has two lieutenants named Meng Liang and Jiao Zan. They are both related to my father because their master was a close friend of my father, and they once visited the Floating Island. My sister and I met them once. My aunt said that Meng Liang and Jiao Zan are loyal and righteous, and both can be subdued."

Liu Lang said, "That's great. If we can't persuade Chen Yanshou, then we'll depose him and let Meng Liang and Jiao Zan guard Santai Pass. That way, we'll have another safe place."

Bai Yunfei said, "The last pass—Ba County—is guarded by Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan. They are both Cheng Shijie's favorite generals, and it's unlikely that we can subdue them."

Zi Ruo'er said, "The former governor of Ba County was named Ren Zhiheng. Ren Zhiheng has a son..." The group is called Ren Tang Hui, and they are sworn brothers with Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan. Although Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan are Cheng Shijie's confidants, Ren Tang Hui harbors deep hatred for Cheng Shijie because he murdered Ren Zhiheng. However, Cheng Shijie is unaware of the sworn brotherhood between Yue Sheng, Zhou Quan, and Ren Tang Hui. Before the gathering at Honghua Pavilion, I met with Ren Tang Hui. He expressed his willingness to follow me in killing Cheng Shijie and planned to persuade Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan to join the gathering. But on the eve of the gathering, he sent word that things had changed; he had failed to persuade Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan and asked me to cancel the gathering. I think I can trust Ren Tang Hui.”

Liu Lang laughed, “That’s great! I didn’t expect there to be such connections I could use! I’m determined to take advantage of this trip to Shanxi to turn Cheng Shijie’s territory upside down. If I get the chance, I’ll kill him!”

Next, Liu Lang and the others carefully planned and meticulously arranged each step until midnight, when Liu Lang began to feel sleepy.

Seeing this, Murong Feixue suggested, "Let's all rest. We can continue our discussion tomorrow."

With that, Murong Feixue took her leave with Zi Ruo'er and went to rest in another tent.

At this moment, Zi Ruo'er seemed a little jealous, glancing back at Liu Lang as she left. Liu Lang made a face at her, making Zi Ruo'er stomp her foot in anger before turning and leaving.

Liu Lang knew that Zi Ruo'er valued killing Cheng Shijie more than her own life; it was something she had to accomplish in this life, and he was the only one who could help her achieve it. Therefore, Liu Lang wasn't worried at all that Zi Ruo'er would be jealous of the Bai Xuefei sisters.

The next day, Liu Lang met with the Emperor, and a eunuch announced the imperial edict, officially bestowing upon Pan Feng the title of Princess Zhaoyang and appointing Liu Lang as the envoy to Shanxi to bestow a marriage upon her.

He was to escort Princess Zhaoyang to Shanxi to marry Cheng Qianhu, the second son of the Marquis of Taiyuan, and appoint Cheng Qianhu as the governor of Taiyuan. Upon receiving the edict, Liu Lang thought: "That brat Cheng Qianhu got off so well, marrying a beautiful princess and receiving a high-ranking official position.

I must find a way to make him lose both his wife and his army."

Liu Lang requested permission to depart the next day.

Zhao Guangyi granted Liu Lang's request and summoned Pan Feng to an audience.

Soon after, Pan Renmei arrived with Pan Feng and Pan Bao

to meet the Emperor. Liu Lang noticed that Pan Feng's cheeks were still wet with tears, suggesting she had argued with Pan Renmei. Pan Bao followed behind, seemingly resentful of Zhao Guangyi's arrangements, and appeared eager to argue with him, but was stopped several times by Pan Renmei.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi issued an imperial decree that Pan Feng would set off the next day, and Pan Bao would accompany the army as a guard general.

After leaving the general's mansion, Pan Renmei took Liu Lang to his residence and gave him some instructions, hoping that Liu Lang would take good care of Pan Feng on the road, while Pan Feng cried and sobbed beside him.

After Pan Renmei left, Liu Lang said, "Pan Feng, look at you. Now that you're a princess, you still have no sense of propriety. Aren't you going to be a laughingstock?"

Pan Feng cried even harder upon hearing this, suddenly throwing herself into Liu Lang's arms, sobbing, "Liu Lang, I...I...I don't want to marry into Shanxi."

Liu Lang comforted her, "Pan Feng, why are you doing this? Although Cheng Shijie is only the Marquis of Taiyuan, he controls a region and has considerable power. Marrying into his family would be a perfect match. What's there to cry about?"

Pan Feng replied, "Who doesn't know that Cheng Shijie is a wolf in sheep's clothing? He'll rebel sooner or later. What will I do if he rebels? It's all my fault. If I had known this would happen, I would have agreed to marry you, Father."

Liu Lang, in his bright red robes, asked, "Then... " "So, your father proposed to me, and you didn't agree?"

Pan Feng blushed and said, "Even if someone is willing, you shouldn't bring it up yourself. You should take the initiative!" Liu Lang laughed and said,

"Oh, I see. But if you really want to be with me, I have a way to help you."

Pan Feng wiped away her tears and said, "Really?"

Liu Lang said, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Pan Feng said happily, "Tell me quickly."

Liu Lang said, "If you want my help, let me see your sincerity first."

Pan Feng blushed and asked, "What do you want?"

Liu Lang patted Pan Bao's cheek and said, "Your sister and I have something to say. Close your eyes first."

Upon hearing this, Pan Bao immediately closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Lang put his arm around Pan Feng's slender waist and kissed her beautiful face, making Pan Feng blush.

Liu Lang said, "I've long disliked Cheng Shijie. The Emperor has given me a secret decree, allowing me to execute him first and report later if necessary. So, once we get to Shanxi, if we can find out Cheng Shijie has treacherous intentions, I can execute him on the spot, and you won't have to marry his son."

Pan Feng exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful!"

Pan Bao said, "Sister...brother-in-law, as long as you give the order...I'll tear that bastard Cheng...Cheng Shijie to pieces."

Liu Lang glanced at Pan Bao, noticing that although Pan Bao spoke, his eyes were still closed. Especially since Pan Bao called him brother-in-law, he was even more pleased and took the opportunity to embrace Pan Feng and flirt with her.

Pan Feng blushed, dealing with Liu Lang while worrying that someone might come in. She was also afraid that Pan Bao would open his eyes and see her and Liu Lang's behavior. After all, she was now the Emperor's personally appointed Princess Zhaoyang, and she was going to Shanxi to marry Cheng Shijie's son.

Liu Lang didn't dare go too far. After all, this was the Pan residence, and if anyone saw him embracing Pan Feng, he would lose his head. Besides, Liu Lang thought that the journey to Shanxi was long, and he could do whatever he wanted to Pan Feng anyway.

So Liu Lang released Pan Feng, made some promises to her, and then left the Pan residence.

At this time, Liu Lang arrived at the camp of the imperial envoy. The Ministry of Rites officials who accompanied him to Shanxi were the same two who had gone with him to the Floating Island to offer amnesty. However, they now looked dejected and listless, as if they were about to be beheaded.

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "My lords, what's wrong? Are you worried about not getting any benefits from following me on this mission

to Shanxi?" Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun, with mournful faces, said, "Lord Yang, we know very well what kind of person the Marquis of Taiyuan is. This trip to Shanxi for the marriage alliance can be described as espionage, or it could be that the Emperor wants to investigate him. But that kid holds a large army. If we go, the chances of us surviving are slim, and it's hard to say whether we'll even return, let alone get any benefits."

Liu Lang said, "My lords, you are mistaken. Although Cheng Shijie is formidable..." "But I already have a way to deal with him. If I weren't confident, why would I risk my life to take this assignment? Besides, although there are dangers, as long as we work together, what's there to fear about not being able to accomplish this? After we succeed, won't we be promoted and envied by everyone?"

Li Tongshun said, "Since Lord Yang says so, we are relieved. Do you have any other instructions? We will certainly do as you say."

Liu Lang said, "Just make sure the supplies for the procession are prepared properly. Also, do not undermine the morale of the troops, or you will be severely punished."

Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun nodded in agreement.

At this time, Liu Lang checked the accompanying entourage one by one. Because palace maids and eunuchs were accompanying them this time, it was a matter of royal dignity, so he could not be careless.

After everything was checked, Liu Lang went home for dinner.

Before leaving, Lord Yang held Liu Lang's hand and gave him many instructions. Si Niang also hugged Liu Lang and wept bitterly.

The next day, the large group of people left Waqiao Pass. Along the way, the people of Waqiao Pass saw them off.

Liu Lang suddenly turned around and spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

At that moment, Yang Sijie, tears streaming down her face, approached Liu Lang and said, "Liu Lang, please take care on your journey!"

Liu Lang dismounted, grasped Yang Sijie's hand, and said, "Sijie, do you know why I didn't take you with me?"

Yang Sijie nodded and said, "Liu Lang, I know. The journey to Shanxi is too dangerous; you didn't want your sister to risk her life with you." Liu Lang nodded and said, "Sijie, Waqiao Pass cannot be lost. With you here, I can rest assured! If the Liao Dynasty takes the opportunity to attack the city, do not be greedy for battle. Keep the city gates tightly closed and then use arrows to shoot them fiercely."

"Liu Lang, I understand. The city stands, we stand; the city falls, we fall! Don't worry about here; your sister will definitely defend Waqiao Pass."

Liu Lang smiled upon hearing this and tearfully bid farewell to Yang Sijie.

Murong Feixue, Zi Ruoer, Bai Yunfei, and Bai Xuefei disguised themselves as attendants and mingled with the large group of people, while Liu Lang rode the imperial yellow horse bestowed upon him. Behind them were four carriages belonging to Princess Zhaoyang, two of which carried her dowry.

Liu Lang led the group out of the south gate and headed straight for Feihu City along the Yi River.

Sha Baofei, the

garrison commander of Feihu City, had already received news from the Ministry of War. Although he was a confidant of Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie had not openly opposed the Song Dynasty after surrendering, and his entourage still had to greet the imperial envoy according to protocol. When Liu Lang led his large entourage to Feihu City, Liu Lang, along with four close attendants, Pan Feng, and Pan Bao, followed Sha Baofei to the mansion.

Liu Lang and his party followed Sha Baofei to the main hall. Since Pan Feng was a princess, she sat in the seat of honor. After everyone performed the grand ceremony, they took their seats according to their status as host and guests. Sha Baofei then ordered a banquet to be prepared to properly entertain Liu Lang.

After exchanging pleasantries with Sha Baofei, Liu Lang instructed his entourage to stay there for the night.

Upon hearing this, Sha Baofei arranged the best inn for Liu Lang and his entourage.

During the banquet, Liu Lang secretly told Murong Feixue, "Sister-in-law, you should now act as an ordinary citizen and find an inn near Sha Baofei's residence, the closer the better. Also, don't reveal your identity."

Murong Feixue didn't know what Liu Lang was up to, but this was an imperial envoy, and Liu Lang was an imperial commissioner, so she could only obey. She secretly carried out the plan.

After the banquet, Liu Lang grasped Sha Baofei's hand and said, "General Sha, we really hit it off immediately. I have a few words I'd like to say to you."

Sha Baofei quickly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Imperial Commissioner. Please speak."

Liu Lang looked around and said, "In this kind of setting, with so many people talking, let's speak privately."

Sha Baofei nodded and led Liu Lang to an inner room.

After Liu Lang took his seat, he said in a low voice, "I've long heard of General Sha's bravery and skill in battle. My father has praised you to me more than once, but little do you know, General, you are about to face a great calamity!"

Sha Baofei asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Liu Lang said, "A few days ago, a shipment of munitions destined for the Liao people in Feihu City was discovered by imperial spies. The Emperor was furious when he found out. My trip to Shanxi this time was to urge and assist Lord Cheng in investigating you. Because you are a rare talent, General, I gave you a heads-up beforehand. I believe this was definitely not your doing, but rather something your subordinates did behind your back, so you should be prepared."

Sha Baofei chuckled inwardly: Little do you know that this was a scheme between Lord Cheng and me. If it weren't for his instructions, would I dare to do such a thing? Although Sha Baofei thought this in his heart, he still showed his gratitude and said to Liu Lang, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. I really have no way to repay you!"

Liu Lang laughed and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. It's just that I have many people with me on my way to Shanxi..."

Before Liu Lang could finish speaking, Sha Baofei understood what Liu Lang meant and quickly said, "I understand your intentions, Your Excellency."

As he spoke, Sha Baofei took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Liu Lang.

Liu Lang said, "It's inconvenient today. I will come to visit General Sha again early tomorrow morning. Please don't be stingy then. You know, my trip to Taiyuan will require a lot of expenses."

Sha Baofei cursed inwardly: So this kid has such a big appetite, and he still thinks it's not enough. But that's fine. I'm not afraid of you being greedy. If I can really catch Yang Liu Lang and control the Yang family generals in the future, it will be worth spending more money.

While Sha Baofei was deep in thought, Liu Lang secretly installed the newly modified "eavesdropping device" under the chair in Sha Baofei's inner room, then stood up to take his leave.

Sha Baofei happily saw Liu Lang off, repeatedly urging him to come again the next morning.

When Liu Lang arrived at the main hall, Murong Feixue had already returned, clearly having completed the task he had been given. She then ordered the guards to escort Princess Zhaoyang back to the post station.

After Liu Lang and the others arrived at the post station and settled Pan Feng, he called over Murong Feixue and the other three women, saying, "We are here on imperial orders to go to Shanxi, and I'd like to hear what Cheng Shijie thinks about this matter." Bai Yunfei asked,

"Where can we hear that?"

Liu Lang smiled slightly and said, "I already have a plan! Tonight, my sister-in-law and I will go to Sha Baofei's place and hear what he has to say. You know, this guy is Cheng Shijie's confidant; he must know Cheng Shijie's thoughts."

Murong Feixue, unaware of Liu Lang's scheme, said, "Our current..." " You're an imperial envoy, do you really intend to sneak into Sha Baofei's residence with me at night?"

Liu Lang said, "Don't speculate. I'll figure something out when the time comes. That's settled then! Sister-in-law, you three stay here to rest. Also, be careful and keep watch to protect the princess's safety."

Zi Ruo'er said, "I want to go too."

Liu Lang's face hardened, and he said, "Too many people will make you too conspicuous. You'd better stay here and not ruin my plan."

Seeing that Liu Lang was determined to refuse, Zi Ruo'er didn't say anything more and went back to her room to rest, feeling unhappy. Bai Yunfei

and Bai Xuefei told Liu Lang to be careful.

Liu Lang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law and I will be careful."

Hearing this, the Bai Yunfei sisters went back to their room to rest with peace of mind.

Liu Lang asked Murong Feixue to lead the way, and the two arrived at the inn where Murong Feixue had already booked a room. The inn was right behind Sha Baofei's residence, just across the street, and the environment was very quiet.

Seeing the two officials-looking guests enter and having already booked rooms, the innkeeper brought tea and washing water, then obediently took his leave.

Murong Feixue asked, puzzled, "Sixth Brother, didn't you say you wanted to find out Sha Baofei's secret? Are you just going to stay here the whole time?"

Sixth Brother calmly pulled a listening device from his pocket and said, "I have my own magic weapon to deal with Sha Baofei. This thing is called the Pangu Opening Heaven Hearing Aid Box. As long as you're no more than a mile away from Sha Baofei, you can clearly hear what he says."

Murong Feixue looked at the object in Sixth Brother's hand with suspicion, seeing its dark appearance, truly wondering what its extraordinary properties were.

Liu Lang sighed, "Because there are no satellites here, the function is limited to within a mile. Otherwise, we could have heard it from the inn."

Murong Feixue took the listening device and, following Liu Lang's instructions, put the earpiece on. After a moment of silence, a man's voice came through. Murong Feixue was startled and instinctively drew her sword.

Liu Lang quickly grabbed Murong Feixue's hand and said, "Don't panic, sister-in-law. He can't see us."

Murong Feixue breathed a sigh of relief and continued listening, saying, "It really is Sha Baofei! Liu Lang, you're amazing! This thing is incredible!"

Liu Lang pressed close to Murong Feixue's voluptuous body and said, "Sha Baofei never dreamed we'd be listening to him here! Sister-in-law, what is he saying?"

Murong Feixue listened, then suddenly blushed, ripped off the earpiece, threw it into Liu Lang's hands, and angrily said, "What is that? It's all nonsense..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang immediately put the earpiece back on. Through the earphones, she heard a woman's lewd moans: "Ah... dear brother! You're so amazing... this lowly concubine is simply... I don't want to live anymore."

Then came Sha Baofei's voice: "Little darling, sweetheart... ever since you entered the manor, you've been stealing my soul."

Liu Lang chuckled and said to Murong Feixue, "I thought it was something else, isn't this Sha Baofei and his new concubine having sex?"

Murong Feixue said shyly, "You can't make me listen to this with you! I'm going back, you can listen to them yourself."

As she spoke, Murong Feixue was about to leave, but Liu Lang grabbed her wrist.

Liu Lang said, “Sister-in-law, we are now imperial envoys, acting on behalf of the Emperor. We must be careful in everything we do. As the saying goes, ‘Husbands and wives should not talk outside their marriage!’ Sha Baofei has just taken a concubine

. After that, things might escalate to the real issue. How can you leave? I need to discuss this with you before making a decision!” Hearing this, Murong Feixue had no choice but to stay patiently, her face flushed as she sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing her internal energy.

Liu Lang listened to Sha Baofei’s erotic tales while watching Murong Feixue practice.

Murong Feixue said with her eyes closed, “Why are you always staring at me?”

Liu Lang didn’t speak, but thought to himself: Of all the women I’ve been involved with, only my sister-in-law is understanding. Alas, why can’t I have a virtuous woman like her? Although I had that unavoidable contact with my sister-in-law at the Seven Star Tower and the Flying Immortal Temple, ever since then, she has been wary of me like a thief.

Seeing that Liu Lang didn't speak, Murong Feixue opened her eyes, her face flushed, and asked, "Are they finished?"

Liu Lang smiled and said, "Not yet."

Liu Lang then said, "Sister-in-law, listen, Sha Baofei and the others are talking about us."

Murong Feixue quickly moved closer to Liu Lang, and heard Sha Baofei's concubine say, "General, did they really ask you for money?"

Sha Baofei said, "Of course! It was the Imperial Envoy who asked for it himself."

Sha Baofei's concubine said, "How could you agree to them? And you even prepared so much money for them! Waaah! My father doesn't earn that much money in a year, and you just gave it away all at once. It breaks my heart!" "I've got it."

Sha Baofei reassured her, "Men shouldn't be bothered by trifles when it comes to big things. This money can be used to bribe or find fault with the Yang family generals. If we use it against the Liao emperor later, we'll surely recoup our losses."

Sha Baofei's concubine exclaimed happily, "General, so you're using that imperial envoy?"

Sha Baofei replied, "The Liao emperor trusts me completely, even more than he trusts Cheng Shijie. Moreover, the Liao emperor wants me to monitor Cheng Shijie, so I can bribe this Yang fellow to spy on Cheng Shijie's movements."

Sha Baofei's concubine exclaimed joyfully, "General, you're truly farsighted!"

Then Sha Baofei and his concubine began to whisper sweet nothings to each other.

Hearing this, Murong Feixue quickly moved away.

Liu Lang laughed, "Sister-in-law, why aren't you listening? Are you still practicing so late?"

Murong Feixue replied, "A few days ago, at Feixian Temple, I absorbed Zhang Wenliang's Kui Luo. I didn't expect his cultivation to be so profound. So many days have passed, and I still haven't fully digested his Kui Luo. Besides, these days are crucial for my primordial spirit's upgrade. I want to advance to the eighth level before reaching Taiyuan, but greed knows no bounds. Because I was too hasty, there was a slight error, so I must quickly recover my internal energy. A few days ago, Zi Ruo'er helped me practice. It seems my primordial spirit is about to upgrade; I wonder if it will be successful?"

Liu Lang "Sister-in-law," he said happily, "congratulations! After cultivating to the eighth level of the primordial spirit, can you use the Heavenly Lightning Net to kill enemies? I've heard that once this move is used, it can inflict massive damage on powerful enemies, making it most useful when outnumbered on the battlefield."

Murong Feixue nodded and said, "That's right. The next level to cultivate is the Heaven-Destroying Divine Thunder, specifically used to kill opponents of equal strength. Cultivating the divine is endless, and it's a dream that every cultivator can never fulfill in their lifetime. My master, the Holy Mother of Lishan, cultivated the divine spirit for a lifetime and only obtained nine primordial spirits, but that was enough to deal with Cheng Shijie. How I long for that day..."

As she spoke, Murong Feixue sighed.

Liu Lang thought to himself: So, besides wanting a child, my sister-in-law has this dream too.

Liu Lang said, "Sister-in-law, I'm cultivating my spirit just like you, but I've only just begun. I've only just mastered the Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning Technique. If you don't mind, I can help you cultivate your primordial spirit quickly."

Murong Feixue asked in surprise, "Liu Lang, when did you start cultivating your spirit?"

Liu Lang then told Murong Feixue about his dual cultivation with the Bai Xuefei sisters at Hungry Tiger Ridge.

Murong Feixue blushed upon hearing this and said, "Liu Lang, you're shameless! You actually took both of them at the same time!"

Liu Lang spread his hands and said, "The situation was urgent at the time. If I hadn't succeeded in cultivating in time, I'm afraid the three of us would have been trapped and died inside. Besides, I have the original essence left behind by the Bright God, which not only makes my cultivation incredibly fast, but even those who cultivate with me benefit greatly. Don't you know that, sister-in-law?"

Murong Feixue naturally knew. After all, she had sensed the special energy source within Liu Lang's body at the Seven Star Tower and Flying Immortal Temple. Otherwise, she would probably have had to cultivate diligently for another ten years before she had a chance to advance her primordial spirit. But to bring up such a sensitive topic, she was immediately filled with shame.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Lang grasped Murong Feixue's hands and said, "This trip to Shanxi is, frankly, a life-or-death undertaking. If you, sister-in-law, can improve your skills, we'll have a better chance of victory. Sister-in-law! Among those traveling with us, you are the strongest. If anything goes wrong, our lives will depend entirely on you. For our sake, please agree."

Murong Feixue asked in a low voice, "Agree to what?"

Liu Lang shamelessly replied, "I want to cultivate our primordial spirits together!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Feixue was so surprised she almost cried out.

Liu Lang embraced Murong Feixue and said, "Ever since I got together with you, I've been hopelessly infatuated. Although you did it to save me... you might as well not have saved me at all. I've always felt guilty and infatuated with you, but mostly it's desire. At Feixian Temple, you didn't reject me, and I knew you liked me too."

Murong Feixue panicked and said, "Liu Lang, it's not like that! The first time, I had no choice; I couldn't bear to see you die. And at Feixian Temple, it was because you saved me that I was so grateful..."

As she spoke, Murong Feixue's eyes filled with tears, as if she were begging Liu Lang not to force her any further.

Liu Lang said solemnly, "Sister-in-law, this time it's entirely for our safety. I so desperately want you to quickly cultivate your eighth primordial spirit so we won't have to fear Cheng Shijie."

As he spoke, Liu Lang was about to kiss Murong Feixue's neck.

Murong Feixue panicked instantly, her flustered gaze meeting Liu Lang's. In that instant their eyes locked, a chill ran through her; she vaguely knew she could no longer escape Liu Lang's clutches.

At that moment, Liu Lang's eyes were as vast and gentle as the sea, as deep and captivating as the sky. He gazed at Murong Feixue, simultaneously captivated by her breathtaking beauty and elegant, virtuous demeanor. Her mature feminine allure compelled him to lower his head and kiss Murong Feixue's lips.

Murong Feixue's heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, and she blushed with shyness, her already beautiful face even more radiant.

Forced to lift her head, Murong Feixue shared a passionate, lingering kiss with Liu Lang.

After a passionate kiss with Murong Feixue, Liu Lang slowly removed her clothes. When he saw her white breasts, he whispered, "Sister-in-law!"

Murong Feixue hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "You... you make my heart very uneasy."

Liu Lang asked, "Why?"

Murong Feixue said in a trembling voice, "I'm still afraid. Afraid that if I submit to you, I will be ridiculed by the world."

Liu Lang said, “Sister-in-law, although the Yang family has strict rules, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring. If you don’t bear a child for the Yang family, it will attract gossip. So only by doing this can you leave a lineage for the Yang family. So-called morality and etiquette are just things people do to protect themselves. The strong benefit from them, and the weak suffer. But will the world fall into chaos if they are gone? Many things didn’t always exist, such as the way of ruler and subject, or the etiquette between husband and wife. We just need to live our own lives. Happiness doesn’t need other people’s opinions. Besides admiration, I also have a kind of love for you, which has been hidden in my heart for many years. Please accept my love for you!”

Murong Feixue didn’t know why, but after hearing Liu Lang’s words, she burst into tears. She wasn’t someone who cried easily, but at that moment, she couldn’t control herself.

Liu Lang looked at Murong Feixue’s tears and didn’t know why she was crying, but at this moment, he couldn’t stop. He thought: Since I’ve already destroyed her chastity, the best way now is to cherish her more.

Thinking of this, Liu Lang continued to remove Murong Feixue's clothes.

Underneath her guard's uniform was a white gauze robe and thin silk trousers; her delicate body exuded fragrance. Her blushing face was exquisitely beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes that sparkled like cold stars. Her skin was so smooth and delicate it seemed as if a gentle touch would release moisture. Most captivating was her spirited and heroic bearing.

Liu Lang gently removed the white gauze robe, then embraced her tightly, gazing intently into her eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law, I will always love you!"

Murong Feixue looked up at Liu Lang, tears streaming down her face, and began to shake her head.

Liu Lang passionately leaned in and kissed the tears on Murong Feixue's cheek, saying, "Sister-in-law, it's my fault. I will always be good to you!"

Murong Feixue's crystal tears continued to flow. Suddenly, she reached out her jade-like arm and hooked it around Liu Lang's neck, rubbing her smooth face against his, murmuring, "Liu Lang, you killed your sister-in-law. I hate you!"

Liu Lang trembled violently, looking into Murong Feixue's deep, affectionate eyes. A tidal wave surged in his heart. He secretly marveled at how lucky he was to have Murong Feixue's love and hate intertwined. He couldn't help but raise his dragon spear and enter Murong Feixue's warm body...

After a long series of thrusting movements, Liu Lang slowly stopped.

Murong Feixue wiped the sweat from Liu Lang's forehead and whispered, "Liu Lang, I want to die!"

Liu Lang gasped for breath and said, "If you want to die, sister-in-law, I'm willing to go to the Yellow Springs with you. But we can't let that bastard Cheng Shijie get away with this. I promised Zi Ruo'er that I would help her kill Cheng Shijie. If I die, Zi Ruo'er certainly won't live alone..."

Murong Feixue asked in surprise, "Could it be that you and Zi Ruo'er have already...? When did you take my junior sister as your concubine?"

Liu Lang chuckled and said, "Actually, it wasn't intentional. It was during the Red Flower Pavilion incident. Zi Ruo'er was drugged by Cheng Shijie, and later, during the fierce battle with the pursuers, she was stabbed and her life was in danger. I know I have a special energy within me, so I had no choice but to do that kind of thing with Zi Ruo'er. But don't worry, sister-in-law, I will tell Father about this sooner or later. As for Zi Ruo'er..." "My daughter also agreed to serve me alongside the Bai sisters, so that we may have many children and grandchildren in the future."

Murong Feixue said, "Can you guarantee that Ziruo'er and the Bai sisters will be able to bear children for the Yang family?"

Liu Lang said with a wicked smile, "I can not only guarantee the three of them, but also you, sister-in-law!"

Liu Lang's words made Murong Feixue's face turn red, and she raised her fist to hit Liu Lang, but Liu Lang stopped her, saying, "Sister-in-law, please forgive my rudeness, but I am telling the truth. Although this matter is a bit unfair to my brother, who told him not to have children? I promise that once you give birth to the child, I will always respect you, and if you do not agree, I will never bother you again."

Chapter Four: The Path of Dual Cultivation of the Primordial Spirit

Murong Feixue remained silent upon hearing this, but her heart was filled with countless thoughts: Back then, I made a mistake, one wrong step led to another, and it is now irreversible. I cannot blame Liu Lang for taking liberties with me, but rather it is fate playing tricks on us, and destiny is predetermined.

Liu Lang put his arm around Murong Feixue's slender waist and lifted her up, saying, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to advance to the eighth level of the primordial spirit? When we were making love just now, did you feel the internal energy I transferred to you?"

Murong Feixue nodded shyly.

Liu Lang said, "That's good. Now I'll teach you the incantation for dual cultivation..."

Murong Feixue whispered, "I know the incantation. Most people in the Cultivation Realm know it, but that shameful position, is it really necessary to do it like that?"

Liu Lang said seriously, "Of course, otherwise how could it be called dual cultivation? You and I are indispensable."

Murong Feixue said, "There are many female disciples in our Cultivation Realm, and dual cultivation between men and women is a shameful thing, so most disciples adopt the method of dual cultivation with two women."

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Is that so? How do two women do it?"

Murong Feixue said, "Don't think so lewdly. When female disciples cultivate together, they simply take off their clothes, stand back to back, and after all the meridians and acupoints in their bodies are completely aligned, they can cultivate together. Although the effect is not as obvious as dual cultivation between men and women, it is still much faster than practicing alone."

Liu Lang thought: My sister-in-law must have tried it with Zi Ruo'er. But even if two women take off their clothes together, it's not a big deal. But if it were me, how could I control myself? Thinking of this, Liu Lang said, "Sister-in-law, Zi Ruo'er is too slow in helping you practice. I'm afraid you won't even have reached the eighth level of your primordial spirit by the time we get to Shanxi. Let me accompany you instead."

Murong Feixue said shyly, "How can such a thing happen so easily? If they find out, I'll have no choice but to commit suicide."

Liu Lang said seriously, "If they dare to laugh at you, I'll divorce them all. In my heart, even if all three of them are combined, they can't compare to the weight you hold in my heart, sister-in-law."

At this moment, moonlight shone through the gauze window, illuminating Murong Feixue's smooth jade back, creating an alluring halo!

Liu Lang gazed at Murong Feixue's captivating body, and couldn't help but begin to move.

Murong Feixue felt Liu Lang's burning gaze, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a faint blush rose all over her body, like a layer of rouge, making her extremely alluring!

At this moment, Murong Feixue dared not act rashly, and hurriedly recited the incantation, guiding her primordial spirit to cultivate rapidly.

Although Liu Lang's body was in a state of extreme excitement, his mind was surprisingly clear. He channeled the energy of his own spirit into Murong Feixue's body, and when their primordial spirits merged, there was a wondrous feeling that was indescribable and even surpassed the pleasure brought by their physical union. This was the "spiritual communion." An hour passed, and under the condition of primordial spirit unity with Murong Feixue, Liu Lang not only promoted the advancement of Murong Feixue's primordial spirit but also cultivated his own primordial spirit. In addition, he could also feel a strong sense of pleasure. This was truly a triple benefit.

At this moment, Liu Lang helped Murong Feixue lie down. Seeing her flushed face, slightly furrowed brows, parted lips, and closed eyes, she looked both pained and pleasured, and asked, "Sister-in-law, how much longer until you advance?"

Murong Feixue replied shyly, "Almost there. I estimate I can cultivate 'Heavenly Lightning Net' in another day or two."

Liu Lang said happily, "Want me to try again?"

Murong Feixue said, "I'm afraid you'll tire yourself out. Your three wives probably won't agree..."

Liu Lang said, "I don't care about them, I only want you."

As he spoke, Liu Lang started to grope Murong Feixue again.

At this moment, Murong Feixue suddenly felt a joy she had never experienced before. She hadn't realized how important she was to Liu Lang, making it impossible for her to refuse his request. Stimulated by the intoxicating, ecstatic pleasure, Murong Feixue's mind went blank. Her boneless body trembled slightly beneath Liu Lang.

At dawn, Liu Lang and Murong Feixue awoke together.

Murong Feixue hurriedly dressed, while Liu Lang admired her naked body in the morning light. After she was dressed, Liu Lang pulled her into his arms and said, "Sister-in-law, my love for you is as clear as day and night. Don't let me down. Finish your divine skill as soon as possible!"

Murong Feixue said sweetly, "I know, Liu Lang. Shouldn't we go back to the inn?"

Liu Lang said, "You go back first. I'll go find Sha Baofei to get the money and retrieve my treasure; I'll need it later."

With that, Liu Lang kissed Murong Feixue again before bidding her farewell.

After dressing, Liu Lang arrived at the front gate of Sha Baofei's residence and had the gatekeeper announce his arrival.

Soon, Sha Baofei himself came out to greet him and asked, "Lord Yang, have you had breakfast?"

Liu Lang replied, "Not yet."

Upon hearing this, Sha Baofei asked, "Would you like to have breakfast first?"

Liu Lang said, "No need! I still need to go back to pay my respects to the princess."

Hearing this, Sha Baofei led Liu Lang into the inner room and had his concubine bring over two pre-prepared boxes. While they weren't looking, Liu Lang secretly concealed a listening device.

Liu Lang opened the two boxes brought by Sha Baofei's concubine and found one containing a large stack of silver notes, estimated at around five thousand taels; the other box contained dazzling jewelry.

After thanking Sha Baofei, Liu Lang examined Sha Baofei's new concubine. She wore a white gauze dress, her expression alluring, a blush on her fair cheeks, and her large, watery eyes filled with tenderness.

Sixth, Liu Lang thought to himself: Sha Baofei is quite lucky with women! I wonder where he found such a beautiful woman. Last night, her increasingly loud moans made my heart itch. I must have her sometime.

Seeing Liu Lang staring at his concubine, Sha Baofei coughed a few times.

Liu Lang then came to his senses and said to Sha Baofei, "General Sha, thank you! It's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer, farewell!"

After returning to the inn, Liu Lang first went to pay his respects to Pan Feng. But ostensibly to pay his respects, he actually wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one was around to be intimate with Pan Feng for a while.

Liu Lang found that only Pan Bao and a few palace maids were with Pan Feng in the bedroom, and Pan Bao was having breakfast with her.

Pan Feng wasn't in good spirits, looking languid. When she saw Liu Lang enter, she showed a little joy and asked him to have breakfast with her.

Liu Lang, without any ceremony, sat down and asked, "Princess, did you sleep well last night? Are you adjusting well?"

Pan Feng frowned and said, "It's so hot and stuffy here, especially since there's no one to talk to. It's so annoying! Where did you go last night? I sent someone to look for you, but your men said you went out."

Liu Lang whispered, "Pan Feng, I have a heavy responsibility! There are five checkpoints along the way, and the generals are all Cheng Shijie's confidants. It's easy for us to go, but difficult to come back. I made some preparations in advance so that we wouldn't be caught off guard on the way back."

Pan Feng suddenly understood and said sweetly, "Liu Lang, I didn't expect you to be such a shrewd person!"

Liu Lang laughed and said, "If I didn't have a brain, could I be your husband?"

As he spoke, Liu Lang, using the table as cover, placed his hand on Pan Feng's thigh and stroked it through her dark blue gauze skirt.

Pan Feng was immediately alarmed. She hadn't expected Liu Lang to be so bold. Even if she wasn't the Zhaoyang Princess bestowed by the Emperor, he was acting as if no one else was around in broad daylight! Looking at Pan Bao, he was only focused on eating, having devoured almost all the dishes on the table, while the eight palace maids stood at the door with their hands down, completely oblivious to her.

Seeing Pan Feng's shy expression, clearly having succumbed to her charms, Liu Lang grew bolder, using his hands and seductive glances to tempt her.

Pan Feng, unable to resist Liu Lang's advances, blushed and moved away, saying, "Liu Lang, when do we set off?"

Liu Lang replied, "We'll depart after breakfast. Our next stop is Woniu Pass, but it's quite far, so we probably won't reach it today. We'll find an inn along the way. If the princess finds the journey too long, she is welcome to see me."

With that, Liu Lang gave Pan Feng an ambiguous smile.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Lang ordered them to set off. He, Murong Feixue, Zi Ruoer, Bai Yunfei, and Bai Xuefei rode ahead on tall steeds, followed by Fan Feng's carriage, and then the carriages of the palace maids, along with the accompanying entourage.

Sha Baofei, with a group of officials, respectfully saw Liu Lang and his party off at the city gate.

Sha Baofei told Liu Lang, "When you return, you must come to Feihu City. I will certainly host a grand banquet for you."

Liu Lang agreed verbally, but thought to himself: When I return, it will be the time for you to go to hell. However, your concubine is indeed quite good. It would be best if I enjoyed her first, and then sent you both to hell.

At this moment, Bai Yunfei and her sister asked Liu Lang about the events of the previous night.

As they walked, Liu Lang said, "You all slept soundly last night, but my sister-in-law and I didn't sleep a wink. We overheard Sha Baofei and Cheng Shijie plotting something, planning to kill him when we return. But before that, I took several thousand taels of silver from him."

As he spoke, Liu Lang took out the two boxes.

Seeing this, Bai Yunfei snatched the box from Liu Lang's hand and ran ahead to look at the jewels inside.

Zi Ruoer whispered, "Sister-in-law, didn't you sleep last night? You should hurry up and practice your skills!" Liu

Lang found it amusing, savoring the afterglow of his encounter with Murong Feixue the previous night. Suddenly remembering something, he asked Zi Ruoer, "Ruoer, what did you just say? When did you start calling your senior sister 'sister-in-law'?"

Zi Ruoer replied, "I'll have to change it sooner or later! Besides, calling her 'sister-in-law' is much more intimate. Aren't you happy?"

Liu Lang grinned, pointed to the Bai Xuefei and her sister in front of him, and said, "Ruoer, your two sisters in front don't know about our affairs. With a formidable enemy at hand, let's not talk about these things, okay?"

Zi Ruoer snorted and reluctantly agreed to Liu Lang's request.

Murong Feixue said, "Sixth Brother, you should tell them about Zi Ruo'er as soon as possible. I see how sincere they are towards you; even if you have another wife, they will accept it."

Sixth Brother nodded and said, "I have my own plans for that. Besides, I also intend to tell them about my sister-in-law and me."

Murong Feixue was immediately startled, her face showing panic, and she said in a trembling voice, "Sixth Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Zi Ruo'er asked, "Sixth Brother, what are you and my sister-in-law doing behind our backs?"

Seeing Murong Feixue's increasingly panicked expression, Sixth Brother smiled... He said, "My sister-in-law has always wanted a child, but she and my brother haven't been able to conceive. Since I have so many wives, I'm planning to give my first child to my sister-in-law to raise. The Bai sisters probably won't agree, so I'm entrusting this matter to Ruo'er."

Zi Ruo'er blushed deeply and said, "Sixth Brother, you're really talking nonsense."

Murong Feixue sighed, but still looked at Sixth Brother with a reproachful gaze, though a sweet feeling welled up inside her. She asked, "Ruo'er, will you be willing to give her up?"

Zi Ruo'er covered her face with her hands in embarrassment and rode away.

Sixth Brother watched the retreating figures of Zi Ruo'er and the other two and exclaimed, "Absolutely breathtaking!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang turned to Murong Feixue and said, "They are all beautiful and lovely, but there's one flaw..."

Murong Feixue asked, "Liu Lang, you're still not satisfied?"

Liu Lang replied, "They lack mature charm, which makes me feel less dependent on them. If they could be like my sister-in-law, always thinking of me and caring for me, how wonderful that would be!"

Murong Feixue sighed, "Liu Lang, don't compare me to them. Also, you must take good care of them along the way, and don't always focus your attention on me."

After saying this, a look of worry appeared on Murong Feixue's brow. She sighed softly and spurred her horse forward.

04-18
Chapter 5

The group of people stopped at noon to find a clean inn for lunch before continuing their journey. Because he hadn't slept well the night before, Liu Lang was dozing off on horseback. At this moment, a eunuch came to summon Liu Lang, saying that Pan Feng had something to discuss with him. So Liu Lang planned to take the opportunity to sleep in Pan Feng's carriage.

Bai Yunfei asked, "Sixth Brother, why are you so familiar with this princess? Why did she summon you to her carriage?"

Murong Feixue laughed, "You don't know, this Miss Pan is the daughter of Lord Pan Renmei, and Lord Pan even intended to marry her to Sixth Brother, but it didn't work out."

Bai Yunfei quickly asked, "Sixth Brother, why didn't it work out? Did she not like you?"

Sixth Brother said, "Yes! If I had been with her earlier, she wouldn't have become a princess, and you wouldn't have had the chance to be my wives, hehe!"

Bai Yunfei and her sister were both a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and said to Murong Feixue in unison, "Sister-in-law, Sixth Brother is bullying us!"

Murong Feixue put on a stern face and said to Sixth Brother, "You're really not serious. The four of us will clear the way ahead, so you don't need to follow. The princess has summoned you, so hurry up and go, lest we get angry when we see you."

Sixth Brother quickly climbed into Pan Feng's carriage, and the large group of people set off immediately.

Liu Lang lay comfortably in the carriage, feeling exhausted and about to fall asleep when Pan Feng grabbed his ear and called out, "Hey! Hey, I'm really annoyed. I called you here to talk to me, not to sleep."

Liu Lang opened his eyes and said weakly, "Feng'er, then just tell me what to do! Haven't I been listening the whole time?"

Pan Feng snorted, a hint of jealousy in her voice, "Everyone else is full of energy, but you're like a wilted eggplant..."

Liu Lang retorted, "Really? Am I that bad-looking?"

Pan Feng grabbed Liu Lang's arm and questioned, "I heard you married two women on the floating island all at once, I..." "Tell me, have you already consummated your marriage with them? Otherwise, why are you so listless?"

Liu Lang's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up, wrapping his arm around Pan Feng's slender waist. He laughed, "Since I'm bringing them home to be my wives, of course we have to consummate our marriage. Do you expect them to live like widows?"

Pan Feng angrily shook off Liu Lang's hand, saying, "You! You're so wicked! You actually consummated your marriage with them without my consent... um, I..."

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Feng'er, do I need to ask you for permission before I can consummate my marriage with my wife?"

Pan Feng blushed and said, "But didn't you say you wanted theirs too..."

As she spoke, Pan Feng's voice grew softer and softer.

Liu Lang laughed, "So you want to compete with them for the order!"

Pan Feng mustered her courage and said, "I am now the Princess Zhaoyang, bestowed by the Emperor. What are they? They are bandits who have been recruited by the government. Of course, I go first, and they go later."

Liu Lang shook his head, "That won't do. Since you want to enter the Yang family, you must abide by the Yang family's rules. There is no distinction of rank among the Yang family's wives."

"Then what distinction?"

Liu Lang said smugly, "Whoever serves me well will be the eldest, and so on down the line."

After saying that, Liu Lang smiled lecherously at Pan Feng.

Pan Feng immediately blushed and said, "This is your Yang family's rule?"

Liu Lang shook his head and said, "This is my rule! The person you are going to marry is me, not the Yang family. If you are not willing, I will not force you. Anyway, after I send you to Taiyuan Prefecture, I will just leave."

Pan Feng said anxiously, "You promised me that I would not marry Cheng Shijie's son."

Liu Lang chuckled and said, "So that means you are determined to marry me?"

After saying that, Liu Lang's hand slipped under the hem of Pan Feng's clothes.

Pan Feng struggled for a moment, then asked, "Sixth Brother, so you're saying that last night you really did cheat on me with them?"

Sixth Brother replied, "We're husband and wife, and it was even permitted by the Emperor. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Pan Feng said with a sob in her voice, "Anyway, I'm just unhappy!"

Sixth Brother lowered his head and kissed Pan Feng's tear-streaked face, saying, "I've come to keep you company, haven't I?"

Pan Feng still said unhappily, "Then why did you fall asleep as soon as you arrived?"

Sixth Brother shook his head and said, "No, hearing your voice immediately woke me up. You can feel it if you don't believe me!"

As he spoke, Sixth Brother pulled Pan Feng's delicate hand to his waist.

The moment Pan Feng's trembling hand touched Sixth Brother's erect penis, her cheeks flushed crimson with embarrassment, and her breathing became rapid.

Taking advantage of the moment, Liu Lang pressed his lips to Pan Feng's blushing cheek and said, "No matter what, you are now a princess, married by imperial decree to Cheng Shijie's second son, Cheng Qianhu. However, this Cheng Shijie is no good, and I suspect his son is even worse. I've decided to give the Cheng family a cuckold's horns right now."

Although Pan Feng was not yet married, the Pan family was renowned in the court, and Pan Long and Pan Hu were already married, giving Pan Feng some knowledge of matters between men and women. Naturally, she knew what Liu Lang meant by "cuckold's horns." Her blush deepened, especially with Liu Lang's dragon spear in her hand, her heart pounding wildly.

Liu Lang took the opportunity to speak provocatively to Pan Feng, lowering her guard, and then removed her palace attire.

Pan Feng glanced outside fearfully and said, "Sixth Brother, it's too dangerous! What if someone sees us?"

Sixth Brother replied, "Who would dare peek into the princess's carriage? If I see them, I'll chop off their heads."

With that, Sixth Brother removed his light blue bodice.

At this moment, Pan Feng was panting heavily, her breasts heaving more and more violently.

Sixth Brother swallowed hard, cupping Pan Feng's snow-white breasts in his hands, and said, "So big, so fragrant!"

Pan Feng turned her head away shyly, her body limp and powerless. Sixth Brother then stripped Pan Feng naked, revealing her as beautiful as a daffodil, especially her curvaceous figure, which aroused Sixth Brother's lust.

"Sixth Brother, don't I look beautiful?"

Pan Feng asked shyly.

Faced with Pan Feng's boldness, Sixth Brother was surprised and had some doubts, but with such a beauty in his arms, he couldn't afford to think too much. He immediately wrapped his arms around Pan Feng's neck and kissed her fragrant lips passionately.

Pan Feng didn't refuse, nor did she push Liu Lang away. Instead, she hugged him tightly and said, "Liu Lang, I'm giving you everything. You must treat me well from now on."

Liu Lang focused on kissing her soft, white breasts. Suddenly, he looked up at Pan Feng and said, "Feng'er, as long as you're sincere to me, how could I bear to treat you badly?"

As he spoke, Liu Lang teased Pan Feng's sensitive areas while kissing her fragrant lips!

Pan Feng's heart fluttered, her breath quickened, her face flushed, and her beautiful eyes gazed intently at Liu Lang, filled with longing, desire, and anxiety. Her chest heaved.

The afternoon was already hot, and the march only intensified the restlessness. Liu Lang, thinking of the endless lovemaking they had shared in the carriage, felt a surge of pleasure.

Pan Feng, her heart just awakened, couldn't resist Liu Lang's teasing. Her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck, her tongue darting out. The moment it touched his, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire—incredibly intense.

Liu Lang and Pan Feng embraced tightly, kissing passionately and caressing each other.

"Mmm…so hot…Liu Lang, take off your clothes too!"

Pan Feng said coquettishly, swaying her body.

Desire, once ignited, is like spilled water—impossible to stop!

At this moment, Liu Lang was blinded by lust. He quickly stripped off his clothes, gazing at Pan Feng's alluring body—her smooth abdomen and long, slender legs—truly a masterpiece of nature. Especially her alluring private parts, like a secluded valley in the deep mountains, untouched by human hands. Liu Lang hadn't expected that Pan Feng, despite her seductive appearance, was still a virgin.

Liu Lang's eyes blazed with desire. He then embraced her curvaceous body, parted her legs, and thrust with all his might!

"Ah!"

Pan Feng felt a tearing pain, losing her virginity.

Liu Lang's thrust caused Pan Feng to shed tears of pain, her whole body trembling, about to scream.

Liu Lang quickly silenced her with his lips, while simultaneously thrusting rapidly.

Soon, Pan Feng finally climaxed, beginning to moan softly, her arms tightly embracing Liu Lang.

The march was hurried, and the roads were mostly mountainous and uneven. The coachman, momentarily distracted, caused the carriage to get stuck in a pothole, bouncing it around. Liu Lang and Pan Feng, caught up in their revelry, were nearly thrown off the carriage by the sudden turn of events. The carriage curtain was also lifted, causing Pan Feng to scream in fright. Fortunately, Liu Lang reacted quickly, grabbing Pan Feng as she slid towards the carriage door with one hand and pulling the curtain tighter with the other, preventing any exposure.

Pan Feng's screams startled the guards, and the coachman, pale with fright, immediately stopped the carriage and knelt on the ground to await punishment.

Pan Bao rode over and asked, "Sister... what... what happened?"

Liu Lang quickly replied, "Nothing, your sister and I were playing a game."

Pan Bao asked again, "What game? Can I... play with you?"

Liu Lang firmly said, "No!"

Murong Feixue rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing that nothing serious had happened, she asked, "Princess, Your Excellency, is everything alright?"

Liu Lang quickly replied, "It's nothing! Just be more careful next time. Disturbing my sleep is truly despicable, but considering you're not familiar with the roads in Shanxi, I'll let you off this time. Let's hurry on our way!" The coachman thanked him repeatedly

and then boarded the carriage to continue their journey, while Murong Feixue rode ahead to clear the way.

Pan Feng tightly grasped Liu Lang's hand and said, "You scared me to death! If I had been thrown out just now, and those people saw me like this, I don't know how I would live. It's so embarrassing!" Liu Lang breathed a sigh

of relief, thinking: Fortunately, it was my sister-in-law who came to inquire. If it had been someone else, and they wanted to come in and see what was going on, that would have been troublesome! Thinking of this, Liu Lang urged Pan Feng to get dressed, and then the two sat facing each other. Liu

Lang said, "Feng'er, how is it? Do you feel a sense of pride now that you're a woman of the Yang family?"

Pan Feng replied, "I don't feel that way at all. Tell me, do you agree to those two sisters becoming my sisters?"

Liu Lang said, "I do agree, but I'm afraid they won't. You two should talk it over when you have time, but you must wait until we get back before arguing. You absolutely mustn't have a conflict with each other, so that Cheng Shijie can take advantage of the situation."

Pan Feng happily said, "I understand."

The large group continued on their way until dusk, when they stopped. Liu Lang took the opportunity to rest in Pan Feng's carriage for the afternoon.

At this time, Murong Feixue came to report, "Your Excellency, further ahead is a large valley, and it will probably take some time to get out of it. It's getting late, and there's a small town ahead. Should we stay there for the night and head to Woniu Pass tomorrow?"

Liu Lang agreed and ordered them to stop and rest.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few. After having dinner at the inn, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

The inn was small to begin with, and even though all the rooms had been requisitioned, most of the Imperial Guards still had to stay in their tents.

After Liu Lang led the Bai Yunfei sisters on a patrol and returned to the inn, Liu Lang said, "Although we passed through Flying Tiger City smoothly, I still feel that things are not peaceful here. Everyone needs to be on high alert tonight."

The Bai Yunfei sisters responded in unison.

Bai Yunfei said, "Sixth Brother, you and Sister-in-law were busy all night last night. Let me and Little Sister keep watch tonight so you can get some rest."

Hearing this, Sixth Brother kissed Bai Yunfei and her sister on the cheek, saying, "Then thank you for your hard work!"

Sixth Brother went to Murong Feixue's room, but was stopped by her as he was about to enter. Murong Feixue said, "Ruo'er is taking a bath. Please wait a moment."

Sixth Brother smiled and tried to barge in, but Murong Feixue's face hardened, saying, "If you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite."

Sixth Brother said, "Sister-in-law, tonight I've arranged for Yunfei and her sister to patrol. I'll come and practice with you!"

Murong Feixue blushed, glanced at the room in alarm, and said, "How can that be?"

Zi Ruo'er said from inside the room, "Sister-in-law, is that Sixth Brother? Please come in."

After entering the room, Sixth Brother saw that Zi Ruo'er had finished bathing and turned to ask Murong Feixue, "Sister-in-law..." "Do you want to take a bath?"

Murong Feixue asked with a stern face. "I've already bathed."

Zi Ruoer tied up her beautiful hair and asked, "I just heard you ask my sister-in-law if she wanted to practice her skills. Do you also know that my sister-in-law is going to advance her primordial spirit these days?"

Liu Lang said, "Of course I know! You know, this time when we enter Shanxi, we're going straight into the dragon's den and the tiger's lair. Everyone is counting on my sister-in-law to protect us!"

Zi Ruoer nodded and said, "That makes sense, but if my sister-in-law wants to practice her skills, how can you help?"

Liu Lang said, "I've already started cultivating my spirit. We can be considered fellow disciples."

Zi Ruoer pouted and said, "Who said we're fellow disciples?"

Murong Feixue laughed and said, "Don't argue! Liu Lang, I'm going to practice with Zi Ruoer tonight. We've been traveling all day, and you must be tired. Why don't you go back and rest early?"

Seeing that Murong Feixue was so determined, Liu Lang knew that there was no chance tonight, so he returned to his room dejectedly.

Just as Liu Lang was feeling annoyed, a eunuch came over and said to him, "Your Majesty, the Princess summons you!"

Liu Lang thought to himself, "It's impossible with my sister-in-law anyway, I might as well go and see!" With that thought, Liu Lang followed the eunuch to see Pan Feng.

At this time, Pan Feng had just finished bathing and was wearing a thin, gossamer-thin white gauze dress, sitting barefoot on the bed.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Liu Lang did not bother with formalities, but stepped forward and embraced Pan Feng's bare, fragrant shoulders, asking, "Pan Feng, I've come."

Pan Feng did not refuse, and the two immediately became entangled in passion, like dry tinder igniting a raging fire.

Just as Liu Lang touched Pan Feng's breasts, he suddenly heard a sharp, piercing sound of a huqin (a type of Chinese flute).

This immediately dampened Liu Lang's spirits, putting him on high alert.

Before he could even finish dressing and leave Pan Feng's room, chaos erupted outside, filled with the sounds of clashing weapons. Liu Lang quickly pushed open the door and saw Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei already fighting two men in black. The guards, hearing the commotion, rushed over. Then, a loud whistling sound pierced the night sky, and dozens of dark figures appeared on the east, south, and west walls, all wielding sharp blades, leaping down to fight the guards. On the

high south wall, a slender figure appeared. In the moonlight, the woman, dressed in black, was breathtakingly beautiful. Beside her were four burly men, wielding spiked clubs, their brows furrowed and eyes fierce.

The woman was Yelü Changting, daughter of Yelü Sage, the Southern King of Liao. The four men were her subordinates, known as the Four Generals of the Niu Family.

Liu Lang was shocked, thinking: "These people are launching a sneak attack in the dead of night; it seems they're after me."

The fighters against Bai Xuefei and her sister were "Long River Sunset," subordinates of Yelü Changting. Originally under the command of the Third Young Master Ma, they later surrendered to the Liao Dynasty. Their coordinated sword and spear techniques, including "Long River Three Slashes" and "Sunset Nine Styles," kept Bai Xuefei and her sister struggling to keep up.

At this moment, Murong Feixue and Zi Ruo'er arrived upon hearing the commotion. Zi Ruo'er immediately joined the fight, while Murong Feixue flew to Liu Lang's side. Pan Bao also appeared, wielding a copper staff.

Liu Lang told Pan Bao, "Just keep an eye on Pan Feng!"

Pan Bao nodded and assumed a fighting stance, ready for battle.

Murong Feixue pointed at Yelü Changting and said, "Sixth Brother, that's Yelü Sage's daughter, the head of the Flying Eagle Hall of the Southern Court of the Great Liao. I think her purpose is very clear: to prevent us from marrying Cheng Shijie. It seems that Cheng Shijie's relationship with the Great Liao is not very stable yet, and the Liao people don't seem to trust him very much."

Sixth Brother nodded and said, "I understand."

Murong Feixue then said, "Sixth Brother, protect the princess. I'll go stop those Liao people."

Sixth Brother warned, "Sister-in-law, be careful!"

Murong Feixue took her sword and jumped off the pavilion. As soon as she landed, she was surrounded by the four generals of the Niu family, and four spiked clubs came crashing down on her.

Seeing this, Murong Feixue calmly converted her primordial spirit into true energy, which flowed through her longsword. She fought against four opponents alone, wielding her three-foot-long steel sword with unpredictable skill.

Although the four Niu brothers were strong and their clubs heavy, Murong Feixue knew how to use skill to overcome overwhelming force. Suddenly, she swung her sword horizontally, a flash of cold light, and a shower of blood appeared, severing both legs of the third Niu brother. He immediately lost consciousness.

The other three Niu brothers hadn't expected Murong Feixue to severely injure their third brother in just a few moves. Her sword strikes were as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the third Niu brother's legs were severed. The

three Niu brothers were instantly enraged, their eyes turning red with shock and fury. They attacked Murong Feixue together, their spiked clubs raining down on her.

Murong Feixue hurriedly wielded her longsword, its light shifting and unpredictable, like willow catkins in the wind, transforming into points of cold, sharp lightning, deflecting the three spiked clubs like a phoenix spreading its wings.

Seeing that Murong Feixue not only possessed superb swordsmanship but also abundant inner strength, the three Niu brothers formed a fan-shaped attack, hoping to exhaust her strength and spirit before delivering the final blow.

Murong Feixue, being exceptionally clever, naturally saw through the intentions of the three Niu brothers. She snorted inwardly, thinking, "Trying to wear me down? Humph! Not so easy!" With that thought, Murong Feixue used the Flowing Cloud Step, her longsword striking east and west, south and north with unpredictable movements. The three Niu brothers were drenched in cold sweat, completely unable to cope with her. They could only rely on their strength to contend with Murong Feixue, temporarily maintaining their balance, but they were already extremely exhausted.

On the other side, Zi Ruoer, together with the Bai Yunfei sisters, dealt with the two masters, Changhe Luori and Zi Ruoer. Zi Ruoer and Murong Feixue were from the same school, both having received the true teachings of the Holy Mother of Lishan. Although Zi Ruoer was not as skilled as Murong Feixue, her swordsmanship was in no way inferior.

Zi Ruo'er wielded the Cloud Dragon Sword with the grace of a divine dragon, soaring freely. The sword's movements were unpredictable, its tip conjuring thousands of sword flowers and countless cold stars. Sometimes the sword resembled a rainbow, crisscrossing and circling, emitting dazzling seven-colored light; other times it was like a tidal wave, layer upon layer, exploding into countless silver rings and starlight, stirring up towering waves like a sea dragon churning the ocean. With the assistance of the Bai Yunfei sisters, Changhe Luori was trapped in this boundless sword net. Then, the thousands of light points shattered like raging silver waves against the blue sky, unleashing a torrential downpour of swords. Changhe Luori was unable to withstand it. Exchanging glances, they both unleashed the "Asura Netherworld Wave," instantly creating rolling black clouds and countless ghosts that swept towards Zi Ruo'er and her two companions.

However, both Zi Ruo'er and Bai Yunfei were skilled in defense. Zi Ruo'er used the Beacon Fire and Thunder Formation, while the Bai Yunfei sisters used the Seven Star Armor to neutralize the powerful attack of Changhe Luori.

At this moment, the three women exchanged glances, and Zi Ruo'er took on the heavy responsibility of defense alone, while Bai Yunfei used the Six Ding Fire Driving Technique and Bai Xuefei used the Six Jia Cloud Dividing Technique to create a golden-armored giant spirit, which fiercely attacked Changhe Luori.

Chapter Six: The Liao Princess Attacks .

Seeing that Zi Ruo'er and her two sisters had turned the tide of battle and switched from defense to offense, Murong Feixue also accelerated her offensive pace. Then, she thrust out a sword with incredible strangeness, like a bolt of lightning suddenly flashing across a cloudless night sky. With a flash of light, the sword light pierced through the attack of the three Niu brothers and, with a "whoosh!"

sound, pierced into the throat of the second Niu brother. The second Niu brother never dreamed that he would die at the hands of Murong Feixue, especially since this sword was so unexpected, as if it had always been there, and he had automatically placed his throat against it.

Blood gushed from the throat of the second son of the Niu family, his eyes wide with disbelief. With a

thud, he collapsed onto the yellow earth, his life ending there.

Seeing Murong Feixue kill two of Yelü Changting's generals, Liu Lang danced with joy, while Pan Feng shouted, "Sister-in-law, you did a great job! Keep it up!"

Liu Lang quickly said, "You can't just call my sister-in-law whatever you want now. Besides, she's disguised as a man; don't reveal her identity."

Pan Feng stuck out her tongue, indicating she understood.

The remaining two brothers of the Niu family, seeing their two brothers dead, were heartbroken. They then used all their strength to wield their spiked clubs, wishing they could smash Murong Feixue into mincemeat to avenge their fallen brothers.

The eldest son of the Niu family, suddenly filled with a desperate will, roared, "You wretch! Give me back my brother's life!"

With that, he raised his spiked club and began a frenzied, furious attack, engaging Murong Feixue in a rapid exchange of blows. However, Murong Feixue's swordsmanship was cunning; instead of directly attacking the club with her steel sword, she would seize an opportunity to suddenly throw it. The sword shot out like lightning, a flash of cold light disappearing in an instant, followed by a spray of blood that stained the eldest son's chest. He fell face-up to the ground, a gleaming, trembling longsword embedded in his chest.

The fourth son of the Niu family, seeing all his brothers killed, lost his composure and frantically swung his spiked club, completely lacking any real technique, relentlessly smashing it at Murong Feixue.

Seeing this from the high wall, Yelü Changting snorted angrily and said, "Brother Yi, take down this swordsman first!"

The three men in black beside Yelü Changting replied, "Yes, sir!"

They then floated down the wall and charged forward with dozens of Flying Eagle Hall experts.

The guards, seeing this, stepped forward to block Yelü Changting's men. However, these guards were almost all mediocre; they might be able to deal with ordinary thieves, but against the experts of the Flying Eagle Hall, it was like throwing eggs against rocks. In the very

first exchange, the guards were scattered and suffered heavy casualties, while the Flying Eagle Hall experts then stepped over the corpses and advanced towards Murong Feixue.

Murong Feixue, having just killed four generals of the Niu family, was about to catch her breath when she saw the enemy launch another fierce attack, especially since the Yi brothers, who seemed to be even stronger than the four generals.

Seeing that the guards were utterly useless, and realizing the dire consequences if the situation couldn't be stabilized, Murong Feixue prepared the powerful primordial spirit technique "Heavenly Lightning Net" to defend herself.

Just moments before, with Zi Ruo'er's help, Murong Feixue had completed her primordial spirit advancement. Although she had never used Heavenly Lightning Net before, she had already memorized its incantation. For every cultivator, reaching this stage was incredibly difficult; success meant being among the elite of the cultivation world.

In the Lishan Sect, apart from the Holy Mother of Lishan, no one had ever cultivated to the eighth primordial spirit. While feeling proud of herself, Murong Feixue also felt a pang of embarrassment as she recalled how Liu Lang had helped her.

At this moment, Murong Feixue had already possessed her eighth primordial spirit. To minimize casualties on her side, she decisively unleashed the Heavenly Lightning Net. With a wave of her hand, a ghostly blue lightning bolt appeared in her palm. The terrifying blue light rapidly burned, instantly forming a dark blue net that quickly expanded, spreading infinitely towards those rushing towards Murong Feixue. The Flying Eagle Hall experts were suffocated by the intense heat, involuntarily retreating.

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded from within the Heavenly Lightning Net, causing all the Flying Eagle Hall experts to feel as if their internal organs were being churned, their meridians reversed, their blood flowed backward, and their vision was completely obscured by darkness. Then, they seemed to see thousands upon thousands of white bones, their empty eyes crawling with maggots. Then, a bright blue flame burned their bodies, turning them into thick smoke. Afterward, the sky was filled with lightning that tore through the heavens, leaving them with no way to escape. Some of those with weaker skills even threw down their weapons, clutching their heads and howling like ghosts.

The Yi brothers and Changhe Luori shielded themselves with their protective shields, shouting, "Don't panic! It's just an illusion!"

Despite their reassuring words, many Flying Eagle Hall experts were still scared to death out of fear, while others, in their mental confusion, killed each other. If Murong Feixue hadn't just cultivated her eighth primordial spirit and her cultivation was still shallow, the casualties would have been even greater. However, Yelü Changting already believed they couldn't continue fighting, so he let out a roar and ordered his men to retreat.

Liulang watched Murong Feixue's attack with a mixture of admiration and envy, thinking: "If only I could unleash such divine power!" Then he remembered that the essence of the Bright God resided within him, so mastering such a divine skill was only a matter of time. Besides, his current Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning Technique was also very powerful!

At this moment, seeing Yelü Changting about to escape, Liulang thought: "To catch the thief, catch the king first! Now that I possess divine power, I can definitely capture her alive!" Thinking this, Liu Lang leaped off the pavilion and rushed towards Yelü Changting's location.

Murong Feixue, seeing this, worried about Liu Lang's safety and was about to chase after him to join him when she was stopped by the Yi brothers. Murong Feixue knew that the power of the Heavenly Lightning Net was still insufficient to threaten such experts; she could only rely on her strength. So, gritting her teeth, she wielded her three-foot-long steel sword and engaged the Yi brothers in a fierce battle.

Murong Feixue wielded her longsword, unleashing a spiderweb of starlight sword rain, sparks flashing and swirling. The Yi brothers, however, focused all their efforts on dealing with this dense sword net. They all possessed magical abilities, unlike the four generals of the Niu family who only had brute force. Therefore, Murong Feixue found it somewhat difficult to contend with both brothers simultaneously. Fortunately, Changhe Luori, having received Yelü Changting's order to retreat, and considering their solitary nature and aversion to others, especially since they didn't get along with the Yi brothers, withdrew on their own.

As the setting sun receded, Zi Ruo'er and Bai Yunfei, the sisters, were freed up to fight. They, along with Murong Feixue, engaged the three Yi brothers, while three or four hundred guards watched from the sidelines.

At this point, the Yi brothers lost their will to fight, so Yi Neng threw a smoke bomb, and the three of them used the opportunity to escape.

Murong Feixue, ignoring her exhaustion, said to Zi Ruo'er and Bai Yunfei, "You protect the princess, I'm going after Liu Lang."

With that, Murong Feixue leaped onto the high southern wall. Bai Yunfei said, "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll go with you!"

With that, Bai Yunfei caught up with Murong Feixue.

Although Bai Yunfei and Zi Ruo'er were also worried about Liu Lang's safety, considering that if they all chased after him, and the enemy circled back, there would be no one to protect Pan Feng, they had no choice but to stay behind to arrange for reinforcements to protect Pan Feng, while hoping that Liu Lang would be safe.

Yelü Changting ran ahead, with Liu Lang hot on her heels. After about five or six li from the inn, they saw towering mountains ahead. Yelü Changting thought, "This brat is chasing me alone. Why should I be afraid of him? Further on, the mountains are high and the forests dense. With my skills, dealing with him will be more than enough. I can catch him and vent my anger." Thinking this, Yelü Changting slowed her pace. She

passed through a grove of trees and saw a sheer cliff ahead. Liu Lang caught up, seeing she had nowhere to run, and crossed his arms, saying, "Princess, now you have nowhere to escape. Are you going to surrender obediently?" Yelü Changting

glared angrily, snorted, and said, "Boy, you really aren't afraid of death! You actually dared to chase me all the way here!"

Liu Lang said, "Enough nonsense. Even if we were to fight, you're no match for me. Surrender now!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang looked at Yelü Changting.

Dressed in black, Yelü Changting's long, black hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with phoenix-shaped gold and silver ornaments, her jade pendants jingling, and her face like a crescent moon, her eyebrows delicately drawn. Her skin, especially, was as white as jade, reflecting the moonlight—truly a rare beauty.

Seeing Yelü Changting draw her sword, Liu Lang said, "Beauty, don't resort to violence so soon. We can sit down and talk!"

Yelü Changting spat, saying, "What is there to talk about with you? Prepare to die!"

With that, Yelü Changting lunged forward, her blade flashing coldly, a black-sheathed sword forming a dense net of blades, slashing down at Liu Lang.

Liu Lang, seeing this, quickly dodged backward. After avoiding several attacks, realizing she intended to kill him, he dared not be careless, cautiously parrying while trying to figure out how to capture her.

Liu Lang wanted to unleash the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique, but feared its power might endanger Yelü Changting's life. However, as time went on, Liu Lang found himself increasingly overwhelmed, as Yelü Changting showed no mercy, each strike aimed at Liu Lang's vitals.

Enraged, Liu Lang roared and, while retreating rapidly, brought his hands together, unleashing the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique, which struck Yelü Changting.

Startled, Yelü Changting quickly crossed her fists in front of her chest, desperately trying to block the powerful blow.

With a loud "bang!"

, Yelü Changting was thrown back several steps, nearly falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Lang was about to rush over and capture Yelü Changting when he saw her pull something from her waist and launch it into the sky.

Looking up, Liu Lang saw a dazzling red light in the sky and thought: "Oh no! What kind of magic weapon is this? I've never seen anything like it before!" In a flash, Liu Lang knew he might not be able to escape. In desperation, he pounced on Yelü Changting…

Seeing that Liu Lang not only didn't dodge but was also determined to attack, Yelü Changting hesitated. After all, her Honglong Lasso was made of ten-thousand-year-old golden cicada silk, extremely flexible and agile. She was currently holding onto the loop that tightened the lasso, but if she tightened it now, not only Liu Lang but she would also be trapped inside… In that

instant of hesitation, Liu Lang had already pounced on her. Liu Lang disregarded the taboo of men and women touching, immediately opening his arms and tightly embracing Yelü Changting.

Yelü Changting was instantly filled with shame and anger. Forgetting that she was still holding onto the Honglong Lasso, she slapped Liu Lang with her palm, hoping to repel him. Unexpectedly, Liu Lang was still determined to hold onto Yelü Changting, not dodging her attack at all.

Yelü Changting struck Liulang hard in the chest, causing Liulang to cry out in pain. However, Liulang held on tightly, and taking advantage of Yelü Changting's shame and embarrassment, he took the Honglong Lasso, then bound Yelü Changting's hands behind her back, securing them firmly. He then pushed her to the ground, whereupon she cried out and rubbed her chest. Yelü

Changting, shocked that Liulang would resort to such a despicable method to capture her, cried out, "You little thief, let me go, or else..."

At this moment, Liulang kicked Yelü Changting in the buttocks, saying, "Or else what? You're in my hands now, I can do whatever I want with you, it's not your place to speak. Damn it! You stinking head, you actually hit so hard!"

Liulang took off his outer garment to examine the injury on his chest, seeing a red, swollen area with a clear handprint. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "Little girl, I couldn't bear to kill you, but you're determined to kill me." "Luckily, I've mastered a peerless martial art these past few days, which protects me. If it were a few days ago, wouldn't that palm strike have killed me?"

Yelü Changting gritted her teeth and said, "You little thief, now that I'm in your hands, kill me if you want, I won't even blink."

Liu Lang snorted, leering at Yelü Changting, and chuckled, "Whether you live or die is entirely up to me, little beauty. I'd like to throw you off a cliff."

With that, Liu Lang picked up Yelü Changting, and saw a hint of panic in her starry eyes. Liu Lang thought: I don't believe you're really not afraid of death. But I have a soft heart and can't bear to see a woman die like this. I'll find a place for you to experience earthly bliss before I deal with you.

Yelü Changting saw that Liu Lang didn't throw her off the cliff, but instead carried her behind a hidden rock.

Seeing the wicked grin on Liu Lang's face, Yelü Changting sensed something and exclaimed in panic, "You little thief, what do you want to do?"

Liu Lang put Yelü Changting down, then rubbed his hands together and suddenly pulled out Yelü Changting's belt.

Yelü Changting roared, "You lecherous scoundrel, how dare you be disrespectful to this princess?"

Liu Lang patted Yelü Changting's chest and said, "You brat, you'd better understand, we are at war between two nations, each serving our own master. You are a princess, that's true, but you are a princess of the Liao Dynasty. In my hands, you are a prisoner of war, and I can do whatever I want to you."

Yelü Changting's cheeks flushed red, and she looked at Liu Lang with a mixture of anger and helplessness, saying, "Everyone says the Yang family generals are upright and honorable, but I never thought they would be so despicable. You'd better give me a quick death, or I won't let you go."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Alright! " "Be more decisive! Fine, I have a poison here called Seven-Step Intestine-Severing Powder. I'll give it to you now. Hmph, when you get to the King of Hell, give him my regards. Eighty years later, I'll pay my respects to him."

With that, Liu Lang smiled inwardly, took out the potent aphrodisiac, took out two pills, placed them in his palm, and brought them to Yelü Changting's lips, saying, "Think carefully before you eat them. I'm not forcing you!"

Yelü Changting sighed, thinking: This little thief is wicked. Falling into his hands will surely end badly. As a princess of the Liao Dynasty, a person of noble birth, how can I allow him to defile me? Death would be best. Thinking this, Yelü Changting opened her mouth and swallowed the two capsules of "poison" in one gulp.

Liu Lang feigned regret, saying, "Princess, do you really want to die? This poison is lethal, and besides, I don't have the antidote. You..."

Seeing Yelü Changting close her eyes, two pearl-like tears slid down her face, stirring a feeling of pity in Liu Lang's heart. However, he still said, "For the sake of you being a princess, I will bury your body after you die. But I must cut off your head and take it back to report. You know, because of your trouble, more than a dozen guards around me have died. They were people close to the emperor. Taking your head back to report might even bring a reward." Upon hearing this,

Yelü Changting was so angry that she almost exploded. She opened her eyes and cursed, "You little thief, you are truly despicable! Am I, a dignified princess, not even as good as a guard?"

Seeing that Yelü Changting looked even more beautiful when she was angry, Liu Lang couldn't help but hug Yelü Changting's shoulders and give her a sweet kiss.

Yelü Changting angrily tried to struggle, but the Honglong Lasso was tightly bound, and she couldn't resist at all. Suddenly, she remembered that Liu Lang had said he had given her the Seven-Step Intestine-Severing Powder. Even if her intestines weren't severed, she should at least be experiencing stomach pain. But instead, a warm current slowly invaded her dantian, and that warm current quickly spread throughout her body, making her feel hot all over.

Yelü Changting asked angrily, "What kind of medicine did you give me?"

Liu Lang said in surprise, "Didn't I tell you? And I didn't force you to take it; you insisted on taking it yourself!"

Yelü Changting said angrily, "Why don't I feel like I'm going to die? On the contrary..."

Liu Lang lowered his body, reaching inside Yelü Changting's clothes, and said with a wicked smile, "That feeling of going to die is coming soon."

Yelü Changting immediately understood the meaning behind Liu Lang's words and was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. Although Yelü Changting had learned martial arts from her master since childhood, unlike her father Yelü Sage who was licentious and dissolute, she had long been exposed to such matters of love and sex due to her long service to Yelü Sage.

Although Yelü Changting was still a virgin, she had long heard of drugs that could induce lust in women and make them willingly offer themselves to men.

The thought of herself soon becoming lewd and shameless, offering her precious virginity to the scoundrel before her whom she wished to tear to pieces, filled Yelü Changting with shame and anger. She struggled to stand up.

Liu Lang immediately stopped her. He could feel that Yelü Changting was already limp, knowing she had fallen for his spell. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace. Her cheeks were flushed, and she seemed to have lost all her strength, only able to lean weakly against him.

"You..."

At this moment, Yelü Changting felt a rush of heat to her head, and she could barely utter a sound.

At that moment, Liu Lang's hand impatiently slipped inside Yelü Changting's clothes, even reaching into her bodice, and began kneading her breasts. His technique was so skillful, arousing Yelü Changting's desire. Combined with the aphrodisiac he had taken, which accelerated blood flow, the drug's effects instantly penetrated her internal organs, making her whole body hot. After a groan, she forgot to struggle, unconsciously thrusting her breasts forward, her shy expression as if she were enjoying Liu Lang's caresses.

"Do you want it? My princess..."

Liu Lang now admired the aphrodisiacs produced in the United States of America immensely, his hand wantonly caressing Yelü Changting's breasts.

"You, you devil..."

Falling into Liu Lang's hands, the pleasure from his kneading of her breasts sent shivers down Yelü Changting's spine. Her once clear consciousness began to blur. She cried out, "What do you want? Please let me go!"

"You know what I want."

Liu Lang gently kissed Yelü Changting's soft earlobe, his breath hot against her skin. From her unconscious movements, Liu Lang knew she was burning with desire. He teased her while slowly removing her clothes.

Then, Liu Lang swiftly stripped off his own clothes and thrust his dragon spear into Yelü Changting's body. A scream followed. Liu Lang looked down and saw his spear stained with her virgin blood.

Knowing that Yelü Changting was a princess of the Liao Dynasty and that this was her first time, Liu Lang was incredibly excited and finished quickly.

Liu Lang lowered his head, looking at Yelü Changting who was still in a daze, and gently kissed her tender cheeks, then her rosy lips. Under the intense burning desire, Yelü Changting had long forgotten her shame, and with Liu Lang's teasing, she kept moaning softly, as if begging for mercy, or as if craving to be played with. Every moan made her feel ashamed.

After experiencing the pleasures of love, Yelü Changting's body and mind were subjected to an unprecedented stimulation and shock. The divine essence within Liu Lang's body automatically output a large amount of true energy, continuously stimulating Yelü Changting's dantian. Coupled with Liu Lang's exquisite technique, she couldn't help but cry out…

Chapter Seven: Turbulent Times and Perilous Situations.

Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei relentlessly pursued the three Yi brothers. The three Yi brothers came from Miao territory: Yi Neng was skilled in poison, Yi Gu in gunpowder, and Yi Suo in hidden weapons.

After running for a while, seeing that Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei were still hot on their heels, although Murong Feixue was ruthless, they unanimously decided to kill them.

The three Yi brothers abruptly stopped, forming a triangular formation. Yi Neng then shouted at Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei, who had caught up, "Do you think we brothers are afraid of you, chasing us so relentlessly?"

Murong Feixue retorted, "Traitors! Surrender now! If you provoke me, you might not even save your lives. If you know what's good for you, come back with me!" Yi

Neng let out a cold laugh and said to the other two, "Kill them!"

The three Yi brothers drew their weapons and charged forward. Yi Neng and Yi Gu fought Murong Feixue, while Yi Suo fought Bai Yunfei. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, neither side had gained the upper hand.

Yineng wielded a soft vine short spear, combined with Yigu's Crescent Moon Demon Blade, launching a fierce attack on Murong Feixue. Murong Feixue's steel sword suddenly transformed into a dazzling silver sphere, blocking her path and perfectly intercepting Yineng and Yigu's attacks. The silver sphere then exploded, unleashing countless sword beams that shone brightly, converging into a blinding silver light that expanded from Murong Feixue herself into an enormous sphere, radiating menacing sword light in all directions.

In that instant, under the moonlight reflecting off Murong Feixue's sword light, Yineng and Yigu transformed into two silver figures, their bodies shimmering with light. And in that same instant, they launched a sudden counterattack, unleashing their signature move—Dragon Soaring Across the Four Seas.

As soon as Yineng and Yigu unleashed their attacks, a surging tide of light erupted, like a divine dragon churning the ocean, stirring up towering, icy waves that shattered into countless tiny sparks of light, falling more densely than a downpour and more fiercely than a gale. The demonic blade flashed with dazzling light, swirling and dancing as if alive, tightly enveloping Murong Feixue.

Murong Feixue recognized Yineng and Yigu's moves as evolved from the Shu Mountain swordplay, their skillful modifications and coordination making it virtually flawless. She dared not be careless, unleashing a thousand sword flowers with her own sword. Then, several sword lights suddenly flashed past, like lightning striking without warning in the darkness, carrying a light as bright as day. Combined with the internal energy evolved from her primordial spirit, the light pierced through the hilt and reached the blade, shimmering faintly in the moonlight, its cold gleam chilling to the bone. The sword shadows crisscrossed, and the three fought fiercely, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Bai Yunfei's encounter with Yi Suo was far from easy. Of the three Yi brothers, Yi Suo possessed the best martial arts skills, and was particularly adept at cunning and concealed weapons.

Yi Suo's weapon was the Taiyi Divine Hook, a uniquely shaped weapon, resembling the Chinese character "乙" (yi). It had an ivory handle, exquisitely carved, and the hook itself was not made of ordinary iron, consisting of seven sections, the last being the blade tip, over two inches long and exceptionally sharp.

The Taiyi Divine Hook's ingenious use lay in a mechanism on the handle. With a gentle press, the seven sections would automatically straighten, allowing it to be used as a sword. When engaging in swordplay, it could transform from a sword into a hook, entangled with the opponent's weapon. This unique, unpredictable technique of switching between hook and sword was truly original.

Yi Suo had already discerned that Bai Yunfei was not male, and thus tested her by frequently striking her chest with a single palm strike.

Bai Yunfei's face flushed crimson, carefully parrying while inwardly cursing Yi Suo's lewdness.

Seeing Bai Yunfei's shy expression, Yi Suo immediately understood. So, after thrusting out the Taiyi Divine Hook, he abruptly retracted, the sharp tip slicing across Bai Yunfei's chest. Her bodice was torn, revealing her white shoulders and undergarment, the pink peonies embroidered on it still faintly visible.

A flash of shame and anger crossed Bai Yunfei's eyes, her movements becoming increasingly swift and subtle, her long whip whistling through the air, as if afraid Yi Suo would approach.

Seeing Bai Yunfei's porcelain-like skin exposed to the air, Yi Suo's lust was aroused. He suddenly threw a hidden weapon and, taking advantage of Bai Yunfei's dodge, moved closer. Then, the divine hook swung again, tearing off the sleeve of Bai Yunfei's upper garment, exposing her light blue undergarment and slender arms.

"Little beauty, I'll make you completely naked!"

Yi Suo shouted excitedly, quickly pouncing on Bai Yunfei.

Bai Yunfei was both ashamed and anxious, but her long whip was no match for the Taiyi Divine Hook. Just as she was about to be exposed, Murong Feixue noticed Bai Yunfei's predicament. In a fit of rage, she leaped into the air, her Qinggang sword bursting with countless rays of light, unleashing a rain of starlight swords upon Yisuo. Yisuo could only hastily parry Murong Feixue's attacks, and the sounds of clashing weapons filled the air.

At this moment, Yineng and Yigu rushed to help Yisuo, and the five of them engaged in a fierce battle.

Murong Feixue swung her sword in mid-air, her grip tightening, and a burst of light erupted, unleashing countless starlight swords that prevented the three Yi brothers from advancing. However, this move greatly depleted Murong Feixue's inner strength, and coupled with her already weakened state after several fierce battles, Bai Yunfei offered little assistance. Furthermore, one of Bai Yunfei's sleeves was torn off, exposing most of her arm, leaving her with no will to fight. Murong Feixue secretly lamented, unable to think of a good way to defeat the three Yi brothers.

Because of the excessive consumption of internal energy, Murong Feixue felt increasingly strained. Yi Neng, noticing this, secretly took out a handful of poisoned plum blossom needles, fanned them out in his hand, and then, taking advantage of Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei's unpreparedness, suddenly launched them. Seven cold stars shot out.

Murong Feixue cried out, "Watch out for hidden weapons!"

As she spoke, Murong Feixue instinctively swung her sword to block. Instantly, the dazzling sword light intertwined under a fan-shaped light shield, and then the six hidden weapons that Yi Neng had shot fell to the ground. Only one hit Bai Yunfei's shoulder. This was because Bai Yunfei was not skilled in swordsmanship and was in a panic. After being hit by the hidden weapon, she only felt a numbness in her shoulder and immediately knew that something was wrong.

At this moment, seeing Bai Yunfei struck by a hidden weapon, Murong Feixue knew the situation was extremely unfavorable. Gritting her teeth, she exhausted her inner strength, and the cold light of her steel sword intensified, transforming into a beam of light that illuminated everyone and everything in the night, as clearly as day, swift, sharp, and unstoppable.

Suddenly, countless purple lightning bolts erupted from the rain of swords, intricately enveloping Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei within a purple halo. Within the halo, purple lightning crackled incessantly, accompanied by faint rumbles of thunder. This was the Lishan Holy Mother's ultimate technique, the "Five Directions Divine Sparrow Formation." Now, Murong Feixue was combining this powerful attack, "Heavenly Lightning Net," with the formation. While its power was immense, she would inevitably suffer severe internal injuries due to the exhaustion of her spiritual energy.

This tactic proved highly effective. The Yi brothers were struggling to cope, and Yineng's arms were both wounded by the sword light. Seeing their formidable opponents and knowing that the main force had already retreated, they feared further complications if they continued fighting. After exchanging glances, Yigu dropped a fireball as cover, and they fled.

Murong Feixue breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring her own injuries, and turned to Bai Yunfei, asking, "Yunfei, how are you?"

Bai Yunfei's lips were blue, and she remained silent. Murong Feixue quickly helped her to a secluded spot by the roadside and found a poisoned needle embedded in her shoulder. The area where the needle touched her skin had turned bluish-purple, and judging from Bai Yunfei's condition, the poison was extremely potent.

Murong Feixue removed the needle, hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and began sucking the poison from the wound.

Bai Yunfei, still conscious, said, "Sister-in-law, this is very dangerous! The poison on this needle is extraordinary..."

Murong Feixue simply nodded and continued her work until Bai Yunfei's wound bled profusely from her sucking. Only then did she stop, wipe the sweat from her brow, and sit down cross-legged. While healing herself, she said, "Yunfei, the poison you've been afflicted with is extremely potent. Let's rest for a while before we leave."

At this moment, Bai Yunfei also sat cross-legged and began using the Eight Gates Life-Extending Technique to heal herself.

Yelü Changting awoke from a beautiful dream, only to find herself naked in the arms of a naked man—the very man she hated so much, Liu Lang. She saw Liu Lang's wicked smile as he leered at her, and the events of the past flashed back into her mind, causing her to blush with shame. She realized how much she had desired Liu Lang's advances; it was all this lecherous villain's fault, taking away her sixteen years of virginity. Despite her thoughts, her strength hadn't fully recovered, and the pleasure seemed to return with the memories.

Liu Lang knew Yelü Changting's current thoughts; she must both love and hate him. So he pulled Yelü Changting into his arms and said, "Princess, now that things are fait accompli, and you were the one who asked me to do this, you should think carefully about whether we'll be friends or enemies from now on."

Yelü Changting angrily retorted, "You shameless little thief! You took my body and... and you deliberately humiliated me! I'll see how I tear you to pieces!"

Liu Lang said unhappily, "How can you say that? I meant well. If I didn't help you, wouldn't you be heartbroken?"

As he spoke, Liu Lang kissed Yelü Changting on the cheek again.

At this moment, Yelü Changting's hands were bound, and she couldn't resist at all. Although she hated Liu Lang to the bone, a subtle change occurred in her heart. For a Khitan woman, once her body was possessed by a man, it meant she had been conquered by that man.

At first, Yelü Changting couldn't accept Liu Lang's method of conquest, even telling herself she would seek revenge afterward. However, having grown up in the debauched Qi Prince's mansion, Yelü Changting had long yearned for intimacy. But because of her arrogant nature, the skilled outlaws around her were all afraid of her, let alone harboring any improper thoughts. This subtly limited the growth of her desires.

Among the men Yelü Changting knew, only her father dared to raise his voice at her, and only Liu Lang dared to violate her. Perhaps Yelü Changting had been eagerly awaiting this violation.

Liu Lang understood women's psychology at this time very well. Knowing it was time to confess his feelings, he said, "Princess, logically speaking, we are enemies of our two nations, and I shouldn't spare your life. But to be honest, I've always been gentle and chivalrous, and I can't bear to see such a delicate beauty like you left to rot in the wilderness. Why don't you call me 'my dear husband,' and I'll let you go. Perhaps we can rekindle our romance someday."

Yelü Changting blushed upon hearing this, spat, and said, "Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than have you..."

Liu Lang knew Yelü Changting was shy, so he pulled her onto his lap and laughed, "Even if you don't agree, you still don't want me..." "It's alright, I haven't suffered any losses anyway. Especially when the two armies meet again on the battlefield, I'll tell everyone about us in front of thousands of soldiers from both sides. If I say that you are already my woman, I doubt anyone will disbelieve me. And if this gets to Emperor Muzong of Liao's ears, your father, who is a prince, will probably be in trouble too."

Yelü Changting was startled by these words. She knew that her father was currently racking his brains over the succession, and his struggle with Prince Jing and Prince Zhao for the throne was almost to the point of bloodshed. If word got out that she had an affair with the Yang family generals of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Muzong of Liao was known for his cruelty, the consequences were unimaginable.

Yelü Changting's subtle inner turmoil was evident on her face, and Liu Lang, adept at reading people, naturally knew that his words had worked. He continued, "To be honest, I really don't want to see our two countries at war, fighting to the death over a few worthless places, causing millions of people to be displaced. Wouldn't it be better if we could live in harmony? If you're willing, after your father becomes emperor, I'll go to the Liao Kingdom to propose marriage. Then you can pretend to be unwilling, decline, and then declare that you're willing to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty for the sake of the people. This way, you can both demonstrate your great benevolence and righteousness to the world and gain a suitable husband. It's truly a win-win situation!"

Yelü Changting's heart stirred, and she was about to agree when she suddenly felt a chill. She thought to herself, "This little rascal is really wicked. He's clearly trying to deceive me by all means. I mustn't fall for his tricks. But I really don't know what to do!"

As Liu Lang persuaded Yelü Changting, he kept caressing her, leaving Yelü Changting's mind completely blank.

Seeing Yelü Changting gazing at him intently, her fair cheeks flushed, her expression a mixture of shyness and joy, her beauty captivating Liu Lang, he was momentarily mesmerized. He caressed Yelü Changting's entire body and kissed her, asking, "Do you agree to let me be your husband?"

Yelü Changting replied shyly, "Then let me go first!"

Liu Lang was taken aback, thinking: This little girl's temper is unpredictable. If I let her go, what if she harms me? Then he thought: But she has already lost her virginity to me. She will either be devoted to me from now on or hate me to the core. Judging from her expression, shyness accounts for most of it, so she probably won't cause me much harm. Besides, I now have divine protection; even if she wanted to harm me, she probably wouldn't have the ability.

Thinking of this, Liu Lang smiled and untied the ropes binding Yelü Changting's hands, but instead of letting go, he wrapped his arms around her waist and thrust his hard dragon spear inside again.

Yelü Changting's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her large, watery eyes glaring at Liu Lang, and she said, "You little thief, you're really despicable! You've done it again..."

Liu Lang said, "Princess, will you agree to be my wife or not? If you don't agree, I'll rape you until you do."

These shameless words, ironically, pleased Yelü Changting. For many years, she had always been high and mighty, but for some reason, she enjoyed being treated so roughly.

Yelü Changting said without backing down, "You little scoundrel, this princess simply doesn't agree. Go ahead and kill me if you dare..."

As she spoke, Yelü Changting's pretty face turned as red as the evening glow, and her hands gripped Liu Lang's shoulders tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

Liu Lang was secretly delighted, thinking, "So she's a woman who enjoys being humiliated. I never expected to be so lucky, to unexpectedly acquire such a woman. The effects of the drug on this princess probably haven't worn off yet; she's probably just waiting for me to have my way with her. I'll fuck you to death, you little brat!"

Liu Lang was incredibly excited, holding Yelü Changting tightly.

At that moment, Liu Lang could feel a surge of heat coursing through his body, and his mind began to flutter. Yelü Changting, in his arms, also felt a surge of desire, but being inexperienced, she only had a superficial understanding of lovemaking and remained still, nestled against Liu Lang like a little bird, enduring his wild movements.

Liu Lang found Yelü Changting's body soft and tender, causing him to involuntarily hold her even tighter. Their emotions erupted like a volcanic eruption.

At this moment, Yelü Changting felt utterly exhausted and weak. Finally, she leaned against Liu Lang, her high breasts pressed tightly against his chest in his embrace. This pressure unexpectedly gave her an indescribable pleasure, like an itch that needs constant rubbing, causing her to writhe like a snake. Alluring moans escaped from Yelü Changting's nose, making Liu Lang's blood boil. He felt her body growing hotter and hotter. Liu Lang suddenly held Yelü Changting tightly and released himself. Yelü

Changting groaned, then clung tightly to Liu Lang, her limbs wrapped around his body.

Liu Lang collapsed, exhausted. Yelü Changting, following his movement, lay on top of him, mocking, "Little thief, have you given up?"

Seeing Yelü Changting drenched in sweat, her cascading hair flying wildly, beads of sweat covering her skin, her body flushed a vibrant crimson, and her eyes alluring, Liu Lang was horrified: "Damn! She's so powerful. If I don't put in some effort, I probably won't be able to subdue this little mare!"

Yelü Changting changed his tune, saying, "Little thief, if you surrender to the Liao Dynasty, I'll have my father bestow upon you the title of Grand General, and you can manage the Southern Court of the Liao Dynasty with me."

Liu Lang smiled slightly and said, "No need. The Song Emperor values me highly right now, and I don't want to betray my country and surrender to the enemy for the time being."

Yelü Changting pouted and said, "You're so heartless! You just had your fun with me, and you're already going back on your word!" Liu

Lang asked in surprise, "When did I go back on my word?"

Yelü Changting blushed and said, "Just now, you clearly asked me to be your wife!"

Yelü Changting's voice was so low it was almost a mosquito's buzz, but Liu Lang heard it all and couldn't help but laugh, "So, you've agreed?"

Yelü Changting said, "You're so mean! You knew all along, but you still had to ask me."

Liu Lang was in Yelü... Changting kissed him on the cheek and said seriously, "I am now an imperial envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, escorting Princess Zhaoyang to marry the second son of Cheng Shijie, the Marquis of Taiyuan in Shanxi. Why are you causing trouble halfway there?"

Yelü Changting snorted and said, "I know you are taking Princess Zhaoyang to Shanxi to marry Cheng Shijie's second son. Our Great Liao does not want Cheng Shijie to be friendly with the court, so of course we have to stop you."

Liulang laughed, "In the end, you didn't stop him, but I caught him instead."

Yelü Changting said unconvinced, "I was careless! It's all your fault for shamelessly bumping into me. If I wanted to use the Honglong Lasso to trap you, I would have trapped myself too. You little thief, you're disgusting. I don't want to be trapped with you."

Liulang thought to himself, amused: Aren't we trapped together now? Thinking of this, Liu Lang slammed into Yelü Changting again, eliciting a soft moan from her: "You naughty little thief, what are you trying to do now?"

Liu Lang's face hardened with malice: "Didn't I just say I wanted you dead? But you came back to life. If I don't kill you today, how can I be your husband in the future?"

With that, Liu Lang pinned Yelü Changting down and began his third powerful conquest...

Pan Feng, Bai Xuefei, and Zi Ruo'er had been waiting for Liu Lang to return, but there was still no news until late into the night.

Bai Xuefei was worried about Liu Lang, Murong Feixue, and Bai Yunfei. After discussing it with Zi Ruo'er for a while, she decided to go out and look for them. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate, she encountered Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei, who had returned injured, and helped them upstairs.

When Zi Ruo'er saw that Murong Feixue was injured, she asked her why and was shocked. "Senior Sister, overdrawing your primordial spirit is a major taboo for cultivators. How could you do this?"

Bai Yunfei said sadly, "Sister-in-law did this to save me..."

Murong Feixue smiled and said, "We're all family, so let's not be so formal. Anyone would have done the same..."

As she spoke, Murong Feixue coughed a few times, and her face became increasingly pale.

Seeing this, Zi Ruo'er quickly helped Murong Feixue sit down on the bed, channeling her inner energy into her while asking, "Where is Liu Lang?"

Bai Yunfei replied, "My sister-in-law and I chased after him, but we haven't seen him. We wanted to find Liu Lang, but we both got injured."

Bai Xuefei then noticed the hidden weapon on Bai Yunfei's bare shoulder and quickly asked, "Sister, was the weapon poisoned?"

Bai Yunfei nodded and said, "My sister-in-law has already treated it; my injury is not serious. Should we send someone to look for Liu Lang?"

Murong Feixue nodded and said, "Although my injury is not light, fortunately I have already cultivated the eighth primordial spirit, so I am not in danger. However, I need to rest for a while. With Zi Ruo'er's help..." "Just take care of me, Yunfei! Go back and rest well. You have the Eight Life-Extending Techniques; you should be able to handle the poison. Have Xuefei take some people out to find Liulang, and also send more people to guard the princess's safety."

Pan Feng said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. You must take care of your injuries!"

Bai Xuefei asked in confusion, "The princess is now of noble birth, so why does she call Murong Feixue 'sister-in-law' like us?"

Pan Feng quickly explained, "Our Pan and Yang families have always had a good relationship. I respectfully call Lord Yang 'uncle,' so what's wrong with calling Murong Feixue 'sister-in-law'?"

Fortunately, Bai Xuefei and the others didn't take Pan Feng's words to heart. Pan Feng was relieved and quickly slipped back to her room.

An hour later, Liulang returned with Bai Xuefei.

Upon learning of Murong Feixue and Bai Yunfei's injuries, Liu Lang rushed to visit them. Seeing Murong Feixue's pale face, Liu Lang said with heartache, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry you've suffered. It's all my fault for not protecting you in time."

Murong Feixue, while cultivating her inner energy, said, "Liu Lang, it's good that you're safe and sound. Don't worry about me. I'll recover in a few days."

After saying this, Murong Feixue closed her eyes and began to meditate.

Liu Lang dared not disturb Murong Feixue's recovery any longer, so he left the room, instructing Zi Ruo'er to take good care of Murong Feixue. He then went to Bai Yunfei's room to check on her injuries.

Seeing the wound on Bai Yunfei's shoulder, Liu Lang cursed, "Which bastard dared to bully you like that?"

Bai Yunfei, with tears in her eyes, said aggrievedly, "Liu Lang, it was those three scoundrels. They were absolutely wicked; they tore my clothes. If it weren't for my sister-in-law saving me, I would have been humiliated."

Liu Lang cursed again, "Next time you see them, point them out to me, and I'll definitely stand up for you!"

Bai Yunfei said sweetly, "Liu Lang, you're so good!"

Bai Xuefei found it nauseating, chuckled softly, and turned her back.

Liu Lang then asked Bai Yunfei, "Is your injury still serious? Do you need my help?"

Liu Lang intended to be polite, but Bai Yunfei replied sweetly, "Liu Lang, the poison in my body hasn't been cured yet. If it weren't for worrying about your safety, I wouldn't have suffered this injury. Aren't you going to abandon me?"

Seeing the alluring light in Bai Yunfei's bright eyes, Liu Lang felt a surge of desire. Although he had already expended considerable effort on Yelü Changting, he was still young and vigorous, and protected by his divine essence. He couldn't let Bai Yunfei down, especially since the poison in her body was indeed potent and she desperately needed his help.

Bai Xuefei stood up and said, "Liu Lang, you stay and help me heal. I'm going on patrol."

Bai Xuefei was about to leave when Liu Lang grabbed her, saying, "Why patrol? Those enemies have all been driven away! I promise they won't bother us again tonight. Go to sleep peacefully."

With that, Liu Lang swept Bai Xuefei up in his arms, threw her onto the bed, blew out the candle, and pounced on the bed.

After some playful banter, Liu Lang and his two companions became intimate. Liu Lang, seemingly tireless, embraced Bai Yunfei and her sister for a passionate encounter, finally ejaculating inside Bai Yunfei to help her enhance her internal energy.

Exhausted, Liu Lang fell into a deep sleep, while Bai Xuefei used the Eight Gates Life-Sustaining Technique to cleanse Bai Yunfei of any remaining poison.

Having received Liu Lang's internal energy, Bai Yunfei felt much more energetic and wanted to wake him for another round, but Bai Xuefei stopped her, saying, "Sister, didn't Liu Lang say he had already defeated the enemy? Seeing how he's crying, he must have gone through a fierce battle. Let him rest!"

Chapter Eight: Woniu Pass.

The next day, the group set off for Woniu Pass.

Liu Lang woke up early and said to Pan Feng, "My sister-in-law has suffered internal injuries. Can she ride in your carriage?"

Pan Feng replied, "Of course."

Liu Lang said, "Then get off and ride a horse, and relax a bit."

Pan Feng reluctantly replied, "This carriage is quite spacious, why do I need to ride a horse?"

Liu Lang said, "I need to heal my sister-in-law's injuries. No disturbances are allowed during this time, otherwise she'll suffer a qi deviation."

Pan Feng, having practiced martial arts for several years, naturally knew the consequences of qi deviation and asked worriedly, "Is my sister-in-law's injury that serious?"

Liu Lang nodded, sighed, and said, "Once we reach Taiyuan, we'll all be relying on my sister-in-law, so I'm urging her to recover quickly."

Pan Feng agreed and rode Liu Lang's yellow horse, with Pan Bao following behind. They, along with Bai Yunfei, Bai Xuefei, and Zi Ruo'er, led the way.

Liu Lang instructed the troops not to rush, as long as they reached Woniu Pass before sunset, and then helped Murong Feixue into the carriage.

Murong Feixue still had some concerns, after all, this carriage was for the imperial use, and its interior was lavishly decorated. After settling in, Murong Feixue said, "Sixth Brother, is this alright? If someone reports to the Emperor that I'm riding in this carriage, we'll be committing the crime of deceiving the Emperor!"

Sixth Brother laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Anyone who dares to say a word, I'll skin them alive. What is the Emperor compared to you? Just sit here without worry. If you'd like, you can ride all the way to Taiyuan."

Murong Feixue smiled and said, " "I absolutely dare not," Liu Lang said. "You must know we are imperial envoys, and my injury will heal with proper care."

He then asked, "How long will that take?"

Murong Feixue frowned and said, "This..."

Liu Lang said anxiously, "How long exactly? Sister-in-law, Taiyuan Prefecture is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair; we're all counting on you!"

Murong Feixue sighed, "Perhaps two or three days, perhaps ten or more days."

Liu Lang grabbed Murong Feixue's wrist and said, "That won't do! Sister-in-law, for everyone's lives..." "I want to cultivate our primordial spirits together..."

Murong Feixue was startled by this, her face flushed red. "Sixth Brother, don't scare me! What kind of occasion is this? I dare not..."

Sixth Brother, however, had already embraced Murong Feixue and said, "I have no other choice. Besides, you, Sister-in-law, should know your injuries better. This is the only way now. No one will dare to disturb us."

Murong Feixue shook her head and said, "No! How about we wait until we reach Woniu Pass..."

Sixth Brother said, "The general guarding Woniu Pass is Cheng Shijie's brother-in-law. He is ruthless. Something unexpected might happen after we reach Woniu Pass. What happened last night was because we didn't expect it. Now, Sister-in-law, you must take on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the entire army."

Murong Feixue blushed upon hearing this, not knowing how to refuse Sixth Brother. Moreover, the thought of so many people guarding the carriage outside—guards, eunuchs, and palace maids—and her having to do that kind of thing with Sixth Brother here, even though it was out of necessity and for the safety of the entire army, was still too shameful.

Seeing a blush creeping onto Murong Feixue's cheeks, her eyes glistening with tears, and her shoulders trembling, Liu Lang kissed her on the cheek and said, "Sister-in-law, we shouldn't be shy, we should seize the moment."

Murong Feixue whispered, "We shouldn't be like this, but I... I can't do it."

As she spoke, Murong Feixue looked up, tears clinging to her long eyelashes. As her eyelashes trembled slightly, the glistening tears welled up in her eyes, for she was about to do something shameful.

Liu Lang embraced Murong Feixue with tenderness, then kissed her eyes.

Murong Feixue's tears stained Liu Lang's face, and he could taste the saltiness. Murong Feixue could only helplessly tilt her head back, forced to press tightly against Liu Lang's body, her lips slightly parted.

Murong Feixue nestled against Liu Lang, her shoulders trembling slightly, her palms sweaty as she stroked his strong, broad back.

Liu Lang buried his face in Murong Feixue's neck and kept sucking on it. Whenever her body trembled more violently, her breathing became rapid. Liu Lang could feel the heat of Murong Feixue's body and the violent beating of her heart.

Murong Feixue's voice was like a dream as she said, "Sixth Brother, I have a strange feeling in my heart. I never thought I would become like this. Am I a lewd woman?"

At this moment, Sixth Brother had already taken off Murong Feixue's top, put his hand around her back, and stroked her smooth and soft back, saying, "Sister-in-law, you are the kindest woman in the world. If you didn't care about my life and death, how could you have had that kind of relationship with me? This is not your fault or mine." "

Sister-in-law, you shouldn't bury your youth. Having a child is your right as a woman. No one can take it away from you. What you are doing is not infidelity, but redemption for your life."

Murong Feixue didn't say anything more, but just breathed heavily, tears streaming down her face. Every time she was with Sixth Brother, she felt guilty, but that guilt was gradually decreasing. She had even found a reason to be intimate with Sixth Brother, which was that she couldn't let anyone take away her right to become a mother.

Liu Lang removed Murong Feixue's moon-white bodice, causing her to groan involuntarily. Her body leaned back weakly, and Liu Lang grasped her breasts.

Murong Feixue's eyes were tightly closed, and her moans aroused Liu Lang, who began kissing her high, firm breasts, causing her body to sway slightly.

Liu Lang's subsequent actions progressed from gentle to rough.

Afterward, Liu Lang leaned down and kissed Murong Feixue, causing her delicate body to tremble even more violently. She released her hands from her face and then tightly embraced Liu Lang.

Liu Lang asked softly, "Sister-in-law, how much of my power did I lose to you this time?"

Murong Feixue replied shyly, "At the Seven Star Tower, I gained almost the equivalent of what I would have accumulated in three or four years, but it gradually decreased afterward! However, this time, I think the recovery time will be faster."

Liu Lang asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Murong Feixue smiled gently, "It's because my power has increased. Also, Liu Lang, don't always think about pleasure with me; you should cooperate with me in practicing your cultivation!"

Liu Lang scratched his head, saying embarrassedly, "This dual cultivation requires incantations; I'll definitely cooperate with you next time."

Next, Liu Lang and Murong Feixue began to concentrate on cultivating their spirits. Although they used the position of male-female intercourse, Liu Lang followed Murong Feixue's instructions, circulating their energy to merge their primordial spirits together. It was a wondrous feeling, indescribable in words.

Throughout the morning, Liu Lang was immersed in this extreme pleasure.

As noon approached, Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun came to report from outside the carriage: "Reporting to Your Excellency, it's almost noon. We would like to ask if you would like to eat here, or wait until we reach Woniu Pass?"

Liu Lang leaned out of the carriage window, lifted the curtain, and asked, "How far is it to Woniu Pass?"

Li Tongshun replied, "One hundred and forty li!"

Liu Lang said, "It's only a two or three-hour journey! Tell everyone to be patient and eat at Woniu Pass. Also, I'm practicing my martial arts right now, so keep an eye on me and don't let anyone disturb me."

Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun obeyed.

At this moment, Murong Feixue, hiding inside the carriage, thought about doing *that* with Liu Lang, separated only by a curtain—it was truly shameful!

Liu Lang turned and hugged Murong Feixue again, saying, "Sister-in-law, there are still two hours left, let's hurry!"

Murong Feixue said shyly, "Liulang, I've almost recovered..."

Liu Lang exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful! Then I don't have to consider any other factors anymore!"

Murong Feixue asked softly, "Liu Lang, do you want more?"

Liu Lang replied, "I've spent the whole morning practicing with you, sister-in-law should repay me!"

With that, Liu Lang leaned back, placing the shy Murong Feixue on top of him. Murong Feixue immediately realized Liu Lang's intention and shyly covered her eyes with her hands.

Murong Feixue's hips swayed even more violently, and her movements gave Liu Lang an indescribable pleasure. The two of them let out joyful cries, the kind of pleasure that every mature person craves, the kind of pleasure that comes from human nature.

The carriage continued to speed forward, and Liu Lang and Murong Feixue continued their tireless movements inside the carriage. Finally, Liu Lang felt Murong Feixue's body suddenly stop moving, and in that instant, Liu Lang felt an unusual heat, an unusual tightness, an unusual sucking sensation. These sensations intertwined into an unparalleled pleasure, like an electric shock that swept through Liu Lang's entire body.

Liu Lang watched as Murong Feixue leaned over him, gazing at him tenderly. Her lips parted slightly as she whispered, "Liu Lang, I love you!"

Though her voice was soft, Liu Lang heard her clearly. Startled, he looked at Murong Feixue, nodding happily, and said, "Sister-in-law, I love you too!"

Then, they shared another passionate kiss.

Murong Feixue buried her face in Liu Lang's chest, their bodies almost touching. She then raised her arm and brushed her hair aside.

Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Lang dressed and looked into Murong Feixue's slightly misty eyes, stroking her long, black hair.

Murong Feixue gazed at Liu Lang, her face slightly flushed, but her eyes unwavering, and said, "Liu Lang, I've fallen in love with you!"

At this moment, a large entourage arrived at Woniu Pass. Qin Dongyang had already received reports from his scouts, and Cheng Shijie was aware of Zhao Guangyi's plan to send Princess Zhaoyang to marry him.

Qin Dongyang consulted Cheng Shijie, who instructed him to closely monitor Liu Lang's group's movements and find an opportunity to test the sincerity of the Song Dynasty court. Qin Dongyang then led his two wives and officials out of the city to greet them.

Pan Feng had already returned to the carriage, and Liu Lang brought Qin Dongyang to pay his respects to her, informing Qin Dongyang that they hadn't had lunch yet.

Upon hearing this, Qin Dongyang immediately ordered the imperial envoy's entourage to be welcomed into the city and arranged two inns to accommodate the soldiers. He then insisted on inviting Liu Lang and Pan Feng to his residence.

Liu Lang invited Pan Feng to Qin Dongyang's mansion, along with Murong Feixue, Zi Ruo'er, Bai Yunfei, Bai Xuefei, Pan Bao, Zhang Guangbei, and Li Tongshun.

Qin Dongyang's mansion was very grand. After entering the gate, Liu Lang and his party saw flowerbeds on both sides filled with rare and exotic flowers unseen in the Central Plains, their fragrance filling the air.

When Liu Lang and his entourage entered the hall, although it was not yet dark, the hall was already brightly lit, as if it were daytime. The hall was resplendent in gold and jade. After Pan Feng took her seat, Liu Lang and Qin Dongyang sat on opposite sides, with Liu Lang's men on the left and Qin Dongyang's two wives and a group of civil and military officials on the right.

Soon, a sumptuous feast was laid out on the table. Liu Lang and his party were already very hungry, so they ate heartily without any hesitation.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Qin Dongyang inquired about Liu Lang's journey.

Upon hearing that Liu Lang had been assassinated by the Liao Kingdom's Flying Eagle Hall halfway through the journey, Qin Dongyang feigned surprise, saying, "Such a thing happened? The Liao are truly audacious and overconfident! Fortunately, Your Excellency, you are capable and managed to drive the thieves away. Otherwise, if Princess Zhaoyang had suffered any mishap on my territory, I would not have been able to bear the responsibility!"

Liu Lang laughed heartily, "General Qin, you flatter me. How can I compare to your extensive battlefield experience! In any case, escorting the princess safely is everyone's duty! Besides, the princess has already reached Woniu Pass; you must also prepare for battle." " Give it your all!"

Qin Dongyang said. "Yes, yes, this humble general will be extremely careful and send skilled guards to strengthen the defenses to ensure the safety of the princess and the imperial envoy."

Liu Lang laughed and said, "With Lord Qin's words, I am relieved. I have long heard that the general has many skilled men under his command. Seeing them today, I am truly impressed!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang looked at Qin Dongyang's men and thought to himself: Qin Dongyang has many skilled men under his command. When I return from Taiyuan, I will inevitably have to fight him fiercely. I would better understand them so that I can know myself and my enemy! Thinking of this, Liu Lang said, "I have practiced martial arts since childhood and have always admired those masters of high martial arts. I wonder if Lord Qin could have your men show us their skills?"

Qin Dongyang nodded and said, "Of course!"

Then, Qin Dongyang said to those below, "Which one of you would like to come forward and show the Imperial Envoy his skills?"

At this moment, a gray-robed Hu monk who was over ten feet tall stood up from the seat on the right, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble monk has practiced martial arts since childhood and is invulnerable to swords and spears . I will make a fool of myself!"

After saying that, the Hu monk threw off his robe, revealing a dark and muscular body. After circulating his internal energy, two soldiers came up and wielded golden-backed ghost-head swords. They slashed wildly at his bare upper body, but the Hu monk was not injured at all.

Liu Lang clapped his hands and said, "Truly excellent skill!"

Zi Ruo'er mocked, "It's nothing more than a defensive skill practiced by an external family, nothing special."

Seeing someone mocking him, and seeing that he was just a handsome guard, the Hu monk couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He said coldly, "Young man, don't talk big. Since you say it's nothing special, then please come and try it."

Zi Ruo'er sneered, "Try it then!"

With that, Zi Ruo'er leaped towards the Hu monk and said to him, "I will also use a skill, and then you can attack me with your swords and spears. Those two, and you too, come at me all at once!"

After saying that, Zi Ruo'er put her hands together and shouted loudly. At the same time, a radiant light shone from above, and a sharp red-blue wave of energy rapidly spread outwards. It stopped after spreading out to a radius of ten feet, and then, through friction with the outside air, it emitted a layer of flame-like shell that enveloped Zi Ruo'er.

Fueled by rage, the Hu monk impatiently ordered his two soldiers to attack. They swung their broadswords fiercely at Zi Ruo'er, but the blows were like striking a stubborn rock, sending sparks flying, yet they couldn't break through her defenses.

Zi Ruo'er sneered, "Old monk, if you're not convinced, try it yourself."

Enraged, the Hu monk channeled his inner strength and unleashed a powerful, mountain-splitting palm strike at Zi Ruo'er. This external martial art might be effective against ordinary masters, but it was no match for the experts of the Cultivation Realm. Their Beacon Fire and Thunder Formation was invincible. The Hu monk unleashed three strikes in succession, but failed to harm Zi Ruo'er in the slightest. Feeling somewhat humiliated, he grabbed a golden-backed ghost-head saber from one of the soldiers and began hacking at Zi Ruo'er's crimson-blue defenses. He was panting heavily, but to no avail.

Seeing the Hu monk humiliated, another man stepped forward. This man was thin with bright, piercing eyes. He stepped forward and shouted, "I am Long Qiuping, and I wish to challenge you."

Seeing Long Qiuping's attack, the Hu monk naturally slunk away.

Zi Ruo'er, seeing this, withdrew her magic and looked at Liu Lang, awaiting his command. Liu

Lang knew all the experts under Qin Dongyang, so he instructed Zi Ruo'er, "You spar with this brother a couple of times. As long as it's a friendly exchange, we're all family; let's not ruin the harmony."

Zi Ruo'er accepted the order and turned to Long Qiuping, asking, "How shall we spar?"

Long Qiuping coldly replied, "This gentleman just used the Beacon Fire and Thunder Formation from the Cultivation Realm. His invulnerability to swords and spears is indeed impressive. However, I also have a technique that counters swords and spears. You try it and see if you can attack."

With that, Long Qiuping's body swayed, and black clouds gathered around him, suddenly rising to protect him with three giant black dragons.

Seeing this, Zi Ruo'er was shocked. She thought to herself: This is clearly the Black Dragon Triple Array of the Asura Realm. Like the Beacon Fire and Thunder Array, it is a defensive array. The difference is that the defensive array of the Asura Realm can only be cultivated after reaching the Eighth Rank of Kui Luo. It seems that Long Qiuping really came with ill intentions! He clearly knows that his cultivation is higher than mine, and he deliberately made me look bad so that Qin Dongyang could regain some face. But I can't show weakness before we even fight! Thinking of this, Zi Ruo'er gathered all her strength and unleashed the Wind, Fire and Thunder Technique. Immediately, the purplish-brown light went towards Long Qiuping, but with a "boom!"

it struck the three black dragons and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Zi Ruo'er knew she couldn't break through Long Qiuping's defenses, but she retorted defiantly, "Indeed impressive! But just because I can't break you doesn't mean I've lost. If you were fighting me, you certainly wouldn't be able to either."

Long Qiuping merely sneered. Although he knew he couldn't defeat Zi Ruo'er instantly, the outcome would become clear over time. He possessed eight Kui Luos, and even at his worst, he wouldn't lose to Zi Ruo'er, who only had seven Nascent Souls. However, this wasn't a place of life and death, especially since they were imperial envoys sent by the Emperor. Although he only obeyed Lord Qin, he still had to give them face.

Long Qiuping smiled slightly and said, "You flatter me. Let's call it a draw. Your subordinates are indeed full of hidden talents. I admire you!"

With that, Long Qiuping turned and returned to his seat.

Seeing this, Zi Ruo'er also turned and returned to her seat.

Pan Bao, watching with delight, exclaimed, "This is...this is so much fun! I'll have a go too!"

Liu Lang, knowing Pan Bao's seemingly foolish appearance belied his superhuman strength, declared, "Next round, a contest of strength! Lord Qin, choose one of your strongest men to spar with Princess Zhaoyang's brother."

Liu Lang deliberately hinted to the crowd that Pan Bao was Princess Zhaoyang's brother, warning them to be careful, or they would be committing insubordination.

Qin Dongyang, of course, understood this, and said, "Xuanyuan Shenghu! You give it a try!"

A burly man stood up, a figure Liu Lang had already noticed, standing out from the crowd. At first, Liu Lang thought he was standing, but upon closer inspection, he realized he was a giant, taller than the others even when seated.

When Xuanyuan Shenghu stood before Pan Bao, Pan Bao only reached his waist. Seeing Xuanyuan Shenghu's imposing size, Pan Bao was startled, but immediately, his small eyes darting around, he thought of the phrase "all show and no substance," and said, "Ah... I want to..."

No one could understand what he was saying, but Pan Bao reached out and grabbed Xuanyuan Shenghu's wrist, then, with a single arm, tried to lift him.

It's known that Pan Bao, in his martial arts training, could lift a stone lion weighing over 600 jin (approximately 300 kg) with one arm. He thought Xuanyuan Shenghu weighed at most 500 jin (approximately 250 kg), so he planned to simply lift him and throw him. But when Pan Bao grabbed Xuanyuan Shenghu's arm, he realized that Xuanyuan Shenghu was also incredibly strong.

Seeing Pan Bao challenging him, Xuanyuan Shenghu slowly raised his arm. Even with Pan Bao pressing down with all his might, Xuanyuan Shenghu's arm still slowly rose, and Pan Bao's body followed suit.

Seeing that he was about to make a fool of himself, Pan Bao's eyes darted around. Suddenly, he loosened his grip and gave Xuan Yuan Shenghu a push, causing him to stumble back seven or eight steps and

fall to the ground with a thud.

Pan Bao burst into laughter, while Xuan Yuan Shenghu stood up with a livid face, reaching behind him to draw a weapon—a one-legged bronze figure weighing a full 160 jin (approximately 80 kg), gleaming brightly with a dazzling yellow light under the lamp.

He strode angrily towards Pan Bao, each step seeming to shake the hearts of everyone present, his imposing presence overwhelming Pan Bao.

Pan Bao turned and returned to his seat, grabbing his large bronze cudgel. He said to Xuan Yuan Shenghu, "Don't think you can bully people just because you're big. Watch me teach you a lesson!"

With that, Pan Bao swung the cudgel at Xuan Yuan Shenghu. This blow carried the force of a thousand pounds; an ordinary person couldn't withstand it. But Xuan Yuan Shenghu didn't back down an inch. He casually raised his one-legged bronze figure and, with a "Thousand Army Charge," blocked Pan Bao's attack. The sound of metal clashing

against metal was deafening. At this moment, Liu Lang almost dropped his wine cup. He watched as Pan Bao and Xuan Yuan Shenghu clashed head-on, the clanging sounds incessant, the fight incredibly fierce.

Liu Lang observed that although Pan Bao was small, his martial arts were formidable. While he was struggling against Xuan Yuan Shenghu, he wouldn't lose within a hundred or so moves. Furthermore, he had already informed Pan Bao that he was Princess Zhaoyang's brother, so he believed Xuan Yuan Shenghu wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

At this moment, Pan Feng became restless. After all, she only saw that Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu was twice the height of Pan Bao and several times larger, and his weapon was so strange. So she worriedly said, "Don't let them fight!"

Liu Lang said, "It's alright. I think Pan Bao is very powerful, and this giant is not bad either. But we are envoys sent by the Emperor to arrange a marriage alliance, representing the honor of the Son of Heaven. How can we lose to these people? Wouldn't that be an insult to the Emperor's majesty?"

After saying that, Liu Lang looked at Qin Dongyang and smiled, "General Qin, don't you think so?"

Qin Dongyang said, "That makes sense. I think that although Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu is incredibly strong, he is still not as well-trained as General Pan. His staff technique is superb and unstoppable. It would be good if he could last forty rounds!" Xuan Yuan

Sheng Hu heard Qin Dongyang's words. Although he knew that he was implying that he should not lose face for the Imperial Envoy, he still couldn't suppress his anger. So he wielded the one-legged bronze figure and danced with the force of a whirlwind, extremely powerful.

Before long, Pan Bao and Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu had exchanged thirty or forty blows. Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu, with his greater strength, gradually gained the upper hand, causing Pan Bao to show signs of fatigue. However, Pan Bao was inherently competitive and eager to win. Although he was inwardly complaining, he showed no signs of exhaustion, gritting his teeth and relentlessly striking with his staff, trying his best not to be at a disadvantage.

Liu Lang, displeased by this, stood up and said, "This big oaf, he really doesn't know what's good for him! General Pan Bao was clearly letting you win, yet you still don't appreciate it! It's infuriating!"

With that, Liu Lang unleashed the Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning Technique with all his might. Because Liu Lang possessed the essence of the Bright Spirit, although he currently only had six primordial spirits and knew only this one move, the effect of his technique was far superior to Zi Ruo'er's.

Just then, Pan Bao struck Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu with his staff, but Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu raised his one-horned bronze figure to block. Immediately afterward, Liu Lang's attack struck Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu.

Xuanyuan Shenghu was a master of the Asura Realm, protected by seven Kui Luos. However, he was caught off guard by Liu Lang's attack. The attack was so powerful that he could hardly defend against it. Even though he had assumed a fighting stance, without the Black Dragon Triple Formation, he couldn't withstand it. Xuanyuan Shenghu cried out "Ouch!" and was thrown several feet away, his weapon falling from his hand.

Liu Lang hadn't expected him to be so powerful, that he had actually defeated Xuanyuan Shenghu. However, 60% of the reason was due to the timing of his sneak attack. Nevertheless, the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique he used was indeed incredibly powerful, leaving everyone present speechless. Even Murong Feixue hadn't expected Liu Lang to possess such formidable attack power. But as Liu Lang and Murong Feixue practiced together multiple times, Murong Feixue's power increased, and Liu Lang's power also increased accordingly.

Liu Lang was afraid that Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu would turn around and fight him to the death. Besides, he really wasn't confident he could handle Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu, so he decided to quit while he was ahead

. He pretended to be angry, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Lord Qin, your men are too unruly. Farewell!" With that, Liu Lang was about to leave.

Qin Dongyang quickly stood up and ran to Liu Lang's side, grabbing him and saying, "My lord, please don't be angry. It's all my fault for not disciplining them properly."

As he spoke, Qin Dongyang turned back to Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu and scolded, "You scoundrel, get out of here!"

Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu got up from the ground and left.

Liu Lang said, "Forget it. General Qin should discipline such an ungrateful wretch in the future, so as not to trouble me to personally teach him a lesson. Let's continue drinking."

Qin Dongyang laughed and said, "That's right, I will certainly discipline him strictly."

After speaking, Qin Dongyang gestured to his two wives to come and offer wine to Liu Lang.

When Qin Dongyang's two beautiful wives came over, Liu Lang was immediately dazzled. The one holding the wine jar was Qin Dongyang's wife, Zhang Huiru. This woman was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with fair skin and a beautiful face. She wore a pure white, tight-fitting summer dress with silver embroidery. The shoulder and collar were made of semi-transparent silver gauze, and the white cloth that clung to her chest and waist made her figure look exceptionally slender. Her breasts and hips were round and about to burst out, and her eyes were watery and captivating.

Then, looking at the second wife, Lan Liu, who was carrying a tall wine cup, she appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. She wore a light green, long-sleeved dress with a sword at her waist, and her graceful steps were as alluring as a willow in a gentle breeze. Liu Lang couldn't help but stare, somewhat mesmerized, thinking: "These two wives of Qin Dongyang are far more beautiful than Sha Baofei's concubine, especially the first wife in white. She looks like she deserves to be cheated on. It seems I'll have to give Qin Dongyang two green hats sometime when I'm in a good mood."

At this moment, the two wives introduced themselves and helped Liu Lang offer a toast.

Liu Lang drank two cups in a row, and even took the opportunity to touch Hui Ru's small hand, causing Murong Feixue, who was sitting next to him, to kick him under the table.

Liu Lang immediately straightened his posture. After thanking him, seeing that it was getting late, he remembered his eavesdropping at Sha Baofei's house and decided to repeat his old trick. He took Qin Dongyang's hand and said, "General Qin, we really hit it off

immediately! As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes. I have a few words to say to you!" Qin Dongyang said, "Please speak freely, sir."

Liu Lang shook his head and said, "This is not the place to talk..."

Qin Dongyang immediately said, "Then please come to my study to talk, sir."

Liu Lang said, "I've had a headache since I was a child just looking at books. I can't stand books... " "Room."

Qin Dongyang paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Then please come with me to the inner room to talk, sir?"

Liu Lang followed Qin Dongyang to the inner room. After sitting down, Qin Dongyang was about to order tea to be prepared, but Liu Lang said, "General Qin, there's no need for formalities. I only have a few words to say. I need to go back and arrange for men to protect the princess. Before I came, Lord Pan Renmei repeatedly instructed me to pay my respects to Lord Qin when I arrived at Woniu Pass, saying that Lord Qin is not only a relative of the Marquis of Taiyuan, but also a rare 'handsome fellow'."

Liu Lang believed that Qin Dongyang would not be able to distinguish between "handsome fellow" and "talented general".

Qin Dongyang laughed and said, "I dare not, I dare not. What merit do I have to deserve Lord Pan's appreciation?"

Liu Lang continued, "This Princess Zhaoyang is Lord Pan's beloved daughter. Once she marries the son of the Marquis of Taiyuan, she will be your family, and according to seniority, she will have to call you uncle."

Qin Dongyang quickly replied, "No matter what, Miss Pan is the Princess Zhaoyang, bestowed by the Emperor. How could I presume to elevate myself? The proper etiquette between ruler and subject is still necessary."

Liu Lang praised, "General Qin is truly a loyal and patriotic 'pickled vegetable.' I just don't believe that someone as loyal and patriotic as you would say that you and the Marquis of Taiyuan are plotting a rebellion..."

Qin Dongyang exclaimed in surprise, "Who said that?"

Liu Lang sighed, "Grand Tutor Wang Ze, this fellow, relying on being the father-in-law of Emperor Taizu of Song, often acts arrogantly because of his age. Originally, Lord Pan petitioned the Emperor, saying that the Liao Dynasty is now eyeing us covetously..." In the Central Plains, the Marquis of Taiyuan bears the heavy responsibility of defending the Yanmen Pass line, which must be a huge expense. He petitioned the Emperor to have me bring the 600,000 taels of military pay originally intended for Shanxi…”

Qin Dongyang asked excitedly, “Then, General Yang, could you bring it?”

Liu Lang sighed, “If it weren’t for Grand Tutor Wang Ze’s reckless obstruction, I would have brought it. Besides, if I had brought this military pay for Shanxi, the Marquis of Taiyuan would certainly have rewarded us. Now, it’s all my fault for feeding so many people, and the money I took from the capital was used up as soon as we left Feihu City.”

Qin Dongyang slammed his fist on the table in anger, saying, “That old scoundrel Wang Ze is a real bastard! He actually spoke ill of me behind my back! Even if we rebel and march on Bianjing, the first person we’ll kill is that old scoundrel!”

After saying this, Qin Dongyang realized he had spoken inappropriately and changed his words, saying, “I am…” "Don't take this seriously, General Yang!"

Liu Lang said. "Who says otherwise? You should know my father, Lord Yang. That old scoundrel even submitted a memorial to the emperor, accusing my father of embezzlement and bribery, and of hoarding mountains of gold and silver. Alas! What a ridiculous joke! My family still only has a dozen or so mud houses, and only five or six family members."

Qin Dongyang said angrily, "Back then, I served in the same court as Lord Yang. Everyone in the court knew of Lord Yang's integrity. I never imagined that old scoundrel Wang Ze would be so shameless..."

Liu Lang continued, "What I mean is, some people in the court are speaking ill of you and the Marquis of Taiyuan. You'd better be prepared, lest you suffer in silence."

Qin Dongyang quickly thanked him, "I'm truly grateful to General Yang. I have some travel expenses here, but it's just a small token of my appreciation..."

Liu Lang stopped him, saying, "General, you're too kind ." "No, I didn't mean that. I'm practically half Shanxi myself, and having lived in the Central Plains for so long, I really miss Shanxi's local delicacies. So tomorrow morning, I'll come to the General's mansion again, just to have an authentic Shanxi breakfast. What do you say?"

Qin Dongyang said, "Of course, that's no problem. Tomorrow morning, I'll host a banquet here for you, sir. I wonder if you're coming alone, or..."

Liu Lang said, "Just me. We also need to discuss how to deal with Wang Ze. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave. See you tomorrow!"

Before leaving Qin Dongyang's inner room, Liu Lang secretly planted a listening device under the table while Qin Dongyang wasn't looking. He then returned to the front hall to say he was leaving, and escorted Pan Feng back to the inn. Qin Dongyang then dispatched an additional hundred soldiers as guards to patrol the area around the inn.

After arriving at the inn and arranging for Pan Feng to sleep, Liu Lang wondered: Who should accompany me on my mission tonight?

After much deliberation, Liu Lang felt he hadn't been close to Zi Ruoer these past few days and should reward her. So, before Murong Feixue and Zi Ruoer had gone to bed, he asked Zi Ruoer to accompany him on an errand.

Zi Ruoer, unaware of Liu Lang's ulterior motives, immediately agreed. Murong Feixue, however, knew perfectly well what was going on but couldn't stop him, thinking: "Liu Lang has been spending time with me or the Bai Xuefei sisters these past few days; he really should treat Zi Ruoer better."

Liu Lang led Zi Ruoer away from the inn, and they hadn't gone far when they encountered Qin Dongyang's men.

In the stillness of the night, the moonlight illuminated the countless bricks and tiles. The men patrolled silently in pairs, each with a scabbard-sheathed military saber at their waist, the blades carved in the shape of tigers. They were Qin Dongyang's most elite Tiger Wing Squad, and the leader was Long Qiuping, who had previously sparred with Zi Ruoer.

Under the moonlight, Long Qiuping's weathered face, around forty years old, bowed respectfully upon seeing Liu Lang.

Liu Lang praised him, saying, "I was just worried about the security, so I came out for a stroll. General Long, you must be careful and not frighten the princess."

Long Qiuping repeatedly agreed, adding, "Lord Yang's skills are truly extraordinary. I've had my eyes opened today. Even with thirty years of training, I wouldn't dare say I could defeat Xuan Yuan Shenghu in one blow, yet you did it so easily... I truly admire you!" Liu Lang smiled slightly and said

, "If I didn't have some skill, would His Majesty have entrusted me with this mission?"

After saying this, Liu Lang left with Zi Ruo'er, bypassing Qin Dongyang's men, and turned onto a main street. They arrived at the street behind Qin Dongyang's residence, where they saw an inconspicuous inn facing Qin Dongyang's backyard.

Liu Lang looked back to see no one, then entered the inn with Zi Ruo'er and asked for a room.

Chai Ruoer had no idea what Liu Lang was up to. After sitting down, she stared blankly at him.

Liu Lang took off his coat, stepped forward, and hugged Zi Ruoer, saying, "Zi Ruoer, you've been so busy with important matters these past few days. Have you missed me?"

Zi Ruoer said shyly, "Liu Lang, did you ask me to come out with you just to talk about love?"

Liu Lang said, "Of course not! Tonight we need to keep a close watch on Qin Dongyang's movements. You know, this guy is Cheng Shijie's brother-in-law, and we'll fall out with him sooner or later. So I need to prepare in advance. This is called knowing your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated!"

Zi Ruo'er smiled bitterly, "Liu Lang, you still remember to avenge me."

Liu Lang said righteously, "Of course! You are my wife, your revenge is my revenge. But Consort Yun and Consort Xue are good to me, so don't be jealous."

Zi Ruo'er nodded, "Liu Lang, I know. As long as you help me get revenge, I'll do anything. Besides, I know they are all sincerely good to you, so why should I blame them?"

Liu Lang said happily, "Zi Ruo'er, I'm so happy that you think this way!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang grabbed Zi Ruo'er's jade hand and began to kiss her.

Meanwhile, Zi Ruo'er had drunk a few cups of wine at Qin Dongyang's residence. She, who was not good at drinking, slowly became drunk under Liu Lang's gentle caresses.

Slightly tipsy, Zi Ruo'er's face flushed. Moreover, in Liu Lang's eyes, she was already a pure and beautiful woman. Now, Liu Lang no longer held back. His tongue invaded Zi Ruo'er's mouth, and with a series of vigorous movements, it entwined with her sweet fragrance, leaving Zi Ruo'er unable to resist. She could only let Liu Lang do as he pleased within her mouth, as if he wanted to suck away all the air from her body, kissing her until her mind went blank.

At this moment, Liu Lang displayed his superb skill, his tongue greedily sucking, as if trying to draw all the saliva from Zi Ruo'er's mouth. That unprecedented feeling made Zi Ruo'er tremble involuntarily, causing her to slowly give up resisting, closing her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Then, Liu Lang knew that Zi Ruo'er was slowly beginning to enjoy the kiss, so he used his skill, sometimes gently licking, sometimes curling her little tongue with the tip of his tongue, occasionally drawing circles lightly on the tip, sometimes passionately rolling the body of his tongue. The lingering sensation made Zi Ruo'er unconsciously gasp.

Zi Ruo'er was already panting heavily. Liu Lang's tongue explored hers more carefully, from the tip to the body, top, bottom, and sides, teasing her sensitive and tender girlish desires while enjoying her sweet fragrance.

It seemed as if Liu Lang's tongue had been given life, curling around Zi Ruo'er's small tongue before probing inside, like an insect climbing a tree trunk, gently touching her lips, igniting a flame of desire within them, as if all her sensitive areas were concentrated on her mouth and tongue.

But Liu Lang's hands didn't stop. He pressed Zi Ruo'er down onto the bed, rendering her completely immobile and powerless to struggle, while simultaneously removing her clothes.

Zi Ruo'er didn't struggle at all, but cooperated with Liu Lang's actions, breathing heavily. If her mouth hadn't been tightly sealed by Liu Lang, she might have made some shameful sounds.

At this moment, Zi Ruo'er let out a sound like sobbing, showing that her desire had been aroused and was now erupting intensely under Liu Lang's teasing.

When Liu Lang reluctantly released Zi Ruo'er's lips, she began to breathe heavily, her delicate body trembling slightly in his arms, her slender hands involuntarily supporting Liu Lang.

Unconsciously, Zi Ruo'er's clothes had been removed, and Liu Lang's lips kissed her neck while caressing her skin. The feeling was so stimulating and sweet that Zi Ruo'er couldn't help but feel an urge to moan.

Although Zi Ruo'er suppressed the urge to moan, not wanting to cry out, the pleasure surging within her mingled with the burning fire in her lower abdomen, overflowing and consuming every inch of her skin. Moreover, with Liu Lang's teasing, the fire within her showed no sign of extinguishing; instead, it grew increasingly intense, surging and leaping within her, almost bursting forth from her body, making Zi Ruo'er increasingly thirsty. Lost in her thoughts, Zi Ruo'er involuntarily closed her beautiful eyes, letting Liu Lang do as he pleased, enjoying the sweet ravaging he brought.

Liu Lang's hand slid up Zi Ruo'er's fair skin, slowly caressing her smooth abdomen, embracing her soft waist, and then gently inserted himself…

Zi Ruo'er's delicate body trembled slightly, responding to Liu Lang's movements, and after a long period of thrusting, she welcomed Liu Lang's volcanic eruption with her tender body.

Liu Lang embraced Zi Ruo'er and activated the listening device he carried.

Meanwhile, inside Qin Dongyang's room, the real show was just beginning...

Liu Lang pulled Zi Ruo'er close, placing her ear near the earpiece. He heard Qin Dongyang's voice: "Hui Ru, don't do this! Come here! This general can't take it anymore."

After a series of extremely lewd breaths, a woman said, "General, do you believe what I'm saying?"

Qin Dongyang casually replied, "What is it? Can't we wait until we're done having fun?"

Zhang Hui Ru said coquettishly, "I'm going to tell you! That little slut clearly saw that Imperial Envoy's martial arts skills and got lustful. When she was helping him toast, she deliberately seduced him with her eyes. I even saw the Imperial Envoy touch her hand!"

Liu Lang was startled and said, "Damn, so insidious? She actually framed me!"

Zi Ruo'er quickly covered Liu Lang's mouth, panicking. "Sixth Brother, keep your voice down..."

Sixth Brother laughed and said, "Ruo'er, don't be afraid. We can hear them talking, but they can't hear us."

Zi Ruo'er said "Oh," and then said, "I see. So, Sixth Brother, have you been flirting with Qin Dongyang's wife?"

Sixth Brother quickly replied, "Absolutely not! When they were toasting me, I just casually touched Zhang Huiru's hand, but she accused me first..."

Zi Ruo'er said, "Sixth Brother, you're so wicked! You've fallen for a complete stranger again."

Sixth Brother explained, "Ruo'er, don't overthink it. I'm sacrificing myself! Didn't you notice that Qin Dongyang's two wives don't get along? This is a counter-espionage scheme, secretly sabotaging their relationship, and then taking advantage of the situation."

Zi Ruo'er nodded half-believingly, her face flushed, listening to the waves of panting and moaning.

Seeing that Zi Ruo'er was engrossed in listening, Sixth Brother then caressed Zi Ruo'er's breasts and sucked on them.

At this moment, Zhang Huiru shouted, and the earphones suddenly went silent.

Liu Lang laughed, "They're done. Listen carefully to what they're saying." Episode 14 Synopsis

(April 18 ): Liu Lang escorted Pan Feng on her journey to marry the emperor, using cunning to successfully pass through various checkpoints. He not only subdued generals like Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, and Kou Zhun, but also took Lan Liu and Zhang Huiru into his household before finally marching into Taiyuan! In Cheng Shijie's mansion, with the help of Cheng Shijie's most favored disciple, Su Ji, Liu Lang found evidence of the Cheng family's collusion with the Liao Dynasty… Chapter 1: Taking a Risk at Woniu Pass. Zi Ruo'er nodded with a hint of doubt, her face flushed, listening to the increasingly intense sounds of lovemaking. Seeing Zi Ruo'er engrossed in the conversation, Liu Lang's hands attacked her breasts, then he licked and sucked them. Just then, Zhang Huiru shouted through the earpiece, followed by silence. Liu Lang laughed and said, "They're done. Listen carefully to what they're saying." A moment later, Zhang Huiru said, "General, didn't the Marquis of Taiyuan order you to mobilize the troops? Why haven't you acted yet?"

Qin Dongyang said, "My brother-in-law's idea is to immediately block their retreat once the escorting party for the princess's marriage passes Woniu Pass. In other words, they can come, but they can't go back! There's no rush now. I think it's not too late to mobilize troops after they reach Taiyuan Prefecture. You don't know, mobilizing tens of thousands of troops costs tens of thousands of taels of silver a day."

Zhang Huiru said, "General, you're really good at calculations, but please don't delay the military operation, lest you be punished."

Qin Dongyang said, "Madam, don't worry, I've been an official for so many years, I know what I'm doing. It's still early, let's be intimate for a while longer."

Zhang Huiru smiled charmingly, "General, you're so valiant! What kind of magic pills have you taken lately? Every time you make me feel so good."

Qin Dongyang chuckled, "No way! I've always been this good!"

Zhang Huiru said, "Come on, ever since you got together with that vixen, your body hasn't been as good as before. I bet you've been taking some kind of medicine behind my back, but for a martial artist..." "That's not a good thing. Throughout history, countless emperors have aged prematurely or even died young due to excessive indulgence. I think that little slut must have tricked you into taking the problematic medicine."

Upon hearing this, Qin Dongyang had no choice but to admit, "Lanliu was only doing it for my own good, that's why she recommended that sacred medicine to me..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huiru spat and said, "It really was that little slut's idea, General, she's deliberately trying to harm you!"

Qin Dongyang said, "Really?"

Zhang Huiru said angrily, "General, you..." " How foolish! That little slut is just hoping you'll indulge in too much pleasure and then die, so she can take the valuables the general bestowed upon her and run away with her senior brother."

Qin Dongyang said somewhat displeased, "Huiru, don't make unfounded assumptions."

Zhang Huiru said, "It's an obvious fact! Have you forgotten that her senior brother gave her a handkerchief last time? I don't believe a woman would give away her own handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water."

Qin Dongyang snorted upon hearing this.

Zhang Huiru continued, "And last year when the thief was causing trouble, when I chased him to the ancient temple outside the city, I heard that slut talking to her senior brother. And when I went inside, I even saw them disheveled. Lan Liu said she was hit by a hidden weapon, and her senior brother was treating her wound. But does treating a wound require two people to undress together?"

Qin Dongyang suddenly shouted, "Enough! Stop talking! You're such a spoilsport! That Long Qiuping is really ungrateful. I took him in because I thought his martial arts were good, but I never expected him to be so audacious as to seduce Lan Liu. I know what I'm doing. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go to sleep!"

Zhang Huiru said, "General, I don't think that imperial envoy is a good person either. He's clearly a lecher..."

Zi Ruo'er nudged Liu Lang and laughed, "I'm talking to you!"

Qin Dongyang asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Huiru said, "If he weren't a lecher, just one glance from Lan Liu..." "Would he dare touch her hand? But I'd like to grant them their wish..."

Qin Dongyang asked doubtfully, "I'm a little confused. What does Madam mean?"

Zhang Huiru smiled, "Isn't Lan Liu interested in the Imperial Envoy? And since the Imperial Envoy is coming for breakfast later, I'll put sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs in his breakfast so they can have sex."

Qin Dongyang angrily retorted, "You scoundrel! What kind of idea is this? It's clearly cuckolding me!"

Zhang Huiru said, "General, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, once you catch them in their affair, won't they obediently follow your orders? What exactly is the Imperial Envoy's trip to Shanxi for? He'll tell you everything. Besides, that little slut Lan Liu, even if she doesn't have sex with the Imperial Envoy, she's already cuckolded you. It's a bit foolish of you to still dote on her like this, General."

Qin Dongyang thought for a moment and said, "In Madam's opinion... what should we do?"

Zhang... Hui Ru said, "General, if you listen to me, leave the manor when the Imperial Envoy arrives. Since you're not going to the Infantry Headquarters anyway, I'll handle this matter. After I've dealt with it, I'll send someone to inform you, and then you can come back to deal with it. As for the Imperial Envoy, threaten him as much as possible. As for Lan Liu, wait until the Imperial Envoy leaves, then secretly dispose of her to avoid future trouble." Qin

Dongyang said somewhat reluctantly, "Do we really have to get rid of Lan Liu?"

Zhang Hui Ru said, "General, you mustn't be so soft-hearted! Besides, Lan Liu has never been on your side. Keeping her around will only make her a threat sooner or later. General, you must act decisively; that's the way of a great general. Moreover, you will be following the Marquis of Taiyuan in conquering the world. If you continue to be soft-hearted, how can you achieve great things? And if you're willing, I'll betroth my younger sister to you. General, you should..." " You like my little sister, don't you?"

Qin Dongyang said shyly. "Your sister is a swordswoman from Tianshan, with unparalleled beauty and swordsmanship. If she could... be by my side with my wife, we could conquer the world together in the future. What more could I ask for?"

Liu Lang said, "Zhang Huiru is indeed formidable. She even sacrificed her own little sister. It shows how deep her hatred for Lan Liu is. This is wonderful..."

Zi Ruo'er didn't understand Liu Lang's meaning and asked, "Liu Lang, they are plotting against us. What should we do?"

Liu Lang took off his headphones and put them away, saying to Zi Ruo'er, "What do you mean, what should we do? We'll meet force with force! I've already planned everything. Hehe, I will definitely make Qin Dongyang's wishful thinking fall through, and he might even lose both his wife and his army."

The next day, Liu Lang arrived at Qin Dongyang's residence. When the servants saw Liu Lang arrive, they hurriedly went in to report. Soon, Zhang Huiru came out to greet Liu Lang.

Liu Lang said, "So it's Madam Qin. May I ask if General Qin is in?"

Zhang Huiru invited Liu Lang into the residence and said, "My lord, the general went to the Infantry Headquarters last night to handle some official business. Because he had to deal with several tricky matters, he hasn't returned yet. But he sent someone back to inform the Imperial Envoy that he wanted to come over for a Shanxi-style breakfast, so I personally cooked it for you to try."

Liu Lang quickly waved his hand and said, "Since Lord Qin isn't here, I shouldn't disturb you."

Zhang Huiru, however, grabbed Liu Lang's hand and said, "My lord, please don't be so formal. The general and you hit it off immediately, and he insisted that you stay. Besides, it's raining so hard outside, so please don't stand on ceremony."

With that, Zhang Huiru pulled and dragged Liu Lang into the inner room.

Liu Lang found it amusing. Seeing the table full of Shanxi-style snacks, and because he was hungry, he started eating without waiting for Zhang Huiru.

Zhang Huiru said sweetly, "Your Excellency, there's no need to rush. The General has instructed us sisters to serve you well, so please put in a good word for him before the Emperor!"

Liu Lang nodded, "No problem!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang saw Zhang Huiru remove her outer garment and stand behind him.

Zhang Huiru wore a light gauze dress, which made her skin appear snow-white and translucent, revealing a peach-colored bodice underneath. The thin gauze clung tightly to her round and pert buttocks and high breasts, showcasing her alluring curves.

Zhang Huiru's beautiful eyes sparkled as she held a delicate banana leaf fan across Liu Lang's face, saying sweetly, "Your Excellency, you and the General hit it off immediately, so please make yourself at home. And you seem quite hot, let me help you cool off! If it's still too hot, General, you can take off your outer garment without worry."

While Liu Lang was surprised, he was secretly delighted: It's still raining outside, and it can't be hot at all. It seems she has ulterior motives, but it doesn't matter, I came prepared! Thinking of this, Liu Lang chuckled and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

At this moment, Liu Lang took off his outer garment and tossed it aside, then said to Zhang Huiru, "I truly envy General Qin."

Zhang Huiru asked, "Why?"

Liu Lang said, "I envy General Qin for having such a beautiful wife, not only with unparalleled beauty but also with exceptional understanding."

Zhang Huiru smiled sweetly and said, "Your Excellency is too kind!"

As she spoke, Zhang Huiru took a step closer to Liu Lang and continued, "I wonder how many beautiful wives you have, sir?"

Liu Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "I already have several, I'm ashamed! Ashamed!"

Zhang Huiru laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so valiant, sir."

Liu Lang saw that Zhang Huiru seemed to be seducing him, the fragrance emanating from her rosy lips brushing against his face, and especially seeing the sly smile on her face, he thought: Since you have ulterior motives, don't blame me for being impolite!

Liu Lang placed his hand on Zhang Huiru's lower back and said, "Come closer to me and lift me up harder, I didn't expect Woniu Pass to be so stuffy!"

Zhang Huiru smiled faintly, then almost leaned her body against Liu Lang to help him cool down.

At this moment, Liu Lang's hand slid down and touched Zhang Huiru's jade-like buttocks. Although there was a thin layer of clothing between them, the extremely elastic feel made Liu Lang's dragon spear involuntarily harden.

Zhang Huiru pretended not to notice and said, "My lord has actually married several wives. I really don't know how you can stand it? If they all came at you at the same time, wouldn't they drain you dry?"

As she spoke, Zhang Huiru chuckled.

Liu Lang exerted force with his hand and then gently pulled her onto his lap. The soft flesh of her buttocks pressed against him, giving Liu Lang wave after wave of pleasure. Moreover, thinking of her soul-stirring moans from the previous night, his lust became even more uncontrollable.

Liu Lang's hand traced Zhang Huiru's soft waist and then moved to her full breasts. He said, "I once met a master who taught me a secret technique specifically for sex. So far, I don't get exhausted; on the contrary, I'm quite adept at it. My wives are even having trouble keeping up!"

Zhang Huiru believed him and secretly glanced at Liu Lang's crotch, noticing the prominent bulge in his pants. Her heart fluttered.

Liu Lang seized the opportunity to pull Zhang Huiru closer to him, causing her to plead sweetly, "My lord, please don't do this!"

Liu Lang chuckled, "Yesterday, when my wife toasted me, she gave me a flirtatious look. I'm completely captivated by you."

With that, Liu Lang lifted Zhang Huiru's skirt and directly touched her private parts.

Zhang Huiru chuckled softly, extending her delicate, jade-white hands to slide onto Liu Lang's erect penis, and said in a coquettish voice, "My lord, you're so bold! How dare you flirt with me here? Aren't you afraid General Qin will see us?"

Liu Lang chuckled, "Just now, didn't you say he wouldn't be back for a while?"

Zhang Huiru smiled seductively, "Then you can't be so disrespectful to me!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang simply pulled open Zhang Huiru's upper garment, then slipped his large hand inside her peach-colored bodice, kneading her full breasts.

At this moment, Zhang Huiru also slipped her hand inside Liu Lang's belt, grasping his hard and burning erect penis, and began to caress it.

Liu Lang thought to himself: This slut must have already planned how to deal with me, but this is different from what she discussed with Qin Dongyang. She must have taken a liking to my handsome appearance, so she wants to have sex with me first, and then scheme against me.

As expected, Liu Lang guessed Zhang Huiru's thoughts. Zhang Huiru was naturally lustful, and unfortunately, she hadn't had her fill the previous night. Although she had prepared to deal with Liu Lang, she hadn't expected him to dare to take liberties with her. This aroused her lust, and she planned to have some fun first, then drug Liu Lang and Lan Liu to blackmail him. However, now, under Liu Lang's teasing, Zhang Huiru's clothes were becoming increasingly revealing, her smooth, fair skin rosy and incredibly alluring.

Liu Lang removed Zhang Huiru's peach-colored bodice, exposing her full breasts, and Zhang Huiru took out Liu Lang's penis and immediately put it in her mouth…

Liu Lang felt a wave of dizziness. After all, since his transmigration, Liu Lang had been with countless women, but he had never experienced such pleasure. This was because the women he had encountered were either virgins or virtuous housewives; none were as seductive as Zhang Huiru.

At this moment, Liu Lang couldn't wait to remove Zhang Huiru's underpants. Seeing this, Zhang Huiru propped herself up, thrusting out her round, upturned buttocks. Her pubic area was already soaked and wet, allowing Liu Lang to easily insert his dragon spear.

Zhang Huiru felt as if she had entered paradise. Her private parts were being stirred and penetrated by Liu Lang's hard, thick dragon spear, causing her to let out seductive moans and sway her hips to meet his movements.

With each powerful thrust, Zhang Huiru's cheeks flushed, her lips parted slightly, and the waves of pleasure surging within her made her unable to control herself, emitting alluring moans. Her breathtakingly beautiful appearance was captivating.

Liu Lang's one hand caressed Zhang Huiru's rounded buttocks, while his other hand touched her high, firm breasts. His thick, hard penis thrust rapidly in and out of her tight, secluded valley, the sounds of their lower abdomens slapping against each other echoing, and streams of love fluid gushing from within.

Zhang Huiru cried out, arching her body to meet each of Liu Lang's thrusts.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhang Huiru suddenly began to thrust even faster, crying out, "Don't move!"

Liu Lang, who was about to move, was immediately grabbed tightly by Zhang Huiru. Hearing her high-pitched moans and feeling the tightness and contractions within her valley, Liu Lang couldn't help but thrust forward forcefully, and streams of hot semen poured onto her flower.

Zhang Huiru's whole body convulsed, spurting out streams of hot love fluid, and then she went limp.

Liu Lang looked at Zhang Huiru and chuckled.

Zhang Huiru playfully scolded, "What are you laughing at? You almost killed me just now."

Liu Lang pulled Zhang Huiru into his arms and said, "You were really seductive just now!"

Zhang Huiru grasped Liu Lang's dragon spear and said, "My lord, you're so amazing! You made me lose my erection so quickly."

Calculating the time, Zhang Huiru felt that if she didn't carry out her plan soon, she would miss breakfast, so she quickly got up from under Liu Lang, putting on her skirt as she said, "My lord, don't do this anymore, it'll be terrible if Lan Liu sees us."

Liu Lang said, "That's perfect, I'll take her too, so she won't complain to you."

Zhang Huiru tapped Liu Lang's forehead with her finger and said sweetly, "My lord is so greedy!"

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and a beautiful figure carrying a flower umbrella walked towards the inner room where Liu Lang was.

Zhang Huiru exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, Lan Liu is here!"

Saying this, Zhang Huiru quickly tidied her clothes and hair.

At this moment, Lan Liu stepped in.

Liu Lang calmly dressed, pretending not to care, and enjoyed the delicious food on the table.

Lan Liu bowed to Liu Lang and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency." Liu

Lang smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, sit down and eat with us."

Zhang Huiru asked, "Sister, why are you only arriving now? Breakfast time is almost over!"

Lan Liu said in surprise, "Sister, you clearly said you would come to call me, so I've been waiting in my room, but so much time has passed and there's been no news. I thought the Imperial Envoy hadn't come!"

Zhang Huiru feigned surprise and said, "How could that be? I clearly sent someone to call you!"

Liu Lang said, "Never mind, Lan Liu is here anyway, and General Qin won't be back anytime soon, let's hurry up and fill our stomachs!"

Zhang Huiru smiled and said, "You all enjoy your meal first, I'll go to the kitchen and get the lotus seed soup that's been cooked."

With that, Zhang Huiru swayed her ample hips and left.

Liu Lang thought to himself: "I really need to drug him! Humph! He just got to have some fun with me, and now he's plotting against me. But that's fine, I can turn the tables on him."

Liu Lang then looked at Lan Liu. Although not as flamboyant as Zhang Huiru, she possessed a unique charm and allure.

At that moment, Zhang Huiru returned with lotus seed soup, diligently pouring a bowl for both Liu Lang and Lan Liu, saying, "Lan Liu, it's all your fault for being late, making the Imperial Envoy hungry. You're punished by having this soup instead of wine to offer to the Imperial Envoy."

Lan Liu immediately stood up, but Liu Lang said, "How can you use soup instead of wine? It has to be strong liquor."

Zhang Huiru was surprised to hear this, saying, "Very well! Anyway, Lan Liu is a heroine among women. I'll go get the wine right away."

With that, Zhang Huiru turned and left.

Liu Lang found it amusing. Looking at the two bowls of lotus seed soup, he concluded there was something wrong. He said to Lan Liu, "Second Madam Qin, I like sweets, so this lotus seed porridge must have sugar in it. I forgot to tell Madam Zhang earlier; perhaps you could inform the servants?"

Lan Liu stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Strange, why is it so quiet today? Where have all the maids gone?"

Seeing Lan Liu leave, Liu Lang picked up the bowl in front of him, poured the lotus seed soup into the corner under the bed, then filled another bowl before... He said to Lan Liu, "It's alright if the maid isn't here. It's raining outside, so there's no need to trouble her."

Lan Liu turned back dejectedly, forcing a smile, "Your Excellency, look at this continuous rain, won't it delay your journey?"

Liu Lang waved his hand, "No, a few days' delay on the road is fine. As long as the princess arrives in Taiyuan safely, I can report back."

Zhang Huiru rushed back in the blink of an eye. Because of the rain, her thin gauze dress clung tightly to her body, giving Liu Lang a good look.

Zhang Huiru opened the wine jar and poured a full cup of wine for Liu Lang and Lan Liu.

Lan Liu smiled and picked up the wine cup, then drank it all in one gulp. Liu Lang followed suit, and the three of them began to eat breakfast, chatting and laughing.

Liu Lang had almost finished eating. Lan Liu then urged Liu Lang and Zhang Huiru to drink lotus seed soup as well. Seeing Zhang Huiru take a large bowl and drink it,

Liu Lang assumed the soup was fine and drank it as well. At that moment, using the table as cover, Liu Lang secretly reached out and touched Zhang Huiru's thigh. Zhang Huiru didn't dare resist.

Seeing this, Liu Lang lifted Zhang Huiru's skirt. Since she wasn't wearing any underpants, Liu Lang began to caress her long, white legs, then touched her wet labia, causing Zhang Huiru to tremble and almost cry out.

Seeing that Zhang Huiru didn't dare resist in front of Lan Liu, Liu Lang simply rolled up Zhang Huiru's skirt around her waist and then stroked her wet private parts, causing Zhang Huiru to moan involuntarily.

Lan Liu didn't notice Liu Lang and Zhang Huiru's actions. She just felt a strange sensation in her body and a slight dizziness. Shaking her head to clear her head, she asked疑惑地, "Sister, maybe I didn't sleep well last night; I'm a little dizzy!"

Zhang Huiru smiled and said, "Since you didn't sleep well, why don't you sleep here for a while?"

Lan Liu replied, "No need, I'll go back to my room to rest. You continue to keep the Imperial Envoy company."

As she spoke, Lan Liu stood up to leave, but her legs suddenly gave way, and she almost fell.

Zhang Huiru quickly supported her, saying softly, "Judging from your appearance, did you have a drink with the envoy earlier and get drunk?"

With that, Zhang Huiru helped Lan Liu to the bedside.

Lan Liu's eyes were glazed over. "It shouldn't be... Sister knows my alcohol tolerance. Who knows what's going on?"

Zhang Huiru said, "Forget it, don't push yourself. Just rest here. I'll have someone take you home when the rain stops."

Lan Liu nodded. Then, Zhang Huiru started to undress her, making Lan Liu panic. "Sister, why are you taking my clothes off?" she asked

. Zhang Huiru laughed, "It's so hot. Sleeping in clothes will make them soaked with sweat. Don't think too much about it."

With that, Zhang Huiru stripped Lan Liu down to her undergarments and helped her to bed.

At that moment, Lan Liu felt completely weak, a strange sensation rising within her.

Zhang Huiru turned around and saw Liu Lang lecherously approaching. She thought, "This Imperial Envoy is not only skilled in bed, but also has profound internal strength. I gave him such a strong drug, and Lan Liu is already like this, yet he hasn't reacted at all."

Unable to resist the alluring scene before him, Liu Lang, excited at the thought of conquering Qin Dongyang's two wives, embraced Zhang Huiru's slender waist and said, "Beauty, Lanliu is asleep, let's continue!"

With that, Liu Lang lifted Zhang Huiru's gauze skirt, revealing her snow-white buttocks. Before Zhang Huiru could resist, Liu Lang had already thrust into her

. Zhang Huiru cried out, trying to resist, but it was too late.

Lanliu, not yet fully unconscious, witnessed Liu Lang's dragon spear entering Zhang Huiru's private parts. She gasped in surprise, "You...you guys!"

Zhang Huiru knew she could no longer hide it, so she decided to go all in, enjoying Liu Lang's thrusts while simultaneously rethinking her plan.

Zhang Huiru believed that Liu Lang would faint soon, so she simply waited until he passed out, then killed Lan Liu, and then lied to Liu Lang that he had killed Lan Liu in a drunken stupor. This way, Liu Lang would be frightened, and she could then entice him into submission. When Qin Dongyang returned, since Lan Liu was dead, she could easily fabricate a reason to deceive him; there would be no way to prove it, and Qin Dongyang would have no choice but to accept the outcome.

Liu Lang had already guessed Zhang Huiru's plan, but he didn't think too much about it, intending to enjoy Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu's bodies first.

While playing with Zhang Huiru, Liu Lang caressed Lan Liu's body. Although Lan Liu possessed martial arts skills, she was drugged and powerless, and consumed by lust, she couldn't help but moan under Liu Lang's teasing.

Seeing Liu Lang and Zhang Huiru making love, Lan Liu, burning with desire, couldn't resist. One hand kneaded her breasts, while the other reached between her legs, caressing her pubic area.

Liu Lang, seeing this, said to Zhang Huiru, "Look, Lan Liu can't take it anymore!"

With that, Liu Lang pounced on Lan Liu, thrusting his penis into her tender opening and beginning to pump vigorously.

With each thrust, Lan Liu experienced intense pleasure, waves of ecstasy washing over her, making her Liu Lang's captive, completely lost in the sea of desire.

At this moment, Lan Liu could no longer control herself. With a groan, her whole body began to tremble violently, and then her juices flowed slowly down her thighs. However, the drug's effects overwhelmed her, causing her to immediately faint.

Seeing this, Liu Lang, taking advantage of the lubrication of the love fluids, began to thrust wildly. His dragon spear could feel the tightness and warmth of Lan Liu's inner valley, causing Liu Lang to groan with pleasure before ejaculating streams of semen.

Afterwards, Liu Lang confronted Zhang Huiru, telling her that he had already seen through her scheme and revealing what he had overheard her plotting with Qin Dongyang the previous night.

Zhang Huiru was terrified.

Liu Lang said to Zhang Huiru, "You are now under the influence of my Seven Yuan True Qi. You have no choice but to be loyal to me for life. Following Qin Dongyang will only lead to your death."

Zhang Huiru was completely disoriented. Liu Lang then gently persuaded her, explaining some reasons, until she agreed to be with him. Finally, Liu Lang asked Zhang Huiru to take Lan Liu to the inn where he had stayed the previous night.

Back at the inn, seeing that Lan Liu was still unconscious, Liu Lang returned to the post station. Bai Yunfei and the others were already restless, worried that something had happened to Liu Lang. Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei even went to the vicinity of Qin Dongyang's residence to inquire about the situation.

Upon seeing Liu Lang return safely, the four of them were overjoyed. Pan Bao also happily ran to report to Pan Feng that he was safe.

Bai Xuefei said with concern, "Liu Lang, you're soaked to the bone. Quickly change your clothes!"

Although Liu Lang was exhausted, he felt that the experience with Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu was more rewarding than bitter, so he disregarded his fatigue and immediately began the next step of his plan.

Liu Lang said to Murong Feixue, "Sister-in-law, aren't you known as the Thousand-Faced Beauty? Make a human skin mask of Long Qiuping right now, the sooner the better!"

Murong Feixue wanted to ask Liu Lang what he wanted to do, but knowing that Liu Lang always had many ideas, she figured it must be useful. So she quickly took out her bag, retrieved the materials for making the human skin mask, and began to work.

At this moment, Liu Lang was dozing off in his chair. Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei thought Liu Lang was just too tired, but only Zi Ruo'er knew the reason for his exhaustion, so she took a fan and stood behind him to fan him.

Chapter Two: Liu Lang's Ingenious Plan to Secure the World .

Liu Lang slept for about an hour when Murong Feixue woke him up, saying, "The human skin mask for Long Qiuping is finished, but I don't have a deep impression of him, and I don't know if it looks good."

Liu Lang said, "Put it on, let me see."

Murong Feixue put on the human skin mask, and after Liu Lang and the others looked at it, they thought it was quite similar. Then Liu Lang pointed out some differences and asked Murong Feixue to make modifications.

When Murong Feixue put on the human skin mask again, she looked seven or eight parts like Long Qiuping.

Liu Lang said, "Don't take off that human skin mask. Change into some other clothes and then come with me!"

Murong Feixue asked, "What clothes? What's wrong with these clothes?"

Liu Lang replied, "These are official robes. If you wear these, what's the point of wearing this mask? If you don't have suitable clothes, go to the street and buy some."

Upon hearing this, Murong Feixue went to a shop and bought a set of ordinary men's clothes. This makeover added to her resemblance to the real thing, which pleased Liu Lang. He said, "Not bad, sister-in-law, you truly are a woman of a thousand faces! Let's go, you and Zi Ruo'er come with me to do something important."

Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei quickly asked, "Liulang, what about us?"

Liu Lang said, "Is there even a need to ask? Protect the princess and make sure you're well. We still need to travel after the rain stops tomorrow."

Seeing that Bai Yunfei and her sister were somewhat reluctant, Liu Lang said, "Obey orders!"

Liu Lang led Murong Feixue and Zi Ruo'er through the rain to the inn.

When Zi Ruo'er saw Liu Lang leading her and Murong Feixue to the inn where they had stayed the previous night, she blushed immediately.

Seeing Zi Ruo'er's blush, Murong Feixue knew that Liu Lang must have spent the night with her there, just like what he had done to her back in Flying Tiger City.

When they arrived at the inn's room and saw Lan Liu lying on the bed, Murong Feixue and Zi Ruo'er were both stunned.

Liu Lang quickly explained, "She's Qin Dongyang's concubine; you should have seen her before."

Murong Feixue asked, "How did she get here?"

Liu Lang said seriously, "I brought her here. Don't overthink it; we have other things to do!"

Then, Liu Lang whispered something in Murong Feixue's ear.

Murong Feixue said shyly, "Is it really like this? It's so embarrassing!" Zi Ruo'er clapped her hands and said

, "This is so funny! Having my sister-in-law pretend to be a man and rape Qin Dongyang's concubine, Liu Lang, how could you even think of that?"

Liu Lang spread his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, just bear with it, I really have no other choice!"

Murong Feixue said embarrassedly, "I...I really don't know how! It's so embarrassing! Liu Lang, you're so naughty, do you really have to do this?"

Liu Lang laughed, "What's so embarrassing about it? It's not like you're getting intimate with a man. Later..." "After I give her the antidote, you can touch her as much as you want, the harder the better, just make her think you're Long Qiuping."

Murong Feixue was still a little hesitant, saying, "Alright, I'll do my best!"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Don't forget, after she wakes up, tell her what I told you."

Liu Lang took out the antidote Zhang Huiru had given him and gave it to Lan Liu, saying, "It should take effect soon, sister-in-law, let's begin..."

After saying that, Liu Lang smiled at Murong Feixue and pulled Zi Ruo'er outside.

Murong Feixue didn't dare to delay and quickly stimulated Lan Liu's private parts with her hand.

Soon, Lan Liu woke up and immediately realized that someone was touching her private parts. She screamed in fright.

Murong Feixue quickly looked up and said, "Don't scream, junior sister! It's me."

After saying that, Murong Feixue quickly lowered her head again. Lan Liu was immediately shocked and said, "Senior brother! How could you do this? You... let me go!"

Murong Feixue said, "Junior sister, I... love you! I want you!"

As he spoke, Murong Feixue hugged Lan Liu tightly and kissed her face.

Lan Liu was both ashamed and angry, struggling desperately and shouting, "If you don't let me go, I'll scream for help!"

Seeing Lan Liu's desperate resistance, Murong Feixue didn't think she had an affair with Long Qiuping, but he still continued, "Go ahead and scream, let's see who comes to save you. I'm so devoted to you, are you really unmoved, junior sister?"

Lan Liu was powerless and unable to resist for a moment. She could only sigh and say, "Senior brother, you should know my character. I know you love me, but I can't do this! Qin Dongyang is ruthless, and Zhang Huiru is dissatisfied with me. What you're doing to me now is clearly pushing me into a fire pit!"

As she spoke, Lan Liu began to cry.

Murong Feixue was at a loss for what to do, so she put her arm around Lan Liu's shoulder and said, "Junior sister, how about I take you away?"

Lan Liu shook her head and said, "Why don't you understand? My father's revenge is not yet complete, I will not go with you."

Murong Feixue did not expect there to be a hidden story, and for a moment she did not know what to do.

Lan Liu continued, "I will be yours sooner or later, but your haste is really disappointing! I ask you, how did you bring me here, and what did you do to me?"

Murong Feixue quickly said according to what Liu Lang had taught her, "You were drunk in the First Madam's room, and she asked me to help you back to your room. I was momentarily blinded by lust..."

Lan Liu suddenly remembered what happened in Zhang Huiru's room, and thought: Oh no! She clearly wanted to frame me. She was having an affair with the Imperial Envoy, and she asked my senior brother to help me back to my room. She clearly set a trap to frame me. Maybe she... Thinking of this, Lan Liu looked worriedly at the door of the room.

Listening to the commotion inside, Liu Lang kicked the door as if to burst in. Zi Ruo'er immediately shouted, "The Imperial Envoy has arrived!"

Lan Liu's vision blurred; she thought, "It's over. It seems Zhang Huiru is determined to kill me.

" Liu Lang led Zi Ruo'er in, yelling, "So there really is an adulterous couple here! Guards! Tie them up and hand them over to General Qin!"

Seeing Liu Lang, Lan Liu remembered his affair with Zhang Huiru and thought, "It was Zhang Huiru who conspired with the Imperial Envoy to frame me! I'm doomed! If I'm handed over to Qin Dongyang, he'll definitely beat me to death!" Meanwhile, Murong Feixue suddenly knelt on the ground, crying, "Imperial Envoy, spare my life!"

Zi Ruo'er found it amusing; her sister-in-law's acting was spot-on!

Liu Lang snorted and said, "Why should I spare your life?"

Lan Liu knew it was all over, so she grabbed her clothes and covered herself, saying to Murong Feixue, "Senior brother, don't beg him. He and Zhang Huiru are in cahoots to deal with us. It's all your fault for being blinded by lust and being used by others."

Liu Lang snorted and said, "You still dare to be dishonest in front of me? Aren't you afraid I'll make you parade naked through the streets?"

And this worked. Lan Liu indeed became honest!

Liu Lang chuckled and continued, "I just heard you say that your father's revenge is not yet complete. It seems you have some conspiracy to hide from me. Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Lan Liu remained silent.

Liu Lang roared, "Guards! Drag this woman out into the street and parade her for three days!"

Murong Feixue pleaded desperately, "My lord, please! Junior sister, just confess! We're all doomed anyway."

Lan Liu sighed and said, "Traitor! It doesn't matter if I tell you. I married Qin Dongyang not because I loved him, but because I have an irreconcilable feud with Cheng Shijie. I wanted to use his relationship with Cheng Shijie to avenge my father. You dog, if you hadn't colluded with Zhang Huiru, how could you have ruined my plan? Heaven is truly blind!"

With that, Lan Liu tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide.

Liu Lang stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Wait!"

Lan Liu's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "Traitor, why are you stopping me? Wouldn't it be better if I died?"

Liu Lang laughed, "If you die like this, everything will be fine, but you won't be able to avenge your father."

Lan Liu looked at Liu Lang in surprise.

Liu Lang said, "What grudge do you have against Cheng Shijie? Tell me, and perhaps I can avenge you."

Lan Liu didn't believe Liu Lang's words, so Murong Feixue said, "Junior Sister, now that things have come to this, what harm is there in telling him? Perhaps the Imperial Envoy can avenge us."

Lan Liu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly tears streamed down her face, and she choked out, "Cheng Shijie killed more than forty members of my family. If I don't avenge this, I, Liu Lan, will die with my eyes open!"

Liu Lang said, "Don't get agitated; you've even mispronounced your name."

Lan Liu said, "I..." My original name was Liu Lan. My father, Liu Chaoxian, was the prefect of Tongzhou. Because he opposed Cheng Shijie's surrender to the Song Dynasty, he incurred Cheng Shijie's wrath. Later, his entire family was executed. At the time, I was studying martial arts on Baiyun Mountain and escaped the massacre. Afterwards, I changed my name to Lan Liu and waited for an opportunity to avenge my father. However, Cheng Shijie was highly skilled in martial arts and had great power, and I, a weak woman, had no way to take revenge. By chance, I met Qin Dongyang, who was captivated by my beauty and began to pursue me. I thought that he was Cheng Shijie's brother-in-law, and if I married him, I would have a chance to get close to him. "Cheng Shijie, so..."

Liu Lang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then you won't die! To tell you the truth, I came to Shanxi this time to secretly investigate Cheng Shijie's crimes. The Emperor has given me a secret decree, which allows me to execute first and report later if necessary. I will definitely stand up for you."

Seeing that Lan Liu still didn't believe him, Liu Lang pulled Zi Ruo'er aside and said, "Do you know who she is?"

Seeing Lan Liu shake her head, Liu Lang said, "She is the daughter of the Northern Han Emperor, Princess Liancheng, Liu Zi Ruo."

Lan Liu was stunned. Zi Ruo'er stepped forward and said, "Sister, I'm so sorry to have wronged you. I am indeed the daughter of the Northern Han Emperor. I also know about the injustice done to Prefect Liu of Tongzhou! Not long ago, when we gathered at Honghuating, General Qi Chenghai mentioned this matter. We originally planned to unite against Cheng Shijie, but the gathering at Honghuating failed because of a traitor's betrayal, and many lives were lost."

Lan Liu said happily, "Are you really the princess of Northern Han?"

Zi Ruo'er nodded with tears in her eyes.

Liu Lang laughed, "Since that's the case, let's shake hands and make peace!"

However, despite saying this, Liu Lang, for safety's sake, didn't completely trust Lan Liu. Instead, he said to Zi Ruo'er, "Take Long Qiuping away first. I have something to say to Lan Liu."

Zi Ruo'er obeyed and took Murong Feixue away.

Liu Lang had Lan Liu put on her clothes and said to her, "The Emperor ordered me to send Princess Zhaoyang to Shanxi for a marriage alliance, all to investigate Cheng Shijie. Now that I've told you about this, what do you plan to do next?"

Lan Liu said, "As long as Cheng Shijie can be killed, I'll do whatever you say, sir."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Good! Let me ask you again, is your senior brother Long Qiuping truly dedicated to helping you avenge yourself?"

Lan Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "He's been very good to me, but I never imagined he would do something like this."

Liu Lang continued, "That's the end of this matter. Also, don't completely trust Long Qiuping. I always felt that he was somewhat opportunistic. Perhaps in his heart, fame and fortune are more important than you."

Lan Liu nodded in agreement.

Liu Lang continued, “After returning to Qin Dongyang’s residence, act as if nothing happened. When Qin Dongyang asks you, pretend you’re clueless and say you were drunk, understand? Also, Zhang Huiru has agreed to help me, but I don’t completely trust her, so after you go back, you must closely monitor her actions. As for when to kill Cheng Shijie, wait for my order. After all, Cheng Shijie is no ordinary person; we need to be patient.”

Seeing that Lan Liu remembered, Liu Lang let her go and told Zi Ruo’er to keep an eye on Lan Liu’s actions. He then took Murong Feixue’s hand and led her to the room, laughing, “Sister-in-law, your performance was brilliant! I’ll give you the top credit!”

Murong Feixue said, “Forget it! That performance just now really ruined my life!”

At Qin Dongyang’s residence, Qin Dongyang prepared a grand banquet, and this time only Liu Lang attended.

Seeing that Zhang Huiru and Lan Liu were both present, Liu Lang knew that the plan was almost successful. He thought to himself: It seems Qin Dongyang has been a cuckold and is still being kept in the dark.

Liu Lang was overjoyed and drank heartily. Taking advantage of Qin Dongyang's inattention, he repeatedly groped Zhang Huiru's thighs and buttocks under the table.

Zhang Huiru toasted Liu Lang, and seeing that he had drunk enough, Liu Lang pretended to want to whisper something to Qin Dongyang and went with him to the inner room.

Once inside, Liu Lang took the opportunity to retrieve the listening device and extorted several thousand taels of silver from Qin Dongyang before taking his leave.

The next day, Liu Lang got up early and immediately ordered his troops to set off for Jietang Pass. Because Woniu Pass was not far from Jietang Pass, Liu Lang and his men arrived smoothly before dark.

The Jietang Pass garrison commander, Shen Yuanbao, had been seriously ill, so the prefect Kou Zhun led civil and military officials to greet him.

Liu Lang knew of Kou Zhun's relationship with Pan Renmei, so he stayed at Kou Zhun's house and gave him Pan Renmei's letter.

Kou Zhun said to Liu Lang, "I have received a letter from my cousin. He wants me to lend you a hand, but Jietang Pass is a small place with less than 10,000 soldiers. Moreover, military power is in Shen Yuanbao's hands, and I only have supervisory authority. I don't know how I can help you with this."

Liu Lang smiled and said, "Lord Kou is a scholar who passed the imperial examinations twice and is a famous scholar in Shanxi. Now, Cheng Shijie is plotting a rebellion, and the Emperor's order for me to send Princess Zhaoyang to a marriage alliance is a pretense, but a secret investigation is the real purpose. If the situation changes, I wonder which side Lord Kou will stand on?"

Kou Zhun said, "Of course, I will stand on the side of justice. " "On the other side,"

said Liu Lang. "Cheng Shijie first betrayed the Northern Han, and now he has betrayed the Great Song. His actions should be condemned. Along the way, I've heard many people are dissatisfied with him, and even a princess of the Northern Han has gathered a group of sworn brothers to oppose him."

Kou Zhun said, "Your Excellency is referring to the gathering at Honghua Pavilion, isn't he? I've already heard about it. Those loyal and virtuous men died a great loss. However, the Northern Han no longer exists. I don't agree with their goal of restoring the Northern Han; instead, I hope for peace throughout the land and for the people of Shanxi to live and work in peace."

Liu Lang praised, "Lord Kou is absolutely right! To tell you the truth, that princess has already submitted to the Song Dynasty and is now in the procession for the marriage alliance."

Kou Zhun was greatly surprised upon hearing this and asked, "Is that really true?"

Liu Lang replied, "Absolutely true."

Kou Zhun nodded and asked, "How does Your Excellency intend to deal with Cheng Shijie?"

Liu Lang said, "Of course, we need to gather evidence of his rebellion and then report it to the Emperor. However, if this happens, Cheng Shijie and I will inevitably become sworn enemies. Even if I can break out of Taiyuan, there are several passes on the way to Waqiao Pass. We need a place to stay!"

Kou Zhun's eyes sharpened, and he said, "What does Your Excellency mean?" "Is it to take Jietang Pass?"

Liu Lang said, "That's right, Lord Kou, we really hit it off immediately. And considering Lord Pan's connection, I hope you won't refuse. If you can help me take Jietang Pass, it will be a great achievement. After it's done, Lord Kou won't need to serve as an official in Shanxi anymore."

Kou Zhun said, "I didn't decide to do this for the sake of promotion, but because I don't want to see Cheng Shijie make Shanxi a place of misery. Shen Yuanbao is currently bedridden, so I took over all the affairs of Jietang Pass a while ago, but the military power is still in Shen Yuanbao's hands."

Liu Lang decisively said, "Then let's quietly seize the military power?"

Kou Zhun pondered for a long time without speaking.

Liu Lang asked, "Aren't you sure?"

Kou Zhun replied, "Jietang Pass has seven thousand soldiers, deployed in four camps, each commanded by a general. Two of them are my sworn brothers, while the other two are not."

Liu Lang laughed, "That's simple! Just take away their command, won't you?"

Kou Zhun shook his head and sighed, "They are both fifth-rank officials of the imperial court. What right do I have to take away their command?"

Liu Lang thought for a while and then smiled, "I've got it..."

That evening, Kou Zhun hosted a banquet for Liu Lang at his home. Because Shen Yuanbao was bedridden, Kou Zhun had the four generals accompany him.

During the banquet, Liu Lang and Kou Zhun addressed each other as brothers, toasting and drinking, while the four generals were very reserved, especially Feng Zhi and Li Nan. They had no prior relationship with Kou Zhun and were afraid of offending Liu Lang if they drank too much. However, Zhang Guangbei and Li Tongshun, officials from the Ministry of Rites who accompanied Liu Lang, kept toasting them, making them drink quite a bit.

Seeing this, Liu Lang said, "Lord Kou, I was escorting Princess Zhaoyang to Shanxi when we were attacked by bandits. Fortunately, General Qin at Woniu Pass provided excellent protection. We mustn't have any mishaps at Jietang Pass today!"

Kou Zhun quickly replied, "Your Excellency, rest assured. Tonight, I've already arranged several shifts of sentries to guard the residence. Feng Zhi, Li Nan, Kou Zhong, and Tang Xuanli, listen carefully. Tonight, no matter what the most important matter, put it aside. The princess's safety is our top priority. You four will split into two groups and strengthen patrols within the residence. If anything goes wrong, beware of your heads."

The four men stood up and said in unison, " "Yes, sir!"

Kou Zhong and Tang Xuanli said, "Lord Kou, Your Excellency, we are already quite drunk. To protect the princess's safety, we will not drink with you two any longer. We will go on patrol now."

Seeing Kou Zhong and Tang Xuanli take their leave, Feng Zhi and Li Nan also quickly stood up and said, "This humble general will also go on patrol."

Kou Zhun said, "Very well! I'll trouble the four generals tonight. Tomorrow night, I will drink with you until we're both drunk."

Feng Zhi and Li Nan respectfully took their leave and led their men to patrol Kou Zhun's residence. Kou Zhun's house was not large. After circling it three or four times, they felt a little bored, so they instructed their men to continue patrolling while they sat down to rest at the entrance of the back garden.

Feng Zhi said, "Brother Li, it seems Lord Shen Gongbao is not going to make it. It's hard to say whether he'll survive. Although the court's appointment and Lord Cheng's edict haven't arrived yet, it seems unlikely that Kou Zhun will replace Shen Gongbao. And our relationship with him isn't very good, which is bad for our future prospects!"

Li Nan said, "Then what can we do? We can't just give Kou Zhun another big gift! You know, the three thousand taels of silver I gave to Shen Gongbao was all my savings!"

Feng Zhi said, "Brother Li, do you think silver is more important, or is your future more important? Judging from the close relationship between Lord Kou and the Imperial Envoy, his career will surely rise rapidly. If we don't spend money, I'm afraid we won't even get promoted, let alone..." "I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my current position!"

Li Nan sighed. "Brother Feng, do you mean... this is necessary?"

Feng Zhi said, "I'm doing this for your own good. In any case, you decide for yourself. Anyway, I'm already planning to visit Lord Kou."

Li Nan nodded and said, "I'll listen to you!"

As Li Nan and Feng Zhi were talking, a palace maid suddenly ran over in a panic, saying, "Generals, come quickly! There are rats in the princess's room!"

Feng Zhi and Li Nan were startled and looked at each other. Feng Zhi said, "The princess is in trouble, let's go help her quickly!"

Li Nan and Feng Zhi followed the palace maid to Pan Feng's room and heard a woman screaming inside. Eager to make a contribution, they immediately rushed in.

When Li Nan and his companion entered Pan Feng's room, they saw a beautiful young woman squatting barefoot on the bed. Her hair was loose, and she wore only a light-colored undergarment. She was hugging her knees, trembling all over, and cried out, "Help! Help me!"

Li Nan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Princess, don't panic, this humble general has come to protect you."

Pan Feng quickly said, "Quick! The mouse is on the bed..."

Without thinking, Li Nan jumped onto the bed and began to carefully search for the mouse. Feng Zhi, however, was somewhat frightened because he saw that Pan Feng's clothes were thin, and since Pan Feng was a princess, he hesitated whether to go forward. Suddenly, Pan Feng jumped up and said, "Ah! The mouse..."

As she spoke, Pan Feng hugged Li Nan, her delicate body trembling slightly.

At this moment, chaotic footsteps sounded outside the room, and Liu Lang and Kou Zhun appeared with a group of guards.

Upon seeing Liu Lang appear, Pan Feng began to struggle, slapping Li Nan across the face and crying, "You audacious servant, how dare you harass this princess! Waaah..."

A palace maid rushed over to help Pan Feng put on her clothes, but Pan Feng continued to sob.

Liu Lang roared, "How dare you trespass into the princess's chambers! Guards! Seize him!"

Bai Yunfei and Bai Xuefei immediately came over, tied up Li Nan and Feng Zhi, and took them away.

Li Nan immediately cried out that he was innocent, while Feng Zhi anxiously explained the reason, but Liu Lang wouldn't listen. He only said to Kou Zhun, "Lord Kou, I didn't expect your officials to be so bold as to dare to enter the princess's room and even harass her! I'll report this to the Emperor."

Kou Zhun was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, please don't! This has nothing to do with me!"

As he spoke, Kou Zhun turned around and scolded Li Nan and Feng Zhi, "You are really audacious. You have ruined me."

Liu Lang shouted, "Take the Imperial Sword and execute them on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Feixue immediately handed the Imperial Sword to Liu Lang, while Li Nan and Feng Zhi were already so frightened that they begged for mercy.

Kou Zhun said, "Your Excellency, Li Nan and Feng Zhi have always been loyal to the Song Dynasty. Their offense against the princess this time may have had a reason. I implore Your Excellency to make a wise judgment!"

Liu Lang snorted and said, "You bastards, what reason could there be? They clearly lust after the princess because of her beauty! Do you know that Princess Zhaoyang is the wife the Emperor is betrothing to the son of the Marquis of Taiyuan in Shanxi? You are truly ignorant of your own limitations. If the Marquis of Taiyuan finds out about this, he will skin you alive! I'm giving you a quick death now to save you from future suffering!"

Li Nan and Feng Zhi were immediately terrified, their faces turning ashen and their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Kou Zhun said, "Your Excellency, considering their past merits and the imminent war between Song and Liao, when the country is in dire need of manpower, please punish them leniently!"

Liu Lang said, "Since Lord Kou is protecting them, I will show leniency. This matter is entirely in your hands, but they must be severely punished, and a report must be submitted to the court!"

Kou Zhun repeatedly agreed, then ordered his servants to temporarily imprison Li Nan and Feng Zhi. He then summoned Kou Zhong and Tang Xuanli, saying, "Li Nan and Feng Zhi have committed a serious crime. You will temporarily take over their troops. Tomorrow, you will accompany me to Lord Shen Gongbao to obtain the military tally and command tokens."

Kou Zhong and Tang Xuanli both agreed and went to patrol.

Liu Lang and Kou Zhun exchanged a smile and then took their leave.

At this moment, Liu Lang entered Pan Feng's room. Seeing no one was there, Pan Feng threw herself into Liu Lang's arms, saying, "Liu Lang, you're so naughty! I, a princess, have to do such things! Those two generals are really unlucky."

Liu Lang said, "There's nothing we can do. They have military power, but they're not on our side!"

Pan Feng exclaimed in surprise, "So, Jietang Pass has already fallen into our hands?"

Liu Lang said, "Almost. Your relative is really easy to use."

Pan Feng said, "He spent so much effort to help you, Liu Lang, you have to compensate me!"

Liu Lang angrily asked, "Did that person take advantage of you?"

Pan Feng laughed, "Hehe! To be honest, he didn't even dare look me in the eye. Unlike you, so bold and daring to do anything!"

Liu Lang chuckled, "Is that so? Then I'll be bold again!"

Saying this, Liu Lang hugged Pan Feng tightly.

A blush immediately rose to Pan Feng's face. Biting her lower lip, she whispered, "Liu Lang, no!"

Liu Lang said, "Is that so? Then I'll take my leave—" As he spoke, Liu Lang was about to leave, but Pan Feng grabbed him. She looked shy and stammered, "You're so mean! You know I miss you, and you still tease me like this."

Liu Lang hugged Pan Feng again and asked, "Do you really miss me?"

Pan Feng's pretty face turned even redder at his words. She said, "I...I...Whether it was then, now, or in the future, I will only ever miss you...Liu Lang, you must believe me."

As she said this, a firm light shone in Pan Feng's clear eyes.

Liu Lang couldn't help but kiss Pan Feng's lips, laughing, "If you want it, just say so. Why are you being so coy?"

With that, Liu Lang removed Pan Feng's clothes, revealing her arms and legs as white as mutton-fat jade. He couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"

Hearing this, Pan Feng's heart leaped with joy, her shyness overflowing. She leaned towards Liu Lang.

Seeing this, Liu Lang reached out and caught Pan Feng, caressing her legs. He then went to her underpants and gently pressed them, feeling their damp coolness.

Pan Feng was instantly filled with shame, trembling, and gasped, "No!"

At this moment, Liu Lang pulled down her underpants, revealing her private parts, covered in a muddy mess of pubic hair.

Pan Feng said shyly, "You… I already wanted to give it to you…"

Hearing this, Liu Lang hugged Pan Feng tightly, kissing her lips while caressing her private parts.

Pan Feng gasped softly, swaying her slender waist as an indescribable, strange pleasure surged through her body. Unable to resist any longer, she proactively removed her bodice, pulling Liu Lang's hand to her chest to slightly alleviate her arousal.

Hearing Pan Feng's cries, Liu Lang's dragon spear was already hard, eager to unleash its power.

Pan Feng, aroused by Liu Lang, could no longer control her desire. Her small hands hastily removed Liu Lang's belt, then grasped his hard dragon spear and brought it to her private parts. Liu Lang then thrust into her…

After their lovemaking, Pan Feng was reluctant to let Liu Lang leave. After resting for a while, she began to entangle herself with him again.

Liu Lang said, "Feng'er! I'm exhausted from these past few days. Why don't we wait until we get to Cheng Shijie's residence, and then we can do it again?"

Hearing this, Pan Feng had no choice but to agree.

After Liu Lang finished dressing, Pan Feng let out a soft breath, nestled in his arms, gently stroking his back, resting her face against his chest, closing her eyes, and revealing a satisfied smile.

Liu Lang patted Pan Feng's shoulder, cupped her cheek with one hand, kissed her, and then pulled away.

Pan Feng felt sweet inside, lying on the embroidered couch, her arms crossed over her chest, squeezing her full breasts while enjoying the afterglow of their passion.

Chapter Three: A Chance Encounter with a Beauty at Santai

Pass The next day, Kou Zhun escorted Liu Lang and his party out of the pass.

On the way, Liu Lang said to Murong Feixue and the other three, "Now, we've passed three of the five passes. Only Santai Pass and Ba County remain. I've thought it through. To be on the safe side and to ensure the plan runs smoothly, sister-in-law and Zi Ruo'er should ride to Ba County now. Ba County is only a little over a hundred li from Taiyuan Prefecture. If Cheng Shijie has already arranged for someone to meet us in Ba County, it will be a huge disadvantage for our plan. So, Zi Ruo'er, you need to arrive in Ba County a day early and find the Rentang Society as soon as possible. I'll have sister-in-law assist you, just in case."

Murong Feixue nodded and said, "That's fine ." "We can avoid any accidents by acting in advance, but Liu Lang, are you capable of handling things once we reach Santai Pass?"

Liu Lang looked at Bai Xuefei and Bai Yunfei and said, "Once we reach Santai Pass, it will all depend on you sisters. I hope Meng Liang and Jiao Zan are on our side."

Bai Yunfei said, "Although we've only met once, they seem to have a sense of loyalty. I think we have a good chance of persuading them." Murong

Feixue was relieved to hear this. Then, Murong Feixue and Zi Ruo'er rode quickly to Ba County, while Liu Lang led the marriage procession on a long journey of a whole day to Santai Pass.

At this time, Chen Yanshou led his team out of the city to welcome Liu Lang and his party.

Liu Lang saw two fierce generals beside Chen Yanshou, one with a face as black as iron and broad shoulders and a thick waist, and the other with a red face and a steel beard, both of whom looked extraordinary. He guessed that they must be Meng Liang and Jiao Zan.

Looking at Chen Yanshou, although he was over fifty and his hair and beard were all white, his physique was as robust as a young man's, and his voice was loud and clear. After paying his respects to Pan Feng, the group entered Santai Pass.

That evening, Chen Yanshou hosted a banquet at his residence for Liu Lang and the others. Before the banquet began, Liu Lang asked Bai Yunfei and her sister to go find Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, while he accompanied Chen Yanshou, listening to him recount the customs and traditions of Shanxi.

Chen Yanshou's son, Chen Zhihao, also came to greet Pan Feng and Liu Lang through Chen Yanshou's introduction.

Liu Lang saw that Chen Zhihao had fair skin and delicate features, but his eyes were dark-rimmed, giving him the appearance of a dissolute young master.

When the banquet was about to begin, Liu Lang noticed that Bai Yunfei and her sister had not yet returned, indicating that they were still discussing matters with Meng Liang and Jiao Zan.

At this moment, Chen Zhihao clapped his hands, and a group of courtesans entered. Some carried pipa, some carried flower drums, and two others, dressed in vibrant colors, immediately began to dance gracefully in the hall, like fairies descending to earth.

Liu Lang observed the two dancing women. They wore identical clothes and covered their stunning faces with pure white veils. The most beautiful woman closest to him had her hair styled high, adorned with a phoenix hairpin, and possessed a slender figure. Her captivating eyes, visible through the veil, cast alluring glances at Liu Lang. With each dance step, her long, cloud-patterned dress, embroidered with various exotic flowers, billowed up, occasionally revealing her legs, as white as mutton-fat jade, which stirred the imagination.

"My lord, please have some wine!"

At this moment, Chen Zhihao stood behind Liu Lang, attentively pouring him wine. Liu Lang, however, paid no attention to Chen Zhihao, his mind clouded by the beautiful woman before him. So, when this stunning beauty, with a graceful bend, drew a gleaming silver soft sword from her waist and thrust it straight at him, Liu Lang suddenly snapped back to reality.

But it was too late. Liu Lang had no time to block. With

a "thud!" he heard a scream and saw Chen Zhihao behind him clutching his arm, retreating in panic.

Seeing that the first sword strike had struck Chen Zhihao but not killed him, the beautiful woman rushed forward and thrust a second sword at him.

Chen Zhihao was no ordinary person. The first strike had only hit him because he was caught off guard. But if an ordinary expert had attacked him, they might not have even been able to touch his clothes. Therefore, from the moment the beautiful woman made her move, Chen Zhihao knew she was no ordinary opponent.

Although Chen Zhihao was caught off guard when the beautiful woman thrust her sword, and the distance was so close that he had no chance to dodge, he relied on his powerful internal energy. When the sword reached his chest, the force of his internal energy clashed with the sword's, causing it to deflect from his chest.

Seeing the beautiful woman miss her target, another dancing woman immediately snatched a steel knife from a nearby guard, let out a delicate cry, and rushed towards Chen Zhihao without hesitation.

Chen Zhihao quickly used his unique skill—the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Step—to dodge the attacks of the two women, shouting angrily, "Who are you? How dare you attempt to assassinate me!"

The woman roared, "You, surnamed Chen, have committed countless evils, humiliating innocent women. Prepare to die!"

She brandished her steel knife, about to form a pincer attack with the beautiful woman, when someone shouted, "You audacious madman, how dare you be so insolent before me! Are you not ready to die?"

Chen Yanshou struck the woman's back with a palm strike. Seeing this, the woman turned to avoid the blow and then attacked Chen Yanshou with her knife.

At this moment, the dancers and musicians had already scattered in fear, while the guards of Chen Yanshou's residence and Liu Lang's attendants drew their weapons and surrounded the two women.

Seeing that the two women weren't targeting him, Liu Lang breathed a sigh of relief. He then thought, "These assassins seem to have a deep grudge against the Chen family father and son. Perhaps I can use them. But I'll observe the situation first."

At that moment, Chen Zhihao took a longsword from a nearby guard. Having a weapon in hand was like adding wings to a tiger for Chen Zhihao, who was already a master swordsman. Moreover, the guards had already surrounded the two female assassins. So Chen Zhihao swiftly thrust at the two female assassins. Midway through, the sword tip suddenly trembled rapidly, flashing with light. The sword, originally aimed at the female assassin's Zigong acupoint in her chest, instantly reached her waist. Judging from the fierce wind of the sword, it was clearly imbued with extremely profound internal energy.

The beautiful woman swiftly parried with her sword, a flash of blue light, and

with a "clang!", blocked Chen Zhihao's sword.

Although Chen Zhihao's arm was injured, relying on his profound skill, he gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and with a sudden burst of cold light, his sharp blade flipped upwards, aiming for the beautiful woman's chest and abdomen. His movements were swift and ruthless, like a dragon soaring from the abyss, like a streak of lightning in the polar regions. In an instant, his sword ring swept across, transforming from a phoenix soaring to a dragon into a powerful warrior wielding an axe, aiming for the beautiful woman's head.

Seeing Chen Zhihao's ruthless attack and lightning-fast sword strike, the beautiful woman hurriedly used the Seven Star Step, retreating rapidly. She unleashed a move called "Thousand Rocks Competing for Beauty," creating a flurry of sword blossoms. Instantly, the sword flames surged, the sword light transforming into a wall of swords like a peacock spreading its tail, clanging like pearls falling onto a jade plate, clashing like cymbals striking each other. She engaged Chen Zhihao in a rapid sword fight, a battle of speed against speed.

However, the beautiful woman's attack revealed her swordsmanship to Chen Zhihao, who shouted, "So it's the Heavenly Mountain Swordsman! What grudge do I hold against you that you dare to come here to assassinate me?"

The beautiful woman spat and said, "A lecher like you, bullying innocent women, deserves to be killed by all the swordsmen of Heavenly Mountain!"

Chen Zhihao snorted and said, "Overestimating yourself. Even if more of you Heavenly Mountain swordsmen came, you couldn't do anything to me!"

As he spoke, his sword flashed like lightning, and Chen Zhihao began to spin rapidly around the beautiful woman. With each spin, his swordsmanship grew faster, the sword light he generated became more dazzling, and the countless sword circles formed by his blade became narrower.

Chen Zhihao's swordsmanship became increasingly strange and dangerous, like climbing Mount Hua, where the higher one climbs, the steeper the path becomes, and the cold killing intent in his sword grows accordingly.

Liu Lang exclaimed in shock, "I never imagined Chen Yanshou's son was so skilled! His swordsmanship is simply unpredictable! I feel like I've seen it somewhere before... That's right! The Willow Granary! When Lord Gu was fighting the Liao army experts, he used a similar swordsmanship. I wonder if he has any connection with the Chen family? And since Chen Zhihao is so powerful, Chen Yanshou must be even more so!"

Liu Lang turned to look at Chen Yanshou, only to see that Chen Yanshou had already stopped fighting, and the other female assassin had been captured by him. Now, Chen Yanshou's men held a knife to her neck, while Chen Yanshou watched Chen Zhihao and the beautiful woman fight with narrowed eyes. It seemed that he had quite a bit of confidence in Chen Zhihao.

Liu Lang couldn't help but worry about the beautiful woman. She was quite strong, and even if she lasted for a hundred moves, she wouldn't be defeated. However, her assassination attempt failed, and seeing her companion captured, her moves were inevitably a bit scattered. Fortunately, the Tianshan swordsmanship was profound and extensive, so she wouldn't be defeated so easily.

At this moment, the stunningly beautiful woman had no intention of fighting Chen Zhihao to the death. Instead, she calmed herself and used the most ferocious Thousand-Turned Falling Petals Sword technique from the Tianshan Swordplay to fight Chen Zhihao, while trying to find an opportunity to rescue her companions

. Liu Lang couldn't help but sigh, thinking: It seems this beauty is unlikely to escape. No! Since they are enemies of the Chen family father and son, they are essentially on my side. I must find a way to help them escape danger.

Although Chen Zhihao had never experienced the Thousand-Turned Falling Petals Sword before, he knew that this sword technique was spiral-shaped, becoming increasingly dangerous and ruthless with each turn, and was created based on the winding mountain paths of the Tianshan Rhinoceros Peak.

All Chen Zhihao saw was a rain of shimmering, starlight-like sword shadows, the blades trembling and emitting a cold, whistling wind, making his body feel as if it were bound by silver ropes.

At this moment, Chen Zhihao was cornered by the Thousand Falling Petals Sword technique, on the verge of death. The beautiful woman could threaten his life with a mere flick of her wrist and a press of her blade.

Chen Zhihao was instantly covered in sweat, his expression one of terror and horror. He could barely see the beautiful woman's swordplay anymore; his shoulders, legs, waist, and chest were all slashed by the blade, blood splattering everywhere.

Seeing Chen Zhihao's perilous situation, Chen Yanshou roared, "Useless thing! You haven't even learned a fraction of my swordsmanship!"

Seeing Chen Yanshou's furious expression and his impending attack on the beautiful woman, Liu Lang felt a surge of anxiety.

Suddenly, Chen Yanshou spun around, a white light flashing beside him. It was impossible to tell if he held a sword or not; a large blue ball was thrown out, instantly transforming into hundreds of flying swords that trapped the beautiful woman in a net of blades.

The stunningly beautiful woman, preoccupied with fending off Chen Yanshou's attacks, revealed fear in her eyes. She hastily used the Seven Star Steps, employing the strongest defense of the Tianshan Sword Control Technique—Buddha's Light Sword Shadow—to deflect the blade. A series of clanging sounds rang out, followed by a cry of alarm, and she was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

Just as the guards were about to seize her, she suddenly sprang to her feet, her sword flashing, and she instantly felled four or five guards.

Liu Lang saw that the beautiful woman's mouth was streaked with blood, her clothes were pierced in several places by Chen Yanshou, she had a sword wound in her waist and leg, and her shoulder was torn open by the sword's energy, revealing half of her fair shoulder, though not directly injured.

Realizing that continuing the fight would not only prevent her from saving her companions, but she herself would also be unable to escape, the beautiful woman cried out, "Lühua, I will definitely come to save you!"

With that, she gritted her teeth and charged towards the door.

"Sister Yan! Don't worry about me, you should go!"

At this moment, the stunningly beautiful woman unleashed the strongest attack technique of the Tianshan Sword Control, carving a bloody path through the enemy lines.

Chen Zhihao roared angrily, "You assassin, do you think you can escape?"

With that, Chen Zhihao drew his sword and gave chase.

Liu Lang thought to himself: This Chen Zhihao's martial arts are not weak. Even when he was injured, he was still able to hold his own against this beauty. Now that she is seriously injured, her chances of survival are slim.

Thinking of this, Liu Lang also quietly followed.

The stunningly beautiful woman was in front, Chen Zhihao was behind, and Liu Lang followed closely behind them. Chen Yanshou, fearing that Chen Zhihao might have suffered some mishap, was about to give chase when he heard Pan Feng say, "General Chen, you scared me to death! Quickly, get me out of here."

Considering Pan Feng's safety, and knowing that the stunningly beautiful woman had been hit by his three sword strikes and one palm strike, she probably couldn't defeat Chen Zhihao. So Chen Yanshou stopped and led his men to escort Pan Feng back to the inn, assigning Meng Liang and Jiao Zan to protect her closely.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan had just finished discussing matters with the Bai Yunfei sisters and hadn't witnessed the assassination. This sudden turn of events surprised the sisters, who assumed the Flying Eagle Hall was causing trouble again and increased their vigilance.

Meanwhile, Liu Lang followed Chen Zhihao and the beautiful woman away from Chen Yanshou's residence. Although injured, the beautiful woman was still agile, weaving through the streets and alleys before exiting through the west gate.

Liu Lang, unaccustomed to light-body techniques, struggled to keep up with the beautiful woman, but the thought of her serious injuries and the potential humiliation she would suffer if captured by Chen Zhihao spurred him on. He gritted his teeth and desperately chased after her. Fortunately, his internal strength was profound, and he felt no fatigue.

Night deepened, a bright moon hung in the sky, and a cool breeze blew.

Outside the western city, the mountains were high and the forests dense. The beautiful woman, due to her serious injuries, gradually slowed down after running for a while. After passing through a pine forest, she ran up the mountain.

When Liu Lang caught up with her, the beautiful woman and Chen Zhihao had already disappeared, but after looking at the footprints on the ground, Liu Lang ran up the mountain.

The stunningly beautiful woman was running when suddenly everything went black. She stumbled and fell to the ground. Just as she was about to get up, Chen Zhihao had already caught up, his longsword poised at her chest. He sneered, "Still trying to run? Tell me, who are you? Why are you trying to assassinate me?"

The beautiful woman snorted and said, "Didn't I tell you? Scoundrels like you who humiliate innocent women deserve to be killed by all the swordsmen of Tianshan."

Chen Zhihao thrust his sword forward again, the tip aimed at the beautiful woman's chest, and said viciously, "You bastard, I am an official of the imperial court. Do you think you can just kill me as you please? I think you have a death wish!"

The beautiful woman raised an eyebrow and cursed, "Scoundrel! Kill me if you want, stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Zhihao said, "Fine, then I'll grant your wish!"

With that, Chen Zhihao raised his longsword to stab her.

The stunningly beautiful woman closed her eyes, feeling a cool sensation on her chest, but no pain. She opened her eyes and saw that Chen Zhihao had ripped open her bodice with his sword, revealing her full breasts trembling beneath her pale yellow undergarment.

"W-what are you doing?"

the woman cried out in terror, her eyes widening. She was about to fight back when Chen Zhihao struck her pressure points and removed her veil.

Chen Zhihao sneered, "Little beauty, you're truly stunning! It would be such a waste to let you die like this! How about I play with you for a while..."

With that, Chen Zhihao reached out and touched the woman.

The stunningly beautiful woman was immediately terrified and tried to dodge, but because her pressure points had been sealed, she couldn't move at all and screamed, "No! Let me go..."

Chen Zhihao planted his longsword in the ground, removed the woman's bodice, and saw her high, snow-white breasts trembling, the deep cleavage making Chen Zhihao swallow hard. He then reached out to remove his own clothes.

At this moment, a voice came: "Young Master Chen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Zhihao was startled and instinctively gripped his longsword. He turned around and saw Liu Lang behind him.

Liu Lang was too slow; if he hadn't heard the woman's scream, he probably wouldn't have found her.

Seeing the woman about to be violated, Liu Lang immediately stepped forward. Seeing Chen Zhihao's fierce expression and sword in hand, he thought: This kid's martial arts are very powerful; I might not be able to defeat him. It's best not to fight him head-on, but to outsmart him.

Upon seeing that it was Liu Lang, Chen Zhihao couldn't help but wonder: Why has the Imperial Envoy come after me? Is this female assassin related to him?

Seeing Chen Zhihao's apparent suspicion, Liu Lang smiled and said, "So Young Master Chen has already captured the assassin? Then I'm relieved! You know, I escorted the princess to Shanxi, and I was terrified by assassins along the way. Someone as ignorant and arrogant as her doesn't need to be reported to the court; I'll take charge and execute her on the spot."

Hearing this, Chen Zhihao relaxed considerably, cupped his hands, and smiled, "This assassin is indeed despicable, but I've already captured her. Please, Imperial Envoy, decide what to do with her."

After speaking, Chen Zhihao looked at Liu Lang meaningfully.

Liu Lang thought to himself: Trying to read my expressions? You really have guts. Thinking this, Liu Lang said, "Kill! Kill! Kill! There's no room for hesitation."

With that, Liu Lang walked up to the stunningly beautiful woman, glanced at her, and said, "This young lady is so alluring!"

Chen Zhihao, hearing this, was secretly delighted and said, "Sir, you think so too?"

Liu Lang cursed inwardly: Damn it, I've had my eye on her for a long time.

Liu Lang smiled slightly, squatted down, reached out and touched the stunningly beautiful woman's face, then blew a breath onto her chest.

Chen Zhihao said, "My lord, isn't it a bit of a waste to execute her like this?"

The stunningly beautiful woman cursed, "You two corrupt officials, you bastards!"

Liu Lang laughed, "Indeed, it's a waste. How about..."

As he spoke, Liu Lang glanced around and said to Chen Zhihao, "Since there's no one here, let's just take care of this beauty and throw her off the cliff. But don't tell anyone about this."

Chen Zhihao happily replied, "This humble official understands. Then..."

Liu Lang naturally knew what Chen Zhihao meant—he wanted to know who should go first. Liu Lang originally wanted Chen Zhihao to stay aside so he could rescue the stunningly beautiful woman. However, Liu Lang discovered that the stunningly beautiful woman was not only injured but also had her pressure points sealed, and he couldn't unseal them. If it dragged on, Chen Zhihao would inevitably become suspicious. And once they started fighting, although he wasn't afraid of the young man, he couldn't guarantee the stunningly beautiful woman's safety. So he turned around and said, "Young Master Chen, you captured this beauty, so of course you go first!"

Chen Zhihao was overjoyed, but still declined, saying, "Your Excellency is an imperial envoy serving the Emperor, so... Your Excellency should go first."

Liu Lang shook his head, saying, "No, no, precisely because I work for the Emperor, I must be fair and just. Whoever has made the greatest contribution should be rewarded. Young Master Chen, please don't be so polite!"

Seeing Liu Lang and Chen Zhihao pushing each other back and forth, the stunningly beautiful woman was so angry she almost fainted, trembling as she cursed, "You two corrupt officials, I will haunt you even in death!" "Waaah!"

Seeing Chen Zhihao's constant refusals, Liu Lang said with displeasure, "Young Master Chen, I sincerely want to learn your secrets to conquering beauties. Your hesitant manner is truly disappointing."

Seeing Liu Lang's anger, Chen Zhihao quickly replied, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer. As for learning, I dare not presume; let's consider it a friendly exchange!"

With that, Chen Zhihao again thrust his longsword into the ground, leering as he walked towards the stunningly beautiful woman who was half-lying on the ground.

Upon seeing her snow-white, soft, and alabaster-like breasts, Chen Zhihao was captivated.

Just as Chen Zhihao reached out to remove the pale yellow bodice covering the beautiful woman's chest, he heard a "whoosh!" behind him

, followed by a long sword piercing his back, the tip protruding from his front.

Chen Zhihao turned around angrily, shouting at Liu Lang, "You actually ambushed me?"

With that, Chen Zhihao lunged at Liu Lang with all his might.

Seeing this, Liu Lang dodged to the side, channeling his power into his palm, unleashing the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Technique. A bolt of purple lightning struck Chen Zhihao, throwing him high into the air. With a scream, Chen Zhihao tumbled down the cliff beside him.

At this moment, Liu Lang squatted down beside the stunningly beautiful woman and said with a smile, "Miss, I'm sorry to have startled you!"

The stunningly beautiful woman had witnessed Liu Lang kill Chen Zhihao, but she couldn't believe it was true. She asked in surprise, "You corrupt official, what are you doing?"

Liu Lang said unhappily, "I've already killed the corrupt official. The person standing in front of you now is your savior."

The stunningly beautiful woman said, "We're not cut from the same cloth. Don't try to fool me with your pretense."

Liu Lang said, "How can you say that? I kindly saved you, and you scold me instead?"

The stunningly beautiful woman's face flushed red. She said, "If you weren't a corrupt official, why are you staring at my chest?"

Liu Lang suddenly realized. He noticed a faint purplish-black tinge on the stunningly beautiful woman's face, indicating that she had suffered internal injuries. In addition, due to the slight trembling of the stunningly beautiful woman's body, her pale yellow bodice had slipped down to reveal a faint dark handprint on her high, jade-like breasts. The edge of the fist had turned light purple, indicating that there was already bruising.

Looking at the half-naked beauty, Liu Lang could only suppress his lust and pretend to be serious, saying, "Miss, don't judge me by my own standards! I didn't mean to look at your chest, but I saw that you were injured and wanted to check on your injury. It must be quite serious."

The beauty saw that although Liu Lang said this, his lustful eyes were hard to hide, especially the bulge in his pants, which revealed his lecherous desire.

"You... close your eyes, you can't look anymore!"

Liu Lang said, "Your injury is very serious! Look how much blood you've lost..."

As he spoke, Liu Lang bent down to tend to the beauty's wound.

At this moment, the stunningly beautiful woman was completely powerless. She knew she had lost too much blood, and even without being acupunctured, she was powerless to resist if Liu Lang really wanted to violate her. However, seeing that Liu Lang seemed to have no intention of touching her and appeared to genuinely care about her injuries, she softened her tone and said, "I don't need your help, you just need to help me release the acupuncture points!"

Liu Lang said with difficulty, "I don't know how to release acupuncture points!"

The stunningly beautiful woman said angrily, "You, you're deliberately trying to make a fool of me!"

Liu Lang sighed, "I really don't know how!"

The stunningly beautiful woman said shyly, "If you really don't know how, then forget it! At least help me put on my clothes!"

"Of course, no problem!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang picked up the pale yellow bodice, and instantly two full, snow-white breasts were exposed before his eyes.

The stunningly beautiful woman was both ashamed and angry, crying out, "I asked you to help me put on my clothes, but you took them off! Waaah! You're clearly taking advantage of me!"

Liu Lang quickly explained, "To tell you the truth, although I hold a high position, I'm not married yet. I know absolutely nothing about women's things, especially this little garment. I really don't know how to help you put it on without studying it carefully."

The stunningly beautiful woman said, "Then... just cover me up with the clothes."

Hearing this, Liu Lang... A pale yellow corset was draped over her full breasts, but her long, cloud-patterned dress, embroidered with various exotic flowers, was rolled up to her waist. This action caused the stunning beauty to scream again, and Liu Lang quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't scream, look how much blood you've lost..."

The stunning beauty looked down and saw two sword wounds, one in her lower back and one in the side of her right thigh. Although the wounds were not serious, because they were not bandaged, blood was flowing profusely, staining half of her dress and her entire leg red. She said, "Men and women should not touch each other, I won't trouble you." "

Sixth Brother said, "I can't just stand by and watch you die. Besides, I inadvertently saw your body just now; I've already offended you."

Saying this, Sixth Brother tore off a sleeve of his clothes and ripped it into strips, asking, "Do you have any wound medicine on you?"

The beautiful woman nodded and said, "I have some in my purse, in a small white porcelain bottle."

Sixth Brother reached into the purse at the beautiful woman's waist, found the small white porcelain bottle, and poured some powdered medicine into his palm. Then he applied the medicine to her wound and bandaged it. Another wound was below her lower back, so Liu Lang turned her over and saw the bleeding wound hidden inside her underwear. He thought, "I've taken such good care of you, yet you scold me. Now it's my turn to get revenge..." With that thought, Liu Lang pulled down the beautiful woman's underwear...

The beautiful woman, seeing her underwear pulled down by a strange man until most of her buttocks were exposed, couldn't blame him. She was truly suffering in silence! Then she saw Liu Lang place the medicine powder in his palm and knead her buttocks, feeling incredibly shy.

When the beautiful woman looked at Liu Lang, their eyes met, and a blush involuntarily rose on her face before she lowered her head.

Liu Lang asked, "Miss, does it still hurt? Should I rub it a little longer?"

The beautiful woman blushed and said, "No need, please help me... get dressed."

Liu Lang said, "Alright! But since I've helped you, can you at least tell me your name?"

Seeing that the beautiful woman was biting her lip and refusing to speak, Liu Lang laughed and said, "I heard your companion call you Sister Yan, so I'll call you Yanzi!"

The beautiful woman asked, "How is Lü Hua now? Please don't make things difficult for her."

Liu Lang said, "I will handle this impartially when I get back, but why did you try to assassinate the Chen family father and son?"

The beautiful woman did not answer. Liu Lang knew that she still did not believe him. Just as he was about to tell her his identity, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and then a heavy rain began to fall.

Liu Lang hurriedly said, "This is terrible! Your wound will get infected if it gets wet in the rain. I have to see this through to the end!"

With that, Liu Lang scooped up the beautiful woman in his arms, saying, "Yanzi, I'm sorry, I have to carry you to find shelter from the rain."

The beautiful woman blushed and let Liu Lang carry her down the mountain. There happened to be a small earth god temple at the foot of the mountain.

Liu Lang ran into the temple, wiped the rain from his head, and said, "Yanzi, I'll put you on the table so you don't catch a cold."

At this moment, the beautiful woman felt dizzy, probably from the blow Chen Yanshou had struck her, coupled with the lack of timely treatment, causing a blood clot in her chest, putting her life in danger.

Seeing that the beautiful woman's face was pale and her breathing weak, Liu Lang quickly lit a candle. He then saw that the dark handprint on her chest was becoming increasingly clear, indicating that she had suffered severe internal injuries.

However, Liu Lang didn't know how to heal his injuries through internal energy cultivation; he only knew how to increase his inner strength through dual cultivation. But if he mentioned this method, the beautiful woman would definitely resist to the death. Yet, he couldn't just watch her die. Liu Lang anxiously asked, "Yanzi, your injuries are so severe, do you have any ideas?" The

beautiful woman shook her head and slowly closed her eyes.

Liu Lang thought: She's clearly on the verge of unconsciousness, completely at my mercy, but for some reason, I can't bring myself to do it. But if this drags on, she might die! Thinking this, Liu Lang steeled his heart, thinking: To save her, I can't worry about anything else, I'll just go for it!

At this moment, Liu Lang lifted the long skirt of the beautiful woman, pulling it up to her waist. Then, he ripped it down with both hands, tearing her underpants to the ground and revealing her snow-white and smooth legs. Liu Lang then spread her legs apart, exposing her private parts.

Although the beautiful woman couldn't stop Liu Lang's actions, she was still conscious and knew what he wanted to do. She felt anxious and said, "No! Please, don't do this to me."

Liu Lang sighed and said, "Yanzi, it's not that I want to take advantage of you, but your injuries are serious. If you don't receive timely treatment, you might lose your life. I'm doing this to save you. I have powerful energy, but I can only transfer it to you through sexual intercourse. This way, you can not only save your life but also unblock your acupoints. If I have any intention of deceiving you, may I die a horrible death! Forgive me!"

With that, Liu Lang hugged the beautiful woman tightly.

The stunningly beautiful woman let out a soft moan, her body trembling violently. She struggled fiercely, but how could she possibly overcome Liu Lang's strength?

Liu Lang, captivated by her shy and alluring appearance, was mesmerized. Her large, watery eyes held a hint of sorrow and pleading, her small, red lips glistening with a mixture of anger and something else. Between her legs, only a sparse patch of pubic hair concealed her delicate, tender opening, which was gradually welling with lustful fluid.

Liu Lang looked down at her opening, his heart pounding. He couldn't resist bringing his dragon spear closer, but since she was a virgin, he couldn't penetrate her easily. He could only patiently lift himself up, caressing her with both hands. The beautiful woman trembled slightly; after all, she was still a virgin, and such a thing was something she had never even considered before. A blush spread across her face to her ears, tears welled in her eyes, and her expression held a touch of fear.

"Mmm..."

The stunningly beautiful woman twisted her slender waist, trying to escape Liu Lang's caresses, but her severe injuries gradually weakened her, leaving her only able to endure his touch. She bit her lower lip, and her lower body slowly became wet.

At this moment, taking advantage of the wetness, Liu Lang inserted his dragon spear into her body...

The stunningly beautiful woman cried out in pain, her soul seemingly thrown into the clouds. Her head involuntarily tilted back, her expression one of utter disorientation. She realized that her precious virginity had been taken!

Liu Lang's dragon spear slowly penetrated her wet and secret place. He could feel the warm, tender flesh enveloping his spear, which intoxicated him. But saving her was paramount, and he had no time to savor the moment. When he saw the pain on the stunningly beautiful woman's face gradually lessen, and she swayed her hips, her breasts heaving violently, emitting soul-stirring moans, Liu Lang couldn't help but tremble. He then tightly embraced her and ejaculated deep into her body.

At this moment, Liu Lang noticed the beautiful woman's body tremble slightly, followed by spasms before finally calming down. He quickly stopped and asked, "Yanzi, did you feel it?"

The beautiful woman blushed and remained silent, seemingly healing herself.

Seeing this, Liu Lang didn't disturb her. After dressing himself, he helped her put on her lower garments, thinking, "I was so focused on our cultivation that I forgot to kiss this beauty!" With that thought, Liu Lang smiled and moved closer to the beautiful woman. Seeing her blushing face as she looked at him, he felt an overwhelming surge of love for her.

Suddenly, the beautiful woman's fingers twitched, aiming a thrust at Liu Lang's chest.

Liu Lang cried out "Ouch!" before he could even dodge, and the stunningly beautiful woman had already struck his pressure points. Although shocked, he still gently asked, "Yanzi, are you finished circulating your energy?"

The beautiful woman snorted, ignoring Liu Lang, and sat up to straighten herself. Liu Lang noticed the dark palm print on her open collar was gradually blurring and said, "Yanzi, it's good you're alright. But after what happened, we're husband and wife now, you don't need to be so wary of me, do you?"

The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Liu Lang and said, "Who said we're husband and wife? You took advantage of me while I was paralyzed, I'm going to get revenge on you."

Liu Lang saw the beautiful woman's... Although the beautiful woman spoke harshly, her eyes showed no trace of hatred. Knowing she was using this opportunity to vent her frustration at his taking her, she said, "Hey, are you even being reasonable? If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have done this. You know I'm an imperial envoy appointed by the Emperor, and yet I'm having relations with a vulgar woman like you… Alas! My lifelong integrity is ruined because of you. But saving a life is a great act of kindness. I don't ask for your lifelong gratitude or even your body in return; I only ask that you let me leave."

The beautiful woman trembled upon hearing this and said, "You slippery little devil! You've taken my body, and you expect me to be grateful?"

Liu Lang quickly replied, "No, I really…" "There's an urgent matter, I need to get back immediately. I've already killed Chen Zhihao for you, don't you trust me?"

Seeing the beautiful woman frowning, deep in thought, Liu Lang suddenly remembered something and said, "You're a swordswoman from Tianshan, so let me mention someone you should know."

The beautiful woman asked, "Who?"

Liu Lang said, "Her surname is Chai, her weapon is a Red Star Fan, with a hidden blade inside, and her martial arts are unfathomable."

The beautiful woman exclaimed in surprise, "You mean Senior Brother Chai? How do you know Senior Brother Chai?"

Liu Lang was secretly delighted upon hearing this, and seeing that the beautiful woman didn't know Chai Mingge's identity, he quickly said, "More than just knowing him, we're like-minded comrades-in-arms."

The beautiful woman... Ren Wang said, "Nonsense! Senior Brother Chai is a noble and upright man, unlike you, a lecherous woman who only knows how to bully girls. How could Senior Brother Chai possibly share your ideals?"

Liu Lang chuckled, "If you don't believe me, fine, I'll make you believe me someday. But seeing how nervous you are when I mention your Senior Brother Chai, you don't actually like him, do you?"

Liu Lang's question struck a chord deep within the beautiful woman. The thought that her feelings for Senior Brother Chai were unrequited, and now that she had lost her virginity to Liu Lang, she feared she would have to give up any hope of marrying him. A surge of resentment welled up within her, and she immediately raised her hand to strike Liu Lang's face.

Liu Lang was startled. Knowing that the beautiful woman's martial arts were already formidable, and that their recent dual cultivation had undoubtedly enhanced her skills, he was certain that if he were struck by this blow, he would die!

At this moment, Liu Lang involuntarily closed his eyes and heard a loud sound, followed by a sharp pain on his right cheek. However, Liu Lang felt a surge of joy, for as the saying goes, "A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love!"

It seemed that the beautiful woman no longer blamed him.

After beating Liu Lang, the beautiful woman suddenly covered her face with her hands and began to cry.

Liu Lang quickly said, "Yanzi, don't cry! Seeing you like this makes me so sad! I've already told you, your Senior Brother Chai and I are truly good friends. Besides, my purpose in coming to Shanxi this time is ostensibly to escort the princess to a marriage alliance, but in reality, I'm secretly investigating evidence of Cheng Shijie's rebellion. If the evidence is conclusive, I will execute him on the spot. When I saw you were about to assassinate Chen Yanshou, I figured you must be their enemy, and since that's the case, you must be on my side. That's why I secretly saved you and helped you kill Chen Zhihao. Don't you believe me even now?"

The beautiful woman raised her head and said to Liu Lang, "Whether I believe you or not, we'll talk about it later! But you did kill Chen Zhihao, so why did you flirt with me?"

Liu Lang said helplessly, "I had no choice. You know Chen Zhihao's martial arts skills. I was afraid that if I couldn't defeat him, I would implicate you, and then your innocence would be in jeopardy!"

The beautiful woman snorted and said, "Isn't it the same now, being..." As she

spoke, the beautiful woman's face flushed red.

Liu Lang quickly said, "Heaven and earth bear witness! The reason I did that with you was to save you. Besides, everything I said is true. You should have felt the power I transferred to you, otherwise how could you have recovered from the plague so quickly?"

The stunningly beautiful woman felt a chill run down her spine, thinking: "That's true. After making love with him, I never imagined I could absorb such powerful energy. Even if I cultivated diligently for three or five years, I might not be able to do that.

" Liu Lang said, "Good Yanzi, quickly release my acupoints! My hands and feet are numb!"

"Don't call me Yanzi!"

Liu Lang exclaimed in surprise. "I clearly heard your companion call you Sister Yan. Tell me, what should I call you?"

"My name is Miao Xueyan! The 'Yan' of 'wild goose,' not the 'Yan' of 'little swallow.'"

Liu Lang chuckled, "That's all the same. You'll be my Yanzi from now on anyway."

Miao Xueyan's face turned pale with anger. She retorted, "Who's yours? Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Lang said, "You're clearly an unmarried young woman. Now that you've given yourself to me, what will you do if I don't want you?"

Miao Xueyan was both ashamed and angry. She said, "It's none of your business. To tell you the truth, I'm now...someone else's fiancée. Don't even dream about it!" Liu

Lang was stunned. He saw Miao Xueyan... Her face was streaked with tears, her expression full of sorrow. He guessed she must have some unspeakable hardship, and a feeling of pity welled up within him. He whispered, "Yanzi, did I say something harsh? Did I hurt you? If you don't like me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Miao Xueyan calmed herself and said, "My cousin is still in Chen Yanshou's hands. If you truly want to help me, then take care of her for me. If anything happens to her, I will not forgive you."

Liu Lang quickly replied, "Of course, your cousin is my cousin too. You can rest assured."

Miao Xueyan said, "If Chen Yanshou..." Knowing his son was dead, he would definitely try to harm my cousin. Sigh! Unfortunately, I have important matters to attend to. Please stop arguing with me, okay? As long as this matter is resolved, I will…accept you!”

Liu Lang said happily, “So you agree to marry me?”

Miao Xueyan said anxiously, “You’re at it again! I’ve already said it! I’m already someone else’s fiancée, and we’re getting married soon…”

Seeing Miao Xueyan’s displeasure, Liu Lang didn’t dare press further and instead asked, “Then why did you assassinate Chen Yanshou?”

Miao Xueyan said, “Chen Zhihao forcibly took my cousin…” "My sister-in-law was raped and then sold to a brothel. Later, unable to bear the humiliation, she committed suicide by hitting her head against a wall. I originally had important matters to attend to and didn't plan to avenge my cousin right now, but I couldn't resist her repeated pleas, so I agreed! I thought the Chen family father and son were just ordinary corrupt officials, but I didn't expect them to be sword masters. My ten years of hard-earned Tianshan sword technique was no match for them. If it weren't for your rescue, Bai, I would have missed my own important business!"

Liu Lang vaguely sensed that there seemed to be more hidden stories behind Miao Xueyan, but she was unwilling to tell him.

Just then, Miao Xueyan finished dressing and was about to leave when Liu Lang hurriedly said, "Hey! Yanzi, even if you're leaving, you should release the pressure points on my body before you go!"

Miao Xueyan coldly replied, "I told you, I have very important matters to attend to. I'm afraid you'll follow me, so you'd better watch yourself! The pressure points will automatically release in an hour."

Liu Lang saw that Miao Xueyan had already reached the door as she spoke. She suddenly turned back, her clear eyes looking at him with a hint of tenderness.

Liu Lang quickly asked, "What's your cousin's name? If I don't know her name, she might not believe me."

Miao Xueyan said, "Zhang Lühua! Remember to take good care of her!"

With that, Miao Xueyan vanished through the doorway. Liu

Lang suddenly felt a void in his heart and couldn't help but sigh. But when he recalled the passionate moment he had just shared with Miao Xueyan, he felt a surge of pleasure! After all, this was the fastest he had ever ejaculated, and her lingering fragrance was still on his body. But in the end, Liu Lang could only shake his head and smile bitterly, waiting for his acupoints to release on their own.

Chapter Four:

The Assassin's rampage at Chen Yanshou's residence enraged Chen Yanshou, but since Chen Zhihao and Liu Lang were still missing, he had no choice but to temporarily imprison Zhang Lühua.

Meanwhile, Bai Yunfei and her sister were in secret conversation with Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, so when they appeared, Liu Lang had already chased after them. At first, Bai Yunfei and her sister weren't worried about Liu Lang, but later, upon hearing that the female assassin was a powerful swordswoman from Tianshan, they began to worry about him.

After waiting most of the night, Bai Yunfei and her sister still hadn't seen Liu Lang return and couldn't sleep peacefully. They tossed and turned in their room, unable to sleep. Then, seeing that the rain had stopped, they went outside the city to look for Liu Lang, only to find him mysteriously entering.

Actually, Liu Lang had been back for a while, but he went to see Chen Yanshou first and told him that because his lightness skill was not good, he lost the chase halfway. Then, seeing that it was raining, he had no choice but to return. After that, Liu Lang took his leave and then came to see Bai Yunfei and her sister.

Bai Yunfei hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liu Lang take off his wet clothes, exclaiming in surprise, "Liulang, where are the sleeves on your clothes?"

Liu Lang laughed and said, "Because the battle was so intense, the sleeves were knocked off!"

Bai Yunfei handed him a towel and helped Liu Lang wipe the rain off his body, saying, "Husband, who was the assassin?"

Liu Lang said, "I don't know their identities, but they seemed to be at odds with Chen Yanshou. I've already dealt with them. My two wives, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

As he spoke, Liu Lang pulled Bai Yunfei into his arms and kissed her.

Bai Yunfei said, "Sixth Brother, we were all so worried! If it hadn't been raining so hard, we would have come to find you."

Bai Xuefei said, "I've taken care of everything you asked us to do."

The next day, Sixth Brother was woken up by Bai Yunfei, who said, "Sixth Brother, Chen Yanshou has sent someone to invite you to his residence for a meeting."

Sixth Brother opened his eyes and said, "He must be anxious because his son hasn't returned, so he wants to ask me about the situation. Go and fetch Meng Liang and Jiao Zan; I have some questions for them later."

When Sixth Brother arrived at Chen Yanshou's residence, Chen Yanshou was severely torturing Zhang Lühua. She had been tortured all night, looking haggard, her clothes torn to shreds from the whipping, and her body covered in bloodstains.

Sixth Brother thought: I can't let them continue beating Zhang Lühua, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Miao Xueyan later! Thinking of this, Liu Lang said to Chen Yanshou, "General Chen, has your son not returned yet?"

Chen Yanshou replied, "It's driving me crazy! My useless son must have been captured by these people, otherwise he wouldn't be still not back. That brat is so stubborn; I've been torturing her all night, and she hasn't said a single word."

Liu Lang ordered the thugs to stop, saying, "General Chen, I see you know absolutely nothing about dealing with women! The way you're beating her will surely kill her, but once she's dead, who will you get the whereabouts of your son from? Here's what we'll do: hand her over to me." "I guarantee I can make her submit within an hour and reveal the location of the thieves' lair, so we can take men to rescue your son."

Chen Yanshou looked at Liu Lang with some doubt and asked, "Is that alright?"

Liu Lang said, "It seems you don't trust me?"

Chen Yanshou quickly replied, "This humble general wouldn't dare. Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency. Where are Meng Liang and Jiao Zan

?" Meng Liang and Jiao Zan stepped out from the side and said, "What are your orders

, General?" Chen Yanshou said, "Take this female assassin with you and submit to Your Excellency's judgment. I'll rest for a while. Inform me immediately if there's any news."

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan accepted the order and escorted Zhang Lühua to Liu Lang's residence.

At this time, Liu Lang instructed the soldiers who had come from the general's mansion to stay outside and keep a close watch. He then led Meng Liang and Jiao Zan into the house, where they happened to run into the Bai Yunfei sisters.

Seeing that Liu Lang had brought Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, Bai Yunfei and her sister no longer needed to go looking for them.

After entering the room, Liu Lang immediately ordered Bai Yunfei and her sister to untie the ropes binding Zhang Lühua.

Zhang Lühua didn't know what Liu Lang was up to, but having endured torture all night, she was very weak and could only submit to his will.

Liu Lang said to Zhang Lühua, "Don't be afraid, your cousin Miao Xueyan asked me to come and save you."

Zhang Lühua was startled and was about to ask Liu Lang something when he waved his hand and said, "You're very weak right now. Yunfei! Help her apply some medicine, and Xuefei, go to the kitchen and get a bowl of porridge to feed her."

Bai Yunfei was puzzled; why was Liu Lang being so kind to her?

Bai Yunfei helped Zhang Lühua sit down on the bed, looking her over. She saw that Zhang Lühua had red lips and white teeth, was petite and charming, and quite lovely. While she was beautiful, she couldn't compare to Bai Yunfei or Bai Xuefei. Reassured, she said, "Sister, don't be fooled by my men's clothes; I'm a woman. Now I'm going to apply medicine for you, don't be afraid."

Seeing Zhang Lühua still somewhat doubtful, Bai Yunfei took her hand and placed it on her chest, kneading her extremely full breasts…

Seeing this overly erotic scene, Liu Lang, fearing Meng Liang and Jiao Zan might peek, quickly blocked their view, saying, "Generals…" " Let's talk outside,"

said Liu Lang. "Gentlemen, my wife says you are old friends. Now that a great enemy is at hand, let's get straight to the point. We must eliminate Chen Yanshou before we can proceed with the next step of our plan!"

Meng Liang said, "Whatever you say, we'll do!"

Liu Lang said, "We'll eliminate Chen Yanshou first, and then you will take command of the troops at Santai Pass. I already have a plan to eliminate Chen Yanshou, so just follow the plan, understand?"

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan replied in unison, "Understood!"

Liu Lang then explained the entire plan and told Meng Liang and Jiao Zan to prepare immediately.

Liu Lang approached Zhang Lühua and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhang Lühua nodded and asked, "Why did you save me?"

Liu Lang replied, "Didn't I tell you? Your cousin, Miao Xueyan, asked me to save you."

Zhang Lühua then asked, "How do you know my cousin?"

Liu Lang couldn't very well tell Zhang Lühua and the others that he had slept with Miao Xueyan, so he could only say, "Because I know one of your cousin's fellow disciples, and after we were introduced, we got to know each other."

Zhang Lühua then asked, "Where is my cousin now?"

Liu Lang said, "She said she has important business to attend to and needs to go take care of it first."

Zhang Lühua nodded. She said, "My cousin did have something important to do. This time, she almost delayed something important because she was helping me. Alas, I really hate that I'm not capable enough to avenge my brother and sister-in-law."

Liu Lang laughed and said, "Your cousin and I have already avenged you. Chen Zhihao is dead!"

Zhang Lühua asked in surprise, "Really?"

Liu Lang said, "I would never lie to a girl. Besides, do you want to get rid of Chen Yanshou as well?"

Zhang Lühua said, "Chen Yanshou let his son commit murder, forcing my brother and sister-in-law to their deaths. Of course, I want him dead, but... he is highly skilled in martial arts. It will be very difficult to kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lang explained his plan to deal with Chen Yanshou.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lühua nodded repeatedly. After listening, she stood up from the bed and knelt down before Liu Lang with a thud, saying, "My benefactor, if it weren't for you helping me avenge my brother and sister-in-law, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to avenge my brother and sister-in-law, and I wouldn't even have had a chance to live. I don't know how to repay your great kindness!"

Liu Lang chuckled and said, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Just do me a favor later. We'll go and carry out that plan now."

Outside the door, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan had already gathered two hundred elite soldiers awaiting orders.

Seeing Liu Lang come out, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan stepped forward and said, "Sir, everything is ready! These are all our trusted men, now awaiting your orders."

Liu Lang said, "Well done!"

Then, Liu Lang summoned Pan Bao and ordered him to protect Pan Feng's safety.

Liu Lang, along with Meng Liang and his group, went to see Chen Yanshou.

Upon hearing from Liu Lang that the female assassin had confessed, Chen Yanshou was overjoyed. Seeing Zhang Lühua's submissive and frightened appearance, he asked, "Your Excellency, how did you get this girl to confess?"

Liu Lang pulled Chen Yanshou aside and said, "This is my closely guarded secret; don't tell anyone! I asked her if she would talk, and when she said no, I found a large water snake and was about to throw it into her pants. Of course, a little girl like her would be terrified."

Chen Yanshou laughed heartily, "Your Excellency is truly brilliant!"

Liu Lang then said, "General Chen..." "Soldier, let's go to the location she confessed to, wipe out the bandit's lair, and rescue your son."

Chen Yanshou said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency. I'll go prepare the troops immediately!"

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan hurriedly replied, "Sir, the troops are ready."

Chen Yanshou was anxious to save his son and didn't have time to think carefully. He hurriedly said, "Let's set off immediately!"

Zhang Lühua, following Liu Lang's instructions, led Chen Yanshou and the others to the local temple outside the city. However, as soon as they arrived, they heard from the people that a male corpse had been found in a valley, and two government officials were on their way. Upon

hearing this, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan escorted Zhang Lühua to lead the way, while Chen Yanshou, anxious and impatient, quickly arrived at the valley and saw Chen Zhihao's body. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

After crying, Chen Yanshou turned around and glared fiercely at Zhang Lühua, saying, "You filthy bastards, you actually killed my son! Speak! Where are your accomplices? I'll catch them and tear them to pieces, sob sob..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lühua pointed at Liu Lang and said, "My accomplice is him."

Liu Lang quickly said, "You scoundrel! Don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Yanshou was heartbroken and furious. Suddenly, Jiao Zan approached him and said, "General, don't be sad!"

As he spoke, Jiao Zan took Chen Yanshou's hands, seemingly to comfort him, but secretly gave Meng Liang a look. Meng Liang then stepped forward, picked up a steel whip, and unexpectedly brought it down on Chen Yanshou's head.

Chen Yanshou was completely unprepared. Even when he realized what was happening and tried to retaliate, Jiao Zan held him tightly. Meng Liang's whip struck Chen Yanshou's head. If it were an ordinary person, their skull would probably be broken, but Chen Yanshou's martial arts were unparalleled, and it didn't kill him.

Enraged by the sneak attack from Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, Chen Yanshou swayed and forcefully flung Jiao Zan aside, striking him in the shoulder with a palm strike.

Seeing Jiao Zan injured, Meng Liang lashed out at Chen Yanshou with his whip.

Chen Yanshou, seeing this, cursed, "You two bastards! You actually colluded with rebels to harm me!"

Fearing Meng Liang was outmatched, Liu Lang signaled Bai Yunfei and the two sisters to join him.

Because Chen Yanshou was injured and without a sword, Bai Yunfei stabbed him in the chest with her sword. Bai Yunfei used her whip to hook his arm, while Meng Liang beheaded him with his broadsword. The soldiers, being Meng Liang and Jiao Zan's trusted confidants, did not intervene.

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Liu Lang ordered Chen Yanshou's body to be buried. Then he led everyone into the city. He then put Meng Liang and Jiao Zan in charge of the troops and told Chen Yanshou's confidants that Chen Yanshou and his son had been kidnapped by bandits and were negotiating with the court. Since there was no commander in the city, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan would temporarily take charge of the troops and be fully responsible for the rescue operation.

After the matter was settled, it was almost noon. Liu Lang dared not make a fuss too much, lest it arouse the suspicion of the soldiers at Santai Pass. So he summoned Meng Liang and Jiao Zan and held a celebratory banquet at his residence.

During the banquet, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan asked Liu Lang, "Sir, in this battle against Chen Yanshou, whose contribution do you think is greatest?"

Liu Lang knew the meaning behind their question. Before he could answer, Bai Yunfei said, "Chen Yanshou was killed by Meng Liang, but if Jiao Zan hadn't held him back, it would have been difficult to kill Chen Yanshou… How about this! You two share the greatest merit."

The next day, after Liu Lang got up, he mustered his troops and prepared to depart for Ba County. Meng Liang and Jiao Zan came to see him off, and Liu Lang instructed them to guard Santai Pass diligently.

After setting off, Liu Lang noticed Zhang Lühua's gloomy expression. Upon asking, he learned she was missing Miao Xueyan. He inquired, "Where should your cousin be now?"

Zhang Lühua replied, "I don't know either, but she came here to find someone. She said she was looking for the owner of a theatrical troupe, and her fellow apprentice was with her. The matter was already settled, but because of my business, she was delayed for a day. She's probably going to find her apprentice now."

Liu Lang asked again, "Where do you think they're going?"

Zhang Lühua thought for a moment and said, "I remember my cousin and her troupe invited the troupe to Taiyuan Prefecture, but I don't know if they've actually arrived! Brother Yang, aren't you very close to my cousin? Didn't she tell you where she was going?"

Liu Lang quickly replied, "We are very close, but time was of the essence, and she didn't have time to tell me. But don't worry, I will definitely help you find her."

The four of them chatted and laughed along the way, and by evening they arrived in Ba County.

Liu Lang was surprised by how smoothly things were progressing in Ba County. After meeting up with Murong Feixue and Zi Ruoer, they introduced him to Yue Sheng, the garrison commander of Ba County, and Zhou Quan, as well as Ren Tang Hui. It turned out they had long disapproved of Cheng Shijie's actions, but were too weak to confront him directly.

When Zi Ruoer found Ren Tang Hui, she explained Liu Lang's purpose in coming to Shanxi. Ren Tang Hui was overjoyed, and after discussing it with Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan, the three decided to join Liu Lang.

Ba County didn't have many troops, but they were slightly more than those at Santai Pass.

That evening, after the banquet, Liu Lang led everyone to study the map. They saw that Ba County was only sixty li from Taiyuan, meaning they could provide support at any time should a battle break out in Taiyuan.

Liu Lang pointed to a spot on the map and asked, "What is this place?"

Yue Sheng replied, "That's the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes, a vital transportation route from Ba County northward to Taiyuan."

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Once we arrive in Taiyuan, we'll inevitably clash with Cheng Shijie. General Yue Sheng, under the guise of military exercises, set up a force here—not too many, just one or two thousand men will suffice, but it's best to have plenty of archers and crossbowmen, occupying advantageous terrain to ambush Cheng Shijie's pursuers from a high vantage point."

Yue Sheng said, "I'll follow Lord Yang's suggestion and go arrange the troops immediately."

Liu Lang said, "No need." "Hurry, wait until we get to Taiyuan before you act. I won't break ties with Cheng Shijie within two or three days."

Ren Tanghui said, "Sir, I'm willing to lead troops to guard Tianlong Mountain. Also, I have something I'd like to tell you, though I don't know if it's good news."

Liu Lang said, "Speak freely."

Ren Tanghui said, "Just yesterday, I learned from a friend that a mysterious organization called the 'Triads' seems to be planning a major operation in the next couple of days. However, because my relationship with that friend isn't very good, I can't know who the operation is targeting, but I'm certain there will be a..." "A large-scale assassination attempt... I'm worried they're targeting you, sir..."

Liu Lang quickly asked, "Have you heard of the Triads?"

Yue Sheng and Zhou Quan shook their heads, saying, "We haven't been active in the martial world much lately, so we don't know anything about the Triads."

Ren Tang thought for a moment and then said, "I'm not quite sure either; it seems we only recently heard the name Triads. I guess it might mean three gangs are cooperating, because my friend usually associates with Wanmatang, and Wanmatang is always opposing the government."

Liu Lang said, "Let's not worry about this for now, but it would be best if Wanmatang sent someone tomorrow... " "Let's investigate and see if there's anything we can use. Although the Triads' target is the government, it might not be us. Cheng Shijie has long been unpopular in Shanxi. If the Triads are targeting Cheng Shijie, then they'll be on our side. If we can have a chance to talk to them, that would be best."

That night, Liu Lang tried to calm himself down. The fatigue of the past few days had left him exhausted, especially since he was going to enter Taiyuan the next day to face Cheng Shijie. He needed to be in good condition, so after the banquet, Liu Lang went to his room alone, lay down on his bamboo couch, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Liu Lang bid farewell to Yue Sheng and prepared to leave Ba County.

As Yue Sheng saw Liu Lang off at the pass, he said, "My lord, rest assured. I will arrange for Rentang to lead two thousand elite troops to guard Longmen Mountain, and I will also send men to Taiyuan. As soon as you receive news, I will immediately go to support you, so that we can attack or defend as needed. The nine thousand elite troops of Ba County are already on high alert!"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "Excellent! After we destroy Cheng Shijie, General, you will be credited with the greatest merit."

After saying that, Liu Lang ordered the main force to rush to Taiyuan.

The sixty-mile journey was only a blink of an eye.

When Liu Lang and his men arrived in Taiyuan, the sun was not yet high in the sky, but outside the south gate, the streets were already being cleaned with water and the roads were being paved with yellow earth. Cheng Shijie had been waiting with his civil and military officials for a long time, and the onlookers had long been dispersed by the soldiers.

Although Cheng Shijie had been attacked by Liu Lang at the Red Flower Pavilion, Liu Lang was wearing a fake beard at the time, so Cheng Shijie didn't recognize him and even warmly greeted him by holding his hand. Afterwards, Zhang Beiguang, an official from the Ministry of Rites, read the imperial edict. Upon receiving the edict, Cheng Shijie led the civil and military officials to pay their respects to Princess Zhaoyang, Pan Feng. Then, the group arrived at the Taiyuan Marquis's residence.

According to custom, the officials from the Ministry of Rites had to conduct a handover ceremony with the Taiyuan officials, handing over the princess's belongings to the Marquis's steward before proceeding with other matters. Therefore, Zhang Beiguang and Li Tongshun began their work.

At this moment, Cheng Shijie said, "Your Excellency, let these servants handle these tedious matters. We invite the princess to the reception hall for tea."

Because Cheng Shijie held the official position of Governor of Shanxi, a first-rank official, after entering the hall, the imperial guards dressed as Murong Feixue, Zi Ruoer, Bai Yunfei, and Bai Xuefei could not sit freely and could only stand behind Liu Lang.

Although Zi Ruo'er and Cheng Shijie were sworn enemies, after much persuasion from Liu Lang and Murong Feixue, she could only suppress her anger.

Cheng Shijie was accompanied by four people: two young men and two older men. After Cheng Shijie's introduction, Liu Lang learned that the two young men with sinister expressions were Cheng Qianlong and Cheng Qianhu. Because they were there to welcome Princess Zhaoyang, and their official ranks were low, they could only stand. The other two were Cheng Shijie's confidants. Liu Lang seemed to have seen one of them at the Red Flower Pavilion; his name was Han Rang, the Right Army Commander under Cheng Shijie. The other, dressed in Taoist robes, was called Master Wen, a master from the Asura Realm and Cheng Shijie's strategist.

After exchanging some official pleasantries with Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie, seeing that it was already noon, sent his two sons to prepare a banquet to welcome Liu Lang and Pan Feng. He also arranged a separate banquet in a side courtyard for the soldiers and Murong Feixue's group. The inn was also ready, as Pan Feng was not yet officially married into the family and could not stay at the Taiyuan Marquis's residence.

Cheng Shijie discussed the wedding date with Liu Lang, who said, "This is the Marquis's family matter; it is not my place to interfere."

Cheng Shijie laughed and said, "I have two sons. Qianlong has already taken a fancy to a girl and should have gotten married long ago. However, I just received a secret decree from the Emperor to betroth Princess Zhaoyang to Qianhu. Therefore, I intend to have my two sons get married together. Starting today, the Taiyuan Marquis's Mansion will hold a series of grand operas and celebrate day and night. Three days later, my two sons will hold their wedding together."
