Before I knew it, another few hours had passed.

When the sky was just dawning, the soldiers inside and outside the city who were already getting more and more demoralized due to the cold and being besieged suddenly heard an extremely encouraging news - the king of Nanting who led the troops to besiege them was captured alive!

Although they didn't see the captured Nanting King with their own eyes, although they were very strange who was so divine that he could go deep into the enemy camp and capture the thief's head in the midst of thousands of troops. However, among the tens of thousands of soldiers, none of them doubted the authenticity of this news, because this news was said by Xu Ruji, the great general whom they admired and admired the most.

However, while they were rejoicing, everyone in the city lord's mansion had a sleepless night.

"Phew, demon girl, let go of this king!"

The City Lord's Mansion, in the Qihui Garden, where Ling Youli temporarily lives, is very lively at the moment. I saw a man in battle armor, a sturdy body, with a beard like a halberd, who was still tied up on the ground at random, and the insults in his mouth had not stopped since he was brought here.

"Demon girl, what kind of demonic tricks did you use to calculate this king? Hmph, I didn't expect that there are also such people with demonic skills under the hands of the prince of the dignified Yanyan Kingdom!"

“......”

Faintly "looked" at Lu Zhenke, who was shouting endlessly, Qu Luoshang raised his finger, and there was a wisp of purple flame swirling between his fingers.

"You witch!"

Seeing the strange flame between the fingers of the woman in red, Lu Zhenke's body couldn't help but shrink for a while.

He didn't forget that just now, when he was sleeping soundly in the tent, this ghostly woman suddenly appeared in his tent, and it was this purple flame in her hand that penetrated into his body in just an instant, and then his whole body immediately burned like smoke, and it hurt his bones.

"Hehe, King Nanting, your spirit is still as good as ever!"

Listening to this Lu Zhenke finally quieted down because he was afraid of the purple succubus fire in his hand, Qu Luoshang just wanted to teach him another lesson, but Ling Youli's voice suddenly came.

"Hmph, naturally it is not as good as the spirit of the Fourteenth Prince. ”

Looking at Ling Youli who was walking towards him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhenke looked disdainful.

"I heard that the fourteenth prince has been in poor health since he was a child, and he hasn't even seen the emperor's face a few times, why do he still have the physical strength to go to the battlefield with his generals?"

"Hehehe, thank you King Nanting for your concern!"

Ignoring Lu Zhenke's obvious sarcastic words, Ling Youli flicked his sleeves, and then sat on the stool in front of Lu Zhenke for a long time.

"But with the prestige of the Southern Thunder King, now he can only kneel at my feet, how does it feel?"

"You ......"

Because of Ling Youli's words, Lu Zhenke's eyes were completely split. However, when he used all his strength to stand up and was about to kick Ling Youli's body, Qu Luosheng's wrist turned, and Lu Zhenke was immediately thrown against the wall.

"Oh, this chair seems to be carved from fine red sandalwood, and it's a pity that it was crushed by you like this!"

Walking to Lu Zhenke's side step by step, Ling Youli stood there, condescendingly looking at Lu Zhenke who was lying on the wreckage of the chair and spitting blood.

"Luoshang, you're too heavy on this hand. ”

"Yes. ”

Knowing that Ling Youli deliberately said it to Lu Zhenke, Qu Luoshang still responded in a low voice.

"Phew, you think ...... Calculate this king with witchcraft, despicable!"

Fiercely spitting out the blood foam in his mouth, Lu Zhenke glared angrily at Ling Youli, who was still smiling lightly but couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

"Despicable?"

As if he had heard some big joke, the smile on Ling Youli's face deepened.

"Am I despicable? Who is more despicable than back then, when you coveted my mother's beauty, and my mother didn't follow you to frame her for filthy palace?"

"Hmph, it was her honor that this king could look at her back then, but she didn't expect that woman to know what to do...... Ahh

Halfway through Lu Zhenke's words, he instantly felt that every inch of blood and bones in his body seemed to be being burned by fire, and the sudden pain made him can't help but wail. So when Ye Chutao and Nangong Qiyue heard the news, they saw people with bloodstains on their faces, rolling around on the ground like crazy, and not seeing terrifying screams in their mouths.

He ...... What's wrong with him?"

No matter how you say it, Ye Chutao is also a young lady who guards the boudoir all the year round, so this kind of shocking scene made her subconsciously hide behind Nangong Qiyue in fright.

"It's fine. ”

Nangong Qiyue carefully escorted Ye Chutao to Qu Luosheng's side.

"Let's let him go, it's useful to keep him. ”

“......”

After "looking" at Nangong Qiyue, Qu Luoshang turned to "look" at Ling Youli.

"Let's take a small punishment first. ”

When Ye Chutao and the two appeared, Ling Youli had already sorted out his emotions, so he returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Qu Luosheng: "Luosheng." ”

"Yes. ”

Qu Luoshang hooked her finger, and the purple flame returned to her finger, and then disappeared in an instant.

Ye Chutao on the side couldn't help but be surprised and surprised when he saw this. But because she also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this, so after sorting out her thoughts, Ye Chutao asked Ling Youli: "Now that you have captured Lu Zhenke, what do you want to do next? Use Lu Zhenke to make his generals surrender?"

"Naturally. ”

Ling Youli smiled.

"With Lu Zhenke in hand, I'm not afraid of those people making another moth. And now that we have solved the most tricky King of Nanting among the four kings, the remaining King of Chu is even less to fear. ”

"Oh. ”

Ye Chutao really didn't expect that their trip to clear the domain would be so smooth, so smooth that it made her feel that everything was very unreal.

"Then since you already have a plan for the future, let's go back first. ”

Seeing that Ling Youli didn't need the help of himself and Ye Chutao now, Nangong Qiyue had already pulled Ye Chutao to avoid Lu Zhenke, who had passed out on the ground, and slowly walked out of Qihui Garden.

"Lu Zhenke was really scary like that just now!"

After leaving the Strange Flower Garden, Ye Chutao patted his chest.

"Nangong Gongzi, I shouldn't have looked at the dazzle just now, right? There seems to be a purple light in Miss Qu's hand. ”

"Hmm. ”

It wasn't until it was far away from the Strange Flower Garden, and when they arrived at Fangcao Zhai where Lin Zhiyun and they were resting, Nangong Qiyue stopped.

"It's a magic spell, something like the trick that soldiers use when they cross the river. ”

"Oh. ”

Ye Chutao nodded as if she didn't understand.

"But since Miss Qu is so powerful, why does Ling Youli have to bring the army here in person so much?"

"Probably, he needs to let everyone see what he's capable of. ”

Nangong Qiyue said in his heart, it seems that this Ling Youli originally had the intention to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five, otherwise he could have sat in the palace and waited for Qu Luoshang to help him eradicate the obstacles one by one.

"Let everyone see it with their own eyes?"

After listening to Nangong Qiyue's words, Ye Chutao suddenly realized.

"You are saying that the purpose of his expedition is to prove his ability to people, so that when he ascends to a high position, no one will question his ability. ”

"Perhaps. ”

Looking at Ye Chutao seriously, Nangong Qiyue said: "Miss Ye, Ling You is very scheming from this person, if you can, you must not have a deep friendship with him." ”

"Well, I understand. ”

Smiling, Ye Chutao said: "We are not all the way with him, and when this matter is over, I naturally don't want the Ye family to have anything to do with him again." ”

"That's fine. ”

Looking at the white sky in the east, Nangong Qiyue looked at Ye Chutao with a tired face.

"While there is still a little time, Miss Ye should hurry up and rest. Now that the army is on the march, Miss Ye must take care of herself. ”

"Good. ”

Rubbing his eyes, Ye Chutao looked at Nangong Qiyue with gratitude.

"Probably because of the pills you give me every day, I think for more than ten years, my body has never been so light as this time!

"It's good if it works. ”

Helping Ye Chutao sort out the cloak on his shoulders, Nangong Qiyue had a doting smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Let's go and rest. ”

"Okay, then you can go and rest for a while. ”

"Hmm. ”

Seeing Ye Chutao enter Fangcao Zhai, it was not until her figure disappeared that Nangong Qiyue turned around and left with a happy face.
