Chapter 83 How do you want to die?
Hearing his mutterings, the woman was clearly angered. Having roamed the world for many years, this was the first time she had encountered someone so openly criticizing her. A rare look of rage appeared on her usually aloof face.
"Uh...you can hear me? Are you a member of the martial arts world?"
Hearing her sweet and gentle voice, Su Qingfeng was even more certain that she was a **. Perfect, it would be nice to have someone to talk to on the way here.
"Hey, beautiful, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Are you mute?"
"Wow, that's quite unique."
Seeing that the woman remained silent, Su Qingfeng shook his head and continued drinking his tea. Just as he lowered his head, he noticed a small, non-venomous snake slither into the teahouse and coil around the woman's feet. He spoke up, "Miss, there's a snake next to you."
The woman continued to drink her tea quietly, without moving an inch. Su Qingfeng didn't bother with her anymore; after all, the snake wasn't poisonous and wouldn't harm anyone.
whoosh-
A copper coin flew through the air and instantly pinned the snake to the ground.
Su Qingfeng paused, his hand holding the teacup still, inwardly surprised: This girl is incredibly skilled. He tried to recall the masters in "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty," but none of them seemed to match up. Could she be from another country?
After sizing her up a few times, Su Qingfeng realized that this woman's cultivation level was higher than his, and she was probably not someone to be trifled with. He quickly finished his tea and got up to leave.
boom.
A copper coin landed at his feet, blocking his way.
Helpless, Su Qingfeng turned to look at the woman in the bamboo hat—she was preventing him from leaving. He couldn't fathom the depth of her cultivation level at all; she was probably a Grandmaster on par with Yaoyue. Su Qingfeng's heart tightened, and he immediately tried to teleport away; this woman was too dangerous.
"Miss, I must take my leave now. See you again if fate allows." With that, he strode out of the teahouse, mounted his horse, and galloped away.
The martial world is truly treacherous; how come there are female grandmasters everywhere? Have all the men in the world died? Every woman I encounter is stronger than me... Who is this? She's definitely not from the Sui Dynasty.
"Holy crap—"
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the road—it was the same woman from the teahouse. Su Qingfeng pulled on her horse, somewhat bewildered: She still wouldn't let me go?
He chuckled dryly, "What a coincidence, young lady, you're going to Luoyang too?"
Li Qi stared coldly at him, her gaze icy: "How do you want to die?"
She had fled to the Sui Dynasty to escape the Water Mother Yin Ji, and had kept a low profile the whole way, yet someone still dared to provoke her. It seems she hasn't shown enough power, which is why people are unafraid of her.
"I don't want to die. Goodbye, miss. This horse is yours."
Before Su Qingfeng could finish speaking, he immediately activated his teleportation ability and disappeared from the spot.
Li Qi was slightly taken aback.
"Hmm? This is interesting... A mere Innate Realm cultivator managed to slip away from me." A slight smile played on her lips. "Heh, this has piqued my interest."
Su Qingfeng teleported all the way to Luoyang, secretly resolving: he would never again provoke women so easily. Women in the martial world were too terrifying; he would rather offend ten men than offend one woman.
In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang sat facing each other, drinking wine, both with expressions of helplessness. Zi Nu had been abducted by Lord Wu Xiang, and with their current strength, they were powerless to rescue her—the women around Lord Wu Xiang were either Grandmasters or Grandmasters, while Wei Zhuang, the strongest in the Quicksand, was only at the Grandmaster level, making it impossible for them to help.
Han Fei drank a cup of wine and sighed:
"If the situation in Han Kingdom weren't so urgent, we wouldn't have abandoned Zi Nu and left the Great Sui. Let's deal with General Ji Wuye first, and then try to rescue her."
Wei Zhuang stood by the window, gazing out at the distance, and spoke coldly:
"I'm afraid Zi Nu can't be saved. If Lord Wu Xiang refuses to release her, there's nothing we can do. Neither our military strength nor our martial arts masters can compare to Lord Wu Xiang."
"Brother Wei Zhuang, what do you think would be a good thing or a bad thing if Zi Nu became Lord Wu Xiang's wife one day?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on whether Zi Nu can win his favor. You should know that Jing Ni and Dong Jun of the Yin Yang School are not people that Zi Nu can deal with. Even the other women around Wu Xiang Jun are no less than Zi Nu in terms of appearance or strength."
Han Fei chuckled and rose, looking towards the General's Mansion:
"The most important thing right now is to get rid of Ji Wuye. We can discuss the matter of Zi Nu later."
"Night should end now."
At this moment, on the road to Han Kingdom, a carriage was slowly moving forward.
Inside the carriage, Ying Zheng frowned deeply. Lü Buwei was becoming increasingly arrogant, and that scoundrel Lao Ai had even faked his death and come back to life, and was even having an affair with the Empress Dowager. This time, he was taking advantage of the opportunity to go on an inspection tour, also wanting to see for himself whether Han Fei was truly talented.
Before the carriage, Wang Meng walked side by side with Gai Nie, feeling helpless. Ying Zheng had secretly left the palace this time without even bringing his Shadow Guards, yet Gai Nie insisted on dragging him along to protect him.
Wang Meng was originally the chief bodyguard of Lord Wu Xiang, responsible for liaison with the Qin state, but not a bodyguard of the King of Qin. He secretly thought that this was most likely Meng Tian's idea.
"Brother Wang Meng, your men are indeed extraordinary, even surpassing Zhang Han's Shadow Guards."
"Gai Nie, you've really put me in a difficult position this time. Lady Jun is coming to Qin. If she doesn't see me there, I'm afraid I'll be lucky to escape with my life."
Gai Nie glanced at Wang Meng, whose face was filled with worry, and shook his head slightly. It was indeed Meng Tian who suggested bringing Wang Meng along to the King of Qin—the King's trip was secretive, and he hadn't brought his own guards, precisely because Wang Meng and his men would never betray him. Now that the King of Qin was cooperating with Wu Xiangjun, Wu Xiangjun naturally didn't want anything to happen to the King.
Gai Nie remained calm and said to Wang Meng:
Brother, there's no need to worry. The King of Qin will explain to Lady Jun in due time. Speaking of which, wasn't the Lady Jun you mentioned earlier Jing Ni? But from your description, she doesn't seem to be Lady Jing Ni.
Wang Meng smiled as he looked at Gai Nie's usual calm expression.
She was another Lady Jun. Lady Jingni was not in charge of affairs, so the old lady arranged for the emperor to marry another woman. However, Lady Jingni and this Lady Jun were of equal status, with no distinction of rank; it was just that, on the surface, this woman was the emperor's principal wife.
It turned out to be the case.
Wang Meng recalled the news from Suzhou in the Song Dynasty and reminded Gai Nie:
Gai Nie, if you ever see Lady Jun in the future, you must be very careful. I've heard that Lady Jun is decisive and has extraordinary methods. As for her name, I cannot say more. You only need to know that Lady Jun is a Grandmaster.
Gai Nie was startled upon hearing this:
A Grandmaster? The Lady of the Emperor is a Grandmaster? How is that possible... How did the Emperor manage to marry a Grandmaster? Could it be that the Emperor himself is a martial arts master?
He never expected that Wu Xiangjun's wife was actually a Grandmaster—such a figure was already a top existence below the Celestial Realm in the martial arts world. When the Celestial Realm did not appear in the world, the Grandmaster was the key to influencing the situation in the martial arts world.
Wang Meng shook his head:
No, Your Majesty does not know martial arts. As for how the two of them became acquainted, I am not clear either. I am currently in the Qin state and know little about the affairs of Gusu.
Ying Zheng, inside the carriage, listened to their conversation and smiled slightly. The stronger Wu Xiangjun's power, the more advantageous it was for him. Wu Xiangjun's wife's visit to Qin would greatly help him assume personal rule. With a Grandmaster and Wu Xiangjun's army under his command, his ascension to power was practically a certainty.
Ying Zheng pondered how to repay Wu Xiangjun. Gold and silver might not be enough to maintain a lasting alliance. He had to think carefully about how to maintain a solid alliance with Wu Xiangjun in the future—this was crucial for his eventual unification of the Eastern Continent.
The Great Qin Dynasty, Jiuyuan Commandery.
Consort Yan, accompanied by Zi Nu, has arrived near Jiuyuan County. This area now belongs to Qin territory, and Consort Yan, leading ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry, cannot enter directly. She has already sent a secret guard to inform Meng Tian, the garrison commander of Jiuyuan.
Yan Fei looked at the purple-haired maiden and said with a smile:
Zi Nu, you have now arrived in Qin. Now that you have returned to Han, you should know how to proceed.
During the journey, Yanfei had warned Zinu several times. She knew that Su Qingfeng might have feelings for Zinu.
Although Zi Nu never gave Su Qingfeng a kind look, Yan Fei didn't know how Su Qingfeng would treat her in the future, but if Zi Nu betrayed Su Qingfeng, she would not hesitate to end her life herself.
Zi Nu followed Yan Fei's gaze and looked around, secretly alarmed. Since returning from the Sui Dynasty, everything had changed—she was no longer a member of the Quicksand, and the Han Kingdom would likely fall into the hands of the Qin Kingdom.
Lady Wu Xiang actually dispatched 30,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry to assist Qin. She had personally witnessed the strength of that army: the Xiongnu troops along the way collapsed like withered grass in front of them, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were annihilated, and the captured warhorses were piled up like mountains.
Zi Nu looked at the noble and aloof Yan Fei and said calmly, "I will not reveal your cooperation with the Great Qin."
Consort Yan, however, did not allow her to evade the question, and directly threatened, "You know what I mean. Since you will be my husband's woman in the future, I do not wish to deal with you myself."
Zi Nu immediately retorted angrily, "I am not his person, and I never will be! Tell Su Qingfeng to give up on that idea; I'd rather die than submit!"
Yan Fei recalled her usual arguments with Su Qingfeng and chuckled, "Then wait until he comes to the Eastern Continent for the Qin King's coming-of-age ceremony, and you can talk to him yourself. I'm sure you'll have a very 'pleasant' chat."
Zi Shen's expression changed drastically. Su Qingfeng was coming too... An unease welled up in her heart. During her captivity, although he hadn't actually violated her, he had verbally harassed her every day, and whenever she recalled those frivolous words, her cheeks would burn. He was clearly a nobleman, yet he argued with her like a rogue, repeatedly being rebuffed by her but never tiring of it.
During that period, she was harassed by him almost every day, and it was unexpected that he would eventually release her. Now, upon learning that he had asked Yanfei to deliver a message, she felt even more ashamed and indignant—that bastard clearly regarded her as his private property.
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and reported: "Madam, Qin general Meng Tian requests an audience."
Yan Fei looked at the approaching army in the distance and nodded slightly: "Let him come alone, the rest of the troops stop him."
"Yes."
Meng Tian spurred his horse to gaze into the distance and accelerated forward. Wang Meng had already informed Lady Wu Xiangjun that she was bringing ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry to reinforce them, and his heart was filled with excitement.
The Netherworld Iron Cavalry is currently stationed in Meng Tian's Jiuyuan Commandery. This force helped Meng Tian repel numerous Xiongnu cavalrymen, and now the Xiongnu dare not even approach the Jiuyuan area. Upon arriving, Meng Tian ordered the Golden Fire Cavalry to halt, and personally approached Yan Fei, who was being protected by the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, and bowed, saying, "Meng Tian of Great Qin greets Your Majesty's Consort."
"General Meng Tian, there are 10,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry here. Please hand them over to Commander Liu Haijun."
"Please rest assured, Madam Jun, Meng Tian will definitely bring the Netherworld Iron Cavalry to Commander Liu Haijun's camp."
"I have other important matters to attend to. My husband will also be present when the King of Qin is crowned. I entrust the Netherworld Iron Cavalry and the captured warhorses to you." After giving her instructions to Meng Tian, Consort Yan gave a few more instructions to the commander of the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, and then left with Zi Nu and several hundred guards.
Sui Dynasty, Luoyang
Su Qingfeng teleported all the way to Luoyang. This experience was quite dangerous. He felt that the mysterious woman would not let him go easily, so he decided to keep a low profile in Luoyang and leave immediately after obtaining Yang Gong's treasure.
