Teasing the First Dragon at the Start

Bathed in moonlight, she resembled a fairy from the moon palace, exquisitely beautiful and elegant. Her fair skin was as delicate and smooth as white jade. The dress she wore seemed a little ill-fitting, clinging tightly to her voluptuous body, making it appear somewhat tight.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, one can't help but think, "She's as beautiful as jade."

Upon hearing this, Ji Liang's expression softened somewhat.

She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Why is the young master sitting there, ignoring everything?"

"I......"

Bai Su was taken aback and was about to explain when Ji Liang interrupted her.

She slowly raised her head, her watery eyes filled with a hint of shyness. She gently bit her red lips and whispered, "Liang... has not seen you for a long time and is suffering from lovesickness. My heart is aching. I hope you can help me... cure it completely."

How could Bai Su refuse such an invitation from a beauty?

He took a deep breath, walked up to Ji Liang, and amidst her gasp, picked her up and carried her to the bed.

A beauty as lovely as jade, vibrant and captivating.

Bai Su gently put her down. Ji Liang's heart was filled with tenderness at this moment. The longing she had felt for Ji Liang for many days made her completely forget the purpose of her trip.

Under the candlelight, Bai Su's face came into her view. Recalling the scenes of their first meeting, Ji Liang's eyes were slightly intoxicated.

Bai Su held her soft, jade-like hand, looking directly at her: "You suffer from a heart ailment, how can I turn a blind eye? Tonight, I am willing to draw my three-foot sword from my waist, and I will not return until I have vanquished Loulan..."

As he spoke, he touched Ji Liang's slender waist and gently untied the brocade sash around her waist.

Ji Liang bit her lip lightly, her face flushed with shyness. She turned her head away from Bai Su's eyes, her fair hands nervously gripping the blanket.

The blue lamplight flickered and danced, and pieces of clothing, once taken off, were carelessly tossed on the ground.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the doors and windows closed with the wind, obscuring the view inside the room; only a creaking sound could be heard.

It can be said that...

Flower soldiers and moon formations secretly attack each other, and the well-accustomed camp and city are clear of all obstacles.

When the snow melts, white remains; when the red flowers fall, red is gone.

My heart alone knows the spring flowing down, yet who knows the fervor of my myriad joys?

The general's letter brings many benefits, but he rises before dawn.

......

......

Meanwhile, in the desolate wilderness.

A horse-drawn carriage was fleeing in panic.

"Your Highness, the Xia army's lackeys are almost here."

A woman dressed in red came up from behind; it was Xiang Liang from Jiangdong.

The carriage paused for a moment, and Mi Xiongxin leaned out of the window, her fair face filled with tension.

She said anxiously, "What... what should we do? There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Even Mr. Ji Liang has fallen into the hands of Xia Jun's lackeys. What should we do?"

Mi Xiongxin, recalling what she had experienced in the past few days, felt almost in tears.

Originally, due to the impact of the flood, the price of food in the market began to soar. They took the opportunity to hoard food and spread rumors, which intensified the conflict between the refugees and the government.

According to the plan, within three to five days at most, the grain in the granaries of Pei County and the surrounding counties would be completely exhausted, and most of the Chu region would fall into chaos.

It would take at least half a month for the grain from Guanzhong to arrive.

This two-week period is enough time for them to raise the royal banner and gather their righteous army.

They were just one step away from the success of the plan when, unexpectedly, Xia Jun suddenly conjured up a huge amount of grain, enough to last for a month.

They even used the grain as a trap, capturing not only numerous fake refugees but also their spies.

Even Mr. Ji Liang, a key figure, fell into the hands of the Xia army, and his fate remains unknown.

As for them, they were surrounded by the cavalry led by Wang Jian, and now they had almost nowhere to escape.

Sitting on the carriage shaft, Green Pearl urged the horse onward and asked, "Should we change our escape route?"

Xiang Liang frowned slightly, then said, "No need. The mountains around here are crisscrossed with many forks in the road. If they take any more detours, they will soon get lost in this vast, deep mountain."

"Although our plan has failed, fortunately, His Highness Xiong Xin is still alive. As long as we escape back to Jiangdong, there is hope for the restoration of the Chu Kingdom."

"it is good."

Green Pearl nodded, cracked her whip, and sped up.

Despite feeling uneasy, Mi Xiongxin had no choice but to sit back in the carriage after hearing Xiang Liang's words. She silently prayed that she could escape safely and have a chance to rescue Mr. Ji Liang in the future.

However, Xiang Liang's expression quickly turned serious.

In the distance, deep in the mountains, hundreds of people were already waiting in front of an open space at the foot of a mountain wall.

These hundreds of men wielded long spears and wore black armor, while Wang Jian stood alone before them, his long, black hair flowing in the moonlight, his starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows smiling as he looked at them.

She smiled and said, "You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long."

"Control..."

Xiang Liang hurriedly spurred his horse to a stop, staring at Wang Jian opposite him, his teeth clenched tightly: "Wang...Jian, what are you doing here?"

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Before we set off, you had already inquired about the trails around Pei County. You suspected that you might escape through the mountain paths, so you set up an ambush here. I didn't expect that you would actually catch such a big fish."

"Wang Jian!!!"

Xiang Liang stared at his father's killer, who was right in front of him, biting his lip hard, his hands gripping the reins so tightly they cracked.

Wang Jian stared at the crowd and said coldly, "We can't let any of the remnants left behind by Xiang Yan escape."

At her command, warhorses neighed and dozens of riders charged towards them.

Green Pearl drew a short sword from her waist and blocked the long sword thrusting towards her. At the same time, she kicked the warhorse hard on the head. The force of the kick caused the warhorse to shake violently in pain, blocking several knights behind it.

As a guard from the royal family of Chu, she was highly skilled, and it was difficult for more than ten ordinary people to get close to her.

However, she was not facing ordinary people; they were all elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield and had experienced countless battles.

A knight spurred his warhorse high into the air, and as his back was turned, he thrust a long, gleaming sword straight at her back.

Green Pearl realized something was wrong and quickly rolled away to avoid it, but she was still a step too slow. Her shoulder was slashed and a deep wound was cut, from which blood flowed freely.

Xiang Liang, standing to the side, was also in a difficult situation.

Faced with the siege of a group of cavalry, she could only draw her longsword and barely defend herself.

At this moment, an archer raised his crossbow and fired an arrow straight at Xiang Liang, hitting the neck of the horse he was riding.

The warhorse neighed and shook violently. Xiang Liang lost his footing and fell off. Several cavalrymen held long wooden sticks, raised them high, and prepared to bring them down.

Wang Jian nodded in satisfaction as he watched the group retreat in defeat.

Just when she thought the situation was settled.

Under the moonlight, a silver light descended from the sky.

"boom!!!"

The two knights were sent flying like cannonballs, crashing heavily to the ground in the distance, raising a cloud of dust and breaking two trees.

Wang Jian was taken aback, and asked incredulously, "That's a spear?"

There was a jet-black spear, about five meters long, stuck straight into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a fair, jade-like hand emerged from the smoke and dust and pulled the spear from the ground.

A gentle breeze swept by, dispelling the dust and smoke. A young woman dressed in a white, fitted robe stood in the center of the battlefield, her figure appearing exceptionally heroic and spirited under the moonlight.

She turned to look at Xiang Liang: "Aunt, are you alright?"

Xiang Liang was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Yu'er, you... how did you get here?!"

The girl she was facing was none other than her niece, Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "I noticed that my aunt hadn't replied for a long time, and I was wondering how the plan was going, so I came to check. I didn't expect to see the Xia army's lackeys chasing after us on the way."

"It seems that Aunt's plan has failed. You all go quickly, I'll stop them."

After saying that, she stood alone in front of them.

Mi Xiongxin asked with a worried expression, "That...that Wang Jian has hundreds of cavalrymen. Can you handle it alone?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu's lips curled into a slight smile.

She smiled confidently and said, "What are a few hundred people? I am a match for ten thousand men."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to the dozens of riders charging towards her.

Xiang Yu's slender fingers gripped the spear tightly, and his energy burst forth. With a whooshing sound, the five-meter-long spear transformed into a dark semicircle.

With a single blow, she broke the legs of countless horses, and more than ten riders charging towards her were thrown to the ground.

These people got up from the ground, but before they could stand up properly, their minds were still foggy.

Xiang Yu planted his spear in the ground with a thud, stepped forward, and used his elbows, fists, and legs as if his entire body had transformed into a killing weapon, striking the enemy precisely in the heart.

With each blow to the neck and head, a crisp cracking sound of bones breaking could be heard.

In the blink of an eye, eight knights were sent flying backwards, falling to the ground lifeless.

Seeing the danger, the archers in the distance immediately raised their bows and fired arrows.

But Xiang Yu didn't even look at it. He simply picked up a corpse at his feet with one hand and used it as a shield in front of him, without getting hurt.

Immediately afterwards, she grabbed a handful of fallen longskins, shouted sweetly, and the longskins transformed into a sharp sword that cut through the air, which she then hurled.

The crossbowmen who were loading arrows more than ten feet away were hit directly before they could react.

Even more impressively, the long-range arrow remained powerful. After piercing through two people, it almost grazed past Wang Jian before embedding itself in the stone wall behind him with a loud "boom".

For a moment, everyone was stunned by this terrifying scene, staring blankly at the white-clad girl in the center of the battlefield, not daring to step forward.

As if sensing the presence of a ferocious beast, the warhorses shook their heads restlessly.

"Hmm? Have reinforcements arrived...?"

Xiang Yu glanced at the rows of torches at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and without lingering for battle, said, "Aunt, let's go."

She handed several unclaimed horses to Green Pearl, Xiang Liang, and the others who were standing nearby.
