Lou Xinyue nodded slightly, the breeze ruffling her hair. "So, what do you want to take with you? Or how do we protect ourselves from the old emperor?"

"Well, let it be. Let's kill Zhao Tai first."

"As long as he is not dead, I can't sleep, the old emperor can't sleep, and no one can sleep. Let's kill him first and then think about it." Guan Ning said.

Lou Xinyue took a deep breath and nodded.

The two of them walked hand in hand in the sunset, their backs were extraordinary, and the couple was so handsome and beautiful, it was really amazing.

Soon, the small village, shrouded in silence, fell into absolute tranquility.

Guan Ning went to bed early, intending to conserve his energy, but the wind did not stop even though the trees wanted to be still. In the second half of the night, dark shadows moved in the woods outside the small village, as if uninvited guests had arrived.

A gust of wind blew and blew out the ever-burning lamp.

Guan Ning's eyes suddenly opened as he lay on Lou Xinyue's chest.

"It's me." A voice quickly sounded in the darkness.

Hai Mei?

"Why are you here?" Guan Ning put on his coat.

"The spies from the Church of Balance have arrived!" Hai Mei said solemnly.

Suddenly, Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue were both startled. So fast?

"Let's go out and take a look."

As they spoke, the three of them walked out of the house like ghosts, climbed onto the roof, and glanced at the peach forest outside the village in the moonlight.

There was a constant breeze in the peach forest, leaves were falling slowly, and it was extremely quiet. It seemed that there was nothing unusual, but Guan Ning could keenly sense a breath of air!

"They have been wandering around outside and haven't come in. Do you want me to send someone to capture them?" Hai Mei asked.

Guan Ning shook his head: "They are probably just spies who came to explore the way. They won't take action on their own."

"If we take action first, we will reveal our cards."

"So be it."

"Let's proceed according to the original plan. Once they arrive, Zhao Tai's army will be here soon." As he spoke, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hai Mei had completely listened to Guan Ning and nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, the small village maintained a strange silence. Although the enemy was right in front of them, they remained silent and motionless.

Although he knew that the other party would not take action in advance, Guan Ning was obviously unable to sleep after such an incident, and sat directly in the lobby of the small village.

Lou Xinyue accompanied him, and Hai Mei was there too, but she didn't seem serious at all. Instead, she seemed to be playing around and started washing her feet in front of Guan Ning.

Lou Xinyue looked at him with cold eyes. If it weren't for the powerful enemy, she really wanted to teach this shameless vixen a lesson!

Time passes by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it will be dawn.

The hot tea on the table continued to flow. Guan Ning, who had his eyes closed to rest, moved his ears, suddenly opened his eyes, and stood up suddenly.

"coming!"

The sleepy Hai Mei's eyes lit up.

All I heard was thunder and lightning outside the small village, causing dust from the eaves to fall down. This was the march of the army, and it was a noise that could only be caused by thousands of soldiers!

"Zhao Tai, you're finally here!"

"Let's go!" Guan Ning rushed out without saying a word.

"and many more!"

"Put this on." Lou Xinyue called out, holding the silk soft armor in her hand.

Guan Ning frowned: "You wear it, I don't need it."

"You must wear it!" Lou Xinyue was unusually tough, like a henpecked husband.

Guan Ning had no choice but to put it on. In fact, this thing could only block cold weapons, and it was completely incapable of protecting against black gunpowder.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, the noise became louder and louder. Rumbling sounds continued to come from the distant mountains, and the flames that shot up into the sky lit up half of the peach forest.

"Sir!"

"Saint!"

Luo Zhongtian and others, as well as many masters from the Holy Lotus Sect, all saluted.

Guan Ning nodded and said, "How is it?"

"Prince, they should be the elite cavalry of the Zhao family army. There are at least tens of thousands of them, and they have blocked our retreat. Just when you came, my people discovered that they had divided their troops, and two of the teams were encircling us from the left and right, as if they wanted to cut off our retreat!" Luo Zhongtian said.

Hai Mei sneered, "He thinks he can stop us with a massive army? He underestimates our Holy Lotus Sect."

"When we retreat later, we'll all take the underground tunnel to piss this guy off!"

It has to be said that the Holy Lotus Sect is the only existence that Zhao Tai cannot eliminate, and it is indeed quite powerful.

"They're coming, everyone take your places."

"Everyone be careful!" Guan Ning said in a deep voice.

"Prince, be careful!" Luo Zhongtian and others clasped their fists. Even though this was the last conversation before the war, some people might die here, but no one retreated. Everyone was fighting for their goals.

It happens slowly when you say it.

The enemy army came at lightning speed, with flags waving, and arrived in a flash.

“Gee, gee, gee!!”

"just in front!"

"The Governor has ordered us to surround them immediately!"

The sound of galloping war horses was endless, raising up clouds of dust and awakening the dawn. The iron hooves were illuminated by the rising sun, looking cold and oppressive.

To be fair, this cavalry was very strong. Whether in terms of equipment or the quality of the soldiers, it could be considered the strongest cavalry in the Wu Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was not used well and instead became Zhao Tai's personal tool.

Then, Guan Ning doesn't mind destroying them.

A moment later, tens of thousands of troops lined up in front of the village, causing the sky to be covered with dark clouds, which blocked the rising sun.

A chariot slowly drove out, with a sense of majesty that could suppress thousands of troops. On it stood a fully armed middle-aged man with a terrifying majesty and eyes like a tiger. He was none other than Zhao Tai, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi.

"Guan Ning!" He shouted softly, his voice echoing.

At the gate of the village, the people of the Holy Lotus Sect were lined up in a row. Although they were cold-blooded and murderous, they seemed too insignificant compared to the enemy's massive army.

Guan Ning scratched his ears and rode out: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the Governor really spared no expense for me, even spending all his family's wealth."

"Aren't you afraid that someone will attack Guangling City at this time?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Tai shouted, and the warhorse under him neighed anxiously.

"Hand over this Governor's belongings immediately, or I'll give the order for the cavalry to charge, and you ants will vanish into thin air in an instant!"

When these words were spoken, everyone laughed sarcastically.

"yours?"

"What do you mean by yours?" Guan Ning challenged.

"Hmph, this Governor has never failed to get what he set his eyes on! I don't care what trap you set here today, this Governor will break it with one force!"

"Are you going to give me the blueprints of Zhuge Crossbow or not?" Zhao Tai roared, his voice deafening.

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen were shocked and shouted in unison: "Give it to me or not, give it to me or not!!"

The sound was huge, accompanied by the sound of their armor, and it was very oppressive.

Guan Ning sneered: "Blueprints? Here!"

"Come and rob if you dare!"

He took out a piece of rice paper provocatively, and then stuffed it back into his arms.

Zhao Tai's eyes burned with crazy greed: "You're courting death, you bastard!"

"Kill me!!"
