The prince is very cruel

As for Mingguang County and Yumen Pass, it was the pass given by the old emperor. Guan Ning planned to squeeze the old emperor one last time.

After the plan was finalized, the six Dharma protectors set off. Some went to Mingguang County, some gathered laborers in advance, some were responsible for entering the city, and some bought carriages.

The time given by Guan Ning is that everything must be completed before midnight.

After finishing everything, he took a break and had a sip of tea.

"Have something to eat." Lou Xinyue appeared at some point, holding a tray in her hand. Her hair was piled high on the back of her head, revealing her snow-white swan neck. She was wearing a light blue long dress, and she looked like both a fairy sister and a young woman.

Guan Ning chuckled: "Wife, I think you have become more beautiful."

Lou Xinyue glanced at him coldly.

"What dirty words are you going to say again?"

Guan Ning curled his lips: "Am I so unbearable in your heart?"

As Lou Xinyue took out the dishes, she said, "It's not terrible, it's just a little dirty."

Guan Ning was very upset.

"Then why are you still following me?" He picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, looking a little nonchalant.

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog." Lou Xinyue said casually.

Guan Ning's mouth twitched fiercely. Damn it, how much do they look down on me?

Lou Xinyue couldn't help but smile.

The two seemed to have long been accustomed to getting along like this, occasionally bickering and occasionally being disliked, but if something really happened to Guan Ning, Lou Xinyue would be the first to be uneasy.

This may be love!

"Can you answer me one question seriously?" Lou Xinyue suddenly became serious. She peeled the pumpkin and fed it to Guan Ning with her delicate hands.

"Hmm?" Guan Ning said vaguely.

"Are you aiming to conquer the world?" Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were serious as she wiped the saliva from her fingers.

The two of them chatted like a married couple. Guan Ning shook his head: "Everything I did was just to protect myself."

“But a lot of times, we have no choice.”

"If it weren't for those things, I would definitely just be a playboy in the capital."

Lou Xinyue nodded and ate with small bites, like a fairy sister.

"Can you promise me that after all our goals are achieved, we can live a quiet life as a family? I would rather you be a little more extravagant." Her eyes suddenly became serious and expectant.

Guan Ning understood that it was his repeated risk-taking that made this strong and arrogant woman feel insecure.

Guan Ning shook her hand and said in a serious tone, "Okay, after completing all my goals, I will retire to the countryside and live a quiet life with you and take care of the children."

Lou Xinyue felt quite relieved when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the last three words, she immediately opened Guan Ning's hand and glared at him.

He mentions his children every three sentences. Is he hinting at himself?

She was actually looking forward to it, but her belly was not moving. It was strange to say, there were no preventive measures in ancient times, and every time... Logically, she should have been pregnant long ago.

So much so that she now dares not practice martial arts.

"Hahaha!"

"I don't mean to rush you!" Guan Ning laughed.

Lou Xinyue squinted her eyes: "Eat!"

"..."

Time flew by, the sky darkened, the horns in Guangling City blared continuously, and an endless stream of magicians were performing rituals everywhere, scattering yellow paper everywhere, preparing for Zhao Tai's funeral.

The war horses waiting to be buried alive let out mournful cries, and the sky of Guangling City was filled with mourning paper. It could be said that the situation was extremely depressing.

Even after Zhao Tailian's death, the city was still in turmoil and the people were under pressure. Guan Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so when he set out for the military review, he secretly sent someone to release the war horses that were buried with him.

All things have spirits. It is not worth it to be buried alive with someone like Zhao Tai.

In the second half of the night, the troops were reviewed.

The firelight illuminated the watchtower. The heavily guarded place was replaced by Zhang Yue's relatives, who were also his most loyal confidants.

He had been waiting anxiously in the reviewing platform for Guan Ning's arrival.
