The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Shut up!"

"Put your pants back on!"

Behind him, Yan Ruyu's voice carried a hint of surprise and disbelief.

I never imagined that the person Father had mentioned sitting and lying in the Seven Stars would actually be him!

No wonder Qinglin and Ajiu entrusted him with the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill.

And judging from this, they have already...

Yan Ruyu seemed to remember something, and two blushes appeared on her face.

Yan Ruyu dislikes men. Perhaps it's because she was born into a position of power that she can only receive the adulation of thousands in the cold wind.

At this moment, being so close to a man, a man that her sisters had all acknowledged, suddenly made her feel somewhat at a loss.

Before today, she had killed countless men.

She killed every single man who had ever seen her face or even touched a corner of her clothing!

Yan Ruyu even suspected that she had androphobia!

But now, facing Jia Daoshi, she doesn't feel that way.

Could this be the fateful encounter her father had spoken of?

By this time, Jia Daoshi had already put his trousers back on.

"That's good now, everyone has seen it, it's quite fair." Jia Daoshi didn't seem to care.

Let them look; it won't hurt them.

However, these words made Yan Ruyu blush deeply.

"Princess Taiping, Ji Bingyan!"

To divert attention, Yan Ruyu steered the conversation toward Ji Bingyan.

Ji Bingyan, having no martial arts skills, was still fast asleep after all that commotion.

"My lady, don't worry. She just saved you. After all, this is the first time I've ever seen an injury like being possessed by a demon..." Jia Daoshi explained.

"Hmph! This Princess Taiping is known as the second most beautiful woman in the royal family. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to her?" Yan Ruyu sneered.

"I wouldn't say I'm attracted to her, but this girl is definitely kind-hearted!" Jia Daoshi said earnestly.

"Don't worry! I know she's a disciple of Yama, and her medical skills are indeed extraordinary. Since she saved my life, I won't kill her this time!" Yan Ruyu stood up, walked to Ji Bingyan, and said after a moment of contemplation.

Jia Daoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know much about Yan Ruyu.

His four wives were all mysterious, especially Yan Ruyu, who was actually the black-clad master of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, which sounded very impressive.

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to practice my skills."

With that, Yan Ruyu sat down cross-legged and ignored Jia Daoshi.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

This girl is probably a kung fu fanatic!

However, I'm a bit tired, so I'll take a nap first.

……

The night passed quickly.

When Jia Daoshi woke up again, Yan Ruyu was no longer in the cave.

Only Ji Bingyan was still sleeping soundly, even snoring softly, giving off an adorable and endearing feeling.

Jia Daoshi walked to the fire and saw a line of small characters written on the ground with charcoal:

I have to go now. Go back and tell Ajiu and Qinglin not to worry.

Leaving now?

She really is a woman as free as the wind.

Jia Daoshi shook his head, then turned and woke Ji Bingyan.

After a night, things should be quiet outside by now; it's time to leave.

A gentle spring breeze caresses the alleys of the small town, and a light rain moistens the fragrant flower branches. In the first month of the lunar calendar, Yilan County, bathed in sunlight, should be a very leisurely little town.

But today, Yilan County has become a desolate, black-clad city, with dark clouds covering the sky and no pedestrians on the streets.

Occasionally, a few ordinary people would walk on the street, but they would be in a hurry, and they would not even dare to walk in the middle of the road. They could only walk quickly by the door of the shops on the side of the street.

Because on the streets, squads of soldiers in black armor were patrolling, their faces serious and their killing intent palpable!

One night, all the troops under the command of the Prince of Zhenbei were mobilized, and the vanguard battalion of 5,000 men, who arrived first, took direct control of Yilan County.

At the same time, notices announcing the eradication of the Sun Moon Cult were posted in almost every county and prefecture of Yanzhou!

The Great Jing Dynasty launched its largest-ever purge of martial arts sects, causing a major upheaval in the martial arts world!

Every martial arts sect was in a state of panic!

Although news of what happened at Mantuo Villa has been blocked, there are no secrets in the world that stay hidden forever.

It quickly became known among people in the martial arts world.

At the same time, it seems that the Imperial City Guard has also mobilized its forces!

This time, Jia Daoshi did not get lost. After leaving Cangshan with Ji Bingyan, they quickly got onto the official road. Not long after they set off, they encountered Shen Li's inspection team, and the two of them naturally hitched a ride.

With such a major incident at Mantuo Manor, Shen Li, the Prince of Zhenbei, was in a very bad mood and hardly uttered a word the entire way.

Since that's the case, Jia Daoshi is happy to have some peace and quiet.

……

at the same time.

"You bastard! You're despicable!"

A secret stronghold of the Sun Moon Cult.

The old cult leader, whose head was still wrapped in a bandage, was jumping up and down cursing, wishing he could smash everything in front of him to pieces!

The followers standing below were all silent and trembling, not daring to breathe!

After venting his anger, the cult leader seemed to have aggravated his wound. He cried out "Ouch!" and covered his head with his hand. He sat back on his throne and then looked at the followers below with a ferocious expression, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour them!

His head was injured by the cannons fired by the imperial army during their encirclement and suppression campaign!

The casualties were devastating; several elders were blown to pieces on the spot!

After a long and difficult time, he finally managed to settle the believers down!

Unexpectedly, someone has once again impersonated the Sun Moon Cult and started a fight against the current Empress!

It's fine, let's fight it out. Since you're ruthless, I'll be ruthless too!

I can't stand to see your court doing well either!

But why are you impersonating my Sun Moon Cult?

Isn't this just stirring up hatred for the Sun Moon Cult?

His original plan to rest and recuperate was completely disrupted!

Finally, they sent people to investigate who was responsible!

As a result, these bastards, seeing that things were not going well, committed suicide by poisoning themselves. Their ruthlessness was so great that even he, the leader of the cult, was ashamed of himself!

The old cult leader thought back on the people he had offended recently, and it seemed that only that guy was one of them.

Ever since the Fifth Prince decided to deal with that guy, bad luck has started!

In addition, there is the Ninth Prince, Wu Qingye!

Others might not know how cunning Wu Qingye is, but he does!

"Could these people impersonating members of the Sun Moon Cult be the work of the Ninth Prince? The Ninth Prince and that kid are so close... Oh dear! This is too complicated! Strategist, where is the strategist?"

The old cult leader gets a headache just thinking about these complicated issues.

After calling out several times, a weak voice finally rang out:

"Master, our strategist has been killed by the imperial court's cannons."

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, the old cult leader's composure shattered on the spot!

"boom!"

He smashed the table in front of him to pieces again!

"What's the point of going crazy here now?"

Just as the old cult leader was about to kill a few people to vent his anger, a clear, cold voice drifted in from outside.
