The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

As night fell, Cang Zhihe emerged from the secret passage and quietly opened the city gates of Haimu City.

Seeing that the guard at the gate had fainted, Hu Lieyunxiao was overjoyed. "I didn't expect you to actually have some skills."

He looked Cang Zhihe up and down.

Wasn't everyone saying that the city lord's daughter was incomparably charming and had a beauty that could captivate anyone at first sight? How come she's just a steamed bun?

Cang Zhihe noticed his gaze and awkwardly pulled her cloak tighter around herself.

She turned her head and chuckled, a smug look on her face.

"Everyone says that this regent is terrifying, but in my opinion, he's nothing special!"

I never imagined that my little bit of sleeping potion could so easily take down these guards.

Hu Lieyunxiao turned his head and looked around.

The night was deep and the city was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. A bad feeling flashed through his mind, but it was overshadowed by his eagerness to make a contribution, and he didn't give it much thought.

He came out without Wu Muyou's knowledge.

Wu Muyou concealed the treasure map from him and secretly mined the veins behind his back. He lost the initiative, and it was too late to go to Mount Gumeng now.

Why not use this city defense map to take Haimu City first?

Once the matter is settled, we will report the mining to His Majesty. At that time, Wu Muyou will have no merit and will be severely punished by His Majesty for illegally mining a mine!

Just thinking about that scene filled Hu Lieyunxiao with a sense of pleasure.

With a wave of his hand, several elite troops took advantage of the darkness and quietly attacked several important locations marked on the city's defense map.

"Miss Cang, if we can capture Haimu City, you will have accomplished a great feat. I will report to His Majesty and reward you handsomely!"

"No need for rewards, I only ask that General Hulie kill the regent and that woman with the dragon flame beside him!" Cang Zhihe said viciously.

"The Dragon Flame Woman?" Hu Lieyunxiao gripped his spear tighter. "Miss Cang is referring to Princess Yongning, Zhai Rongyu?"

"General Hulie also knows this person?"

"More than just recognizing her," Hu Lieyunxiao gritted his teeth, "I have an irreconcilable hatred for her!"

"That's wonderful!" Cang Zhihe laughed sharply. "Since we share the same goal, the cooperation will surely be pleasant."

"The Regent's military equipment and supplies are all stored in the courtyard at the west corner gate of the City Lord's Mansion. I'll take General Hu Lie there now, and we'll burn it all down. Let's see how they manage to succeed then!"

“But…” Hu Lieyunxiao hesitated, “According to the city defense map, that’s the most heavily guarded place, and it’s also close to the main building. If we go there now, won’t we be alerting the enemy?”

"General Hu Lie, do not worry."

Cang Zhihe walked to the edge of the city wall and opened the entrance to the secret passage. "Let's go through the secret passage without anyone noticing. By the time the regent discovers it, it will be too late."

When Hu Lieyunxiao saw the entrance to the secret passage that appeared out of nowhere, his eyes widened, and after a moment of stunned silence, he burst into laughter with delight.

"Okay! That's great!"

"I never imagined the former city lord had such a clever idea!"

"Miss Cang, please!"

The group entered the secret passage in the dark.

Before long, they arrived at the courtyard at the west corner gate.

Once everyone had exited the secret passage, a talisman was silently affixed to the entrance, and the door slammed shut.

Hu Lieyunxiao turned around in surprise and doubt, "What's going on?!"

Cang Zhihe reached out to push the secret passage door, but found that she couldn't open it no matter what she did, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

"Don't push it! You can't push away my talisman." A voice came from the eaves.

Cang Zhihe and Hu Lieyunxiao turned their heads and saw Zhai Rongyu standing on the roof, twirling a ribbon with one finger and looking at them with a mocking gaze.

Jun Ce stood beside her with his hands behind his back.

“Regent… Regent Prince…” Cang Zhihe’s legs went weak.

She barely managed to stay upright by leaning against the secret passage door.

"It's you again!" Hu Lieyunxiao was furious. He raised his spear and pointed it at Zhai Rongyu. "You vixen, you have toyed with me many times. I will not let you off today!"

“General Hu Lie, it’s been a long time!” Zhai Rongyu smiled at him, her dimples blooming in the moonlight.

"With such a fiery temper, be careful not to burn yourself!"

She made a face, causing the tiles under her feet to wobble, and Jun Ce reached out to steady her.

"Be careful."

Zhai Rongyu secretly stuck out her tongue.

Why are these roof tiles so slippery?

Hu Lieyunxiao glanced at Jun Ce, then at Zhai Rongyu, and suddenly chuckled maliciously, "Don't worry, this fire of mine will only burn you."

"The things I didn't finish in Guanling City last time, I could think about every day."

He licked his lips, his tone playful, "Princess Yongning has fair skin and a delicate figure; she's perfect for putting out this fire for me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of lightning struck him head-on. Hu Lieyunxiao was shocked and immediately used his inner strength to dodge, but he was still struck by the remaining lightning and groaned as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The silver armor was charred black.

Even the soft gold-threaded armor worn close to the skin was slightly burned.

Hu Lieyunxiao pressed his aching chest and looked up in disbelief, meeting Jun Ce's icy gaze.

He lowered his brow, looking even more fierce and intimidating than usual.

"You touched her?" He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice cold and deep.

"No, no! Absolutely not!" Zhai Rongyu hurriedly waved her hand and interrupted, afraid that if she explained too late, the little mole on her back would suffer again.

She turned around and pointed at Hu Lieyunxiao while cursing.

"Are you Pikachu's sister itching for a beating?!"

"Let me tell you! Spreading rumors has costs! Don't you know who you're touching?"

"You touched Fucha Xiangming!"

Hu Lieyunxiao sneered, "If he hadn't transformed into your appearance, why would I have touched him!"

He gave Jun Ce a somewhat provocative look.

"So, in the end, what I touched was actually you."

Zhai Rongyu sensed Jun Ce's anger, her expression changed, and she knew things were going badly. She lost all interest in spinning the ribbon and angrily pointed at Hu Lieyunxiao.

"Your grandma sees that you can't say anything nice with that dog's mouth, so I'll shut it up for you!"

Just as she was about to reach for the talisman, a sharp bolt of lightning flew past her and struck straight at Hu Lieyunxiao.

"what!!!!"

"My hand!!!"

Hu Lieyunxiao's left arm was severed and rolled on the ground. He screamed and threw down his spear with his right hand, covering the bleeding wound in his arm. His rugged face became somewhat ferocious.

Cang Zhihe was terrified by this turn of events, and her body slid slowly to the ground, pressed against the secret passage door.

"Which hand did you use to touch her? Your left hand? Or your right hand?"

Jun Ce's cold voice came from above.

Hu Lieyunxiao gritted his teeth and endured the pain. When he looked up at him again, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Heh." He chuckled coldly, seemingly unafraid of death.

"Now that my army has infiltrated Haimu City, what use is your high cultivation level?"

"They still can't defend the city!"

He pointed his blood-stained right hand at Zhai Rongyu, a bloodthirsty smile on his face, "If you exchange this woman for me, I might consider withdrawing my troops from Haimu City."
