Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

She could no longer seek revenge on the two she had faced before, but how could she not see this one with her own eyes?

“Xuefu…” Yan Meng pulled her back, “Don’t look, it’s disgusting.”

"Brother Meng, don't treat me like a weak woman. Not long ago, I killed two people who tried to bully me."

Gouging out eyes, cutting out noses, cutting off tongues, severing limbs.

Xin Xuefu said this to let Yan Meng know that she was not a kind person.

Because she had already sensed that Yan Meng had a very strong purpose for her and treated her like a harmless and delicate flower.

she is not.

No.

They don't need his protection or his presence.

Yan Meng's eyes narrowed, and he released his grip.

Gouging out eyes, cutting out noses, cutting off tongues, severing limbs?

Shin-Snowflake came to the bushes and saw the incomplete corpse.

Gouge out eyes, cut off hands, cut out tongues.

There are still a few things missing; perhaps they haven't been finished?

Yan Meng is a decisive and ruthless general; he shouldn't have any perverse or wicked tastes. How could he...?

Could it be those two constables from before...?

No, it's impossible.

He couldn't possibly know those things.

Those...unbearable and disgusting past events.

Xin Xuefu's face turned pale, her eyes darted around, and she desperately suppressed the nausea rising in her chest.

"I told you not to look."

Yan Meng sighed helplessly, his tall figure blocking her view.

"Let's go." He placed his hand lightly on Xin Xuefu's shoulder, in an embrace.

Xin Xuefu stepped aside and quickly took a few steps forward.

Yan Meng was tall and strong, and every time he came to her, he adopted a protective posture.

Therefore, she never felt afraid; instead, she felt as if all the wind and rain were kept at bay.

This feeling started the first time he stood in front of her and drove Huo Jianglin away.

this is not right.

"Brother Meng, could you please stay away from me in the future? You're making me very uncomfortable."

besides……"

New Snowflake took out two exquisite knife ornaments and gently placed them on the large rock beside her.

"Here you go, I hope you find a beautiful wife soon."

Yan Meng stared intently at Xin Xuefu as she hurriedly ran away.

So you finally said it?

Well, now that things are out in the open, he doesn't need to hold back anymore. He should just stay away from her.

impossible!

He picked up the two knife ornaments from the stone.

Ok?

Two?

It's exactly the same!

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly laughed.

So it was all destined!

I need to send a message to my mother.

Yan Meng emerged from the woods, sat down in the carriage, his brows and eyes bright and clear, looking to be in a great mood.

Lu Shishen was very surprised and took the opportunity to ask, "General Yan, do those Gu worms also control people's minds?"

"That's right, but it's much less advanced than that curse. The Gu worms will die after one use. We usually use it for interrogation and torture."

He turned back and asked, "Mistress, do you still have any Gu Kings? Can you give me two?"

Sang Ning: "...Uh."

It seems that without Du Xin's control, this body doesn't know how to react.

He can only say a few simple words.

"No rush, we can give it to Du Xin after we kill him. Giddy up!" Yan Meng cracked his whip.

"The mistress also has Gu worms?" Lu Shishen was even more astonished.

"Of course, the mistress raises a Gu King, it's so beautiful, with a white body, a red head, and spiral patterns..."

Inside, Xin Xuefu listened intently, then opened her eyes wide to look at Sang Ning.

How come she didn't know Ning'er was raising Gu worms?

It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!

Sang Ning held the flowers that Xin Xuefu had just picked for her, speechless with frustration.

Lu Shishen slightly opened his mouth.

Then he took out a package from his pocket, found a small oil paper packet inside, and carefully opened it.

He held something between his thumb and forefinger and handed it to Yan Meng.

"General Yan, what you said sounds a bit like this, doesn't it?"

"Holy crap! Whoosh—" Yan slammed on the brakes.

A soft cry came from inside the car, and Yan Meng couldn't care less.

Tiger's eyes were wide open, staring at the dried corpse in Lu Shishen's hand.

"The Gu King? How could he be dead!"

"This is not Gu King, but Silkworm Erosion. It has a miraculous effect in treating rheumatism. The mistress gave me a jar, and I have already dried it."

"!!!!!!"

Impossible, this is impossible!

The mistress said something different from what he said.

Mistress?

Sang Ning twirled a flower in her hand, smiling silently.

……

Northern Xinjiang.

On the banks of the Blackwater River.

A plume of yellow smoke drifted away with the wind.

"Retreat! Retreat—it's poisonous smoke!"

The bugle call for an emergency retreat sounded, and the Dongyang army retreated like a receding tide.

This battle marked the first victory for Northern Mongolia after suffering two consecutive defeats.

The continuous fighting over the past few days has left both sides exhausted.

The northern Mongolian army raised its flag and announced a temporary ceasefire.

Logically, Dongyang should have been eager to have it, but Huo Chang'an gave another order.

"Continue the attack!"

"We can't attack anymore! We need to rest!" Bei Gongting protested.

"Who is willing to lead troops into battle! After this battle, those who have rendered meritorious service will be rewarded, and one of them will be promoted three ranks!" Huo Chang'an looked at the generals below.

Wu Gaoda was the first to step forward: "This humble general would gladly die a thousand deaths!"

Shao Qing: "This humble general will give his life!"

Huo Jingya's eyes shone brightly: "Elite Team Captain Huo Jingya requests to join the battle!"

Huo Jiangchu: "Huo Jiangchu, captain of the Divine Blade Team, requests to join the battle!"

Feng Dali: "Feng Dali, captain of the Crimson Flame Team, requests to join the battle!"

The Huo family army is all fearless!

Even though they were all injured, didn't they feel tired?

They have been attacking for three days straight!

The father and son, Bei Gongting, were puzzled, but they admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not over yet.

Heroes and generals who had gathered from various places began to step forward.

"Chang Lifu of Jiujiang is willing to lead his ten thousand men to surrender to the Huo family army!"

"Fengtian Wu Huaichuan is willing to lead his 5000 men to surrender to the Huo family army!"

……

Scattered and scattered, another 50,000 troops from various places have joined Huo's army!

Bei Gongting sighed deeply.

How could those useless men in the capital possibly contend with such a powerful Huo family army?

The capable rise to power, and the incompetent step down. Don't blame the Beigong Army for turning against them; it's just the way things are.

"Bei Gongjun is willing to fight!"

"it is good!"

The young man had a cold and aloof face, his eyes were gleaming with a chilling light, his red cloak fluttered like a raging fire, and he held his long sword high, exuding an aura as fierce as a tiger that could swallow a thousand miles.

"Generals, obey the order!"

"Your subordinate is here!" The voice boomed like thunder, soaring into the sky.

"Wu Gaoda, leading an army of 30,000, is heading 80 li to the northeast..."

"Feng Dali, lead 10,000 troops, fifty li to the northwest..."

……

He kept talking, as if he had already calculated it out in his mind many times.

That arrangement, one direction at a time, is clearly...

Bei Gongyao was shocked; that was the location of the Northern Mongols' troop deployment that the mysterious person had told him about that day!

Has Huo Chang'an confirmed that it's true?

Could it be that the message was sent by the spies that the old Marquis had placed in Northern Mongolia?

Regardless of any remaining doubts, the order has been given and must be obeyed. The Beigong Army will fight with all its might!

If we win this battle, what does it matter if the Beigong army surrenders?

Finally, Huo Chang'an looked at the only female general present.

"Huo Jingya, lead an elite team of three thousand men, and use thunderbolts to cleave mountains and seas to clear the way for the main army!"

Thunder of the sky!

It's the powerful weapon we used before!

Wasn't that extremely rare, with only a few dozen used each time to intimidate the enemy, and that they've already run out?

besides?

"Elite Team member Huo Jingya obeys!"

Huo Jingya waved her hand towards the distance.

Three eight-wheeled chariots slowly drove by, leaving deep ruts on the ground where their wheels passed.

This clearly demonstrates its immense weight.

All of them, earth-shattering thunderbolts?
