Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Amur glanced into the house and said, "Lord Lu, give me the woman from yesterday, and I'll leave now."

Lu Wang said, "You're dreaming! You've raised an army in rebellion, a crime that cannot be forgiven. Daoist Lingxiao, you must kill him now."

Lingxiao Daoist completely ignored Lu Wang; his intervention was solely out of consideration for his father, Emperor Ouyang Yueming.

How could he possibly listen to this blond-haired waiter?

When Prince Lu realized that his commands were ineffective, he lowered his head and looked at Daoist Lingxiao with a sinister gaze.

Lingxiao Daoist said, "Amur, since you won't leave, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Amur said, "Alright, I'll give Lingxiao Daoist some face today, let's go!"

After saying this, Amur looked disappointed and left the general's mansion in a huff.

After receiving news that the number one army in the world was pressing on his borders, he thought to himself that since he had already rebelled against the imperial court, he might as well open the city gates and surrender to the number one army in the world.

He did just that, as he was extremely familiar with the city's defenses. They took a shortcut to the city gate.

Amur and his private army fought their way through the city, their bodies stained with blood, until they broke through the city gates and reached the outside of the city.

The soldiers of the world's number one army, who were besieging the city, were overjoyed to see the city gates wide open.

Seeing the opportunity, Baili Heng took a deep breath, gripped his longsword tightly, swung it forcefully, and shouted, "Charge!"

He spurred his horse and charged forward. His warhorse reared up and neighed, its hooves churning, and it charged through the city gate like a black lightning bolt.

Baili Heng gripped the reins tightly, his body rising and falling on the horse's back, but his gaze remained as firm as a rock.

The soldiers' morale soared when they saw how brave and fearless the new emperor was.

They followed closely behind, surging forward like a torrent, the neighing of warhorses, the clanging of weapons, and the shouts of warriors intertwining into a magnificent war song.

Led by Baili Heng, they stormed into the city gate with unstoppable momentum.

Upon receiving news of the city gates falling, Prince Lu and Daoist Lingxiao were extremely agitated. Prince Lu paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan.

He ordered his guards to carry Lin Ruoshui and take Ling Ye with them as they evacuated.

Lingxiao Daoist said to Lu Wang, "The south gate has been breached. We should now head to the north gate, where 10 Gu people are lying in ambush."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ye, who was standing behind Lu Wang, was shocked: "There are actually 10 Gu people! So many!"

Lingxiao Daoist took countless lives to obtain 10 Gu people; this old Daoist is truly utterly depraved.

Ling Ye quietly left the house and went to Lin Ruoshui's room to tell her about the Gu people.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Ling Ye, I have a favor to ask of you."

Seeing Lin Ruoshui's serious demeanor, Ling Ye had a bad feeling.

Ling Ye said, "What is it? Tell me."

Lin Ruoshui said, "You should leave now and quickly tell Baili Heng the news, otherwise the number one army in the world may be wiped out because of these 10 Gu people."

Ling Ye said, "But you..."

Lin Ruoshui interrupted him, saying, "I'm fine. Prince Lu likes you and me now, so he definitely won't treat us badly. You don't need to worry."

I will follow them, leaving traces along the way. After you deliver the message, come and rescue me.

Ling Ye said, "I'll carry you and run, or we can go into the bathtub now and change back."

Lin Ruoshui said, "It's too late, I'm begging you!"

Ling Ye's eyes were filled with worry, but he still made a decisive decision.

Ling Ye always manages to remain calm in the face of major events, which is his greatest strength.

Ling Ye said, "You must wait safely until I come to rescue you."

Lin Ruoshui nodded, and Ling Ye flew onto the roof and disappeared from the mansion in an instant.

Unable to find Ling Ye's whereabouts, the Prince of Lu flew into a rage and left dozens of guards to search for Ling Ye in the city.

Having lost Ling Ye, he feared losing Lin Ruoshui as well, so he ordered his bodyguards to protect her closely, never leaving her side.

Prince Lu was exhausted from riding his horse, while Lin Ruoshui lay back in the carriage, leisurely eating melon seeds and looking at her sketchbook.

When Prince Lu and Daoist Lingxiao arrived at the North Gate, the guards there hurriedly opened the gate to let them pass.

Before parting ways, Prince Lu and Daoist Lingxiao agreed to meet at an inn 50 li outside the city. Daoist Lingxiao flicked his whisk and vanished from everyone's sight.

The moment Prince Lu stepped out of the city gate, his panicked heart calmed down a little.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the breath of nature flowing through his chest.

He closed his eyes, letting the gentle breeze caress his face, carrying away a trace of fatigue and anxiety.

As night fell, they traveled 30 li (approximately 15 kilometers) in one go.

Prince Lu ordered everyone to rest on the spot. He dismounted, straightened his robes, and walked steadily to the carriage.

His expression returned to its original composure and confidence.

He gently lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Ling'er, are you scared? I've come to keep you company."

Lin Ruoshui smiled brightly and said, "With Your Highness here, I'm not afraid."

Prince Lu squeezed into the carriage, grasped Lin Ruoshui's hand and said, "Today was truly dangerous. I have decided that we should head north as fast as we can and return to the capital to report the situation here to my father."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Is Your Highness planning to take me back to your residence?"

Prince Lu said, "Of course, how could I bear to let you live outside? Once we find Ni Niang, the three of us can stay together day and night and be happy every day."

Lin Ruoshui rolled her eyes inwardly as she watched Lu Wang's increasingly nonsensical speech.

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Who was that Taoist priest just now? Could he tell my fortune?"

Prince Lu laughed heartily, pinching Lin Ruoshui's beautiful face, which he rubbed back and forth with great affection.

Lin Ruoshui's face, or more precisely Ling Ye's face, was turned into various emojis.

After he finished laughing, he hugged Lin Ruoshui and said, "That's Daoist Lingxiao, the person my father values ​​most. He's incredibly capable."

However, this person was cold-hearted by nature, and his favorite thing was to study those terrifying Gu people.

Lin Ruoshui said, "So powerful? Then Your Highness should try to win this person over."

Prince Lu said, "Hmph, that Taoist priest is completely impervious to reason. He only does what he wants. He only saved me today because of my father's sake."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Even the Prince is wary of him. Is he that powerful? Does he have no weaknesses?"

Prince Lu smiled slyly and said, "I have many men under my command, and I have already investigated people like this thoroughly."

Lin Ruoshui pretended to admire Prince Lu and said, "Your Highness is truly amazing. Why don't you tell me about it? Then I won't be afraid of him anymore."

Prince Lu leaned close to Lin Ruoshui's ear, his lips near her earlobe. Before he could speak, Prince Lu's heart began to pound uncontrollably; he actually wanted the person in front of him right now.

King Lu knew that he was on the run and it was not the time to torment the beauty.

He suppressed his inner turmoil, gently kissed Lin Ruoshui's ear, and said, "His method of controlling Gu people is to use his primordial yang energy."

If you give him a woman, hmph, then he'll never be able to control the Gu people again.

Lin Ruoshui's eyelashes trembled slightly as she said, "That old Taoist priest, at such an advanced age, is still a virgin?"

Prince Lu looked disdainful and said, "Hmm, it's a wonder he's a man; he doesn't even know the wonders of being a man."

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "If everyone were a beast like you, how many innocent women would die?"

Lu Wang's large face came close, and Lin Ruoshui instinctively dodged.

Prince Lu looked at Lin Ruoshui with displeasure and said, "We have been intimate for the past two days and nights, so why are you acting so distant from me in this carriage?"
