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

Lin Ruoshui imitated Xuan Yuanyu, putting her hands into her sleeves, sighing, and shaking her head helplessly.

Special forces pushed five cannons forward and fired continuously at the city wall.

Then a series of loud rumbling sounds came, and the city wall began to collapse.

In an instant, bricks and stones flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the seemingly impregnable Wuling City Wall collapsed.

People inside and outside the city were terrified, looking at each other through the walls in a state of panic.

The seemingly indestructible city wall in their minds was easily toppled by the world's number one army, and fear and disbelief filled the faces of everyone present.

Just then, Papa Bear arrived with his army of beasts, their deafening roars sounding like a deafening earthquake from the horizon.

Only the First Army of the World remained unmoved, while the soldiers, warhorses, and civilians inside and outside the city were thrown into chaos and scattered in all directions, and the entire Wuling fell.

Meng Tuo and Xue Tingfeng each led 500,000 men, ambushing the deserters on both sides of the city wall. The terrified soldiers threw down their armor and knelt down to surrender without any will to resist.

This war was actually a "psychological warfare"; the outer city of Wuling was captured without bloodshed.

Baili Heng and Lin Ruoshui rode their horses to the inner city, which was the imperial city of Lanling Kingdom.

At this moment, the imperial city was in complete chaos. Today's battle was a swift and devastating defeat.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Baili Yuan listened to the reports from the soldiers at the front. He couldn't believe that he had been overthrown and died a tragic death just over two months after ascending the throne.

His eyes were vacant as he staggered to his feet. He wanted to go and see his adversary.

Baili Yuan, with disheveled hair, rushed toward the inner city wall, sword in hand.

Papa Bear led his army of wild animals into the city. Instead of attacking humans, the animals surveyed their surroundings.

Lin Ruoshui, sitting on her horse, saw Papa Bear and happily jumped off, running towards him.

Papa Bear stood up and ran a few steps forward. He felt too tall when he stood up, so he put down on all fours and ran towards Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui hugged Papa Bear, patted its head, and said, "Long time no see."

Papa Bear rubbed his face against hers.

Lin Ruoshui felt ticklish from the fur on Papa Bear's face, and she giggled. The two little pandas crawled out of Papa Bear's pocket and into Lin Ruoshui's arms.

At this moment, Lin Ruoshui's smile was like a painting, breathtakingly beautiful, intoxicating, and irresistible.

Sun Pengyu, a square-faced soldier from the special forces, approached Lin Ruoshui and said, "Commander, your smile is so beautiful."

"His eyes are as bright as the moon, and his smile is enough to captivate a city," said the shameless regent, Mo Qing, riding his tall horse.

When Lin Ruoshui saw that it was Mo Qing, she asked in confusion, "You're not dead?"

Mo Qing asked, "Should I be dead?"

Lin Ruoshui cupped her hands in admiration and said, "I admire you, I admire you. It seems you have a master under your command."

Mo Qing said, "I was just lucky to survive. I hope my friend will show mercy in the future."

Lin Ruoshui said, "I've already shown mercy, otherwise you would definitely be dead by now."

Mo Qing said, "Then I should thank my friend for sparing my life?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "No need to thank me, it was nothing."

Mo Qing choked.

Lin Ruoshui climbed onto the bear father's back, holding two baby pandas in her arms.

She adopted a cold and aloof demeanor, keeping everyone at arm's length.

The three bears walked away majestically, followed by a well-trained army of ferocious beasts.

Looking at everything before him, Mo Qing exclaimed, "What an extraordinary person! This man should be employed by me."

Xiu Yi rode by on horseback, startling Mo Qing with her instinctive fear of death.

Xiu Yi said, "Don't covet what you can't have, lest you lose your life."

Mo Qing dared not speak, but stared at Xiu Yi's back with hawk-like eyes.

Baili Yuan arrived at the inner city wall and looked down. Baili Heng sat on his horse, wearing golden armor, looking heroic and imposing.

The man beside him rode a huge bear. He was dressed in black armor and had an androgynous, extremely beautiful face. His expression was as cold and aloof as winter snow, making him seem like a difficult person to approach.

Baili Yuan couldn't understand what kind of incredible luck Baili Heng had to get the help of such an exceptionally capable person.

He knew his fate when news of the crushing defeat at Fengdingshan came a few days earlier.

He was prepared to perish together with Baili Hengyu. The inner city only had 50,000 elite soldiers. How could they possibly contend with an army of two million? Assassination was the best option.

Baili Yuan ordered, "Open the city gates."

The soldiers guarding the city obeyed the order and opened the city gates.

Lin Ruoshui and her entourage marched straight in. Upon seeing Baili Heng and Lin Ruoshui, Baili Yuan led his palace servants to prostrate themselves on the ground.

Baili Yuan said, "Brother, I was wrong. Please spare my life, considering we are brothers."

Baili Heng dismounted and came to Baili Yuan, looking down at Baili Yuan who was lying not far away.

Baili Heng said, "You murdered your father and mother, and even death would not atone for your sins!"

Baili Yuan raised his head and said, "Since you have no regard for brotherhood, then don't blame me for taking you all down with me."

Suddenly, Baili Yuan jumped three feet high, took out a large bag of medicine powder from his pocket, and sprinkled it on Lin Ruoshui and Baili Heng.

Xiu Yi moved even faster than Baili Yuan. He mobilized his internal energy to form a barrier, and neither Baili Heng nor Lin Ruoshui got any poison powder on them.

Meanwhile, the guards nearby inhaled the poison powder, vomited blood, and collapsed to the ground.

Xiu Yi struck Baili Yuan in the chest with a palm strike, sending him flying a great distance.

Unexpectedly, all the palace servants crawling on the ground were assassins arranged by Baili Yuan.

They all pulled out poison powder from their pockets and threw it at Baili Heng and the others.

As the poisonous powder rained down, Xiu Yi channeled her inner strength to deflect it back towards the assassin.

Just as Xiu Yi was concentrating, an assassin appeared behind Lin Ruoshui, thrusting a long sword straight at Lin Ruoshui's back.

With a soft thud, the sword tip pierced her flesh. Lin Ruoshui turned around and saw a tall figure blocking her way; that person was Ouyang Xuri.

The sword pierced through his chest, and Lin Ruoshui cried out in terror, "Ouyang Xuri!"

The assassin drew his longsword, and the wind from the sword whistled through the air once more. Lin Ruoshui mobilized her inner strength and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

The palm struck the assassin's skull directly, and he immediately died, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Ouyang Xuri staggered, and Lin Ruoshui stepped forward to help him up.

He then leaned his weight onto Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui helped him up and said, "Sit down first, I'll help you stop the bleeding."

Ouyang Xuri sat down on the spot, and Lin Ruoshui pressed several acupoints on him to help stop the bleeding.

Since there was no hemostatic medicine available at the moment, Lin Ruoshui helped him tighten the bandage around the wound.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Zhongjun, quickly summon Physician Li. Baili Heng, where is the Imperial Physician's office?"

Baili Heng ordered his personal attendants to lead the way, and Lin Ruoshui directly picked up Ouyang Xuri and rushed towards the Imperial Physician's Office.

It was the first time Ouyang Xuri had ever been carried in a princess carry, and by a woman he liked at that. He felt completely uncomfortable.

Ouyang Xuri looked up at Lin Ruoshui's perfect jawline with embarrassment and said, "Put me down quickly. How can you hug me in public?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Your injuries are severe, and you need to stop the bleeding immediately."

Ouyang Xuri thought to himself, "The current situation is not very harmful, but extremely humiliating!"

Ouyang Xuri kicked his legs and said, "Put me down quickly!"

Lin Ruoshui carried him and ran extremely fast. A drop of sweat fell onto Ouyang Xuri's cheek, directly burning Ouyang Xuri's heart.

Ouyang Xuri stopped struggling and quietly looked at the small woman in front of him who was breathing rapidly, feeling her soft and warm embrace.

Ouyang Xuri suddenly liked this feeling. If she could keep holding him like this, he would be willing to put aside his manly pride.

Ouyang Xuri's face gently pressed against Lin Ruoshui's body. Amidst the jolts, he was enjoying himself immensely when suddenly, two streams of blood flowed from his nose.

Lin Ruoshui happened to look down and saw it. She thought to herself, "Oh no, this sword wound looks very serious."

Ouyang Xuri casually wiped away the nosebleed that had shattered his romantic mood.

He glanced sideways at Lin Ruoshui, who was very close, and as soon as he caught a glimpse of her vague outline, blood gushed from his nose.

Lin Ruoshui was terrified. She shouted, "Quick, quick! He might be dying!"

Ouyang Xuri was so dizzy from being jostled around by Lin Ruoshui that his nose started bleeding profusely, like a flood that had been released.

Ouyang Xuri closed his eyes and stopped looking, but listening to Lin Ruoshui's disordered breathing, his heart began to pound like a drum, his blood boiled, and his whole body stiffened.

"Heavens above! What should I do? Should I look or not? Should I listen or not?" Ouyang Xuri thought through gritted teeth.

He looked up and saw Lin Ruoshui's fair neck and the faintly visible collarbone. He felt his mouth go dry, and it seemed that his wound no longer hurt.

He went all out, turning his face to press against her body, closing his eyes to listen to her rapid breathing. Just as he was about to enjoy it, Lin Ruoshui slammed him onto the table in the Imperial Medical Bureau with a "thump".

His head slammed heavily against the corner of the table. Ouyang Xuri thought to himself, "This is the retribution for being shameless and despicable!"

Lin Ruoshui quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I tripped over the threshold. Is your head alright?"

Blood trickled from Ouyang Xuri's head, but he wiped it away and said, "It's nothing!"

Seeing him covered in blood, Lin Ruoshui thought of the time when Xuan Yuan Yu died.

Her tears fell in large drops without warning.

Just as Ouyang Xuri was about to comfort her, the annoying imperial physician stepped in front of him and began to take his pulse.

Ouyang Xuri rolled his eyes at the annoying imperial physician.

The imperial physician was terrified and said, "This patient only suffered a sword wound, but unexpectedly, he has developed symptoms such as rolling his eyes and nosebleeds. Could it be that the sword was poisoned?"

Lin Ruoshui was even more heartbroken upon hearing this, and tears streamed down her face.

Ouyang Xuri became anxious. He sprang to his feet and kicked the imperial physician aside, shouting, "You quack!"

Lin Ruoshui was completely bewildered by Ouyang Xuri's bizarre actions.

Ouyang Xu, his chest bulging with blood, said to Lin Ruoshui, "Don't cry, I'm perfectly fine."

Lin Ruoshui watched as he was almost covered in blood; the wound from his earlier struggle with the carp striking the iron was bleeding profusely.

Lin Ruoshui couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She said, "If you move any further, you'll bleed to death. Sit down quickly."

Ouyang Xuri looked down at his feet and saw that the blood had already flowed down to his instep. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. I've been injured much more badly before and it didn't bother me. It won't bother me now either."

After saying that, he felt dizzy and collapsed into Lin Ruoshui's arms.
