Meteor and Qin Su had discussed this serious issue.

Unlike Han Zixuan's other husbands, Yi Chen was not a proper bride.

Our sect leader is an unmarried woman. If she goes back to the capital with Han Zixuan, she will inevitably be looked down upon by the young men of the Han family.

Although these were just their guesses, they still had to make some careful plans for their own leader.

We must get a satisfactory answer from Han Zixuan.

Han Zixuan narrowed her eyes slightly; so that's what "craving the moon" meant.

“Naturally, we will welcome him back to the mansion as his lawfully wedded husband!”

Shi Yue relaxed a little and said gently.

"Her word is as good as gold; please don't forget that!"

Han Zixuan chuckled. Yi Chen was the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion. Although he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that the others in the pavilion wouldn't have their own thoughts.

His fondness for the moon was also for Yichen and the arrival of night.

"I, Han Zixuan, always keep my promises..."

Shi Yue exclaimed excitedly, "When the Pavilion Master marries Lady Han, our Dark Night Pavilion will be at Lady Han's beck and call!"

Since the Pavilion Master married Lady Han, he can be considered half a master of the Dark Night Pavilion.

Han Zixuan looked at Shi Yue's leg and was afraid that the injury was very serious.

Now that things have been discussed openly, they can be considered a rare source of assistance.

Meteor's severed arm cannot regenerate, but the injuries of Shiyue and Jiuyue are not a problem.

He then took out a thumb-sized bottle from his pocket and threw it at Shi Yue!

"You and September each have half, drink it!" With that, the man turned and left.

While Shiyue was still somewhat dazed, Liuxing's eyes lit up when he saw the small jade bottle.

Excitedly, I looked at it from left to right, then carefully opened it and took a sniff.

Nodding in surprise, "This...this...is divine water..." Shi Yue was completely bewildered, "What water..."

Meteor looked around mysteriously, checking its surroundings.

The two figures then disappeared from the spot.

Before the morning mist had dissipated and the sun had risen, the army of Dongsang Kingdom was already arrayed five miles outside the city.

Banners fluttered in the wind, and the cold glint of armor blended together in the morning light, a silent pressure sweeping across the wilderness.

At the very front of the procession, an ebony carriage decorated with silver patterns stood quietly, its curtains drawn, isolating it from the noise of the outside world.

Inside the car, Wen Qing leaned against the soft cushions covered with fox fur, her brows furrowed with an unyielding gloom, like ink tempered with ice.

His face was so pale it was almost transparent, and even his lips had lost all color.

Only her tightly pursed jawline, revealing an unyielding stubbornness, made her slightly closed eyelashes appear as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

The servants stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a sound.

As Wenqing slowly opened her eyes, a cool, clear voice slowly rang out.

"Are you all ready?"

A middle-aged woman dressed in general's attire, around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, surnamed Du, was a general in the current Dongsang Kingdom. She bowed and said...

"Your Highness, everything is ready..."

"Alright, then start preparing for the siege!!!"

He vowed not to rest until he avenged this grudge...

Han Zixuan, I'm going to make you pay back all the pain you caused me!

"It's Your Highness!"

On the city wall, a voice cried out, "Reporting to Commandant Han, enemy troops have been spotted five li ahead!"

"Reporting to Commander Han, the enemy has 30,000 soldiers at the front and 20,000 left to guard the rear!"

"Notify all lieutenants to prepare for battle and await my orders when the enemy approaches!"

"Yes!"

The gentle carriage came to a slow stop two hundred meters from the city gate.

He did not advance any further, but waved to the attendant beside him.

"Send men to attack the city first!"

"Men! Attack the city!"

At a command, more than twenty strong soldiers carried a giant wooden stake that was as thick as a person's embrace.

With steady steps, they moved toward the city gate. The wooden stakes were firmly bound by iron chains, their bottoms leaving deep ruts in the ground, and each step made the ground tremble slightly.

“哈!——哈!——”

Han Zixuan, who was watching everything warily from the top of the city wall, slowly waved her hand.

"Don't rush... wait until they get closer before pouring the oil in!"

Dozens of men carrying huge wooden stakes were struggling to get closer to the city gate.

Unexpectedly, buckets of oil fell from the sky, soaking them from head to toe.

My whole body was soaked in oil, and everything was slippery.

The ground was muddy and slippery, and one by one they could no longer hold on.

He had no strength left in his hands and couldn't grip the slippery rope.

After his hand slipped, the huge wooden stake crashed to the ground.

The immense weight caused those trying to lift it to fall one by one, unable to lift it any further.

The imposing manner they had just displayed has now turned into an extremely comical scene.

Those on the city wall burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"Haha...haha, this oil is really good."

Look at them, they look like a bunch of toads.

He couldn't even get up... and he still wanted to lift that wooden stake.

"Hehe! Commandant Han's method is really effective. Let's see how they manage to attack the city now."

"If they dare to go any further, then just throw the torches down!"

Let them taste what it's like to be roasted by fire..."

News of what happened here quickly reached Wenqing!

"His Highness and his men couldn't stand steadily when they poured oil down from the city wall, and they couldn't get close to the city gate."

"What?" Her uninjured right hand gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

His eyes blazed with fury, "Hmph, what a brilliant plan! Send down the order to block the captured slaves in front of the army."

Make Han Zixuan come out in person. If she doesn't come out, then kill ten people in a quarter of an hour.

"Keep fighting until Han Zixuan comes out..."

Then the army slowly approached the city gate.

On the open ground at the city gate, Dongsang soldiers drove dozens of Fenglin Kingdom civilians to the front of the battle line.

These people were dressed in rags, strung together like livestock by a thick hemp rope, their faces filled with terror and despair.

Trembling, they stood between the Dongsang army and the city gate, becoming living human shields.

"Waaah... I... don't want to die..."

General Du spurred his horse forward a few steps, his long sword pointing directly at the city tower, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Han Zixuan! Get out here right now!" Her bloodshot eyes swept across the city walls, each word dripping with venom.

“If you dare to hide and not show yourself, I will cut off ten heads from among these people every fifteen minutes! Let’s see how long you can protect this city gate!”

The shrill cries echoed across the wilderness, startling a few suppressed sobs from among the bound people.

The deputy general on the city wall saw so many innocent civilians being used as human shields to blackmail them.

With bloodshot eyes, these Dongsang Kingdom soldiers are no good.

They actually used innocent civilians as blackmail... I'm so angry!

He snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier's hand and aimed it at General Du, who was speaking.

He was immediately stopped by a soldier who said, "Deputy General Hai... Commander Han said we should follow her instructions...!"

If this ruins the plan, wouldn't Commander Han skin them alive?

The furious deputy general, after catching his breath, shoved the bow and arrow in his hand heavily at the soldier.

He spat fiercely on the city wall, then turned and descended the city tower.

As soon as she stood still, she saw Han Zixuan, who was already fully prepared and ready to go, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Commander Han... what's wrong with you?!"

Han Zixuan straightened her cloak, glanced at her indifferently, and said in a deep voice.

Have you forgotten what you're supposed to be doing?
