Chapter 119

“Look who is here! Yue Ji?”

The sense of grievance in Tang Xia’s chest made her quite uncomfortable. And Tang Xia thought of that Chu Tiankuo was about to go ballistic without keeping his countenance as usual.

Although Tang Xia knew why Chu Tiankuo acted like that, she could not deal with that matter calmly so that the distance between her and Chu Tiankuo became farther and farther.

At this moment, the troops of the Country of Nanmen was coming, which meant they were in an extremely dangerous and urgent situation.

If Nanmen Yi’s troops broke into the city, innocent people would definitely be harmed. Besides, Tang Xia was reluctant to see either of Chu Tiankuo or Nanmen Yi get hurt.

But what could she do to solve the problem for the moment?

Tang Xia was totally at sea, feeling a fire burning in her heart that she could not put out.

When she thought of the baby in her belly, she could not help touching her belly and wore a gorgeous look as warm as the sunshine of March.

After sitting down slowly, Tang Xia poured a cup of tea for herself and calmed down as she drank the most of the tea. At the moment, a voice rose from the outside the door.

As Tang Xia turned around, she saw Zui Linglong in white with no other jewelry but a pure white bandeau around her silky hair which fell over her shoulder.

It seemed that Zui Linglong was wearing a white yarn covering her face, highlighting her sense of mystery.

She wore a faint and obscure smile as usual, from which people could not tell what she was laughing at.

But Tang Xia rebelled at Zui Linglong from the bottom of her heart as she regarded Zui Linglong who was quite scheming and hard to see through.

Besides, Tang Xia thought that what had happened among the ministers was mostly led by Zui Linglong.

Although Tang Xia did not know what Zui Linglong’s plan was, it would be wise for her to be on guard against Zui Linglong.

After standing up slowly, Tang Xia stared at Zui Linglong and said with a smile,

“How do you have time to see me, Zui Linglong? What do you need? I don’t welcome you. You are quite aware of the reason. Now leave.”

Tang Xia said rather unkindly as if her last words popped out of her mouth with hatred.

However, Zui Linglong did not get angry and wore her enigmatic smile all the same. As she saw Tang Xia walk toward her, Zui Linglong sat close to Tang Xia slowly.

After seeing Zui Linglong’s behavior, Tang Xia was pissed off, “How shameless Zui Linglong is! I’ve told her I don’t welcome her. How could she sit down?”

“Zui Linglong, don’t you hear what I said?”

Zui Linglong did not respond to Tang Xia’s question but said mysteriously,

“Don’t you want to know what the situation is now? Don’t you want to know where Nanmen Yi is now? As Nanmen Yi did all the things for your own good, how could you be so indifferent to him?”

As she finished her sentence, Zui Linglong stared at Tang Xia with the assurance that Tang Xia would become interested in what she had said and there was an important chip holding in Zui Linglong’s hands. How could she not be tempted?

As expected, Tang Xia froze and the anger on her face was replaced by a worried look.

But it was only a moment ago before Tang Xia came to her sense as she warned herself that Zui Linglong was setting her up by her words and she could not be fooled.

“I don’t want to hear any word from you. Just leave now. I don’t want to see you, neither do I want to listen to you. I don’t care what is happening outside or who is out there. You should get out of here right away.”

However, Zui Linglong ignored what Tang Xia had said and continued,

“How ruthless you are, Yue Ji. Nanmen Yi did everything for you. You cannot pretend that nothing happens, nor should you pretend that you don’t know him. Now you are pregnant. You cannot let your baby born without his father.

“Now Nanmen Yi is outside the city and likely to break into the city tonight. How many innocent people will be harmed?”

Tang Xia’s soft heart got hurt by Zui Linglong’s words again. When she heard that the troops of Nanmen Yi were likely to break into the city tonight, her body shook, not knowing what to do.

“What should I do if his troops invade into our city? What to do?”

Seeing that Tang Xia was shocked by her words, Zui Linglong wore an obscure smile. Then Zui Linglong put the sachet hidden in her sleeve on the table and sat comfortably with a poker face.

As long as Tang Xia brought the sachet with her for several days, Zui Linglong could enjoy a good show. “I cannot let Tang Xia deliver the baby, or he will definitely become my barrier. I cannot let such a thing happen. Absolutely.”

After a moment, Tang Xia came to her mind and found the red embroidered sachet on the table.

The sachet was embroidered with elegant lotus and fancy carp, which were so beautiful and definitely embroidered by a master. Besides, the sachet owned so faint scent that people could hardly smell it.

Although it was quite a good sachet, Zui Linglong was not a nice woman.

Tang Xia would regard whatever from Zui Linglong as a bad thing and she would lose her mind if she used what was given by Zui Linglong.

“Is it possible that Zui Linglong presents me with the good stuff?”

“What is it? Is it for me?”

Zui Linglong looked followed Tang Xia’s eyes and found the sachet on the table, but she acted quite calmly and said composedly,

“It is a sachet.”

“I won’t accept it. Take it away. I won’t take it even if you leave it here. I’ll drop it as long as you leave here. Take it with you so that I won’t waste my energy and time on it. I don’t want to see anything related to you.”

As she finished her sentence, Tang Xia wanted to toss the sachet away as she thought that everything related to Zui Linglong would be harmful to people directly or indirectly.

Zui Linglong stood up immediately and stopped Tang Xia. Then Zui Linglong said solemnly,

“It is not time to toss it away. I don’t know why you misunderstand me so deeply, but it is not a simple sachet. It can help you out of a burning issue in the future.”

Tang Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at Zui Linglong with a dismissive look.

“Why don’t I believe what you said at all? Help me out? I suppose it will definitely be harmful to me!”

Zui Linglong left with the sentence, “Believe it or not. I’ll leave it with you. It’s all up to you.”

Then Zui Linglong left. Tang Xia wanted to toss the sachet in her hands away but after a while, she left it in a corner and stopped paying more attention to it.

When Tang Xia was lying in bed, she felt quite annoyed and uncomfortable. So she fell into sleep quickly

As the full moon hung on the sky, the night sky was quite dark, highlighting the brightness of the moon. However, there was barely any breeze with the whiff of danger filled with the air as if it would turn into a sharp knife to tear the night sky up.

As the troops of Nanmen Yi had arrived in the gate of the city, his troops gained the upper hand and broke into the city after they forced the gate open.

There was quite dark inside the city except for the place where they were at war. The torches in soldiers’ hand merged into a large flame as if they lit up the horizon.

Nanmen Yi who was riding on the horse came to the front. When he saw Chu Tiankuo standing above him, he said immediately,

“Chu Tiankuo, it is our country that gains the upper hand, why don’t you surrender to us? Otherwise, more innocent people will be harmed. As long as you deliver Tang Xia to me, I can make you live longer.”

Chu Tiankuo who wore a dark silver armor stood on the gate tower with a sharp sword in hand. As the moon cast its light on the sword, it glowed with cold light, highlighting the ferocity and cruelness of Chu Tiankuo’s look.

His eyes looked like boundless abysses filling with darkness, and nothing could be seen. Chu Tiankuo wore a poker face with a strong killing intent spreading from him.

Right, it was killing intent.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Nanmen Yi as if he was a dead man and said slowly,

“Nanmen Yi, Tang Xia is my woman. How dare you to ask for my beloved woman? Show me your means. Here will be your burial ground tonight. I won’t let you leave my country alive.”

As Chu Tiankuo finished his sentence, Nanmen Yi wore a terrible and gloomy look immediately.

“It is unknown whose burial ground it will be. Now that you put up a desperate struggle, let me end your life and remove your head from you.”

Chu Tiankuo looked at Nanmen Yi coldly with endless and dark coldness in his eyes as if he had frozen the air.

The war was on the brink.

“Nanmen Yi, I’ll hold a memorial ceremony for my people with your blood. You don’t deserve mentioning Tang Xia. It is wishful thinking for you to be with her! ”

As Chu Tiankuo finished his sentence, his troops engaged with Nanmen Yi’s soldiers. Both sides who faced death unflinchingly fought hard and were reluctant to surrender to each other, splattering blood and gore over the entire area. And the bright moon was covered with a strong smell of blood and was added the color of vermilion.

As both sides were engaged in a hot battle, no one was willing to surrender to each other. So it was a life-or-death fight, which made millions of people die.
