The emperor's carriage leaving the city was naturally a big affair. The neat troops behind him had long since been prepared and were waiting for the carriage to leave the city.

Dugu Qing Kuang then waved his hand, "I'll bring a few men with me. The army doesn't need to accompany them. They're in my territory, so I don't believe that anyone would dare to assassinate me."

"Your Majesty, please don't. We haven't caught any of the evildoers from the imperial court yet. His Majesty is traveling so lightly, but if there's a trap, then is His Majesty in danger?"

Someone stopped him. He hadn't finished his words, but the meaning of his words could already be clearly heard.

He knew clearly in his heart that he had stumbled upon the shadow on the snowy mountain, so there was no one who would intentionally use this to attract his attention and set up a trap to harm him. After all, he had been very pleased with himself for deciding to go up to the tower today, and seeing that shadow was a coincidence.

Some of these ministers were loyal to him in the past, and now that he had ascended to the throne, they were all conferred high titles, while others were barely able to submit to him under the coercion of his iron hand. However, in his heart, he also knew what kind of intentions he had, and if it wasn't for his new enthronement, his treasures wouldn't have been stable, or else he would have sent them off one by one.

"I know what I'm doing. General Li, there's no need to say it anymore!" "Let's go!" Dugu Qing Kuang gently extended a hand, and said a few words. The general who had advised him not to leave the city in light attire did not speak again, as if he was completely convinced by Dugu Qing Kuang's words.

When Dugu Qing Kuang arrived at the foot of the snowy mountain that Leng Hong Xiu was climbing up, he discovered an old man looking up anxiously. The mountain was quite steep, and the clouds were thick and the snow was thick, so where could he see Leng Hong Xiu?

Hearing the sound of the snowy dogs running behind him, another person wanted to climb the snowy mountain, taking advantage of the good day. He could not help but sigh and not look back.

Only when he heard a shrill voice that was neither male nor female come from behind, "Insolent old man, after seeing the Emperor here, you actually didn't even turn your head?"

Imperial carriage? It took the old man a while to realize that it was the emperor. His legs suddenly started shaking, and he quickly turned around and kneeled down. "This commoner didn't know that Your Majesty was here. This commoner is terrified, and this commoner is guilty …"

"You can get up first. I am asking you, were you the one who pulled the people on this snowy mountain?" What Dugu Qing Kuang was curious about was the person who had climbed up, how could he have the time to blame an old man?

"Yes, yes. That lady gave me five taels of silver and told me to drive her here. I'll wait for her to return with me to the city." The old man's voice trembled for a while before he finally finished.

"Madam? You mean it was a woman who climbed on her own? " Dugu Qing Kuang became even more curious, this was completely outside of his expectations.

"Yes, yes, long live. A very young lady." The old man bowed again.

"Yes, I understand. You can go back now." The old man was a real man, and thinking of how he had already accepted the silver from Leng Hong Xiu and didn't wait for her to go back with him, he felt a little reluctant to leave first. But since the other party was the Emperor, even if the Emperor told him to leave, he couldn't not leave, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

"What else is there?" Dugu Qing Kuang cast a glance at him.

The old man immediately shook his head, "No, no, this commoner will leave now!"

The old man didn't dare to look at the snowy mountain again as he helplessly drove away.

As for Leng Hong Xiu, who was unceasingly digging in the snow, she could no longer see anything else. She was completely focused on measuring the thickness of the layer of ice.

The place she was standing now was only two-thirds of the way up the mountain. There was still a long way to go to reach the top, but there was no need to climb any further.

As long as the ice and snow in this place could be cracked, it would be more than enough to make the Bright Moon City suffer.

Leng Hong Xiu knew that this snowy mountain was truly an old snowy mountain. The toughness of the snow was comparable to the ice, and if she were to stand here and shoot at the mountain, she would probably have to think of another way to get it. However, in the Bright Moon City, if the snowy mountain was to collapse, she had to think of another way.

At the foot of the mountain, the distance between the two peaks was already very far. However, when one looked at the mountain from where she was standing, they would see that the distance between the peaks was even further. However, when she looked at the Bright Moon City from where she was standing, she felt that it was only a small square city at the foot of the mountain, as if it could easily be covered and submerged.

This was the situation on this mountain. The thickness of the layers of snow on the other two mountains should not be too far off. After calculating it in his heart, Leng Hong Xiu started moving along the rope, slowly moving downwards.

She spent several hours climbing up the mountain. Although it didn't take her that long to reach the foot of the mountain, the cold feeling continued to invade her bones from all directions, causing her to wish she could leave this damned place right now.

The instant she landed on the ground, she had already turned around. "Who are you people?"

The instant Leng Hong Xiu turned around, Dugu Qing Kuang was completely stunned. He hadn't thought that she would be so beautiful at such a young age. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel displeased with her.

"How dare you!" Now that the Emperor is here, why aren't you kneeling down? " The two eunuchs who had followed Dugu Qing Kuang here had long since been shivering from the cold. They had already waited at the foot of the mountain for nearly four hours before this woman finally came down, not daring to call out to her even after living for thousands of years. Now that she had shouted these words, she no longer had any energy left, only the trembling of her teeth could be heard.

The ancient times were not as progressive as the modern era, but this man had a good set of skin and bones. Originally, he thought that since he usurped the throne and became the emperor, others would refer to him as a 'thief', but what kind of appearance does he have? From the looks of it, he was a handsome man who did not lose to Feng You Ran at all.

It was just that the infernal energy between his eyebrows was extremely thick, destroying the feeling that he gave off. However, compared to him, the infernal energy was inferior, so he didn't have the qualifications to speak with others.

"So you're Dugu Qing Kuang?"

Interesting, this woman not only dared to climb the snow-capped mountain alone, but also had an extraordinary beauty. More importantly, she did not take his identity as the emperor to heart, was she being too arrogant, or did she not think herself worthy to sit in this Jiang Shan of the State of Yue?

"Big, big, bold — —" The eunuch's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. How dare they call out his name when they knew he was here?

"Step down!" The two eunuchs instantly bowed and took a few steps back.

At this point, Dugu Qing Kuang finally spoke up, "I am Dugu Qing Kuang, you're not someone from the State of Yue Yang, right?"

"You're right!" "It really isn't." Although Leng Hong Xiu had told Feng You Ran that she would retain the right to make a deal with Dugu Qing Kuang at any time, in her heart, she did not want to have any conflicts with him. After all, she only wanted to settle the issue quickly and leave.

It was just that she had not expected Dugu Qing Kuang to appear before her at this very moment, and looking at the two eunuchs who were on the verge of freezing to death, it seemed that they had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Madam, you are too straightforward. May I ask what your name is?" What are your plans for coming to the Bright Moon City? " At this moment, Dugu Qing Kuang finally noticed the unapproachable aura on Leng Hong Xiu's body and the cold expression on her face. However, since he had been waiting for her for four hours already, he should at least be able to find something, right?

"Leng Hong Xiu! "Come kill!" Patting the snow on her body, Leng Hong Xiu replied without hesitation.

"Lady Leng sure knows how to joke around!" Dugu Qing Kuang didn't expect her to answer his question in such a manner. He immediately felt that he had been teased, and his expression immediately became unsightly.

"Is that your carriage? It's getting late, and since you've driven away my car, it's your responsibility to drive me back to the city in your car. "

Leng Hong Xiu said as she walked towards the snowmobile belonging to Dugu Qing Kuang that was parked not too far away from them.

"Leng Hong Xiu, are you confident or do you think that I can't do anything to you? That's why you are so daring and do not answer my question?" Dugu Qing Kuang stood there motionlessly, facing Leng Hong Xiu, who had already taken a few steps back, and warned her in a warning tone.

"True emperors will not care about how people treat them on the surface. What they care about is whether they control the hearts of others. This world is a world where the victor is king and the loser is king, no one is as noble and clean as anyone else. But even if you are an emperor, there are still people and things that you cannot control, and sometimes, a person's control is too strong, and sometimes, it is also troublesome. If your goal is only to become an emperor, then what you should be thinking about right now is how to stabilize your position, not how to look at a woman who is not your subject, showing your dignity! "

Leng Hong Xiu didn't look back and continued walking towards the carriage. When Dugu Qing Kuang heard her first sentence, he couldn't help but turn around, and chased after her with large strides, "You seem to know quite a lot about my Yue Guo!"

"Not much. It's just that I know a little about what I should know and what I shouldn't." "Don't put your energy and goals on me, and pay more attention to your own side. That's what's important, I'm just a passerby, here to settle a little personal grudge, and once I'm done with it, I'll be leaving. As for you, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Yue will continue going, right?"

"Leng Hong Xiu, what are you trying to say? Or should we say, is your intention really that simple? "Are you from the Rising Sun Nation?" At this moment, Dugu Qing Kuang had calmed himself down and slowly climbed onto the snowmobile as well. "What is your personal grudge? Something to do with this snow mountain? "

"If I can get back to the city before dinner, I don't mind talking to you. However, if you keep delaying me, that may not be certain." Leng Hong Xiu looked at the direction of the sun, a day's worth of time was almost gone, much more than she had expected. That idiot Sen Luo was the most impatient, so she had to hurry back.

Dugu Qing Kuang looked at the side of her face and then spoke out to the bodyguard, "Return to the palace!"

The snowmobile immediately sped through the snow. The cold wind that blew against their faces felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

"You came alone?"

In the past, if he wanted to know anything, he only needed to give an order. Why would he need to find words to talk to others? This mysterious woman called Leng Hong Xiu really made him feel a bit restrained.

"My man and my child are at the inn in the city. If my guess is correct, someone will attack us tonight. If His Majesty is willing to help, Leng Hong Xiu has a gift for you!" In this short period of time, Leng Hong Xiu already had a new plan in her heart. As she spoke, she coldly laughed at the same time.

"Assault? A gift? " He didn't like it in the past, but now that he was the emperor, he didn't like it anymore. Therefore, he sneered and said, "As the current emperor, what do you want? Need you to send them off? "Will you give yourself to me?"

"Is that so? In that case, does it mean that His Majesty doesn't care about such things? "Fine, I'll give it to Feng You Ran. I think he'll like it a lot." Seeing that the city gates of the Bright Moon City were about to arrive, Leng Hong Xiu calmly threw out this sentence.

"Wait! Say that again! " Dugu Qing Kuang's eyes lit up. He turned around and was about to clasp Leng Hong Xiu's hand, but she dodged him. Instead, she spoke with a more relaxed tone, "Why didn't Your Majesty hear that clearly? "I said that if His Majesty disdains it, I would naturally give it to someone who wants it. It's useless to me anyway, and I want to be a female emperor. What do you say?"

"That thing is actually on you?" Dugu Qing Kuang felt that he had misjudged her, "You, you are the one that caused the rise of the kingdom in the future, the one who caused us to lose a lot of manpower? You, aren't you a man? "

"Then I am sorry to disappoint you, Your Majesty. Leng Hong Xiu is a woman, and the liveliness of the Rising Sun is all thanks to Your Majesty's interference. Otherwise, why would Hong Xiu come here today?" I didn't have to worry about you guys looking for me. I brought something here with me. Whoever really has the ability to sit on this Dragon Throne, that thing must naturally be given to that person, right? "

"Where is it? What are your conditions? "

Dugu Qing Kuang didn't want to circle around her anymore. At this moment, the snowmobile had already entered the city gates while everyone was kneeling down.

However, Leng Hong Xiu only said lightly, "Stop!"

"I am asking you, what are your conditions?" Where is that thing? "

The killing intent in Dugu Qing Kuang's eyes had already started to rise, but Leng Hong Xiu looked at him with a pair of eyes that carried a cold smile, "If I want to get off here, where will I stay? I don't need you to tell me where I live, as for my request, I will have to see your sincerity first, won't I?"

After saying that, the snowmobile came to a stop. Under everyone's gaze, Leng Hong Xiu nimbly got off Dugu Qing Kuang's snowmobile, and walked away without looking back.

At this time, the general who had advised Dugu Qing Kuang not to leave the city came to his side and whispered a few words into his ear. Dugu Qing Kuang's expression became unfathomable, "Really? "I'm sure."

"Absolutely!"

"Very good! to the palace! " A hint of bloodlust flashed across Dugu Qing Kuang's eyes.

"Leng Hong Xiu, why did you come back at such a time? Your body is reeking of blood, did you fight with someone else?" As soon as Sen Luo stepped forward, he smelled the stench of the monster.

Leng Hong Xiu shook her head, "No, it's not mine. I think it's Dugu Qing Kuang's Qi. I was riding in the same carriage as him, and was infected by it and came back. After I left, no one else had come. "

"Why not? There were three batches before and after, but they were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals." Why not, there were three batches after, but they were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals. As Sen Luo said this, he couldn't help but lick his lips, "I heard that the Blood Drink is also an extremely talented Demon Slayer. If I can make him my subordinate today, it would be a good medicine to heal my internal injuries." However, Leng Hong Xiu, where did you go? How did you meet Dugu Qing Kuang? Just the aura that you brought back is already enough for me to know that fellow is definitely a vicious and bloody person. "

"It was an accident. Could it be that you thought I would take the initiative to look for him? If anything happens to the Feng Family tonight, let's not move first. There will be someone to take care of this group of hateful dogs for us. " Leng Hong Xiu took the cloak as she walked towards the table, pouring herself a cup of water and slowly gulping it down.

"Are you talking about Dugu Qing Kuang? What reason does he have to help us? "

"It's not a favor, it's a trade. Have you forgotten? The Imperial Jade Seal is in my hands. Although he used his martial power to take over this world, is his reputation not right? Do you think he doesn't want to sit down and do justice?"
