Ji Tian Ning's eyes rolled around as she quickly thought of the idea of plotting the White Horse Emperor. If he could stay with Shang Qiuyuan, his safety would be guaranteed. How can I stay here? The White Horse Emperor would definitely not let her off. That attack just now would probably cause the White Horse Emperor to suffer for a long time.

"It can't be that some of its functions have been weakened or lost, right?"

Just now, Ji Tian Ning had been in the tent of the reverse scale fire. He had suddenly launched an attack, his knee striking the reverse scale fire. At that time, the Fire Ni Lin was caught off guard, but his years of reaction and agility during battles of life and death still didn't cause him much damage.

Inside the tent, the Fiery-Scaled Tiger was sitting behind a table. Its face was gloomy, and its eyebrows were creased. Its foot was ruthlessly stepped on, and its ribs were faintly aching. The most frightening thing was the pain between his legs. It was so sore that it almost drove him crazy.

Normally, he would immediately take Ji Tian Ning's life. No matter who begged for mercy, he would never forgive them. However, today, he did not kill Ji Tianning, who had dared to refuse his favor and hurt the Nine Five Supremes. This strange barbarian woman had undoubtedly aroused his great interest and made him think of her as a toy in his heart.

The most important thing was that he wanted to see to what extent Ji Tian Ning's medical skills had reached. He wanted to know if she was able to cure his illness, which even the imperial doctors and famous doctors of the Southern Champion Kingdom could not cure. If it weren't for the strange illness that would torture him from time to time, how would the reverse fire scale be willing to let Ji Tian Ning off?

Shang Qiuyuan walked into the tent and immediately saw the cold and gloomy expression on Huo Ni Lin's face. He lifted his clothes and kneeled on the ground. "Sinner Shang Qiuyuan greets Your Majesty and thanks Your Majesty for the grace of the heavens."

A sneer hung at the corner of his lips. Up till now, even Huo Ni Lin still hadn't been able to understand why Shang Qiuyuan, the prince consort of the Fengyuan Kingdom and general of the three armies and the general of the country, would surrender to him.

"Shang Qiuyuan, I'm wondering why you're willing to surrender to me."

Shang Qiuyuan raised his head, his warm eyes containing respect and faint sorrow. "For so many years, when sinners and ministers fought with His Majesty, they had offended the heavens in innumerable ways and were long condemned to a thousand deaths. Those pitiful soldiers were innocent. How could they waste their lives on a single criminal? "Sinners don't ask for anything, but to ask for His Majesty's kindness in treating them, sinners will feel it within themselves."

"This is not what I want to hear."

The reverse fire scale's sharp and stern eyes stared at Shang Qiuyuan. The person kneeling in front of him was the Southern Champion Kingdom's greatest enemy in the past few years. Many times he had fought with Qiuyuan, but he had not been able to gain any advantage.

"Since this subject has already pledged his allegiance to His Majesty, I have no other intentions in this life. I hope that Your Majesty will understand."

"Oh, absolutely? "What if I order you to immediately take the vanguard and attack the Fengyuan Kingdom?"

Shang Qiuyuan lowered his eyelids slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face. However, within that smile was an indescribable indifference and melancholy.

"A sovereign's orders cannot be disobeyed. A sinful subject will obey the decree without hesitation. However, this was not the best time to attack Fengyuan Country. "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. There will be chaos within Fengyuan Country."

Huo Ni Lin looked at Shang Qiuyuan with interest. "Tell me about it, I want to hear about it."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the weather has changed in Fengyuan Country!"

"So that's the case. No wonder Shang Qiuyuan requested for a surrender before the battle. Presumably, it was because of this unforeseen event." The Fengyuan Kingdom had changed. In other words, the opportunity for the Southern Champion Kingdom had also arrived. But among them, what sort of role did Shang Qiuyuan play?

Ji Tian Ning looked pitifully at Pei Zicheng under the urging of the enmity with his eyes. However, Pei Zisheng and the rest had no choice but to lower their heads in shame. They were all retainers, how could they dare to go against the reverse scale of fire? One had to know that the lives of all five thousand of their officers were in the hands of the fire reverse scale.

Ji Tian Ning knew that these people could not save her. According to the legends, only a few people who were not afraid of death would dare to provoke the Emperor.

If you dare to pull the emperor off his horse, then you better watch out for me. The Asura Queen isn't called for free. If you dare to violate me again, don't blame me for being rude!

He had hidden a small knife under his shoe and used his socks to hide it, pretending to tie the shoelace. No one had thought that Ji Tian Ning would be so daring as to hide the knife on his body. The knife was too small for anyone to notice.

Like a snail, Ji Tian Ning crawled towards the tent made of fire reverse scales. At this moment, she could only hope that a divine lightning would descend from the sky and strike her back into the modern world.

In the distance, a white silhouette was calmly walking towards her. Under the night sky and under the bright moonlight, Shang Qiuyuan was like a snow lotus flower that had appeared out of thin air, clean and pure like dust.

Her elegant face was always warm and calm, causing people's hearts to sink. Upon seeing Shang Qiuyuan, Ji Tianning's eyes lit up. He had finally found someone to rely on. Since she was treating him, he should at least give her a helping hand.

Ji Tian Ning walked toward Shang Qiuyuan, her eyes blinking pitifully as she desperately charged towards him. She muttered in her heart, "Handsome brother, why don't you sacrifice yourself? No matter what, we still have some friendship. My safety is up to you. You can't abandon me, or I won't even have a place to cry. "

"Thank you for your help. How is the golden armor?"

"Not bad, I just gave him a blood transfusion. He should be able to survive, but he can't leave anyone around day and night, so you have to keep an eye on his changes, because he hasn't passed the dangerous period yet." If something unexpected happened, he probably wouldn't even be able to save her. "Originally, I should have stayed and observed his condition, but …"

"Think of a way to keep me here. For the friendship between us, for your subordinates …"

Ji Tian Ning blinked her large eyes as she looked pitifully at Shang Qiuyuan. She could only hope that her lips, which were pursed into a beautiful curve, would spit out the words that she wanted her to leave behind.

"Sorry, His Majesty is still waiting for the lady's audience."

A low voice swept past Ji Tian Ning's ears. It was like a light night breeze, yet it chilled Ji Tian Ning's heart. She used a strange gaze to look at Shang Qiuyuan. This man who was like a white lotus, he actually refused to save him just like that?

Shang Qiuyuan's gentle eyes, contained a hint of sadness, that deep sadness and helplessness, caused Ji Tian Ning to be extremely moved.

A white figure slowly flew past her. Ji Tian Ning took a deep breath, closed his eyes and fell into Shang Qiuyuan's arms. She was betting that Shang Qiuyuan would not allow her to fall to the ground just like that. If this man that looked like a white lotus was really so heartless, she didn't know what to do.

A pair of slender hands supported Ji Tian Ning. Ji Tian Ning's body fell onto her arms as a helpless smile appeared on her face. This girl was truly bold.

Shang Qiuyuan was well aware that Ji Tian Ning did not wish to see the Fiery Inverted Scale to serve His Majesty. However, he was a subordinate and carried the lives of five thousand soldiers on his back; he could not take the risk for Ji Tian Ning alone. The world must know that the reverse fire is cold and merciless, temperamental and capricious.

"General Shang, His Majesty summoned Miss Ji. Please hand her over to us."

The two people following behind Ji Tian Ning walked over after following the order of the Fire Obliterate. It didn't matter whether Ji Tian Ning was unconscious or dead, their duty was to bring her to His Majesty.

Ji Tian Ning was anxiously awaiting her fate. Feeling the warmth on Shang Qiuyuan's arm, a faint fragrance of lotus flowers was emitted from Shang Qiuyuan's body, drifting by her nose.

"Miss Ji was too tired and fainted. This one will send her to His Majesty."

Although Shang Qiuyuan clearly knew that Ji Tian Ning was doing this on purpose, he secretly lamented that this woman was too bold. In the end, he couldn't just sit by and watch Ji Tian Ning fall into the reverse scale of fire.

He reached out to pick up Ji Tian Ning. His heart ached slightly, but he could not place this girl in the hands of others. In his heart, he felt great pity for this mysterious woman. It was not only because Ji Tian Ning had treated him once, but also because she had saved his beloved general's life. And it was even more because of this woman that he had become her bosom friend.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Shang Qiuyuan has asked to see you. Miss Ji has been overworked and is currently unconscious."

Inside the tent, the fire reverse scale's expression became even colder when it heard this. It looked down at Shang Qiuyuan kneeling on the ground, as well as Ji Tianning who was in Qiu Yuan's arms.

"Put her here. You can leave."

Shang Qiuyuan lowered his head and frowned slightly. If he were to leave Ji Tian Ning here, he might not be able to escape this calamity.

"Your Majesty, Miss Ji passed out due to the exhaustion from treating this humble subject's general. May Your Majesty be merciful and allow this humble subject to send military doctors to take care of Miss Ji."

His cold eyes stared at Shang Qiuyuan and Ji Tianning, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile without the slightest trace of warmth. "If she can walk out by herself, then I'll grant her permission to treat our vanguard. There's no need to stay here and serve me."

Shang Qiuyuan looked at Ji Tian Ning, whose eyelashes were constantly trembling. He wanted to know what this woman would do. The reverse scale of fire had created a problem. If Ji Tian Ning were to recover, she would be guilty of bullying the monarch. If he couldn't get up, he could only stay here.

Ji Tian Ning suddenly opened her eyes. She playfully blinked a few times at Shang Qiuyuan before jumping up and down. She did not feel ashamed nor did she feel uneasy. She did not feel that she had committed the crime of deceiving the monarch.

"You are the emperor. You have golden lips and words. You must keep your word. I will stay by Golden Armor's side and observe his condition at any time." If someone dies, others will say that you, the emperor, are petty, and I am not skilled in medicine. "That's it. If you have any problems, just come find me. If you have nothing else, you don't have to bother me with treating the soldiers."

Ji Tian Ning stood in front of the reverse scale and confidently said those words. He didn't even look at the reverse scale's expression as he quickly carried his backpack and jumped out of the tent without waiting for it to say anything.

A warm smile flashed across Shang Qiuyuan's pitch-black eyes. He turned his head to look at that quick-witted woman, then disappeared from the entrance of the tent like a rabbit. He didn't raise his head. He knew that the expression on the Fire Lin's face was very interesting. However, Shang Qiuyuan was curious as to why the Fire Lin had such tolerance for this woman.
