Silver spears danced in the snow, dancing gracefully. The guards around showed respect on their faces. They admired their marshal from the bottom of their hearts. Shang Qiuyuan was the god in their hearts.

They knew that the marshal and the woman they admired were already in harmony, but he still got up early this morning to practice martial arts. They could not help but feel a sense of admiration. He remembered that even on the night of their wedding, their marshal had never stopped practicing martial arts.

The jolt caused Ji Tian Ning to wake up from her sleep. She opened her eyes hazily. Where was this place? Remember last night, the monk Qiuyuan in a small village room, why so bumpy?

When she opened her eyes, she saw a simple and crude carriage. There was a thick mattress under her body and a quilt covering her body. At this moment, she was in the carriage.

He couldn't help but be shocked. He remembered that when Ling Chen fell asleep, her body was naked. He hurriedly reached out his hand and put on the clothes, as if it was just a dream last night.

"Did I have a dream last night?"

He sat up and opened the curtain to look outside. The simple carriage was swaying but he saw a white figure following closely by the side of the carriage.

Seeing that she had stood up and revealed her head, Shang Qiuyuan gently urged the horse to approach and smile, "Because you were in a hurry to get to the road, I was unable to let you rest properly. When we reach the place, how about you rest properly?"

"Did I have a dream last night?"

Ji Tian Ning asked dumbly, causing Shang Qiuyuan to laugh out loud. He rubbed Ji Tian Ning's head, "Of course not. How about waiting for tonight and I help you recall what happened last night?"

Her dimpled cheeks blushed slightly as she glared coquettishly at Shang Qiuyuan. With a bit of coquettishness, a bit of shyness, and a gaze filled with deep affection, she stared at Shang Qiuyuan. "So bumpy, I want to ride with you."

Shang Qiuyuan stretched out his hand, and Ji Tian Ning came out of the carriage. She stepped on the carriage and leaped towards Shang Qiuyuan. Shang Qiuyuan was shocked, afraid that Ji Tian Ning would fall under the carriage. He extended his hand to Ji Tian Ning but it was just a joke.

He hurriedly stretched out his arms and hugged Ji Tian Ning, "Little girl, you're crazy."

"Mn, I am insane. From last night to the early morning, I have long since been tormented by you. But who do you not know, that if the two of us are even more insane, you will not know how tired we are? "

Shang Qiuyuan brought his mouth close to Ji Tian Ning's ear. "Being together with you, naturally you won't be tired. Tonight, we can verify it."

Ji Tian Ning pouted as she looked around. However, she did not see Le Tian. "Where's Le Tian?"

"He was going to leave last night. I only found out about this this this morning in the early hours of the morning. He was determined to leave, so I didn't force him and let him leave. I think he has quite a bit of affection for you, and it must be because you are so heartless that he is disappointed. "

"Yes, I should be more affectionate with him, don't you think?"

Ji Tian Ning naughtily winked at Shang Qiuyuan to generate electricity. Shang Qiuyuan tightly embraced Ji Tian Ning in his arms, "In a carriage, you can still avoid the cold wind. I've prepared a stove for you in the carriage, why must you run out?"

"The carriage is too bumpy. This carriage is too good, I can't stand it."

"I'll find you a good carriage up ahead, and we'll be there in a couple of days. You better restrain yourself. At most, how about I compensate you tonight? "

"Scoundrel, how come I never noticed that you were so evil before?"

The two of them were flirting and chatting happily. Ji Tian Ning was slightly disappointed. Le Tian's departure made her feel at ease, but at the same time, it also worried her.

"There will be a time when we will have to part. This is also good. The two of us can only be friends, not lovers. I can no longer accept his feelings, and let him go. As time passes, his feelings for me will fade. I hope that he can go and find the sky that belongs to him in peace. "

Silently in the heart for the blessings of the day, looking at the snowy scenery of Fengyuan, the spirit could not help but uplift.

He tightly embraced Shang Qiuyuan. Now that he was in his embrace, what else did he need?

Even though they might not last long, she hoped that one day, she could travel the world with him and become a pair of immortal companions. For that, she was willing to wait and wait for a long time.

"Qiu Yuan, do you think we can really be an immortal couple?"

"It's very difficult. I know what your dream is, but have you ever thought about why your dream has never been achieved?"

Ji Tian Ning was stunned for a moment. "Why?"

She remembered that she had wanted to traverse all the famous mountains and rivers of the five countries. This dream had always been one of life and death, never having been successful for even a moment.

"In troubled times, dukes contend for hegemony, and emperors chase after deer. When you were born in troubled times, there was no place for peace. Your thoughts were too idealistic. If this were a peaceful and prosperous day, your idea could be realized. However, in this chaotic world, if one does not have enough power to protect himself, forget about traveling to other countries, he will not even be able to protect himself. "

Ji Tian Ning stared blankly as she snuggled up to Shang Qiuyuan. For a moment, it was as if she was struck by a heavy blow. When she carefully thought back to Shang Qiuyuan's words, she realized just how accurate his words were. How laughable her previous thoughts were to be born into a chaotic world where every step she took was difficult. How could she travel the world?

From the time they crossed over to this place, they became prisoners and were then kidnapped into the harem. They did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the people and did not know much about the concept of a chaotic world.

After escaping from the imperial palace, he was chased down and captured by the King. All the way until they were out of the control of the Shoulder King, all the way to the land of mourning, the people were displaced.

It was her that wanted to stay out of this matter and travel to other countries, but first it fell into Ling Feng's hands, then it fell into Feng Jingping's hands.

If it were not for the protection provided by Wang Shouchuan and his men, as well as Shang Qiu Yuan's arrangements, who saved her in Ye City, she really did not know how she would have been able to get on the wheels of fate.

Leaving once more, Li Hantian wanted to leave this chaotic world, but in the end, he fell into the hands of the reverse scale of fire.

So that's how it is. In this chaotic world, it's impossible to stay out of this mess even if you want to.

The idea that had always been in her mind was just something that she, who had grown up in the prime of life, could not realize. But this time, if there wasn't Shang Qiuyuan, if Shang Qiuyuan didn't possess power and military might, how would he be able to bring her out of the army camp with him?

"Is my idea just an illusion?"

She had already experienced the cruelty of war and the sadness of the chaotic world.

"Perhaps you can leave the five countries, head to your hometown, and travel overseas. Only then can you truly stay out of this matter."

"And if not?"

"Tian Ning, you should know what my goal is. Even I, who was once the prince consort of Fengyuan and also had a high position as the general and marquis, cannot prevent my entire family from being annihilated. "The one hundred thousand soldiers I brought along to fight at the border between the Southern Champion City and Feng Yuan City were all killed by these sons of mine and his family because of the struggle for power and advantage."

Shang Qiuyuan sighed, "I'm still like this, not to mention ordinary citizens. If I didn't have the troops and power today, how would I avenge my fallen soldiers and family?"

Ji Tian Ning remained silent as countless thoughts surged through his mind.

Scenes of the past flashed through his mind. Even with Shang Qiuyuan's limitless glory and power in Fengyuan, he was unable to protect his family and his subordinates.

The White Horse Emperor, the Zhi Zun of the Southern Champion City, had too many helplessness, wanting to be restricted by the side of the King. So what if he was a King? He had monstrous authority, but he had endless grief in his heart. He didn't even have someone who could speak the truth.

She was just a weak girl who had coincidentally come to this chaotic world by chance.

"So what if it's your majesty and royal father? Tian Ning, if you don't have real power and military power, not only will you be unable to protect your family, you won't even be able to protect yourself. You know, I wanted to wait for this, so I took my men out of the fray and went to live like you said. It's just that in such a chaotic world, where is the paradise? "

"What if we were to leave the five countries and leave this chaotic world?"

"Isn't that what you've been doing? "How about now?"

Upon hearing Shang Qiuyuan's words, Ji Tian Ning choked violently, as a dejected and defeated feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.

Her thoughts were too idealistic. In this chaotic world, even if she possessed power, she could not protect herself just because she had to. He was the emperor's Feng Jingping, and currently, he was only a prisoner under Shang Qiuyuan.

He thought of his first meeting with Shang Qiuyuan, this prince consort of Fengyuan, and the great general. In order to achieve his goal, he had no choice but to kneel before the White Horse Emperor. After that, he once again lowered his head to bow to the king beside him, and only then did he have today's proud appearance.

What did she have?

Her medical skills might not only be useful, but they could also save a person's life. The reason why she said that was because the mother and son she had saved, the Soaring Sky Mother, had finally left this world.

"How can I protect myself and achieve my goals?"

"Just like me, a real man is able to yield and submit. Remember, this is your comment to me. If it weren't for that day's curtsy, I would never have been as happy as I am today. Although I don't covet power, I can only achieve my goals and protect myself. My subordinates are safe, so I can only achieve what I want with power in my hands. So what if it was Father? Do you know why royal father massacred all of his clansmen back then? "

"Why?"

Ji Tian Ning had never been able to understand this point. After coming into contact with the King of Shoulder, she felt that although the Nine Heavens Palace had flaws and was a little bit arrogant, they were not bloodthirsty, crazy, and irrational people.

"Royal father's authority is too heavy, and this already makes the emperor feel threatened. However, if not for royal father, the emperor would not have been the emperor, much less today, when there is no Southern Champion. The emperor could not deal with his father in broad daylight. He had tried many times to take away power, but had failed. Thus, the Emperor can only incite the people of the Palace Clan to secretly harm my father. "

"It's actually like this?"

"That's right, if it wasn't for royal father always supporting his own troops and holding the military power tightly in his hands, how could he have survived until today?"

"Why? Why is it like this? "

"This is the power of an overlord to rule the world. He does not allow a subject as powerful as an overlord to appear among his subjects, even if he is the overlord's father-in-law. The powers under the balanced officials were like harem after harem, not sparing to provoke the officials to fight each other. Many of the battles in the harem have also been deliberately condoned by the emperor, using the harem to control the power of the imperial court. "

"So that's how it is, using a person's life to accumulate power?"

"That's right, who has the power, not built it up with their lives? How did Feng Jingping, that thief, become the emperor of Fengyuan and ascend to the Dragon Throne? Do you know how many lives he has used to pave his way to the Dragon Throne? "

"How much?"

Ji Tian Ning asked in a daze. She had heard about Feng Jing Ping before, but she didn't know much about him.

"He killed his father and his entire family. Even the members of the prince's family who escaped the Imperial City would not be able to escape his evil hands. Before he ascended the throne, in order to get rid of me, he wanted Feng Wuji to send me to send out troops from the Southern Champion City. After that, they exterminated my Shang Clan and hunted down my subordinates' families. "

"A general becomes famous for his ten thousand bones, and a king ascends the throne in exchange for so many lives, even the lives of his father and brothers?"

Shang Qiuyuan lovingly lowered his head and kissed Ji Tian Ning's beautiful hair, "Well said, it is indeed a man who has become famous beyond compare. Since ancient times, dynasties have been replaced by dynasties. The current situation in Fengyuan could no longer be counted by numbers. "Think about it, if it wasn't for Feng Wuji swapping Feng Wuji for the position of crown prince and inheriting the throne, if Feng Jingping hadn't wanted to ascend to the throne, Feng Yuan would have been in chaos today."

Ji Tian Ning was well aware that the people of Fengyuan were the victims of the four kingdoms' war, and many of the warriors of the five kingdoms had died on the battlefield.

He was at a loss. Was he unable to achieve his goal?
