C47

From Murong Xiu's point of view, this woman was indeed the number one person he knew. Just based on her concealed weapon alone, she was exceptionally unique, and this woman was as cold and beautiful as frost. Even he himself had never seen a girl with such temperament before, let alone a beautiful woman.

The more Murong Xiu thought about it, the more he wanted to capture Zi Yuan alive instead of killing her. This was because at this moment, not only did Murong Xiu love her, he also loved her.

When Murong Xiu saw that the sword was about to come, he didn't let his guard down any longer. He waved his broadsword and easily dodged it as he said, "Miss, although I don't know which general you are, I can guarantee that you'll be above everyone else if you stay in the Northern Yue. If you're willing, you'll be able to come to me, Xi Li!"

His sword danced with intelligence, but a sense of exhaustion surged through him. He had been busy since early morning, and even though his internal energy was still abundant, it was much lower compared to the Murong Xiu who was in the midst of dressing up. At this moment, Zi Yuan was starting to feel a little overwhelmed, and after He Lian's bloody path, he called out to Zi Yuan, "Zi Yuan, you can't be a match. This person is a sinister person, don't listen to his nonsense.

"Haha, Helian, you should take care of yourself first. Lady, you are called Zi Yuan. You are indeed like her name." "Haha, haha!" When Murong Xiu saw that Zi Yuan was on the verge of collapsing, he thought that if he continued to tangle with him, he'd be able to capture him alive.

However, Zi Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Murong Xiu, as the Regent of a country, you didn't come to your own home to discuss matters of the country with your wife. Instead, you came here to tease a weak girl like me. How laughable." Zi Yuan mocked her angrily, but Murong Xiu, who was standing opposite her, didn't show the slightest bit of anger.

"Haha, Miss, you are wrong. If I were at home to discuss these things with those ordinary ladies, I'm afraid that I would not be able to witness Miss's skills today. However, Miss, you do not seem to have the same aura as before. Mu Rong Xiu wasn't angered at all. Instead, he started to tease Mu Ru Yue more and more.

The moment he ran out of inner strength, Zi Yuan saw Murong Xiu swinging his broadsword. His eyes didn't show any signs of being afraid of death, but instead, they were filled with an indescribable feeling of emptiness. Murong Xiu was also suddenly shocked by this gaze, and the longblade in his hand unnaturally stopped for a moment as well. At this moment, Helian saw that Zi Yuan was about to fall.

A clear howl! Like a flying dragon, he swung his sword to block his enemies. With a leap, he jumped over and blocked Murong Xiu's attack with his sword.

"Murong Xiu, you despicable scumbag! How dare you be so shameless!"

"Hmph, during a battle between two armies, all means are naturally available. Don't tell me that Helian will still try to reason with me?" Seeing that Helian had actually charged out of the encirclement, Murong Xiu's face suddenly turned cold. He wasn't going to treat Helian like how he treated the Violet Garden.

"Hmph, then die for me." Helian Haoyan waved his sword and conjured a thousand layers of sand waves with his inner energy. Murong Xiu could only retreat, but at this moment, Helian jumped onto the horse with the unconscious Violet Garden and charged towards his own army. Murong Xiu knew that he had been tricked, so he attacked first with his sword, but in reality, he wanted to avoid Helian Yu's attack. At this moment, Helian had already reached the northern army. Sigh, he almost captured that girl.

While feeling regretful, Murong Xiu knew that the battle was already going to end like this, so he shouted, "Assemble the three armies, and follow me back."

"Zi Yuan, how are you?" Ah? "How is it?" Seeing that the Violet Garden was about to faint, Helian Yu also became anxious. Right now, this woman could no longer be lost in his heart. And now, seeing the Violet Garden in such a state, Helian Lie also felt extremely upset.

"Your Majesty, I, I'm fine. How is the situation?" When Zi Yuan saw him lying in Helian Lie's arms, she knew that her life was no longer in danger. However, she was still worried about the war over there.

Helian Lie felt touched when he saw that Zi Yuan was already heavily injured and still thinking about that. "Don't worry. The Western Parry Army has suffered heavy casualties. Although we have casualties on our side, we can't compare to them."

"That's good, hur." Zi Yuan said weakly.

"Zi Yuan, don't say anymore. I must immediately treat your injuries." Seeing how weak the Violet Garden was when she spoke, He Lian knew that he couldn't delay any longer. Otherwise, the Violet Garden would be in danger of losing her life, and the Violet Garden also knew that her injuries were slowly worsening. Helian however, tore off Violet Garden's military uniform.

"Your Majesty, you, what are you doing?" When the Violet Garden saw that Helian Lie had even stripped her clothes off, she panicked and wanted to break free. However, this only worsened her injuries and she vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Ah, Zi Yuan, are you alright? Listen to me. I'm going to use inner force to treat your injuries. You must take off your clothes!" Helian Lie felt his heart ache when he saw how the Violet Garden was acting. However, the Violet Garden was a little shy, so she still stubbornly grabbed onto his clothes. Helian had also gotten angry.

"Hmph, this is a military order. Release it now." Helian Lie said in a forceful manner. He then took off his undergarments with one hand and sat down cross-legged. His hands were placed on Violet Garden's smooth and snow-white back.

At this moment, it did not matter what he looked at. Moreover, at this moment, Helian was helping him heal from the bottom of his heart, so Zi Yuan did not think too much about it.

While Helian Lie was healing the Violet Garden, the Violet Garden recalled Murong Xiu's final stab. Logically speaking, even if Helian Haoyan had rushed over, Murong Xiu should have been prepared to swing his saber over. He wouldn't have been able to dodge at that moment.

But in reality, the Violet Garden didn't know that even though Murong Xiu's words were directed at her, they gave rise to an inexplicable feeling of affection towards her. It seemed that he had the heart of a genius, but it seemed that it was another kind of feeling. However, the Violet Garden naturally didn't know about this, but now that the Western Desert Army had retreated, his side gradually entered a white-hot state.

At that moment, Zi Yuan could also feel that the true energy within her body was slowly recovering, and her injuries were gradually recovering as well. Soon after, after thinking about the scene just now, a scene suddenly appeared in her mind.

If he pretended to be dead, then the other party would definitely not know about it. In fact, through this battle, Zi Yuan was acutely aware that his martial arts skills were lacking. For example, he was lacking in many aspects of the battlefield. However, an open confrontation was not enough. Assassination was still possible.

If he pretended to be dead, it would give the opponent an illusion. But if he sneaked into the enemy's army and assassinated those important people, it would be a huge blow to the enemy. If he could kill Murong Xiu, it would be the best.

However, after the battle with Murong Xiu, the Violet Garden knew that she was no match for him. However, in the Violet Garden's heart, assassins didn't use methods, and if she gave him a chance, assassinating him wasn't impossible.

When she saw that Zi Yuan's injuries were about to recover, and even told her such a thought, Helian Lie thought for a moment before asking, "How confident are you in that?"

"60% chance." Zi Yuan thought for a moment before replying.

"Zi Yuan, I really don't want to see you getting injured again. If you promise me that you can't fight back, then I'll let you leave."

"Alright, I agree." However, something seemed to have suddenly appeared in Leng Bing's heart. Helian was so concerned about her, and the Violet Garden was also able to feel Helian's concern for her. When she thought of this, a sliver of doubt silently appeared in the Violet Garden's heart.

"Un, um, have you recovered from your injuries yet?" Seeing that Zi Yuan had gradually recovered, Helian Lie also put down his hands. However, when he put them down, he saw the naked Zi Yuan and for a moment, his eyes became feverish.

The Violet Garden naturally felt this gaze, but she soon returned to her ice-cold appearance. "Your majesty, do you still want to do anything at this time?"

"Cough cough. About that, you are indeed too bewitching, Zi Yuan." Seeing that his own thoughts had also been seen through by the Violet Garden, Helian couldn't help but blush and speak with an awkward expression.

"Hmph, your majesty, you should pay attention to tomorrow's plan." Zi Yuan said as icily as before, as he put on his clothes.

Seeing Zi Yuan like this, Helian lowered his head in embarrassment. After that, he suddenly hugged and kissed Zi Yuan on the cheek. He whispered into her ears, "This is for you." "Haha." Then he ran out laughing.
