Zi Yuan also didn't know whether she would be able to make it back alive, but she did her best to smile for Lan Cang's safety. She lowered her head to look at him and said with a bright smile, "Don't worry. I'll be enough!"

"Empress, you must be careful!" Your majesty and I are waiting here for the news of the Empress's triumphant return! " Now, other than trusting the Violet Garden, there was no other way!

Zi Yuan nodded, remembering Lan Cang's instructions. "I definitely won't let you down!" She was only allowed to win and not lose!

She rode her horse out of the city gates with the rest of the group. As soon as she left, she ordered people to close the city gates!

Violet Garden led her troops and travelled for a distance. The yellow sand filled the sky, the horse hooves trampling on the dust seemed to step on her heart. It told her that she was getting further and further away from the State of Northern Yue!

A scout came to report that not far ahead was the camp of Westfall and Dongping! Zi Yuan was riding on top of a small hill. She looked down at the tents below. There were neat tents at the foot of the hill. From the number of tents, she could guess that there were quite a few enemy troops! Sure enough, that wasn't their true strength on the battlefield. This was the true strength of Xunli and Dongping!

She rode over the hill toward the enemy camp! The soldiers of the West Li Country saw the dust flying in the air. A small group of soldiers and horses were approaching them. He raised his horn and blew on them.

Feng Lingxue, who was resting in the tent, heard the horn sound and knew that there was an army invading. He put on his armor and walked out of the tent with his spear in hand.

Outside the tent, Feng Lingxue saw that Murong Xiu had also walked out from the tent. He smiled as he walked in front of him. "The Northern State of Yue is really reckless. They actually rushed here to die."

Murong Xiu felt that things weren't going to be simple. He saw that there were indeed troops from the Northern Yue State not far from here. However, there weren't many of them, making it seem as if they were being cheated!

"You must never underestimate your enemy. This might be a scheme by even the Profound Wings!" Murong Xiu kindly reminded Feng Lingxue, who couldn't wait to win.

Feng Lingxue naturally knew that such a good thing would not occur in this world, but he was very curious as to who would dare to bring their troops here!

"Xiu, you stay here. I will lead two groups of soldiers to investigate the situation!" Before Murong Xiu could agree, Feng Lingxiu had already mounted his horse and was galloping away with his two squads of soldiers!

The reason why Zi Yuan brought so few people was to lure them into his trap. As long as they were willing to send out troops, she would be able to carry out that plan! She waited for a while on her horse and sure enough, the other party had arrived!

Feng Lingxue pulled the horse, and sat on it to watch the person who came to seek death! He could not believe his eyes. The person in front of him was Zi Yuan!

"Young Marquis of the Dongping Kingdom, we didn't have a good fight on the battlefield last time. I wonder if we'll have a chance to exchange a few blows with you today?" There was an unruly smile on Zi Yuan's beautiful face, which made Feng Lingxue's heart tremble!

Feng Lingxue recovered her wits and looked at Zi Yuan with a smile, "Why is it that the cowardly Xuan Yi always allows a woman like you to fight? Could it be that he died from his injuries that day?"

"Bullshit!" Zi Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent as the sword in his hand pierced towards Feng Lingxue's chest with a murderous intent!

Feng Lingxue had yet to react, who would draw their sword and kill them when they were still speaking? He dodged to the back, dodging the attack of the Violet Garden.

Feng Lingxue jumped down from the horse, and Zi Yuan dismounted as well. Feng Lingxue looked at Zi Yuan with interest. A mere girl wanting to challenge his little Marquis of the Eastpan Kingdom, how laughable! However, he did admire that this woman had the courage to challenge him!

"I only saw you and Murong Xiu fighting on the battlefield last time. I think your skills are pretty good, so I'll play with you today!" Feng Lingxue told the soldiers behind her not to go up on stage. No matter who dies in this battle, they must not go up and help!

Zi Yuan smiled. "Little monkey?" Are you just a little monkey that can call out? "

Feng Lingxue was not annoyed by Zi Yuan's words. On the contrary, she felt that this girl was even more interesting. No woman had ever dared to joke around with him. He also understood why even Xuan Yi and Murong Xiu had fallen for her.

"Although you are a woman, this is a battlefield. Don't expect me to have mercy on you." Feng Lingxue greeted Zi Yuan in advance. Whether she lived or died, it all depended on today!

"Aren't you talking too much nonsense? I know that the young duke of Dongping Kingdom is very popular with women, but don't even think of using some pretty boy trick to lure me in, because I don't want to take advantage of you!" Zi Yuan said smilingly to Feng Lingxue.

Not only did Feng Lingxue admire Zi Yuan's courage, she also admired her eloquence. If she couldn't speak while praising others, then she would also hurt you so much that you couldn't find the right words to say.

"If you are not someone from the Northern State of Yue, I, Little Hou, would really like to marry you home." Feng Lingxue looked at the Violet Garden with a giggle.

Zi Yuan frowned. Feng Lingxue seemed to be a person without a pattern, but she was so deep that one could not see the bottom, making it hard to fathom!

It seemed that Feng Lingxue was trying to guess the reason for her visit, but talking for a long time did not seem to be of any use. This girl was exactly as he had expected. She was the only one who was playing with others, so no one could take even the slightest bit of advantage over her.

"Hey, Zi Yuan, why don't we stop fighting?" If you want to defeat me, we can do it in a different way. Other than fighting, you can choose any other way you want. " Feng Lingxue decided not to follow Zi Yuan's wishes. She wanted him to fight with her, but he just couldn't follow her wishes.

Violet Garden's brows contracted as she looked at Feng Lingxue's harmless and handsome face. The corners of her mouth hooked into a smile, "Could it be that what I've said is true? The young duke of the Eastpan Kingdom is only someone who is afraid of death?"

"Why is Little Marquis someone who's afraid of death?" Feng Lingxue was not angry at all, and was instead full of interest towards what Zi Yuan had said.

Zi Yuan felt that his relationship with him was quite deep, but he had no intention of taking the bait!

"Are you going to fight or not? "If I don't hit you, then I'll just get out of the way. Let me find Murong Xiu to fight me." An impatient expression appeared on Zi Yuan's face.

When Feng Lingxue heard that Zi Yuan was going to find Murong Xiu, it was obvious that he was looking down on her!

"Fight!" As long as you are not afraid of death! " Feng Lingxue accepted Zi Yuan's challenge!

Zi Yuan secretly rejoiced in his heart. As long as he was willing to fight him, it was fine. Otherwise, how could he lure him into the trap step by step!

Feng Lingxue had almost guessed Zi Yuan's motive. She only wanted to fight him because she wanted to wait for him to be captured and be able to enter into the East Ping Kingdom. After finding out about the Violet Garden's motive, he did not intend to expose it. If he exposed it earlier, what would be the point? He wanted to see if the Purple Garden's goal was as he thought.

Grasping Feng Lingxue's long spear in her hand, she steadily stood on the spot, looking at Zi Yuan, waiting for her to make a move. Zi Yuan was thinking, how could he lose so that Feng Lingxue wouldn't be able to see through it? He was so cunning, it would not be easy to fool him!

The Violet Garden could not come up with any solutions in a short period of time, so she decided to fight first before deciding anything. As she fought, she would think of a countermeasure. She held the sword in her hand and leaped into the air with the tip of her feet. When she jumped into the air, she felt that the armor on her was not just any ordinary weight. It was so heavy that she almost couldn't use her Qing Gong.

The sword in her hand stabbed straight towards Feng Lingxue, but she did not intend to hit it. She only used three portions of inner strength, but Feng Lingxue took two steps back, blocking her attack with her long spear.

"Is that all your martial arts can do? If that's really the case, you won't be able to harm me. " Feng Lingxue pushed forcefully, and the Violet Garden flipped over in the air due to his inner force, before stably stopping on the ground.

This Feng Lingxue was truly not easy to deal with. If she had only used simple martial arts, she definitely would not have been able to injure him. On the contrary, it caused people to suspect that she had planned this beforehand!

Zi Yuan channeled his internal energy and once again leaped into the air. Feng Lingxue saw that there was only one person in mid-air, but it had suddenly turned into six! He thought he was seeing things, but it wasn't an illusion. Six of Zi Yuan's figures appeared in an instant!

Which one was the original body? The way to break through the illusions was to find the original body. If the choice was wrong, then he would be seriously injured!

Feng Lingxue also leapt into the air and fought against one of the Violet Garden disciples. Unfortunately, the one he fought was not the real Violet Garden!

The fake Zi Yuan and Feng Lingxue exchanged a few blows before they disappeared. Feng Lingxue's eyes were filled with astonishment. Before he could even react, his back was struck by a person's palm!

Violet Garden did not plan to take Feng Lingxue's life for this one chapter. However, she had to at least make up for the spear that Feng Lingxue had used to stab Blue Azure!

Feng Lingxue fell from the sky to the ground and heavily fell after being hit by Zi Yuan's palm. Zi Yuan stopped in front of Feng Lingxue and smiled at him. "What do you think of my martial arts, Young Marquis?"

Feng Lingxue didn't say anything. He felt that the Violet Garden was a woman who prepared to give way to him when they fought, but he didn't expect that the Violet Garden would actually be so ruthless! Next up, he would no longer show any mercy!

Seeing Feng Lingxue being beaten to the ground by Zi Yuan, the Northern Yue soldiers behind Zi Yuan shouted in unison, "Kill him! Kill him! "

"If you want to kill me, it won't be that easy." Feng Lingxue stood up from the ground and thrusted his spear towards Zi Yuan.

The Violet Garden saw that Feng Lingxue's attack came too quickly. It seemed that she wanted her life. However, she would not let him succeed so quickly. It was too easy to lose like this, and it was too unsightly.

The Violet Garden tilted to the left as the sharp tip of the spear grazed past her shoulder, narrowly missing her! She was only doing this because Feng Lingxue felt that she had won in a perilous situation. This way, she would not lose face and not let Feng Lingxue suspect her.

"The young duke's skill isn't bad, but it's still lacking compared to mine!" The Violet Garden hid to the left and giggled as she looked at Feng Lingxue.

Feng Lingxue was a little angry at his earlier shot for not being able to pierce Zi Yuan. He reckoned that the shot would pierce her, but he did not expect her to dodge it so easily!

Feng Lingxue once again fought with the Violet Garden. This time, he would be extremely careful without taking a single step, and would absolutely not let anything go wrong with him! Zi Yuan had purposely dodged twice. When she saw the trace of anger on Feng Lingxue's handsome face, she laughed even more happily!

"What's wrong with the young duke today?" Is the gun a little soft that's affecting your performance? " The tip of Violet Garden's foot lightly tapped Feng Lingxue's spear tip. She flipped backwards and stopped her footsteps.

Feng Lingxue stopped moving, and the archer walked to his side, whispering in his ear, "Master Hou, do you want us to secretly help Master Hou kill this woman in order to demoralize the country?"

"Scram!" Wasn't it just a woman? Young Marquis has a way to kill her! " Feng Lingxue purposely pretended to be angry, causing Zi Yuan to think that she had angered him!

Zi Yuan did not understand Feng Lingxue's motive. She smiled as she looked at the anger on Feng Lingxue's face. The angrier he got, the happier she would be! As long as he put his heart into it, it meant that he had already begun to fall into his trap!

"Young duke, do you want to fight again?" Zi Yuan stood by the side with his arms crossed, looking at Feng Lingxue.

Feng Lingxue pushed away the soldier that had stopped her and took out a spear as he walked in front of Zi Yuan. "Zi Yuan, do you want to make a bet with me, Little Marquis?"

Zi Yuan frowned and asked, "You can't beat me, so you're thinking of using another method?"
