C348

Liangzhou City's floor.

Wearing a golden mask, Yan Jue hugged Feng Yuting in his arms. From the top of the city gate tower, he looked down and saw that the soldier had thrown Hai Shi, who had recovered his consciousness, into the Gu worm.

When the Gu worms saw the blood and living people, they became insane, only hearing a miserable scream, and then, the Gu worms covered Hai Shi's entire body in an instant.

This scene was not only bloody, but also extremely cruel.

However, Feng Yuting's expression did not change. She still cast a sidelong glance at Yan Jue after reading it, and said, "Is this the good place that you said you want to bring me here? What's there to see about a dead man? "

It was easy to hear dissatisfaction and contempt for the dead.

Yan Jue put his arm around her waist, and said with a hoarse voice. "Of course not here. How can you be at ease if you don't see with your own eyes how that useless servant of yours contributed the last bit of his role? Next is our true destination. "

His words had reached the deepest part of Feng Yuting's heart. If she did not personally see him die, she would not let this matter rest.

Yan Jue held her hand and walked down the city gate tower.

Naturally, she would not resist.

She just wanted to see what kind of unexpected surprise Yan Jue could produce in this situation.

Everything was quiet in the military camp of the Yanzhou.

What happened in the Chinese military tent did not affect the outside in the slightest.

After Yuwen He left, Yang Junda went back into the tent. Their family's great general had changed his usual habit of staring into silence whenever the Emperor left, and now he was actually wiping his sword with a dry cloth.

Yang Junda had been by Yuwen Xiao's side for many years, so he was naturally clear about his temperament and character. General Feng Yang never wiped his sword unless the sky changes.

With a bad premonition in his heart, Yang Junda quickly stepped forward, "General, you …"

Just as he said "you", a white light shone in front of his eyes, and Yang Junda subconsciously closed his eyes, as a cold chill went straight to his throat.

"Vice General Yang, you said that one day, if this general wants to use this treasured sword to take your life, will you dodge?"

Yang Junda was frozen in place, the sword blade was just an inch away from his throat. As long as the Great General took action, the sharp white blade would pierce through his blood vessels and place him in a deathly spot.

"General, are you trying to kill me?"

Yuwen Xiao remained silent as a glint of light suddenly flashed across his eyes.

Yang Junda only felt a wave of killing intent rushing towards him. His body swayed, he secretly sighed, and closed his eyes.

People would eventually die.

However, he didn't expect it to be today.

He had no regrets in this life.

A chill ran down his spine, and he heard the faint sound of something tearing through the air. Something landed on his face.

furry.

He was still alive?

Yang Junda was startled at first, but then opened his eyes.

What landed on his face was not the thing beside him, but his own hair.

The crown of hair was lying on the ground. The hairpin had been cut in half.

His heart violently heaved, as if he had just saved his life. It could be said to be a miracle.

He stared at the ground in disbelief for a while, before looking at Yuwen Xiao with the same expression again, "If Great General wants to take my life, then I'll just cut off my throat."

"No, I just want to ask you, what do you feel when your own brother is about to lose his life?"

The perpetrator looked at him innocently.

Yang Junda recovered from the initial shock and stared at his in shock.

The next moment.

With a face filled with hostility, he took a step forward, and with lightning speed, snatched away the Feng Yang treasure sword in Yuwen Xiao's hands, and then pulled his hands behind him.

"So you want to know what it feels like to be faced with a brother's sword and saber?"

"Yes sir!" A general who did not know his place could answer with a loud voice.

Hearing that, Yang Junda's eyes burned with anger, and he increased his strength, "Then this feeling, does the great general understand?"

An indisputable imposing aura was unleashed to the extreme.

Yuwen Xiao paused, "Then can you let go first? This general's shoulders are about to be removed by you."

"…"

Yang Junda was so angry that she almost vomited blood. He angrily flung him off, but Feng Yang's treasure sword was still in his hand, not willing to return it.

Yuwen Xiao rubbed his neck, revealing an expression of lingering fear. "Just now, I thought you wanted to kill me.

If Yang Junda did not have a good temper, he would probably rush forward to slash him to death.

"Does the great general want to know what it felt like to be confronted by a brother's sword and saber?" he repeated through gritted teeth.

The unreliable general seriously nodded, "Well, it doesn't taste good at all."

Yang Junda's expression changed, he held it in until it was at his chest, then threw his clan's great general's, Feng Yang's, treasure sword out with a flick of his sleeve.

General Yuwen Xiao was stunned, "Vice General Yang — —"

He chased her all the way to the door and they completely ignored him.

"Seems like today's matter has really gone too far." Vice General Yang is truly angry! "

Yuwen Xiao muttered to himself as he turned back to the tent, he picked up the treasure sword on the ground and continued with his task of cleaning the sword.

"However, the sky is indeed going to change."

His eyes that were somewhat similar to Yuwen He's were reflected on the blade of the sword, profound and unfathomable.

Inside Xiao Ruyue's tent.

She was playing with the surprisingly calm cold jade box, but she didn't have the intention of opening it to see what was going on.

According to what Big Sister Ya Yin said, this fat bug might have absorbed the Silver Corpse Gu's poison, and now was the critical time for its transformation, how could she go and disturb it?

With that thought, she placed cold jade box in a drawer on the dressing table next to the bed.

Sitting facing the mirror, the girl in the mirror had nine years of blooming, snow-white eyes like autumn water, and a soft and seductive look could be seen within her eyes. She was no longer the Xiao Ruyue of the past.

However, it caused Big Sister Ya Yin, Yuwen He and the others to suffer because of her.

She had asked Sister Ya Yin those questions. She had seen how Ya Yin had lost her composure, the matter of that Gu worm called Tian Xin must be extremely serious. Other than Sister Ya Yin, perhaps Tang Jingzhi was the only one who knew.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue could not help but clench her fist.

At this moment, Yin Lin's voice came from outside the door, "Empress, Qingqing and Thirteen have come to pay their respects to you."

She quickly collected her thoughts and turned around.

He coincidentally saw Qingqing and Thirteen walk in under Yin Lin's lead.

"Greetings, esteemed empress!" Qing Qing and Thirteen saluted at the same time.

Xiao Ruyue waved his hand: "Get up, you don't have to be so formal when you're outside."

"Many thanks, esteemed empress."

Thirteen and Qing Qing both stood up.

"Qingqing, come over here and let me take a good look." Xiao Ruyue waved his hand, beckoning Qing Qing forward.

After all, she had served beside Xiao Ruyue for a period of time. Seeing that Xiao Ruyue was not as serious as her master Thirteen, and instead relaxed quite a bit, she took two light steps forward, "Empress, Qingqing misses you very much."

"Right? I also miss you." Xiao Ruyue smiled as he looked her over from head to toe, "Qing Qing has indeed darkened by quite a bit, but she seems to have matured steadily. I believe that you have made a great deal of progress by staying with your master at the border. "

The meaning of Xiao Ruyue's words was that all of the improvements that Qingqing could make were under Thirteen's leadership, so although her words sounded like she was praising Qingqing, in reality, she was praising Thirteen for her ability.

"The Empress is flattering me. This subordinate does not dare to accept the honor." Thirteen immediately replied with a look of fear and trepidation.

She could hear the hidden meaning in Xiao Ruyue's words.

On the other hand, Qing Qing's usually expressionless face showed a hint of confusion as she looked at her master. The Empress was clearly praising her.

In the end, Qing Qing was just a simple girl, her suspicions were written all over her face, upon seeing this, Xiao Ruyue could not help but burst out laughing.

"Qingqing, you should go outside and talk to Qingyi. You haven't seen her for a while, I presume you also miss the snacks she makes personally."

Upon hearing the word "dim sum", Qingqing's eyes blazed with passion. She didn't say anything further and dragged Qingyi away.

"Aiyo, slow down — —" Lu Yi wailed in anguish. She could not help but bid her farewell to Xiao Ruyue, and was dragged out of the room by Qing Qing.

Only Xiao Ruyue, Yin Lin and Thirteen were left in the tent.

"Thirteen, in these past few days, you have been staying at the borders all this time and have also been to the heart of the Tatar Capital. You should know the things here better than anyone else if you want to know. I have a few things I want to ask you."

Thirteen's solemn expression also slightly changed. He immediately lowered his head and said, "Empress, please ask. Thirteen will definitely speak his mind."

Xiao Ruyue's eyes flashed with a strange light, but she calmly suppressed it and nonchalantly said: "I would like to ask you, what happened in the army after my departure with Your Majesty, and what happened after you entered the Tatar Capital."

Thirteen was stunned. "Esteemed Empress, His Majesty should have told you all these things already!"

"I asked. Just tell me the truth."

Thirteen hurriedly said "yes" and then made a respectful gesture, telling her everything she wanted to say …

After Thirteen left the tent, Xiao Ruyue gazed at her, holding the teacup by his side, she wanted to drink some water, but realised that the water was already cold.

Then, she simply put it down, turned around and looked at the person beside her, "Yin Lin, do you think that Thirteen is hiding something?"

Yin Lin was surprised that she asked this question.

"Empress's words mean …" Thirteen was hiding something, but she wasn't speaking the entire truth?

Xiao Ruyue did not answer directly, but continued to ask, "If you want me to choose a person between Thirteen and me to trust, would you choose her?"

"Of course it's you, Empress."

She was well aware that the Empress in front of her, was not only the princess of East Mausoleum, but also the young miss of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Ruyue.

"What if I am a spy from the East Mausoleum?"

A light flashed through Yin Lin's mind, and she instantly understood the intentions of her own mistress.

Thirteen said, "Everything must be said."

But there was another sentence.
