Shui Qingyan wanted to prick up her eyelids, but after trying hard for a bit, her eyes went black and she fell down.

Chu Chen reached out his hands to catch Shui Qingyan and felt the weakness in his arms. Seeing the unusual smile on the corner of Shui Qingyan's mouth, Chu Chen's calm eyes quickly surged with waves.

On the other side, Liuyi who had lost his weapon was being killed consecutively. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Liu Si who was dressed in black wielded his sword with both hands and mercilessly killed black clothed man to the point where he couldn't be spared.

"Come back." When Dongfang Tanyu gave the order, the instantly surviving black clothed man retreated behind Dongfang Tanyu.

He had brought two hundred people with him, and now there were less than fifty standing behind him. Dongfang Tanyu looked at the corpses that littered the ground, and then looked at Shui Qingyan who was in Chu Chen's embrace, the smile on his face no longer there, replaced with caution.

Chu Chen hugged Shui Qingyan, and looked at the Dongfang Tanyu who stood afar without saying a word. Behind Chu Chen, Liu Si stood there with both of his hands holding onto the sword, while Liuyi stood there covered in blood and holding onto the child.

Dongfang Tanyu looked at Chu Chen, and slowly said: "Prince Chu having two birds with one stone, truly a good plan."

He understood Chu Chen very well, just like how Chu Chen understood him very well.

"It was almost destroyed by the Second Prince." Chu Chen said unrestrainedly.

Looking at the pressure around Chu Chen's body that was at least a few degrees, Dongfang Tanyu smirked, "Prince Chu should know that exposing one's weakness in front of an enemy is the most unwise choice."

Chu Chen's expression did not change at all, "If you touch her, do you think you'll be able to return to Dong Li City unharmed?"

Dongfang Tanyu raised his eyebrows: "If I want to leave, even Prince Chu cannot stop me."

"I'm not going to stop you." Chu Chen slowly said.

As Chu Chen finished speaking, a white signal flare flew out from Liu Si's hand, pointing straight to the sky.

"Master, they are the ones who robbed us of our gold!" Someone shouted from behind Dongfang Tanyu.

Dongfang Tanyu's body trembled, his eyes squinted looking at Chu Chen: "It's you!"

Chu Chen slowly opened his mouth, "I will first accept Second Prince's ten years of plans from the Da Yun as compensation for her."

Hearing that, Dongfang Tanyu laughed out loud: "Chu Chen, I wonder what kind of expression Yun Ye would have when he sees you hugging her like this."

"I saved the future consort of Third Prince, he should thank me well." Chu Chen said calmly.

"Heh." Dongfang Tanyu laughed coldly, "The future consort of Third Prince?"

More and more shadows appeared in the distance.

Dongfang Tanyu took a glance at the people who had rushed over, and took one last glance at Chu Chen. "Although she is the life of the Crown Princess, it is not certain whether he is your Third Prince's concubine, or my Dongli Kongdom's Second Princess."

With that, Dongfang Tanyu quickly retreated: "Chu Chen, I, Dongfang Tanyu, have taken a fancy to this woman. Thank you for saving her life."

Seeing Dongfang Tanyu escape with the remaining fifty black clothed man s, Liuyi kneeled down with a thump: "Please Master, punish me."

Chu Chen turned and walked towards the carriage, leaving a message for Liuyi: Go to the dance hall, when will she wake up, and when will you be out?

The corner of Liuyi's mouth twitched. He would rather go to the dark room.

Liu Si instantly laughed. Liuyi is going to dance!

Liu Si took the child in Liuyi's arms and brought him to the horse carriage. Then, he sat on the horse carriage and swung the whip in his hand, rushing towards the direction of the capital.

Liuyi saw that his own position had been occupied by Liu Si, and gritted his teeth. "Bastard Dongfang Tanyu, don't let me see you again!"

When the black clothed man s who had rushed over from behind saw that the one left behind was Liuyi and not Liu Si, they all stepped forward and bowed.

Liuyi walked over and picked up his sword, and instructed: "Protect Master in the dark."

"Yes." After the group received their orders, they immediately flew over.

Liuyi looked at his group of happy subordinates, curled his lips, and followed them. When he thought about how he had to go to the dance floor after he returned, he felt extremely tired.

In the Broken Mountain, Dongfang Tanyu watched as the carriage gradually left, the smile on his face gradually growing wider.

Dongfang Tanyu's attention was entirely focused on the carriage, so he did not notice any shadow that was sneakily approaching at all.

"Mistress, there's an ambush!" A person suddenly spat out blood and died.

Dongfang Tanyu suddenly regained his senses, and whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ The long arrows came from all directions.

"Protect Master!" The black clothed man firmly protected Dongfang Tanyu in the middle.

Seeing that his subordinates were getting fewer and fewer, Dongfang Tanyu's expression became more solemn.

"Mistress, run!"

"Master!"

"Protect Master!"

"Mistress, you, you, hurry, go." When the last black clothed man fell at Dongfang Tanyu's feet, the hidden arrows in the forest also disappeared.

Dongfang Tanyu looked at his surroundings, and slowly took a deep breath. "Who exactly are you people?"

No one replied Dongfang Tanyu, but Dongfang Tanyu knew that everyone was retreating.

He had killed all of Dongfang Tanyu's subordinates, yet he did not make a move against Dongfang Tanyu. In this world, only one person had this kind of style.

"Chu Chen!" Dongfang Tanyu slowly clenched the fist in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually became deeper and deeper, "Five years have passed, yet you're still as conceited as ever."

After taking in a deep breath to calm the rage in his heart, Dongfang Tanyu turned around and left, "Chu Chen, your biggest mistake was to let me go."

At daybreak.

A horse quickly flew through the city gate, and on the horse, it was Manager Huai who had rushed back from the Eighteen Stronghold overnight.

The stallion did not stop and rode straight for the palace.

At this moment, in the throne room.

The current Emperor, Yun Lancang, looked at the spot where they were absent in and frowned. "The people from the capital's Palace have not woken up yet?"

All the ministers were discussing fervently and no one dared to step forward to speak.

Shui Yiyuan frowned.

Sure enough, someone stepped forward and said: "Your majesty, the spring is around the corner. Lord Zhang being ordinary is not suitable for the position of Prefecture Overseer.

"I second that."

This subject also agrees that the Lord Zhang has no morals and talents, and is indeed unsuitable for the position of Prefecture Overseer in the capital. Liu Changqing, the Minister of Rites, and his grandfather also seconded.

Upon seeing this, Shui Yiyuan took a step forward: "Flexing my heart and fists, my heart and soul are both warm and cold, my heart and soul are both close and far apart, I wish to be safe and secure as I enter and exit the door, I cover my heart with my courage and offer it up to my heart, I feel pain and itchy, my blood and effort is exhausted, but I am not done yet. It's always good for the living, it's always good for the heart, it's always good for the parents. "

Yun Lancang nodded his head: "Dating is not good at writing, this article shows the hearts of parents in the world, it is actually a good piece, but the beginning was a bit rushed, so there must be more to it."

Shui Yiyuan continued to speak: "For your parents, it is your duty to attend to your children. We have a long history of filial piety and filial piety in our Yun Chao. We revere the spirit of respecting the elderly. "Without any regrets, do your duty of filial piety; do good at the beginning and end; pass down the virtue at the end."

"Doctor Shui has never been a good writer, today's work is getting more and more interesting." One of the ministers stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Shui Yiyuan continued: "I will not let down my parents' grace of bringing you up, I will not regret my conscience. Everyone knew that immortals were good, but how many filial children and descendants were good? As an outlaw, do not let out hollow moans! Can't you see that this lamb is just in love? Did the king not hear that the raven actually meant it? "Animals still know how to repay their gratitude, not to mention a man who has established himself as a human."

After Shui Yiyuan finished speaking, Liu Changqing couldn't help but take a second look at this unsightly son-in-law of his.

"Could it be that the reason why the Doctor Shui is acting this way is because of the position of the Lord Zhang?" National Duke Ying smiled as he looked at Shui Yiyuan.

Shui Yiyuan nodded immediately: "National Duke Ying is right."

"Heh." "Doctor Shui really likes to joke around. Could it be that the emperor will ignore the fact that Zhang Jing has not done anything in all these years just because of this poem?"

Shui Yiyuan's expression did not change, "Your majesty, this is not something this humble subject wrote."

"Could it be the Lord Zhang's gift?" Yun Lancang could not help but raise his eyebrows.

"Exactly." Shui Yiyuan immediately replied, "Lord Zhang has a very rich personality, the position of governor of the capital is indeed not suitable for Lord Zhang, but Lord Zhang has the talent to compose poems, I hope the emperor can help with this."

Once Shui Yiyuan's words came out, everyone understood that Shui Yiyuan was protecting Zhang Jing and those who were not willing to directly clash with Shui Yiyuan retreated.

However, there were also those who did not buy Shui Yiyuan's money.

The National Duke Ying was filled with disapproval, "You are talented in poetry, but you ignore the Emperor.

"National Duke Ying's words are reasonable." The newly appointed Assistant Minister was surnamed Xie and was called Bin. He was around thirty years old, and similarly stepped forward, "Since Doctor Shui has guaranteed that Lord Zhang would have some talent in poetry, why not give it a try personally, Your Majesty?"

"Thank you, Censor, for your words. I second it." Immediately, some people agreed with the censor's words.

At this time, the city gate order stepped out, "Your majesty, I'm afraid there's a reason why Lord Zhang is stepping out in the open today."

The assistant minister of the Military Department stepped forward: "I heard that yesterday, Lord Zhang went out of the city with Assistant Minister Ma and the others."

The moment the Assistant Minister of War spoke, the Minister of War Xie Yu looked over. The Assistant Minister of War did not dare to meet his gaze and lowered his head.

The city gate order then spoke out, "When Lord Zhang left the city, he took away half of the troops from the Residence of Ye."

With these words, everyone was shocked and began to discuss with one another.

The corner of Shui Yiyuan's mouth twitched, and he silently cursed Zhang Jing for causing him trouble.

"Report!" A eunuch hurriedly walked in and knelt on the ground with a thump. "Your Majesty, Manager Huai, covered in blood, has rushed back from outside the city. Please see your majesty."

The throne room instantly went into an uproar.

"Yes." Yun Lancang frowned.

"Announce to the Manager Huai!" Eunuch Shou who was standing beside Yun Lancang shouted, the penetrating force was extremely strong.

Hearing that, the Manager Huai immediately ran towards the throne room.

Everyone within the throne room returned to their seats, and they tilted their heads to look outside the throne room.

After the Manager Huai entered, he walked to the front of the hall and knelt down, "This humble subject pays his respects to the Emperor.

"No need for formalities." Yun Lancang looked at Manager Huai whose clothes were still tidy but was covered in blood. He frowned, "We were just about to ask for your forgiveness, you came back first."

Manager Huai didn't bother to reprimand him and instead raised his head to look at Yun Lancang. "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang succeeded in taking down eighteen strongholds last night."
