If the other party hadn’t been the Empress, Jiang Hangyang would have definitely taken this sentence as a joke. Otherwise, she would have seen the other as a lunatic and ask, who would dare to jump off such a high city wall into the tens of thousands of enemy troops below! Did they really want to die?
But Jiang Hanyang could not say anything and it was not good for her to comment on this. She could say the words ‘Your Majesty, please prioritize your safety’. But , those words were used to persuade normal people, not something to be said to someone she felt was inconceivable….as such, Jiang Hanyang kept silent.
Anhui could be said to be someone who knew the Empress well, at least he thought so himself, so he knew that the Empress was most definitely not joking. It was truly something the Empress thought of, but because it was such a crazy idea, hearing it, he felt it was too inappropriate. Even if the Empress was not an ordinary person, the more than 100,000 troops underneath the city walls was not a small number. Each person spitting could create a sea to drown people, if the Empress really jumped down from here….
“Why don’t you have any words? Is this suggestion not good?” She looked at Anhui and Jiang Hanyang again. The expressions of the two did not seem very good. Did they disagree with her proposal?
At this moment, a huge boulder suddenly flew towards the city. It was the enemy’s catapult that had been purposely launched here after seeing Jiang Hanyang’s military banner. The soldiers dispersed quickly and the guards responsible to protecting Jiang Hanyang rushed over to protect her, as well as the suicide soldiers responsible for protecting Liyou. Everyone panicked because of the Empress and Jiang Hanyang’s predicament….
“Do not fall into disorder!” Liyou roared out. With a brandish of her left sleeve, black radiant rays sparkled out and that huge boulder unexpectedly was strangely flicked away, tracing its original path, smashing into the catapult where it had come from!
Everyone looked at the Empress in amazement, this situation was truly too strange.
After confirming everyone’s safety, Liyou swept her eyes down the city walls. The catapult that had been smashed by the boulder was no longer usable and the soldiers, in charge, except for those who had been injured by the stone, began to retreat, preparing for the next attack.
A bloodthirsty gleam appeared in Liyou’s eyes and one could only see her floating into the stagnant air, the air having no trace of wind. The beginning ascent had been extremely slow and everyone held their breaths to watch this scene that was even more bizarre compared to the scene from before. But Liyou suddenly flew out, heading towards the middle of the battlefield from the city walls, her speed resembling an arrow and her landing was something that had been yet to seen in this era ——like a bomb!
When Liyou landed, her body was enveloped in magical power and when that power came across any obstructions, it began to detonate. Because of these detonations, several hundred people in the vicinity became corpses.
There was a moment of silence on the battlefield. After all, no one had ever seen such a destructive weapon. Only the people on the city walls knew that the source of the explosion had been their Empress. Except for them, everyone on the battlefield was left stunned. The two sides looked at the source of the explosion in shock. There were only tendrils of smoke and a foggy mist of blood swirling about. For a period of time, they didn’t see the strange scene of Liyou silently standing there. Or maybe she was hovering in that place.
There was a commotion on the battlefield. The troops of the Sang Empire stopped their attack and gathered together cautiously. But, their eyes were not looking at the smoke, but fixated on the city wall. They all felt that this was a new weapon of war researched and made by the Qianhe Dynasty. It would continue to attack them…..
On the Qianhe side, Anhui was the quickest to react. It was not difficult for him to jump down from the city walls with his martial arts, as long as he used some external force…he took out the daggers from his sleeve and before Jiang Hanyang could stop him, he had jumped off the city wall. There were still remnants of the Sang Empire’s soldiers wherever he passed. He took them down easily and he then used his strength to jump down and land safely, but inevitably came face-to-face with the soldiers of the Sang Empire!
The reaction of the troops of the Sang Empire was very interesting. One was so stunned for a moment, as if she couldn’t believe that someone who was not from her side would jump off the city wall. While it was not uncommon for people to fall from the city walls during a siege, this person had jumped down voluntarily….
However, after the initial surprise, as a soldier, her reactive speed was not bad and she immediately brandished her sword and thrust it towards Anhui’s back.
Although Liyou was surrounded by smoke, she could still see Anhu’s every move clearly. When she saw Anhui leaping down from the city wall recklessly, a dazzling golden light flashed in her eyes!
Anhui did not give anyone a chance to hurt him. Despite the flowers of swords that encircled him from all sides, his sword dance took dozens of lives and he rushed to the place where Liyou was.
He had a person close to his heart there.
The curling smoke dissipated and the vigilant soldiers nearby were surprised to see Liyou’s figure. They had not expected that there would be a person here, but Liyou just quietly watched Anhui and waited, ignoring the existence of the surrounding crowd.
At this moment, in her eyes, there was only the shadow of a person. Anhui was fighting through all obstacles on the way and rushing towards her!
The Sang Empire’s soldiers finally reacted.They began to hem in around Anhui and also tried to probe out Liyou. Although the explosion just now had made people feel very frightened, when they found out that two people appeared among their thousands of troops, panic was replaced by contempt. Even if the most powerful people were merely one person, could they really be able to confront tens of thousands of troops?
Liyou never thought about whether she could or could not, Liyou just quietly eliminated the people who attacked her and held onto Anhui’s hand when he arrived, giving Anhui a beautiful smile.
Anhui’s qinggong was extraordinary, he had rushed over without taking any damage, and with his courage, even in the face of thousands of troops, he was not afraid. Every move was extremely calm. When he finally stood in front of Liyou and saw her smile that made even the world lose its color, his calmness disappeared and his cool-headedness was no longer present. He even forgot that he was in the battlefield, surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies. He just looked at Liyou in disbelief and that smile made him forget everything!
The surrounding Sang Empire soldiers attacked again and Liyou waved her sleeves and flew out.
“Fool, what are you stunned for.” Liyou naturally also perceived Anhui’s sluggishness and asked with some doubts.
“Empress, you smiled…” Hearing the Empress’ questioning, Anhui intuitively replied, but after speaking, he also felt that what he had said seemed a bit strange. The Empress had naturally smiled before, but it had always carried traces of evil and wickedness, and was not the same as the smile just now.
“Idiot, have I never smiled before?” Liyou helplessly said this when she heard Anhui’s reply. Regarding her own smile, she did not know much about it. In the past, she used to smile very rarely, but now, she would occasionally smile if she was in a good mood. Was there anything wrong?
“Of course, but it was different.” Anhui sensed danger around the two of them while talking and another soldier from the Sang Empire barreled towards them. Anhui stood in front of Liyou and waved his sword, but he was not as fast as Liyou. With a flick of her sleeves, Liyou once again sent everyone flying. She then took Anhui’s hand in her own and rose out of thin air, flying towards the Sang Empire’s military banner at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
To capture the enemy, first capture the king. Why would she waste time on these soldiers? This is what she had thought from the moment she had flown down.
The Sang Empire’s soldiers shouted to protect the general, but Liyou’s movements were too fast. Just as everyone had shouted out, it had already been too late to act and they found out that the general was gone!
“The General….is gone!” The soldiers of the Sang Empire started to yell in frenetic panic after being stunned. Word spread from hundreds to thousands and the entire army of the Sang Empire knew that their General had disappeared!
They had been crushed in an instant. The capture of a war general was such a big event, especially after their military strategist had also disappeared, and now the General was no longer present either. They had no more desire to fight and all began to retreat in a panic.
“Here, this person is handed over to you, this battle must be won!” Liyou had already returned to the city wall in the blink of an eye and then threw the women who had been frightened unconscious in front of Jiang Hanyang. Who said that the war had to be won using countless human lives? If they continued to provoke her again, she would fly directly to the Sang Empire’s Imperial City, subjugate the Sang Empire’s Empress and see if the Sang Empire wouldn’t admit their defeat at that time!
There was a dark thought in Liyou’s heart. She did not like fighting very much, could she think of a way to make this war end earlier?
Jiang Hanyang felt like she had grown numb. Yesterday, when she thought about the Empress coming, she thought that nothing major would happen, but now one thing was happening one after another. First, it was an order in the middle of the night, saying that the Empress’ people had caught a person and wanted them to interrogate them for a night. She did not dare to send someone to ask about the situation, thinking that it was the Empress’ business and that it was best if she did not intervene. Who knew that the Empress would send the person over the next day and when she asked, it turned out to be the Sang Empire’s military advisor, the person she had always admired. It was just that this person had been tortured miserably and had been sent to her by the Empress, so she did not do anything. But just a day later, the Empress jumped from the wall she was defending against the enemy army and captured the enemy’s general under thousands of eyes. She had to ask, was there anything the Empress could not do?
But this was not the time for her to think wildly!
“Exit the city, chase!” Jiang Hanyang gave an order and the suicide soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately opened the city gates. The Sang Empire’s retreating army was quickly overtaken by the Qianhe army. Thus, ruthless slaughtering began and the Sang Empire’s once victorious mood declined and they embarked towards the road of destruction.
As for the subsequent battle, Liyou did not intervene, but just stood quietly on the city wall, watching the masses fight below.
“Why did you jump down?” Liyou looked at the battlefield in front of her and asked Anhui who was standing at her side.
After hesitating for a while, he was not sure why either, he had just did what he wanted, “”You didn’t say to let your subordinates stay here.” So he hadn’t been disobedient and he did not think he was in the wrong.
“I am not saying you are in the wrong, just wondering why you jumped.”
“….because you were below!” As Anhui thought back, it seems that this was the only answer that could be regarded as the truth. Because, there had been someone he cared about the most below, obviously he will jump down!
Steadfast loyalty, even in experiencing life and death, these eight words suddenly flashed in Liyou’s mind. A warm smile tugged at the corner of her mouth and her eyes still looked at the battlefield, but her hands held onto the hand of the person beside her, both feeling the other’s warmth.
If the other party hadn’t been the Empress, Jiang Hangyang would have definitely taken this sentence as a joke. Otherwise, she would have seen the other as a lunatic and ask, who would dare to jump off such a high city wall into the tens of thousands of enemy troops below! Did they really want to die?
