The sound of gunpowder exploding continued to ring out.
Although it wasn't as impactful as the initial burst of fire, it was extremely frequent.
Jiang Qingwan knew.
The gunpowder barrel in the disc seen at Luo Jiu's house played a role.
That force was something ordinary armor simply couldn't withstand.
Qin Minglang also came out of the room.
Hearing the continuous explosions and the flames coming from the direction of the city gate, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
He deliberately spoke loudly, “Your Highness truly deserves to be called the God of War of the Great Zhou. Although you have been whipped thirty times in the palace, you are still able to fight bravely against the enemy. You are a role model for us all. If you die heroically tonight, I will surely sing your praises to the whole world.”
Qinghui was so angry she wanted to kill him.
But Jiang Qingwan stopped him.
"If Mo Yunhan dies, and the rebels storm Qingfeng Village, how confident are you that you will survive?"
Qin Minglang sneered.
"Now you know to beg me? For the sake of our past relationship, I can give you this chance. My wounds need changing, come to my room and change them for me."
He had an air of imperious authority and confidence.
Jiang Qingwan became suspicious.
"Qin Minglang, even now, do you still have something to hold back?"
Qin Minglang raised an eyebrow.
"Trying to trick me into saying something? When Mo Yunhan humiliated me before, why didn't you say a single word in my defense? If you want to know, come in with me. I'm covered in injuries, and I need to take off all my clothes to change my dressings. It's best if the princess's maids and servants don't come in."
Qinghui, unable to bear it any longer, rolled up her sleeves.
Jiang Qingwan remained calm.
“My husband and I are bound together by life and death. If he dies in battle, I will follow him. General Qin need not worry about me.”
Qin Minglang's face turned ashen with anger.
"You're willing to follow him to the death? Jiang Qingwan, how could you be so shameless! Tell me, did you two get together after I left the capital five years ago? You actually betrayed me long ago, didn't you?"
He rushed forward excitedly, wishing he could grab Jiang Qingwan by the collar, but he was also wary of Qinghui's martial arts skills, and his eyes turned red with hatred.
Jiang Qingwan found it all laughable.
"My willingness to follow him through life and death stems from my love and respect for him. How could a heartless wretch like you possibly understand?"
The more she spoke of her deep affection for Mo Yunhan, the angrier Qin Minglang became.
He simply couldn't accept that Jiang Qingwan had abandoned him emotionally before he could.
"Fine, very well. Just wait and see him die here. I'll make you kneel before me and beg me to take you away."
He angrily turned around and went back to his room, slamming the door shut with a deafening bang.
Qing Sui whispered, "Your Highness, this fellow has probably arranged for others to take advantage of the situation. Perhaps I should go in and interrogate him to get the truth out of him."
Jiang Qingwan waved her hand.
"No need. Mo Yunhan will not lose."
In front of the city gate,
Wang Hao's wounds were already bleeding, but he wielded his broadsword without backing down an inch.
The soldier blocking his way had his neck slashed off again by a scimitar, and blood splattered all over his face.
Warm, with a fishy-sweet taste.
His eyes turned bloodshot from the stimulation.
"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!"
Following the disc was a gunpowder-filled iron ball.
It slammed into his chest with a thud.
Many had already been pierced, and Wang Hao struggled to defend himself with his broadsword.
Seeing that it was impossible to stop, a sword light struck and cleaved the gunpowder stone in two.
Sparks flew up and hit the person's cheek, burning several blisters on their skin.
Wang Hao was able to catch his breath.
Looking at Mo Yunhan, he said urgently, "Your Highness, this thing is really powerful. If this continues, our people simply cannot withstand it."
Mo Yunhan didn't care about the blood blisters on his face at all; his dark eyes were unusually sharp.
"Night Seven, Wang Hao..."
He called out several names in succession, all of whom were officials who had come to the event.
"Break the formation with me, the rest of you retreat behind the city wall and await orders."
All the weapons that Luo Jiu had developed to break through mechanisms ended up in the hands of these people.
Mo Yunhan, Ye Qi, and Su Liuer had the best lightness skills. During their leaps, they cooperated to destroy the trap array, giving the others a chance to throw iron chains.
This method is quite effective.
But soon a fireball was thrown from a distance.
It's even bigger than the original one.
The soldiers retreated behind the city gate, and the range of the fireballs completely enveloped Mo Yunhan and his group.
Once it falls, it will be blown to pieces in an instant.
The soldiers behind the city gate were all in a great hurry.
"Your Highness!"
Su Liuer increased her speed to the maximum and rushed over with Ye Qi from the left and right to help Mo Yunhan block the attack.
"Your Highness, let's go quickly!"
The firelight scorched the skin.
Just when everyone thought it was all over, Mo Yunhan suddenly shouted and slashed at the fireball with his long sword.
The sword energy and the fireball collided due to their impact.
In an instant, Mo Yunhan's tiger's mouth was ripped open, and blood was shaken out of his palm.
The blood dripped onto the ground and, in the firelight, congealed into streaks of red silk.
He seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood mist.
Those threads condensed into invisible golden runes, spinning rapidly all around, as Mo Yunhan unleashed his inner strength once more.
The talismans scattered, and the protective golden light became fully formed.
Mo Yunhan felt a powerful force assist him, which actually sent the fireball flying back in the direction it came from.
"boom!"
The flames tore through the darkness, and screams echoed from afar.
Mo Yunhan turned around quickly.
"Work together to break the formation! Quickly!"
In the blink of an eye, all the hidden weapons and mechanisms hovering in mid-air were controlled and slammed to the ground.
