Taiping Lie 360. The Northern Frontier was defeated, and Ren Qining died

Since he had accepted Princess Helan's challenge, He Su stood up without further ado and walked to the open space in the middle. Seeing that he was so straightforward, Princess Helan was also very happy and followed him.

He Su bowed and said, "Princess, that's enough."

Princess Helan responded with a sharp whip, "You people from the Central Plains are so talkative!" The long soft whip mercilessly whipped He Su hard. He Su was born in the secret guards, as the leader of the four secret guards around Ye Li, and was the first batch of people trained by Ye Li personally, and had nearly ten years of military career. With such skills, if Princess Helan picked him, He Su would not have to lead troops to fight and could directly take off his armor and return to the fields.

He Su didn't even move his weapon, and he just turned sideways to avoid the seemingly powerful blow from Princess Helan. Princess Helan was a little surprised. Although she didn't think she could beat Ye Li's capable general, she didn't expect that the other party could avoid her whip without even moving. She snorted and said with a smile, "You are really powerful. Come again. I want to see how you can avoid it!"

Princess Helan did not try again, and the long whip in her hand rolled towards He Su like a venomous snake in the sky. He Su took a step back and dodged Princess Helan's whip with his bare hands. The two of them started to fight back and forth in the open space in the field. In a blink of an eye, fifty or sixty moves had passed, and He Su felt that it was enough to give this princess face. With a light snort, he directly ignored the whip shadow of Princess Helan and firmly grasped one end of the long whip. With a slight shock, Princess Helan's long whip slipped out of her hand and was collected by He Su.

Everyone present cheered. He Su put away his whip and walked up to Princess Helan, saying, "Thank you, Princess, for your whip."

Princess Helan looked him up and down and said, "The generals of the Mohist Army are indeed powerful. Helan is convinced." She took the whip and stopped arguing. She returned to sit next to Ye Li.

The Northern Border generals who were watching the fight could see that He Su was holding back. They admired He Su's skills and were more eager to fight. The young man who had asked Ye Li for help was the first to stand up and challenge He Su. It was difficult to fight a woman, but there was no way to fight a man. He Su accepted his challenge very straightforwardly. The two started fighting in the open space in the field.

Although the people in the northern border generally do not cultivate internal strength, their external strength and physical strength are far beyond the Central Plains people. He Su also became interested, and simply did not use internal strength and only relied on some of the most commonly used martial arts moves in the army to fight him. The intensity of the fight between the two was naturally not comparable to the fight with Princess Helan just now. The punches and kicks made the people around them boil with blood and there was a lot of noise.

He Su fought five or six northern border men in a row and was defeated by the tribe. Later, Qin Feng, Lin Han, Zhuo Jing and others also came out one after another, and their martial arts were not inferior to He Su. Not only the northern border generals admired him. The Central Plains generals who surrendered on their side were also shocked. Even the unknown young generals under Princess Ding were so powerful, and those famous generals who had been famous for a long time were so majestic. They couldn't help but feel lucky that they surrendered to the Ding Palace early. With such strength, how could Ren Qining not be defeated? It must be said that this was actually a beautiful misunderstanding. Among these four people, except for He Su, the ability to lead troops and fight may not be much higher than these generals present. But their martial arts skills are definitely among the top ten in the entire Dingwang Mansion and the Mohist Army.

In the early morning, fifty miles northeast of Changqing City, three hundred thousand soldiers from the Northern Border had already headed northwards under the leadership of the leaders of the various tribes in the Northern Border. They would pass through there and then return to their own familiar land. Since Ren Qining appeared on the land of the Northern Border, the Northern Border has undergone great changes in the past ten years. They were also overwhelmed by desire and ambition, and followed Ren Qining to build a huge empire and build an immortal grand cause, wanting all the rich land in the world to become a hunting ground for the men of the Northern Border. But they also paid a huge price. In just a dozen years, from the previous tribal wars to the subsequent wars to enter the pass and the two confrontations with the Mohist Army, the population of the Northern Border has decreased by 60% compared to a decade ago, and the number of young and strong men has decreased by more than 80%. If they continue to be stubborn, the only thing waiting for them is extinction. So now they are taking their remaining sons back to their familiar place and starting a stable life again. Maybe in another ten years, the North will still be as prosperous as before.

"Princess Ding, we are leaving. Thank you for this time. I will never forget the great kindness of Prince Ding's Mansion in my life in the Northern Territory." Princess Helan stood by the official road, leading a horse, and smiled sincerely.

Ye Liqian smiled and said, "Princess, take care on your journey. There is still war going on in the rear, so I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Princess Helan smiled and said, "No need to send me off. You guys in the Central Plains are fun. I'll come and play with you when the war is over." Ye Li smiled and said, "I'm always at your service."

Princess Helan got on her horse and bowed to Ye Li, saying, "I'm leaving now. By the way, Princess Ding. That Ren Qining is vindictive and ruthless. If I leave, he will definitely vent his anger on you. You'd better be careful."

Ye Li nodded and smiled: "I understand, take care, Princess."

Princess Helan nodded, turned her horse and was about to chase the large group ahead, when she heard a sharp whooshing sound in the distance. When Princess Helan turned around, she saw a feathered arrow shining with cold light shooting straight at her.

"Princess, be careful!" Ye Li shouted. At the same time, her sleeves moved, and a silver light flew out from them, shooting towards the feather arrow. At the same time, Zhuo Jing and Lin Han, who were following Ye Li, jumped up at the same time, and slashed the feather arrow with their long swords in the air. Finally, they shot it down before the arrow hit Princess Helan.

Princess Helan was not injured, but the horse under her was frightened. It neighed and raised its front legs to throw Princess Helan off the horse. On the other side, Qin Feng flew forward, lifted Princess Helan off the horse, and slapped the horse. The majestic horse immediately fell to the ground, but it was not dead. It just lay on the ground, shaking its head anxiously.

Princess Helan was still in shock after being dragged down by Qin Feng. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "What's going on?!"

"You bastard, come and die!"

Before Ye Li could get back to Princess Helan, countless men in black had already surrounded them. Ye Li glanced at them calmly and said, "They are Ren Qining's people!" Princess Helan was immediately furious. Her hatred and anger towards Ren Qining were no less than Ren Qining's towards her. She had originally planned to trick Ren Qining once, since Prince Ding's Mansion would take care of him anyway, so it was no more than doing anything else. She had lost the lives of the soldiers in the northern border in vain. But she had never thought that Ren Qining would dare to send someone to assassinate her.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Without a whip, Princess Helan drew the dagger from her waist and rushed towards the assassin with several guards beside her. Ye Li said to Qin Feng beside her: "Don't let anyone hurt Princess Helan."

Qin Feng nodded and waved his hand, and the guards of Prince Ding's mansion also rushed forward. The fight between the two sides was no less gentle than a small battle.

"Ren Qining, I know you are here. Come out here!" Princess Helan chopped down a black-clad assassin with a knife and shouted loudly around.

A cold voice was heard not far away, "I will grant your wish." Ren Qining jumped down from a small hill by the roadside, and the long sword in his hand shot straight at Princess Helan like a spirit snake.

He Su and Qin Feng flew forward at the same time, and two long swords hit Ren Qining's sword at the same time, blocking Ren Qining. Behind him, Lin Han had already pulled Princess Helan to Ye Li's side. Ren Qining glanced at He Su and Qin Feng in front of him, and then looked at Lin Han and Zhuo Jing who were guarding Ye Li. He knew that if he didn't deal with these people, he would definitely not be able to touch Princess Helan today. Without saying much, he swung his long sword and went straight to Qin Feng.

Even if Ren Qining's martial arts skills are not the best in the world, they are still among the best. In the past, Ling Tiehan and Lei Zhenting personally recognized that Ren Qining must be one of the top ten masters in the world. Although He Su and Qin Feng's martial arts skills are still a little far from Ren Qining, the Dingwang Mansion, especially the Qilin, is best at coordinated combat. Back then, a few newly-arrived Qilins were able to capture Mu Qingcang, one of the four great masters in the world, alive. Now that He Su and Qin Feng have joined forces, Ren Qining cannot escape for a while.

Ren Qining fought with He Su and Qin Feng for more than half an hour. At this time, the assassins he brought with him had already been almost eliminated by the guards of Prince Ding's Mansion. Ye Li looked at Qin Feng and He Su, who were gradually beginning to lose, and admired him in his heart. No matter what kind of person Ren Qining was, at least his martial arts were really good, at least much stronger than Tan Jizhi.

"Mr. Ren, there will be no result if we continue to fight like this. Why don't you all listen to me and stop?" Ye Li raised her voice.

Ren Qining sneered, and his men's attack became even more fierce.

Ye Li narrowed her eyes, "Mr. Ren, I am not a gentleman. I believe in not bullying the minority with the majority." The implication was that if Ren Qining insisted on fighting, she would not care about bullying the minority with the majority. Ren Qining was only slightly superior to He Su and Qin Feng. If Qin Feng and He Su really fought to the death, Ren Qining might not be able to escape unscathed. If Zhuo Jing and Lin Han were to join in, Ren Qining would definitely lose.

After a while, Ren Qining finally snorted and retreated with a sullen face. The remaining assassins finally stopped and stood behind Ren Qining. Looking at the gloomy man opposite, Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Ren, I don't want to see you again so soon after leaving Licheng."

Hearing this, Ren Qining's face became even uglier. He glanced at Ye Li and the others gloomily, pointed his long sword at Princess Helan and said, "Hand over that bastard, and we will decide the outcome of the matter between me and Prince Ding's Mansion on the battlefield."

Ye Li shook her head with some regret and said, "Princess Helan is a friend of Prince Ding's Mansion. At least before she leaves the border, Prince Ding's Mansion cannot let anyone take action against her. If Master Ren is determined to kill him, he can wait until she returns to the North. By then, I won't be able to control her and won't have to worry about it, right?"

Ren Qining sneered and stared at Ye Li, "Does Princess Ding mean to protect this bastard?"

Ye Li sighed helplessly, "I have no choice but to do this. Please forgive me, sir."

"Do you think these are the only people who dare to come?" Ren Qining said gloomily, "I will tear this bitch into pieces!"

"Is that enough, Mr. Ren?" It would be strange if Princess Helan could bear being scolded by such a despicable person like Ren Qining. She stepped forward and stood beside Ye Li, glaring at Ren Qining and said, "Is there anyone worse than you in this world? My cousin saved your life, and my uncle married my cousin to you. But you pretended to be pitiful and deceived them. You even killed my cousin! You used my northern men to fight for you and help you build your country, but now you turn your back on us and even want to destroy our northern tribe with evil intentions. In the words of you Central Plains people, people like you should be called scum! Trash! Despicable! The hundreds of thousands of heroes who died in vain in my northern border will not let you go. I curse you to have no descendants in this life and the next, and to live alone forever. You want to restore your country, you despicable people, just dream on."

Ye Li couldn't help but cover her lips to hold back the smile in her heart. He Lan's Central Plains dialect was ordinary, but when it came to scolding people, three Central Plains people might not be able to match her. Just look at Ren Qining's handsome face, which turned green, blue, and purple, and you will know how wonderful her scolding was.

Ye Li coughed lightly and said to Princess Helan, "Okay, Helan." This is not a place for war, especially since everyone is so close now. If Ren Qining gets really mad, it will be bad if she gets mad and hurts anyone.

Princess Helan still had some regrets, but for the sake of Ye Li, she at least stopped talking in dismay.

Seeing Ren Qining calm down, Ye Li said, "Master Ren, I have no right to interfere in the feud between you and the Northern Territory, nor can I say who is right or wrong. I just want to ask you, will killing Princess Helan have any impact on the situation?"

Ren Qining was stunned. At this point, the Northern Army had already left. Killing Helan or not would have no impact on the situation. At most, it would be a way to vent his anger or give the Ding Palace a slap in the face. But if Ye Li refused to give in, how much would he have to pay to kill Helan? Looking back, he saw that only a few of the hundreds of assassins he brought were left, and Ren Qining's eyes dimmed.

Ye Li continued, "I know that Master Ren has hidden troops. However, Master Ren should know that I can't just come here with a few guards. To be honest, Princess Helan's life or death has no impact on Prince Ding's Mansion, but if Master Ren insists on taking action, I will have no choice but to accompany him. Prince Ding's Mansion promised to send the people of the Northern Territory away safely, and it will never go back on its word."

Ren Qining was silent for a moment, then looked at Ye Li and sneered, "Princess, if you let them go now, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble? Did I really deceive them when I was able to persuade them? If they didn't have their own ambitions, how could they be persuaded by me?"

Ye Li said calmly: "No one can guarantee that there will always be peace and prosperity. At least at this moment, the Northern Territory has no intention of competing for the Central Plains. If it weren't for Master Ren, they would still be fishing and hunting in the White Mountains and Black Waters, and have nothing to do with the Central Plains. I can't destroy the Northern Territory for the so-called future possibilities, right? If the Central Plains is always strong, foreign tribes will naturally not dare to have any disrespect. If they are willing to degenerate, even if the Northern Territory is destroyed today, how can Master Ren guarantee that there will not be a Western Territory and an Eastern Territory tomorrow?"

Ren Qining snorted, knowing that Ye Li would not give in. Women like Ye Li always have their own opinions, and it is indeed difficult to persuade them. Ren Qining shot his eyes at Princess Helan like arrows and said, "You'd better not leave the northern border for the rest of your life, otherwise I will make sure you die without a complete body for the rest of my life."

Princess Helan was not afraid at all. She sneered and said, "I will pray to the gods day and night for you to die soon and be reborn soon."

Seeing Ren Qining compromise, Ye Li said nothing more. She told Qin Feng beside her, "Send someone to escort Princess Helan to catch up with the team ahead. Send the princess out of the customs at the same time." Qin Feng nodded silently, "Princess, please."

Princess Helan knew that Ye Li was worried that Ren Qining was doing something behind her back, so she let her go first. She made a face at Ye Li, waved her hand, got on a horse led by the guards behind her, and rode away with her people.

"Princess Ding! See you later!"

Princess Helan left, and only Ye Li and Ren Qining were left standing against each other on the huge official road. Ren Qining had been very angry these past two days, but after his rage, he managed to calm down when he faced Ye Li again. Looking at Ye Li's beautiful face, he sneered and said, "Princess Ding has good tactics!"

Ye Li raised her hand to brush the hair on her cheeks, and smiled faintly: "Mr. Ren, you are too kind. I just happened to be here at the right time." Ren Qining's forehead was blue with veins, and his eyes flashed with a violent edge. To Ren Qining, Ye Li's words were clearly a sarcasm that he was lying down, which gave her the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to frame him.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the rage in his heart, Ren Qining glanced at the people around Ye Li. He sneered and said, "It is said that Prince Ding and Princess Ding have always been inseparable, but why didn't we see Prince Ding fighting this time? Could it be that he looks down on me and is unwilling to show up?"

"Mr. Ren, why do you ask when you already know the answer? Our prince is currently fighting the Northern Rong, so he is naturally not here." Ye Li said, "Besides, although the prince and I are husband and wife, we are not the same person after all. How could we not be apart from each other?"

Ren Qining stared at Ye Li, his smile was more sinister: "I have heard that the princess is also a master of military tactics. It seems that I will not have the opportunity to experience the methods of the great Chu war god this time. I will come to learn the princess's military tactics, which is not in vain. But...if the princess fails again...I want to see if Prince Ding will have the chance to kill my whole family!" When he said the last sentence, Ren Qining's words also added a bit of blood. In the past two years, the contradictions between the northern tribes and the old ministers of the Central Plains have intensified. It started with Mo Xiuyao sending people to assassinate the Queen of Northern Jin and the princes. It can be said that the root of Ren Qining's defeat today was also planted at that time. It may not be clear when things happen, but looking back afterwards, even a person like Ren Qining who will do anything to achieve his goal cannot help but feel terrified by Mo Xiuyao's scheming and calculations.

Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "How can I let you sacrifice the lives of my entire family again? I will take care of myself, and I hope you will take care of yourself too."

"I hope so." Ren Qining sneered.

"Goodbye." At this point, both sides had revealed their true intentions and there was no need to be polite.

"No need to see you off." Ren Qining said.

Watching Ye Li and his party leave calmly, Ren Qining stood by the ancient road with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing him like this, the assassins standing behind him did not dare to disturb him. After a long while, the generals who were waiting impatiently came and saw Ren Qining standing there in a trance and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Your Majesty, the Northern Army and..."

"Let's go." Ren Qining said coldly.

"Shall I bring them back immediately?"

"No need." Ren Qining shook his head, turned around and walked back, saying in a deep voice: "Go back, we have to prepare for a big battle immediately. In three to five days at most, Leng Huai's troops at Zijing Pass will definitely arrive." The generals following behind him were shocked, "If so, won't we be attacked from all sides by the Mohist army? Your Majesty, should we retreat first?"

Ren Qining looked back, looked at him calmly and asked, "Where are we going to retreat? Behind us is Zijing Pass. Even if we break through Ye Li's blockade to the north, do you think the people in the north will bite back at this time?"

The general behind him couldn't help but change his expression. He broke out in a cold sweat after a moment of contemplation. "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Ren Qining walked in front, his steps were not chaotic. But no one saw the flash of confusion on his face... I also want to know what to do...

The area outside Zijing Pass has always been vast and sparsely populated, with few decent cities. In such a place, it is not very important to pay attention to military tactics and terrain when fighting. The flat terrain means that all soldiers and horses have nowhere to hide in broad daylight.

But even if Ren Qining's army was not very strong, it still had millions of men. As the saying goes, a swarm of ants can kill an elephant. Leng Huai, who came later, led a Mohist army of more than 200,000 men, plus Ye Li's army that surrendered, which only numbered more than 500,000 men. For a while, the two armies confronted each other outside Zijing Pass and were deadlocked.

A few days later, the Mohist army issued a personal edict from Princess Ding, saying that the people were innocent, and that the Mohist army was fighting against the northern barbarians and was unwilling to start a war against its own people. As long as the soldiers under the northern border were willing to surrender, all past crimes would be forgiven. If they were still willing to join the army, they could join the Mohist army. If they were not willing, they could also take off their armor and return to the fields.

On the other hand, news came from nowhere that Ren Qining was not an orphan of the previous dynasty. And several old officials who were originally under Ren Qining personally testified to this. As a result, not only did the ordinary soldiers at the lower levels become disloyal, but even the generals who were originally trusted by Ren Qining began to waver. Soldiers in the northern camp escaped every day. Even worse, they surrendered directly to the enemy on the battlefield. No matter how severely Ren Qining punished them, it was still a pity.

On August 15, the two armies once again faced off ten miles outside Changqing City. Leng Huai, who had originally fought in two separate directions, led his army to join Ye Li and He Su. Ren Qining, who originally had an army of one million, was left with only less than 200,000 troops. Their morale was low and their appearance was in disarray. They were no match for the Mohist army behind Ye Li and the others, who were all dressed in black and had an aggressive aura. Everyone knew that today was the final battle.

Ren Qining was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and riding on a chestnut horse. He looked coldly at Ye Li and the others opposite him, as if he was willing to lose the battle rather than the fight.

After a long silence, Ren Qining drew his sword and pointed at Ye Li and said in a deep voice: "Princess Ding, my defeat today is not due to the war, but the heavens have failed me..." If we only talk about marching and fighting, deploying troops, there is really nothing to say these days. Originally, Ren Qining should not have been defeated so quickly even with a million troops, but unfortunately, Ren Qining did not have any of the advantages of time, place and people. How could he not be defeated? How could he be convinced if he was defeated? Before Ye Li opened her mouth, Leng Haoyu, who was following behind him, sneered: "Heaven helps those who are righteous. If you don't fail the heavens, how can I fail you?"

Ren Qining's face darkened, and he said no more, "In that case, Princess Ding, are you willing to fight?"

Leng Huai rode out from the right side of Ye Li and said coldly, "Why does the defeated general need the princess to take action? I will learn from the King of the Northern Territory's skills."

Ren Qining smiled disdainfully and said, "General Leng, you are old now, why don't you stay at home and take care of yourself? I don't want to bully you because you are old and weak." Leng Huai's face turned blue with anger, and he roared and raised the Qingfeng sword and rushed towards Ren Qining. Seeing him like this, Ren Qining was not polite either, and swung the sword back, with the sword energy sweeping across.

Everyone watched Leng Huai and Ren Qining fighting, but no one came forward to help. Only Leng Haoyu frowned, staring at the two fighting, and the long sword in his hand had already been unsheathed. Ye Li sighed in a low voice: "General Leng is no match for Ren Qining, Leng Er, go and help."

Although Ren Qining's martial arts skills are superb, he can't do anything if Qin Feng and others rush up. Ye Li has always disliked the monotonous one-on-one routine before fighting. But Leng Huai and Ren Qining have a grudge for killing their son. Leng Huai is already quite old. He had been guarding Zijing Pass and Chu Jing for several months, which was a great loss of vitality. He still refused to rest and led the troops to guard Zijing Pass just to avenge his beloved son. Ye Li naturally couldn't let Leng Huai down.

Leng Haoyu had long been worried about Leng Huai's safety, and immediately flew over as soon as Ye Li spoke. His long sword swung and blocked Ren Qining's sword tip that was stabbing at Leng Huai. Ren Qining sneered, "One died, but there is still a good son." Without saying anything, he stabbed Leng Haoyu and Leng Huai three more times in a row. Leng Haoyu's long sword danced out a sword net, blocking Ren Qining's sword tip.

Qin Feng whispered beside Ye Li: "Princess, Leng Er and General Leng are probably not a match for Ren Qining." Ren Qining's martial arts skills are not only among the top ten in the world, but at least among the top five. Compared with Ling Tiehan and Lei Zhenting, what he lacks is only time and experience. As for Mo Xiuyao, who is a natural evildoer, he is naturally incomparable. But Leng Haoyu, whose martial arts skills are only considered good, is much better than Leng Huai.

Ye Li said calmly: "Don't worry about them, just start. We must end this battle today."

Suddenly, the drums on the battlefield shook the sky, and the Mohist army behind Ye Li roared and rushed towards the Northern Army opposite. In the past few days, the Northern Army had fled or surrendered, and only these few people were left, and they were already frightened and their morale was weakened. As soon as they saw the Mohist army rushing over like a black tide, they had already dispersed in less than a moment.

In the chaos, Ren Qining, Leng Huai, and Leng Haoyu gradually moved to a less crowded place. In the end, Ren Qining impatiently swept Leng Huai to the ground with a sword, injuring him badly.

"Dad!" Leng Haoyu's face changed, and he swung his sword at Ren Qining. Ye Li, Qin Feng and others followed him. Qin Feng saw that Leng Huai was seriously injured and Leng Haoyu was also dead, so he drew his sword and rushed forward without saying a word. Zhuo Jing also joined the battle. Ye Li then called someone to send Leng Huai away for treatment.

Ren Qining had been fighting hard for days, and now he was facing Leng Haoyu, Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing at the same time. He gradually began to show a trace of fatigue. Qin Feng saw an opportunity and ruthlessly stabbed his chest with a sword.

Ren Qining's face turned pale, and a trace of scarlet flowed from the corner of his lips. He swung his sword to push away the three people, and leaped forward quickly. Seeing that he was trying to escape, everyone hurriedly followed him.

Outside Changqing City, at a quiet lake, Ren Qining, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat quietly, looking at the small city standing not far away. He had been busy for half his life, using all his means and repaying all his debts, but all he got was that small city and the unfinished half of the palace.

I’m so tired…

Qilin never misses when he strikes. Qin Feng's sword seemed to miss, but it was only better to not die for a while than to die immediately. Ren Qining pressed a few acupuncture points, but the blood still kept flowing out of the wound, so he just ignored it. He casually stuck the sword into the ground beside him, sat alone by the lake and breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Ye Li and others followed. Seeing the figure by the lake, Ye Li raised his hand to stop everyone and walked forward alone. Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing exchanged glances, each occupying a position and staring at the bright yellow figure vigilantly.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Ren Qining turned around and saw Ye Li, smiled faintly and said: "You are here, if you don't come, I might not be able to wait for you."

Ye Li looked down and saw that the ground beneath him was already stained with blood. His face was as pale as paper, and he did not have the spirit of fighting with a sword on the battlefield just now.

"Does the King of the North have anything to say?" Ye Li asked with lowered eyebrows.

Ren Qining waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "You can call me Ren Qining, it's a name that has been with me all my life... I'm too lazy to change it." Before that, he no longer insisted on the title of King of the Northern Territory, nor the identity of Yu Linyuan. In fact, only the name Ren Qining has been with him all his life, and the other two names may just be what he wanted.

Ye Li changed the topic and said, "Master Ren, do you have anything to say?"

Ren Qining said calmly: "I don't have much to say. I'm just dying soon... I don't want to die alone. It's a pity that I couldn't fight with the princess..." Ye Li said: "My little kung fu is not good enough for Master Ren."

Ren Qining looked at her with a half-smile and said, "In fact, I have seriously thought about whether I should risk my life to kill you. Whenever I think of Mo Xiuyao's expression when he hears the news of your death, I feel very happy."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't Master Ren take action before?"

Ren Qining looked away and sighed, "I'm not sure I can kill you, and now it's boring to think about it. Mo Xiuyao's heartbreak won't benefit me... Although many people think that what I've done is ridiculous. But I always feel that... Princess, you won't laugh at me."

"There is nothing ridiculous about people who work hard for their beliefs. Even if their beliefs are wrong in the eyes of other people. Besides... who can understand what is right and wrong in this world?" Ye Li said calmly.

"Well said..." Ren Qining said with a smile: "So... it's wrong?"

Ye Li lowered her eyes and said, "If Master Ren thinks he is right, then it is not wrong."

Ren Qining weakly held the sword and murmured, "Yes, I think it's right, then it's not wrong. If it's wrong, then what is the point of my life?"

The scenes from childhood to adulthood slowly flowed before his eyes. He was entrusted with important tasks since he was young, the only descendant of the Lin family, the only hope of the previous dynasty to restore the country. When other children of the same age were acting cute in their parents' arms, he was studying the classics of governing a country with his teacher in the study room. When others were playing, he was learning the tactics of power and strategy. When others were sleeping soundly in their quilts, he had to get up early to practice martial arts, training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. It was a pity that he was not a genius like Mo Xiuyao after all, and now he has fallen to such a state... It can only be said that it was his fate. But has anyone asked him... What does he want to do in his life? Has he ever done even one thing he wanted to do?

A pair of beautiful and lively eyes flashed across his eyes. He was just an adult at that time, and he happened to meet a naive and intelligent girl. She saved his life, and when he was recovering from his injury, he picked wild flowers and made a wreath for her. Her beautiful face was stained with a light blush, which was more moving than any other beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Then he married her, and she bore him children... If he wasn't Lin Yuan, if he didn't have those responsibilities...

"Suyiel..."

Ye Li watched in silence as the blood-stained sword slashed across his neck. The sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the man in the dragon robe slowly fell down, "Su Yier..."

After living with Princess Helan for a while, Ye Li remembered that Princess Helan had said that the name of her cousin, Princess Ren Qining of the North, was Su Yier, the shining pearl.

"Princess." Leng Haoyu and the others came forward and took a look at the person on the ground. Leng Haoyu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that he would actually..."

Ye Li sighed and said, "Give him a grand funeral. He was a local hero, so posthumously confer the title of King Changqing and bury him with the Queen of the Northern Territory." Zhuo Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Princess, the ashes of the Queen of the Northern Territory and several princesses and princes have been taken back to the Northern Territory by Princess Helan."

Ye Li thought for a moment, "Let's build a tomb for him. Send someone to send his ashes to the northern border. Let Princess Helan deal with them." After saying that, Ye Li, who was somewhat uninterested, stopped looking at the person on the ground and turned back to the camp. August 15th... It's time to go back.

"Leave it to Princess Helan to deal with?" Zhuo Jing smacked his lips. With Queen Helan's hatred for Ren Qining, she would probably scatter his ashes on the road for people to trample on.

After a while, someone came and took away Ren Qining's body. The lakeside returned to peace. After a long time, a man in blue appeared by the lakeside. He stared at the dark red blood on the ground for a long time, then reached out to pick up the sword on the ground, lifted up a piece of clothing and slashed with the sword. The man in blue slowly wiped the dried blood on the sword and sighed softly: "I really didn't expect that you would... I originally thought..." I had always thought that there would be a battle between you and me, but it turns out that we have never even met each other seriously...

The man in blue casually threw away the cloth in his hand and walked away. The bloodstained blue cloth was blown up in the breeze and blew into the lake, which was slightly azure. It was slowly soaked and the blood spread faintly in the lake water...

In the Mohist Army tent, Ye Li raised her head and looked at the man in blue in front of her. Her eyes paused on the sword in his hand for a while before she asked, "What are your plans?"

Tan Jizhi smiled nonchalantly and said, "If the princess intends to keep me locked up, that's fine. If the princess doesn't mean that, then I want to leave."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Where to go? Find a new place to make a comeback?"

Tan Jizhi shook his head and said, "Maybe we can go somewhere, or... go to the Western Regions or go out to sea."

Ye Li looked at him with interest and said, "Where is your grand plan? Don't you want it anymore?"

Tan Jizhi smiled bitterly and said, "With Prince Ding and the Princess here, no one else can interfere with our grand ambitions. I still have some self-knowledge. Seeing his end... I was a little confused at first, but now I feel it's not a big deal." Two people, with the same name, the same mission and responsibility, but different experiences and different solutions. Seeing Ren Qining's end, Tan Jizhi, who always felt that he hated him deeply, felt a little more sad, and his original ambition became a little more boring.

"The ups and downs of the world are created by my generation, and once I enter the world, time will pass by.

"The emperor's ambitions and ambitions are all discussed and laughed, but they are not as good as a drunken party in the world." Ye Li chanted softly. Tan Jizhi was slightly absent-minded, but he smiled with relief and nodded in praise: "Princess, you have such a temperament and such insight... Tan Jizhi is ashamed of himself. From now on, there will only be Tan Jizhi in the world, and no one like Lin Yuan... Princess, I will take my leave."

Ye Li looked at him, "Aren't you going to go back and see Doctor Lin?"

Tan Jizhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it. I'm sure my father doesn't want to see an unfilial son like me. Please take good care of me in the future, Princess." Ye Li nodded and said: "Well, you decide for yourself."

Tan Jizhi stopped talking and bowed, saying, "Goodbye."

"No."

Watching Tan Jizhi leave, Qin Feng whispered behind Ye Li: "Princess, are you really going to let him go? If he has any other ideas, it will be troublesome." Ye Li shook her head and said: "Tan Jizhi is a smart man, he knows that it is not right and he will not insist on it. However... if he has any restless behavior, there is no need to ask any more questions, just kill him directly."

Qin Feng nodded. Tan Jizhi was alone and had offended Mo Jingli, so it would not be easy for him to cause any more trouble.

"Princess, between Tan Jizhi and Ren Qining, who is the orphan of the previous dynasty?" Qin Feng asked curiously. Ye Li shook her head lightly and smiled, "I don't know. Who is and who is not? What's the point?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Princess, that's right." Who is who and who is not, and who really cares? If they have ambitions, even if they kill Tan Jizhi, there will still be a third and fourth Lin Yuan, Wang Yuan, Zhao Yuan...
