As the moon rose above the window, the temperature inside the dungeon rose enchantingly.
Yan Beimo ripped open her dress.
Bury it in.
Chu Changning grunted and glared at him with red eyes.
But he ignored everything and his biting and kissing actions were fierce and intense.
He had gotten the chain from somewhere, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became, chafing her wrists until they were red.
Unable to bear the torment, Chu Changning tilted her snow-white neck back to dodge.
Yan Beimo didn't care. He took the handkerchief out of her mouth and bit her lip, kissing her fiercely.
Their bodies were tightly intertwined.
The bed was dirty, the surroundings were dark and damp all year round, and there was a water dungeon next door. You could also hear the squeaking of rats and insects.
He probably thought it was dirty, because he didn't even take off his clothes.
Chu Changning couldn't stand his aloof demeanor and kicked at his robes, struggling.
Yan Beimo saw through her deliberate act, unlocked the clasp, picked her up, and slammed her against the wall behind her.
The wind was cold in the north at night, and with her back pressed against the cold, damp wall, she shivered.
"asshole."
Yan Beimo's mood eased slightly, and his expression softened.
"I'm an asshole, so what are you, the one who's an asshole?"
The dungeon was dimly lit, and the faint candlelight illuminated his face, making the red mole under his eyebrow appear even more alluring.
Chu Changning knew he wasn't a good person at heart, so she turned her gaze away.
Yan Beimo didn't argue with her and lowered his head to kiss her tenderly.
His lips were soft, and he carried a faint scent of ambergris. His kiss made her legs go weak.
She unconsciously made humming and moaning sounds.
In the dark and secluded dungeon, the woman's soft, intermittent moans could be heard.
----
Military camp outside the Great Wall.
Inside the large tent.
Helian Ye kicked the corpse on the ground, his devilish eyes filled with a terrifying ferocity.
He was dressed in a bright red gauze robe, with two gold threads twisted between his fingertips beneath the sleeves. He exuded a gloomy aura that made people feel uneasy.
The soldiers around him bowed their heads respectfully.
“Young Master, we have been tricked by Yan Bei Mo this time, making us deal with Yan Rong for him. Wouldn’t that be tantamount to us sitting on the crime of killing Yan Shi Ke? We absolutely cannot let this fabricated charge go unpunished.”
Helian Ye was still furious, and someone had come at this critical juncture, which was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
He was furious, kicked him, and cursed.
"If you can't even keep an eye on one woman, what use are you to me?"
Everyone inside the tent was startled and immediately knelt down.
Helian Ye held the gold thread in his hand, and blood slid down the thread and onto the ground. Everyone turned ashen-faced as they recalled the scene just now.
The golden thread was as sharp as a knife; with a gentle slit, a head fell to the ground, a horrifying sight.
"What a brilliant move, killing two birds with one stone! He took Dingyuan without lifting a finger. We really underestimated him."
A strategist stepped forward and said, "The first line of defense in Beiyou has been breached. Young Master, should we consider whether we should continue south?"
Helian Ye leaned back in his armchair and said coldly, "Keep fighting."
"Baru".
"I am here."
"Issue a reward of ten thousand taels of gold for finding her." He paused, then continued, "Send someone to Dingyuan City to see if Yan Beimo has taken her back."
Everyone, "---"
The strategist frowned and advised, "Young Master, this trip is not advisable. Jinling is just a princess of a fallen kingdom. She has no use for us at the moment, so it is not wise to take the risk."
Helian Ye's face was sinister. "Do you want to sit in the position of commander-in-chief?"
The strategist was terrified and remained silent.
"Aren't you going to do it yet?"
"promise."
After the fall of Dingyuan City, the Northern You Kingdom was thrown into chaos, and Emperor You fled Youjing in haste with his concubines and officials.
Yan Beimo has been staying in Dingyuan for several days to handle military affairs.
The people of the Western Regions are searching for Chu Changning's whereabouts, and they can't hide it from him at all.
He was furious when he received the secret letter.
Chu Changning was unaware of his anger. After their lovemaking that night, she was released and placed in a remote courtyard.
But Yan Beimo deliberately made her uncomfortable. Not only were there people watching over her, but no one was allowed to speak to her or cook for her. She had to do everything herself.
She was happy to be free, but she was always worried about Taozhi, who was still in Qing County. She wondered if that silly girl had settled down yet.
There is war going on everywhere outside, it's not safe.
Chu Changning muttered to himself, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a man in a gilded black robe walking over.
Having grown accustomed to seeing him in white robes, putting on a gentle and polite demeanor, this sudden appearance in black robes seemed to unleash a ruthless and unruly nature deep within him, sending chills down one's spine.
Chu Changning knew he hadn't gotten tired of her yet and wouldn't kill her. Not wanting to put on an act, she leaned lazily against the red pillar, ignoring him.
Yan Beimo saw the beauty from afar, dressed in a green robe, with a delicate nose and beautiful eyes. Her profile was as enchanting as a night-blooming cereus, and her waist was as supple as a willow, like a bewitching fairy who could suck people's life force.
He entered through the vermilion gate and embraced her waist from behind.
"Has your temper grown?"
Chu Changning twisted her waist and said coyly, "Is this the first time you've found out, Lord?"
Yan Beimo lowered his head and buried it in her neck, sniffing deeply like a greedy wild beast.
His warm breath brushed against her neck, making it both itchy and numb.
Seeing his expression, Chu Changning also wanted to soften the relationship, so she lowered her tone.
If she continues to be so stubborn, she'll always be the one who suffers.
She cleared her throat, about to speak, when she heard...
"What were you doing around Helian Ye?"
Chu Changning frowned, "---"
Did he kiss you too?
The voice behind him was hoarse and low, with a hint of threat.
Chu Changning was suspicious; his tone made it sound like he was jealous.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. He protected her peace, and she played along with him. Who was she trying to impress by pretending to be unfaithful?
"Um?"
Yan Beimo, dissatisfied, tightened his grip around her waist.
The thought of the two of them being alone for so long filled him with murderous intent and a surge of resentment.
Chu Changning felt pain from his grip and punched his hand.
"Be gentle."
He always appears gentle on the surface, but is cruel and ruthless behind the scenes.
Every time he tightened his belt around her waist, it felt like he was going to strangle her.
Yan Beimo loosened his grip slightly, then turned the hand holding her waist, pinning her against the red pillar.
Chu Changning was caught off guard by his manipulation and stared straight at him.
"What have you two been doing all this time together?"
His expression was indifferent, and his voice was even more so.
But Chu Changning could tell that if she dared to say a single word about cheating on him, he would kill her without hesitation.
She explained, “I ran into him by chance on my journey. He recognized me, took me away, and kept me locked in his tent. He was very busy and I didn’t see him many times.”
"oh?"
Yan Beimo's expression softened slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on her, exuding a strong sense of pressure, as if he were assessing whether her words were true or false.
"He's just trying to use me to threaten you; he won't actually do anything to me."
The fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted through the garden, wafting into their nostrils, and the two remained silent for a long time.
His expression softened, breaking the silence.
"Where do you plan to go after leaving Yandu and me?"
"---"
Chu Changning naturally wouldn't tell the truth. "I just want to go back to the capital and see what's wrong with Chang Le."
Yan Beimo suddenly lifted her chin, his voice cold, "Tell the truth."
Even after he exposed her, she remained unfazed.
"We really were going to Kyoto, but there was war everywhere outside, so we went the wrong way."
