When a fire broke out in the Taiwei Mansion, Xiao Wenrou was rescued from the dungeon by Gu Mingde and his men and quickly escaped from the fire.

Because the fire was so fierce at the time, General Gu chose to give up even his childhood sweetheart, stepmother, and seriously ill son, and still rescued Xiao Wenrou, who was of greater value.

How could General Gu, who had lost so much, allow Xiao Wenrou not to reveal the origins of those weapons that could help him rise to fame?

In the following even more cruel and bloody punishment, Xiao Wenrou finally couldn't bear it anymore and revealed that she could absorb the luck of others and exchange these weapons with something called the system.

Gu Mingde didn't believe it at first, and ordered Xiao Wenrou to exchange with the system in person.

When imprisoned in the dungeon of the Taiwei Mansion, Xiao Wenrou used her remaining luck to exchange with the spirit of the weapon for a chance to escape.

The escape tools had just been exchanged when the Taiwei Mansion was set on fire by Jiang Xuan in retaliation because An Xin was injured by someone planted in the palace.

Xiao Wenrou did not absorb the luck, so of course she could no longer exchange weapons with the weapon spirit.

The spirit of the weapon ignored Xiao Wenrou's cries for help even though she had no luck. No matter how she called itself, the spirit of the weapon remained indifferent.

When General Gu saw that Xiao Wenrou was unable to produce the weapon she mentioned, he thought she was fooling him and treating him like a fool.

He was about to order someone to use fire to brand Xiao Wenrou's delicate and perfect face.

If the punishment was applied to other parts of her body, Xiao Wenrou could still bear it, but the sinister General Gu had already seen her weakness and wanted to attack her face.

Xiao Wenrou, who cared a lot about her appearance, was now panicked.

He directly begged General Gu to let him capture some people from prosperous and wealthy families. Only by absorbing the luck of these people could he exchange items with his system.

Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, General Gu thought about it and indeed sent people to capture a few sons of wealthy families.

Not long after seeing Xiao Wenrou approaching them.

It seemed that nothing had happened to those people, and they were taken out by Xiao Wenrou as promised. But afterwards, a weapon really appeared in her hand for no apparent reason.

This is why those lucky and wealthy people in Beiming Capital become unlucky.

They had all been secretly knocked unconscious by people sent by General Gu, so that Xiao Wenrou could absorb their luck, and then they were sent back quietly.

Without good luck, those people will of course become unlucky and have bad luck everywhere.

General Gu used Xiao Wenrou to exchange many guns with Qi Ling, which led to his expanded ambition. He took advantage of the absence of Emperor Si Han from the palace to commit treason.

After Xiao Wenrou showed that she had great value, she began to live a life of having everything provided for her, with people serving her everywhere.

In order to keep this woman with a rare treasure by his side forever and use her for his own benefit, General Gu proposed to make Xiao Wenrou his queen after he took over the Beiming Palace.

In this way the interests of both persons are forever combined.

This is better than locking Xiao Wenrou up in jail to let her suffer, and then letting her be kidnapped by others and used by them.

After suffering a lot, Xiao Wenrou longed more than ever to live a life of superiority again.

General Gu, who is just in his forties and not too old, has been in a high position for many years. Neither his appearance nor his temperament are too old to be ugly.

Although Xiao Wenrou prefers young and handsome men, she has long resented Si Han for his unwillingness to make her the queen after he ascended the throne.

Now that Gu Mingde had just moved into the Beiming Palace, he wanted her to be the queen. Xiao Wenrou was flattered and could not be unwilling.

General Gu is not only selfish, but also shrewd.

Of course, he could see that Xiao Wenrou, who was greedy for wealth and pleasure, now favored him more between him and Si Han, a man who was always unwilling to make her the queen.

It's just a title. For General Gu, it's just to trap Xiao Wenrou in the palace and worship her.

"!!!" This is the most cost-effective deal for General Gu.

…

North Ming South City.

The house looks ordinary from the outside, but the interior is luxuriously decorated.

A man who was as handsome as a banished immortal, dressed in snow-white brocade clothes, half-knelt, squatted beside the bed, quietly looking at the person lying on the soft and fragrant bed, with bright features, crystal white skin, and delicate and tempting lips.

The injuries on his body had healed without any scars in just over a month, and his whole body was no longer as gray as it had been when he was poisoned.

At this moment, she looked like a stunning woman, seemingly falling into a peaceful and deep sleep.

But no matter how softly the man called her to wake up, the woman kept her eyes closed.

Jiang Xuan's black hair was half draped down behind him like black brocade, adding a bit of sadness and desolation to him.

The voice was low and hoarse, suppressing the hope in the heart, as well as the sadness and hopelessness that had accumulated over so many days.

"Xin'er, wake up soon," Jiang Xuan held a soft and tender hand, his cold and sad eyes turned fierce, "Wake up, I'll get the throne of Bei Ming for you to play with, okay?"

The man stared at the person on the bed. No matter how he called, there was no sign of waking up, and fear and panic were clearly visible in his eyes.

He stretched out his slender, cold white fingers and wanted to touch An Xin's beautiful face with gentle eyes.

Finally, he adjusted his eyes and took his hand back.

Without the permission of the person he cherished and loved so much, Jiang Xuan restrained himself from desecrating her in the slightest.

"Since you don't want to wake up, just sleep well." The man lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes formed a crescent-shaped shadow under the light, like a demon or a ghost.

“Xuan, who had nothing to do in these years, built a huge business empire.

There are countless shops and intelligence networks in every country, as well as some hidden forces.

I will paralyze the economies of these countries, and then slowly annex them to make them submit. When Xin'er wakes up, I will give these countries to you as gifts and let you be the queen, okay?!"

“…”

An Xin is unconscious.

Kong Xunhe, Li Ziyu and a group of other students.

Because their own headmaster and teacher were injured and Bei Ming had not returned, everyone was worried and unable to sleep or eat.

A group of young people with no conscience and sense of responsibility left the Daqian court, which had been calmed down, to a group of old guys to assist the country, and hurriedly brought their troops to Jibei, which was relatively close to the Beiming.

First, they did receive intelligence that the Fire Gun Battalion established by Si Han was very powerful and ruthless.

He was going to bring some people to help his junior brother Yuchi Yi to resist the bastard Si Han who wanted to attack the city and invade Daqian.

Another thing is that this place is closer to Anxin, and they want to see if there is any way to secretly go to Beiming and bring back their little mountain chief.
