Boom—
With a loud bang, a section of the city wall collapsed, and countless soldiers were knocked to the ground by the blast. At that moment, Lan Ying and the others entered the main gate of the palace.
"Is this the royal palace of the Weilong Kingdom?" Lan Ying squinted at the ancient-style building, simple and ordinary.
"It's really desolate compared to the Kingdom of Shuyi!"
"I thought these guards were really tough, but they're just a bunch of useless cripples!" Huang Xi said, curling his lip.
No wonder Huang Xi was so arrogant. Although she and Lü Xiu were the weakest among the women, the guards couldn't withstand a single move from him.
Lan Ying coldly glanced at the soldiers lying on the ground, looking at them with fear. "I didn't expect the soldiers of the Mighty Dragon Kingdom to be so weak."
Cheng Xi spoke calmly, "Don't jump to conclusions. There are still many old monsters in Weilong Kingdom. Otherwise, how do you think they could stand firm in the Three Kingdoms?"
Green Embroidery stepped forward and sighed helplessly, "You've all beaten everyone down, I didn't even have a chance to fight back."
"You'd better just watch. If you make a move, the entire city will be filled with poisonous fog!" Huang Xi couldn't help but chuckle.
Green Embroidery sighed, truly frustrated that she couldn't show off her skills. Looking at the defeated army scattered on the ground, the group exchanged smiles and swaggered into the palace—
Qingyang and Yang Wei, along with their soldiers, waited at the next city gate. From afar, Qingyang saw four women, each possessing a unique and captivating beauty, approaching them.
Lan Ying's long hair fluttered in the wind as her red dress billowed, making her look dashing and heroic.
Cheng Xi is as aloof as an ice queen, mature and composed.
Huang Xi has a charming smile, a graceful figure, and a quirky personality.
Green Embroidery's eyebrows curved and her smile was faint, yet she was treacherous and cunning.
The appearance of the four women threw the army into disarray. Everyone felt itchy all over, their mouths were dry, and they stared at the women intently.
Yang Wei was no exception; his gaze was fixed on Cheng Xi, and he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Qingyang frowned slightly as he looked at the four women, because he had not yet sensed any killing intent from them, but he could clearly feel the sense of crisis emanating from Lan Ying.
Just then
"Hey! You in the yellow robe!" Huang Xi shouted, waving at Qingyang.
Qingyang looked completely bewildered, pointing to himself, "Me? You, are you calling me 'King'?"
"Yes! It's you!" Huang Xi shouted at the top of his lungs, "Tell your men to put down their weapons, we're not bad guys!"
Before Qingyang could speak, Yang Wei hurriedly stepped in front of him, saying, "Your Majesty, be careful! Don't fall for their tricks!"
Qingyang frowned, glanced at Yang Wei with a hint of disdain, but said nothing.
Seeing Yang Wei step forward, Huang Xi angrily put her hands on her hips and pointed at Qingyang, saying irritably, "Who do you think you are? He didn't even speak, yet you dare to speak? You're overstepping your bounds, you know that!"
"you--"
Yang Wei's face flushed red, but he dared not refute it, because Huang Xi was right. According to the rules of Weilong Kingdom, it was not allowed to give orders to superiors.
Since Princess Qingge left, Qingyang's discipline has been insufficient, leading him to overstep his bounds more often. For a time, he even forgot that he had overstepped Qingyang's authority.
"Your Majesty, I'm just worried about them..." Yang Wei hurriedly turned to Qingyang to explain.
Qingyang glared at Yang Wei. "I know, but you'd better shut up! Tell all the soldiers to put down their weapons!"
“But…” Yang Wei was still a little worried. After all, Lan Ying made him feel dangerous, and he was afraid that even he could not defeat Lan Ying.
"General Yang, how dare you disobey my orders? Do you intend to rebel?!" Qingyang said coldly.
Yang Wei panicked immediately and respectfully replied, "Your subject dares not."
He then waved to the soldiers behind him, signaling them to put down their weapons.
After everyone laid down their weapons, the four women stepped forward, knelt before Qingyang, and respectfully spoke:
"Your subjects Lan Ying (Cheng Xi), (Huang Xi), and (Lu Xiu) have come to Weilong Kingdom on the orders of Princess Qingge to share the King's burdens!"
Qingyang looked at the four women in surprise, then his face lit up with joy. "Were you four chosen by Princess Qingge?"
"Yes!" the girls replied in unison, their voices clear and melodious.
Qingyang smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. The old figures of Weilong Kingdom would not come to the rescue unless it was a critical moment. Now that there were four powerful "female bodyguards", he was much more at ease.
Seeing that the girls were all exceptionally beautiful and charming, Qingyang was overjoyed.
—In that chaotic dream, the figure of a boy in white flashed by, but the boy's back was filled with a sense of loss. Then, without hesitation, he turned and left, walking further and further away.
Is that you?
Why did you leave me?
Gu Liyan —
"Gu Liyan!" Qingge suddenly sat up, the white-robed boy completely disappearing from her consciousness...
"Your Highness, you're awake," a childish voice said.
Qingge looked up and saw a maidservant who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She must have been sent by someone to take care of her. Looking at the surrounding environment, Qingge immediately realized that she was in her former palace.
"I..." Qingge frowned and didn't continue. Instead, her tone turned icy as she asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Your Highness, it has been a day and a night since General Yang rescued you," Emerald said in a low voice.
"General Yang? Is that Yang Wei, the adopted son of that Eunuch Ruyi?" Qingge had some impression of Yang Wei. In her memory, he was very timid and always had an adoring expression on his face whenever he saw her.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Emerald nodded and said.
