Chapter 100: Dead White Moonlight
The cavalry of the Gan Kingdom, led by Quan Minghe, raised billowing dust and started the journey of conquest.
Although the fourteen-year-old Quan Minghe has not yet fully grown, he has already shown extraordinary heroism and courage.
He first turned his attention to Canglan Kingdom, which was the closest to Gan Kingdom and had the weakest military force among the several countries.
In just one year, the economy was blocked and the border was attacked. Canglan Kingdom could not bear it and had to surrender.
The following year, at the age of fifteen, his childishness had gradually shed, his eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, and he personally led his troops to the north to attack the powerful Netherworld Kingdom.
The battlefield was filled with smoke and the sound of killing was deafening.
Quan Minghe, wearing armor, charged into the battle and commanded the troops with confidence. After two years of bloody fighting, they finally conquered the city.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the seventeen-year-old Quan Minghe, full of high spirits, led his army back to the capital.
He rode on a tall and strong white warhorse, looking majestic, like the god of war.
On the city wall of Suian capital, fifteen-year-old Chen Yangxi was wearing a brocade pleated moonlit skirt that fluttered in the wind.
I thought it was a fairy who came down to earth, and her smile was brighter than the stars.
She looked into the distance and finally saw the long-lost army.
At first glance, I saw the figure of Kwon Myung-hyuk in the front.
Without thinking too much, she picked up her skirt and hurried down the city wall.
As the heavy city gate opened, Quan Minghe sat high on his warhorse, with a majestic figure and imposing aura.
Behind him were the generals in armor and in high spirits, also sitting high on their war horses. Further behind them were the soldiers marching in unison.
On both sides of the street, people knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The king will unify the world in no time!"
Quan Minghe entered the city gate with a sharp gaze.
At first glance, I saw Chen Yangxi.
After not seeing her for two years, she became even more stunningly beautiful, with black hair like a waterfall and tears glistening in her eyes. Her pitiful appearance made his heart suddenly tighten.
Quan Minghe rode his horse and came to her.
He bent down, put his arms around her waist, and with an effort, placed her directly on the horse in front of him.
Chen Yangxi turned her head and stared at him with tears in her eyes.
"Why did Brother Minghe get me drunk before he went to war?"
"I said I wanted to go with you, and you clearly agreed at that time!"
Quan Minghe looked at her tearful appearance, feeling pity and helplessness: "It's too dangerous. If you go, I will be distracted."
"But I am very obedient. You have taught me military tactics over the years, and I can help you."
Quan Minghe hated the sight of her crying the most. Every time he saw her crying, his heart ached.
Her face seemed to be able to easily grasp his emotions.
"Okay, it's my fault. I will keep Xixi with me from now on."
Quan Minghe held the reins with one hand, holding the person in his arms, and with the other hand he gently wiped away the tears from her face.

After that, after another year of political negotiations and powerful military suppression, Zichuan and Jinlin countries chose to surrender one after another after weighing the pros and cons.
At this point, the general situation in the world was initially settled, and Quan Minghe officially established the Gan Dynasty.
His fame spread throughout the world and he became a heroic leader praised by the people.
He shed the smell of war, put on a majestic dark dragon robe, and came to Lingchuan with the graceful Chen Yangxi.
Just because she once said with a sweet smile that the four seasons here are distinct. In spring, the flowers are in full bloom, like a fairyland on earth; in summer, the woods and springs are quiet and peaceful, like a secret place in the Peach Blossom Land; in autumn, the red maple leaves are as red as fire, like a beautiful painting; in winter, the snow is white, just like a world of glass.
She wants to see the beautiful scenery of all four seasons from where she lives.
Quan Minghe decided to set up the capital in Lingchuan and changed its name to Ganjing just to make her smile.
On the walls of Qianjing City, the breeze blew gently, and the clothes fluttered.
Chen Yangxi was wearing a flowing white dress, like a white lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain, pure and beautiful.
She stood beside Quan Minghe, and the two of them looked like a perfect match, and the scene was like a beautiful painting.
"Xixi, be my empress."
The two stood side by side on the high city wall, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance.
Chen Yangxi did not answer immediately, but suddenly turned around and hugged Quan Minghe tightly.
Quan Minghe frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Minghe, you are the most powerful person I have ever met."
Quan Minghe smiled softly, doting and gentle.
He reached out his hand and stroked her soft black hair.
"But... the hero only needs a career line, not a love line... My mission is completed, and I have to fulfill my own wish..."
Chen Yangxi's voice was very low, as if she was just whispering to herself. Even Quan Minghe, who had sharp ears and eyes due to years of martial arts training, could not hear her words clearly.
Kwon Myung Hyuk was just about to ask her what she was mumbling about.
Suddenly, a sharp "Chi——" sound broke the momentary silence and vibrated in the air.
Quan Minghe's expression froze, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle.
He hugged Chen Yangxi tightly, tapped his feet, and quickly dodged sideways. With his agile and nimble movements, he barely avoided the sudden arrow.
However, before they could recover, dense arrows were shot from all directions.
Quan Minghe is a martial arts expert, and he led Chen Yangxi to dodge left and right in the rain of arrows.
Because he just wanted to be alone with her, he did not carry any weapons, and even sent his guards down from the city wall.
But he was not panicked. After a while, the guards would notice something was wrong and rush over quickly.
"Don't be afraid."
Quan Minghe hugged Shen Yangxi tightly and whispered in her ear.
"Brother Minghe is here, I won't be afraid."
Chen Yangxi raised her head, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
Quan Minghe's attention was on the arrow and he didn't see the determination in Chen Yangxi's eyes.
At the critical moment, an arrow flashed with a cold light, but its trajectory was completely different from the other arrows, and it went straight towards Quan Minghe's vitals.
Chen Yangxi's eyes flashed, and without any hesitation, she turned around and protected Quan Minghe with her body.
The arrow instantly pierced her back and hit her heart directly.
Quan Minghe watched Chen Yangxi slowly fall down, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
His body instantly became stiff and his mind went blank.
He just subconsciously quickly hugged her fallen body.
Quan Minghe knelt on one knee on the ground, holding Shen Yangxi with trembling hands, looking at the arrow that pierced her body, his voice trembling with an uncontrollable tremor.
"Don't be afraid, Xixi. You will be fine. I will definitely save you."
Just then, the guards finally came up.
They quickly formed a tight circle and surrounded His Majesty and Miss Shen.
Shen Yangxi's face had turned as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
She shook her head slightly, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She raised her hand to touch Quan Minghe's face, but she had no strength in her hand.
Quan Minghe put his face close to her hand.
She said gently but reluctantly: "Brother Minghe, don't be sad. Even if I'm not here, you have to be an emperor who goes down in history and forget me."
Chen Yangxi drooped her eyelashes, breathing weakly: "I will forget you too..."
Her breath became weak, and she finally closed her eyes completely, her long eyelashes drooping on her eyelids, and her hands also dropped down.
"No!"
"Xixi, don't scare me..."
