"Tonight?" Jiubuzui was stunned. This time he even forgot to drink the wine. "Isn't it a bit hasty?"

"Strike while the iron is hot. We are losing ground and the soldiers are complaining. Moreover, everyone knows about the affair between Emperor Ming and Lan Shuiyao. If we don't act now, when will we act?"

Xiang said anxiously. Now Xiangze was hanging on the city gate, she had to compromise, but once she compromised, all her efforts would be wasted. Now she could only take a risk!

Ji Xiang made up his mind and asked the eight monsters to contact people to rebel, while he went straight out of the imperial city alone.

Outside the city, there is a small mound on top of a white mountain. At first glance, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal, but when you get closer, you will find that it is a tombstone. However, there is something very strange on the tombstone. Not only is there nothing engraved on it, but there is also a corner missing. There is no weeds growing on the grave, and the remaining snow is faint, which looks infinitely desolate.

Ji Xiang sat down in front of the tombstone, looking at the white mountain peak in the distance, and suddenly sneered, "Lingxi, it's been twenty years. I thought I would never come back in this life, but I finally came back!"

She would never forget that night. When she saw the snow lotus on Liu Yirou's body beside the hot spring pool in Huaqing Palace, she felt as if she was struck by lightning and the whole world was spinning.

All those dusty memories seemed to rush out in an instant, the unforgettable lingering and deep hurt, like a thin stream of water, gurgling, the longer it lasts, the more painful it becomes. It is like a thin embroidery needle, carrying a silk thread, slowly shuttling between the two sides of the scroll, one dot, one needle, one touch...

She was almost going crazy. She had already forgotten that man. Why didn't he let her go?

The woman lived with her again, with the same man! She wanted to convince herself to forget it, as if nothing had happened.

But when the Giant Clam Kingdom was destroyed and Liu Yirou used the witchcraft he taught to confuse Mi Zun, she could no longer hold back the surging hatred in her heart. Liu Yirou's death was just the beginning. From then on, she seemed to have returned to the past. The hatred did not disappear with time. On the contrary, after fermenting and storing for twenty years, it became even more intense and unrestrained!

"By the way, Lingxi, I came here today to tell you a good news. After tonight, the Louxi Kingdom that you have fought for all your life will be mine. Your training and expectations of me have not been in vain. I have become the Dark Emperor, and the next step is to be the ruler of Louxi Kingdom. I will make your Louxi Kingdom fall into ruin. Haha, because of this, I feel happy and relieved!"

She smiled coldly and actually hummed a ballad. It was a ballad from her hometown. The tune was ethereal and vague. It was said to be composed by a woman who was waiting for her husband to return. In the cold wind, it seemed even more erratic and had a sense of weirdness.

Shui Yao did not expect the trip to Shi Town to be so smooth. Shi Lei was a trustworthy man. He would rather risk the annihilation of his entire clan than tell Ji Xiang the types and quantities of the raw materials. After getting rid of those people that Ji Xiang had arranged in Shi Town, Shui Yao completely controlled Shi Town. After this experience, she completely believed in Shi Lei.

So he continued to purchase raw materials, but the difference from the past was that the remaining men in the Shi family officially joined Wuxing Palace and became part of it.

This time, Shui Yao personally escorted a piece of raw material and brought Shi Lei with her to let Shi Lei get familiar with Fen Shang.

The process of handover.

There are still twenty miles to reach Yulu City. Although Shui Yao already knows that Yue Nanchen's troops are approaching Xicheng, but because the First Military Factory is close to Yulu City, she still chooses to go back to the military factory first. In three days, Fen Shang and her men should be able to produce a lot of weapons.

Although she trusts Shi Lei, the location of the military factory should be known by as few people as possible. So she lets Shi Lei go to Yulu City first, and Shui Yao takes Lan Yi to the military factory.

The military factory is located in a valley fifty miles away from Yulu City. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The eastern mountain is covered with ice and snow, and the western mountain is tall and straight like a screen. The strong wind roars sharply in the winding canyon.

"Master!" Suddenly, Lan Yi called Shui Yao in a low voice. When Shui Yao spoke, she also noticed the man standing proudly on the top of Xiluan Mountain.

Putting her small hands on her forehead, Shui Yao pulled the reins lazily, stopped riding, and looked at the man indifferently.

This man suddenly appeared outside the valley. Perhaps he had noticed something. She had experienced this man's wisdom and insight before. They were extremely terrifying!

"I have something important to discuss with you. Can we talk about it?" The man's ethereal and indifferent voice sounded faintly. Although it was an inquiring tone, it carried a hint of majesty that brooked no refutation.

Shui Yao smiled lazily and nodded, then she saw the green figure suddenly swooping down from the top of the mountain like a gorgeous meteor.

Shui Yao whistled generously, praising the man's gesture.

Shui Yao turned over and got off the horse. Her charming smile was like a golden lily filled with poison. With the most deadly intention, she stood in front of him.

"I wonder what the Emperor wants to see me about?"

Tian Wen said nothing, just let his clothes flutter, his deep blue eyes were as deep as the sea.

Shui Yao gave a wink, and Lan Yi immediately led the two horses away.

She leaned lazily on a clean big rock, listening to the sound of rushing water in the distance. Shui Yao squinted her eyes lazily, waiting for him to speak.

"I am willing to negotiate with Nanyue!" After a long silence, Tianwen just uttered these words faintly.

Shui Yao was slightly stunned. Although she had thought of such a day, she did not expect it to come so soon. Tian Wen is now teaming up with Ji Xiang, and the signs of defeat are not very obvious. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

"You are right. Louxi Kingdom perished a hundred years ago. How many of its subjects today remember the humiliation they once suffered? They are all subjects living under Nanyue's policies. No one wants to fight. I am just wishful thinking and imposing my historical mission on them.

Now, my selfishness has finally paid off. It has become a tool used by Ling Shuiyan. If it continues to develop, Louxi Country will really disappear from the stage of history! "Tian Wen looked at the clear blue sky and spoke faintly.

"Ling Shuiyan? Is that the one named Ji Xiang?" Shui Yao frowned in surprise. She didn't expect that her skills were so superb that even Tian Wen was willing to be inferior to her!

"Yes, she has the Soul-Chasing Order in her hand. The Soul-Chasing Order has disappeared for nearly a hundred years. With it, she has the right to summon all the people of Louxi Country, especially those sorcerers who live in seclusion, such as the Eight Monsters of Maoshan!"

"What's wrong with that? If I were you, I would be happy to have such a helper. Why?

Are you still so anxious to admit defeat? "Shui Yao was even more surprised. She had entered the Tianmen Formation set up by Ji Xiang and the Eight Monsters of Maoshan before. It was incredibly powerful. Tian Wen should be happy to have such a helper, so why was he still...

“You don’t know that Ling Shuiyan is not the real Saint Mother. My father couldn’t wait for the Saint Mother to reincarnate, so he wanted to go against the will of heaven and pretend to have found the Saint Mother, Ling Shuiyan, so that she could appease the people.

He wanted to restore Louxi Kingdom, but in the end, he failed and the former emperor died of depression. However, Ling Shuiyan was hurt by love and tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, so she pretended to be Xiang and became the emperor of Miluo Kingdom.

She hated my father, and used the Soul Chasing Order in her hand to summon talented people from all over the world, just to seize and destroy Louxi Country, so that my father would not rest in peace even if he died!"

Tian Wen frowned and said coldly. He already knew what Ji Xiang was planning. He could control the situation at the beginning, but when his most loyal secret guards, Zhui Feng and the other four, began to doubt him.

Only then did he realize that Ji Xiang's wisdom and strategy were far superior to his, and that the current situation was simply beyond his control alone, so he had no choice but to choose to reconcile.

"Xiang and Xiangze are really mother and daughter. They are so persistent in love!" Shui Yao sneered and shook her head helplessly.

Tianwen smiled helplessly, "This is the fate of Louxi Kingdom. Since Chonglou and Baiyi, Louxi Kingdom has been a cursed country. The kings of all dynasties could not get the women they loved, and there is no hope for the restoration of the country. It's a pity. I didn't believe it. I thought man could conquer nature, but I didn't expect it to end like this!"
