"In other words, it was Lingran Palace that moved my people."
Ji Xiaoxiao unleashed her power and slammed her hand fiercely on the bed beneath her.
"Lingran Palace is openly hostile to me. It seems they are too lazy to live."
Hu Shao was shocked by Ji Xiaoxiao's imposing presence and stared at her intently.
Ji Xiaoxiao was so enraged that she couldn't spare any attention to Hu Shao.
“Go on.”
"Yes, Master." The guard pondered for a moment, considering his wording, "Previously, the leader of the Dark Guard was awakened by an elder using a secret technique and learned the details of the trip to the Northwest..."
It turned out that An Yi and An Ran Shi Ba were ordered to chase and kill Luo Qing. They rode at full speed, day and night, and the two sides happened to meet unexpectedly at the entrance of Tongluo Town.
Enemies meeting again, their eyes bloodshot, they fought a fierce and chaotic battle, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Just as An Yi was about to capture Luo Qing, the people of Lingran Palace intervened in the battle, giving Luo Qing wings and instantly turning the tide of the fight.
Two fists are no match for two hands, and four hands are no match for two fists. An Yi and An Ran Shi Ba were outmatched and prepared to retreat. However, the Palace Master of Lingran Palace and the Seven-Colored Guards arrived silently and, taking them by surprise, killed An Ran Shi Ba. An Yi's "Mist Concealment Killing Technique" was a peerless skill, capable of killing without form and being unstoppable in retreat. Despite suffering numerous injuries, An Yi managed to escape successfully.
Severely wounded and with all communication methods lost in the battle, An Yi was unable to contact Ji Xiaoxiao in time. However, the situation was critical. Luo Qing and Lingran Palace had joined forces. If Luo Qing arrived at the Northwest White Tiger Army first and gained the support of the White Tiger Army soldiers, with the combined strength of a top martial arts force and a powerful army of 100,000, they were determined to change the world and establish themselves as kings. Ji Xiaoxiao's rule was in grave danger.
For his master's sake, An Yi risked his life alone, unaware that Luo Qing and Lingran Palace were already waiting for him in Kan Gang, ready to trap him. Although An Yi escaped again, the White Tiger Token was seized by the Palace Master of Lingran Palace. This trip did not help his master; instead, it caused him a lot of trouble. If it weren't for needing to deliver a message, An Yi would probably have resigned.
Ji Xiaoxiao is currently pregnant and should not be overworked. However, at this critical juncture for the nation, if Ji Xiaoxiao, as the Empress of the Divine Dynasty, does not devote herself wholeheartedly but instead retreats to the background, it may cause the people's morale to collapse. At that time, the country will cease to be a country, and the family will cease to be a family!
Hu Shao opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to tell Ji Xiaoxiao to rest.
She was his daughter, Hu Shao's daughter, and the empress of the Divine Dynasty, which encompassed millions of its citizens. He couldn't advise her; Ji Xiaoxiao could decide and do as she pleased, and he would let her do as she pleased.
Ji Xiaoxiao was gratified by Hu Shao's affection and trust in her. She gently grasped Hu Shao's wrinkled hand and said, "Father, your daughter will not let you down."
Hu Shao grasped Ji Xiaoxiao's hand in return, his firm gaze revealing unwavering resolve.
Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a smile, her bright eyes sparkling with dazzling light—I'm waiting for you!
Six months later, the Northwest declared itself a kingdom, launching a massive offensive under the pretext of eliminating treacherous and evil forces, advancing southward with unstoppable momentum.
During this time, Ji Xiaoxiao gave birth to twins.
"Hahaha... My Hu family finally has an heir."
Holding his two chubby little boys, Hu Shao couldn't stop smiling.
The day before the emperor's personal expedition, Ji Xiaoxiao handed the twins to Hu Shao.
"Father, I'm entrusting them to you."
Hu Shao carefully and solemnly hugged the twins, "Tian Tian, don't worry, even if it costs me my old life, I will not let Yu Xiang and Zhi Xiang be in any danger."
Looking at the twins, Ji Xiaoxiao felt a pang of reluctance.
A month has passed, and the little monkey has grown into a chubby bun with a round body and fair skin. People who see it can't help but want to take a bite.
Despite her reluctance, Ji Xiaoxiao abruptly turned around, a gust of cool wind startling the twins who were fast asleep, sucking their fingers. Perhaps sensing something, the twins cried loudly in the direction Ji Xiaoxiao had gone, causing their grandfather, Hu Shao, immense heartache.
"Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, Grandpa will cry too."
Watching Ji Xiaoxiao's retreating figure, Hu Shao felt a lump in his throat, and tears welled up in his red eyes.
Ji Xiaoxiao's army marched very fast, and the advance troops arrived much earlier.
Standing atop the wall of Tongluo Town, gazing into the distance and listening intently, one sees a vast open space ahead, dotted with tents, teeming with people, and a deafening cacophony.
After waiting for a while, the curtain of the commander's tent was lifted, and a familiar stranger walked out.
"It really is you, Luo... Qing... Shuang..."
...
Eight months ago, Luo Qingshuang and the Seven-Colored Guards traveled at breakneck speed for the Heavenly Snow Flame Lotus. Fifteen days later, they finally returned to Frost Snow Mountain.
"Palace Master, shall we return to the palace first?"
Upon returning to Frosty Snow Mountain, Zi'er and the others automatically changed how they addressed Luo Qingshuang.
Looking at the snow-covered mountains covered in frost and white snow, with goose feathers fluttering down, and the fifteen buckets of water being drawn up and down, Luo Qingshuang's restless heart suddenly calmed down.
General Weiyuan's mansion is a wolf's den, the Crown Prince's mansion is a tiger's lair, this is her true home!
It's so good to be home!
"Take Hong'er back to the palace first. I need to go to the Xiaoyao Sect." Luo Qingshuang gave the order.
"Miss, you mustn't!" Zi'er immediately stopped her. "That old man Xiaoyaozi has ulterior motives towards you. Going alone is like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Miss, I'll figure out a way to deal with Hong'er's injury later. As for the Heavenly Snow Flame Lotus, my Seven-Colored Guards will also take it back from Xiaoyaozi. You can just wait for news in the palace."
"What do you mean by 'sheep into the tiger's mouth'? Xiaoyaozi is just doing to me what you did to me. I have seen hundreds of people, and I don't care about this old geezer Xiaoyaozi. I promise you, I will return safely."
Luo Qingshuang didn't give Zi'er and the others a chance to persuade her before disappearing into the vast snow.
"Palace Master, Palace Master..." the Seven-Colored Guard cried out in anguish.
How could nothing have happened? Last time, the Palace Master almost died at Xiaoyaozi's hands.
