“I didn’t tell him. He bumped into me on the way to the Assassin Alliance. I asked him to keep my secret.”

“Also, the time I woke up in the cave after detoxifying from the love poison, I heard Ji Minglou calling me in my half-asleep state. Coincidentally, I was dreaming again. I dreamed that he bumped into the two of us and killed me.”

If she faced the old Jiang Guanchao, Yun Shuang would definitely not be able to say these words.

They were each more prideful than the other. They could not let go of their dignity.

She relied on the fact that his brain was damaged and he could not understand her at this moment to reveal her thoughts without any burden.

“I’ll fix you up.”

“It doesn’t matter even if you can’t be cured. It doesn’t matter if you never remember. You don’t have to know martial arts and be the leader of the Assassin Alliance… These are all fine.”

Yun Shuang suddenly stopped and looked at the village in front of her.

The afterglow of the setting sun was very beautiful. It blew against the rising smoke from the chimney. It was a worldly scene that had never been seen on the island.

Yun Shuang changed her mind.

She panted slightly and carried him back to the top of the mountain, ignoring her exhaustion.

“I was blind at that time and didn’t see the sunrise that day. It should be beautiful.”

A breeze blew past her ears, and she heard his faint response. “Yes.”

–

In the capital, Shangguan Chuixue, who had “escaped” all the way, was blocked.

The person blocking him was none other than the Great Zhou’s Protector Duke, Qin Che, otherwise known as Su Cheng.

Su Cheng held his saber and looked at Shangguan Chuixue angrily. “Daughter, is it him?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly. “It’s him!”

Shangguan Chuixue looked at the dark Qin family cavalry around them and could not help but twitch his lips. “Girl, there’s no need to mobilize 3,000 troops to capture me alone, right?”

Su Cheng placed his hands on his hips and said, “Not to mention 3,000 troops, I’ll even bring 30,000!”

Mobilizing the army required military pay.

Although Su Cheng’s stingy habits had never changed, he was always willing to spend a fortune on his daughter!

Su Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice, “Dad, where did the military pay come from?”

Su Cheng cleared his throat. “Ahem, Father-in-law gave it to me.”

Su Xiaoxiao, “Grandpa! I want it too!”

Shangguan Chuixue took the opportunity to escape, but Tong Ke’s spear was placed on his neck.

Tong Ke was one of the three fierce generals under Qin Canglan. After the situation with Northern Yan stabilized, Qin Canglan asked him to return to the capital with the excuse of protecting Su Cheng to recuperate.

Shangguan Chuixue sighed helplessly. “Forget it, forget it. To tell you the truth, I’m here to hunt down the Japanese Witch.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “No.”

Shangguan Chuixue took out a handwritten letter. “Here.”

Tong Ke took the letter and handed it to Su Cheng after checking it.

Su Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao read it together.

“Is it a letter from Ling Yun?”

Su Xiaoxiao was shocked. “Could it be fake?”

Shangguan Chuixue said, “Do you think everyone has the ability of the top scholar?”

The matter had to start with Ji Minglou discovering the Japanese. After sensing the Japanese’s scheme, he set off to the Great Zhou to look for Yun Shuang and sent disciples to the Western Jin to inform Ling Yun.

There was a reason why Shangguan Chuixue had decisively left the Hundred Flowers Palace back then.

He had admired Yun Xi, but who knew that Yun Xi would take a fancy to Xiahou Qing when she grew up?

His heart was dead, so he left the sad place.

However, he had actually been in contact with Ling Yun all these years.

Shangguan Chuixue said, “I’ve been to Japan and understand the habits of the Japanese people. I know that you captured the Japanese people and killed the Japanese Witch, but there’s more than one Japanese Witch. The Japanese people’s scheme is also greater than yours.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him skeptically. “In that case, why did you sow discord between Mother Palace Lord and Alliance Master Jiang?”

Shangguan Chuixue spread his hands. “If I don’t give them a push, can they do it?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You gave them a push and made them disappear?”

“Ahem.”

Shangguan Chuixue cleared his throat heavily. “I drugged the lotus pastry, which has the effect of causing the person eating it to lose all his martial arts… Don’t worry, it’s only for a short period of time! It will recover after the medicine wears off! My plan was to let that guy be captured by the Japanese with me so that I could force Cousin’s feelings. Who would have thought that… that guy would be so good at fighting after being drugged… He even overturned the roof… and the roof beam smashed him…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where did it smash him?”

Shangguan Chuixue said, “Head.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

“Are you sure you did not have any selfish thoughts at all?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked solemnly.

Shangguan Chuixue thought for a moment and told the truth. “Yes, I want to beat him up while he doesn’t have any martial arts.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless again.

Su Cheng said, “Daughter, don’t worry. That Alliance Master Jiang sounds very powerful. He shouldn’t die from it. At most, he’ll become a fool!”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Dad, thank you.”

Su Cheng waved his saber. “I’ll bring people to salvage the situation! Tong Ke!”

Tong Ke did not move.

The 3,000 cavalry did not move.

Tong Ke said, “High Duke, we’re not good at water.”

Su Cheng was speechless.

He immediately said, “I’m going to the Su family!”

At this moment, Wuhu flew back valiantly on its golden eagle carriage.

Wuhu threw its small wings angrily. “Despicable! Shameful! Shameless!”

“He’s even more shameless than the male owner!”

“Damn!”

Wuhu complained.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Dad, there’s no need to go to the Su family.”

Su Cheng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her hips.

From Su Cheng to Su Xiaoxiao to Xiaohu, their postures were simply the same.

She snorted. “The assassin leader is very bad. He kidnapped Mother Palace Lord!”

–

A few days later, the hidden forces of Japan in the Great Zhou were uprooted. Shangguan Chuixue left the Great Zhou and went to the Western Jin to look for Ling Yun.

August quietly passed.

On the 9th of September, two major events happened in the capital.

The first was that Qin Canglan led the soldiers of the three armies back in triumph.

The Crown Prince, Xiao Zhonghua, personally went out of the city to welcome him. The commoners celebrated.

The second thing was that Emperor Jing Xuan was dying.

Qin Canglan’s horse was stopped before returning to the Protectorate.

He was dressed in armor and was tall and mighty, like a war god emperor. His aura was overwhelming.

The man in black broke out in cold sweat.

He got off the horse and cupped his hands at Qin Canglan. “Grand Marshal, His Majesty urgently summons you!”
