Chapter 396 - LunaOn the morning of the second day, a continuous tide of beasts had surrounded the Western Lion Country. They did not stir any alarm, but rather continued to gather their strength and wait for the next wave of siege! Every time this happened, the commoners of the prefectural city would feel a rare sense of peace.
However, just at this moment, the south gate and east gate of the County City of West Leong suddenly shone with a blazing light. In the next moment, the fire of countless Cloud Crystal Cannons, Spirit Extinguishing Bows and Meteor Crossbows, which covered the sky, suddenly bombarded the Cloud Beasts" camp.
"Boom boom boom!"
For a time, the earth trembled, and countless Cloud Beasts perished under the bombardment of the cannon fire. The previously dormant Cloud Beasts exploded, and their instinctual attacks caused them to involuntarily charge towards the southeast two gates of the County City, charging towards the formation!Both sides immediately began to fight intensely, and this was also the first time that the Western Lion County City had launched an attack on a cloud beast herd. The southeast direction immediately became the main battlefield where the cloud beasts began their counterattack.
Chu Xi He stood at the top of the city gate and watched it for a while, then jumped down a dozen feet into the air and landed in front of the city gate. At this moment, Xiang Yun was wearing a set of light golden armor, followed by a group of hundreds of Snow Wolf riders covered in black armor.
Xiang Yun stood at the very front, beside Ma Duan, Zhu Kai, and the people who had come to send him off were Bi Hongzhang and Chu Xihe. At this moment, Meng Taizhen was directing the battle back and forth between the southeast gate, attracting the Cloud Beast"s main forces to fight for the best opportunity for Xiang Yun and the rest!
Chu Xihe landed beside Xiang Yun and clasped his hands, "Your Highness Crown Prince, Grand Concubine Meng has already attracted the main forces of the Cloud Beast horde. Now is the best time to leave the city!"
Xiang Yun cautiously nodded his head!Immediately after, Chu Xihe slapped his palm towards the sky, and the sound of a drum rang out!
On the hill above the west city, the already prepared artillery and crossbows received the order to fire their cannons and draw their bowstrings to shoot their arrows!
"Boom boom!"
"Swoosh swoosh!"The cannon fire rained down from the sky and for a time, the sky shook and the earth shook. The center of the originally thin cloud beast herd outside the west gate was blasted by the fire, creating a charred vacuum area!
At the same time, the west gate tunnel opened. A group of cavalry soldiers charged out, following the path of the cannon fire, the huge wolf mount charged all the way, like a black shadow, it instantly broke out of the encirclement!
At this moment, standing on top of the city gate tower, Bi Hongzhang looked at the troop rushing away amidst the beast tide with worry in his eyes.
"I wonder if His Highness, the crown prince, can reach Qin Feng City smoothly?"
Chu Xihe patted his shoulder and said, "Since when did you become such a sad old fellow? We can"t stop His Highness from leaving, so we might as well let His Highness give it a try. This might be our last hope!"
"Right now, what we should do is protect the millions of civilians and soldiers of the Western Lion Country. If we can delay them one day at a time, then His Highness" painstaking efforts will not be in vain!"
Chu Xi He looked to the west, and the figure that was gradually leaving the herd of beasts, revealed a hint of respect in his eyes.
"Hmph, I didn"t expect that you, Chu Dairang, would have some opinions. Just let it go and I and an old man like you will fight to the death for this Western Lion Country city, to buy more time for your highness!""Ha hha, this is what a man should be like!"
"Nonsense, this old man has a treasured blade that hasn"t aged yet!"
Time flew and in the blink of an eye, the day turned into night …
In the southern part of Wind Cloud Country, compared to the northwest, where the beast tide was wreaking havoc, the entire southeast side …
The direction was still tranquil and peaceful. Dragon City, the center of the brightly lit nation that was like a giant dragon coiled on the ground, was still prosperous and peaceful!Inside the Dragon City"s Imperial Palace, the jade ornaments were still there, and her beauty had yet to change.
The pavilion, the rock garden, the potted plants, and even the lake water, all had lotus flower lanterns floating on the surface of the water. The starry sky was especially beautiful, as if there were two stars in the sky.There were two eunuchs wearing square hats standing outside the pavilion. There were six beautiful court ladies listening to the conversation, and in their hands they were holding a plate of exquisite and colorful snacks. The intoxicating fragrance wafted from the jade wine pot, and was carefully placed on the table one by one.
At this moment, there were two people sitting in the pavilion, one in a five clawed golden dragon robe, one in a pair of boots made of silk, one in a golden crown with dragon markings on it, with a tall and st.u.r.dy figure and a handsome face. However, they were not considered handsome, but they were mighty and their temperament was very impressive, and there was only one person in the Dragon City who dared to wear a five clawed golden dragon robe, which was His Majesty Xiang Lingfeng.
At this moment, Xiang Lingfeng was still standing tall and straight, his bearing extraordinary. However, the expression on his face was especially gentle, his eyes no longer as resolute and ruthless as they were before. Instead, a look of infatuation appeared within them.
Following Xiang Lingfeng"s gaze, he saw a woman sitting beside him. Her eyes were like stars, her eyebrows were like jade, her neck was like a goose, and her skin was like snow!
Her hair was like a waterfall, tied behind her head by a seven tailed wind hairpin, and her light purple long dress wrapped around her exquisite curvy body. Two snow-white ta.s.sels slipped down from her shoulders, and just one side was left, in between her eyebrows was a touch of captivating charm, so beautiful that it was suffocating!
There were no emotions in the woman"s eyes, nor was she looking at the ruler of the State of Feng Yun. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, and her cold pupils moved slightly.
Xiang Lingfeng stared foolishly at this scene. His heart that had long been tempered as hard as steel by the emperor"s technique actually trembled a little. It had developed a desire for subjugation, a compet.i.tive spirit that could even match up to a proud man!
"No matter what, Yun Yue Ji, I will conquer you!"
At this time, among the many palace maids, one of them who was wearing a red dress and had an elegant figure came forward and greeted the purple-clothed woman."Esteemed imperial concubine, these pastries were ordered by His Majesty to be served in the imperial kitchens. They were specially prepared for you and are all your favorite pastries. Your Majesty ordered eight hundred kilometers of Ice Soul Wine to be taken from our Shuiyue Kingdom."
Xiang Lingfeng"s expression did not change, but there was a trace of pride in the corner of his eyes.
However, the girl called Yun Fei"s eyes didn"t waver for a moment. She didn"t even turn her head around; she only nodded slightly and said blandly, "Thank you, your Majesty!"
Xiang Lingfeng laughed in disdain, "Imperial Concubine Yun, are you used to living in the new Moon Embracing Hall that I built for you?"
At this time, the woman"s gaze swept across the garden full of fire trees and silver flowers, as well as the clear and bright lake water. She then stood up and faced Xiang Lingfeng, bowing slightly as she said, "Moon Embracing Hall and Yue Ji"s mansion in the Kingdom of Water Moon are almost exactly the same. Yue Ji has been living here for a long time, so Your Majesty has troubled yourself.""Hehe." Xiang Lingfeng laughed lightly, "Why bother saying that two years ago, you followed the King of Water Moon into the palace, and the king of Water Moon Kingdom gave you to me. Now that you are my imperial concubine and my wife, it is only natural that I do all of this for you."
As Xiang Lingfeng spoke, he reached out his hand to take Yunyue Ji"s soft, small hands. However, Yunyue Ji took a step back and avoided Xiang Lingfeng"s hands. Although she lowered her head in a respectful posture, there was a faint feeling of rejection …
The feeling of being outside.Xiang Lingfeng frowned slightly, a sullen look appearing in his eyes, but in the next moment he concealed it, "It"s alright, Imperial Concubine Yun. Xiang Lingfeng"s brow furrowed slightly, and a sullen look in his eyes, but in the next moment it was covered up," It"s fine, Imperial Concubine Yun, you don"t have to be polite.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yunyue nodded and took a seat from the outside.
Xiang Lingfeng swept his gaze over the maidservants in the pavilion and the gatekeeper outside the hall. With a light wave of his hand, the crowd immediately retreated without a sound.
At this moment, there were only Xiang Lingfeng and Yun Yue Ji in the pavilion. Since the emperor was with his imperial concubine, logically speaking, his concubine should be extremely gentle in order to please and serve the emperor. However, Yun Yue Ji was still silent, her expression indifferent, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Xiang Lingfeng, who was standing at the side, was not angered by this. Instead, he personally lifted up the wine jug to pour Yun Yue Ji"s wine. Yun Yue Ji shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, Yue Ji"s stomach is not feeling well today. I cannot drink. Please do not blame me, Your Majesty."
Xiang Lingfeng"s expression froze for a moment before he smiled, "Since your body is not feeling well, then naturally you can"t drink alcohol. How could I force you?"
As Xiang Lingfeng spoke, he poured himself a cup of wine. After a few cups of wine, the alcohol spread throughout his body, causing his body to feel slightly scorching hot.Xiang Lingfeng"s gaze also unconsciously swept across Yun Yue Ji"s body once more. Her slender waist was bundled up, and with a single grasp, she was able to move the mountains and move their hearts. This graceful figure was a little more fat, a little less thin, a little less perfect.
Unknowingly, Xiang Lingfeng"s gaze had turned unrestrained and unrestrained, a hint of l.u.s.t rising within him. He had longed for this perfect body for two full years!
Perhaps because there were too many worries on his mind recently, or because the alcohol tonight was too strong, it freed his mind and caused this monarch to lose his usual calmness. He suddenly extended his hand and wrapped it around Yun Yue Ji"s slender waist!
Yun Yue immediately noticed. She hurriedly got up and dodged Xiang Lingfeng"s hand!"Your Majesty!"
"En!"
When Xiang Lingfeng saw Yun Yue Ji move away once again, he immediately frowned. His hand shot out like lightning and grabbed Yun Yue Ji"s hand. That soft and smooth feeling entered his hand and Xiang Lingfeng instantly felt a ball of fire rush up from his dantian!
"Your Majesty, please have some self-respect!" Xiang Lingfeng grabbed Yun Yue Ji"s hand, but was unable to pull it away. Yun Yue immediately cried out somewhat panickedly.
Xiang Lingfeng, on the other hand, glared at Yun Yue and said, "Take care of yourself! You dare to make me respect you. You know I"m the most respected in the world. Who would dare to say such words to me?! Furthermore, you are my imperial concubine and my woman! Could it be that I can"t even touch you? "
"Your Majesty, you can"t do this. I"m a princess of the Shuiyue Kingdom, you can"t force me!" Yun Yue was still trying to struggle free from Xiang Lingfeng"s grasp, but no matter what, she could not break free.
Even your royal father has to listen to my orders, let alone you, Yun Yue Ji, we have been waiting for you for two years. You are the first woman who dared to make us wait, but we no longer have the patience to play such a silly game with you!"Tonight, I shall truly obtain you!"
Xiang Lingfeng actually ignored Yun Yue Ji"s resistance and pulled her into his embrace. Smelling the refreshing scent of a virgin coming from Yun Yue Ji"s body, Xiang Lingfeng could not help but narrow his eyes in intoxication as he took in a deep breath!
"Let me go!"
Yun Yue"s eyes finally revealed an extremely terrified expression. She struggled with all her might but it was useless. She raised her head to look at the palace maids and eunuchs …He had long since disappeared.
