Yulixiao's pupils contracted and his expression finally darkened. Murderous intent emanated from his body and in an instant, the surrounding guards were all startled and took a few steps back.

Yu Tianqi laughed coldly, and said loudly: "That's impossible, Yu Yan is one of us, she will not return with you. If you want to fight in the battle, we will fight in the end, and we will settle this grudge."

"Emperor, you must not let him go today. Let go of the tiger and return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles in the future! Someone, set up the arrow formation! Today, there will be someone who will kill the traitor Yulixiao, who will be bestowed the surname Wang, and will not take his place. " Empress Dowager Fu Ye slapped the Dragon Throne a few times before shouting harshly.

The sound of the bowstring being pulled could be heard from all around the place. The arrows could take a person's life.

At this time, Yu Tianqi waved his hand and stopped the archers, "All of you, stop."

Yulixiao chuckled, without even looking at the people in the palace, he walked forward with large strides.

At this time, Ye Mingyue and Ye Sujian crawled out from a few steps and quickly followed Yulixiao. Ye Mingyue gently pulled on Yulixiao's sleeves, but Ye Sujian turned her head back three times with a pale face and a tear-filled face.

"Why didn't the Emperor kill him?" Empress Dowager Fu Ye asked Yu Tianqi, flustered and exasperated.

"Look at the people up there." Yu Tianqi slowly sat back on the dragon throne and said softly.

Empress Dowager Fu Ye looked up and saw that the archers had already retreated, they were not their people, but Yulixiao's!

Empress Dowager Fu's expression changed. This was impossible! It was clear that Yu Tianqi's men were ambushed one hour ago, when was it time for them to die? Could it be when the assassin had just attacked? Just how brave and terrifying was Yulixiao's Death Soldier?

Everyone in the hall looked at Yu Tianqi. No one could have imagined that this seduction round would actually end like this! Step by step, he nonchalantly allowed Yu Tianqi to give over the twelve cities to him. The people of the world even wanted to praise him as the number one and one War God in the world for his ability to rule the world.

The situation in the world had changed drastically. Everyone began to worry about tomorrow …

"Why didn't he attack us?" Empress Dowager Fu, who was clutching her handkerchief to her chest, asked with a gloomy expression.

"Yu Yan." Yu Tianqi raised her head, and said this word indifferently.

The doors of the great hall had already opened, and when everyone looked outside, they could see the golden light gradually submerging Yulixiao's back, as he walked further and further away.

Yulixiao did not ride on the horse carriage anymore, and rode out of the city on his own horse.

The wind blew his long robe, enveloping his black hair in a layer of sunlight, dancing in the wind.

Not long after, Chen Yao and Ye Mingyue also arrived on their horses, and the three of them rode out of the city, with the three thousand year old brave troops supporting them from outside, the guards at the city gates did not dare to stop them.

"My prince, what should we do about Yu Yan?" Chen Yao caught up to him and asked loudly.

The corner of Yulixiao's mouth slightly curled into a cold smile. Without even looking at her, he lightly waved his horse whip and entered into the three thousand man army.

The three thousand cavalrymen galloped on their horses. Their imposing manner was so impressive that no one dared to look directly at them. The dust covered the sky from their hoof hooves, making people cough. Everyone was trembling with fear as they moved to the sides and kneeled between the grass and trees, their foreheads touching the ground. Only after these people had left did they dare to look up and guess what was going on.

"Who was it?"

"Looking at its aura, it seems to be similar to the War God King Xiao in the past."

"But he's already ruined his appearance, paralyzed!"

"Then who else would have such a domineering and unparalleled demeanor?"

"You must be seeing things."

The citizens looked puzzled. They stood by the side of the road until the dust was completely gone. Then, they all ran in the direction that they wanted to go.

The three thousand Steel Cavalry advanced at a high speed for a hundred Li before gradually slowing down. All the guards looked towards Yulixiao who was at the front, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the capital.

How many times had he changed his plans for Yu Yan?

But Yu Yan, did you really give him the medicine record? What about my feelings for you? I like you, do you know that? You're the one I want to ride with, don't you know?

Lonely Red Dust, you are the only little cousin I want, Yu Yan.

The three thousand men were stationed outside of Lake City. They were dressed in their unique silver and black armor. Hundreds of tents were lined up along the riverbank, stretching for miles. The torches lit up half the sky.

Chi City was the last checkpoint leading to the 12 northern cities. The defending general was the General Fan Yi, with the "Wei" banner fluttering above the city gates. Hundreds of city guards were standing still on the city gates.

Fan Yi was already over fifty years old, had a beard that reached to his chest, and a nose as wide as a leopard's. His family was still in the capital, and if he were to let them go, then it would be the death of his entire family. If he did not, then he would not be Yulixiao's match.

They had been in a stalemate for two days now, but Yulixiao did not allow anyone to come forward and shout. He did not attack nor take detours.

At the time he was a child, the three thousand men were already under his nose, yet he acted like no one was there. Except for the crackling sound of sparks flying, even the blades that were soaked in blood were carefully placed down without making a single sound.

"Master, what should we do?" The deputy general glanced down at the city gates and asked worriedly.

Fan Yi picked his beard and shook his head, sighing. "Sigh, if he's willing to take a detour, then that's the best. Now that the Emperor has issued an order for me to block the enemies, look at them …" It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that our soldiers didn't die on the battlefield to defend against the invasion, but they died in the hands of their compatriots.

The deputy general nodded, the worry on his face deepening.

It was not without reason that the valiant soldiers were renowned throughout the world. Yulixiao governed the army strictly.

If he wanted to be quiet, no one could make a sound. If he wanted to display his imposing manner, it would be a loud shout that would shake the heavens. If he wanted to attack, he would need a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses. If he wanted to retreat, then he would retreat like the tides and not give you any chance to chase after him.

Now, they were facing such a terrifying team. It had only been a stalemate for two days, but the soldiers guarding the city gates clearly had no more confidence. The outcome of the battle was already decided.

"General, look." The deputy general suddenly pointed downwards and cried out in alarm.

Fan Yi was about to enter the tower, but when he heard the call, he suddenly turned around and strode to the tower. "Are we going to attack?" he asked loudly.

"No, look." The Lieutenant General pointed into the distance with his eyes wide open.

Fan Yi followed his hand and saw two carriages running towards them from afar, breaking the moonlight. As they got closer, the carriage driver waved his whip and stood up on top of the carriage, shouting towards the city gate.

"Fan Yi, listen up! Your highness, your highness, please send your family members back. Quickly open the gates and submit to your highness!"

When Yulixiao brought his family over, Fan Yi grabbed onto the chops of the city gate with his hands. Looking wide-eyed at the wives and daughters who had jumped down from the carriages, he brought back the two wives that had married off with him, as well as his grandson and granddaughter.

Fan Yi no longer had a way out. He made a fist at each other before waving his hand and shouting, "Open the door!"

The city gates slowly opened, and the three thousand men quickly packed up their tents and rode their horses into the city.

Fan Yi led the group of generals to welcome Yulixiao at the city gate. Dressed in a black cloak, with a gust of wind blowing, his dark blue luxurious attire was revealed.

This reaction made Fan Yi very nervous. His knees went soft, and he actually kneeled down.

Seeing Fan Yi kneel down, everyone hurriedly followed, and called him a thousand years old King Xiao.

"Fan Yi, listen up."

The bodyguard Nie Shuangcheng was riding on, as he shouted loudly.

Fan Yi hurriedly cupped his fists and raised his head, then heard Nie Shuangcheng's clear voice saying, "Feng, Fan Yi will add the title of great general He He before the Imperial Guards, he will be bestowed with a title of nobility, and will receive a first class salary without any respect for his heirloom."

Fan Yi Hu's body trembled. Yulixiao was actually called emperor! And he, Fan Yi, was Yulixiao's first general!

In terms of merit, he was also worthy of this achievement. However, because of his straightforward character, he had always been excluded from the center of power by Zhao Taizhu and other powerful officials. His children could not be relegated to this role either.

Men have ambition, and ambition is in their country. Fan Yi had joined the army with eighteen people. With twenty-five generals, thirty of them were able to shake the battlefield and gain a rank only because they were under the will of the heavens. Fan Yi was filled with all sorts of emotions. He wasn't sure if he should thank his master for his kindness, or should berate Yulixiao for rebelling.

At this time, Yulixiao gently waved the horsewhip and spurred his horse forward, saying in a low voice:

"General Fan, a hero doesn't have to be late. A hero only has to be an eternal hero."

Hero... He was an eternal hero! Fan Yi's aging body was suddenly stuffed with another burning torch, which suddenly pulled the man's courage back into his chest.

Heroes appreciated one another. If one could find someone who had already learned about them, they would be smashed to smithereens, regardless of the cost!

Fan Yi lowered his hands and respectfully kowtowed, saying loudly, "Fan Yi, you must swear to follow the Emperor to the death and seize the Great Mystical Mountain."

"It's not seizing, it's building. General need not call me Emperor, King Xiao is very good, able to rule the world. Chi City is temporarily my capital. There will be a meeting tomorrow morning. "

Yulixiao's voice came from the front, and made Fan Yi happy. To build a great family, one must dominate the world... How many years had it been since he had met someone with such lofty aspirations?

Yulixiao, in a few short sentences, had subdued an entire city, and everyone present was convinced by his demeanor.

King Xiao, King Xiao, King Xiao... Suddenly, this shout was like a tsunami, waking up the entire city. Countless people looked out of the doors and windows as they pushed open the city. They were looking up at his peerless grace.

"King Xiao, please rest in this subject's residence." Fan Yi quickly got up, mounted his horse, and followed closely behind.

"No need, as long as you're at the government office. I won't disturb your family reunion." Yulixiao's horse was extremely fast, leaving everyone behind and travelling far away alone.

The moonlight was hazy, like a veil that covered people's eyes. Gradually, his figure disappeared.

Yu Yan's head was aching from sleeping, and she slowly opened her eyes, her nose full of the wet wind and the fragrance of the grass. She raised a hand to rub her forehead, propping herself up on the bed as she slowly sat up.

There was someone by the side of the bed. It took her a while before she could clearly see the person in front of her.

"He woke up." Yu Tianqi smiled, put his hand on her forehead and said gently: "I have slept for two days."

"Two days?" Yu Yan frowned, she pursed her lips, and his throat became so dry that it started to burn.

"Drink." Yu Tianqi hurried over and brought over a tea bowl to her lips.

"Thank you, your majesty." Yu Yan took the tea and drank it all in one go, then asked softly: "Are you guys done fighting?"

After a short moment of silence, Yu Tianqi laughed, and said in a low voice: "The match has yet to begin."

Yu Yan was a little surprised. Didn't they say that they had been fighting for seven days? She slept for two days, long before the fighting began.

"Disappointed? Because he didn't beat me? " Yu Tianqi extended a finger and gently pulled away the black hair by her ear, staring at her rouge like face.

"A little." Yu Yan pushed his finger away and said softly.
